[0055] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments only constitute a 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 those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] In the present application, the terms "comprise", "contain" or any other variant thereof are 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 statement "comprising a" does not exclude the presence of another identical element in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0057] From the background, the existing diagnosis method of the aging state of the front oxygen sensor is to detect the whole engine when the remaining actuators of the engine fail. In the process of overall detection, it is determined whether the front oxygen sensor has a problem through experience, and the aging state of the front oxygen sensor cannot be detected in real time. Therefore, how to detect the aging state of the front oxygen sensor in real time is a problem to be solved by the present application.

[0058] In order to solve the above problems, the present application discloses a front oxygen sensor aging state diagnosis method and device, which collects the crankshaft angle, camshaft angle and injection phase matched with the engine in real time. If the crankshaft angle, camshaft angle and injection phase meet the synchronization condition, the injection phase and speed during the injection action of the fuel injector are obtained, and a plurality of Nernst voltage maximum values within a preset number of periods are obtained. According to the injection phase and speed, the first average period required for a preset number of injection actions is calculated.

According to the first average period, the second average period and the preset threshold, the front oxygen sensor aging state diagnosis is performed. Through the above scheme, the engine injection state is judged by combining the engine injection phase and engine speed, so as to analyze the excess air coefficient fluctuation detected by the front oxygen sensor position in theory, and then judge whether the front oxygen sensor is aging according to the first average period, the second average period and the preset threshold. The aging state of the front oxygen sensor can be effectively and timely detected. In addition, the control logic of the electronic control system is guaranteed, so that the air-fuel ratio is always maintained near the set value, so that the fuel can be fully burned, and the exhaust emission is reduced. The specific implementation mode is specifically described in the following embodiments.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the front oxygen sensor aging state diagnosis method disclosed by the embodiment of the present application mainly includes the following steps:

[0060] S101: Collecting the crankshaft angle, camshaft angle and injection phase matched with the engine in real time.

[0061] The crankshaft angle of the engine can be collected in real time by the crankshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position sensor is a sensor for detecting the crankshaft angle and the piston top dead center of the engine. It is usually installed behind the crankshaft pulley or near the flywheel. Some sensors are installed on the cylinder block and driven by the crankshaft. The function of the crankshaft position sensor is to determine the position of the crankshaft, i.e. the crankshaft angle.

[0062] The camshaft angle of the engine can be collected in real time by a camshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is a sensor for detecting the rotational position of the camshaft. The camshaft position sensor is a cylinder identification and positioning device that inputs the camshaft position signal as the main control signal for the cylinder ECU ignition control.

[0063] The injection phase matched by the engine can be collected in real time by a phase sensor.

[0064] S102: If the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle, and the injection phase meet the synchronization condition, the injection phase and the rotation speed during the injection action of the injector are obtained, and a plurality of Nernst voltage maximum values within a preset number of periods are obtained.

[0065] The crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle, and the injection phase are compared, i.e., whether the crankshaft angle / camshaft angle is consistent with the phase angle of the injection action execution. When the crankshaft angle / camshaft angle is consistent with the phase angle of the injection phase, the injector or the jet begins to execute the injection action.

[0066] If the crankshaft / camshaft angle is not consistent with the injection phase, the injection phase continues to be collected and matched until the phase is consistent. When the phase is consistent, the system begins to detect the aging state of the front oxygen sensor.

[0067] The rotation speed represents the number of revolutions per minute of the engine.

[0068] Specifically, if the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle, and the injection phase meet the synchronization condition, the injection phase and the rotation speed during the injection action of the injector are obtained, and a plurality of Nernst voltage maximum values within a preset number of periods are obtained, as shown in A1-A3.

[0069] A1: The crankshaft angle and the camshaft angle are compared with the injection phase, respectively.

[0070] A2: When the crankshaft angle is consistent with the injection phase, and the camshaft angle is consistent with the injection phase, it is determined that the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle, and the injection phase meet the synchronization condition.

[0071] The aging system for detecting the aging state of the front oxygen sensor collects the crankshaft and camshaft phase angles at the beginning of the detection, and judges whether they are consistent with the phase angle of the injection action execution. If they remain consistent, it is considered that the injection action has been executed, and the aging state begins to be detected.

[0072] A3: Under the condition that the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle, and the injection phase meet the synchronization condition, the injector executes the injection action to obtain the injection phase and the rotation speed during the injection action of the injector, and a plurality of Nernst voltage maximum values within a preset number of periods (such as a) are continuously collected.

[0073] Wherein, the value of a is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0074] After the fuel injector performs the injection action, the exhaust gas generated after a series of ignition combustion actions reaches the three-way catalytic system quickly, and the Nernst voltage signal is detected by the front oxygen sensor and fed back to the electronic control unit. In this regard, according to the fuel injection combustion characteristics of the internal combustion engine, the detected Nernst voltage change period should be consistent with the change period of the number of fuel injection cylinders of the internal combustion engine. However, the Nernst voltage fed back by the aging front oxygen sensor will show a phenomenon of slow response signal.

[0075] The front oxygen sensor is located behind the combustion chamber. The front oxygen sensor is usually used to detect the excess air coefficient of the burned gas, and then feed back to the electronic control unit to complete the closed-loop control, so that the air-fuel ratio is maintained near 14.7.

[0076] The Nernst voltage is a feedback electrical signal used by the oxygen sensor to detect the excess air coefficient, which is strongly related to the excess air coefficient.

[0077] During the operation of the front oxygen sensor, when the engine mixture concentration is controlled in a very narrow range centered on the theoretical air-fuel ratio 14.7, the fuel combustion is sufficient, and the carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in the exhaust gas are low. When the engine is running in the idling condition, the fuel injection amount of the injection system increases, and part of the fuel cannot be fully burned and is discharged into the exhaust pipe. The unburned fuel continues to burn in the exhaust pipe, generating carbon particles, which adhere to the surface of the front oxygen sensor and cause the protective layer to peel off. The oxygen sensor will also accelerate the aging due to the high surface temperature, causing abnormal detection of the air-fuel ratio. In this regard, based on the fuel injection system characteristics of the electronic control unit, the application proposes a method for detecting the aging state of the front oxygen sensor.

[0078] When the crankshaft angle and the injection phase are inconsistent, or the camshaft angle and the injection phase are inconsistent, it is determined that the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle and the injection phase do not meet the synchronization condition. Under the condition that the crankshaft angle, the camshaft angle and the injection phase do not meet the synchronization condition, the crankshaft angle and the camshaft angle of the engine are continuously collected and matched with the injection phase until the crankshaft angle and the camshaft angle are consistent with the injection phase.

[0079] S103: According to the injection phase and the speed, calculate the first average period required for a preset number of injection actions.

[0080] In S103, after performing the aging detection, the Nernst voltage value fed back by the front oxygen sensor is collected, and the maximum value of a preset number (a) of periods is continuously calculated to ensure that the detected Nernst voltage is indeed a period of a. Then, the average time of fluctuation of the Nernst voltage per period is calculated. At the same time, the average period time required for a injection operation is calculated, that is, the first average period, in combination with the injection phase and the current speed value.

[0081] Based on the characteristic phenomenon of the aging of the oxygen sensor, once the aging occurs, the change period of the Nernst voltage signal of the oxygen sensor will be delayed. In this regard, the execution time of the injection operation (which affects the change of the Nernst voltage) is compared with the actual response time of the Nernst voltage.

[0082] Specifically, according to the injection phase and the speed, the first average period required for a preset number of injection operations is calculated, as shown in B1-B3.

[0083] B1: According to the injection phase, the corresponding number of teeth of the crankshaft or camshaft required for a preset number of injection operations is counted.

[0084] B2: The corresponding time of a single tooth is converted according to the speed.

[0085] B3: The corresponding time of a single tooth is multiplied by the corresponding number of teeth to obtain the first average period required for a preset number of injection operations.

[0086] The preset number is set according to the actual situation, which is not limited in the present application.

[0087] S104: According to the maximum values of the Nernst voltage in a plurality of preset periods, the second average period is calculated.

[0088] In S104, the maximum values of the Nernst voltage in a plurality of preset periods collected continuously are averaged to obtain the second average period.

[0089] Regardless of whether the front oxygen sensor is aging or not, when the speed is stable, the response time of the Nernst voltage of the front oxygen sensor will show a nearly stable periodical change. The change period of the Nernst voltage, that is, the second average period, can be obtained according to the continuously changing high level position or other methods.

[0090] S105: According to the first average period, the second average period, and a preset threshold value, the aging state of the front oxygen sensor is diagnosed.

[0091] After the result (first average period, second average period) is calculated, comparison is made according to the first average period, the second average period and the preset threshold value. If the period difference meets the set threshold value, it is considered that the front oxygen sensor has no aging phenomenon; otherwise, there is an aging phenomenon.

[0092] The preset threshold value is set according to actual conditions, which is not limited in the present application.

[0093] According to the first average period, the second average period and the preset threshold value, the process of diagnosing the aging state of the front oxygen sensor is performed, as shown in C1-C4.

[0094] C1: The first average period and the second average period are calculated to obtain a difference value.

[0095] C2: According to the difference value and the preset threshold value, the aging state of the front oxygen sensor is diagnosed.

[0096] C3: In the process of diagnosing the aging state of the front oxygen sensor, if the difference value is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, it is determined that the front oxygen sensor has no aging phenomenon.

[0097] C4: If the difference value is greater than the preset threshold value, it is determined that the front oxygen sensor has an aging phenomenon.

[0098] It should be noted that each injection will have a process from dilution to enrichment and then to dilution for the exhaust aftertreatment system. For such a process, the Nernst voltage fed back by the front oxygen sensor should be a process from low to high and then to low. In this regard, if the exhaust has a circulation process and the Nernst voltage does not, it can be considered that the corresponding period is slow and there is an aging phenomenon.

[0099] If there is an aging phenomenon, it is recommended not to be included in the enterprise standard / specification.

[0100] In order to facilitate the understanding of a method for diagnosing the aging state of a front oxygen sensor, combined with the above method for diagnosing the aging state of a front oxygen sensor, an example is given as follows: Figure 2

[0101] Figure 2 Among them, the crank angle and the cam angle are collected;

[0102] It is judged whether the crank angle, the camshaft angle and the injection phase meet the synchronization condition;

[0103] If not, return to execute the step of collecting the crank angle and the cam angle;

[0104] If yes, the Nernst voltage value of the front oxygen sensor is collected, and the aging state of the front oxygen sensor is detected;

[0105] ​The average period of a injection action execution, that is, a first average period, is calculated according to the injection phase and the rotation speed;

[0106] The maximum Nernst voltage values of a number of continuous periods are collected, and a second average period is calculated;

[0107] The difference between the first average period and the second average period is calculated, and whether the difference meets a preset threshold is compared;

[0108] If yes, it is determined that the front oxygen sensor has no aging phenomenon;

[0109] If no, it is determined that the front oxygen sensor has an aging phenomenon.

[0110] The application can effectively detect the aging state of the front oxygen sensor, thereby guaranteeing the control logic of the electronic control system, keeping the air-fuel ratio around the set value, enabling the fuel to be fully combusted, and reducing exhaust emission. The key point of the application is to combine the engine injection phase. By judging the engine injection state, the fluctuation of the excess air coefficient detected by the front oxygen sensor in theory is analyzed, and then it is determined whether the front oxygen sensor has aging.

[0111] The application has the following beneficial effects: The engine injection state is judged by combining the engine injection phase and the engine rotation speed, the fluctuation of the excess air coefficient detected by the front oxygen sensor in theory is analyzed, and then it is determined whether the front oxygen sensor has aging according to the first average period, the second average period, and the preset threshold. The aging state of the front oxygen sensor can be effectively and timely detected. In addition, the control logic of the electronic control system is guaranteed, the air-fuel ratio is kept around the set value, the fuel can be fully combusted, and exhaust emission is reduced.
