Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of motivation, and particularly relate to an engine combustion control method, device, equipment, storage medium and vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the increasingly stringent emission regulations and the increasing demand for energy saving, the optimization of engine combustion process has become a research focus. The traditional engine optimizes combustion by controlling parameters such as ignition timing and air-fuel ratio, but due to the randomness of factors such as in-cylinder airflow, fuel atomization and local mixture concentration, the combustion center of gravity fluctuates significantly between different cycles. Such cycle-to-cycle variation can cause the following problems:

[0003] Decreased combustion efficiency: the shift of combustion center of gravity can cause inconsistent flame propagation paths, and some fuel is not fully burned;

[0004] Emission deterioration: the increase of local high temperature or mixture too lean / too rich areas will promote the generation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) or particulate matter;

[0005] Unstable power output: cycle-to-cycle pressure fluctuations can affect the smoothness of torque output, thereby reducing the driving experience.

[0006] In the prior art, cycle-to-cycle variation is mainly suppressed by statistical average control strategies (such as closed-loop control based on crankshaft speed fluctuations), but such methods cannot directly regulate the position of the combustion center of gravity. In addition, although the application of cylinder pressure sensors, ion current detection and other sensor technologies can provide real-time data of the combustion process, there is a lack of dynamic collaborative control scheme with actuators, making it difficult to achieve precise and stable control of the combustion center of gravity.

[0054] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0055] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing the specific embodiments, and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. "Multiple" generally includes at least two.

[0056] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used herein is only to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents that the front and rear associated objects are a "or" relationship.

[0057] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the embodiments of the present application, these descriptions should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the description. For example, without departing from the scope of the embodiments of the present application, the first can also be called the second, and similarly, the second can also be called the first.

[0058] Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein can be interpreted to mean "when" or "while" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting." Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" can be interpreted to mean "when it is determined" or "in response to determining" or "when [the stated condition or event] is detected" or "in response to detecting [the stated condition or event]."

[0059] It is also important to note that the terms "comprises", "comprising", "includes", "including", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. An element proceeded by "comprises... a" does not, without more constraints, exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises the element.

[0060] In particular, it is expressly noted that, where the specification makes use of symbols and / or numerals that are not otherwise identified in the drawings, such symbols and / or numerals are not drawing reference numerals.

[0061] As mentioned in the background, it is difficult to accurately and stably control the engine combustion center of gravity in the prior art. The applicant found that, in the working process of the ammonia-hydrogen engine, the engine cycle variation changes due to the influence of various parameter changes, and the CA50 (combustion center of gravity) also changes. To ensure combustion stability, the CA50 can be predicted by calculating the center position of the combustion pressure waveform, and the flame propagation path is verified in combination with the ion current signal to correct the center of gravity position error. Finally, the CA50 is controlled within a preset range by adjusting the ignition parameters, dual-fuel regulation, and other means.

[0062] The fuel of the ammonia-hydrogen dual-fuel engine is a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen. Ammonia as the main fuel has the problems of slow combustion speed and difficult ignition, so it needs to be mixed with hydrogen. Because hydrogen has a fast combustion speed, it can effectively improve the overall combustion characteristics. Fuel regulation specifically includes ammonia-hydrogen ratio, injection strategy (such as injection timing, injection amount, injection pressure), and ignition timing.

[0063] Firstly, the influence of fuel ratio, if the hydrogen mixing ratio is increased, the combustion speed may be accelerated by virtue of the high reactivity of hydrogen, thereby causing the CA50 to advance; on the contrary, if the hydrogen mixing ratio is reduced, the combustion speed will slow down, and the CA50 may be delayed. In addition, the combustion characteristics of ammonia itself (such as flame propagation speed, ignition delay time, etc.) also need to be considered, and finally the fuel ratio that can ensure stable ignition and control the combustion center of gravity at the best position is determined.

[0064] Secondly, the influence of injection strategy. If hydrogen is injected in advance, it may make the mixture more uniform, or form a stratified mixture, which in turn affects the combustion process. Among them, the influence of injection timing on combustion phase is particularly significant: for example, early injection may make the mixture fully mixed, leading to early combustion, and CA50 will advance accordingly; delayed injection may lead to insufficient mixing of the mixture, causing ignition delay, and CA50 will also be delayed accordingly.

[0065] Finally, the influence of ignition timing. Adjusting the ignition time will directly change the time of combustion start, thereby affecting CA50: for example, advancing the ignition will make the combustion start earlier, leading to an advance of CA50, but may cause engine knock; delaying the ignition will make the combustion start time shift, and CA50 will be delayed accordingly.

[0066] Based on the above research, the applicant finally proposes the following technical scheme:

[0067] Figure 1 is a flowchart of an engine combustion control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 is a working stroke schematic diagram of an internal combustion engine, and the present embodiment is at least applicable to the control scene of engine test development. The engine combustion control method can be executed by the engine combustion control device in the embodiment of the present application as an execution subject, but is not limited thereto. The execution subject can be realized in the form of software and / or hardware. As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 7 , the engine combustion control method at least includes the following steps:

[0068] S1, at least collecting cylinder pressure data and ion current data.

[0069] The cylinder pressure data can be collected by a cylinder pressure sensor. When the engine is working, the pressure waveform in the cylinder can be monitored in real time by the cylinder pressure sensor, and then the signal (at least containing the cylinder pressure data) is transmitted to the electronic control unit (ECU). The ion current data can be collected by an ion current sensor. After the engine is ignited, the ion current sensor can be used to collect the propagation path information of the flame in the cylinder (i.e. ion current data).

[0070] S2, determining the combustion center of gravity position value based on the cylinder pressure data.

[0071] The combustion center of gravity position refers to the position of the point where the force generated by the combustion in the engine acts on the whole engine. The combustion center of gravity position can be confirmed at least by the following methods:

[0072] ;

[0073] In the formula, CGpressure represents a combustion center position value, θ represents a crank angle, P(θ) represents a curve of in-cylinder pressure with respect to crank angle θ, θ start represents an engine combustion start timing end represents an engine combustion end timing. It is known that the integral interval θ start to θ end can cover the main stage of the combustion process.

[0074] S3, determining a center of gravity offset based on ion current data.

[0075] wherein the center of gravity offset is used to correct the center of gravity position error. The center of gravity offset can be determined at least by the following way:

[0076] ;

[0077] wherein, CG ion represents a center of gravity offset, I(θ) represents ion current data (is the time when the flame front reaches the sensor position), θ ignition represents an ignition timing, θ i represents a crank angle corresponding to the ion current peak.

[0078] S4, determining a fusion weight coefficient based on cylinder pressure data and ion current data.

[0079] wherein, in one specific embodiment, optionally, the cylinder pressure data at least includes a cylinder pressure current signal; the ion current data at least includes an ion current signal. In another specific embodiment, optionally, the fusion weight coefficient can be determined at least by the following way:

[0080] ;

[0081] ;

[0082] wherein, represents a fusion weight coefficient corresponding to the center of gravity position value, represents a fusion weight coefficient corresponding to the center of gravity offset, represents a standard deviation of the cylinder pressure current signal, represents a standard deviation of the ion current signal.

[0083] S5, determining a standard center of gravity position value based at least on the center of gravity position value, the center of gravity offset and the fusion weight coefficient.

[0084] wherein, the standard center of gravity position value can be determined at least by the following way:

[0085] ;

[0086] In the formula, CG final represents a standard center of gravity position value.

[0087] S6, controlling the engine combustion state based on at least the standard center of gravity position value and a preset target value.

[0088] The control of the engine combustion state can be adjusting the ignition timing, the fuel supply amount, and the EGR introduction rate (i.e., the EGR rate) according to the variation of the center of gravity position of combustion, so as to adjust the center of gravity of combustion, and make the engine combustion state more stable.

[0089] The technical solution provided by the embodiment first acquires at least cylinder pressure data and ion current data; secondly, determines a center of gravity position value of combustion based on the cylinder pressure data; thirdly, determines a center of gravity offset based on the ion current data; fourthly, determines a fusion weight coefficient based on the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data; then, determines a standard center of gravity position value based on at least the center of gravity position value of combustion, the center of gravity offset, and the fusion weight coefficient; and finally, controls the engine combustion state based on at least the standard center of gravity position value and a preset target value.

[0090] It can be seen that, on one hand, the embodiment synchronously acquires cylinder pressure data and ion current data, and determines the center of gravity position of combustion and the center of gravity offset based on the acquired cylinder pressure data and ion current data, and then accurately determines the current standard center of gravity position, so as to accurately adjust the center of gravity position of engine combustion in the future, and guarantee the engine combustion efficiency. On the other hand, the embodiment controls the engine combustion state by comparing the standard center of gravity position with a preset target value, which can effectively improve the accuracy of engine control, and further improve the engine combustion efficiency.

[0091] On the basis of the above embodiment or implementation, Figure 2 is a flowchart of another engine combustion control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 is a flowchart of still another engine combustion control method provided by the embodiment of the present application, which is based on the above embodiment and is additionally detailed. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The engine combustion control method at least includes the following steps:

[0092] S1, acquiring at least cylinder pressure data and ion current data.

[0093] S2, determining a center of gravity position value of combustion based on the cylinder pressure data.

[0094] S3, determining a center of gravity offset based on the ion current data.

[0095] S7, if the difference between the center of gravity position value of combustion and the center of gravity offset is greater than a preset standard value, at least prompting a user that the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data are abnormal.

[0096] It can be understood that step S6 can be understood as a correction mechanism to prevent abnormalities.

[0097] Exemplarily, the difference between the combustion center of gravity position and the center of gravity offset is greater than a preset standard value, which can be represented as:

[0098] | CG pressure − CG ion | > Δ threshold ;

[0099] In the formula, Δ threshold represents a preset standard value, which can be 3°CA. It can be understood that when the difference between the standard center of gravity position and the preset target value is greater than the preset standard value, it is determined that the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data are abnormal at this time, and the user needs to be reminded to check whether the sensor data is abnormal (such as signal loss or noise surge), at this time, the combustion center of gravity trend fitted by the historical data is used to interpolate control the engine working state, if the abnormality is continuous, the user needs to be prompted to switch to a backup control mode. If the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data are abnormal, the subsequent operation process is normally executed.

[0100] S4, determining a fusion weight coefficient based on the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data.

[0101] S5, determining a standard center of gravity position value based on at least the combustion center of gravity position value, the center of gravity offset, and the fusion weight coefficient.

[0102] S61, if the difference between the standard center of gravity position value and the preset target value meets a first preset condition, it is determined that the engine is in a normal working state.

[0103] Wherein, the preset target value is a reasonable combustion center of gravity position under the current working condition obtained through calibration. In some scenarios, the preset target value can also be the standard center of gravity position value of the last moment. The first preset condition can be:

[0104] -5≤ CG final − CG≤2.

[0105] In the formula, CG represents the preset target value.

[0106] S81, obtaining the nitrogen oxide content of the last moment and the current moment.

[0107] S82, determining a current emission level based on the nitrogen oxide content.

[0108] Wherein, the emission level can be determined at least by the following way:

[0109] ;

[0110] In the formula, A represents the emission level, NOx1 represents the nitrogen oxide content at the current moment, and NOx0 represents the nitrogen oxide content at the previous moment.

[0111] S83. Adjust the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) introduction rate based on the current emission level.

[0112] If A is greater than 10%, emissions are considered poor. In this case, the EGR induction rate should be increased to reduce emissions, and the CA50 detection and adjustment steps described above should be repeated until the requirements are met. If A is not greater than 10%, emissions are considered good, and the EGR induction rate should not be adjusted.

[0113] S84. At least after the EGR introduction rate is adjusted, obtain the excess air coefficient at the current moment and the previous moment, and control the engine combustion state based on the excess air coefficient.

[0114] It is known that the excess air coefficient λ changes after the EGR introduction rate changes. We compare λ1 at this point with λ0 from the previous time step (or cycle):

[0115] like, If the value is >5%, it is considered that the λ fluctuates significantly. In this case, λ should be adjusted by controlling the throttle and fuel injection quantity, and the CA50 detection and adjustment steps described above should be repeated until the requirements are met. If when If the value is less than 5%, then the fluctuation of λ is considered reasonable and the system is working normally.

[0116] Understandably, the closer the CA50 (center of gravity position value) is to top dead center, the closer the combustion process is to ideal isochoric combustion, and the higher the thermal efficiency. However, if the CA50 is too early, it will cause engine knocking, and if it is too late, it will reduce efficiency due to energy loss during the expansion stroke. In addition, the stability of CA50 can also reflect the degree of cyclic fluctuation in the combustion process. If the fluctuation is too large, it may cause misfire or knocking problems.

[0117] In traditional gasoline / diesel engines, the optimal range of CA50 is usually 8-15° CA ATDC (after top dead center); but in ammonia-hydrogen engines, the combustion characteristics of ammonia and the mixing effect of hydrogen need to be considered comprehensively. Ammonia fuel combustion has a lag, and pure ammonia combustion is extremely slow, with a laminar flame speed only 1 / 5 of that of gasoline, which can cause CA50 to be significantly delayed, possibly exceeding 30° CA ATDC, so 5%-30% hydrogen needs to be mixed to accelerate combustion. Specifically, when the hydrogen proportion is low (<10%), CA50 needs to be controlled at 15-25° CA ATDC, and the problem of insufficient combustion speed can be compensated by optimizing the ignition timing or using stratified injection technology; when the hydrogen proportion is medium to high (10%-30%), CA50 can be close to the optimal range of 8-15° CA ATDC of traditional fuel engines, but due to the high activity of hydrogen, the risk of knock needs to be avoided. In addition, under lean burn conditions, CA50 needs to be slightly advanced (such as controlled at 12° CA ATDC) to compensate for the decrease in combustion speed caused by lean mixture; under low load conditions, CA50 can be appropriately advanced to 12-15° CA ATDC to improve thermal efficiency, while the hydrogen mixing proportion can be reduced to 5%-10%; under high load conditions, CA50 needs to be appropriately delayed (such as controlled at 18° CA ATDC) to suppress knock and avoid excessive engine thermal load.

[0118] When CA50 is advanced, the thermal efficiency of the engine will increase, as the combustion is closer to an isochoric process, and the effective work increases; at the same time, the combustion stability will also be enhanced, as the rapid combustion of hydrogen can shorten the ignition delay period and reduce the cycle fluctuation. However, advancing CA50 also has obvious drawbacks: first, the risk of knock increases, and the rate of increase in in-cylinder pressure is too large, especially in ammonia-hydrogen mixture, which may cause abnormal combustion due to local hot spots; second, NOx emissions increase, and the extension of the high-temperature combustion phase will promote the generation of thermal NOx, which needs to be mitigated with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) or aftertreatment technology; third, the mechanical load of the engine increases, and the peak in-cylinder pressure may exceed the bearing limit of the cylinder material.

[0119] Delaying CA50 can suppress knock and reduce the peak combustion pressure, which is suitable for high load or high compression ratio conditions; at the same time, the combustion temperature decreases, which can reduce NOx generation. However, delaying CA50 also has disadvantages: first, the thermal efficiency decreases, as the energy release of combustion is delayed to the expansion stroke, which significantly reduces the work capacity, and the efficiency loss can be 5%-10%; second, the combustion instability increases, as the slow combustion of ammonia may cause misfire or partial combustion, which in turn produces NH3 (ammonia) escape or N2O (nitrous oxide), a strong greenhouse gas; third, it is prone to afterburning, as the extension of the combustion duration will increase the exhaust temperature, which may damage the turbocharger.

[0120] Therefore, how to accurately control the combustion center position CA50 is particularly important for controlling the combustion efficiency of the engine.

[0121] S62, if the difference between the standard center of gravity position value and the preset target value satisfies a second preset condition, then regulating the engine combustion state based on the difference between the standard center of gravity position value and the preset target value.

[0122] The regulation can be sending an ignition advance angle instruction to an electronic ignition system by using an ECU to achieve dynamic regulation of the ignition advance angle. The second preset condition can be:

[0123] CG final −CG>2 or CG final −CG<-5. In yet another specific embodiment, step S62 specifically comprises:

[0124] (62-1) if the difference between the standard center of gravity position value and the preset target value satisfies a first sub-condition of the second preset condition, then determining that the standard center of gravity position value is shifted backward and the ignition timing of the engine is advanced.

[0125] The first sub-condition can be CG final −CG>2. The advance can be controlling the standard center of gravity position value at 12°CA ATDC.

[0126] (62-2) if the difference between the standard center of gravity position value and the preset target value satisfies a second sub-condition of the second preset condition, then determining that the standard center of gravity position value is shifted forward and the ignition timing of the engine is retarded.

[0127] The second sub-condition can be CG final −CG<-5. The advance or retardation of the CA50 ignition timing of the engine (i.e. the ignition timing) can be achieved by controlling the dual-fuel regulation, adjusting the ignition segments, etc. to advance or retard the CA50 ignition timing. The retardation can be controlling the standard center of gravity position value at 18°CA ATDC.

[0128] The technical scheme provided by the embodiment first acquires at least cylinder pressure data and ion current data. Further, a combustion barycenter position value is determined based on the cylinder pressure data. Further, a barycenter offset is determined based on the ion current data. Further, if a difference between the combustion barycenter position value and the barycenter offset is greater than a preset standard value, at least the user is prompted that the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data are abnormal. Further, a fusion weight coefficient is determined based on the cylinder pressure data and the ion current data. Further, a standard barycenter position value is determined based on at least the combustion barycenter position value, the barycenter offset and the fusion weight coefficient. Further, if a difference between the standard barycenter position value and a preset target value meets a first preset condition, it is confirmed that the engine is in a normal working state.
