Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicle DPF control, and in particular to a vehicle control method, a control device, a computer-readable storage medium, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Existing technologies can only remove carbon deposits from the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter, DPF) during vehicle operation through passive regeneration and on-the-go regeneration. For short-distance transport vehicles, after entering on-the-go regeneration mode, the DPF temperature is not easily raised to the carbon removal temperature due to frequent vehicle starts and stops, and the carbon load cannot be effectively reduced, making it difficult to exit on-the-go regeneration, resulting in increased fuel consumption. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle operates in normal mode, comparing the carbon load in the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, or ECU) with the carbon load at entry to regeneration. If the ECU carbon load exceeds the entry carbon load, the vehicle enters driving regeneration mode. If the ECU carbon load is less than the exit carbon load, the vehicle exits driving regeneration mode and operates in normal mode. During this process, due to the short mileage and frequent starts and stops of short-distance transport vehicles, the DPF temperature does not easily rise to the carbon removal temperature. Consequently, the carbon load after entering driving regeneration decreases slowly, making it difficult to reduce to the exit carbon load and exiting driving regeneration mode.

[0036] Figure 3 The vehicle includes a diesel particulate collector and an oxidation catalyst, such as Figure 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0037] Step S201, obtaining the carbon loading of the diesel particulate trap, wherein the carbon loading is the content of particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap;

[0038] Specifically, fuel combustion during vehicle operation produces particulate matter, which, if directly discharged, would pollute the environment. Therefore, vehicles are typically equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to collect and reburn particulate matter from fuel combustion, eliminating it—a process known as regeneration. Therefore, the amount of particulate matter in the DPF is referred to as its carbon load. Before controlling the DPF, it is important to first determine its carbon load.

[0039] Step S202: When the carbon load is greater than a first carbon load and less than or equal to a second carbon load, controlling the vehicle to enter a target control mode to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap, wherein the target control mode is a mode in which fuel injection is controlled to combust the particulate matter when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature;

[0040] Specifically, this application defines a first carbon load, a second carbon load, and a third carbon load. The first carbon load is less than the second carbon load and less than the third carbon load. The first carbon load is the carbon load at which the vehicle enters the target control mode. When the carbon load is between the first and second carbon loads, the vehicle enters the target control mode. The target control mode acquires the temperature of the oxidation catalyst (DOC) while the vehicle is in motion. The DOC and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are connected in a sequential manner, with the DOC in front and the DPF in the rear. The acquired DOC temperature is the DOC upstream temperature. When the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel ignition temperature, fuel injection is initiated to combust particulate matter.

[0041] Step S203: When the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, outputting a first prompt signal and controlling the vehicle to enter the target control mode to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector, wherein the first prompt signal is used to prompt an increase in the vehicle speed;

[0042] Specifically, when the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, the vehicle also enters the target control mode and simultaneously outputs a first prompt signal to remind the driver to increase the vehicle's speed. In this case, due to the increase in carbon load, it is necessary to increase the vehicle's speed to prevent further increases in carbon load. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode while reminding the driver to increase the speed.

[0043] In step S204, if the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, a second prompt signal is output, and the target control mode is exited. The second prompt signal is used to prompt the activation of a parking regeneration mode, which is a mode for treating particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector while the vehicle is parked.

[0044] Specifically, when the carbon load continues to increase and increases to greater than the third carbon load, the carbon load is too large in this case and the purpose of eliminating particulate matter can no longer be achieved during driving. Therefore, the target control mode is exited and a second prompt signal is output at the same time to remind the driver to perform parking regeneration, that is, to stop the car to deal with the particulate matter.

[0045] According to this embodiment, when the carbon load of the diesel particulate filter is greater than the first carbon load and less than or equal to the second carbon load, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode, that is, when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, fuel injection is controlled to cause combustion and regeneration of particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter. When the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, a first prompt signal is output to prompt an increase in vehicle speed and the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode. When the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, a second prompt signal is output to prompt the start of the parking regeneration mode and the target control mode is exited to achieve a parking mode for processing particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter. Compared with the prior art, the regeneration method of the diesel particulate collector is usually regeneration during driving. The frequent starting and stopping of the vehicle makes it difficult to raise the temperature to the carbon removal temperature, which makes it difficult to exit the driving regeneration mode, further leading to continuous injection of fuel, resulting in increased regeneration fuel consumption. The present application controls the vehicle to enter different operating modes according to the size of the carbon load, and controls fuel injection only when the temperature of the above-mentioned oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous injection. Therefore, it can solve the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by continuous injection in the diesel particulate collector regeneration method in the prior art, and achieve the effect of saving fuel.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, the above step S201 can be implemented by the following steps: Figure 4 As shown, step S2011: obtaining the vehicle speed at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined time period to obtain multiple vehicle speeds; step S2012: comparing each vehicle speed with a speed threshold, calculating the number of vehicle speeds less than or equal to the speed threshold, and obtaining the number of low speeds; step S2013: calculating the ratio of the number of low speeds to the total number of vehicle speeds to obtain a low speed specific gravity. If the low speed specific gravity is greater than the specific gravity threshold, the carbon loading of the diesel particulate collector is obtained. This method obtains the carbon loading in this situation, ensuring that the carbon loading is obtained while the vehicle is driving, thereby further determining whether fuel injection is necessary.

[0047] Specifically, during the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle speed within a period of time is counted, and the proportion of low speed is calculated, that is, multiple vehicle speeds are obtained at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined time period and compared with the speed threshold. The speed threshold is an artificial dividing value between high speed and low speed. When the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the speed threshold, the vehicle speed is considered to be low speed. When it is higher than the speed threshold, the vehicle speed is considered to be high speed. The number of low speeds, that is, vehicle speeds less than or equal to the speed threshold, is counted, and the ratio of the number of low speeds to the total number of vehicle speeds obtained is calculated to obtain the low speed proportion. When the low speed proportion is greater than a certain value, that is, the proportion threshold, the vehicle turns off the driving regeneration mode and enters the target control mode, thereby obtaining the DPF carbon load and entering the judgment of the subsequent steps.

[0048] To avoid the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection when the vehicle enters and remains difficult to exit from on-the-go regeneration mode, in some optional embodiments, when the low-speed specific gravity exceeds the specific gravity threshold, the method further comprises the step of controlling the vehicle to disable on-the-go regeneration mode, wherein the on-the-go regeneration mode is a mode in which particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector is burned while the vehicle is in motion. When this condition is met, the method disables the on-the-go regeneration mode, i.e., replaces the on-the-go regeneration mode with the target control mode for fuel injection, thereby avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection during on-the-go regeneration mode.

[0049] In specific implementation, as described above, when the low-speed specific gravity exceeds the specific gravity threshold, the vehicle disables on-road regeneration mode and is replaced by the aforementioned target control mode. During on-road regeneration mode, when the carbon load exceeds the regeneration threshold, on-road regeneration mode is entered, with continuous fuel injection. However, due to frequent vehicle starts and stops, the DPF temperature does not easily rise to the carbon elimination temperature, making it difficult to eliminate carbon particulate matter. The carbon load decreases slowly, making it difficult to reach the exit threshold for regeneration. This makes it difficult to exit on-road regeneration mode, leading to continuous fuel injection, a vicious cycle that fails to eliminate carbon deposits. By replacing on-road regeneration mode with the target control mode, fuel injection is not initiated until the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel's ignition temperature (considered the ignition point). The driver is prompted to increase speed after the carbon load further increases to a second carbon load, thereby reducing particulate matter generation. Finally, the driver is prompted to initiate parked regeneration after the carbon load exceeds a third carbon load. This control mode avoids the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection.

[0050] To avoid fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection after entering the target control mode, step S202 can be implemented by: obtaining the temperature of the oxidation catalyst; obtaining the oxidation catalyst temperature; and, when the oxidation catalyst temperature is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, obtaining the vehicle's engine speed and diesel particulate trap temperature, calculating a fuel injection amount based on the engine speed, the oxidation catalyst temperature, and the diesel particulate trap temperature, and controlling the vehicle to inject fuel according to the injection amount. This method obtains the oxidation catalyst (DOC) temperature before fuel injection and then injects fuel only after the temperature reaches a fuel combustion temperature, thereby avoiding fuel waste caused by fuel not being able to burn after injection.

[0051] Specifically, the oxidation catalyst temperature is obtained, specifically the DOC upstream temperature. Only when the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel combustion temperature can the fuel burn. Therefore, fuel injection is performed in this case. The fuel injection amount can be calculated based on the engine speed, DOC upstream temperature and DPF upstream temperature, and then the fuel is injected according to the calculated fuel injection amount.

[0052] In a specific implementation, obtaining the temperature of the oxidation catalyst can be accomplished by the following steps: obtaining the current speed of the vehicle and the engine speed of the vehicle; and obtaining the temperature of the oxidation catalyst when the current speed is greater than 0 and the engine speed is greater than the minimum engine speed, where the minimum engine speed is the minimum engine speed of the vehicle when the vehicle is in motion. This method obtains the oxidation catalyst temperature only in these circumstances, thereby accurately determining whether the vehicle is in motion. The DOC temperature can then be obtained while the vehicle is in motion for further determination.

[0053] Specifically, before determining whether the DOC temperature has reached the ignition temperature, first determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state, that is, obtain the current speed of the vehicle and the engine speed of the vehicle. If the current speed is greater than 0 and the engine speed is greater than the minimum speed, it indicates that the vehicle is in a driving state. Further obtain the temperature of the oxidation catalyst, that is, the DOC upstream temperature, so as to make subsequent judgments.

[0054] To better control the vehicle, the method further includes the following steps: when the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load, controlling the vehicle to enter a normal driving mode, wherein the initial carbon load is less than the first carbon load, and the normal driving mode is a mode in which particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector is not treated. When the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load, the method controls the vehicle to exit the target control mode and enter a normal driving mode, i.e., without treating the particulate matter.

[0055] During the specific implementation process, the initial carbon load is the critical carbon load for exiting the target control mode. That is, when the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load, the vehicle is controlled to exit the target control mode, indicating that the carbon load is small at this time and does not need to be processed. The vehicle can drive in the normal driving mode.

[0056] To better control the vehicle's entry into or exit from the target control mode, the method further includes the following steps: when the vehicle enters the target control mode and the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, controlling the vehicle to maintain the target control mode; and when the vehicle enters the normal driving mode and the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, controlling the vehicle to maintain the normal driving mode. This method controls the vehicle's entry into or exit from the target control mode in these two situations, ensuring more comprehensive control over the vehicle's flexible handling of carbon particulate matter.

[0057] Specifically, the initial carbon load is the critical carbon load for exiting the target control mode, and the first carbon load is the critical carbon load for entering the target control mode. The initial carbon load is less than the first carbon load. Therefore, entering or exiting the target control mode can be divided into the following two situations. One situation is: if the vehicle has entered the target control mode, the target control mode will only be exited if the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load. That is, if the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, the target control mode will be maintained. If the carbon load continues to increase, control will be carried out according to the control method described above. The other situation is: if the vehicle has exited the target control mode and entered the normal driving mode, the target control mode will only be entered if the carbon load is greater than the first carbon load. That is, if the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, the normal driving mode will be maintained.

[0058] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solution of the present application, the implementation process of the vehicle control method of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0059] This embodiment relates to a specific vehicle control method, such as Figure 5 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0060] Step S1: The vehicle drives in a normal mode;

[0061] Step S2: Collect vehicle speeds over a period of time and determine whether the low-speed vehicle ratio is greater than the speed determination limit. If yes, execute step S3; if no, execute step S1.

[0062] Step S3: Turn off the driving regeneration mode and enter the specific working condition injection mode (target control mode);

[0063] Step S4: Obtain the ECU carbon load and determine whether the ECU carbon load is less than the mode exit carbon load m0 (initial carbon load). If yes, proceed to step S5; otherwise, proceed to step S6.

[0064] Step S5: Exit the specific working condition injection mode and enter the normal driving mode;

[0065] Step S6: If the carbon load (first carbon load) m1 entering the judgment mode is less than the ECU carbon load and less than the alarm carbon load (second carbon load) m2, then the step S3 is executed; otherwise, the step S7 is executed.

[0066] Step S7: Determine whether the alarm prompt carbon load (second carbon load) m2 is less than the ECU carbon load and less than the parking regeneration carbon load (third carbon load) m3. If so, execute step S8; if not, execute step S9.

[0067] Step S8: Maintaining the specific working condition injection mode (target control mode), prompting high-speed driving (first prompt signal), i.e., parking regeneration;

[0068] Step S9: Determine whether the ECU carbon load is greater than the parking regeneration carbon load (third carbon load) m3. If so, execute step S10 and stop the vehicle for parking regeneration (parking regeneration mode). If not, execute step S7.

[0069] Step S10: Stop the vehicle and perform parking regeneration (parking regeneration mode).

[0071] The following is an introduction to the vehicle control device provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] Figure 6 Schematic diagram of a vehicle control device according to an embodiment of the present application. The vehicle includes a diesel particulate collector and an oxidation catalyst, such as Figure 6 As shown, the device includes:

[0073] An acquisition unit 10 is configured to acquire the carbon loading of the diesel particulate trap, wherein the carbon loading is the content of particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap;

[0074] Specifically, fuel combustion during vehicle operation produces particulate matter, which, if directly discharged, would pollute the environment. Therefore, vehicles are typically equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to collect and reburn particulate matter from fuel combustion, eliminating it—a process known as regeneration. Therefore, the amount of particulate matter in the DPF is referred to as its carbon load. Before controlling the DPF, it is important to first determine its carbon load.

[0075] a first control unit 20 configured to control the vehicle to enter a target control mode when the carbon load is greater than a first carbon load and less than or equal to a second carbon load, so as to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap, wherein the target control mode is a mode in which fuel injection is controlled to combust the particulate matter when a temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to a fuel combustion temperature;

[0076] Specifically, this application defines a first carbon load, a second carbon load, and a third carbon load. The first carbon load is less than the second carbon load and less than the third carbon load. The first carbon load is the carbon load at which the vehicle enters the target control mode. When the carbon load is between the first and second carbon loads, the vehicle enters the target control mode. The target control mode acquires the temperature of the oxidation catalyst (DOC) while the vehicle is in motion. The DOC and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are connected in a sequential manner, with the DOC in front and the DPF in the rear. The acquired DOC temperature is the DOC upstream temperature. When the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel ignition temperature, fuel injection is initiated to combust particulate matter.

[0077] a second control unit 30 configured to output a first prompt signal when the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to a third carbon load, and control the vehicle to enter the target control mode to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector, wherein the first prompt signal is configured to prompt an increase in the speed of the vehicle;

[0078] Specifically, when the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, the vehicle also enters the target control mode and simultaneously outputs a first prompt signal to remind the driver to increase the vehicle's speed. In this case, due to the increase in carbon load, it is necessary to increase the vehicle's speed to prevent further increases in carbon load. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode while reminding the driver to increase the speed.

[0079] The exit unit 40 is configured to output a second prompt signal and exit the target control mode when the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, wherein the second prompt signal is configured to prompt activation of a parking regeneration mode, wherein the parking regeneration mode is a mode for processing particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector while the vehicle is parked.

[0080] Specifically, when the carbon load continues to increase and increases to greater than the third carbon load, the carbon load is too large in this case and the purpose of eliminating particulate matter can no longer be achieved during driving. Therefore, the target control mode is exited and a second prompt signal is output at the same time to remind the driver to perform parking regeneration, that is, to stop the car to deal with the particulate matter.

[0081] According to this embodiment, when the carbon load of the diesel particulate filter is greater than the first carbon load and less than or equal to the second carbon load, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode, that is, when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, fuel injection is controlled to cause combustion and regeneration of particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter. When the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, a first prompt signal is output to prompt an increase in vehicle speed and the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode. When the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, a second prompt signal is output to prompt the start of the parking regeneration mode and the target control mode is exited to achieve a parking mode for processing particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter. Compared with the prior art, the regeneration device of the diesel particulate collector is usually regenerated while driving. The frequent starting and stopping of the vehicle makes it difficult to raise the temperature to the carbon removal temperature, which makes it difficult to exit the driving regeneration mode, further leading to continuous injection of fuel, resulting in increased regeneration fuel consumption. The present application controls the vehicle to enter different operating modes according to the size of the carbon load, and controls fuel injection only when the temperature of the above-mentioned oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous injection. Therefore, it can solve the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by continuous injection in the regeneration device of the diesel particulate collector in the prior art, and achieve the effect of saving fuel.

[0082] In a specific implementation, the acquisition unit includes a first acquisition module, a calculation module, and a second acquisition module. The first acquisition module is configured to acquire the vehicle speed at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined time period to obtain multiple vehicle speeds. The calculation module is configured to compare each vehicle speed with a speed threshold, and calculate the number of vehicle speeds less than or equal to the speed threshold to obtain a low speed count. The second acquisition module is configured to calculate the ratio of the low speed count to the total number of vehicle speeds to obtain a low speed specific gravity. If the low speed specific gravity exceeds the specific gravity threshold, the carbon loading of the diesel particulate collector is acquired. Acquiring the carbon loading in this manner ensures that the carbon loading is acquired while the vehicle is in motion, thereby further determining whether fuel injection is necessary.

[0083] Specifically, during the driving process of the vehicle, the vehicle speed within a period of time is counted, and the proportion of low speed is calculated, that is, multiple vehicle speeds are obtained at predetermined time intervals within a predetermined time period and compared with the speed threshold. The speed threshold is an artificial dividing value between high speed and low speed. When the vehicle speed is less than or equal to the speed threshold, the vehicle speed is considered to be low speed. When it is higher than the speed threshold, the vehicle speed is considered to be high speed. The number of low speeds, that is, vehicle speeds less than or equal to the speed threshold, is counted, and the ratio of the number of low speeds to the total number of vehicle speeds obtained is calculated to obtain the low speed proportion. When the low speed proportion is greater than a certain value, that is, the proportion threshold, the vehicle turns off the driving regeneration mode and enters the target control mode, thereby obtaining the DPF carbon load and entering the judgment of the subsequent steps.

[0084] To avoid the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection when the vehicle enters and remains unable to exit driving regeneration mode, in some optional embodiments, the second acquisition module further includes a control submodule configured to control the vehicle to disable driving regeneration mode, wherein driving regeneration mode is a mode in which particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector is burned while the vehicle is in motion. Under these conditions, the device disables the vehicle's driving regeneration mode, i.e., replaces the driving regeneration mode with the target control mode for fuel injection, thereby avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection during driving regeneration mode.

[0085] In specific implementation, as described above, when the low-speed specific gravity exceeds the specific gravity threshold, the vehicle disables on-road regeneration mode and is replaced by the aforementioned target control mode. During on-road regeneration mode, when the carbon load exceeds the regeneration threshold, on-road regeneration mode is entered, with continuous fuel injection. However, due to frequent vehicle starts and stops, the DPF temperature does not easily rise to the carbon elimination temperature, making it difficult to eliminate carbon particulate matter. The carbon load decreases slowly, making it difficult to reach the exit threshold for regeneration. This makes it difficult to exit on-road regeneration mode, leading to continuous fuel injection, a vicious cycle that fails to eliminate carbon deposits. By replacing on-road regeneration mode with the target control mode, fuel injection is not initiated until the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel's ignition temperature (considered the ignition point). The driver is prompted to increase speed after the carbon load further increases to a second carbon load, thereby reducing particulate matter generation. Finally, the driver is prompted to initiate parked regeneration after the carbon load exceeds a third carbon load. This control mode avoids the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection.

[0086] To avoid fuel waste caused by continuous fuel injection after entering the target control mode, the first control unit includes a third acquisition module and a first control module. The third acquisition module is configured to acquire the temperature of the oxidation catalyst to obtain the oxidation catalyst temperature. The first control module is configured to acquire the vehicle's engine speed and diesel particulate collector temperature when the oxidation catalyst temperature is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, calculate a fuel injection amount based on the engine speed, the oxidation catalyst temperature, and the diesel particulate collector temperature, and control the vehicle to inject fuel according to the injection amount. This device first acquires the oxidation catalyst (DOC) temperature before fuel injection and then injects fuel only after the temperature reaches a fuel combustion temperature, thereby avoiding fuel waste caused by fuel not being able to burn after injection.

[0087] Specifically, the oxidation catalyst temperature is obtained, specifically the DOC upstream temperature. Only when the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel combustion temperature can the fuel burn. Therefore, fuel injection is performed in this case. The fuel injection amount can be calculated based on the engine speed, DOC upstream temperature and DPF upstream temperature, and then the fuel is injected according to the calculated fuel injection amount.

[0088] In a specific implementation, the third acquisition module includes a first acquisition submodule and a second acquisition submodule. The first acquisition submodule is configured to acquire the current speed of the vehicle and the engine speed of the vehicle. The second acquisition submodule is configured to acquire the temperature of the oxidation catalyst when the current speed is greater than 0 and the engine speed is greater than the minimum engine speed, where the minimum engine speed is the minimum engine speed when the vehicle is in motion. The device acquires the oxidation catalyst temperature only in these circumstances, thereby accurately determining whether the vehicle is in motion. The DOC temperature can then be acquired while the vehicle is in motion for further determination.

[0089] Specifically, before determining whether the DOC temperature has reached the ignition temperature, first determine whether the vehicle is in a driving state, that is, obtain the current speed of the vehicle and the engine speed of the vehicle. If the current speed is greater than 0 and the engine speed is greater than the minimum speed, it indicates that the vehicle is in a driving state. Further obtain the temperature of the oxidation catalyst, that is, the DOC upstream temperature, so as to make subsequent judgments.

[0090] To better control the vehicle, the device further includes a third control unit configured to control the vehicle to enter a normal driving mode when the carbon loading is less than or equal to an initial carbon loading, wherein the initial carbon loading is less than the first carbon loading, and the normal driving mode is a mode in which particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector is not processed. When the carbon loading is less than or equal to the initial carbon loading, the device controls the vehicle to exit the target control mode and enter a normal driving mode, i.e., a mode in which particulate matter is not processed.

[0091] During the specific implementation process, the initial carbon load is the critical carbon load for exiting the target control mode. That is, when the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load, the vehicle is controlled to exit the target control mode, indicating that the carbon load is small at this time and does not need to be processed. The vehicle can drive in the normal driving mode.

[0092] To better control the vehicle's entry into or exit from the target control mode, the device further includes a fourth control unit and a fifth control unit. The fourth control unit is configured to control the vehicle to maintain the target control mode when the vehicle enters the target control mode and the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load. The fifth control unit is configured to control the vehicle to maintain the normal driving mode when the vehicle enters the normal driving mode and the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load. The device controls the vehicle's entry into or exit from the target control mode in these two situations, ensuring more comprehensive control over the vehicle's flexible handling of carbon particulate matter.

[0093] Specifically, the initial carbon load is the critical carbon load for exiting the target control mode, and the first carbon load is the critical carbon load for entering the target control mode. The initial carbon load is less than the first carbon load. Therefore, entering or exiting the target control mode can be divided into the following two situations. One situation is: if the vehicle has entered the target control mode, the target control mode will only be exited if the carbon load is less than or equal to the initial carbon load. That is, if the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, the target control mode will be maintained. If the carbon load continues to increase, control will be performed according to the control device described above. The other situation is: if the vehicle has exited the target control mode and entered the normal driving mode, the target control mode will only be entered if the carbon load is greater than the first carbon load. That is, if the carbon load is greater than the initial carbon load and less than or equal to the first carbon load, the normal driving mode will be maintained.

[0094] The vehicle control device includes a processor and a memory. The acquisition unit, first control unit, second control unit, and exit unit are all stored as program units in the memory. The processor executes the program units stored in the memory to implement the corresponding functions. The modules are all located in the same processor; alternatively, the modules may be located in different processors in any combination.

[0095] The processor includes a core that retrieves the corresponding program unit from the memory. One or more cores can be configured to adjust the core parameters to solve the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by continuous fuel injection in the diesel particulate collector regeneration method.

[0096] The memory may include non-permanent memory in a computer-readable medium, random access memory (RAM) and / or non-volatile memory, such as read-only memory (ROM) or flash RAM, and the memory includes at least one memory chip.

[0097] An embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium, which includes a stored program. When the program is executed, the device where the computer-readable storage medium is located is controlled to execute the vehicle control method.

[0098] Specifically, the vehicle control method includes:

[0099] Step S201, obtaining the carbon loading of the diesel particulate trap, wherein the carbon loading is the content of particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap;

[0100] Specifically, fuel combustion during vehicle operation produces particulate matter, which, if directly discharged, would pollute the environment. Therefore, vehicles are typically equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to collect and reburn particulate matter from fuel combustion, eliminating it—a process known as regeneration. Therefore, the amount of particulate matter in the DPF is referred to as its carbon load. Before controlling the DPF, it is important to first determine its carbon load.

[0101] Step S202: When the carbon load is greater than a first carbon load and less than or equal to a second carbon load, controlling the vehicle to enter a target control mode to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate trap, wherein the target control mode is a mode in which fuel injection is controlled to combust the particulate matter when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature;

[0102] Specifically, this application defines a first carbon load, a second carbon load, and a third carbon load. The first carbon load is less than the second carbon load and less than the third carbon load. The first carbon load is the carbon load at which the vehicle enters the target control mode. When the carbon load is between the first and second carbon loads, the vehicle enters the target control mode. The target control mode acquires the temperature of the oxidation catalyst (DOC) while the vehicle is in motion. The DOC and the diesel particulate filter (DPF) are connected in a sequential manner, with the DOC in front and the DPF in the rear. The acquired DOC temperature is the DOC upstream temperature. When the DOC upstream temperature reaches the fuel ignition temperature, fuel injection is initiated to combust particulate matter.

[0103] Step S203: When the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, outputting a first prompt signal and controlling the vehicle to enter the target control mode to combust and regenerate particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector, wherein the first prompt signal is used to prompt an increase in the vehicle speed;

[0104] Specifically, when the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to the third carbon load, the vehicle also enters the target control mode and simultaneously outputs a first prompt signal to remind the driver to increase the vehicle's speed. In this case, due to the increase in carbon load, it is necessary to increase the vehicle's speed to prevent further increases in carbon load. Therefore, the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode while reminding the driver to increase the speed.

[0105] Step S204: If the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, a second prompt signal is output, and the target control mode is exited. The second prompt signal is used to prompt the activation of a parking regeneration mode, which is a mode for processing particulate matter in the diesel particulate collector while the vehicle is parked.

[0106] Specifically, when the carbon load continues to increase and increases to greater than the third carbon load, the carbon load is too large in this case and the purpose of eliminating particulate matter can no longer be achieved during driving. Therefore, the target control mode is exited and a second prompt signal is output at the same time to remind the driver to perform parking regeneration, that is, to stop the car to deal with the particulate matter.

[0146] 1) In the vehicle control method of the present application, when the carbon load of the diesel particulate filter is greater than a first carbon load and less than or equal to a second carbon load, the vehicle is controlled to enter a target control mode, that is, when the temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, fuel injection is controlled to cause combustion and regeneration of particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter; when the carbon load is greater than the second carbon load and less than or equal to a third carbon load, a first prompt signal is output to prompt an increase in vehicle speed and the vehicle is controlled to enter the target control mode; when the carbon load is greater than the third carbon load, a second prompt signal is output to prompt the start of a parking regeneration mode, and the target control mode is exited to achieve a parking mode for processing particulate matter in the diesel particulate filter. Compared with the prior art, the regeneration method of the diesel particulate collector is usually regeneration during driving. The frequent starting and stopping of the vehicle makes it difficult to raise the temperature to the carbon removal temperature, which makes it difficult to exit the driving regeneration mode, further leading to continuous injection of fuel, resulting in increased regeneration fuel consumption. The present application controls the vehicle to enter different operating modes according to the size of the carbon load, and controls fuel injection only when the temperature of the above-mentioned oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous injection. Therefore, it can solve the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by continuous injection in the diesel particulate collector regeneration method in the prior art, and achieve the effect of saving fuel.

Compared with the prior art, the regeneration device of the diesel particulate collector is usually regenerated while driving. The frequent starting and stopping of the vehicle makes it difficult to raise the temperature to the carbon removal temperature, which makes it difficult to exit the driving regeneration mode, further leading to continuous injection of fuel, resulting in increased regeneration fuel consumption. The present application controls the vehicle to enter different operating modes according to the size of the carbon load, and controls fuel injection only when the temperature of the above-mentioned oxidation catalyst is greater than or equal to the fuel combustion temperature, avoiding the problem of fuel waste caused by continuous injection. Therefore, it can solve the problem of increased fuel consumption caused by continuous injection in the regeneration device of the diesel particulate collector in the prior art, and achieve the effect of saving fuel.
