[0039] Specifically, the exhaust gas is generated by the combustion of fuel in the cylinder, and the main components are Soot carbon particles, NOx, moisture, N2, PN particles, CH particles, etc.

[0040] In the above solution, by installing an NH3 sensor on the pipeline between the first SCR and the second SCR, then determining the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR according to the NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor and the NH3 mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR, and then calculating the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR according to the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR, and finally determining that there is NH3 leakage downstream of the second SCR when the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR is greater than the maximum ammonia storage capacity of the second SCR.

[0041] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the above method further includes: obtaining the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR; determining the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR. The accurate determination of the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR is realized.

[0043] Optionally, the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR is calculated by using a first SCR kinetic model for the NOx mass flow rate upstream of the first SCR obtained by a gas concentration sensor installed upstream of the first SCR.

[0044] Optionally, the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR is directly obtained by using a gas concentration sensor installed downstream of the first SCR.

[0045] Specifically, the specific implementation manner of determining the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR is: calculating the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to a second SCR kinetic model constituted by the Arrhenius formula.

[0046] In one embodiment of the present application, after determining the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR, the above method further includes: determining the ammonia leakage amount according to the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR, the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR, and the NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor.

[0047] Specifically, the specific determination manner of determining the ammonia leakage amount according to the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR, the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR, and the NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor is: NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor - mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR - ammonia storage model value of the second SCR = ammonia leakage amount.

[0048] In one embodiment of the application, determining the NH3 mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR according to the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the first SCR includes: constructing a first SCR kinetic model; determining the NH3 mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR according to the first SCR kinetic model, wherein the input signal of the first SCR kinetic model includes the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the first SCR, and the output signal of the first SCR kinetic model includes the NH3 mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR.

[0049] Specifically, the first SCR kinetic model is constructed based on the Arrhenius formula: k = Ae -Ea / RT It describes the relationship between the rate constant (k), temperature (T), and reaction activation energy Ea. A is a pre-exponential factor, R is the molar gas constant, and e is the base of the natural logarithm. More specifically, the temperature, reaction activation energy, and pre-exponential factor are made into a MAP, and then the reaction rate can be obtained by the ECU looking up the table.

[0050] Exemplarily, when constructing the first SCR kinetic model and the second SCR kinetic model, some or all of the following chemical reaction principles are considered:

[0051] NH3 adsorption, NH3 + Surf → NH 3surf ;

[0052] NH3 desorption, NH 3surf → NH3 + Surf;

[0053] Standard SCR, 4NH 3surf + 4NO + O2 → 4N2 + 6H2O;

[0054] Faster SCR, 4NH 3surf + 2NO + 2NO2 → 4N2 + 6H2O;

[0055] Slower SCR, 8NH 3surf + 6NO2 → 7N2 + 12H2O;

[0056] NH3 oxidation to form N2 (SCR), 4NH 3surf + 3O2 → 2N2 + 6H2O;

[0057] NO oxidation, NO + 1 / 2O2 → NO2;

[0058] NH3 oxidation to form N2, 4NH 3surf + 3O2 → 2N2 + 6H2O;

[0059] NH3 oxidation to form NO, 4NH 3surf + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O;

[0060] NH3 oxidation to form N2O, 2NH 3surf + 2O2 → N2O + 3H2O;

[0061] NO2 formation of N2O, 2NH 3surf + 2NO2 → 2N2O + N2 + 3H2O;

[0062] NO formation of N2O, 2NH 3surf + 2NO + O2 → 2N2O + N2 + 3H2O;

[0063] The oxidation of NH3 forms N2O, 2NH3 + 2O2 → N2O + 3H2O;

[0064] The oxidation of NH3 forms N2, 4NH3 + 3O2 → 2N2 + 6H2O;

[0065] The oxidation of NH3 forms NO, 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O.

[0066] More specifically, the chemical reaction principles considered by the first SCR kinetic model and the second SCR kinetic model are the same. Taking "NH3 adsorption" in the first SCR kinetic model as an example; the mass flow rate of NH3 injected into the first SCR can be known through the urea injection system. Then, according to the definition of chemical reaction rate, the generation rate of NH 3surf is r = k·dC(NH 3surf ;) / dt, where C(NH 3surf ;) represents the mass flow rate of NH3 adsorption, k represents the rate constant, and according to the Arrhenius formula k = Ae -Ea / RT , if factors such as temperature, catalyst, and activation energy that affect the rate constant k are calibrated on the test bench in the form of a MAP first, then the mass flow rate of NH3 adsorbed in the first SCR can be obtained. By analogy, the reaction rates of other reactants and products can be obtained, and thus the engineered first SCR kinetic model can be obtained.

[0067] In an embodiment of the present application, according to the mass flow rate of NH3 downstream of the first SCR and the mass flow rate of NH3 detected by the NH3 sensor, the mass flow rate of NH3 upstream of the second SCR is determined, including: constructing an adaptive control model; determining the mass flow rate of NH3 upstream of the second SCR according to the adaptive control model, where the input signal of the adaptive control model includes the output signal of the first SCR kinetic model and the mass flow rate of NH3 detected by the NH3 sensor, and the output signal of the adaptive control model includes the mass flow rate of NH3 upstream of the second SCR. That is, the mass flow rate of NH3 downstream of the first SCR and the mass flow rate of NH3 detected by the NH3 sensor are calculated by using a pre-constructed adaptive control model to obtain the mass flow rate of NH3 upstream of the second SCR. The self-adjusting mechanism of the adaptive model is used to accurately determine the mass flow rate of NH3 upstream of the second SCR.

[0068] More specifically, an information fusion scheme based on the "Kalman filter" can be adopted to construct an adaptive control model. The basic idea is to find a weight factor to construct a confidence function between the first SCR downstream NH3 mass flow output by the first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor, so as to obtain a more reliable NH3 mass flow value, that is, to obtain the accurate "NH3 mass flow upstream of the second SCR" input into the second SCR dynamic model. This solution does not limit the specific structure of the adaptive control model. Those skilled in the art can make selections according to the actual situation without departing from the purpose of this application.

[0069] In an embodiment of this application, the above method further includes: using the above adaptive control model to calculate the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR output by the first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor to obtain a correction coefficient; using the above correction coefficient to correct the first SCR dynamic model to obtain a corrected first SCR dynamic model, and the difference between the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR output by the corrected first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor is within a preset difference range. That is, a correction coefficient is obtained based on the calculated NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR detected by the sensor to correct the first SCR dynamic model, so that the difference between the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR output by the first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor is small and almost equal.

[0070] Specifically, a correction coefficient is obtained through feedback control based on the difference between the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR output by the first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor, and the relevant parameters in the first SCR dynamic model are corrected using the correction coefficient. Here, the feedback control selects adaptive control mainly to obtain a more accurate NH3 mass flow through information fusion of the NH3 mass flow downstream of the first SCR output by the first SCR dynamic model and the NH3 mass flow detected by the NH3 sensor under the current engine working condition, and accordingly correct the first SCR dynamic model to make the difference between the output value of the first SCR dynamic model and the value obtained through adaptive control smaller.

[0071] Among them, the relevant parameters include the pre-exponential factor and reaction activation energy of each chemical reaction. The relevant parameters are calibrated in advance and corrected according to the engine working condition during subsequent vehicle operation to approximate the real chemical reaction.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, determining the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR according to the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR as described above includes: constructing a second SCR kinetic model; determining the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR according to the second SCR kinetic model, the input signal of the second SCR kinetic model includes the output signal of the adaptive control model, and the output signal of the second SCR kinetic model includes the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR.

[0073] Specifically, the second SCR kinetic model is constructed according to the Arrhenius equation: k = Ae -Ea / RT It describes the relationship between the rate constant (k), temperature (T), and reaction activation energy Ea. A is a pre-exponential factor, R is the molar gas constant, and e is the base of the natural logarithm.

[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR are input into the second SCR kinetic model, and the output is the mass of NH3 oxidized.

[0075] The embodiment of the present application also provides an ammonia leakage detection device. It should be noted that the ammonia leakage detection device of the embodiment of the present application can be used to execute the ammonia leakage detection method provided by the embodiment of the present application. The ammonia leakage detection device provided by the embodiment of the present application is introduced below.

The acquisition unit is configured to acquire the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR. The fourth determination unit is configured to determine the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR.

[0084] Specifically, the specific implementation manner of determining the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to the NOx mass flow rate downstream of the first SCR and the NH3 mass flow rate upstream of the second SCR is: calculating the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR according to a second SCR kinetic model constituted by the Arrhenius formula.

[0086] Specifically, the specific determination method for determining the ammonia leakage amount based on the mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR, the ammonia storage model value of the second SCR, and the NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor is: NH3 mass flow rate detected by the NH3 sensor - mass of NH3 oxidized in the second SCR - ammonia storage model value of the second SCR = ammonia leakage amount.
