[0050] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an air suspension fault diagnosis method.

[0053] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of an air suspension fault diagnosis method in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the air suspension fault diagnosis method includes the following steps:

[0055] S1. During the process of the air pump inflating the target object, monitor the change of the first target parameter, wherein the first target parameter at least includes the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the target object are located.

[0056] Specifically, in the air suspension system, the air pump does not work when the air tank has sufficient air. If the air spring needs to be inflated, the valve of the air tank and the valve of the air spring are opened to connect the air line between the air tank and the air spring, thereby inflating the air spring through the air tank.

[0057] The air pump works when the air volume in the air tank is insufficient, and the inflated object may be the air spring or the air tank. If the air spring needs to be inflated, start the air pump, open the valve of the air pump and the valve of the air spring, so that the air pipeline between the air pump and the air spring is connected, and the air pump is used to inflate the air spring. If the air spring does not need to be inflated, start the air pump, open the valve of the air pump and the valve of the air tank, so that the air pipeline between the air pump and the air tank is connected, and the air pump is used to inflate the air tank.

[0058] During the process of the air pump inflating the target object, if there is no abnormality, the first target parameter will show an expected change.

[0059] For example, when the air pump is inflating the air spring, the pressure of the air line where the air pump and the air spring are located will increase, and the height of the air spring will also increase.

[0060] For example, during the process of the air pump charging the air tank, the pressure of the air line where the air pump and the air tank are located will increase.

[0061] When the first target parameter shows an unexpected change, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the process of the air pump inflating the target object. However, under different abnormal reasons, the first target parameter may show the same change, resulting in the inability to accurately diagnose the cause of the inflation abnormality based on the change of the first target parameter.

[0062] For example, during the process of the air pump inflating the air spring, when the air pump and its power supply line are disconnected, the air pump does not supply high-pressure air to the air pipe between the air pump and the air spring. This may result in no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipe where the air pump and the air spring are located, and no obvious change in the height of the air spring for a period of time. When the air spring or its air pipe leaks, the high-pressure air that the air pump has supplied to the air pipe between the air pump and the air spring leaks. This may also result in no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipe where the air pump and the air spring are located, and no obvious change in the height of the air spring for a period of time.

[0063] For example, when the air pump is inflating an air tank, if the air pump and its power supply line are disconnected, the air pump does not introduce high-pressure air into the air pipeline between the air pump and the air tank, which may result in no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air tank are located for a period of time. When the air tank or its air pipeline leaks, the high-pressure air introduced by the air pump into the air pipeline between the air pump and the air tank leaks, which may also result in no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air tank are located for a period of time.

[0064] S2. If the change of the first target parameter meets the first condition, the air pipeline between the air pump and the target object is cut off, and the change of the second target parameter is monitored, wherein the second target parameter at least includes the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first condition is used to describe the change of the first target parameter when it is not in accordance with expectations and there are multiple possibilities for the corresponding abnormal cause. After the air pipeline between the air pump and the target object is cut off, the second target parameter will show different changes for different abnormal causes. Therefore, the cause of the inflation abnormality can be accurately diagnosed based on the change of the second target parameter.

[0066] Optionally, the air line between the air pump and the target object can be isolated by closing one of the valves of the air pump and the target object.

[0067] S3. Determine the reason why the air pump inflates the target object abnormally according to the change of the second target parameter.

[0068] For example, during the process of the air pump inflating the air spring, there is no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipe where the air pump and the air spring are located, and there is no obvious change in the height of the air spring. After isolating the air pipe between the air pump and the air spring, if the pressure of the air pipe where the air pump is located changes significantly, it means that the air pump and its power supply line are normal, and the abnormality is caused by leakage of the air spring or its air pipe. Conversely, if there is no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipe where the air pump is located, it means that the air pump and its power supply line are broken.

[0069] For example, during the process of the air pump inflating the air tank, there is no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air tank are located for a period of time. After the air pipeline between the air pump and the air tank is cut off, if the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located changes significantly, it means that the air pump and its power supply line are normal, and the abnormality is caused by leakage of the air tank or its air pipeline. Conversely, if there is no obvious change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located, it means that the air pump and its power supply line are broken.

[0070] In this embodiment, during the process of the air pump inflating the target object, the change of the first target parameter is monitored; if the change of the first target parameter meets the first condition, the air pipeline between the air pump and the target object is cut off, and the change of the second target parameter is monitored; the reason why the air pump inflates the target object abnormally is determined according to the change of the second target parameter. Through this embodiment, the reason why the air pump inflates the target object abnormally can be accurately diagnosed, thereby reducing the difficulty of maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0071] Further, in one embodiment, the target object is an air spring, and the first target parameter includes the pressure of the air pump and the air pipeline where the air spring is located and the height of the air spring;

[0072] The step of monitoring the change of the first target parameter comprises:

[0073] When the inflation time reaches a first preset time, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air spring are located is recorded as a first initial value, and the height of the air spring is recorded as a second initial value;

[0074] The difference between the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air spring are located and the first initial value is calculated in real time to obtain a first real-time difference, and the difference between the height of the air spring and the second initial value is calculated in real time to obtain a second real-time difference;

[0075] The first condition includes: at each moment within the second preset time length, the absolute value of the first real-time difference is less than the first threshold, and the absolute value of the second real-time difference is less than the second threshold.

[0076] In this embodiment, when the air pump is inflating the air spring, and the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air spring are located does not change significantly and the height of the air spring does not change significantly for a period of time, specific parameter monitoring methods and condition judgment methods are provided to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0077] It is particularly noted that in the short period of time when the valves of the air spring and the air pump are just opened, there is usually a pressure difference on both sides of the valve, and the first target parameter measured at this time will fluctuate significantly. The first preset time length is used to ensure that the pressure difference on both sides of the valve has been eliminated, so as to improve the reliability of the first initial value and the second initial value.

[0078] Further, in one embodiment, the second target parameter includes the pressure of the air line where the air pump is located;

[0079] The step of monitoring the change of the second target parameter comprises:

[0080] When the air pipeline between the air pump and the air spring is cut off, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located is recorded as the third initial value;

[0081] Calculate in real time the difference between the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located and the third initial value to obtain a third real-time difference value;

[0082] The step of determining the reason why the air pump inflates the target object abnormally according to the change of the second target parameter comprises:

[0083] If the change of the second target parameter meets the second condition, it is determined that the air pump and its power supply line are broken, and the second condition includes: at each moment within the third preset time length, the absolute value of the third real-time difference is less than the third threshold value;

[0084] If the change in the second target parameter meets the third condition, it is determined that the air spring or its air pipeline is leaking. The third condition includes: at any time within a third preset time period, the absolute value of the third real-time difference is greater than or equal to a third threshold.

[0085] In this embodiment, after isolating the air pipeline between the air pump and the air spring, the cause of abnormal inflation of the air spring by the air pump is determined according to the change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located. For the cases where the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located changes significantly and the cases where the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located does not change significantly, specific parameter monitoring methods and condition judgment methods are provided to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0086] It should be noted that after isolating the air pipeline between the air pump and the air spring, in theory, the reason for the abnormal inflation of the air spring by the air pump can also be determined based on the change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air spring is located. That is, if the pressure of the air pipeline where the air spring is located changes significantly, it means that the abnormal cause is leakage of the air spring or its air pipeline, and the air pump and its power supply line are normal. On the contrary, if the pressure of the air pipeline where the air spring is located does not change significantly, it means that the air pump and its power supply line are broken.

[0087] However, considering that in actual situations, the leakage rate of the air spring or its air pipeline is difficult to predict, while the inflation rate of the air pump is known, it would be more accurate to determine the cause of abnormal inflation of the air spring by the air pump based on the changes in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located.

[0088] Further, in one embodiment, the target object is an air tank, and the first target parameter includes the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air tank are located;

[0089] The step of monitoring the change of the first target parameter comprises:

[0090] When the inflation time reaches a fourth preset time, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air storage tank are located is recorded as a fourth initial value;

[0091] The difference between the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air storage tank are located and the fourth initial value is calculated in real time to obtain a fourth real-time difference value;

[0092] The first condition includes: at each moment within the fifth preset time length, the absolute value of the fourth real-time difference is less than the fourth threshold.

[0093] In this embodiment, when the air pump is inflating the air tank, if the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air tank are located does not change significantly for a period of time, a specific parameter monitoring method and condition determination method are provided to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0094] Similar to the previous article, in the short period of time when the valves of the gas tank and the air pump are just opened, there is usually a pressure difference on both sides of the valve, and the first target parameter measured at this time will have obvious fluctuations. The fourth preset time length is used to ensure that the pressure difference on both sides of the valve has been eliminated to improve the reliability of the fourth initial value.

[0095] Further, in one embodiment, the second target parameter includes the pressure of the air line where the air pump is located;

[0096] The step of monitoring the change of the second target parameter comprises:

[0097] When the air pipeline between the air pump and the air storage tank is cut off, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located is recorded as the fifth initial value;

[0098] Calculate in real time the difference between the pressure of the air line where the air pump is located and the fifth initial value to obtain a fifth real-time difference value;

[0099] The step of determining the reason why the air pump inflates the target object abnormally according to the change of the second target parameter comprises:

[0100] If the change of the second target parameter meets the fourth condition, it is determined that the air pump and its power supply line are broken, and the fourth condition includes: at each moment within the sixth preset time length, the absolute value of the fifth real-time difference is less than the fifth threshold value;

[0101] If the change in the second target parameter meets the fifth condition, it is determined that the air tank or its air pipeline is leaking, and the fifth condition includes: at any time within the sixth preset time period, the absolute value of the fifth real-time difference is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold.

[0102] In the present embodiment, after isolating the air pipeline between the air pump and the air tank, the cause of abnormal inflation of the air tank by the air pump is determined according to the change in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located. For the cases where the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located changes significantly and the cases where the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located does not change significantly, specific parameter monitoring methods and condition judgment methods are provided to improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis.

[0103] As mentioned above, the leakage rate of the air tank or its air pipeline is difficult to predict, but the inflation rate of the air pump is known. It will be more accurate to determine the cause of abnormal inflation of the air tank by the air pump based on the changes in the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located.

[0104] Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of an air suspension system in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0105] Reference Figure 2 In some air suspension systems, instead of separately setting pressure sensors for the air pump, air tank, and each air spring, the pressure of the air line where a single object is located and the pressure of the air line where multiple objects are located are measured with the help of pressure sensors in the air distribution valve and different valve opening methods.

[0106] Specifically, when the valve of a certain object (air pump / air tank / left front air spring / right front air spring / left rear air spring / right rear air spring) in the air distribution valve is opened and other valves are closed, the pressure sensor in the air distribution valve measures the pressure of the air pipeline where the object is located. When the valves of multiple objects in the air distribution valve (such as air pump and air tank, air pump and air spring, air tank and air spring) are opened and other valves are closed, the pressure sensor in the air distribution valve measures the pressure of the air pipeline where these objects are located.

[0107] Further, in one embodiment, during the process of the air pump inflating the target object, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the target object are located is measured by a pressure sensor in the air distribution valve;

[0108] The step of isolating the air pipeline between the air pump and the target object comprises:

[0109] Close the valve of the target object in the air distribution valve to measure the pressure of the air line where the air pump is located through the pressure sensor in the air distribution valve.

[0110] In this embodiment, during the process of the air pump inflating the target object, the valves of the air pump and the target object in the air distribution valve are opened, and other valves are closed. The pressure measured by the pressure sensor in the air distribution valve is the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the target object are located. After closing the valve of the target object in the air distribution valve, the valve of the air pump in the air distribution valve is opened, and other valves are closed. The pressure measured by the pressure sensor in the air distribution valve is the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located.

[0111] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the air suspension fault diagnosis method further includes:

[0112] When the air pump is not inflating any object, monitoring the pressure of the air line where the air pump is located;

[0113] If the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located is greater than or equal to the sixth threshold value, it is determined that the air pump and its power supply circuit are short-circuited.

[0114] In this embodiment, when the air pump is not inflating any object, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located is monitored to determine whether the air pump and its power supply circuit are short-circuited, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of fault diagnosis.

[0115] Optionally, the sixth threshold is greater than the maximum operating pressure of the entire air suspension system and less than the opening pressure of the mechanical protection valve of the air pump.

[0116] For example, the maximum working pressure of the entire air suspension system is 18 bar, the opening pressure of the mechanical protection valve of the air pump is 21 bar, and the sixth threshold value can be set to 19 bar.

[0117] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application also provides an air suspension fault diagnosis device.

[0118] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of functional modules of an air suspension fault diagnosis device in one embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0119] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, the air suspension fault diagnosis device includes:

[0120] A first monitoring module 10 is used to monitor changes in a first target parameter during the process of the air pump inflating the target object, wherein the first target parameter at least includes the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the target object are located;

[0121] The second monitoring module 20 is used to cut off the air pipeline between the air pump and the target object if the change of the first target parameter meets the first condition, and monitor the change of the second target parameter, wherein the second target parameter at least includes the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump is located;

[0122] The cause determination module 30 is used to determine the cause of abnormal inflation of the target object by the air pump according to the change of the second target parameter.

[0123] Further, in one embodiment, the target object is an air spring, and the first target parameter includes the pressure of the air pump and the air pipeline where the air spring is located and the height of the air spring;

[0124] The first monitoring module 10 is used for:

[0125] When the inflation time reaches a first preset time, the pressure of the air pipeline where the air pump and the air spring are located is recorded as a first initial value, and the height of the air spring is recorded as a second initial value;
