Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation detection, and in particular relates to a DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection method, device and medium. Background Art

[0002] To meet increasingly stringent environmental regulations, the diesel particulate filter (DPF) has become a key component in diesel engine emissions control. The DPF captures carbon particles from exhaust through physical filtration, but its filtration efficiency depends on its operating condition, and the differential pressure sensor is a core component for monitoring DPF health. The differential pressure sensor measures the pressure difference between the DPF inlet and outlet to determine the particulate matter load, trigger regeneration, and diagnose faults such as DPF blockage and damage. However, the hoses that monitor the DPF inlet and outlet pressures can sometimes be installed upside down after installation or repair, or the DPF inlet hose can become detached during vehicle use. This can cause the differential pressure signal to reverse, directly impacting regeneration control, fault diagnosis, and engine performance.

[0003] However, there is currently no effective way to monitor when the DPF inlet and outlet pressure hoses are installed upside down or the DPF inlet hose falls off, which affects regeneration control and engine performance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] A third aspect of the present invention discloses a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon. When the instructions are executed on a computer, the method for detecting installation errors of a DPF differential pressure sensor hose described in the first aspect is executed.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention detects and determines hose installation errors by comparing the DPF front end temperature and the pressure difference value of the DPF pressure difference sensor under vehicle operation state with test data, prompting timely maintenance of the hose and reducing the impact on vehicle regeneration control and engine performance.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and the like are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0017] The first aspect of the present application discloses a DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection method, which can be executed by a DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection device, which can be software or a combination of software and hardware, and can be integrated on a smart mobile terminal, a tablet, a computer, a vehicle control terminal ECU. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection method comprises the following steps S01-S05. It should be noted that the step identifier in the present scheme is only for the convenience of describing the method, and does not constitute a sequence limitation, and the sequence of each step is subject to the language description, and the sequence of each signal is subject to the sequence. Figure 1

[0018] Step S01, acquiring the DPF front-end temperature under the vehicle operating state.

[0019] ​Step S02: determining the exhaust flow value according to the DPF front end temperature.

[0020] Specifically, the ECU can determine the exhaust flow value according to the DPF front-end temperature. This method is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Step S03: In response to the DPF differential pressure sensor being normal and the exhaust flow value being greater than a flow threshold, obtaining a differential pressure value of the DPF differential pressure sensor.

[0022] Here, the DPF differential pressure sensor is normal, which means that there is no fault in the DPF differential pressure sensor.

[0023] Step S04: In response to the pressure difference value of the DPF pressure difference sensor being less than the pressure difference threshold and the duration of this state being greater than or equal to the time threshold, it is determined that the front and rear hoses of the vehicle pressure difference sensor are installed incorrectly, wherein the flow threshold and the pressure difference threshold are simultaneously obtained based on the DPF pressure difference sensor data of the same type of vehicle under three operating conditions and the exhaust flow value determined by the DPF front end temperature, and the OBD cycle test is performed under the three operating conditions of no-load DPF normal connection pipeline state, empty pipe DPF normal connection pipeline state, and no-load DPF front and rear hose cross state.

[0024] The flow rate threshold in step S03 and the pressure differential threshold in this step are both derived through experimentation. Specifically, during the experiment, DPF pressure differential sensor data and the corresponding DPF front-end temperature were measured for the same type of vehicle under three operating conditions. The corresponding exhaust flow rate value was then determined from the DPF front-end temperature, using the same method as step S02. Uniplot software was then used to analyze the DPF pressure differential sensor data and exhaust flow rate values ​​to obtain the exhaust flow rate and pressure differential value characteristics under the three operating conditions. Finally, the flow rate threshold and pressure differential threshold were determined based on these characteristics, ensuring that the exhaust flow rate and pressure differential value characteristics for the three operating conditions did not overlap at the corresponding locations of the flow rate threshold and pressure differential threshold.

[0025] For example, taking SAIC Yuejin D30TCIF1 as an example, the exhaust flow and pressure difference characteristics under three working conditions obtained by the above test method are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the blue area is the exhaust flow and pressure difference characteristics corresponding to the cross state of the front and rear hoses of the no-load DPF, the red area is the exhaust flow and pressure difference characteristics corresponding to the state of the DPF with the DPF normally connected to the pipe when the DPF is empty, and the green area is the exhaust flow and pressure difference characteristics corresponding to the state of the DPF with the DPF normally connected to the pipe when the DPF is empty. Figure 2 The exhaust flow rate and pressure difference characteristics shown in the figure determine the flow threshold and pressure difference threshold for this type of vehicle to be 300m 3 / h, -10hPa.

[0026] If the DPF differential pressure sensor's pressure differential value remains below the threshold for a period of time greater than or equal to the time threshold, a prompt message is generated to inform the driver that the front and rear hoses of the differential pressure sensor are incorrectly installed. Maintenance personnel can then follow this prompt to confirm that the hoses are installed incorrectly or the front hose is detached before repairing the system.

[0027] In this step, the time threshold is set to be greater than or equal to 4 seconds and less than or equal to 6 seconds. For example, it can be set to 4s, 5s, or 6s.

[0028] Step S05: In response to the pressure difference value of the DPF pressure difference sensor being less than the pressure difference threshold and the duration of this state being less than the time threshold or the pressure difference value of the DPF pressure difference sensor being greater than or equal to the pressure difference threshold, it is determined that the front and rear hoses of the vehicle pressure difference sensor are correctly installed.

[0029] The above method can be used to determine whether the front and rear hoses of the vehicle pressure differential sensor are installed correctly, so that maintenance personnel can maintain the front and rear hoses of the vehicle pressure differential sensor in a timely manner to reduce the impact on vehicle regeneration control and engine performance.

[0030] A second aspect of the present invention discloses a DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection device, comprising a memory and a controller in communication with each other. The memory stores a computer program, and the controller is configured to read the computer program and execute the DPF differential pressure sensor hose installation error detection method described in the first aspect. Specifically, the memory may include, but is not limited to, random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, first-input first-output (FIFO), or first-input last-output (FILO) memory. The controller may be, but is not limited to, an STM32F105 series microcontroller. Furthermore, the computer device may include, but is not limited to, a power supply unit, a display screen, and other necessary components.

[0031] A third aspect of the present invention discloses a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon. When the instructions are executed on a computer, the method for detecting installation errors of a DPF differential pressure sensor hose described in the first aspect is executed.

[0032] The operating principles of the devices and systems disclosed in the second and third aspects of the present invention are detailed in the first aspect and will not be elaborated here.

[0033] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the embodiments described herein are presented for purposes of illustration and that the inventive principles are not limited to these particular embodiments. Other variations and modifications can be made to the embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive principles.
