Description

Opening degree estimation method of electric heating thermostat
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for estimating the opening degree of a thermostat, in particular to a method for estimating the opening degree of an electric heating thermostat of an engine.
Background
The thermostat is a very important part in the implementation of the current engine thermal management system, and the installation position and the function of the thermostat can be shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1, the thermostat is located in the engine coolant circuit and is part of the distribution to the radiator and engine block to control the water pump discharge rate. In the traditional paraffin wax thermostat, under the condition that the cooling liquid is low, a thermostat valve closes a channel between an engine and a radiator under the action of a spring, and the cooling liquid returns to the engine through a water pump, namely, the cooling liquid is in small circulation. With the gradual increase of the temperature of the cooling liquid, the paraffin begins to melt into liquid, and the valve is opened finally under the action of the push rod. At this time, the cooling liquid flows back to the engine through the radiator and the thermostat valve and then through the water pump to perform large circulation.
However, the conventional paraffin wax thermostat has been difficult to satisfy the requirement of rapidity and accuracy of response of water temperature partition control to water temperature control. The electronic thermostat has high response speed, but the cost is higher at present, and the electronic thermostat cannot be popularized to low-end cars. The electric heating thermostat has a structure shown in fig. 2, and may include a housing, a large circulation valve, a connection plug, a pressure spring, a small circulation valve, paraffin placed in a rubber tube, an expansion element, a lift pin, a temperature adjusting unit, a heating resistor, and the like, which are mounted on the housing, and the operating principle is as follows: when the cooling temperature of the cooling liquid of the engine is lower than a specified value, the refined paraffin in the thermostat temperature sensing body is in a solid state, the thermostat valve closes a channel between the engine and the radiator under the action of the pressure spring, and the cooling liquid returns to the engine through the water pump to perform small circulation in the engine. When the temperature of the cooling liquid reaches a specified value, the paraffin begins to melt and gradually becomes liquid, the volume is increased along with the melting of the paraffin, and the rubber tube is pressed to shrink. When the rubber tube contracts, the upward thrust is acted on the lift pin, and the downward reverse thrust of the push rod to the large circulating valve opens the valve. At this time, the coolant flows through a radiator and a thermostat valve provided in the coolant circuit, and then flows back to the engine through a water pump, and is circulated.
However, the existing electric heating thermostat needs to be provided with a position sensor to detect the opening degree of the thermostat, and because the position sensor has higher cost, part of middle-class cars can be provided with a position feedback sensor for the electric heating thermostat, so that the electric heating thermostat cannot be popularized.
Therefore, there is a high necessity for a solution that can realize the estimation of the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat at low cost.

Detailed Description
In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
The method for estimating the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat provided by the embodiment of the invention is used for estimating the opening degree of the existing electric heating thermostat, and in one example, the method can be used for estimating the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat shown in fig. 2.
The method for estimating the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat is used for calculating the opening degree of the thermostat at each calculation time in a preset time period and can be executed by an Engine Control Unit (ECU). The preset time period in the present embodiment may be a time period from the start of the vehicle to the stop of the vehicle, each calculation time may be set by actual conditions, and may be performed inside the ECU by a start timing mechanism, for example, the ECU may perform the estimation of the opening degree once every 10s, so that the interval between each calculation time is 10s, and at each calculation time, the ECU may automatically perform the calculation of the opening degree of the thermostat. In practical application, the ECU can control the opening degree of the thermostat by utilizing the estimated opening degree of the thermostat at any time.
When the method for estimating the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat provided in this embodiment is used to estimate the opening degree of the thermostat, 4 preset characteristic tables, namely, the first to fourth preset characteristic tables, are required, and the 4 characteristic tables are described first.
Preset first character table
In the present embodiment, the preset first characteristic table represents the correspondence relationship between different cooling water temperatures and resistance wire heating duty ratios, that is, the thermostat heating duty ratio (FulOpn _ Thmst _ Percent) corresponding to the full thermostat opening from the current water temperature (ECT) of the cooling water of the engine. The characteristic table can be obtained as follows: placing flowmeters in front of and behind the electric heating thermostat, namely respectively arranging the flowmeters on a water inlet pipeline and a water outlet pipeline of the electric heating thermostat, and then loading control signals for increasing the duty ratio for the heating resistance wire at different paraffin temperatures, for example, at different paraffin temperatures with the paraffin temperature step length of 10 ℃, for example, loading the increasing duty ratio of 5 percent until the numerical values of the flowmeters in front of and behind are the same, so that the thermostat is proved to be completely opened. In one example, the resulting first characteristic table form may be as shown in table 1 below:

The corresponding relation between them. The characteristic table can be obtained as follows: in the insulated box, the cooling liquid and the paraffin are placed, the paraffin heating resistor is supplied with currents with different duty ratios, for example, the currents with the duty ratios at intervals of 10%, and then the heat absorption power of the cooling liquid, namely the heat absorption power of the paraffin can be converted by measuring the temperature change of the cooling liquid. In one example, the resulting second characterization form may be as shown in table 2 below:
TABLE 2
Figure BDA0001522767990000052
Preset third character table
In this embodiment, the preset third characteristic table represents a corresponding relationship between different temperature deviations and heat exchange power of the paraffin, that is, a deviation between a paraffin temperature (Wax _ Temp) and a water temperature and an external heat release power of the paraffin
Figure BDA0001522767990000061
The corresponding relation between them. The characteristic table can be obtained as follows: in the heat-insulating box, cooling liquid and paraffin are placed, under the condition of utilizing different water temperature deviations, the temperature change of the cooling liquid is measured and converted into cooling liquid heat exchange power, namely the heat exchange power of the paraffin, when the water temperature is higher than the paraffin temperature, the heat absorption power of the paraffin can be expressed by positive numbers, and when the water temperature is lower than the paraffin temperature, the heat exchange power of the paraffin can be expressed by negative numbersExpressed by numbers, can be determined by the formula E ═ c × m × δ T, where c is the specific heat capacity of the coolant, m is the mass of the coolant, and δ T is the change in temperature of the coolant. In one example, the resulting second profile may be as shown in table 3 below:
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0001522767990000062
Preset fourth character table
In the present embodiment, the preset fourth characteristic table represents the correspondence between different paraffin temperatures and the opening degree Thmst _ Pos of the thermostat. The characteristic table can be obtained as follows: the flow meters are arranged in front of and behind the electric heating thermostat, and the current thermostat opening value is determined by the flow rate ratio of the flow meters under different paraffin temperatures, for example, under different paraffin temperatures with the paraffin temperature step of 10 ℃, for example, two output flow meters, the measurement value of one flow meter is 5L/h, the measurement value of the other flow meter is 15L/h, and then the opening is 5/(5+15) ═ 40%. In one example, the resulting second profile may be as shown in table 4 below:

wherein, cwaxAnd mwaxRespectively representing stoneThe specific heat capacity and mass of the wax can be calibrated by tests,
Figure BDA0001522767990000081

Figure BDA0001522767990000082
the heat absorption power of the paraffin may be obtained by referring to the second characteristic table on the basis of a deviation between the temperature of the paraffin determined at the last calculation time and the temperature of the cooling water at the present calculation time,
Figure BDA0001522767990000083
the heat exchange power of the paraffin can be obtained by referring to the third characteristic table based on the measured resistance ratio heating duty ratio at the current calculation time.
After the paraffin temperature change value at each calculation time is determined through the formula (1), the paraffin temperature at the current calculation time can be further determined based on the calculated paraffin temperature change value and the currently measured cooling water temperature of the engine, and finally, the corresponding thermostat opening can be obtained by utilizing the fourth characteristic table.
Specifically, the paraffin temperature change value at the i +2 th calculation time can be determined by the above equation (1), and specifically, the specific heat capacity of the paraffin, the mass of the paraffin, the determined endothermic power of the paraffin at the i +1 th calculation time, and the determined heat exchange power of the paraffin at the i +1 th calculation time are respectively substituted into the above equation (1) to obtain the paraffin temperature change value at that time.

Further, in the process of calculating the opening degree, the paraffin temperature change value at the 1 st calculation time when i is 1 can be determined based on the specific heat capacity of the paraffin, the mass of the paraffin, the heat absorption power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation time, the heat exchange power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation time and the preset rule, wherein the heat absorption power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation time is determined based on the resistance wire heating duty ratio at the 1 st calculation time; and the heat exchange power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation moment is determined based on the preset initial temperature of the paraffin and the cooling water temperature at the 1 st calculation moment. Wherein, the determination of the heat absorption power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation time based on the resistance wire heating duty ratio at the 1 st calculation time may include: and determining the heat absorption power of the paraffin at the 1 st calculation moment based on the determined resistance wire heating duty ratio at the 1 st calculation moment and a preset second characteristic table.

The initial temperature of paraffin in the embodiment of the invention may be determined based on the engine stall state. For example, when the ECU determines that the engine stall time reaches a preset time, which is determined according to vehicle types, and the required preset time is different for different vehicle types, in one example, when the engine stall time exceeds 1h, the initial paraffin temperature may be set to the cooling water temperature measured at the 1 st calculation time, at which the endothermic power of paraffin may be 0, and when the ECU determines that the engine stall time does not reach the preset time, the paraffin temperature calculated in the previous calculation cycle may be used as the initial paraffin temperature.
After the paraffin temperature change value at the 1 st calculation time is determined, the cooling water temperature at that time may be added to the paraffin temperature change value to obtain the paraffin temperature at that time, and the opening degree of the thermostat at that time may be obtained based on the fourth characteristic table. Accordingly, the calculation of the opening degree of the thermostat at each subsequent calculation time (i is 2 or more) can be determined with reference to the opening degree calculation method of the thermostat at the 1 st calculation time.
In addition, in order to eliminate an accumulated error generated by the calculation of the paraffin temperature in the calculation process, the method for estimating the opening degree of the electric heating thermostat provided by the embodiment of the invention further comprises the following steps: if the heating duty ratio of the resistance wire at the ith calculation time is continuously larger than the fully-opened minimum duty ratio corresponding to the cooling water temperature at the calculation time within a preset time (for example, 30s), the opening degree of the thermostat at the calculation time is set to be 100%, the paraffin temperature at the calculation time is set to be the temperature corresponding to the 100% opening degree, the paraffin temperature at the time is updated, and in the calculation of the paraffin temperature change value at the next time, the updated paraffin temperature is used for determining the heat absorption power of the corresponding paraffin. The fully-open minimum duty ratio corresponding to the cooling water temperature at the ith calculation time may be determined based on the cooling water temperature at the ith calculation time and the preset first characteristic table, that is, the corresponding fully-open minimum duty ratio is obtained by referring to the table 1 by using the cooling water temperature at the current calculation time.
