Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of engine control, in particular to an engine intake air flow estimation method and system.

Background

The gas entering a cylinder of a general air inlet channel injection engine is a mixed gas of oil and air, the fuel injection time is prior to the air intake quantity completion time (for premixing, the fuel injection is generally injected into an air intake manifold in advance), namely the fuel injection is completed before the air intake is completed at the bottom dead center of an air intake stroke. The fuel concentration can be accurately ensured if the engine is operated under steady-state conditions. However, if the engine is in a transient operating condition with a sharp change, the next cylinder intake air amount must be estimated approximately before the oil amount calculation, and then the target oil amount calculation is performed based on the intake air amount. Only in this way, the air-fuel ratio of the next time period can be better ensured, otherwise, the phenomena of 'lean acceleration and over-rich deceleration' of the engine are easily caused, the torque responsiveness is poor under the transient working condition, the emission is deteriorated, and therefore the air inflow in the cylinder needs to be estimated.

In some related technologies, a dynamic intake air flow estimation scheme adopted by a current single-point injection engine is the same as that of an air inlet multi-point injection engine, that is, based on manifold pressures of a current time period and a previous time period, manifold pressure of a next time period is estimated through an interpolation method, and then the estimated intake air flow is calculated by using a speed-density method, but the following problems exist:

(1) for a single-point injection engine, fuel oil (or fuel gas) is injected at the front end of an intake manifold, and the fuel oil (or fuel gas) enters a cylinder for combustion after oil and gas are mixed in the intake manifold, so expected fuel injection quantity is calculated based on fresh air flow in the intake manifold, dynamic intake air flow estimation of the single-point injection engine is carried out by adopting dynamic intake air flow estimation of a multi-point injection engine, and fresh air flow filled in the intake manifold under a dynamic working condition is not estimated, so that estimation of the intake air quantity of the engine in the next time period has deviation.

(2) When the dynamic intake air flow is estimated, the expected throttle opening degree is not considered, the expected throttle opening degree requirements under different states are different, and when the expected throttle opening degree changes, the deviation between the estimated intake air flow and the actual flow is large.

for a single-point injection engine, since fuel (or gas) is injected at the front end of the intake manifold and combusted in the cylinder after the mixture of fuel and gas in the intake manifold, the expected fuel injection amount should be calculated based on the air flow newly charged into the intake manifold. Regarding the intake manifold as an open system, the pressure change equation in the intake manifold can be obtained according to the ideal gas state equation, and the following formula is specifically shown in the specification:

wherein V_mAs the volume of the intake manifold,for pressure in the intake manifold, T_mIs the temperature before the throttle valve, R is the gas constant,for the flow rate of intake air flowing into the intake manifold,is the flow out of the intake manifold.
