Patent ID: 11913395
Assignee: NINGBO GEELY ROYAL ENGINE COMPONENTS CO., LTD.
Field: Environmental technology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC F  Y | IPC F

Claim 7:
8. An apparatus for intelligent control of engine initiation, comprising: a drive mode acquisition module configured to acquire a current drive mode of a vehicle;
a first logic module configured to determine whether the current drive mode meets a first predetermined drive mode, wherein the first predetermined drive mode is one of a pure electric drive mode or a hybrid drive mode;
a remaining capacity acquisition module configured to acquire current remaining capacity of a battery when the current drive mode meets the first predetermined drive mode;
a second logic module configured to determine whether the current remaining capacity is greater than a first predetermined capacity threshold;
a first execution module configured not to start an engine when the current remaining capacity is greater than the first predetermined capacity threshold;
a third logic module configured to determine whether an operating state of the vehicle meets a predetermined operating state when the current remaining capacity is not greater than the first predetermined capacity threshold, wherein the predetermined operating state is represented as the vehicle being not in an acceleration state or a torque increasing state, and wherein determining whether the operating state of the vehicle meets the predetermined operating state further comprises: starting the engine to rotate forward without fuel cut-off when the operating state of the vehicle does not meet the predetermined operating state;
a catalytic converter temperature acquisition module configured to acquire a temperature of a catalytic converter when the operating state of the vehicle meets the predetermined operating state, wherein acquiring the temperature of the catalytic converter when the operating state of the vehicle meets the predetermined operating state further comprises: determining whether the current remaining capacity is greater than a second predetermined capacity threshold when the operating state of the vehicle is the predetermined operating state; and acquiring the temperature of the catalytic converter when the current remaining capacity is greater than the second predetermined capacity threshold;
a fourth logic module configured to determine whether the temperature of the catalytic converter is less than a first predetermined temperature threshold;
wherein the first predetermined capacity threshold is a sum of a capacity value required for starting the engine, a capacity threshold required for heating the catalytic converter by a heating plate and a capacity threshold required for operating the vehicle in the pure electric drive mode;
a second execution module configured to start the engine to rotate forward with fuel cut-off when the temperature of the catalytic converter is not less than the first predetermined temperature threshold; and
a third execution module configured to heat the catalytic converter to not less than the first predetermined temperature threshold by the heating plate when the temperature of the catalytic converter is less than the first predetermined temperature threshold.
