Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle start control technology, and more specifically, to a vehicle start controller and a diesel vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of large diesel vehicles, the application of timed start technology is relatively weak. Especially in harsh winter conditions (such as -20°C) or when vehicles are parked outdoors for extended periods, the timeliness of vehicle operation faces a severe challenge. Due to prolonged parking, vehicles are prone to problems such as battery depletion, decreased engine oil lubrication, and poor fuel flow, making it difficult or impossible to start the vehicle. Currently, the only solution is for the driver to get up and start the vehicle multiple times; in more severe cases, mechanics are required to restart it, which is not only costly in terms of manpower and resources but may also affect the normal use of the vehicle.

Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The vehicle starter controller and diesel vehicle provided by this utility model will be explained and described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] The vehicle start controller provided by this utility model uses a timer and a delay to control the vehicle to automatically start within a set time and shut off after the set time, thereby avoiding the inability to start the vehicle after prolonged parking in extremely cold environments. The following is a detailed description of this utility model with reference to specific embodiments: In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle start controller, including: a timer and an execution module. The timer and the execution module constitute a timing control device. The execution module includes a delay unit, a first relay and a second relay, which can control the vehicle to start and stop at a preset time.

[0016] In some embodiments, the timer has a rated voltage of 24V DC, a timing range of 1 minute to 168 hours (7 days), and a timing error of ≤2S / day, ensuring controllability for any period within 7 days. For example, a DC time switch of model KG316T is selected as the timer. The timer has a positive input terminal, a negative input terminal, and two positive output terminals. The positive input terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery, and the negative input terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery.

[0017] The timer has a rated voltage of 24V DC, a delay accuracy of ≤1%, and a delay range of 1-10 seconds. It prevents overload caused by prolonged start-up operation. The timer has 8 terminals, with terminal 7 connected to one positive output terminal of the timer and terminal 2 connected to the negative output terminal. For example, a timer of model AH3-2 / 3 or H3Y-2 can be selected.

[0018] The control terminal of the first relay is connected to the positive terminal of the second output of the timer, and the load terminal of the first relay is used to connect to the ON position of the vehicle's ignition switch; the control terminal of the second relay is connected to the output terminal of the delay unit, and the load terminal of the second relay is used to connect to the OFF position of the vehicle's ignition switch.

[0019] In some embodiments, the control terminal of the first relay, which controls the ignition switch to the "ON" position, is connected to the other positive output terminal of the timer. Its power supply terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery, its load terminal is connected to the "ON" position of the ignition switch, and its negative terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. The second relay controls the ignition switch to the "Start" position. Its control terminal is connected to terminal 5 of the timer, its power supply terminal is connected to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery, its load terminal is connected to the "Start" position of the ignition switch, and its negative terminal is connected to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Optionally, both the first and second relays are high-current models with a rated voltage of 24V DC and a maximum switching current of 40A, suitable for the starting load of large vehicles.

[0020] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the vehicle start controller also includes a remote control module for remotely controlling a timer. The remote control module includes a remote controller and a central control box. The remote controller is connected to the central control box, and the central control box is communicatively connected to the timer. The remote controller operates at a frequency of 315MHz and has a remote control distance of 0.05-2.5 kilometers. For example, the central control box is connected to the timer signal interface and is fixed in an unobstructed location within the driver's cab. Optionally, the remote controller includes a power button, a start button, and an ignition stop button. The power button energizes the first relay, the start button energizes the delay timer, and the ignition stop button de-energizes the first relay.

[0021] In some embodiments, the installation method of the vehicle start controller includes: connecting the positive and negative input terminals of the timer to the positive and negative terminals of the vehicle battery, respectively; connecting the control terminal of the first relay to the positive output terminal of the timer and the load terminal to the "ON" position of the ignition switch; connecting the delay terminal 7 to the other positive output terminal of the timer and the terminal 2 to the negative output terminal of the timer; connecting the control terminal of the second relay to the delay terminal 5 and the load terminal to the "start" position of the ignition switch; connecting the central control box to the timer signal interface and fixing it in an unobstructed position inside the driver's cab.

[0022] When the vehicle starter controller is working, the start time (e.g., 6:00 AM daily) and stop time (e.g., 10 minutes after start) are set via buttons on the timer. The device automatically executes the start-preheat-stop process. Upon reaching the designated start time, the timer sends two sets of signals. One set controls the first relay, which in turn closes the "ON" position of the ignition switch on the engine, energizing the vehicle. The other set of signals energizes the delay unit, which in turn, via the second relay, closes the "Start" position of the ignition switch on the engine, energizing the starter motor and starting the engine. Optionally, the delay unit de-energizes the second relay after 4 seconds, causing the starter motor to work for 4 seconds before stopping. Upon reaching the designated stop time, the timer de-energizes, and the vehicle stops.

[0023] Alternatively, remote start can be performed. When a temporary start is needed, pressing the power button on the remote control sends a signal to the central control box. The central control box triggers the first relay, closing the starter motor's "ON" position and connecting the ignition switch to the "ON" position, thus powering the vehicle. Pressing the start button on the remote control sends a signal to the central control box, which triggers the delay unit and the second relay. The second relay controls the ignition switch on the engine to close the "Start" position, activating the starter motor and starting the engine. Pressing the engine stop button on the remote control sends a signal to the central control box, which then controls the first relay to de-energize, thus powering off the entire vehicle and stopping the engine.

[0024] The vehicle start controller provided by this utility model has a simple structure and is easy to install. It can be directly added without modifying the vehicle's original facilities and is suitable for various large diesel vehicles. It has dual control modes, which can control the vehicle's start and stop at set times, and can also remotely control the vehicle's start and stop to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0025] In some embodiments, the present invention also provides a diesel vehicle including the aforementioned vehicle starter controller, wherein a timer is connected to the vehicle battery and powered by the vehicle battery, and an execution module is connected to the vehicle starter motor for controlling the starter motor's operation. Specifically, a first relay is connected to the "ON" position of the starter motor, and a second relay is connected to the "Start" position of the starter motor.

[0026] When a remote control module is included, the central control box is connected to the vehicle's battery and powered by the vehicle's battery.
