The diameter of bypass channel 31 is less than main fluid-expelling pathway 32.Bypass channel 31 has the upstream extremity that separates from main fluid-expelling pathway 32 at component 33 places and the downstream that part 34 and main fluid-expelling pathway 32 converge of converging in the downstream of component.Bypass channel 31 is provided with bypass catalyst 35 and air-fuel ratio sensor 36 (hereinafter referred to as " the second air-fuel ratio sensor ").Bypass catalyst 35 is arranged on the upstream side of bypass channel 31, and adjacent engine 1 activates thereby realize early.Bypass catalyst 35 is the catalysts with splendid low temperature active.

The second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 is more positioned at upstream in bypass channel 31 and than bypass catalyst 35.The second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 detects the oxygen concentration of the exhaust that flows into bypass channel 31, and can obtain output proportional to oxygen concentration.The sensor element of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 heats up by heater 51.
On the other hand, the diameter of main fluid-expelling pathway 32 is greater than bypass channel 31, and the channel resistance that therefore hinders exhaust air flow is less than bypass channel 31.Switching valve 37 is arranged on the component 33 of main fluid-expelling pathway 32 and converges between part 34.Switching valve 37 opens and closes main fluid-expelling pathway 32 according to the vehicle operating state of vehicle.Therefore the exhaust passage that, switching valve 37 switches for transmitting the exhaust of discharging from motor 1.

By airometer 25, the first and second air-fuel ratio sensors 36 and 39 and the output that detects other sensors of vehicle serviceability input to controller 40.Controller 40 adopts following manner to open and close switching valve 37 according to the catalyst temperature of the catalyst 38 under floor compartment.Therefore, the passage that transmits the exhaust of discharging from motor 1 is switched to bypass channel 31 or main fluid-expelling pathway 32 by controller 40.Controller 40 is according to the voltage that applies of the resistance value control heater 50 of the sensor element of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 and the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, and by the temperature increase of sensor element to set point of temperature.Controller 40 is adjusted the position of throttle valve 24 and the fuel injection rate of Fuelinjection nozzle 14 according to the output value of air-fuel ratio sensor 36 and 39, and the air fuel ratio of control engine 1.
Fig. 2 A and 2B are the schematic diagram that the exhaust stream of discharging from motor 1 is shown.Fig. 2 A illustrates when the exhaust stream of switching valve 37 during in closed condition.Fig. 2 B illustrates when the exhaust stream of switching valve 37 during in open mode.Exhaust stream illustrates by the arrow in schematic diagram, and the flow rate of exhaust illustrates by the thickness of line.
After motor 1 has started and at engine temperature and the lower other times of delivery temperature, close immediately switching valve 37 and blocking-up main fluid-expelling pathway 32, as shown in Figure 2 A.Reason for this reason, all exhausts of discharging from motor 1 are flow through component 33 by bypass channel 31 and are purified by bypass catalyst 35.The position adjacent engine 1 that bypass catalyst 35 arranges, therefore by quick active and can be at stage purifying exhaust gas early.The exhaust stream being purified by bypass catalyst 35 is to the downstream side of bypass channel 31, and flows into main fluid-expelling pathway 32 from converging part 34, and is released into outside air after the catalyst 38 by under floor compartment.
Adopt in this way, in the time of starting and engine low temperature and exhaust low temperature, switching valve 37 makes exhaust stream cross bypass channel 31 in closed condition.In this case, be arranged on the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 in bypass channel 31 and detect the oxygen concentration of the exhaust of flowing through bypass channel 31.Then controller 40 adjusts the position of throttle valve 24 and fuel injection rate according to the checkout value of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 and according to the engine operation state control air fuel ratio of motor 1.
On the other hand, when when the exhaust-gas temperature rising of the catalyst 38 under floor compartment by motor 1 and while activating or under in response to driver, throttle pressure port increases moment of torsion and exhaust flow rate increase, switching valve 37 is opened in the mode shown in Fig. 2 B so.Then controller 40 adjusts the position of throttle valve 24 and fuel injection rate according to the checkout value of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 and according to the engine operation state control air fuel ratio of motor 1.
In the time opening switching valve 37, the major part of the exhaust of discharging from motor 1 flows through main fluid-expelling pathway 32.Part exhaust also flows into bypass channel 31.But, because the cross sectional area of bypass channel 31 is less than main fluid-expelling pathway 32, so be less than main fluid-expelling pathway 32 by the exhaust flow rate of bypass channel 31.Reason for this reason, the heat of the bypass catalyst 35 producing during by bypass catalyst 35 when high-temperature exhaust air worsens and is reduced.The exhaust of having flow through main fluid-expelling pathway 32 and bypass channel 31 purifies and is released into outside air by the catalyst 38 under floor compartment.
Adopt in this way, in the time that switching valve 37 is opened, the exhaust flow rate that flows through the exhaust of main fluid-expelling pathway 32 is greater than the exhaust of flowing through bypass channel 31.Therefore,, in the time opening switching valve 37, by switching to from the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 being arranged on bypass channel 31 the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 being arranged in main fluid-expelling pathway 32, can accurately measure the oxygen concentration of exhaust.Can make adjustment according to the checkout value of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, make the position of throttle valve 24 and the fuel injection rate engine operation state corresponding to motor 1, and according to the engine operation state control air fuel ratio of motor 1.
When switching valve 37 is during in closed condition, a part of exhaust of motor 1 is still present in the position of contiguous switching valve 37 in main fluid-expelling pathway 32.Residual gas (delay gas) between demurrage by main fluid-expelling pathway 32 and switching valve 37 release heat.Therefore, the temperature of this residual gas (delay gas) is lower than the exhaust just having given off from motor 1.When cooling, be detained the condensate moisture in gas and be attached on switching valve 37 and miscellaneous part by switching valve 37 and miscellaneous part when being detained gas.In the time that switching valve 37 is opened, moisture is rushed at downstream.In the time that attachment of moisture is being warming up on the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 of activationary temperature, the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is cooling fast.May have following problems,, in the time that the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is cooled rapidly by this way, the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 ftractures and the oxygen concentration in exhaust cannot accurately be detected.In light of this situation, the moisture that the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is preferably arranged on above-mentioned condensed moisture and other types is not too easy to the position of adhering to.
In light of this situation, in the first embodiment, in the time that switching valve 37 cuts out, the voltage that is applied to heater 50 is restricted, the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is preheated to the set point of temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) that can not ftracture lower than sensor element activationary temperature and the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.Switching valve 37 is opened, and then the voltage that is applied to heater 50 increase, and the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is warming up to activationary temperature.
In the preferred embodiment, the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is preheated to the set point of temperature that can not ftracture by heater 50.In another embodiment, in the time that switching valve 37 cuts out (before switching valve 37 is opened) can be by Temperature Setting in the situation that there is no pre-hot heater for fully lower than set point of temperature, after switching valve 37 has been opened through starting preheating by heater 50 after scheduled time length.In this case, also obviously can avoid the cracking of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.
Except foregoing, in the case of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 being preheated to the set point of temperature that can not produce sensor cracking by heater 50 before switching valve 37 is opened, before switching valve 37 is opened, the temperature of element can not be increased to the temperature that the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 will ftracture.There is cracking in the sensor element that therefore can prevent the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, and owing to the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 being heated to can not produce the set point of temperature of cracking, so switching valve opened after temperature difference between temperature and the sensor activation temperature of sensor element of air-fuel ratio sensor can be reduced, and can after switching valve is opened, reach more rapidly sensor activation temperature.
In the first embodiment, the voltage that is applied to heater 50 by control promotes the temperature of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.Specifically, the voltage that is applied to heater 50 by increase increases the temperature of heater, and heats the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.According to the temperature of the resistance value setting sensor element of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram that the characteristic relation between the sensor element temperature of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 and the resistance value of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is shown.Horizontal axis illustrates the resistance value of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, and vertical shaft illustrates the temperature of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.The resistance value of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 reduces along with the increase of sensor element temperature, as shown in Figure 3.
In light of this situation, the resistance value that makes the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 in the time that switching valve 37 cuts out to being applied to the voltage adjustment of heater 50 is R1, and the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is set as to the temperature T 1 (setting the set point of temperature of about 50 DEG C to 150 DEG C according to sensor) that the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 can not ftracture when the adhesive water.
Next, open switching valve 37, moisture flow further downstream and by the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, the resistance value that the voltage that is applied to heater 50 (the first heat riser) then increases the sensor element that makes the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 becomes R2, thereby and adjustment temperature reaches the sensor element temperature T 2 (different according to sensor, to be still for example temperature of about 200 DEG C) that the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is activated.
Because the temperature increase of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is to be enough to the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 can not to be ftractureed flow further downstream in the situation that being attached to moisture on switching valve 37 in the time that switching valve cuts out in the time that switching valve is opened, so can keep the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 30 not produce cracking.
Here, when illustrating that motor 1 starts the figure list deciding moisture of moisture by the preset relation between time and water temperature whether by the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.
Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram that the relation between water temperature when moisture starts by time and motor 1 is shown.Horizontal axis illustrates the coolant temperature in the time that motor 1 starts.Vertical shaft illustrates that moisture passes through the time of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.During along with starting, the increase of water temperature, will set shortlyer by the time, as shown in Figure 4.In other words,, when in the time of engine start, the colder or water temperature of motor 1 is lower, the temperature of switching valve 37 is lower and be detained gas and be easily cooled.Therefore, be attached to the amount increase of the moisture on switching valve 37.Reason for this reason in the situation that in the time of starting, water temperature being lower, is set longlyer by moisture by the time in the time that switching valve 37 is opened.
On the contrary, when water temperature is higher in the time of engine start, be detained gas only moderately cooling by switching valve 37, therefore attachment of moisture is still less on switching valve 37.Therefore the low time of water temperature while, moisture being set to such an extent that be shorter than starting by the time of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39.
The control details of the first embodiment's who is carried out by controller 40 here, air-fuel ratio control device 100 describes with reference to Fig. 5.
Fig. 5 is the flow chart that the control program of the first embodiment's air-fuel ratio control device 100 is shown.This is controlled at and when motor 1 starts, starts and carry out with the cycle of fixing, and for example, 10 millisecond periods, until use the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 to start air fuel ratio control.
At step S1, controller 40 judges whether switching valve 37 has opened main fluid-expelling pathway 32.Here, at switching valve 37, in closed condition in the situation that, program advances to step S2, switching valve 37 in open mode in the situation that program advance to step S7.
At step S2, controller 40 applies voltage to the heater 50 and 51 that the sensor element of air-fuel ratio sensor 36 and 39 is heated up.By the temperature increase of the sensor element of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 to activationary temperature.When switching valve 37 is opened and attachment of moisture on the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 time, restriction is applied to the voltage of heater 50, and the temperature of the sensor element of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 is increased to the temperature (for example, 100 DEG C) that sensor element can not ftracture.
At step S3, controller 40 judges that whether the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 is in active state.Make activating according to the sensor element temperature of air-fuel ratio sensor 36 and judge.In the time that controller 40 is judged the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 in active state, program advances to step S4.In the time judging the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 in unactivated state, present procedure finishes.
At step S4, controller 40 is according to the air fuel ratio of the checkout value control engine 1 of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36.Step S4 forms the second air fuel ratio control section.Specifically, in the time that switching valve 37 cuts out, the exhaust stream of firing chamber 11 is crossed bypass channel 31.Therefore,, at step S4, the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 being arranged in bypass channel 31 detects the oxygen concentration of the exhaust of flowing through bypass channel 31, and makes oxygen concentration reach the air fuel ratio corresponding to motor 1 serviceability according to this checkout value.
At step S5, controller 40 judges according to the catalyst temperature being detected by catalyst-temperature pickup 38a whether the catalyzer 38 under floor compartment is activated.
The exhaust of having flow through bypass channel 31 is purified by bypass catalyst 35 and enters main fluid-expelling pathway 32 converging part 34 places.The exhaust that has flowed into main passage is by being arranged on the catalyzer 38 under the floor compartment in main fluid-expelling pathway 32 downstreams, and therefore catalyzer 38 under floor compartment is little by little promoted to catalyzer activationary temperature.Here, in the time that the catalyzer 38 under floor compartment has reached activationary temperature, program advances to step S6, finishes present procedure in the time that the catalyzer 38 under floor compartment does not also reach activationary temperature.In the time that the catalyzer 38 under floor compartment is activated, at step S6 controller 40, switching valve 37 is opened from closed condition, and switched the passage that exhaust is flow through.
Before catalyzer 38 under floor compartment has been judged and is activated, when throttle pressure port under driver is when producing moment of torsion and exhaust rate is increased, can open switching valve 37.
At step S7, controller 40 is judged whether the second air-fuel ratio sensor control mode in the air fuel ratio by the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 control engines 1 of control mode, or the first air-fuel ratio sensor control mode in the air fuel ratio by the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39 control engines 1.
At step S8, controller 40 judges that whether control mode is in the first air-fuel ratio sensor control mode.Here,, when control mode is during in the second air-fuel ratio sensor control mode, program advances to step S10.At step S10, controller 40 is according to the air fuel ratio of the checkout value control engine 1 of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36, then EOP end of program.On the other hand, when control mode is during in the first air-fuel ratio sensor control mode, program advances to step S9.
At step S9, controller 40 is adjusted position and the fuel injection rate of throttle valve according to the checkout value of the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, and according to the serviceability control air fuel ratio of motor 1.Step S9 forms the first air fuel ratio control section.Then, program advances to step S11.
In the time that the air fuel ratio control of motor 1 has been started by the first air-fuel ratio sensor 39, the heater 51 of the second air-fuel ratio sensor 36 is closed at step S11, then EOP end of program.
Next, with reference to Fig. 6, control mode judgement is described.Fig. 6 is the flow chart that the control program of the control mode judgement in step S7 is shown.Step S7 forms control mode switch part.
