[0052] Example 2

[0053] See also Figure 1 This embodiment uses the example of heating the intake grille of a high-pressure common rail diesel engine with an electronic controller to describe the process flow of the diesel engine intake grille heating control method of the present invention in detail. The high-pressure common rail diesel engine in this embodiment is powered by an electronically controlled diesel internal combustion engine with six cylinders, a displacement of 6.7L, a maximum engine torque of 850Nm, and a rated speed of 2000r / min. The operating steps are as follows:

[0054] Step 1: Start the controller of the diesel engine, collect the intake air temperature and coolant temperature of the diesel engine when the controller is started, and calculate the preheating temperature according to the intake air temperature and the coolant temperature;

[0055] In this embodiment, the preheating temperature is based on T s =k·T co +(1-k)Tch The analysis results show that T s is the preheating temperature, k is the temperature weight coefficient, the value range of k is 0~1, T co is the coolant temperature, T ch The preheating temperature reflects the engine ambient temperature. Since both the coolant temperature and the intake air temperature can reflect the ambient temperature, the larger t is, the greater the influence of the coolant temperature on the preheating temperature; conversely, the greater the influence of the intake air temperature on the preheating temperature. t is generally around 0.5. The coolant temperature T collected in this embodiment co and intake air temperature T ch The temperature weight coefficient is k = 0.5, and the preheating temperature T is calculated. s It is -30℃.

[0056] Step 2: Starting from the start of the diesel engine controller, the diesel engine air intake grille heating process is divided into a preparation stage, a preheating stage, a starting stage and a post-heating stage according to the controller operation time and the diesel engine speed;

[0057] In this embodiment, the preset delay time is 10 seconds; the preset preheating time threshold is based on The analysis results show that t p is the warm-up time threshold, T s is the preheating temperature, w is the heating rate of the air intake grille when the duty cycle of the grid heating pulse width modulation signal output is 100%. According to the preheating temperature T calculated in step 1 s The temperature is -30°C. According to the performance of the air intake grille heater and the flow rate of the coolant, it can be obtained that when the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation signal output of the diesel engine grille heating is 100%, the heating rate of the air intake grille is about 1°C / s. Therefore, the preset preheating time threshold t is calculated. p In addition, the first preset speed is 20 rpm and the second preset speed is 500 rpm.

[0058] Therefore, the division of each stage in this embodiment is as follows:

[0059] Preparation phase: The period from when the diesel engine controller starts to the 10th second after starting;

[0060] Warm-up phase: the period from 10 seconds after the diesel engine controller is started to the time when the diesel engine speed is less than 20 rpm;

[0061] Starting phase: the period when the diesel engine speed is greater than or equal to 20 rpm and less than 500 rpm;

[0062] Post-heating stage: The diesel engine speed is greater than or equal to 500rpm until the air intake grille heating is completed.

[0063] Step 3: Use a pulse width modulator to control grid heating, where:

[0064] Step 3.1: Power on the diesel engine controller with the key signal and enter the preparation phase. Wait for the indicator light to illuminate. If the preparation phase lasts longer than the 10-second delay, the grille heating enters the preheating phase. Otherwise, it remains in the preparation phase. During the preparation phase, the grid heating pulse width modulation (PWM) output duty cycle is 0%.

[0065] Step 3.2: Starting from the 10th second after the diesel engine controller key signal is powered on, the diesel engine air intake grille heating state enters the preheating stage. After entering the preheating stage, the diesel engine speed gradually increases from 0 rpm to 20 rpm. During this process, the pulse width modulator is adjusted according to the preset preheating time threshold t p (Calculate the result according to step 2, t p If the time it takes for the speed to increase from 0 rpm to 20 rpm is less than the preheating time threshold of 30 seconds, the duty cycle of the grid heating pulse width modulation signal output is 100%; if the time it takes for the speed to increase from 0 rpm to 20 rpm is greater than or equal to the preheating time threshold of 30 seconds, then after entering the preheating stage for 30 seconds, the duty cycle of the grid heating pulse width modulation signal output is 0%;

[0066] Step 3.3: When the diesel engine speed exceeds 20 rpm, it enters the starting phase; during the starting phase, if the preheating temperature is less than the first temperature threshold and the starting phase is maintained within 10 seconds, the grid heating pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle is 100%, otherwise the grid heating pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle is 0%; in this embodiment, the first temperature threshold is -1°C.

[0067] Step 3.4: When the diesel engine speed exceeds 500 rpm, the engine enters the post-heating stage. The post-heating level is determined according to the preheating temperature, and the air intake grille is heated in a stepped heating manner according to the post-heating level. The stepped heating method includes the following specific methods:

[0068] 3.4.1 Based on the preset lower and upper limits of the preheating temperature, the preheating temperature range is divided into 4 to 6 post-heating levels according to the temperature gradient. In this embodiment, the preset lower limit of the preheating temperature is -40°C, and the preset upper limit of the preheating temperature is 5°C. The post-heating levels are divided into:

[0069] Level 0: T s <-40℃;

[0070] Level 1: -40℃≤T s <-20℃;

[0071] Level 2: -20℃≤T s <-15℃;

[0072] Level 3: -15℃≤T s <-5℃;

[0073] Level 4: -5℃≤T s <5℃;

[0074] Level 5: T s ≥5℃;

[0075] The above classification is based only on the high-pressure common rail diesel engine of the electronic controller adapted to the present embodiment. Different classification methods may be used for other types of diesel engines, such as an equal gradient classification method.

[0076] 3.4.2 The heating mode of each post-heating level is divided into 4 to 6 heating steps, and a grid heating pulse width modulation signal corresponding to each heating step is set; wherein the grid heating pulse width modulation signal for each heating step includes a heating duration and a pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle corresponding to the heating duration;

[0077] In this embodiment, the heating mode of each post-heating level is divided into four heating steps. The pulse width modulation signal output duty ratio of each heating step is shown in Table 1, and the heating time of each heating step is determined according to Table 2.

[0078] Table 1 Pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle of each heating step in the post-heating stage

[0079] Heating ladder Pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle (%) Stage 0 100 Stage 1 50 Stage 2 40 Stage 3 30

[0080] Table 2 Heating time of each heating step in the post-heating stage

[0081]

[0082] 3.4.3 Determine the post-heating level for the pre-heating temperature based on the pre-heating temperature obtained by analysis, and heat the air intake grille according to the grille heating pulse width modulation signal for each heating step corresponding to the post-heating level;

[0083] The preheating temperature T in this embodiment s The temperature is -30℃, and the corresponding post-heating level is level 1. During the level 1 heating process, the air intake grille is heated in the post-heating stage using a step heating method from Stage 0 to Stage 3. According to Tables 1 and 2, it can be seen that:

[0084] The pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle of the heating stage Stage 0 is 100%, and the heating time is 20s;

[0085] The pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle of heating stage 1 is 40%, and the heating time is 120s;

[0086] The pulse width modulation signal output duty cycle of heating stage 2 is 100%, and the heating time is 20s;

[0087] The heating time of heating stage 3 is 0.

[0088] It should be noted that, in the post-heating stage, when the step heating is completed or the post-heating temperature is higher than the second temperature threshold or the coolant temperature is higher than the third temperature threshold or the diesel engine is in a steady state, the air intake grille heating is terminated; in addition, the heating system in Tables 1 and 2 is only applicable to the diesel engine of this embodiment, and the air intake grille heating of other models of diesel engines needs to be set according to actual conditions.

[0089] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
