[0041] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application.

[0042] Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as recited in the appended claims.

[0043] Figure 1 1 is a system diagram of an electronic throttle ice-breaking method according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 100 includes an engine 100 a , and an electronic throttle valve 10 is mounted on the engine 100 a . The vehicle 100 can obtain its own throttle drive level state, speed, motor speed, battery voltage, water tank temperature and intake air temperature; when the throttle drive level state meets the specified conditions, the speed is less than the specified vehicle speed, the motor speed is less than the specified speed, the battery voltage belongs to the specified voltage range, the water tank temperature belongs to the first temperature range and the intake air temperature belongs to the second temperature range, the electronic throttle 10 of the vehicle 100 is controlled to close to the first throttle opening; when the difference between the actual opening of the electronic throttle 10 and the first throttle opening is greater than the first proportional threshold, the electronic throttle 10 is controlled to gradually open to the second throttle opening within the target time; within the target time, the electronic throttle 10 is controlled to gradually close from the second throttle opening to the first throttle opening; when the actual opening of the electronic throttle 10 meets the throttle opening value of the first throttle opening plus the deviation threshold (i.e., the target throttle opening), the engine 100a corresponding to the electronic throttle 10 is started.

[0044] For example, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of an electronic throttle ice-breaking method provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The electronic throttle de-icing method shown can be executed by a vehicle, for example, the vehicle can be the above-mentioned Figure 1 Vehicle 100 is shown.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the electronic throttle ice-breaking method may include step 210, step 220, step 230, step 240 and step 250, which are specifically implemented as follows.

[0046] Step 210: Obtain the throttle drive stage state, speed, motor speed, battery voltage, water tank temperature, and intake air temperature of the vehicle.

[0047] The throttle driving stage state refers to the working state of the electronic throttle of the engine, and the working state may be normal or abnormal.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the throttle drive level status is normal, indicating that the current electronic throttle is working normally and no abnormality occurs; the throttle drive level status is abnormal, indicating that the current electronic throttle is faulty and cannot work normally; the vehicle can obtain the throttle drive level status of the vehicle through the engine control system.

[0049] Among them, the above speed is the current driving speed of the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the speed of the vehicle can be obtained by a vehicle speed sensor.

[0050] Among them, the above-mentioned motor speed is the rotation speed of the motor. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle can obtain the motor speed through monitoring by a motor speed sensor.

[0051] The battery voltage is the voltage level of the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the battery voltage can be measured and obtained by a voltage sensor.

[0052] Among them, the above-mentioned water tank temperature is the temperature of the coolant of the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the temperature of the coolant of the vehicle can be monitored by a water temperature sensor.

[0053] The above-mentioned intake temperature is the temperature of the air entering the engine. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle can obtain it by measuring the intake temperature sensor.

[0054] Step 220: When the throttle drive level state meets the specified conditions, the speed is less than the specified vehicle speed, the motor speed is less than the specified speed, the battery voltage belongs to the specified voltage range, the water tank temperature belongs to the first temperature range and the intake temperature belongs to the second temperature range, the vehicle's electronic throttle is controlled to close to the first throttle opening.

[0055] The above-mentioned specified conditions are preset to ensure that the electronic throttle is in a safe working range and throttle drive level state.

[0056] The designated vehicle speed is a preset lower vehicle speed, for example, 5 km / h.

[0057] The specified speed is a preset lower motor speed, for example, 40 r / min.

[0058] The first temperature range and the second temperature range are temperature ranges not exceeding 0 degrees, for example, -35°C to 0°C.

[0059] The first throttle opening is a preset smaller opening value, for example, 1%, which is used to indicate that the electronic throttle is closed to an almost closed state.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present application, if the electronic throttle can be smoothly closed to the first throttle opening, it means that there is no ice in the current electronic throttle; if the electronic throttle cannot be smoothly closed to the first throttle opening, it means that there is ice in the current electronic throttle, which affects the closing of the electronic throttle.

[0061] Step 230: When the difference between the actual opening of the electronic throttle and the first throttle opening is greater than a first proportional threshold, the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually open to a second throttle opening within a target duration.

[0062] The first proportional threshold is a preset electronic throttle opening threshold, for example, 5%.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, the difference between the actual opening of the above-mentioned electronic throttle and the first throttle opening is greater than the first proportional threshold, indicating that the electronic throttle cannot be closed to an almost closed state, and ice may appear in the electronic throttle, hindering the closing operation of the electronic throttle.

[0064] The second throttle opening is a preset opening value slightly larger than the first throttle opening, for example, 15%.

[0065] The target duration is a preset duration, for example, 4 seconds.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, when the actual opening of the electronic throttle is close to but has not reached the first throttle opening, the vehicle can control the electronic throttle to gradually open to the second throttle opening within a target time.

[0067] For example, assuming that the second throttle opening is set to 40%, when the vehicle detects that the actual opening of the electronic throttle is 30%, the vehicle will control the electronic throttle to gradually open to 40% within the next 5 seconds.

[0068] Within the target time, the vehicle can control the electronic throttle to perform the opening operation multiple times, and when the electronic throttle is opened to the second throttle opening, the opening operation is exited.

[0069] Step 240: within the target time, control the electronic throttle to gradually close from the second throttle opening to the first throttle opening.

[0070] In an embodiment of the present application, after the opening of the electronic throttle reaches the second throttle opening, the vehicle gradually closes the electronic throttle to the first throttle opening within a target time to ensure the ice-breaking effect.

[0071] For example, assuming that the first throttle opening is set to 1%, after the vehicle detects that the electronic throttle has been opened to the second throttle opening, the vehicle controls the electronic throttle to be gradually closed to 1%.

[0072] Step 250: When the actual opening of the electronic throttle reaches the target throttle opening, the engine corresponding to the electronic throttle is started; the target throttle opening is the throttle opening value obtained by adding the deviation threshold to the first throttle opening.

[0073] The above deviation threshold is the allowable difference between the actual opening of the electronic throttle and the first throttle opening, for example, ±3%, that is, the actual opening of the electronic throttle can be greater than / less than 3% of the first throttle opening.

[0074] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle obtains multiple operating parameters, and when the multiple operating parameters meet specified conditions, the ice-breaking operation of the electronic throttle is triggered, and the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually open to a higher second throttle opening, and then closed. By performing repeated opening and closing actions, it helps to break the ice layer on the electronic throttle, and avoids mechanical damage caused by sudden large opening changes of the electronic throttle through gradual and progressive operations. The above scheme ensures the equipment safety of the electronic throttle during the ice-breaking process of the electronic throttle, and effectively improves the ice-breaking effect of the electronic throttle.

[0075] In some embodiments, the vehicle can obtain meteorological data of the vehicle's environment in real time, and the meteorological data includes ambient temperature, air humidity and precipitation type; when the meteorological data meets specified conditions, the vehicle's electronic throttle is controlled to close to a first throttle opening, and the specified conditions include that the ambient temperature does not exceed -10°C, the air humidity is not less than 70°C, or the precipitation type is freezing rain / hail, and the first throttle opening is dynamically adjusted according to the ambient temperature. For every 5°C decrease in ambient temperature, the first throttle opening increases by 0.5%; within a target time, the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually open to a second throttle opening; within the target time, the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually close from the second throttle opening to the first throttle opening; when the actual opening of the electronic throttle reaches the target throttle opening, the engine corresponding to the electronic throttle is started; the target throttle opening is the throttle opening value of the first throttle opening plus a deviation threshold.

[0076] Among them, the above-mentioned ambient temperature refers to the temperature outside the vehicle. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle can obtain the temperature outside the vehicle through an ambient temperature sensor.

[0077] The above-mentioned air humidity refers to the content of water vapor in the air. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle can obtain the air humidity through an air humidity sensor.

[0078] Among them, the above-mentioned precipitation types include different forms of precipitation such as rain, snow, sleet or hail. In the embodiment of the present application, the vehicle can obtain precipitation information in real time through the Internet of Vehicles to determine the precipitation type.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, when the above-mentioned meteorological data meets the specified conditions, it indicates that the current environment in which the vehicle is located is relatively harsh and prone to icing. The opening of the electronic throttle is dynamically adjusted according to the specific meteorological conditions, so that the vehicle can maintain the best working state in a changeable climate environment and improve the ice-breaking effect.

[0080] Based on the solutions shown in any one or more of the above embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 2 is a flow chart of an electronic throttle ice-breaking method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The above step 230 can be implemented as step 230a, step 230b and step 230c, as follows.

[0081] Step 230a: Obtain a calibration slope value.

[0082] The calibration slope value is a preset parameter used to describe the speed at which the electronic throttle valve is adjusted from one opening to another, and represents the change in the opening of the electronic throttle valve per unit time.

[0083] In an embodiment of the present application, the calibration slope value may be stored in a motor control system, and the vehicle may obtain the calibration slope from the motor control system.

[0084] Step 230b: Determine a first target opening value based on the calibrated slope value and the upper limit opening of the second throttle valve opening.

[0085] The upper limit of the second throttle opening is the maximum opening value allowed when the vehicle controls the electronic throttle to open to the second throttle opening.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the upper limit opening of the second throttle valve can be stored in a motor control system, and different vehicle models can correspond to different second throttle valve openings and different upper limit openings of the second throttle valve; the corresponding second throttle valve opening and the upper limit opening of the second throttle valve may also be different under different working environments of the vehicle.

[0087] Step 230c: Control the electronic throttle valve to gradually open to a second throttle valve opening according to the first target opening value.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle determines the first target opening value through the motor control system, the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually open to the second target opening value.

[0089] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle controls the electronic throttle to gradually open according to the first target opening value determined based on the calibrated slope value and the upper limit opening of the second throttle opening, thereby achieving fine control of the electronic throttle, effectively preventing potential risks caused by the electronic throttle opening too quickly or too much, and further improving the stability of the electronic throttle opening operation.

[0090] Based on the scheme shown in any one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned step 230b can be implemented as: obtaining the product of the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time, and the minimum value of the upper limit opening of the second throttle opening, as the first target opening value.

[0091] The opening duration within the above target duration represents the time length for gradually adjusting the electronic throttle from an initial opening (eg, a first throttle opening) to a final desired opening (eg, a second throttle opening).

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, the product of the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time length is obtained by multiplying the pre-set calibrated slope value with the time length planned for gradually increasing the throttle opening. The product represents the maximum opening increment that the electronic throttle can theoretically achieve within the target time period based on the currently set adjustment rate.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle obtains the product, it compares the product with the upper limit opening of the second throttle valve, and uses the upper limit opening of the second throttle valve to limit the upper limit opening of the first target opening value.

[0094] When the product is less than the upper limit of the second throttle opening, it means that ice may be stuck in the electronic throttle, and the electronic throttle cannot increase the opening to the second throttle opening. At this time, the product of the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time is used as the target of this opening operation. The opening operation is performed to make the electronic throttle break through the current opening and perform an effective ice-breaking operation. When the product is greater than the upper limit of the second throttle opening, the second throttle opening is obtained as the target opening value of this opening operation. There is no need to open it too wide to avoid mechanical damage caused by excessive throttle opening.

[0095] In an embodiment of the present application, the product of the above-mentioned calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time can reflect the actual opening of the electronic throttle. On this basis, the first target opening value of the electronic throttle is limited by the upper limit opening of the second throttle. On the basis of ensuring that no mechanical damage is caused to the electronic throttle port, the electronic throttle can effectively achieve the ice-breaking effect.

[0096] Based on the solutions shown in any one or more of the above embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 2 is a flow chart of an electronic throttle ice-breaking method provided by an embodiment of the present application. The above step 240 can be implemented as step 240a, step 240b and step 240c, as follows.

[0097] Step 240a: Obtain a calibration slope value.

[0098] The calibration slope value is a preset parameter used to describe the speed at which the electronic throttle valve is adjusted from one opening to another, and represents the change in the opening of the electronic throttle valve per unit time.

[0099] In an embodiment of the present application, the calibration slope value may be stored in a motor control system, and the vehicle may obtain the calibration slope from the motor control system.

[0100] Step 240b: Determine a second target opening value based on the calibrated slope value and the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening.

[0101] The upper limit of the first throttle opening is a maximum allowable opening value set when the electronic throttle is gradually closed from a higher second throttle opening to an initial first throttle opening.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, the upper limit opening of the first throttle valve opening can be stored in a motor control system, and different vehicle models can correspond to different first valve openings and upper limit openings of the first throttle valve openings; when the vehicle is in different working environments, the corresponding first throttle valve opening and the upper limit opening of the first throttle valve opening may also be different.

[0103] Step 240c: Control the electronic throttle valve to gradually close to the first throttle valve opening according to the second target opening value.

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle determines the first target opening value through the motor control system, the electronic throttle is controlled to gradually close to the first target opening value.

[0105] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle controls the electronic throttle to gradually close according to the second target opening value determined based on the calibrated slope value and the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening, thereby achieving fine control of the electronic throttle, effectively preventing potential risks caused by too fast closing of the electronic throttle, and further improving the stability of the electronic throttle closing operation.

[0106] Based on the scheme shown in any one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned step 240b can be implemented as: obtaining the product of the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time, and the minimum value of the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening, and determining the second target opening value.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, the product of the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time length is obtained by multiplying the pre-set calibrated slope value with the time length planned for gradually increasing the throttle opening. The product represents the maximum opening increment that the electronic throttle can theoretically achieve within the target time period based on the currently set adjustment rate.

[0108] The opening time within the above target time represents the time period during which the electronic throttle is planned to be gradually adjusted from a lower initial opening (e.g., the first throttle opening) to a higher desired opening (e.g., the second throttle opening). The selection of this time length needs to take into account multiple factors, including but not limited to the current state of the vehicle, external environmental conditions, and the required safety margin.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, after the vehicle obtains the product, it compares the product with the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening, and uses the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening to limit the upper limit opening of the second target opening value.

[0110] When the product is less than the upper limit of the first throttle opening, it means that ice may be stuck in the electronic throttle valve and the electronic throttle valve cannot close to the first throttle opening. At this time, the product is used as the target opening value of this closing operation, and the closing operation is performed to make the electronic throttle valve perform an effective ice-breaking operation. When the product is greater than the upper limit of the first throttle valve opening, the first throttle valve opening is obtained as the target opening value of this closing operation. There is no need to close too small, so as to avoid the electronic throttle valve being unable to exhaust due to closing too small.

[0111] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle calculates the calibrated slope value and the opening time of the electronic throttle within the target time, and compares the product with the upper limit opening of the first throttle opening, and obtains the minimum value as the second target opening value, thereby achieving precise control of the electronic throttle closing process, effectively ensuring that the actual opening of the electronic throttle does not exceed the preset safety range, avoiding mechanical damage or performance degradation due to excessive closure, and effectively ensuring the stability of the electronic throttle closing.

[0112] Based on the scheme shown in any one or more of the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, the specified vehicle speed is 5km / h, the specified speed is 40r / min, the specified voltage range is 9V to 16V, the first temperature range is -35℃ to 0℃, and the second temperature range is -35℃ to 0 degrees Celsius.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, specific values ​​and value ranges of the above-mentioned multiple operating parameters are set. Low vehicle speed and low motor speed reduce the dynamic load during vehicle driving, which is beneficial to the stability of the vehicle in performing ice-breaking operations. A reasonable range is set for the battery voltage, which can effectively ensure the stability of the power supply for the ice-breaking operation and prevent the vehicle's ice-breaking operation from being affected by voltage fluctuations. The above-mentioned parameter settings effectively ensure that the vehicle can start smoothly in a low-temperature environment to perform ice-breaking operations, thereby improving the safety of ice-breaking operations.

[0114] Based on the above Figures 2 to 4 The steps in the embodiments of the present application illustrate a strategy for optimizing torque fluctuations in a hybrid vehicle trailer condition.

[0115] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of an overall ice recognition and ice breaking strategy provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 As shown, the strategy includes step 51, step 52, step 53 and step 54, which are specifically as follows.

[0116] Step 51: Power up the engine

[0117] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle powers up the engine so that the engine has sufficient power to perform subsequent ice-breaking operations.

[0118] Step 52: Perform an Icing Check

[0119] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle obtains multiple parameter information to determine whether the parameter information meets specified conditions. The parameter information includes but is not limited to throttle drive level status, vehicle speed, motor speed, battery voltage, water temperature and intake temperature.

[0120] Determine whether the throttle drive stage is in normal condition. If the throttle drive stage is in normal condition, it means that there is no fault in the throttle drive. Check whether the intake air temperature is between -35 degrees and 0 degrees, whether the engine water temperature is between -35 degrees and 0 degrees, whether the voltage is between 9V and 16V, whether the engine speed does not exceed 40r / min, and whether the vehicle speed is less than 5km / h.

[0121] Step 53: Implement ice-breaking strategies

[0122] In an embodiment of the present application, the vehicle executes the ice-breaking strategy when it detects that the throttle drive level status is normal, the intake temperature is between -35°C and 0°C, the engine water temperature is between -35°C and 0°C, the voltage is between 9V and 16V, the engine speed does not exceed 40r / min, and the vehicle speed is less than 5km / h.

[0123] a) In step 0 of the ice breaking check, first open the throttle to the target opening, i.e. 1%.

[0124] b) In the first step of ice-breaking check, determine whether the throttle valve has reached the target opening threshold. If the difference between the actual throttle valve opening and the target opening is less than 0.5%, exit the ice-breaking check steps 2-3. If the difference between the actual throttle valve opening and the target opening is greater than 0.5%, maintain the target throttle valve opening of 1% and determine whether the ice-breaking reaches the maximum time threshold (2s) for the target opening.

[0125] c) In the second step of ice breaking check, determine whether the ice breaking reaches the upper limit of the target opening position, i.e. 40%. Open the throttle to the target throttle opening (40%). Multiply the calibrated slope value by the time and take the smaller value of the upper limit of the target position to obtain the target opening value for ice breaking. The duration for maintaining the target opening upper limit is 0.2s.

[0126] d) In the third step of ice-breaking check, determine whether the throttle opening reaches the lower limit value (1%) of the target closing position, close the throttle to the target throttle opening of 1%, multiply the calibration slope value by the time, and take the smaller value of the upper limit value of the target position to obtain the target opening value for ice-breaking. The duration of maintaining the target closing lower limit value is 0.2s.

[0127] The vehicle detects that the actual throttle opening reaches below the lower limit value (1%) of the target closed position + the allowable deviation threshold (0.5%) of the target lower limit value, and exits ice breaking.

[0128] For example, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an ice-breaking strategy provided by an embodiment of the present application.

[0129] like Figure 6 As shown, the throttle valve performs the ice-breaking operation for the first time and cannot reach the allowable target position for ice-breaking (i.e., the target position + the upper and lower limit thresholds of the allowable deviation). The ice-breaking operation is performed four times in succession, and each ice-breaking operation includes one opening and one closing. The four ice-breaking operations are allowed to be performed for a specified time.

[0130] Step 54: Allowing the Engine to Start

[0131] If d) ice breaking fails, repeat the power-on ice breaking attempt for a maximum of 4 times. If ice breaking succeeds or there is no ice, the engine is allowed to start.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present application, the above scheme involves ice recognition and ice breaking strategy of the electronic throttle of a hybrid vehicle at low temperature. The above strategy scheme can be applied to the current vehicle model equipped with the H4J15 engine and equipped with an EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) exhaust gas self-circulation device. Under low temperature environmental conditions, especially near 0°C, the EGR working condition is above 0°C. During the operation of the engine, if there is a lot of water vapor inside the engine manifold, the water vapor will condense on the throttle valve plate at low temperature in the low temperature environment. Ice on the throttle valve plate gradually forms as the temperature of the engine drops; it may also be formed during driving, which will cause the throttle to be unable to open from the current position to the fully open position after power-on, which may easily cause the throttle body PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) adjustment to exceed the limit, the throttle is stuck, and when the engine is turned off and stopped, the intake pipe is disassembled to observe the presence of ice near the DVE (Direct Variable Exchanger) valve plate.

[0133] In the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned scheme can save costs, provide a solution for the company's vehicle model platform development, and effectively reduce after-sales complaints about vehicles.
