Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive exhaust treatment, and particularly to a method for monitoring and optimizing the efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter based on sensor technology. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the problem of environmental pollution caused by vehicle exhaust emissions has become increasingly prominent. As the core component of the gasoline vehicle exhaust after-treatment system, the three-way catalytic converter (TWC) converts harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides generated during the operation of the vehicle engine into harmless substances such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen for emission, thereby effectively purifying the vehicle exhaust.
[0003] However, the catalytic efficiency of the three-way catalytic converter is affected by various factors. For example, the type and activity of the catalyst, the operating temperature of the catalytic converter, the exhaust pressure difference, and the composition concentration of pollutants will all affect the catalytic effect of the three-way catalytic converter. If the three-way catalytic converter operates under non-ideal conditions for a long time, it will lead to a decrease in catalytic efficiency or even failure, which will further exacerbate vehicle exhaust pollution.
[0004] Traditional monitoring of three-way catalytic converters mainly relies on the oxygen sensor signal in the on-vehicle emission after-treatment system and the on-board diagnostics (OBD). However, it usually only detects the failure state of the catalytic converter and lacks quantitative analysis of the catalytic process and evaluation of catalytic adaptability. During the actual driving process of the vehicle, the pollutant emission characteristics will change dynamically due to changes in the vehicle driving state and road attributes. For example, under low-speed congestion or idle conditions, the engine combustion is incomplete, and the proportion of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas is relatively high. Under high-speed or heavy-load acceleration conditions, the combustion temperature rises, and the generation amount of nitrogen oxides increases significantly. The existing technology cannot perform adaptability evaluation for the emission requirements of different pollutants and the catalyst load capacity, resulting in a mismatch between the catalyst components and the pollutant conversion requirements, and further leading to the risk of exceeding the exhaust emission standard.

[0051] The technical solution of the present application will be described in detail below through the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical solution of the present application. Without conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present application and the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is an overall flowchart of a method for monitoring and optimizing the efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter based on sensor technology provided by an embodiment of the present application, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0053] S110: Collect vehicle operation data and road attribute data during vehicle driving, and collect catalytic environment data and catalyst attribute data during the operation of the three-way catalytic converter. Among them, the vehicle operation data includes vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, engine load, throttle opening, intake and exhaust temperature, and air-fuel ratio, and the road attribute data includes road alignment and road gradient.
[0054] S120: Build a pollutant emission model for vehicle exhaust and use the pollutant emission model to predict the pollutant emission characteristic data in vehicle exhaust;
[0055] By integrating vehicle operation data and road attribute data and running a mature microscopic exhaust emission model, it is possible to effectively predict the pollutant emission characteristics under different working conditions, and then depict the dynamic emission law of pollutants under different working conditions, providing data support for subsequent analysis of the load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter. The pollutant emission model is built based on the microscopic exhaust emission model. By combining the collected vehicle operation data and road attribute data during vehicle driving with the microscopic exhaust emission model, the corresponding pollutant emission characteristic data is predicted. Among them, the microscopic exhaust emission model is any one of the CMEM model and the MOVES model. Taking the CMEM model as an example, the CMEM (Comprehensive Modal Emissions Model) model is a microscopic exhaust emission model. It predicts the pollutant emission characteristics of different types of vehicles under different working conditions based on the vehicle operation state and road attributes. The CMEM model is based on the vehicle mode, divides the driving process into several working condition segments (such as acceleration, deceleration, and constant speed, etc.), and estimates the instantaneous engine load and fuel consumption based on the dynamic characteristics of each working condition segment, and then predicts the emissions of various pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. The construction process of the CMEM model includes: (1) Establish a vehicle dynamics model based on vehicle type parameters and calculate the traction power required per unit time; (2) Estimate the instantaneous fuel consumption rate and air-fuel ratio based on the engine efficiency and load curve; (3) Combine the fuel type and combustion conditions to establish an emission factor function and estimate the emissions of various pollutants per unit time; (4) Drive the model to run through the measured vehicle operation data to obtain high-time-resolution pollutant emission characteristic data. The CMEM model is widely used in traffic emission modeling research because of its sensitive response to instantaneous working condition changes.
[0056] S130: Analyze the catalytic environment adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter based on the catalytic environment data;
[0057] The catalytic reaction of a three-way catalytic converter highly depends on its working temperature, working pressure difference, and catalytic environment. An appropriate working temperature is a prerequisite for ensuring the catalyst activity and reaction rate. Only when the working temperature is within the ideal working temperature range can efficient conversion of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides be achieved. When the working temperature deviates from this range, the catalytic efficiency will drop significantly, even leading to catalyst sintering or deactivation. At the same time, the working pressure difference reflects the flow resistance and smoothness of the exhaust gas in the catalytic converter. An excessive working pressure difference may indicate catalytic converter blockage or carrier aging, while a too small one may result in gas flow short - circuit or insufficient contact, both of which will weaken the effective reaction between the exhaust gas and the catalyst. Therefore, collecting and analyzing catalytic environment data is the basis for ensuring catalytic reaction efficiency and catalytic stability. The specific steps for analyzing the catalytic environment adaptability of a three-way catalytic converter are as follows:
[0058] Obtain the catalytic environment data during the operation of the three-way catalytic converter. The catalytic environment data includes the working temperature data and working pressure difference data of the three-way catalytic converter;
[0059] Calculate the catalytic environment adaptability factor based on the working temperature data and working pressure difference data. The catalytic environment adaptability factor is used to quantitatively analyze the catalytic environment adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter. The calculation formula for the catalytic environment adaptability factor is:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula, T cat is the working temperature data of the three-way catalytic converter, T opt is the median of the ideal working temperature range of the three-way catalytic converter, where, T max is the upper temperature limit of the ideal working temperature range, T min is the lower temperature limit of the ideal working temperature range. When T cat = T opt it means that the working temperature of the three-way catalytic converter is in the optimal temperature state, σ T is the standard deviation of the ideal working temperature range of the three-way catalytic converter. The larger σ T is, the wider the temperature difference fluctuation range that the three-way catalytic converter can accept. P cat is the working pressure difference data of the three-way catalytic converter, P opt is the median of the ideal working pressure difference range of the three-way catalytic converter, σ P is the standard deviation of the ideal working pressure difference range of the three-way catalytic converter, α is the working temperature adaptability weight, β is the working pressure difference adaptability weight, and η E is the catalytic environment adaptability factor.
[0062] S140: Analyze the catalytic load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter based on catalyst property data and pollutant emission characteristic data;
[0063] The catalytic load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter is a key indicator to measure the matching degree between its catalyst composition and the actual pollutant emission requirements, directly determining its purification efficiency and response ability. Different types of pollutants have different dependencies on catalyst components. If the catalyst component ratio or total loading capacity cannot meet the actual emission structure and concentration level of pollutants in the exhaust gas, problems such as catalyst overload, insufficient local reaction, or low catalytic efficiency will occur. Therefore, the catalytic load adaptability not only affects the conversion effect of pollutants but also relates to the catalyst's lifespan, emission compliance rate, and long-term stability of the vehicle's environmental performance. The specific steps for analyzing the catalytic load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter include:
[0064] Analyze the catalytic activity of each catalyst component for specific pollutants and construct a catalyst load capacity vector in combination with the catalyst mass;

[0067] Take the product of the catalytic load structure adaptability factor and the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor as the catalytic load adaptability factor, and the catalytic load adaptability factor is used to analyze the catalytic load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter;
[0068] By quantifying the catalytic ability of each catalyst component for different types of pollutants and combining its actual loading mass, it scientifically reflects the actual load capacity of the entire catalytic system when dealing with specific pollutants. Integrating the load capacity into a vector form helps to intuitively represent and analyze the catalytic performance structure in a multi-dimensional space and provides a data basis for subsequent vector matching calculations with pollutant emission requirements. The specific steps for constructing the catalyst load capacity vector include:
[0069] Determine the catalytic ability coefficient of each catalyst component for specific pollutants and the mass of each catalyst component through catalyst property data;
[0070] Take the product of the catalytic ability coefficient of each catalyst component for specific pollutants and the corresponding catalyst component mass as the load capacity of the catalyst for specific pollutants;
[0071] Construct a catalyst load capacity vector through the load capacity of the catalyst for different types of pollutants;
[0072] The catalytic load structure adaptability factor quantitatively measures the matching degree between the catalyst component and the type and proportion of pollutants by calculating the cosine similarity between the catalyst load capacity vector and the pollutant emission demand vector, reflecting the catalytic structure matching situation. The catalytic load capacity adaptability factor is based on the ratio of vector norms, reflecting the capacity matching situation between the total catalyst capacity and the total actual pollution load, and reflecting the adaptability of sufficient catalytic intensity. The specific steps for calculating the catalytic load structure adaptability factor and the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor are as follows:
[0073] Take the cosine similarity between the catalyst load capacity vector and the pollutant emission demand vector as the catalytic load structure adaptability factor;
[0074] Take the ratio of the norm of the pollutant emission demand vector to the norm of the catalyst load capacity vector as the total catalyst load ratio, and calculate the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor through the total catalyst load ratio. The calculation formula for the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor is:
[0075]
[0076] In the formula, ||D|| is the norm of the pollutant emission demand vector, and ||C|| is the norm of the catalyst load capacity vector. is the total catalyst load ratio. Indicates that the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor is only enabled when the pollutant emission demand exceeds the catalyst load capacity. δ is the catalytic load adaptability weight, and η R is the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor.
[0077] S150: Generate optimization suggestions by integrating the analysis results of catalytic environment adaptability and catalytic load adaptability;
[0078] Through the linkage analysis of the catalytic environment adaptability factor and the catalytic load adaptability factor, the key problems affecting the catalytic efficiency can be effectively identified, namely the catalytic environment matching problem or the catalytic capacity matching problem, and targeted optimization measures can be generated. The specific steps for generating optimization suggestions by integrating the analysis results of catalytic environment adaptability and catalytic load adaptability are as follows:
[0079] When the catalytic environment adaptability factor is less than the preset catalytic environment adaptability threshold, it is recommended to optimize the catalytic environment adaptability. The catalytic environment adaptability optimization measures include adding a heat insulation and heat preservation structure to the exhaust system and replacing the catalyst carrier;
[0080] When the catalytic load adaptability factor is less than the preset catalytic load adaptability threshold, it is recommended to optimize the catalytic load adaptability. The catalytic load adaptability optimization measures include supplementing the loading amount of specific catalyst components and replacing the three-way catalytic converter;
[0081] When the catalytic environment adaptability factor is greater than or equal to the preset catalytic environment adaptability threshold and the catalytic load adaptability factor is greater than or equal to the preset catalytic load adaptability threshold, the current operating state of the three-way catalytic converter remains unchanged.
