Detailed Description
The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, but not all embodiments, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts based on the embodiments of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
The existing independent ammonia sensor control system architecture has obvious defects, and most ammonia detection systems are integrated into a composite multi-gas sensor control system. The architecture of such a multi-gas sensor system is itself relatively complex, its structural complexity increases the difficulty of operation and maintenance, and the cost of the system is relatively high. In addition, mutual interference may occur between different gases, wherein the detection result of one gas may be affected by other gases, further reducing the reliability of the system. Such a multiple gas sensor control system is not the most desirable option for the detection of ammonia content in motor vehicle exhaust gases. The detection of ammonia content in motor vehicle exhaust is critical to environmental monitoring and emission control, and therefore a more accurate, simple and focused control system is needed. The existing system structure leads the ammonia gas detection to be interfered by multiple gases, reduces the detection accuracy, and increases the operation and maintenance difficulties due to complex system. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a more focused and efficient independent ammonia sensor control system architecture to solve the problems of the existing multi-gas sensor system and improve the reliability and accuracy of ammonia detection.
In the prior art, cheng Junna (Cheng Junna, yang Ling, hao Xin, etc. design of STM 32-based ammonia gas detection system [ J ]. Technological information, 2021,19 (07): 60-63.DOI:10.16661/J. Cnki.1672-3791.2103-5042-5972), et al, proposed using a TDLAS-based gas detection module, designing an ammonia gas detection system having a response time of at most 32 s, which can realize detection of minute amounts of ammonia gas, due to the use of an optical principle sensor, which is relatively high in cost and requires specialized operation, installation and maintenance.
In a NOx sensor control system (CN 201510942731.2[ P ]. 2015.12.16), a control system architecture for NOx sensors is provided. Since the NOX sensor is also constructed of a heat sensitive material, it is required to achieve the highest detection accuracy at a specific temperature. The NOX sensor sends a voltage signal value to a NOX sensor control system, and detection of NOX concentration and control of NOX sensor temperature are achieved through signal conversion and data processing and the addition of control algorithms.
Cheng Junna et al propose an STM 32-based ammonia sensor control system that focuses on the control architecture of an optical ammonia sensor. The system utilizes the optical principle to detect, and estimates the concentration of ammonia by measuring the attenuation degree of light after passing through ammonia medium. In contrast, an nox sensor control system detects ammonia based on a physical temperature change of the semiconductor material. The optical ammonia sensor control system has the advantage of a highly accurate measurement principle, and the ammonia concentration is accurately monitored through the optical element. However, this is associated with higher costs, since such systems require the use of precision optical elements and specialized optical measuring equipment. In contrast, a NOx sensor control system employs relatively low cost semiconductor materials and conventional electronic measurement equipment. Although its detection principle is based on temperature variations of the semiconductor material, its cost-effective and easy-to-maintain properties make it more attractive in practical applications. Overall, there is a tradeoff between cost and performance for both ammonia sensor control systems. The optical ammonia sensor control system focuses on high accuracy detection, while a nitrogen oxide sensor control system focuses on economy and ease of use. Both have corresponding defects, so a method and a system for driving an ammonia sensor with high detection precision and low cost are needed.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for driving an ammonia sensor includes the steps of:
Step 1, acquiring the actual temperature of an ammonia sensor;
Step 2, adjusting the actual temperature of the ammonia sensor to reach the set temperature of the ammonia sensor;
And step 3, acquiring voltage signals sent by gas sensitive materials for detecting the concentration of nitrogen oxides and oxygen on the ammonia sensor on the basis that the actual temperature of the ammonia sensor reaches the set temperature, and obtaining the concentration of the ammonia and the oxygen at present through operation treatment.
In this embodiment: referring to fig. 1, step 1 specifically includes:
Step 11, acquiring data of a thermosensitive zirconia internal resistance signal on an ammonia sensor to obtain resistance data of a thermosensitive material;
And step 12, acquiring the actual temperature of the ammonia sensor based on the one-to-one correspondence between the impedance of the thermosensitive material and the temperature.
The DFT integrated interface circuit 4 is connected with the ammonia sensor, data acquisition is carried out on the thermosensitive zirconia internal resistance impedance signal on the ammonia sensor, the acquired impedance signals are transmitted to the alternating current impedance calculation module 5 of the microprocessor MCU for corresponding impedance calculation, then the temperature of the sensor at the moment can be judged by obtaining the impedance value due to the one-to-one correspondence between the impedance of the thermosensitive material and the temperature, and then the digital signal is transmitted to the temperature control module 7, the temperature control module 7 adds a certain control algorithm to control the temperature of the sensor in an optimal detection temperature range, the output high-level duty ratio is changed by utilizing the PWM principle, the temperature control of the ammonia sensor is realized, the sensor is kept in a state with the best sensitivity, and therefore the detection precision can be effectively ensured. Meanwhile, the ammonia gas sensor at the optimal temperature receives voltage signals sent by the gas sensitive material on the ammonia gas sensor for detecting the concentration of nitrogen oxides and oxygen through the allowance linear amplifying circuit 1, converts analog signals into digital signals through the transfer signal conversion module 2, sends the digital signals to the data processing module 3, performs operation processing by utilizing principles such as a Nernst equation to obtain the concentration of the ammonia gas and the oxygen gas at present, and sends the digital signals of the concentration information to the engine control unit ECU12 in a CAN communication mode to provide information for the subsequent control of the emission of the ammonia gas.
In this embodiment: referring to fig. 1, a circuit for driving an ammonia gas sensor includes:
The wide linear amplifying circuit 1 is used for receiving a voltage signal generated by the gas sensitive material on the ammonia sensor, amplifying the voltage signal in a wide linear range, acquiring an amplified signal and outputting the amplified signal to the signal conversion module 2; the allowance linear amplification circuit 1 is an amplification circuit having a large linear operation range (i.e., allowance). In the ammonia sensor control system, the main function of the system is to receive the voltage signal generated by the gas sensitive material on the ammonia sensor and amplify the voltage signal within a wide linear range. Since the voltage signal generated by the gas sensitive material may have different magnitudes under different operating conditions, the use of the spacious linear amplification circuit 1 helps to ensure that accurate and reliable amplification results can be obtained under various operating conditions without distortion or saturation. Such a circuit design helps to improve the adaptability of the system to different ammonia concentration variations, thereby enhancing the stability and reliability of the ammonia sensor control system. The key role of the allowance linear amplification circuit 1 in this scenario is to receive two key voltage signals from the ammonia sensor: one is a voltage signal regarding the nitrogen concentration, and the other is a voltage signal regarding the oxygen concentration. Through the module, the two voltage signals are amplified, so that the problem that the output signal of the ammonia sensor is weak and the MCU input requirement of the singlechip is difficult to directly meet is solved.
The signal conversion module 2 is used for converting the input amplified signal into a discrete digital signal and outputting the discrete digital signal to the data processing module 3; the main task of the signal conversion module 2 is to implement the conversion of analog signals into digital signals. In an ammonia sensor control system, the input of this module is the Nernst voltage signal for the gas sensitive material to detect nitrogen and oxygen, while the output is the continuous analog signal converted to a discrete digital signal by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). This conversion process is critical because the digital signal is easier to process and transmit and is suitable for subsequent data analysis and processing steps. The converted digital signals are then transmitted to a data processing module 3, which performs operation processing by using the principles of the nernst equation and the like, so as to obtain concentration information of ammonia and oxygen. The design and performance of the signal conversion module 2 directly affects the sensitivity and accuracy of the system to gas concentration variations. Thus, a reasonable and efficient signal conversion module 2 is a key component in an ammonia sensor control system.
The data processing module 3 is used for receiving the digital signals, calculating the concentration of nitrogen oxides (NOX value) and the concentration of oxygen (O2 value) after filtering treatment, and finally obtaining the concentration of ammonia (NH 3 value); the primary task is to receive and process the digital signals converted by the signal conversion module. The module has a plurality of key functions, including accurate data acquisition and conversion of digital signals output by the ammonia sensor, so as to ensure the reliability of the signals. In the data processing process, the system can apply a filtering technology to carry out filtering processing on the acquired signals so as to remove potential noise and interference, thereby improving the accuracy of the data and the stability of the system. In addition, the data processing module 3 also performs data transmission with other devices through a communication interface, so as to realize information sharing with an external system or perform local storage on the data. When the received data are analyzed, the module can calculate the concentration of nitrogen oxides and the concentration of oxygen, and finally the concentration of ammonia is obtained. The processed data is properly stored in memory for later retrieval, analysis or history. In addition, the data processing module 3 also has the capability of receiving and processing external data, so that the data processing module is more comprehensive. Through the complete functional set, the data processing module 3 plays a core role in the whole system, so that the ammonia sensor control system is ensured to provide highly accurate and stable gas concentration information, and a reliable basis is provided for environmental monitoring and control.
The DFT integrated interface circuit 4 is configured to receive an impedance analog signal output by the ammonia sensor, and output the impedance analog signal to the ac impedance calculation module 5; the DFT integrated interface circuit 4 is used for processing an ac electric signal, and has the main task of receiving an impedance analog signal output by the ammonia sensor and processing the impedance analog signal by utilizing the corresponding relation between ac impedance and temperature. Through this process, the DFT integrated interface circuit 4 can accurately detect the current temperature information of the ammonia sensor. In operation, the module is connected to an ammonia gas sensor, receives an impedance analog signal, and performs a Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) on the signal through a particular circuit design, converting the signal to a frequency domain representation. By analyzing the frequency domain information, the relation between the impedance signal and the temperature can be obtained, so that the current temperature of the ammonia sensor can be deduced. Finally, the DFT integrated interface circuit 4 sends the processed temperature information to the ac impedance calculation module 5, providing accurate input for subsequent impedance calculation. Through the process, the system can acquire the temperature information of the ammonia sensor in real time, and provide key basic data for temperature control and gas concentration calculation.
The alternating current impedance calculation module 5 is used for analyzing the frequency response characteristic of a thermistor (specifically, the zirconia internal resistance of the thermistor) on the ammonia sensor, measuring voltage and current signals in an alternating current circuit, calculating the impedance value of the circuit by using a calculation formula (Z=R+jX) of the impedance, obtaining the impedance value of the thermistor on the ammonia sensor, and detecting the temperature of the ammonia sensor at the moment; where R is a resistor, X is a reactance, and j is an imaginary unit.
The temperature control module 7 is used for receiving the actual temperature information of the ammonia gas sensor detected by the alternating current impedance calculation module 5 and outputting a temperature control signal to the heating drive circuit 10 according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature; the temperature control module 7 is composed of a temperature sensor (ac impedance calculation), a controller (incorporating a temperature control algorithm), and an actuator (heating drive circuit 10). The ac impedance module detects the temperature, and the controller controls the actuator to operate according to the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature, so as to control the heating driving circuit 10 to adjust the temperature. The main function of the module is that after knowing that a certain corresponding relation exists between the impedance value and the temperature of the ammonia sensor, the impedance signal of the ammonia sensor is input into the data processing module 3 for calculation processing, a temperature deviation signal value is obtained, and a control algorithm of active disturbance rejection control (Active Disturbance Rejective Control) is added into the module to control the temperature of the ammonia sensor and correct deviation. And the PWM principle can be utilized, because the digital signal is transmitted to the temperature control module 7, and is sent in a high-low level mode, the duty ratio of each period of the voltage signal can be adjusted to realize the control of the output voltage and the temperature.
The heating driving circuit 10 is used for heating and driving the ammonia sensor according to the received temperature control signal so as to match the actual temperature of the ammonia sensor with the set temperature; the heating drive circuit 10 plays a vital role in the ammonia sensor system. The working principle mainly comprises the steps of receiving a temperature control signal sent by a temperature control module 7 and heating and driving an ammonia sensor through an actual physical control means. First, the circuit receives an accurate temperature control signal from the temperature control module 7. This signal is generated based on the system's demand for sensor temperature, taking into account a preset temperature range and control algorithm. Next, upon receiving the temperature control signal, the heating drive circuit 10 performs heating of the ammonia gas sensor by a physical control means. This may include controlling the heating element or adjusting the current to ensure that the sensor remains within the optimum operating temperature range at all times. This process helps to improve the sensitivity and performance of the sensor. Meanwhile, the heating drive circuit 10 is typically equipped with a temperature sensor or other feedback mechanism for monitoring the temperature state of the actual sensor. The temperature feedback mechanism realizes closed-loop control, ensures that the sensor can maintain the optimal working temperature under different environmental conditions, and improves the detection accuracy and reliability. In summary, the heating driving circuit 10 provides effective temperature management for the ammonia sensor system through its controllable heating mechanism, so as to ensure that the sensor can maintain the optimal state under various working conditions, thereby improving the performance and stability of the whole system.

The CAN communication module 8 is used for constructing communication between the communication module 6 and the control equipment; and a controller area network (Controller Area Network, CAN) protocol is adopted to provide an efficient and reliable information transmission and communication mechanism for the system.
