[0020] Figure 4It is a structural diagram of an electronic device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Detailed implementation manners

[0021] Next, exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the present application is not limited by the exemplary embodiments described herein.

[0022] Figure 1 It is a schematic flow chart of a method for diagnosing the conversion efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, the method for diagnosing the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter includes the following steps: Step 110: Obtain the operating state parameters of the target vehicle.

[0023] The present application obtains the operating state parameters of the target vehicle in real time through a remote platform, including relevant data collected by sensors installed on the target vehicle, such as vehicle speed, engine speed, engine intake air volume, engine fuel flow rate, output values of oxygen sensors upstream and downstream of the three-way catalytic converter, etc. Among them, the oxygen sensor is an important component of the three-way catalytic converter system. Generally, one is arranged upstream and downstream of the three-way catalytic converter respectively. There are two common types of oxygen sensors, namely the wide-range oxygen sensor and the switching-type oxygen sensor. Their output characteristic curves are different. The wide-range oxygen sensor is generally installed upstream of the three-way catalytic converter to monitor the oxygen content in the exhaust gas before entering the three-way catalytic converter and output the excess air coefficient value, which is mainly used for stoichiometric ratio combustion control. The switching-type oxygen sensor is installed downstream of the three-way catalytic converter to monitor the oxygen content in the exhaust gas after being treated by the three-way catalytic converter and output a voltage signal. When the oxygen content in the exhaust gas is near the stoichiometric ratio, the voltage output signal jumps, which is mainly used to assist in calculating the oxygen storage capacity of the three-way catalytic converter.

[0024] Step 120: Determine the operating state of the target vehicle based on the operating state parameters.

[0025] After the present application obtains the operating state parameters of the target vehicle, it judges the operating state of the target vehicle based on the real-time operating state parameters of the target vehicle, that is, determines which operating state the target vehicle is currently in according to the operating state parameters of the target vehicle, such as the driving state, the coasting state, etc.

[0026] Step 130: If the operating state of the target vehicle is the coasting state, calculate the coasting cumulative parameters of the target vehicle.

[0027] Among them, the cumulative coasting parameter represents the cumulative value of the characteristic parameters of the target vehicle in the coasting state. When this application determines that the target vehicle is in the coasting state (at this time, the engine speed is relatively low and the engine fuel flow is relatively small), it calculates the cumulative coasting parameter of the target vehicle in the current coasting state to determine the oxygen storage situation of the target vehicle in the current coasting state (since the intake air volume of the target vehicle is greater than the fuel injection volume in the coasting state, the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust gas is relatively large, and at this time, the three-way catalytic converter is in the oxygen storage process).

[0028] Step 140: If the cumulative coasting parameter meets the preset condition, calculate the cyclic oxygen storage amount within the second time from the first time when the target vehicle exits the coasting state to when the three-way catalytic converter completes oxygen release.

[0029] If the target vehicle meets the preset condition (i.e., oxygen storage is completed) during the current coasting, calculate the cyclic oxygen storage amount within the second time from the first time when the target vehicle exits the coasting state (the engine resumes fuel supply) to when oxygen release is completed (as Figure 2 shown), that is, calculate the oxygen release amount during the process from the completion of one oxygen storage to the completion of oxygen release of the target vehicle (i.e., the maximum oxygen storage amount that the three-way catalytic converter may reach) to determine the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter.

[0030] Step 150: Based on the cyclic oxygen storage amount, determine the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle.

[0031] Since the conversion amount of the three-way catalytic converter is positively correlated with the amount of oxygen it can store, therefore, using the oxygen storage amount as an indicator to measure the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter can accurately reflect the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter. After this application calculates the oxygen release amount during the process from the completion of one oxygen storage to the completion of oxygen release of the target vehicle, it diagnoses the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle based on this oxygen release amount to ensure the diagnostic accuracy rate.

[0032] A method for diagnosing the conversion efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter provided by this application obtains the operating state parameters of a target vehicle; determines the operating state of the target vehicle based on the operating state parameters; if the operating state of the target vehicle is a coasting state, calculates the coasting cumulative parameter of the target vehicle; wherein, the coasting cumulative parameter represents the cumulative value of the characteristic parameters of the target vehicle in the coasting state; if the coasting cumulative parameter meets the preset condition, calculates the cyclic oxygen storage amount within the second time from the first time when the target vehicle exits the coasting state to when the three-way catalytic converter completes oxygen release; determines the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle based on the cyclic oxygen storage amount; that is, during the operation of the target vehicle, its operating state is determined according to its operating state parameters. If the target vehicle is in the coasting state, the coasting cumulative parameter is calculated, and after meeting the preset condition, the cyclic oxygen storage amount is calculated to determine the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle, so that the oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle during an oxygen storage to oxygen release cycle process can be accurately calculated, and then the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter can be accurately calculated to more accurately evaluate the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle. And through remote monitoring, remote emission monitoring of vehicles (especially heavy vehicles) can be realized to remotely and real-time identify over-emitting vehicles, thereby improving the environmental protection supervision intensity and effect.

[0033] In one embodiment, the operating state parameters include the vehicle speed and engine speed of the target vehicle; wherein, the specific implementation manner of the above step 120 can be: if the vehicle speed is zero or continuously decreasing, and the engine speed is greater than or equal to the idle speed, then determine that the operating state of the target vehicle is the coasting state.

[0034] This application determines whether the target vehicle is in the coasting state by the vehicle speed and engine speed of the target vehicle. When the vehicle speed is zero (i.e., idling at a stop) or continuously decreasing (the vehicle speed is in a downward state, i.e., free coasting or braking coasting), and the engine speed is greater than or equal to the idle speed (and the difference between the engine speed and the idle speed is less than the preset speed difference), then it can be determined that the operating state of the target vehicle is the coasting state (as Figure 2 shown), and at this time the target vehicle is in the oxygen storage process.

[0035] In one embodiment, the specific implementation manner of the above step 130 can be: calculate the coasting duration and the maximum value of the excess air coefficient of the target vehicle in the coasting state.

[0036] When it is determined that the target vehicle is in the oxygen storage process, it is determined whether the oxygen storage of the target vehicle is completed by judging the cumulative parameters during the oxygen storage process of the target vehicle. Specifically, this application calculates the coasting duration (the duration of the oxygen storage process) and the maximum value (or cumulative value, which increases as the oxygen storage amount continuously increases) of the excess air coefficient of the target vehicle in the coasting state, and determines whether the oxygen storage process of the target vehicle is completed based on the coasting duration and the maximum value of the excess air coefficient.

[0037] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of step 140 may be: if the coasting duration is greater than a preset duration threshold and the maximum value of the excess air coefficient is greater than a preset value, calculate the cyclic oxygen storage amount.

[0038] If the coasting duration is greater than a preset duration threshold and the maximum value of the excess air coefficient is greater than a preset value, for example, the coasting duration is greater than 60 seconds and the maximum value of the excess air coefficient is greater than 1.05, that is, (the maximum value of the excess air coefficient - 1) > 0.05, it is determined that the oxygen storage process of the target vehicle is completed. At this time, the oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle (i.e., the oxygen release amount after oxygen storage is completed) can be calculated.

[0039] Optionally, if there is no coasting state that meets the preset conditions during the current driving process of the target vehicle, a fixed time frame can be used to move on the curve of the operating state parameters of the target vehicle during the current time (such as the vehicle speed curve) to intercept multiple segments of the curve, and calculate the proportion of the coasting state within each segment of the curve. If there is a curve with a proportion greater than a preset proportion threshold, it indicates that the target vehicle has basically completed oxygen storage during this time period. Then, select the curve corresponding to the maximum proportion as the target curve, and use the end point of the last coasting state curve in the target curve as the above-mentioned first time to calculate the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter during the current driving process of the target vehicle.

[0040] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of step 140 may be: calculate the cyclic oxygen storage amount based on the excess air coefficient and the engine intake air flow of the target vehicle from the first time to the second time.

[0041] After determining that the target vehicle has completed oxygen storage, when the target vehicle exits the coasting state and enters the driving state (i.e., the engine resumes fuel supply), it is recorded as the first time, and when the three-way catalytic converter finishes oxygen release, it is recorded as the second time (specifically, it can be determined by the output value of the oxygen sensor downstream of the three-way catalytic converter. When the output value of the oxygen sensor downstream of the three-way catalytic converter jumps from a low voltage signal to a high voltage signal, the three-way catalytic converter finishes oxygen release). In this application, the cyclic oxygen storage amount is calculated based on the excess air coefficient and the engine intake air flow of the target vehicle from the first time to the second time.

[0042] In one embodiment, the specific implementation of step 140 may be: the calculation formula for the cyclic oxygen storage amount is: ; where OSC is the cyclic oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle, λ is the excess air coefficient measured by the upstream oxygen sensor, Q is the intake air flow of the engine, t 1 is the first time when the target vehicle exits the coasting condition, t 2 is the second time when the three-way catalytic converter completes oxygen release.

[0043] In this application, the intake air flow rate and the integral of the excess air coefficient of the engine with respect to time during the entire oxygen release process of the target vehicle are calculated to determine the actual oxygen release amount during the oxygen release process, that is, to determine the oxygen storage amount of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle (as Figure 2 shown).

[0044] In one embodiment, the specific implementation manner of the above step 150 may be: based on the cyclic oxygen storage amount and the maximum oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle, determine the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle.

[0045] After calculating the cyclic oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle, combine the maximum oxygen storage amount of the new three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle OSC max (which can be pre-measured and calibrated). If the cyclic oxygen storage amount of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle OSC<kOSC max , then it is determined that the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle is low, and the target vehicle has a risk of excessive emissions. Otherwise, it is determined that the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle is high, and the target vehicle has no risk of excessive emissions. Among them, k The value range of is 0 to 1. For example k = 0.5.

If the target vehicle is in the coasting state, the coasting cumulative parameter is calculated, and after meeting the preset condition, the cyclic oxygen storage amount is calculated to determine the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle, so that the oxygen storage amount of the target vehicle during an oxygen storage to oxygen release cycle process can be accurately calculated, and then the conversion efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter can be accurately calculated to more accurately evaluate the three-way catalytic converter of the target vehicle.
