Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of range extender control technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for protecting a turbocharger. Background Technology

[0002] A range extender is an onboard power generation device primarily used to charge the battery of an electric vehicle, rather than directly driving the vehicle. When the battery is low, the range extender starts generating electricity to extend the vehicle's driving range. A range extender mainly consists of an engine and a generator, with the engine and generator connected by a drive system. The engine's output power drives the generator to generate electricity. A turbocharger is a device that improves engine combustion efficiency by compressing intake air. A turbocharger increases the amount of air entering the engine, resulting in more complete combustion and allowing for greater power and torque output within the same displacement.

[0003] During the operation of the range extender, the engine combustion provides power, and the temperature inside the engine cylinder is very high at this time, while the coolant flows to dissipate heat. When the operation ends, the range extender stops, and the engine stops rotating. At this time, the temperature inside the engine cylinder is still very high, but the coolant flow is interrupted, which causes the turbocharger to overheat and generate oil coking, which in turn damages the turbocharger. Summary of the Invention

[0007] When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to run at a preset torque to shut down the engine.

[0008] When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0021] The sensorless shutdown speed is determined based on the minimum speed of coolant circulation and the critical values ​​of noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameters.

[0022] Optionally, after a preset time but before controlling the generator speed to 0, the following steps are also included:

[0023] Obtain oil pressure, oil temperature, turbocharger regenerative temperature, and target temperature;

[0024] The preset time is determined based on the oil pressure, oil temperature, turbocharger regeneration temperature, and target temperature.

[0030] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a turbocharger protection device is provided for performing a turbocharger protection method, the turbocharger protection device comprising:

[0031] The idle speed detection module is used to determine whether the range extender is in an idle state when the vehicle is powered off.

[0032] The idle stop module is used to output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and control the generator to run at a preset torque when the range extender is idling, so as to drive the engine to stop.

[0033] The non-idle cooling module is used to output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and control the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed when the range extender is in a non-idle state.

[0034] The non-idle speed shutdown module controls the generator speed to 0 after a preset time.

[0035] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a computer device is provided, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor implements a booster protection method when executing the computer program.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0051] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of a first turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0052] S10. When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0053] In this invention, the vehicle power-off can be caused by the driver triggering the vehicle key, resulting in a complete vehicle power-off. The turbocharger protection method in this embodiment is executed after the vehicle power-off because the range extender needs to shut down after power-off, which interrupts the flow of engine coolant, leading to a high turbocharger regeneration temperature. The technical solution of this embodiment determines whether the range extender is in an idling state when the vehicle power-off occurs. The operating state of the engine differs between idling and non-idling states, resulting in different turbocharger regeneration temperatures. The technical solution of this embodiment executes different protection strategies based on the idling and non-idling states of the range extender.

[0054] S11. When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to drive the engine to stop.

[0055] When the range extender is idling, the engine is running at a low torque. It is assumed that the probability of the range extender stopping at this time causing the turbocharger to overheat and become too hot is low. Therefore, the range extender is controlled to stop quickly.

[0056] The range extender's rapid shutdown mechanism involves sending a fuel cut-off command to the engine, causing it to slow down; simultaneously, it controls the generator to operate at a preset torque, which is the torque required to shut down the engine. By controlling the generator to operate at the preset torque, the generator can assist the engine in a rapid shutdown, quickly reducing the engine speed to 0.

[0057] S12. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0058] When the range extender is not idling, it indicates that the engine is operating at high torque. It is assumed that stopping the range extender at this time would cause the turbocharger to overheat, so the range extender is cooled down before being shut down. First, a fuel cut-off command is output, causing the engine speed to decrease and the generator speed to be adjusted from the current speed to the automatic shutdown speed. This automatic shutdown speed is a low speed that ensures the engine coolant continues to circulate and cool the engine. While the generator drives the engine to maintain this automatic shutdown speed, the engine coolant continues to circulate and cool the engine.

[0059] S13. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0060] The preset time can be the time it takes for the coolant to cool down to the ideal temperature. The ideal temperature can be the turbocharger's regenerative braking temperature, which will not cause the engine oil to coke. After the preset time for engine coolant circulation, the turbocharger's regenerative braking temperature is assumed to have reached the ideal temperature. At this point, there is no need to maintain the generator at a non-intrusive shutdown speed; the generator speed is controlled to 0, and the range extender completes shutdown.

[0061] Specifically, when the range extender needs to be shut down after the vehicle is powered off, the system first checks whether the range extender is idling to indirectly determine whether stopping the range extender at this time will cause the turbocharger to overheat and cause oil coking. When the range extender is idling, the probability of overheating the turbocharger is considered low, so the generator torque is controlled to assist in a quick shutdown. When the range extender is not idling, it is considered that stopping the range extender will inevitably cause the turbocharger to overheat, so the generator is first controlled to maintain a non-intrusive shutdown speed for a preset time to cool the engine. After the preset time, the range extender is then shut down, thus protecting the turbocharger.

[0062] The technical solution of this invention solves the problem of excessive turbocharger reheat temperature and oil coking caused by interruption of engine coolant flow when the range extender is shut down, which leads to turbocharger damage. It protects the turbocharger and meets the user's need for quick power-off, thus improving the user experience.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a second turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0064] S20. When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0065] S21. When the range extender is idling, output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and obtain the turbocharger's regenerative temperature.

[0066] One issue is that when the range extender is idling, the engine cylinder temperature may still be high, potentially leading to a higher turbocharger regenerative temperature. This is because if the range extender has maintained high-speed operation for a period before idling, the engine cylinder temperature may not have dropped to a lower level. Stopping the engine at this point would still result in a higher turbocharger regenerative temperature. Therefore, to ensure accurate turbocharger protection, the turbocharger regenerative temperature is determined after the range extender is identified as idling.

[0067] S22. When the turbocharger regeneration temperature is lower than the preset temperature, control the generator to operate at the preset torque.

[0068] The preset temperature can be the critical temperature value that causes coking of the engine oil in the turbocharger. When the turbocharger's regenerative temperature is lower than the preset temperature, it means that the turbocharger's regenerative temperature is low and will not affect the engine oil. Therefore, the generator is controlled to operate at the preset torque to assist in shutdown.

[0069] S23. When the turbocharger regeneration temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, control the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0070] When the turbocharger regeneration temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, it indicates that the turbocharger regeneration temperature is too high and there is a risk of oil coking. Therefore, the generator speed is controlled to maintain the speed at which the engine stops automatically, so that the engine coolant continues to circulate and cool down.

[0071] S24. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0072] When the engine coolant has circulated for a preset time, the turbocharger's regeneration temperature is assumed to reach the ideal temperature. At this point, there is no need to keep the generator at a non-intrusive shutdown speed. The generator speed is controlled to 0, and the range extender completes shutdown.

[0073] S25. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0074] S26. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0075] The technical solution of this invention further determines the current turbocharger regeneration temperature when the range extender is idling, and controls the generator speed to be maintained at the non-intrusive shutdown speed when the turbocharger regeneration temperature is greater than the preset temperature, so as to ensure the engine coolant circulation and cooling, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of turbocharger protection.

[0076] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a third turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0077] S30. When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0078] S31. When the range extender is idling, output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and obtain the turbocharger's regenerative temperature.

[0079] S32. When the turbocharger regeneration temperature is lower than the preset temperature, obtain the required shutdown time.

[0080] The required downtime can be the fast downtime set by the system.

[0081] S33. Determine the preset torque based on the required downtime and the relationship between downtime and generator torque.

[0082] The relationship between shutdown time and generator torque can be a pre-defined correspondence between shutdown time and engine torque. Based on the required shutdown time, the corresponding generator torque can be determined, ensuring that the generator, operating at a preset torque, can stop within the required shutdown time, thus achieving rapid shutdown.

[0083] S34. Control the generator to operate at a preset torque.

[0084] S35. When the turbocharger regeneration temperature is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, control the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0085] S36. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0086] S37. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0087] S38. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0088] The technical solution of this invention improves the user experience by determining a preset torque between shutdowns based on demand, thereby achieving rapid shutdown.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the fourth turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0090] S40. When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0091] S41. When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to shut down the engine.

[0092] S42. When the range extender is not idling, obtain the minimum coolant circulation speed and the critical values ​​of the noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameters. Among them, the minimum coolant circulation speed is the minimum speed required to ensure that the engine coolant is circulating and cooling.

[0093] The critical value of the noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameter can be a preset maximum value of the noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameter that is subjectively acceptable to the driver. To further improve the user experience, the imperceptible shutdown speed can be determined by combining the minimum coolant circulation speed and the critical value of the noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameter.

[0094] The minimum speed for coolant circulation can be a pre-determined minimum speed that ensures engine coolant circulation.

[0095] S43. Determine the sensorless shutdown speed based on the minimum coolant circulation speed and the critical value of the noise-vibration-acoustic roughness parameters.

[0096] Specifically, the sensorless shutdown speed needs to be greater than or equal to the minimum coolant circulation speed to ensure that the engine coolant can circulate and cool down. Furthermore, when the generator is running at the sensorless shutdown speed, the vehicle's noise-vibration-harshness parameters must be less than the critical value for these parameters. The technical solution of this invention determines the sensorless shutdown speed by using the minimum coolant circulation speed and the critical value for the noise-vibration-harshness parameters. This not only reduces the turbocharger's regenerative temperature but also improves the overall NVH performance of the vehicle, further enhancing the user experience.

[0097] S44: Output fuel cut-off command to the engine and control the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0098] S45. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0099] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the fifth turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0100] S50: When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0101] S51. When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to drive the engine to stop.

[0102] S52. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0103] S53. Obtain oil pressure, oil temperature, turbocharger regenerative temperature, and target temperature.

[0104] The target temperature can be the temperature value that prevents coking of the oil in the turbocharger. The oil pressure can be the pressure of the range extender oil circulating in the pipeline. The oil temperature can be the real-time temperature of the range extender oil.

[0105] S54. Determine the preset time based on the oil pressure, oil temperature, turbocharger regeneration temperature, and target temperature.

[0106] The turbocharger regenerative temperature is a real-time temperature value, while the target temperature is the desired temperature value that the turbocharger needs to achieve. The difference between the turbocharger regenerative temperature and the target temperature can be determined. Since oil pressure and oil temperature affect the cooling rate within the engine cylinders, a relationship between oil pressure, oil temperature, and the difference between the turbocharger regenerative temperature can be established in advance. Based on the real-time detected oil pressure and oil temperature and the calculated difference between the turbocharger regenerative temperature, a corresponding preset time is determined to ensure that the turbocharger regenerative temperature can decrease to below or equal to the target temperature after the imperceptible engine stop speed has been maintained for the preset time.

[0107] S55. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0108] The technical solution of this invention ensures the cooling effect of the turbocharger by determining the preset time for the continuous operation of the imperceptible shutdown speed based on the oil pressure, oil temperature, turbocharger regeneration temperature and target temperature.

[0109] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the sixth turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0110] S60. When the vehicle is powered off, determine whether the range extender is currently idling.

[0111] S61. When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to drive the engine to stop.

[0112] S62. When the engine speed is 0, control the generator to stop running.

[0113] When the engine speed is 0, it means that the engine is stopped and there is no need to continue controlling the generator to run at the preset torque. The generator is stopped to complete the quick shutdown operation.

[0114] S63. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0115] S64. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0116] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 7 This is a flowchart of the seventh turbocharger protection method provided according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the turbocharger protection method includes:

[0117] S70, vehicle power off, obtain engine torque.

[0118] One method is to collect engine torque data to determine the idling status.

[0119] S71. Determine if the engine torque is less than the preset idle torque.

[0120] Specifically, when the engine torque is consistently less than the preset idle torque, it indicates that the range extender is in idle mode; when the engine torque is greater than the preset idle torque, it indicates that the range extender is in non-idling mode.

[0121] S72. When the range extender is idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to shut down the engine.

[0122] S73. When the range extender is not idling, it outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed.

[0123] S74. After a preset time, control the generator speed to 0.

[0124] The technical solution of this invention dynamically monitors key engine parameters (turbocharger regeneration temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, etc.) and combines them with an intelligent graded shutdown strategy to control the generator to drive the engine at low speed. Under the premise of meeting the turbocharger cooling requirements, it achieves seamless shutdown and improves the user's driving experience.

[0125] Based on the same inventive concept. Figure 8 This is a connection diagram of a turbocharger protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment of the invention also provides a turbocharger protection device for performing a turbocharger protection method. The turbocharger protection device includes:

[0126] The idle speed determination module 100 is used to determine whether the range extender is in an idle state when the vehicle is powered off.

[0127] The idle stop module 200 is used to output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and control the generator to operate at a preset torque when the range extender is in an idle state, so as to drive the engine to stop.

[0128] The non-idle cooling module 300 is used to output a fuel cut-off command to the engine and control the generator speed to the sensorless shutdown speed when the range extender is in a non-idle state.

[0129] The non-idle stop module 400 controls the generator speed to 0 after a preset time.

[0130] Specifically, firstly, when the vehicle is powered off, the idle speed detection module 100 determines whether the range extender is currently idling. If the range extender is idling, the idle speed shutdown module 200 outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator to operate at a preset torque to shut down the engine. When the range extender is not idling, the idle speed cooling module 300 outputs a fuel cut-off command to the engine and controls the generator speed to a sensorless shutdown speed. After a preset time, the non-idle speed shutdown module 400 controls the generator speed to 0.
