[0042] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for explaining the specific embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0043] The following describes the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings. Those skilled in the art will know that with the development of technology and the emergence of new scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0044] In the description and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, which is merely a way of distinguishing objects with the same attributes when describing embodiments of this application. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, system, product or device including a series of units does not have to be limited to those units, but may include other units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0045] After the engine has not been running for a long time, the temperature of the engine and its related systems will be close to the ambient temperature at this time, which is called the cold engine state. When the exhaust gas recirculation system freezes, when the engine starts from the cold engine state, ice-breaking operation needs to be carried out on the exhaust gas recirculation system. Currently, the commonly used solutions include:

[0046] Water jacket heating: After the engine starts, the heat of the engine coolant is used to heat the exhaust gas recirculation system to achieve ice melting.

[0047] Electric heating: After the engine starts, the electric energy of the generator is used to heat the exhaust gas recirculation system to achieve ice melting.

[0048] Pipeline design of water collecting tank, wrapping and drainage device: By reasonable wrapping, pipeline design and drainage device, the water in the exhaust gas recirculation system is reduced, and the icing risk is reduced.

[0049] EGR valve active ice breaking: After the controller judges that the EGR valve is stuck or frozen, the EGR valve is driven to act repeatedly with a larger duty cycle, and an attempt is made to achieve ice breaking with hardware actions.

[0050] Although these solutions can eliminate the icing of the exhaust gas recirculation system, they all take a long time. For example, for water jacket heating, due to the low initial water temperature at low temperature, it takes a long time to heat up. For electric heating: restricted by the operating power of the engine, the time taken for the first ice melting is long. For pipeline design of water collecting tank, wrapping and drainage device: its ice melting effect is restricted by the pipeline layout and direction, and is greatly affected by the environment. It freezes quickly in alpine regions and will take a long time to heat. EGR valve active ice breaking: not only causes certain damage to the hardware of the EGR valve, but also takes a long time to break the ice, and it is impossible to break the ice when there is a lot of ice.

[0051] In summary, when the above solutions solve the icing problem of the exhaust gas recirculation system when the engine starts from the cold engine state, they all take a long time, and during this period, the risk of engine damage and false error reporting caused by the icing of the exhaust gas recirculation system will be greatly increased.

[0052] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an exhaust gas recirculation control method. The exhaust gas recirculation control method of the embodiment of the present application will be introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a flowchart showing an exhaust gas recirculation control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, an exhaust gas recirculation control method provided by an embodiment of the present application may include steps 101 to 104, and these steps will be described in detail below respectively.

[0054] 101. Determine whether the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state.

[0055] In one embodiment, considering that the EGR valve plays a relatively important role in the exhaust gas recirculation system and is also a device that is severely affected by icing in the exhaust gas recirculation system. Therefore, when the engine is started from a cold state, to determine whether the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state (i.e., whether it has frozen), it can be judged based on the ambient temperature and the temperature of the EGR valve. When detecting the temperature of the EGR valve, the real-time temperature can be measured through a temperature sensor provided on the EGR valve. When the ambient temperature is relatively low, since the engine has been in a low-temperature environment for a long time before starting, the temperature of the EGR valve detected when the engine starts is almost the same as the ambient temperature. If the outdoor temperature is very low (for example, around -20°C), the temperature is very low at this time and there is a high risk of icing. To further determine whether the EGR valve is in a frozen state, the opening of the EGR valve can be adjusted, and based on the adjustment result, it can be further determined whether the EGR valve is frozen.

[0056] It can be understood that those skilled in the art can also use other temperature detection methods or positions to judge whether the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state, which will not be elaborated here.

[0057] 102. When the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state, stop the fault diagnosis process of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and determine whether the engine is in a knocking condition according to the operating parameters of the engine.

[0058] In specific implementation, when it is determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state, it only means that the EGR valve is in a temporarily unavailable state due to icing at this time, rather than being unavailable due to damage to the EGR valve. Therefore, to reduce system false alarms and reduce the failure rate. The protection strategy for the exhaust gas recirculation system can be executed, that is, stop the execution of the fault diagnosis process of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and no longer diagnose and alarm for faults such as EGR valve sticking and abnormal EGR flow.

[0059] Meanwhile, to effectively reduce engine knocking when the EGR valve freezes and timely adjust the engine operating conditions to effectively reduce the occurrence of engine damage, the knocking condition of the engine can be judged in combination with the engine operating parameters. For example, if the parameter value of the operating parameter exceeds the limit value corresponding to the knocking condition, it is determined that the engine is in the knocking condition. The operating parameters may include one or more of the following: speed, charge, torque, and load rate. The charge refers to the actual amount of air entering the cylinder during the intake process of the engine. When the amount of air entering the engine is large and the octane number is insufficient, knocking is likely to occur.

[0060] When specifically judging the knocking condition, one or more of the above operating parameters can be used for judgment simultaneously. As long as one of them exceeds the corresponding limit value, it can be judged that the engine is in the knocking condition. Of course, according to the causal relationship between the operating parameters, when two or more of them exceed the limit value, it can also be determined as the knocking condition.

[0061] It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make corresponding adjustments and settings for the values of each operating parameter corresponding to the above knocking condition according to different engine models, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] 103. When it is determined that the engine is in the knocking condition, adjust the ignition angle of the engine to the retarding ignition angle corresponding to the knocking condition, and adjust the retarding ignition angle according to the knocking parameter value representing the knocking degree of the engine.

[0063] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the engine is in the knocking condition, in order to timely eliminate the knocking existing in the engine, the engine can be first controlled to execute a retarding ignition angle. The retarding ignition angle is a concept opposite to the ignition angle (i.e., the ignition advance angle). Among them,

[0064] Ignition advance angle: It refers to that the spark plug starts to ignite before the piston reaches the top dead center. The purpose of doing this is to make the combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber reach the best state. Since the combustion of the air-fuel mixture requires a certain amount of time, it is necessary to ignite in advance so that when the piston moves downward, the air-fuel mixture can reach the maximum pressure, thereby converting more energy into power.

[0065] Retarding ignition angle: Opposite to the ignition advance angle, it refers to that the spark plug starts to ignite after the piston reaches the top dead center. It can reduce the peak temperature and pressure in the combustion chamber, and thus reduce the occurrence of engine knocking.

[0066] The ignition retard angle here can be determined from a calibration table according to the knocking value detected by a knocking sensor and the current opening degree of the EGR valve when it is determined that the engine is in a knocking condition. The current opening degree of the EGR valve can be the opening degree of the EGR valve before the engine stalls recorded in the system, or the opening degree value obtained when detecting the EGR valve, which is not limited here.

[0067] And to further ensure the smooth operation of the engine and prevent the engine from being damaged due to knocking, the ignition retard angle can be adjusted adaptively according to the knocking degree.

[0068] 104. When the knocking parameter value exceeds the limit threshold, limit the power provided to the engine.

[0069] When a relatively serious knocking situation occurs, protection operations such as limiting the torque of the engine can be performed to avoid damage to the engine caused by excessive knocking.

[0070] This exhaust gas recirculation control method can stop the fault diagnosis process of the exhaust gas recirculation system when it is determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system is in an ice state, avoid false alarms of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and effectively reduce the failure rate of the exhaust gas recirculation system. At the same time, when it is determined that the engine is in a knocking condition according to the operating parameters of the engine, the ignition angle of the engine is adjusted to the ignition retard angle corresponding to the knocking condition, and the ignition retard angle is adjusted according to the knocking parameter value representing the knocking degree of the engine, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of engine knocking and protect the engine. When the knocking parameter value exceeds the limit threshold, limit the power provided to the engine to further protect the engine, which can effectively reduce the risk of engine damage.

[0071] In some embodiments, to further reduce the risk of engine damage due to knocking, the knocking parameter value includes: the knocking value detected by a knocking sensor. In the above embodiments, adjusting the ignition retard angle according to the knocking parameter value representing the knocking degree of the engine can specifically include:

[0072] If the knocking value is less than the first threshold, then reduce the ignition retard angle.

[0073] If the knocking value is greater than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, then the ignition retard angle remains unchanged.

[0074] If the knocking value is greater than the second threshold and not greater than the limit threshold, then increase the ignition retard angle.

[0075] Specifically, refer to Figure 2As shown, when it is detected that the exhaust gas recirculation system has frozen, the diagnosis of faults such as EGR valve sticking and EGR flow is no longer carried out. At the same time, the knock intensity is detected and the self-learning of ignition angle retardation is carried out: when the engine speed, charge, torque, and load ratio are all greater than the corresponding limit values, it is in an easy-to-knock working condition. At this time, the ignition angle is actively retarded by X degrees. When the knock value is less than the limit value LIM1, the retardation angle X decreases; if the knock value is between the limit values LIM1 and LIM2, the ignition angle retardation X remains unchanged; if the knock is greater than the limit value LIM2, the ignition angle retardation X increases. The intensity of increase and decrease can be set with a fixed step size according to the actual situation, or the step size of ignition angle increase or decrease can be dynamically adjusted according to the severity of increase or decrease of the knock value, which is not limited here. If the knock value is greater than the limit value LIM3, the engine is immediately torque-limited to protect it.

[0076] In some other embodiments, to more accurately determine whether the exhaust gas recirculation system has frozen to improve the smooth progress of subsequent engine knock protection, determining whether the exhaust gas recirculation system is in a frozen state in the above embodiments may specifically include:

[0077] If the ambient temperature is lower than the first temperature value, the temperature of the EGR valve is lower than the second temperature value, and there is a stuck opening when driving the EGR valve to act, it is determined to be in a frozen state.

[0078] If the ambient temperature is within the first temperature range, the temperature of the EGR valve is lower than the second temperature value, the temperature of the engine coolant is lower than the third temperature value, and there is a stuck opening when driving the EGR valve to act, it is determined to be in a frozen state, and the minimum value of the first temperature range is the first temperature value.

[0079] If the temperature of the EGR valve is not lower than the second temperature value, or the temperature of the coolant is not lower than the third temperature value, or the ambient temperature is not lower than the maximum value of the first temperature range, it is determined not to be in a frozen state.

[0080] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the EGR temperature is the temperature of the EGR valve:

[0081] If the ambient temperature is lower than T1 °C (for example: -22 °C), the temperature is very low and the risk of freezing is high. At this time, if the EGR temperature is lower than T3 °C (for example: 0 °C), the EGR valve is driven to act once from 0% to 100%. If it gets stuck at a certain opening, it is determined that the EGR is frozen. Continuously monitor the EGR temperature. When it is higher than T3 °C (for example: 0 °C), it is determined that the EGR has thawed.

[0082] If the ambient temperature is between T2 °C and T1 °C (e.g., -7 °C to -22 °C), and the air temperature is low with a risk of icing. At this time, if the EGR temperature is lower than T3 °C (e.g., 0 °C), and the water temperature is lower than T4 °C (e.g., 60 °C), drive the EGR valve to act once from 0% to 100%. If it gets stuck at a certain opening degree, it is determined that the EGR is frozen. Continuously monitor the EGR temperature and the water temperature. When the EGR temperature is higher than T3 °C (e.g., 0 °C) or the water temperature is higher than T4 (e.g., 60 °C), it is judged that the EGR has thawed.

[0083] If the ambient temperature is above T2 °C (e.g., -7 °C), there is no risk of EGR icing.

[0084] Among them, when it is determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system has frozen, an EGR icing protection strategy (i.e., the processing procedures in steps 102 - 104 in the above embodiments) is executed to protect the engine. When it is determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system has not frozen (or during thawing), the EGR icing protection strategy can be lifted, and the control can be carried out according to the normal control strategy of the exhaust gas recirculation system.

[0085] When judging whether the exhaust gas recirculation system is frozen, it can also be judged according to the detection data of other temperature sensors (such as the intake air temperature sensor), actuators (whether the EGR flow is normal), etc., which is not limited here.

[0086] This exhaust gas recirculation control method can, when the exhaust gas recirculation system freezes and the engine is operating under a large load condition, not perform the fault diagnosis and alarm of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and ensure the normal operation of the engine by actively retarding the ignition angle or limiting the torque, which can effectively reduce the risk of engine damage during the thawing process.

[0087] The above introduced a kind of exhaust gas recirculation control method provided by the embodiments of the present application. Next, the device for executing the above exhaust gas recirculation control method will be introduced.
