[0002] The engine lubrication system is designed to ensure that the oil pressure of each oil-using component and each oil circuit of the engine meets the design requirements under various extreme working conditions. If the oil pressure is too high, it will cause oil leakage in the oil filter and other locations. If the oil pressure is too low, it will cause damage to the main bearing and other oil-using components, and eventually cause damage to the engine. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the engine lubrication system, an oil pressure alarm system is generally set up.

[0003] The existing technical solution generally installs an oil pressure sensor in the main oil channel of the engine. The pressure sensor can measure the oil pressure of the main oil channel. When the measured oil pressure exceeds the specified threshold, it is determined that an oil pressure fault has occurred. However, when the oil circuit behind the oil pressure sensor fails (for example, when the VVT ​​at the end of the oil circuit, the high-pressure oil pump, the camshaft oil circuit, etc. is blocked or leaking), the oil pressure sensor may not be able to feedback the oil circuit fault and will not issue an oil pressure alarm, which may cause engine damage.

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] The main solution of the embodiment of the present application is: to obtain the real-time oil pressure and target oil pressure of the engine lubrication system; to determine whether the oil pressure difference between the real-time oil pressure and the target oil pressure exceeds the preset alarm threshold; when the oil pressure difference exceeds the preset alarm threshold, to determine whether the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, and when the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, to control the electric control valve to open and close; to collect the real-time oil pressure when the electric control valve is opening and closing, and to issue an oil pressure alarm when the difference in real-time oil pressure before and after the opening and closing of the electric control valve does not exceed the preset oil pressure threshold.

[0050] In the prior art, when the oil circuit behind the oil pressure sensor fails (for example, the VVT ​​at the end of the oil circuit, the high-pressure oil pump, the camshaft oil circuit, etc. is blocked or leaking), the oil pressure sensor may not be able to feedback the oil circuit failure and will not issue an oil pressure alarm, which may cause engine damage.

[0051] The present application provides a solution, which preliminarily diagnoses the engine oil pressure through the real-time oil pressure and target oil pressure of the engine lubrication system, and controls it through the electronically controlled valve set at the end of the oil circuit to determine that the fault is indeed caused by the abnormal oil pressure of the engine lubrication system, thereby eliminating the over-protection caused by the inability of the pressure sensor to accurately reflect the fault at the rear end of the oil circuit, and improving the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0052] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an oil pressure alarm diagnostic device that can realize the above functions, etc. The following takes the oil pressure alarm diagnostic device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0053] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an oil pressure alarm diagnosis method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method of the present application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the oil pressure alarm diagnosis method includes steps S10 to S40:

[0055] Step S10: Acquire the real-time oil pressure and target oil pressure of the engine lubrication system.

[0056] It should be noted that the real-time oil pressure may be the oil pressure of the main oil channel collected in real time by the pressure sensor in the engine lubrication system, and the target oil pressure may be the preset oil pressure that the engine lubrication system should be at to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle under the current operating conditions.

[0057] It should be understood that the engine lubrication system includes the engine oil system and oil-using components such as main bearings, connecting rod bearings, piston cooling jets (PCJ), chain tensioners, variable valve timing systems (VVT), camshafts, high-pressure oil pumps, and vacuum pumps. According to the simulation calculation of the lubrication system, the PCJ flow rate accounts for about 30% of the total flow rate of the lubrication system. For the PCJ controlled by the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve is used to control whether to open the PCJ oil spray cooling piston. When the PCJ is suddenly opened, the flow demand of the engine lubrication system suddenly increases sharply, which will cause the main oil channel oil pressure to drop suddenly. The engine VVT ​​angle adjustment change is to provide a certain oil pressure through the engine oil pump to promote the VVT ​​actuator to change the angle. When the engine oil pressure is low, it will not be able to promote the change of the VVT ​​angle. The oil pressure sensor is arranged in the main oil channel of the engine lubrication system. When the oil pressure sensor detects that the oil pressure exceeds the design threshold, it is determined that the oil pressure fails. At this time, the engine control module (ECU) will send an oil pressure alarm signal to the instrument, and the instrument will issue an abnormal oil pressure alarm after receiving the oil pressure alarm signal.

[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 It is a structural schematic diagram of an engine lubrication system in the prior art; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the engine lubrication system in the first embodiment of the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method of the present application.

[0059] It should be noted that the oil pressure sensor is generally arranged in the main oil channel of the engine. The oil pressure sensor measures the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine to control the displacement of the variable displacement oil pump to control the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine. The measured oil pressure value is also used to determine whether the oil pressure is abnormal, and then determine whether an oil pressure alarm is required or the engine is shut down. Since the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine needs to be controlled to the target pressure, the oil pressure sensor is generally arranged in the main oil channel of the engine. However, when the oil circuit behind the oil pressure sensor fails (for example, when the VVT ​​at the end of the oil circuit, the high-pressure oil pump, the camshaft oil circuit, etc. is blocked or leaking), the oil pressure sensor may not be able to feedback the oil circuit failure, and will not issue an oil pressure alarm, which may cause engine damage.

[0060] It should be understood that this design can open the oil circuit at the end of the engine oil circuit and arrange an electronically controlled valve at the end. The electronically controlled valve can controllably open and close the oil circuit channel to return the oil in the oil circuit to the engine oil pan. When the engine is working under certain conditions (i.e., a certain oil temperature, engine speed, engine load), if the engine uses a variable displacement oil pump, a corresponding target oil pressure will be set for each operating point of the engine. The ECU will control the displacement of the variable displacement oil pump to make the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine reach the target oil pressure.

[0061] Furthermore, under the default condition of normal vehicle driving, the electronically controlled valves are kept in a closed state and do not participate in the passage of the oil in the oil circuit back to the engine oil pan. Only when a blockage may occur in the oil circuit, the valve opening strategy is implemented according to the setting.

[0062] Step S20: determining whether the oil pressure difference between the real-time oil pressure and the target oil pressure exceeds a preset alarm threshold.

[0063] It should be noted that the oil pressure difference may be the absolute value obtained by subtracting the target oil pressure from the real-time oil pressure, and the preset alarm threshold may be a pre-set parameter value for preliminarily judging an oil pressure failure. When the oil pressure difference exceeds the preset alarm threshold, it is preliminarily judged that there is a risk of an oil pressure failure, and when the oil pressure difference is lower than or equal to the preset alarm threshold, it is judged that no oil pressure failure has occurred.

[0064] It should be understood that the lower limit oil pressure alarm value and the upper limit oil pressure alarm value of the engine lubrication system can also be set. For example, the lower limit oil pressure can be set to 50kPa, and the upper limit oil pressure can be set to 1200kPa. The specific settings can be adjusted according to the hardware structure of the vehicle and are not specifically limited here. Among them, the lower limit of the oil pressure can be the minimum pressure requirement to ensure the normal lubrication function of the engine when the engine is running (the VVT ​​angle cannot be adjusted normally when the oil pressure is lower than the lower limit), and the upper limit of the oil pressure can be the maximum pressure resistance of the lubrication system. When the oil pressure exceeds the upper limit, the oil filter and other lubrication system seals will leak oil.

[0065] Step S30: When the oil pressure difference exceeds the preset alarm threshold, determining whether the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure.

[0066] It should be noted that when the oil pressure difference exceeds the preset alarm threshold, it is preliminarily judged that there is a risk of oil pressure failure. At this time, it can be judged whether the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure by judging the positive or negative value of the oil pressure difference. According to the judgment of high and low conditions, the fault can be divided into: If the target oil pressure is greater than the real-time oil pressure, it means that the engine lubrication system may have a leakage fault at this time, and the real-time oil pressure cannot be increased to the target oil pressure. If the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, it means that the engine lubrication system may have a blockage fault at this time, and the real-time oil pressure cannot be reduced to the target oil pressure.

[0067] Step S40: When the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, the electronically controlled valve is controlled to open and close.

[0068] It should be noted that the electronically controlled valve can control the opening and closing of the oil circuit. After the electronically controlled valve is opened, the oil in the oil circuit can return to the engine oil pan, thereby causing the real-time oil pressure to drop. Correspondingly, when the electronically controlled valve is in the closed state, the oil cannot return to the engine oil pan through the electronically controlled valve channel at the end of the oil circuit.

[0069] Step S50: collecting the real-time oil pressure when the electronically controlled valve is opening and closing, and issuing an oil pressure alarm when the difference between the real-time oil pressure before and after the electronically controlled valve is opened and closed does not exceed a preset oil pressure threshold.

[0070] It should be understood that since the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, it means that the engine lubrication system may be unable to relieve pressure or the engine oil channel may be blocked. At this time, the electronically controlled valve at the end of the engine oil circuit can be controlled to open and close, and the change in the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine can be detected. When the electronically controlled valve at the end of the oil circuit is opened and closed, and the oil pressure in the main oil channel does not change (or is less than the threshold), it means that the engine oil circuit is blocked. At this time, the oil pressure alarm is directly issued, and the engine is controlled to shut down. If the change in the real-time oil pressure of the engine lubrication system is greater than or equal to the threshold, it means that the engine oil channel is not blocked. At this time, the PCJ is forced to open to reduce the engine oil pressure, and the electronically controlled valve at the end of the oil circuit is controlled to open so that the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine is less than the upper limit oil pressure. The driver is notified of the engine lubrication system failure through the indicator light or the prompt sound, but it does not affect the continued driving of the vehicle.

[0071] In this embodiment, the real-time oil pressure and target oil pressure of the engine lubrication system are obtained; it is determined whether the oil pressure difference between the real-time oil pressure and the target oil pressure exceeds the preset alarm threshold; when the oil pressure difference exceeds the preset alarm threshold, it is determined whether the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure; when the real-time oil pressure is greater than the target oil pressure, the electric control valve is controlled to open and close; the real-time oil pressure when the electric control valve is opened and closed is collected, and when the difference in the real-time oil pressure before and after the electric control valve is opened and closed does not exceed the preset oil pressure threshold, an oil pressure alarm is issued. The real-time oil pressure and target oil pressure of the engine lubrication system are used to preliminarily diagnose the engine oil pressure, and at the same time, the electric control valve set at the end of the oil circuit is used to control the fault to determine that the fault is indeed caused by the abnormal oil pressure of the engine lubrication system, thereby eliminating the over-protection caused by the inability of the pressure sensor to accurately reflect the fault at the rear end of the oil circuit, and improving the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0072] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 4 , Figure 4 The flowchart of the second embodiment of the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method of the present application is provided. In step S30, the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method includes:

[0073] Step S401: When the real-time oil pressure is less than the target oil pressure, the real-time oil pressure is compared with a preset lower limit oil pressure.

[0074] It should be noted that the preset lower limit oil pressure can be the oil pressure that is the minimum pressure required to ensure the normal lubrication function of the engine when the engine is running (when the oil pressure is lower than the lower limit, the VVT ​​angle cannot be adjusted normally). For example, it can be set to 50KPa. If the real-time oil pressure is lower than the lower limit oil pressure, it means that the pressure of the engine lubrication system is too low at this time. When the real-time oil pressure is greater than the preset lower limit oil pressure, it means that the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine cannot reach the target oil pressure by adjusting the displacement of the oil pump. It may be due to a failure of the oil pump that causes the oil pump to replenish the oil supply, or there may be a leak in the engine lubrication system.

[0075] Step S402: When the real-time oil pressure is less than the preset lower limit oil pressure, controlling the change of the VVT ​​angle at the end of the engine oil circuit.

[0076] It should be noted that since the real-time oil pressure is lower than the preset lower limit oil pressure, the engine lubrication system pressure collected by the pressure sensor is too low. It is necessary to specifically determine whether it is caused by leakage in the engine lubrication system or by an incorrect measurement value of the pressure sensor.

[0077] Step S403: Acquire the actual angle and target angle of the VVT.

[0078] It should be noted that the VVT ​​angle change at the end of the engine oil circuit can be controlled and the actual VVT angle can be measured. When the actual VVT angle and the target angle match well, it means that the actual oil pressure can meet the engine function requirements. In fact, the oil pressure sensor measurement value is wrong, that is, the oil pressure sensor is abnormal.

[0079] It should be understood that after determining that the oil pressure sensor is abnormal, the abnormal fault of the oil pressure sensor can be reminded by means of an indicator light or a prompt sound, and the engine torque can be limited.

[0080] Step S404: when the difference between the actual angle and the target angle exceeds a preset angle threshold, an oil pressure alarm is issued.

[0081] It should be noted that if the VVT ​​angle cannot be adjusted normally, it means that the oil pressure is indeed lower than the lower limit oil pressure, and the oil pressure alarm is directly issued through the indicator light or prompt sound, and the engine is controlled to shut down. If the difference between the actual VVT angle and the target angle does not exceed the preset angle threshold, it means that the oil pressure sensor collects distorted values, and a sensor abnormality fault alarm is issued.

[0082] In specific implementation, when the actual oil pressure is lower than the target oil pressure, it may be that the actual oil pressure is low or there is a leak. You can judge whether the oil pressure is really low by keeping the electronic control valve closed and comparing the VVT ​​angle with the target angle. If the difference between the actual VVT angle and the target angle exceeds the preset angle threshold, it means that it is indeed low (the sensor pressure value is credible). You can increase the actual oil pressure by closing the PCJ to reduce the oil flow. If the actual oil pressure returns to a level that exceeds the preset lower limit, you can continue driving. If it is still lower than the preset lower limit, the car will stop and alarm.

[0083] In this embodiment, when the real-time oil pressure is less than the target oil pressure, the real-time oil pressure is compared with the preset lower limit oil pressure; when the real-time oil pressure is less than the preset lower limit oil pressure, the VVT ​​angle change at the end of the engine oil circuit is controlled; the actual angle and target angle of the VVT ​​are obtained; when the difference between the actual angle and the target angle does not exceed the preset angle threshold, an abnormal alarm of the oil pressure sensor is issued, and when the real-time oil pressure is greater than the preset lower limit oil pressure, the PCJ solenoid valve is controlled to close and the engine is controlled to run at medium and low loads; and when the real-time oil pressure re-collected after the PCJ solenoid valve is closed does not exceed the preset oil pressure threshold, no oil pressure alarm is issued. The leakage condition of the engine lubrication system can be accurately judged, and the over-protection condition can be avoided by controlling the electronically controlled valve and the engine to improve the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0084] Based on the first embodiment and / or the second embodiment of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those of the above-mentioned first and second embodiments can refer to the above introduction, and will not be repeated later. Figure 5 , Figure 5 A flow chart of the third embodiment of the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method of the present application is provided.

[0085] After step S40, the oil pressure alarm diagnosis method includes:

[0086] Step S501: collecting the real-time oil pressure when the electronically controlled valve is opening and closing, and when the difference between the real-time oil pressure before and after the electronically controlled valve is opened and closed exceeds a preset oil pressure threshold, no oil pressure alarm is issued.

[0087] Step S502: Control the PCJ solenoid valve to open and control the opening of the electronically controlled valve until the real-time oil pressure does not exceed the preset upper limit oil pressure.

[0088] It should be noted that the preset upper limit oil pressure can be the maximum pressure resistance of the engine lubrication system. When the oil pressure exceeds the preset upper limit oil pressure, the oil filter and other lubrication system seals will leak oil. For example, it can be set to 1200KPa. If the real-time oil pressure exceeds the preset upper limit oil pressure, it means that the oil pressure of the engine lubrication system is too high.

[0089] It should be understood that when the electronic control valve at the end of the oil circuit opens and closes, if the oil pressure change in the main oil channel (i.e., the difference in real-time oil pressure before and after the above-mentioned electronic control valve is opened and closed) is greater than or equal to the preset oil pressure threshold, it means that the engine oil channel is not blocked. At this time, the PCJ is forced to open to reduce the engine oil pressure, and the opening of the electronic control valve at the end of the oil circuit is controlled to make the oil pressure in the main oil channel of the engine less than the preset upper limit oil pressure. At the same time, the driver is notified of a failure in the engine lubrication system, but it does not affect the continued driving of the vehicle, and the driver is reminded to inspect the vehicle.

[0090] In this embodiment, by collecting the real-time oil pressure when the electronically controlled valve is opening and closing, when the difference between the real-time oil pressure before and after the electronically controlled valve is opened and closed exceeds the preset oil pressure threshold, the oil pressure alarm is not issued. The PCJ solenoid valve is controlled to open and the electronically controlled valve opening is controlled until the real-time oil pressure does not exceed the preset upper limit oil pressure. This further improves the accuracy of the blockage judgment in the engine lubrication system diagnosis results, and at the same time can avoid the over-protection condition to improve the driving experience of the vehicle.

[0091] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the oil pressure alarm diagnostic method of the present application. More simple transformations based on this technical concept are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0092] This application also provides an oil pressure alarm diagnostic device, please refer to Figure 6 , the oil pressure alarm diagnostic device comprises:
