[0033] The hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method and device, hybrid mixer truck and medium provided by the embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0034] The present application discloses a hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method, which is applied to a motor and engine combined hybrid mixer truck. The engine of the hybrid mixer truck drives the mixing tank body to run through a rear power take-off output transmission structure or drives the mixing tank body to run through a motor direct drive method.

[0035] For a traditional diesel mixer truck or a hybrid mixer truck of the present application, the engine aftertreatment system includes a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC), a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a selective catalytic reducer (SCR), as shown in Figure 1As shown, the engine 105 combustion exhaust gas is discharged after the DOC (not shown), DPF (not shown) treatment, and then transported to the SCR through the exhaust pipe 103 for treatment, and then discharged, the selective catalytic reducer (SCR) includes the SCR box 100, the upstream temperature sensor 101 installed on the upstream side of the SCR box 100, the downstream temperature sensor 102 installed on the exhaust end of the SCR box 100, and the urea injection device 104 installed on the exhaust pipe 103 close to the upstream side of the SCR box 100; the upstream temperature sensor 101 of the SCR monitors the temperature upstream of the SCR box 100, and the downstream temperature sensor 102 monitors the temperature downstream of the SCR box 100, and the engine speed, torque and the upstream temperature of the SCR box 100 have a strong correlation.

[0036] When the operation of the mixing tank body of the mixer truck is driven by the engine 105, during the waiting stage of loading or unloading of the mixer truck, the engine 105 will run for a long time at idle speed, which is easy to cause negative pressure in the cylinder of the engine 105, oil enters the combustion chamber to increase oil consumption, and accelerate the carbon deposition of the piston ring bank, affecting the service life of the engine 105 parts; and under the condition of long-time low-speed and low-load operation, the SCR temperature is too low, which causes insufficient urea injection, and at the same time affects the conversion efficiency of the SCR catalyst, at this time most of the NOx in the engine exhaust will be directly discharged into the atmosphere to cause pollution.

[0037] Figure 2 The flow chart of the hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method provided by the embodiment of the application, the execution subject of the hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method can be an electronic control unit ECU. As shown in the embodiment of the application, Figure 2 The hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method of the embodiment includes the following steps:

[0038] S1, obtain the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system.

[0039] S11, first, obtain the urea injection temperature of the SCR.

[0040] At normal temperature, urea cannot react with NOx in the exhaust gas, and generally needs to be injected at about 200℃ to ensure a high conversion rate of urea, and the urea injection temperature can be set by each manufacturer, such as setting the urea injection temperature to 250℃, 270℃, 300℃, etc., that is, when the urea injection temperature is set to 300℃, the SCR reaches 300℃, the urea injection device 104 sprays urea, and the SCR starts to work.

[0041] In actual application, the urea injection temperature is tested in the laboratory, and the best urea injection temperature is obtained in combination with the speed, torque and other information of the engine 105.

[0042] S12, then set the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system according to the urea start-up temperature setting.

[0043] In addition, according to the requirements of the user and the application platform and application environment of the product, the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system can also be a limit value specified by the customer for the realization of customized products to meet the different needs of customers.

[0044] It should be noted that when setting the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system, other factors that will affect the operation of the SCR, such as the crystallization temperature of the SCR, can also be considered.

[0045] S2, determine whether the hybrid mixer truck is in a preset working condition.

[0046] S21, first, set the hybrid mixer truck to be in a preset working condition when the upstream temperature of the SCR tank 100 is lower than the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system, and the hybrid mixer truck is not in a preset working condition when the upstream temperature of the SCR tank 100 is greater than or equal to the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system.

[0047] S21, secondly, obtain the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system, which can be collected by the upstream temperature sensor 101.

[0048] When the obtained upstream temperature of the SCR tank 100 is lower than the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system, it can be determined that the hybrid mixer truck is in a preset working condition, and when the obtained upstream temperature of the SCR tank 100 is greater than or equal to the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system, it can be determined that the hybrid mixer truck is not in a preset working condition.

[0049] In addition, it should be noted that the upstream temperature of the diesel oxidation catalyst conversion device (DOC) can also be obtained, and the upstream temperature of the DOC can be compared with the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system to determine whether the hybrid mixer truck is in a preset working condition. The upstream temperature of the DOC and the upstream temperature of the SCR tank 100 can play the same role, and can be used as the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system for comparison with the limit value of the upstream temperature of the engine aftertreatment system.

[0050] S3, determine the operation mode based on whether the hybrid mixer truck is in a preset working condition.

[0051] S31, when it is determined that the hybrid mixer truck is in a preset working condition, the operation of the mixing tank body of the hybrid mixer truck is switched from engine drive to motor drive.

[0052] Specifically, the operation of the mixing tank body is switched from engine drive to motor drive in two modes, one is active switching, and the other is passive (automatic) switching.

[0053] In the embodiment, the specific operation mode of active switching is that when the hybrid mixer truck is in the preset working condition, a prompt instruction, for example, a sound or light prompt instruction, is given, and based on the prompt instruction, the user can actively switch to motor driving, and after switching to motor driving, the engine is actively turned off.

[0054] In the embodiment, the specific operation mode of passive switching is that when the hybrid mixer truck is in the preset working condition, a prompt instruction is given, and at the same time, the time is started to be collected, and when it is judged that the time length of the collected time reaches the set time length T and any active control operation is not actively completed, the motor driving is automatically switched, and the engine is automatically turned off. The set time length T can be any time length greater than 0, and specifically, considering the reaction time of the user, the set time length T in the embodiment is preferably 3-10 min, for example, the set time length T is 5 min, 7 min, 9 min, etc.

[0055] Using the upstream temperature signal of the aftertreatment system as the signal of parallel driving of the motor and the engine, when the engine idles for a long time under low load, the upstream temperature of the SCR is lower than the set limit, the motor direct driving operation mode is actively or automatically switched, and the engine is replaced to work, so that the problems of oil consumption caused by negative pressure in the engine cylinder and the emission problems caused by low temperature of the aftertreatment SCR under the low load idle condition are solved, and the oil consumption and emission pollution caused by long-time idle running of the engine are reduced.

[0056] In addition, in actual application, according to the needs of the running condition of the mixing tank body, when the hybrid mixer truck is in the preset working condition and the prompt instruction is given, the user can actively keep the engine driving within the time before reaching the set time length T instead of switching to motor driving, so as to ensure that the running intensity of the mixing tank body meets the specific requirements, such as higher power requirements or the output electric energy of the motor needs to be reserved.

[0057] S32, when it is determined that the hybrid mixer truck is not in the preset working condition, it can be considered that the temperature of the aftertreatment system can ensure that the urea has a high conversion rate, and the high temperature of the aftertreatment system will not easily crystallize and block the exhaust pipe, at this time, the running of the mixing tank body of the hybrid mixer truck will be automatically kept as engine driving, without completing any active or passive switching.

[0058] The embodiment of the application also provides a hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management device, which corresponds to the method embodiment, and uses the hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management method to switch the motor driving mode and the engine driving mode of the mixing tank body of the hybrid mixer truck, Figure 3 The schematic diagram of the hybrid mixer truck aftertreatment thermal management device provided by the application is shown in FIG. 1.

[0063] A thermal management control module 205 is configured to determine that the hybrid mixer truck is in the preset working condition based on the upstream temperature, and switch the operation of the mixing tank of the hybrid mixer truck from engine driving to motor driving or keep the engine driving according to whether the hybrid mixer truck is in the preset working condition.

[0064] When the time length determination module 204 determines that the time length of the timing reaches the set time length T and no active control operation is completed, the time length determination module 204 feeds back to the thermal management control module 205, and the thermal management control module 205 automatically switches to motor driving and controls the engine to automatically shut down.
