Further, a plurality of injection amounts within a predetermined time period are acquired, and each of the plurality of injection amounts within the predetermined time period is less than an injection amount threshold, indicating that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition. Therefore, the heater needs to be controlled to be turned on to heat the exhaust. Otherwise, the temperature continues to decrease, resulting in non-compliance with the NOx emission requirements.

[0036] In the embodiments, an exhaust gas aftertreatment method running on a mobile terminal, a computer terminal, or a similar computing device is provided, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the aftertreatment system includes an SCR and a heater (EH), and the heater (EH) is installed on an exhaust pipe upstream of the SCR. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart can be executed in a computer system, such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0037] Figure 3 is a flowchart of the exhaust gas aftertreatment method according to the embodiments of the present application. As shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps: Figure 3
[0038] Step S201, a first acquisition step, acquiring an SCR exhaust gas temperature in real time, the SCR exhaust gas temperature being a temperature of exhaust gas in the SCR;
[0039] Step S202, a second acquisition step, acquiring a plurality of injection amounts within a predetermined time length in a case where the SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than a high-efficiency temperature threshold, the high-efficiency temperature threshold being a minimum temperature of the SCR at which a conversion efficiency is greater than a predetermined conversion efficiency;
[0040] Step S203, a first control step, in the case that the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length are all less than the fuel injection amount threshold, controlling the heater to be turned on to heat the exhaust gas;
[0041] Step S204, a second control step, in the case that any one of the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, controlling the heater to be turned off.
[0042] In the exhaust gas aftertreatment method, the SCR exhaust gas temperature is obtained in real time. If the SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold, it indicates that the exhaust gas temperature is too low to affect the conversion efficiency of the SCR. Further, a plurality of fuel injection amounts in a predetermined time length are obtained. If the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length are all less than the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition, and the heater needs to be turned on to heat the exhaust gas. Otherwise, the temperature continues to decrease, which does not meet the NOx emission requirements. If any one of the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine will not be in a long-time low-load working condition, and the exhaust gas temperature will not continue to decrease, so the heater does not need to heat the exhaust gas. Compared with the prior art, the heater is turned on to heat the exhaust gas when the exhaust gas temperature is low, which greatly saves the electric energy and solves the problem of high power consumption of the exhaust gas heater in the prior art. Moreover, the fuel injection amount is not increased to increase the exhaust gas temperature, and the fuel consumption is saved.
[0043] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 The aftertreatment system further includes a particulate matter trap (DPF), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), an ammonia oxidation catalyst (ASC), and temperature sensors T3, T4, T5, and T6 for detecting the intake temperature of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), the intake temperature of the particulate matter trap (DPF), the intake temperature and the outlet temperature of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR), respectively. The upstream and downstream of the aftertreatment system each have a NOx sensor 1 and a NOx sensor 2, respectively, for detecting the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas before the exhaust gas aftertreatment and the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas after the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
[0044] In order to ensure that the emission requirements are met, in an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The step S204 includes:
[0045] Step S2041, in the case that any one of the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, obtaining a first NOx concentration and a second NOx concentration. The first NOx concentration is the NOx concentration of the exhaust gas at the intake of the SCR, and the second NOx concentration is the NOx concentration of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the SCR.
[0046] Step S2042, calculating the conversion efficiency of the SCR according to the first NOx concentration and the second NOx concentration.
[0047] Step S2043, in the case where the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency, controlling the heater to be turned on for exhaust gas heating;
[0048] Step S2044, in the case where the conversion efficiency of the SCR is greater than or equal to the predetermined conversion efficiency, controlling the heater to be turned off.
[0049] In the above embodiment, in the case where any one of the injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is not in a long-time low-load working condition, but the temperature is still low to cause low conversion efficiency, thereby causing the NOx emission requirement not to be met. Therefore, in this case, the NOx concentrations in the exhaust gas before and after the SCR are detected by the NOx sensor 1 and the NOx sensor 2 to obtain the first NOx concentration and the second NOx concentration, the conversion efficiency of the SCR is calculated by the formula: conversion efficiency = (first NOx concentration - second NOx concentration) / first NOx concentration, and in the case where the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency, the heater needs to be turned on for exhaust gas heating, and the EH is turned on at the rated power PI for rapid heating to improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR, otherwise, it is not needed. The predetermined conversion efficiency can be selected according to actual needs, for example, 95%.
[0050] In order to further save electric energy, in an optional embodiment, the step S2043 comprises:
[0051] Step S20431, performing a plurality of first heating power tests in a first scenario to obtain a plurality of first heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement, the first scenario being a scenario where the exhaust gas temperature of the SCR is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and any one of the injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the injection amount threshold;
[0052] Step S20432, determining the minimum value of the plurality of first heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement as the first optimal heating power of the first scenario;
[0053] Step S20433, in the case where the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency, controlling the heater to perform exhaust gas heating at the first optimal heating power.
[0054] In the above embodiment, the working condition that the SCR tail gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and any one of the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold is set as a first scene, and the minimum first heating power that meets the NOx emission requirement is found by performing multiple calibrations in the first scene, that is, a first optimal heating power is obtained. In the subsequent first scene, the first optimal heating power is used for tail gas heating when heating is needed, so as to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met, reduce power consumption, save electric energy, and relieve the electric quantity load pressure of the vehicle.
[0055] In order to further save electric energy, in an optional embodiment, the step S203 includes:
[0056] In step S2031, in the case that all the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length are less than the fuel injection amount threshold, it is determined that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition.
[0057] In step S2032, in the case that there is an NOx emission requirement in the long-time low-load working condition, the heater is controlled to be turned on to perform tail gas heating.
[0058] In step S2033, in the case that there is no NOx emission requirement in the long-time low-load working condition, the heater is controlled to be turned off.
[0059] In the above embodiment, if the SCR tail gas temperature Tscr is less than TH, it is considered that the SCR enters a low-temperature and low-efficiency stage, and then the vehicle is judged whether it is in a long-time low-load working condition in combination with the fuel injection amount threshold q0 and the predetermined time length t1. If the fuel injection amount q is lower than the calibrated fuel injection amount threshold q0 within the predetermined time length t1, it is considered that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition. In order to meet the NOx emission requirement, the heater (EH) is turned on at the calibrated power P2 to compensate for the situation that the aftertreatment temperature is reduced due to the reduction of the load. P2 is calibrated according to the low-load emission requirement to maintain the aftertreatment at a suitable temperature. When the low-load emission is not considered, P3=0, so as to avoid the waste of electric energy caused by long-time heating.
[0060] In order to further save electric energy, in an optional embodiment, the step S2032 includes:
[0061] In step S20321, multiple second heating powers are tested in a second scene to obtain multiple second heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement. The second scene is a scene that the SCR tail gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and all the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length are less than the fuel injection amount threshold.
[0062] In step S20322, the minimum value of the multiple second heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement is determined as a second optimal heating power of the second scene.
[0063] Step S20323, in the case where the long-time low-load working condition has the above-mentioned NOx emission requirement, the above-mentioned heater is controlled to perform exhaust gas heating at the above-mentioned second optimal heating power.
[0064] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the working condition where the above-mentioned SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than the above-mentioned high-efficiency temperature threshold and the above-mentioned multiple fuel injection amounts within the above-mentioned predetermined time length are all less than the above-mentioned fuel injection amount threshold is set as a second scenario, and multiple calibrations are performed in the second scenario to find a minimum second heating power that meets the NOx emission requirement, i.e., to obtain a second optimal heating power. The second optimal heating power is used to perform exhaust gas heating in the subsequent second scenario, so as to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met while reducing power consumption, saving electric energy, and relieving the electric quantity load pressure of the vehicle.
[0065] In order to obtain the SCR exhaust gas temperature, in an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned exhaust aftertreatment system further comprises a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor, the above-mentioned first temperature sensor is installed on the exhaust pipe between the above-mentioned SCR and the above-mentioned heater, and the above-mentioned second temperature sensor is installed on the exhaust pipe downstream of the above-mentioned SCR. The above-mentioned step S201 comprises:
[0066] Step S2011, real-time acquisition of the SCR front exhaust gas temperature and the SCR rear exhaust gas temperature, the SCR front exhaust gas temperature being the temperature of the exhaust gas detected by the above-mentioned first temperature sensor, and the SCR rear exhaust gas temperature being the temperature of the exhaust gas detected by the above-mentioned second temperature sensor;
[0067] Step S2012, calculation of the average value of the above-mentioned SCR front exhaust gas temperature and the above-mentioned SCR rear exhaust gas temperature to obtain the above-mentioned SCR exhaust gas temperature.
[0068] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the temperature sensors T5 and T6 are used to selectively select the inlet temperature and the outlet temperature of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to calculate the SCR exhaust gas temperature T scr = (T5+T6) / 2, so as to determine whether the SCR exhaust gas temperature Tscr is greater than the high-efficiency temperature threshold TH H of the high-efficiency stage of the SCR. If the SCR exhaust gas temperature Tscr is less than TH, it is considered that the SCR enters the low-temperature and low-efficiency stage. Test proves that the conversion efficiency of the SCR is above 95% when the average temperature is above 200℃, i.e., the high-efficiency temperature threshold TH H of the SCR can be 200℃. Of course, the high-efficiency temperature threshold TH H of different types of SCR is different.
[0069] In order to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met during the entire engine operation period, in an optional embodiment, the above-mentioned method further comprises:
[0070] Step S301, in the case that the SCR exhaust gas temperature is greater than or equal to the high-efficiency temperature threshold, the first obtaining step, the second obtaining step, the first control step and the second control step are repeated at least once in sequence until the engine stops running.
[0071] In the above embodiment, the SCR exhaust gas temperature greater than or equal to the high-efficiency temperature threshold indicates that the SCR is in a high-efficiency stage, and the first obtaining step, the second obtaining step, the first control step and the second control step are repeated at least once in sequence to ensure that the NOx emission requirements are met while saving electric energy, and the engine stops running.
[0072] In order to enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand the technical solutions of the present application, the implementation process of the exhaust gas aftertreatment method of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0073] The present embodiment relates to a specific exhaust gas aftertreatment method, as shown in Figure 5 The method comprises the following steps:
[0074] The engine is started, and the aftertreatment temperature, engine speed, torque, and fuel injection amount in the ECU are read to determine the operating condition of the engine by detecting the amount:
[0075] (a) According to the fuel injection amount and the temperature, it is determined that the engine is in a low-load state:
[0076] It is determined whether the average SCR temperature Tscr is greater than the minimum temperature TH at which the SCR enters the high-efficiency stage (experimental results show that the conversion efficiency is above 95% when the average SCR temperature reaches above 200°C); if so, it is considered that the SCR efficiency meets the emission requirements, and the EH does not need to be turned on;
[0077] (b) If the average SCR temperature T scr is less than TH, it is considered that the SCR enters the low-temperature and low-efficiency stage, and the fuel injection amount q0 and the time t1 are combined to determine whether the vehicle is in a long-time low-load operating condition; if the fuel injection amount q is lower than the low-load fuel injection amount boundary q0 within the specified time t1, it is considered that the engine is in a long-time low-load operating condition, and the EH is turned on according to the specified power P2 to compensate for the decrease in aftertreatment temperature due to the decrease in load, and P2 is specified according to the low-load emission requirements to maintain the aftertreatment at an appropriate temperature. Or when the low-load emission is not considered, P3=0, to avoid waste of electric energy caused by long-time heating;
[0078] (c) otherwise, it is considered that the engine is not in the low load condition for a long time, but is still in the low temperature and low efficiency stage, at this time, the SCR conversion efficiency e is calculated by the two-way NOx emission values collected by the NOx sensor, if the calculated efficiency e is greater than e0, e0 is the minimum SCR conversion efficiency calibrated to meet the emission requirements in the low temperature and low efficiency stage. Then EH does not need to be started, otherwise it is considered that the current SCR conversion efficiency does not meet the emission requirements, and EH is started according to the rated power P1 to quickly warm up and improve the SCR efficiency.

[0087] In the exhaust gas aftertreatment device, the SCR exhaust gas temperature is obtained in real time. If the SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold, it indicates that the exhaust gas temperature is too low to affect the conversion efficiency of the SCR. Further, a plurality of fuel injection amounts in a predetermined time period are obtained. If all the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period are less than the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition, and the heater needs to be turned on to heat the exhaust gas. Otherwise, the temperature continues to decrease, which does not meet the NOx emission requirements. If any one of the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is not in a long-time low-load working condition, and the exhaust gas temperature will not continue to decrease. Therefore, the heater does not need to heat the exhaust gas. Compared with the prior art in which the exhaust gas is heated when the exhaust gas temperature is low, the electric energy is greatly saved, the problem of high power consumption of the exhaust gas heater in the prior art is solved, and the fuel consumption is saved without increasing the fuel injection amount to increase the exhaust gas temperature.
[0088] It should be noted that, as shown in Figure 2 The aftertreatment system further includes a particulate matter trap (DPF), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), an ammonia oxidation catalyst (ASC), and temperature sensors T3, T4, T5, and T6 for detecting the intake temperature of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), the intake temperature of the particulate matter trap (DPF), the intake temperature and the outlet temperature of the selective catalytic reduction device (SCR), respectively. The upstream and downstream of the aftertreatment system each have a NOx sensor 1 and a NOx sensor 2, respectively, for detecting the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas before the exhaust gas aftertreatment and the NOx concentration in the exhaust gas after the exhaust gas aftertreatment.
[0089] In order to ensure that the emission requirements are met, in an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The second control unit includes:
[0090] The first obtaining module is configured to, in a case where any one of the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, obtain a first NOx concentration and a second NOx concentration. The first NOx concentration is the NOx concentration of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the SCR, and the second NOx concentration is the NOx concentration of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the SCR.
[0091] The first calculation module is configured to calculate the conversion efficiency of the SCR according to the first NOx concentration and the second NOx concentration.
[0092] The first control module is configured to, in a case where the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency, control the heater to be turned on to heat the exhaust gas.
[0093] a second control module configured to control the heater to be turned off when the conversion efficiency of the SCR is greater than or equal to the predetermined conversion efficiency.
[0094] In the above embodiment, when any one of the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is not in a long-time low-load working condition, but the temperature is still low to cause low conversion efficiency, thereby failing to meet the NOx emission requirement. Therefore, in this case, the first NOx concentration and the second NOx concentration are obtained by detecting the NOx concentrations in the exhaust gas before and after the SCR through the NOx sensor 1 and the NOx sensor 2, the conversion efficiency of the SCR is calculated through the formula of conversion efficiency = (first NOx concentration-second NOx concentration) / first NOx concentration, and the heater needs to be turned on for exhaust gas heating when the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency. The EH is turned on at the rated power PI to rapidly increase the temperature and improve the conversion efficiency of the SCR, otherwise, the heater does not need to be turned on. The predetermined conversion efficiency can be selected according to actual needs, for example, 95%.
[0095] In order to further save electric energy, in an optional embodiment, the first control module comprises:
[0096] a first test submodule configured to test a plurality of first heating powers in a first scenario to obtain a plurality of first heating powers meeting the NOx emission requirement, the first scenario being a scenario in which the exhaust gas temperature of the SCR is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and any one of the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold;
[0097] a first determination submodule configured to determine the minimum value of the plurality of first heating powers meeting the NOx emission requirement as a first optimal heating power of the first scenario;
[0098] a first control submodule configured to control the heater to heat the exhaust gas at the first optimal heating power when the conversion efficiency of the SCR is less than the predetermined conversion efficiency.
[0099] In the above embodiment, the working condition in which the exhaust gas temperature of the SCR is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and any one of the fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold is set as the first scenario, and a plurality of calibrations are performed in the first scenario to find the minimum first heating power meeting the NOx emission requirement, i.e., to obtain the first optimal heating power. The first optimal heating power is used for exhaust gas heating in the subsequent first scenario to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met while reducing power consumption, saving electric energy, and relieving the electric power load pressure of the vehicle.

[0103] A fourth control module is configured to control the heater to be turned off if there is no NOx emission requirement in the long-time low-load working condition.
[0104] In the above embodiment, if the SCR exhaust gas temperature Tscr is less than TH, it is considered that the SCR enters a low-temperature and low-efficiency stage, and then the injection amount threshold value q0 and the predetermined time period t1 are used to determine whether the vehicle is in a long-time low-load working condition. If the injection amount q is less than the calibrated injection amount threshold value q0 in the predetermined time period t1, it is considered that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition. In order to meet the NOx emission requirement, the heater (EH) is turned on at a calibrated power P2 to compensate for the decrease in the exhaust gas temperature caused by the decrease in the load. P2 is calibrated according to the low-load emission requirement to maintain the aftertreatment at a suitable temperature. When the low-load emission is not considered, P3=0 to avoid waste of electric energy caused by long-time heating.
[0105] To further save electric energy, in an optional embodiment, the third control module comprises:
[0106] A second test submodule is configured to test a plurality of second heating powers in a second scenario to obtain a plurality of second heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement. The second scenario is a scenario in which the SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold value and all the injection amounts in the predetermined time period are less than the injection amount threshold value.
[0107] A second determination submodule is configured to determine the minimum value of the plurality of second heating powers that meet the NOx emission requirement as a second optimal heating power of the second scenario.
[0108] A second control submodule is configured to control the heater to heat exhaust gas at the second optimal heating power if there is the NOx emission requirement in the long-time low-load working condition.
[0109] In the above embodiment, the working condition in which the SCR exhaust gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold and the plurality of fuel injection amounts in the predetermined time length are all less than the fuel injection amount threshold is set as a second scenario, and the second optimal heating power is found by performing multiple calibrations in the second scenario to meet the NOx emission requirement, i.e., the second optimal heating power is obtained. In the subsequent second scenario, the second optimal heating power is used for exhaust gas heating when heating is required, so as to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met while reducing power consumption, saving electric energy, and relieving the electric quantity load pressure of the vehicle.
[0110] In order to obtain the SCR exhaust gas temperature, in an optional embodiment, the aftertreatment system further comprises a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor, the first temperature sensor is installed on the exhaust pipe between the SCR and the heater, and the second temperature sensor is installed on the exhaust pipe downstream of the SCR, and the first obtaining unit comprises:
[0111] The second obtaining module is configured to obtain the SCR pre-exhaust gas temperature and the SCR post-exhaust gas temperature in real time, the SCR pre-exhaust gas temperature is the temperature of the exhaust gas detected by the first temperature sensor, and the SCR post-exhaust gas temperature is the temperature of the exhaust gas detected by the second temperature sensor.
[0112] The second calculation module is configured to calculate the average value of the SCR pre-exhaust gas temperature and the SCR post-exhaust gas temperature to obtain the SCR exhaust gas temperature.
[0113] In the above embodiment, the temperature sensors T5 and T6 are used to selectively obtain the inlet temperature and outlet temperature of the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device, and the SCR exhaust gas temperature T scr = (T5+T6) / 2 is calculated to determine whether the SCR exhaust gas temperature Tscr is greater than the high-efficiency temperature threshold T H If the SCR exhaust gas temperature Tscr is less than TH, it is considered that the SCR enters a low-temperature and low-efficiency stage, and experiments show that the conversion efficiency of the SCR is above 95% when the average temperature is above 200℃, i.e., the high-efficiency temperature threshold T H may be 200℃. Of course, the high-efficiency temperature threshold T H of different types of SCR devices is different.

[0116] In the above embodiment, when the SCR exhaust gas temperature is greater than or equal to the high-efficiency temperature threshold, it indicates that the SCR is in a high-efficiency stage, and the entering of the cold start emission and the low load (low-temperature low-efficiency stage) is continuously monitored, and the first acquisition step, the second acquisition step, the first control step and the second control step are repeatedly performed at least once, so as to ensure that the NOx emission requirement is met while saving electric energy, until the engine stops running.

[0151] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:
[0152] 1) In the tail gas aftertreatment method of the present application, the SCR tail gas temperature is obtained in real time. If the SCR tail gas temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold, it indicates that the tail gas temperature is too low to affect the conversion efficiency of the SCR. Further, a plurality of fuel injection amounts within a predetermined time period are obtained. If all the fuel injection amounts within the predetermined time period are less than the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is in a long-time low-load working condition. Therefore, the heater needs to be controlled to be turned on for tail gas heating. Otherwise, the temperature will continue to decrease, resulting in non-compliance with the NOx emission requirements. If any of the above fuel injection amounts within the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine will not be in a long-time low-load working condition, and the tail gas temperature will not continue to decrease. Therefore, the heater is not needed to heat the tail gas. Compared with the prior art, the tail gas is heated when the tail gas temperature is low, which greatly saves electric energy, solves the problem of high power consumption of the tail gas heater in the prior art, and does not increase the fuel injection amount to increase the tail gas temperature, thereby saving fuel consumption.
[0153] 2) In the exhaust after-treatment device of the present application, the SCR exhaust temperature is obtained in real time. If the SCR exhaust temperature is less than the high-efficiency temperature threshold, it indicates that the exhaust temperature is too low, affecting the conversion efficiency of the SCR. Further, multiple fuel injection amounts within a predetermined time period are obtained. If the multiple fuel injection amounts within the predetermined time period are all less than the fuel injection amount threshold, it indicates that the engine is in a long-term low-load condition. In this case, it is necessary to control the heater to turn on for exhaust heating, otherwise the temperature continues to drop, resulting in failure to meet the NOx emission requirements. Any of the above-mentioned fuel injection amounts within the predetermined time period is greater than or equal to the above-mentioned fuel injection amount threshold, indicating that the engine will not be in a long-term low-load condition, the exhaust temperature will not continue to drop, and there is no need for a heater to heat the exhaust. Compared with the prior art in which the exhaust temperature is low and heating is performed, electric energy is greatly saved, the problem of high power consumption of the exhaust heater in the prior art is solved, and the fuel injection amount is not increased to increase the exhaust temperature, thus saving fuel consumption.
[0154] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
