Run duration, each cylinder in the motor 10 all experiences four stroke cycle usually: this circulation comprises aspirating stroke, compression stroke, expansion stroke and exhaust stroke.Usually during aspirating stroke, exhaust valve 54 closures, and intake valve 52 is opened.Through intake manifold 44 air is introduced in the firing chamber 30, and piston 36 moves to the bottom of cylinder, so that increase the volume in the firing chamber 30.Those skilled in the art are called lower dead center (BDC) with piston 36 near the bottom of cylinder and the position that is in the end (for example, when firing chamber 30 is in its maximum volume) of its stroke usually.During compression stroke, intake valve 52 and exhaust valve 54 closures.Piston 36 moves towards cylinder head, so that the air in the compression and combustion chamber 30.Those skilled in the art are in piston 36 the terminal of its stroke and are called top dead center (TDC) near the point of cylinder head (for example, when firing chamber 30 is in its minimum volume) usually.Be called hereinafter in the process of injection, fuel is introduced in the firing chamber.In some instances, cylinder cycle period, can be with fuel multi-injection suction casig.Be called hereinafter in the process of igniting, through ignition by compression or for example known ignition mechanism such as spark plug (not shown) light injected fuel, cause burning.During expansion stroke, expanding gas pushes back BDC with piston 36.Bent axle 40 is converted into piston motion the rotation torque of running shaft.At last, during exhaust stroke, exhaust valve 54 is opened, thereby the air-fuel mixture after will burning is released into gas exhaust manifold 48, and piston returns TDC.Notice that preceding text are merely example, and the unlatching of intake & exhaust valves and/or closed can change regularly, valve overlap, intake valve retarded closing or various other examples of plus or minus for example are provided.In addition, in some instances, can use two stroke cycle but not four stroke cycle.
According to a first aspect of the invention; The particulate filter of vent systems that is used to have the motor vehicle of exhaust pathway comprises filter and comprises second filter; Wherein in service normally; Exhaust pathway passes filter, and wherein under overload or the situation near the storage capacity of filter, exhaust pathway passes second filter.In overload or under near the situation of the storage capacity of filter (being also referred to as first filter or main filter) (for example, the particulate matter of storing predetermined threshold quantity), activate second filter at this.Then, second filter filtering exhaust stream.According to the present invention, under overload or the situation near the storage capacity of soot filters, blast air continues to be filtered.
Thereby, still observe discharge regulation, and can alleviate the degeneration in the exhaust after treatment system.Under overload or the situation near the storage capacity of soot filters, blast air can basically only flow through second filter, or through second filter and to a certain extent through (first) filter.Except overload or near the storage capacity, also possibly reduce the having a strong impact on of degenerate state of the filter that exhaust back pressure wherein increases in this way.Correspondingly, the pattern that wherein activates one or more second filter also can be called as second operating mode.In said second operating mode, the soot filters and/or can begin filter exchange of can regenerating.
Second filter can center on said filter.Say that from the aspect that flows this is the layout of expectation, it saves space and compatible with the installation dimension of having set up more.Particulate filter can be a cylindrical form, and itself and tubulose vent systems are coordinated good.
Second filter can have suction valve and outlet valve.Through the said valve or the mode of the similar device of trap (flap) or some other variable openings for example, can activate second filter.That is to say that can convert the exhaust line wire system into second pattern from the normal mode that blast air passes said filter, wherein blast air passes second filter.In some instances, the exhaust line wire system can only comprise single suction valve, and does not comprise outlet valve.
Can be through spring to suction valve and/or outlet valve preloading.Can realize conversion through the plain mode of one or more spring.Spring on the suction valve can form by size, when reaching specific exhaust back pressure with box lunch, opens exhaust pathway so that exhaust gets in second filter.Spring on the outlet valve can form by size, when being higher than the pressure in the exhaust area of filter or particulate filter with the pressure in convenient second filter, opens said path so that second filter is discharged in exhaust.Thereby in some instances, the exhaust line wire system can passively be moved, and does not need electric control.
In order to survey the load of second filter, can in the zone of second filter, arrange pressure transducer.Therefore, can begin the regeneration of second filter, and for example exchange particulate filter and/or one or more status message, so that improve the integration of whole system thus with exhaust after treatment system and/or engine management controller.
Can be provided for surveying the sensor of the position of suction valve and/or outlet valve.Through said sensor, can survey the operating mode of particulate filter, and send information to other system.Can in the zone of second filter, arrange temperature transducer.Thermometry in the zone of second filter can be with for example using in the measurement of the delivery temperature at the suction port place of vent systems, thereby survey operating mode.Can be mobile (wall-flow) filter of wall or through-flow (throughflow) filter with the filter and/or second filter design.The filter type of said foundation is fit to particulate filter very much.
According to a second aspect of the invention, be used for purification of combustion equipment, especially the method for the blast air of the motor of motor vehicle may further comprise the steps: through the filter cleaning blast air, under the situation of filter overload, make the blast air diverted flow cross second filter.
Use advantage and modification same as described above at this equally.Because the turning to of blast air can be reduced because the engine damage that the exhaust back pressure increase causes or the possibility of degeneration.Can survey gathering of particulate matter in the particulate filter overload or first and/or second particulate filter through the exhaust back pressure that increases.Can carry out said detection through one or more sensor.On the other hand, also can use to be used to turn to the device of blast air to survey overload, for example through changing or activate the device of one or more the steering gear in the dark.
In overload or reach under the situation of threshold value soot storage capacity of second filter, its filter efficiency possibly descend, and exhaust back pressure can remain on normal level.This has the following advantages, and promptly exhaust back pressure does not increase through second filter once more.When blast air passes second filter, first particulate filter and/or can begin filter exchange of can regenerating.Thereby, can during the working time of second filter, recover the state of (first) filter.When regenerating and/or exchanged first filter, can pass through first filter once more by directing exhaust gas stream.In this way, first particulate filter is returned normal operation mode.Can follow the regeneration of second filter after this.
Thereby the system among Fig. 1 provides a kind of vent systems of motor vehicle, and it comprises: first particulate filter; Second particulate filter; And exhaust line wire system; This exhaust line wire system comprises through first exhaust passage of first particulate filter and through second exhaust passage of second particulate filter, is biased in operating position and is positioned at the suction valve at the first and second particulate filter upper reaches.Said vent systems comprises following situation; Particulate in being stored in first particulate filter is during less than threshold level; Exhaust basically only is directed to first particulate filter; And the particulate in being stored in first particulate filter is during greater than threshold level, and the exhaust line wire system is supplied to second particulate filter with exhaust.
Said vent systems also comprises the situation of second particulate filter around first particulate filter.In some instances, vent systems further comprises the preloaded spring that suction valve is biased in operating position.The exhaust applied pressure can overcome the power of spring, thereby opens suction valve.Vent systems further comprises outlet valve, and it is positioned at the downstream of second particulate filter and first particulate filter.Vent systems further comprises the preloaded spring that outlet valve is biased in operating position.
Vent systems further comprises the pressure transducer that is positioned at the first particulate filter upper reaches.Pressure transducer can be used as and determines when the basis of opening suction valve.In addition, pressure transducer can be used as the basis that determines when closed suction valve.Vent systems further comprises the pressure transducer that is positioned at the second particulate filter downstream.Vent systems further comprises suction valve position transducer, exhaust valve positions sensor and the temperature transducer that is positioned at the second particulate filter upper reaches.
With reference now to Fig. 2,, it shows and is used for explosive motor, for example is used for the vent systems or the exhaust after treatment system 70 of the explosive motor of motor vehicle.The blast air 203 that explosive motor the produces gas exhaust piping 202 of on relief opening or exhaust duct direction, flowing through.In gas exhaust piping 202, be furnished with particulate filter 204, it also can be the constituent element of gas exhaust piping 202 or vent systems 70.In order to reduce discharging, particulate filter 204 is used for particulate is leached from blast air 203.Blast air 203 is advanced along exhaust pathway 203 in particulate filter 204, and said exhaust pathway has the reference mark identical with blast air 203.
In order to filter, particulate filter 204 comprises filter 205, and it is designed to the wall flow filter at this.What be arranged in filter 205 upper reaches is the air inlet area 206 of particulate filter 204, and this air inlet area broadens the cross section of gas exhaust piping 202 to be the bigger cross section of filter 205.What be arranged in filter 205 downstream is exhaust area 207, and it is contracted to cross section the cross section of gas exhaust piping 202 once more.Filter 205 is about running shaft 208 rotation symmetries with particulate filter 204 by global design.The inner region of filter 205, especially stream pipe (flow duct) and/or wall need not rotate symmetry.
Filter 205 is centered on by second filter 209, and said second filter 209 is similar to (first) filter 205, and said second filter 209 comprises filter cell 210, for example pipeline, wall and/or suitable material.Second filter 209 separates with filter 205 structures, that is to say, does not have the connection of blast air 203 between two filters 205 and 209.In one example, contiguous first filter of second filter and formation are around the anchor ring of first filter.Second filter can have the length longer than first filter, thereby solves the variation of comparing the anchor ring of second filter of flowing through with the avette or circular cross section of first filter of flowing through.In addition, the unit size of second filter, shape and/or interval all can be different with first filter.In one example, the cellar area of comparable first filter of the cellar area of second filter is bigger.In addition, therefore the single jar of housing that can form around first and second filters can be merely blast air single suction port and relief opening via said jar are provided.
In air inlet area 206, be furnished with one or more suction valve 211, this suction valve connects air inlet area 206, and therefore gas exhaust piping 202 is connected to second filter 209.Suction valve 211 can be distributed on the inner circumference of second filter 209.In exhaust area 207, be furnished with one or more outlet valve 212, this outlet valve is connected to exhaust area 207 with second filter 209, and therefore is connected to gas exhaust piping 202.Can design similarly and/or arranging exhaust air valve 212 with suction valve 211.In addition, blast air can be in and help open valve to get into and to leave on the direction of second filter.
In order to survey the temperature in second filter 209, in second filter 209, arranged temperature transducer 213.Also can in the zone of second filter 209, arrange temperature transducer 213, for example arrange temperature transducer 213 on the outer wall of second filter 209 or on outlet valve 212.What in second filter 209, arrange equally is pressure transducer 214, based on increased pressure, can survey the load of second filter 209 through this pressure transducer 214.Pressure transducer 214 need directly be arranged in second filter 209 yet, but for example can be arranged in the suction valve 211.
One or more sensor 215, the mode through example shows the position that two sensors are surveyed suction valves 211 and/or outlet valve 212.Depend on the number of suction valve 211 and outlet valve 212, a plurality of sensors 215 can be provided.One or more sensor 215 also can only be surveyed the position of one or more suction valve 211, perhaps only surveys the position of one or more outlet valve 212.Show particulate filter 204 and have sensor 213,214 and 215, but particulate filter 204 also can form self-evidently and do not have sensor fully, perhaps can only be equipped with some sensors in the said sensor.
The operation of particulate filter 204 below will be described based on Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.When filter 205 complete functions, that is to say that do not degenerate, perhaps particulate overload perhaps is stored under the situation of particulate matter less than threshold quantity in first particulate filter 204, particulate filter 204 is in normal mode (for example, Fig. 2).In said normal mode, the exhaust back pressure that particulate filter 204 produces is in normal range (NR), and it does not make motor or vent systems degenerate, and does not cause that perhaps the threshold value of engine power reduces.In order to be cleaned, the blast air 203 that passes gas exhaust piping 202 filter 205 of flowing through.Therefore, at normal operation period, exhaust pathway 203 filter 205 of flowing through.
Just at run duration, in filter 205, gather ever-increasing granule amount at explosive motor, make the particle loaded continuous increase of filter 205, consequently the flow resistance of filter 205 increases.Therefore, exhaust back pressure increases, and reaches certain value up to it, and at this value place, the decreased performance of explosive motor surpasses threshold quantity, the risk that perhaps exists explosive motor or vent systems to degenerate.Now, particulate filter 204 converts second pattern shown in Figure 20 2 into, and wherein exhaust pathway 203, that is to say, the path of blast air 203 is through second filter 209.
Change the trigger of operating mode or the exhaust back pressure that spur can be filter 205, and be the exhaust back pressure of particulate filter 204 therefore.Can through in the air inlet area 206 for example or the pressure transducer 240 in the gas exhaust piping 202 confirm exhaust back pressure.If but exhaust back pressure surpasses predefine and/or variable specific threshold, then suction valve 211 is opened, so that exhaust pathway passes second filter 209.Suction valve 211 can activate via actuator 250 is outside, for example through motor or mechanical system is outside activates, perhaps opens and closed through mechanism or actuator 250 are inner, for example through being arranged in spring and the closure or openness on the valve or in the valve.In having the example of spring, can omit the sensor that is used for exhaust back pressure, because when being higher than the exhaust back pressure of being set by spring force, valve is opened automatically.
Then, blast air 203 is filtered by second filter 209.Be similar to suction valve 211, under increased pressure, outlet valve 212 is opened.If the pressure in second filter 209 surpasses the pressure in the exhaust area 207, then the outlet valve 212 of spring preload is opened, so that filter 205 is passed in blast air 203 circulations.Not getting rid of fraction blast air 203 here, continues through filter 205 circulations.When blast air 203 passes second filter 209,, can carry out the regeneration of first filter 205 in order to recover the performance of first filter 205.
Here, second filter 209 is constructed to make that its filter efficiency reduces under the situation of second filter, 209 overload, and exhaust back pressure remains on normal level.In other words, this means that even under the long playing relatively situation of second filter 209, exhaust back pressure does not increase to performance that reduces explosive motor or the degree of damaging explosive motor yet.
In addition, but working pressure sensor 214 to survey the load of second filter 209.Under 209 overload of second filter or situation, can begin the initiative regeneration of second filter 209 near overload.In addition, the overload pattern can be indicated, and regeneration or filter exchange can be begun.Begin which kind of measure and can be depending on the required cracking pressure of suction valve 211 and/or outlet valve 212.The level of filter load can come from this.
