Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0042] Method Implementation Examples
[0043] See Figure 1 The figure is a schematic flowchart of a heating device control method provided in an embodiment of this application, including the following steps:
[0044] S101, obtains engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate and engine exhaust temperature.
[0045] It should be noted that in this application, the heating device is arranged between the engine and the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC).
[0046] As an example, in the embodiments provided in this application, sensors can be used to acquire engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature. Engine speed can be acquired by a sensor arranged in the engine section, engine exhaust flow rate can be acquired by a sensor arranged between the heating device and the engine, and engine exhaust temperature can be acquired by a sensor arranged between the heating device and the engine.
[0047] Currently, some vehicles acquire engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, or engine exhaust temperature for display or other operations. Therefore, this step can also retrieve the stored data.
[0048] S102, the heating device is controlled based on the engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate and engine exhaust temperature.
[0049] In the embodiments provided in this application, the heating device is controlled based on the engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate and engine exhaust temperature obtained in step S101. For example, the heating device can be controlled to enter or exit the working state. When the heating device has different power levels or different power working states, the heating device can also be controlled to work at different power levels or in different power working states.
[0050] It should be noted that, in the embodiments provided in this application, the heating device can be controlled not only based on engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature, but also by combining the heating device temperature, engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature.
[0051] This application provides a heating device control method that acquires engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature, and controls the heating device based on these parameters. Using engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature as control conditions for the heating device effectively reduces the risk of overheating due to operating at low exhaust flow rates, thus significantly lowering the probability of overheating damage.
[0052] See Figure 2 The figure is a schematic flowchart of another heating device control method provided in an embodiment of this application, including the following steps:
[0053] When the engine starts, determine whether the engine speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed n0, whether the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset exhaust flow rate Q0, and whether the exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the preset exhaust temperature T0.
[0054] When the engine speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed n0, the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset exhaust flow rate Q0, and the engine exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the preset exhaust temperature T0, the heating device is controlled to enter the working state.
[0055] When the engine speed is less than the preset speed n0, the engine exhaust flow rate is less than the preset exhaust flow rate Q0, or the engine exhaust temperature is greater than the preset exhaust temperature T0, the heating device is controlled to exit the working state.
[0056] After the heating device enters the working state, it is determined whether the engine exhaust temperature is greater than the preset exhaust temperature T0, and whether the heating device temperature is greater than the protection temperature T1.
[0057] When the engine exhaust temperature exceeds the preset exhaust temperature T0, or when the heating device temperature exceeds the protection temperature T1, the heating device is controlled to exit the working state.
[0058] It should be noted that the temperature of the heating device can be obtained by placing sensors in the heating device.
[0059] It should be noted that the preset speed n0, preset exhaust flow rate Q0, preset exhaust temperature T0, and protection temperature T1 can be set through experiments. For example, the relationship curve between engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, engine exhaust temperature, and heating device temperature can be determined through experiments, thereby setting the preset speed n0, preset exhaust flow rate Q0, and preset exhaust temperature T0. Alternatively, the protection temperature T1 can be set by testing the damage rate of the heating device under different temperatures and the same working time.
[0060] This application embodiment utilizes parameters such as engine speed, exhaust temperature, exhaust flow rate, and heating device temperature to establish a corresponding control strategy, which can avoid the risk of overheating of the heating device when operating at low exhaust flow rate; at the same time, by measuring the temperature of the heating device and setting a protection temperature, it can prevent the heating device from being damaged by overheating.
[0061] As an example, engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, engine exhaust temperature, and heating device temperature can all be obtained using corresponding sensors. For specific sensor placement locations, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3 .
[0062] It should be noted that, in Figure 3 In this context, DOC stands for Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, which reduces hydrocarbon emissions by oxidizing unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas into water and carbon dioxide. DPF stands for Diesel Particulate Filter, which is used to capture particulates in the exhaust gas. SCR stands for Selective Catalytic Reduction, which involves injecting urea solution into the exhaust pipe to hydrolyze it into ammonia. The ammonia then reduces nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas to nitrogen. ASC stands for Ammonia Slip Catalyst, which primarily eliminates excess or escaped ammonia by oxidizing it into nitrogen and nitrogen oxides. Simultaneously, it catalyzes the reaction of nitrogen oxides and ammonia back into nitrogen.
[0063] exist Figure 3In this system, the heating device is positioned between the engine and the DOC. Sensors can be placed in the engine section to measure engine speed, in the heating device section to measure heating device temperature, and between the heating device and the engine to measure engine exhaust temperature and engine exhaust flow.
[0064] Another heating device control method provided in this application embodiment controls the heating device to enter the working state when the engine speed is greater than or equal to a preset speed, the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than or equal to a preset exhaust flow rate, and the engine exhaust temperature is less than or equal to a preset exhaust temperature; controls the heating device to exit the working state when the engine speed is less than the preset speed, the engine exhaust flow rate is less than the preset exhaust flow rate, or the engine exhaust temperature is greater than the preset exhaust temperature; and controls the heating device to exit the working state when the temperature of the heating device is higher than a preset temperature. By using engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature as enabling conditions for the heating device, it is possible to avoid turning on the heating device when the exhaust flow is insufficient, which would prevent the heat generated by the heating device from being absorbed by the engine exhaust and thus cause overheating. Furthermore, by installing a temperature sensor on the heating device and setting a protection temperature, it is possible to control the heating device to exit the working state when it may overheat and be damaged, further reducing the probability of overheating damage.

[0068] The control module 402 is used to control the heating device based on the engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate and engine exhaust temperature.
[0069] Optionally, the control module 402 is specifically used for:
[0070] When the engine speed is greater than or equal to the preset speed, the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than or equal to the preset exhaust flow rate, and the engine exhaust temperature is less than or equal to the preset exhaust temperature, the heating device is controlled to enter the working state.
[0071] Optionally, the control module 402 is specifically used for:
[0072] When the engine speed is less than the preset speed, the engine exhaust flow rate is less than the preset exhaust flow rate, or the engine exhaust temperature is greater than the preset exhaust temperature, the heating device is controlled to exit the working state.

Using engine speed, engine exhaust flow rate, and engine exhaust temperature as control conditions for the heating device effectively reduces the risk of overheating caused by operating at low exhaust flow rates, thus significantly lowering the probability of overheating damage.
