TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of urea injection and fuel injection control, in particular to a double-SCR urea injection and fuel injection collaborative control method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Diesel engines are widely used due to their unique advantages, but nitrogen oxides (NO x ) in diesel engine exhausts are extremely harmful due to their participation in the formation of photochemical smog. In order to reduce the impact of heavy-duty diesel vehicle emissions on the environment, urea selective catalytic reduction technology (Urea Selective Catalytic Reduction, Ure-SCR) has become one of the most effective technologies for reducing NO x emissions.
[0003] A large number of studies have shown that when the engine is at low load, low exhaust temperature is not conducive to the conversion of NO X by SCR, and is not conducive to the reduction reaction of harmful nitrogen oxides by SCR, so under normal circumstances, post-injection in the cylinder is required to increase the exhaust temperature after the turbine, which results in waste of diesel and urea.
[0004] Therefore, the current major manufacturers develop the next stage of aftertreatment technology route ccSCR+DOC+DPF+SCR route, and for the new structure ccSCR+DOC+DPF+SCR route, the fuel post-injection nozzle is arranged after the front-stage SCR (ccSCR), based on this structure, the technology of double-SCR urea and fuel injection control is unreasonable in collaborative control distribution, resulting in urea leakage and pollution of the environment. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application is aimed at the problems of urea leakage, ammonia coverage fluctuation, and low fuel injection coupling efficiency in the process of NOx emission control and DPF regeneration in the existing diesel engine exhaust aftertreatment system, and provides a double-SCR urea injection and fuel injection collaborative control method, which aims to achieve an optimized balance between high-efficiency conversion and resource consumption of NO x . The method controls the injection amount of urea of the front-stage and rear-stage SCR and collaboratively controls the fuel injection of the DPF active regeneration system, thereby achieving high-efficiency removal of harmful nitrogen oxides, ensuring that the DPF does not produce HC poisoning phenomenon, reducing urea leakage and fuel injection amount, and improving the economy of the aftertreatment system.
[0006] The present application is achieved by the following technical solutions:
[0007] The dual-SCR urea injection and fuel injection coordinated control method is based on an exhaust aftertreatment system composed of ccSCR+DOC+DPF+SCR technology. This exhaust aftertreatment system consists of a ccSCR (pre-stage SCR), a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and a post-stage SCR arranged sequentially in the exhaust manifold, including:
[0008] Monitor the temperature of the upstream SCR, the temperature of the DPF, the carbon loading, and the pressure difference;
[0009] When the carbon loading and pressure difference are less than their respective thresholds, the urea injection of the pre-stage SCR and the post-stage SCR is controlled in stages according to the monitored temperature of the pre-stage SCR: at the first preset temperature, urea injection is carried out in the pre-stage SCR-dominant mode; at the second preset temperature, urea injection is carried out in the post-stage SCR-dominant mode; at the third preset temperature, within the range of the ammonia coverage of the post-stage SCR, the injection ratio of the pre-stage SCR and the post-stage SCR is adjusted based on the calculated sliding mode error rate of the pre-stage SCR.
[0010] When the carbon load or pressure difference exceeds its respective threshold, the DPF actively heats up, dynamically adjusting the fuel injection nozzle opening based on the DPF's temperature change rate and performing feedforward compensation; urea injection is then performed in the subsequent SCR-dominated mode, and within the range of the subsequent SCR ammonia coverage, urea injection is based on NO... x The outlet concentration, the carrier temperature of the pre-stage SCR, and the calculated sliding mode error rate of the pre-stage SCR are used to correct the urea injection amount of the pre-stage SCR.
[0011] Specifically, in the pre-stage SCR-dominated mode, the proportion of urea injection by the pre-stage SCR to the total urea injection of the pre-stage SCR and the post-stage SCR is at least greater than 90%; in the post-stage SCR-dominated mode, the proportion of urea injection by the post-stage SCR to the total urea injection of the pre-stage SCR and the post-stage SCR is at least greater than 90%.
[0012] Among them, the dynamic adjustment of fuel injection quantity and nozzle opening based on the DPF temperature change rate is achieved by controlling the nozzle opening within the nozzle opening range based on the temperature deviation between the target DPF temperature and the actual DPF temperature, using a PID closed loop.

If the ammonia coverage of the downstream SCR exceeds the set threshold, the urea injection rate of the downstream SCR is reduced, and the urea injection rate of the upstream SCR is adjusted, including reducing the urea injection rate of the upstream SCR.
[0026] Among them, NO, controlled by PID, passes through the output of the subsequent SCR. x The outlet concentration feedback dynamically corrects the urea injection rate of the upstream SCR, including:

[0047] In the urea selective catalytic reduction system, the working principle of the catalyst is as follows:
[0048] When the urea aqueous solution is injected into the inlet of the SCR system, the urea aqueous solution is decomposed into gaseous ammonia under high temperature conditions. The decomposition process will undergo three steps of thermal chemical conversion, namely urea dissolution evaporation, thermal decomposition and isocyanic acid hydrolysis; thereafter, the generated gaseous ammonia will be adsorbed on the active sites of the catalyst and simultaneously undergo dissociation reaction; finally, NO X will react with ammonia under the action of the catalyst to generate water and nitrogen. The above reaction equations are as follows:

[0062] Because NO accounts for more than 90% of NO X , formula (5) is called the standard SCR reaction. Formula (6) is the fast SCR reaction, which has a much faster reaction rate than the standard reaction. In the case of equimolar amounts of NO and NO2, formula (7) is the slow SCR reaction, which has a lower reaction rate than the pure NO2 reaction. Among them, the forward reaction rate of formula (4) is r1, and the reverse reaction rate is r2. The reaction rates of formula (5), formula (6), and formula (7) are r3, r4, and r5, respectively.

X x
[0075] In the embodiment of the application, in the running process, the temperature of the front-stage SCR is monitored in real time, and the injection state of the front-stage SCR and the rear-stage SCR is controlled based on the above-mentioned strategy according to the temperature of the front-stage SCR, wherein the third preset temperature is the injection cooperative control of the front-stage SCR and the rear-stage SCR, and the first preset temperature and the second preset temperature are the front-stage SCR dominant and the rear-stage SCR dominant respectively.
[0076] In the active regeneration mode, the DPF is actively heated, the fuel injection amount is dynamically adjusted based on the temperature change rate of the DPF to adjust the nozzle opening degree and perform feedforward compensation, within the range of the maximum value and the minimum value of the ammonia coverage rate, the NOx conversion rate of the rear-stage SCR, the carrier temperature of the front-stage SCR and the calculated sliding mode error rate of the front-stage SCR are used to correct the urea injection amount of the front-stage SCR. x
[0077] In the embodiment of the application, the pressure difference of the DPF can be calculated by the pressures measured by the third pressure sensor 13 and the fourth pressure sensor 14 arranged at the inlet and the outlet of the DPF, for example, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the carbon loading threshold value (msoot) can be 5 g / L, and the pressure difference threshold value (ΔP) can be 15 kPa.
[0078] In the embodiment, in the front SCR dominant mode, the urea injection amount of the front SCR is at least greater than 90% or higher of the total urea injection amount of the front SCR and the rear SCR; in the rear SCR dominant mode, the urea injection amount of the rear SCR is at least greater than 90% or higher of the total urea injection amount of the front SCR and the rear SCR.
[0079] In the embodiment, the fuel injection nozzle opening degree is dynamically adjusted based on the temperature change rate of the DPF, and feedforward compensation is performed, the DPF nozzle is controlled to perform fuel injection, which is based on the temperature deviation between the DPF target temperature and the obtained DPF actual temperature, and the nozzle opening degree of the third nozzle 43 is controlled by closed-loop PID control in the nozzle opening degree range, to ensure stable regeneration temperature and reduce HC poisoning risk. In the embodiment, the upper limit and the lower limit of the opening degree of the third nozzle 43 are preset, and in the closed-loop PID control, the control parameters of the opening degree of the third nozzle 43 are controlled within the range of the upper limit and the lower limit of the opening degree.
[0080] In the embodiment, the fuel injection control of the DPF nozzle is performed by using the feedforward-feedback compound control mode, which can use the following model:
[0081] The feedforward control formula is as follows: ;
[0082] The fuel injection control formula is as follows:
[0083] ;
[0084] ;
[0085] In the formula, is the opening degree based on the regeneration temperature correction time; represents the fuel injection amount of the feedforward control output, represents the feedforward gain, represents the change rate of the DPF temperature ; represents the fuel injection adjustment amount of the PID controller output, is the control parameter of the fuel nozzle opening degree, is the temperature deviation; is the integral control coefficient of the opening degree, is the differential control coefficient of the opening degree; represents the final output fuel injection amount, is the integral term of the error, is the change rate of the error, de(t) is the differential time, represents the change rate of the DPF temperature.
[0086] In the DPF active warming process, on one hand, the urea injection amount of the front SCR is dynamically corrected according to the outlet concentration of NO x , and if the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR is monitored to exceed a threshold value, the urea injection amount of the rear SCR is reduced; on the other hand, the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR is estimated according to the temperature rise, the urea injection amount of the rear SCR is corrected based on the calculated sliding mode error rate of the front SCR, and the urea injection amount of the front SCR is feedback adjusted according to the carrier temperature of the front SCR and the conversion efficiency of NO x , so as to realize the cooperative control of the front SCR and the rear SCR.
[0087] After the DPF enters the active regeneration mode, in the active regeneration process, the DPF is in a high temperature stage (above 300 DEG C), the DPF is actively warmed up, the back pressure is reduced, and the particulate matters in the DPF are removed.
[0088] In the first preset temperature, the urea injection is performed in the front SCR dominant mode, in the second preset temperature, the urea injection is performed in the rear SCR dominant mode, the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR and the conversion rate of NO x are monitored in real time, when the ammonia coverage rate θ NH3 of the rear SCR is monitored to exceed a set threshold value at the third preset temperature and in the DPF active warming process, the injection amount correction of the front SCR is triggered, the urea injection amount of the front SCR is constrained by the SMC controller, the injection proportion of the front SCR and the rear SCR is adjusted, and the urea injection amount of the front SCR is increased.
[0089] In the third preset temperature and in the DPF active warming process, the SMC controller calculates the sliding mode error rate of the front SCR to constrain the ammonia coverage rate tracking error of the rear SCR within a preset threshold value, so that the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR is within a given threshold value, so as to balance the reaction rate, including:
[0090] The ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR and the time change rate thereof are calculated by the ammonia coverage rate dynamic correction formula;

[0094] Let , the control variable U be the ammonia concentration, and the X1 desired value be , let the sliding mode surface tracking error be , control the ammonia coverage rate tracking error within a preset threshold, such as within 5% (≤5%), ensure that the ammonia coverage rate does not exceed the given threshold, and does not cause ammonia leakage, and suppress the NH3 oxidation side reaction (such as generating N2O) at high temperature.
[0095] The embodiments of the present application constrain the ammonia coverage rate tracking error (such as ≤5%) by introducing sliding mode control, dynamically adjust the ammonia injection amount (the corresponding urea injection amount can be derived by the determined ammonia injection amount), and the control effect is more accurate than PID control, has strong robustness, fast dynamic response, is more suitable for the nonlinear system, and also has high disturbance line, and can effectively suppress ammonia leakage.
[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, at the second preset temperature, the NO x conversion efficiency of the rear SCR is above 90%, and plays a leading role. In the embodiments of the present application, at the second preset temperature, the rear SCR plays a leading role, at the third preset temperature, the front SCR injection amount correction program is triggered, and the urea injection amount of the front SCR and the rear SCR is in a cooperative control mode: if the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR exceeds the threshold of the ammonia coverage rate corresponding to the third preset temperature, the urea injection amount of the front SCR should be adjusted to avoid overloading of the rear SCR, and ensure that the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR does not exceed the given threshold, and does not cause ammonia leakage.
[0097] Specifically, according to the outlet concentration of NO x collected by the sensor in real time, the urea injection amount of the front SCR is dynamically corrected by feedback, when the ammonia coverage rate of the rear SCR exceeds the threshold of the ammonia coverage rate at the temperature, the urea injection amount of the front SCR is adjusted, the urea injection amount of the front SCR and the rear SCR is adjusted to a preset ratio, such as 0.8:0.2, to avoid over-limit of the urea injection amount of the rear SCR, prevent the nozzle of the front SCR from being burnt out, and realize cooperative control of the urea injection amount of the front SCR and the rear SCR.
[0098] In this embodiment, during the active heating of the DPF, the subsequent SCR is the main sprayer. During the active heating of the DPF, a pre-stage SCR spray amount correction program is triggered when the conditions are met. Based on the calculated sliding error rate of the pre-stage SCR, the urea spray amount of the subsequent SCR is corrected. If the ammonia coverage of the subsequent SCR is detected to exceed the threshold, the urea spray amount of the subsequent SCR is reduced, and the urea spray amount of the pre-stage SCR is adjusted, including reducing the urea spray amount of the pre-stage SCR.
[0099] In this embodiment of the application, during the active heating of the DPF, the NO at the outlet of the subsequent SCR is controlled by PID control. x The outlet concentration feedback dynamically corrects the urea injection rate of the upstream SCR. Specifically, it is based on the NO concentration at the downstream SCR outlet. x The outlet concentration is determined by the ECU outputting the corrected urea injection quantity for the pre-stage SCR, causing the first nozzle of the pre-stage SCR to adjust its opening according to the command. A control model can be employed, including:

Indicates feedforward gain. This represents the rate of change of DPF temperature within two adjacent control periods, K and K+1.
[0104] In this embodiment, a stony Kalman filter can be used to predict the internal temperature of the downstream SCR. Based on this temperature, the reaction rate of related reactions can be calculated, and then the ammonia coverage of the downstream SCR can be predicted. This prediction of the downstream SCR's ammonia coverage allows for the prediction of the downstream SCR's injection quantity. Ultimately, this enables coordinated control of the urea injection quantities of both the upstream and downstream SCRs, allowing for advance adjustment of the urea injection ratio between the upstream and downstream SCRs. This effectively solves the ammonia leakage problem during active regeneration, providing high control precision and reducing diesel injection quantity and environmental pollution. It offers an effective solution for reducing ammonia leakage in dual-ammonia SCR aftertreatment systems and improving NOx efficiency. X This improves conversion efficiency and reduces nitrous oxide emissions, while also preventing HC poisoning from the DPF during operation.
[0105] In addition, during active DPF regeneration, the fuel injection quantity is coupled with the internal temperature of the subsequent SCR to help determine the thermal impact of the DPF regeneration process on the subsequent SCR and prevent high temperature from causing ammonia oxidation side reactions.
[0106] In this embodiment of the application, the first preset temperature zone is less than 200°C, the second preset temperature is greater than or equal to 200°C and less than 250°C, and the third preset temperature is greater than or equal to 250°C.
