Definitions

  • the invention relates to an exhaust gas control apparatus that purifies exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine (hereinafter also simply referred to as "engine”). More particularly, the invention relates to an internal combustion engine exhaust gas control apparatus that purifies exhaust gas from a diesel engine using a particulate filter.
  • engine an internal combustion engine
  • Exhaust gas that is discharged when driving an internal combustion engine such as a petrol engine or a diesel engine contains matter that is not desirable to discharge into the atmosphere as it is.
  • exhaust gas from a diesel engine contains particulate matter (hereinafter also simply referred to as "PM") of which carbon is the main component, soot, and soluble organic fraction (SOF), and the like, all of which cause air pollution.
  • PM particulate matter
  • SOF soluble organic fraction
  • One known apparatus that purifies PM in exhaust gas is an exhaust gas control apparatus that reduces the amount of emissions discharged into the atmosphere by providing a particulate filter in an exhaust passage of a diesel engine and trapping PM in exhaust gas that passes through the exhaust passage.
  • DPFs Diesel Particulate Filters
  • DPNR Diesel Particulate-NOx Reduction system
  • filter When trapping PM using a particulate filter (hereinafter also simply referred to as "filter”), the filter will become clogged when a large amount of trapped PM has accumulated. When this happens, pressure loss of the exhaust gas that passes through the filter increases, which causes the exhaust gas back pressure in the engine to increase. As a result, engine output and fuel efficiency both decrease.
  • filter particulate filter
  • the filter is regenerated by oxidising (burning off) the PM on the filter by increasing the catalyst bed temperature. More specifically, the filter is regenerated, for example, by increasing the temperature of an oxidation catalyst (i.e., the exhaust gas temperature) upstream of the filter (i.e., on the upstream side of the exhaust gas flow) by additionally injecting a small amount of fuel (in a post injection) after a main fuel injection (a main injection), and then oxidising (burning off) the PM that has accumulated on the filter by executing a filter regenerating post injection (see Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2008-202573 ( JP-A-2008-202573 ), for example).
  • JP-A-2008-202573 JP-A-2008-202573
  • the filter regeneration duration i.e., the duration of the post injection
  • filter regeneration is prohibited for a predetermined period of time (more specifically, the period of time until the fuel that has mixed in with the engine oil has sufficiently vaporised and the oil has recovered from being diluted) when the count value reaches a maximum duration (i.e., the duration of the post injection at which the amount of fuel diluting the oil reaches the allowable limit) (hereinafter, this process may also be referred to as "regeneration prohibiting control").
  • the combustion mode may switch from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode even if there is a filter regeneration command. That is, even if there is a filter regeneration command, the combustion mode will switch from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode when a PM combustion condition ceases to be satisfied due to the catalyst temperature not being high enough, for example.
  • the timer/counter is reset when the combustion mode switches to the normal combustion mode and the count value of the filter regeneration duration that has been counted thus far is canceled.
  • the invention therefore provides technology that makes it possible to accurately count the duration of the filter regeneration that affects the dilution of oil by fuel in an exhaust gas control apparatus which executes control to count that filter regeneration duration using a counter, and prohibit filter regeneration based on the count value of that filter regeneration duration.
  • One aspect of the invention relates to an exhaust gas control apparatus that is provided with a filter that is arranged in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and traps particulate matter in exhaust gas, filter regeneration controlling means for performing filter regeneration that removes particulate matter that has accumulated on the filter by performing a regeneration fuel injection after a main fuel injection by controlling the injection timing of the internal combustion engine, and a counter that counts the duration of the filter regeneration.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means determines that a period of time from after there is a command to regenerate the filter and the filter regeneration starts until the filter regeneration has been completed, and which is a period of time during which the filter regeneration is not prohibited, is a period of time during which the filter is in a filter regeneration incomplete state.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means increases the count of the counter when the filter regeneration is being executed while the filter is in the filter regeneration incomplete state.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means has the counter maintain the current duration count value when the internal combustion engine switches to a state other than a filter regenerating state while the filter is in the filter regeneration incomplete state.
  • the current count value of the filter duration is maintained even if the PM combustion condition ceases to be satisfied due to the catalyst temperature not being high enough, for example, and the combustion mode temporarily switches from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode.
  • the relationship between the actual amount of fuel diluting the oil and the filter regeneration duration i.e., the duration of the post injection
  • the count value of the filter regeneration duration has reached the maximum duration, thus enabling oil dilution to be reliably suppressed.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means may reset the counter when the filter is not in the filter regeneration incomplete state.
  • the filter regeneration duration is able to be accurately counted, such that oil dilution can be reliably suppressed.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means may establish a filter regeneration prohibited period when the count of the counter reaches a predetermined duration.
  • the filter regeneration controlling means may reset the counter during the filter regeneration prohibited period.
  • the filter regeneration prohibited period may be established as a period of time until the fuel that is mixed in with oil that lubricates the internal combustion engine sufficiently vaporises.
  • the state other than the filter regenerating state may be a state of the internal combustion engine in which the regeneration fuel injection is not performed after the main fuel injection.
  • a diesel engine 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as "engine 1") according to this example embodiment is a common rail in-cylinder direct injection four cylinder engine, for example, in which an injector (i.e., a fuel injection valve) 2 is arranged in a combustion chamber 1a of each cylinder of the engine 1, and injects fuel for combustion in the combustion chamber 1a.

  • the common rail 11 functions as an accumulator that maintains (accumulates) the pressurised fuel supplied from the supply pump 10 at a predetermined pressure, and distributes this accumulated fuel to the injectors 2.
  • Each injector 2 is an electromagnetically driven on-off valve that opens to inject (i.e., supply) fuel into the combustion chamber 1a when a predetermined voltage is applied.
  • the opening and closing (i.e., the fuel injection quantity and the fuel injection timing) of the injectors 2 is duty-controlled by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 100.

  • the engine 1 is also provided with an EGR system 7.
  • This EGR system 7 is a system that circulates some of the exhaust gas that flows through the exhaust passage 4 to the intake passage 3 and lowers the combustion temperature by supplying that recirculated exhaust gas into the combustion chambers 1a of the cylinders, thereby reducing the amount of NOx that is generated.

  • Control of the exhaust gas control apparatus of the invention may also be realised by a programme executed by the ECU 100 described above.
  • the ECU 100 estimates the amount of accumulated PM by the two processes (1) and (2) below.
  • an estimated amount of accumulated PM (also simply referred to as the "estimated PM accumulated amount”) PMs is calculated using the amount of generated PM (also simply referred to as the "PM generated amount”) pme and the amount of combusted PM (also simply referred to as the "PM combusted amount) pmc.
  • the PM generated amount pme is the amount of PM that is discharged from all of the combustion chambers of the engine per unit of time (for example, during one control cycle of the estimating process). This PM generated amount pme is obtained referencing the map in FIG. 3 based on the engine speed NE obtained from the output signal from the engine speed sensor 31, and the fuel injection quantity Qv (a command value).

  • the estimated PM accumulated amount PMs and the estimated PM accumulated amount PMd increase over time.
  • the ECU 100 determines whether the increasing estimated PM accumulated amount PMs has increased to a value at which a determination is made to start regeneration (also simply referred to as a "start-regeneration determining value"; this value corresponds to a limit PM accumulated amount) Thpmss, or the increasing estimated PM accumulated amount PMd has increased to a value at which a determination is made to start regeneration (also simply referred to as a "start-regeneration determining value”; this value corresponds to a limit PM accumulated amount) Thpmds (see FIG. 5 ).
  • the ECU 100 determines that it is time to start regenerating the DPF 22 when the estimated PM accumulated amount PMs reaches the start-regeneration determining value Thpmss or the estimated PM accumulated amount PMd reaches the stait-regeneration determining value Thpmds.
  • both of the estimated PM accumulated amounts PMs and PMd are initialised (set to "0") when the estimated PM accumulated amount PMs reaches the start-regeneration determining value Thpmss or the estimated PM accumulated amount PMd reaches the start-regeneration determining value Thpmds.

  • an oxidation reaction takes place in the exhaust gas and on the catalyst with the components such as HC and CO and the like.
  • This oxidation reaction generates heat which increases the temperature of the CCO 21 (i.e., the exhaust gas), which in turn causes the temperature of the DPF 22 to increase. Then after performing this kind of CCO temperature-increasing fuel injection, a DPF regeneration fuel injection is executed at a predetermined timing, which bums off the PM that has accumulated on the DPF 22, thereby reducing the amount of PM accumulated on the DPF 22.
  • the CCO 21 i.e., the exhaust gas
  • this estimated PM accumulated amount PMs has decreased to a value at which it is determined that regeneration is to end (also referred to as an "end-regeneration determining value") thpmse (see FIG. 5 )

  • the initial value [PMs (last value)] of the estimated PM accumulated amount PMs during filter regeneration is a value that corresponds to the start-regeneration determining value Thpmss.
  • filter regeneration is executed by the post injection, so oil dilution (i.e., fuel mixed into the engine oil) progresses with the injection of fuel from that post injection. Therefore, a limit is placed on the maximum duration of the filter regeneration. Once this maximum duration is reached, filter regeneration is prohibited (i.e., filter regeneration prohibited) until the fuel mixed into the oil sufficiently vaporises, even if there is still a command for filter regeneration.
  • oil dilution i.e., fuel mixed into the engine oil
  • filter regeneration is prohibited (i.e., filter regeneration prohibited) until the fuel mixed into the oil sufficiently vaporises, even if there is still a command for filter regeneration.
  • the ECU 100 counts the duration of filter regeneration using the timer/counter 110 while the filter is being regenerated (i.e., in a specific combustion mode that affects the oil dilution), and prohibits filter regeneration for a fixed period of time when a count value T i of that filter regeneration duration reaches the maximum duration (i.e., the duration of the post injection at which the amount of fuel diluting the oil reaches the allowable limit).
  • the period for which filter regeneration is prohibited is established by obtaining, through testing and calculation or the like, the period of time during which the fuel that is mixed in with the engine oil sufficiently vaporises (i.e., the time that it takes to recover from the oil dilution well enough for filter regeneration to be able to be executed), and setting a compatible value based on the results.
  • the ECU 100 will switch the combustion mode of the engine 1 from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode when the PM combustion condition ceases to be satisfied. More specifically, when the engine has been idling or the vehicle has been running at a low speed for an extended period of time, for example, the CCO 21 does not heat up so even if a post injection is executed, the filter temperature will not increase sufficiently, making it difficult to combust PM. In this case, it is determined that the PM combustion condition is not satisfied, so the ECU 100 switches the combustion mode from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode.
  • the timer/counter 110 is not reset if the filter is in a filter regeneration incomplete state, which will be described later. Instead, the count value of the timer/counter 110 is maintained at the current value. This will be described later.

If the determination is yes, the ECU 100 determines that the current PM accumulation state of the DPF 22 is a filter regeneration complete state (step ST102). If the determination in step ST101 is no (i.e., filter regeneration not complete), the process proceeds on to step ST103.
  • step ST103 the ECU 100 determines whether there is no filter regeneration command and the combustion mode is the normal combustion mode. If the determination is yes, the process proceeds on to step ST108. If the determination in step ST103 is no, (i.e., if there is a filter regeneration command and the combustion mode is not the normal combustion mode), the process proceeds on to step ST104.
  • step ST104 the ECU 100 determines whether the current state is a filter regeneration prohibited state. If this determination is no, the ECU 100 determines that the current state is a filter regeneration incomplete state (step ST105). If the determination in step ST104 is yes (i.e., if the current state is the filter regeneration prohibited state), the process proceeds on to step ST108.
  • filter regeneration starts in response to that regeneration command.
  • the filter regeneration incomplete state turns on.
  • This filter regeneration incomplete state continues as long as the filter regeneration prohibited state does not turn on.
  • the filter regeneration incomplete state will continue without turning off even if the PM combustion condition ceases to be satisfied and the combustion mode of the engine 1 switches from the regeneration combustion mode to the normal combustion mode (during the period between t3 and t4).

Therefore, the relationship between the actual amount of fuel diluting the oil and the count value T i of the filter regeneration duration (i.e., the duration of the post injection) will not become skewed. As a result, the ECU 100 can correctly determine that the count value T i of the filter regeneration duration has reached the maximum duration, so oil dilution can be reliably suppressed.
