[0023] With reference to the drawings and the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts should fall within the scope of the present application.

[0024] It should be understood that the "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" mentioned throughout the specification means that the specific features, structures or characteristics related to the embodiment are included in at least one embodiment of the present application. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. In addition, these specific features, structures or characteristics can be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner.

[0025] In various embodiments of the present application, it should be understood that the size of the serial number of the following processes does not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of the processes should be determined according to its function and inherent logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present application.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a fuel supply control method, which comprises:

[0027] Step 101, when the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is higher than a preset oil quantity threshold, obtaining the idle duration of the auxiliary oil tank

[0028] The idle duration is the interval duration between the end time of the last fuel supply of the auxiliary oil tank and the current time.

[0029] The fuel supply control method provided by the embodiments of the present application is applicable to a vehicle provided with a main oil tank and an auxiliary oil tank.

[0030] After the vehicle is started, the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is monitored in real time or periodically. For example, the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank can be obtained by respectively installing an oil quantity sensor and other devices in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank, and compared with a preset oil quantity threshold. When the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is higher than the preset oil quantity threshold, it means that there is enough fuel reserve in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank, and both of them meet the basic condition of fuel supply.

[0031] When the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is higher than the preset oil quantity threshold, that is, the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank both meet the basic condition of fuel supply, the idle duration of the auxiliary oil tank is obtained. The idle duration is the interval duration between the end time of the last fuel supply of the auxiliary oil tank and the current time.

[0032] Step 102, determining whether the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition when the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank is greater than the preset duration threshold.

[0033] The idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank is compared with the preset duration threshold. Specifically, the preset duration threshold can be a time value that is set in advance according to the characteristics of the auxiliary fuel tank, the fuel supply demand of the engine, and the operation requirements of the overall system, and the like. For example, it can be set to 7 days. When the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank is greater than the preset duration threshold, it indicates that the auxiliary fuel tank has stopped supplying fuel for a long time, and at this time, it is necessary to further check whether it meets the fuel supply condition.

[0034] Step 103, determining the auxiliary fuel tank as a fuel supply tank when the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition.

[0035] When it is confirmed that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition, the auxiliary fuel tank is designated as a fuel supply tank.

[0036] Step 104, controlling the fuel supply tank to supply fuel to the engine.

[0037] After the auxiliary fuel tank is determined as a fuel supply tank, the fuel supply system of the vehicle will start the corresponding control mechanism to control the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank to be stably delivered to the engine according to the demand of the engine. In this process, the fuel supply amount is dynamically adjusted according to the real-time working condition of the engine to ensure that the engine can operate normally and efficiently.

[0038] In the embodiments of the present application, the fuel supply tank is determined according to the oil amounts of the main fuel tank and the auxiliary fuel tank and the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank and the like, which realizes the reasonable utilization of the main fuel tank and the auxiliary fuel tank. The problem of overuse caused by long-term supply of a single fuel tank is avoided, which helps to balance the wear and tear and loss of the two fuel tanks, and also can avoid the risk of expiration of the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank due to long-term non-use.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present application, determining whether the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition comprises:

[0040] obtaining an ambient temperature;

[0041] determining that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to a first preset temperature;

[0042] obtaining an engine water temperature when the ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature threshold;

[0043] determining that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition when the engine water temperature is higher than a second preset temperature threshold.

[0044] In the implementation process, the ambient temperature can be obtained by a temperature sensor installed at a suitable position outside the vehicle. The temperature sensor can sense the temperature change of the surrounding environment in real time and convert it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the fuel tank control system of the vehicle for subsequent analysis and processing. Further, when the ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it is determined that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition. Considering that the long-term placement of fuel at low temperature may affect the cold start of the vehicle, a critical temperature value, i.e., the first preset temperature, is set in advance according to the physical properties of fuel at different temperatures and the working requirements of the auxiliary fuel tank and the fuel supply system. The first preset temperature may be set to 25°C.

[0045] When the obtained ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, it can be preliminarily determined that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition. This is because under this temperature condition, the flow performance of fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank and the entire fuel supply system is relatively good, which can be smoothly delivered to the engine through the oil pump, oil pipe and other equipment, and there will be no obvious hindrance or failure in fuel supply due to low temperature.

[0046] When the ambient temperature is less than the first preset temperature threshold, the engine water temperature is further obtained, wherein the engine water temperature can be monitored by a water temperature sensor installed in the engine cooling system. The water temperature sensor is usually located in the cooling liquid circulation channel of the engine and can accurately sense the temperature change of the cooling liquid, thereby reflecting the working temperature condition of the engine. When the engine water temperature is higher than the second preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition.

[0047] The second preset temperature threshold can be set based on the fuel properties and the cooperative working requirements of the entire fuel supply system. When the ambient temperature is low, although the flowability of the fuel itself may be affected to a certain extent, if the engine water temperature is high, the temperature in the vicinity of the engine will be relatively high, which helps to improve the flow condition of the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank and the fuel supply system. For example, the second preset temperature threshold can be set to 80°C. When the engine water temperature is higher than 80°C, the heat emitted by the engine can heat the surrounding fuel and fuel supply pipeline to a certain extent, so that the fuel can flow relatively smoothly in the relatively low temperature environment, thereby meeting the fuel supply condition of the auxiliary fuel tank.

[0048] When the engine water temperature is higher than the second preset temperature threshold, even if the ambient temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, it can be determined that the auxiliary fuel tank meets the fuel supply condition. This is because the heat emitted by the engine can compensate for the adverse effects of low ambient temperature, ensuring the normal flow of fuel in the fuel supply system and ensuring that the auxiliary fuel tank can stably supply fuel to the engine.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application judge whether the auxiliary oil tank meets the oil supply condition by comprehensively considering the ambient temperature and the engine water temperature, so that the oil supply system can better adapt to various different temperature environments. It ensures that the auxiliary oil tank can provide stable fuel supply for the engine. It reduces the occurrence of fuel supply interruption or instability caused by temperature factors, and ensures the continuous and stable operation of the engine. By combining the engine water temperature to judge the oil supply condition, when the engine water temperature is high, the heat emitted by the engine can be used to improve the flow condition of the fuel, effectively avoiding the flow obstacles of the fuel caused by low temperature, ensuring that the fuel can be smoothly delivered from the auxiliary oil tank to the engine, and further enhancing the stability of fuel supply. By ensuring that the auxiliary oil tank supplies oil under suitable temperature conditions, no matter how the ambient temperature changes, the engine can be provided with continuous and stable fuel, thereby ensuring the stability of power output during vehicle driving, avoiding power interruption or instability caused by fuel supply problems.

[0050] In an optional embodiment of the present application, after judging whether the auxiliary oil tank meets the oil supply condition, the method further comprises:

[0051] When the auxiliary oil tank does not meet the oil supply condition, the main oil tank is determined as the oil supply tank.

[0052] In the specific implementation process, when it is determined that the auxiliary oil tank does not meet the oil supply condition, it means that the auxiliary oil tank cannot guarantee to stably and smoothly provide fuel for the engine due to the influence of temperature and other factors. For example, the ambient temperature may be too low and the engine water temperature may not reach the threshold value that can improve the flowability of the fuel, resulting in problems such as condensation and poor flow of the fuel in the auxiliary oil tank and related oil supply pipelines, which do not meet the requirements of normal oil supply. At this time, the main oil tank is determined as the oil supply tank.

[0053] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application can effectively avoid the interruption of engine fuel supply caused by the oil supply problem of the auxiliary oil tank by timely determining the main oil tank as the oil supply tank when the auxiliary oil tank does not meet the oil supply condition. The normal operation of the engine depends on continuous and stable fuel supply, and this switching mechanism ensures that there is always an oil tank that can provide the required fuel for the engine, maintaining the continuous operation of the engine, thereby ensuring the normal driving of the vehicle. In addition, the oil supply tank is flexibly determined according to the actual oil supply conditions of the auxiliary oil tank and the main oil tank, realizing the reasonable allocation and utilization of the resources of the two oil tanks. When the auxiliary oil tank can normally supply oil, it can undertake part of the oil supply task and share the pressure of the main oil tank; when the auxiliary oil tank does not meet the oil supply condition, the main oil tank timely replaces the oil supply task. Such allocation avoids the situation that one oil tank is overused and the other oil tank is idle, which helps to prolong the service life of the two oil tanks and related oil supply equipment, and improves the economy and practicality of the entire fuel supply system.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank is obtained by:

[0055] obtaining the end time of the last fuel supply of the auxiliary fuel tank;

[0056] determining the duration between the end time and the current time as the idle duration.

[0057] In the fuel supply control system of the vehicle, a corresponding monitoring and recording device is arranged to track the start and end of each fuel supply of the auxiliary fuel tank. When the auxiliary fuel tank is performing the fuel supply operation, the system can accurately perceive the start and end of the fuel supply behavior through the sensor (such as the flow sensor) on the fuel supply line or the control module associated with the fuel pump and other fuel supply devices. Once the auxiliary fuel tank stops fuel supply, the system records this moment as the end time of the last fuel supply. After obtaining the end time of the last fuel supply of the auxiliary fuel tank, the system obtains the information of the current time. Then, through simple time difference calculation, that is, subtracting the end time of the last fuel supply from the current time, the difference obtained is the duration between the end time of the last fuel supply of the auxiliary fuel tank and the current time, which is determined as the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank.

[0058] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application can provide important reference for subsequent decision on which fuel tank to supply fuel to the engine by accurately obtaining the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank. If the idle duration of the auxiliary fuel tank is long, it indicates that the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank is in a relatively static state during this period, and its physical properties (such as temperature uniformity, impurity deposition, etc.) may have changed. In this case, combined with other conditions (such as fuel tank fuel quantity, ambient temperature, etc.), it is determined whether to preferentially use the auxiliary fuel tank for fuel supply. The use frequency of the auxiliary fuel tank is appropriately increased to avoid the situation that the main fuel tank is excessively used while the auxiliary fuel tank is idle, thereby prolonging the service life of the two fuel tanks and related fuel supply devices and realizing the rational use of fuel tank resources. In addition, the long idle duration may affect the stability of the fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank. With the passage of time, the fuel may deteriorate, generate impurities, etc. due to factors such as temperature change and contact with air.

[0059] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the control of the fuel supply tank to supply fuel to the engine comprises:

[0060] controlling the oil pump corresponding to the fuel supply tank to be turned on.

[0061] In the fuel supply system of the vehicle, the main fuel tank and the auxiliary fuel tank are usually respectively provided with a dedicated oil pump. These oil pumps are key devices for delivering the fuel in the fuel tank to the engine. After determining the fuel supply tank, the oil pump corresponding to the fuel supply tank is controlled to be turned on. The control system of the vehicle can realize the turning-on operation of the oil pump by sending a control signal.

[0062] When the oil pump receives the control signal indicating the start, the starting components such as electromagnetic relays inside the oil pump act according to the instructions of the signal, so that the oil pump motor is connected to the power supply, thereby starting to operate. With the rotation of the oil pump motor, the mechanical structure inside the oil pump starts to work, and the fuel in the fuel tank is pumped out of the fuel tank and delivered to the fuel injection system of the engine through the oil pipe at a certain pressure to meet the fuel demand of the engine.

[0063] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application can ensure that the fuel can be delivered to the engine in time when the engine needs fuel at the critical moment.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0065] When the oil quantity of one of the main tank and the auxiliary tank is less than the preset oil quantity threshold, the tank with the oil quantity greater than the preset oil quantity threshold in the main tank and the auxiliary tank is determined as the oil supply tank.

[0066] Specifically, when the oil quantity of one of the main tank and the auxiliary tank is less than the preset oil quantity threshold, the tank with the oil quantity greater than the preset oil quantity threshold in the main tank and the auxiliary tank is determined as the oil supply tank. That is, if the oil quantity of the main tank is greater than the preset oil quantity threshold and the oil quantity of the auxiliary tank is less than the preset oil quantity threshold, the main tank will be determined as the oil supply tank; otherwise, if the oil quantity of the auxiliary tank is greater than the preset oil quantity threshold and the oil quantity of the main tank is less than the preset oil quantity threshold, the auxiliary tank will be determined as the oil supply tank. The purpose of this determination method is to ensure that the engine can obtain sufficient fuel supply at any time, and to avoid the situation that the engine suddenly stops due to insufficient fuel in the tank.

[0067] The above-mentioned embodiments of the present application can effectively prevent the engine from suddenly stopping due to insufficient fuel by timely determining the tank with the oil quantity greater than the preset oil quantity threshold in the main tank and the auxiliary tank as the oil supply tank. The rational allocation and utilization of the resources of the main tank and the auxiliary tank are realized. When one of the tanks has insufficient oil quantity, the tank with sufficient oil quantity is used preferentially to supply fuel, which avoids the problem of excessive consumption caused by continuing to use the tank with insufficient oil quantity, prolongs the service life of the two tanks and related oil supply equipment, and improves the economy and practicability of the entire fuel supply system.

[0068] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises:

[0069] When the oil quantity in the main tank and the auxiliary tank is less than the preset oil quantity threshold, the fuel indicator light is controlled to be turned on.

[0070] Specifically, when it is found that the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are both less than the preset oil quantity threshold, it indicates that the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are both insufficient, at this time, the fuel controller sends a control signal to the fuel indicator. After receiving the control signal, the circuit of the fuel indicator is turned on, and the fuel indicator is turned on. Generally, the fuel indicator is located on the instrument panel of the vehicle, which is eye-catching and convenient for the driver to observe during driving.

[0071] The above embodiment of the present application turns on the fuel indicator when the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are both less than the preset oil quantity threshold, so that the driver can reasonably plan the trip and find a nearby gas station as soon as possible to reduce the risk of running out of fuel on the road and ensure the smooth progress of the trip.

[0072] The overall implementation process of the embodiment of the present application is introduced as follows, as shown in Figure 2 , including:

[0073] Step 201, after the vehicle is started, the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are obtained.

[0074] Step 202, judge whether the oil quantity in the main oil tank is lower than the preset oil quantity threshold and whether the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank is lower than the preset oil quantity threshold. If the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are both lower than the preset oil quantity threshold, step 203 is executed; if one of the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank is lower than the preset oil quantity threshold, and the other is not lower than the preset oil quantity threshold, step 204 is executed; if the oil quantity in the main oil tank and the oil quantity in the auxiliary oil tank are both not lower than the preset oil quantity threshold, step 205 is executed.

[0075] Step 203, output alarm prompt.

[0076] Step 204, oil supply from the oil tank whose oil quantity is not lower than the preset oil quantity threshold.

[0077] Step 205, judge whether the idle time length of the auxiliary oil tank exceeds the preset time length threshold. If yes, step 206 is executed, otherwise step 207 is executed.

[0078] Step 206, judge whether the ambient temperature is greater than the first preset temperature threshold. If yes, step 209 is executed, otherwise step 208 is executed.

[0079] Step 207, main oil tank oil supply.

[0080] Step 208, judge whether the engine water temperature is greater than the second preset temperature threshold. If yes, step 209 is executed, otherwise step 207 is executed.

[0081] Step 209, auxiliary oil tank oil supply.

[0082] The above embodiments can reasonably determine the oil supply tank according to different oil amounts by monitoring and judging the oil amounts of the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank. When the oil amount in one of the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is not lower than the preset oil amount threshold, the oil tank supplies oil, so that the engine can still obtain stable fuel supply in the case that the oil amounts of the oil tanks are different, the situation that the engine suddenly stops due to insufficient oil amount of the oil tank is avoided, and the reliability of fuel supply is improved. In the case that the oil amounts of the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank are both not lower than the preset oil amount threshold, whether the main oil tank or the auxiliary oil tank supplies oil is determined by further considering factors such as the idle time length of the auxiliary oil tank, the environmental temperature, and the engine water temperature, so that different working conditions and environmental conditions can be better adapted to, and the stability and reliability of fuel supply are ensured. When the oil amounts of the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank are both lower than the preset oil amount threshold, an alarm prompt is output in time, so that the driver can be attracted to attention, and the driver can know in advance that the vehicle fuel is about to be exhausted. The oil supply tank is determined by comprehensively considering various factors, so that the situation that a single oil tank supplies oil for a long time is avoided, and the balanced use of the main oil tank and the auxiliary oil tank is achieved. This helps to reduce the excessive wear of a single oil tank and related oil supply equipment, prolong the service life of the oil tank and the oil supply equipment, improve the economy and practicability of the entire fuel supply system, and can also effectively avoid the hidden danger of expiration of fuel in the auxiliary oil tank due to long-term non-use.

[0083] The above introduces the oil supply control method provided by the embodiments of the present application, and the oil supply control device provided by the embodiments of the present application will be introduced below in combination with the drawings.
