[0002] In order to solve the problem of environmental pollution and further reduce the fuel consumption of vehicle internal combustion engines, the industry has proposed the use of hydrogen fuel for engines, namely hydrogen engines. The working principle of a hydrogen engine is to inject hydrogen into the cylinder, mix it with air, and ignite it with a spark plug. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas generated after ignition pushes the piston to generate mechanical energy.

[0003] During the operation of existing hydrogen engines, when hydrogen is sprayed into the cylinder, the pressure it is subjected to decreases, causing the volume of hydrogen to expand, occupying the volume in the cylinder that needs to be reserved for air. The amount of air continues to decrease, and the ratio of air to hydrogen cannot reach the preset ratio, resulting in reduced combustion efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the accuracy of air charge and hydrogen charge in hydrogen engines to improve combustion efficiency is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0066] The technical solution in the present application will be described clearly and in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B: "and / or" in the text is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0067] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as suggesting or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0068] Traditional internal combustion engines use fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel as energy, which produce carbon dioxide (CO) and nitrogen oxides (NO x), particulate matter (PM) and other pollutants, causing serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, a green and environmentally friendly engine-hydrogen engine is proposed. The combustion product of hydrogen engine is mainly water, and almost no harmful emissions are produced, so it is regarded as a cleaner alternative. In addition, with the increasing depletion of oil resources and price fluctuations, it is particularly important to find renewable alternative energy sources. Hydrogen, as a clean energy, can be produced through a variety of ways, such as water electrolysis, biomass energy conversion, etc., which helps to achieve the diversification of energy structure.

[0069] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a cylinder of a hydrogen engine provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown in (a), the cylinder 100 at least includes an intake pipe 101 for sucking air into the cylinder; an intake pipe 102 for spraying hydrogen fuel into the cylinder; an exhaust pipe 103 for exhausting exhaust gas in the cylinder; a piston 104 connected to a crankshaft 106 via a connecting rod 105 for converting linear motion into rotational motion; a connecting rod 105 connecting the piston 104 and the crankshaft 106 for converting the reciprocating linear motion of the piston 104 into the rotational motion of the crankshaft; and a crankshaft 106 for receiving the force from the connecting rod 105 and converting it into rotational motion to output the mechanical energy of the engine.

[0070] The working process of the engine cylinder generally includes an intake stroke, a compression stroke, a combustion stroke and an exhaust stroke. In the intake stroke, the piston 104 moves from Figure 1 The top dead center 109 shown in (b) moves toward the bottom dead center 110, and the intake pipe 101 and the intake pipe 102 are both in an open state, sucking fresh air and hydrogen into the cylinder. The distance between the top dead center 109 and the bottom dead center 110 is the moving stroke of the piston 104; in the compression stroke, the piston 104 moves from the bottom dead center 110 to the top dead center 109, and the intake pipe and the exhaust pipe are both closed. During the rising process of the piston 104, the gas in the cylinder is compressed; in the combustion stroke, the spark plug is used to ignite the high-temperature and high-pressure mixed gas to push the piston 104 downward; in the exhaust stroke, the piston 104 moves from the bottom dead center 110 to the top dead center 109, and the exhaust pipe 103 is opened to push the burned exhaust gas out of the cylinder; after the exhaust is completed, the cylinder is ready to start the next intake stroke, and the cycle repeats. In order to leave space for the combustion of the mixed gas, in the cylinder 100, the area 107 is the effective volume of the cylinder, which is used to accommodate the inhaled air and hydrogen.

[0071] It should be noted that a hydrogen engine may include a single-cylinder engine and a multi-cylinder engine. In the embodiments of the present application, only a single-cylinder engine is used as an example. The methods, devices, etc. provided in the embodiments of the present application are applicable to each cylinder in a hydrogen engine.

[0072] It should be noted that Figure 1The cylinder components shown in the figure are only partial examples. The hydrogen cylinder of the hydrogen engine may also include corresponding components with other functions. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structural structure of the cylinder and other components included therein.

[0073] In the operation of existing hydrogen engines, hydrogen is used as a gas fuel. When hydrogen is sprayed into the cylinder, the volume occupied by hydrogen expands rapidly due to the reduction in pressure, seriously squeezing out part of the volume originally needed to accommodate fresh air. In the subsequent working process, the amount of fresh air inhaled will be reduced, and the amount of fresh air and hydrogen cannot reach a more appropriate combustion ratio, which will lead to reduced combustion efficiency and increased emissions of nitrogen oxides, causing pollution to the environment.

[0074] Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method, a vehicle control device and a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is equipped with a hydrogen engine. The air charging amount that can be charged during the hydrogen charging process is determined according to the air charging period, hydrogen charging period and hydrogen charging amount corresponding to the current working condition of the hydrogen engine. The air charging amount that needs to be charged into the cylinder is determined according to the air charging amount and a preset ratio, so that the air and hydrogen charged into the cylinder can reach a preset ratio, thereby ensuring combustion efficiency and reducing pollutant emissions.

[0075] Figure 2 is a schematic flow chart of a vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the method can be applied to a vehicle equipped with a hydrogen engine.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the method 200 includes:

[0077] S201, obtaining a target volume of a hydrogen engine cylinder, a preset ratio, and an air charging period, a hydrogen charging period, and a first hydrogen charging amount corresponding to a current working condition.

[0078] The target volume is the volume of the hydrogen engine cylinder used to accommodate gaseous fuel, that is, Figure 1 The area 107 shown in (b) in FIG. 1 ; the preset ratio is the ratio between the hydrogen charge and the air charge; the start time of the air charge period is before the start time of the hydrogen charge period.

[0079] In one implementation, different vehicles may be equipped with different models of hydrogen engines, and their configuration parameters, such as cylinder capacity, etc., may be pre-stored in the vehicle system, and the cylinder capacity of the hydrogen engine configured for the current vehicle may be obtained from the vehicle system.

[0080] In one implementation, if the cylinder diameter and piston stroke of a single cylinder are known, the formula: The target volume of the cylinder is calculated. Where D is the cylinder diameter, S is the piston stroke, and π is the circumference of a circle, which is approximately equal to 3.14159.

[0081] In one implementation, the hydrogen filling period for injecting hydrogen into the cylinder may be different under different driving conditions of the vehicle; a hydrogen engine is usually equipped with an electronic control unit (ECU) that can dynamically adjust the hydrogen injection timing according to different engine operating conditions.

[0082] Exemplarily, the vehicle driving conditions may include an idle condition, a low load condition, a low load condition, and a high load condition. Under the idle condition, the engine speed and load are very low, and it is usually chosen to inject hydrogen at the end of the compression stroke to ensure that the hydrogen and the air have enough time to mix. Under low load conditions, the engine speed is low and the load is small, and hydrogen can be injected at the beginning of the compression stroke to improve combustion stability. Under medium load conditions, the engine speed is moderate and the load is moderate, and hydrogen can be injected at the end of the compression stroke to improve combustion efficiency. Under high load conditions, the engine speed is high and the load is large, and more hydrogen needs to be injected at the end of the compression stroke to provide higher power output.

[0083] Optionally, the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period may be represented by time parameters; or may be represented by crankshaft angles relative to the top dead center and the bottom dead center.

[0084] For example, taking the start time of the air charging period as 0, the start time of the hydrogen charging period can be described as 0.005 seconds after the start time of the air charging period, and the end time of the hydrogen charging period can be described as 0.006 seconds after the start time of the air charging period.

[0085] Exemplarily, for a four-stroke engine, each working cycle includes two complete crankshaft rotation cycles, i.e., 720 crankshaft degrees, because each stroke corresponds to half a crankshaft rotation, i.e., 180 crankshaft degrees. The air charging period and the hydrogen charging period can be described by the crankshaft angle relative to the top dead center and the bottom dead center; for example, the air charging period can be described as starting to open at 10 crankshaft angles before the top dead center and continuing until it is completely closed at 50 crankshaft angles after the top dead center. Since the air charging period usually spans the intake stroke and a part of the compression stroke, the total crankshaft angle of the intake valve opening is: 180°+50°-10°=220°; the hydrogen charging period can be described as 10 to 15 crankshaft angles before the top dead center.

[0086] Optionally, the first hydrogen charge represents a mass of hydrogen.

[0087] Exemplarily, the first hydrogen charge is obtained to be 1000 grams.

[0088] Optionally, the judgment method for the current working condition may include monitoring the data of the engine speed sensor, throttle position sensor, accelerator pedal position sensor, air flow sensor, intake manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAPSensor) and vehicle speed sensor. The ECU judges the current working condition by reading the data of the above sensors and combining the preset threshold value and logic algorithm.

[0089] Exemplarily, when the engine speed is in the idle range (such as 600 to 1000RPM), the throttle position is close to closed, and the accelerator pedal is not pressed or is only slightly pressed, the ECU determines it to be an idle condition; when the engine speed is between 1000 and 2000RPM, the throttle opening is small, and the accelerator pedal is lightly pressed, the ECU determines it to be a low-load condition; when the engine speed is between 2000 and 4000RPM, the throttle opening is medium, and the accelerator pedal is pressed to a medium degree, the ECU determines it to be a medium-load condition; when the engine speed is above 4000RPM, the throttle opening is large or fully open, and the accelerator pedal is deeply pressed, the ECU determines it to be a high-load condition.

[0090] Optionally, a correspondence is pre-set between the vehicle driving condition and the air charging period, hydrogen charging period and hydrogen charging amount. According to the correspondence, the air charging period, hydrogen charging period and the first hydrogen charging amount under the current working condition of the vehicle can be determined.

[0091] It should be noted that the values ​​of various parameters provided in the embodiments of the present application can be determined through actual measurement tests or simulation tests, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific values ​​of various parameters and the method of obtaining data.

[0092] S202, determining a first air volume based on the air charging period, the hydrogen charging period and the first hydrogen charging amount; wherein the first air volume is the air volume that is affected by the charging of hydrogen and is not charged into the cylinder.

[0093] After obtaining the air charging stage, hydrogen charging stage and first hydrogen charging amount corresponding to the current working condition, the volume of air charged into the cylinder during the process of charging the first hydrogen charging amount in the hydrogen charging stage can be determined.

[0094] In one implementation, the process of determining the first air volume may include:

[0095] Determining a target state based on the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period; wherein the target state is used to indicate whether there is an overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period;

[0096] determining a second hydrogen charge based on the target state and the first hydrogen charge;

[0097] Based on the second hydrogen charge, a first air volume is determined.

[0098] For example, during the operation of the hydrogen engine, the intake valve is open, and fresh air can be sucked into the cylinder through the intake pipe. The timing of hydrogen injection can be before or after the intake valve is closed. For different hydrogen charging periods, the hydrogen charged into the cylinder has different effects on the amount of air that is originally required to be charged. By determining whether there is an overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, the second hydrogen charge that can be charged in the hydrogen charging period can be determined, and then the first air volume corresponding to the second hydrogen charge can be obtained.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period are combined to determine whether there is overlap between the two periods; according to different target states and the first hydrogen charging amount, the second hydrogen charging amount and the first air volume in the current state are determined. By distinguishing the target state, the accuracy and convenience of determining the second hydrogen charging amount can be improved, so as to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent calculation of the target air charging amount and improve the efficiency of determining the target air charging amount.

[0100] In one implementation, the process of determining the first air volume according to the second hydrogen charge may include:

[0101] Get the current intake air temperature and intake air pressure of the hydrogen engine cylinder;

[0102] A first air volume is determined based on the intake air temperature, the intake air pressure, and the second hydrogen charge.

[0103] The process of determining the first air volume can be shown as Formula 1:

[0104]

[0105] Wherein, V1 is the first air volume; n1 is the mole number of hydrogen, which can be determined according to the second hydrogen charge m2; R is the ideal gas constant, which is approximately 8.314 J / (mol·K); T is the intake temperature; and P is the intake pressure.

[0106] For example, the mass of 1 mol of hydrogen is about 2 grams. If the second hydrogen charge is 1000 grams, the molar number can be determined to be 500 mol.

[0107] In one implementation, it is possible to determine whether the two periods overlap and the extent of the overlap by judging the start time and end time of the air charging period and the start time and end time of the hydrogen charging period.

Among them, EVO indicates the opening time of the exhaust valve; EVC indicates the closing time of the exhaust valve; IVO indicates the opening time of the intake valve, that is, the starting time of the air charging period; IVC indicates the closing time of the intake valve, that is, the ending time of the air charging period; SOI indicates the starting time of the hydrogen charging period, and EOI indicates the ending time of the hydrogen charging period. Figure 3 As shown in (a), when IVC-SOI≤0, it indicates that there is no overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, and the current target state can be determined to be the first state; Figure 3 As shown in (b), when IVC-SOI>0 and IVC-EOI<0, it indicates that the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period partially overlap, and it can be determined that the current target state is the second state; Figure 3 As shown in (c), when IVC-EOI ≥ 0, it indicates that the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period completely overlap, and it can be determined that the current target state is the third state.

[0109] In one implementation, according to different target states, the process of determining the second hydrogen filling amount may include:

[0110] If the target state is the first state, the preset charge amount is determined as the second hydrogen charge amount; wherein the first state is used to indicate that there is no overlap between the air charge period and the hydrogen charge period;

[0111] If the target state is the second state, determining the second hydrogen filling amount based on the air filling period, the hydrogen filling period and the first hydrogen filling amount; wherein the second state is used to indicate that the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period partially overlap;

[0112] If the target state is the third state, the first hydrogen filling amount is determined as the second hydrogen filling amount; wherein the third state is used to indicate that the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period completely overlap.

[0113] Among them, the preset charge amount is 0.

[0114] Exemplarily, when the target state is the first state, there is no overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, and the hydrogen filled into the cylinder will not affect the air charging, and the second hydrogen charging amount is determined to be 0; when the target state is the second state, there is a partial overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, and there is some hydrogen that affects the air charging, and the second hydrogen charging amount can be determined based on the air charging period, the hydrogen charging period and the first hydrogen charging amount; when the target state is the third state, the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period completely overlap, and all the hydrogen filled into the cylinder will affect the air charging, and the second hydrogen charging amount can be determined to be the first hydrogen charging amount.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present application, the second hydrogen charge is determined in different ways for different target states; if it is the first state, the preset charge is determined as the second hydrogen charge; if it is the second state, the second hydrogen charge is determined in combination with the air charging period, the hydrogen charging period and the first hydrogen charge; if it is the third state, the first hydrogen charge is determined as the second hydrogen charge; the flexibility of determining the second hydrogen charge is improved, thereby improving the efficiency of determining the target air charge.

[0116] In one implementation, when the target state is the second state, the process of determining the second hydrogen filling amount may include:

[0117] determining a first ratio based on the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period;

[0118] Based on the first ratio and the first hydrogen charge, a second hydrogen charge is determined.

[0119] Exemplarily, the start time of the air charging period is IVO; the end time of the air charging period is IVC; the start time of the hydrogen charging period is SOI; and the end time of the hydrogen charging period is EIO. The process of determining the first ratio can be shown in Formula 2:

[0120]

[0121] Then, the second hydrogen filling amount can be determined according to Formula 3:

[0122] n2=K×m1;(Formula 3)

[0123] Among them, m2 is the second hydrogen filling amount, and m1 is the first hydrogen filling amount.

[0124] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of a second hydrogen filling amount calculation process provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, when IVC-SOI≤0, the target state is the first state, and the second hydrogen charge m2 is determined to be 0; when IVC-SOI>0 and IVC-EOI<0, IVC-SOI and EOI-SOI are first calculated, and then the first ratio between the two is calculated, and the first ratio is multiplied by the first hydrogen charge m1 to obtain the second hydrogen charge m2; when IVC-EOI≥0, the target state is the third state, and the second hydrogen charge m2 can be determined to be the first hydrogen charge m1.

[0125] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target state is the second state, the hydrogen charge has a partial effect on the air; a first ratio is calculated based on the air charge period and the hydrogen charge period; the first ratio is multiplied by the first hydrogen charge to obtain the second hydrogen charge; through this calculation method, the air charge of the overlapping part can be accurately calculated, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the target air charge.

[0126] S203 : Determine a target air charge based on the first air volume, the target capacity, and a preset ratio.

[0127] Exemplarily, after determining the first air volume that can be charged during the hydrogen charging period, the target air charge that actually needs to be charged into the cylinder can be determined by combining the first air volume, the effective volume of the cylinder, and a preset ratio.

[0128] In one implementation, the target air charge determination process may include:

[0129] determining a second air volume based on the first air volume and the target volume;

[0130] determining a first air charge based on the second air volume;

[0131] A target air charge is determined based on the first air charge, the first hydrogen charge, and a preset ratio.

[0132] Exemplarily, the target volume is the effective volume of the cylinder of the hydrogen engine for accommodating the charged gas. By subtracting the target volume from the first air volume, the second air volume that can originally be filled into the cylinder can be obtained; the second air volume is converted into the first air charge, and then combined with the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio, the target air charge that actually needs to be filled into the cylinder can be calculated.

[0133] In one implementation, the determination process of the first air charge may be as shown in Formula 4 and Formula 5:

[0134] V2=VO-V1; (Formula 4)

[0135]

[0136] Among them, V2 is the second air volume; V0 is the target volume; V1 is the first air volume; n2 is the number of moles of air; P is the intake pressure; R is the ideal gas constant, which is approximately 8.314 J / (mol·K); and T is the intake temperature.

[0137] After the number of moles of air is determined, the air mass corresponding to the number of moles, ie, the first air charge, may be calculated.

[0138] For example, since air is a mixed gas, the correspondence between its molar number and mass requires determining the average amount of multiple gases. Air is mainly composed of nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and other gases. The average molar mass of the above gases can be calculated to determine the correspondence between the molar number and the air mass. The mass of 1 mol of air is calculated to be approximately 28.97 grams; after determining n2, multiplying it by 28.97 grams can obtain the first air charge.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, firstly, the second air volume that can be filled into the cylinder is determined according to the target volume that the cylinder can accommodate and the first air volume; the second air volume is converted into the first air charge; and then the target air charge is determined according to the first air charge, the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio. This ensures that the ratio between the target air charge and the first hydrogen charge can reach the preset ratio, so as to improve the reaction efficiency between hydrogen and air, and thus improve the combustion efficiency of the engine.

[0140] In one implementation, based on the first air charge, the first hydrogen charge, and the preset ratio, a process of determining a target air charge may include:

[0141] determining a second ratio between the first air charge and the first hydrogen charge;

[0142] If the second ratio is different from the preset ratio, a target air charge is determined based on the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio.

[0143] Exemplarily, the preset ratio can be set to a ratio of 10:1 between the air charge and the hydrogen charge, and the target ratio is determined based on the calculated first air charge and the first hydrogen charge; if the target ratio reaches 10:1, or is slightly different from the preset ratio, the first air charge and the first hydrogen charge can be directly determined as the target air charge and the target hydrogen charge; if the target ratio reaches 10:1, or is significantly different from the preset ratio, the required target air charge is further determined based on the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio to ensure the combustion efficiency of the engine fuel.

[0144] In the embodiment of the present application, a second ratio between the first air charge and the first hydrogen charge is determined; if the second ratio is different from the preset ratio, indicating that it needs to be adjusted, the target air charge is determined based on the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio. The accuracy of determining the target air charge is improved; only when the second ratio is different from the preset ratio, the target air charge is re-determined, thereby improving the effectiveness of determining the target air charge.

[0145] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of a calculation process of a first air charge provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5As shown, the second hydrogen charge m2 is multiplied by the ideal gas constant R, divided by the intake temperature T and the intake pressure P, to obtain the first air volume V1; the first air volume V1 is subtracted from the target volume V0 to obtain the second air volume V2; and then the second air volume V2 is multiplied by the intake pressure P, divided by the ideal gas constant R and the intake temperature T, to obtain the first air charge m3.

[0146] S204: Control the hydrogen engine based on the target air charge and the first hydrogen charge.

[0147] After determining the target air charge according to the preset first hydrogen charge, air charge period and hydrogen charge period, the hydrogen engine is controlled in combination with the target air charge and the first hydrogen charge.

[0148] Since there are three target states between the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period, the hydrogen engine is controlled in different ways for different target states. In one implementation, when the target state is the second state or the third state, the process of controlling the hydrogen engine may include:

[0149] If the target state is the second state or the third state, a target pressure value is determined based on the target air charge; wherein the target pressure value is used to indicate a pressure value required to input the target air charge into the hydrogen engine;

[0150] The hydrogen engine is controlled to charge a target air charge into the cylinder at a target pressure value, and to charge a first hydrogen charge into the cylinder.

[0151] For example, when there is an overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, the hydrogen charging will always affect the determination of the air charging. Therefore, the initial first hydrogen charging cannot be changed, and only the determined target air charging can be filled into the cylinder. In this case, the intake pressure of the hydrogen engine needs to be adjusted. Since the target air charging is greater than the air charging that can originally be filled into the cylinder, the intake pressure needs to be increased.

[0152] Optionally, a corresponding relationship between a target air charge and a target pressure value may be preset, and after the target air charge is determined, the current pressure value is directly adjusted to the target pressure value so that the target air charge can be charged into the cylinder.

[0153] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target state is the second state or the third state, the target pressure value is determined according to the target air charge, so that the hydrogen engine can charge the air of the target air charge into the cylinder at the target pressure value, and charge the hydrogen of the first hydrogen charge into the cylinder, so that the ratio between the target air charge and the first hydrogen charge reaches a preset ratio, thereby improving the reaction efficiency between hydrogen and air, and thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the engine.

[0154] In one implementation, when the target state is the first state, the process of controlling the hydrogen engine may include:

[0155] If the target state is the first state, determining a target hydrogen charge based on the target air charge and a preset ratio;

[0156] The hydrogen engine is controlled to charge a target air charge amount of air into the cylinder and to charge a target hydrogen charge amount of hydrogen into the cylinder.

[0157] Exemplarily, when the target state is the first state, the hydrogen charge will not affect the calculation of the air charge, so the hydrogen charge can be adjusted so that the ratio between the air charge and the hydrogen charge reaches a preset ratio.

[0158] For example, if the preset ratio is 10:1, and the calculated ratio between the target air charge and the first hydrogen charge is 9:1, during the control process, the target air charge can be further increased to achieve a ratio of 10:1; or, the target hydrogen charge can be obtained by reducing the first hydrogen charge to achieve a ratio of 9:0.9, which can also achieve the preset ratio of 10:1.

[0159] In an embodiment of the present application, when the target state is the first state, the first hydrogen charge is adjusted according to the target air charge and the preset ratio to obtain the target hydrogen charge; the hydrogen engine is controlled to charge the target air charge into the cylinder, and the hydrogen of the target hydrogen charge into the cylinder, so that the ratio between the target air charge and the target hydrogen charge can reach the preset ratio, thereby improving the reaction efficiency between hydrogen and air, and thereby improving the combustion efficiency of the engine.

[0160] In one implementation, in the process of controlling the hydrogen engine according to the target air charge, the current air charge that has been filled in the cylinder is obtained. If the current air charge does not reach the target air charge, the target intake pressure is further determined based on the difference between the current air charge and the target air charge. By adjusting the intake pressure to the target intake pressure, the difference in air charge can be filled into the cylinder after the start time of the hydrogen charging period.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the air charging period, hydrogen charging period and first hydrogen charging amount corresponding to the current working condition of the vehicle are obtained, and they are analyzed to determine the air volume filled in the process of filling the first hydrogen charging amount of hydrogen in the hydrogen charging period, that is, the first air volume; according to the first air volume and the target volume of the cylinder and the preset ratio, the target air charging amount that needs to be filled into the cylinder during the actual control process is determined; and according to the target air charging amount and the first hydrogen charging amount, the hydrogen engine is controlled. Combined with the current working condition of the vehicle, the volume of the engine cylinder and the preset ratio, the air charging amount and hydrogen charging amount that need to be filled into the cylinder are determined to ensure that the air charging amount and the hydrogen charging amount match the current working condition, and improve the accuracy of the air charging amount and the hydrogen charging amount; the ratio between the air charging amount and the hydrogen charging amount can also reach the preset ratio, which can ensure the combustion efficiency of the gas fuel and reduce the emission of pollutants.

[0162] Figure 6 is a schematic flow chart of another vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. It should be understood that the method can be applied to a vehicle equipped with a hydrogen engine.

[0163] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the method 600 includes:

[0164] S601, obtaining a target volume of a hydrogen engine cylinder, a preset ratio, and an air charging period, a hydrogen charging period, and a first hydrogen charging amount corresponding to a current working condition.

[0165] The target volume is the volume of the hydrogen engine cylinder used to accommodate gaseous fuel, that is, Figure 1 The preset ratio is the ratio between the hydrogen charge and the air charge; the start time of the air charge period is before the start time of the hydrogen charge period.

[0166] Exemplarily, the current operating condition is determined through data uploaded by multiple vehicle-mounted sensors; based on the correspondence between the preset operating condition and various parameters, the air filling period, hydrogen filling period and first hydrogen filling amount of the hydrogen engine are determined.

[0167] Optionally, the implementation of S601 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S201 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0168] S602, determining a target state based on the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period.

[0169] The target state is used to indicate whether there is overlap between the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period. The air filling period may include a start time and an end time; the hydrogen filling period also includes a start time and an end time.

[0170] Exemplarily, after obtaining the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period of the current working condition, by comparing the relationship between the start time and the end time of the two periods, it is determined whether the two periods overlap and the degree of overlap.

[0171] Optionally, the implementation of S602 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S202 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0172] S603: If the target state is the first state, the preset filling amount is determined as the second hydrogen filling amount.

[0173] The first state is used to indicate that there is no overlap between the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period, and the preset filling amount is 0.

[0174] Exemplarily, when there is no overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, the hydrogen charging amount will not affect the air charging amount, and the second hydrogen charging amount is determined to be zero.

[0176] S604: If the target state is the second state, determine a first ratio based on the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period.

[0177] The second state is used to indicate that the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period partially overlap.

[0178] Exemplarily, when there is a partial overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period, the second hydrogen charging amount needs to be determined according to the air charging period, the hydrogen charging period and the first hydrogen charging amount. First, a first ratio between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period is calculated.

[0179] Optionally, the implementation of S604 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S203 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0180] S605 , determining a second hydrogen filling amount based on the first ratio and the first hydrogen filling amount.

[0181] Exemplarily, by multiplying the first ratio by the first hydrogen filling amount, the amount of air filled during the hydrogen filling time, ie, the second hydrogen filling amount, can be determined.

[0182] Optionally, the implementation of S605 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S202 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0183] S606: If the target state is the third state, the first hydrogen filling amount is determined as the second hydrogen filling amount.

[0184] The third state is used to indicate that the air filling period and the hydrogen filling period completely overlap.

[0185] Exemplarily, when the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period completely overlap, it is expected that the first hydrogen charge charged into the cylinder will have an impact on the air charging, and therefore, the second hydrogen charge is determined to be the first hydrogen charge.

[0186] Optionally, the implementation of S606 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S202 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0187] S607 , determining a first air volume based on the second hydrogen charge.

[0188] Exemplarily, after determining the second hydrogen charge, the air charge is converted to the first air volume using an ideal gas equation.

[0189] Optionally, the implementation of S607 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S202 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0190] S608 : Determine a second air volume based on the first air volume and the target volume.

[0191] Exemplarily, the target volume is the effective volume in the cylinder, and the second air volume, ie, the air volume that can actually be filled into the cylinder, can be obtained by subtracting the first air volume from the target volume.

[0192] Optionally, the implementation of S608 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S203 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0193] S609 , determining a first air charge based on the second air volume.

[0194] Exemplarily, since the volume occupied by the gas varies with environmental factors and cannot be quantitatively evaluated, after the second air volume is determined, it is converted into the first air charge according to the ideal gas equation.

[0195] Optionally, the implementation of S609 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S203 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0196] S610 , determining a second ratio between the first air charge and the first hydrogen charge.

[0197] Exemplarily, after determining the first air charge, a second ratio between the first air charge and the first hydrogen charge is calculated.

[0198] Optionally, the implementation of S610 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S203 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0199] S611: If the second ratio is different from the preset ratio, determine a target air charge based on the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio.

[0200] Exemplarily, it is determined whether the second ratio reaches a preset ratio; if the second ratio is different from the preset ratio, the corresponding target air charge is determined based on the difference between the second ratio and the preset ratio and the first hydrogen charge, so that the second ratio can reach the preset ratio and improve the combustion efficiency of the fuel.

[0201] Optionally, when the second ratio is the same as the preset ratio, the first air charge is determined as the target air charge.

[0202] Optionally, a certain error value is set. When the error value between the second ratio and the preset ratio is large, the target air charge is determined based on the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio; when the error between the two is small, the first air charge is determined as the target air charge.

[0203] Optionally, the implementation of S611 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S203 in the present application embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0204] S612: If the target state is the second state or the third state, determine a target pressure value based on the target air charge.

[0205] The target pressure value is used to indicate the pressure value required to input the target air charge into the hydrogen engine.

[0206] Exemplarily, when the target state is the second state or the third state, if the hydrogen charge changes, it will have an additional impact on the calculation of the target air charge, resulting in a mismatch between the hydrogen charge and the air charge; therefore, when the two time periods overlap, keeping the first hydrogen charge unchanged requires filling the cylinder with air of the target air charge, but due to the influence of hydrogen, at the current intake pressure, the air charge that can enter the cylinder is small, so the intake pressure of the cylinder needs to be adjusted; that is, the corresponding target pressure value is determined according to the target air charge.

[0207] Optionally, the implementation of S612 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S204 in the present application embodiment is not repeated here.

[0212] Exemplarily, when the target state is the first state, the hydrogen charge will not affect the calculation of the target air charge, so the hydrogen charge can be changed so that the ratio between the air charge and the hydrogen charge reaches a preset ratio.

[0213] Optionally, when the first hydrogen charge remains unchanged, the target air charge may be adjusted so that the ratio between the air charge and the hydrogen charge reaches a preset ratio.

[0214] Optionally, the implementation of S614 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S204 in the present application embodiment is not repeated here.

[0217] Optionally, the implementation of S615 can refer to Figure 2 The relevant description of S204 in the present application embodiment is not repeated here.

[0218] In the embodiment of the present application, first determine whether there is overlap between the air charging period and the hydrogen charging period corresponding to the current working condition; determine the second hydrogen charge for different states; then convert the second hydrogen charge into the first air volume, subtract it from the target volume of the cylinder, and obtain the second air volume that can actually be accommodated in the cylinder; compare the ratio between the converted first air charge and the first hydrogen charge with the preset ratio to determine whether it needs to be adjusted; if the two ratios are different, further combine the first hydrogen charge and the preset ratio to determine the target air charge and control the hydrogen engine.
