Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of engine control, and in particular to a method and system for controlling a mixing valve opening request to accelerate the opening. Background Art

[0002] Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) draws exhaust gas from the exhaust system into the intake system. Research has shown that EGR systems offer advantages in improving emissions, reducing fuel consumption, and improving knock resistance. Controlling the mixing valve in low-pressure EGR systems is particularly important for improving EGR efficiency. The dynamics of the mixing valve must be balanced when switching from fully open to partially open, requiring optimization of the mixing valve opening rate to improve control stability.

[0003] Chinese invention patent CN202011247319.6 discloses a method and system for calculating a target EGR rate. This patent calculates the initial target EGR rate based on throttle opening, manifold pressure difference, and minimum ignition angle. This accurately calculates the target EGR rate and introduces EGR control activation conditions to perform a secondary correction on the final target EGR rate. However, this patent does not consider the control accuracy of the mixing valve target opening.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN202110184826.8 discloses a method and system for controlling the target opening of an EGR mixing valve, which can modify the target opening of the mixing valve based on various operating parameters. However, the patent does not consider dynamic closed-loop control of the target opening of the mixing valve.

[0005] In summary, it is urgent to propose a method for accelerating the opening request of the mixing valve to solve the problems of control stability and dynamics in the process. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] The present invention provides a method for controlling a mixing valve opening request to accelerate the opening of the mixing valve, wherein the mixing valve of a vehicle is in a transitional operating state from a partially open state to a fully open state, comprising:

[0009] If the first correction coefficient update condition is met, the first correction coefficient is obtained based on the first characteristic coefficient determined by the throttle full-open time ratio and the intake steam amount difference rate, combined with the second characteristic coefficient determined by the boost pressure difference rate and the engine speed; otherwise, the first correction coefficient is set to 1;

[0010] If the second correction coefficient update condition is met, the second correction coefficient is obtained based on the third characteristic coefficient determined by the target EGR rate and the transient rate of the intake air flow, combined with the fourth characteristic coefficient determined by the EGR rate difference rate and the engine speed; otherwise, the second correction coefficient is set to 1;

[0011] Obtaining a multiplication correction coefficient according to the first correction coefficient, the second correction coefficient, and the learning update coefficient;

[0012] The mixing valve opening change rate is determined according to the multiplication correction coefficient, and the mixing valve is then controlled.

[0013] Furthermore, the first correction coefficient update condition of the present invention includes:

[0014] The throttle full-open time ratio is not less than a certain threshold, and the intake volume difference rate is not less than a certain threshold;

[0015] or the engine speed is not less than a certain threshold, and the boost pressure difference rate is not less than a certain threshold;

[0016] Among them, the throttle full-open time ratio is the ratio of the continuous time that the throttle enters the fully-open state to the maximum time that the throttle is fully open; the intake volume difference rate is the ratio of the difference between the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder and the actual fresh air intake density entering the cylinder to the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder; the boost pressure difference rate is the ratio of the boost pressure difference to the target boost pressure.

[0017] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the first correction coefficient of the present invention includes:

Calibration is performed by adjusting different throttle full-open time ratios and intake air volume difference rates to ensure that the difference between the engine target torque and actual torque during the transition from partially open to fully open mixing valve is controlled within a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time.

[0019] The second characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration. Under the assumption that the throttle valve is not fully open and the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder is less than a certain difference from the actual fresh air intake density entering the cylinder, the second characteristic coefficient is calibrated by adjusting the boost pressure difference rate to ensure that the difference between the target boost pressure and the actual boost pressure does not exceed a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time.

[0030] The fourth characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration. Under the premise of stable target EGR rate and transient rate of intake air flow at various engine speeds, the EGR valve is adjusted to achieve different EGR rate differences for calibration, ensuring the lowest engine fuel consumption point.

[0031] The third characteristic coefficient is multiplied by the fourth characteristic coefficient to obtain a second correction coefficient.

[0032] Furthermore, the third characteristic coefficient and the fourth characteristic coefficient of the present invention are both set with a certain adjustment range.

[0033] Furthermore, in the present invention, when the target EGR rate fluctuation does not exceed a preset value and the intake air flow transient rate fluctuation does not exceed a preset value, the third characteristic coefficient is not updated.

[0034] Furthermore, in the present invention, when the engine speed fluctuation does not exceed a preset value and the target EGR rate fluctuation does not exceed a preset value, the fourth characteristic coefficient is not updated.

[0035] Furthermore, the method for obtaining the multiplication correction coefficient of the present invention includes:

[0036] r1=r11×r12×(1+r A dapt1)

[0037] Among them, r1 is the multiplication correction coefficient, r11 is the first correction coefficient, r12 is the second correction coefficient, r Adapt1 To learn the update coefficient, its default value is 0 and is saved after the vehicle is powered off.

[0038] Furthermore, the update conditions of the learning update coefficient of the present invention are to simultaneously meet the following conditions:

[0042] The absolute value of the engine torque change rate exceeds a preset value;

[0043] The engine mileage corresponding to the learning coefficient not being updated exceeds the preset value.

[0044] Furthermore, the updating method of the learning update coefficient of the present invention includes:

[0045] When the following conditions are met at the same time:

[0046] The difference between the engine target torque and the actual torque exceeds a certain threshold and exceeds a certain continuous time;

[0047] The difference between the target opening of the mixing valve and the actual opening of the mixing valve does not exceed the preset value;

[0048] The difference between the target EGR rate and the actual EGR rate does not exceed the preset value;

[0049] The difference between the target opening change rate of the mixing valve and the actual opening change rate of the mixing valve does not exceed the preset value;

[0050] Then r A dapt1=r A dapt1(z)+0.1, where r A dapt1(z) is the learning update coefficient obtained from the last learning.

[0051] Furthermore, the updating method of the learning update coefficient of the present invention includes:

[0052] When the following conditions are met at the same time:

[0053] The difference between the engine target torque and the actual torque exceeds a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time;

[0057] The difference between the target opening change rate of the mixing valve and the actual opening change rate of the mixing valve exceeds the preset value;

[0058] Then r A dapt1=r A dapt1(z)-0.06, where r A dapt1(z) is the learning update coefficient obtained from the last learning.

[0059] The present invention provides a control system for accelerating the opening of a mixing valve opening request, comprising:

[0060] a memory for storing executable computer programs;

[0061] The processor is configured to implement the aforementioned method for accelerating the opening of the mixing valve opening request when executing the executable computer program stored in the memory.

[0080] In patent CN202110184826.8 "Method for determining the target opening of the mixing valve of the EGR system" and patent CN202110184815.X "Method for determining the activation state of the mixing valve of the low-pressure EGR system", transition control is mentioned in the process of the mixing valve changing from non-fully open (activated state) to fully open (activated), and the transition change of the target opening of the mixing valve is determined.

[0081] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the current mixing valve is in a transitional state from non-fully open to fully open based on the current public technology, and the current mixing valve opening is pct MGVRaw , and the rate of change is dpct MGVRaw .

[0082] The rate at which the mixing valve is accelerated to full opening is determined based on the intake responsiveness requirement (which directly affects the dynamic responsiveness) and is set as the multiplication correction coefficient r1, where the coefficient r1 is not less than 1. The multiplication correction coefficient r1 consists of two parts, namely r1 = r11 × r12 × (1 + r A dapt1). Where:

[0083] If the first correction coefficient update condition is met, the first correction coefficient is obtained based on the first characteristic coefficient determined by the throttle full-open time ratio and the intake steam amount difference rate, combined with the second characteristic coefficient determined by the boost pressure difference rate and the engine speed; otherwise, the first correction coefficient is set to 1;

[0085] Obtaining a multiplication correction coefficient according to the first correction coefficient, the second correction coefficient, and the learning update coefficient;

[0086] The mixing valve opening change rate is determined according to the multiplication correction coefficient, and the mixing valve is then controlled.

[0087] By using the method of the embodiment of the present invention, the target opening rate of the mixing valve can be optimized when the mixing valve is requested to enter the full opening process, so as to further improve the control stability, dynamic performance and other issues in the control process.

[0088] Example 2

[0089] Based on Example 1, this embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a first correction coefficient, which specifically includes:

[0090] First, the embodiment of the present invention needs to determine the first correction coefficient update condition, including:

[0091] The throttle full-open time ratio is not less than a certain threshold, and the intake volume difference rate is not less than a certain threshold;

[0092] or the engine speed is not less than a certain threshold, and the boost pressure difference rate is not less than a certain threshold;

[0093] Among them, the throttle full-open time ratio is the ratio of the continuous time that the throttle enters the fully-open state to the maximum time that the throttle is fully open; the intake volume difference rate is the ratio of the difference between the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder and the actual fresh air intake density entering the cylinder to the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder; the boost pressure difference rate is the ratio of the boost pressure difference to the target boost pressure.

[0094] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining the first correction coefficient r11 is as follows:

[0095] When one of the following conditions is met,

[0096] Full throttle time ratio Not less than 0.05, and the difference rate of air intake Not less than 0.05;

[0097] Or the engine speed is not less than 1000rpm, and the boost pressure difference rate Not less than 0.1.

[0098]

[0099] Otherwise, when none of the above conditions are met, r11=1.

[0100] If the above conditions are met, the next step describes the detailed method of obtaining r11:

[0101] i) Full throttle time ratio t is the continuous time when the throttle valve enters the fully open state ThrWOT The maximum time of throttle valve fully open t ThrWOTMax (This example is calibrated to 0.8s), that is, when the throttle valve enters the fully open state for a continuous time exceeding the maximum fully open time, the mixing valve opening change rate is adjusted to remain unchanged; the intake volume difference rate The target fresh air intake density rho entering the cylinder Dsrd The actual fresh air intake density rho entering the cylinder Act The difference rho Dsrd -rho Act The fresh air intake density rho of the target cylinder Dsrd The ratio.

[0102] Characteristic coefficient Full throttle opening time ratio Difference rate with intake volume Determine the coefficient. The larger the value, the longer the throttle valve needs to be fully open, indicating that the power torque demand is large, and the characteristic coefficient The larger the value, the faster the mixing valve opens, the better the throttling loss of the mixing valve, and the more responsive the power torque demand. When the larger the value, the difference in gas volume response will affect the dynamic response, and the characteristic coefficient The larger it is, the faster it will enter the full opening of the mixing valve, improve the throttling loss of the mixing valve, and respond to the power torque demand;

[0103] The first characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration to stabilize the boost pressure response accuracy at various engine speeds. Calibration is performed by adjusting different throttle full-open time ratios and intake air volume difference rates to ensure that the difference between the engine target torque and actual torque during the transition from partially open to fully open mixing valve is controlled within a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The calibration method is to adjust the throttle full opening time ratio at different engine speeds n under the premise of stable boost pressure response accuracy (the difference between the target boost pressure and the actual boost pressure is within ±2kPa) and and intake volume difference rate Calibration is performed based on ensuring that the difference between the engine target torque and the actual torque is controlled within ±5Nm for no more than 0.5s during the transition from the mixing valve being partially open to being fully open.

[0105] The minimum adjustment coefficient is 1 and the maximum is 1.3. Avoid excessive adjustment that causes the difference between the target EGR rate and the actual EGR rate to exceed the preset value (±0.12 in this example).

[0106] In order to avoid the difference in intake volume Too frequent fluctuations lead to If the adjustment change is too large and the correction coefficient r11 changes too much, resulting in excessive fluctuations in the mixing valve opening control and poor mixing valve control stability, the following treatment should be performed:

[0107] Intake volume difference rate Fluctuation (difference rate of intake volume during this sampling period) Compared with the previous sampling period When the sampling period (10ms in this example) does not exceed the preset value (±0.1 in this example), the correction coefficient No update.

[0108] ii) Characteristic coefficient is the boost pressure difference rate (Boost pressure difference p BoostDsrd -p BoostAct and target boost pressure p BoostDsrd The ratio of the boost pressure difference is the target boost pressure p BoostDsrd and actual boost pressure p BoostAct The difference between the boost pressure and the engine speed n is determined by the coefficient. The larger the value, the worse the boost pressure response. In order to improve the boost pressure response capability, the characteristic coefficient The larger the speed, the faster the mixing valve opens, the better the mixing valve throttling loss, the higher the boost inlet pressure, and the faster the response to the boost pressure response demand; at a lower speed n, the same boost pressure difference rate The boost response capability is poor at low speeds. Based on this, the characteristic coefficient Also bigger.

[0109] The second characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration. Under the assumption that the throttle valve is not fully open and the target fresh air intake density entering the cylinder is less than a certain difference from the actual fresh air intake density entering the cylinder, the second characteristic coefficient is calibrated by adjusting the boost pressure difference rate to ensure that the difference between the target boost pressure and the actual boost pressure does not exceed a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time.

[0110] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The calibration method is to fix the engine speed n at each level, the throttle valve is not fully open, and the target fresh air intake density rho entering the cylinder is Dsrd The actual fresh air intake density rho entering the cylinder Act Under the premise of small (difference between target gas volume and actual gas volume is within ±20mgpl), by adjusting the difference rate of different boost pressures Calibration is carried out based on the principle of ensuring that the difference between the target boost pressure and the actual boost pressure exceeds ±2kPa for no more than 0.3s.

[0111] The minimum adjustment coefficient is 1, and the maximum value is greater than the characteristic coefficient The maximum value is small, and in this example it is 1.15. The purpose is to give priority to the intake air volume responsiveness control over the boost pressure control. The poor boost pressure responsiveness can be adjusted by the boost actuator, and the boost pressure does not directly affect the intake air volume entering the cylinder like the intake air volume, so it does not directly affect the power performance. And if Excessive control will affect the EGR rate response accuracy, so the setting is made based on this.

[0112] To avoid engine speed n and Too frequent fluctuations lead to If the adjustment change is too large and the correction coefficient r11 changes too much, the mixing valve opening control fluctuates too much, resulting in poor mixing valve control stability, thereby affecting the response accuracy of the EGR rate, the following treatment is performed:

[0113] The engine speed fluctuation n (the difference between the engine speed in this sampling period and the engine speed in the previous sampling period, the sampling period in this example is 10ms) does not exceed the preset value (in this example, ±40rpm) and Fluctuation (during this sampling period Compared with the previous sampling period When the sampling period (10ms in this example) does not exceed the preset value (±0.12 in this example), the correction coefficient No update.

[0114] Example 3

[0115] Based on Example 2, this embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining a second correction coefficient, which specifically includes:

[0116] First, the embodiment of the present invention requires a second correction coefficient update condition, including:

[0117] The target EGR rate is not less than a certain threshold, and the intake air flow transient rate is less than a certain threshold;

[0118] or the engine speed is not less than a certain threshold, and its EGR rate difference rate is less than a certain threshold;

[0119] Among them, the intake flow transient rate is the ratio of the intake flow difference to the target intake flow, where the intake flow difference is the difference between the target intake flow and the actual intake flow; the EGR rate difference rate is the ratio of the EGR rate difference to the target boost pressure, where the EGR rate difference is the difference between the target EGR rate and the actual EGR rate.

[0120] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second correction coefficient r12 is determined as follows:

[0121] When one of the following conditions is met,

[0122] Target EGR rate r EGRDsrd Not less than 0.15, and the transient rate of intake flow Less than -0.05;

[0123] Or the engine speed is not less than 1000rpm, and the EGR rate difference rate Less than ±0.015.

[0124]

[0125] Otherwise, when none of the above conditions are met, r12=1.

[0126] If the above conditions are met, the next step describes the detailed method of obtaining r12:

[0127] i) Characteristic coefficient is the target EGR rate r EGRDsrd and the transient rate of intake air flow Determine the coefficient. At the target EGR rate r EGRDsrd The smaller it is, the faster the mixing valve opens, and the characteristic coefficient The larger the value, the faster the mixing valve opens, and the throttling loss of the mixing valve is improved; in the transient rate of intake flow The smaller the value, the greater the transient response of gas flow. In order to respond to the power acceleration demand in time, the characteristic coefficient The larger it is, the faster it will enter the full opening of the mixing valve, improve the throttling loss of the mixing valve, and respond to the power torque demand;

[0128] The third characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration. Under the premise that the EGR rate response accuracy meets the requirements at various engine speeds, calibration is performed by adjusting different target EGR rates and intake air flow transient rates to ensure that the difference between the engine target torque and the actual torque during the transition from partially open to fully open mixing valve is controlled within a certain threshold and does not exceed a certain continuous time.

[0129] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The calibration method is to adjust the target EGR rate r to obtain the correct response accuracy of the EGR rate (the difference between the target EGR rate and the actual EGR rate is within ±0.1) under the premise of fixing the engine speed n. EGRDsrd and intake flow transient rate Calibration is performed based on ensuring that the difference between the engine target torque and the actual torque is controlled within ±5Nm for no more than 0.5s during the transition from the mixing valve being partially open to being fully open.

[0130] The minimum adjustment coefficient is 1 and the maximum is 1.35. Avoid excessive adjustment, which may cause the difference between the target opening of the mixing valve and the actual opening of the mixing valve to exceed the preset value (±1% in this example).

[0131] In order to avoid the target EGR rate r EGRDsrd Fluctuation or transient rate of intake air flow Too frequent fluctuations lead to If the adjustment change is too large and the correction coefficient r12 changes too much, resulting in excessive fluctuations in the mixing valve opening control and poor mixing valve control stability, the following treatment should be performed:

[0132] At the target EGR rate r EGRDsrd Fluctuation (target EGR rate r under this sampling period EGRDsrd Compared with the target EGR rate r in the previous sampling period EGRDsrd The sampling period is 10ms in this example) does not exceed the preset value (±0.1 in this example), and the intake flow transient rate Fluctuation (intake flow transient rate during this sampling period) Compared with the transient rate of intake flow in the previous sampling period When the sampling period (10ms in this example) does not exceed the preset value (±0.1 in this example), No update.

[0133] ii) Characteristic coefficient EGR rate difference rate (EGR rate difference r EGRDsrd -r EGRAct and target boost pressure r EGRDsrd The ratio of EGR rate difference r EGRDsrd -r EGRAct is the target EGR rate r EGRDsrd and the actual EGR rate r EGRAct The coefficient determined by the difference between the EGR rate and the engine speed n. The smaller it is, the better the EGR rate responsiveness is. The larger the value, the faster the mixing valve opens, the better the throttling loss of the mixing valve, the higher the engine charging capacity, and the better the engine charging efficiency. According to different engine speeds n, the same EGR rate difference rate is set. From the perspective of improving the throttling loss of the mixing valve and the engine charging efficiency, the characteristic coefficient is determined to achieve the best charging efficiency.

[0134]

[0135] The fourth characteristic coefficient is obtained through calibration. Under the premise of stable target EGR rate and transient rate of intake air flow at various engine speeds, the EGR valve is adjusted to achieve different EGR rate differences for calibration, ensuring the lowest engine fuel consumption point.

[0136] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The calibration method is to fix the target EGR rate r at each engine speed n. EGRDsrd Stable (target EGR rate fluctuation within ±0.05) and intake air flow transient rate Under the premise of stability (its fluctuation range is ±0.03), different EGR rate differences can be achieved by adjusting the EGR valve Calibration is performed based on ensuring that the engine fuel consumption point is at the lowest level.

[0137] In order to avoid the difference between engine speed n and EGR rate Too frequent fluctuations lead to If the adjustment change is too large and the correction coefficient r11 changes too much, the mixing valve opening control fluctuates too much, resulting in poor mixing valve control stability, thereby affecting the response accuracy of the EGR rate, the following treatment is performed:

[0138] The engine speed fluctuation n (the difference between the engine speed in this sampling period and the engine speed in the previous sampling period, the sampling period in this example is 10ms) does not exceed the preset value (in this example, ±40rpm) and the EGR rate difference rate Fluctuation (during this sampling period Compared with the previous sampling period When the sampling period (10ms in this example) does not exceed the preset value (±0.015 in this example), the correction coefficient No update.

[0139] The above completes the description of the multiplication correction coefficient r1 for accelerating full opening.

[0140] Example 4

[0141] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for determining the learning update coefficient and an update condition based on the embodiment 1-3. Then, in the transition process from the mixing valve being partially open to being fully open, the final mixing valve opening change rate dpct is MGVNew Determined according to r1, such as Figure 3 As shown. Intake flow transient rate The difference between the throttle valve gas mass flow rate and the cylinder gas mass flow rate divided by the throttle valve gas mass flow rate. MGVNew Equal to dpct MGVRaw Multiply by r1.
