[0041] It has to be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. as used in the description and the claims and the above figures of the present application are used to distinguish between similar objects, not necessarily described by their priority or chronology. The skilled person understands that the data thus used can be interchanged, where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than the one illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or units not necessarily limited to those explicitly listed, but can include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0042] Figure 1 is a schematic view of a structure of an engine aftertreatment system, referring to Figure 1 The engine aftertreatment system comprises a filter (1) along an exhaust gas flow direction (2) from an engine (3) to an exhaust gas treatment device (4). Figure 1The exhaust treatment system is provided with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) 10, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) 20, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device 30 and an ammonia slip catalyst (ASC) 40 arranged in sequence (indicated by arrows), wherein the DOC is a device for converting carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC) in engine exhaust into harmless water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) through an oxidation reaction, while reducing the soluble organic components in particulate matter; the DPF is arranged behind the DOC and can capture particulate emissions before they enter the atmosphere, thereby reducing particulate emissions; the SCR is a treatment process for NOx in exhaust emissions, i.e., under the action of a catalyst, ammonia or urea is sprayed to reduce NOx in the exhaust into nitrogen (N2) and H2O; the main function of the ASC is to eliminate excess or escaped ammonia (NH3): excess NH3 is oxidized into N2, N2O and NOx; at the same time, the reaction of NOx and NH3 is catalyzed into N2. The exhaust treatment system further includes a DOC front temperature sensor 50 arranged on the exhaust pipe before the DOC to measure the exhaust temperature before the DOC; a DPF front temperature sensor 60 arranged on the exhaust pipe before the DPF to measure the exhaust temperature before the DPF, and estimate the amount of carbon deposition and the amount of HC injection during regeneration; an SCR front temperature sensor 70 arranged on the exhaust pipe before the SCR to measure the exhaust temperature before the SCR, and calculate the urea spraying temperature and the average temperature of the SCR tank; an SCR rear temperature sensor 80 arranged on the exhaust pipe after the SCR to measure the exhaust temperature after the SCR, and calculate the average temperature of the SCR tank; and an SCR downstream NOx sensor 90 arranged on the exhaust pipe after the SCR to measure the NOx value after the SCR, and calculate the efficiency of the SCR.

[0043] Figure 2 A schematic diagram showing the relationship between the NOx model value and the NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor when the original engine emission changes, wherein the original engine emission model can be pre-calibrated according to the actual engine, and when the original engine emission is unbiased, the NOx model value and the measured value of the downstream NOx sensor are not much different. When the original engine emission NOx value deviates due to various factors, the NOx model value remains unchanged, but the original emission measurement value of the downstream NOx sensor changes with the change of the real original emission of the engine.

[0044] Based on this, the embodiment of the application provides a correction method for the original emission model NOx value, Figure 3A flowchart of a correction method of an original exhaust model NOx value provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. The correction method is suitable for an engine provided with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device. The SCR device comprises a downstream NOx sensor arranged downstream of an output end of the SCR device. The reference Figure 3 The correction method comprises the following steps.

[0045] S110, obtaining a current working state of the engine.

[0046] Optionally, obtaining the current working state of the engine comprises the following steps.

[0047] Obtaining a urea injection amount of the engine and a current ammonia storage state.

[0048] When the urea injection amount of the engine is zero, the NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor is the original exhaust of the engine. Therefore, when the original exhaust of the engine increases, the NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor will increase; when the original exhaust of the engine decreases, the NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor will decrease. Therefore, in this embodiment, the original exhaust NOx of the engine is measured by the downstream NOx sensor when the urea injection amount of the engine is zero. The current ammonia storage state refers to whether there is urea storage.

[0049] S120, determining whether a correction condition of the original exhaust model NOx value is met according to the current working state.

[0050] It can be understood that if the correction condition of the original exhaust model NOx value is met, the subsequent steps are continued to realize the original exhaust model NOx value. If the correction condition of the original exhaust model NOx value is not met, the current correction can be ended, and whether the correction condition is met is determined again after a preset time.

[0051] Optionally, the correction condition of the original exhaust model NOx value comprises the following conditions.

[0052] The urea injection amount of the engine is zero and lasts for a second preset time;

[0053] The engine is currently in a non-ammonia storage state.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the second preset time can be designed according to actual conditions. In an embodiment, the second preset time can be set to 5 min to 10 min. The condition that the engine is in the non-ammonia storage state can be that the ambient temperature is relatively low, for example, below 180℃, at which time no reaction occurs and the influence of ammonia storage can be ignored, so that the engine is considered to be in the non-ammonia storage state. When the engine is in the ammonia storage state at a relatively high ambient temperature, the storage amount can be completely reacted after 4 min to 5 min.

[0055] S130, if yes, obtaining a first integral value of the NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor in a first preset time and a second integral value of the NOx value in the original exhaust model in the first preset time.

[0056] In implementation, the first preset time period can be designed according to actual conditions, for example, can be set to 5min-10min. In an embodiment, optionally, the second preset time is the same time period as the first preset time, so that the correction time is shortened and the process is simplified.

[0057] S140, determining a correction coefficient according to the first integral value and the second integral value.

[0058] After obtaining the first integral value and the second integral value, the correction coefficient can be determined according to the ratio of the first integral value and the second integral value. Optionally, the correction coefficient is determined according to the first integral value and the second integral value, including:

[0059] According to fac 修正 = NOx 传感器测量积分值 / NOx 模型积分值 Calculate the correction coefficient.

[0060] Wherein, NOx 传感器测量积分值 is the first integral value, and NOx 模型积分值 is the second integral value.

[0061] S150, substituting the correction coefficient into the original exhaust model calibration pulse spectrum to correct the NOx value in the original exhaust model.

[0062] Optionally, the correction coefficient is substituted into the original exhaust model calibration pulse spectrum to correct the NOx value in the original exhaust model, including:

[0063] fac 修正 is multiplied into the calculated original exhaust model calibration pulse spectrum to correct the NOx value in the original exhaust model.

[0064] Wherein, the original exhaust model calibration pulse spectrum can be calibrated by the corresponding engine using the engine test bench, and in implementation, reference can be made to the prior art, and the embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail.

[0065] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the present application uses the downstream NOx sensor of the SCR device to measure the real value of the engine NOx to correct the original exhaust of the engine, calculates the integral comparison of the engine NOx value measured by the downstream NOx sensor and the NOx model value when the correction condition is met, so that the original exhaust model NOx value of the engine can be corrected under the influence of various factors to be closer to the real value, and the product performance is improved.

[0066] It should be noted that the timing of the original exhaust model NOx value correction of the embodiments of the present application is not limited, and can be selected according to actual conditions in specific implementation, for example, in a certain embodiment, the correction can be performed periodically, for example, once every 30 hours, 50 hours, three days, a week, a month, or once per driving cycle, or the correction can be performed under severe conditions such as high humidity (humidity greater than 60%), high altitude, low temperature (below minus 5 degrees Celsius), or the correction time can be shortened (for example, 30 hours to 10 hours) under severe conditions.

[0072] S250, substituting the correction coefficient into the original exhaust model calibration map to correct the NOx value in the original exhaust model.
