Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular relates to an electronic throttle body. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of the electronic throttle is to receive the signal of the accelerator pedal position sensor through the electronic control unit (ECU), calculate the optimal throttle opening, and drive the throttle to the corresponding position through the motor. In this way, the engine intake volume can be accurately controlled, thereby optimizing combustion efficiency, improving power output, and reducing emissions. The advantages of the electronic throttle include improving fuel efficiency, improving power performance, improving emission performance, enhancing driving reliability, providing different working mode options, and altitude compensation.

[0003] Therefore, electronic throttle bodies are increasingly widely used, gradually replacing traditional mechanical throttle bodies.

[0004] The invention patent with authorization announcement number: CN102392742B discloses an electronic throttle body, wherein the throttle body is provided with a body limit block B, a body limit block A, a body limit mechanism A, and a body limit mechanism B, and the fan gear is provided with a fan gear limit block A, a fan gear limit block B, and a fan gear limit mechanism. When the fan gear reverses and the fan gear limit block A abuts the body limit block A, the throttle shaft is located in the fully open position, and when the fan gear rotates forward and the fan gear limit block B abuts the body limit block B, the throttle shaft is located in the low idle position; the torsion spring is composed of a left torsion spring and a right torsion spring connected by an intermediate end, the left torsion spring is fixed on the throttle body, and the right torsion spring is fixed on the fan gear, and the intermediate end is in contact with the fan gear limit mechanism and the body limit mechanism. In the natural state, the torque of the torsion spring 8 causes the throttle shaft 2 to be located in the high idle position. The rotation direction of the left torsion spring is opposite to that of the right torsion spring, the middle diameter of the left torsion spring is larger than that of the right torsion spring, a left torsion spring support leg is provided on the left torsion spring, a right torsion spring support leg is provided on the right torsion spring, and a middle end support leg is provided on the middle end; the left torsion spring support leg is in contact with the main body limiting mechanism A, the right torsion spring support leg is in contact with the fan gear limiting mechanism, and the middle end support leg is in contact with the fan gear limiting mechanism and the main body limiting mechanism B. The DC motor is installed on the throttle body through a wave washer and a three-hole pressure plate, the wave washer is installed on the rear end face of the DC motor, the three-hole pressure plate is fixed on the throttle body and sleeved on the front end face of the DC motor, the motor gear extends from the center hole of the three-hole pressure plate, and a limited support leg is provided on the three-hole pressure plate. The throttle shaft and the position sensor are connected by a flat groove elastic washer to form a tight fit. The position sensor is connected and fixed to the main body by a clamp.

[0005] From this, it can be seen that by setting two torsion springs with opposite rotation directions on the left and right, when one of the torsion springs fails, the other torsion spring can control the throttle plate to return to the high idle position, thereby improving safety.

[0006] This type of electronic throttle body is a common three-tooth direct-drive electronic throttle body. Although it improves combustion efficiency and power output during driving, it also has the following common problems: (1) A rich mixture needs to be provided when the car starts and accelerates. Since this type of three-tooth direct-drive electronic throttle body is used, although the door leaf steering can be effectively controlled, there is a time constraint after the ETC control system receives the sensor signal and then controls the actuator to perform motor operation through a series of system conversions. As a result, there is a lag in the door leaf being controlled to open when the car starts and accelerates. Therefore, the amount of air instantly inhaled into the engine is small, and when a large amount of oil is added to the engine, the gasoline is not fully burned, which not only reduces the engine performance but also increases fuel consumption. (2) Due to long-term use, although the air filter can effectively filter the air, there will be carbon deposits in the air outlet of the electronic throttle, especially in the wear-resistant area where the door leaf and the air outlet cooperate, which will cause the door leaf to become stuck, resulting in slow vehicle acceleration and insufficient power.

[0007] For this purpose, it is necessary to provide an electronic throttle body which can quickly open the door leaf on demand when the car starts and accelerates, and can alleviate the situation of carbon deposits blocking the door leaf. Summary of the invention

[0067] The stall angle judgment processing module divides the rotation opening of the throttle plate 3 corresponding to the accelerator pedal position into six levels, the sixth level is the lowest position of the accelerator pedal, corresponding to the maximum opening of the throttle plate 3, the first level is the highest position of the accelerator pedal, corresponding to the lowest opening of the throttle plate 3, and each level corresponds to the corresponding degree of reversal of the throttle plate 3. During the processing, when the vehicle speed starts from less than 20km / h or the pedal position is ≥ level 3, the pedal lowering position is directly judged by the stall angle judgment processing module, and the required angle P accumulated to the angle S after the judgment is calculated based on the current throttle plate 3 angle R, which is the stall judgment angle;

[0068] When executing the required P, the angle F given by the reversing adjustment mechanism is the angle E of the driving motor 17 at present to the angle U of the throttle plate 3 at this time, which is a more supplementary angle;

[0069] When the vehicle speed is greater than 20 km / h or the pedal position is less than level 3, the stall angle judgment processing module does not intervene in the processing, and the ETC control module control is the basic control method.

[0070] The steering speed control module 1 directly converts the supplementary angle into the required operating speed and steering of the drive motor 17, and the steering speed control module 2 directly converts the stall judgment angle into the required operating speed and steering of the motor 27.

[0071] Under such a control mode, the redundancy of the control operation of the motor 27 is reduced, so that when the drive motor 17 does not intervene in the opening execution, the motor 27 first executes the flipping of the throttle plate 3 when the vehicle starts and accelerates, and controls the drive motor 17 to follow up until the linkage rod 11 and the push-rotation rod 14 are in contact, effectively replenishing air to the engine, making the gasoline burn more completely and improving the engine performance.

[0072] See also Fig.14 The signal control module includes a pulse signal receiving module and a torque signal receiving module. The pulse signal receiving module is also used to convert the action pulse signal input by the encoder 1 21 and the encoder 2 31 into an action signal in real time. The torque signal receiving module is used to receive the torque signal input by the torque sensor 18 in real time and convert the torque signal into a torque value.

[0073] The pulse signal receiving module is connected to a point control conversion module, which is used to convert the action signal into a point control signal in real time. The point control conversion module and the torque signal receiving module are connected to an analysis and processing module, which is used to compare the torque value when the point hole signal occurs with the standard action torque threshold. The analysis and processing module is connected to a sub-segment control module, which performs sub-segment control on the operation of the suction pump 36 according to the changes in each comparison of the analysis and processing module.

[0074] The standard action torque threshold is the torque threshold output by the drive motor 17 when the throttle plate 3 and the slip ring 38 cooperate normally.

[0075] The signal input end of driver three is connected to the signal output pin of the secondary control module through a signal line, the main power input end of driver three is connected to the 5V power supply of the vehicle power distribution unit through a cable, and the power control output end of driver three is connected to the power controlled end of the suction pump 36 through a cable.

[0076] During the analysis process of the analysis and processing module, when the torque values ​​input together in 8 consecutive point control signals exceed the standard action torque threshold, an execution instruction will be issued to the sub-stage control module; after receiving the execution instruction, the sub-stage control module issues a control instruction to the third drive to control the suction pump 36 to run for 1 second and then stop; 3 minutes after the execution is completed, if the torque value exceeds the standard action torque threshold, the suction pump 36 is controlled to run for 2 seconds until the torque value does not exceed the standard action torque threshold within 3 minutes after the operation is completed.

[0077] In addition, the analysis and processing module also has a liquid level relay processing unit, and the signal input pin of the liquid level relay processing unit is connected to the transmission line of the micro liquid level sensor. When the liquid level relay processing unit obtains the liquid level signal, it will stop all execution instructions of the analysis and processing module.

[0078] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: under the control of the dynamic matching module, through the cooperation of the reversing adjustment mechanism, when the drive motor 17 does not respond to the driving action in time, the throttle shaft 2 can rotate without being restricted by the drive motor 17, and through the setting of the opening mechanism, the rotation angle of the free throttle shaft 2 is actively set to an opening degree, thereby reducing the redundancy of the motor 27 control operation, so that when the drive motor 17 does not intervene in the opening execution, the motor 27 first executes the flipping of the throttle plate 3 during the vehicle starting state and large refueling and acceleration, and controls the drive motor 17 to follow up until the linkage rod 11 and the push-rotation rod 14 are in contact, thereby effectively replenishing air to the engine, making the gasoline burn more fully and improving the engine performance.

[0079] Under the control of the signal control module, when the torque value uploaded by the torque sensor 18 exceeds the standard action torque threshold, the edge carbon deposit softening mechanism discharges the carbon deposit cleaning agent through the discharge port 39 to soften the carbon deposits at the end of the throttle plate 3 and the fitting place of the slip ring 38, thereby effectively alleviating the situation where the throttle plate 3 flips and gets stuck.

[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
