Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to exhaust gas cleaning systems for engineering vehicles.
  • the invention relates to an exhaust gas cleaning system for an engineering vehicle, which allows a filter to capture particulate matter contained in exhaust gas to clean the exhaust gas and that burns and removes the particulate matter captured by the filter for cleaning the filter.
  • An engineering vehicle such as hydraulic excavator or the like has a diesel engine as its drive source mounted thereon.
  • Regulations on the discharge amount of particulate matter (hereinafter, called PM) discharged from the diesel engine have yearly been tightened along with that of NOx, CO, HC, etc.
  • an exhaust gas cleaning system has been known that allows a filter called a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to capture PM to reduce the amount of the PM to be discharged to the outside.
  • DPF diesel particulate filter
  • the filter will be increasingly clogged. This increases the exhaust pressure of the engine to induce degradation in fuel consumption.
  • the PM captured by the filter is appropriately burned to remove the clogging of the filter, thereby regenerating the filter.
  • the filter is normally regenerated by use of an oxidation catalyst.
  • the oxidation catalyst is disposed on the upstream side of the filter or directly carried on the filter. Alternatively, the oxidation catalyst is disposed on the upstream side of the filter and is directly carried on the filter.
  • the temperature of the exhaust gas has to be higher than the activating temperature of the oxidation catalyst.
  • forced regeneration in which the exhaust gas temperature is increased to a set temperature (a threshold value) that is higher than the activating temperature of the oxidation catalyst and is suitable for regeneration.
  • the forced regeneration includes a technique for increasing the temperature of exhaust gas by performing sub-injection (after-injection) in which fuel is injected in an expansion stroke after direct main injection into an engine, and a technique for increasing the temperature of exhaust gas by allowing a regeneration fuel injector installed in an exhaust pipe to inject fuel into the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust pipe.
  • the forced regeneration of the filter includes manual regeneration in which the regeneration is started by the operator's input and automatic regeneration in which the regeneration is automatically started.
  • the manual regeneration is performed as below.
  • An amount of PM deposited on a filter (a deposition amount) is first estimated.
  • a warning is given to an operator to perform the manual regeneration.
  • the operator operates a manual regeneration switch, and the regeneration is started.
  • WO 2009/60719 discloses a technology relating to manual regeneration.
  • JP-2009-79500-A discloses a technology relating to automatic regeneration.
  • the manual regeneration and automatic regeneration are such that the PM deposition amount is generally obtained by detecting an anteroposterior differential pressure on a filter and carrying out an operation based on the detected value of such differential pressure.
  • JP-7-166840-A proposes an exhaust gas cleaning system attached with temperature-rising assistance means.
  • This exhaust gas cleaning system includes a device for detecting the neutral position of a control lever.
  • a neutral detecting device detects the neutral position
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system starts temperature-rising assistance.
  • the neutral detecting device detects an operation position switched from the neutral position
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system stops the temperature-rising assistance position.
  • the temperature-rising assistance means adjusts the discharge pressure and discharge amount of a hydraulic pump to increase pump output and increases engine output, thereby increasing exhaust gas temperature.
  • the temperature-rising assistance is done unnecessarily, it is likely to cause melting of the filter due to the abnormal increase in the exhaust gas temperature. Further, the unnecessary temperature-rising assistance is not preferable in view of energy saving.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system in the related art stops the temperature-rising assistance on the basis of the operating position of the control lever. Therefore, there is a problem (second) as below.
  • the discharge pressure of the pump is regulated by the switching control of a pressure control valve.
  • the discharge amount of the pump is regulated by the tilting control of a regulator.
  • a response time until the pressure control valve and the regulator are operated after a control command was received occurs.
  • the control command may be issued so that the pump discharge pressure P 2 becomes the pump discharge pressure P 1 and the pump discharge amount Q 2 becomes the pump discharge amount Q 1 . In such a case, they do not become P 1 and Q 1 immediately but the discharge pressure higher than P 1 and the discharge amount greater than Q 1 are kept for a given length of time.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system in the related art has the problem (1) relating to the unnecessary temperature-rising assistance and the problem (2) relating to the deterioration in operability in resuming work.
  • an exhaust gas cleaning system for an engineering vehicle including a diesel engine, a driven body driven by power of the engine, operating means for commanding the driven body to operate, and operation stopping means for stopping the operation of the driven body.
  • the system includes: a filter device disposed in an exhaust system of the engine and including a filter for capturing particulate matter contained in exhaust gas; a regeneration device adapted to increase temperature of the exhaust gas to burn and remove particulate matter deposited on the filter; a regeneration control device adapted to control the start and stop of operation of the regeneration device; and temperature-rising assistance means for assisting temperature-rising of the regeneration device.
  • the regeneration control device starts the operation of the temperature-rising assistance means when the operation stopping means is operated to stop the operation of the driven body during the operation of the generation device.
  • the operation stopping means When the operation stopping means is operated so as to stop the operation of the driven body, a period of time during which engine output lowers is long. If the engine output lowers so that also the exhaust gas temperature gradually lowers, there is a high possibility that the exhaust gas becomes lower than a threshold value (a set temperature suitable for regeneration). In other words, unnecessary temperature-rising assistance can be avoided by starting the temperature-rising assistance only as necessary.
  • a threshold value a set temperature suitable for regeneration
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system further includes an exhaust temperature detecting device adapted to detect temperature of the exhaust gas.
  • the regeneration control device starts the operation of the temperature-rising assistance means when the operation stopping means is operated to stop the operation of the driven body and the exhaust temperature detecting device detects temperature lower than a threshold value during the operation of the regeneration device.
  • the temperature-rising assistance is started only when the exhaust gas temperature is lower than the threshold value. Therefore, the unnecessary temperature-rising assistance can further be avoided.
  • the regeneration control device stops the operation of the temperature-rising assistance means when the operation stopping means is operated to release the stop of the operation of the driven body.
  • a certain amount of time occurs until the operating means is operated to drive the driven body to resume the work after the operation stopping means was operated to release the stop of the operation of the driven body to enable the operation thereof.
  • Such an amount of time is longer than a response time until the operation of the assistance means is stopped after the command of stopping the temperature-rising assistance was issued.
  • the operation of the assistance means is surely stopped. In this way, deterioration in operability in resuming the work can be prevented.
  • the engineering vehicle includes a hydraulic pump driven by the engine, and the temperature-rising means regulates at least one of the discharge pressure and discharge amount of the hydraulic pump and applies a hydraulic load to the engine.
  • the engineering vehicle includes an engine control device adapted to control the engine, and the temperature-rising assistance means commands the engine control device to bring the rotation number of the engine to a predetermined rotation number higher than an idle rotation number.
  • the engine output increases and the temperature-rising assistance means can assist the temperature-rising of exhaust gas during the regeneration.
  • the operation stopping means is a gate lock lever selectively operated between a first position where the operation of the driven body is enabled and a second position where the operation of the driven body is disabled.
  • the operation stopping means is a parking brake operated to brake travel motion during parking of the engineering vehicle.
  • the operation stopping means is a shift lever switched among a forward movement position, a neutral position and a rearward movement position.
  • the operation of the driven body e.g. a front work device or a traveling system
  • the operation stopping means such as the gate lock lever, the parking lever, the shift lever, etc.
  • the present invention can avoid the unnecessary temperature-rising assistance and prevent the degradation in operability in resuming the work.

  • step S 20 a determination is made as to whether or not the shift lever 63 is operated to be at the neutral position N on the basis of the detected signal of the shift lever operating position detecting device 67 (step S 20 ).
  • the temperature-rising assistance is started in step S 40 .
  • condition 1 condition 2 (the shift lever 63 being at the neutral position) and condition 3 is determined as negative
  • the temperature-rising assistance is stopped in step S 60 .
  • the embodiment configured as described above can produce the same effects as the effects (a), (b) and (c) of the first embodiment.
  • the exhaust gas cleaning system according to the present embodiment starts the temperature-rising assistance on the basis of the braking position of the parking brake 62 or the neutral position N of the shift lever 63 .
  • the operator intends to allow the wheel loader not to travel.
  • the period of time during which the engine output lowers becomes long.
  • exhaust gas temperature gradually lowers and is likely to become lower the threshold value. That is to say, the exhaust gas cleaning system according to the present embodiment starts the temperature-rising assistance only when necessary. Thus, unnecessary temperature-rising assistance can be avoided.
  • the exhaust gas purifying system commands the stop of the temperature-rising assistance on the basis of the braking-releasing position of the parking brake 62 or the forward movement position F or rearward movement position R of the shift lever 63 .
  • An interval of time until the resuming of the travel by the accelerator pedal 61 after the command of stopping the temperature-rising assistance by the parking brake 62 or by the shift lever 63 is longer than the response time of the control valve 30 or of the regulator of the pump 11 .
  • the engine output is returned to the engine output PS 1 (the pump discharge pressure P 1 and the pump discharge amount Q 1 ).
  • the degradation in operability in resuming the traveling can be prevented.
