Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of urea detection technology, specifically to a method, apparatus, equipment, and medium for detecting basic parameters of urea solution. Background Technology

[0002] To prevent pollution from diesel engines used in non-road mobile machinery and improve ambient air quality, the current requirement is that the exhaust emissions from diesel engines used in non-road mobile machinery (such as explosion-proof diesel engines) must meet the "Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Diesel Engines Used in Non-road Mobile Machinery (China Stage III)". The emission standards do not have high requirements for nitrogen oxide emissions, but with the further development of the coal industry, the emission standards for exhaust pollutants from diesel engines used in non-road mobile machinery will be further improved.

[0003] Taking explosion-proof diesel engines as an example, particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main pollutants in their exhaust. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is the mainstream method for eliminating NOx. Urea solution, used in automotive applications, acts as a catalyst in SCR, primarily reducing NOx to harmless nitrogen and water, thereby improving the quality of emissions from explosion-proof diesel engines. If explosion-proof diesel engines do not use urea solution or if the concentration of the urea solution used is not up to standard, it will damage the catalytic converter used in the SCR, causing abnormal engine operation and further environmental pollution. This is especially problematic in coal mines, where such issues would place a significant burden on mine safety. Furthermore, if parameters such as urea solution temperature and level meet technical requirements, emission quality can also be improved. Therefore, the detection of basic parameters of automotive urea solution is crucial for improving the quality of exhaust pollutants from diesel engines used in non-road mobile machinery. However, current methods for detecting basic parameters of urea solutions suffer from drawbacks such as cumbersome operation, low detection efficiency, and low detection stability.

[0036] Based on the multiple original feature values, the target feature value is determined using an extreme value algorithm;

[0037] Based on the target characteristic value, the refractive index of the urea solution is determined using the law of refraction and a temperature compensation algorithm.

[0038] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by filtering the acquired data, erroneous information caused by accidental interference can be effectively eliminated, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0039] Furthermore, determining the refractive index of the urea solution using the law of refraction and a temperature compensation algorithm includes:

[0066] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the device for detecting the basic parameters of urea solution in this invention;

[0067] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the electronic device in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0068] The principles and features of the present invention are described below. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0069] Example 1

[0070] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a method for detecting the basic parameters of urea solution, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0071] Step S1: Obtain the basic parameters of the urea solution, including at least one of the following: urea solution concentration, urea solution temperature, and urea solution level.

[0072] Step S2: Determine whether the urea solution is qualified based on the preset parameter threshold and the basic parameters.

[0073] There are two main types of methods commonly used for detecting the concentration of urea solution. One type uses chemical methods, such as combustion nitrogen determination, colorimetry, and titration. However, chemical methods cannot be used for online measurement in vehicles, and they require high-quality instruments, are cumbersome to operate, and have long detection times. The other type uses sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors. However, ultrasonic sensors have problems with large detection errors, low accuracy, and low stability.

[0074] In this embodiment, if the basic parameters include the urea solution concentration, step S1, obtaining the basic parameters of the urea solution, includes:

[0075] The basic parameters of the urea solution are obtained through a data processing unit and a photoelectric processing unit. The photoelectric processing unit includes a light source, a prism, a charge-coupled device (CCD), a light source driving circuit, and a CCD driving circuit. Both the light source driving circuit and the CCD driving circuit are electrically connected to the data processing unit.

[0076] The acquisition of basic parameters of the urea solution through the data processing unit and the photoelectric processing unit specifically includes:

[0077] The light source driving circuit is used to receive instructions sent by the data processing unit and drive the light source to emit incident light signals.

[0078] The prism is used to direct the incident light signal onto the urea solution;

[0079] The charge-coupled device is used to receive the refracted light signal obtained by the refraction of the incident light signal in the urea solution, and to convert the refracted light signal into an electrical signal.

[0080] The CCD driving circuit is used to send the electrical signal to the data processing unit;

[0081] The data processing unit is used to determine the refractive index of the urea solution based on the electrical signal, and to determine the concentration of the urea solution based on the refractive index.

[0082] It should be noted that urea solutions of different concentrations have different refractive indices, and for urea solutions of different concentrations, the electrical signal obtained by the charge-coupled device based on the refracted light signal is different.

[0083] The charge-coupled device includes multiple positions for mapping electrical signals, and the electrical signals include sub-signals corresponding to each of the positions. The data processing unit determines the refractive index of the urea solution based on the electrical signals, specifically including:

[0084] Each of the sub-electrical signals is subjected to data filtering to obtain multiple original feature values. For each original feature value, the original feature value represents the position of the corresponding sub-electrical signal mapped on the charge-coupled device. The methods for data filtering of the electrical signals include median filtering, mean filtering, and Gaussian filtering algorithms. By performing data filtering on the electrical signals, noise in the signals is removed, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent calculation of the refractive index of the urea solution.

[0085] Based on multiple original feature values, a target feature value is determined using an extreme value algorithm; wherein, among the multiple original feature values, there is a mode, and determining the target feature value using the extreme value algorithm means determining the mode as the target feature value;

[0086] Based on the target characteristic value, the refractive index of the urea solution is determined using the law of refraction and a temperature compensation algorithm.

[0087] As the temperature of the urea solution changes, the relationship between the concentration and refractive index of the urea solution also changes. Therefore, when determining the refractive index of the urea solution, a temperature compensation algorithm is required to accurately determine the concentration of the urea solution.

[0088] Specifically, determining the refractive index of the urea solution using the law of refraction and a temperature compensation algorithm includes:

[0089] Based on the target characteristic value, the original refractive index of the urea solution is determined using the law of refraction;

[0090] Based on the original refractive index, the refractive index of the urea solution is determined according to the first formula, which is:

[0091] Ref(T1) = Ref(T2) + (T2 - T1)k

[0092] In the above formula, T1 represents the current temperature of the urea solution; Ref(T1) represents the refractive index of the urea solution; T2 represents the reference temperature; Ref(T2) represents the refractive index of the urea solution at the reference temperature, i.e., the original refractive index of the urea solution; k represents the temperature compensation coefficient; wherein, the temperature compensation coefficient can be set according to human experience, and the refractive index of the urea solution at the reference temperature can be obtained by looking up a table.

[0093] Specifically, determining the urea solution concentration based on the refractive index includes:

[0094] The concentration of the urea solution is determined by looking up a table based on the refractive index.

[0095] For example, the relationship between the concentration and refractive index of a certain urea solution at 20℃ is shown in Table 1.
