This application is the 371 application of PCT Application No. PCT/CN2021/098213, filed on Jun. 3, 2021, which is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010559771.X, filed Jun. 18, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present application relates to the field of vehicle water cooling technologies, and more particularly, to a warm-up method based on a temperature control module, a vehicle, and a computer-readable storage medium.
At present, an engine cooling system, commonly used on the market usually, includes a mechanical water pump and a thermostat. A physical structure of the thermostat is mainly based on a wax pack. The wax pack is solid in a low water temperature, so a thermostat valve closes a branch through which the coolant flows to a radiator under an action of a spring. When the wax pack melts into liquid in a high water temperature, the volume increases accordingly, pushing the thermostat valve to open the branch leading to radiator to cool down. This structure determines that the engine cooling system can only be switched in two states of a large circulation (with a participation of the radiator) and a small circulation (without the participation of the radiator).
In recent years, there has also been a scheme of using a mechanical water pump and an electronic thermostat. The water temperature can be adjusted to a certain extent when the vehicle is running normally, but its warm-up process is no different from the traditional thermostat scheme.
In addition, in recent years, there has further been a quick warm-up scheme using a clutch-type water pump or a switch valve. For the scheme using the clutch-type water pump, a clutch is disconnected during a warm-up phase, so that a water pump loses power and a circulation of the coolant is stopped. For the scheme using the switch valve, an additional valve is added in the small cycle, and the small cycle is forcibly closed during the warm-up phase, so as to stop the flow of coolant. These two methods essentially stop a heat exchange process from an inside of the engine to outside, and rapidly increase a temperature of an engine cylinder wall through heat accumulation, thereby accelerating an overall temperature rise. However, both schemes have certain defects.
A clutch is added between a pulley of the engine and the water pump in the clutch-type water pump, which increases a complexity of the system. In the process of long-term use, the engagement of the clutch causes wear between the gears, and there is a higher risk in the mechanical structure. In addition, this scheme usually only uses a simple control form, which can only realize a turn-on and turn-off function. There is no intermediate change process, failing to perform a stepless adjustment.
A structure of the switch valve is simpler than that of the clutch type water pump, but it also only can realize the turn-on and turn-off function. There is no intermediate change process, failing to perform the stepless adjustment.
For the above problems, those skilled in the art have been seeking schemes.
The preceding statements are intended to provide general background information and may not constitute the prior art.

In order to make the object, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to
The warm-up method based on the temperature control module according to the first embodiment of the present application includes the following steps.
S11: a cold start mode is entered.
Referring to
In one embodiment, the current water temperature value may be acquired by a water temperature sensor.
In one embodiment, the warm-up threshold is a preset value. This value is set by referring to an opening temperature value of the thermostat in the prior art and determined in combination with an actual test effect. For example, the determined warm-up threshold generally may be set in a range of 83° C.˜93° C.
In one embodiment, the cold start mode is entered so that the temperature control module is prepared for subsequent intermittent operation. For example, in the cold start operate mode, the ECU controls the temperature control module to enable the temperature control module to perform an intermittent operation through temperature control. The temperature control module is controlled by temperature control parameters to operate at a certain flow ratio (that is, corresponding to a position of a ball valve), and operates according to the calculated ON duration and OFF duration. The ON duration and the OFF duration will also be adjusted owing to the changing operating conditions and the changing water temperatures during the normal driving process after the vehicle is started.
In one embodiment, after the vehicle is powered on, the step of obtaining the current water temperature value includes the following steps. Whether the water temperature sensor is faulty is determined after the vehicle is powered on. If yes, a prompt operation and a temperature control protection operation are performed. If not, the current water temperature value is obtained by the water temperature sensor. For example, every time the ECU is powered on, the ECU starts to obtain the sensing signal (e.g., including a water temperature value of the engine and/or a fault signal) of the water temperature sensor, and whether the water temperature sensor is faulty is determined according to the sensing signal. when the water temperature sensor is faulty (e.g., the water temperature value of the engine is unreasonable, the water temperature sensor has at least one of the maximum failure and the minimum failure), the ECU cannot determine an actual water temperature of the engine, then an alarm is performed and the position of the ball valve of the temperature control module is opened to the 100% position (i.e., fully open, and the water pump flow ratio is kept at the highest value), to maintain the normal heat dissipation function and ensure that the engine does not overheat.
In one embodiment, the water temperature sensor may be arranged at a water outlet of the engine, and the water temperature sensor is connected to the ECU so that the ECU can collect the water temperature value of the engine.
In other embodiment, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided in this embodiment may also include, but is not limited to the following steps. Whether the water temperature sensor is faulty is detected in real time. When it is detected that the water temperature sensor is faulty, a prompt operation and a temperature control protection are performed. Therefore, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided in this embodiment can realize a self-diagnosis and a temperature control protection.
S12: the current temperature control parameters are obtained. The temperature control parameters include the current water temperature value, a current engine speed, and a current engine load.
In one embodiment, it should be understood that the temperature control parameters may include, but are not limited to, the current water temperature value, the current engine speed, the current engine load. For example, it may also include at least one of a water temperature range in the current water temperature value is located, and a required heat dissipation ratio, a flow ratio value corresponding to the current engine speed and current engine load, a water pump flow rate, a fan status, a current vehicle speed, a duration distribution coefficient corresponding to current engine load, an OFF duration limit value corresponding to the current engine load, and a temperature rise limit value range corresponding to the current water temperature value.
In one embodiment, according to the actual situation, the water temperature in the warm-up phase may be divided into multiple water temperature ranges, such as three water temperature ranges, four water temperature ranges and five water temperature ranges. The three water temperature ranges are taken as an example. A low water temperature range is 20-75° C. (a temperature of the low water temperature range is still relatively low, which can reduce the heat dissipation, make the water temperature continue to rise, and achieve a radical temperature rise speed without a risk). A medium water temperature range is 75-85° C. (the temperature rise needs to be appropriately slowed down. Otherwise, there may be local boiling in the cylinder). The high water temperature range is 85-90° C. (in the high water temperature range, the cold start mode may be ready to exit at any time to enter a normal operating mode). Therefore, in this embodiment, the corresponding water temperature range can be found according to the current water temperature value.
In one embodiment, comparison information (e.g., a comparison table, a MAP) between each divided water temperature range and the required heat dissipation ratio may be stored in advance. For example, the required heat dissipation ratio corresponding to the low water temperature range is 10%. The required heat dissipation ratio corresponding to the medium water temperature range is 50%. The required heat dissipation ratio corresponding to the high water temperature range is 90%.
In one embodiment, a flow rate proportional value corresponding to the current engine speed and the current engine load may be obtained, but not limited to, by searching a pre-stored relationship table. The flow rate proportional value is corresponding to an opening degree of the ball valve of the temperature control module.
In one embodiment, the duration distribution coefficient corresponding to the current engine load, and the OFF duration limit value corresponding to the current engine load may be obtained by looking up a preset MAP.
In one embodiment, the temperature rise limit value range corresponding to the current water temperature value may also be obtained by looking up the preset MAP. There are basic principles formulated by the MAP. For example, a range between an upper limit value and a lower limit value of the temperature rise limit value range is generally within a range of −3˜3° C. The higher the current water temperature value is, the smaller the corresponding upper limit value and lower limit value of the temperature rise limit value range are (that is, the smaller the range between the upper limit value and the lower limit value is).
S13: the operating parameters of the temperature control module are obtained according to the temperature control parameters.
In one embodiment, step S13: obtaining the operating parameters of the temperature control module according to the temperature control parameters, may includes but is not limited to the following steps. The calculation parameters of the operating parameters are obtained according to the temperature control parameters. The calculation parameters include the required heat dissipation, the heat dissipation power and the duration distribution coefficient. The ON duration of the temperature control module is calculated according to the required heat dissipation and the heat dissipation power, and the OFF duration of the temperature control module is calculated according to the ON duration and the distribution coefficient, so as to obtain the operating parameters of the temperature control module.
In one embodiment, a calculation formula of the ON duration is: ton=Qneed/Pwp. ton represents the ON duration, Qneed represents the required heat dissipation, and Pwp represents the heat dissipation power.
In one embodiment, a calculation formula of the OFF duration is: toff=εton, wherein toff represents the OFF duration, and E represents the duration distribution coefficient.
In one embodiment, toff is proportional to ton, and the proportional value is the duration distribution coefficient ε. When the engine load is high, the toff is allowed to be shorter, and the proportional value is smaller. When the engine load is low, the toff is allowed to be longer, and the proportional value is larger. The Map between the duration distribution coefficient ε and the engine load is formulated according to the above principles, which is provided to the ECU for table lookup.
In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the calculation parameters of the operating parameters according to the temperature control parameters may include, but is not limited to the following steps. The theoretical heat dissipation power Pwp′ is obtained according to the water pump flow rate, the flow rate ratio value and the fan state (for example, the theoretical heat dissipation power Pwp′ is obtained by looking up the table according to the water pump flow rate, the flow rate ratio value and the fan state). A correction operation is performed on the theoretical heat dissipation power Pwp′ according to the current vehicle speed of the temperature control parameters to obtain the heat dissipation power Pwp.
In one embodiment, the water pump flow rate is strongly related to the current engine speed, and the required heat dissipation ratio set by the temperature control module may be obtained by looking up the table. In this circumstance, the flow rate of the temperature control module is q=qcur*Ptarget (qcur represents the water pump flow rate, Ptarget represents the required heat dissipation ratio), the heat dissipation of the engine may be calculated according to the flow rate. However, this part of the heat needs to be exchanged through the air to be truly dissipated. In this circumstance, a heat dissipation at a radiator end may be calculated as Qout=cqΔT. c is a cooling specific heat capacity, and ΔT is the temperature difference between water in an inlet of the radiator and water in an outlet water of the radiator. ΔT is actually depended on the heat dissipation power of the radiator, which is essentially determined by the output power of the fan, but also affected by the current vehicle speed. Therefore, the heat dissipation is Pwp′=f(q,s), where s is the state of the fan, and the heat dissipation Pwp′ is corrected by the vehicle speed to the real heat dissipation Pwp.
In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the calculation parameters of the operating parameters according to the temperature control parameter may include, but is not limited to the following steps. The calorific value is calculated according to the current engine speed and the current engine load of the temperature control parameters. The corresponding water temperature range is obtained according to the current water temperature value of the temperature control parameters, so as to obtain the required heat dissipation ratio according to the water temperature range. The required heat dissipation is calculated according to the calorific value and the required heat dissipation ratio.
In one embodiment, the heat of the engine is carried out by the coolant, and the heat generated inside the engine may be calculated by a preset function as Qin=f(n,b), where n is the current engine speed, and b is the current engine load. Specifically, combined with the water pump flow and the opening degree of the ball valve of the temperature control module (corresponding to the required heat dissipation ratio), the engine can exchange a part of the calorific value to the air during its ON duration ton in each operating cycle, based on the calorific value Qin=f(n,b) inside the engine.
In one embodiment, a calculation formula of the required heat dissipation is Qneed=pQin. Qneed represents the required heat dissipation, and p represents the required heat dissipation ratio.
In one embodiment, the step of obtaining the operating parameters of the temperature control module may include, but is not limited to the following steps. Whether the OFF duration is greater than the OFF duration limit value of the temperature control parameters is determined. If yes, the ON duration and the OFF duration limit value are taken as operating parameters. If not, the ON duration and the OFF duration are taken as operating parameters.
In one embodiment, specifically, since an excessively long OFF duration will cause a certain cooling risk, it is necessary to set the OFF duration limit value Lt. The greater the current engine load is, the smaller the obtained OFF duration limit value Lt is. Therefore, The Map is made from the OFF duration limit value Lt and the engine load according to this principle.
S14: the temperature control module is controlled according to the operating parameters to adjust the water temperature to warm up, and the current water temperature value is updated.
In one embodiment, the operating parameters may also include, but are not limited to gear control information of the ball valve of the temperature control module corresponding to the current water temperature value or the current water temperature range. step S14: controlling the temperature control module to adjust the water temperature to warm up according to the operating parameters and updating the current water temperature value, may include but is not limited to the following steps. The temperature control module is controlled according to the gear control information, the ON duration, the OFF duration and the OFF duration limit value to adjust the water temperature to warm up, and the current water temperature value is updated.
S15: when the updated current water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, return to the step S12 of obtaining the current temperature control parameters are obtained to enter the next cycle. For example, when the updated current water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, the current temperature control information is re-obtained, the operating parameters of the temperature control module are re-obtained according to the re-obtained temperature control information. The temperature control module is re-controlled according to the re-obtained operating parameters, so as to adjust the water temperature again to warm up, and the current water temperature value is updated again. Whether the updated water temperature value exceeds the warm-up threshold is determined again, and the next cycle is entered when the updated water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, and the cycles are performed in turn until the updated water temperature value exceeds the warm-up threshold.
In one embodiment, the step S15: returning to the step of obtaining the current temperature control parameters to enter the next cycle when the updated current water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, may include but is not limited to the following steps. S501: whether the updated water temperature value exceeds the warm-up threshold is determined. If not, return to step S12: the current temperature control parameters are obtained (to enter the next cycle). If yes, enter step S103: the normal operating mode is entered.
In one embodiment, specifically, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided in this embodiment can cyclically control the temperature control module to operate intermittently according to the change of the water temperature value, and the state that the temperature control module operates intermittently in each cycle also changes gradually according to a gradual increase of the water temperature value. Therefore, this embodiment can realize a stepless adjustment of the temperature control module, so as to fully and reasonably warm up the engine by a thermal energy of the engine with the controllable warm-up time. Moreover, since the engine water temperature is used as the warm-up trigger condition, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided by this embodiment has a faster response than the warm-up method based on the thermostat in the prior art.
In one embodiment, step S15: returning to the step of obtaining the current temperature control parameters to enter the next cycle when the updated current water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, may include, but is not limited to the following steps. An actual temperature rise value is obtained according to the current water temperature value and the updated current water temperature value, and the temperature rise limit value range corresponding to the current water temperature value is obtained. When the actual temperature rise value is not within the temperature rise limit value range, a correction operation is performed on the operating parameters obtained in the next cycle according to a preset correction rule.
In one embodiment, when the actual temperature rise value is not within the temperature rise limit value range, the correction operation is performed on the operating parameters obtained in the next cycle according to the preset correction rule. For example, if the actual temperature rise value is lower than a lower limit value of the temperature rise limit value range, or higher than an upper limit value of the temperature rise limit value range, the ON duration and the OFF duration obtained in the next cycle are adjusted according to the correction coefficients α and β.
In one embodiment, if the actual temperature rise value is within the temperature rise limit value range, the ON duration and OFF duration of the next cycle are set based on the values calculated in the current cycle. If the actual temperature rise value is lower than the lower limit value of the temperature rise limit value range, that is, the pump flow is too large and the water temperature drops too much, then the ON duration calculated in the next cycle is shortened by the correction coefficient α, and the OFF duration calculated in the next cycle is extended by the correction coefficient β. The OFF duration calculated in the next cycle is compared with the OFF duration limit value. If the actual temperature rise value is higher than the upper limit of the temperature rise limit value range, that is, the water temperature rises too much and the pump flow is insufficient, then the ON duration calculated in the next cycle is extended by the correction coefficient α, and the OFF duration calculated in the next cycle is shortened by the correction coefficient β. The OFF duration calculated in the next cycle is compared with the OFF duration limit value. A relationship between the correction coefficient α and the correction coefficient 13 may be determined directly by a function, or may be set directly through the Map. A basic principle of the relationship is: the larger the actual temperature rise value is, the more the ON duration is increased by the correction coefficient α, and the more the OFF duration is decreased by the correction coefficient β. The smaller the actual temperature rise value is, the more the ON duration is decreased by the correction coefficient α, and the more the OFF duration is increased by the correction coefficient β.
In one embodiment, specifically, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided in this embodiment can detect the actual temperature rise value, and perform the correction operation on the operating parameters obtained in the next cycle according to the relationship between the actual temperature rise value and the temperature rise limit value range. Therefore, the feedback of operating information can be realized, and the self-diagnosis can be carried out according to the feedback of the operating information, and the operating parameters of the temperature control module are corrected when the diagnosis result meets the adjustment conditions, thereby solving shortcomings in the traditional art (For example, the clutch-type water pump can only perform a simple form control in operation. It can only realize a turn-on and turn-off function, and fails to perform an operating information feedback, a self-diagnosis and an operating parameter correction. The switch valve can only perform a simple form control in operation. It can only realize a turn-on and turn-off function, and fails to perform the operating information feedback, the self-diagnosis and the operating parameter correction).
In one embodiment, the warm-up method, based on the temperature control module provided in the first embodiment of the present application, may further include, but is not limited to the water temperature information, which includes the current water temperature value and/or the temperature rise speed. When the water temperature information meets a preset cooling fault condition, it is determined that the cooling system is faulty, and a protection control operation is performed to make the engine torque limit and/or the vehicle enter a limp state.
In one embodiment, the step of monitoring the water temperature information may include, but is not limited to that the water temperature information is detected according to a preset period.
In one embodiment, it should be understood that the water temperature information may include, but is not limited to the current water temperature value and/or the temperature rise speed.
In one embodiment, the water temperature information satisfying the preset cooling fault conditions may include, but is not limited to: the current water temperature value exceeds a first fault water temperature limit value; the temperature rise speed exceeds the temperature rise speed limit value, and the current water temperature value exceeds a second fault water temperature value (the first fault water temperature value and the second fault water temperature value may be the same or different). Specifically, for example, once the ECU detects that the current water temperature value of the water temperature information exceeds the first fault water temperature limit (e.g., 120° C.), it determines that the cooling system is faulty. Alternatively, the ECU detects the water temperature change in the preset period, so as to obtain the temperature rise speed of the water temperature information. When the temperature rise speed exceeds the temperature rise speed limit value (e.g., 5° C./s), and the current water temperature value of the water temperature information exceeds the second fault water temperature limit (e.g., 105° C.), it is determined that the cooling system is faulty. Thus, after determining that the cooling system is faulty, the engine is controlled to limit torque and/or the vehicle is controlled into the limp state.
In one embodiment, when the water temperature information satisfies the preset cooling fault condition, it is determined that the cooling system is faulty, and a protection control operation is performed. The preset cooling fault condition may be a water temperature range corresponding to the current water temperature value. Therefore, this embodiment can limit the temperature rise speed of each water temperature range. In each water temperature range, when the temperature rise speed exceeds the temperature rise speed limit value corresponding to the water temperature range, whether there is a cooling system faulty in the water temperature range can be determined.
The warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided by the first embodiment of the present application includes the following steps. S11: a cold start mode is entered. S12: current temperature control parameters are obtained, and the temperature control parameters include the current water temperature value, the current engine speed, and the current engine load. S13: operating parameters of the temperature control module are obtained according to the temperature control parameters. S14: the temperature control module is controlled according to the operating parameters to adjust the water temperature to warm up and the current water temperature value is updated. S15: When the updated current water temperature value does not exceed the warm-up threshold, return to the step of obtaining the current temperature control parameters to enter a next cycle. Therefore, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided by the first embodiment of the present application can quickly respond after entering the cold start mode to make the temperature control module operate through cycle detection and cycle control methods, so that the temperature control module can gradually perform the corresponding warm-up operation according to changes of the temperature control parameters. Therefore, the present application enables the temperature control module to realize a stepless adjustment. In addition, in the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided by the first embodiment of the present application, there is a good matching relationship between a duration distribution of the temperature control module during the warm-up process and the engine operating conditions. After the vehicle is cold started, a state of the water pump can be adapted to the engine under any operating conditions. Moreover, the water temperature is divided into ranges, and the temperature rise speed of each water temperature range is limited, so that the control parameters can match the temperature rise speed in each stage. Furthermore, after completing a distribution of the operating duration (i.e., the ON duration and the OFF duration) of a cycle, the output can be optimized through a series of correction coefficients, so that the temperature control module can be controlled more accurately, so as to rapidly warm up to maximum extent without an overheating risk of the engine. To sum up, the warm-up method based on the temperature control module provided by the first embodiment of the present application can realize a precise control of the temperature control module, and the operating parameters are optimized and matched by themselves during the engine warm-up process, so as to maximize an ability of the variable flow water pump in the temperature control module, thereby achieving a quick warm-up for the engine without the risk of overheating.
