[0049] The present application provides a method, system and device for composite hydrogen injection in an intake port of a hydrogen combustion engine, which are used to avoid pressure regulation responsiveness lag.

[0050] A hydrogen-fired engine is a new type of engine that uses hydrogen as fuel, in which hydrogen releases energy through combustion in the engine, thereby driving mechanical operation. Traditional fuel engines rely on gasoline or diesel refined from petroleum, while hydrogen-fired engines use hydrogen, which has a wide range of sources and can be produced through green methods such as water electrolysis. In terms of environmental protection, traditional fuel engines will produce a large amount of pollutants such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, while the main product of hydrogen-fired engines after combustion is water, which is more environmentally friendly and almost achieves zero carbon emissions, which makes hydrogen-fired engines have huge development potential.

[0051] It should be noted that the composite hydrogen injection method for the hydrogen combustion engine intake port of the present application is applied to the composite hydrogen injection structure of the intake port, wherein the composite hydrogen injection structure of the intake port is specifically referred to in Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of an intake manifold composite hydrogen injection structure provided in the specification of the present application, the intake manifold composite hydrogen injection structure comprising: a plurality of cylinders and an intake manifold 205 and a nozzle unit arranged on each cylinder, the cylinder comprising a cylinder block, a cylinder head 204, an intake valve 203 and a piston 207, the enclosed space formed by the piston 207, the cylinder block and the cylinder head 204 is a combustion chamber 206, one end of the intake manifold 205 is connected to the intake valve 207, the nozzle unit comprises a first intake manifold nozzle 201 and a second intake manifold nozzle 202, the first intake manifold nozzle 201 and the second intake manifold nozzle 202 are connected to the intake manifold 205, the first intake manifold nozzle 201 is arranged between the intake valve 207 and the second intake manifold nozzle 202, and the flow rate of the first intake manifold nozzle 201 is less than the flow rate of the second intake manifold nozzle 202.

[0052] See also Figure 1The present application first provides an embodiment of a method for composite hydrogen injection in an intake port of a hydrogen combustion engine, the embodiment comprising:

[0053] S101, when the hydrogen-fired engine is started, obtaining the operating condition of the hydrogen-fired engine;

[0054] In this embodiment, when the hydrogen-fired engine is started, the operating conditions of the hydrogen-fired engine are first obtained through sensors installed on the hydrogen-fired engine, such as temperature sensors, speed sensors, pressure sensors, etc. After these sensors obtain the initial data of the operating conditions such as the engine startup temperature, speed, and intake pressure, they are transmitted to the control unit of the hydrogen-fired engine, and the control unit analyzes and processes the initial data of the operating conditions to determine the current operating condition of the engine, such as cold start, hot start, etc.

[0055] S102: Start the first intake duct nozzle and / or the second intake duct nozzle according to the operating conditions.

[0056] The first intake duct nozzle and the second intake duct nozzle are both intake duct nozzles. The intake duct nozzle is an intake duct nozzle device for injecting fuel into the engine intake duct. Usually, the device is installed near the intake manifold and can inject hydrogen into the intake duct at a certain pressure, angle and flow rate, which helps to optimize the mixture during the intake process. During the engine intake stroke, air is sucked into the intake duct, and the intake duct nozzle simultaneously injects hydrogen into it, so that the hydrogen and air begin to mix before entering the cylinder, which helps to improve the uniformity of the mixing of hydrogen and air, thereby improving combustion efficiency. In this embodiment, the flow rate of the first intake duct nozzle is less than the flow rate of the second intake duct nozzle, and the injection flow rate ratio of the first intake duct nozzle and the second intake duct nozzle is 1:1 to 1:10.

[0057] In this embodiment, after the operating condition of the hydrogen-fired engine is obtained by the sensor on the hydrogen-fired engine, the control unit will make a decision based on the obtained operating condition data, such as analyzing whether the engine is in a low-load condition. If it is determined to be in a low-load condition, only the first intake duct nozzle is started to maintain stable combustion with a lower hydrogen flow supply; if the engine is in a high-load condition, the second intake duct nozzle is started according to the actual condition, or the first intake duct nozzle and the second intake duct nozzle are started at the same time to increase the hydrogen supply to meet the power demand, and the control unit will accurately control the nozzle opening time, injection frequency, etc. according to the specific needs under different working conditions.

[0058] This embodiment obtains the operating conditions when the hydrogen-fired engine is started, which provides a key basis for the subsequent reasonable control of hydrogen injection, helps to optimize the supply of hydrogen, improve combustion efficiency, reduce energy waste and incomplete combustion during startup, thereby reducing harmful gas emissions, and can also extend the service life of the engine and improve the stability and reliability of engine startup. By starting the first intake nozzle and / or the second intake nozzle according to the operating conditions, it is possible to achieve the need to adjust the hydrogen supply pressure in real time according to the operating conditions, thereby eliminating the need to add an additional set of electronically controlled hydrogen supply pressure regulating devices, avoiding the problem of delayed pressure regulation responsiveness due to the complexity of the pressure regulation strategy of the electronically controlled hydrogen supply pressure regulating device, and helping to improve the stability and reliability of the hydrogen-fired engine system and reduce the complexity of the system.

[0059] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 Another embodiment of a method for composite hydrogen injection in an intake port of a hydrogen combustion engine provided by the present application includes:

[0060] S301, when the hydrogen-fired engine is started, obtaining the operating condition of the hydrogen-fired engine;

[0061] In this embodiment, step S301 is similar to step S101 in the above embodiment and will not be described again here.

[0062] S302, judging whether the hydrogen-fired engine is started according to the operating conditions;

[0063] In this embodiment, after obtaining the operating conditions, the engine control unit will compare these operating condition data with the preset start-up judgment criteria, for example, comparing the detected speed, temperature and other data with the minimum speed and suitable temperature range required for normal start-up. If these data are within the start-up judgment criteria, the engine is judged to be started; if any data does not meet the criteria, the engine is judged not to be started. Determining whether the hydrogen-fired engine is started by the operating conditions can avoid unnecessary operations when the engine is not actually started, and prevent the accidental injection of hydrogen. If so, step 303 is executed; if not, the engine load is obtained according to the operating conditions, and an intake nozzle and / or a second intake nozzle is started according to the engine load, that is, step 304 is executed.

[0064] S303, starting the first intake duct nozzle to spray the intake manifold and the intake valve;

[0065] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the engine is in the starting state, the engine control unit will send a starting instruction to the first intake duct nozzle. After receiving the instruction, the first intake duct nozzle will open its internal solenoid valve, and the hydrogen in the high-pressure hydrogen storage device will be injected into the intake manifold and the intake valve through the first intake duct nozzle under the action of pressure. At the same time, the engine control unit will control the opening time and injection frequency of the first intake duct nozzle according to pre-set parameters such as the hydrogen injection amount at startup.

[0066] S304, determining whether the engine load satisfies the idle condition;

[0067] Idle condition is an engine working state, in which the engine maintains the lowest stable speed and the external output power is basically zero. In a car, when the vehicle is stopped but the engine is still running, such as when waiting for a red light or stopping for a short time without turning off the engine, the engine is in idle condition. At this time, the engine only needs to overcome its own internal friction and the energy required for the operation of equipment such as water pumps and generators. The idle speed is usually within a specific range, which may vary for different types of engines, generally around 600-1000 rpm. Under this condition, the engine's hydrogen consumption is low, but if the idle time is too long or the idle condition is not well controlled, it will cause energy waste.

[0068] In this embodiment, the engine control unit first obtains various operating parameters of the engine, such as speed, intake volume, throttle opening, etc., and then compares these data with the preset standard parameters of the idle condition. For example, if the engine speed is in a specific low speed range of 700-900 rpm, the intake volume is also in a lower numerical range corresponding to the idle condition, and the throttle opening is close to the minimum state, it is determined whether the engine load meets the idle condition based on these parameters. If yes, step 305 is executed. If not, the hydrogen demand flow rate is determined according to the engine load, and the first intake nozzle and / or the second intake nozzle are started according to the hydrogen demand flow rate, that is, step 306 is executed.

[0069] S305, maintaining the spraying state of the first air inlet nozzle;

[0070] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the engine load meets the idle condition, the engine control unit will send an instruction to maintain the existing injection state of the first intake duct nozzle, and the first intake duct nozzle will continue to inject hydrogen according to previously set parameters such as injection frequency, injection duration and injection amount, among which the solenoid valve and other control components inside the first intake duct nozzle will continue to maintain the current working state to stably inject hydrogen into the intake manifold and intake valve.

[0071] It should be noted that, in the process of maintaining the injection state of the first intake duct nozzle, it is necessary to continue to execute step S304 to continuously determine whether the engine load meets the idle condition. Once the engine load does not meet the idle condition, it is necessary to execute step S306 to further start the first intake duct nozzle and / or the second intake duct nozzle according to the hydrogen demand flow rate.

[0072] S306, determining a hydrogen demand flow rate according to the engine load, and judging whether the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than a first threshold;

[0073] In this embodiment, the engine control unit will collect relevant data of engine operation from multiple sensors. After obtaining these data, the hydrogen demand flow rate will be calculated. For example, if the engine speed is high and the intake volume is large, it means that the engine is in a high-load working state. At this time, more hydrogen is needed to maintain efficient combustion. The calculated hydrogen demand flow rate will increase accordingly. Then the engine control unit compares the calculated hydrogen demand flow rate with a pre-set first threshold value. The first threshold value is determined during the engine development and debugging process. It takes into account the hydrogen supply demand, combustion efficiency, and exhaust emissions of the engine under different working conditions. For example, for a hydrogen-burning engine, the first threshold value may be set to a hydrogen flow rate of 5 cubic meters per hour, which is an important boundary for distinguishing high and low hydrogen demand. If the hydrogen demand flow rate is less than the first threshold value, step 307 is executed. If the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the first threshold value, step 308 is executed.

[0074] S307, the required hydrogen flow rate is less than the first threshold value, and the injection state of the first intake nozzle is maintained;

[0075] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the hydrogen demand flow rate is less than the first threshold value, the engine control unit starts to execute the operation of maintaining the injection state of the first intake nozzle, wherein the engine control unit first checks the current working parameters of the first intake nozzle, which include but are not limited to the injection frequency, injection duration and injection amount, etc. For example, the current injection frequency of the first intake nozzle may be 15 times per second, the injection duration is 15 milliseconds each time, and the injection amount is 0.2 liters of hydrogen per injection. The engine control unit sends a specific control instruction to the first intake nozzle, which will be received by the controller inside the first intake nozzle, and the controller will maintain the current injection frequency, injection duration and injection amount unchanged. For example, other working conditions of the engine may undergo some minor changes, but as long as the hydrogen demand flow rate is still less than the first threshold value, the first intake nozzle will continue to inject hydrogen to the intake manifold and the intake valve according to the injection frequency of 15 times per second, the injection duration of 15 milliseconds each time, and the injection amount of 0.2 liters of hydrogen per injection.

[0076] S308, the required hydrogen flow rate is greater than the first threshold, the first intake nozzle is closed and the second intake nozzle is started to spray the intake manifold and the intake valve;

[0077] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the first threshold value, the engine control unit will first send a closing instruction to the first intake nozzle. After receiving the instruction, the controller built into the first intake nozzle will immediately operate the internal solenoid valve to close. After the first intake nozzle is closed, the engine control unit will send a start instruction to the second intake nozzle. After receiving the instruction, the solenoid valve inside the second intake nozzle will open, so that hydrogen can be injected into the intake manifold and the intake valve through the second intake nozzle. In this process, the working parameters of the second intake nozzle, such as injection frequency, injection duration and injection amount, will be initialized according to a pre-set program. For example, the second intake nozzle may inject hydrogen into the intake manifold and the intake valve at an injection frequency of 8 times per second, an injection duration of 10 milliseconds each time, and an injection amount of 0.3 liters of hydrogen per injection.

[0078] S309, determining whether the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than a second threshold;

[0079] In this embodiment, when the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the first threshold and the second intake nozzle has started to spray, the engine control unit will perform an operation of comparing the current hydrogen demand flow rate with the second threshold, wherein the engine control unit will first reacquire the precise value of the hydrogen demand flow rate, and after the intake nozzle is started to spray, the engine control unit will continuously update this value to reflect the real-time hydrogen demand of the engine, and then the engine control unit will read the pre-set second threshold value from its internal storage unit, which is set based on the performance, combustion efficiency, exhaust emissions and hydrogen supply system capacity of the engine under higher hydrogen demand conditions. The engine control unit compares the acquired real-time value of the hydrogen demand flow rate with the second threshold value, and determines the subsequent hydrogen injection strategy adjustment according to the comparison result, for example, if the hydrogen demand flow rate is 5 cubic meters per hour and the second threshold value is 8 cubic meters per hour, then the hydrogen demand flow rate is less than the second threshold value; if the hydrogen demand flow rate is 10 cubic meters per hour, then the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the second threshold value. If the required hydrogen flow rate is less than the second threshold, step 310 is executed; if the required hydrogen flow rate is greater than the first threshold, step 311 is executed.

[0080] S310, the required hydrogen flow rate is less than the second threshold value, and the injection state of the second intake nozzle is maintained;

[0081] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the hydrogen demand flow is less than the second threshold value, the engine control unit will perform an operation to maintain the current working state of the second intake nozzle, wherein the engine control unit will first send a maintenance instruction to the second intake nozzle, and the instruction will be received by the controller built into the second intake nozzle. After receiving the maintenance instruction, the controller will ensure that the various working parts of the second intake nozzle maintain the current state, for example, the solenoid valve inside the second intake nozzle will maintain the current opening degree, so as to maintain the injection frequency of 6 times per second, the injection duration of 10 milliseconds each time, and the injection amount of 0.3 liters of hydrogen per injection to inject hydrogen into the intake manifold and the intake valve. In this process, the engine control unit will continuously monitor the operating state of the engine and the hydrogen demand flow. Even if there are some minor changes in the working conditions of the engine, as long as the hydrogen demand flow is still less than the second threshold value, the engine control unit will not adjust the working state of the second intake nozzle.

[0082] S311: The required hydrogen flow rate is greater than the second threshold value, the injection state of the second intake nozzle is maintained and the first intake nozzle is started.

[0083] In this embodiment, when it is determined that the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the second threshold value, the engine control unit will confirm the current working status of the second intake duct nozzle and keep it unchanged, and then send a start command to the first intake duct nozzle. After receiving the command, the built-in controller of the first intake duct nozzle will open the internal solenoid valve to allow hydrogen to be injected into the intake manifold and the intake valve through the first intake duct nozzle, so that both the intake duct nozzle and the direct injection nozzle are in working condition.

[0084] This embodiment determines whether the hydrogen-fired engine is started according to the operating conditions, which not only provides basic data for subsequent operations, but also helps to optimize the engine's starting process, improve the starting efficiency, and reduce the waste of hydrogen during starting. At the same time, it can also ensure the stability of the engine during the starting phase and reduce the risk of damage to engine components. By determining that the engine is in the starting state, starting the first intake nozzle with a small flow rate helps the engine to quickly enter a stable working state, and does not need to adjust the hydrogen supply pressure in real time according to the working conditions, so there is no need to add an additional set of electronically controlled hydrogen supply pressure regulating devices, avoiding the problem of delayed pressure regulation responsiveness due to the complex pressure regulation strategy of the electronically controlled hydrogen supply pressure regulating device, improving combustion efficiency, and ensuring that the engine can quickly output power after starting, reducing the transition time from starting to normal operation, and optimizing hydrogen consumption, reducing overall energy consumption.

[0085] Furthermore, by judging whether the engine load meets the idle condition, it is helpful to accurately manage energy for the idle condition, avoid unnecessary waste of hydrogen, and maintain stable operation of the engine at idle, reducing engine wear and emissions. By determining that the engine load meets the idle condition, the injection state of the first intake nozzle is maintained, which can ensure stable operation of the engine at idle, avoid unstable phenomena such as engine jitter or flameout, reduce the complexity of control, and also help improve hydrogen utilization efficiency and reduce energy consumption at idle.

[0086] Under non-idling conditions, the present application will also determine the hydrogen demand flow rate according to the engine load, and judge whether the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the first threshold value. The hydrogen demand flow rate can be graded and judged, which provides a basis for the subsequent precise control of the hydrogen injection strategy, and helps to reasonably adjust the hydrogen supply mode under different hydrogen demand conditions, improve the hydrogen utilization efficiency, and ensure that the engine can operate stably under different working conditions. By determining that the hydrogen demand flow rate is less than the first threshold value, the injection state of the first intake nozzle is maintained, and the stable operation of the engine can be maintained when the hydrogen demand is low. There is no need to make complex adjustments to the hydrogen injection, which reduces the complexity of the control, and there is no need to add an additional set of electronically controlled hydrogen supply and pressure regulating devices, which avoids the engine operation instability factors that may be caused by frequent adjustments. By determining that the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the first threshold value, the first intake nozzle is closed and the second intake nozzle is started to spray the intake manifold and the intake valve, and the hydrogen injection mode can be adjusted in time according to the hydrogen demand flow rate, so as to better optimize the mixing of hydrogen and air, improve combustion efficiency, and reduce hydrogen waste. At the same time, it also helps to adjust the power output of the engine to adapt to different working conditions. By judging whether the hydrogen demand flow rate is greater than the second threshold, it is helpful to more accurately control the hydrogen supply under different hydrogen demand levels, further improve the hydrogen utilization efficiency, and achieve stable operation and good power output. By determining that the hydrogen demand flow rate is less than the second threshold, the injection state of the second intake nozzle is maintained, and hydrogen can be stably provided to the engine when the hydrogen demand is less than the second threshold, avoiding unnecessary adjustments and helping to maintain stable operation of the engine.
