Description

内燃机的排气净化装置
技术领域
本发明涉及内燃机的排气净化装置。
背景技术
以往人们就知道为了检测排气中的SOx浓度而在内燃机排气通路内配置的SOx浓度传感器,这些公知的SOx浓度传感器,通常使用固体电解质,测量通过SOx变成硫酸离子而产生的电动势,从而检测排气中的SOx浓度(例如参照日本特开2004-239706号公报)。
然而,使用这样的SOx浓度传感器的现有的SOx检测装置,存在只在高温下工作、装置规模大、特别是在SOx浓度低时不能检测出SOx浓度的大问题。像这种SOx浓度传感器过去只因为瞬时地直接检测排气中的SOx浓度才引人注目,这样一来,只要想瞬时地直接检测排气中的SOx浓度,就必然地产生如上所述的种种问题。
于是,本发明者转换想法,不是检测瞬时的SOx浓度,而是着眼于检测经过长期间的硫(S)的累计量。并且判明,若进行这样的想法的转换,则即使不直接检测排气中的SOx浓度,也能够容易地推定排气中的SOx量。
发明内容
本发明的目的在于提供能够容易地检测流入到催化剂中的SOx量的内燃机的排气净化装置。
根据本发明,提供一种内燃机的排气净化装置,所述内燃机在内燃机排气通路内配置有排气净化用催化剂,所述的内燃机的排气净化装置具备SOx传感器,由该SOx传感器的输出值推定流入到催化剂中的SOx量,所述SOx传感器具有传感部,并且可由传感部的物性变化检测被传感部捕获的硫的量,所述传感部利用比供给到燃烧室内的燃料量少的量的、且与该燃料量成比例的燃料生成检测硫用的样品气体,并捕获该样品气体中含有的硫。

具体实施方式
图1表示压缩点火式内燃机的总体图。
参照图1,各符号分别表示如下:1-内燃机主体、2-各气缸的燃烧室、3-用于向各燃烧室2内分别喷射燃料的电子控制式燃料喷射阀、4-吸气歧管、5-排气歧管、6-燃料箱。排气歧管5通过排气管7与排气净化用催化剂8连接。在图1表示的实施例中,该催化剂8包括捕获排气中含有的SOx以使SOx不流入到配置于催化剂8的下游的催化剂中的SOx捕集催化剂。
在燃料箱6上安装有燃料供给泵9,从燃料供给泵9排出的燃料在燃料分流器10中被分流成喷射用燃料和样品用燃料。喷射用燃料通过燃料供给管11与用于向各燃料喷射阀3分配燃料的共轨12连接,样品用燃料通过燃料供给管13与在排气管7的周围形成的样品气体生成室14连接。被供给到该样品气体生成室14内的样品燃料,相比于供给到燃烧室2内的喷射用燃料为极少量,并且与喷射量燃料成比例。
如图1所示,设置有用于向样品气体生成室14内供给空气的空气泵15,利用由燃料供给管13供给的燃料和由空气泵15供给的空气在样品气体生成室14内生成检测硫用的样品气体。另外,在样品气体生成室14内配置有用于检测样品气体中的硫的SOx传感器16。
电子控制单元20包括数字计算机,具备利用双向性总线21相互连接的ROM(只读存储器)22、RAM(随机存储器)23、CPU(微处理器)24、输入端口25和输出端口26。SOx传感器16的输出在检测电路29中被校正,已校正的输出通过相对应的AD转换器27输入至输入端口25。另外,在油门踏板30上连接有发生与油门踏板30的踏下量L成比例的输出电压的负荷传感器31,负荷传感器31的输出电压通过相对应的AD转换器27输入至输入端口25。此外,在输入端口25上连接有每当曲轴旋转例如15°就发生输出脉冲的曲轴转角传感器32。另一方面,输出端口26通过相对应的驱动电路28与燃料喷射阀3、燃料供给泵9和空气泵15连接。
图2表示利用SOx传感器16的硫的检测原理。SOx传感器16的传感部,由能够捕获样品气体中硫的金属或金属化合物形成,图2(A)用符号40模式地表示形成SOx传感器16的传感部的该金属或金属化合物。图2(A)所表示的金属或金属化合物40包括不含硫的金属或金属化合物。在本发明的实施例中,该金属或金属化合物40包括碱金属、碱土类金属、稀土类金属、贵金属或这些金属的化合物。
以下,以作为该金属或金属化合物40使用作为碱土类金属的一种的钡(Ba)或其化合物的情况为例对硫的检测方法进行说明。
钡(Ba)在大气中变为氧化钡(BaO)。该氧化钡(BaO)被置于排气中时,利用排气中所含有的CO、CO2而立即变成碳酸钡(BaCO3)。而且,该碳酸钡(BaCO3),利用排气中含有的NOx变成硝酸钡(Ba(NO3)2)。
即,在使用钡(Ba)的情况下,图2(A)所示的金属或金属化合物40是氧化钡(BaO)、碳酸钡(BaCO3)或硝酸钡(Ba(NO3)2),在该金属或金属化合物40被置于排气中的情况下,变成硝酸钡(Ba(NO3)2)。在本发明的实施例中,图2(A)所示的金属或金属化合物40由氧化钡(BaO)构成。
另一方面,在燃料内含有硫,因此样品气体中含有硫,该硫(S)以SOx的形式被金属或金属化合物40捕获而变成图2(A)所示的含有硫的金属化合物41。在使用钡(Ba)的情况下,该含有硫的金属化合物41是硫酸钡(BaSO4)。因此,在金属或金属化合物40被置于样品气体中的情况下,如图2(B)所示,由氧化钡(BaO)构成的金属化合物40的一部分的氧化钡(BaO)变成硫酸钡(BaSO4)。一般地表现的话,氧化物的一部分变成硫酸盐。该场合下,金属化合物41中的硫酸盐的情况是,随着时间经过,即被捕获的硫的量越增大就越高。
再者,当样品气体的空燃比为稀,即样品气体中存在充分的氧,样品气体的温度比300℃左右高时,样品气体中的硫容易以SOx的形式被金属或金属化合物40,即SOx传感器16的传感部捕获。因此,在图1所示的实施例中,控制空气泵15使得样品气体的空燃比为稀,为了为使SOx传感器16的传感部的温度达到容易以SOx的形式捕获硫的温度而提高样品气体温度,在排气管7的周围形成有样品气体生成室14。当然,为了提高样品气体的温度,也可以使用电加热器等的其他的升温装置。
另一方面,图2(C)表示金属或金属化合物40由贵金属或其化合物构成的情况。作为该贵金属,可以使用钯(Pb)、铑(Ph)或铂(Pt),图2(C)表示作为一例使用钯(Pb)的情况。该情况下,若硫被捕获,则金属氧化物(PdO)变成硫化物(PdS)。
当氧化物变成硫酸盐时,或者金属氧化物变成硫化物时,物性发生变化,因此,可以由该物性的变化检测被捕获的硫的量。另一方面,如前所述,被供给到样品气体生成室14中的燃料量,与被供给到燃烧室2内的燃料喷射量成比例,因此,若知道样品气体中的硫的量,就可知道排气中的硫的量,即流入到催化剂8中的SOx量。
因此,在本发明中,设置SOx传感器16,由该SOx传感器16的输出值推定流入到催化剂8中的SOx量,所述SOx传感器16具有捕获样品气体中所含有的硫的传感部,并且可由传感部的物性变化检测被传感部捕获的硫的量。
接着,一边参照图3~图6,一边对应该测量的物性、和与应该测量的物性相应的检测方法的代表例进行说明。再者,对于所述图3~图6,以如图2(B)所示的氧化物变成硫酸盐的情况为例进行说明。
图3表示被测量的物性为电物性,被测量的电物性为电阻的情况。
图3(A)表示硫(S)的捕获量与电阻值R的关系。如图3(A)所示,硫(S)的捕获量越增大,即从氧化物向硫酸盐的变化量越多,电阻值R越增大。因此,可以由电阻值R求出硫(S)的捕获量,即流入到催化剂8中的SOx量的累积值。
图3(B)表示图1所示的SOx传感器16的检测部。如图3(B)所示,配置于样品气体生成室14内的SOx传感器16的检测部,由检测用传感部51和参照用传感部53构成,所述检测用传感部51由被一对端子50支撑的金属化合物片形成,所述参照用传感部53由被一对端子52支撑的金属化合物片形成。检测用传感部51由氧化物形成,参照用传感部53由硫酸盐形成。当样品气体流通时,参照用传感部53不变化,但检测用传感部51的氧化物一点一点地变成硫酸盐。这样一来,检测用传感部51的电阻值R便逐渐增大。
检测用传感部51的电阻值R在周围的温度变高时变高。因此,为了除去这样的温度变化给电阻值R带来的影响,设置有参照用传感部53,例如,使用包括如图3(C)所示的惠斯登电桥的检测电路29(图1),由检测用传感部51的电阻值与参照用传感部53的电阻值之差求出硫(S)的捕获量。在使用如图3(C)所示的惠斯登电桥时,电压计54所显现的电压V,如图3(D)所示,随着硫(S)的捕集量增大而降低。该电压V通过AD转换器27输入至输入端口25。
图4~图6表示被测量的物性为热物性,被测量的热物性为热容量和导热性的情况。
如图4(A)所示,硫(S)的捕获量越增大,由金属化合物片形成的传感部的热容量越减少。因此如图4(B)所示,在传感部周围的温度上升时,硫(S)的捕获量越增大则传感部的中心温度的上升率越增高。
图5(A)表示SOx传感器16的检测部。在图5(A)所示的例子中,设置有具有一对引线60的热敏电阻元件61、和具有一对引线62的热敏电阻元件63。而且,在该例子中,通过利用金属化合物64包围热敏电阻元件61的周围而形成有检测用传感部65,通过利用金属化合物66包围热敏电阻元件63的周围而形成有参照用传感部67。
在该例中,可由检测用传感部65周围的温度变化时的热敏电阻元件61的电阻值的变化的应答性推定金属化合物64的热容量,由参照用传感部67周围的温度变化时的热敏电阻元件63的电阻值的变化的应答性推定金属化合物63的热容量,由这些热容量之差求出硫(S)的捕集量。
即,具体地讲,使用如图5(B)所示的惠斯登电桥,以电压的形式求得热敏电阻元件61的电阻值与热敏电阻元件63的电阻值之差。该情况下,显现该电阻值之差的电压计68的电压V,如图5(C)所示,被检测用传感部65捕获的硫(S)越增大则越降低。
在图6所示的例子中,设置有用于将检测用传感部65和参照用传感部67分别加热的加热器69、70。在该例中,即使是周围的温度不变化的情况下,也可以通过使这些加热器69、70发热,来求得金属化合物64与金属化合物66的热容量之差。
另外,当使检测用传感部65为高温时,由金属化合物64捕获的SOx放出,检测用传感部65被再生。因此,在该例中,通过使加热器69发热,而使检测用传感部65的温度上升,由此能够将检测用的传感部65再生。再者,该场合下,即使使样品气体的空燃比暂时为浓也能够将检测用传感部65再生。
在图1表示的实施例中,流入到SOx捕集催化剂8中的SOx被SOx捕集催化剂8捕获。因此,能够由SOx传感器16的输出值推定SOx捕集催化剂8的SOx中毒量。图7表示用于检测SOx捕集催化剂8的SOx中毒量的程序。
参照图7,首先,在步骤80中读出根据内燃机的运转状态算出的燃料喷射量。由该燃料喷射量可知被供给到样品气体生成室14内的燃料量。接着,在步骤81中算出使样品气体的空燃比为目标稀空燃比所需的目标空气供给量。接着,在步骤82中,控制空气泵15使得供给到样品气体生成室14内的空气量为该目标空气供给量。接着,在步骤83中读出例如在图3(D)中由V表示的SOx传感器16的输出值,在步骤84中由该输出值V推定SOx捕集催化剂8的SOx中毒量。
