Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of engine control technology, specifically to a torque control method, device, electronic equipment, and storage medium for a natural gas engine. Background Technology
[0002] Natural gas is a clean energy source, primarily composed of methane. Its combustion produces mainly carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, natural gas vehicles have significant advantages in terms of exhaust emissions. Compared to gasoline or diesel vehicles, natural gas vehicles emit almost no particulate matter and significantly reduce emissions of substances such as carbon monoxide. The intake path of a natural gas engine is: air filter → turbocharger → intercooler → throttle body → intake manifold → cylinder. The throttle body controls the intake air volume to achieve engine output torque, while the turbocharger controls the boost pressure before the throttle body to achieve engine torque control.
[0003] There are two existing torque control schemes for natural gas engines: 1. Directly look up the required throttle opening from a table based on the engine's required torque, and then look up the required turbocharger boost pressure from the same table. In this scheme, the relationship between the throttle and turbocharger is fixed and too rigid, making it impossible to adjust the relationship arbitrarily according to performance requirements. 2. Calculate the required intake air volume from a table based on the engine's required torque, and then calculate the required throttle opening using a throttling formula based on the required intake air volume; simultaneously, look up the required boost pressure from the required torque. In this scheme, the control process based on the throttle and turbocharger is too rigid, only controlling the flow rate before and after the throttle, but not the pressure ratio.
[0004] Controlling the engine using either of these two methods cannot achieve rapid control of the pressure ratio before and after the throttle valve or the pressure after the throttle valve, resulting in poor controllability of the torque or speed of the natural gas engine, which cannot meet user needs.

[0062] In order to achieve rapid control of the throttle body pressure ratio or the pressure after the throttle body and improve the controllability of engine torque, this application provides a torque control method and device for a natural gas engine, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a flowchart of a torque control method for a natural gas engine provided in this application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0064] S101. Determine the target control mode for the current natural gas engine demand;
[0065] Under different operating conditions, vehicles require different control modes for their engines. For example, some conditions require rapid control of engine power, which means rapid control of engine torque, while others require control of engine control stability, which means control of engine speed. Therefore, the target control mode can be either torque control mode or speed control mode.
[0066] Specifically, it can obtain the current engine torque demand status, speed control demand status, etc., and based on the above information, make a comprehensive decision to output the priority of the engine's current power demand and control stability demand, and determine the target control mode for the current natural gas engine demand according to the rule with the higher priority.
[0067] S102. Obtain the target parameters corresponding to the target control mode;
[0068] The control parameters of a natural gas engine include the pressure before the throttle. ptp Throttle body pressure map_set wait.
[0069] Specifically, the target parameters corresponding to the torque control mode provided in this application include: the actual throttle body pressure. ptp and the set throttle body pressure map_set .
[0070] Specifically, the target parameters corresponding to the speed control mode provided in this application include: the set throttle valve pressure. ptp_set and the set throttle body pressure map_set .
[0071] S103. Input the target parameter into the preset throttle opening formula to obtain the target throttle opening;
[0072] The throttle opening formula is obtained by combining the throttle equation used for throttle control with the velocity density method equation. The specific process is as follows:
[0073] S1. Based on the existing sensor configuration of natural gas engines, the throttle control equation is as follows:
[0074] ;
[0075] TPS stands for throttle opening. k 0 represents a correction factor based on air temperature. map The pressure after the throttle body. ptp This refers to the pressure before the throttle valve; f ( map / ptp The correction factor is based on the throttle body pressure ratio and is obtained by looking up a table. qm1 This refers to the airflow through the throttle body.
[0076] S2, The speed density method equation for throttle control is as follows:
[0077] ;
[0078] in, q m2 This refers to the airflow rate into the engine cylinders. map 1 represents the pressure after the throttle valve; 2 represents the EGR partial pressure and the fuel partial pressure, which are measured by fuel flow and EGR flow sensors; 3 represents the pressure-flow conversion coefficient, which is related to parameters such as engine speed, displacement, and charge coefficient, and the specific value is obtained by looking up a table; EGR represents the exhaust gas recirculation system.
[0079] S3. Based on the characteristics of the natural gas engine, the air flow rate through the throttle valve is... q m1 Equivalent to the airflow into the engine cylinder q m2 By combining the throttle control equation with the velocity density method equation, the following throttle opening formula is obtained:
[0080] .
[0081] Specifically, the target parameters for torque control mode include: actual throttle body pressure. ptp and the set throttle body pressure map_set The above throttle opening formula is then transformed as follows:
[0082] ;
[0083] When driven by power, the above throttle opening formula is based on the actual pressure before the throttle. ptp and the set throttle body pressure map_set The required throttle opening is calculated because, under power demand, the actual pressure before the throttle is used. ptp Based on this, the obtained throttle opening is... ptp When the pressure is insufficient or excessive, it can quickly adjust the throttle body to ensure the pressure after the throttle body. map The settings are consistent with reality.
[0084] Specifically, the target parameters corresponding to the speed control mode include: the set throttle valve pressure. ptp_set and the set throttle body pressure map_set The above throttle opening formula is then transformed as follows:
[0085] ;
[0086] When speed control is required, the above throttle opening formula... ptp / map When the set pressure ratio is used instead, the throttle will respond first to the pressure ratio before and after the throttle. At this time, the throttle opening is less affected by the actual external pressure parameters. Therefore, in the process of the engine controlling torque and thus controlling speed, the change of the throttle is less affected by the surrounding parameters, and the final output throttle opening is more stable.
[0087] Experiments revealed that the latter part of the above throttle opening formula is affected by the relationship between parameter b and the pressure after the throttle. map The difference is significant, so the latter part of the above throttle opening formula has little impact on the final throttle opening and can be omitted in some embodiments to simplify the calculation.
[0088] As can be seen, this application combines the throttle equation of throttle control with the velocity density method equation to achieve control of the manifold pressure and the pressure ratio before and after the throttle. It changes the original rigid throttle control method to a more flexible throttle control method, outputting the corresponding throttle opening under different throttle control requirements, thereby improving the controllability of engine torque.
[0089] S104. Control the torque of the natural gas engine according to the target throttle opening.
[0090] Based on the above throttle opening formula, the required intake air volume is obtained by looking up the required torque in a table. The required throttle pressure is then calculated by back-calculating the required torque and the above velocity density method equation. At the same time, the required set throttle front-to-back pressure ratio is obtained by looking up the required torque in a table. The required throttle front pressure is obtained by dividing the required throttle pressure by the required set throttle front-to-back pressure ratio. This required throttle front pressure is used for the closed-loop control of the turbocharger.
[0091] In some embodiments, the torque control method for the natural gas engine provided in this application may further include the following steps: after the manifold pressure stabilizes, determining whether the absolute value of the difference between the actual value and the preset value of the manifold pressure is greater than a first limit; if it is not greater than the first limit, no adjustment is required; if it is greater than the first limit, adjusting 'a' or 'b' in the throttle opening formula according to the throttle valve pre- and post-set pressure ratio, until the absolute value of the difference between the actual value and the preset value of the manifold pressure is not greater than the first limit. The first limit can be set according to actual conditions.
[0092] Specifically, adjusting 'a' or 'b' in the throttle opening formula based on the pre- and post-throttle pressure ratio includes: decreasing 'a' by a first preset step size if the pre- and post-throttle pressure ratio is greater than a second limit; and increasing 'b' by a second preset step size if the pre- and post-throttle pressure ratio is not greater than the second limit. The second limit can be set according to actual conditions.
[0093] In other words, after the manifold pressure stabilizes, determine if the absolute value of the manifold pressure (actual value - preset value) is greater than the first limit. If it is not greater, it indicates that the throttle control is accurate and no adjustment is needed; if it is greater than the first limit, it indicates that the throttle control is inaccurate and adjustment is required. Adjustment method: If the throttle front-to-rear pressure ratio ( map_set / ptp_set If the second limit is greater than the limit, then a = a + step0 in the formula; if the throttle body pressure ratio ( map_set / ptp_set If the value is less than the second limit, then b = b + step1 in the formula; step0 is a negative value and step1 is a positive value.
[0094] For ease of understanding, this application also provides, for example Figure 2 The flowchart illustrates a specific torque control method for a natural gas engine.

The throttle opening formula is obtained by combining the throttling equation used for throttle control with the velocity density method equation. Compared to existing technologies, this application utilizes the characteristics of a natural gas engine to combine the throttle equation used for throttle control with the velocity density method equation to obtain the throttle opening formula. For different target control modes, the throttle opening formula uses different target parameters to calculate the throttle opening, ensuring that the torque corresponding to the throttle opening can adapt to the target control mode, thereby improving the controllability of the natural gas engine.
