At present, the optimization of most variable valve systems often focuses on improving specific working conditions or local performance, lacking a method that can fully cover various working conditions and achieve overall performance optimization.

[0022] 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.

[0023] 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.

[0024] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment may 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 electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a variable valve system optimization device, etc. The following takes the variable valve system optimization device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0025] The present application embodiment provides a variable valve system optimization method, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the present application.

[0026] In this embodiment, the variable valve system optimization method includes: Step S10: adjusting the variable valve system to be tested to a preset working condition, and obtaining performance index data of the variable valve system to be tested at a target control angle.

[0027] It should be noted that since the technical problem to be solved in this application is to achieve comprehensive performance optimization of the variable valve system, that is, various possible working conditions need to be tested to see whether they can achieve the corresponding performance requirements under the working conditions, and each working condition contains two levels of factors. On the one hand, it is the performance of the VVT ​​system when external factors are determined, and on the other hand, it is the performance of the VVT ​​system when the control instructions are determined. The throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed belong to the former, and the control instructions specifically refer to the angle at which the VVT ​​system needs to open and close. The performance requirements of the VVT ​​system refer to a series of predetermined performance indicators that the system should achieve under these determined working conditions to ensure that the engine can exhibit optimal performance under various operating conditions.

[0028] It is understood that the VVT ​​system refers to the "Variable Valve Timing" system, which is an engine technology used to optimize the intake and exhaust processes of internal combustion engines. The variable valve system controls the timing of valve opening and closing through electronic signals, thereby improving engine efficiency, power output, fuel economy, and reducing emissions. The main functions of the variable valve system include adjusting the opening and closing time of the intake valve and / or exhaust valve according to the operating state of the engine, and increasing the intake volume by adjusting the valve timing at different engine speeds. The timing of valve opening or closing is relative to the position of the crankshaft angle, that is, by precisely controlling this angle, the engine can achieve optimal performance under different working conditions.

[0029] It should be understood that by monitoring the response of the VVT ​​system to the control command, including the process of the valve changing from the initial position to the target angle, this process contains a series of performance indicators that can characterize the precise control level of the VVT ​​system, such as delay threshold, overshoot angle threshold, steady-state deviation threshold and minimum response control speed. The delay threshold refers to the time interval from the issuance of the control command to the start of the VVT ​​system's response. This indicator measures the response speed of the system, that is, how quickly the system can start to execute the control command. The shorter the delay time, the faster the system responds. The overshoot angle threshold refers to the maximum value that the VVT ​​system may exceed the target angle in the process of reaching the target angle. This indicator reflects the stability and control accuracy of the system during the adjustment process. The smaller the overshoot angle threshold, the smaller the fluctuation in the system adjustment process and the higher the control accuracy. The steady-state deviation threshold refers to the deviation between the actual angle and the target angle when the VVT ​​system reaches the target angle and the system is running stably. This indicator measures whether the system can maintain precise angle control after long-term operation. The smaller the steady-state deviation, the better the stability and accuracy of the system control. The minimum response control speed is the average speed required for the VVT ​​system to move from the 10% position to the 90% position of the target angle. This indicator measures the speed performance of the system during the adjustment process, that is, how quickly the system can change from one angle to another. The higher the minimum response control speed, the faster the system adjustment speed.

[0030] Step S20: obtaining a valve system performance index table according to the performance index data at the target control angle and the preset working condition.

[0031] It should be noted that since the external variables related to the working conditions include the throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed, the actual test is carried out by generating multiple test conditions one by one in a sweeping manner according to a certain step size according to the three external parameters of the variable valve system during operation, and then running the system on the test bench according to the test conditions without changing. After the system is stable, the variable valve system is controlled to execute the target angle instruction. The target angle gradually increases from 0° to 90° in a certain step size, and then falls back to 0°. The difference between the target angle and the actual angle opening and closing execution results after the control instruction is issued is statistically analyzed to obtain the control performance at each target angle. Finally, the data under all working conditions are summarized to obtain the valve system performance index table.

[0032] Step S30: determining the working point to be adjusted according to the valve system performance index table and performance calibration rules.

[0033] It should be noted that the performance calibration rules refer to the performance requirements that the variable valve system must meet under any operating condition. Only when all operating conditions meet this requirement can the variable valve system be considered to have achieved global optimization.

[0034] In one embodiment, determining the working point to be adjusted according to the valve system performance index table and the performance calibration rules includes: determining static performance indicators according to the performance calibration rules, the static performance indicators including a response delay threshold, an overshoot angle threshold and a steady-state deviation threshold; determining dynamic performance indicators according to the performance calibration rules and the engine oil temperature, the dynamic performance indicators including a minimum response control speed; obtaining the working point in the valve system performance index table that does not meet the static performance indicators and the dynamic performance indicators, and using it as the working point to be adjusted.

[0035] Optionally, the performance calibration rule means that for any set valve target opening and closing angle, the actual response delay time of the VVT ​​angle does not exceed 50ms; when VVT regulation overshoots or undershoots occur, the maximum deviation of the overshoot cannot exceed 5% of the VVT ​​maximum rotation angle; when VVT regulation reaches a stable state, the difference between the VVT ​​target angle and the actual angle cannot exceed 2 degrees of crankshaft angle; in addition, since the system response speed is closely related to the engine speed and oil temperature, the system response speed is calculated by dividing the change in the VVT ​​angle from the target angle 10% to 90% by the change time to obtain the average speed. For all speed points with oil temperature below 10 degrees, the response speed is not less than 20° / s, and the response speed is not less than 80° / s above 10 degrees. It should be noted that the system response speed is the only one of the four performance indicators that needs to be combined with external parameters to obtain, and the other three do not require external parameters to intervene.

[0036] It should be understood that the work point to be adjusted refers to those specific working conditions or state points that fail to meet the established performance requirements, identified according to the performance index map and the preset performance calibration rules, during the performance calibration and optimization process of the engine variable valve timing (VVT) system. Since the above performance requirements include four requirements, any one of the requirements that is not met can be regarded as a work point to be adjusted. These work points need to be further adjusted and optimized to ensure that they meet the expected performance standards. In addition, since any work point corresponds to a set of working conditions (external parameters) and execution angles (execution targets), the actual valve system performance index table is at least a two-dimensional data table, and therefore each work point has its corresponding position in the data table, which is determined by a specific combination of working conditions and execution angles.

[0037] Step S40: adjusting the control system parameters of the variable valve system to be tested at the working point to be adjusted until the performance index threshold is reached to complete the performance optimization of the variable valve system to be tested.

[0038] In one embodiment, the control system parameters of the variable valve system to be tested at the working point to be adjusted until the performance index threshold is reached include: determining the target operating condition and the target opening and closing angle according to the working point to be adjusted; operating the variable valve system to be tested according to the target operating condition and the target opening and closing angle, and determining the performance index items that do not meet the performance calibration rules; adjusting the control system parameters at the working point to be adjusted according to the performance index items that do not meet the performance calibration rules, the control system parameters including oil pressure and pulse signal duty cycle; re-operating the adjusted variable valve system according to the target operating condition and the target opening and closing angle to obtain the performance index items, and repeating the above steps until the performance index items reach the performance index threshold.

[0039] It should be noted that the adjustment of control system parameters includes but is not limited to the control logic at the program level such as oil pressure, PWM duty cycle, and timing of electronic control signals set for a certain working point. These parameters directly affect the performance of the variable valve system. Since this process belongs to the debugging process at the digital circuit level, slight disturbances of external factors will cause the debugging content of each working point to be different. The debugging process is result-oriented to a certain extent. Therefore, the actual optimization process only needs to ensure that the control at the current working point can reach the performance index threshold.

[0040] It is understandable that when adjustments are made to a specific work point, there may be a chain reaction or systemic impact on adjacent work points. Therefore, after the adjustment work point has been debugged to meet the standards, preventive measures need to be taken to avoid performance problems that may occur in the future by identifying and verifying adjacent work points in advance.

[0041] In one embodiment, the adjusting of the control system parameters of the variable valve system to be tested at the working point to be adjusted until a performance index threshold is reached also includes: after the working point to be adjusted reaches the performance index threshold, obtaining an adjacent working point of the working point to be adjusted; performing a performance index check on the adjacent working point, and if the adjacent working point does not meet the performance index threshold, adjusting the control system parameters at the adjacent working point to eliminate systematic disturbances.

[0042] It should be understood that such preventive measures can reduce performance fluctuations between operating conditions, ensure a smooth transition from one operating condition to another, and improve the continuity and smoothness of system response.

[0043] The present application obtains performance index data of the variable valve system to be tested at a target control angle by adjusting the variable valve system to be tested to a preset working condition; obtains a valve system performance index table based on the performance index data at the target control angle and the preset working condition; determines a working point to be adjusted based on the valve system performance index table and performance calibration rules; adjusts control system parameters of the variable valve system to be tested at the working point to be adjusted until a performance index threshold is reached, so as to complete the performance optimization of the variable valve system to be tested.

[0044] In summary, the present application uses a systematic approach to perform comprehensive performance calibration and optimization of the variable valve system, which can cover all combinations of external parameters such as throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed in all situations, ensuring fast response, precise control and stable performance under all possible operating conditions, significantly improving the use level of the engine and optimizing the driving experience.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of the second embodiment of the variable valve system optimization method of the present application. Based on the above-mentioned first embodiment, the second embodiment of the variable valve system optimization method of the present application is proposed.

[0046] In this embodiment, the step S10 includes: Step S101: connecting the variable valve system to be tested to a test bench, and setting test parameters so that the variable valve system to be tested operates according to preset working conditions and remains stable.

[0047] It should be noted that the test bench is used to simulate various operating conditions that the actual engine may encounter in the vehicle. On the test bench, parameters including throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed need to be set to match the preset operating requirements.

[0048] Step S102: Control the variable valve system to be tested to open and close at a target control angle, and record the opening and closing angle change curve from when the control instruction is issued to when the variable valve system opens and closes stably.

[0049] It should be noted that the opening and closing angle change curve of the variable valve system refers to the graphical representation of the change of the valve opening and closing angle over time in the variable valve timing (VVT) system, from the time the valve receives the control command to the time when the target opening and closing angle is reached and this angle is maintained stably.

[0050] Step S103: acquiring performance index data of the variable valve system to be tested at a target control angle according to the opening and closing angle variation curve.

[0051] It is understandable that the time from the stationary state to the start of the valve action reflects the response speed of the system, and the time required for the valve to reach the target angle reflects the dynamic response performance of the system. If the valve opening and closing angle exceeds the target angle and then returns, it means that the system has overshoot. The length of time the valve reaches the target angle and remains stable shows the stability and control accuracy of the system. By analyzing this curve, it can be ensured that the valve timing system can provide accurate and stable control throughout the entire working range.

[0052] Furthermore, according to the opening and closing angle change curve, performance indicator data of the variable valve system to be tested under the target control angle are obtained, including: according to the opening and closing angle change curve and the target control angle, the valve delay response time, system response speed, valve overshoot angle and steady-state deviation under the preset working condition and the target control angle are obtained; the valve delay response time, system response speed, valve overshoot angle and steady-state deviation are used as the performance indicator data.

[0053] In this embodiment, the step S20 includes: Step S201: Obtain a performance data matrix according to the performance indicator data, and use the performance data matrix as an index result.

[0054] It should be noted that, since the performance indicator data contains more than one item of data, the multiple items of data are organized into a structured matrix form to represent the performance indicator of the work point, which can facilitate rapid retrieval and comparison of performance under different working conditions.

[0055] Step S202: Determine an operating condition index item according to the preset operating condition.

[0056] It should be noted that the working condition index items are based on the parameters of the preset working conditions, such as throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed, which define the operating state of the engine under specific conditions. Set one or more specific values ​​for each selected parameter, which will be used as working condition index items to identify different test points.

[0057] Step S203: Determine an opening and closing angle index item according to the target control angle.

[0058] It should be noted that the essence of the opening and closing angle is the content of the control instruction. Therefore, the opening and closing angle is different from the operating condition parameters. The opening and closing angle is a command directly issued by the control system, requiring the variable valve system to respond accordingly, while the operating condition parameters such as throttle opening, oil temperature and engine speed are external conditions for the operation of the system, so they need to be treated as a separate index item.

[0059] Step S204: obtaining a valve system performance index table according to the working condition index items, the opening and closing angle index items and the index results.

[0060] It can be understood that by combining the index results in the previous steps with the working condition and angle index items, a complete valve system performance index table containing global working conditions can be formed, providing comprehensive data support for system optimization. This process ensures the systematic and accurate performance evaluation, enabling engineers to effectively identify optimization areas and adjust control system parameters.

[0061] This embodiment provides a variable valve system optimization method. This embodiment first connects the variable valve system to be tested to the test bench, sets the test parameters so that the variable valve system to be tested operates according to the preset working conditions and remains stable; controls the variable valve system to be tested to open and close at the target control angle, and records the opening and closing angle change curve from the time when the control instruction is issued to the time when the variable valve system opens and closes stably; based on the opening and closing angle change curve, obtains the performance index data of the variable valve system to be tested at the target control angle. Based on the performance index data, obtains a performance data matrix, and uses the performance data matrix as an index result; determines the working condition index item based on the preset working condition; determines the opening and closing angle index item based on the target control angle; and obtains a valve system performance index table based on the working condition index item, the opening and closing angle index item, and the index result.

[0062] In summary, through systematic testing and optimization, systemic failures caused by local performance problems are reduced, and the reliability and stability of the engine are enhanced. In addition, the solution helps reduce fuel consumption and emission levels by accurately controlling valve timing, meeting environmental protection requirements. Finally, the solution shortens the engine development cycle and improves market competitiveness by providing comprehensive data support and optimization guidance.
