[0002] To control nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, current diesel engines require an SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) device.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described here. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] It should be understood that when an element (such as a layer, film, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, the element may be directly on the other element or intervening elements may be present. Moreover, in the specification and claims, when it is described that an element is "connected to" another element, the element may be "directly connected to" the other element or "connected to" the other element through a third element.

[0035] As mentioned in the background technology, the prior art cannot accurately determine the temperature of the SCR, and thus cannot accurately control the urea injection amount. In order to solve the above problem, in one embodiment of the present application, a control method, a control device and a urea injection system are provided.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present application, a control method for a urea injection system is provided. The urea injection system includes a urea nozzle and a selective catalytic reduction device. The urea nozzle is located upstream of the selective catalytic reduction device.

[0037] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a control method of a urea injection system according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S101, obtaining a first parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device, wherein the parameters in the first parameter set are parameters related to a first temperature inside the selective catalytic reduction device;

[0039] Step S102, constructing a first relational expression based on the first parameter set, and determining the first temperature based on the first relational expression, wherein the first relational expression is a relational expression between the first temperature and the first parameter set;

[0040] Step S103, obtaining a second parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device, wherein the parameters in the second parameter set are parameters related to a second temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device;

[0041] Step S104, constructing a second relational expression based on the second parameter set, and determining the second temperature based on the second relational expression, wherein the second relational expression is a relational expression between the second temperature and the second parameter set;

[0042] In step S105 , a urea injection amount is determined according to the first temperature and the second temperature, and the urea nozzle is controlled to inject urea based on the urea injection amount.

[0043] In the above method, a first parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device is first acquired. A first relationship is then constructed based on the first parameter set. A first temperature is determined based on the first relationship. A second parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device is then acquired. A second relationship is then constructed based on the second parameter set. A second temperature is determined based on the second relationship. Finally, a urea injection amount is determined based on the first and second temperatures, and urea injection from the urea nozzle is controlled based on the urea injection amount. In this solution, the constructed first relationship allows for accurate calculation of the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device, while the constructed second relationship allows for accurate calculation of the second temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device. These methods are more accurate than those calculated using sensor measurements, thereby enabling precise control of the urea injection amount.

[0044] It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowcharts of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and that, although a logical order is shown in the flowcharts, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, the first parameter set includes at least one of the following: a first temperature difference, a second temperature difference, a third temperature difference, and a fourth temperature difference. The first temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature before and after the chemical reaction occurs within the selective catalytic reduction device. The second temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature upstream and downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device. The third temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature of the inner wall of the selective catalytic reduction device before and after heat transfer. The fourth temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature of the gas within the selective catalytic reduction device after and before convective heat transfer. Of course, the first parameter set is not limited to the aforementioned parameters. For the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device, the parameters that are related to the first temperature and affect the accuracy of the first temperature are generally the aforementioned parameters. For different types of selective catalytic reduction devices, any other feasible parameters (which may have a minor but significant impact on the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device) may also be selected.

[0046] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the first temperature according to the first relationship includes: using the first relationship: T cell =T reac +T ga-s cell +T wall -T e Determine the first temperature, where T cell represents the first temperature, T reac represents the first temperature difference, T gas-cell Represents the second temperature difference, T wall represents the third temperature difference, T env represents the fourth temperature difference. In this embodiment, the first temperature can be calculated more accurately by the first relational expression, and the urea injection amount can be calculated more accurately subsequently. The above specific relational expression is only exemplary, and any variation should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] Specifically, viewed from a cross-section or longitudinal section, the SCR device consists of numerous reaction chambers. The SCR device resembles a mesh structure, with each small section serving as a reaction chamber. The device is divided into five sections, each with a uniform gas density. The temperature of each reaction chamber is the first temperature. As gas enters the SCR device, it provides heat within the device, causing the first temperature within the device to change. While conventional sensors cannot measure the first temperature, this solution allows for accurate detection of the first temperature.

[0048] In practice, after exhaust gas enters the SCR device, a chemical reaction occurs inside the device, releasing heat and raising its temperature. For example, a chemical reaction releases 300 joules, raising the internal temperature of the SCR device from 20°C to 25°C. This chemical reaction affects the temperature of the solids inside the SCR device. A molar reaction occurs within the SCR device, and the heat release is calculated according to the reaction formula. For example, if the gas volume is 50ml and the amount of urea injected is 30mol / L, the calculated molar reaction data is 2mol. The total heat release corresponding to 2mol can be determined as 5°C using a lookup table.

[0049] To more accurately determine the second temperature difference and thus the first temperature, in another embodiment of the present application, obtaining the first parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device includes: obtaining an exhaust heat capacity of the urea nozzle, an exhaust mass of the urea nozzle, a temperature upstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, a temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, a volume of a catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, a heat capacity of the catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, a density of the catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, and a reaction time within the selective catalytic reduction device; constructing a sub-relationship based on the exhaust heat capacity of the urea nozzle, the exhaust mass of the urea nozzle, the temperature upstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, the temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, the volume of the catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, the heat capacity of the catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, the density of the catalyst within the selective catalytic reduction device, and the reaction time within the selective catalytic reduction device; and determining the second temperature difference using the sub-relationship.

[0050] In order to further accurately determine the second temperature difference, in another embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned determination of the second temperature difference by using the above-mentioned sub-relationship includes: using the sub-relationship: Determine the second temperature difference, where T gas-cell Represents the second temperature difference, C exh Indicates the exhaust heat capacity of the above urea nozzle, M exh Indicates the exhaust quality of the above urea nozzle, T gas,us represents the temperature upstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, T gas,ds represents the temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, V cell represents the volume of the catalyst inside the selective catalytic reduction device, C cell represents the heat capacity of the catalyst inside the selective catalytic reduction device, ρ cell The above specific relationship is only exemplary, and any variation thereof shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the urea injection system further includes a temperature sensor located upstream of the urea nozzle. The second parameter set includes at least one of the following: a third temperature, an exhaust temperature change, a fifth temperature difference, and a sixth temperature difference. The third temperature is the temperature upstream of the urea nozzle detected by the temperature sensor. The exhaust temperature change refers to the change in the first temperature relative to the third temperature. The fifth temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature upstream and downstream of the urea nozzle. The sixth temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature before and after urea is pyrolyzed by the selective catalytic reduction device. Of course, the second parameter set is not limited to the aforementioned parameters. For the second temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device, the parameters that are related to the second temperature and affect the accuracy of the second temperature are generally the aforementioned parameters. For different types of selective catalytic reduction devices, any other feasible parameters may also be selected (and may also have a minor but significant impact on the second temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device).

[0052] In order to more accurately calculate the second temperature and subsequently calculate the urea injection amount more accurately, in another embodiment of the present application, determining the second temperature according to the second relationship includes: using the second relationship: T gas,ds =T gas,us -HT cell -T dos -T tran Determine the second temperature, where T gas,ds represents the second temperature, T gas,us Indicates the third temperature mentioned above, HT cell represents the above exhaust temperature change, T dos represents the fifth temperature difference, T tran The above specific relationship is only exemplary, and any variation should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of the present application, obtaining the second parameter set of the selective catalytic reduction device includes: obtaining the distance between the urea nozzle and the selective catalytic reduction device, the sum of the length of the urea nozzle and the length of the selective catalytic reduction device, the duration of urea injection by the urea nozzle, the initial urea injection amount of the urea nozzle, the exhaust flow rate, and the exhaust heat capacity, wherein the exhaust flow rate refers to the exhaust flow between the urea nozzle and the selective catalytic reduction device; determining the exhaust temperature change based on at least the first temperature and the third temperature; determining the fifth temperature difference based on at least the distance, the sum of the lengths, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, and the exhaust heat capacity; and determining the sixth temperature difference based on at least the distance, the sum of the lengths, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, and the exhaust heat capacity. In this embodiment, the exhaust temperature change, the fifth temperature difference, and the sixth temperature difference are further accurately calculated based on multiple parameters, thereby enabling a more accurate calculation of the second temperature and the urea injection amount.

[0054] Specifically, in actual applications, the selective catalytic reduction device has many reaction chambers, and the distance can be the distance from the urea nozzle to the reaction chamber. There are many distances, such as the first distance, the second distance or the third distance, which are determined according to the chemical reaction. If the reaction is carried out in the first reaction chamber, then it is the first distance, if the reaction is carried out in the second reaction chamber, then it is the second distance, and if the reaction is carried out in the third reaction chamber, then it is the third distance.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the exhaust temperature change based on at least the first temperature and the third temperature includes: constructing a third relationship based on the first temperature and the third temperature; and determining the exhaust temperature change based on the third relationship. In this embodiment, constructing the third relationship allows for more accurate determination of the exhaust temperature change, thereby more accurately determining the second temperature.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned determination of the exhaust temperature change according to the above-mentioned third relationship includes: obtaining a first correction coefficient, the above-mentioned first correction coefficient is determined according to the above-mentioned length sum; according to the third relationship: HT cell =K1×(T gas,us -T cell ) Determine the above exhaust temperature change, HT cell represents the exhaust temperature change, K1 represents the first correction coefficient, T gas,us represents the third temperature, T cellIn this embodiment, the exhaust temperature change can be further accurately calculated by the third relational expression. The above specific relational expression is only exemplary, and any variation should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0057] Specifically, the first correction coefficient can also be determined according to the total length and the exhaust temperature change. Specifically, it can be accurately determined according to experiments. The first correction coefficient is determined according to the experimental results. The first correction coefficient can be initially 1-e -l , l represents the total length. The first correction coefficient means that when the term e of the total length approaches 0, the temperature upstream of the selective catalytic reduction device remains consistent with the temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device. When the term e of the total length approaches infinity, the temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device remains consistent with the downstream wall temperature. The downstream wall temperature is used to calculate the first temperature of the last reaction chamber in the selective catalytic reduction device.

[0058] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the fifth temperature difference based on at least the distance, the total length, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, and the exhaust heat capacity includes: obtaining the external ambient temperature, the heat capacity of the urea solution, and a second correction coefficient, the second correction coefficient being determined based on the degree of influence of the urea nozzle on the second temperature when injecting urea; constructing a fourth relationship based on the distance, the total length, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, the exhaust heat capacity, the external ambient temperature, the heat capacity of the urea solution, and the second correction coefficient; and determining the fifth temperature difference based on the fourth relationship. In this embodiment, constructing the fourth relationship allows for more accurate determination of the fifth temperature difference, thereby more accurately determining the second temperature.

[0059] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the fifth temperature difference according to the fourth relationship includes: according to the fourth relationship: Determine the fifth temperature difference, T dos represents the fifth temperature difference, K2 represents the second correction coefficient, T gas,us represents the third temperature, T air Indicates the above external ambient temperature, M dos represents the initial urea injection amount, C urea Indicates the heat capacity of the above urea solution, Mf exh represents the above exhaust flow rate, t represents the above duration, C exhrepresents the exhaust heat capacity, d represents the distance, and l represents the sum of the lengths. In this embodiment, the fifth temperature difference can be further accurately calculated using the fourth relationship. The above specific relationship is merely exemplary, and any variations thereof should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] Specifically, the initial value of the second correction coefficient is 1. Of course, the second correction coefficient may also be any other feasible value according to the degree of influence of the urea nozzle on the second temperature when injecting urea.

[0061] In another embodiment of the present application, determining the sixth temperature difference based on at least the distance, the total length, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, and the exhaust heat capacity includes: obtaining an endothermic value of urea solution vaporization, a first temperature difference, and a third correction coefficient, wherein the endothermic value refers to the amount of heat absorbed by a unit mass of urea solution to vaporize, and the third correction coefficient is determined based on the degree of influence of the urea nozzle on the second temperature when injecting urea; constructing a fifth relationship based on the distance, the total length, the duration, the initial urea injection amount, the exhaust flow rate, the exhaust heat capacity, the endothermic value, the first temperature difference, and the third correction coefficient; and determining the sixth temperature difference based on the fifth relationship. In this embodiment, constructing the fifth relationship allows for more accurate determination of the sixth temperature difference, thereby more accurately determining the second temperature.

A control unit 500 determines a urea injection amount based on the first and second temperatures and controls the urea injection nozzle to inject urea based on the urea injection amount. In this solution, the constructed first relationship allows for accurate calculation of the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device, and the constructed second relationship allows for accurate calculation of the second temperature downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device.

The second temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature upstream and downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device. The third temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature of the inner wall of the selective catalytic reduction device before and after heat transfer. The fourth temperature difference refers to the difference between the temperature of the gas within the selective catalytic reduction device after and before convective heat transfer. Of course, the first parameter set is not limited to the aforementioned parameters. For the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device, the parameters that are related to the first temperature and affect the accuracy of the first temperature are generally the aforementioned parameters. For different types of selective catalytic reduction devices, any other feasible parameters (which may have a minor but significant impact on the first temperature within the selective catalytic reduction device) may also be selected.

[0076] Specifically, viewed from a cross-section or longitudinal section, the SCR device consists of numerous reaction chambers. The SCR device resembles a mesh structure, with each small section serving as a reaction chamber. The device is divided into five sections, each with a uniform gas density. The temperature of each reaction chamber is the first temperature. As gas enters the SCR device, it provides heat within the device, causing the first temperature within the device to change. While conventional sensors cannot measure the first temperature, this solution allows for accurate detection of the first temperature.

[0077] In practice, after exhaust gas enters the SCR device, a chemical reaction occurs inside the device, releasing heat and raising its temperature. For example, a chemical reaction releases 300 joules, raising the internal temperature of the SCR device from 20°C to 25°C. This chemical reaction affects the temperature of the solids inside the SCR device. A molar reaction occurs within the SCR device, and the heat release is calculated according to the reaction formula. For example, if the gas volume is 50ml and the amount of urea injected is 30mol / L, the calculated molar reaction data is 2mol. The total heat release corresponding to 2mol can be determined as 5°C using a lookup table.

[0083] Specifically, in actual applications, the selective catalytic reduction device has many reaction chambers, and the distance can be the distance from the urea nozzle to the reaction chamber. There are many distances, such as the first distance, the second distance or the third distance, which are determined according to the chemical reaction. If the reaction is carried out in the first reaction chamber, then it is the first distance, if the reaction is carried out in the second reaction chamber, then it is the second distance, and if the reaction is carried out in the third reaction chamber, then it is the third distance.
