Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of knowledge base management technology, specifically to a fuel evaporation leak diagnosis system with an integrated self-calibration controller. Background Technology
[0002] Existing fuel evaporation leak diagnostic systems are all designed and developed based on the requirements of GB18352.6-2016 "Limits and Measurement Methods for Pollutant Emissions from Light-Duty Vehicles (China VI)" J4.4 Evaporation System Monitoring. They all refer to J.4.4.2.2(B) / (C) as the fault standard for leakage, that is, the leakage generated by a small hole with a diameter of 0.5mm is used as the fault judgment standard. Existing technologies rely solely on the air pump motor current for leakage judgment, resulting in a high false positive rate. Furthermore, they lack an internal PCB board, leading to poor EMC compatibility. At the same time, the judgment basis heavily depends on product calibration. The operating conditions of vehicles are complex and uncertain, resulting in repeated testing and significant false positives. Therefore, a fuel evaporation leak diagnostic system with an integrated self-calibration controller is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

This system aims to solve the problems of existing technologies that rely solely on the current of the air pump motor for leak detection, resulting in a high false alarm rate. Furthermore, the lack of an internal PCB board leads to poor EMC compatibility, and the judgment is heavily dependent on product calibration. The operating conditions of vehicles are complex and uncertain, resulting in repeated testing and frequent misjudgments.

After the current of motor 4 stabilizes, the current of motor 4 is read and recorded.
