  • Patent number: 11572818
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a self-adaptive oil spraying control system and method for a biodiesel engine. The control system includes an exhaust pipe, a gas sensor, a control module and an oil sprayer, wherein the exhaust pipe is connected to the oil sprayer, the gas sensor is mounted in the exhaust pipe, and the gas sensor and the oil sprayer are connected to the control module respectively. According to the control method, a main spray advance angle of the engine is subjected to closed-loop control directly through comparison between an idling steady state NOx emission signal and an idling steady state NOx emission value of pure diesel when the engine uses the biodiesel, so that emission of NOx in the exhaust is reduced. Compared with the prior art, the disclosure has the advantages of no need of detecting a biodiesel ratio, high efficiency, good effect and the like.

  • Patent number: 11561212
    Abstract: A method for determining NOx sensor data falsification based on remote emission monitoring, includes the steps of: acquiring a plurality of vehicle data sets and urea level data of to-be-tested reference vehicles, wherein vehicle data include NOx sensor readings and corresponding engine data vectors; acquiring urea level data of reference vehicles; calculating standard urea consumption per kilometer; (2) acquiring an average distribution probability of the vehicle data of the to-be-tested vehicles through a probability distribution evaluation step; counting a total proportion of invalid or negative NOx sensor readings in the plurality of vehicle data sets; determining whether the data of the to-be-tested vehicles satisfy one or more falsification conditions; if so, determining that the data from the NOx sensors of the to-be-tested vehicles are falsified; otherwise, determining that the data from the NOx sensors of the to-be-tested vehicles are not falsified.

  • Patent number: 11225927
    Abstract: An air-fuel ratio control system for a hybrid vehicle engine is provided, including a torque coordination calculation module, which converts a target effective torque of a hybrid power control unit into a target indicated torque; a torque estimation module, which obtains an estimated indicated torque according to an operating state of an engine; an air-fuel ratio feedback control module, which generates a feedback correction factor based on deviation between the estimated indicated torque and the target indicated torque; and an air-fuel ratio feedforward control module, which converts the target indicated torque into an air-fuel ratio feedforward control signal according to a calibration parameter and engine speed. A target air-fuel ratio is obtained by correcting the air-fuel ratio feedforward control signal, via the feedback correction factor; and the target air-fuel ratio is configured to act on the engine to achieve air-fuel ratio control.
