[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] The embodiment provides an auxiliary brake control method, which is executed by an auxiliary brake controller, and steps are as follows:

[0053] Step 1, obtaining vehicle running parameters and vehicle slope state.

[0054] Step 2, when the vehicle running parameters meet the preset conditions and the vehicle slope state is in the downhill state, it is determined that the auxiliary brake opening condition is met, and the exhaust brake control and the engine brake control are started.

[0055] The exhaust brake control and the engine brake control comprise:

[0056] When the engine speed and the vehicle speed are in the preset range, the brake torque calculation and the deceleration calculation are performed, and whether it is appropriate to start the exhaust brake and / or the engine brake is determined according to the calculation result;

[0057] If it is appropriate to start the exhaust brake and / or the engine brake, the exhaust brake and / or the engine brake are started, and the engine speed and the vehicle speed are obtained in real time;

[0058] If the engine speed and / or the vehicle speed exceeds the preset value, an alarm is given and the main brake and the gear up are applied, and then the brake torque calculation and the deceleration calculation are performed again to perform a cycle determination;

[0059] If the engine speed and / or the vehicle speed still exceeds the preset value after the cycle determination, an engine speed and / or vehicle speed over-limit alarm is started.

[0060] Embodiment 2

[0061] The embodiment provides an auxiliary brake control method, which is executed by an auxiliary brake controller, and steps are as follows:

[0062] Step 1, obtaining vehicle running parameters and vehicle slope state.

[0063] The vehicle running parameters comprise an engine speed, a vehicle speed, a gear state and an auxiliary brake handle state.

[0064] Step 2, as Figure 1As shown, when the vehicle running parameter meets the preset condition, and the vehicle slope state is in the downhill state, it is determined that the auxiliary braking opening condition is met, and the exhaust brake control and engine brake control are opened; if the vehicle slope state is not suitable for braking, an alarm is given to remind the driver to perform main braking.

[0065] The vehicle running parameter meeting the preset condition includes:

[0066] (1) The engine speed is greater than the idle speed value, i.e. the engine is in a normal operating state;

[0067] (2) The vehicle speed is greater than the auxiliary braking opening threshold value, which can be confirmed by experimental test calibration to ensure that the auxiliary braking can obtain ideal braking torque, and when the value is lower, the auxiliary braking effect will decrease sharply and no longer have significant auxiliary braking effect;

[0068] (3) The gear is in the forward gear, when the vehicle gear is in the neutral gear or the reverse gear mode, the engine and the vehicle resistance load are disconnected, and the auxiliary braking force cannot be effectively transmitted to achieve the purpose of reducing the vehicle speed;

[0069] (4) The auxiliary braking handle is in the open state.

[0070] Further, taking the vehicle slope state in the downhill state as one of the auxiliary braking opening conditions can ensure that the auxiliary braking function is timely, effective and reasonable.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2 , the exhaust brake control method steps are as follows:

[0072] Step 2.1.1, determine whether the engine speed and vehicle speed are in the preset range, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed are not in the preset range, start the speed and / or speed overrun alarm.

[0073] Step 2.1.2, if the engine speed and vehicle speed are in the preset range, calculate the braking torque and deceleration, and determine whether it is appropriate to start the exhaust brake according to the calculation result.

[0074] The calibration table obtained by experimental test can obtain the brake torque value range under the engine speed and vehicle speed and determine the appropriate timing of starting auxiliary braking. Specifically, through engine bench test calibration, the brake torque value obtained by corresponding auxiliary braking under different engine speeds is obtained, for example, the longitudinal direction of the table is the engine speed, and the lateral direction is the auxiliary brake torque value measured under the corresponding speed, thereby forming a calibration table. Further, through the parameter calculation of the vehicle speed ratio, the transmission speed ratio under the corresponding vehicle speed and engine speed can be calculated, and the drive axle speed ratio can be obtained, so that another parameter table, i.e., the corresponding relationship table of engine speed under a certain gear and vehicle speed, can be calculated. Under the premise of pre-setting a certain reasonable and available auxiliary brake torque value range, by querying the above two tables, it can be known whether the auxiliary brake torque under the corresponding engine speed and vehicle speed meets the opening condition, i.e., whether the auxiliary brake torque is large enough to be worth opening the function. If the auxiliary brake torque value is too small, it is unnecessary to open the function. If the vehicle speed is too high and the engine speed is too high, the auxiliary brake torque value is too large, and if it is opened, it is easy to damage the auxiliary brake system and the engine system, and it also needs to be avoided and prohibited to open.

[0075] By the auxiliary brake torque under the corresponding engine speed and vehicle speed and the vehicle power chain transmission speed ratio, the theoretical brake torque acting on the wheel can be calculated, and the required deceleration value (i.e., negative acceleration) can be obtained according to the acceleration calculation formula. By determining the change trend of the vehicle deceleration, it can be determined whether the engine speed and vehicle speed will be out of control after a certain time, and the corresponding alarm value can be provided in time.

[0076] Step 2.1.3, if it is not appropriate to start exhaust braking, an alarm is given and the auxiliary braking is applied to exit.

[0077] Step 2.1.4, if it is appropriate to start exhaust braking, exhaust braking is started, and the engine speed and vehicle speed are obtained in real time during the exhaust braking process.

[0078] Step 2.1.5, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed exceeds the preset value or has a trend of exceeding the preset value, an alarm is given and the main brake and upshift are applied, and then the brake torque calculation and deceleration calculation are performed again to perform a cycle determination.

[0079] Through the determination of the main brake intervention requirement and the determination of the upshift requirement, it is ensured that the driver is reminded to take correct measures in time and effectively to protect the engine, avoid vehicle failure and effectively limit the vehicle speed, and also has the alarm capability of exceeding the engine protection standard.

[0080] Step 2.1.6, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed still exceeds the preset value after the cycle determination, a speed and / or vehicle speed over-limit alarm is started.

[0081] As Figure 3 shown in the figure, the engine brake control method steps as follows:

[0082] Step 2.2.1, determine whether the engine speed and vehicle speed are in the preset range, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed is not in the preset range, start the speed and / or speed overrun alarm.

[0083] Step 2.2.2, if the engine speed and vehicle speed are in the preset range, calculate the brake torque and deceleration, and determine whether it is appropriate to start the engine brake according to the calculation result.

[0084] Wherein, the brake torque calculation and deceleration calculation method is the same as step 2.1.2.

[0085] Step 2.2.3, if it is not appropriate to start the engine brake, alarm and apply to exit the auxiliary brake. When exiting the auxiliary brake, close the flameout limit, close the flameout oil to restore normal oil supply; then determine whether the engine speed is lower than the idle value; if the engine speed is lower than the idle value, reissue the start signal, control the engine speed to increase and restore the engine start state.

[0086] Step 2.2.4, if it is appropriate to start the engine brake, start the engine brake, and start the flameout limit to ensure that the flameout valve is in the working state, start the flameout oil, maintain the minimum oil supply state, and maintain the engine continuous operation under the inertia of the vehicle downhill; in addition, the engine speed and vehicle speed are obtained in real time during the engine brake process.

[0087] Step 2.2.5, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed exceeds the preset value, alarm and apply the main brake and upshift, then calculate the brake torque and deceleration again for cyclic determination.

[0088] Step 2.2.6, if the engine speed and / or vehicle speed still exceeds the preset value after cyclic determination, start the speed and / or speed overrun alarm.

[0089] The auxiliary brake control method provided by the application is executed by the auxiliary brake controller, by obtaining the vehicle running parameters and the vehicle slope state, when the vehicle running parameters meet the preset conditions and the vehicle slope state is in the downhill state, it is determined that the auxiliary brake opening condition is met, the exhaust brake control and the engine brake control are opened, the mechanical pump engine can still perform auxiliary brake under the condition of no ECU, and the double auxiliary brake control mode of exhaust brake control and engine brake control can be realized, so the adaptation ability of different auxiliary brake functions can be improved; in addition, the vehicle slope state in the downhill state is used as one of the auxiliary brake opening conditions, which can ensure that the auxiliary brake function is timely, effective and reasonable.
