DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more than two.

[0020] The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the embodiments of the present invention are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or equipment comprising a series of steps or modules is not necessarily limited to those steps or modules clearly listed, but may include other steps or modules not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or equipment.

[0021] The naming or numbering of the steps in the embodiments of the present invention does not mean that the steps in the method flow must be executed in the time / logical sequence indicated by the naming or numbering. The execution order of the named or numbered process steps can be changed according to the technical purpose to be achieved, as long as the same or similar technical effects can be achieved.

[0022] Reference to an "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] Before presenting the embodiments, the following terms are explained.

[0024] ‌The main functions of ECU (electronic control unit) include receiving input signals from sensors or other devices, storing, calculating, analyzing and processing relevant data and information, outputting execution instructions to realize driving functions, and outputting fault information. ‌ECU receives input signals from sensors and other devices through input interface circuits, and then stores, calculates and analyzes them through microprocessors. The processed data outputs execution instructions through output interface circuits to drive related equipment to work, and can also provide reference voltage to sensors. ‌

[0025] SCR technology (Selective Catalytic Reduction technology) is a technology used to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions in flue gas. SCR technology reacts a reducing agent (such as ammonia or urea) with NOx in flue gas under the action of a catalyst to generate harmless nitrogen and water vapor.

[0026] In the diesel vehicle exhaust treatment system, SCR technology uses a catalyst to inject a reducing agent (usually ammonia or urea) to selectively reduce NOx to N2 and H2O in an oxygen-rich environment. There are two types of catalysts: precious metals and non-precious metals, which can effectively convert NOx into harmless nitrogen and water.

[0027] Working principle of nitrogen oxide sensor When the ignition switch is turned on, the NOx sensor will heat up to 100℃ and then wait for the ECU to send a "dew point" temperature signal. The dew point temperature refers to the temperature at which moisture in the exhaust system no longer condenses. It is usually set between 120℃ and 140℃, and the specific value depends on the outlet temperature of the exhaust system. When the nitrogen oxide sensor receives the dew point temperature signal, it will heat itself to a maximum of 800℃ and start normal operation. At this time, the sensor starts to measure nitrogen oxides and send them to the CAN bus. The engine ECU monitors the emission of nitrogen oxides through this information.

[0028] The role of nitrogen oxide sensors in automobile emission control is as follows: Monitor and control the air-fuel mixture ratio of the engine: The NOx sensor can instantly capture the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas and transmit signals to the ECU through a feedback mechanism, helping the ECU to accurately control the air-fuel mixture ratio, promote efficient combustion process, and reduce exhaust emissions.

[0029] Optimize ignition timing: Based on real-time feedback of nitrogen oxide content, the ECU adjusts the ignition advance angle to ensure that the engine runs in the optimal working state, improve fuel utilization and improve emission performance.

[0030] Fault identification and protection mechanism: Once the NOx sensor detects that exhaust emissions exceed the standard or it fails, it will quickly send a warning signal to the ECU to prevent the engine from continuing to run in an unfavorable state and ensure driving safety.

[0031] ‌Constitutes the cornerstone of the emission control system‌: The monitoring and adjustment data provided by the nitrogen oxide sensor provides important input information for other emission control components (such as three-way catalytic converter, particulate filter, etc.), promoting the smooth operation of the entire emission control system‌.

[0032] The present invention provides a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis method, device, electronic equipment and medium, which are described below respectively.

[0033] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of an embodiment of a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis method provided by the present invention is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis method is applied to ECU, including: S101, when it is determined that the target nitrogen oxide sensor exceeds the dew point, and the oxygen concentration of the target nitrogen oxide sensor is enabled, and the engine is determined to be in a normal combustion mode, and the engine exhaust flow rate is determined to be greater than a first threshold, obtaining a switching time of the target nitrogen oxide sensor from a lean oxygen mode to an oxygen rich mode, and obtaining the number of times the target nitrogen oxide sensor switches from the lean oxygen mode to the oxygen rich mode; S102: Determine whether the target nitrogen oxide sensor is faulty based on the conversion time and the number of times.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present embodiment provides a method for diagnosing a nitrogen oxide sensor fault, which obtains the conversion time of the target nitrogen oxide sensor from the lean oxygen mode to the rich oxygen mode, and the number of times the target nitrogen oxide sensor changes from the lean oxygen mode to the rich oxygen mode, when determining that the target nitrogen oxide sensor is over the dew point, determining that the oxygen concentration of the target nitrogen oxide sensor is enabled, determining that the engine is in the normal combustion mode, and determining that the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than the first threshold value; based on the conversion time and the number of times, determines whether the target nitrogen oxide sensor is faulty. The present invention defines a working condition suitable for sensor diagnosis, and when the engine enters the working condition, performs a nitrogen oxide sensor fault diagnosis based on the minimum conversion time of the engine from the lean oxygen mode to the rich oxygen mode, thereby improving the accuracy of nitrogen oxide sensor fault diagnosis.

[0035] It should be noted that the present invention is applicable to diesel engines using the SCR technology. It is understandable that the present invention may also be applicable to other types of vehicles that require the use of the SCR technology.

[0036] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the target nitrogen oxide sensor is a downstream nitrogen oxide sensor, which is located in the exhaust system to monitor the exhaust gas after combustion, especially the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). In the embodiment of the present invention, the conversion time of the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor mode change is greater than a preset threshold under special working conditions to determine whether the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor measurement value is reasonable. If it is reasonable, it is determined that the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor is not faulty, and if it is unreasonable, it is determined that the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor is faulty.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, obtaining the switching time of the target nitrogen oxide sensor from the lean oxygen mode to the rich oxygen mode includes: Get the minimum switching time of the target NOx sensor from lean mode to rich mode.

[0038] Specifically, let's first introduce the oxygen-lean mode and oxygen-rich mode. The oxygen-lean mode means that the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas reaches a first preset value, at which time the sensor output voltage is low. The oxygen-rich mode means that the concentration of oxygen in the exhaust gas reaches a second preset value, at which time the sensor output voltage is high.

[0039] Because the NOx sensor can accurately measure the oxygen content in the exhaust gas of the car and control the combustion state of the engine in real time, it plays a very important role in reducing vehicle emissions. If the NOx sensor does not work properly, it will lead to poor engine acceleration, increased fuel consumption, and affect emission performance. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the rationality of the NOx sensor detection value.

[0040] The above introduces the lean mode and the rich mode. The following describes the conversion time in detail. In a driving cycle, that is, from the vehicle power-on to the shutdown process, the target nitrogen oxide sensor detects the process from the lean mode to the rich mode several times. Each process from the lean mode to the rich mode has a conversion time. The minimum conversion time among the conversion times is obtained.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, determining whether the target nitrogen oxide sensor is faulty based on the conversion time and the number of times includes: In a case where it is determined that the conversion time is greater than a second threshold and the number of times is greater than a third threshold, it is determined that the target nitrogen oxygen sensor is faulty.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, when it is determined that the conversion time is less than a second threshold and the number of times is greater than a third threshold, it is determined that the target nitrogen oxygen sensor has no fault.

[0043] It should be noted that the NOx sensor over-dew point means that the operating temperature of the sensor in the exhaust system reaches or exceeds its dew point temperature, causing the sensor to malfunction or be damaged. The dew point temperature refers to the temperature point at which moisture in the exhaust system condenses. If this temperature point is exceeded, moisture will condense into liquid water, which may damage the sensor.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, determining a target nitrogen oxide sensor dew point includes: Obtain the working environment temperature and dew point temperature of the target NOx sensor; A target nitrogen oxide sensor dew point is determined based on the operating environment temperature and the dew point temperature.

[0045] It should be noted that the NOx sensor oxygen concentration enable means that the NOx sensor can achieve more accurate measurement and control by measuring the oxygen concentration when detecting the NOx concentration in the engine exhaust. The NOx sensor determines the NOx content by measuring the concentration difference between oxygen and NOx in the exhaust gas, and transmits this information to the engine control unit (ECU), thereby adjusting the engine's operating state and reducing exhaust emissions.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, determining the target nitrogen oxide sensor oxygen concentration is enabled includes: The oxygen concentration value of the target nitrogen oxygen sensor is obtained, and the target nitrogen oxygen sensor oxygen concentration enable is determined based on the oxygen concentration value, that is, it is determined that the target nitrogen oxygen sensor is in a normal working state.

[0047] It should be noted that the main function of the NOx control mode is to reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx). Specifically, NOx is formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures (above 1370°C). Therefore, reducing the combustion temperature can effectively reduce the generation of NOx. The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system is a key technology to achieve this goal. The EGR system introduces part of the exhaust gas discharged by the engine into the intake pipe, mixes it with fresh air and enters the cylinder, and uses the CO2 in the exhaust gas to absorb heat, thereby reducing the combustion temperature and reducing the generation of NOx. However, the control of the EGR system requires a balance. Excessive exhaust gas recirculation will cause poor ignition of the mixture, increase fuel consumption and reduce power. Therefore, the control of the EGR amount needs to minimize the emission of NOx while ensuring the normal operation of the engine. The main goal of the exhaust temperature management mode is to manage the exhaust temperature of the engine and ensure that the engine runs at the optimal operating temperature, thereby improving fuel economy and engine performance. Only when the engine is at the right temperature can it maintain excellent operating conditions, burn more fully and be more efficient. If the engine temperature is too low, it will lead to incomplete fuel combustion, increased friction and increased fuel consumption; if the temperature is too high, it will damage parts and reduce the lubrication effect of the oil. Therefore, exhaust temperature management optimizes the cooling system to ensure that the engine is neither too cold nor too hot and is always in the best condition. Exhaust temperature management not only focuses on thermal management at high temperatures, but also includes the warm-up process at low temperatures to ensure that the engine can operate efficiently under different working conditions.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the normal combustion mode includes: One or more of the NOx control mode and the exhaust temperature management mode.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the ECU obtains the combustion mode of the engine by acquiring data from a sensor on the cylinder.

[0050] The present invention determines the rationality of the measurement value of the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor, that is, whether the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor has a fault, based on the fact that the response time of the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor mode change is greater than the calibration value under special working conditions, thereby solving the problem of low accuracy caused by comparing the oxygen content measurement value of the downstream nitrogen oxide sensor with the model calculated value in the prior art.

[0051] In order to better implement a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis method in an embodiment of the present invention, based on a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis method, correspondingly, as Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis device, a nitrogen oxygen sensor fault diagnosis device 200 includes: The data acquisition module 201 is used to obtain the switching time of the target nitrogen oxide sensor from the lean oxygen mode to the oxygen rich mode, and the number of times the target nitrogen oxide sensor switches from the lean oxygen mode to the oxygen rich mode when it is determined that the target nitrogen oxide sensor exceeds the dew point, determines that the oxygen concentration of the target nitrogen oxide sensor is enabled, determines that the engine is in the normal combustion mode, and determines that the engine exhaust flow rate is greater than a first threshold value; The fault judgment module 202 is used to determine whether the target nitrogen oxide sensor is faulty based on the conversion time and the number of times.
