Description
- The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application Number 10-2010-0084694 filed Aug. 31, 2010, the entire contents of which application is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a system for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a system for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine that can prevent frictional loss due to hydraulic pressure and unnecessary consumption of oil, by controlling the opening of a solenoid valve mounted in each channel in accordance with the speed and load of the engine and temperature of the oil to supply oil corresponding to the minimum flow rate required by each gallery, and a control method thereof.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- In general, in vehicles, fuel and air flow into the combustion chamber of the engine and then are compressed and exploded, such that the pistons in the engine reciprocates up/down and the up-down reciprocation of the pistons is converted into rotation of the crankshaft, thereby achieving torque.
- The parts in the engine make friction therebetween when generating power and the friction of the parts may reduce the power and decrease the life span of the engine.
- Further, heat is generated with combustion in the combustion chambers by the pistons in the engine and the inside of the engine is cooled by supplying oil into the engine. The oil pump that supplies the oil into the engine operates in proportion to the operational speed of the engine. The oil discharged from the oil pump is supplied to the main and head gallery of the engine through an oil cooler for cooling and an oil filter for filtering.
- However, the oil pressure is different at the oil pump and at the main and head gallery due to hydraulic pressure loss generated through the oil cooler or the oil filter or flow restrictors. The oil pressure should be set high at the oil pump in order to achieve the desired oil pressure at the main and head gallery.
- Therefore, it is required to increase very high oil pressure at the oil pump to supply hydraulic pressure corresponding to the desired hydraulic pressure at each gallery, and accordingly, friction increases at the oil pump. According to the engine operating condition, the required oil flow at the branched oil consumption parts are varied. However, the oil flow delivered to those is mostly proportional to the engine speed at the engine. This makes excessive oil should be delivered at the normal engine operating condition in order to meet the minimum required oil flow at all the branched parts. This means oil pumping work should be high and hydraulic pressure loss increase at the oil pump, the oil cooler, and the oil filter and oil consumption is increased by unnecessarily supplying the oil.

On the contrary, the invention(s) is/are intended to cover not only the exemplary embodiments, but also various alternatives, modifications, equivalents and other embodiments, which may be included within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 , in a system for supplying oil into the engine, as the engine starts, anoil pump 12 pumps up oil from anoil pan 11 connected with the inlet and discharges the oil through the outlet. The oil is sent under predetermined pressure to anoil cooler 13 connected with the outlet ofoil pump 12 and cooled throughoil cooler 13. The oil cooled throughoil cooler 13 is filtered through anoil filter 14 and supplied to amain oil gallery 16 in the cylinder block of the engine. - The oil supplied to
main oil gallery 16 is supplied to each main bearing journals of the cylinder block. - The oil filtered through
oil filter 14 is supplied to ahead oil gallery 15 in the cylinder head of the engine. The oil supplied tohead oil gallery 15 is supplied to the locker shaft of the cylinder head and into the cylinder head. - The oil filtered through
oil filter 14 is supplied to apiston cooling gallery 17 in the cylinder block of the engine. The oil supplied topiston cooling gallery 17 is supplied to each piston through a plurality ofpiston cooling jet 18. - A
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine includes a first solenoid valve Vs1 in the channel connecting the inlet with the outlet ofoil pump 12, such that it can prevent hydraulic pressure from excessively increasing at the outlet ofoil pump 12 by controlling the opening of the channel between the inlet and the outlet ofoil pump 12, in accordance with the oil temperature and the vehicle speed. First solenoid valve Vs1 is electrically connected with anelectronic controller 110 and controlled to operate by theelectronic controller 110. -
Oil pump 12 operates in proportion to the engine speed, and even ifoil pump 12 operates at the same speed, the hydraulic pressure is high when the oil temperature is low and the hydraulic pressure is relatively low when the oil temperature is high, as compared with when the oil temperature is low. - Therefore,
electronic controller 110 controls first solenoid valve Vs1 such that the hydraulic pressure fromoil pump 12 is controlled in accordance with the oil temperature and the vehicle speed, in order to prevent the pressure of the oil discharged fromoil pump 12, which operates in proportion to the engine speed, from increasing when the oil temperature is low. - That is,
electronic controller 110 controls first solenoid valve Vs1 such that desired hydraulic pressure required formain oil gallery 16 is supplied, in accordance with the engine speed and the engine load in the cold period where the oil temperature is low. - Further,
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine further includes a second solenoid valve Vs2 between the inlet and the outlet ofoil cooler 13. That is, second solenoid valve Vs2 controls flow rate in the channel connecting the outlet ofoil pump 12 and the inlet ofoil filter 14. - Second solenoid valve Vs2 is controlled to open the channel between the inlet and the outlet of
oil cooler 13 byelectronic controller 110 in accordance with the oil temperature such that the oil discharged fromoil pump 12 is directly supplied tooil filter 14, without being cooled throughoil cooler 13. - As described above,
electronic controller 110 can prevent pressure loss throughoil cooler 13 by opening second solenoid valve Vs2 such that the oil discharged fromoil pump 12 is directly supplied tooil filter 14, without operatingoil cooler 13, when the oil temperature is low. - Further,
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine further includes a third solenoid valve Vs3 between the outlet ofoil filter 14 andpiston cooling gallery 17. - Third solenoid valve Vs3 controls the amount of oil supplied to
piston cooling gallery 17 on the basis of the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature. - Third solenoid valve Vs3 controls unnecessary excessive supply of oil to a
piston cooling jet 18, while the vehicle travels at a low speed, on the basis of the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature. The engine load may be determined from the position of the driving gear of the vehicle, the amount of fuel, and the temperature of cooling water. -
Electronic controller 110 can prevent oil supply topiston cooling gallery 17 by closing third solenoid valve Vs3 while the vehicle travels at a low speed under a predetermined speed. - Since the larger the flow rate of the oil supplied to
piston cooling gallery 17 through third solenoid valve Vs3, the more the hydraulic pressure decreases at the outlet ofoil pump 12, under the same engine speed and the same oil temperature,electronic controller 110 controls the hydraulic pressure at the outlet ofoil pump 12 by operating third solenoid valve Vs3 in accordance with the vehicle speed and the oil temperature. - Further,
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine further includes a fourth solenoid valve Vs4 between the outlet ofoil filter 14 andhead oil gallery 15. - Fourth solenoid valve Vs4 controls the amount of oil supplied to head
oil gallery 15 on the basis of the revolution number of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature. - The opening of fourth solenoid valve Vs4 is controlled by
electronic controller 110 on the basis of the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature, to supply the minimum amount of oil required forhead oil gallery 15. The engine load may be determined from the position of the driving gear of the vehicle, the amount of fuel, and the temperature of cooling water. - Further, the smaller the opening of fourth solenoid valve Vs4, the more the hydraulic pressure applied to
main oil gallery 16 decreases. Further, with second solenoid valve Vs2 open, the hydraulic pressure applied tomain oil gallery 16 decreases, while the smaller the opening of third solenoid valve Vs3, the more the hydraulic pressure applied tomain oil gallery 16 decreases. - Therefore,
electronic controller 110 controls the opening of first solenoid valve Vs1 to prevent the flow rate tomain oil gallery 16 from decreasing, in accordance with the opening of second solenoid valve Vs2, third solenoid valve Vs3, and fourth solenoid valve Vs4, thereby re-compensating the flow rate fromoil pump 12 to the desired flow rate. - Although all of first solenoid valve Vs1, second solenoid valve Vs2, third solenoid valve Vs3, and fourth solenoid valve Vs4 of
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine is shown inFIG. 1 , at least only any one of solenoid valves Vs1, Vs2, Vs3, and Vs4 may be included, for the features of the engine of the vehicle. - As described above, since first solenoid valve Vs1, second solenoid valve Vs2, third solenoid valve Vs3, and fourth solenoid valve Vs4 are controlled by
electronic controller 110 in accordance with the engine speed, the engine load, and the oil temperature, insystem 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine, it is possible to supply flow rate corresponding to the desired minimum flow rate required for each gallery. Therefore, it is possible to reduce frictional pressure applied to the oil pump and improve fuel efficiency by preventing unnecessarily excessive flow rate and frictional loss due to the increase of hydraulic pressure. - On the other hand, a method of controlling
system 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine show inFIG. 1 includes measuring parameters (S1), controlling second solenoid valve (S2), controlling third solenoid valve (S3), controlling fourth solenoid valve (S4), and controlling first solenoid valve (S5), as shown inFIG. 2 . The method of controllingsystem 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine is described with reference tosystem 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine shown inFIG. 1 . - Sensing parameters transmitting parameters measured by sensors of the vehicle to electronic controller 110 (S1) is first performed to measure the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature. The engine load may be determined from the position of the driving gear of the vehicle, the amount of fuel, and the temperature of cooling water.
-
Electronic controller 110 performs the controlling of solenoid valves for controlling solenoid valves Vs1, Vs2, Vs3, and Vs4 (S2, S3, S4, and S5) after comparing the transmitted parameter values Pa with reference values. -
Electronic controller 110 determines whether the sensed oil temperature To is smaller than a reference temperature A to perform the controlling of second solenoid valve (S2) (S21).Electronic controller 110 closes second solenoid valve Vs2 (S23) to supply the oil cooled through oil cooler 13 tooil filter 14, when determining that the oil temperature To is higher than the reference temperature A. -
Electronic controller 110 can prevent the pressure from being reduced by oil cooler 13 by opening second solenoid valve Vs2 (S22) such that the oil bypasses, without operatingoil cooler 13, when the oil temperature To is smaller than the reference temperatureA. Electronic controller 110 controls the flow rate tomain oil gallery 16 by controlling second solenoid valve Vs2 on the basis of the amount of opening estimated from parameter values 19. - Further,
electronic controller 110 compares the parameter values Pa transmitted to perform the controlling of third solenoid valve (S3) with reference values Th (S31). - For example,
electronic controller 110 determines that the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, and prevents the oil supply topiston cooling gallery 17 by closing third solenoid valve Vs3 (S32), when the number of revolution of engine in the parameter values Pa is less than the reference number of revolution Th. -
Electronic controller 110 controls the amount of opening of third solenoid valve such that the desired flow rate required bypiston cooling gallery 17 in accordance with the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature is supplied, when the parameter values Pa are larger than the reference values. -
Electronic controller 110 controls the amount of opening of fourth solenoid valve Vs4 (S4) to supply the desired flow rate required forhead oil gallery 15 in accordance with the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature, which are the parameter values Pa, in order to perform the controlling of fourth solenoid valve. -
Electronic controller 110 calculates the amount of opening of first solenoid valve Vs1 for supplying the desired flow rate required for main oil gallery 16 (S51), in accordance with the operational states of second solenoid valve Vs2, third solenoid valve Vs3, and fourth solenoid valve Vs4, and the number of revolution of engine, the engine load, and the oil temperature, which are the parameter values Pa, in order to perform the controlling of fifth solenoid valve (S5). Further,electronic controller 110 controls first solenoid valve Vs1 to be opened as much as the calculated amount of opening of first solenoid valve Vs1 (S52). - As described above, since first solenoid valve Vs1, second solenoid valve Vs2, third solenoid valve Vs3, and fourth solenoid valve Vs4 are controlled by
electronic controller 110 in accordance with the engine speed, the engine load, and the oil temperature, in the method of controllingsystem 100 for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine, it is possible to supply flow rate corresponding to the desired minimum flow rate required for each gallery. Therefore, it is possible to reduce frictional pressure applied to the oil pump and improve fuel efficiency by preventing unnecessarily excessive flow rate and frictional loss due to the increase of hydraulic pressure. - The above description is an embodiment for implementing a system for controlling hydraulic pressure and flow rate of oil in an engine and a control method thereof of the present invention and the present invention is not limited thereto.
