Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive exhaust gas treatment technology, and in particular to a method for monitoring and optimizing the efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter based on sensor technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the pollution caused by vehicle exhaust emissions has become increasingly prominent. The three-way catalytic converter (TWC), as a core component of gasoline vehicle exhaust aftertreatment systems, effectively purifies vehicle exhaust by converting harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides generated during engine operation into harmless substances such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen for emission.
[0003] However, the catalytic efficiency of a three-way catalytic converter is affected by a variety of factors, such as the type and activity of the catalyst, the operating temperature of the converter, the exhaust pressure differential, and the concentration of pollutants. If a three-way catalytic converter operates under suboptimal conditions for an extended period, its catalytic efficiency will decrease, or it may even fail, thereby exacerbating vehicle exhaust pollution.
[0004] Traditional three-way catalytic converter monitoring mainly relies on oxygen sensor signals from the vehicle's after-treatment system and on-board diagnostics (OBD). However, these systems typically only detect the failure state of the catalytic converter and lack quantitative analysis of the catalytic process and assessment of catalytic compatibility. In actual vehicle operation, pollutant emission characteristics change dynamically due to variations in vehicle driving conditions and road attributes. For example, under low-speed congestion or idling conditions, incomplete combustion results in a higher proportion of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the exhaust gases. Under high-speed or high-load acceleration conditions, the combustion temperature increases, and the generation of nitrogen oxides rises significantly. Existing technologies cannot assess the compatibility between the emission requirements of different pollutants and the catalyst load capacity, leading to a mismatch between catalyst components and pollutant conversion requirements, which in turn raises the risk of exceeding exhaust emission standards.

It should be understood that the embodiments and specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of this application, rather than limitations thereof. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0052] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall process of the three-way catalytic converter efficiency monitoring and optimization method based on sensor technology provided in the embodiments of this application, which specifically includes the following steps:
[0053] S110: Collects vehicle operation data and road attribute data during vehicle operation, and collects 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 slope.
[0054] S120: Construct a pollutant emission model for vehicle exhaust and use the pollutant emission model to predict the characteristic data of pollutant emissions 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 pollutant emission characteristics under different operating conditions, thereby characterizing the dynamic emission patterns of pollutants under different operating conditions. This provides data support for subsequent analysis of the load adaptability of three-way catalytic converters. The pollutant emission model is constructed based on the microscopic exhaust emission model. It predicts the corresponding pollutant emission characteristics by combining the collected vehicle operation data and road attribute data during vehicle operation with the microscopic exhaust emission model. The microscopic exhaust emission model can be either the CMEM model or the MOVES model. Taking the CMEM model as an example, CMEM (Comprehensive Modal Emissions)... The CMEM model is a microscopic exhaust emission model that predicts the pollutant emission characteristics of different types of vehicles under different operating conditions based on vehicle operating status and road attributes. The CMEM model is based on vehicle modes, divides the driving process into several operating conditions (such as acceleration, deceleration and constant speed), and estimates the instantaneous engine load and fuel consumption based on the dynamic characteristics of each operating condition, thereby predicting the emissions of various pollutants such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. The construction process of the CMEM model includes: (1) establishing a vehicle dynamic model based on vehicle type parameters and calculating the required traction power per unit time; (2) estimating the instantaneous fuel consumption rate and air-fuel ratio based on engine efficiency and load curves; (3) establishing an emission factor function in combination with fuel type and combustion status to estimate the emissions of various pollutants per unit time; (4) driving the model operation through measured vehicle operating data to obtain high temporal resolution pollutant emission characteristic data. The CMEM model is widely used in traffic emission modeling research because of its sensitivity to instantaneous operating condition changes.
[0056] S130: Catalytic environment adaptability of three-way catalytic converters based on catalytic environment data analysis;
[0057] The catalytic reaction in a three-way catalytic converter is highly dependent on its operating temperature, operating pressure differential, and catalytic environment. A suitable operating temperature is a prerequisite for ensuring catalyst activity and reaction rate. Only when the operating temperature is within the ideal range can efficient conversion of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides be achieved. When the operating temperature deviates from this range, catalytic efficiency will decrease significantly, and may even lead to catalyst sintering or deactivation. Meanwhile, the operating pressure differential reflects the flow resistance and smoothness of the exhaust gas within the catalyst. An excessively large operating pressure differential may indicate catalyst blockage or carrier aging, while a too small differential may lead to gas flow short-circuiting or insufficient contact, both of which weaken the effective reaction between the exhaust gas and the catalyst. Therefore, collecting and analyzing catalytic environment data is fundamental to ensuring catalytic reaction efficiency and catalytic stability. Specific steps for analyzing the catalytic environment adaptability of a three-way catalytic converter include:
[0058] Acquire catalytic environment data during the operation of the three-way catalytic converter, including the operating temperature and operating pressure difference data of the three-way catalytic converter;
[0059] The catalytic environment adaptability factor is calculated based on operating temperature and operating pressure difference data. This factor is used to quantitatively analyze the catalytic environment adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter. The formula for calculating the catalytic environment adaptability factor is as follows:
[0060]
[0061] In the formula T cat For the operating temperature data of the three-way catalytic converter, T opt This is the median of the ideal operating temperature range for a three-way catalytic converter. Among them, T max T represents the upper limit of the ideal operating temperature range. min When T is the lower limit of the ideal operating temperature range, cat =T opt hour, This indicates that the three-way catalytic converter is operating at its optimal temperature. T σ is the standard deviation of the ideal operating temperature range of the three-way catalytic converter. T The larger the value, the wider the temperature fluctuation range that the three-way catalytic converter can tolerate. cat The operating pressure differential data for the three-way catalytic converter, P opt σ is the median of the ideal operating differential pressure range for a three-way catalytic converter. P η represents the standard deviation of the ideal operating differential pressure range of the three-way catalytic converter, α is the operating temperature adaptability weight, β is the operating differential pressure adaptability weight, and η is the standard deviation of the ideal operating differential pressure range of the three-way catalytic converter. E It is a catalytic environment adaptability factor.
[0062] S140: Analysis of the catalytic load adaptability of three-way catalytic converters based on catalyst property data and pollutant emission characteristic data;
[0063] The catalytic load adaptability of a three-way catalytic converter is a key indicator for measuring the degree to which its catalyst composition matches the actual pollutant emission requirements. It directly determines its purification efficiency and response capability. Different types of pollutants have different degrees of dependence on catalyst components. If the catalyst composition distribution ratio or total load 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, catalytic load adaptability not only affects the conversion effect of pollutants, but also relates to the catalyst life, emission compliance rate, and long-term stability of vehicle environmental performance. The specific steps for analyzing the catalytic load adaptability of a three-way catalytic converter include:
[0064] The catalytic activity of each catalyst component for specific pollutants was analyzed, and a catalyst loading capacity vector was constructed in combination with catalyst mass.

[0067] The product of the catalytic load structure adaptability factor and the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor is used as the catalytic load adaptability factor, which is used to analyze the catalytic load adaptability of the three-way catalytic converter.
[0068] By quantifying the catalytic capacity of each catalyst component for different types of pollutants and combining it with their actual loading mass, the actual loading capacity of the entire catalytic system when treating specific pollutants is scientifically reflected. Integrating the loading capacity into a vector form helps to intuitively represent and analyze the catalytic performance structure in a multi-dimensional space, and provides a data foundation for subsequent vector matching calculations with pollutant emission requirements. The specific steps for constructing the catalyst loading capacity vector include:
[0069] The catalytic capacity coefficient of each catalyst component for a specific pollutant and the mass of each catalyst component were determined by catalyst property data.
[0070] The product of the catalytic capacity coefficient of each catalyst component for a specific pollutant and the mass of the corresponding catalyst component is taken as the catalyst's loading capacity for the specific pollutant.
[0071] A catalyst loading capacity vector is constructed by the catalyst's loading capacity for different types of pollutants;
[0072] The catalytic load structure adaptability factor quantitatively measures the degree of matching between catalyst components and pollutant types and proportions by calculating the cosine similarity between the catalyst load capacity vector and the pollutant emission demand vector, reflecting the catalytic structure matching. The catalytic load capacity adaptability factor, based on the ratio of vector moduli, reflects the capacity matching between the total catalyst capacity and the actual total pollution load, demonstrating sufficient adaptability of the catalytic intensity. The specific steps for calculating the catalytic load structure adaptability factor and the catalytic load capacity adaptability factor include:
[0073] The cosine similarity between the catalyst loading capacity vector and the pollutant emission demand vector is used as the catalyst loading structure adaptability factor.
[0074] The ratio of the pollutant emission demand vector magnitude to the catalyst loading capacity vector magnitude is used as the total catalyst loading ratio. The catalyst loading capacity adaptability factor is calculated using the total catalyst loading ratio. The formula for calculating the catalyst loading capacity adaptability factor is as follows:
[0075]
[0076] In the formula, ||D|| is the vector magnitude of pollutant emission demand, and ||C|| is the vector magnitude of catalyst loading capacity. This refers to the total catalyst loading ratio. This indicates that the catalytic load capacity adaptation factor is activated only when pollutant emission demand exceeds the catalyst load capacity, where δ is the catalytic load adaptation weight, and η is the catalyst load capacity adaptation factor. R This is the catalytic loading capacity adaptability factor.
[0077] S150: Optimization suggestions are generated based on the comprehensive analysis results of catalytic environment adaptability and catalytic load adaptability;
[0078] By analyzing the correlation between catalytic environment compatibility factors and catalytic load compatibility factors, key issues affecting catalytic efficiency can be effectively identified, namely, catalytic environment matching issues or catalytic capacity matching issues, and targeted optimization measures can be generated. The specific steps for generating optimization suggestions by integrating the analysis results of catalytic environment compatibility and catalytic load compatibility include:
[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 optimization measures include adding heat insulation 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. Optimization measures include supplementing the loading 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.
[0082] In one embodiment of this application, the parameters such as operating temperature adaptability weight, operating pressure difference adaptability weight, catalytic load adaptability weight, preset catalytic environment adaptability threshold, and preset catalytic load adaptability threshold can be determined by: constructing a dataset by collecting vehicle operation data, road attribute data, catalytic environment data, and catalyst attribute data; substituting these data into the calculation formulas for catalytic environment adaptability factor and catalytic load capacity adaptability factor; simultaneously obtaining expert judgment results on catalytic environment adaptability and catalytic load capacity adaptability; importing the calculated catalytic environment adaptability factor, catalytic load capacity adaptability factor, and judgment results into fitting software; and outputting the operating temperature adaptability weight, operating pressure difference adaptability weight, catalytic load adaptability weight, preset catalytic environment adaptability threshold, and preset catalytic load adaptability threshold that meet the maximum judgment accuracy.
