[0049] In this embodiment, a vehicle starter control method running on an electronic device is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a vehicle starter control method according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S10, generating a start control signal in response to the received starter start request, wherein the start control signal is used to instruct the starter of the vehicle to start;

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the starter start request can be understood as a request to trigger the start system of the vehicle so that the vehicle or device starts running. Exemplarily, the starter start request can be generated by the driver touching a one-button start switch in the vehicle, which is not limited here.

[0052] The starter start in the vehicle can be understood as the process of starting the car engine. For example, the starter is an important part of the car starting system. Its main function is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, thereby driving the engine crankshaft to rotate and making the engine enter the working state from a stationary state, which is not limited here.

[0053] The start control signal can be understood as a signal used to control the start of a vehicle or device. For example, the vehicle controller can determine whether the starter is allowed to start, and if it is allowed, a start control signal is generated. The start control signal can be an electrical signal, a wireless signal, or a signal in other forms, which is not limited here.

[0054] In response to the received starter start request, a start control signal is generated. It can be understood that when the starter start request is received, the system will generate a start control signal to start the machine. Exemplarily, the start control signal may include turning on the corresponding power switch, sending a start command, etc., to ensure that the vehicle can start normally and start working, which is not limited here.

[0055] The start control signal is used to instruct the vehicle's starter to start, and it can be understood that the start control signal is a signal used to indicate when the vehicle's starter should start. For example, the start control signal may come from the vehicle's start button or key turning operations, and once the start control signal is received, the vehicle's starter will start working, which is not limited here.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, when a starter start request is received, the system generates a control signal to start the starter of the vehicle, thereby allowing the engine of the vehicle to operate normally.

[0057] Step S11, controlling the starter to rotate based on the starter control signal, and recording at least one rotation duration of the starter, wherein the rotation duration is used to indicate the duration from when the starter starts to rotate to when it stops rotating;

[0058] In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotation of the starter can be understood as the rotation of the internal motor of the starter. For example, the rotation of the automobile starter is driven by an electric motor, which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, thereby driving the crankshaft of the engine to rotate, thereby starting the engine to run, which is not limited here.

[0059] At least once can be understood as the number of times the starter rotates. For example, if the starter fails to start, it continues to start until a preset number of starts or a preset duration is reached, and then feedback is given to the driver; the driver may continue to execute a one-button start to generate a starter start request, and then the above operations are repeated, which is not limited here.

[0060] The starter motor is controlled to rotate based on the starter control signal, and the rotation duration of the starter is recorded at least once. The rotation duration is used to indicate the time from the starter motor starting to stopping. It can be understood that after the starter receives the start control signal, the motor inside the starter rotates and drives the engine to start. If the engine fails to start, it means that the starter fails to start. During this process, the rotation duration of the starter motor is counted as one starting duration, and the rotation duration of the starter is recorded at least once.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the starter receives the start control signal, the starter is controlled to start rotating based on the starter control signal, and the duration from the start rotation to the stop rotation of the starter is counted at least once, and recorded as the rotation duration of the starter. By recording the rotation duration of the starter at least once, a basis can be provided for equipment operation data analysis.

[0062] Step S12: Controlling the working state of the starter based on at least one rotation duration of the starter.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present invention, controlling the working state of the starter based on at least one rotation duration of the starter can be understood as controlling the working state of the starter based on the recorded rotation durations of the starter for multiple times. Exemplarily, the working state of the starter can include a normal working state or a stopped working state, which is not limited here.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the working state of the starter is controlled to be in a normal working state or a stopped working state according to the recorded multiple rotation durations of the starter, thereby effectively extending the service life of the starter, reducing energy consumption, reducing the risk of failure during equipment operation, and improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0065] When a starter start request is received, the system will generate a control signal to start the vehicle's starter, so that the vehicle's engine can operate normally. When the starter receives the start control signal, the motor inside the starter rotates and drives the engine to start. If the engine fails to start, it means that the starter has failed to start. During this process, the length of time the starter motor rotates is counted as one start time. Recording at least one starter rotation time can provide a basis for equipment operation data analysis. Based on the recorded multiple rotation times of the starter, the starter's working state is then controlled to be in a normal working state or a stopped working state, which can effectively extend the service life of the starter, reduce energy consumption, reduce the risk of failure during equipment operation, and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0066] Through the above steps, a start control signal is generated in response to a received start request of the starter, wherein the start control signal is used to instruct the starter of the vehicle to start; the rotation of the starter is controlled based on the starter control signal, and the rotation duration of at least one starter is recorded, wherein the rotation duration is used to indicate the time duration from the start of rotation to the stop of rotation of the starter; the working state of the starter is controlled based on the rotation duration of at least one starter, so as to achieve the purpose of fully cooling the starter that is started frequently, thereby realizing the technical effect of protecting the starter and reducing the failure rate of the whole vehicle, and further solving the technical problem in the related technology that the starter is overheated or even damaged due to frequent starting of the vehicle.

[0067] Optionally, in step S11, before controlling the starter to rotate based on the starter control signal, the following execution steps may be included:

[0068] Step S111, obtaining the ambient temperature outside the vehicle and the state of the preheating indicator light of the vehicle, wherein the state of the preheating indicator light is used to indicate whether the preheating indicator light is in a lit state;

[0069] Step S112, in response to the ambient temperature being lower than the temperature threshold and the preheating indicator light being on, determining the engine preheating time based on the ambient temperature and a preset table;

[0070] Step S113: preheat the engine based on the engine preheating time, and control the starter to stop working when the engine is in the preheating state.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature can be understood as the current outdoor atmospheric temperature. For example, the current ambient temperature can be displayed on a vehicle dashboard or a central control screen, which is not limited here.

[0072] The preheat indicator light state can be understood as the preheat indicator light information. Exemplarily, the preheat indicator light state can be a lighted state or an unlighted state, which is not limited here.

[0073] The temperature threshold can be understood as being used to compare with the current outdoor atmospheric temperature to determine whether the vehicle is in an extremely cold area. For example, if the atmospheric temperature is lower than the temperature threshold, it means that the vehicle is in an extremely cold area, which is not limited here.

[0074] Obtaining the ambient temperature outside the vehicle and the status of the vehicle's preheating indicator light can be understood as obtaining the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle and comparing it with the temperature threshold to determine whether the vehicle is in an extremely cold area and whether the engine needs to be preheated, that is, whether the preheating indicator light needs to be on.

[0075] In response to the ambient temperature being lower than the temperature threshold and the preheat indicator light being on, the engine preheat time is determined based on the ambient temperature and the preset table. It can be understood that when the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle is lower than the temperature threshold, that is, the vehicle is in an extremely cold area and the engine needs to be preheated, the preheat indicator light will be on. Then, the engine preheat time can be obtained by looking up the table based on the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle in combination with the engine calibration. Exemplarily, the preset time can be set to Td, which is not limited here.

[0076] Preheating the engine based on the engine preheating time and controlling the starter to stop working when the engine is in the preheating state can be understood as preheating the engine for a period of time according to the obtained preheating time, and during the engine preheating process, prohibiting the starter from working normally.

[0077] In an embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle and comparing it with the temperature threshold, it is determined whether the vehicle is in an extremely cold area and whether the engine needs to be preheated, that is, whether the preheating indicator light needs to be on. When the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle is lower than the temperature threshold, that is, the vehicle is in an extremely cold area and the engine needs to be preheated, the preheating indicator light will be on. Thereafter, the engine preheating time is determined based on the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle and a preset table. The engine is preheated for a period of time according to the obtained preheating time, and during the engine preheating process, the starter is prohibited from operating normally. In a low temperature environment, the impact on the engine when it is started will increase, accelerating the wear of components. Preheating can reduce the wear of the engine when it is started and extend the service life of the engine.

[0078] Optionally, in step S113, the following execution steps are also included:

[0079] Step S1131, reporting the engine preheating time and a first prompt message to the vehicle's dashboard, wherein the first prompt message is used to prompt that the starter stops working when the engine is in a preheating state.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present invention, reporting the engine preheating time and the first prompt message to the dashboard of the vehicle can be understood as the vehicle controller sending the engine preheating time and the prompt message to the dashboard to remind the driver of the current state of the vehicle.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle controller sends the engine preheating time and the starter being in a stopped working state to the instrument, thereby reminding the driver of the current state of the vehicle to avoid causing panic to the driver.

[0082] Optionally, in step S11, controlling the starter to rotate based on the starter control signal and recording at least one rotation duration of the starter may include the following execution steps:

[0083] Step S114, in response to the vehicle controller of the vehicle being in a powered-on state, controlling the starter to rotate based on the starter control signal;

[0084] Step S115, obtaining at least one rotation duration of the starter, and storing the at least one rotation duration of the starter into a first initial array;

[0085] Step S116: Update the first initial array to obtain a first target array.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power-on state can be understood as the vehicle controller has been powered on and is in a working state, and can start to control and manage various functions and systems of the vehicle.

[0087] The first initial array can be understood as first creating an empty array, and then adding the multiple rotation durations of the starter to the empty array to obtain the first initial array.

[0088] The first target array can be understood as a new array obtained by deleting or adding the rotation duration of the starter in the first initial array.

[0089] In response to the vehicle's vehicle controller being powered on, the starter is controlled to rotate based on the starter control signal. It can be understood that when the vehicle's vehicle controller is normally powered on and is in a working state, the vehicle controller will send a signal to the starter controller to instruct the starter to start running, thereby putting the engine in a normal working state.

[0090] Acquiring at least one rotation duration of the starter and storing the at least one rotation duration of the starter in the first initial array can be understood as acquiring multiple starter operation time lengths during starting and storing the time lengths in the first initial array.

[0091] Updating the first initial array to obtain the first target array can be understood as performing a modification or update operation on the first initial array to obtain a new array, which is called the first target array.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle controller of the vehicle is normally powered on and in working state, the vehicle controller will send a signal to the starter controller to instruct the starter to start running, so that the engine is in normal working state. The length of time the starter runs at startup is obtained multiple times, and the length of time is stored in the first initial array. The first initial array is modified or updated to obtain a new array, which is called the first target array. By recording and analyzing the length of time the starter runs, problems can be discovered and repaired in time, reducing the possibility of failures and improving the working efficiency and reliability of the vehicle.

[0093] Optionally, in step S114, the following execution steps are also included:

[0094] Step S1141, obtaining the starter stop rotation time corresponding to any rotation duration, and storing the stop rotation time in the second initial array;

[0095] Step S1142, obtaining the power-off time after the rotation stops, and storing the power-off time in the third initial array.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second initial array can be understood as first creating an empty array, and then adding the starter stop rotation moment corresponding to any rotation duration to the empty array to obtain the second initial array.

[0097] The third initial array can be understood as first creating an empty array, and then adding the power-off time after the rotation stop time to the empty array to obtain the third initial array.

[0098] The moment when the starter stops rotating corresponding to any rotation duration can be understood as the moment when at least one start of the starter ends.

[0099] The power-off time after the rotation stops can be understood as the time when the vehicle controller is powered off after at least one starter start is completed.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present invention, the moment when the starter motor ends corresponding to any rotation duration is obtained, and the moment when the starter motor ends is stored in the second initial array. The moment when the vehicle controller is powered off after each starter motor ends is obtained, and the power-off moment is stored in the third initial array. By storing the moment when the starter motor stops rotating and the moment when the vehicle controller is powered off in the specified array respectively, data support is provided for the subsequent strategy of protecting the starter motor.

[0107] The first time and can be understood as the result obtained by adding up all the power-off times in the third initial array.

[0108] The first time result can be understood as the result obtained by adding the starting durations of all starters to all corresponding power-off times. For example, the first time result can be expressed as T1, which is not limited here.

[0109] The first time threshold can be understood as a value used to determine whether the first initial array needs to be updated. Exemplarily, the first time threshold can be expressed as Ta, which is not limited here.

[0110] In response to the first time result being greater than the first time threshold, the rotation duration corresponding to the first time result is removed from the first initial array to obtain a first target array. It can be understood that if the update condition of the first target array is met, the rotation duration that meets the condition is removed from the first initial array to obtain an updated first target array. Exemplarily, if T1>Ta, the rotation duration corresponding to the first time result is removed from the first initial array to obtain an updated first target array, which is not limited here.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first time difference between the current moment and any stop rotation moment in the second initial array is first determined, and the sum of the power-off moments after any stop rotation moment is determined in the third initial array to obtain the first time, and then the first time difference is added to the first time to obtain the first time result, and finally it is determined whether the first time result is greater than the first time threshold. If this update condition is met, the rotation duration corresponding to the first time result is removed from the first initial array to obtain the first target array. By updating the first initial array to obtain the first target array, the working state of the current starter can be more accurately determined, so that the protection strategy can be more effectively used to protect the starter.

[0112] Optionally, in step S11424, the following execution steps are also included:

[0113] Step S114241, in response to the first time result being greater than the first time threshold, removing the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result from the second initial array to obtain a second target array;

[0114] Step S114242: remove any power-off moment before the moment of stopping rotation corresponding to the first time result from the third initial array to obtain a third target array.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present invention, in response to the first time result being greater than the first time threshold, the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the second initial array to obtain a second target array. Exemplarily, it can be understood that if T1>Ta is satisfied, the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the second initial array to obtain an updated second target array, which is not limited here.

[0116] Any power-off moment before the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the third initial array to obtain a third target array. Exemplarily, it can be understood that if T1>Ta is satisfied, any power-off moment of the vehicle controller before the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the third initial array to obtain an updated third target array, which is not limited here.

[0117] In the embodiment of the present invention, if the first time result is greater than the first time threshold, the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the second initial array to obtain an updated second target array, and any power-off moment before the stop rotation moment corresponding to the first time result is removed from the third initial array to obtain an updated third target array. By updating the data in the array, more accurate data support can be provided for subsequent judgment of whether the starter needs to activate the protection strategy, thereby reducing the failure rate of the entire vehicle.

[0118] Optionally, in step S114242, the following execution steps are also included:

[0119] Step S1142421, in response to the vehicle controller of the vehicle being in a power-off state, recording a first moment when the vehicle controller is powered off and a second moment when the vehicle controller is powered on after any moment of stopping rotation, wherein the second moment is later than the first moment;

[0120] Step S1142422, determining the power-off duration based on the first moment and the second moment, and storing the power-off duration in a fourth initial array, wherein the power-off duration in the fourth initial array corresponds one-to-one to the rotation duration in the first initial array;

[0121] Step S1142423, in response to a second time difference between the current moment and any first moment in the fourth initial array being greater than a second time threshold, removing the power-off duration corresponding to the second time difference from the fourth initial array to obtain a fourth target array;

[0122] Step S1142424: Update the first target array based on the eliminated power-off duration.

[0123] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power-off state can be understood as the vehicle controller being in a state where the power is not connected.

[0124] The first moment can be understood as the moment when the vehicle controller is powered off after the starter stops rotating.

[0125] The second moment can be understood as the moment when the vehicle controller is powered on again after being powered off, and the second moment is later than the first moment.

[0126] The second time difference can be understood as the duration of power outage of the vehicle controller up to the current moment.

[0127] The power-off time can be understood as the time the vehicle controller is not powered on.

[0128] The fourth initial array can be understood as a new array obtained by first creating an empty array and then storing at least one time duration of the vehicle controller being in a power-off state in the empty array.

[0129] The second time threshold can be understood as a value for determining whether the fourth initial array needs to be updated. Exemplarily, the second time threshold can be expressed as Ta, where the second time threshold Ta can be consistent with or inconsistent with the first time threshold Ta, which is not limited here.

[0130] Updating the first target array based on the eliminated power-off duration can be understood as that as of the current moment, if the power-off duration of the vehicle controller is greater than the second time threshold, the power-off duration corresponding to the second time difference will be eliminated from the fourth initial array, and the corresponding starter rotation duration in the original first target array will be eliminated based on the eliminated power-off duration to obtain an updated first target array.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present invention, if the vehicle controller of the vehicle is in a state where the power is not connected, the first moment when the vehicle controller is not powered on and the second moment when the vehicle controller is powered on after any moment of stopping rotation are recorded, and the second moment is later than the first moment. The duration of the vehicle controller being in the state where the power is not connected is determined based on the first moment and the second moment, and the power-off duration of the vehicle controller is stored in the fourth initial array, and the power-off duration in the fourth initial array corresponds to the rotation duration in the first initial array one by one. If the second time difference between the current moment and any first moment in the fourth initial array is greater than the second time threshold, the power-off duration corresponding to the second time difference is removed from the fourth initial array to obtain a fourth target array, and the corresponding starter rotation duration in the original first target array is removed based on the removed power-off duration to obtain an updated first target array. By updating the first target array, the starter can be protected in time according to the starting protection strategy to reduce the vehicle failure rate.

[0132] Optionally, in step S1142424, controlling the working state of the starter based on at least one rotation duration of the starter may include the following execution steps:

[0133] Step S11424241, add the rotation durations in the first target array to obtain the target rotation duration;

[0134] Step S11424242: in response to the target rotation duration being greater than the third time threshold, controlling the starter to stop working within a preset time period, and reporting a second prompt message to the vehicle's dashboard, wherein the second prompt message is used to prompt the starter to stop working within the preset time period.

[0135] In the embodiment of the present invention, the target rotation duration may be understood as a result obtained by adding up the rotation durations of all starters recorded in the first target array.

[0136] The third time threshold may be understood as a value for determining whether the starter needs to stop working within a preset time period. For example, the third time threshold may be Tb, which is not limited here.

[0137] The preset time period can be understood as the time period for controlling the starter to stop working. Exemplarily, the preset time period can be set to Tc, and Tc can be 120 seconds, which is not limited here.

[0138] The second prompt information can be understood as information to remind the driver that the current vehicle is in a prohibited start state, and the second prompt information will be displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle.

[0139] In response to the target rotation time being greater than the third time threshold, the starter is controlled to stop working within a preset time period. It can be understood that when the sum of all the starter rotation times recorded in the first target array is greater than the preset third time threshold, the starter is controlled to be prohibited from starting within the preset time period. For example, if the target rotation time is greater than Tb, the starter is controlled to be prohibited from starting within 120 seconds, which is not limited here.

[0140] In the embodiment of the present invention, the rotation time lengths of all starters recorded in the first target array are added to obtain the target rotation time length. When the sum of the rotation time lengths of all starters recorded in the first target array is greater than the preset third time threshold, the starter is controlled to be prohibited from starting within the preset time period, and the information that the starter is prohibited from starting within the preset time period is sent to the instrument panel of the vehicle. By calculating the data recorded in the obtained first target array and controlling the starter to be prohibited from starting within the preset time period, the starter can be effectively protected and the damage of the starter due to frequent starting of the starter can be avoided.

[0141] Optionally, in step S10, the following execution steps are also included:

[0142] Step S101 : generating a starter start request in response to a touch operation on a starter start switch of a vehicle.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present invention, when the driver touches a one-touch start switch in the vehicle, a starter start request may be generated.

[0144] Optionally, in step S10, the following execution steps are also included:

[0145] Step S102, obtaining the vehicle status of the vehicle;

[0146] Step S103: In response to the vehicle state satisfying a preset starting condition, a starting control signal is generated.

[0147] In the embodiment of the present invention, obtaining the vehicle status of the vehicle can be understood as determining whether the vehicle is currently in an extremely cold area by obtaining the current ambient temperature displayed on the dashboard of the vehicle, which is not limited here.

[0148] The preset starting condition can be understood as determining whether the current state of the vehicle satisfies the preset condition for the starter to start working normally. For example, the preset starting condition may include whether the vehicle's system and internal equipment are in a normal state, etc. The vehicle controller determines whether the vehicle currently allows the starter to start, which is not limited here.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle state is obtained, and if the vehicle state meets the preset starting condition, a starting control signal is generated to control the starter to start. By obtaining the vehicle state and judging whether the current vehicle state meets the preset starting condition, the safety of the vehicle and the driver can be ensured.

[0150] In order to protect the starter, the frequently started starter can be fully cooled to protect the starter and reduce the failure rate of the whole vehicle. After the vehicle controller is powered off, the controller stops working and cannot record time. The conventional starter protection strategy will only work when the controller is powered on. If the driver frequently powers on and off to restart the vehicle, the conventional starter protection strategy will fail. In addition, in the case of the engine failing to start in extremely cold weather, the starting protection strategy should be avoided to avoid triggering and causing panic to the driver. Therefore, the present invention proposes a novel control method for continuous starting protection of the starter of a commercial vehicle.

[0151] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: In order to protect the continuous starting of the starter, a strategy is formulated that if the starter is started for a period of time Tc within a continuous period of time Ta, if the cumulative start exceeds a period of time Tb, the start needs to be prohibited, wherein Ta, Tb, and Tc are calibration quantities and can be modified according to needs. The vehicle controller described in the article calculates whether to prohibit starting according to the controller power-on signal T15 signal, the starter start control signal, the data packet message, the diagnostic communication message, and the application information block message signal received by the vehicle.

[0152] The present invention calculates the time under three conditions: extremely cold working conditions, when the vehicle controller is normally powered on, and when the vehicle controller is powered off. This ensures the accuracy of time calculation, better protects the starter, reduces the failure rate, and reminds the driver under extremely cold working conditions, and better prevents the driver from frequently starting the vehicle without knowing it, causing unnecessary panic. The specific implementation of the present invention is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0153] Figure 2 is a start-up flow chart of a start-up system according to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, refer to Figure 2 The starting process of the starting system of the present invention is described. The starting system of the present invention is composed of a one-button starting switch controller, a vehicle controller, a starting relay, and a starter.

[0154] Step S21: During the vehicle starting process, the one-button start switch controller first receives the driver's starting demand information and generates a starting control signal for controlling the starter to start;

[0155] Step S22, when the vehicle controller receives the start control signal, it records the start duration of each start of the starter according to the vehicle state, that is, after the starter receives the start control signal, the motor inside the starter rotates and drives the engine to start. If the engine is not started, it means that the starter fails to start, and if the engine is started, it means that the starter is started successfully. The rotation time of the starter motor in this process is counted as one start duration;

[0156] Step S23, judging whether the vehicle controller prohibits the starter from starting, that is, the strategy of prohibiting the starter from starting is: if the starter is started for a period of time Ta, if the cumulative number of starts exceeds a period of time Tb, the strategy of prohibiting the starter from starting for a period of time Tc is required;

[0157] Step S24: When the starter is prohibited from starting, the starting control signal is turned off, and the instrument displays the prohibition starting time Tc;

[0158] Step S25: When the starter starting prohibition condition is not triggered, the starter relay is controlled to receive the vehicle controller starting control signal so that the starter relay is energized;

[0159] Step S26: When the starter relay is energized successfully, it means that the starter motor is started successfully.

[0160] Figure 3 is a logic block diagram of a starter protection strategy according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 As shown, refer to Figure 3 The specific control process of the starting protection strategy when the vehicle is started in the present invention is described.

[0161] Step S31, during the vehicle starting process, the start control signal T15 is obtained, i.e., an electrical signal generated after the driver starts the vehicle with one key. After the start control signal u8_StStartRe l ay, i.e., the start control signal T15, reaches the vehicle controller, the vehicle controller determines whether the vehicle currently allows the starter to start. If the start is allowed, the starter start control signal will be generated. The time information, i.e., the current time, can be obtained by receiving the data packet message sent by the vehicle communication device, the preheat indicator light information can be obtained by receiving the diagnostic communication message sent by the engine electronic control unit, and the atmospheric temperature and other information, i.e., the atmospheric temperature outside the vehicle, can be obtained by receiving the application information block message sent by the engine electronic control unit;

[0162] Step S32, determine whether the vehicle is in an extremely cold area, that is, determine whether the atmospheric temperature is lower than the temperature threshold. If the vehicle is in an extremely cold area, the engine is determined to need preheating before starting, that is, determine whether the preheating indicator light needs to be on. If the vehicle is in an extremely cold area and preheating is required, then execute step S33; if the vehicle is not in an extremely cold area, that is, preheating is not required, then execute step S35;

[0163] Step S33: The diagnostic communication message and the application information block message sent by the engine electronic control unit are parsed by the vehicle controller to obtain the intake preheating indicator light-up request and the atmospheric temperature information. When the vehicle controller receives the intake preheating indicator light-up request, the engine preheating time can be obtained according to the atmospheric temperature and the engine calibration table.

[0164] Step S34, the vehicle controller sends the preheating time obtained by looking up the table to the instrument and prohibits starting until the preheating time is over and sends it to the instrument to remind the driver;

[0165] Step S35: When the vehicle is not in an extremely cold area, which means that the engine does not need to be preheated, it is necessary to determine whether the vehicle controller is powered off, and formulate different strategies under two conditions: when the vehicle controller is powered on and powered off;

[0166] Step S36, when the vehicle controller is in the power-on condition, that is, when the vehicle controller is working, the difference between the current time and the start time records the time required for each start T11, T12, T13... and records the start end time T21, T22, T23... The start end time and the start interval time are stored in an array respectively. The current time is T, and each time the program runs, the current time T is subtracted from the start end time and the sum of the power-off time. If the difference is greater than Ta, the corresponding start time in the array is cleared;

[0167] Step S37, when the vehicle controller is in the power-on and power-off condition, when the vehicle controller is powered on, the difference between the current time and the start time records the time required for each start T11, T12, T13... and records the start end time T21, T22, T23.... If the vehicle controller is powered on and then powered off, that is, when the vehicle controller is powered off, the vehicle controller power-off time of the data packet message is recorded, and the power-on time is recorded after the vehicle controller is powered on next time. The difference between the two times can be obtained to obtain the power-off time Ti 11, Ti 12, Ti 13... The power-off time is stored in the array. If the difference between the current time and the power-off time of the vehicle controller is greater than Ta, the corresponding power-off time in the array is cleared;

[0168] Step S38, after the time calculation of the two methods of step S36 and step S37, all the values ​​T11, T12, T13, ... of each start time in the array are added together to obtain T1, and it is determined whether T1 is greater than a preset time threshold Tb;

[0169] Step S39: When the sum T1 added in step S38 is greater than the preset time threshold Tb, the starter protection strategy is activated. In order to protect the starter, the start prohibition time is set to Tc;

[0170] Step S310: When the start protection strategy is activated, a countdown of the start prohibition time is sent to the instrument to remind the driver, thereby avoiding unnecessary panic.

[0171] In order to protect the starter and reduce the vehicle failure rate when the driver frequently starts the vehicle when a vehicle failure occurs, a starting protection strategy is designed. The present invention introduces the engine preheating state into the starting protection strategy in extremely cold weather, adds a reminder function for the driver when the engine is not easy to start, and sends the prohibited start time to the instrument for display when the starting protection is triggered to remind the driver. The starting protection strategy introduces the calculation and judgment of the start prohibition time under the two working conditions of the vehicle controller being powered off and powered on, so that the time calculation is more accurate, preventing the conventional starter protection strategy from failing, and can protect the starter more effectively. The present invention is not only applicable to models equipped with a vehicle controller, but also the engine electronic control unit that is not equipped with a vehicle controller can also integrate the strategy. At the same time, the present invention is also applicable to all models that are not equipped with a one-button start switch that matches an ordinary key start.
