Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively utilize remaining fuel while preventing the remaining fuel from leaking from a fuel injection valve after the operation of an engine is stopped and dispersing toward an intake system and an atmosphere. SOLUTION: A fuel delivery preventing device for gaseous fuel engine comprises a bypass passage 18 which is branched from between a fuel cutout valve 5 and a fuel injection valve 1 and is communicated with an upstream side of a catalyst part 14 arranged in an exhaust system, an accumulating tank 9 for reserving gaseous fuel in a delivery pipe 2, a fuel pipe 3, and the bypass passage 18 after the fuel cutout valve 5 is closed, a feed means for feeding gaseous fuel reserved in the accumulating tank 9 to an upstream side of the catalyst part 14 when the engine is started, and an ignition plug for igniting gaseous fuel supplied to the upstream side of the catalyst 14. Fuel is not remained since remaining fuel in the pipes 2, 3 and the passage 18 is positively collected by the accumulating tank 9. After the fuel cutout valve 5 is closed, gaseous fuel reserved in the accumulating tank 9 is supplied to the upstream side of the catalyst part 14 when the engine is started, and ignition operation is carried out.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a fuel discharge prevention device provided in a gaseous fuel engine, gaseous fuel is branched from a fuel pipe connecting a fuel cutoff valve and a fuel injection valve to an upstream side of a catalyst portion or inside the catalyst portion. 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a fuel discharge prevention device in which a bypass passage is provided, a fuel valve that opens after the engine is stopped is provided in the bypass passage, and the remaining fuel is burned and purified using a high-temperature catalyst immediately after the engine is stopped. . By introducing the remaining fuel to the upstream side of the active catalyst section when the engine is stopped, the remaining fuel is burned and purified, and the unburned remaining fuel can be prevented from being released to the intake system and the atmosphere. An example of this type of fuel emission prevention device is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-135510. The fuel discharge prevention device disclosed in the publication can prevent the residual fuel downstream of the fuel cutoff valve from leaking from the fuel injection valve and dissipating to the intake system and the atmosphere.
Further, there is no need to run the engine for a while when the engine is stopped in order to remove the remaining fuel from the fuel pipe and the inside of the bypass passage. Therefore, the driver does not feel uncomfortable or uneasy, and the handling and operability of the engine are improved.

When the driver turns on the ignition switch to start the gaseous fuel engine 16 and the water temperature is low, the catalyst unit 14 needs to be warmed up. Therefore, the gaseous fuel collected in the pressure accumulating tank 9 after the stoppage of the gaseous fuel engine 16 is used for warming up the catalyst unit 14. In this case, in response to a command from the ECU 19, the fuel valve 12 and the reed valve 8 on the downstream side of the accumulator are first opened. As a result, the stored gaseous fuel flows out of the pressure storage tank 9, mixes with the fresh air flowing in through the filter 7, and flows into the catalyst section inlet through the flashback prevention device 10 and the nozzle 13. Subsequently, the ignition plug 17 ignites and burns the gaseous fuel flowing into the catalyst section inlet. As a result, the temperature of the catalyst unit 14 increases, and the catalyst unit 14 is warmed up early. Catalyst part 1
The gaseous fuel used for warming up in No. 4 is purified by the catalyst unit 14 and discharged into the atmosphere. Subsequently, after a lapse of a predetermined time, the fuel valve 12 and the reed valve 8 on the downstream side of the accumulation tank are closed. This predetermined time is set as a time sufficient for the residual fuel in the accumulator tank 9 to completely flow out.
