[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "including" and "having" and their variations involved in the documents of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0042] The DOC (diesel oxide catalyst) in the engine exhaust after-treatment system can reduce the chemical reaction activation energy of HC, CO and NO in the exhaust gas, allowing these substances to undergo oxidation reaction with oxygen in the exhaust gas and ultimately convert into CO2, NO2 and H2O.

[0043] However, when the amount of HC in the exhaust gas exceeds the standard, causing the DOC to be covered by excessive HC, it will affect the conversion efficiency of the engine exhaust emission after-treatment system.

[0044] Based on this, a method, device, electronic device and storage medium for controlling an engine provided in an embodiment of the present application can determine the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap during the process of the engine emitting exhaust gas, and determine whether the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas exceeds the standard based on the first comparison result of the first upstream temperature and the first threshold value, and the second comparison result of the first upstream temperature and the second upstream temperature. When it is identified that the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas exceeds the standard, the control parameters of the engine can be adjusted in time to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons emitted by the engine. In this way, the DOC can be prevented from being covered by excessive hydrocarbons, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the engine exhaust emission after-treatment system.

[0045] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for controlling an engine provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown, and the method can be performed by an ECU (electronic control unit, vehicle controller). Figure 1 As shown, the method for controlling the engine may include the following steps:

[0046] Step S101 : in the process of exhaust gas emission from the engine, determining a first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and a second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap.

[0047] In order to reduce pollutants in engine exhaust, it is usually necessary to install an engine exhaust aftertreatment system in the vehicle. Figure 2As shown, the engine exhaust after-treatment system may include DOC (diesel oxide catalyst), DPF (diesel particulate filter), SCR (selective catalytic reduction) and ASC (ammonia slip catalyst).

[0048] Among them, the DOC in the engine exhaust after-treatment system is coated with precious metal catalysts (such as Pt, etc.) on a honeycomb ceramic carrier, which can reduce the chemical reaction activation energy of HC, CO and NO in the exhaust gas, allowing these substances to undergo oxidation reaction with oxygen in the exhaust gas and eventually convert into CO2, NO2 and H2O.

[0049] The DPF in the engine exhaust after-treatment system mainly filters and captures particulate matter in the engine exhaust through diffusion, deposition and impact mechanisms. When the engine exhaust passes through the DPF, the particulate matter is captured in the filter element of the filter body, and the remaining cleaner exhaust is discharged into the atmosphere.

[0050] The SCR in the engine exhaust after-treatment system is used to reduce the content of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the engine exhaust in the engine after-treatment application. Nitrogen oxides are one of the main harmful components of engine exhaust. The working principle of SCR is to inject a reducing agent into the exhaust pipe. Under the catalytic action of the catalyst, the reducing agent can react with nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the concentration of nitrogen oxides.

[0051] The ASC in the engine exhaust after-treatment system is set at the rear end of the SCR, which can reduce the ammonia (NH3) leaked from the exhaust gas at the rear end of the SCR through catalytic oxidation.

[0052] exist Figure 2 On the basis of the engine exhaust emission after-treatment system shown, in order to determine the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, temperature sensors can be respectively arranged upstream of the oxidation catalyst and upstream of the particulate matter trap, wherein the temperature sensor upstream of the oxidation catalyst is used to obtain the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst, and the temperature sensor upstream of the particulate matter trap is used to obtain the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap.

[0053] When the engine exhaust after-treatment system leaves the factory, it is possible that the temperature sensor upstream of the oxidation catalyst and the temperature sensor upstream of the particulate matter trap are installed in reverse. Therefore, before determining whether the hydrocarbon content in the engine exhaust exceeds the standard based on the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, it is possible to first determine whether the temperature sensor is installed in reverse.

[0054] In a specific implementation, it can be determined whether the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is less than a preset third threshold value, wherein the preset third threshold value is less than or equal to the response temperature of the oxidation catalyst for the oxidation reaction. Within the preset duration of engine startup, when the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is less than the preset third threshold value, it means that the oxidation catalyst has not yet undergone an oxidation reaction and will not release heat to the downstream of the oxidation catalyst. Since the heat of the engine exhaust gas is lost during the transmission process of the engine exhaust emission after-treatment system, therefore, when the oxidation catalyst has not yet undergone an oxidation reaction, the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst should be greater than the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap.

[0055] In some embodiments, within a preset duration of engine startup, if the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is less than the third threshold value, and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is less than or equal to the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, it indicates that the temperature sensor upstream of the oxidation catalyst and the temperature sensor upstream of the particulate matter trap are installed in reverse. At this time, the ECU can output a warning message through a display device or a speaker in the vehicle to prompt the user to perform maintenance.

[0056] In other embodiments, within the preset duration of engine startup, if the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is less than the third threshold value, and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, it means that the temperature sensor upstream of the oxidation catalyst and the temperature sensor upstream of the particulate matter trap are not installed in reverse. At this time, the subsequent operation of determining whether the hydrocarbon content in the engine exhaust exceeds the standard can be performed.

[0057] Step S102 , determining whether the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas exceeds a standard according to a first comparison result between the first upstream temperature and the first threshold value, and a second comparison result between the first upstream temperature and the second upstream temperature.

[0058] The first threshold is the response temperature of the oxidation catalyst at which an oxidation reaction occurs, the first comparison result is used to indicate whether an oxidation reaction occurs in the oxidation catalyst, and the second comparison result is used to indicate the severity of the oxidation reaction.

[0059] After the ECU obtains the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, it can first compare the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst with the preset first threshold value to obtain a first comparison result. Since the first threshold value is the response temperature of the oxidation catalyst for the oxidation reaction, if the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than the first threshold value, it means that the oxidation catalyst has an oxidation reaction and releases heat to the downstream.

[0060] After the ECU obtains the first comparison result that the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than the first threshold, it can continue to compare the magnitude relationship between the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap to obtain a second comparison result. If the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap is greater than the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst, and the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is greater than the preset second threshold, it means that the amount of hydrocarbons attached to the oxidation catalyst is large, resulting in a violent oxidation reaction and a large amount of heat. At this time, it can be determined that the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas discharged by the engine exceeds the standard, and the control parameters of the engine need to be adjusted accordingly.

[0061] However, it should be noted that the various thresholds in the embodiments of the present application can be set according to actual usage requirements. For example, as the response temperature of the oxidation-reduction reaction of the oxidation catalyst, the first threshold can be set to 200°C, or the first threshold can also be set to 240°C. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0062] Step S103: if it is determined that the amount of carbon and hydrogen in the exhaust gas exceeds the standard, the control parameters of the engine are adjusted to reduce the carbon and hydrogen emissions of the engine.

[0063] If it is determined according to step S102 that the amount of carbon and hydrogen in the exhaust gas emitted by the engine exceeds the standard, the carbon and hydrogen emission of the engine can be reduced by adjusting the control parameters of the engine.

[0064] Exemplarily, the common rail pressure of the engine and / or the injection advance angle of the engine can be adjusted according to the corresponding relationship between the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the common rail pressure of the engine and / or the injection advance angle of the engine.

[0065] The common rail pressure of the engine refers to the pressure of the fuel in the common rail pipe in the high-pressure common rail system. The common rail system is a fuel supply method that can completely separate the generation of injection pressure and the injection process from each other. The high-pressure fuel is delivered to the common rail pipe by a high-pressure oil pump. By precisely controlling the oil pressure in the common rail pipe, the pressure of the high-pressure oil pipe is independent of the engine speed, which can greatly reduce the change of the engine fuel supply pressure with the engine speed.

[0066] Therefore, in some embodiments, the common rail pressure of the engine may be adjusted according to the corresponding relationship between the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the common rail pressure of the engine.

[0067] The change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is inversely proportional to the common rail pressure of the engine. That is, the faster the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst, the lower the common rail pressure of the engine after adjustment.

[0068] The injection advance angle of the engine refers to the angle at which the injection system injects fuel before ignition during the operation of the engine. The size of this angle directly affects the combustion efficiency and power performance of the engine. When the injection advance angle of the engine is too large, the pre-combustion period will be long, causing the engine to work roughly. When the injection advance angle of the engine is too small, the combustion process will be delayed too much, the maximum pressure value will drop, and the thermal efficiency of the engine will be significantly reduced.

[0069] Therefore, in other embodiments, the injection advance angle of the engine may be adjusted according to the corresponding relationship between the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the injection advance angle of the engine.

[0070] The change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is inversely proportional to the corresponding relationship of the injection advance angle of the engine. That is, the faster the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst, the lower the injection advance angle of the adjusted engine.

[0071] In other embodiments, the injection advance angle of the engine and the common rail pressure of the engine may also be adjusted based on the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst. Since the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst is inversely proportional to the corresponding relationship between the injection advance angle of the engine and the common rail pressure of the engine, the faster the change rate of the difference between the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap and the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst, the lower the common rail pressure and injection advance angle of the engine after adjustment.

[0072] A method for controlling an engine provided by an embodiment of the present application can determine a first upstream temperature of an oxidation catalyst and a second upstream temperature of a particulate matter trap during exhaust gas emission from the engine, and determine whether an oxidation catalyst undergoes an oxidation reaction to generate heat based on a first comparison result between the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and a first threshold value. Next, based on a second comparison result between the first upstream temperature of the oxidation catalyst and the second upstream temperature of the particulate matter trap, it can be determined whether the oxidation reaction occurring in the oxidation catalyst is violent, thereby determining whether the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas emitted by the engine exceeds the standard. When it is identified that the amount of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas exceeds the standard, the control parameters of the engine can be adjusted in a timely manner to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons emitted by the engine. In this way, the oxidation catalyst can be prevented from being covered by excessive hydrocarbons, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the engine exhaust emission after-treatment system.
