Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle inspection, and in particular relates to a method, system, terminal and storage medium for solving false alarm problems of a vehicle urea system. Background Art

[0002] In the current vehicle emission control system, the urea system plays a vital role. Its core function is to significantly reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides by purifying the exhaust gas, while optimizing the engine performance and fuel consumption, thereby achieving the goal of reducing costs and reducing environmental pollution. However, the performance of the urea system is easily affected by the external environment, especially the change of temperature.

[0003] Under high temperature conditions, urea may deteriorate, resulting in a significant reduction in its purification effect. Under low temperature conditions, urea may freeze, which will not only block the system pipes, but may also damage the system. To make matters more complicated, temperature changes may also cause bubbles to form in the urea solution. Although these bubbles are small, once they adhere to the surface of the urea level sensor or concentration sensor, they will interfere with the signal acquisition, causing the system to be unable to accurately identify the level and concentration of the urea solution.

[0004] Currently, the industry mainly uses ultrasonic technology to detect the level and concentration of urea solution. This technology has the advantages of simple structure, easy reading, and convenient installation and maintenance. However, ultrasonic sensors are easily affected by bubbles and impurities in the solution during the detection process. In particular, bubbles are generated frequently when the urea solution experiences temperature fluctuations or large liquid disturbances. Once these bubbles adhere to the emitting or reflecting surface of the ultrasonic sensor, the system detection accuracy will decrease, or even cause false alarms.

[0005] The generation of false alarms not only affects the normal operation of the vehicle, but may also cause serious problems such as torque limitation and inability to start. In order to solve this problem, the industry has been exploring more accurate and reliable urea system detection methods. However, most existing methods only focus on the collection and analysis of a single signal, while ignoring the comprehensive impact of multiple environmental factors on system performance.

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings 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.

The terms used in the specification of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of a method for resolving a false alarm of a vehicle urea system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The execution subject may be a vehicle urea system false alarm solution system. According to different requirements, the order of the steps in the flow chart may be changed, and some may be omitted.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes: Step 110, after the vehicle is powered on, the temperature signal of the urea solution in the urea tank, the liquid level signal of the urea solution, the concentration signal of the urea solution and the pressure value of the urea system are collected by a signal collection component installed inside the urea tank of the vehicle; and the nitrogen oxide emission value is collected by a nitrogen oxide sensor installed at the exhaust emission position of the vehicle; and the collected temperature signal, liquid level signal, concentration signal, pressure value of the urea system and nitrogen oxide emission value are transmitted to the post-processing controller of the vehicle; Step 120, the post-processing controller compares the received temperature signal, liquid level signal, and concentration signal with the corresponding preset signal thresholds, respectively, to determine whether the received acquisition signal is abnormal; and when the liquid level signal of the urea solution is abnormal, the post-processing controller determines whether the urea system has a urea liquid level false alarm by comparing the pressure value of the urea system with the preset pressure value; and when the concentration signal is abnormal, the post-processing controller determines whether the urea system has a urea concentration false alarm by comparing the nitrogen oxide emission value with the preset nitrogen oxide emission value; Step 130, when it is determined that the urea system has a urea level false alarm, the post-processing controller controls the start of the degassing device to remove the bubbles on the surface of the urea level sensor in the signal acquisition component, and corrects the urea level signal; and when it is determined that the urea system has a urea concentration false alarm, the post-processing controller controls the start of the urea pump and the three-way control valve installed at the urea pump, and self-circulates the target urea solution while ensuring the normal operation of the urea system, removes the bubbles on the surface of the urea concentration sensor in the signal acquisition component through the self-circulation, and corrects the urea concentration signal.

[0036] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the following is a further description of the false alarm solution of the vehicle urea system provided by the present invention based on the principle of the false alarm solution of the vehicle urea system of the present invention and the process of solving the false alarm of the vehicle urea system in the embodiment.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the process by which the post-processing controller analyzes the received temperature signal, liquid level signal, concentration signal, pressure value of the urea system and nitrogen oxide emission value and resolves false alarms is as follows: L1, the post-processing controller determines whether the received temperature signal is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold; if so, go to S1; if not, go to L3; S1, start the vehicle at low temperature, control the start-up heating module to defrost the urea system, and go to L2; L2, judging whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value; if not, go to S1; if yes, go to S3; L3, determine whether the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data; if so, go to S3; if not, go to S2; S2, control to start the urea pump to build pressure, and go to L4; S3: The vehicle runs normally, the urea injection system is controlled to start working, and the process goes to L5; L4, judging whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value; if so, go to S4; if not, go to S8; S4, the vehicle is started normally, the urea system starts to work, it is determined that there is a false alarm of urea liquid level in the urea system, and the process goes to S5; S5, control the start of the degassing device to remove the bubbles on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal acquisition component, and correct the urea liquid level signal; and go to L3; L5, determine whether the concentration signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the first preset concentration threshold and less than or equal to the second preset concentration threshold, and the first preset concentration threshold is less than the second preset concentration threshold; if not, go to L6; if yes, go to S7; L6. Determine whether the received nitrogen oxide emission value is greater than or equal to the preset nitrogen oxide emission value; if not, go to S6; if yes, go to S8; S6, control the start of the urea pump and the three-way control valve, and self-circulate the target urea solution while ensuring the normal operation of the urea system, remove the bubbles on the surface of the urea concentration sensor in the signal acquisition component through self-circulation, and correct the urea concentration signal; and go to L5; S7. Determine that the urea system and the vehicle operate normally; S8. Determine that there is a fault in the urea system and stop the vehicle for inspection.

[0038] Specifically, L1: After the vehicle is started, the collected urea temperature to is compared with the preset temperature threshold T0. When to≤T0, the post-treatment controller controls the urea system to enter the heating mode S1; the urea system is thawed by the heating mode; when to>T0, there is no risk of icing in the urea system, and the post-treatment controller controls the system to enter L3; L2: Compare and judge the collected urea system pressure value P with the preset urea system pressure value P0. If the conditions are met, enter S3; if not, enter S1. L2 is used to judge the pressure buildup of the urea system in the thawing mode. If the pressure cannot be built, the heating mode is maintained. If the pressure can be built, the urea system can be started normally.

[0039] L3: Compare and judge the collected urea solution level V with the preset level V0. If the level meets the requirements, enter S3; if not, enter S2. This determines whether the urea level meets the urea system startup requirements, so as to determine the next control mode selection.

[0040] L4: Compare and judge the collected urea system pressure value P and the preset urea system pressure P0. If they meet, enter S4; if not, enter S8; judge the pressure-building capacity of the urea pump in normal mode through L4. If the pressure can be built, it means that there is a false alarm of the system liquid level. If the pressure cannot be built, there is insufficient urea in the urea system or a urea system failure. In addition, judge whether the pressure value of the urea system after each pressure build-up is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value, and judge the pressure-building capacity of the urea pump; if the urea pump can build pressure, go to S4 and judge that there is a false alarm of the urea liquid level in the urea system; if the urea pump cannot build pressure, go to S8 and judge that there is a lack of urea in the urea system and a urea lack signal, or judge that there is a failure in the urea system.

[0041] L5: Compare and judge the concentration D of the urea solution in the urea system with the first preset concentration threshold (preset lower limit threshold of urea concentration) D1 and the second preset concentration threshold (preset upper limit threshold of urea concentration) D2 (D2>D1). If D1≤D≤D2 is satisfied, enter S7; if not, enter L6; this step judges the urea concentration. If the urea concentration is within the allowable range, the vehicle drives normally. If the urea concentration is not within a reasonable range, the nitrogen oxide emission value (emission limit) of the exhaust system is compared and analyzed to determine whether there is a false alarm in the urea concentration.

[0042] L6: Determine the nitrogen oxides L in the exhaust gas and the preset nitrogen oxide emission value (preset operating condition emission limit or preset lower limit threshold of exhaust gas nitrogen oxides) L0. When L≥L0 is satisfied, enter S8, if not, enter S6. This judgment is to determine whether there is a false alarm in the urea solution concentration. If it is satisfied, it means that the urea system concentration display is accurate. If it is not satisfied, the urea concentration is falsely reported.

[0043] S1: Low temperature vehicle starting mode. When the ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature threshold, the urea system will freeze. According to regulatory requirements, you can start the vehicle first, and then start the urea pump heating module to defrost the urea system.

[0044] S2: Urea pump pressure building mode. When it is determined that the urea liquid level is not less than the preset threshold value V1, the vehicle enters the pressure building mode. In this mode, the vehicle controls the urea pump to start and build pressure three times at intervals. The urea pump is started once every first preset time. Each time the urea pump is started, it runs for a second preset time to build pressure. After each pressure building, it is determined whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value. If any one of the three pressure building meets the pressure requirement (that is, it is determined that the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value at any one time), no subsequent attempts are required. If the three pressure building cannot meet the requirement (that is, after the three pressure building, the pressure values ​​of the urea system are all less than the preset urea system pressure value), a urea system failure or urea shortage signal is issued.

[0045] S3: Urea system working mode. When the urea system liquid level meets the requirements, the vehicle is allowed to start normally and the urea system starts to work. In this working mode, the urea pump and nozzle work according to the engine and vehicle operating conditions under the control of the post-processing control HCU.

[0046] S4: The vehicle is started and the urea system starts to work. If it is determined that the urea system can build pressure normally, it means that there is a false alarm of the urea system liquid level. At this time, the vehicle can be started normally and the urea system can be controlled to start working. The vehicle can operate normally and the next liquid level correction work is started at the same time.

[0047] S5: Mechanical degassing mode. After entering this mode, the urea system starts the urea liquid level correction mode, removes bubbles in the urea system through the mechanical degassing device, controls the degassing device to start intermittently three times to remove bubbles on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal acquisition component, starts the degassing device once every third preset time, and removes bubbles and corrects the urea liquid level signal each time the degassing device is started for a fourth preset time. After each start of the degassing device, it is determined whether the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data. When it is determined that the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data after any degassing, go to step S3. Under this working condition, the liquid level of the urea system is gradually repaired, and the urea liquid level displays the actual liquid level value.

[0048] S6: Urea concentration repair mode. After entering this mode, the urea system repairs the urea concentration and controls the urea system diversion through the three-way control valve. Under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the urea system, the three-way valve is used to self-circulate part of the urea. The bubbles on the surface of the urea concentration sensor are removed through self-circulation, and the urea concentration data is collected at intervals. When the urea concentration returns to the normal range, the urea system exits this mode.

[0049] S7: After a series of corrections and corrections to the vehicle, the urea level, concentration and emission limits are all controlled within a reasonable range, the vehicle operates normally, and the urea system operates normally.

[0050] S8: The urea system cannot work normally. The vehicle reports a urea system fault. After judgment and repair, the post-processing controller TCU and the engine ECU judge the working status of the urea system and the engine, and finally confirm that there is a fault in the urea system.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle starting mode is determined after urea filling: when the vehicle is filled with urea, the vehicle is powered on and started, and the urea system controller TCU directly controls the urea system to work, and at the same time controls the mechanical degassing device to start, degasses the urea liquid level sensor, and judges the urea liquid level after degassing. When V≥V0, the mechanical degassing device stops working, and continues to degas when the requirements are not met; when the vehicle liquid level meets the requirements, the urea system controller TCU controls the urea nozzle to start working, and collects the nitrogen oxide value L in the exhaust gas through the nitrogen oxide sensor. When L≥L0, it indicates that there is an abnormality in the urea, and the vehicle enters the torque limit mode; when the requirements are not met, the urea concentration value is determined; when the urea concentration D1≤D≤D2, the urea system works normally and the vehicle runs normally. When this requirement is not met, it means that there is bubble interference in the urea system. At this time, the three-way control valve is opened to degas the urea concentration sensor until D1≤D≤D2 is met, the urea three-way control valve stops working, and the vehicle enters the normal driving mode.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the present invention provides a system for resolving false alarms of a vehicle urea system, comprising a signal acquisition component, a nitrogen oxide sensor, a post-processing controller and an execution component.
