For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0042] The following will describe the diagnostic method, device, equipment and storage medium for urea nozzle clogging provided by the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application disclose a diagnostic method for urea nozzle clogging. Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the urea injection system provided by the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the urea injection system 100 includes a urea tank 101, a urea pump 102, a urea pressure pipe 103 and a urea nozzle 104; among them, the urea pump 102 is responsible for supplying urea solution to the urea nozzle 104, and the motor is responsible for driving the urea pump 102 to transport the urea solution from the urea tank 101 to the urea pressure pipe 103. A part of the urea solution is used for injection, and the other part returns to the urea tank 101 through the return hole.

[0044] The specific working process of the urea injection system is divided into three stages: pressure building, injection and reverse suction.

[0045] Pressure building: After the vehicle runs, when the exhaust gas temperature reaches 180°C, the urea injection system starts to operate to build pressure. When the pressure reaches 9 bar, the urea pump 102 stops rotating, and the urea nozzle 104 opens for a trial injection once to perform a fault diagnosis on the mechanical jamming of the urea nozzle 104; then, the pressure fluctuation range is monitored for a period of time to determine whether there is a leak in the pipeline. If there is a leak resulting in pressure building failure, the urea injection system will stop operating.

[0046] Injection: When the exhaust gas temperature is higher than a certain value, the urea nozzle 104 starts to inject urea solution, and the opening degree and opening duration of the urea nozzle 104 are controlled by the ECU according to the engine working conditions.

[0047] Reverse suction: After the engine is turned off, the steering valve of the urea injection system opens to reverse suction the residual urea solution in the pipeline to the urea tank 101 to prevent the urea from freezing and bursting the pipeline and the urea pump 102 in winter.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, Q dos is the average injection flow rate of the urea nozzle 104, Q backis the average flow rate of the urea pump return hole, Q su is the average supply flow rate of the urea pump, P p is the urea pump pressure

[0049] Q dos = Q su - Q back (1)

[0050] As shown in formula (1), the injection flow rate of the urea nozzle 104 is equal to the reduced return flow rate. When the urea pump 102 operates at a set speed N and stabilizes the pump pressure to the set pump pressure P0 and the urea nozzle 104 does not inject, the average supply flow rate Q of the urea pump 102 su is balanced with the average flow rate Q of the return hole, that is, Q back is equal to Q su and Q back is equal. The system constant C can be calculated b ; thus, it can be obtained that

[0051] Q dos = C b *(P1) ^1 / 2 - C b *((P1 + P2) / 2) ^1 / 2 (2)

[0052] In the formula, P1 is the pump pressure at the start of injection, and P2 is the pump pressure at the end of injection. The average injection flow rate of the urea nozzle 104 can be calculated based on the change in the pump pressure when the urea nozzle 104 is opened and closed

[0053] The execution subject of the diagnostic method in this embodiment can be an electronic control unit ECU. This diagnostic method mainly completes by obtaining the flow rate mean value of the average injection flow rate of the urea nozzle 104. This diagnostic method divides the flow rate mean value of the urea nozzle 104 into a flow rate reference value Q sys and a flow rate mean value Q for diagnosis act , the calculation methods of the flow rate reference value Q sys and the flow rate mean value Q for diagnosis act are the same, only different in the time sequence of acquisition. Among them, the flow rate reference value Q sys is obtained prior to all flow rate mean values Q for diagnosis act . The corresponding flow rate mean value Q for diagnosis act is compared with the flow rate reference value Q sys to determine the current blockage degree of the urea nozzle 104

[0054] Figure 2 is the flowchart of the diagnostic method for urea nozzle blockage provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the diagnostic method in this embodiment includes the following steps

[0055] 1) Determine whether the calculation of the flow rate reference value of the urea nozzle is completed

[0056] When the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 sys If the calculation is not completed and the running time of the urea nozzle 104 is within the factory preset time period, specifically, it can be understood as the normal running state stage of a new vehicle or the starting running state stage after replacing the urea pump 102, urea pressure pipe 103, and urea nozzle 104 later. Moreover, it is required that the SCR efficiency is normal and there is no ammonia leakage in this stage. At this time, the state of the urea nozzle 104 is considered normal, and the flow rate mean value of the urea nozzle 104 in the normal state is calculated, that is, the above-mentioned flow rate reference value Q sys , which is also the first flow rate mean value obtained for the urea nozzle 104, and then the obtained flow rate reference value Qsys is stored.

[0057] 2) Obtain the flow rate reference value of the urea nozzle

[0058] When the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 sys If the calculation is not completed and its state meets the acquisition standard of the flow rate reference value Q sys , start to obtain the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 sys .

[0059] First, obtain the sequence of the injection average flow rate of the urea nozzle 104; the sequence of the injection average flow rate is divided into n' first sequences, and the n' first sequences are obtained in n' driving cycles respectively, where n'≥1.

[0060] Specifically, in each driving cycle, m' injection average flow rates of the urea nozzle 104 are obtained respectively. The m' injection average flow rates of the urea nozzle 104 are the first sequences. Among them, m' is greater than 1, and the calculation of the m' injection average flow rates of the urea nozzle 104 respectively includes the following processes:

[0061] First, stop injecting urea from the urea nozzle 104, stabilize the pump pressure of the urea pump 102 to the set pump pressure P0, and fix the rotation speed of the urea pump 102 to the set rotation speed N; then open the urea nozzle 104 with the set opening a, consume the set volume V of urea, collect the pump pressure P'1 at the opening moment of the urea nozzle 104 and the pump pressure P'2 at the closing moment, and from the system constant C obtained in advance above b , according to formula (2), calculate the injection average flow rate of the urea nozzle 104, and obtain the injection average flow rate Q' at the opening a of the urea nozzle 104 dos ; repeat the above process until the first sequence of a driving cycle is obtained, and then calculate the first mean value of the first sequence.

[0062] Repeat the above process until the n' first mean values Q of n' driving cycles are obtaineddos1 ′, Q dos2 ′, Q dos3 ′, Q dos4 ′, …, Q dosn ′.

[0063] After that, calculate the second mean value of the n' first mean values,

[0064]

[0065] This second mean value is the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 sys , and store the obtained flow rate reference value Q sys .

[0066] If the calculation and storage of the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 sys have been completed previously, the above process of obtaining the flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 can be skipped, sys and directly obtain the flow rate mean value Q of the urea nozzle 104 for diagnosis act , and proceed with the subsequent diagnosis process.

[0067] 3) Obtain the flow rate mean value of the urea nozzle for diagnosis

[0068] When the urea consumption deviation meets the release condition, start obtaining the flow rate mean value Q for diagnosis act .

[0069] First, obtain the sequence of the injection average flow rate of the urea nozzle 104; the sequence of the injection average flow rate is divided into n first sequences, and the n first sequences are obtained within n driving cycles respectively, where n ≥ 1.

[0070] Specifically, within each driving cycle, obtain the injection average flow rates of m urea nozzles 104 respectively. The injection average flow rates of the m urea nozzles 104 are the first sequences. Among them, m > 1, and the calculation of the injection average flow rates of the m urea nozzles 104 respectively includes the following processes:

[0071] First, stop the urea injection of the urea nozzle 104, stabilize the pump pressure of the urea pump to the set pump pressure P0, and fix the rotation speed of the urea pump to the set rotation speed N; then open the urea nozzle 104 at the set opening a, consume the set volume V of urea, collect the pump pressure P1 at the opening moment of the urea nozzle 104 and the pump pressure P2 at the closing moment, and according to the system constant C obtained in advance b , according to formula (2), calculate the injection average flow rate of the urea nozzle 104, and obtain the injection average flow rate Q at the opening a of the urea nozzle 104 dos ; repeat the above process until the first sequence of a driving cycle is obtained, and then calculate the first mean value of the first sequence.

[0072] Repeat the above process until n first mean values ​​Q of n driving cycles are obtained. dos1 , Q dos2 , Q dos3 , Q dos4 ,…,Q dosn .

[0073] Then calculate the second mean of the n first means,

[0074]

[0075] The second mean value is the flow mean value Q of the urea nozzle 104 used for diagnosis. act .

[0076] Obtain the average flow rate Q of the urea nozzle 104 for diagnosis act The flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 is obtained sys The control method is the same, wherein n′ and n, m′ and m can be the same number or different numbers respectively. Specifically, the number of the first sequence and the number of driving cycles can be selected according to different stages of automobile use to ensure the accuracy of the flow mean calculation of the urea nozzle 104 and avoid excessively long diagnosis time.

[0077] If the urea consumption deviation does not meet the release condition, the urea nozzle 104 still sprays according to the normal process, and the urea injection system still performs the working process of pressure building, injection and back extraction to treat the exhaust gas.

[0078] 4) Determine the degree of blockage of the urea nozzle

[0079] When obtaining the flow rate mean value Q of the urea nozzle 104 for diagnosis act After that, the mean flow rate Q used for diagnosis act The flow rate reference value Q of the urea nozzle 104 established in advance sys According to the current requirements for the injection amount deviation, the injection amount deviation of the urea nozzle 104 exceeds 50% and an error is required. Therefore, in this embodiment, 50%*Q sys is the lower limit and 150%*Q sys As the upper limit, the mean flow value Q used for diagnosis act Make a comparison.

[0080] When used for diagnostic flow mean Q act <50%*Q sys When the urea nozzle 104 is judged to be seriously blocked, the consumption is too low and the fault is reported; when the flow mean value Q used for diagnosis act >150%*Q sys When the urea nozzle 104 is seriously corroded, the aperture of the urea nozzle 104 becomes larger, and the consumption is too high.sys <Flow mean value Q for diagnosis> act <Less than 150% * Q> sys When the clogging degree of the urea nozzle 104 is within the required range, it is determined that the urea nozzle 104 is normal.

[0081] In other embodiments, the flow mean value Q for diagnosis can also be set as needed. act Relative to the flow reference value Q sys The error reporting range is not limited to 50% * Q sys The lower limit and 150% * Q sys The upper limit.

[0082] By using the diagnostic method in this technical solution, the flow rate of the urea nozzle is calculated using the pump pressure of the urea pump. First, in the new vehicle stage, the calculation and storage of the flow reference value of the urea nozzle are completed. Then, when the urea consumption deviation meets the release condition, the flow mean value for diagnosing the urea nozzle is obtained, and the flow mean value for diagnosis is compared with the pre-established flow reference value of the urea nozzle 104 to determine the clogging degree of the urea nozzle; setting the urea consumption deviation limit according to the flow rate of the normal nozzle can improve the adaptability of the consumption deviation strategy to different urea pumps, pipeline lengths, and layouts, and improve the robustness of fault diagnosis; actively stabilizing the pump pressure, fixing the urea pump speed, reducing the influence of urea pump pressure fluctuations on the results during nozzle flow rate evaluation, and using the method of taking the mean value after multiple evaluations to improve the accuracy of the evaluated flow rate; and it can be diagnosed in each driving cycle, with a shorter diagnosis cycle and higher diagnosis accuracy compared to diagnosing the urea consumption deviation through the liquid level sensor.

[0083] The embodiment of the present application also proposes a diagnostic device for urea nozzle clogging. This diagnostic device corresponds to the above method embodiment and uses the above diagnostic method to diagnose the clogging degree of the urea nozzle 104.
