Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of intelligent vehicles, and particularly relates to a desorption fault diagnosis method and device, a storage medium, a module and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The monitoring of the evaporative system by the vehicle-mounted control unit includes desorption flow monitoring and leakage monitoring, and the OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) of the diagnosis unit becomes a key factor for improving the reliability and maintainability of the intelligent vehicle.

[0003] Active fault diagnosis of the carbon can unit will interfere with the related system, and normal carbon can flushing needs to be interrupted before diagnosis, which will lose a part of the carbon can flushing opportunity.

[0004] In addition, in the existing diagnosis process, the oil gas entering the engine cannot be sensed by the control system and will also interfere with the control system.

[0005] In order to ensure the robustness of diagnosis, complex enabling conditions need to be set, which brings about corresponding calibration workload; the robustness of diagnosis and the acquisition of its diagnosis opportunity are a pair of contradictions, in order to achieve satisfactory diagnosis robustness, the diagnosis window is usually relatively narrow; if the diagnosis window is enlarged, too much noise may be introduced, which reduces the robustness of diagnosis. SUMMARY

[0006] The application discloses a passive desorption fault diagnosis method and device, and related storage medium, module and vehicle.

[0007] When the working condition information is acquired and it is confirmed that the working condition information meets the preset condition, the possible existing fault is diagnosed through acquisition of a related component feature signal.

[0008] Among them, the working conditions of interest mainly include engine working conditions and / or carbon can flushing working conditions; different diagnoses can be selected to be performed in different specific working conditions, but the method of the application is not limited by the above working conditions, and the diagnosis process can be performed in a wider range of preset, controllable working conditions or even most of the randomly occurring working conditions.

[0009] Furthermore, the interference of the method disclosed by the application on the system to be diagnosed is minimized, and the method disclosed by the application only acquires information and does not attempt to introduce interference to the system to be diagnosed.

[0010] The diagnostic method selectively acquires diagnostic information by acquiring start-stop and / or on-off states of a first execution unit; wherein the first execution unit is excited and / or controlled by a periodic first trigger signal; the first trigger signal is issued by the system to be diagnosed according to actual control needs; the period of the first trigger signal is measured, and a sampling window matching the first trigger signal is thus selected; the sampling window refers to a sampling time period meeting a preset length and / or a set of sampling points meeting a preset number.

[0011] The diagnostic method selectively acquires diagnostic information by acquiring start-stop and / or on-off states of a first execution unit; wherein the first execution unit is excited and / or controlled by a periodic first trigger signal; the first trigger signal is issued by the system to be diagnosed according to actual control needs; the period of the first trigger signal is measured, and a sampling window matching the first trigger signal is thus selected; the sampling window refers to a sampling time period meeting a preset length and / or a set of sampling points meeting a preset number.

[0012] In order to adapt to the related feature extraction algorithm, the above-mentioned first feature vector is periodically acquired; generally, the first feature vector can be a time sequence or function of the pressure signal.

[0013] Further, the feature value and / or feature data can be the frequency and / or period of the pressure signal fluctuation.

[0014] The frequency and / or period of the above-mentioned signal can also be acquired, and then the diagnostic conclusion can be acquired by comparing the relationship between the frequency, period and reference value or preset value, such as difference.

[0015] If the above-mentioned difference meets a preset quantitative relationship with the preset threshold value, the related on-off quantity is set or the necessary signal or instruction is sent to the related system, or the corresponding fault handling process is started or the reminding, alarming and other operations are implemented.

[0016] In order to adapt to the actual scene of diagnosis, the efficiency of diagnosis can be improved by setting an array type diagnostic unit, and at least one of the second execution unit, the third execution unit and the Rth execution unit can be set, wherein R is a positive integer greater than or equal to two.

[0017] In order to acquire different feature vectors, different trigger signals can also be introduced to obtain different sampling windows.

[0018] Specifically, at least one of the second trigger signal, the third trigger signal and the Mth trigger signal can be set, wherein M is a positive integer greater than or equal to two.

[0019] As mentioned above, the second trigger signal, the third trigger signal and the Mth trigger signal can all cause the Rth execution unit to produce start-stop and / or on-off state changes, and due to the existence of the trigger process, the related comparison and judgment unit acquires enough analysis samples, thereby improving the reliability of analysis.

[0020] To adapt to the actual scene of diagnosis, one or more sensors can be arranged at different positions to monitor different desorption pipelines according to the actual configuration of the evaporation system, or the signals of the same sensor are used to monitor the desorption pipelines at different positions.

[0021] The trigger signal is controlled by the system to be diagnosed, and the diagnosis unit itself can not intervene. Here, the "different feature vectors" can be "signal amplitude", "signal frequency / period" or other state estimation results. During the normal control process of the system to be diagnosed, the diagnosis function can collect relevant signals in real time for calculation and judgment.

[0022] The acquisition of the signal can also be based on different application scenarios, and array sensors can be selected, or the same sensor can be placed at different observation points.

[0023] Specifically, a second sensor, a third sensor, and an Nth sensor can be provided, where N is a positive integer greater than or equal to two; the Nth sensor acquires an Nth feature vector, and the Nth feature vector is obtained periodically.

[0024] The Nth feature value and / or Nth feature data obtained from the Nth feature vector are used for the judgment output of the diagnosis result; the Nth feature value and / or Nth feature data are compared with a preset threshold value; and the diagnosis result and / or conclusion are obtained through the threshold relationship and / or correlation thereof.

[0025] Further, the acquisition of the feature value and / or feature data can be performed by a state estimation software and / or method; the state estimation method includes a Kalman filter method and other methods suitable for relevant signals.

[0026] The method of the present application is suitable for different application scenarios and hardware configurations, and the first sensor can be at least one of the following pressure sensors: tank pressure sensor, carbon canister upstream sensor, manifold pressure sensor, and Venturi tube upstream pressure sensor.

[0027] The fault diagnosis device corresponding to the method includes a signal acquisition unit, a sample construction unit, a feature extraction unit, and a comparison and judgment unit.

[0028] The signal acquisition unit acquires working condition information and confirms that the working condition information meets a preset condition; the working condition includes an engine working condition and / or a carbon canister flushing working condition.

[0029] The sample construction unit acquires the start-stop and / or on-off state of the first execution unit; the first execution unit is excited and / or controlled by a periodic first trigger signal.

[0030] By acquiring the period of the first trigger signal, a sampling window matching the first trigger signal is determined; in a sampling duration of a preset length and / or a set of sampling points of a preset number, the acquisition of relevant information is carried out.

[0031] Further, by periodically acquiring the first feature vector collected by the first sensor in the sampling window, the feature value and / or feature data of the first feature vector can be acquired in the feature extraction unit.

[0032] Further, by comparing the relationship and / or correlation between the feature value and / or feature data and the preset threshold value in the comparison judgment unit, a diagnosis result and / or conclusion is obtained.

[0033] Generally, the first feature vector is a time sequence or function of the pressure signal; the feature value and / or feature data can also be the frequency and / or period of the pressure signal fluctuation; by acquiring the difference between the frequency and / or period of the signal and the preset value, the state of the fault can be analyzed.

[0034] In terms of system configuration, if the difference and the preset threshold value meet the preset magnitude relationship, the relevant switch value is set or the comparison signal or warning is sent to the relevant system.

[0035] Similarly, the device of the method is suitable for the use scene of multiple sensors, and accordingly, multiple sensors need to be set, and the acquisition of relevant signals is also periodic as in the method of the application.

[0036] Further, by acquiring different feature values and / or feature data, and comparing the relationship and / or correlation between different feature values and / or feature data and the preset threshold value, different diagnostic targets can be diagnosed or monitored simultaneously, so that the applicability of the system is further improved.

[0037] The application also improves the efficiency of fault diagnosis by introducing the acquisition of feature values and / or feature data, and corresponding filtering and / or digital filtering can be carried out according to different fault signal characteristics to improve the feature extraction efficiency and the effectiveness of the signal. For low-load desorption pipeline or carbon tank valve faults, Kalman filtering is a recommended method.

[0038] For the desorption flow detection of a vehicle, the method is suitable for the following various layout modes of pressure sensors: oil tank pressure sensor, carbon tank upstream sensor, manifold pressure sensor, Venturi tube upstream pressure sensor, etc. or similar sensors.

[0039] Therefore, the test process or system using the method or device of the application can be suitable for different topological structures, so that the system layout is flexible and convenient, has strong maintainability, and is easy to upgrade and modify.

[0040] Further, by using the method or device disclosed in the present application on the computer storage medium and the special desorption diagnosis module or vehicle, effective fault diagnosis and analysis of the related system can be obtained.

[0041] Since the non-insertion detection process is adopted, the carbon tank flushing process does not need to be interrupted, and interference to the control system is avoided; the test process does not need to set complex enable conditions, and thus the diagnosis efficiency and robustness are improved.
