TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vehicle inspection, and particularly relates to a urea system false alarm solving method and system for vehicles, a terminal and a storage medium. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the current vehicle emission control system, the urea system plays a crucial role. Its core function is to significantly reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by purifying exhaust gas, while optimizing engine performance and fuel consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing costs and reducing environmental pollution. However, the performance of the urea system is extremely susceptible to external environmental influences, especially temperature changes.
[0003] Under high temperature conditions, urea may deteriorate, resulting in a significant reduction in its purification effect. In low temperature environments, urea may freeze, which not only blocks the system pipeline, but also may cause damage to the system. More complex is that temperature changes may also cause bubbles in the urea solution. These bubbles, although small, can interfere with signal acquisition once they adhere to the surface of the urea liquid level sensor or concentration sensor, causing the system to be unable to accurately identify the liquid level and concentration of the urea solution.
[0004] Currently, the industry mainly uses ultrasonic technology to detect the liquid level and concentration of urea solution. This technology has the advantages of simple structure, convenient reading and easy installation and maintenance. However, the ultrasonic sensor is extremely susceptible to bubbles and impurities in the solution during detection. Especially in the case of temperature fluctuations or significant liquid disturbance in the urea solution, the generation of bubbles is particularly frequent. Once these bubbles adhere to the emitting surface or reflecting surface of the ultrasonic sensor, the system detection accuracy will decrease, and even false alarms will be triggered.
[0005] The generation of false alarms not only affects the normal operation of the vehicle, but also may 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, existing methods mostly only focus on the collection and analysis of a single signal, while ignoring the comprehensive influence of multiple environmental factors on system performance. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the above shortcomings of the prior art, the present application provides a urea system false alarm solving method and system for vehicles, a terminal and a storage medium to solve the above technical problems.
[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a urea system false alarm solving method for vehicles, comprising:
[0008] 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 the signal collection assembly installed in the urea tank of the vehicle; and the nitrogen oxide emission value is collected by the nitrogen oxide sensor installed at the exhaust emission 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 aftertreatment controller of the vehicle;
[0009] The aftertreatment controller compares the received temperature signal, liquid level signal and concentration signal with the corresponding preset signal threshold value respectively to determine whether the received collected signal is abnormal; and when the liquid level signal of the urea solution is abnormal, the aftertreatment 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 aftertreatment 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.
[0010] When it is determined that the urea system has a urea liquid level false alarm, the aftertreatment controller controls the start of the degassing device to remove the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal collection assembly to correct the urea liquid level signal; and when it is determined that the urea system has a urea concentration false alarm, the aftertreatment controller controls the start of the urea pump and the three-way control valve installed at the urea pump to perform self-circulation of the target urea solution under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the urea system, remove the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea concentration sensor in the signal collection assembly by self-circulation, and correct the urea concentration signal.
[0011] Further improvement of the technical solution is that the process of analyzing the received temperature signal, liquid level signal, concentration signal, pressure value of the urea system and nitrogen oxide emission value by the aftertreatment controller and solving the false alarm is as follows:
[0012] L1, the aftertreatment controller determines whether the received temperature signal is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold value; if yes, go to S1; if no, go to L3;
[0013] S1, start the vehicle at low temperature, control the start of the heating module to thaw the urea system, and go to L2;
[0014] L2, determine whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value; if no, go to S1; if yes, go to S3;
[0015] L3, determine whether the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data; if yes, go to S3; if no, go to S2;
[0016] S2, control the start of the urea pump to build pressure, and go to L4;
[0017] S3: The vehicle operates normally, the urea injection system is controlled to start working, and the process goes to L5;
[0018] L4. Determine 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;
[0019] S4. The vehicle is started normally, the urea system starts to work, and it is determined that there is a urea liquid level false alarm in the urea system, and the process goes to S5;
[0020] S5, control the start of the degassing device to remove 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;
[0021] L5. Determine whether the concentration signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to a first preset concentration threshold and less than or equal to a second preset concentration threshold, and whether the first preset concentration threshold is less than the second preset concentration threshold; if not, go to L6; if so, go to S7;
[0022] 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 so, go to S8;
[0023] S6. Control and start the urea pump and the three-way control valve. While ensuring the normal operation of the urea system, the target urea solution is self-circulated. The self-circulation removes bubbles on the surface of the urea concentration sensor in the signal acquisition component and corrects the urea concentration signal. Then go to L5.
[0024] S7. Determine that the urea system and the vehicle are operating normally;
[0025] S8. Determine that there is a fault in the urea system and stop the vehicle for inspection.
[0026] The technical solution is further improved in that step S2 is specifically as follows: controlling the urea pump to start and build pressure three times at intervals, starting the urea pump once every first preset time, and running the urea pump for a second preset time each time to build pressure, and after each pressure buildup, judging whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value, and if it is judged that the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value at any time, going to step S4; if the pressure value of the urea system is less than the preset urea system pressure value after the three pressure buildups, going to S8, and issuing a urea shortage signal.
[0027] The further improvement of the technical solution is that step L4 is specifically: judging whether the pressure value of the urea system after each pressure building is greater than or equal to a preset urea system pressure value, and judging the pressure building capacity of the urea pump; if the urea pump can build pressure, turning to S4 to determine that the urea system has urea liquid level false reporting; if the urea pump cannot build pressure, turning to S8 to determine that the urea system lacks urea and urea lack signal, or determine that the urea system has a fault.
[0028] The further improvement of the technical solution is that step S5 is specifically: controlling the vehicle to enter a mechanical degassing mode, controlling the degassing device to start intermittently three times to remove bubbles existing on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal acquisition assembly, starting the degassing device once every third preset time, removing bubbles for a fourth preset time each time the degassing device is started, correcting the urea liquid level signal, and judging whether the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to preset liquid level data after each time the degassing device is started, and turning to step S3 when the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data after any degassing.

[0034] The further improvement of the technical solution is that the execution assembly further comprises a heating module, which is used for thawing the urea system when the post-processing controller determines that the received temperature signal is less than or equal to a preset temperature threshold.

[0064] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present application, the principle of the urea system false alarm solving method for vehicle of the present application is described further in combination with the process of solving the false alarm of the urea system for vehicle in the embodiment.
[0065] As shown in Figure 2 , the process of analyzing and solving the false alarm of the aftertreatment controller to the received temperature signal, liquid level signal, concentration signal, pressure value of the urea system and nitrogen oxide emission value is as follows:
[0066] L1, the aftertreatment controller judges whether the received temperature signal is less than or equal to the preset temperature threshold value; if yes, go to S1; if no, go to L3;
[0067] S1, start the vehicle at low temperature, control to start the heating module to thaw the urea system, and go to L2;
[0068] L2, determine whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to a preset urea system pressure value; if not, go to S1; if yes, go to S3;
[0069] L3, determine whether the liquid level signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to a preset liquid level data; if yes, go to S3; if not, go to S2;
[0070] S2, control the start of the urea pump to build pressure, and go to L4;
[0071] S3, the vehicle is normally running, control the urea injection system to start working, and go to L5;
[0072] L4, determine whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to a preset urea system pressure value; if yes, go to S4; if not, go to S8;
[0073] S4, normally start the vehicle, the urea system starts working, determine that the urea system has a false report of urea liquid level, and go to S5;
[0074] S5, control the start of the degassing device to remove the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal acquisition assembly, correct the urea liquid level signal; and go to L3;
[0075] L5, determine whether the concentration signal of the urea solution is greater than or equal to a first preset concentration threshold and less than or equal to a second preset concentration threshold, the first preset concentration threshold being less than the second preset concentration threshold; if not, go to L6; if yes, go to S7;
[0076] L6, determine whether the received nitrogen oxide emission value is greater than or equal to a preset nitrogen oxide emission value; if not, go to S6; if yes, go to S8;
[0077] S6, control the start of the urea pump and the three-way control valve, under the condition of ensuring the normal working of the urea system, perform self-circulation on the target urea solution, remove the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea concentration sensor in the signal acquisition assembly through self-circulation, correct the urea concentration signal; and go to L5;
[0078] S7, determine that the urea system is working normally, and the vehicle is running normally;
[0079] S8, determine that the urea system has a fault, and control the vehicle to stop and check.
[0080] Specifically, L1: after the vehicle starts, compare the collected urea temperature to with a preset temperature threshold T0; when to≤T0, the aftertreatment controller controls the urea system to enter a heating mode S1; the urea system is thawed through the heating mode; when to>T0, at this time the urea system does not have the risk of icing, the aftertreatment controller controls the system to enter L3;
[0081] L2: compare the collected urea system pressure value P with the preset urea system pressure value P0, if it is satisfied, enter S3; if it is not satisfied, enter S1. Through L2, the pressure build-up of the urea system in the thawing mode is judged, if the pressure cannot be built, the heating mode is continued, if the pressure can be built, the urea system can be normally started.
[0082] L3: compare the collected urea solution liquid level V with the preset liquid level V0, if it is satisfied, enter S3, if it is not satisfied, enter S2; this judgment is whether the urea liquid level meets the requirements of the urea system start, so as to judge the next control mode selection.
[0083] L4: compare the collected urea system pressure value P with the preset urea system pressure P0, if it is satisfied, enter S4; if it is not satisfied, enter S8; through L4, the pressure build-up ability of the urea pump in the normal mode is judged, if the pressure can be built, it means that the system liquid level is false, if the pressure cannot be built, it means that the urea system is insufficient or the urea system is faulty. In addition, 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 is judged, and the pressure build-up ability of the urea pump is judged; if the urea pump can build pressure, go to S4, determine that the urea system has false urea liquid level; if the urea pump cannot build pressure, go to S8, determine that the urea system lacks urea and urea shortage signal, or determine that the urea system has a fault.
[0084] L5: compare the concentration D of the urea solution of the urea system with the first preset concentration threshold (urea concentration preset concentration lower threshold) D1 and the second preset concentration threshold (urea concentration preset concentration upper threshold) D2 (D2>D1), if it is satisfied D1≤D≤D2, enter S7, if it is not satisfied, enter L6; this step judges the urea concentration, if the urea concentration is within the allowable range, the vehicle can be normally driven, if the urea concentration is not within the reasonable range, the nitrogen oxide emission value (emission limit value) of the exhaust system is compared and analyzed to determine whether the urea concentration is false.
[0085] L6: determine the nitrogen oxides L in the exhaust gas and the preset nitrogen oxide emission value (preset working condition emission limit or exhaust gas emission nitrogen oxide preset lower threshold) L0, when L≥L0 is satisfied, enter S8, if it is not satisfied, enter S6. This judgment is to determine whether the urea solution concentration is false, if it is satisfied, it means that the urea system concentration display is accurate, if it is not satisfied, the urea concentration is false.
[0086] S1: low temperature vehicle start mode, when the ambient temperature is lower than the preset temperature threshold, the urea system will have freezing problem, according to the regulation requirements, the vehicle can be started first, then the urea pump heating module is started to thaw the urea system.
[0087] S2: Urea pump pressure building mode, when it is judged that the urea liquid level is not up to the preset threshold V1, the vehicle enters the pressure building mode, in which the vehicle controls the urea pump to start building pressure three times at intervals, starts the urea pump once every first preset time, builds pressure for the second preset time each time the urea pump is started, and judges whether the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value after each pressure building. If any one of the three pressure building meets the pressure requirement (i.e. the pressure value of the urea system is greater than or equal to the preset urea system pressure value), subsequent attempts are not required. If the three pressure building cannot meet the requirement (i.e. the pressure value of the urea system is less than the preset urea system pressure value after the three pressure building), a urea system failure or urea shortage signal is sent.
[0088] S3: Urea system working mode, when the urea system liquid level meets the requirement, the vehicle is allowed to start normally, and the urea system starts to work. In this working mode, the urea pump and the nozzle work according to the engine and vehicle working conditions under the control of the aftertreatment control HCU.
[0089] S4: Vehicle starting, urea system starting to work, when it is judged that the urea system can build pressure normally, it is indicated that the urea system liquid level is misreported, at this time the vehicle can be started normally, and the urea system starts to work, the vehicle can run normally, and the next step of liquid level correction is started.
[0090] S5: Mechanical degassing mode, after entering this mode, the urea system starts the urea liquid level correction mode, removes the bubbles existing in the urea system through the mechanical degassing device, controls the degassing device to start three times intermittently to remove the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea liquid level sensor in the signal acquisition assembly, starts the degassing device once every third preset time, removes the bubbles for the fourth preset time each time the degassing device is started, corrects the urea liquid level signal, and judges whether the urea solution liquid level signal is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data after each time the degassing device is started. When it is judged that the urea solution liquid level signal is greater than or equal to the preset liquid level data after any one degassing, it goes to step S3. In this working condition, the urea system liquid level is gradually repaired, and the urea liquid level displays the actual liquid level value.
[0091] S6: Urea concentration repair mode, after entering this mode, the urea system repairs the urea concentration, controls the urea system to branch through the three-way control valve, under the condition of ensuring the normal work of the urea system, circulates part of the urea through the three-way valve, removes the bubbles existing on the surface of the urea concentration sensor through the self-circulation, collects the urea concentration data at intervals, and when the urea concentration returns to the normal range, the urea system exits this mode.
[0092] S7: After a series of correction decisions and corrections are made on the vehicle, the urea liquid level, concentration and emission limit are controlled within a reasonable range, the vehicle runs normally, and the urea system works normally.
[0093] S8: The urea system cannot work normally, the vehicle reports a urea system fault, after judgment and repair, the aftertreatment controller TCU and the engine ECU judge the working state of the urea system and the engine, and finally confirm that the urea system has a fault.
[0094] As shown in Figure 3 , the vehicle starting mode determination after urea filling: after the vehicle is filled with urea, the vehicle is powered on and started, the urea system controller TCU directly controls the urea system to work, and at the same time controls the mechanical degassing device to start, and the urea liquid level sensor is degassed, after degassing, the urea liquid level is judged, when V≥V0, the mechanical degassing device stops working, when it does not meet the requirements, continue to carry out degassing treatment; 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 tail gas through the nitrogen oxide sensor, when L≥L0, it indicates that the urea is abnormal, and the vehicle enters the limited torque mode; when it does not meet the requirements, the urea concentration value is determined; when D1≤D≤D2, the urea system works normally, and the vehicle runs normally, when it does not meet the requirements, it indicates that the urea system has bubble interference, at this time the three-way control valve is opened, the urea concentration sensor is degassed, and after D1≤D≤D2 is met, the urea three-way control valve stops working, and the vehicle enters the normal driving mode.
[0095] As shown in Figure 4 , the present application provides a kind of vehicle urea system false report solution system, including signal acquisition component, nitrogen oxide sensor, aftertreatment controller and execution component.
[0096] Among them, signal acquisition component is installed in the vehicle urea tank inside, including temperature sensor, liquid level sensor (installing at the bottom of urea tank), urea concentration sensor (using laser urea concentration sensor, installs in the side wall of urea tank) and pressure sensor, are used to collect the temperature signal of urea solution in urea tank, the liquid level signal of urea solution, the concentration signal of urea solution and the pressure value of urea system;And the temperature signal, liquid level signal, concentration signal and pressure value of urea system collected are transmitted to the aftertreatment controller of vehicle.
