Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of low-temperature starting of internal combustion engines, and in particular, relates to a fuel injection control method and system for low-temperature starting of a multi-cylinder diesel engine. Background Art

[0002] Diesel engines usually use direct injection compression ignition, which places high demands on the intake air temperature. Therefore, during the start-up of a diesel engine in a low-temperature environment, it is necessary to warm up the cylinder while idling to keep the engine temperature rising. At the same time, the fresh air is heated by intake air heating devices such as flame plugs and electric heating grids to achieve the ignition conditions of the diesel spray.

[0003] The compression temperature of the diesel engine cylinder continues to rise with the warm-up time. After the compression temperature reaches the ignition threshold, fuel is injected to make the diesel spray self-ignite in the cylinder to achieve the purpose of diesel engine starting. However, if the compression temperature does not reach the ignition threshold and the fuel is injected too early, it will not only cause the current ignition failure, but also hinder the ignition of subsequent cycles. On the one hand, this is because the diesel injected into the cylinder cannot ignite and burn, and a large amount of diesel accumulates in the cylinder, causing the diesel and air mixture ratio to be unbalanced. On the other hand, the evaporation and heat absorption process of the low-temperature diesel spray will cause the temperature in the cylinder to further decrease, making it more difficult for the diesel to ignite and burn, and prolonging the low-temperature starting time.

[0004] The prior art (CN103397968B-A Miller cycle diesel engine low temperature environment starting control method) uses the diesel engine temperature as a criterion, and when the diesel engine temperature is greater than the preset diesel engine starting temperature, fuel injection is performed, otherwise the fuel supply to the cylinder is 0. However, the prior art has two shortcomings: first, the measured diesel engine temperature is not the cylinder compression temperature, and no prediction method for the cylinder compression temperature is given; second, the arrangement position of the intake heating device will cause the actual intake temperature of each cylinder to be different; therefore, the control method cannot achieve reasonable differentiated control of the injection strategy, which will result in some cylinders of the multi-cylinder diesel engine successfully igniting, while some cylinders fail to ignite after injection, which ultimately leads to an extension of the overall starting time.

[0005] Therefore, during the low-temperature starting process of a multi-cylinder diesel engine using the intake air heating method, how to reasonably perform differentiated control on the injection strategies of different cylinders to avoid the situation where some cylinders fail to ignite is a technical problem that technical personnel in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0030] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a low-temperature starting control method for a multi-cylinder diesel engine. This method predicts the compression temperatures of different cylinders and uses the cylinder compression temperature as a criterion to judge the fuel injection start time of each cylinder during the low-temperature starting process, realizing a reasonable differential fuel injection control strategy, avoiding the situation of fuel injection and non-ignition in some cylinders, and shortening the overall starting time. This embodiment takes a certain V-type 12-cylinder engine as an example for illustration, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0032] Step S101: Drive the diesel engine to rotate in zero-injection reverse drag and perform intake air heating.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, during the preheating stage, the diesel engine is driven to rotate by an electric motor in zero-injection reverse drag. The intake air is heated by means of flame intake air heating, electric heating grids, etc. As the heating device and the starting motor operate, the body temperature of the diesel engine, the coolant temperature, the lubricating oil temperature, and the intake air temperature gradually increase.

[0034] Step S102: Collect the intake main pipe temperature and intake duct structure parameters of the diesel engine, and predict the intake air temperature of each cylinder according to the intake air temperature prediction formula.

[0035] Specifically, in this embodiment, the V-type 12-cylinder engine has two rows of cylinders, with 6 cylinders in each row. The two rows of cylinders intake air separately, and the intake air heating devices are respectively arranged upstream of the first cylinder of the two rows of cylinders. The intake main pipe temperatures of the two rows of cylinders are respectively tested, collected and recorded, and one row is taken as an example for subsequent description. The air temperature at the intake main pipe is collected as T in .

[0036] Taking the intake situation of 6 cylinders in a single row as an example for illustration, the schematic diagram is as shown in the appendix Figure 2 The air temperature at the intake manifold is T in , and the average mass flow rate of the total intake of a single row is The wall temperature is T w , the convective heat transfer coefficient is h, the distance between intake valve 1 and the temperature measurement point is L in , the distance between intake valves is L, and the average mass flow rate and temperature at intake valve 1 are respectively T 1 , and the average mass flow rate and temperature at intake valve 2 are respectively T 2 , and so on.

[0037] During the prediction process of the intake air temperature at each intake valve, the flow process is regarded as quasi-steady state, and the intake air temperature of each cylinder is calculated in sequence. First, based on the air temperature T in at the intake manifold, the average mass flow rate , the structure parameters of the diesel engine intake port, etc., the intake air temperature T 1 at intake valve 1 is predicted. The relationship between T 1 and the above parameters is as follows:

[0038]

[0039] dA is the heat transfer area:

[0040] dA = πDdL

[0041] C p is the specific heat capacity at constant pressure, h is the convective heat transfer coefficient, and the Dittus-Boelter empirical formula is used to estimate h according to the air velocity:

[0042]

[0043] In the formula, Nu is the Nusselt number, D is the inner diameter of the pipe, k is the thermal conductivity of air, Re is the Reynolds number, Pr is the Prandtl number, and q is 0.3 when the fluid is cooled.

[0044] T gas is the local air temperature. During the intake process of diesel engines during cold start, the wall temperature is relatively low, and T gas gradually decreases as the air flow advances. Since the local air temperature T gas gradually decreases as the air flow advances and the degree of decrease is unknown, it is impossible to directly calculate the intake air temperature using conventional methods.

[0045] Therefore, during the prediction process, the intake manifold is segmented to Figure 2For example, consider the section from the temperature measurement point to the intake valve 1 as the first section, with a pipe length of L in , and use the equivalent gas temperature T 等效 within this section to calculate the heat exchange quantity, obtaining:

[0046]

[0047] Estimate the equivalent gas temperature T 等效 by using the heat exchange characteristics during the air flow process and simulation calculations, establish the relationship between the equivalent temperature T 等效 and the main pipe air temperature and the intake air temperature at the intake valve 1. Finally, use the following formula to predict the intake air temperature at the intake valve 1:

[0048]

[0049] Furthermore, calculate T 2 using the same method, that is, the present invention uses the following formula to predict the intake air temperature at the intake valve 2:

[0050]

[0051] Among them, the sum of the average mass flow rates at the six intake valves is equal to the total intake average mass flow rate , and is regarded as one-sixth of the total mass flow rate during prediction.

[0052] Step S103: Predict the compression temperature of each cylinder according to the intake air temperature, and determine whether the compression temperature reaches the preset target compression temperature.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the diesel engine compression process is regarded as a polytropic process. Under adiabatic conditions, the polytropic index is 1.4. However, during the low-temperature starting process, the body temperature is low, the temperature difference is large, and the heat dissipation increases; at the same time, the rotational speed is low, the heat dissipation time per cycle is long, and the air leakage is large, further resulting in energy loss in the cylinder. Therefore, in the prediction process of this application, a polytropic index lower than the conventional level is used to predict the in-cylinder compression process. The polytropic index during the starting process can be estimated through a motoring test or simulation software, and is calculated using the following formula:

[0054]

[0055] In the formula, T comp1 is the compression temperature of cylinder 1, T 1 is the intake air temperature of cylinder 1, is the cylinder compression ratio, and n is the polytropic index.

[0056] Use the compression temperature of each cylinder as the fuel injection judgment basis, and the preset target compression temperature is T comp_set, the actual compression temperatures of different cylinders are T comp1 , T comp2 , …… T comp6 .

[0057] Step S104: Conduct a trial fuel injection on the cylinders that reach the target compression temperature, collect the diesel engine speed signal at this time, determine the fuel injection strategy based on the collected speed signal, and control the cylinders to conduct continuous fuel injection according to the fuel injection strategy so that the diesel engine can start at low temperatures.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the electronically controlled high-pressure common rail system is used to conduct a trial fuel injection on the cylinders that reach the target compression temperature (i.e., the actual compression temperature T compi > the preset value T comp_set ).

[0059] Collect the speed signal at this time and determine the subsequent fuel injection strategy based on the collected speed signal.

[0060] Among them, if the instantaneous speed of the diesel engine increases after the fuel injection of a certain cylinder, it means that the single-cylinder ignition of the fuel-injected cylinder is successful. In the subsequent cycles, keep the cylinder continuously fuel-injected and continue to monitor and judge the temperature of other cylinders that have not reached the preset temperature until the ignition of all cylinders is successful.

[0061] If the instantaneous speed does not increase after the fuel injection, it means that the single-cylinder ignition of the fuel-injected cylinder fails and the cylinder fuel injection criterion is incorrect. In this case, increase the starting preset target compression temperature of this cylinder, stop fuel injection into this cylinder in the subsequent cycles until the compression temperature exceeds the corrected compression temperature preset value.

[0062] The increase value ΔT comp_set of the starting preset target compression temperature is determined according to historical experience and the actual fuel injection volume:

[0063] ΔT comp_set = c × ΔT comp_set_his

[0064] In the formula, c is the fuel injection volume coefficient, and c takes 1 when the fuel injection volume is the calibrated value; ΔT comp_set_his is the correction value selected when the ignition is successful in the historical data. In the case of no experience of successful ignition, ΔT comp_set_his can be initially set as T 0 , T 0 is related to the diesel engine model and can be set by experience during the development and design process. The model used in this embodiment is about 5K.

[0065] The application effect of this method is as Figure 3 shown. Compared with the original fuel injection strategy, when the diesel engine adopts the differential delayed fuel injection strategy, the speed increases earlier and the starting time is shortened.

[0066] The method described in this embodiment can predict the intake air temperature of different cylinders and the cylinder compression temperature respectively according to the intake manifold temperature of the diesel engine, the structural parameters of the intake pipeline of the diesel engine, and by combining calculation methods such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Taking the cylinder compression temperature as a criterion, it judges when each cylinder starts fuel injection during the low-temperature starting process.

[0067] The system adopts a high-pressure common rail fuel supply method, supports separate control of the fuel injection strategies of different injectors to achieve a reasonable differential fuel injection control strategy. At the same time, it uses the method of trial fuel injection to correct the strategy, avoids the situation of misfire of fuel injection in some cylinders, shortens the overall starting time required, and reduces the starting fuel consumption and pollutant emissions of the diesel engine.

[0068] It should be noted that some embodiments of the present application are described above. Other embodiments are within the scope of the appended claims.
