Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a dual-fuel injection system, a control method, a control device and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The injection end of the dual-fuel injector directly extends into the combustion chamber. The dual-fuel injector is used to inject two fuels into the combustion chamber, one of which is the pilot fuel and the other is the main fuel. The pilot fuel is used to ignite the main fuel. When the pilot fuel is gasoline or diesel, the injection end is kept at high temperature for a long time, and the injection hole used to inject the pilot fuel is small in diameter, which is very easy to accumulate carbon. In order to improve fuel economy, the injection pressure is usually very low, so that as the carbon deposits increase, the carbon deposits will block the injection holes used to inject the pilot fuel, causing the dual-fuel injector to fail to work properly.

[0003] In order to prevent carbon deposits from clogging the nozzle holes for injecting pilot fuel, the prior art fuel engine proposes to calculate the amount of carbon deposits in the fuel injector in real time, and when the amount of carbon deposits exceeds a set value, use the maximum fuel injection pressure to inject fuel once, thereby clearing the carbon deposits at the nozzle holes through a larger fuel flow rate.

[0004] In actual application, it was found that the fuel consumption was high, which reduced the economic performance of the engine; the noise was loud, which reduced the NVH performance of the engine. Summary of the invention

[0045] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only parts related to the present invention, rather than all structures, are shown in the accompanying drawings.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0047] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them.

[0048] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dual fuel injection system, including a fuel injector 3 and a first fuel supply device 1, wherein the fuel injector 3 has a first fuel injection channel for injecting a first fuel into a combustion chamber of the engine; the first fuel supply device 1 includes a first fuel pump 12 and a first fuel storage unit 11, the inlet of the first fuel pump 12 is connected to the first fuel storage unit 11, the outlet of the first fuel pump 12 is connected to the inlet of the first fuel injection channel, and the first fuel pump 12 is a variable pump. The above-mentioned first fuel is a carbon-containing fuel that plays an ignition role. Exemplarily, the first fuel is fuel oil, such as diesel or gasoline. In other embodiments, the above-mentioned first fuel can also be dimethyl ether.

[0050] The combustion chamber is selectively connected or disconnected with the intake passage 4 through the intake valve, and selectively connected or disconnected with the exhaust passage 5 through the exhaust valve. A phase sensor 6 is installed on the engine, and the phase sensor 6 is used to detect the valve timing of the engine. The valve timing is the crankshaft angle corresponding to the moment when the intake valve and exhaust valve of the engine are opened and closed according to the working cycle of the engine. It is called the valve timing phase angle. When the valve timing phase angle is determined to be inaccurate according to the detection signal of the phase sensor 6, the instrument light on the vehicle is lit to indicate engine failure.

[0051] The accelerator pedal 7 on the vehicle is used to control the opening of the throttle valve of the engine to control the power output of the engine.

[0052] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a dual-fuel injection system control method, which is used for the above-mentioned dual-fuel injection system. The dual-fuel injection system has a carbon deposit removal mode and a normal working mode. When the engine speed and torque are the same, when the dual-fuel injection system works in the carbon deposit removal mode, the injection pressure of the first fuel is P1, and when the dual-fuel injection system works in the normal working mode, the injection pressure of the first fuel is P2, and P1>P2.

[0053] The dual fuel injection system control method comprises the following steps:

[0054] During the operation of the engine, the dual fuel injection system is controlled to adjust the injection pressure of the first fuel according to the speed and torque of the engine;

[0055] When it is determined that the dual-fuel injection system needs to be cleaned of carbon deposits, the dual-fuel injection system is controlled to switch from a normal working mode to a carbon deposit cleaning mode.

[0056] Specifically, the injection pressure of the first fuel is adjusted by adjusting the displacement of the first fuel pump 12. When the dual fuel injection system operates in the normal working mode, the injection pressure P2 of the first fuel and the displacement of the first fuel pump 12 correspond one to one.

[0057] The dual-fuel injection system control method controls the dual-fuel injection system to adjust the injection pressure of the first fuel according to the engine speed and torque during engine operation to ensure that the injection amount of the first fuel meets the basic requirements of engine operation, and by limiting P1>P2, the carbon deposits at the injection hole can be flushed away during the injection of the first fuel to avoid the injection hole being blocked, so that the first fuel injection channel can normally inject the first fuel into the combustion chamber.

[0058] The dual-fuel injection system control method can avoid the waste of the first fuel and improve the economy of engine operation; at the same time, it can reduce the influence of the first fuel injection on the engine performance as much as possible under the premise of ensuring that the carbon deposits at the injection hole are flushed away.

[0059] In some embodiments, the dual fuel injection system control method further includes the following steps:

[0060] The duration of the engine operating under the high-load condition is accumulated. When the accumulated duration of the engine operating under the high-load condition is greater than or equal to a preset duration, it is determined that the dual-fuel injection system needs to be cleaned of carbon deposits.

[0061] When the engine is in medium load, low load or idle condition, the temperature in the combustion chamber is relatively low and carbon deposits are not easy to form. Therefore, it is determined whether the accumulated time of the engine working under high load condition is greater than or equal to the preset time to determine whether the dual fuel injection system needs to be cleaned of carbon deposits.

[0062] The cumulative duration of the engine working under high-load conditions refers to the total duration of the engine working under high-load conditions from the completion of one carbon deposit removal mode to the start of the next carbon deposit removal mode of the dual-fuel injection system. It can be that the duration of the engine working under high-load conditions once reaches the preset duration, or it can be that the duration of the engine working under high-load conditions once does not reach the preset duration, but the sum of the duration of the engine working under high-load conditions multiple times reaches the preset duration.

[0063] The above-mentioned preset time is determined through repeated tests and will not be specifically limited here.

[0064] It should be noted that the high-load condition of the engine is determined based on the engine speed and torque. Specifically, if the ratio of the current torque of the engine to the maximum torque of the engine at the current speed is not less than the preset ratio, the engine is in a high-load condition. Exemplarily, the preset ratio is 90%, and the maximum torque of the engine at the current speed is the torque corresponding to the current speed of the engine obtained by querying the external characteristic curve between the speed and torque of the engine.

[0065] In some embodiments, the injection pressure P1 of the first fuel when the dual fuel injection system operates in the carbon deposit removal mode is obtained by the following steps:

[0066] Based on the first correspondence between the engine speed, the engine torque and the injection pressure P1 of the first fuel when the engine operates under high load conditions for a preset clearing time, the injection pressure P1 of the first fuel is determined by querying the actual engine speed and the actual engine torque.

[0067] It should be noted that the first corresponding relationship may be a map or a data table determined through multiple repeated tests, and is not specifically limited here.

[0068] The injection pressure P2 of the first fuel when the dual fuel injection system works in the normal working mode is obtained by the following steps:

[0069] Based on the second corresponding relationship between the engine speed, the engine torque and the injection pressure P2 of the first fuel, the injection pressure P2 of the first fuel is determined by looking up the actual engine speed and the actual engine torque.

[0070] It should be noted that the second corresponding relationship may be a map or a data table determined through multiple repeated tests, and is not specifically limited here.

[0071] The second fuel injected by the dual-fuel injection system is different from the first fuel. The second fuel may be natural gas, methanol, etc. At this time, the first fuel is used to ignite the second fuel.

[0072] The first fuel supply device 1 further includes a first fuel pressure detection unit 15 for detecting the outlet pressure of the first fuel pump 12, and the fuel injector 3 has a second fuel injection passage for injecting a second fuel into the combustion chamber.

[0073] The dual fuel injection system also includes a second fuel supply device 2, which includes a second fuel pump 22, a second fuel storage unit 21 and a pressure regulating unit 26. The inlet of the second fuel pump 22 is connected to the second fuel storage unit 21, and the outlet of the second fuel pump 22 is connected to the inlet of the second fuel injection channel through the pressure regulating unit 26. The second fuel pump 22 is a variable pump, and the pressure regulating unit 26 is used to adjust the pressure of the second fuel delivered to the second fuel injection channel according to the detection result of the first fuel pressure detection unit 15.

[0074] Exemplarily, the first fuel pressure detection unit 15 is a pressure sensor, and the pressure regulating unit 26 is an electromagnetic pressure reducing valve, which is convenient for adjusting the pressure of the second fuel delivered to the second fuel injection channel according to the detection result of the first fuel pressure detection unit 15.

[0075] Taking the first fuel as diesel and the second fuel as natural gas as an example, the first fuel storage unit 11 is a fuel tank, the second fuel storage unit 21 is an LNG gas cylinder, the first fuel pump 12 is a high-pressure oil pump, and the second fuel pump 22 is an LNG booster pump.

[0076] When the dual-fuel injection system is in normal working mode, the pressure regulating unit 26 in the second fuel supply device 2 is controlled to operate according to the injection pressure of the first fuel to adjust the injection pressure of the second fuel so that the pressure difference between the injection pressure of the first fuel and the injection pressure of the second fuel is within a preset pressure difference range.

[0077] The pressure regulating unit 26 adjusts the pressure of the second fuel delivered to the second fuel injection channel according to the detection result of the first fuel pressure detection unit 15, so that the injection pressure delivered to the second fuel follows the injection pressure change of the first fuel, and the injection pressure of the second fuel and the injection pressure of the first fuel maintain a stable pressure difference, thereby ensuring the combustion stability in the combustion chamber.

[0078] When the dual-fuel injection system is in the carbon deposit removal mode, since P1 is greater than P2 when the engine speed and torque are the same, the pressure regulating unit 26 may still fail to meet the injection pressure requirement for the second fuel when it is at the maximum opening, that is, it is impossible to keep the injection pressure of the first fuel and the injection pressure of the second fuel within the preset pressure difference range. Replacing the pressure regulating unit 26 will increase the cost and reduce the control accuracy of the injection pressure of the second fuel. For this reason, when the dual-fuel injection system is in the carbon deposit removal mode, the displacement of the second fuel pump 22 used to supply the second fuel in the dual-fuel injection system is adjusted according to the injection pressure of the first fuel to adjust the injection pressure of the second fuel so that the pressure difference between the injection pressure of the first fuel and the injection pressure of the second fuel is within the preset pressure difference range.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first fuel pump 12 is in communication with an inlet of the first fuel injection passage through the first fuel rail 14 , and the pressure regulating unit 26 is in communication with an inlet of the second fuel injection passage through the second fuel rail 24 .

[0080] During operation of the dual fuel injection system, the first fuel rail 14 prevents the air pressure in the combustion chamber from affecting the outlet pressure of the first fuel pump 12 , and the second fuel rail 24 prevents the air pressure in the combustion chamber from affecting the outlet pressure of the second fuel pump 22 .

[0081] In some embodiments, the first fuel supply device 1 also includes a first pressure-limiting valve 17 and a second pressure-limiting valve 18, and the inlet of the first fuel injection channel is connected to the first fuel storage unit 11 through the first pressure-limiting valve 17; the inlet of the second pressure-limiting valve 18 is connected to the inlet of the first pressure-limiting valve 17 through the control switch valve 16, and the outlet of the second pressure-limiting valve 18 is connected to the outlet of the first pressure-limiting valve 17, and the opening pressure of the second pressure-limiting valve 18 is greater than the opening pressure of the first pressure-limiting valve 17.

[0082] When the dual fuel injection system is in normal working mode, the first pressure limiting valve 17 is operative to prevent the outlet pressure of the first fuel injection channel from being too high, thereby improving the injection pressure accuracy of the first fuel and correspondingly improving the injection pressure accuracy of the second fuel.

[0083] When the dual fuel injection system is in the carbon deposit removal mode, due to the same engine speed and torque, P1 is greater than P2. Therefore, the control switch valve 16 is closed, so that the first pressure limiting valve 17 does not work. At this time, the second pressure limiting valve 18 works to avoid excessive outlet pressure of the first fuel injection channel.

[0084] Exemplarily, the control switch valve 16 is a solenoid switch valve.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the operating time of the dual fuel injection system in the carbon deposit cleaning mode reaches a preset cleaning time, the dual fuel injection system is switched to the normal operating mode.

[0086] When the cumulative working time of the engine under high load conditions is greater than or equal to the preset time, the dual-fuel injection system is switched from the normal working mode to the carbon deposit removal mode. Therefore, the above-mentioned preset removal time is based on the premise that the working time of the engine under high load conditions is equal to the preset time. The preset removal time is the time it takes to remove the carbon deposits near the injection hole determined through multiple repeated tests. This is a known value and is not specifically limited here.

[0087] When the working time of the dual-fuel injection system in the carbon deposit removal mode reaches the preset removal time, it means that the carbon deposit removal is completed, the accumulated time of the engine working under the high load condition is reset, and the time of the engine working under the high load condition is accumulated again.

[0088] In some embodiments, the dual fuel injection system further includes a second fuel pressure detection unit 25, which is used to detect the outlet pressure of the second fuel pump 22. Exemplarily, the second fuel pressure detection unit 25 is a pressure sensor.

[0089] In some embodiments, a first fuel filter 13 is disposed between the first fuel storage unit 11 and the first fuel pump 12 , and a second fuel filter 23 is disposed between the second fuel pump 22 and the pressure regulating unit 26 .

[0090] When the first fuel is fuel oil, the first fuel filter 13 is a fuel oil filter, and when the second fuel is natural gas, the second fuel filter 23 is a fuel gas filter.

[0091] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a dual fuel injection system control method provided by a preferred embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the dual fuel injection system control method includes the following steps:

[0092] S10, during the operation of the engine in the normal working mode, the cumulative time T1 of the engine working under the high load condition;

[0093] S20, determine whether T1 is greater than or equal to the preset time length T0, if so, execute S30, if not, return to S10;

[0094] S30, controlling the dual fuel injection system to switch to a carbon deposit removal mode;

[0095] S40, determining whether the working time T2 of the dual fuel injection system working in the carbon deposit removal mode reaches the preset removal time T3, if yes, executing S50, if no, returning to S40;

[0096] S50: Control the dual fuel injection system to switch to a normal working mode, and clear the accumulated working time of the engine under the high load condition to zero.

[0097] An embodiment of the present invention also provides a dual fuel injection system control device, which is used to control the above-mentioned dual fuel injection system to execute the above-mentioned dual fuel injection system control method. The above-mentioned pressure regulating unit 26, the first fuel pump 12, the second fuel pump 22, the first fuel pressure detection unit 15, the second fuel pressure detection unit 25, and the control switch valve 16 are all electrically connected to the dual fuel injection system control device 8.

[0098] The dual fuel injection system control device 8 includes a determination module, a first control module and a second control module, wherein the determination module is used to determine whether the dual fuel injection system needs to perform carbon deposit removal; the first control module is used to control the dual fuel injection system to execute a carbon deposit removal mode when the dual fuel injection system needs to perform carbon deposit removal; the second control module is used to control the dual fuel injection system to execute a normal working mode when the dual fuel injection system does not need to perform carbon deposit removal.

[0099] When the dual-fuel injection system operates in the carbon deposit removal mode, the dual-fuel injection system is controlled to adjust the injection pressure of the first fuel according to the engine speed and torque to ensure that the injection amount of the first fuel meets the basic requirements of the engine operation, and by limiting P1>P2, the carbon deposits at the injection hole can be flushed away during the injection of the first fuel to avoid clogging of the injection hole, so that the first fuel injection channel can normally inject the first fuel into the combustion chamber.

[0100] The dual fuel injection system control device 8 can avoid the waste of the first fuel and improve the economy of engine operation; at the same time, it can reduce the influence of the first fuel injection on the engine performance as much as possible under the premise of flushing away the carbon deposits at the injection hole.
