TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure, in general, relates to automobiles. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to method and system for engine overrun protection in vehicles.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] A manual transmission vehicle, also known as a standard transmission vehicle, is a multi-speed motor vehicle transmission system, where gear change requires the driver to manually select the gears by operating a gear stick. The engine present in the manual transmission vehicle generates power to drive the wheels, necessitating a connection between the engine and the transmission system.
[0003] Engine overrun in a manual transmission vehicle refers to a situation where the speed of the engine, represented in terms of Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), is higher than maximum permissible limit of the engine. This can happened when the vehicle is over speeding. This can also occur when the vehicle is moving at a higher speed due to its momentum i.e., when the vehicle is going downhill or when a gear of the vehicle is skipped while shifting. However, the excessive engine overrun, especially at very high RPM’s potentially leads to mechanical stress on the engine and vehicle failure in long run Hence there is a need for a technique to keep the engine speed within maximum permissible range and to prevent the vehicle failure.

The following description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.
[0019] FIG. 1 illustrates an overview of an exemplary environment 100 for engine overrun protection in a vehicle, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0020] In an embodiment, the environment 100 may comprise a system 101 and a vehicle 102 navigating on the road. The vehicle 102 may comprise a plurality of wheel speed sensors 103, a solenoid valve 105, and a braking system 107. In one non-limiting embodiment, the system 101 may be any computing device configurable to protect engine overrun in the vehicle 102.

Further, the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 may include passive sensors or active sensors. In an implementation, the system 101 may be deployed within the vehicle 102.
[0021] In an embodiment, the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 may detect the speed of the wheels associated with the vehicle 102. The system 101 receives the wheel speed data from the plurality of the wheel speed sensors 103. In an embodiment, each wheel speed sensor may be mounted on a respective wheel of the vehicle 102.
[0022] Upon receiving the wheel speed data, the system 101 may determine an engine speed of the vehicle 102 based on the received wheel speed data.

[0023] Upon comparing the engine speed with the predetermined engine speed range, the system 101 may actuate activate the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102 with a predetermined air pressure. In an embodiment, if the engine speed decreases below the predetermined engine speed range, the system 101 deactivates the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102 by deenergizing at least one solenoid valve 105 to remove the predetermined air pressure.us, the system 101 facilitates engine overrun protection and avoid undue stress on the engine.
[0024] FIG. 2 shows a detailed block diagram of a system 201 for engine overrun protection in a vehicle, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0025] In an embodiment, the system 201 may include an I/O interface 203, a control unit 205, and a memory 207. The system 201 is similar to system 101 of FIG. 1. The I/O interface 203 may be communicatively interfaced with the vehicle 102 for collecting various information related to the navigation of the vehicle 102. The memory 207 may be communicatively coupled to the processing unit 205 and the one or more modules 209. The control unit 205 may be configured to perform one or more functions of the system 201 for protecting engine overrun in the vehicle 102 using one or more modules 209.
[0026] In an embodiment, the one or more modules 209 may include a wheel speed data receiving module 211, an engine speed determination module 213, an engine speed comparison module 215, a solenoid valve actuation module 217, and other modules 219. The other modules 219 may include any component or module, which may be necessary for protecting engine overrun in the vehicle 102.
[0027] In an embodiment, the wheel speed data receiving module 211 may be configured to receive the wheel speed data from the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103. Each wheel speed sensor is mounted on the respective wheel of the vehicle 102. The plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 may detect the speed of the wheels associated with the vehicle 102, which corresponds to the actual speed of the vehicle 102. The system 201 receives the wheel speed data from the plurality of the wheel speed sensors 103 using the wheel speed data receiving module 211. In an embodiment, each wheel of the vehicle is mounted with at least one speed sensor.
[0028] In an embodiment, the engine speed determination module 213 may be configured to determine the engine speed of the vehicle 102, based on the received wheel speed data. This may be performed by calculating the number of revolutions performed by the engine per minute which is proportional to the wheel speed data.
[0029] In an embodiment, the engine speed comparison module 215 continuously compares the engine speed of the vehicle 102 with the predetermined engine speed range. In an embodiment, the predetermined engine speed range may be determined at least based on the type of the engine installed in the vehicle 102.
[0030] In an embodiment, the solenoid valve actuation valve 217 may be configured to actuate at least one solenoid valve 105 to activate the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102 with the predetermined air pressure when the engine speed increases beyond the predetermined engine speed range. In an embodiment, the system 201 receives the predetermined air pressure from the at least one air tank through the at least one solenoid valve 105 associated with the vehicle 102. Further the system 201 determines an air pressure released by the brake pedal of the vehicle 102 and compares the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal. Furthermore, the solenoid valve actuation module 217 of the system 201 applies a maximum of the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal, to activate the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102. The braking system 107 is activated through the at least one dual check valve associated with the vehicle 102. The functionality of dual check valve is discussed in detail in below embodiments.
[0031] FIG. 3 shows an exemplary representation 300 of activating a braking system of a vehicle under engine overrun condition, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0032] In an embodiment, the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 mounted on the wheels of the vehicle 102 may detect the wheel speed of the vehicle 102. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 may include a first wheel speed sensor 303 mounted on the front wheels 305 and a second wheel speed sensor 307 mounted on the rear wheels 309 of the vehicle 102. Further the system 301 receives the wheel speed data from the first wheel speed sensor 303 and the second wheel speed sensor 305. The system
301 is similar to the system 101 of FIG. 1 and the system 201 of FIG. 2. The system 301 may comprise all components of the system 201.
[0033] Upon receiving the wheel speed data, the control unit 205 of the system 301 determines the engine speed of the vehicle 102 based on the received wheel speed data. In an embodiment the control unit 205 calculates the number of revolutions performed by the engine per minute at least based on the wheel speed data. Further in an embodiment, the wheel speed data corresponds to the actual speed of the vehicle 102.
[0034] Once the control unit 205 determines the engine speed of the vehicle 102, the control unit 205 continuously compares the engine speed of the vehicle 102 with the predetermined engine speed range. In an embodiment, the predetermined engine speed range may be determined at least based on a type of the engine installed in the vehicle 102. For example, the predetermined engine speed range may be 1000 RPM for vehicle 102 of type 1, whereas the predetermined engine speed range may be 2000 RPM for vehicle 102 of type 2.
[0035] Upon the comparison, if the engine speed of the vehicle 102 increases beyond the predetermined engine speed range, the control unit 205 actuates at least one solenoid valve 105 of the vehicle 102 by sending an actuation signal to the solenoid valve 105. As shown in FIG. 3, the solenoid valve 105 may include, without limiting to, a solenoid valve 311 and a solenoid valve 313.
[0036] Once the solenoid valve 311 receives the actuation signal from the system 301 for its actuation, the solenoid valve 311 receives the predetermined air pressure from the front air tank 315 of the vehicle 102 through the pressure regulating valve 319. Similarly, if the solenoid valve 313 receives the actuation signal from the system 301, the solenoid valve 213 receives the predetermined air pressure from the rear air tank 319 of the vehicle 102 through the pressure regulating valve 321 as shown in FIG. 3.
[0037] Upon receiving the predetermined air pressure from the respective air tanks, the solenoid valve 311 and the solenoid valve 313 sends the predetermined air pressure to the dual check valve 323 and the dual check valve 325 respectively. Further the system 301 determines the air pressure released by the braking pedal of the vehicle 102. In an
embodiment, the dual check valve 323 and the dual check valve 325 may be coupled to a brake pedal through the dual brake valve 327.
[0038] In an embodiment, the system 301 compares the air pressure released by the brake pedal and the predetermined air pressure released from the air tanks. For example, the system 301 compares the air pressure released by the brake pedal and the predetermined air pressure released from the front air tank 315 using the dual check valve 323. Similarly, the system 301 compares the air pressure released by the brake pedal and the predetermined air pressure released from the rear air tank 319 using the dual check valve 325 as illustrated in FIG. 3.
[0039] Upon comparing the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal of the vehicle 102, the system 301 applies a maximum of the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal to activate the braking system 329 of the vehicle 102. Thus, the dual check valve 323 and the dual check valve 325 may be configured to release the maximum of the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal to the braking system 329 of the vehicle 102. The braking system 329 is similar to the braking system 107 of FIG. 1.
[0040] In an embodiment, the braking system 329 may include, without limiting to, a relay 331, a modulator valve 333, a brake chamber 335 and a spring brake actuator 337. Further in an embodiment, the brake chamber 335 may be configured to provide automatic braking to the front wheels 305 and the spring brake actuator 337 may be configured to provide automatic braking to the rear wheels 309 of the vehicle 102. Let us consider an example in which the air pressure released by the brake pedal may be represented using ‘A’ and the predetermined air pressure received from the front air tank 315 may be represented using ‘B’ as shown in FIG. 3. The output of the dual check valve 323 represented as ‘Y’ may be determined for four cases as represented below:
(i) If A=0 and B=0, Y=0, which means that there is no manual braking applied by the driver and there is no solenoid valve 311 actuation. Hence the output Y=0 corresponds to vehicle 102 running under normal condition. (ii) If A=1 and B=0, Y=1, which means that the vehicle 102 undergoes a normal braking due to the manual braking applied by the driver. The normal braking operation is performed by dual check valve 323 releasing the air pressure released by the brake pedal to the braking system 329.
(iii) If A=0 and B=1, Y=1, which means that there is a solenoid valve 311 actuation due to engine overrun condition and the braking operation is performed by dual check valve 323 releasing the predetermined air pressure released by the solenoid valve 311 to the braking system 329.
(iv) If A=1 and B=1, Y=1, which means that there is both manual braking applied by the driver and the solenoid valve 311 actuation due to the engine overrun condition. Under this condition, the dual check valve 323 releases the maximum of A and B having higher braking requirement.
[0041] FIG. 4 illustrates a flowchart illustrating a method 400 for comparison of the engine actual speed with the predetermined engine speed, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0042] In an embodiment, at step 401, the method 400 includes monitoring of the engine actual speed by the control unit 205. In an embodiment, the system 101 may be configured to determine the engine speed of the vehicle 102, based on receiving wheel speed data from plurality of sensors 103. This may be performed by calculating the number of revolutions performed by the engine per minute at least based on the wheel speed data.
[0043] In an embodiment, at step 402, the method 400 includes comparing the engine actual speed with the predetermined engine speed range. In an embodiment, predetermined engine speed range may be categorized into a fly up speed, an engine protection speed and a maximum permissible engine speed. If the predetermined engine speed range is within the fly up speed and the engine protection speed, the engine status of the vehicle 102 is in safe zone. However, if the engine speed range exceeds the maximum permissible engine speed, then the engine status of the vehicle 102 is in danger zone leading to engine overrun condition in the vehicle 102. Taking an example into consideration, the fly up speed may be 2650 RPM and the engine protection speed may be 2800 RPM. The speed of the engine under this range is considered safe. However, if the engine speed exceeds the maximum permissible engine speed which may be 3250 RPM, the engine of the vehicle 102 is considered to be in overrun condition.
[0044] If the engine actual speed increases beyond the predetermined engine speed range, the method 400 moves to step 403. In an embodiment, at step 403, the system 101 performs an autobrake application using the solenoid valve 311 actuation. However, if the engine
actual speed is not increased beyond the predetermined engine speed range, then the system 101 does not perform any action of auto braking on the braking system 107 as indicated in step 404.
[0045] In an embodiment, at step 404, the method 400 includes again comparing the engine actual speed with the predetermined engine speed range. If the engine speed is again increased beyond the predetermined engine speed range, the method 400 moves to step 403 for performing the autobrake application using solenoid valve 105 actuation.
[0046] If the engine speed is decreased below the predetermined engine speed range, the system 101 deactivates the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102 by deenergizing the at least one solenoid valve 105, which removes the predetermined air pressure applied to the braking system.
[0047] FIG. 5 illustrates a flowchart illustrating a method of actuating the solenoid valve 105, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0048] At block 501, the method 500 describes receiving wheel speed data from a plurality of wheel speed sensors 103. Each wheel speed sensor is mounted on a respective wheel of the vehicle 102. In an embodiment, the plurality of wheel speed sensors 103 may detect the speed of the wheels associated with the vehicle 102 and may send the detected values to the system 101.
[0049] At block 502, the method 500 describes determining the engine speed of the vehicle 102, based on the received wheel speed data. In an embodiment, the determining includes calculating the number of revolutions performed by the engine per minute at least based on the wheel speed data. Further, in an embodiment, the wheel speed data may correspond to the actual speed of the vehicle 102.
[0050] At block 503, the method 500 describes continuously comparing the engine speed of the vehicle 102 with a predetermined engine speed range. In an embodiment, the predetermined engine speed range may be determined at least based on a type of the engine installed in the vehicle 102.
[0051] At block 504, the method 500 describes actuating at least one solenoid valve 105 to activate the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102 with the predetermined air pressure when engine speed increases beyond the predetermined engine speed range.
[0052] FIG. 6 illustrates a flowchart illustrating a method for activating the braking system of the vehicle with the predetermined air pressure, in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0053] At block 601, the method 600 describes receiving the predetermined air pressure from at least one air tank through the at least one solenoid valve 105.
[0054] At block 602, the method 600 describes determining the air pressure released by a brake pedal of the vehicle 102. In an embodiment, the air pressure released by the brake pedal of the vehicle 102 corresponds to the pressure applied by the driver manually on the brake pedal of the vehicle 102.
[0055] At block 603, the method 600 describes comparing the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal.
[0056] At block 604, the method 600 describes applying a maximum of the predetermined air pressure and the air pressure released by the brake pedal, to activate the braking system 107 of the vehicle 102. The braking system 107 is activated through the at least one dual check valve associated with the vehicle 102.
