Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, equipment and storage medium for temperature control treatment of vehicle exhaust gases. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of atmospheric environmental problems, exhaust gas treatment is of paramount importance, and therefore the conversion efficiency of exhaust gas treatment has become a key focus.

[0003] Research has shown that increasing exhaust gas temperature helps improve exhaust gas conversion efficiency. Current methods mainly include using intake and exhaust throttle valves to reduce intake air volume, increasing fuel injection after injection, and adjusting the opening of the turbocharger wastegate.

[0004] However, increasing exhaust temperature through traditional pneumatic actuators or hydraulic control methods requires sacrificing fuel consumption. Furthermore, due to response speed issues, it is difficult to quickly reach the desired temperature target. In addition, the warming effect is not obvious during vehicle start-up and warm-up, which can also weaken the conversion effect and increase pollutant emissions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for controlling the temperature of vehicle exhaust gases, thereby increasing exhaust gas temperature, improving exhaust gas conversion efficiency, and reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for temperature control of vehicle exhaust gas is provided. The method includes: acquiring vehicle operating parameters of a target vehicle; determining vehicle operating condition information corresponding to the target vehicle based on the vehicle operating parameters; determining a target exhaust gas temperature required for exhaust gas treatment of the target vehicle based on the vehicle operating condition information and a pre-constructed operating condition temperature comparison table; and performing temperature control treatment on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using an electric heating device based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0007] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle exhaust temperature control device is provided. The device includes:

[0011] The vehicle exhaust temperature control module is used to perform temperature control on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle through an electric heating device based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0015] The memory stores a computer program that can be executed by the at least one processor, which is then executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the vehicle exhaust temperature control method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0016] According to another aspect of the present invention, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, the computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions for causing a processor to execute and implement the vehicle exhaust temperature control processing method according to any embodiment of the present invention.

[0017] The technical solution of this invention, by acquiring the vehicle operating parameters of the target vehicle, can determine various operational data information of the target vehicle, and determine the corresponding vehicle operating condition information of the target vehicle through multiple vehicle operating parameters. Based on the vehicle operating condition information and a pre-constructed operating condition temperature comparison table, the target exhaust gas temperature required for exhaust gas treatment of the target vehicle is determined. Based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is temperature-controlled using an electric heating device.

The electric heating device offers more precise and efficient energy control, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it can appropriately reduce the amount of precious metal coating on the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, lowering the cost of exhaust gas conversion.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Figure 1This document provides a flowchart of a vehicle exhaust temperature control method according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to situations involving temperature control of exhaust gases from gasoline-powered vehicles, particularly for increasing the exhaust gas temperature. This method can be executed by a vehicle exhaust temperature control device, which can be implemented in hardware and / or software and can be configured in an electronic device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0028] S101. Obtain the vehicle operating parameters of the target vehicle.

[0029] The target vehicle can refer to the vehicle whose exhaust gas needs to be treated. The acquired vehicle operating parameters may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: fuel injection quantity, engine speed, current exhaust gas temperature, remaining battery charge, coolant temperature, ambient temperature, and fuel pump pressure. Among these, the current exhaust gas temperature can refer to the exhaust gas discharged from the target vehicle's engine that has not yet entered the exhaust gas after-treatment system, i.e., the exhaust gas to be converted and treated.

[0030] Vehicle operating parameters can be obtained by connecting a mobile device to the vehicle's OBD interface (On-Board-Diagnostic), or by using conventional technologies such as adding wireless communication sensors, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0031] S102. Based on the vehicle operating parameters, determine the vehicle operating condition information corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0032] The vehicle operating condition information may include at least one of the following: not started, braking, coasting, idling, and normal driving. Specifically, the acquired vehicle operating parameters can be compared with pre-defined vehicle operating indicators to distinguish the current vehicle operating condition of the target vehicle.

[0033] For example, determining the vehicle operating condition information corresponding to the target vehicle based on the vehicle operating parameters includes at least one of the following operations: determining that the target vehicle is in an unstarted state when the engine speed is zero; determining that the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state when the fuel injection quantity is zero; determining that the target vehicle is in an idling state when the fuel injection quantity is not zero and the engine speed is lower than or equal to a preset speed; and determining that the target vehicle is in a normal driving state when the fuel injection quantity is not zero and the engine speed is higher than a preset speed.

[0034] Specifically, the current operating condition of the target vehicle is determined based on its engine speed and / or fuel injection quantity during operation. For example, when the engine speed is zero, it indicates that the target vehicle is not running. When the fuel injection quantity is zero, it indicates that the target vehicle is braking or coasting. When the fuel injection quantity is not zero and the engine speed is lower than or equal to a preset speed, it indicates that the target vehicle is idling. When the fuel injection quantity is not zero and the engine speed is higher than a preset speed, it indicates that the target vehicle is in normal driving mode. The preset speed can be the idle speed of a conventional vehicle, or it can be specifically set according to actual environmental conditions or needs.

[0035] S103. Based on the vehicle operating condition information and the pre-built operating condition temperature comparison table, determine the target exhaust gas temperature required for the target vehicle to perform exhaust gas treatment.

[0036] The target exhaust gas temperature refers to the optimal temperature for vehicle exhaust gas conversion treatment. When pursuing the highest conversion efficiency, the target exhaust gas temperature can be the temperature corresponding to the optimal conversion efficiency; when pursuing the highest conversion effect, the target exhaust gas temperature can be the temperature corresponding to the optimal conversion effect. The target exhaust gas temperature can be obtained through extensive conversion experiments or through theoretical reasoning. The operating condition temperature reference table is a pre-defined table that records the optimal exhaust gas conversion temperature for the target vehicle under different operating conditions.

[0037] Specifically, the determined vehicle operating condition information is compared and matched with the operating condition temperature comparison table, and the temperature information that matches the vehicle operating condition information is determined and set as the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0038] For example, the operating temperature comparison table can also be a map based on engine speed and fuel injection quantity, and may also include parameters such as coolant temperature, ambient temperature, and pressure. This invention can also directly determine the target exhaust gas temperature corresponding to the target vehicle based on engine speed and fuel injection quantity.

[0039] S104. Based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment through an electric heating device.

[0040] Specifically, based on vehicle operating condition information and current exhaust gas temperature, an exhaust gas treatment strategy for the target vehicle is determined. According to the exhaust gas treatment strategy, either no heating treatment is applied to the vehicle exhaust gas, or the vehicle exhaust gas is heated to the target exhaust gas temperature using an electric heating device.

[0041] For example, the step of temperature control treatment of the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using an electric heating device includes: determining the exhaust gas temperature difference between the current exhaust gas temperature and the target exhaust gas temperature; determining the heating power corresponding to the temperature control treatment based on the exhaust gas temperature difference, the specific heat capacity of the exhaust gas of the target vehicle, the exhaust gas mass flow rate, and the heating efficiency of the electric heating device; and performing temperature control treatment on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using the electric heating device based on the heating power corresponding to the temperature control treatment.

[0042] For example, the heating power corresponding to the electric heating device can be determined based on the exhaust gas temperature difference, the specific heat capacity of the exhaust gas of the target vehicle, the exhaust gas mass flow rate, and the heating efficiency of the electric heating device in the following manner:

[0043]

[0044] Among them, C pair It can represent the specific heat capacity of exhaust gas; m exh It can represent the exhaust gas mass flow rate; (T) target -T exh ) can represent the temperature difference of the exhaust gas; η heater It can represent heating efficiency, which is an inherent characteristic of electric heating devices.

[0045] Specifically, the temperature difference between the target temperature and the exhaust temperature is calculated. Based on the temperature difference, the specific heat capacity of the exhaust gas of the target vehicle, the mass flow rate of the exhaust gas, and the heating efficiency of the electric heating device, the heating power corresponding to the temperature control is determined. The heating power of the electric heating device is adjusted by a PID controller so that the electric heating device performs temperature control on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle based on the heating power corresponding to the temperature control, thereby achieving closed-loop control of the vehicle exhaust gas.

[0046] For example, closed-loop control can be implemented as follows: When the exhaust gas temperature difference is 50°C, the electric heating device heats the vehicle exhaust gas at a power of 3kW. As the temperature difference decreases, the heating power is gradually reduced. For instance, when the exhaust gas temperature difference decreases to 30°C, the electric heating device's power is reduced to 2kW to avoid overshooting due to excessively rapid temperature rise. Simultaneously, the battery load is reduced, improving the electric heating device's sustained heating capacity for the vehicle exhaust gas.

[0047] The technical solution of this invention, by acquiring the vehicle operating parameters of the target vehicle, can determine various operational data information of the target vehicle, and determine the corresponding vehicle operating condition information of the target vehicle through multiple vehicle operating parameters. Based on the vehicle operating condition information and a pre-constructed operating condition temperature comparison table, the target exhaust gas temperature required for exhaust gas treatment of the target vehicle is determined. Based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is temperature-controlled using an electric heating device. Temperature control of the exhaust gas using an electric heating device can directly convert the vehicle battery's electrical energy into heat energy under any operating condition of the target vehicle, increasing the exhaust gas temperature and facilitating rapid ignition during exhaust gas aftertreatment, thereby improving conversion efficiency. Simultaneously, it can reduce CO and HC generated during starting and warm-up. The electric heating device offers more precise and efficient energy control, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it can appropriately reduce the amount of precious metal coating on the exhaust gas aftertreatment system, lowering the cost of exhaust gas conversion.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] Figure 2 This is a flowchart of a vehicle exhaust temperature control method according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further refines the step of "performing temperature control processing of the exhaust gas of the target vehicle through an electric heating device based on the vehicle operating condition information, the current exhaust gas temperature of the target vehicle, and the target exhaust gas temperature." Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0050] S201. Obtain the vehicle operating parameters of the target vehicle.

[0051] S202. Based on the vehicle operating parameters, determine the vehicle operating condition information corresponding to the target vehicle.

[0052] S203. Based on the vehicle operating condition information and a pre-built operating condition temperature comparison table, determine the target exhaust gas temperature required for the target vehicle to perform exhaust gas treatment.

[0053] S204. When the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment by an electric heating device based on the current exhaust gas temperature, the first preset temperature and the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0054] The first preset temperature can be set in advance based on actual conditions or needs, and no specific limitations are imposed here.

[0055] Specifically, when the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state, a vehicle exhaust treatment strategy is determined based on the comparison between the current exhaust gas temperature and a first preset temperature, and then the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment based on the exhaust gas treatment strategy.

[0056] For example, when the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state, the step of temperature-controlling the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using an electric heating device based on the current exhaust gas temperature, a first preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature includes:

[0057] If the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state, and the current exhaust gas temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle will be heated to the target exhaust gas temperature by the electric heating device.

[0058] Specifically, when the target vehicle is braking or coasting, if the current exhaust gas temperature is lower than a first preset temperature, the electric heating device heats the exhaust gas of the target vehicle to the target exhaust gas temperature. If the current exhaust gas temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset temperature, no heating treatment is required for the exhaust gas of the target vehicle.

[0059] S205. When the target vehicle is idling, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment by an electric heating device based on the idling time of the target vehicle, the idling time threshold, the current exhaust gas temperature, the second preset temperature and the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0060] The idling duration threshold and the second preset temperature can also be set in advance based on actual conditions or needs. The idling duration threshold can further distinguish whether the target vehicle is in a long idling state or a short idling state, and formulate a more detailed exhaust gas treatment strategy, more accurately control the temperature of vehicle exhaust gas, and reduce the load on the engine and vehicle battery.

[0061] Specifically, when the target vehicle is idling, based on the comparison between the current exhaust gas temperature and the second preset temperature, and the comparison between the idling time threshold and the idling time, it is determined whether it is in a long idling state or a short idling state, and further determines the exhaust gas treatment strategy. Then, based on the exhaust gas treatment strategy, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment.

[0062] For example, when the target vehicle is idling, the step of performing temperature control treatment on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using an electric heating device based on the idling duration of the target vehicle, an idling duration threshold, the current exhaust gas temperature, a second preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature includes:

[0063] If the target vehicle is idling, and the idling time is less than the idling time threshold and the current exhaust gas temperature is less than the second preset temperature, then the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is heated to the target exhaust gas temperature by the electric heating device.

[0064] If the idling time is greater than or equal to the idling time threshold and the current exhaust gas temperature is less than the second preset temperature, then the engine operation strategy of the target vehicle is adjusted so that the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is raised to the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0065] Specifically, when the target vehicle is idling, if the idling time is less than the idling time threshold and the current exhaust gas temperature is less than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the target vehicle is in a short idling state. In this case, the electric heating device heats the exhaust gas of the target vehicle to the target exhaust gas temperature. If the idling time is greater than the idling time threshold and the current exhaust gas temperature is less than the second preset temperature, it indicates that the target vehicle is in a long idling state. In this case, strategies such as adjusting the exhaust throttle valve to reduce the intake air volume, increasing fuel injection after injection, and / or adjusting the turbocharger wastegate opening are used to raise the exhaust gas of the target vehicle to the target exhaust gas temperature, thereby avoiding the impact of prolonged electric heating on engine fuel consumption. If the current exhaust gas temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset temperature, there is no need to heat the exhaust gas of the target vehicle.

[0066] S206. When the target vehicle is in normal driving condition, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment by an electric heating device based on the current exhaust gas temperature, the third preset temperature and the target exhaust gas temperature.

[0067] The third preset temperature can be set in advance based on actual conditions or needs, and no specific limitations are specified here.

[0068] Specifically, when the target vehicle is in normal driving condition, the exhaust gas treatment strategy is determined based on the comparison between the current exhaust gas temperature and the third preset temperature, and then the exhaust gas of the target vehicle is subjected to temperature control treatment based on the exhaust gas treatment strategy.

[0069] For example, when the target vehicle is idling, the step of performing temperature control treatment on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle using an electric heating device based on the idling duration of the target vehicle, an idling duration threshold, the current exhaust gas temperature, a second preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature includes:

[0070] If the current exhaust gas temperature is lower than the third preset temperature when the target vehicle is idling, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle will be heated to the target exhaust gas temperature by the electric heating device.

[0071] Specifically, when the target vehicle is idling, if the current exhaust gas temperature is lower than the third preset temperature, the exhaust gas of the target vehicle will be heated to the target exhaust gas temperature via an electric heating device. If the current exhaust gas temperature is greater than or equal to the third preset temperature, there is no need to heat the exhaust gas of the target vehicle.

[0072] It should be noted that when the target vehicle is not running, there is no need to heat its exhaust. Secondly, the technical solution of this invention can also calculate and determine the maximum allowable heating time in real time. When the maximum allowable heating time is reached, the heating of the vehicle's exhaust by the electric heating device is stopped to prevent electrical fire hazards caused by low battery power or excessive battery load. For example, the maximum allowable heating time can be obtained by looking up the battery's SOC value in a table, or it can be initially estimated by dividing the available battery power by the heating power.

[0073] The technical solution of this invention, when the target vehicle is in a braking or coasting state, uses an electric heating device to perform temperature control on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle based on the current exhaust gas temperature, a first preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature; when the target vehicle is idling, it uses an electric heating device to perform temperature control on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle based on the idling time, an idling time threshold, the current exhaust gas temperature, a second preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature; and when the target vehicle is in a normal driving state, it uses an electric heating device to perform temperature control on the exhaust gas of the target vehicle based on the current exhaust gas temperature, a third preset temperature, and the target exhaust gas temperature. By distinguishing the operating conditions of the target vehicle in detail and formulating a more detailed exhaust gas treatment strategy based on the operating conditions, more precise temperature control of the vehicle exhaust gas can be achieved based on the exhaust gas treatment strategy, improving the conversion efficiency and effect of vehicle exhaust gas, while reducing the load on the engine and on-board battery.

Temperature control of the exhaust gas using an electric heating device can directly convert the vehicle battery's electrical energy into heat energy under any operating condition of the target vehicle, increasing the exhaust gas temperature and facilitating rapid ignition during exhaust gas aftertreatment, thereby improving conversion efficiency. Simultaneously, it can reduce CO and HC generated during starting and warm-up. The electric heating device offers more precise and efficient energy control, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
