[0002] At present, diesel engine after-treatment technology routes are basically equipped with a particulate filter (DPF). The particulate filter captures solid carbon particles in the exhaust gas through a wall-flow pipeline. When the number reaches a certain level, the carbon particles are burned by controlling the engine exhaust temperature to the target temperature to complete the purification of solid carbon particles in the exhaust gas. However, in suburban and other working conditions, due to the low vehicle speed or long parking time, the traditional driving regeneration method cannot complete the regeneration.

[0051] The main pollutants in diesel engine exhaust include particulate matter (PM), which can seriously endanger human health, and the regulations limiting particulate matter emissions are becoming increasingly stringent. Diesel engine particulate matter collectors are currently recognized as one of the technical means to effectively treat particulate matter emissions and are widely used to remove diesel engine particles. The most widely used is the DPF of the wall-flow honeycomb filter. The outlet and inlet end faces of the wall-flow honeycomb carrier are covered with many narrow channels parallel to each other along the axial direction. The adjacent channels are connected by porous medium walls. The inlet and outlet ends of each channel are alternately blocked, presenting a honeycomb structure. This structure forces the exhaust gas to enter from the inlet channel, flow through the porous wall surface, and flow out from the adjacent outlet channel. In this process, PM is captured in the porous wall surface or deposited on the wall surface. However, with the increase in mileage, the captured particles accumulate in the collector, resulting in an increase in exhaust back pressure, resulting in a decrease in diesel engine economy and power. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the particulate matter in the collector in a timely manner. This is the regeneration of the DPF. Regeneration is divided into passive regeneration and active regeneration. Active regeneration generally refers to using external energy to increase the exhaust temperature, causing particulate matter to burn; passive regeneration refers to relying on the original exhaust temperature and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and the catalyst coated on the honeycomb carrier to react with carbon particles to remove particulate matter. However, in suburban and other working conditions, due to the low speed of the vehicle or long parking time, the traditional driving regeneration method cannot complete regeneration.

[0052] Figure 1 The flowchart of the control method of DPF regeneration according to the embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a DPF regeneration control method, a vehicle control device, a storage medium and a vehicle. The DPF regeneration control method of the present invention includes:

[0053] S1: obtaining vehicle operation information within a first time period after the ECU (Electronic Control Unit, computer control module or electronic control unit or driving computer) is powered on;

[0054] S2: judging the current vehicle operating condition according to the vehicle operating information in the first time period;

[0055] S3: According to the current vehicle operating condition being a low-speed condition, determining a carbon load threshold in a thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition;

[0056] S4: Obtaining the current actual carbon load;

[0057] S5: Based on the actual carbon load being greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, a thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed operating condition is implemented, and then DPF regeneration is performed.

[0058] According to the technical solution of the present invention, based on the vehicle operation information within the first time period, the current vehicle operating condition can be judged, and according to the current vehicle operating condition being a low-speed condition, the corresponding thermal management mode is matched, and the corresponding carbon load threshold is determined according to the thermal management mode. By comparing the actual carbon load of the current vehicle with the carbon load threshold corresponding to the corresponding thermal management mode, when the actual carbon load is greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition is implemented, and then DPF regeneration is performed. The method of the present invention can compare the actual carbon load with the carbon load threshold of the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition under the low-speed condition, thereby realizing the thermal management mode and accurate DPF regeneration.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle operation information includes the accelerator pedal change rate, the DOC (Document, catalytic converter) temperature change rate and the DPF temperature change rate. In this embodiment, the DOC temperature change rate is the DOC upstream temperature change rate (the DOC upstream temperature change rate refers to the ratio of the change in the DOC inlet temperature within a certain period of time to the time period. It can be expressed by the following formula: temperature change rate = (temperature change / time change) × 100%), hereinafter referred to as the DOC temperature change rate. The DPF temperature change rate is the DPF upstream temperature change rate (the DPF upstream temperature change rate refers to the ratio of the change in the DPF inlet temperature within a certain period of time to the time period, which reflects the rate of temperature change), hereinafter referred to as the DPF temperature change rate. The accelerator pedal change rate, the DOC temperature change rate and the DOF temperature change rate are positively correlated, that is, when the accelerator pedal change rate increases, the DOC temperature change rate also increases, and the DPF temperature change rate also increases. When the accelerator pedal change rate decreases, the DOC temperature change rate also decreases, and the DPF temperature change rate also decreases.

[0060] Specifically, in this embodiment, the accelerator pedal change rate refers to the ratio of the accelerator pedal travel change to time, which is an important parameter for measuring the speed of accelerator pedal input. During driving, the accelerator pedal change rate directly affects the acceleration performance and driving experience of the vehicle.

[0061] Specifically, the accelerator pedal change rate can be divided into the following situations:

[0062] Changing the throttle input in a very short time: When the throttle changes deeply in a very short time and the throttle change rate exceeds 100%, this rapid throttle input is usually used in situations where rapid acceleration or deceleration is required.

[0063] Changing throttle input in a short time: The throttle change rate is between 40% and 100%, which is a common situation in daily driving and is suitable for smooth acceleration or deceleration.

[0064] Changing the throttle input over a longer period of time: When the throttle change rate is less than 40%, this delicate throttle control is usually adopted by full-time drivers to maintain smoothness and comfort in driving.

[0065] The accelerator pedal change rate not only reflects the driver's driving intention and the vehicle's power response, but is also closely related to the vehicle's drivability. A larger accelerator pedal change rate indicates that the driver needs to accelerate frequently. For example, in low-speed conditions, the driver needs to frequently accelerate and decelerate. A smaller accelerator pedal change rate indicates that the driver does not need to accelerate frequently. For example, in high-speed conditions, although the driver needs to keep stepping on the accelerator pedal, the change rate is smaller.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, judging the current vehicle operating condition according to the vehicle operating information in the first time period includes:

[0067] Acquire a first boundary range of vehicle operation information under congestion conditions;

[0068] According to the vehicle operation information in the first time period being within the first boundary range, it is determined that the congestion operating condition is the current vehicle operating condition.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first boundary range of the accelerator pedal change rate under the congested condition is (c, d), the first boundary range of the DOC temperature change rate under the congested condition is (c, d), and the first boundary range of the DPF temperature change rate under the congested condition is (c, d). According to the accelerator pedal change rate in the first time period being between c and d, the DOC temperature change rate in the first time period being between c and d, and the DPF temperature change rate in the first time period being between c and d, it can be determined that the vehicle operation information in the first time period is within the first boundary range, and the congested condition is determined to be the current vehicle operation condition.

[0070] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, according to the current vehicle operating condition being a congestion condition, a carbon load threshold in a thermal management mode corresponding to the congestion condition is determined;

[0071] Get the current actual carbon load;

[0072] According to the actual carbon load being greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, a thermal management mode corresponding to the congestion condition is implemented, and then DPF regeneration is performed.

[0073] Specifically, in the control method of the present embodiment, the thermal management mode corresponding to the congested working condition is: reducing the exhaust throttle valve opening, increasing the injection amount of the post-injection mode of the injection method, and increasing the rotation speed.

[0074] Among them, reducing the exhaust throttle valve opening can increase the exhaust temperature, thereby facilitating full preparation for the subsequent DPF regeneration. Secondly, increasing the injection amount of the post-injection mode can make the post-injection fuel release heat during the combustion process, thereby increasing the exhaust temperature. The high exhaust temperature is conducive to the oxidation regeneration of the soot particles in the DPF and reduces the risk of DPF blockage. By accurately controlling the injection amount and injection timing of the post-injection, the exhaust temperature can reach the optimal temperature range for DPF regeneration, which helps to optimize the regeneration process, improve the regeneration efficiency, and extend the service life of the DPF. In addition, when the engine speed increases, the combustion process in the combustion chamber will be more intense and generate more heat, which helps to increase the exhaust temperature and make the soot particles in the DPF easier to oxidize and regenerate. In summary, the adjustment of the exhaust throttle valve opening, the injection amount of the post-injection mode, and the speed are all conducive to the subsequent DPF regeneration and improve reliability.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, judging the current vehicle operating condition according to the vehicle operating information in the first time period further includes:

[0076] Obtaining the second boundary range of vehicle operation information under urban and rural conditions;

[0077] Based on the vehicle operation information in the first time period being within the second boundary range, it is determined that the urban and rural operating condition is the current vehicle operating condition.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second boundary range of the accelerator pedal change rate under the urban and rural conditions is (b, c), the second boundary range of the DOC temperature change rate under the urban and rural conditions is (b, c), and the second boundary range of the DPF temperature change rate under the urban and rural conditions is (b, c). According to the accelerator pedal change rate in the first time period being between b and c, the DOC temperature change rate in the first time period being between b and c, and the DPF temperature change rate in the first time period being between b and c, it can be determined that the vehicle operation information in the first time period is within the second boundary range, and the urban and rural conditions are determined to be the current vehicle operation conditions.

[0079] Specifically, in the control method of this embodiment, the thermal management mode corresponding to the urban and rural operating conditions is: reducing the exhaust throttle valve opening.

[0080] Among them, reducing the exhaust throttle valve opening can increase the exhaust temperature, thereby facilitating full preparation for subsequent DPF regeneration. Since the urban and rural working conditions are between the congested working conditions and the high-speed working conditions, the subsequent DPF regeneration operation can be achieved by only interfering with the exhaust throttle valve, without adjusting the speed and the injection amount of the post-injection mode of the injection method.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, after determining the current vehicle operating condition according to the vehicle operating information in the first time period, the method further includes:

[0082] Obtaining the third boundary range of vehicle operation information under high-speed conditions;

[0083] According to the vehicle operation information in the first time period being within the third boundary range, determining that the high-speed operating condition is the current vehicle operating condition;

[0084] Since the current vehicle operating condition is high-speed, thermal management mode and DPF regeneration control are not performed.

[0085] Specifically, in this embodiment, the third boundary range of the accelerator pedal change rate under high-speed conditions is (a, b), the third boundary range of the DOC temperature change rate under high-speed conditions is (a, b), and the second boundary range of the DPF temperature change rate under high-speed conditions is (a, b). According to the accelerator pedal change rate in the first time period being between a and b, the DOC temperature change rate in the first time period being between a and b, and the DPF temperature change rate in the first time period being between a and b, it can be determined that the vehicle operation information in the first time period is within the third boundary range, and the high-speed condition is determined to be the current vehicle operation condition.

[0086] Furthermore, under high-speed conditions, since the engine is usually in a high-load, high-speed operating state, the exhaust temperature is high, which helps to promote the oxidation reaction of particulate matter inside the DPF, thereby achieving passive regeneration to a certain extent. Passive regeneration uses the high-temperature exhaust gas generated during the operation of the diesel engine to increase the temperature inside the DPF to achieve oxidation and removal of particulate matter. Therefore, under high-speed conditions, the active regeneration demand of the DPF may be relatively low, and generally the thermal management mode and DPF regeneration are not performed, that is, there is no need to adjust the exhaust throttle valve opening, the injection amount of the post-injection mode of the injection method, and the speed.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, according to the actual carbon load being greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, a thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed operating condition is implemented, and then after the DPF regeneration is performed, the following is further included:

[0088] Calculate the optimization coefficient based on vehicle operation information;

[0089] According to the optimization coefficient, the first boundary range or the second boundary range is optimized, and the carbon load threshold in the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed operating condition is optimized.

[0090] Specifically, in this embodiment, an optimization coefficient can be obtained according to the average values ​​of the throttle pedal change rate, the DOC temperature change rate and the DPF temperature change rate. The distribution and distribution set of the optimization coefficient can be obtained through the throttle pedal change rate, the DOC temperature change rate and the DPF temperature change rate in the first time period. The c and d of the first boundary range and the b and c of the second boundary range are optimized and corrected respectively through the distribution and distribution set of the optimization coefficient, so that the classification intervals of the first boundary range and the second boundary range are more accurate, and the vehicle operating conditions can be more accurately classified when the vehicle operating information is obtained, so that the actual carbon load can be compared with the carbon load threshold of the thermal management mode corresponding to the accurate low-speed condition, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the DPF regeneration timing.

[0091] Furthermore, by optimizing the distribution of coefficients and the distribution set, a and b of the third boundary range can be optimized and corrected, thereby making the classification interval of the third boundary range more accurate. Combined with the first boundary range and the second boundary range, the vehicle operating conditions can be further accurately classified when the vehicle operating information is obtained, which facilitates the comparison between the actual carbon load and the carbon load threshold of the thermal management mode corresponding to the accurate low-speed condition, thereby further improving the accuracy and reliability of the DPF regeneration timing.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the carbon load threshold in the thermal management mode corresponding to the congested condition can be optimized and corrected by optimizing the distribution of the coefficients and the distribution set. When the vehicle operation information is obtained, it is convenient to compare the actual carbon load with the accurate carbon load threshold of the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition, thereby further improving the accuracy and reliability of the DPF regeneration timing.

[0093] Secondly, by optimizing the distribution of coefficients and distribution sets, the carbon load threshold under the thermal management mode corresponding to urban and rural conditions can be optimized and corrected. When the vehicle operation information is obtained, it is convenient to compare the actual carbon load with the accurate carbon load threshold of the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the DPF regeneration timing.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, the low-speed operating condition includes a congested operating condition and an urban-rural operating condition. In this embodiment, the low-speed operating condition is the working state of the car when it is driving at a low speed, including a congested operating condition and an urban-rural operating condition. The car in the congested operating condition needs to start, accelerate, decelerate and stop frequently, most of which are road conditions with large traffic flow on urban roads. The car in the urban-rural operating condition will encounter some uneven road conditions due to driving in urban and rural areas, and will also start, accelerate, decelerate and stop, but compared with the congested operating condition, the urban-rural operating condition is relatively smooth.

[0095] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, according to the actual carbon load being greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, a thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed operating condition is implemented, and then DPF regeneration is performed including:

[0096] detecting a vehicle operating condition within a second time period according to the actual carbon load being greater than or equal to a carbon load threshold;

[0097] According to the vehicle operating condition in the second time period being consistent with the vehicle operating condition in the first time period, a thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed condition is implemented, and then DPF regeneration is performed.

[0098] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vehicle operating condition in the second time period (including the first time period and greater than the interval value of the first time period) is detected after the actual carbon load is greater than or equal to the carbon load threshold, and compared with the vehicle operating condition in the first time period, the consistency of the operating condition can be further determined, and then the thermal management mode corresponding to the low-speed operating condition is implemented, and then the DPF is regenerated, which can avoid the situation where the DPF is regenerated incorrectly due to the inconsistency between the operating conditions in the first time period and the subsequent operating conditions, thereby improving reliability.

[0099] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the control process of the DPF control method of the present invention is:

[0100] After the ECU is powered on, the accelerator pedal change rate, DOC temperature change rate and DPF temperature change rate are calculated within the window (i.e., the first time period);

[0101] According to the correspondence between the accelerator pedal change rate, the DOC temperature change rate, the DPF temperature change rate and the vehicle operating condition type (i.e., determining whether the parameter value of the vehicle operating information is within the first boundary range, the second boundary range and the third boundary range), the final vehicle operating condition Ai is finally determined;

[0102] When the determined working condition is a high-speed working condition, there is no need to perform a thermal management mode. When the determined working condition is a congested working condition, a thermal management mode corresponding to the congested working condition is matched.

[0103] According to the matched thermal management mode, a carbon load threshold Ci of the thermal management mode is determined;

[0104] Obtain the current carbon load Si in the current DPF according to the DPF pressure difference or the ECU software model;

[0105] If the current carbon load Si in the DPF is greater than or equal to the matched thermal management carbon load threshold Ci, carbon load regeneration can be performed; if the current carbon load Si in the DPF is less than the matched thermal management carbon load threshold Ci, the current carbon load level is low and regeneration may not be performed;

[0106] Detect the vehicle operating condition type Aj within the current window period (including the first time period and greater than the interval value of the first time period). If Ai=Aj, implement and regenerate the DPF according to the matched thermal management mode; if Ai≠Aj, return to re-detect the vehicle operating condition type;

[0107] The carbon load Sj after regeneration is calculated by the DPF pressure difference or the model in the ECU, and the specific result of the DPF regeneration can be judged by Sj;

[0108] Calculate the optimization coefficient Ki according to the vehicle operation information of the current driving cycle, and optimize the boundary range of the vehicle operation condition type and the corresponding carbon load threshold Ci under the thermal management mode according to the optimization coefficient Ki;

[0109] After the ECU is powered off, the boundary range of each vehicle operating condition and the corresponding carbon load threshold Ci are updated and recorded.

[0110] Furthermore, the DPF control method in the present invention is based on the comparison between the vehicle operating information and the boundary range of multiple vehicle operating conditions, so as to determine the accurate operating condition, and determine the corresponding thermal management mode according to the operating condition. When the carbon load threshold of the thermal circuit mode is less than the actual carbon load, the corresponding thermal management mode and DPF regeneration are performed. Finally, the optimization coefficient can be calculated according to the vehicle operating information, and the classification boundaries of multiple vehicle operating conditions and the carbon load threshold under the matching thermal management mode can be corrected according to the optimization coefficient, and the condition classification threshold optimization and carbon load threshold optimization are self-learned according to the vehicle operating condition.

[0111] The present invention also provides a vehicle control device, such as Figure 3 As shown, including:

[0112] An acquisition unit 400 is used to acquire vehicle operation information and current actual carbon load;
