5 results about "Engine coolant temperature sensor" patented technology

The coolant temperature sensor is used to measure the temperature of the engine coolant of an internal combustion engine. The readings from this sensor are then fed back to the Engine control unit, which uses this data to adjust the fuel injection and ignition timing. On some vehicles the sensor may also be used to switch on the electric cooling fan. The data may also be used to provide readings for a coolant temperature gauge on the dashboard.

Fan control system and method for vehicle

The invention relates to a fan control system and method for a vehicle. A fan control system for a vehicle may include: a vehicle speed sensor for sensing a vehicle speed; the engine cooling liquid temperature sensor is used for sensing the temperature of engine cooling liquid; the fan is arranged adjacent to the engine coolant radiator and is used for providing flowing air for the engine coolant radiator; and a controller configured to determine whether the vehicle is in an idle state based on a vehicle speed sensed by the vehicle speed sensor, determine whether a temperature of the cooling liquid is in a first temperature range based on a temperature of the cooling liquid sensed by the engine cooling liquid temperature sensor when the vehicle is in the idle state and the fan is not operating, and control the engine cooling liquid when the vehicle is in the idle state and the fan is not operating. And when the temperature of the cooling liquid is within the first temperature range, whether a fan forced operation condition is met or not is determined, and when the fan forced operation condition is met, the fan is made to operate for first preset time.

Intelligent control method and system for engine cooling fan based on double temperature sensors

This invention relates to the field of engine manufacturing heat treatment technology, and discloses an intelligent control method and system for engine cooling fans based on dual temperature sensors. The method includes acquiring the detection values ​​from an engine coolant temperature sensor and a radiator temperature sensor; determining whether the engine coolant temperature sensor detection value is greater than or equal to a large circulation opening temperature threshold; calculating the inlet and outlet water temperature difference when the determination result is yes; generating a target fan speed command by determining the gradient interval corresponding to the inlet and outlet water temperature difference and sending it to the cooling fan; statistically analyzing the duration for which the inlet and outlet water temperature difference is greater than or equal to a preset fault threshold; executing a conservative control strategy when the duration reaches an anti-shake time threshold; and determining whether the detection value reaches a preset absolute threshold to control the cooling fan to operate at full speed. This invention adjusts the fan operation state by calculating the inlet and outlet water temperature difference through dual temperature feedback, avoiding errors from a single temperature source determination, filtering out abnormal data interference, and maintaining safe cooling under fault conditions.
