[0059] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments only represent some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0060] In the present application, the term “comprising” or “including” or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that the process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without more limitation, the element defined by the sentence “including a…” does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0061] Term explanation:

[0062] Urea nozzle: an important component of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system, which can atomize and spray the pressurized urea.

[0063] Mixer: the area where the atomized urea and engine exhaust gas are mixed during post-processing.

[0064] Exhaust flow: the flow of exhaust gas generated by engine combustion, generally evaluated in terms of mass flow or volume flow.

[0065] As can be known from the background art, the current urea injection method has the problem that the urea injection timing cannot be accurately coupled with the exhaust flow, resulting in poor mixing effect of urea and exhaust gas, and the risk of crystallization and NOx emission exceeding the standard. The exhaust flow and the change of the exhaust flow in the prior art are idealized models, and the urea delayed injection is made on this basis, which can solve the problem of poor coupling degree of injection timing to a certain extent, but still has the defect of open-loop control, and when the exhaust gas change speed is uncertain, the injection timing is also uncertain.

[0066] To solve the problem of inaccurate urea injection timing in the prior art, the present application provides a urea injection control scheme, which determines the gas flow rate according to the time delay of the measurement values of the air pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor, determines the time delay of the exhaust gas from the differential pressure sensor to the urea injection according to the gas flow rate, and determines the injection time of the urea according to the time delay. The whole process eliminates the influence of the time delay of the exhaust process, makes the urea injection timing more accurate, effectively reduces the problem of uneven mixing caused by poor urea injection timing, and further reduces the problem of crystallization or poor emission adaptability.

[0067] The present application can be used in many general or special computing device environments or configurations. For example: personal computers, server computers, handheld or portable devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor devices, distributed computing environments that include any of the above devices or devices, etc.

[0068] The present application can be applied to the control system of a vehicle, which can be composed of a computing device or a computer terminal.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 A method flow chart of a urea injection control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided, and the specific description is as follows.

[0070] S101, obtain the intake flow detected by the air pressure sensor of the vehicle, and determine the ideal value of the exhaust flow corresponding to the intake flow.

[0071] The vehicle is in a working state, and the intake flow rate detected by the air pressure sensor of the vehicle is obtained. The air pressure sensor is a BPS sensor in the vehicle, which is used to measure the intake flow rate of the vehicle. The measured intake flow rate can be the air flow rate entering the vehicle for burning fuel.

[0072] When the vehicle is in a working state, the air pressure sensor of the vehicle detects the intake flow rate in real time. After detecting the intake flow rate, the ideal exhaust flow rate corresponding to the intake flow rate can be determined.

[0073] When determining the ideal exhaust flow rate, the fuel flow rate of the vehicle detected at the time of detecting the intake flow rate also needs to be determined. The intake flow rate and the fuel flow rate are processed to obtain the ideal exhaust flow rate corresponding to the intake flow rate. The ideal exhaust flow rate can also be referred to as the theoretical exhaust flow rate. The ideal exhaust flow rate is the flow rate of the exhaust gas theoretically discharged after the intake flow rate and the fuel flow rate are burned.

[0074] The fuel flow rate of the vehicle is controlled by the ECU of the vehicle. At the same time, the intake flow rate and the fuel flow rate of the vehicle are obtained, and then the intake flow rate and the fuel flow rate are processed to obtain the ideal exhaust flow rate of the exhaust gas of the vehicle.

[0075] The intake flow rate and the exhaust flow rate maintain a certain conversion rule. The ideal exhaust flow rate can be determined according to the conversion rule. The process of determining the ideal exhaust flow rate is as follows: exhaust flow rate = intake flow rate / 3.6 + 840*fuel flow rate / 3600. The exhaust flow rate in the formula is the ideal exhaust flow rate.

[0076] S102, when the exhaust flow rate of the differential pressure sensor of the vehicle reaches the ideal exhaust flow rate, the target time and the exhaust lag time are determined. The target time is the time when the exhaust flow rate of the differential pressure sensor reaches the ideal exhaust flow rate. The exhaust lag time is the time required from determining the ideal exhaust flow rate to the exhaust flow rate of the differential pressure sensor reaching the ideal exhaust flow rate.

[0077] When the vehicle is in a working state, the differential pressure sensor of the vehicle can determine the exhaust flow rate in real time. The exhaust flow rate determined here is the flow rate of the exhaust gas actually discharged by the vehicle. The flow rate of the exhaust gas actually discharged by the vehicle should be consistent with the flow rate of the exhaust gas theoretically discharged. The fuel combustion needs a certain time, and there is a certain distance between the differential pressure sensor and the air pressure sensor of the vehicle. Therefore, it also needs a certain time for the exhaust gas to flow from the air pressure sensor to the differential pressure sensor. Therefore, from determining the ideal exhaust flow rate based on the intake flow rate detected by the air pressure sensor to detecting the exhaust flow rate corresponding to the intake flow rate by the differential pressure sensor, there is a lag. The lag time can be regarded as the exhaust lag time. In other words, the exhaust lag time can also be the time required from determining the ideal exhaust flow rate to the exhaust flow rate of the differential pressure sensor reaching the ideal exhaust flow rate.

[0078] The present application needs to determine the exhaust lag duration and needs to determine the moment when the exhaust flow of the differential pressure sensor reaches the ideal value of the exhaust flow as the target time, so as to subsequently determine the flow rate of the exhaust gas in the vehicle.

[0079] The differential pressure change generated by the differential pressure sensor is different for different exhaust flows, and the process of determining the exhaust flow of the vehicle's differential pressure sensor is described with reference to Figure 2 , which is described in detail as follows.

[0080] S201, obtaining the engine speed of the vehicle.

[0081] Obtaining the operating parameters of the vehicle, and determining the engine speed from the operating parameters.

[0082] S202, obtaining the differential pressure value of the differential pressure sensor.

[0083] S203, applying the engine speed and the differential pressure value to determine the exhaust flow of the differential pressure sensor of the vehicle in the preset exhaust flow table.

[0084] The exhaust flow table is a pre-set table, in which different engine speeds and differential pressure values correspond to different exhaust flows, and further, the table reflects the relationship between the differential pressure change generated by the differential pressure sensor and the different exhaust flows.

[0085] S103, applying the exhaust lag duration to determine the exhaust flow rate of the vehicle.

[0086] There is a certain distance between the air pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor in the vehicle, which can be determined by obtaining the parameters of the vehicle. The distance between the air pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor is the first distance. Dividing the first distance by the exhaust lag duration can obtain the exhaust flow rate of the exhaust gas in the vehicle.

[0087] S104, applying the exhaust flow rate to determine the delay duration of the exhaust gas from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle of the vehicle.

[0088] Further, there is also a certain distance between the differential pressure sensor of the vehicle and the urea nozzle of the vehicle, and the distance between them is the second distance. It takes a certain time for the exhaust gas to flow from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle. At this time, it is necessary to determine the time for the exhaust gas to flow from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle. This time can be regarded as the delay duration. Multiplying the exhaust flow rate by the second distance can obtain the delay duration.

[0089] It should be noted that the exhaust gas of the vehicle refers to the gas discharged from the vehicle, which can also be regarded as exhaust gas.

[0090] S105, based on the delay duration and the target time, determine urea injection time, and control the urea nozzle of the vehicle to inject urea according to the urea injection time.

[0091] The target time is the time when the exhaust flow detected by the differential pressure sensor reaches the ideal exhaust flow value. After determining the delay duration, the delay duration and the target time are added to obtain the urea injection time, which is the best time to inject urea. When the time of the vehicle reaches the urea injection time, the urea nozzle is controlled to inject urea, thereby improving the precision of urea injection.

[0092] In the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the intake flow detected by the air pressure sensor of the vehicle is obtained, and the ideal exhaust flow value corresponding to the intake flow is determined. When the exhaust flow of the differential pressure sensor of the vehicle reaches the ideal exhaust flow value, the target time and the exhaust lag duration are determined. The target time is the time when the exhaust flow of the differential pressure sensor reaches the ideal exhaust flow value. The exhaust lag duration is the duration required from determining the ideal exhaust flow value to the exhaust flow of the differential pressure sensor reaching the ideal exhaust flow value. The exhaust flow rate of the vehicle is determined by using the exhaust lag duration. The delay duration of the exhaust of the vehicle from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle of the vehicle is determined by using the exhaust flow rate. Based on the delay duration and the target time, the urea injection time is determined, and the urea nozzle of the vehicle is controlled to inject urea according to the urea injection time. In the process of injecting urea, the exhaust flow rate is determined by using the measurement values of the air pressure sensor and the differential pressure sensor, and the delay duration required for the exhaust from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle is determined by using the exhaust flow rate. The urea injection time is determined according to the delay duration, and the time delay of the exhaust from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle is considered in the process of injecting urea, thereby avoiding the influence of the time delay on the urea injection, so that the timing of the urea injection is more accurate, and the problem of uneven mixing caused by the difference in the timing of the urea injection, crystallization or poor emission adaptability is reduced.

[0093] In the scheme provided by the application, the gas flow rate is determined according to the time delay of the measurement values of the BPS sensor and the DPF differential pressure sensor. The distance from the differential pressure sensor to the urea nozzle is fixed, and the time can be calculated. The DPF differential pressure sensor records the time when the exhaust reaches the differential pressure sensor. On this basis, the time when the exhaust reaches the nozzle is added, and the best urea injection timing is obtained.

[0094] Reference Figure 3 For the example of determining the urea injection time provided by the embodiment of the application, based on the BPS sensor and the differential pressure sensor, the gas flow time delay (equivalent to the exhaust lag duration in the foregoing) is determined. Curve 1 in the figure represents the change curve of the intake flow passing through the BPS sensor, curve 2 represents the change curve of the exhaust flow passing through the differential pressure sensor, and curve 3 represents the urea injection curve.

[0095] The fuel in the combustion process, the intake flow and exhaust flow keep certain conversion rule, namely: exhaust flow = intake flow / 3.6 + 840 * fuel flow / 3600, thereby calculating the model value of the exhaust flow. Further, the meaning of the model is that when the gas transient changes, the intake and exhaust are similar to the curve of the sine function, and it is difficult to identify whether the value reaching the pressure difference sensor is the peak value. Therefore, the gas change will generate the ideal value (MAP) of the pressure difference change of the pressure difference sensor, and when the real change is close to the preset value, it represents that the time difference between the sine wave of the two gas flows is found.

[0096] The pressure difference change generated by different exhaust flows at the pressure difference sensor is different, and the preset map (equivalent to the exhaust flow table in the foregoing) writes the corresponding relationship, and the exhaust flow measured by the pressure difference sensor can be obtained by querying the map through the engine speed and the pressure difference value. In the actual operation process, the exhaust flow measured by the sensor and the theoretical exhaust flow keep a kind of lagging follow-up, and the lag time difference is Δt (equivalent to the exhaust lag time in the foregoing).

[0097] Reference Figure 4 The example diagram for determining the exhaust flow provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the figure, the curve a in the figure is the curve of the theoretical value of the exhaust flow, the curve b is the curve of the value measured by the pressure difference sensor on the side of the exhaust flow, and is also the curve of the exhaust flow of the pressure difference sensor, and the curve c is the curve of the intake flow. As shown in the figure, the line type of the theoretical exhaust flow (i.e. the theoretical value of the exhaust flow) and the line type of the actual exhaust flow (the exhaust flow of the pressure difference sensor) are highly consistent, and the time difference of the other line type can be monitored after the data synchronization. Figure 4 It can be known that there is a lag between the theoretical value of the exhaust flow and the exhaust flow of the pressure difference sensor, and the lag time is Δt.

[0098] Continue Figure 3 It is continued to be explained that after the lag time Δt is determined, the distance between the BPS sensor and the pressure difference sensor can be divided by the lag time, and the exhaust flow rate can be obtained, then the distance from the pressure difference sensor to the urea nozzle is multiplied by the exhaust flow rate, and the time length of the exhaust gas from the pressure difference sensor to the urea nozzle can be determined, then the time when the exhaust gas reaches the pressure difference sensor is added to the time length of the exhaust gas from the pressure difference sensor to the urea nozzle, and the best time of injecting urea, i.e. the time when the gas reaches the SCR, can be obtained.

[0099] The urea injection is controlled by the scheme provided by the application, and the urea can be injected when the exhaust gas reaches the SCR, so that the urea fully reflects with the exhaust gas, thereby reducing the emission amount of NOx in the exhaust gas and reducing pollution.

[0100] The change of the exhaust flow rate and the change of the intake flow rate keep followability, the present application utilizes the time delay of the followability to judge the time difference, and utilizes the original vehicle sensor to complete the gas flow rate calculation, based on which the urea injection timing is calculated, and the urea injection is more accurate. The problem of uneven mixing of gases due to different urea injection timing, and further leading to crystallization or poor emission adaptability can be reduced to a certain extent.
