[0002] Truck cranes and commercial vehicles share similar fan control technologies, primarily controlling the fan speed based on coolant temperature. Existing fan control methods for truck cranes often struggle to adapt to the crane's load conditions during practical applications. This can cause the engine temperature to drop too low under load conditions, leading to reduced thermal efficiency. However, improving engine thermal efficiency can also cause the truck crane's engine to overheat while in motion. Furthermore, the development trends of construction machinery such as truck cranes indicate that new energy architectures are already widespread, with pure electric extended-range electric, hybrid, fuel cell electric, and hydrogen engine powertrains widely adopted in truck cranes and other construction machinery. These same issues also exist in hybrid truck cranes. Therefore, developing a method to improve the thermal efficiency of truck crane engines with either fuel or new energy architectures under load conditions is a current technical challenge.

[0030] Truck cranes typically share the same engine and temperature control system for both hoisting and driving operations. Existing temperature control methods for these applications employ a single method for controlling the fan speed in the temperature control system, primarily aiming to prevent the truck crane's engine from overheating. When the truck crane arrives at the construction site and operates in the hoisting mode, the existing technology uses the same fan speed control method used in the driving mode. While the engine heat dissipation rate is the same in both operating modes, when the temperature is the same, the heat dissipation rate is the same. However, because the engine operates at a lower power during the hoisting mode, the engine heat generation rate is lower, resulting in a lower temperature that may stabilize, thus reducing the engine's thermal efficiency. Analysis has found that the maximum engine power demand during the hoisting mode is approximately half that of the driving mode. Furthermore, during the hoisting mode, the crane's operating mechanism continuously switches between four motions: luffing, slewing, telescoping, and lifting, resulting in different power requirements. The power consumption required to meet the upward lifting condition is the highest, but this operation generally does not last long. Based on this, the inventors of the present application proposed a temperature control method for an engineering machinery engine to improve the thermal efficiency of the engine under hoisting conditions and meet the heat dissipation requirements of the engine under driving conditions.

[0031] Figure 1 The following schematically shows a flow chart of a temperature control method for engineering machinery according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a temperature control method for engineering machinery, which can be applied to engineering machinery with a fuel architecture or a system energy architecture. The engineering machinery may include an engine, a travel transmission device, an operating device and a cooling device. The travel transmission device is connected to the engine, the operating device is connected to the engine through a power take-off, and the cooling device is connected to the engine. The cooling device includes a fan for cooling the coolant and a fan speed regulator for adjusting the fan speed. The temperature control method for engineering machinery provided in an embodiment of the present application can be executed, for example, by an engine control unit in a car jack, or other processors that can be used to control the cooling device.

[0032] The present invention provides a temperature control method for engineering machinery, which may include the following steps:

[0033] S102: When the engine is in the started state, obtain the engine temperature and the connection status of the power take-off and the engine;

[0034] S104, determining the working condition of the engineering machinery according to the connection status, where the working condition includes a driving condition and an operating condition;

[0035] S106: When the operating condition is an operational condition, determining whether the current temperature of the engine is within a first temperature range based on the acquired engine temperature;

[0036] S108. When the current temperature is within the first temperature range, adjust the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator to a speed adjustment parameter corresponding to the current temperature;

[0037] Among them, the lower temperature limit value of the first temperature range corresponds to the zero speed adjustment parameter value of the fan speed regulator under the operating condition, and the lower temperature limit value is greater than the temperature value corresponding to the zero speed adjustment parameter value of the fan speed regulator under the driving condition; the upper temperature limit value of the first temperature range corresponds to the maximum speed adjustment parameter value of the fan speed regulator under the operating condition.

[0038] The temperature control method for construction machinery provided in an embodiment of the present application uses the connection status between the power take-off (PTO) and the engine as a criterion to determine the working condition of the construction machinery. When the connection status is closed, the engine drives the working device via the PTO, and the construction machinery is in the working condition. In the working condition, if the current engine temperature is within a first temperature range, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator of the fan will change with the current temperature. Because the engine power demand in the working condition is lower than that in the driving condition, the engine generates less heat in the working condition. Therefore, if the existing temperature control method for the driving condition is used, when the current temperature is low, the heat exchange rate between the engine and the outside world will be the same as the heat generation rate of the engine, thereby allowing the engine to reach thermal equilibrium at a lower temperature. By setting the lower limit of the temperature in the first temperature range above the temperature corresponding to the zero speed adjustment parameter value of the fan speed regulator in the driving condition, the engine temperature can be raised to a higher value. At this higher value, the fan speed is adjusted by controlling the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator, thereby adjusting the engine temperature. This allows the engine to achieve thermal equilibrium at a higher temperature, thereby improving the engine's thermal efficiency. Therefore, the temperature control method for engineering machinery provided in the embodiment of the present application is suitable for engineering machinery with a fuel architecture or engineering machinery with a new energy architecture (such as a hybrid architecture) that can be based on engine-driven driving conditions and operating conditions. It can convert more engine heat into useful work under operating conditions, and make the viscosity and friction coefficient of the engine lubricating oil within a reasonable range to improve mechanical efficiency, and avoid unnecessary fan work to reduce the mechanical energy consumption of the fan and reduce the generation of fan operation noise.

[0039] It is understood that the construction machinery in the embodiments of the present application may include cranes, excavators, and pump trucks, among others. The operating devices may include the crane's lifting device, the excavation device of the excavator, and the pumping device of the pump truck. The operating conditions may be understood as the operating conditions of the various operating devices described above during operation. In step S106, in the first temperature range, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is correlated with the current engine temperature. This correlation may be linear, exponential, or broken line. The speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator and the current engine temperature generally exhibit a positive correlation, i.e., the higher the current temperature, the larger the speed adjustment parameter. Similarly, during driving conditions, the fan speed adjustment parameter and the current temperature generally exhibit a positive correlation. The fan speed regulator may be, for example, a fan clutch such as an electromagnetic clutch or a hydraulic clutch, or a voltage or current regulator. If the fan speed regulator is a fan clutch, the speed adjustment parameter is the degree of engagement of the fan clutch. If the fan speed regulator is a voltage or current regulator, the speed adjustment parameter is the voltage or current value, respectively. Therefore, in step S108, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is adjusted to the speed adjustment parameter value corresponding to the current temperature, that is, the corresponding speed adjustment parameter value is determined according to the current temperature based on the above-mentioned linear, exponential, broken line and other correlation relationships.

[0040] Specifically, if the fan speed regulator is a fan clutch, the speed regulation parameter is the degree of engagement of the fan clutch. In a first temperature range, the current temperature and the speed regulation parameter are, for example, linearly correlated. Therefore, when the current temperature is a certain value within the first temperature range, a corresponding degree of engagement exists, and this degree of engagement directly reflects the fan speed.

[0041] Experimental verification of a truck crane in operating conditions has shown that engine efficiency is increased by 1%, engine wear is reduced to improve engine reliability, fan mechanical energy consumption is reduced by 10%, and fuel consumption in operating conditions is reduced by 0.3L / h.

[0042] As an example, in the case where the fan speed regulator is a fan clutch, in step S108, the zero speed adjustment parameter value may correspond to the initial engagement point of the fan clutch, and the engagement degree of the initial engagement point is 0%, and the maximum speed adjustment parameter value may correspond to the full engagement point of the fan clutch, and the engagement degree of the full engagement point is 100%. In an embodiment of the present application, the speed adjustment parameters corresponding to the zero speed adjustment parameter value and the maximum speed adjustment parameter value may also be set according to actual conditions. For example, in the case where the fan speed regulator is a fan clutch, the engagement degree of the initial engagement point is 10%, and the engagement degree of the full engagement point is 90%. The engagement degree adjustment of the fan clutch can be achieved through an electronically controlled silicone oil clutch or an electromagnetic clutch. The electronically controlled silicone oil clutch fan determines the friction force by adjusting the amount of silicone oil in the working chamber to control the speed adjustment parameter, and the electromagnetic clutch fan controls the speed adjustment parameter by adjusting the magnitude of the electromagnetic force.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present application, the lower limit value of the temperature of the first temperature range is less than the lower limit value of the ideal operating temperature range of the engine.

[0044] Under operating conditions, it is still necessary to prevent the engine from overheating, so the lower limit of the temperature in the first temperature range is set below the lower limit of the ideal operating temperature range, so that the current temperature of the engine can be controlled before entering the ideal operating temperature range.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the upper temperature limit of the first temperature interval is within the ideal operating temperature range.

[0046] Through the above configuration, the first temperature range overlaps with the ideal operating temperature range of the engine, and when the current engine temperature reaches the upper temperature limit of the first temperature range, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is at the maximum speed adjustment parameter value. Therefore, the temperature control method for an automobile engine provided in an embodiment of the present application can achieve thermal equilibrium within the ideal temperature range by adjusting the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator when the current engine temperature is within the ideal temperature range.

[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, when the engineering machinery is in an operating condition and the current temperature is greater than the upper limit of the ideal operating temperature range, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is at the maximum speed adjustment parameter value;

[0048] When the current temperature is less than or equal to the upper limit of the ideal operating temperature range and greater than the upper limit of the first temperature range, the rate of change of the engine temperature is obtained when the construction machinery switches from the driving mode to the working mode;

[0049] When the rate of change of the engine temperature is positive, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is at the maximum speed adjustment parameter value;

[0050] When the rate of change of the engine temperature is negative, the fan stops running until the engine temperature reaches the upper temperature limit.

[0051] During driving, the engine's current temperature is between the upper limit of the ideal operating temperature range and the upper limit of the first temperature range, meaning the engine is operating within the ideal temperature range. If the construction machine switches from driving to operating mode, the actual power demand placed on the engine during operating mode will significantly decrease, and therefore, the heat generated by the engine will also significantly decrease. If the acquired engine temperature change rate is negative, indicating that the fan is gradually cooling the engine, the fan is stopped, e.g., by adjusting the fan clutch engagement to 0%. This not only slows engine cooling or allows the engine to achieve thermal equilibrium within the ideal temperature range, but also avoids unnecessary mechanical energy consumption by the fan.

[0052] As an example, the construction machinery is a truck crane, and the fan speed regulator is a fan clutch, see Figure 2 The horizontal axis T is temperature, and the vertical axis R is the degree of engagement of the fan clutch. The temperature value corresponding to the initial engagement point of the fan clutch in the driving condition is 80 degrees, and the temperature value corresponding to the full engagement point of the fan clutch in the driving condition is 90 degrees. The lower limit of the temperature in the first temperature range of the hoisting condition is 90 degrees, and its upper limit is 96 degrees. The ideal temperature range of the engine is 95 to 100 degrees. Based on this, if the truck crane switches from the driving condition to the hoisting condition when the current engine temperature is between 96 and 100 degrees, the rate of change of the engine temperature is obtained, and the fan clutch is controlled based on the positive or negative value of the rate of change.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, in a driving condition and when the current temperature is equal to the lower temperature limit, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is at a maximum speed adjustment parameter value.

[0054] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, in a driving condition where the current temperature is within a second temperature range, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is positively correlated with the engine temperature, and the upper limit of the second temperature range corresponds to the maximum speed adjustment parameter value of the fan speed regulator;

[0055] When the current temperature is less than the lower limit of the ideal operating temperature range and greater than the lower limit of the temperature range, and the truck crane switches from the driving mode to the operating mode, obtain the rate of change of the engine temperature after switching to the operating mode;

[0056] When the rate of change of the engine temperature is negative, the fan stops running until the engine temperature reaches the upper temperature limit.

[0057] During driving conditions, when gradually warming up from a low temperature, if the construction machine switches to operating mode, the heat generated by the engine will drop significantly. If the acquired engine temperature change rate is negative, the fan is stopped, reducing the fan's mechanical energy consumption and preventing the current engine temperature from dropping further, thus preventing a decrease in engine thermal efficiency.

[0058] Based on the above, if the rate of change of the engine temperature is positive, the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator is adjusted according to the correlation between the speed adjustment parameter of the fan speed regulator and the current temperature of the engine in the first temperature range.

[0059] Specifically, the rate of change of the engine temperature can be determined based on the engine temperature at the start time and the engine temperature at the end time of the preset time period, and the rate of change of the engine temperature can be updated in real time at preset time intervals until the engine temperature reaches the upper temperature limit.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, obtaining the engine temperature in step S102 may include:

[0061] Get the coolant temperature and the engine intake air temperature;

[0062] The engine temperature is determined based on the coolant temperature and intake air temperature.

[0063] Furthermore, obtaining the engine temperature may also include obtaining an air conditioning switch signal; and determining the engine temperature according to the coolant temperature, the intake air temperature, and the air conditioning switch signal.
