Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the deterioration of the ingredients of exhaust gas and drivability by detecting change in the totally closed position of an EGR valve accompanying change in time, and judging the EGR valve to be abnormal when the quantity of change becomes above a defined value. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 5 determines an EGR quantity suited to an operating condition based on the detected values of an EGR valve position detector 3, an engine speed detector 6, a water temp. sensor 7, a load switch 8, etc., and controls the opening of an EGR valve 2 via an EGR valve driving circuit 4. The control circuit 5 compares the position at the totally closed time of the EGR valve position detector 3 with a defined value and, when the difference becomes above a defined value, the EGR valve 2 is judged abnormal.

By the way, the EGR control device in this building determines the EGR amount by detecting the degree of opening and closing of the EGR valve, so it is difficult to determine whether there is any abnormality in the degree of opening or closing of the EGR valve, that is, the flow rate of exhaust gas passing through the EGR valve. This is important because the amount of exhaust gas recirculation affects the toxic components (NOx) in the exhaust gas and drivability.

Conventionally, the determination as to whether an abnormality has occurred in the opening/closing degree of the 'FJGR valve is determined by determining whether the fully closed position of the EGR nozzle is greater than or equal to a predetermined value or less than a predetermined value, that is, when the EGR nozzle is in the fully closed position. It was detected that the gas flow rate was extremely high or had an impossible value.

Conventional EGR valve control devices do not allow EGR valve control because the fully closed position of the EGR valve is greater than or equal to a predetermined value or less than a predetermined value.
Since this is a method to detect whether there is an abnormality in the R/T lube,
There is a problem in that if the fully closed position gradually changes to the EGR gas reduction side due to factors such as accumulation of carbon components in the exhaust gas, it cannot be determined that there is an abnormality.
