[0037] For the convenience of description, some nouns or terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below:
[0038] Range extender: It consists of an engine and a starter-generator motor. The engine is connected to the starter-generator motor through a mechanical connection. The engine shaft system drives the motor shaft system to work, and the starter-generator motor generates electricity externally. The starter-generator motor can generate electricity and can also be used as an electric motor. The engine starter in the range extender relies on the starter-generator motor to start. The engine in the range extender has no mechanical connection with the vehicle's transmission system, and is separated from the road slope load excitation. After the engine starts, it always runs in the high-efficiency area.
[0039] Starting mode: The starter motor reverses the engine speed to a certain speed, the starter motor gradually withdraws, the engine starts to spray fuel, and finally the engine starts. The starting process refers to the continuous process from the start of the engine crankshaft to the start of fuel injection.
[0040] As introduced in the background technology, during the starting process of the existing range extender, the engine jitter affects the comfort of the whole vehicle passengers when the starting-up motor is in the stage of reverse towing the engine. In order to solve the problem that during the starting process of the existing range extender, the engine jitter affects the comfort of the whole vehicle passengers when the starting-up motor is in the stage of reverse towing the engine, the embodiments of the present application provide an engine starting control method, device, computer-readable storage medium and electronic device.
[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0042] In this embodiment, a control method for starting an engine running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0043] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling engine starting according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:
[0044] Step S201, during the process of starting the range extender system, when it is determined that the engine speed is zero, controlling the small piston of the decompression rocker arm of the engine valve mechanism to extend, the range extender system comprising an engine, a starter-in-one motor and the engine valve mechanism, when the small piston of the decompression rocker arm extends, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm contacts the valve of the engine valve mechanism, so as to decompress the engine compression cylinder;
[0045] The starting process of the range extender can be divided into two processes. The first process is that the starter motor quickly drags the engine to a certain speed. In the reverse dragging stage, the residual gas in the cylinder of the engine is compressed during the compression stroke to produce a high cylinder pressure peak, causing engine vibration and poor comfort for the vehicle's drivers and passengers. In the second stage, the engine ignition stage, the starter motor gradually exits, and the engine tries to ignite on its own until the range extender shaft system speed stabilizes.
[0046] Among them, the structural diagram of the engine valve mechanism is as follows Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a cam 1, a rocker arm structure 2, a valve structure, an engine control structure and a valve clearance compensation structure 7, the valve clearance compensation structure 7 is arranged between the rocker arm structure 2 and the valve structure, the rocker arm structure 2 includes an exhaust rocker arm 2-2, a decompression rocker arm small piston 2-3, and a brake rocker arm 2-1, the cam 1 is in contact with one end of the brake rocker arm 2-1, the other end of the brake rocker arm 2-1 is integrated with the exhaust rocker arm 2-2, and the other end of the exhaust rocker arm 2-2 is connected to the valve structure through the valve clearance compensation structure 7. The valve structure includes a valve bridge 3, a valve spring 4, a valve 5 and a cylinder head 6.
[0047] Among them, a small motor is used to control the driving mechanism to ensure the extension and retraction of the small piston of the pressure reducing rocker arm.
[0048] Step S202, when it is determined that the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is extended, power is supplied to the starting-integrated motor so as to reversely drag the engine with the starting-integrated motor to increase the engine speed, and when it is detected that the engine speed is greater than a first preset engine speed, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is controlled to retract;
[0049] Specifically, during the engine starting process, when the starter-in-one motor is in the stage of reversely dragging the engine, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm extends, allowing an exhaust valve to open during the compression stroke and the expansion stroke, releasing the compression pressure in the cylinder. In this way, the pressure in the cylinder is greatly reduced, reducing the load on moving parts such as the crankshaft and the piston, and reducing the friction torque of the engine. At the same time, the starter-in-one motor has a high speed, and starts quickly and smoothly, achieving decompression starting, improving the comfort of the vehicle's drivers and passengers, and reducing energy consumption.
[0050] Step S203, when it is detected that the engine speed is greater than the second preset engine speed, the engine fuel injection ignition is controlled, and when the engine ignition is successful, the torque of the starter-in-one motor is adjusted according to the preset torque unloading strategy, and when the torque of the starter-in-one motor is adjusted to the preset torque, the engine starting is completed, wherein the second preset engine speed is greater than the first preset engine speed.
[0051] Through this embodiment, during the start-up process of the range extender system, and when it is determined that the engine speed is zero, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm of the engine valve mechanism is controlled to extend, and the range extender system includes an engine, an integrated starting motor and an engine valve mechanism. When the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is extended, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm contacts the valve of the engine valve mechanism to decompress the engine compression cylinder; when it is determined that the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is extended, the integrated starting motor is powered to use the integrated starting motor to reverse the engine to increase the engine speed, and when it is detected that the engine speed is greater than a first preset engine speed, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is controlled to retract; when it is detected that the engine speed is greater than a second preset engine speed, the engine fuel injection ignition is controlled, and when the engine ignition is successful, the torque of the integrated starting motor is adjusted according to the preset torque unloading strategy, and when the torque of the integrated starting motor is adjusted to the preset torque, the engine starting is completed, wherein the second preset engine speed is greater than the first preset engine speed. By controlling the exhaust valve to open during the compression stroke and expansion stroke and releasing the compression pressure in the cylinder to achieve decompression starting, the range extender starts quickly and smoothly, improving the NVH comfort of the vehicle and reducing energy consumption. This solves the problem of engine shaking during the engine reverse dragging stage of the starter-generator motor during the starting process of the existing range extender, which causes comfort to the vehicle's drivers and passengers.
[0052] During the specific implementation process, the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor is adjusted according to a preset torque unloading strategy, and the engine starting is completed when the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor is adjusted to the preset torque, including: adjusting the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor to a first torque according to a step torque unloading strategy, wherein the step torque unloading strategy is a control strategy in which the torque decreases stepwise over time; when it is determined that the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor reaches the above-mentioned first torque, adjusting the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor to the above-mentioned preset torque using a linear torque unloading strategy, wherein the linear torque unloading strategy is a control strategy in which the torque decreases linearly stepwise over time; when it is determined that the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starter motor reaches the above-mentioned preset torque, it is determined that the above-mentioned engine starting operation is completed.
[0053] The step-by-step unloading method means that during the unloading process, the motor torque is gradually reduced in a step-by-step manner. The linear unloading strategy means that the motor torque gradually decreases linearly over time, quickly reducing the torque and reducing the entire starting process time.
[0054] Specifically, when it is determined that the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor reaches the above-mentioned first torque, a linear torque unloading strategy is adopted to adjust the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor to the above-mentioned preset torque, including: when it is determined that the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor reaches the above-mentioned first torque, determining the running time for the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor to reach the above-mentioned first torque; when it is determined that the above-mentioned running time reaches a first preset time period, determining whether the torque fluctuation of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor is less than the fluctuation setting value; when the torque fluctuation of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor is less than the above-mentioned fluctuation setting value, a linear torque unloading strategy is adopted to adjust the torque of the above-mentioned integrated starting motor to the above-mentioned preset torque.
[0055] The step-by-step unloading of the method means that during the unloading process, the motor torque is gradually reduced in a step-by-step manner and then remains stable for a period of time (a first preset time period). The first preset time period is set to more precisely control the exit timing of the motor.
[0056] More specifically, the linear torque unloading strategy is used to adjust the torque of the starting motor to the preset value.
[0057] λ= oh max -oh min
[0058] Before the torque, the above method also includes: using the formula: ω m , evaluate the speed fluctuation stability of the above engine, where λ is the speed fluctuation stability, ω max is the maximum speed fluctuation, ω min is the minimum value of speed fluctuation, ω mA difference is preset for the speed fluctuation; and according to the speed fluctuation stability, it is determined whether to use the linear torque unloading strategy to adjust the torque of the starter motor. The method determines whether the engine has been started smoothly by evaluating the speed fluctuation stability of the engine.
[0059] Furthermore, the first preset engine speed is determined based on the ambient temperature, the altitude, the coolant temperature, the oil temperature, the motor rotor moment of inertia, the motor efficiency curve and the battery power of the whole vehicle; the second preset engine speed is determined based on the ambient temperature, the altitude, the coolant temperature, the oil temperature, the engine air intake and the fuel injection amount.
[0060] The first preset engine speed of the method is the initial speed of the engine starting. The first preset engine speed is dynamically adjusted and corrected based on the first preset engine speed initial value, taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, oil temperature, motor rotor moment of inertia, motor efficiency curve, and vehicle battery power to adapt to different starting conditions. The first preset engine speed initial value is based on the friction work data of the engine bench at normal temperature, and finds the crankshaft speed when the starter can easily drag the engine and the starter efficiency is high.
[0061] The second preset engine speed is the critical value for the engine speed to reach the injection ignition. The second preset engine speed is dynamically adjusted and corrected based on the second preset engine speed initial value, taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, oil temperature, intake air volume, fuel injection volume, etc., to achieve a better starting effect. The second preset engine speed initial value is to find the minimum crankshaft speed for stable engine combustion by considering the combustion characteristics of the engine bench engine at normal temperature.
[0062] Specifically, when it is detected that the engine speed is greater than the first preset engine speed, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is controlled to retract, including: detecting the engine speed after a second preset time period; when the engine speed is greater than the first preset engine speed, controlling the small piston of the decompression rocker arm to retract.
[0063] More specifically, the second preset time period is determined according to the ambient temperature, the altitude, the coolant temperature and the engine oil temperature.
[0064] The second preset time period of the method is dynamically adjusted and corrected based on the initial value of the second preset time period, taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, and oil temperature. When the engine speed is detected to be greater than the first preset engine speed after the second preset time period, it indicates that the compression pressure in the cylinder is released, and the small piston of the decompression rocker arm is controlled to retract.
[0065] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the implementation process of the engine starting control method of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0066] This embodiment relates to a specific engine starting control method, which specifically includes the following contents:
[0067] The starting process of the range extender can be divided into two processes. The first process is that the starter motor quickly drags the engine to a certain speed. In the reverse dragging stage, the residual gas in the cylinder of the engine is compressed during the compression stroke to produce a high cylinder pressure peak, causing engine vibration and poor comfort for the vehicle's drivers and passengers. In the second stage, the engine ignition stage, the starter motor gradually exits, and the engine tries to ignite on its own until the range extender shaft system speed stabilizes.
[0068] The resistance torque during the engine starting process includes the gas torque generated by the gas in the cylinder, the inertia torque generated by the piston-connecting rod system, and the friction torque generated by the main bearing, piston-cylinder sleeve sliding pair, connecting rod bearing, gear bearing and other moving pairs. During the engine compression stroke, the gas torque in the cylinder hinders the rotation of the shaft system. The greater the compression ratio of the engine piston, the greater the resistance torque generated by the compressed gas during the compression stroke. The farther the piston is from the compression top dead center, the longer the compression stroke, the greater the peak cylinder pressure in the first cycle, and the greater the vehicle shake. During the starting process, the lower the ambient temperature, the lower the coolant temperature, and the lower the oil temperature when the engine is reversed, the greater the resistance torque.
[0069] This embodiment proposes a decompression starting strategy for the range extender. During the engine starting process, when the motor is in the stage of reversely dragging the engine, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm extends to achieve the opening of an exhaust valve during the compression stroke and the expansion stroke, releasing the compression pressure in the cylinder. In this way, the pressure in the cylinder is greatly reduced, the load on moving parts such as the crankshaft and the piston is reduced, the friction resistance torque of the engine is reduced, and decompression starting is achieved.
[0070] Among them, the principle of pressure relief is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the decompression function is realized by extending the small piston of the decompression rocker arm to actively open the exhaust valve. During the compression stroke and expansion stroke, the exhaust valve opens, and the work done by the engine to compress the air in the cylinder is released into the exhaust system. There is no energy to back-press the piston during the expansion stroke, thus realizing the decompression function.
[0071] Among them, the exhaust valve control method is as follows Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown in Table 1, the exhaust valve opens during the compression stroke and the expansion stroke, and a pit is machined on the matching piston to ensure that there is a certain distance between the exhaust valve and the piston at the compression top dead center to avoid collision failure.
[0072] Table 1
[0073]
[0074] Figure 6 It is a control logic diagram of a specific engine starting control method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the specific steps include:
[0075] Step 1: Determine whether the engine speed is zero. If it is zero, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm of the engine valve mechanism extends, the starting and starting integrated motor is powered, and the starting and starting integrated motor reverses the engine, and the reverse dragging duration is a set value 1;
[0076] Step 2: Determine whether the engine speed is greater than a set value 2. If it is greater than the set value 2, the small piston of the decompression rocker arm of the engine valve mechanism is retracted;
[0077] Step 3: The starter motor reverses the engine speed to the set value 3; the engine attempts to inject fuel and ignite; the starter motor torque gradually unloads using strategy 4, and after waiting for the set time 5, determines whether the engine speed fluctuation is less than the set value 6. If it is less than the set value 6, the starter motor torque quickly unloads using strategy 7, and the engine starts successfully; otherwise, adjust the torque unloading strategy 4 again and repeat the above steps.
[0078] The comparison of engine cylinder pressure curve is shown in the figure below: Figure 7 As shown, the use of this embodiment can reduce the cylinder pressure by 40%, reduce engine vibration and improve the NVH comfort of the whole vehicle. Reduce the load on the crankshaft-piston and other moving parts, reduce the engine starting torque, and shorten the starting time by about 30% under laboratory conditions. The engine starting time comparison chart is shown in Figure 8 As shown, the starting resistance torque is reduced, and the energy consumption of the battery caused by frequent starting of the starter-generator motor is reduced; the subjective NVH evaluation of the whole vehicle is improved from obvious shaking and impact to very slight.
[0079] The control strategy of this embodiment integrates multiple parameters to construct an intelligent control pressure reduction starting strategy. Figure 6 The parameter setting values are not necessarily fixed. Through the accumulation of vehicle operating condition data, the setting values can be adaptively adjusted to make the strategy more in line with actual usage and improve starting efficiency and comfort.
[0080] in, Figure 6 The setting time 1 in the dynamic adjustment correction algorithm is as follows Fig. 9 As shown: Based on the initial value, dynamic adjustment and correction are performed taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, and oil temperature.
[0081] The dynamic adjustment and correction algorithm for the initial engine start speed is as follows: Fig.10As shown: The preset value of engine speed 2 is dynamically adjusted and corrected based on the initial value, taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, oil temperature, motor rotor moment of inertia, motor efficiency curve, and vehicle battery power to adapt to different starting conditions.
[0082] The initial value of the engine speed 2 is based on the friction work data of the engine bench at normal temperature, and is used to find the crankshaft speed when the starter can easily drag the engine and the starter efficiency is high.
[0083] Engine speed setting value 3: The engine speed reaches the critical value for injection ignition and is greater than engine speed 2.
[0084] The preset value of engine speed 3 is dynamically adjusted and corrected based on the initial value, taking into account parameters such as ambient temperature, altitude, coolant temperature, oil temperature, intake air volume, fuel injection volume, etc., to achieve a better starting effect. The dynamic adjustment correction algorithm of speed 3 is set as follows: Fig.11 shown.
[0085] The initial value of the engine speed 3 is the minimum crankshaft speed for stable combustion of the engine, which is obtained by considering the combustion characteristics of the engine on the engine bench at normal temperature.
[0086] Torque unloading strategy 4 is a step-by-step unloading strategy. Step-by-step unloading means that during the unloading process, the motor torque gradually decreases in a step-by-step manner and then remains stable for a period of time (set time 5). Setting time 5 is to more precisely control the exit timing of the motor. Torque unloading strategy 7 is a linear unloading strategy. The linear unloading strategy means that the motor torque gradually decreases linearly over time, quickly reducing the torque and reducing the entire starting process time. The schematic diagram of the torque unloading of the starter motor is shown in Fig.12 shown.
[0087] The engine speed fluctuation set value 6 is used to determine whether the engine has started smoothly, from the crankshaft speed sensor signal in the engine electronic control unit, using the formula: Accurately judge the stability of engine speed fluctuations, where ω max is the maximum speed fluctuation, ω min is the minimum value of speed fluctuation, ω m Preset differential value for speed fluctuations.
[0088] This embodiment is applicable to range extender products containing multi-cylinder engines, with little change to the engine body structure. By controlling the exhaust valve to open during the compression stroke and the expansion stroke to release the compression pressure in the cylinder, the range extender starts quickly and smoothly, improving the NVH comfort of the entire vehicle and reducing power consumption.
[0089] This embodiment adds a decompression rocker arm, which makes little change to the range extender engine body structure; in addition, it reduces the load on the crankshaft-piston and other moving parts, reduces the engine starting torque, shortens the starting time by 30%, and reduces the electric energy consumption of the motor; and the pressure in the cylinder is greatly reduced, reducing the engine vibration and improving the comfort of the whole vehicle. By reducing the compression pressure peak of the reverse engine by 40%, the friction work of the crankshaft-piston and other moving parts is reduced, so as to reduce the vibration during the engine starting process, improve the comfort of the whole vehicle, shorten the starting time by 30%, and reduce the electric energy consumption of the motor; the subjective NVH evaluation of the whole vehicle is improved from obvious vibration impact to very slight.
