[0056] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0057] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof 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.

[0058] Based on the EGR module characteristics of the post-treatment system, combined Figure 1 , Figure 1 The corresponding relationship between the stagnation pressure at various locations 10 points in front of the middle throttle valve, 20 points at the throat, and 30 points at the intake manifold is as follows:

[0059] P0=P1+dP1=P2+dP1+dP2

[0060] Where P0 is the stagnation pressure at 10° in front of the throttle valve; P1 is the stagnation pressure at the throat 20°; P3 is the stagnation pressure at the intake manifold 30°; dP1 is the dynamic pressure loss from 10° in front of the throttle valve to the throat 20°; and dP2 is the dynamic pressure loss from the throat 20° to the intake manifold 30°.

[0061] Using the energy balance principle and accounting for pressure drop losses in the intake line, the stagnation pressure at the throttle valve 10 meters in front of the throttle is higher than the stagnation pressure at the throat 20, which in turn is higher than the stagnation pressure at the intake manifold 30. Based on this, and based on the stagnation pressures at the throttle valve 10 meters in front of the throttle, the throat 20, and the intake manifold 30, the present application provides an EGR module pressure sensor detection method, device, vehicle, and storage medium to accurately diagnose the status of the EGR module throat pressure sensor.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Figure 2 A flowchart of an EGR module pressure sensor detection method is provided for the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to the case of accurately diagnosing the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module. The EGR module pressure sensor detection method can be performed by an EGR module pressure sensor detection device. The EGR module pressure sensor detection device can be implemented in the form of hardware and / or software. The EGR module pressure sensor detection device can be configured in a vehicle or a vehicle's after-treatment system. Figure 2 As shown, the EGR module pressure sensor detection method includes:

[0064] S110. When the engine speed, speed-load change rate, and engine water temperature meet set conditions, obtain the air flow rate before the throttle valve, the gas flow rate at the throat, and the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate at the intake manifold of the EGR module.

[0065] Among them, the engine speed, speed-load change rate and engine water temperature meet the set conditions that the engine speed exceeds the set speed limit, the speed-load change rate is lower than the set change rate limit, and the engine water temperature is greater than the set water temperature limit. The set speed limit, the set change rate limit and the set water temperature limit can be selected and set by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation of the engine, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0066] It can be understood that when the engine speed exceeds the set speed limit, the speed load change rate is lower than the set change rate limit, and the engine water temperature is greater than the set water temperature limit, the engine is in a steady-state operating condition.

[0067] Continue to see Figure 1 , obtain the first pipe flow rate before the throttle valve 10 of the EGR module, the second pipe flow rate at the throat 20, and the third pipe flow rate at the intake manifold 30. Based on the EGR module characteristics of the aftertreatment system, refer to the following flow balance formula:

[0068] m0=m1-m ng =m2-m ng -mEGR

[0069] Among them, m0 is the first pipe flow before the throttle valve 10, that is, the air flow before the throttle valve of the EGR module; m1 is the second pipe flow at the throat 20; and m2 is the third pipe flow at the intake manifold 30.

[0070] It is understandable that the first pipeline flow rate, the second pipeline flow rate and the third pipeline flow rate can all be obtained by calculation means such as the existing velocity density method, and this embodiment does not impose any limitation on the acquisition means.

[0071] For example, since the first pipe flow before the throttle valve 10 is the air flow flowing into the engine, the first pipe flow before the throttle valve 10 is equal to the air flow before the throttle valve of the EGR module, the air flow before the throttle valve of the EGR module is calculated according to the speed density method.

[0072] On the basis of the above, the flow rate of the second pipeline is equal to the flow rate of the first pipeline and the gas flow rate m at the throat of the EGR module. ng The third pipeline flow is equal to the first pipeline flow and the gas flow m at the throat of the EGR module. ng And the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate m at the intake manifold of the EGR module EGR sum.

[0073] S120 : Based on the air flow rate, the fuel gas flow rate, and the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate, respectively determine a first stagnation pressure before the throttle valve, a second stagnation pressure at the throat, and a third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold.

[0074] On the basis of the above, before respectively determining the first stagnation pressure before the throttle valve, the second stagnation pressure at the throat, and the third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold based on the air flow rate, the gas flow rate, and the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate, the pressure value p0 before the throttle valve, the pressure value p1 at the throat, the pressure value p2 at the intake manifold, the temperature value T0 before the throttle valve, the temperature value T1 at the throat, and the temperature value T2 at the intake manifold are obtained, and the gas constant R, the air molar mass M0, and the gas molar mass M ng , the effective flow area A0 in front of the throttle valve, the effective flow area A1 at the throat, and the effective flow area A2 at the intake manifold.

[0075] Specifically, the first stagnation pressure before the throttle valve is determined according to the pressure value before the throttle valve, the air flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the effective flow area before the throttle valve, and the temperature value before the throttle valve using the following formula:

[0076]

[0077] Wherein, P0 is the first stagnation pressure before the throttle valve; p0 is the pressure value before the throttle valve; m0 is the air flow rate; R is the gas constant; M0 is the air molar mass; A0 is the effective flow area before the throttle valve; T0 is the temperature value before the throttle valve;

[0078] The second stagnation pressure at the throat is determined using the following formula based on the pressure value at the throat, the air flow rate, the gas flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the gas molar mass, the effective flow area at the throat, and the temperature value at the throat. Specifically, it is:

[0079]

[0080] Wherein, P1 is the second stagnation pressure at the throat; p1 is the pressure value at the throat; m ng is the gas flow rate; M ng is the molar mass of the gas; A1 is the effective flow area at the throat; T1 is the temperature at the throat;

[0081] The third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold is determined using the following formula based on the pressure value at the intake manifold, the air flow rate, the gas flow rate, the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the gas molar mass, the effective flow area at the intake manifold, and the temperature value at the intake manifold. Specifically, it is:

[0082]

[0083] Wherein, P2 is the third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold; p2 is the pressure value at the intake manifold; m EGR is the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate; A2 is the effective flow area at the intake manifold; T2 is the temperature value at the intake manifold.

[0084] S130 : Determine a state of a pressure sensor at a throat of the EGR module according to the first stagnation pressure, the second stagnation pressure, and the third stagnation pressure.

[0085] The EGR module's throat pressure sensor status includes normal status, exceeding the upper limit of dynamic diagnosis fault, and exceeding the lower limit of dynamic diagnosis fault. If the EGR module's throat pressure sensor status is exceeding the upper limit of dynamic diagnosis fault, it means that the EGR module's throat pressure sensor exceeds the maximum detectable pressure value when dynamically detecting the throat pressure value. If the EGR module's throat pressure sensor status is exceeding the lower limit of dynamic diagnosis fault, it means that the EGR module's throat pressure sensor cannot detect a value less than the minimum pressure value when dynamically detecting the throat pressure value.

[0086] In this embodiment, using the energy balance principle and accounting for intake manifold pressure drop, the EGR module's throat pressure sensor is considered normal if the stagnation pressure before the throttle valve is higher than the stagnation pressure at the throat, and if the stagnation pressure at the throat is higher than the stagnation pressure at the intake manifold. Furthermore, if the stagnation pressure at the throat exceeds the stagnation pressure before the throttle valve, or falls below the stagnation pressure at the intake manifold, the throat pressure sensor is considered to have drifted, indicating that the EGR module's throat pressure sensor has exceeded the upper or lower limit of dynamic diagnosis.

[0087] Specifically, if the second stagnation pressure is higher than the first stagnation pressure, it is determined that the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module is a fault exceeding the dynamic diagnosis upper limit; if the second stagnation pressure is lower than the third stagnation pressure, it is determined that the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module is a fault exceeding the dynamic diagnosis lower limit.

[0088] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention is to obtain the air flow before the throttle valve, the gas flow at the throat, and the exhaust gas recirculation flow at the intake manifold of the EGR module when the engine speed, the speed-load change rate, and the engine water temperature meet the set conditions; based on the air flow, the gas flow, and the exhaust gas recirculation flow, respectively determine the first stagnation pressure before the throttle valve, the second stagnation pressure at the throat, and the third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold; and determine the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module based on the first stagnation pressure, the second stagnation pressure, and the third stagnation pressure. The present invention solves the problem of the current lack of a reliability upper and lower limit diagnostic strategy for the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module, realizes accurate detection of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module, and improves the detection reliability of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module.

[0089] Example 2

[0090] Figure 3 This is a flow chart of a method for detecting an EGR module pressure sensor provided by the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an optional implementation method based on the above embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the EGR module pressure sensor detection method includes:

[0091] S210. When the engine speed exceeds the set speed limit, the speed-load change rate is lower than the set change rate limit, and the engine water temperature is greater than the set water temperature limit, obtain a first pipe flow rate before the throttle valve, a second pipe flow rate at the throat, and a third pipe flow rate at the intake manifold of the EGR module.

[0092] S220. Determine the air flow rate before the throttle valve of the EGR module based on the first pipeline flow rate; and determine the gas flow rate at the throat of the EGR module based on the first pipeline flow rate and the second pipeline flow rate; and determine the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate at the intake manifold of the EGR module based on the first pipeline flow rate and the third pipeline flow rate.

[0093] S230: Obtain the pressure value before the throttle valve, the pressure value at the throat, the pressure value at the intake manifold, the temperature value before the throttle valve, the temperature value at the throat, and the temperature value at the intake manifold, and obtain the gas constant, the molar mass of air, the molar mass of fuel gas, the effective flow area before the throttle valve, the effective flow area at the throat, and the effective flow area at the intake manifold.

[0094] S240, determining a first stagnation pressure at the front end of the throttle valve according to the pressure value at the front end of the throttle valve, the air flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the effective flow area at the front end of the throttle valve, and the temperature value at the front end of the throttle valve; and

[0095] Determining a second stagnation pressure at the throat according to the throat pressure value, the air flow rate, the gas flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the gas molar mass, the effective flow area at the throat, and the throat temperature value; and

[0096] The third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold is determined according to the pressure value at the intake manifold, the air flow rate, the fuel gas flow rate, the exhaust gas recirculation flow rate, the gas constant, the air molar mass, the fuel gas molar mass, the effective flow area at the intake manifold, and the temperature value at the intake manifold.

[0097] On the basis of the above embodiment, according to the principle of conservation of mass, when the engine is in a steady-state operating condition, the mass flowing into the pipe is equal to the mass flowing out of the pipe.

[0098] Based on the following existing formula, calculate the dynamic pressure at each point of the pipeline;

[0099]

[0100]

[0101]

[0102] And, based on the EGR module characteristics of the aftertreatment system, refer to the following flow balance formula:

[0103] m0=m1-m ng =m2-m ng -m EGR

[0104] Then, the first stagnation pressure before the throttle, the second stagnation pressure at the throat, and the third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold are obtained, specifically:

[0105]

[0106]

[0107]

[0108] S250: If the second stagnation pressure is higher than the first stagnation pressure, determining that the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module is exceeding the dynamic diagnosis upper limit fault;

[0109] If the second stagnation pressure is lower than the third stagnation pressure, it is determined that the state of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module is a fault exceeding a dynamic diagnosis lower limit.

[0110] The technical solution of the present application utilizes the application characteristics of the EGR module on the engine and the mass balance and energy balance principles at various positions in front of the throttle valve, at the throat and at the intake manifold. Based on the deviation of the first stagnation pressure in front of the throttle valve, the second stagnation pressure at the throat and the third stagnation pressure at the intake manifold, the credibility of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module is diagnosed, thereby realizing accurate diagnosis of the status of the pressure sensor at the throat of the EGR module.
