Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hybrid vehicle engine preheating, and in particular to a hybrid vehicle engine cold start preheating method, system, equipment and medium. Background Art
[0002] To reduce fuel consumption and emissions in commercial vehicles, the industry is developing hybrid systems for commercial vehicles, adding an electromechanical control system to traditional diesel engines. These systems switch between different hybrid drive modes based on the vehicle's operating conditions, using electricity for short-distance, low-temperature, and urban driving conditions, and gasoline for long-distance, suburban, and highway driving. This optimizes energy utilization, resulting in optimal fuel consumption and minimal emissions. Therefore, the engine is shut down in unsuitable operating conditions and started in suitable conditions.
[0003] Due to the unique combustion characteristics of diesel engines, starting the engine in low ambient temperatures requires heating the engine's intake system or coolant before it can be started successfully. Therefore, both pure diesel and hybrid diesel vehicles are equipped with a cold start preheating system.
[0004] The current cold start preheating system of diesel engines can be divided into two types: in-cylinder preheating and out-of-cylinder preheating: 1. In-cylinder preheating: An electric heating plug is installed at the top of the engine cylinder. Before the engine is started, the electric heating plug is energized. The heat emitted by the electric heating plug increases the temperature in the engine cylinder, thereby improving the engine's cold start performance; 2. Out-of-cylinder preheating: An electric heating grid is installed in the engine's intake pipe. Before the engine is started, the electric heating grid is energized. The heat emitted by the electric heating grid increases the air temperature in the engine's intake pipe. When the engine starts, the hotter air is sucked into the cylinder to participate in combustion, thereby improving the engine's cold start performance.
[0005] However, the cold start preheating system of the above diesel engine has the following disadvantages: 1) The system is complex and the cost is high: whether it is in-cylinder preheating or out-of-cylinder preheating, an electric heating system needs to be installed on the engine, and the power is large, requiring high-specification heaters, wires, relays and other components, which are expensive; 2) There are safety hazards: Due to the use of high-power heaters, there will be high temperatures and currents during the heating process. After long-term use of the vehicle, the performance of the electrical components will age, which may easily cause electrical short circuits, relay electric shock and adhesion, and even vehicle fires; 3) The cold start failure rate is high and it does not support multiple uses within a period of time: The heater will degrade in performance after being used many times. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the engine cold start, preheating is required multiple times, but the preheating process will consume a large amount of low-voltage battery power. If the low-voltage battery power is insufficient, it may cause the vehicle's starter to output insufficient power or fail to work, resulting in start failure.
[0006] To address the above issues, relevant technical personnel have designed a variety of engine preheating methods. For example, the patent application document with publication number CN111255541A discloses a hybrid vehicle engine preheating system, in which the engine coolant outlet is connected to the engine radiator via a first pipe, and the engine coolant inlet is connected to the engine radiator via a second pipe; the motor cooler inlet is connected to the electric drive radiator via a third pipe, and the motor oil cooler outlet is connected to the electric drive radiator via a fourth pipe. The first and third pipes are connected and a solenoid valve is provided at the connection point, and the second and fourth pipes are connected and a solenoid valve is provided at the connection point. However, the above system directly utilizes the heat of the motor coolant and relies on the motor operating conditions. If the motor is not running, it cannot be preheated. It is more suitable for hybrid passenger vehicles and relies on the motor's waste heat, which may be insufficient in extremely low temperatures. Summary of the Invention
[0007] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a hybrid vehicle engine cold start preheating method, system, equipment and medium, which are suitable for hybrid diesel engine vehicles and can eliminate the existing electrical heating cold start preheating system, eliminate the safety hazards caused by electrical aging and reduce costs, and improve cold start performance and reduce the start failure rate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and / or scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the invention pertains. It should be understood that certain features of the invention (described in the context of separate embodiments for clarity) may also be provided in combination in a single embodiment.

Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and substance of the invention should be included within the scope of protection of the invention.
[0039] See also Figure 1 , is a flow chart of the cold start preheating method for a hybrid vehicle engine of this application, which is described in detail as follows:
[0040] Step S100 , collecting the temperature of the battery pack coolant of the hybrid vehicle to obtain first temperature information.
[0041] Specifically, please combine Figure 3When the vehicle is in the starting state, the power battery outputs power, and the temperature sensor collects the battery pack coolant temperature of the hybrid power battery in real time to obtain real-time temperature information, that is, the first temperature information.
[0042] Step S200: When the first temperature information meets the first preset heating threshold, the engine cold start preheating strategy is executed; when the first temperature information does not meet the first preset heating threshold, the battery pack coolant is self-preheated.
[0043] Specifically, the lower limit of the first preset heating threshold t1 of this application must be higher than the low-temperature performance critical point of the power battery to prevent the power battery's charging and discharging efficiency from decreasing due to low temperatures; the upper limit should be lower than the power battery's optimal operating temperature limit to prevent overheating that affects battery life. The first preset heating threshold of this application can be set based on the performance characteristics of the power battery, for example, t1 is 10°C to 15°C.
[0044] More specifically, when the battery pack coolant temperature is less than t1, it is determined that the first temperature information does not meet the first preset heating threshold, the electronic water pump is started, and the heater is used to heat the battery pack coolant to complete self-preheating of the battery pack coolant.
[0045] In step S300, when executing the engine cold start preheating strategy, the engine coolant temperature of the hybrid vehicle is collected to obtain second temperature information. When the second temperature information does not meet the engine start threshold, the engine coolant is preheated using the battery pack coolant until the second temperature information meets the engine start threshold.
[0046] Specifically, when the battery pack coolant temperature is ≥ t1, the first temperature information is determined to meet the first preset heating threshold, and the engine cold start preheating strategy is executed. At this point, the first temperature information is re-evaluated. If the first temperature information exceeds the second preset heating threshold, the battery pack coolant is cooled until the first temperature information meets the second preset heating threshold. At this point, the battery pack coolant is used to preheat the engine coolant, where the second preset heating threshold is greater than the first preset heating threshold.
[0047] More specifically, the second preset heating threshold in this application is the battery pack coolant temperature drop threshold. When the battery pack coolant temperature is too high, it must first be cooled to below this threshold before being used to preheat the engine coolant to prevent engine overheating or battery performance damage. The lower limit of the second preset heating threshold in this application should be higher than the first preset heating threshold to ensure preheating efficiency; the lower limit must be lower than the power battery high temperature warning threshold. The specific setting depends on the power battery type and is combined with the engine coolant target temperature. For example, the second preset heating threshold is 25°C to 30°C.
[0048] More specifically, the value of the second preset heating threshold of the present application is greater than the value of the engine start threshold. The engine start threshold of the present application is the threshold for meeting the standard of the second temperature information. When the engine is cold-started, the viscosity of the engine oil increases as the temperature decreases. It is necessary to ensure that the engine coolant temperature reaches a certain range, such as 20°C~30°C, to ensure that the engine lubrication system works effectively; and the fuel atomization is poor at low engine temperatures, and it needs to be preheated to at least 15°C to reduce incomplete combustion and carbon deposits. The present application relies on the battery pack coolant of the power battery to preheat the engine, and it is necessary to avoid the engine coolant temperature being too high, causing the battery pack coolant to overheat and affect battery performance. Therefore, the engine start threshold of the present application is set according to the influence of the above factors, for example, 15°C~20°C. In actual applications, if the engine start threshold requirement is higher, such as reaching 25°C in plateau areas, the second preset heating threshold needs to be increased simultaneously to ensure that the battery pack coolant can provide sufficient heat.
[0049] More specifically, when the engine coolant temperature is less than the engine start threshold t2, the three-way valve on the power battery and engine coolant circulation pipeline is opened, and the battery pack coolant is used to preheat the engine coolant until the second temperature information meets the engine start threshold, and then the engine is started.
[0050] See also Figure 2 The present invention also provides a hybrid vehicle engine cold start preheating system, including an engine 1, a power battery 2 and a first electronically controlled three-way valve 8. The engine 1 and the power battery 2 are connected by a pipeline to form a coolant circulation loop. The first electronically controlled three-way valve 8 is arranged on the coolant circulation loop, and a coolant self-preheating loop is formed between the first electronically controlled three-way valve 8 and the power battery 2, and an engine starting preheating loop is formed between the first electronically controlled three-way valve 8 and the engine 1. The coolant self-preheating loop and the engine 1 starting preheating loop are connected by opening the first electronically controlled three-way valve 8 to form a coolant circulation loop.
[0051] Specifically, the hybrid vehicle's electric drive system primarily includes a drive motor and a power battery 2. To ensure proper battery operation, thermal management is required: cooling the battery pack when temperatures are too high and heating it when temperatures are too low. When the battery begins operating, the battery module generates heat, requiring coolant to cool and dissipate the heat. At this point, the heat generated by the battery pack is transferred to the engine 1 through the coolant circulation line, raising the engine coolant temperature. This, in turn, raises the overall temperature of components such as the engine cylinders and intake manifolds, effectively preheating the engine.
[0052] Specifically, the system of the present application further includes a first temperature sensor 5 installed in the coolant self-heating circuit and a second temperature sensor 6 installed in the engine start-up preheating circuit. The first temperature sensor 5 and the second temperature sensor 6 of the present application are respectively used to measure the coolant temperature in their corresponding circuits in real time.
[0053] Specifically, the system of the present application further includes a second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 and a heater 3 installed in the coolant self-preheating circuit. The second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 is located at the liquid inlet of the heater 3. The heater 3 of the present application is used to heat the coolant. When the battery temperature is low, the coolant in the battery pack needs to be heated to keep the battery operating at a suitable ambient temperature.
[0054] Specifically, the system of the present application further includes a third electrically controlled three-way valve 10 and a radiator 4 installed in the coolant self-preheating circuit. The third electrically controlled three-way valve 10 is located at the liquid inlet of the radiator 4. The radiator 4 of the present application is used to dissipate heat from the coolant. When the coolant temperature is too high, the VCU controls the three-way valve to conduct to allow the coolant to flow through the radiator 4.
[0055] Specifically, the present application controls the different opening and closing states of the first electrically controlled three-way valve 8, the second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 and the third electrically controlled three-way valve 10, so that the 2-phase or 3-phase pipelines in the connected pipelines are connected, which is used to control the flow direction and on-off of the coolant in the pipeline.
[0056] Specifically, the system of the present application further includes an electronic water pump 11 installed on the coolant self-preheating circuit, which is used to promote the flow of coolant.
[0057] Specifically, the system of the present application also includes a vehicle controller 7 (VCU), which is used to monitor the coolant temperature in the diesel engine 1, the coolant temperature of the power battery 2, control the electronic water pump 11 and control the electronically controlled three-way valve.
[0058] Specifically, after a vehicle equipped with the system of the present application is started, the battery pack coolant temperature is monitored in real time. When the temperature is less than a first preset heating threshold, the second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 can be opened, and the electronic water pump 11 and heater 3 can be used to self-preheat the coolant. When the temperature after self-preheating reaches the first preset heating threshold, the second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 is closed. At this time, if the temperature exceeds the second preset heating threshold, the third electrically controlled three-way valve 10 is opened, and the first and second electrically controlled three-way valves 8 and 9 are closed. The coolant is cooled using the radiator 4. When the temperature drops to the second preset heating threshold, the second electrically controlled three-way valve 9 is closed and the first electrically controlled three-way valve 8 is opened. At this time, the coolant temperature reaches the second preset heating threshold. The coolant self-preheating circuit and the engine start-up preheating circuit are connected by opening the first electrically controlled three-way valve 8 to form a coolant circulation loop, allowing the higher temperature coolant to flow through the entire cooling pipe and cooling water jacket of the engine 1. Since the cooling water jacket in the engine 1 is spread over the entire body of the engine 1 , the cylinder and the intake pipe of the engine 1 can be fully preheated, thereby achieving the effect of preheating when starting.
[0059] See also Figure 4, which is a framework diagram of a hybrid vehicle engine cold start preheating system 400 of this application, including:
[0060] The acquisition module 410 is configured to acquire the temperature of the battery pack coolant of the hybrid vehicle to obtain first temperature information;
[0061] The self-preheating module 420 is configured to execute the engine cold start preheating strategy when the first temperature information meets the first preset heating threshold; and to self-preheat the battery pack coolant when the first temperature information does not meet the first preset heating threshold;
[0062] The cold start preheating module 430 is used to collect the engine coolant temperature of the hybrid vehicle to obtain second temperature information when executing the engine cold start preheating strategy. When the second temperature information does not meet the engine start threshold, the battery pack coolant is used to preheat the engine coolant until the second temperature information meets the engine start threshold.
