[0029] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the implementation methods of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The present application provides a method for controlling an engine. Figure 1, which shows a schematic diagram of the implementation environment of the method provided in the embodiment of the present application. The implementation environment may include: ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 11, speed sensor 12, intake manifold absolute pressure sensor 13, position sensor 14, first temperature sensor 15, second temperature sensor 16, throttle position sensor 17, front oxygen sensor 18, fuel injection system 19, ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) system 20, throttle actuator 21 and motor 22.

[0031] For example, the speed sensor 12 is used to obtain the speed of the engine before stopping and send it to the ECU 11, wherein the speed sensor 12 can be installed on the crankshaft or the flywheel. The intake manifold absolute pressure sensor 13 is used to measure the intake pressure of the engine and send it to the ECU 11, and the ECU 11 calculates the load of the engine according to the intake pressure, wherein the intake manifold absolute pressure sensor 13 can be installed upstream of the intake manifold and close to the throttle position.

The oxygen concentration is used to calculate the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine, and based on the air-fuel ratio, it is determined whether the intake amount of the engine reaches the intake amount required during the engine shutdown process.

[0035] Among them, ECU 11, speed sensor 12, intake manifold absolute pressure sensor 13, position sensor 14, first temperature sensor 15, second temperature sensor 16, throttle position sensor 17, front oxygen sensor 18, fuel injection system 19, ETC system 20, throttle actuator 21 and motor 22 establish communication connection through wired or wireless network.

[0036] Based on the above Figure 1 In the implementation environment shown, the present application embodiment provides a method for controlling an engine as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, taking the method applied to ECU as an example, the method includes steps 201 to 207.

[0037] In step 201 , the ECU obtains the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down.

[0038] Exemplarily, the following is an example of a method for obtaining various parameters of an engine.

[0039] (1) Obtain the engine speed before shutdown

[0040] In a possible implementation, the ECU can obtain the engine speed before shutdown through a speed sensor. The speed sensor is installed on the crankshaft or flywheel, detects the engine speed, and converts the engine speed into an electrical signal and sends it to the ECU. The ECU obtains the engine speed before shutdown by analyzing the electrical signal corresponding to the speed.

[0041] (2) Obtain the load before the engine stops

[0042] Optionally, the ECU can measure the intake pressure of the engine through an intake manifold absolute pressure sensor, and then calculate the engine load based on the intake pressure. Among them, the intake manifold absolute pressure sensor can detect the intake pressure of the engine.

[0043] (3) Obtaining the variable valve timing angle before the engine stops

[0044] For example, the ECU can read the variable valve timing angle before the engine stops through a position sensor installed on the camshaft or the valve, wherein the position sensor is installed on the camshaft or the valve to measure the position of the VVT ​​actuator.

[0045] (4) Obtain the water temperature before the engine stops

[0046] In a possible implementation, the ECU can detect the water temperature before the engine is shut down through a first temperature sensor, wherein the first temperature sensor is installed near a thermostat or a radiator and can directly measure the temperature of the engine coolant.

[0047] (5) Obtain the intake manifold temperature before engine shutdown

[0048] Optionally, the ECU can detect the intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down through a second temperature sensor, wherein the second temperature sensor is installed on the intake manifold to detect the intake manifold temperature.

[0049] In step 202, the ECU calculates the amount of oil film residue on the inner wall of the combustion chamber when the engine is stopped based on the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature.

[0050] In one possible implementation, after obtaining the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down, the ECU calculates the residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber when the engine is shut down based on the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature, including: the ECU inputs the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature into a preset model for calculating the residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber to obtain the residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber.

[0051] Exemplarily, the model for calculating the residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber can be obtained through data training. For example, for a certain model of vehicle, an initial calculation model can be established based on experience in combination with the performance of the vehicle, and then the initial model is trained through multiple sets of speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature of the vehicle of the model and the corresponding residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, so as to obtain a model for calculating the residual amount of oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber suitable for the vehicle of the model.

[0052] In step 203, the ECU calculates a preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped based on the residual oil film and the engine speed. The preset throttle opening is considered to meet the required intake air volume during the engine stop process.

[0053] Optionally, after completing the calculation of the residual oil film on the inner wall of the combustion chamber, the ECU calculates the preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped based on the residual oil film and the engine speed, wherein the preset throttle opening is considered to meet the required intake volume during the engine shutdown process.

[0054] Exemplarily, the ECU calculates a preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped based on the amount of oil film residue and the engine speed, including: the ECU calculates the intake amount required during the engine stop process based on the amount of oil film residue and the engine speed; and calculates the preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped based on the intake amount.

[0055] In a possible implementation, the ECU may determine the required intake air volume during the engine stop process corresponding to the current oil film residual amount and the engine speed based on the oil film residual amount and the engine speed, according to the corresponding relationship between the oil film residual amount and the engine speed and the intake air volume required during the engine stop process. Alternatively, the corresponding relationship between the oil film residual amount and the engine speed and the intake air volume required during the engine stop process may be determined based on experiments.

[0056] In a possible implementation, after determining the intake amount required during the current engine shutdown, the ECU calculates the preset throttle opening when the engine is shut down based on the intake amount, including: based on the intake amount required during the current engine shutdown, determining the preset throttle opening when the engine is shut down according to the correspondence between the intake amount required during the engine shutdown and the throttle opening. Exemplarily, the correspondence between the intake amount required during the engine shutdown and the throttle opening can be determined based on experiments.

[0057] In step 204, the ECU controls the engine to start the stop ventilation operation with a preset throttle opening.

[0058] Optionally, after calculating the preset throttle opening, the ECU controls the engine to start a shutdown ventilation operation with the preset throttle opening, including: the ECU controls the engine's fuel cutoff, adjusts the throttle to the preset throttle opening and controls the engine to rotate at a preset speed through the motor.

[0059] In a possible implementation, the ECU stops injecting fuel to the engine through the fuel injection system to control the fuel interruption of the engine. Then, the actual opening of the current throttle is obtained in real time through the throttle position sensor, and a control signal corresponding to the preset throttle opening is sent to the throttle actuator through the ETC system, and the throttle actuator adjusts the throttle to the preset throttle opening. For example, the preset speed can be set based on experience.

[0060] In step 205, the ECU continuously obtains the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine during the stop ventilation operation.

[0061] Optionally, after starting the shutdown ventilation operation, the ECU continuously obtains the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine during the shutdown ventilation operation, including: continuously obtaining the oxygen concentration in the gas exhausted by the engine during the shutdown ventilation operation; and calculating the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine based on the oxygen concentration.

[0062] For example, the ECU can continuously obtain the oxygen concentration in the gas exhausted by the engine during the shutdown ventilation operation through the front oxygen sensor, wherein the front oxygen sensor is usually installed in the exhaust system, can monitor the oxygen concentration in the gas exhausted by the engine, and output a voltage signal corresponding to the oxygen concentration. Then, the oxygen concentration in the gas exhausted by the engine is determined based on the voltage signal obtained from the front oxygen sensor, and based on the oxygen concentration, the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine is calculated according to the corresponding relationship between the oxygen concentration and the air-fuel ratio. In a possible implementation, the corresponding relationship between the oxygen concentration and the air-fuel ratio and the voltage values ​​corresponding to different oxygen concentrations can be determined based on experiments.

[0063] In step 206 , the ECU determines whether the intake air amount of the engine reaches the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process based on the air-fuel ratio.

[0064] Optionally, after obtaining the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine, the ECU determines whether the engine's intake volume reaches the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process based on the air-fuel ratio, including: in response to the air-fuel ratio being lower than an air-fuel ratio threshold, the ECU determines that the engine has not reached the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process, and the air-fuel ratio threshold is the air-fuel ratio when the engine is in a stable operating state; in response to the air-fuel ratio curve being higher than the air-fuel ratio threshold, the ECU determines that the engine has reached the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process.

[0065] Exemplarily, during the execution of the shutdown ventilation operation, after obtaining the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine, the ECU compares the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine with the air-fuel ratio threshold. If the air-fuel ratio is lower than the air-fuel ratio threshold, the ECU determines that the engine has not reached the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process; if the air-fuel ratio curve is higher than the air-fuel ratio threshold, the ECU determines that the engine has reached the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process. In a possible implementation, the air-fuel ratio threshold is the air-fuel ratio when the engine is in a stable working state, which can be predetermined based on experiments.

[0066] In step 207 , in response to the intake air amount of the engine reaching the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process, the ECU controls the engine to shut down through the motor.

[0067] In a possible implementation, after determining that the engine reaches the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process, the ECU controls the engine to shut down through the motor, including: the ECU starts to pull down the engine speed through the motor until the engine speed is 0.

[0068] In summary, a control logic diagram of an engine provided in an embodiment of the present application is used as an example for illustration. The execution subject may be an ECU. Step 301, the engine starts the shutdown ventilation operation. Step 302, the oil film residual amount calculation module on the inner wall of the combustion chamber calculates the oil film residual amount on the inner wall of the engine combustion chamber. Step 303, the intake air amount calculation module calculates the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process. Step 304, the throttle opening calculation module calculates the preset throttle opening when the engine is shut down based on the intake air amount. Step 305, the air-fuel ratio calculation module determines whether the intake air amount of the engine reaches the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process. If the intake air amount of the engine reaches the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process, enter step 306; if the intake air amount of the engine does not reach the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process, enter step 302. Step 306, control the engine shutdown through the motor. Step 307, the engine completes shutdown.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application calculates the amount of oil film residue on the wall surface of the combustion chamber when the engine is stopped by obtaining the speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature and intake manifold temperature before the engine is stopped; then presets a preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped according to the amount of oil film residue and the speed of the engine; controls the engine to start the shutdown ventilation operation with the preset throttle opening, and continuously obtains the air-fuel ratio of the gas exhausted by the engine during the shutdown ventilation operation, so as to judge whether the intake volume of the engine reaches the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process; in response to the intake volume of the engine reaching the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process, controls the engine to stop through a motor, and discharges the fuel in the combustion chamber through the engine exhaust, so as to avoid compression ignition at the next start, thereby ensuring the safety of the engine and the vehicle while avoiding a decrease in fuel efficiency and an increase in harmful substances emitted by the vehicle.
