[0021] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device including a series of steps or units does not necessarily limit to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, according to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a method for detecting an engine starting cam fault is provided. When starting the engine, the starting cam contacts the control spool. The detection method includes:

[0024] S1 Obtain the first pressure value of the air inlet pipeline of the control spool and the second pressure value of the starting valve connection pipeline of the control spool when starting the engine;

[0025] S2 Judge whether the starting cam has a fault according to the first pressure value and the second pressure value.

[0026] Specifically, when the cam position of the starting cam contacts the control spool, the air circuit at the lower part of the control spool is closed, and the valve assembly inside it is affected by the pressure difference, and the control air moves upward into the starting valve. Therefore, it is possible to indirectly judge whether the starting cam has a fault by the first pressure value of the air inlet pipeline of the control spool and the second pressure value of the starting valve connection pipeline of the control spool. The method implementation is simple, only need to install a pressure sensor to obtain the pressure value, the cost is low, and the data processing is simple; it improves the accuracy of cam fault detection, realizes the judgment under dynamic working conditions, and improves the adaptability to dynamic working conditions.

[0027] As an optional implementation manner, the judging whether the starting cam has a fault according to the first pressure value and the second pressure value further includes:

[0028] S21 Judge whether the first pressure value is greater than a preset pressure value;

[0029] S22 If the first pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value, judge whether the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value;

[0030] S23 If the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value, judge whether the starting valve starts normally; if the starting valve starts normally, the starting cam has no fault.

[0031] It should be understood that it is possible to first determine whether the pressure of the control air entering the starting slide valve is normal, that is, whether the first pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value. Herein, the preset pressure value can be set, according to calibration, as the minimum value of the normal starting pressure of the engine pneumatic pipeline or slightly greater than the normal starting pressure of the engine pneumatic pipeline. Only when the pressure of the control air entering the starting slide valve is normal and the cam has no fault, can the engine start normally. Therefore, after determining that the first pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value, it is necessary to determine whether the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value. Since the air path is closed by contacting the lower part of the control slide valve through the cam position of the starting cam, inaccurate installation position of the cam may cause the second pressure value to be less than the first pressure value. Therefore, it is possible to judge whether the installation position between the control slide valve and the starting cam is accurate by comparing the first pressure value with the second pressure value.

[0032] As an optional implementation manner, it further includes: if the first pressure value is less than or equal to the preset pressure value, an alarm signal for characterizing low control air pressure is output.

[0033] As an optional implementation manner, it further includes: if the first pressure value is greater than the second pressure value, an alarm signal for characterizing a large gap between the control slide valve and the starting cam is output.

[0034] As an optional implementation manner, judging whether the starting valve starts normally includes: judging whether the phase of the second pressure value is equal to the preset phase; if the phase of the second pressure value is equal to the preset phase, the starting valve starts normally; if the phase of the second pressure value is not equal to the preset phase, the starting valve starts abnormally.

[0035] Further, in the case where the first pressure value is greater than the preset pressure value and the first pressure value is equal to the second pressure value, it is necessary to judge whether the phase of the second pressure value is equal to the preset phase; if the phase of the second pressure value is equal to the preset phase, the starting valve starts normally; if the phase of the second pressure value is not equal to the preset phase, the starting valve starts abnormally. That is, it is judged whether the opening time, closing time and opening duration of the starting valve match the preset values.

[0036] As an optional implementation manner, the abnormal start of the starting valve includes: the opening time of the starting valve is normal, but the closing time is abnormal; the opening time and closing time of the starting valve are abnormal.

[0037] Further, if the opening time of the starting valve is normal but the closing time is abnormal, that is, the opening time of the starting valve conforms to the preset opening time, but the opening duration does not match the preset duration. In this case, it may be caused by using an incorrect starting cam. If both the opening time and the closing time of the starting valve are abnormal, there are two cases including normal opening duration and abnormal opening duration. If the opening duration is normal, there may be an incorrect installation of the starting cam phase. If the opening duration is abnormal, it may be caused by installing an incorrect starting cam.

[0038] As an alternative implementation, the determining whether there is a fault in the starting cam according to the first pressure value and the second pressure value includes: determining the magnitude relationship between the first pressure value and the second pressure value; and determining whether there is a fault in the starting cam according to the magnitude relationship between the first pressure value and the second pressure value.

[0039] As an alternative implementation, the engine includes a plurality of pressure sensors respectively arranged in the air inlet pipeline of the control slide valve and the starting valve connection pipeline of the control slide valve.

[0040] The installation method is simple and convenient, with low cost and easy data processing; it improves the accuracy of cam fault detection, realizes judgment under dynamic working conditions, and improves the adaptability to dynamic working conditions.
