To further explain the technical means and effects of the present invention adopted to achieve the predetermined objects, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
In view of the above, the present invention provides an engine start-stop control method, an engine start-stop control device, and a vehicle having the same, which can stop a crankshaft at a top dead center of a cylinder block when an engine is stopped, shorten the time for starting the engine, and increase the smoothness when the engine is restarted.
Fig. 1 is a control logic diagram of an engine start-stop control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating crankshaft position after engine shutdown is controlled using the engine start-stop control method of FIG. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an engine start-stop control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of:
receiving an engine stop instruction;
reducing the engine speed to a first speed threshold;
controlling a starter in a rotating speed control mode;
collecting the rotating speed and the position of a crankshaft;
judging the driving time when the crankshaft stops at the top dead center according to the crankshaft speed and the crankshaft position;
and gradually reducing the rotating speed of the crankshaft through the starter according to the driving time length until the crankshaft stops at the top dead center position.
In the embodiment, the rotation speed and the position of the crankshaft are judged when the engine is stopped, the driving time length when the crankshaft is stopped at the top dead center is judged in the rotation speed control mode of the starter, and finally the rotation speed of the crankshaft is gradually reduced through the starter, so that the crankshaft is stopped at the position of the top dead center. The crankshaft is stopped at the position of the top dead center when the engine is stopped, so that the judgment of the position of the crankshaft and the ignition sequence can be omitted when the engine is restarted, the starting time of the engine is saved, the smoothness performance of the engine during starting is improved, furthermore, in the stopping process of the engine, the starter is controlled through a rotating speed control mode, the accuracy of the position of the crankshaft during stopping can be ensured through the control of the driving time length and the rotating speed, and meanwhile, the stability of the engine during stopping is improved.
Further, in the embodiment, when an engine stop instruction is received, the rotation speed of the crankshaft is firstly reduced to the first rotation speed threshold value through the torque control mode so as to shorten the stop time of the engine, that is, in the engine stop strategy, the starter firstly reduces the rotation speed of the engine through the torque control mode and then stops the crankshaft at a specific position through the rotation speed control mode. The first speed threshold may be determined based on engine and starter performance, and is preferably no greater than 200RPM (Revoltations Per Minute).
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the position of the crankshaft 11 relative to top dead center (shown by the dashed line in FIG. 2) in a particular cylinder is collected when the position of the crankshaft 11 is collected to stop the crankshaft 11 at the top dead center position in the particular cylinder after the engine 12 is stopped, which may be determined based on the number of cylinders of the engine 12 and the need for a starting strategy for the engine 12. For example, in the three-cylinder engine 12, it is preferable that one cylinder is the specific cylinder, that is, the crankshaft 11 in one cylinder is stopped at the top dead center of the cylinder each time the engine 12 is stopped. When the engine 12 is restarted, the engine 12 will always start firing in this particular cylinder and start the engine in a particular firing sequence, which will greatly optimize the ride-through performance of the three-cylinder engine 12.
Further, in the present embodiment, the starter 13 is a starter 13 having a 48vbsg (belt drive starter generator) system, as shown in fig. 2, the starter 13 is disposed at the front end of the engine 12, and drives the engine 12 to operate through the driving belt 14.
In summary, in the present embodiment, the rotation speed and the position of the crankshaft are determined when the engine is stopped, the driving duration when the crankshaft is stopped at the top dead center is determined in the rotation speed control mode of the starter, and finally, the rotation speed of the crankshaft is gradually reduced by the starter, so that the crankshaft is stopped at the top dead center. The crankshaft is stopped at the position of the top dead center when the engine is stopped, so that the judgment of the position of the crankshaft and the ignition sequence can be omitted when the engine is restarted, the starting time of the engine is saved, the smoothness performance of the engine during starting is improved, furthermore, in the stopping process of the engine, the starter is controlled through a rotating speed control mode, the accuracy of the position of the crankshaft during stopping can be ensured through the control of the driving time length and the rotating speed, and meanwhile, the stability of the engine during stopping is improved.
The engine start-stop control method provided by the second embodiment of the present invention is basically the same as the engine start-stop control method provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, but is different in that when the crankshaft speed and the crankshaft position are acquired, the method further includes the following steps:

judging the driving time when the crankshaft in the cylinder body reaches the top dead center according to the position of the crankshaft in the cylinder body;
and gradually reducing the rotating speed of the crankshaft through a starter until the crankshaft in the cylinder body stops at the top dead center, and storing the serial number corresponding to the cylinder body.
In the embodiment, the position of the crankshaft in each cylinder is collected, and it is determined which crankshaft in the cylinder is closest to the top dead center, and finally the crankshaft in the cylinder is stopped at the top dead center by the starter, which further reduces the time for stopping the engine. When the engine is restarted, the whole ignition sequence of the engine can be adjusted according to the serial number of the cylinder block stored in the last stop, and the cylinder block corresponding to the serial number is ignited firstly.
