Description

Technical Field

[0002] During engine operation, a certain amount of fuel accumulates in narrow crevices and recesses within the combustion chamber, such as those around the valves and between the cylinder head. When the engine is shut down after being fully warmed up, the cooling water and oil cease to cool the combustion chamber, causing the temperature to rise further. This causes the fuel in these crevices and recesses to evaporate and remain within the combustion chamber. When the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber reaches compression ignition (CI), if the engine is restarted, compression ignition will occur at speeds between 200 and 500 rpm, resulting in reduced fuel efficiency, increased harmful emissions, and even engine damage.

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

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

[0031] For example, the speed sensor 12 is used to obtain the engine speed before shutdown and transmit it to the ECU 11. The speed sensor 12 can be mounted on the crankshaft or flywheel. The manifold absolute pressure sensor 13 is used to measure the engine intake pressure and transmit it to the ECU 11. The ECU 11 then calculates the engine load based on the intake pressure. The manifold absolute pressure sensor 13 can be mounted upstream of the intake manifold and near the throttle position.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the position sensor 14 is used to read the variable valve timing angle before the engine is shut down and transmit it to the ECU 11. The position sensor 14 can be mounted on the camshaft or valve. The first temperature sensor 15 is used to detect the water temperature before the engine is shut down and transmit it to the ECU 11. The first temperature sensor 15 can be mounted near the thermostat or radiator. The second temperature sensor 16 is used to detect the intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down and transmit it to the ECU 11. The second temperature sensor 16 can be mounted on the intake manifold.

[0033] Optionally, a fuel injection system 19 is used to inject fuel into the engine. Fuel supply to the engine can be interrupted by controlling the fuel injection system 19. The ETC system 20 is used to send a control signal corresponding to a preset throttle opening to a throttle actuator 21, which adjusts the throttle to the preset throttle opening. The throttle position sensor 17 is used to monitor the actual throttle opening in real time and transmit it to the ECU 11. The motor 22 is used to control engine operation or shutdown.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the front oxygen sensor 18 is used to continuously obtain the oxygen concentration in the engine exhaust gas during the shutdown ventilation operation and transmit it to the ECU 11. The front oxygen sensor 18 is typically installed in the exhaust system. The oxygen concentration is used to calculate the air-fuel ratio of the engine exhaust gas. Based on the air-fuel ratio, it is determined whether the engine intake volume has reached the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process.

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

[0036] Based on the above Figure 1 In the implementation environment shown, the present application embodiment provides an engine control method such as 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 engine speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature, and intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down.

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

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

[0040] In one possible implementation, the ECU can obtain the engine speed before shutdown using a speed sensor. The speed sensor, mounted on the crankshaft or flywheel, detects the engine speed and converts it into an electrical signal that is transmitted to the ECU. The ECU then analyzes the electrical signal to determine the engine speed before shutdown.

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

[0042] Alternatively, the ECU can measure the engine's intake pressure via a manifold absolute pressure sensor and then calculate the engine load based on the intake pressure. The manifold absolute pressure sensor can detect the engine's intake pressure.

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

[0044] For example, the ECU can read the variable valve timing angle before the engine stops using a position sensor mounted on the camshaft or valve, which measures the position of the VVT ​​actuator.

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

[0046] In one possible implementation, the ECU may detect the water temperature before the engine is shut down through a first temperature sensor, wherein the first temperature sensor is installed near the thermostat or the 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 may detect the intake manifold temperature before the engine is shut down by a second temperature sensor, wherein the second temperature sensor is mounted on the intake manifold to detect the intake manifold temperature.

[0049] In step 202 , the ECU calculates the amount of oil film remaining on the combustion chamber wall 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] For example, a model for calculating the residual oil film on the combustion chamber wall surface can be obtained through data training. For example, for a certain vehicle model, an initial calculation model can be established based on experience and combined with the vehicle's performance. This initial model is then trained using multiple sets of speed, load, variable valve timing angle, water temperature, intake manifold temperature, and corresponding residual oil film on the combustion chamber wall surface data for that vehicle model, resulting in a model for calculating the residual oil film on the combustion chamber wall surface suitable for that vehicle 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 intake air volume required 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 intake volume required 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 one possible implementation, the ECU may determine the required intake air volume during the current engine shutdown process corresponding to the remaining oil film amount and the engine speed based on the remaining oil film amount and the engine speed, and the corresponding relationship between the remaining oil film amount, the engine speed, and the required intake air volume during the engine shutdown process. Alternatively, the corresponding relationship between the remaining oil film amount, the engine speed, and the required intake air volume during the engine shutdown process may be determined experimentally.

[0056] In one possible implementation, after determining the required intake air volume during the current engine shutdown process, the ECU calculates a preset throttle opening for the current engine shutdown process based on the intake air volume, including: determining the preset throttle opening for the current engine shutdown process based on a correspondence between the required intake air volume during the current engine shutdown process and the throttle opening. For example, the correspondence between the required intake air volume during the current engine shutdown process and the throttle opening can be determined based on experiments.

[0057] In step 204 , the ECU controls the engine to start performing a stop ventilation operation at 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 fuel cutoff of the engine, adjusts the throttle to the preset throttle opening and controls the engine to rotate at a preset speed through the motor.

[0059] In one possible implementation, the ECU stops injecting fuel to the engine through the fuel injection system, thereby controlling the engine's fuel supply. The throttle position sensor then obtains the actual throttle opening in real time. The ETC system sends a control signal corresponding to a preset throttle opening to the throttle actuator, which then 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 shutdown 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 engine exhaust gas during shutdown ventilation operations using a front oxygen sensor. The front oxygen sensor is typically installed in the exhaust system and can monitor the oxygen concentration in the engine exhaust gas and output a voltage signal corresponding to the oxygen concentration. The ECU then determines the oxygen concentration in the engine exhaust gas based on the voltage signal obtained from the front oxygen sensor. Based on the oxygen concentration and the corresponding relationship between oxygen concentration and air-fuel ratio, the ECU calculates the air-fuel ratio of the engine exhaust gas. In one possible implementation, the corresponding relationship between oxygen concentration and air-fuel ratio, as well as the voltage values ​​corresponding to different oxygen concentrations, can be determined experimentally.

[0063] In step 206 , the ECU determines whether the intake air amount of the engine has reached 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 has reached 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 working 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] For example, during the shutdown ventilation process, after obtaining the air-fuel ratio of the engine exhaust gas, the ECU compares the air-fuel ratio of the engine exhaust gas with an 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 required intake air volume during the 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 required intake air volume during the shutdown process. In one possible implementation, the air-fuel ratio threshold is the air-fuel ratio of the engine in a stable operating state, which can be predetermined based on experiments.

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

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

[0068] In summary, the 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, go to step 306; if the intake air amount of the engine does not reach the intake air amount required during the engine shutdown process, go to step 302. Step 306, control the engine shutdown through the motor. Step 307, the engine completes the shutdown.

[0069] The embodiment of the present application calculates the amount of oil film remaining 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 the preset throttle opening when the engine is stopped based on the oil film remaining amount and the engine speed; 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 to determine whether the engine's intake volume reaches the intake volume required during the engine shutdown process; in response to the engine's intake volume 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, thereby avoiding compression ignition at the next start-up, and ensuring the safety of the engine and vehicle while avoiding a decrease in fuel efficiency and an increase in harmful substances emitted by the vehicle.
