Referring to fig. 2, in one embodiment, a method of controlling an engine cooling system includes the steps of:
step S10, when the engine is in a warm-up working condition, controlling a water pump of an engine cooling system to periodically operate;
in the present embodiment, the engine cooling system is mainly composed of a water pump, a radiator, a cooling fan, a compensating water tank, a thermostat, an EGR cooler, a passenger compartment radiator, a cooling water jacket in an engine block and a cylinder head, and accessories. On a high-voltage plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, a high-voltage PTC heater is added in an engine cooling loop, and the high-voltage PTC heater is used for heating coolant to heat a passenger compartment at a low temperature.
The water pump of the engine cooling system is controlled to run periodically, namely the water pump is controlled to be opened and closed periodically, for example, the water pump is controlled to run for a second preset time period at intervals of a first preset time period. Through the periodic operation of water pump for the inside coolant liquid periodic flow of engine cooling system gets up, and coolant liquid is through mixing in the water jacket, can make water temperature sensor gather more accurate temperature numerical value, avoids engine cylinder body to produce the hot spot under the warm-up operating mode simultaneously, still can reduce the requirement to water temperature sensor mounted position. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, by calibrating T off And T on Time period at T on Starting the water pump in time period T off And the water pump is turned off in a time period, so that accurate water temperature is obtained.
Alternatively, the warm-up condition is an operating state in which the temperature of the engine water is lower than a preset temperature, wherein the preset temperature may be 80 ℃. When the engine is started, the initial water temperature of the engine cooling system is obtained, when the initial water temperature is smaller than or equal to the preset temperature, the engine is judged to enter a warming working condition, and step S10 is executed.
Step S20, when the water pump operates periodically, acquiring the water temperature of an engine cooling system when the water pump operates;
in this embodiment, the water pump operation stage is T in fig. 3 on Time period, obtaining T on The temperature of the water in the engine cooling system during the time period is more accurate as the coolant inside the engine cooling system is flowing at this time.
Alternatively, when the water pump is operated periodically, the average water temperature of the engine cooling system in a single operation period of the water pump is obtained, and the average water temperature is taken as the water temperature of the engine cooling system, namely T is obtained on All water temperature values detected in the time period are averaged to be used as the water temperature of the engine cooling system, so that the detection is carried outThe water temperature is more accurate. Wherein the average water temperature is at a single T on And in the time period, performing mobile calculation on the water temperature value read by the water temperature sensor in the time sequence to obtain the average water temperature.
Step S30, detecting whether the engine exits the warm-up working condition or not according to the water temperature;
in the embodiment, after the more accurate water temperature is obtained, whether the engine exits the warm-up working condition or not can be detected more accurately according to the water temperature. Specifically, when the water temperature is higher than the preset temperature, the engine is judged to exit the warming working condition, and when the water temperature is lower than or equal to the preset temperature, the engine is judged not to exit the warming working condition, namely, the engine is still in the warming working condition.
Alternatively, step S10 may be performed back while the engine is still in the warmed-up condition.
And S40, when the engine is detected to exit the warm-up working condition, controlling the water pump to operate according to the target rotating speed corresponding to the water temperature.
In this embodiment, when it is detected that the engine exits the warm-up condition, it indicates that the engine enters the normal operating state, and at this time, the water pump may be controlled to operate according to the target rotation speed corresponding to the water temperature, so as to cool and dissipate heat of the engine.
Optionally, when the target rotation speed corresponding to the water temperature is calculated, the cooling power of the engine may be calculated, the water flow rate required by the engine may be calculated according to the water temperature, the preset target water temperature of the engine, and the cooling power, and then the coolant flow rate may be converted into the corresponding water pump rotation speed value, that is, the target rotation speed. For example, in a previous test, the thermal power transmitted to the cooling liquid by the engine under different rotational speed loads is actually measured, so that the corresponding relation between the rotational speed of the engine and the thermal power is obtained, and the thermal power corresponding to the current rotational speed of the engine is the cooling power of the engine. The heat dissipation power when the water temperature is reduced to a preset target water temperature of the engine when the water flow is specified can be calculated according to a thermodynamic formula, so that the water flow when the heat dissipation power is matched with the cooling power of the engine, namely the water flow required by the engine, can be determined.
In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, through when the engine warmup, the water pump of periodic operation to make cooling system's water temperature distribution more even, compare the water temperature that detects when the water pump shut down more accurate, thereby improve engine cooling system's cooling effect.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 2, after step S30, the method further includes:
s50, when the engine is detected not to exit the warm-up working condition, water flow corresponding to the water temperature is obtained;
in this embodiment, when it is detected that the engine does not exit the warm-up condition, the rotation speed of the water pump can be periodically controlled according to the detected more accurate water temperature, so that more accurate flow regulation is realized. Specifically, the cooling power of the engine can be calculated, the water flow required by the engine can be calculated according to the water temperature, the preset target water temperature of the engine and the cooling power, and how to periodically control the rotating speed of the water pump can be judged according to the water flow.
Step S60, when the water flow is less than or equal to the preset flow, returning to the step of controlling the water pump of the engine cooling system to periodically operate;
in this embodiment, when the water flow is less than or equal to the preset flow, it indicates that the water flow is small, and the water pump may have an excessively low rotation speed or stop operating, so that the step of controlling the water pump of the engine cooling system to periodically operate may be performed to continue to periodically control the water pump. Alternatively, the preset flow rate may be zero, i.e. when there is no flow demand, returning to the step of performing the periodic operation of the water pump controlling the engine cooling system.
And S70, when the water flow is larger than the preset flow, controlling the water pump of the engine cooling system to periodically operate according to the target rotating speed corresponding to the water temperature, and returning to execute the step of acquiring the water temperature of the engine cooling system when the water pump is periodically operated.
In this embodiment, when the water flow is greater than the preset flow, the water pump of the engine cooling system may be controlled to periodically operate according to the target rotation speed corresponding to the water temperature, so as to prevent the engine cylinder from being damaged due to hot spots in the warm-up stage. Alternatively, the preset flow rate may be zero, i.e. when there is a flow demand, i.e. the water pump of the engine cooling system is controlled to run periodically at a target speed corresponding to the water temperature.
In the technical scheme disclosed in this embodiment, when detecting that the engine does not exit the warm-up working condition, the rotating speed of the water pump during periodic operation is correspondingly controlled according to the water flow corresponding to the water temperature so as to meet the heat dissipation requirement of the engine in the warm-up stage.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, on the basis of the embodiment shown in any one of fig. 2 to 3, the step S10 includes:
s11, when the engine is in a warming working condition, detecting whether heat exchange requirements exist in all modules of the vehicle or not, wherein the modules of the vehicle comprise a passenger compartment, the engine and an exhaust gas recirculation system;
and S12, each module of the vehicle does not have a heat exchange requirement, and a water pump of an engine cooling system is controlled to periodically operate.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the general schematic diagram of the cooling circuit when the Engine cooling system can communicate with the heat exchange pipeline of each module of the vehicle realizes the thermal management of the vehicle, in the figure, coolant Sensor represents a Coolant temperature Sensor, TANK represents a cooling water TANK, TC represents a turbocharger (Turbo Charge), EOC represents an Engine oil cooler (Engine oil cooler), cylinder Head represents a Cylinder Head, cylinder Block represents a Cylinder Block, EGR represents an exhaust gas recirculation system, FSV represents a throttle valve, HT Rad represents a high temperature Radiator (HT Radiator), and HVCH represents a high pressure heater. Therefore, when the engine is in a warm-up working condition, whether heat exchange requirements exist in all modules of the vehicle can be detected. If the water temperature detection device does not exist, the fact that the vehicle does not have the coolant flow requirement is shown, the water pump can stop running to cause inaccurate water temperature detection, and therefore the water pump of the engine cooling system can be controlled to run periodically, and water temperature detection is more accurate. The sources of the coolant flow demand include an Engine block, an Engine head, engine oil, low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LP-EGR), a Cabin Heater, a high temperature Radiator (HT Radiator), and a Turbo charger. The three-way valve (HTV) has two states of 1 inlet and 3 outlet (1 in3 out) and 2 inlet and 3 outlet (2 in3 out), and the pressure valve (Bypass) has two states of opening (on) and closing (off), so that the three-way valve and the pressure valve are matched in 4 states in the warming-up process: (1) HTV 1in3out AND Bypass off; (2) HTV 1in3out AND Bypass on; (3) HTV 2in3out AND Bypass off; AND (4) the HTV 2in3out AND Bypass on.
Optionally, when at least one module of the vehicle has a heat exchange demand, the three-way valve of the cooling pipeline where the water pump is located can be adjusted so that the cooling pipeline where the water pump is located is communicated with the module where the heat exchange demand exists, a cooling loop is formed, and the water pump is controlled to operate according to a target rotating speed corresponding to the water temperature of the engine cooling system so as to meet the heat exchange demand of the module where the heat exchange demand exists. It should be noted that the cooling pipeline where the water pump is located is communicated with the module with the heat exchange requirement and is not communicated with the module without the heat exchange requirement, so that the heat exchange effect of the cooling system is better, and unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced. For example, fig. 7 shows a circuit with HVCH heating only, with the three-way valve and the pressure valve in the states: when the HTV 1in3out AND Bypass is off, the flow of the loop is less than 18L/min, the pressure valve is ensured not to be flushed, AND when only the passenger compartment has a heat exchange requirement, the water pump is communicated with a passenger compartment Heater (Cabin Heater) through a three-way valve to form a cooling loop. For another example, fig. 8 shows a circuit in which HVCH is heated and any of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) the flow requested by the passenger compartment heater is more than 18L/min; (2) The engine requests a minimum flow, at which time the states of the three-way valve and the pressure valve are: the HTV 1in3out AND Bypass on, the flow of the loop should be greater than 18L/min at the moment, the pressure valve can be guaranteed to be flushed, AND when a passenger compartment AND an engine have heat exchange requirements, the water pump is communicated with a passenger compartment Heater (Cabin Heater) AND Cylinder heads AND Cylinder blocks (Cylinder Head AND Cylinder Block) through a three-way valve to form a cooling loop.
