[0087] 5) The intake temperature is within a preset range. If the current state is EGR closed loop not enabled, enter the EGR closed loop state, which needs to be ensured not lower than the minimum intake temperature of 10℃. If the current state is EGR closed loop enabled state, exit the EGR system closed loop enablement state, which needs to be ensured lower than the minimum intake temperature of 7℃. If the current state is EGR closed loop not enabled, enter the EGR closed loop state, which needs to be ensured not exceeding the maximum intake temperature of 60℃.

[0091] The above conditions are allowed to enter the EGR closed loop state, otherwise the EGR closed loop state is not allowed to enter.

[0092] Example 4

[0093] The embodiment of the application provides a method for determining EGR closed loop enabling time condition on the basis of examples 1-3, which specifically comprises:

[0094] As shown in the following table, the EGR closed loop enabling time condition is a flag bit, and the acquisition method is as follows: Figure 4 First, the working condition is judged:

[0095] 1) Condition 1.1 The time when the vehicle transmission system enters the parallel state from the series state does not exceed the preset time T0 (the series state and the parallel state can be understood from the patent CN202410210588.7 "torque distribution method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium"), and condition 1.2 The difference between the target EGR rate and the current minimum EGR rate r EGRRateMinFinal is not more than 0.01, the EGR closed loop enabling time condition is met;

[0096]

[0097] ​2) Condition 2.1 vehicle state is in series state, and condition 2.2 target EGR rate and current minimum EGR rate r EGRRateMinFinal Difference is not more than 0.01, and condition 2.3 engine torque fluctuation correction coefficient r TrqErr Exceeds preset value k1, and continuous meeting time exceeds T1, wherein k1 is 0.02 in the example, and then the EGR closed loop enabling time condition is not met. In the series working condition, if the engine is in the generating state, and the EGR rate is in the low case, and the engine torque fluctuation is large, the EGR enabling condition needs to be exited.

[0098] 3) In other cases, the EGR closed loop enabling time condition meets the state maintenance of the last state, and the default state is that the EGR closed loop enabling time condition is met.

[0099] Wherein the engine torque fluctuation correction coefficient r TrqErr is obtained by determining the difference between the actual EGR rate original value and the filtered value.

[0100] M TrqErrFilter (N) = K TrqErr × [M TrqErr (N) - M TrqErrFilter (N-1)] + M TrqErrFilter (N-1)

[0101] Wherein, M TrqErr is the difference between the engine requested fire path torque and the actual fire path torque (referred to as torque difference), M TrqErr (N) is the torque difference of the Nth sampling period, M TrqErrFilter is the first-order low-pass filtered torque difference, M TrqErrFilter (N) is the filtered torque difference of the Nth sampling period, M TrqErrFilter (N-1) is the filtered torque difference of the N-1th sampling period, N = 1, 2, 3…, M TrqErrFilter (0) is equal to the torque difference M TrqErr (0) at the 0th sampling period, which occurs at the time of vehicle power-on, and the default value is 0; the sampling period interval Δt is 10 ms in the example. K TrqErr is a coefficient: (the number of cylinders of the engine in the example is 4, k TrqErr is calibrated at 1000 rpm, The purpose of such setting is to normalize, without special calibration at different cylinder numbers and speeds, only k TrqErr of 4-cylinder engine and 1000 rpm speed needs to be calibrated, thereby reducing calibration test work), wherein m is the number of engine cylinders, n is the engine speed, k TrqErr is the torque difference filtering coefficient, which is 0.08 in the example. The filtered value of the difference between the engine requested fire path torque and the actual fire path torque MTrqErrFilter . wherein

[0102] The initial value of T0 is 0.15s in this example, but within the time when T0 time has not ended, it is assumed that there is still T0' time left at this time (T0' must be no more than T0), then T0' time is optimized to get new T01'. If the following conditions occur;

[0103] T01'=max{T0'x[1+f(Cnt LowKnock )+f(Cnt MediumKnock )+f(Cnt HighKnock )]x(1+r T0 ),0}

[0104] That is, if knock occurs in the process of meeting the EGR closed loop enabling time condition, then it is corrected according to different knock intensities (low intensity level, medium intensity level and high intensity level, which can be seen in patent CN202010608134.7 "A method and system for learning the octane number of oil") and the number of accumulations Cnt LowKnock , Cnt MediumKnock , Cnt HighKnock respectively. r T0 is the time T0 self-learning correction coefficient, its default value is 0, and can be saved after the vehicle is powered off.

[0105] The determination of f(Cnt LowKnock ), f(Cnt MediumKnock ), f(Cnt HighKnock ) is based on reducing the risk of knock and avoiding damage to the engine. Based on this, the specific calibration values in this example are as follows:

[0106] Cnt LowKnock ]]> 0 3 5 7 12 15 f(Cnt LowKnock )]]> 0 0.01 0.03 0.05 0.08 0.01

[0107] Cnt MediumKnock ]] 0 3 5 7 12 15 f(Cnt MediumKnock )]]> 0 0.05 0.08 0.1 0.15 0.18

[0108] Cnt HighKnock ]]> 0 1 3 7 10 12 f(Cnt HighKnock )]]> 0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.8 1

[0109] In particular, once pre-ignition occurs, T01'=2s.

[0110] The update of T01' is updated at most once in the EGR closed loop enabling time condition judgment period (i.e. if the EGR closed loop enabling time condition is met to not met again, then it is a new judgment period).

[0111] The initial value of T0 is 0.15s in this example, but within the time when T0 time has not ended, it is assumed that there is still T0' time left at this time (T0' must be no more than T0), then T0' time is optimized to get new T01'. If the following conditions occur;

[0112]

[0113] wherein is the engine torque fluctuation correction coefficient r TrqErr is the accumulated value, and the starting time of accumulation is: 2.1) the vehicle state is in series state, and 2.2) the difference between the target EGR rate and the current minimum EGR rate r EGRRateMinFinal is not more than 0.01.r TrqErr0 is the engine torque fluctuation correction coefficient r TrqErr

[0114] is the T1 correction coefficient obtained based on .

[0115]

[0116] wherein r T1 is the self-learning coefficient of time T1, and the default value is 0, and can be saved after the vehicle is powered off.

[0117] Embodiment 5

[0118] On the basis of embodiments 1-4, the present application provides a learning updating method of the time T0 learning value r T0 and the time T1 learning value r T1 , specifically comprising:

[0119] 1. The learning of the time T0 learning value r T0 is as follows:

[0120] 2. If T01'-T0' is greater than a preset value C1 (0.1s in this example, which indicates that the time adjustment is too large due to knock or pre-ignition), and the continuous occurrence number CNT1 (the initial value is 0, and can be saved after the vehicle is powered off) exceeds a preset value (5 in this example), in order to further improve the guarantee of engine power output in parallel working condition, the T0 learning value r T0 is in the upward learning state, that is, r T1 needs to be increased.r T0 =r T0 (z)+0.02, wherein r T0 (z) is the time T0 learning value stored by the last learning. At the same time, CNT1 is cleared. The newly learned learning value is used when entering this kind of situation next time.

[0121] 3. If T01'-T0' is not greater than a preset value C2 (0.03 s in this example, indicating that knock or pre-ignition is not likely to occur), and the number of consecutive occurrences CNT2 (initial value 0, which can be saved after the vehicle is powered off) exceeds a preset value (5 in this example), the time T1 self-learning state is a downward learning state, i.e., r T1 needs to be reduced. T0 = r T0 (z)-0.01. The newly learned and stored learning value is used next time this condition is judged.

[0122] In other cases, r T0 remains unchanged.

[0123] The priority of the above three conditions is decreasing.

[0124] The time T1 learning value r T1 is learned as follows:

[0125] 1. If T1'-T11' is greater than a preset value C3 (0.5 s in this example, indicating that the time adjustment is too large due to knock or pre-ignition), and the number of consecutive occurrences CNT2 (initial value 0, which can be saved after the vehicle is powered off) exceeds a preset value (5 in this example), in order to further improve the engine torque output stability in series working conditions and thus improve the engine charging performance, the T1 learning value r T1 is in an upward learning state, i.e., r T1 needs to be increased (i.e., T1 needs to be reduced). r T1 = r T1 (z)+0.01, where r T1 (z) is the time T1 learning value learned and stored last time. At the same time, CNT2 is cleared. The newly learned and stored learning value is used next time this condition is judged.

[0126] 2. If T1'-T11' is not greater than a preset value C4 (0.03 s in this example, indicating that knock or pre-ignition is not likely to occur), and the number of consecutive occurrences CNT2 (initial value 0, which can be saved after the vehicle is powered off) exceeds a preset value (5 in this example), the time T1 self-learning state is a downward learning state, i.e., r T1 needs to be reduced (i.e., T1 is increased). r T1 = r T1 (z)-0.005. The newly learned and stored learning value is used next time this condition is judged.

[0127] 3. In other cases, r T1 remains unchanged.

[0128] The priority of the above three conditions is decreasing.

[0129] In summary, the above completes the description of the EGR closed-loop enabling algorithm, and after enabling, the EGR closed-loop control is performed, based on the target EGR rate and the actual EGR rate, the mixed valve and the EGR valve are controlled to act so that the actual EGR rate follows the target EGR rate.
