For example, the power supply voltage and test data involved in this application were obtained with full authorization.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic diagram of an implementation environment for an injector control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. This implementation environment includes a vehicle control device 10 and a vehicle 20; vehicle 20 is provided with an engine 201 and an injector 202. Engine 201 is used to provide power to vehicle 20, and injector 202 is used to supply fuel to engine 201. Vehicle control device 10 is used to control injector 202 to improve fuel utilization efficiency, thereby reducing vehicle 20's fuel consumption and reducing environmental pollution caused by emissions. Vehicle 20 is a fuel-powered vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, without specific limitation.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , which shows a flow chart of a method for controlling a fuel injector according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 , the method comprising:

[0068] Step 201: Determine a plurality of supply voltages, where the plurality of supply voltages are used to power a fuel injector of an engine, so as to test a response delay time of the fuel injector under the plurality of supply voltages.

[0069] The first implementation method: the engine's injector is often powered by a battery, and the battery voltage is often within a range, and the multiple supply voltages are multiple voltages within the supply voltage range of the virtual battery; accordingly, the steps of determining the multiple supply voltages can be: determining the supply voltage range of the battery, and determining multiple supply voltages within the supply voltage range of the battery.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the step of determining multiple supply voltages within the supply voltage range of the battery may be: sampling integer voltage values ​​within the supply voltage range of the battery to obtain multiple supply voltages; for example, if the supply voltage range of the battery is 7 volts-14 volts, then sampling integer voltage values ​​within the supply voltage range of the battery to obtain multiple supply voltages of 7 volts, 8 volts, 9 volts, 10 volts, 11 volts, 12 volts, 13 volts, and 14 volts.

[0071] In another possible implementation, the step of determining multiple supply voltages within the battery supply voltage range may include: sampling within the battery supply voltage range to obtain multiple sampled voltages, determining the multiple sampled voltages as a power supply frequency for powering the injector, and, based on the multiple sampled voltages as the power supply frequency for powering the injector, determining from the multiple sampled voltages a sampled voltage having a power supply frequency higher than a first preset frequency as the supply voltage. For example, the multiple determined supply voltages may be 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts, and 14 volts. In this embodiment of the present application, selecting the sampled voltage with a higher power supply frequency as the supply voltage based on the power supply frequency for powering the injector can improve the accuracy of the supply voltage determination.

[0072] In a second implementation, the multiple supply voltages may be historical supply voltages of the injector. Accordingly, the step of determining the multiple supply voltages may include determining multiple historical supply voltages of the engine injector and determining the multiple supply voltages from the multiple historical supply voltages. For example, the multiple historical supply voltages may be used as the multiple supply voltages. In another example, a historical supply voltage having a supply frequency greater than a second preset frequency may be determined from the multiple historical supply voltages as the supply voltage.

[0073] The third implementation method: The power supply voltage of the injector of the engine of different vehicles may be different. Therefore, when determining multiple power supply voltages, refer to the vehicle model; accordingly, the steps of determining multiple power supply voltages can be: determine the vehicle model of the current vehicle, and based on the vehicle model of the current vehicle, obtain multiple power supply voltages corresponding to the vehicle model.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the supply voltages of the injectors of the engines of different vehicles may be different; therefore, when determining multiple supply voltages, reference is made to the vehicle model, so that the multiple supply voltages determined are adapted to the current vehicle, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the multiple supply voltages.

[0075] Step 202: For each supply voltage, power the injector via the supply voltage.

[0076] The embodiment of the present application is to calibrate the correspondence between the supply voltage of the injector and the response delay time; therefore, the response delay time of the injector is set to 0 before calibration; then the power supply line of the injector is separately led out and connected to a stable power supply, and the supply voltage of the injector is adjusted by adjusting the output voltage of the stable power supply, and then the response delay time of the injector under multiple power supply voltages is determined through steps 203-206. For example, the multiple power supply voltages are 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts respectively; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 7 volts, and the injector is powered by the 7 volt voltage, and then steps 203-206 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the 7 volt supply voltage; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 8 volts, and the injector is powered by the 8 volt voltage, and then steps 203-206 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the 8 volt supply voltage; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 10 volts, and the 10 The fuel injector is powered by a 10-volt voltage, and then steps 203-206 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the 10-volt supply voltage; the output voltage of the stable power supply is then adjusted to 12 volts, the fuel injector is powered by the 12-volt voltage, and then steps 203-206 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the 12-volt supply voltage; the output voltage of the stable power supply is then adjusted to 14 volts, the fuel injector is powered by the 14-volt voltage, and then steps 203-206 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the 14-volt supply voltage.

[0077] For example, see Figure 3 The supply voltage of the injector is SSUB_UbStd_b, and the injector is powered by SSUB_UbStd_b. At this time, the initial response delay time of the injector is Fl2Ti_tdInjUb_CUR, and Fl2Ti_tdInjUb_CUR is set to 0. Then, the response delay time Fl2Ti_tdInjUb of the injector under multiple supply voltages is determined.

[0078] Step 203: Control the fuel injector to perform a fuel injection operation for a preset time period under the power supply voltage.

[0079] The engine's throttle opening is adjusted to change the injection pulse width, so that the injection pulse width increases from a small value to a uniform distribution. Simultaneously, the injector fuel injection amount and ignition angle are adjusted to achieve optimal engine combustion and a preset air-fuel ratio. The preset value can be 1, meaning the air-fuel ratio is 1. After combustion stabilizes, multiple sampling points are determined by dotting. The preset duration can be set and modified as needed and is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the application. For example, the preset duration can be 30 seconds.

[0080] Throttle opening refers to the angle at which the engine throttle valve opens. It's controlled by the driver using the accelerator pedal to vary the amount of air entering the engine, thereby controlling engine operation. Injection pulse width refers to the duration of each injection controlled by the vehicle's control system and is the primary indicator of proper engine injector operation.

[0081] The injection rate is the amount of fuel injected by the injector at one time, and is determined by the engine's intake air volume and engine speed. The ignition angle refers to the angle of crankshaft rotation from the moment of ignition until the piston reaches compression top dead center.

[0082] Step 204: During the fuel injection operation, test data of multiple sampling points are obtained. The test data of each sampling point includes the injection pulse width of the injector and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine.

[0083] Each time a sampling point is marked, the injection pulse width of the injector corresponding to the sampling point and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine are obtained, until multiple sampling points are marked, and the injection pulse width of the injector corresponding to multiple sampling points and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine are obtained.

[0084] Step 205: Determine the response delay time of the injector under the supply voltage based on the test data of the multiple sampling points.

[0085] Based on the test data of multiple sampling points, first relationship data between the instantaneous fuel consumption value and the injection pulse width is determined; the vertical intercept of the first relationship data is determined, and the vertical intercept is used as the response delay time of the injector under the power supply voltage.

[0086] The first relationship data between instantaneous fuel consumption and injection pulse width is used to represent the relationship between the instantaneous fuel consumption and the injection pulse width. The dependent variable of this first relationship data is the injection pulse width, and the independent variable is the instantaneous fuel consumption. Based on test data from multiple sampling points, the instantaneous fuel consumption and injection pulse width are fitted to obtain the first relationship data between the instantaneous fuel consumption and injection pulse width. For example, the first relationship data is y = ax + b, where y is the injection pulse width, x is the instantaneous fuel consumption, and b is the vertical intercept of this first relationship data.

[0087] Step 206: Determine a corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the response delay time of the injector under the supply voltage.

[0088] For each of the plurality of supply voltages, the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage is determined through the above steps 203-205. Since there are a plurality of supply voltages, a plurality of response delay times corresponding to the plurality of supply voltages are determined; for example, the plurality of supply voltages are 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts, and the response delay times corresponding to the 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts are 2.613, 1.649, 1.036, 0.574 and 0.400 respectively. After determining the plurality of supply voltages and the response delay times corresponding to the plurality of supply voltages, the plurality of supply voltages and the response delay times corresponding to the plurality of supply voltages are stored in the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time.

[0089] In a possible implementation, the determination model of the response delay time is obtained by training a model based on the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time, and the determination model of the response delay time is used to subsequently determine the response delay time corresponding to the current supply voltage of the fuel injector. The step of obtaining the determination model of the response delay time by training a model based on the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time can be: determining a plurality of positive sample data based on the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time, the positive sample data including the calibrated supply voltage and the response delay time, determining a plurality of negative sample data, the negative sample data including random supply voltage and response delay time, performing iterative training of the model based on the plurality of positive sample data and the plurality of negative sample data, and until the training is completed to obtain the determination model of the response delay time.

[0090] It should be noted that steps 201-206 are a calibration process of the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage and the response delay time, and the calibration process only needs to be performed once, and subsequent control of the fuel injector is directly based on steps 207-209.

[0091] In another possible implementation, after the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated, the correspondence is stored locally, and the fuel injector is controlled directly based on the correspondence from the local storage in the future. Alternatively, after the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated, the correspondence is sent to a cloud server, and the correspondence is shared by the cloud server to other vehicles, so that the other vehicles do not need to perform the above calibration process, and the fuel injector is controlled directly based on the calibrated correspondence. Alternatively, after the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated, the correspondence is sent to a mobile phone corresponding to the vehicle, so that the mobile phone shares the correspondence with friends of the user. Alternatively, after the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated, the Bluetooth device of the vehicle is turned on, the Bluetooth transmission channel is established between the Bluetooth device of the vehicle and the Bluetooth device of the surrounding vehicle, and the correspondence is shared with the surrounding vehicle through the Bluetooth transmission channel.

[0092] The process of establishing the Bluetooth transmission channel between the Bluetooth device of the vehicle and the Bluetooth device of the surrounding vehicle and sharing the correspondence with the surrounding vehicle through the Bluetooth transmission channel can include: determining the vehicle model of the surrounding vehicle through the Bluetooth transmission channel; in a case where the vehicle model of the vehicle is the same as the vehicle model of the surrounding vehicle, sharing the correspondence with the surrounding vehicle through the Bluetooth transmission channel; and in a case where the vehicle model of the vehicle is not the same as the vehicle model of the surrounding vehicle, not performing the sharing operation.

[0093] Step 207: When the fuel injector is controlled, the current supply voltage of the fuel injector is obtained.

[0094] Since the fuel injector is powered by the battery, the output voltage of the battery is determined in this step, and the output voltage of the battery is the current supply voltage of the fuel injector.

[0095] Step 208: Based on the current supply voltage, the response delay time corresponding to the current supply voltage is determined from the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time.

[0096] The first implementation manner is as follows: based on the current power supply voltage, the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is searched from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time; in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is searched from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the searched response delay time is acquired; in the case that the current power supply voltage is not searched from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the power supply voltage closest to the current power supply voltage is acquired from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time; the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage is acquired from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time; and the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage is corrected to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0097] The response delay time is corrected by increasing or decreasing the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage by a preset time length; and correspondingly, the step of correcting the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage can be as follows: in the case that the current power supply voltage is greater than the closest power supply voltage, a first preset time length is decreased from the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage; and in the case that the current power supply voltage is less than the closest power supply voltage, a second preset time length is increased from the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0098] The first preset time length and the second preset time length can be set and changed as needed, and in the embodiments of the present application, the first preset time length and the second preset time length are not specifically limited.

[0099] The second implementation manner is as follows: the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is determined by the response delay times corresponding to two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage; and correspondingly, in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is not searched from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time based on the current power supply voltage, the response delay times corresponding to two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage are acquired from the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, and the average of the response delay times corresponding to the two adjacent power supply voltages is determined to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0100] In a third implementation manner, in a case where the current power supply voltage does not correspond to the response delay time in the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the second relationship data between the power supply voltage and the response delay time is obtained by fitting the power supply voltage and the response delay time based on the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time; and the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is determined based on the current power supply voltage and the second relationship data.

[0101] The second relationship data between the power supply voltage and the response delay time is used to represent the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time; and the dependent variable of the second relationship data is the response delay time, and the independent variable is the power supply voltage; the independent variable is set as the current power supply voltage, and the dependent variable determined based on the second relationship data is the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, in a case where the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is queried in the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the response delay time in the correspondence is used as a reference, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined response delay time; in a case where the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage cannot be queried in the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the response delay time is determined based on the second relationship data obtained by fitting, and the second relationship data is determined based on the power supply voltage and the response delay time in the correspondence; therefore, the second relationship data is also relatively accurate, and the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage determined based on the second relationship data is also relatively accurate.

[0103] Step 209: controlling the fuel injector based on the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0104] The response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage is accumulated as a revision time on the fuel injection pulse width, thereby achieving the control of the fuel injector.

[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, in the calibration phase, the correspondence between the power supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated, that is, the response delay time of the fuel injector under different power supply voltages is obtained in advance; therefore, when the fuel injector is controlled, the response delay time of the fuel injector under the current power supply voltage can be obtained based on the current power supply voltage of the fuel injector; since the accurate response delay time is obtained, the control precision of the fuel injector is improved based on the response delay time.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 4 which shows a flowchart of a control method of a fuel injector according to an example embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 4 The method comprises the following steps.

[0107] Step 401: The vehicle control device determines multiple supply voltages and multiple speeds, where the multiple supply voltages are used to power an injector of an engine to test a response delay time of the injector under the multiple supply voltages when the engine speed is multiple speeds.

[0108] The multiple speeds can be engine speeds when the vehicle speed is higher than a preset speed; for example, the multiple speeds can be 2000 and 2500. Because a vehicle often accelerates first, then travels at high speed, and then decelerates to a stop, and high-speed travel takes a long time, the engine speed during high-speed travel is determined and calibrated, thereby improving the accuracy of the calibrated response delay time. In some embodiments, the process for the vehicle control device to determine the multiple supply voltages is the same as step 201 and will not be repeated here.

[0109] Step 402: For each supply voltage and each speed, the vehicle control device controls the speed of the engine to the speed, and supplies power to the injector through the supply voltage.

[0110] The embodiment of the application is to calibrate the corresponding relationship between the supply voltage of the fuel injector and the response delay time; therefore, the response delay time of the fuel injector is set to 0 before calibration; then the supply line of the fuel injector is separately connected to the stable power supply, the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to adjust the supply voltage of the fuel injector, and the engine speed is adjusted to one of the multiple speeds, and then the response delay time of the fuel injector under the supply of the multiple supply voltages is determined through steps 403-407. For example, the multiple supply voltages are 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts, and the multiple speeds are 2000 and 2500; the engine speed is adjusted to 2000, the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 7 volts, the fuel injector is supplied with 7-volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 7 volts when the engine speed is 2000; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 8 volts, the fuel injector is supplied with 8-volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 8 volts when the engine speed is 2000; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 10 volts, the fuel injector is supplied with 10-volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 10 volts when the engine speed is 2000; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 12 volts, the fuel injector is supplied with 12-volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 12 volts when the engine speed is 2000; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 14 volts, the fuel injector is supplied with 14-volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are executed to determine the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 14 volts when the engine speed is 2000.Then adjust the engine speed to 2500 and the output voltage of the stable power supply to 7 volts, and power the injector with 7 volts, and then execute steps 403-407 to determine the engine speed is 2500 and the response delay time corresponding to the 7 volt power supply voltage; then adjust the output voltage of the stable power supply to 8 volts, and power the injector with 8 volts, and then execute steps 403-407 to determine the engine speed is 2500 and the response delay time corresponding to the 8 volt power supply voltage; then adjust the output voltage of the stable power supply to 10 volts, and power the injector with 10 volts, and then execute Steps 403-407 are performed to determine that the engine speed is 2500 and the response delay time corresponding to the power supply voltage of 10 volts; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 12 volts, and the injector is powered by the 12 volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are performed to determine that the engine speed is 2500 and the response delay time corresponding to the power supply voltage of 12 volts; then the output voltage of the stable power supply is adjusted to 14 volts, and the injector is powered by the 14 volt voltage, and then steps 403-407 are performed to determine that the engine speed is 2500 and the response delay time corresponding to the power supply voltage of 14 volts.

[0111] Step 403: The vehicle control device controls the fuel injector to perform a fuel injection operation for a preset time period under power supply voltage.

[0112] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 203 and will not be repeated here.

[0113] Step 404: During the fuel injection operation, the vehicle control device obtains test data of multiple sampling points. The test data of each sampling point includes the injection pulse width of the injector and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine.

[0114] For example, see Figure 5 , when the engine speed is 2000, the relationship between the injection pulse width and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine at the supply voltage of 7V, 8V, 10V, 12V and 14V is shown in the figure. In this relationship diagram, the horizontal axis is the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine and the vertical axis is the injection pulse width. Please refer to Figure 6 , when the engine speed is 2500, the relationship diagram of the injection pulse width and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine under the supply voltage of 7V, 8V, 10V, 12V and 14V respectively. In this relationship diagram, the horizontal axis is the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine and the vertical axis is the injection pulse width.

[0115] Step 405: The vehicle control device determines, based on the test data of the multiple sampling points, a response delay time of the injector at each of the multiple speeds and the supply voltage when the engine speed is at the multiple speeds.

[0116] For example, the plurality of rotational speeds are 2000 and 2500 respectively, and the plurality of supply voltages are 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts respectively. The vehicle control device obtains the response delay time of the fuel injector under the supply voltage of 7 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts, 12 volts and 14 volts respectively when the rotational speed of the engine is 2000.

[0117] Step 406: The vehicle control device determines the average response time of the fuel injector under the supply voltage based on the response delay time of the fuel injector under each rotational speed of the plurality of rotational speeds and the supply voltage, and obtains the response delay time of the fuel injector under the test voltage.

[0118] The vehicle control device determines the first relationship data between the instantaneous fuel consumption value and the fuel injection pulse width based on the test data of the plurality of sampling points, determines the vertical intercept of the first relationship data, and takes the vertical intercept as the response delay time of the fuel injector under the supply voltage. For example, please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6When the engine speed is 2000 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 7 volts, the first relational data is y = 0.3061x + 2.9269, and the response delay time is 2.9269. When the engine speed is 2000 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 8 volts, the first relational data is y = 0.3389x + 1.7503, and the response delay time is 1.7503. When the engine speed is 2000 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 10 volts, the first relational data is y = 0.3414x + 1.128, and the response delay time is 1.128. When the engine speed is 2000 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 12 volts, the first relational data is y = 0.3505x + 0.5149, and the response delay time is 0.5149. When the engine speed is 2000 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 14 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.3409x + 0.4453, and the response delay time is 0.4453. When the engine speed is 2500 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 7 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.3376x + 2.3909, and the response delay time is 2.3909. When the engine speed is 2500 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 8 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.3392x + 1.6556, and the response delay time is 1.6556. When the engine speed is 2500 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 10 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.3355x + 1.0205, and the response delay time is 1.0205. When the engine speed is 2500 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 12 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.3334x + 0.7145, and the response delay time is 0.7145. When the engine speed is 2500 rpm and the injector supply voltage is 14 volts, the first relationship data is y = 0.343x + 0.395, and the response delay time is 0.395.

[0119] For example, see Figure 7For the case that the supply voltage of the fuel injector is 7 volts, the vehicle control device determines the average response delay time of the engine at the speeds of 2000 and 2500, respectively, which is the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 7 volts, for example, the response delay time is 2.613; for the case that the supply voltage of the fuel injector is 8 volts, the vehicle control device determines the average response delay time of the engine at the speeds of 2000 and 2500, respectively, which is the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 8 volts, for example, the response delay time is 1.649; for the case that the supply voltage of the fuel injector is 10 volts, the vehicle control device determines the average response delay time of the engine at the speeds of 2000 and 2500, respectively, which is the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 10 volts, for example, the response delay time is 1.036; for the case that the supply voltage of the fuel injector is 23 volts, the vehicle control device determines the average response delay time of the engine at the speeds of 2000 and 2500, respectively, which is the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 23 volts, for example, the response delay time is 0.574; for the case that the supply voltage of the fuel injector is 14 volts, the vehicle control device determines the average response delay time of the engine at the speeds of 2000 and 2500, respectively, which is the response delay time corresponding to the supply voltage of 14 volts, for example, the response delay time is 0.400.

[0120] Step 407: The vehicle control device determines the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the response delay time of the fuel injector at the supply voltage.

[0121] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 207, which will not be repeated here.

[0122] Step 408: When controlling the fuel injector, the vehicle control device obtains the current supply voltage of the fuel injector.

[0123] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 207, which will not be repeated here.

[0124] Step 409: The vehicle control device determines the response delay time corresponding to the current supply voltage from the correspondence between the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the current supply voltage.

[0125] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 208, which will not be repeated here.

[0126] Step 410: The vehicle control device controls the fuel injector based on the response delay time corresponding to the current supply voltage.

[0127] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 209, which will not be repeated here.

[0128] In the embodiment of the present application, since the average response time of the fuel injector under the condition that the rotation speed of the engine is the plurality of rotation speeds is obtained in the calibration stage, the accuracy of the corresponding relationship between the calibrated supply voltage and the response delay time is improved. Therefore, when the fuel injector is controlled, the corresponding response delay time can be accurately determined from the corresponding relationship between the calibrated supply voltage and the response delay time based on the current supply voltage of the fuel injector, so that the accuracy of the determined response delay time is improved, and the control precision of the fuel injector based on the response delay time is improved.

[0129] Please refer to Figure 8 which shows a flowchart of a control method of a fuel injector according to an example embodiment of the present application. Please refer to Figure 8 The method comprises the following steps.

[0130] Step 801: The vehicle control device determines a plurality of supply voltages and a plurality of rotation speeds, the plurality of supply voltages are used to supply power to the fuel injector of the engine, and the response delay time of the fuel injector under the condition that the rotation speed of the engine is the plurality of rotation speeds is tested.

[0131] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 401, and will not be repeated here.

[0132] Step 802: For each supply voltage and each rotation speed, the vehicle control device controls the rotation speed of the engine to be the rotation speed, and supplies power to the fuel injector by the supply voltage.

[0133] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 402, and will not be repeated here.

[0134] Step 803: The vehicle control device controls the fuel injector to perform a preset time length of fuel injection operation under the supply voltage.

[0135] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 403, and will not be repeated here.

[0136] Step 804: In the process of performing the fuel injection operation, the vehicle control device obtains test data of a plurality of sampling points, and the test data of each sampling point comprises the fuel injection pulse width of the fuel injector and the instantaneous fuel consumption value of the engine.

[0137] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 404, and will not be repeated here.

[0138] Step 805: The vehicle control device determines the response delay time of the fuel injector under the condition that the rotation speed of the engine is each rotation speed of the plurality of rotation speeds and the supply voltage based on the test data of the plurality of sampling points.

[0139] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 405, and will not be repeated here.

[0140] Step 806: The vehicle control device determines the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time.

[0141] For example, the engine speed is 2000 and 2500 respectively, and the supply voltage is 7V, 8V, 10V, 12V and 14V respectively, the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time is shown in Table 1 as follows:

[0142] Table 1

[0143] Engine speed Supply voltage to injector (volts) Response delay time of injector (seconds) 2000 7 2.9269 2000 8 1.7503 2000 10 1.128 2000 12 0.5149 2000 14 0.4453 2500 7 2.3909 2500 8 1.6556 2500 10 1.0205 2500 12 0.7145 2500 14 0.395

[0144] Step 807: When the fuel injector is controlled, the vehicle control device acquires the current supply voltage of the fuel injector.

[0145] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 207, which will not be described here.

[0146] Step 808: The vehicle control device determines the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current supply voltage from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the engine speed and the current supply voltage.

[0147] First implementation: The vehicle control device looks up the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current supply voltage from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the engine speed and the current supply voltage; in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current supply voltage is found from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time, the found response delay time is acquired; in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current supply voltage is not found from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time, the vehicle control device looks up the supply voltage closest to the current supply voltage based on the engine speed and the current supply voltage from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time, looks up the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the closest supply voltage from the corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the supply voltage and the response delay time based on the engine speed and the closest supply voltage, and corrects the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the closest supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current supply voltage.

[0148] The vehicle control device corrects the response delay time by adding or subtracting a preset time length from the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage; correspondingly, the step of correcting the engine speed and the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage can be: in the case that the current power supply voltage is greater than the closest power supply voltage, subtracting a first preset time length from the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage; in the case that the current power supply voltage is less than the closest power supply voltage, adding a second preset time length to the response delay time corresponding to the closest power supply voltage to obtain the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0149] The second implementation manner is to determine the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage by using the response delay times corresponding to two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage; correspondingly, in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current power supply voltage is not found from the correspondence between the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the engine speed and the current power supply voltage are used to find the engine speed corresponding to the two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage from the correspondence between the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time, the engine speed and the response delay times corresponding to the two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage are used to find the average of the response delay times corresponding to the two power supply voltages adjacent to the current power supply voltage, and the average is used to determine the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current power supply voltage.

[0150] The third implementation manner is to, in the case that the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current power supply voltage is not found from the correspondence between the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time, fit the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time based on the correspondence between the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time to obtain third relationship data between the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time, and determine the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current power supply voltage based on the engine speed, the current power supply voltage and the third relationship data.

[0151] The third relationship data among the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time is used to represent the corresponding relationship among the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time, and the dependent variable of the third relationship data is the response delay time, and the independent variables are the engine speed and the power supply voltage respectively; the independent variables are set as the engine speed and the current power supply voltage, and the dependent variable determined based on the third relationship data is the response delay time corresponding to the engine speed and the current power supply voltage.

[0152] In step 809, the vehicle control device controls the fuel injector based on the response delay time corresponding to the current power supply voltage.

[0153] In some embodiments, this step is the same as step 209, which will not be repeated here.

[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, since the corresponding relationship among the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time is calibrated in the calibration stage, that is, the response delay time of the fuel injector under different power supply voltages is known in advance under different engine speeds; therefore, when the fuel injector is controlled, the corresponding response delay time can be accurately determined from the corresponding relationship among the engine speed, the power supply voltage and the response delay time based on the engine speed and the current power supply voltage of the fuel injector, thereby improving the accuracy of the determined response delay time, and further improving the control precision of the fuel injector based on the response delay time.
