In addition, the technical features of the different embodiments of the present application described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not collide with each other.
Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic diagram of an exhaust gas recirculation system provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 1, the exhaust gas recirculation system includes an intake conduit 101, an intake manifold 1021, an outlet manifold 1022, an exhaust conduit 103, and an exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104.
A throttle valve 111 is provided in the intake pipe 101, an EGR valve 112 and an EGR cooler 113 are provided in the exhaust gas recirculation pipe 104, a catalyst 114 and a particulate trap (gasoline particulate filter, GPF) 115 are provided in the exhaust pipe 103, and the exhaust gas recirculation system is connected to the engine 120 through an intake manifold 1021 and an exhaust manifold 1022. Wherein a throttle 111 is used to condition fresh air entering the intake conduit 101, an EGR cooler 113 (which is an optional device) is used to cool high temperature exhaust gases, an EGR valve 112 is used to condition gases in the exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104, a catalyst 114 is used to treat exhaust gases exiting the engine 120, and a GPF115 is used to trap particulate matter in the gases in the exhaust conduit 103. Optionally, an EGR temperature sensor is also provided in the exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104 for the temperature of the gas in the exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104.
The direction of flow of the gas through the exhaust gas recirculation system and the engine 120 is shown by the thick arrows in fig. 1: fresh air enters from an air inlet, passes through a throttle valve 111 and then enters an engine 120 through an air inlet manifold 1021 for combustion, and exhaust gas discharged from the engine 120 sequentially passes through an air outlet manifold 1022 and a catalyst 114 and then is discharged to the outside after passing through a GPF115, and part of the exhaust gas enters an exhaust gas recirculation pipeline (the gas entering the exhaust gas recirculation pipeline through the catalyst 114 is called EGR gas in the application), and the EGR gas sequentially passes through an EGR cooler 113 and an EGR valve 112 and then is combined with the fresh air in the air inlet manifold 1021 and enters the engine 120, so that the exhaust gas recirculation is realized.
A pressure sensor 1161 is disposed in the intake manifold 1021, and the pressure sensor 1161 is configured to collect a pressure signal in the intake manifold 1021, where the pressure signal may be used as a reference signal for characterizing the gas pressure in the intake manifold 1021 according to an embodiment of the present application; there are collection points of differential pressure sensor 1162 at different locations in exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104, and differential pressure sensor 1162 is configured to calculate differences in pressure signals collected at the collection points at the different locations to obtain differential pressure signals, which are used to characterize differential pressures of gases at the different locations in exhaust gas recirculation conduit 104.
Optionally, the collection point of the differential pressure sensor 1162 is located at a first location in the conduit on the intake side of the EGR valve 112 (e.g., between the EGR valve 112 and the EGR cooler 113 as shown in fig. 1) and a second location in the conduit on the exhaust side of the EGR valve 112.
The signals obtained by the pressure sensor 1161 and the differential pressure sensor 1162 may be fed back to a control system (for example, the control system may be an electronic controller (electronic control unit, ECU, not shown in fig. 1)) provided in the vehicle, while the control system may obtain the opening gradient of the throttle valve 111, and the exhaust gas recirculation system may be diagnosed by any one of the following method embodiments based on the signals obtained by the pressure sensor 1161 and the differential pressure sensor 1162 and the opening gradient of the throttle valve 111.
In the embodiment of the present application, the positions of the throttle valve 111, the EGR valve 112, the EGR cooler 113, the catalyst 114, and the GPF115, and the connection manner of the respective air pipes and the engine 120 are merely exemplary embodiments, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto, and does not affect the diagnosis of the exhaust gas recirculation system by any of the following method embodiments.
In some embodiments, the EGR gas flow rate may be calculated from the signal obtained by the differential pressure sensor 1162 and the opening of the EGR valve 112, and the EGR gas flow rate may be used to diagnose the EGR system.
For example, based on the EGR rate demand of the engine 120 under each condition, a demanded EGR target flow may be calculated, the EGR target flow being relatively stable when the engine 120 is operating in a preset speed interval and torque interval, the EGR flow being integrated after a preset period of time when the diagnostic condition is met and the EGR flow is greater than a threshold, a deviation between the integration of the EGR flow and the integration of the target flow being calculated when the integration time meets the threshold, the deviation being divided by the integration of the target flow to obtain a deviation percentage, the EGR flow being represented as normal when the average of the deviation percentages is greater than the threshold; in contrast, when the engine operates in a preset rotating speed interval and torque interval, the EGR target flow is relatively stable, when the diagnosis condition is met and the EGR flow is larger than the threshold value, the deviation between the integral of the EGR flow and the integral of the target flow is calculated when the opening of the EGR valve 112 is larger than the limit opening threshold value, the deviation percentage is obtained by dividing the integral of the target flow, and when the average value of the deviation percentages is smaller than the threshold value, the low flow fault of the exhaust gas recirculation system is confirmed.
However, the above diagnostic methods have drawbacks in that: it requires a large flow rate of EGR gas in a continuous period of time to obtain the integral of the EGR flow rate and the integral of the target flow rate with a sufficient degree of differentiation in a short period of time, and the engine 120 in the exhaust gas recirculation system has a small vacuum degree of the medium-small load manifold, and is configured with a high-pressure exhaust gas recirculation technology, so that it is difficult to satisfy the large flow rate passing in a continuous period of time, and it is difficult to make diagnosis.
Based on the above reasons, the application provides a method for monitoring an exhaust gas recirculation system under a dynamic working condition, which is characterized in that a diagnosis mode is started under a specific working condition (the absolute value of the opening gradient of an electronic throttle valve is larger than an opening threshold value), a reference signal of an intake manifold and a differential pressure signal of a differential pressure sensor are obtained within a preset delay time, and the flow fault of EGR gas in the exhaust gas recirculation system is diagnosed according to the reference signal and the differential pressure signal, so that the fault can be diagnosed more accurately and precisely.
As shown in fig. 1, in the exhaust gas recirculation system, after the exhaust gas passes through the catalyst, it sequentially passes through the EGR cooler 113 and the EGR valve 112 and then enters the intake manifold 1021, one collection point of the differential pressure sensor 1162 is on the intake side and is located between the EGR valve 112 and the cooler 113, another collection point of the differential pressure sensor 1162 is on the outlet side and is located in a pipe behind the EGR valve 112 and is located on the side close to the intake manifold 1021, a differential pressure signal between the two collection points can be obtained by using the differential pressure sensor 1162, and a pressure signal of the gas in the intake manifold 1021 can be obtained by using the pressure sensor 1161.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the signals acquired during normal conditions of the exhaust gas recirculation circuit is shown. As shown in fig. 2, it shows a first pressure signal acquired by a differential pressure sensor at an acquisition point on an intake side, a second pressure signal acquired by a differential pressure sensor at an acquisition point on an exhaust side, a reference signal acquired by a pressure sensor provided in an intake manifold, and a differential pressure signal between the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal, and the abscissa is time.
When the exhaust gas recirculation pipeline has no fault, the differential pressure sensor is communicated with the air inlet manifold at the collecting point of the air outlet side, and the pressure of the air in the air outlet side pipeline is close to the pressure of the air in the air inlet manifold; the pressure difference sensor is communicated with the EGR cooler and the exhaust pipeline at the collecting point of the air inlet side, and the pressure of the gas is close to the back pressure of the catalyzed gas. The pressure difference signal obtained by the pressure difference sensor is the difference value of the pressure signal obtained by the collection point at the air outlet side and the collection point at the air inlet side, and in general, in the stage of rapid opening of a throttle valve (the absolute value of the opening gradient of the throttle valve is larger), if the pressure of the gas in the pipeline at the air inlet side is stable, the rising of the gas pressure in the air inlet manifold can cause the rising of the pressure signal obtained by the collection point at the air outlet side, so that the pressure difference signal is reduced; in the rapid closing stage of the throttle valve, if the pressure of the gas in the pipeline at the air inlet side is stable, the pressure signal acquired by the acquisition point at the air outlet side is reduced due to the reduction of the gas pressure in the air inlet manifold, and then the pressure difference signal is increased.
Therefore, when there is no fault in the EGR line, the EGR valve is opened, the amplitude of the reference signal acquired by the pressure sensor in the intake manifold and the amplitude of the differential pressure signal are synchronous and opposite in direction, as shown in fig. 2, A1 is the amplitude of the reference signal acquired by the pressure sensor in the intake manifold when the reference signal falls, A2 is the amplitude of the reference signal when the reference signal rises, A3 is the amplitude of the differential pressure signal when the differential pressure signal rises, A4 is the amplitude of the differential pressure signal when the differential pressure signal falls, A1 and A3 are synchronous and opposite, A2 and A4 are synchronous and opposite, A1 and A3 correspond to the fast throttle closing stage (the stage corresponding to the left broken line ellipse) and A2 and A4 correspond to the fast throttle opening stage (the stage corresponding to the right broken line ellipse).
Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of the signals acquired in the case of a flow failure in the exhaust gas recirculation circuit is shown. As shown in fig. 3, it shows a first pressure signal acquired by a differential pressure sensor at an acquisition point on an intake side, a second pressure signal acquired by a differential pressure sensor at an acquisition point on an exhaust side, a reference signal acquired by a pressure sensor provided in an intake manifold, and a differential pressure signal between the first pressure signal and the second pressure signal, and the abscissa is time.
In the case where there is a failure in the exhaust gas recirculation line (for example, the exhaust gas recirculation line is clogged), when the EGR valve is opened, the differential pressure sensor communicates between the collection point on the intake side and the collection point on the outlet side, and the differential pressure generated across the EGR valve is small because the flow rate of the exhaust gas is small when the line is clogged. During the rapid change phase of the electronic throttle valve, the pressure difference across the EGR valve remains small, regardless of whether the pressure of the gas in the intake manifold rises or falls. Therefore, when the EGR valve is opened and the pressure signal at the intake manifold has an amplitude, the differential pressure signal does not have an obvious amplitude, as shown in fig. 3, A1 is the amplitude of the reference signal acquired by the pressure sensor in the intake manifold when the reference signal is descending, A2 is the amplitude of the reference signal when the reference signal is ascending, A1 corresponds to the rapid open-up stage (stage corresponding to the left-hand broken-line ellipse), A2 corresponds to the rapid close-down stage (stage corresponding to the right-hand broken-line ellipse) of the throttle, and the differential pressure signal does not have an obvious amplitude in the whole process.
As described above, in the exhaust gas recirculation line, in the case where there is no fault and in the case where there is a flow fault, the following performance of the differential pressure signal and the reference signal is different after the EGR valve is opened.
Referring to fig. 4, a flowchart of a method for monitoring an exhaust gas recirculation system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application is shown, which may be performed by the control system according to the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, and includes:
in step 401, a timer is started when an absolute value of an opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is greater than an opening threshold.
The opening threshold value can be set according to actual sampling data of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and the state of the electronic throttle valve when the opening gradient is larger than the opening threshold value is correspondingly a stage of quick opening or quick opening of the electronic throttle valve. While the timer is started, step 402 is entered to obtain a reference signal and a differential pressure signal.
In step 402, a reference signal and a differential pressure signal are acquired when the time of the timer is less than a delay time threshold.
Wherein, as mentioned above, the reference signal is a pressure signal acquired in an intake manifold of the exhaust gas recirculation system, and the differential pressure signal is a difference value of the pressure signals acquired at different positions in an exhaust gas recirculation pipe of the exhaust gas recirculation system. The reference signal and the differential pressure signal may be obtained by referring to the above, and will not be described herein.
As described above, in the stage where the electronic throttle valve is rapidly opened or rapidly opened, the reference signal and the differential pressure signal both have significant amplitudes in the case where there is no malfunction of the exhaust gas recirculation line, and the reference signal has significant amplitudes and the differential pressure signal does not have significant amplitudes in the case where there is a malfunction of the exhaust gas recirculation line, so that the malfunction problem of the exhaust gas recirculation system can be accurately and precisely diagnosed by acquiring the required data when the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is greater than the opening threshold value.
In step 403, when the time of the timer is greater than the delay time threshold and the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is less than the opening threshold, the timer is turned off.
The delay time threshold is a preset signal acquisition time, and the signal acquisition step may be stopped according to an actual setting of the delay time threshold (for example, it is usually a time for which the electronic throttle valve is rapidly opened or closed), when the time of the timer is within the delay time threshold and the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is smaller than the opening threshold, data acquisition may be performed, and when the time of the timer is greater than the delay time threshold and the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is monitored to be smaller than the opening threshold (which indicates that the electronic throttle valve is not in a stage of rapid opening or rapid opening).
Step 404, diagnosing the exhaust gas recirculation system based on the reference signal and the differential pressure signal.
As described above, the EGR valve is opened with the differential pressure signal and the reference signal having different followability in both cases of no malfunction and flow malfunction, so that the EGR system can be diagnosed based on the differential pressure signal and the reference signal.
In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, when the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is greater than the opening threshold, the reference signal of the intake manifold and the differential pressure signal of the differential pressure sensor are obtained in the delay time, and when the delay time is over and the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is less than the second opening threshold, the exhaust gas recirculation system is diagnosed according to the reference signal and the differential pressure signal, and since the signals of the intake manifold and the differential pressure sensor can reflect the flow condition of the EGR gas, the flow fault of the exhaust gas recirculation system can be accurately diagnosed; meanwhile, the signal required for diagnosis is acquired under the condition that the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is larger than the opening threshold value, so that the fault can be diagnosed more accurately.
Referring to fig. 5, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for monitoring an exhaust gas recirculation system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which may be performed by the control system of the above-described embodiment, the method may be an alternative implementation of the embodiment of fig. 4, as shown in fig. 5, and the method includes:
step 501, it is determined whether the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is greater than an opening threshold.
When the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is not greater than the opening threshold value, the electronic throttle valve is not in a stage of rapid opening or rapid opening, and the signals acquired in the stage lack obvious characteristics, so that the signals are not suitable for signal acquisition, and the step 501 is continuously executed; when the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is greater than the opening threshold, it indicates that the electronic throttle valve is in a stage of rapid opening or rapid opening, and signal acquisition can be performed, and step 502 is entered.
Step 502, a timer is started.
When the timer is started, signal acquisition is performed.
In step 503, a first reference signal and a second reference signal are obtained, where the first reference signal is a maximum value of the pressure signal collected in the intake manifold, and the second reference signal is a minimum value of the pressure signal collected in the intake manifold.
Before the timer is closed, the pressure signal in the air inlet manifold is continuously collected, and is subjected to large-scale acquisition to obtain a first reference signal Psmax, and is subjected to small-scale acquisition to obtain a second reference signal Psmin.
Step 504, acquiring a first differential pressure signal and a second differential pressure signal, wherein the first differential pressure signal is the maximum value of the acquired differential pressure signal, and the second differential pressure signal is the minimum value of the acquired differential pressure signal.
Before the timer is closed, continuously collecting pressure signals of the first position and the second position, calculating a pressure signal difference value at the same moment to obtain a pressure difference signal, and obtaining a first pressure difference signal Pegrmax by taking the pressure difference signal big and a second pressure difference signal Pegrmin by taking the pressure difference signal small.

As described above, the delay time threshold is a preset signal acquisition time, and the delay time threshold may be set according to the actual situation, and when the time of the timer is not greater than the delay time threshold, step 503 and step 504 are continuously executed to perform signal acquisition; when the time of the timer is greater than the delay time threshold, step 506 is entered.
Step 506 determines whether the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is less than an opening threshold.
As described above, when the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is not less than the opening threshold, the electronic throttle valve can be considered to be still in the stage of rapid opening or rapid opening, and signal acquisition can be continued; when the time of the timer is greater than the delay time threshold and the absolute value of the opening gradient of the electronic throttle valve is less than the opening threshold, the electronic throttle valve is not in the stage of rapid opening or rapid opening and small, and the step 507 is entered.

Step 509 calculates a second difference between the first differential pressure signal and the second differential pressure signal.
As described above, the amplitude A3 or A4 of the reference signal at the stage where the electronic throttle valve is still in the rapid opening or the rapid opening is obtained by calculating the second difference Δpegr between the first differential pressure signal and the second differential pressure signal.
The execution sequence of step 508 and step 509 is not limited. An exemplary illustration of step 508 followed by step 509 is shown in fig. 5.
At step 510, diagnosing the exhaust gas recirculation system based on the first and second differences.
As described above, the exhaust gas recirculation system may be diagnosed based on the first and second differences based on the difference in the following characteristics of the differential pressure signal and the reference signal after the EGR valve is opened in both cases where there is no fault and where there is a flow fault in the exhaust gas recirculation line. The diagnosis mode may be set according to the actual requirement, for example, a threshold value of a first difference Δps may be preset, defined as a first amplitude threshold value, a threshold value of a second difference Δpegr may be preset, defined as a second amplitude threshold value, and when Δps is greater than the first amplitude threshold value and Δpegr is greater than the second amplitude threshold value, it is indicated that there is no low flow fault in the exhaust gas recirculation system, and if it is not satisfied, it is indicated that there is a low flow fault in the exhaust gas recirculation system.

Referring to FIG. 6, which illustrates a flow chart of a method of monitoring an exhaust gas recirculation system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, which may be performed by the control system of the above-described embodiment, the method may be an alternative implementation of step 510 of the embodiment of FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. 6, and which includes:
in step 5101, it is determined whether the first difference is greater than a first amplitude threshold.
As described above, regardless of whether the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is faulty, when the electronic throttle valve is still in the fast open or fast open stage, the first difference between the first reference signal and the second reference signal should be greater than the first amplitude threshold, so when the first difference is not greater than the first amplitude threshold, signal acquisition needs to be performed again, and step 501 is entered; when the first difference is greater than the first amplitude threshold, step 5102 is entered.
In step 5102, it is determined whether the second difference is less than a second amplitude threshold.
As described above, when the exhaust gas recirculation line fails, the differential pressure signal does not have a significant magnitude, which is indicative of the second difference being less than the second magnitude threshold, and proceeds to step 5103a; when there is no fault in the exhaust gas recirculation conduit, the differential pressure signal has a significant magnitude that is indicative of the second difference not being less than the second magnitude threshold, and proceeds to step 5103b.
In step 5103a, the value of the fault counter is incremented by one.
Wherein the fault counter is used to characterize the number of times the exhaust gas recirculation system has failed in the monitoring.

Wherein the repair counter is used to characterize the number of times the exhaust gas recirculation system is not malfunctioning in the monitoring.
In step 5104, it is determined whether the sum of the values of the fault counter and the repair counter is equal to a value threshold.
The numerical threshold is a preset fault monitoring number, and the more the number is, the more accurate the monitoring result is, but the longer the time is, the numerical value can be set according to actual requirements. When the sum of the values of the fault counter and the repair counter is equal to the value threshold, the fault monitoring is finished, and step 5105 is performed; when the sum of the values of the fault counter and the repair counter is smaller than the value threshold, it is indicated that the fault monitoring is not completed, and the monitoring needs to be continued, and step 501 is entered.
In step 5105, it is determined whether the value of the failure counter is greater than the value of the repair counter.
When the value of the fault counter is greater than the value of the repair counter, it may be determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system has a low flow fault, and step 5106a is entered; when the value of the fault counter is not greater than the value of the repair counter, it may be determined that the exhaust gas recirculation system is not experiencing a low flow fault, and step 5106b is entered.
In step 5106a, it is determined that there is a low flow fault in the exhaust gas recirculation system.
In step 5106b, it is determined that there is no low flow fault in the exhaust gas recirculation system.
When the exhaust gas recirculation system is determined to have a low flow fault, the monitoring result can be reported through an OBD fault code or an OBD fault lamp.
