Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of engine technology, and more specifically, to a method and system for diagnosing exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leaks, a storage medium, and an engine. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the stringent requirements of diesel engine emission regulations, existing diesel engines primarily employ a technology route of DOC plus DPF plus SCR. The stringent requirements for emissions and OBD place high demands on the conversion efficiency and durability of the aftertreatment system. Since the aftertreatment system consists of multiple modules and components, it carries the risk of leakage in practical use. If a leak occurs in the exhaust pipe or aftertreatment system, the conversion efficiency will decrease, DPF regeneration will easily fail, SCR will easily crystallize, and leaks can also easily burn out the aftertreatment wiring harness sensors. Therefore, exhaust system leaks can lead to serious consequences such as aftertreatment failure and OBD alarms. Thus, it is essential to develop real-time exhaust system leak diagnostic technology to promptly guide drivers and service personnel in identifying leaks, protecting the aftertreatment system, and avoiding serious consequences.

[0003] Currently, common practices include installing additional sensors on the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment system to diagnose leaks by detecting the temperature and gas composition of the aftertreatment surface. While this method can diagnose leaks, it requires additional sensors, increasing hardware costs. Another approach uses DPF differential pressure sensor readings to calculate the actual exhaust back pressure and compares it to the theoretical exhaust back pressure. If the difference is significant, a leak is identified in the exhaust pipe or aftertreatment system. This method has two problems: first, it cannot accurately pinpoint the leak location within the aftertreatment system; second, the theoretical exhaust back pressure is influenced by many factors, and many patents do not consider these influences, leading to inaccurate diagnoses. Another approach relies on service methods to check for exhaust leaks, such as spraying soapy water or creating SCR efficiency curves. These methods cannot provide real-time automatic diagnosis and require manual inspection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application aims to solve or improve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] Therefore, the primary objective of this application is to provide a method for diagnosing leaks in exhaust pipes and aftertreatment systems.

[0006] The second objective of this application is to provide a leak diagnosis system for exhaust pipes and aftertreatment systems.

[0007] The third objective of this application is to provide a leak diagnosis system for exhaust pipes and aftertreatment systems.

[0008] The fourth objective of this application is to provide a readable storage medium.

[0009] The fifth objective of this application is to provide an engine.

[0010] To achieve the first objective of this application, the technical solution of the first aspect of this application provides a method for diagnosing exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage, comprising: acquiring real-time engine status data; entering an aftertreatment leakage check based on the real-time engine status data and engine setting data; acquiring DPF inlet pressure readings, DPF outlet pressure readings, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation; calculating DPF inlet pressure calibration values ​​and DPF outlet pressure calibration values ​​based on the real-time engine status data, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation; and obtaining a diagnostic result based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration values, DPF inlet pressure readings, DPF outlet pressure calibration values, and DPF outlet pressure readings.

[0011] According to the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis method provided in this application, the real-time engine status data is first acquired. Based on the comparison between the real-time engine status data and the engine setting data, the aftertreatment leakage check is initiated. After entering the aftertreatment leakage check, the DPF inlet pressure reading, DPF outlet pressure reading, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation are acquired. The DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are retrieved based on the exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation in the engine real-time status data. This method conforms to physical laws and is easy to perform functional calibration and verification in actual calibration experiments. Finally, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading. The diagnostic result is more accurate and can be automatically diagnosed in real time without relying on manual inspection. Furthermore, the theoretical pressure value calculation of the exhaust pipe considers DPF carbon load and ash content factors, making the consideration of factors more comprehensive.

[0012] Specifically, exhaust system leaks are diagnosed based on the calculated deviations in DPF inlet and outlet pressure readings. These deviations are calculated using both actual and theoretical values. The actual DPF inlet and outlet pressures are derived from the readings of the DPF inlet and outlet pressure sensors. The theoretical DPF inlet and outlet pressures are derived from a pre-defined logic algorithm. This algorithm comprehensively considers key factors such as exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.

[0013] In addition, the technical solution provided in this application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0014] In the above technical solution, the real-time engine status data includes: engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF differential pressure reading, and time since the last regeneration.

[0015] In this technical solution, the engine real-time status data includes speed, torque, exhaust flow, exhaust temperature, DPF differential pressure reading and time since the last regeneration. By reading the engine real-time status data, the engine real-time status data is compared with the engine set data, and the aftertreatment leak inspection is initiated based on the comparison result.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the aftertreatment leak check is performed based on the engine's real-time status data and engine setting data. Specifically, this includes: determining whether the engine speed is greater than the set speed, whether the torque is greater than the set torque, whether the exhaust flow rate is greater than the set exhaust flow rate, whether the exhaust temperature is greater than the set exhaust temperature, whether the DPF differential pressure reading is within the preset differential pressure range, and whether the time since the last regeneration is less than the set time. If so, the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leak diagnosis is performed.

[0017] In this technical solution, the conditions for initiating aftertreatment leak checks are: engine speed greater than a set speed, torque greater than a set torque, exhaust flow rate greater than a set exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature greater than a set exhaust temperature, DPF differential pressure reading within a preset differential pressure range, and the time since the last regeneration less than a set time. If the above conditions are met, the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leak check function is activated. The diagnostic function is activated when the exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, and time since the last regeneration meet predetermined conditions, making the diagnostic conditions easy to meet.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are calculated based on the engine real-time status data, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation. Specifically, this includes: calculating the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value based on engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, and exhaust temperature; and correcting the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value based on the DPF carbon load and DPF ash accumulation to obtain the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value.

[0019] In this technical solution, the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are calculated based on real-time engine status data, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation. Specifically, the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value are first calculated based on engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, and exhaust temperature. Then, the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value are corrected based on the DPF carbon load and DPF ash accumulation to obtain the final DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value. Looking up the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value based on engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation conforms to physical laws and facilitates functional calibration and verification in actual calibration experiments, taking into account more comprehensive factors.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the diagnostic result is obtained based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. Specifically, this includes: determining the DPF inlet pressure reading value deviation based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and the DPF inlet pressure reading value; determining whether the DPF inlet pressure reading value deviation is greater than the first set value; if so, the diagnostic result is leakage in the upstream exhaust pipe of the DPF.

[0021] In this technical solution, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. Specifically, the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation is first determined based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and the DPF inlet pressure reading value. The exhaust system leakage is diagnosed through this DPF inlet pressure reading deviation. If the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation is greater than a first set value, a leak in the exhaust pipe upstream of the DPF is diagnosed.

[0022] The above technical solution, which derives diagnostic results based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value, also includes: determining the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation based on the DPF outlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure reading value; determining whether the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation is greater than a second set value; if so, the diagnostic result is leakage from the DPF to the SCR section.

[0023] In this technical solution, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. It also includes determining the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation based on the DPF outlet pressure calibration value and the DPF outlet pressure reading value. If the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation is greater than a second set value, a leak is diagnosed in the DPF to SCR section.

[0024] The above technical solution also includes a method for diagnosing exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leaks: providing alerts based on the diagnostic results.

[0025] In this technical solution, the method for diagnosing exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leaks also includes providing alerts based on the diagnostic results. Specifically, based on the diagnostic results, drivers and service personnel are alerted to promptly check for leaks in the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment system, thereby guiding them to identify leak points, protect the aftertreatment system, and avoid serious consequences.

[0027] The exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnostic system provided in this application includes a first acquisition module, a determination module, a second acquisition module, a calibration value calculation module, and a diagnostic module. The first acquisition module acquires real-time engine status data. The determination module initiates aftertreatment leakage checks based on the real-time engine status data and engine setting data. The second acquisition module acquires DPF inlet pressure readings, DPF outlet pressure readings, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.

However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 This application describes exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis methods and systems, storage media, and engines according to some embodiments.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a method for diagnosing leaks in an exhaust pipe and aftertreatment system, comprising the following steps:

[0050] Step S102: Obtain real-time engine status data;

[0051] Step S104: Proceed to aftertreatment leak check based on real-time engine status data and engine setting data;

[0052] Step S106: Obtain the DPF inlet pressure reading, DPF outlet pressure reading, DPF carbon loading, and DPF ash accumulation.

[0053] Step S108: Calculate the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value based on the engine real-time status data, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.

[0054] Step S110: Calculate the diagnostic results based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value.

[0055] According to the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis method provided in this embodiment, the real-time engine status data is first acquired. Based on the comparison between the real-time engine status data and the engine setting data, the aftertreatment leakage check is initiated. After entering the aftertreatment leakage check, the DPF inlet pressure reading, DPF outlet pressure reading, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation are acquired. The DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are queried based on the exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation in the engine real-time status data. This not only conforms to physical laws but also facilitates functional calibration and verification in actual calibration experiments. Finally, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading. The diagnostic result is more accurate and can be automatically diagnosed in real time without relying on manual inspection. Furthermore, the theoretical pressure value calculation of the exhaust pipe considers DPF carbon load and ash content factors, making the consideration of factors more comprehensive.

[0056] Specifically, exhaust system leaks are diagnosed based on the calculated deviations in DPF inlet and outlet pressure readings. These deviations are calculated using both actual and theoretical values. The actual DPF inlet and outlet pressures are derived from the readings of the DPF inlet and outlet pressure sensors. The theoretical DPF inlet and outlet pressures are derived from a pre-defined logic algorithm. This algorithm comprehensively considers key factors such as exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.

[0057] DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, also known as a diesel particulate trap.

[0058] In the above embodiments, the engine real-time status data includes engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF differential pressure reading and time since last regeneration. By reading the engine real-time status data, the engine real-time status data is compared with the engine set data, and the aftertreatment leak check is initiated based on the comparison result.

[0061] Step S204: If yes, proceed to exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leak diagnosis.

[0062] In this embodiment, the conditions for initiating the aftertreatment leak check are: rotational speed greater than a set rotational speed, torque greater than a set torque, exhaust flow rate greater than a set exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature greater than a set exhaust temperature, DPF differential pressure reading within a preset differential pressure range, and the time since the last regeneration less than a set time. If the above conditions are met, the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leak check function is activated. The conditions for activating the diagnostic function are that the exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, and time since the last regeneration meet predetermined conditions, making the diagnostic conditions easy to meet.

The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S302: Calculate the initial inlet pressure calibration value and the initial outlet pressure calibration value based on the rotational speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, and exhaust temperature;

[0065] Step S304: Correct the initial inlet pressure calibration value and the initial outlet pressure calibration value according to the DPF carbon loading and DPF ash accumulation value to obtain the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and the DPF outlet pressure calibration value.

[0066] In this embodiment, the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are calculated based on real-time engine status data, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation. Specifically, the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value are first calculated based on engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, and exhaust temperature. Then, the initial inlet pressure calibration value and initial outlet pressure calibration value are corrected based on the DPF carbon load and DPF ash accumulation to obtain the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value. Querying the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value based on engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation conforms to physical laws and facilitates functional calibration and verification in actual calibration experiments, taking into account more comprehensive factors.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis method proposed in this application, the diagnosis result is obtained based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. Specifically, the method includes the following steps:

[0068] Step S402: Calculate the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and the DPF inlet pressure reading;

[0069] Step S404: Determine whether the deviation of the DPF inlet pressure reading is greater than the first set value. If yes, proceed to step S406; otherwise, return to step S402.

[0070] Step S406: The diagnosis result is a leak in the exhaust pipe upstream of the DPF.

[0071] In this embodiment, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. Specifically, the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation is first determined based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value and the DPF inlet pressure reading value. The exhaust system leakage is diagnosed using the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation. If the DPF inlet pressure reading deviation is greater than a first set value, a leak in the exhaust pipe upstream of the DPF is diagnosed.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis method according to an embodiment of this application derives the diagnosis result based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value, and further includes the following steps:

[0074] Step S504: Determine whether the deviation of the DPF outlet pressure reading is greater than the second set value. If yes, proceed to step S506; otherwise, return to step S502.

[0075] Step S506: The diagnosis result is a leak in the DPF to SCR section.

[0076] In this embodiment, the diagnostic result is derived based on the DPF inlet pressure calibration value, DPF inlet pressure reading value, DPF outlet pressure calibration value, and DPF outlet pressure reading value. It also includes determining the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation based on the DPF outlet pressure calibration value and the DPF outlet pressure reading value. If the DPF outlet pressure reading deviation is greater than a second set value, a leak is diagnosed in the DPF to SCR section.

[0079] Step S602: Provide prompts based on the diagnostic results.

[0080] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leak diagnosis method also includes providing prompts based on the diagnosis results. Specifically, based on the diagnosis results, the method prompts the driver and service personnel to promptly check for leaks in the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment, thereby guiding the driver and service personnel to identify the leak point, protect the aftertreatment, and avoid serious consequences.

[0087] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment leakage diagnosis method provided in this application, leakage in the exhaust system is diagnosed based on the calculated deviations of the DPF inlet pressure reading and the DPF outlet pressure reading. The deviations are calculated using actual and theoretical values. The actual DPF inlet and outlet pressure values ​​are derived from the readings of the DPF inlet and outlet pressure sensors; the theoretical DPF inlet and outlet pressure values ​​are derived from a predefined logic algorithm. This logic algorithm comprehensively considers key factors such as exhaust flow rate, exhaust temperature, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.

[0088] Specifically, we first read the engine speed, torque, exhaust flow, exhaust temperature sensor reading, DPF inlet pressure sensor reading, DPF outlet pressure sensor reading, DPF differential pressure reading, and the time since the last regeneration.

[0089] Once the following conditions are met, proceed with the post-treatment leak inspection:

[0090] Speed ​​> Set speed; Torque > Set torque; Exhaust flow rate > Set exhaust flow rate; Exhaust temperature > Set exhaust flow rate; DPF differential pressure sensor is normal; Time since last regeneration < Set time;

[0091] When the DPF inlet pressure calibration value - DPF inlet pressure reading value > set value 1, a leak is diagnosed in the upstream exhaust pipe of the DPF.

[0092] When the DPF outlet pressure calibration value minus the DPF outlet pressure reading is greater than the set value by 2, a leak is diagnosed in the DPF to SCR section.

[0093] The DPF inlet pressure calibration value and DPF outlet pressure calibration value are values ​​that are pre-calibrated based on parameters such as engine speed, torque, exhaust flow rate, and exhaust temperature, and are also a value obtained by correcting for DPF carbon load and ash content.

[0094] Based on the diagnostic results, drivers and service personnel are advised to promptly check for leaks in the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment system.

[0095] In summary, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0096] 1. Diagnose leaks in the exhaust pipe and aftertreatment system by comparing the actual and theoretical values ​​of the DPF inlet and outlet pressures.

[0097] 2. The theoretical values ​​of DPF inlet pressure and DPF outlet pressure are given based on exhaust temperature, exhaust flow rate, DPF carbon load, and DPF ash accumulation.
