Description

Catalyst diagnostic system and method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of vehicle catalyst diagnostics, and more particularly, to a catalyst diagnostic system and method that utilizes a signal of a post-oxygen sensor to diagnose catalyst status.
Background
A catalyst is often provided as a purification device on a vehicle in order to purify various pollutants from exhaust gas discharged from an engine (typically, a gasoline engine). These contaminants include, but are not limited to, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (Hydrocarbon), and Nitrogen Oxides (NO)x) And the like. It is known in the art that catalysts may experience a reduction or even failure in purification or conversion efficiency with use. In the event of a reduction or failure of the catalyst efficiency, the effectiveness of the purification of the vehicle exhaust will be compromised. For this reason, the national emission standard of GB18352.5-2013 (national emission standard of V) puts more stringent requirements on catalyst diagnosis.
A common method is to detect the state of the catalyst by detecting the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, such as a dual oxygen sensor active detection method. Specifically, the catalyst is connected in series on the engine exhaust pipe, and two oxygen sensors, also called a front oxygen sensor and a rear oxygen sensor, are provided in the exhaust pipe upstream and downstream of the catalyst, respectively. When the engine is in a specific operating condition, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) actively enriches and reduces combustible mixture entering the engine. In this process, the front oxygen sensor and the rear oxygen sensor measure the interval time of the rich-lean state change of the combustible mixture. This measurement process adversely affects the closed-loop control of the engine fuel because it requires a change in rich-lean condition of the combustible mixture.
It is therefore desirable to devise a catalyst diagnostic system and method that overcomes at least one of the above-referenced problems.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the description is illustrative only, and is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
First, it should be noted that the terms top, bottom, upward, downward and the like are defined relative to the directions in the drawings, and they are relative terms, and thus can be changed according to the different positions and different practical states in which they are located. These and other directional terms should not be construed as limiting terms.
Furthermore, it should be noted that any single technical feature described or implied in the embodiments herein, or any single technical feature shown or implied in the figures, can still be combined between these technical features (or their equivalents) to obtain other embodiments of the invention not directly mentioned herein.
Moreover, in the different figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same or substantially the same components.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prior art catalyst diagnostic system. In which the catalyst 10 is connected in series on a line 20, the gas in the line 20 moving generally in the direction indicated by arrow a. A front oxygen sensor 11 is disposed upstream of the catalyst 10, and a rear oxygen sensor 12 is disposed downstream of the catalyst 10, the front and rear oxygen sensors 11, 12 being coupled to a processing module 30 (e.g., ECU), respectively. The processing module 30 is configured to collect data from the front and rear oxygen sensors 11, 12 in order to monitor the state of the catalyst.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of a catalyst diagnostic system of the present invention. In contrast to the prior art catalyst diagnostic system shown in FIG. 1, it eliminates the front oxygen sensor 11.
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of one embodiment of a catalyst diagnostic method of the present invention. Wherein the processing module calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst using the vibration frequency and amplitude of the signal measured by the rear oxygen sensor 12 in different states of the catalyst. Specifically, the method comprises the following diagnosis steps:
(1) judging engine stable conditions and catalyst diagnosis conditions;
(2) the ECU acquires signals through a rear oxygen sensor at intervals;
(3) the ECU processes the voltage value of the signal acquired from the rear oxygen sensor;
(4) the ECU calculates the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst by using the processed post-oxygen sensor signal;
(5) and judging the diagnosis result.
Specifically, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in step (2), the ECU collects signals from the post-oxygen sensor at time intervals of 15.6 ms. In step (3), the ECU digitally high-pass filters the voltage value of the signal collected from the post-oxygen sensor according to the following formula:
wherein:
FT N[]a high-pass filtered value for time N;
FT N[-1]a high-pass filtered value at the time of N-1;
FT N[-2]the high-pass filtered value at the time of N-2;
the signal value of the post oxygen sensor at the time N;
the signal value of the post-oxygen sensor at the time of N-1;
the signal value of the post-oxygen sensor at the N-2 moment is obtained;
B1、B2、A3 andAand 2 is a filter coefficient.
It should be noted that, preferably, the time difference between two adjacent time instants is a time interval of the processing module collecting the signal from the post-oxygen sensor. In other words, in the above preferred embodiment, the time difference between time N and time N-1 is equal to the time interval between the times when the ECU collects signals from the post-oxygen sensor, e.g., 15.6 ms; the time difference between time N-1 and time N-2 is also equal to the time interval. And the high-pass filtered value at the starting instant, i.e. instant 0, is 0.
Furthermore, provision is preferably made in step (3) to avoid unpredictable factors from influencing the diagnostic result of the catalyst. Specifically, if the filtered value of the post-oxygen sensor signal of the next calculation period is less than the filtered value of the previous calculation period, the ECU will retain the filtered value of the post-oxygen sensor signal of the previous period until the filtered value of the next calculation period is greater than this value. In the preferred embodiment, the maximum retention time is 50 calculation cycles.
In step (4), the ECU integrates and converts the filtered signal of the rear oxygen sensor to obtain the oxygen storage capacity value of the catalystFN [N]The formula is as follows:
wherein,Kaare conversion coefficients.
As will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art,B1、B2、A3、A2 andKthe value of a may be determined based on different engine and exhaust system configurations and parameters, and may also be determined by performing experimentation, data acquisition, and data processing and fitting processes.
In step (5), the ECU judges that the diagnosis result of the catalyst, such as the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst, is normal, and then judges that the diagnosis result is passed; and if the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst is abnormal, determining that the catalyst is invalid.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the processing module 30 is an ECU. However, the processing module 30 of the present invention may be other control modules on the vehicle, such as a vehicle controller or an engine controller, etc., according to actual needs. The catalyst diagnostic method of the present invention may be implemented either in a software module in the processing module 30 or by a separate or discrete circuit module.
As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the catalyst diagnostic system and method of the present invention need only employ data from the rear oxygen sensor, and thus the front oxygen sensor may not be provided in the catalyst diagnostic system, thereby reducing costs. It is also understood that the catalyst diagnostic method of the present invention may be applied to existing catalyst diagnostic systems.
It will also be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the above-described catalyst diagnostic system and method does not require rich-lean switching of the engine's fuel mixer, and therefore does not affect closed-loop control of the engine fuel, thereby improving engine control and operating efficiency, reducing emissions, and reducing overall vehicle cost.
