Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile exhaust after-treatment, and in particular to an exhaust after-treatment system and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, global warming and the greenhouse effect have intensified. To address this, countries have imposed stricter limits on vehicle emissions. Faced with increasingly stringent diesel engine emissions regulations, especially with the gradual implementation of the China VI emission standards, NOx (nitrogen oxide) emission limits have been significantly reduced. Urea selective catalytic reduction (Urea-SCR) technology, due to its high efficiency, selectivity, economy, and sulfur tolerance, has become a key technology for upgrading emissions from domestic light-duty diesel engines. In existing technologies, a urea solution is injected into the SCR catalyst via a urea nozzle. Under the catalytic action of the catalyst, the urea reacts with nitrogen oxides to produce harmless nitrogen, thereby reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. Urea nozzles are installed above the catalyst, where the engine exhaust flows. If a vehicle frequently idles for extended periods or is shut down after operating at high exhaust temperatures, the residual liquid in the nozzle cavity, exposed to high temperatures (greater than 150°C), can form biuret, a hard, water-insoluble crystalline substance.

[0003] The crystallized biuret has high hardness and stable chemical properties and is not easy to decompose, which will clog the injection hole of the urea nozzle. When the vehicle needs to inject urea, the urea nozzle is blocked and cannot be injected. The common practices for dealing with urea nozzle crystallization blockage failures are: first, the user removes the urea nozzle and manually cleans the crystals in the nozzle hole. This solution delays the normal operation of the vehicle and may not be able to completely clean the crystals in the tiny nozzle hole. It cannot eradicate the fault and requires frequent parking for cleaning. Second, directly replace the urea nozzle with a new one. This solution delays the user's normal vehicle operation, generates parts costs and increases the user's cost of use. It cannot eradicate the fault and requires frequent replacement of the urea nozzle. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In related technologies, a urea solution is injected into the SCR catalyst through a urea nozzle. Under the catalytic action of the catalyst, the urea reacts with nitrogen oxides to produce harmless nitrogen, thereby reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. The urea nozzle is installed above the catalyst where the engine exhaust flows. If the vehicle frequently idles for extended periods or is shut down after operating at high exhaust temperatures, the residual liquid in the urea nozzle cavity, exposed to high temperatures (greater than 150°C), can form biuret, a hard, water-insoluble crystal.

[0026] The crystallized biuret has high hardness and stable chemical properties and is not easy to decompose. It will clog the injection hole of the urea nozzle. When the vehicle needs to inject urea, the urea nozzle is blocked and cannot be injected. The common practices for dealing with urea nozzle crystallization blockage failures are: first, the user removes the urea nozzle and manually cleans the crystals in the nozzle hole. This solution delays the normal operation of the vehicle and may not be able to completely clean the crystals in the tiny nozzle hole. It cannot eradicate the fault and requires frequent parking for cleaning. Second, directly replace the urea nozzle with a new one. This solution delays the user's normal vehicle operation, generates parts costs and increases the user's cost of use. It cannot eradicate the fault and requires frequent replacement of the urea nozzle.

[0027] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an exhaust after-treatment system.

[0028] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2An exhaust aftertreatment system includes a urea supply module 1, a catalytic reaction module 3 and a muffler module 4. The urea supply module 1 includes a urea nozzle 12 and a liquid storage assembly 11; the urea nozzle 12 includes a liquid injection channel 121 and a cooling structure, the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel is connected to the liquid storage assembly 11, and the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel is connected to the catalytic reaction module 3; the cooling structure is arranged outside the liquid injection channel 121; a cooling cavity 122 is formed between the inner wall of the cooling structure and the outer wall of the liquid injection channel 121; the exhaust aftertreatment system also includes an air filter 21, the output end of the air filter 21 is connected to the inlet end of the cooling cavity.

[0029] See also Figure 1 The exhaust after-treatment system includes a urea supply module 1, a catalytic reaction module 3 and a muffler module 4. The urea supply module 1 is used to provide the urea solution required for the reaction to the catalytic reaction module 3. The catalytic reaction module 3 is mainly used to treat the pollutants and particulate matter in the exhaust gas. The muffler module 4 is used to reduce the noise generated by the vehicle exhaust.

[0030] Specifically, the catalytic reaction module 3 includes an oxidation catalyst 31, a NOx selective catalytic reduction purifier 32 and a particulate filter 33. Among them, the main function of the oxidation catalyst 31 is to convert carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas into carbon dioxide and water vapor, and at the same time convert nitrogen monoxide in the exhaust gas into nitrogen dioxide, thereby increasing the nitrogen dioxide content in the exhaust gas and promoting the reduction reaction of nitrogen oxides; the function of the NOx selective catalytic reduction purifier 32 is to reduce nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas into harmless nitrogen and water. This process needs to be achieved by spraying urea solution. The urea solution decomposes at high temperature to produce ammonia. The ammonia reacts with nitrogen oxides under the action of the catalyst, thereby reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides; the particulate filter 33 can capture and store particulate matter in the exhaust gas, and effectively reduce the emission of particulate matter through physical filtration.

[0031] The urea supply module 1 includes a urea nozzle 12 and a liquid storage assembly 11. Figure 2 In the urea nozzle 12, the liquid injection channel 121 serves as a flow channel for the urea solution. The inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel is connected to the liquid storage assembly 11, which stores the urea solution required for the catalytic reduction reaction. The outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel is connected to the NOx selective catalytic reduction purifier 32 in the catalytic reaction module 3. When the urea nozzle 12 is in operation, the urea solution in the liquid storage assembly 11 can enter the urea nozzle 12 through the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel, flow through the liquid injection channel 121, and then be ejected from the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel into the NOx selective catalytic reduction purifier 32 to participate in the catalytic reduction reaction.

[0032] A cooling structure is disposed outside the liquid injection channel 121. A cooling chamber 122 is formed between the inner wall of the cooling structure and the outer wall of the liquid injection channel 121. The cooling chamber 122 has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet 122a of the cooling chamber is connected to the output of the air filter 21 provided with the vehicle engine system, while the outlet 122b of the cooling chamber is open to the outside atmosphere. Therefore, clean air filtered by the air filter 21, as cooling gas, can enter the cooling chamber 122 from the inlet 122a, flow within the cooling chamber 122, and finally be discharged into the atmosphere from the outlet 122b of the cooling chamber. While flowing within the cooling chamber 122, the cooling gas exchanges heat with the outer wall of the liquid injection channel 121, thereby reducing the temperature of the urea nozzle 12 and avoiding the problem of biuret crystals forming at high temperatures and clogging the urea nozzle 12.

[0033] The air filter 21 is a built-in device of the vehicle engine system. It is installed at the compressor end 61 of the turbocharger 6. The compressor end 61 of the turbocharger 6 is connected to the intercooler heat dissipation module 7, and the turbine end 62 of the turbocharger 6 is connected to the engine 8. The air filter 21 is primarily used to filter harmful impurities from the air entering the cylinders of the engine 8. In this embodiment, a branch line is provided at the output end of the air filter 21. The branch line diverts the air filtered by the air filter 21 to the urea nozzle 12, thereby providing a source of clean cooling air for the urea nozzle 12.

[0034] Since the air filter 21 is arranged on the air inlet side of the pressure wheel end 61 in the vehicle engine system, the rotation of the pressure wheel will generate suction on the cooling gas output by the air filter 21, so that it has a certain flow rate and a speed difference relative to the external atmosphere. Therefore, driven by the speed difference, the cooling gas can be directly transported to the cooling chamber 122 of the urea nozzle 12 and finally discharged into the atmosphere.

[0035] Through the above arrangement, a cooling structure is provided outside the liquid injection channel 121, and cooling gas is introduced into the cooling cavity 122 of the cooling structure, so that active cooling of the urea nozzle 12 can be achieved, thereby avoiding the problem of crystallization clogging the urea nozzle 12 at high temperature, ensuring that the urea supply module 1 can normally and stably supply urea solution to the catalytic reaction module 3, thereby ensuring the stable progress of the catalytic reduction reaction, and ultimately meeting the requirements for nitrogen oxide pollution gas emissions.

[0036] Furthermore, the exhaust aftertreatment system provided in this embodiment rationally utilizes the vehicle engine system's built-in air filter 21, reducing the need for external equipment and significantly reducing air supply costs compared to using external compressed air tanks to supply cooling air. Furthermore, the air filter 21, as a component of the vehicle engine system, provides clean air to the engine's eight cylinders. It also serves as a component of the vehicle's exhaust aftertreatment system, providing clean cooling air to the urea nozzle 12. This achieves integration between the vehicle engine system and the exhaust aftertreatment system, enhancing the vehicle's integrated capabilities.

[0037] Optionally, the cooling chamber 122 is coaxially arranged with the liquid injection channel 121 .

[0038] Specifically, to reduce the flow resistance of the urea solution, ensure the injection speed, and facilitate the processing of the urea nozzle 12, the liquid injection channel 121 is generally configured as a linear channel. Preferably, in this embodiment, the liquid injection channel 121 is configured as a cylindrical channel. A cooling structure is arranged around the periphery of the liquid injection channel 121. An annular cooling cavity 122 is formed between the inner wall of the cooling structure and the outer wall of the liquid injection channel 121. The cooling cavity 122 is coaxially arranged with the liquid injection channel 121. As a result, after entering the cooling cavity 122, the cooling gas can be evenly wrapped around the periphery of the liquid injection channel 121, achieving uniform heat exchange.

[0039] Optionally, the inlet end 122a of the cooling cavity and the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side, and the outlet end 122b of the cooling cavity and the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber and the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side of the urea nozzle 12, that is, Figure 2 On the upper side of the cooling chamber, the outlet end 122b of the cooling chamber and the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side of the urea nozzle 12, that is, Figure 2 When the urea nozzle 12 is working, the urea solution in the liquid storage assembly 11 enters from the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel, flows through the liquid injection channel 121, and is ejected from the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel to enter the NOx selective catalytic reduction purifier 32; at the same time, the clean air filtered by the air filter 21 serves as cooling gas, enters from the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber, flows along the cooling chamber 122, and is discharged from the outlet end 122b of the cooling chamber. Figure 2As shown, the urea solution flows into the liquid injection channel 121 from the upper side of the urea nozzle 12 and is finally ejected from the lower side of the urea nozzle 12. The cooling gas also flows into the cooling cavity 122 from the upper side of the urea nozzle 12 and is finally discharged from the lower side of the urea nozzle 12. The flow direction of the cooling gas is the same as that of the urea solution.

[0041] Optionally, the inlet end 122a of the cooling cavity and the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side, and the outlet end 122b of the cooling cavity and the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel are arranged on the same side.

[0042] Specifically, in other embodiments, the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber and the outlet end 121b of the liquid injection channel may be arranged on the same side of the urea nozzle 12, and the outlet end 122b of the cooling chamber and the inlet end 121a of the liquid injection channel may be arranged on the same side of the urea nozzle 12. In this arrangement, the flow direction of the cooling gas is opposite to the flow direction of the urea solution.

[0043] In practical applications, the number of the cooling cavity inlet end 122a and the cooling cavity outlet end 122b can be one or more, and the number of the two can be the same or different. Figure 1 As an example, in this embodiment, the number of the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber is set to one, which is located on one side of the axis of the liquid injection channel 121; the number of the outlet end 122b of the cooling chamber is set to two, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the liquid injection channel 121.

[0044] Optionally, a turbulent flow structure is provided in the cooling cavity 122 .

[0045] Specifically, in order to further improve the cooling effect, a turbulent flow structure is provided in the cooling cavity 122 . The turbulent flow structure can change the flow of the cooling gas in the cooling cavity 122 , increase the turbulence, and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0046] Optionally, the spoiler structure includes a filter plate 123 , and a plurality of filter holes 1232 are provided on the filter plate 123 .

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, the spoiler structure includes a filter plate 123, and a plurality of filter holes 1232 are provided on the filter plate 123. After the cooling gas enters the cooling chamber 122, it is blocked by the filter plate 123 and can only pass through the filter holes 1232, so that the turbulence of the cooling gas is increased, which helps to enhance the heat exchange efficiency and improve the cooling effect of the urea nozzle 12.

[0048] In other embodiments, the spoiler structure may also be a grid, a spiral spoiler, a fin, or the like.

[0049] Optionally, the plurality of filter holes 1232 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the filter plate 123 .

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to adapt to the structure of the cooling chamber 122, the shape of the filter plate 123 is set to be annular, the inner ring 1231 of the annular filter plate 123 is connected to the outer wall of the liquid injection channel 121, and the outer ring of the annular filter plate 123 is connected to the inner wall of the cooling structure. Figure 3 As shown, the inner ring 1231 of the filter plate 123 is located at the axis of the filter plate 123, and can allow the liquid injection channel 121 to pass through. There are multiple filter holes 1232, and the multiple filter holes 1232 are evenly spaced around the axis of the filter plate 123 along the circumference of the filter plate 123.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, the number of filter plates 123 is set to one, which is arranged in the middle of the cooling chamber 122. In other embodiments, the number of filter plates 123 can also be set to multiple, and multiple filter plates 123 can be distributed at intervals along the axis of the cooling chamber 122.

[0052] Optionally, a control valve 22 is provided between the output end of the air filter 21 and the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, a branch line is provided at the output end of the air filter 21. The branch line diverts the cold air output by the air filter 21 to the urea nozzle 12, thereby providing cooling gas for the urea nozzle 12. To further facilitate the on-off control of the branch line, a control valve 22 is also provided on the branch line. The control valve 22 can be a solenoid valve. The control valve 22 is located between the output end of the air filter 21 and the inlet end 122a of the cooling chamber. When the control valve 22 is open, the branch line is in a flow state, and the gas output by the air filter 21 can flow into the cooling chamber 122 to cool the urea nozzle 12. When the control valve 22 is closed, the branch line is in a cut-off state, and the gas output by the air filter 21 cannot flow into the cooling chamber 122. The cooling gas source is cut off, and cooling cannot be performed.

[0054] Optionally, the exhaust after-treatment system further includes a control unit 5 , which is connected to the control valve 22 and the urea nozzle 12 respectively, and is configured to control the opening of the control valve 22 according to the injection operation of the urea nozzle 12 .

[0055] Specifically, the exhaust aftertreatment system also includes a control unit 5, which can control the operating states of the urea nozzle 12 and the control valve 22 according to different operating conditions. Specifically, during urea injection, the control unit 5 controls the urea nozzle 12 to operate and the control valve 22 to open. At this time, urea solution can be injected into the catalyst through the liquid injection channel 121 of the urea nozzle 12. At the same time, the cooling gas output from the air filter 21 can flow into the cooling chamber 122 along the branch line, exchanging heat with the liquid injection channel 121, thereby cooling the urea nozzle 12. When urea injection is completed, the control unit 5 controls the urea nozzle 12 to stop operating and close the control valve 22. At this time, the urea solution stops flowing into the liquid injection channel 121. At the same time, the branch line is cut off, and the cooling gas output from the air filter 21 cannot continue to enter the cooling chamber 122, thus preventing cooling.

[0056] The exhaust aftertreatment system described in the embodiment of the present application provides a cooling structure external to the liquid injection channel 121 of the urea nozzle 12, and diverts the cold air filtered by the air filter 21 to the cooling chamber 122 of the cooling structure, so that the cold air exchanges heat with the high-temperature liquid injection channel 121, thereby removing heat and achieving active cooling of the urea nozzle 12. This avoids the problem of biuret crystals forming and clogging the urea nozzle 12 due to excessive temperature, helps reduce maintenance costs, ensures the normal operation of the vehicle, and improves the user experience. In addition, the rational use of the air filter 21 provided by the vehicle engine system provides a clean source of cooling gas for the urea nozzle 12, reducing the introduction of external equipment, improving the integration of the entire vehicle, and reducing the cost of cooling gas supply.

[0057] An embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising the urea nozzle 12 or the exhaust after-treatment system as described above.

[0058] The advantages of the vehicle, the exhaust after-treatment system, and the urea nozzle 12 over the prior art are the same and will not be described in detail here.
