Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of engine technology, and in particular to a method and a related device for detecting air leakage in an engine intake pipe. Background Art

[0002] Leakage in the engine intake pipe will reduce the amount of air entering the engine. If the leakage in the engine intake pipe is not diagnosed in time, it will cause the engine combustion to deteriorate and quickly clog the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter), resulting in problems such as increased engine fuel consumption and insufficient power. In severe cases, it will cause the DPF to fall out or burn out.

[0003] In order to avoid the above-mentioned problems caused by air leakage in the air intake line, the prior art adopts the method of calculating and comparing the deviation between the actual air intake pressure of the engine air intake line and the set air intake pressure to diagnose air leakage in the air intake line. However, in this air leakage diagnosis method, the set air intake pressure is calibrated during the bench test stage, ignoring the fact that the supercharger cannot maintain consistent performance under all working conditions, and the natural deviation of the set air intake pressure caused by changes in the external environment, resulting in inaccurate diagnostic results of the air leakage diagnosis method in the prior art. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present application provides a method and related device for detecting air leakage in the engine intake pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately diagnosing whether the engine intake pipe is leaking. The specific scheme is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a method for detecting air leakage in an engine intake pipe, which is applied to an electronic control unit. The method comprises:

[0046] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the implementation method section of the present application are only used to explain the specific embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0047] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0048] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and need not be used to describe a specific order or sequential order. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, which is only to describe the distinction mode adopted by the objects of the same attributes when describing in the embodiments of the present application. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that the process, method, system, product or equipment comprising a series of units need not be limited to those units, but may include other units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0049] The intake pipe is an important part of the engine. It is mainly responsible for delivering air to the combustion chamber of the engine. When the intake pipe leaks, a series of adverse effects will occur:

[0050] Power loss: Because the engine cannot normally inhale enough air, the ratio of fuel to air is unbalanced, resulting in reduced fuel efficiency and insufficient engine power.

[0051] Difficulty in starting: Leakage in the engine intake pipe will cause the combustible mixture to become thin, making it difficult to reach the concentration required for starting, so it will be difficult to start the vehicle where the engine is located.

[0052] Unstable idle speed: Leakage in the intake pipe and changes in the internal pressure of the engine will make the mixture too lean or uneven, resulting in unstable engine idle speed, fluctuating up and down.

[0053] Increased fuel consumption: In order to maintain normal power output, an engine with air leakage in the intake pipe will increase the amount of fuel injection.

[0054] Increased risk of engine damage: Long-term intake line leakage can cause excessive wear on internal engine parts, increasing repair costs and the risk of engine failure.

[0055] The adverse effects caused by air leakage in the engine intake pipe include but are not limited to those described above. In order to solve the above problems, the prior art uses a method of comparing the deviation between the actual intake pressure of the engine intake pipe and the set intake pressure to diagnose whether the intake pipe is leaking. However, the set intake pressure is calibrated during the bench test stage, resulting in inaccurate diagnostic results of the prior art leakage diagnosis method.

[0056] In addition, the air intake pipe leakage detection method in the prior art can only be performed under stable working conditions, which is a relatively harsh condition. Therefore, there is a situation where the vehicle cannot meet the detection conditions and the leakage cannot be discovered in time.

[0057] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a method and related device for detecting air leakage in an engine intake pipe.

[0058] Optional, see Figure 1 , a flow chart of a method for detecting air leakage in an engine intake pipe provided by the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method for detecting air leakage in the engine intake pipe includes the following steps:

[0059] Step 101: Obtain engine speed and engine torque.

[0060] It should be noted that this specific embodiment is applied to an electronic control unit (ECU), and the ECU has fast response and precise control.

[0061] Optionally, the ECU can obtain the engine speed and torque through a variety of sensors.

[0062] Specifically, the ECU can obtain engine speed and torque information through the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft position sensor, throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor and other auxiliary sensors.

[0063] Step 102: When the engine speed, the engine torque and the valve state of the exhaust gas recirculation system meet the leakage detection conditions, the engine theoretical intake flow rate is determined according to the engine speed, the intercooler intake pressure, the intercooler intake temperature and the engine displacement.

[0064] It should be noted that the leakage detection conditions are that the engine is in normal operation and the engine speed reaches a preset speed threshold, the engine torque reaches a preset torque threshold, and all valves of the exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR, Exhaust GasRecirculation) are in a closed state.

[0065] Specifically, the preset speed threshold may be set as n1, and the preset torque threshold may be set as T1. It should be noted that the requirement that the engine speed and torque must exceed the preset threshold is because if the engine speed and torque are too small, the result will be greatly deviated. The EGR valve must be completely closed because if the EGR valve is opened, it will affect the calculation of the charging efficiency, and the calculated charging efficiency will be low, and the calculation result of the charging efficiency will be different due to different EGR openings.

[0066] It should also be noted that the intake pressure and intake temperature of the intercooler can be obtained through the intake temperature sensor and the intake pressure sensor, and can also be directly obtained through the temperature and pressure sensor. The intake temperature sensor and the intake pressure sensor, or the temperature and pressure sensor are generally installed on the intake pipe after the intercooler; the engine displacement can be obtained through information such as the vehicle's year, manufacturer, model, and the OEM part number on the engine ECU.

[0067] The theoretical intake air flow of the engine mainly refers to the theoretical intake air flow of MAF (Mass Air Flow, intake air flow sensor). MAF sensor is one of the important components of the engine, mainly used to measure the fresh intake air flow of the engine and send the measured data to ECU to control a series of controls such as fuel injection amount and smoke correction.

[0068] In the present application, the theoretical intake air flow is calculated in real time based on the engine speed, the intercooler intake air pressure, the intercooler intake air temperature and the engine displacement.

[0069] Specifically, the calculation formula of the theoretical intake air flow rate can be:

[0070] Theoretical engine intake flow = preset calculation coefficient × engine speed × engine displacement × intercooler intake pressure / intercooler intake temperature;

[0071] Among them, the preset calculation coefficient can be 0.03×0.3484, so the calculation formula of the above theoretical intake air flow rate can be:

[0072] Theoretical engine intake flow = 0.03 × 0.3484 × engine speed × engine displacement × intercooler intake pressure / (intercooler intake temperature + 273.15).

[0073] Optionally, when the engine is in normal operating mode, and the engine speed reaches a preset speed threshold, the engine torque reaches a preset torque threshold and all valves of the exhaust gas recirculation system are closed, the engine theoretical intake flow is calculated based on the real-time acquired engine speed, intercooler intake pressure, intercooler intake temperature and engine displacement.

[0074] Step 103: Determine the engine charging efficiency using the actual engine intake flow rate and the engine theoretical intake flow rate.

[0075] The actual intake flow rate of the engine corresponds to the theoretical intake flow rate of the engine, which is obtained by real-time measurement of the MAF.

[0076] The calculation formula of engine charging efficiency can be:

[0077] Engine charging efficiency = engine actual intake flow rate / engine theoretical intake flow rate.

[0078] Optionally, the engine charging efficiency is calculated using the above-mentioned calculation formula for the engine charging efficiency.

[0079] Step 104: Use the power accumulation window method to process the engine charging efficiency to obtain an average charging efficiency.

[0080] The processing flow of the power accumulation window method mainly includes:

[0081] The engine power is determined by the engine speed and the engine torque. The engine power may be calculated by the following formula: engine power = engine speed × engine torque / 9550.

[0082] The engine powers are accumulated to obtain a power accumulation value, and at the same time, the engine charging efficiencies are accumulated to obtain a charging efficiency accumulation value.

[0083] When the accumulated value of the engine power reaches a preset power threshold, the average value of the accumulated value of the charging efficiency is calculated to obtain the average value of the charging efficiency. The preset power threshold is a preset accumulated limit value.

[0084] It should be noted that the power accumulation window method, which first accumulates and then calculates the average value of the inflation efficiency, can further improve the accuracy of the diagnosis result.

[0085] Optionally, the engine power is calculated and accumulated, and at the same time, the engine charging power is accumulated until the engine power accumulated value reaches a preset accumulation limit, and the average value of the engine charging power accumulated value during the accumulation period is calculated.

[0086] Step 105, determine whether the average value of the charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit. When the average value of the charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit, determine that the engine intake pipe is leaking; when the average value of the charging efficiency does not exceed the preset charging efficiency limit, determine that the engine intake pipe is not leaking.

[0087] It should be noted that the charging efficiency during normal engine operation is generally between 0.86 and 0.96. When the engine intake line leaks, MAF will count the leaked intake volume into the actual intake volume of the engine, which results in the actual measured value of MAF being higher than the actual intake volume entering the engine. However, the theoretical intake volume is calculated based on the actual measurement data collected from the intake temperature and pressure sensor on the engine, and the collected results are not affected by the intake line leak. It is understandable that if the engine intake line leaks, the average value of the charging efficiency will be greater than when there is no leak.

[0088] For example, see Figure 2 , the present application provides a comparison diagram of the charging efficiency under the normal state of the engine intake pipe and the state of the engine intake pipe leaking. Figure 2 It can be seen that the charging efficiency of the engine intake pipe under normal conditions is about 1, and the charging efficiency when the engine intake pipe is leaking is higher than the charging efficiency under normal conditions.

[0089] Therefore, the preset charging efficiency limit value can be set to 1. If the average value of the charging efficiency is greater than 1, it is determined that the intake pipe is leaking. If the average value of the charging efficiency is less than 1, it is determined that the intake pipe is not leaking.

[0090] Optionally, when the average value of the charging efficiency exceeds a preset charging efficiency limit, it is determined that the intake pipeline is leaking; otherwise, it is determined that there is no leakage.

[0091] Optional, see Figure 3 , a schematic diagram of the connection of detection devices for the engine intake pipe leakage detection method provided in the present application.

[0092] Among them, ECU is an electronic control unit, which is mainly responsible for obtaining data from various devices, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the ECU can obtain the intake temperature and pressure of the intercooler from the temperature and pressure sensor, and the actual intake flow of the engine from the MAF. In addition, the ECU can also obtain data such as engine speed, engine displacement, and the valve status of the EGR system from other sensors.

[0093] In summary, the present application provides a method for detecting air leakage in the engine intake pipe, after the engine speed, engine torque and valve status of the exhaust gas recirculation system meet the air leakage detection conditions, the engine speed, intercooler intake pressure, intercooler intake temperature and engine displacement are used to calculate the theoretical intake flow of the engine, the engine charging efficiency is calculated based on the actual intake flow of the engine and the theoretical intake flow, and the engine charging power is processed in a power accumulation window manner to obtain the average charging efficiency. Finally, it is determined whether the average charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit. When the average charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit, it is determined that the engine intake pipe is leaking, otherwise, there is no leakage. The present application uses various parameters obtained in real time to calculate the engine's charging efficiency in real time. Compared with the method of calculating and judging by calibrated parameters in the known technology, it has high accuracy, and the engine charging power is processed in a power accumulation window manner, which further improves the accuracy of air leakage detection.

[0094] For example, see Figure 4 , an example flow chart of a method for detecting air leakage in an engine intake line provided in the present application.

[0095] like Figure 4 As shown, the prerequisite for performing engine intake pipe leakage detection in the present application is that the engine is in normal operating state, the EGR valve is fully closed, the speed is greater than n1, and the torque is greater than T1. When these prerequisites are met, it is possible to detect in real time whether the engine intake pipe is leaking.

[0096] ECU will obtain the speed, intercooler intake pressure, intercooler intake temperature and displacement, and calculate the MAF theoretical intake flow based on these parameters, and at the same time obtain the MAF actual intake flow. Calculate the ratio of the actual intake flow of MAF to the theoretical intake flow of MAF to obtain the charging efficiency, and accumulate the charging efficiency; at the same time, calculate the engine power based on the speed and torque, and accumulate the engine power until the accumulated value of the engine power reaches the limit a. At this time, calculate the average value of the accumulated value of the charging efficiency to obtain the average value b, and judge whether the average value b is greater than the limit c. When the average value b is greater than the limit c, diagnose that the engine intake pipe is leaking. When the average value is less than the limit c, diagnose that the engine intake pipe is not leaking.

[0097] In summary, the present application calculates the charging efficiency through real-time measurement of parameters such as the intake pressure of the intercooler and the intake temperature of the intercooler, thereby improving the accuracy of the diagnostic results, eliminating the false detection caused by the natural deviation caused by the consistency of the supercharger and the difference in external environmental pressure, and reducing the market failure rate. In addition, the power accumulation window method is used for diagnosis, which reduces false detection and improves the credibility of the test results. In addition, the engine intake pipe leakage detection method of the present application has relatively low requirements for diagnostic conditions, and can perform real-time diagnosis, detect leakage in time, and avoid DPF blockage, burning, detachment and other temperatures caused by the inability to detect leakage in time.

[0098] A method for detecting air leakage in an engine air intake line provided in an embodiment of the present application is introduced above. A device for executing the above method for detecting air leakage in an engine air intake line will be introduced below.

[0099] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 The present invention provides a schematic diagram of a gas leakage detection device for an engine intake pipe according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 As shown, the gas leakage detection device for the engine intake pipe includes an acquisition unit 10, a first determination unit 20, a second determination unit 30, a processing unit 40 and a judgment unit 50, wherein:

[0103] The processing unit 40 is used to process the engine charging efficiency by using a power accumulation window method to obtain an average charging efficiency;

[0104] The judgment unit 50 is used to judge whether the average value of the charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit. When the average value of the charging efficiency exceeds the preset charging efficiency limit, it is judged that the engine intake pipe is leaking; when the average value of the charging efficiency does not exceed the preset charging efficiency limit, it is judged that the engine intake pipe is not leaking.

[0105] In one embodiment, the gas leakage detection condition in the first determination unit 20 is that the engine speed reaches a preset speed threshold, the engine torque reaches a preset torque threshold, and all valves of the exhaust gas recirculation system are in a closed state.

[0106] In one embodiment, the calculation formula of the engine theoretical intake air flow rate in the first determination unit 20 is:

[0107] Theoretical engine intake flow = preset calculation coefficient × engine speed × engine displacement × intercooler intake pressure / intercooler intake temperature.

[0108] In one implementation, the engine charging efficiency in the second determination unit 30 is a ratio of an actual intake flow rate of the engine to a theoretical intake flow rate of the engine.

[0109] In one implementation, the processing unit 40 is specifically configured to:

[0110] The engine speed and the engine torque are used to determine the engine power;
