Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile sensors, and in particular to a method, device and apparatus for correcting the response time of a particle sensor. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in related technologies, PM (Particulate Matter) sensors are installed at the end of the engine's aftertreatment system. When the engine's exhaust passes through the PM sensor, particulate matter, such as soot, is adsorbed on the electrodes on the sensor's surface. As the adsorbed particulate matter increases, a current is generated between the two electrodes. When the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter)'s capture efficiency decreases, more particles leak downstream of the SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system, gradually increasing the carbon load on the PM sensor and the resulting current between the PM sensor's electrodes. If the response time to the current exceeding the current error limit is less than the specified response time, the DPF is considered to have failed.

[0003] For engines equipped with a PM sensor, when the ammonia leakage rate is high, the leaked ammonia and water form ammonia water, causing the current measured by the PM sensor to be too large. Therefore, the response time for the PM sensor current to reach the current error limit is shortened. The high ammonia leakage rate causes the PM sensor current to increase, causing the PM sensor to mistakenly determine that the DPF has failed, affecting the accuracy of the PM sensor-based monitoring of the DPF's particulate capture efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0065] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0066] Moreover, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “ / ” means or, for example, A / B can mean A or B; “and / or” in the text is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist, for example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, “multiple” refers to two or more than two.

[0067] In the following, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to imply or suggest relative importance or implicitly indicate the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0068] The following explains the relevant terms or devices involved in the embodiments of this application:

[0069] A particulate matter sensor (PM) is installed in the engine exhaust system and converts particulate matter concentration into a current value to monitor DPF conversion efficiency. The PM sensor primarily consists of a sensor probe, wiring harness, and control unit. The probe connector and control unit are non-detachable.

[0070] Diesel Oxidation Catalysis (DOC): Particulate matter oxidation catalytic technology involves coating a precious metal catalyst (such as Pt) on a honeycomb ceramic substrate. This technology aims to reduce the chemical activation energy of HC, CO, and SOF in engine exhaust, allowing these substances to react with oxygen in the exhaust at lower temperatures and ultimately convert into CO2 and H2O. Oxidation catalytic converters do not require a regeneration system or control device, and feature a simple structure and high reliability. They have been widely used in modern small engines.

[0071] Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF): A particulate filter installed in the engine exhaust system, using a porous carrier medium as its filter element. Particle capture technology primarily utilizes diffusion, deposition, and impaction mechanisms to trap particulate matter in engine exhaust. As exhaust flows through the DPF, particles are trapped within the filter element, leaving cleaner exhaust gas for discharge into the atmosphere. Currently, wall-flow honeycomb ceramic filters are the most widely used, primarily in construction machinery and city buses. While they are characterized by simple operation and high filtration efficiency, they present challenges such as filter regeneration and sensitivity to sulfur in the fuel.

[0072] Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR): Selective catalytic reduction technology is used in diesel engine aftertreatment applications to reduce the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in engine exhaust. NOx is one of the main harmful components of diesel engine exhaust. SCR works by injecting a reducing agent into the exhaust line. Under the catalytic action of a catalyst, the reducing agent reacts with NOx in the exhaust, thereby reducing NOx concentration.

[0073] The reducing agent currently used in SCR systems is ammonia (NH3). In practice, for ease of storage and transportation, a urea (NH2CONH2) aqueous solution (urea or AdBlue, a 32.5% urea aqueous solution) is often loaded onto vehicles. Urea is preheated in the exhaust gas line and hydrolyzed to produce ammonia and water. Ammonia then reacts with nitrogen oxides (primarily NO and NO2) in the exhaust gas to produce nitrogen and water.

[0074] Ammonia slip catalyst (ASC).

[0075] Particulate matter: The particulate matter contained in the engine exhaust generally includes two components: soot and ash. Soot generally refers to the part that can be burned through regeneration, and ash refers to the incombustible component. The incombustible component will continue to accumulate in the DPF. When a certain accumulation amount is reached, manual cleaning is required.

[0076] like Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the engine exhaust system architecture, showing the engine, DOC, DPF, SCR, ASC, and PM sensor connected sequentially. In related technology, the PM sensor is installed at the end of the engine exhaust system. As the engine's exhaust passes through the PM sensor, particulate matter such as soot in the exhaust gas is adsorbed on the electrodes on the sensor surface. As the adsorbed particulate matter increases, a current is generated between the two electrodes.

[0077] When the DPF's capture efficiency decreases, the carbon load leaking to the PM sensor downstream of the SCR will gradually increase, causing the current between the electrodes on the sensor to increase. When the current value exceeds the current error limit and the response time is less than the specified response time, the DPF is considered to have failed.

[0078] For engines equipped with a PM sensor, when the ammonia leakage rate is high, the leaked ammonia and water form ammonia water, causing the current measured by the PM sensor to be too large. Therefore, the response time for the PM sensor current to reach the current error limit is shortened. The high ammonia leakage rate causes the PM sensor current to increase, causing the PM sensor to mistakenly determine that the DPF has failed, affecting the accuracy of the PM sensor-based monitoring of the DPF's particulate capture efficiency.

[0079] In view of this, the present application provides a method, device and equipment for correcting the response time of a particulate matter sensor, which is used to solve the problem in the related art that high ammonia leakage causes the current of the particulate matter sensor to increase, affecting the accuracy of monitoring the particle capture efficiency of the DPF based on the PM sensor.

[0080] The inventive concept of this application can be summarized as follows: when determining that the current of the PM particulate matter sensor has reached the current limit, the real-time ammonia leakage of the engine and the real-time response time for the PM current to reach the current limit from zero are obtained at the current real-time operating point. By conducting comparative experiments comparing the PM current from zero to a preset current when the engine ammonia leakage is at different values ​​at the same current real-time operating point, a response time correction coefficient corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage is obtained. Finally, the real-time response time is corrected using the response time correction coefficient. In summary, the embodiment of this application takes into account the impact of the ammonia leakage from the engine tail exhaust on the current of the PM sensor and adds a step to correct the PM sensor response time based on the ammonia leakage. This avoids the impact of the ammonia leakage on the accuracy of the DPF particulate matter capture efficiency monitoring, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the DPF particulate matter capture efficiency monitoring.

[0081] After introducing the main inventive concepts of the embodiments of this application, the following briefly introduces the application scenarios to which the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application can be applied. It should be noted that the application scenarios introduced below are only for the purpose of illustrating the embodiments of this application and are not limiting. In specific implementations, the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application can be flexibly applied according to actual needs.

[0082] To facilitate understanding of the method for correcting the response time of a particulate matter sensor provided in the embodiments of the present application, this will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] In a possible embodiment, the present application provides a method for correcting the response time of a particle sensor, which is applied to Figure 1 The engine exhaust system shown in the figure has an overall flow as follows Figure 2 As shown, including the following:

[0084] In step 201 , when it is determined that the current of the PM sensor reaches the current limit, the real-time ammonia leakage of the engine and the real-time response time for the current of the PM sensor to reach the current limit from zero are obtained at the current real-time operating point.

[0085] In a possible implementation, the process of obtaining the real-time ammonia leakage of the engine at the current real-time operating point is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it can be implemented as the following steps:

[0086] In step 301 , the actual urea injection amount and ammonia recovery amount of the selective catalytic reduction device at the current real-time operating point are obtained.

[0087] In step 302 , the difference in nitrogen oxides between upstream and downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device at the current real-time operating point is obtained, and the ammonia reaction amount is obtained based on the difference.

[0088] In step 303 , the real-time ammonia leakage amount of the engine at the current real-time operating point is obtained according to the actual urea injection amount, the ammonia recovery amount and the ammonia reaction amount.

[0089] For example, the SCR downstream temperature at the current real-time operating point is 250°C and the exhaust gas flow rate is 300 3 / h, the actual urea injection amount of the selective catalytic reduction device is a. After being injected into the engine exhaust system, some ammonia that has not undergone chemical reaction will be recovered, and the ammonia recovery amount obtained by the sensor is b. The present application can also obtain the difference in nitrogen oxides upstream and downstream of the selective catalytic reduction device. According to the chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen oxides and ammonia and the difference in nitrogen oxides (i.e., the amount participating in the chemical reaction), the ammonia reaction amount is c. Based on the actual urea injection amount a, the ammonia recovery amount b, and the ammonia reaction amount c, the real-time ammonia leakage amount of the engine at the current real-time operating point is d, where d=abc.

[0090] In a possible implementation manner, the embodiment of the present application directly reads the real-time response time of the PM current from zero to the current limit through the PM sensor.

[0091] In step 202, based on a predetermined first control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero when the ammonia leakage amount of the engine is zero at the real-time operating point, and a second control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero at different ammonia leakage amounts of the engine at the real-time operating point, a response time correction coefficient corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount is obtained according to the first control response time and the second control response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount.

[0092] In one possible embodiment, the embodiment of the present application predetermines, through comparative experiments, a first control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero when the ammonia leakage of the engine is zero at a real-time operating point, and a second control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero at different ammonia leakage amounts of the engine at a real-time operating point. The specific flow chart is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, including the following:

[0093] In step 401 , the operating point of the engine is adjusted to a plurality of different operating points by a controller, and the actual urea injection amount of the selective catalytic reduction device is adjusted so that the ammonia leakage amount of the engine is different.

[0094] In a possible implementation, in order to make the data of the comparative experiment cover a wider range of operating points, the operating point of the engine is adjusted to a plurality of different operating points by the controller in step 401, such as Figure 5 As shown, including the following:

[0095] In step 501 , the SCR downstream temperature and exhaust gas flow rate of the engine are adjusted to a plurality of different values ​​by a controller.

[0096] In step 502 , any SCR downstream temperature from a plurality of different SCR downstream temperature values ​​and any exhaust gas flow rate from a plurality of exhaust gas flow rate values ​​are matched as an operating point to obtain a plurality of different operating points.

[0097] For example, the engine's SCR downstream temperature can be adjusted to 250°C and 350°C, and the exhaust gas flow rate can be adjusted to 300°C. 3 / h and 60m 3 / h, any SCR downstream temperature among multiple different SCR downstream temperature values ​​and any exhaust gas flow rate among the multiple exhaust gas flow rates are matched as an operating point, that is, the embodiment of the present application can match two values ​​of SCR downstream temperature with two values ​​of exhaust gas flow rate one to one, such as the SCR downstream temperature is 250°C and the exhaust gas flow rate is 300 3 / h as a working point, the SCR downstream temperature is 250℃ and the exhaust gas flow rate is 60m 3 / h is taken as a working point, and so on, 4 different working points are obtained to match the real-time working point.

[0098] In addition, in step 401, the actual urea injection amount of the selective catalytic reduction device is adjusted so that the ammonia leakage amount of the engine is different values, including: the ammonia leakage amount is 0 when the actual urea injection amount of the selective catalytic reduction device is the same, the ammonia leakage amount is x when the actual urea injection amount is oversprayed by 1.5 times, and the ammonia leakage amount is y when the actual urea injection amount is oversprayed by 2 times, and so on. The present application adjusts the ammonia leakage amount of the engine by adjusting the actual urea injection amount of the selective catalytic reduction device, provides preparatory conditions for the completion of the comparative experiment, and provides more control data for the comparative experiment.

[0099] In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining multiple different operating points in a comparative experiment and adjusting the engine ammonia leakage to multiple different values, a first control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current when the engine ammonia leakage is zero at each operating point is determined in step 402, as well as a second control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current when the engine ammonia leakage is zero at each operating point. Step 402 determines the control response times corresponding to multiple different operating points and different ammonia leakage levels through comparative experiments, facilitating the subsequent screening of the first and second control response times at the real-time operating point in step 403.

[0100] In step 403, a first control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero when the ammonia leakage amount of the engine is zero at the real-time operating point is selected from the first control response time, and a second control response time for the PM current to reach a preset current from zero when the ammonia leakage amount of the engine is the real-time ammonia leakage amount at the real-time operating point is selected from the second control response time.

[0101] In one possible implementation, after the first control response time and the second control response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount are screened and obtained in step 403, the response time correction coefficient corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount is obtained using the following response time correction coefficient determination formula (1):

[0102] f=t a / t b (1)

[0103] Among them, t a represents the first control response time, t b represents the second control response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount, and f represents the response time correction coefficient corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount.

[0104] In step 203, the real-time response time is corrected according to the response time correction coefficient to obtain the corrected response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount.

[0105] In one possible implementation, the embodiment of the present application uses the following corrected response time determination formula (2) to correct the real-time response time according to the response time correction coefficient to obtain the corrected response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount:

[0106] T2=T1*f (2)

[0107] Wherein, T1 represents the real-time response time, T2 represents the corrected response time corresponding to the real-time ammonia leakage amount, and f represents the response time correction coefficient.

[0108] In summary, the embodiment of the present application takes into account the impact of the amount of ammonia leakage from the engine tail exhaust on the current of the PM sensor, adds a step of correcting the response time of the particulate matter sensor based on the amount of ammonia leakage, avoids the impact of the amount of ammonia leakage on the accuracy of monitoring the particle capture efficiency of the DPF, and thus ensures the monitoring accuracy of the particle capture efficiency of the DPF.

[0109] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application provides a device for correcting the response time of a particulate matter sensor, which is applied to an engine exhaust system, such as Figure 6 As shown, the apparatus 600 includes:

[0110] The real-time data acquisition module 601 is configured to obtain the real-time ammonia leakage of the engine and the real-time response time of the PM current from zero to the current limit at the current operating point when the current of the PM sensor reaches the current limit;
