As described in the background art, a simple two-speed or three-speed-adjustable water pump cannot meet the requirements of customers, if the water pump is to be of a multi-speed structure, the water pump is directly limited by the space and cost of an engine, and the details are described by taking the existing speed-adjustable water pump structure as an example:
as shown in fig. 1, the structural schematic diagram of the two-speed electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump can realize the switching of the water pump impeller between high and low rotating speeds by switching on and off the electromagnetic coil, and the working curve is shown in fig. 2:
the working principle is as follows: when the engine is just started, the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump clutch is separated, the water pump impeller works at a low speed under the action of the magnet, and the temperature of the engine can be rapidly increased; when the water temperature of the engine rises to a set value, the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump clutch is combined, the attraction disc is attached to the end face of the belt pulley, the belt pulley drives the water pump impeller to directly drive the water pump impeller to work through the attraction disc, and the rotating speed of the water pump impeller is the same as that of the belt pulley, so that sufficient coolant flow is provided for the engine.
However, with the improvement of the whole vehicle on temperature control, some problems are exposed in the working mode of the water pump:
1. the low-speed and low-speed rotation speed of the water pump is too low: if the quantity of the magnets in the structure is small, the rotating speed of the impeller is relatively low when the water pump is at a low speed, the temperature of the engine can be rapidly raised at the moment, the discharge temperature of the engine is high, and the discharge level of the engine can be raised, but the lower rotating speed of the water pump can cause the water pressure generated by the water pump to be low and cannot overcome the resistance of a pipeline, the water flow in warm air and other parts of pipelines is insufficient, so that the warm air in a cab is insufficient, and meanwhile, part of positions needing cooling cannot obtain sufficient water flow, such as a retarder used by part of vehicle;
2. the low-speed rotating speed of the water pump is too high: if magnet quantity is more in the structure, impeller rotational speed will be higher relatively when the water pump is low-speed, can promote the warm braw effect like this, guarantees each spare part of vehicle and fully cools off simultaneously, but will cause the engine temperature lower, and discharge temperature reduces, and the whole car of cold-start stage emission level reduces, and the value that the engine power consumption was saved to the water pump also can reduce.
Admittedly, the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump makes certain contribution to fuel saving and emission of the engine, but when the engine is required to be further lifted, the two-speed electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump cannot be fully met.
For this market, a corresponding double-flexible three-speed-regulating water pump is developed to solve the above problems, and the structure of the double-flexible three-speed-regulating water pump is shown in fig. 3: the three-speed-regulating water pump can realize the switching of the water pump impeller between three rotating speeds by switching on and off the power of the large electromagnetic coil and the small electromagnetic coil, and the working curve of the three-speed-regulating water pump is shown in figure 4:
the working principle is as follows: when the engine is just started, two electromagnetic coils of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump are powered off simultaneously, a water pump impeller works at a low speed under the action of a first-speed magnet, the ideal working rotating speed is 20% -40%, and the temperature of the engine can be rapidly increased at the moment; when the water temperature of the engine rises to a set value, a small coil of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump is electrified, a small suction disc is attached to the end face of the belt pulley, the small suction disc drives a second-speed magnet on the bracket to rotate through a spring piece, the first-speed magnet and the second-speed magnet act together to drive a water pump impeller to work at a higher rotating speed, the ideal rotating speed is 60% -80%, and the heat dissipation requirement of the engine under most conditions can be met; when the vehicle is in heavy load or climbs a slope, the water temperature of the engine can continuously rise, when the temperature rises to a set value, the large coil is electrified, the large attraction disc is attached to the end face of the belt pulley, the belt pulley drives the water pump impeller to directly drive the water pump impeller to work through the large attraction disc, and at the moment, the rotating speed of the water pump impeller is the same as that of the belt pulley.
The structure can make up the defect of the two-speed-regulating water pump to a certain extent, but the requirement of the vehicle on water flow under different working conditions is changed at any time, the three working rotating speeds still cannot completely meet the use requirement, and if the rotating speed of the water pump clutch is continuously increased, the structure of the water pump is very complex, and the cost is obviously increased.
In order to solve the problems, the invention provides a control strategy based on the hardware of the double-flexible three-speed electromagnetic speed regulation water pump so as to achieve the effect of stepless speed regulation of the water pump.
The specific scheme is as follows: when the required rotating speed is positioned between any two adjacent working curves, the curve with higher rotating speed in the two working curves is circularly combined and separated in a certain period according to a certain rule corresponding to a clutch, so that the clutch is in an intermittent combination state, the rotating speed of a water pump impeller is continuously switched between high speed and low speed, and the aim that the simulated rotating speed of the water pump is positioned between the two working curves is fulfilled by adjusting the time proportion of combination and separation.
Of course, the on-off time of the direct current can be controlled.
The adjustment period of the water pump clutch can be between 1 second and 60 seconds;
when the required rotating speed of the water pump is in a certain range above the low-speed working rotating speed of the water pump, the water pump can be controlled to work at a low speed; the higher range can be 5% -10% of the rotating speed of the belt pulley;
when the required rotating speed of the water pump is in a certain range above or below the middle rotating speed of the water pump, the water pump can be controlled to work at the middle rotating speed;
the higher range can be 5% -10% of the rotating speed of the belt pulley;
the lower range may be 5% to 10% of the pulley speed.
When the required rotating speed of the water pump is in a certain range below the high-speed working rotating speed of the water pump, the water pump can be controlled to work at a high speed; the lower range may be 5% to 10% of the pulley speed.
In a certain period, the clutch can be combined and separated once or for multiple times;
the two adjacent working cycles of the speed-regulating water pump can be the same or different.
When the clutch corresponding to the interval upper limit curve is a flexible transmission clutch, the working period of the clutch can be shorter and can be 2-30 seconds;
when the clutch corresponding to the interval upper limit curve is a rigid transmission clutch, the working period of the clutch is long and can be 3-60 seconds;
when the clutch corresponding to the interval upper limit curve is a rigid transmission clutch, the clutch combination frequency needs to be limited, and the limiting frequency is not more than 60 times per minute;
when the clutch corresponding to the interval upper limit curve is a rigid transmission clutch, the clutch combination frequency needs to be limited, and the suggested combination frequency is below 30 times per minute;
the two-speed (i.e. high-speed) rotating speed of the used double-flexible speed-regulating water pump is set to be as high as possible, and can be 50-90%;
the first speed (namely low speed) of the double-flexible speed-regulating water pump is set to be as low as possible, and can be 10-40%;
the difference value between the first speed and the second speed of the used double-flexible speed-regulating water pump is set to be as high as possible and can be 10-80%.
As an exemplary embodiment:
1. the double flexible three-speed regulating water pump is set to have a two-speed rotating speed as high as possible;
2. the double-flexible three-speed regulating water pump sets a first speed as low as possible;
for example, the first speed of the three-speed adjustable water pump is set to 20%, the second speed is set to 80%, and the third speed is set to 100%.
3. When the ECU judges that the required water pump flow corresponds to the impeller rotating speed and is in a range near a certain working curve, the power-on and power-off state of a speed-regulating water pump coil can be directly controlled, the range of the working curve can be 5%, when the engine judges that the required water pump flow corresponds to the impeller rotating speed and is between 20% and 25%, the first speed of the water pump can be directly controlled to work, when the engine judges that the required water pump flow corresponds to the impeller rotating speed and is between 75% and 85%, the second speed of the water pump can be directly controlled to work, and when the engine judges that the required water pump flow corresponds to the impeller rotating speed and is more than 95%, the third speed of the.
4. When the ECU judges that the required flow of the water pump is between two working curves corresponding to the rotating speed of the impeller, the curve with the higher rotating speed in the two working curves is circularly combined and separated in a certain period according to a certain rule, so that the clutch is in an intermittent combination state, the rotating speed of the impeller of the water pump is continuously switched between high speed and low speed, the effect of simulating the middle rotating speed of the water pump is realized, and the more reasonable working period of the clutch is 1-60 seconds. For example, the operating frequency of the clutch is set to be 20 seconds, when the ECU judges that the water pump flow corresponds to 50% of the rotating speed (the MAP needs to be calibrated in the early period for confirming the rotating speed value), the clutch needs to be controlled to operate at the second speed for 8S, and to operate at the first speed for 12S (the MAP needs to be calibrated in the early period for confirming the operating time of the clutch), and finally the required value of the engine for the water pump flow is achieved.
As shown in fig. 5, the operation interval of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump can be divided into 5 parts, and it is assumed that the first speed of the water pump is set to 20%, the second speed is set to 80%, and the third speed is set to 100%;
1. when the whole vehicle judges that the required water pump impeller rotating speed is in the interval 1, the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump controls the impeller to rotate at a first speed, the interval lower limit is the first speed of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump and can be 20%, and the interval upper limit can be increased by 5% -10% on the basis of 20%, and is about 25% -30%.
2. When the whole vehicle judges that the required water pump impeller rotating speed is located in a certain rotating speed curve in a section 2, for example, when the rotating speed is judged to be a section rotating speed 1, an ECU is required to input an intermittent on-off signal to a small coil of an electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump to control the rotating speed of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump to work alternately between a first speed and a second speed, the current on-off condition is shown in FIG. 7, the power-on time and the power-off time are the same, the effect of simulating the output flow of the water pump at the section rotating speed 1 is achieved through continuous alternation of the rotating speed, and when the corresponding on-off time proportion is 1:2 and 1:3, the rotating speed of the water pump can correspondingly achieve the effects of the section; when the water pump works at a second speed, the small coil is electrified to enable the lower suction disc to be attached to the end face of the belt pulley, the belt pulley drives the small suction disc through friction, the small suction disc drives the magnet to generate an electromagnetic induction phenomenon, the space magnetic field drives the impeller of the water pump to work at the second speed, the impact force between the small suction disc and the belt pulley is small due to the existence of the space magnetic field, the abrasion between the small suction disc and the belt pulley can be controlled to be very small, the service life of the clutch can be greatly prolonged, and the small suction disc is allowed to work frequently; the reasonable working period of the clutch is 2-20 seconds.
For example, the duty cycle may be set to 20 seconds, and when the required rotation speed is the interval rotation speed 1, the power-on time is 10 seconds, and the power-off time is 10 seconds.
3. When the whole vehicle judges that the required water pump impeller rotating speed is in a range 3, the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump controls the impeller to rotate at two speeds, the lower limit of the range can be 5% -10% lower than the two-speed rotating speed of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump and is 70% -75%, and the upper limit of the range can be 5% -10% higher than the two-speed rotating speed of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump and is about 85% -90%.
4. When the whole vehicle judges that the required rotating speed of the impeller of the water pump is in a section 4, an ECU (electronic control unit) is required to correctly input an intermittent on-off signal to a large coil of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump, the small coil keeps a power-on state, the rotating speed of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump is controlled to alternately work between a third speed and a second speed, and the effect of simulating intermediate flow of the water pump is achieved by continuously alternating the rotating speed; the reasonable working cycle of the clutch is 20-60 seconds, and the control mode is the same as the rotating speed interval 2; the difference from the section 2 is that when the difference between the second-speed rotation speed and the third-speed rotation speed is set to be relatively large, the engagement frequency needs to be controlled to extend the service life of the clutch portion.
5. When the whole vehicle judges that the required water pump impeller rotating speed is in the interval 5, the large coil of the electromagnetic speed-regulating water pump is electrified to drive the water pump to work at full speed, the upper limit of the interval 5 is 100% of the rotating speed, and the lower limit is 90% -95%.
