Description

An exhaust gas recirculation system

technical field

The utility model relates to the technical field of engines, in particular to an exhaust gas recirculation system.

Background technique

The existing EGR system usually does not have an EGR exhaust gas flow measurement device, and only controls and calculates the EGR rate through the opening degree of the EGR valve. The method of controlling and calculating the EGR rate through the opening of the EGR valve is used for the models required by the national 5 emission regulations. Only controlling the EGR rate through the opening of the EGR valve belongs to open-loop control. After the emission is upgraded to the national 6, the emission Higher requirements are put forward for the emission of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides and soot particles in the exhaust gas, and the control accuracy of open-loop control cannot meet the requirements. The EGR system of the model needs to add a measuring device that can measure the EGR rate to perform closed-loop control of the EGR rate.

The prior art realizes different EGR rates corresponding to different working conditions by controlling the opening degree of the EGR valve, and defines the opening degree of the EGR valve under each working condition through test calibration, and the EGR valve finds the closed position through self-learning of the zero point position. of zero. Even if there is wear and tear in use, it can be adjusted to adapt to the zero position. This EGR control technology can meet the requirements of emission regulations for models with emission requirements below China 5. However, with the upgrade of emission regulations to China 6, the control accuracy of the EGR technology route can not meet the emission requirements only by calculating and controlling the EGR rate through the EGR valve opening.

There is also a method to calculate the exhaust gas flow by measuring the pressure difference before and after the EGR valve. This method is theoretically feasible, but the control accuracy is difficult to meet the national 6 emission control requirements, because the EGR valve airflow is unstable, and the pressure difference between the front and rear is affected by the change of the valve opening. The deviation between the exhaust gas flow calculated by this method and the actual value will be very large. The requirements of the national 6 emission for the measurement progress of the exhaust gas flow are within ±1%, which requires a high-precision processing flowmeter to achieve.
