- the NOx storage reduction catalyst used as an exhaust purification means of a lean combustion type internal combustion engine has a reduced catalyst function due to the accumulation of sulfur oxides contained in the exhaust gas. For this reason, when using NOx storage reduction catalysts, it is necessary to periodically perform a regeneration process called S regeneration to decompose and remove sulfur oxides deposited on the catalyst to restore the catalyst function. There is.
- S regeneration the catalyst temperature is raised to a target temperature (for example, 600 ° C or higher) higher than the temperature range in the normal operating state, and the air-fuel ratio in the vicinity of the catalyst is maintained in the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or rich region. Is implemented.
- Patent Document 1 JP-A-2005-337039
- the present invention suppresses overheating of the exhaust purification means such as the NOx storage reduction catalyst and also adds the fuel to the exhaust purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine that can quickly execute the fuel addition to the exhaust purification means. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control method and an exhaust purification device suitable for carrying out the method.
- the fuel addition control method of the present invention includes an exhaust gas purification unit that purifies exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine, and a fuel addition unit that adds fuel upstream of the exhaust gas purification unit. And a cycle combining an addition period in which fuel is added from the fuel addition unit and a pause period in which the fuel addition is stopped is repeated to control the exhaust purification unit to a target temperature, and in each cycle, A fuel addition control method for operating the fuel addition means so that the suspension period is detrimentalized across the addition period, wherein the suspension period before addition is a suspension period provided before the addition period.
- the above-described problem is solved by operating the fuel addition means so that the length of the fuel is changed according to the temperature of the exhaust purification means at the start point of the cycle.
- the pre-addition stop period is provided before the addition period. Therefore, by reducing the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means during the pre-addition stop period, An excessive increase in the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means can be suppressed.
- the temperature range of the exhaust gas purification unit that should be reduced during the pre-addition pause period so as to prevent overheating of the exhaust gas purification unit during the addition period varies depending on the temperature of the exhaust gas purification unit at the start of the cycle.
- the length of the pre-addition stop period is changed according to the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means at the start of the cycle. Suitable for preventing overheating of exhaust purification means It is possible to set a rest period before addition of a long length. As a result, it is possible to prevent a pre-addition stop period having a useless length, so that fuel addition can be performed quickly.
- the fuel is controlled so that the length of the suspension period before addition becomes shorter as the temperature of the exhaust purification means at the start point of the cycle is lower.
- the adding means may be operated. The longer the suspension period before addition, the lower the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means during the suspension period before addition, but if the temperature of the exhaust gas purification device is already low, there is no need to provide a long suspension period before addition. It is possible to prevent overheating of the exhaust gas purification means during the addition period. Therefore, the lower the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means at the start point of the cycle, the shorter the pre-addition pause period and the faster the fuel addition.
- An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine of the present invention includes an occlusion reduction type NOx catalyst provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine, and a fuel-added calorie means for adding fuel from upstream of the occlusion reduction type NOx catalyst, In order to control the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst to the target temperature, a cycle in which an addition period for adding fuel from the fuel-added calorie means and a pause period for stopping the fuel addition are repeated, and the pause period in each cycle And an addition control means for operating the fuel addition means so as to be divided across the addition period, the addition control means for controlling the NOx storage reduction catalyst to the target temperature.
- a temperature required addition amount calculating means for calculating a required fuel addition amount, and a fuel addition amount required for maintaining the air-fuel ratio in the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the target air-fuel ratio for a predetermined period.
- Predicted addition amount Calculating the length of the cycle based on the addition amounts calculated by the output means, the temperature request addition amount calculation means, and the predicted addition amount calculation means, and calculating the predetermined period from the obtained cycle length.
- a period calculation means for calculating the length of the suspension period in the cycle by subtracting the addition period; a length of the suspension period calculated by the period calculation means; and a temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the start point of the cycle; Based on the above, the pre-addition pause period calculating means for calculating the length of the pre-addition pause period, which is a pause period provided before the addition period, and the addition of the length calculated by the pre-addition pause period calculation means And an addition timing control means for controlling whether or not fuel can be added from the fuel addition means so that a pre-pause period is provided before the addition period. Resolve.
- the length of the suspension period before addition is set based on the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the start point of the cycle. Similar to the fuel addition control method, it is possible to set a pre-addition stop period of an appropriate length that can prevent overheating of the NOx storage reduction catalyst during the addition period. As a result, it is possible to prevent the pre-addition pause period from being set unnecessarily long, so that fuel addition to the NOx storage reduction catalyst can be performed quickly.
- the pre-addition stop period is provided before the addition period, the temperature of the exhaust purification means can be lowered during the pre-addition stop period, and an excessive increase in the temperature of the exhaust purification means during the addition period can be suppressed.
- the pre-addition pause period calculation means calculates the length of the pre-addition pause period as the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the start point of the cycle decreases. You may calculate shortly. In this embodiment, as the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the beginning of the cycle is lower, the length of the suspension period before addition is shortened. Therefore, as in the above-described embodiment of the fuel addition control method of the present invention, The fuel can be quickly added to the NOx storage reduction catalyst while suppressing the overheating of the NOx storage reduction catalyst.
- the pre-addition pause period calculating means corrects so that the pre-addition pause period becomes shorter as the NOx storage reduction catalyst deteriorates. It has a degree correction means!
- the reaction rate at the catalyst decreases, so even if the same amount of fuel is added as before deterioration, the temperature of the catalyst is difficult to rise. For this reason, when the NOx storage reduction catalyst deteriorates, the catalyst temperature does not easily rise during the addition period, so overheating of the NOx storage reduction catalyst during the addition period can be suppressed even if the pre-addition pause period is shortened.
- the length of the suspension period before addition is corrected to be shorter as the NOx storage reduction catalyst deteriorates.
- the length of the pre-addition suspension period can be further shortened, and fuel addition to the NOx storage reduction catalyst can be performed more quickly.
- the pre-addition pause period calculating means includes the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the start of the cycle and the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine at the start of the cycle.
- the length of the pre-addition rest period based on the temperature difference with the gas temperature May be calculated.
- the pre-addition pause period calculating means corrects the length of the pre-addition pause period so that the pre-addition pause period becomes longer as the addition period is longer.
- amendment means to perform may be provided. The longer the addition period, the greater the increase in the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst during that addition period. It is necessary to reduce the temperature of the reduced NOx catalyst. Therefore, the longer the addition period, the longer the pre-addition pause period is corrected. As a result, overheating of the NOx storage reduction catalyst during the addition period can be more reliably suppressed.
- the addition timing control means when the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst during the suspension period before the addition is below a predetermined lower limit temperature
- fuel may be added from the fuel addition means to start the addition period from the time when the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined lower limit temperature.
- fuel addition is performed, so the fuel to the NOx storage reduction catalyst is supplied. The addition can be performed more quickly.
- this fuel-added calorie is performed when the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst falls below a predetermined lower limit temperature.
- the addition control means has a time from the start point of the cycle to the time when the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means falls below the predetermined lower limit temperature during the pre-addition pause period.
- addition period length correction means for correcting the length of the addition period based on the ratio of the pre-addition pause period calculated by the pre-addition pause period calculation means.
- the addition time control means during the suspension period before addition, when the length of the addition period after being corrected by the addition period length correction means is equal to or less than a predetermined lower limit set in advance Even if the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst falls below the predetermined lower limit temperature, the addition of fuel from the fuel addition means may be prohibited and the suspension period before addition may be continued. If the addition period is too short, the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst may not be stably controlled to the target temperature even if fuel addition is performed. In this case, fuel addition is wasted.
- the pre-addition pause period is continued even if the temperature of the exhaust gas purification means becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined lower limit temperature. In this way, by continuing the suspension period before addition, the length of the addition period is made longer than a predetermined lower limit value, thereby preventing unnecessary addition of fuel.
- the addition control means is configured to start fuel addition when the temperature of the exhaust purification means falls below a predetermined lower limit temperature set in advance during the suspension period before addition!
- the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst is controlled to a target temperature, and the addition timing control means includes the NOx storage reduction catalyst.
- the NOx storage reduction catalyst has a temperature distribution inside it. Even if the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst decreases in the upstream part, the heat capacity of the catalyst itself causes a part other than the upstream part in comparison with the upstream part. Temperature is unlikely to drop. Therefore, it is necessary to perform an S regeneration process upstream of the NOx storage reduction catalyst as a starting condition for fuel addition during the suspension period before addition, and the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst falls below the specified lower limit temperature. By limiting the number of cases, it is possible to prevent an unnecessarily long addition period from being provided after the S regeneration process in the upstream portion of the catalyst is completed.
- the temperature in the part other than the upstream part of the catalyst is quickly adjusted to a temperature suitable for the S regeneration process.
- the S regeneration process can be executed promptly.

- line L2 in Fig. 2 shows fuel addition from fuel addition valve 10. The changes in the catalyst bed temperature when controlled by the addition pulse P2 are shown.
- a cycle T in which a plurality of pulses are continuously added to add fuel is repeated several times!

Some of these values vary depending on the operating condition of engine 1. Therefore, the addition amount calculated in step S3 also changes sequentially reflecting the operating state during routine execution. By executing this step S3, the ECU 20 functions as the temperature required addition amount calculating means of the present invention.
- step S4 the ECU 20 obtains the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsum (mm 3 ).
- Accumulated temperature requirement addition amount Qtsum is a value obtained by integrating the temperature requirement addition amount Qt from the start point to the end point of one cycle of fuel addition control, and gradually increases from the cycle start point P 1 as shown in Fig. 6. To do. If the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsum at the end point P3 of one cycle matches the actual fuel addition amount Qrich added in that cycle, only the amount necessary to control the catalyst 8 to the target temperature in that cycle Fuel was added without excess or deficiency.
- the ECU 20 means that the first lean end flag for determining whether or not the first lean period in FIG. 6 has ended is OFF, that is, the first lean period has not ended. Whether or not it is in a state is determined.
- the first lean period is a force equivalent to the suspension period before addition in FIG. 2. If the fuel addition from the fuel addition valve 10 is not performed, the air-fuel ratio in the vicinity of the catalyst 8 is controlled to be lean. This is called the lean period.
- step S6 the ECU 20 calculates the predicted addition amount Q richp (mm 3 ).
- the predicted addition amount Qrichp is given by:
- the amount of fresh air is the amount of air (mm 3 ) sucked into the intake passage 3 from the outside
- the target air-fuel ratio is the target value of the air-fuel ratio during S regeneration near the catalyst 8
- the in-cylinder injection amount is This is the amount of fuel (mm 3 ) injected from the injector 30 into the cylinder 2.
- the rich time is a fuel addition time (sec.) Within one cycle that is uniquely determined from the load on the engine 1 at that time, the temperature rise capability of the catalyst 8, and the requirement for S release. In other words, the rich time is determined from the viewpoint of how many seconds the fuel should be added in one cycle, and corresponds to the time length of the addition period in FIG.
- the predicted addition amount Qrichp means the amount of fuel addition necessary to maintain the air-fuel ratio in the vicinity of catalyst 8 at the target air-fuel ratio for the rich time.
- step S6 of Fig. 4 After obtaining the predicted addition amount Qrichp in step S6 of Fig. 4, the process proceeds to step S7, and the predicted addition internal Tint (sec.) Is calculated by the following equation.
- Tint Qrichp / Qt
- the ECU 20 calculates a first lean period ratio Rpreln.
- the ratio of the first lean period Rpreln is a value indicating the ratio of the time length that should be allocated to the first lean period, that is, the suspension period before addition, out of the total length of the suspension period in one cycle.
- the ECU 20 calculates the first lean period ratio Rpreln with reference to a map showing the relationship between the catalyst bed temperature at the start point of the cycle T and the first lean period ratio Rpreln as shown in FIG. 7 as an example. .
- the length of the pre-addition pause period is set shorter as the catalyst bed temperature at the start of the cycle T is lower.
- the routine proceeds to step S9, where the ECU 20 calculates the time length Tlean sec.) Of the first lean period by the following equation.
- a first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl (mm 3 ) obtained by converting the time length Tleanl of the first lean period into a fuel addition amount is calculated by the following equation.
- step SI1 the accumulated temperature required addition amount Qtsum obtained in step S4 is Judge whether the first lean equivalent amount Qleanl has been reached. That is, the fuel addition is stopped until the accumulated temperature requirement addition amount Qtsum intersects the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl in FIG. 6, and the first lean period ends at the point of intersection (point P2 in FIG. 6). .
- This determination is made in step S11 in FIG.
- the reason for judging after converting the length of time Tleanl to the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl is that the temperature is determined not by the time but by the applied energy.
- step S11 If the condition of step S11 is negative, the ECU 20 still determines that it is the first lean period and ends the current routine. On the other hand, if the condition of step S11 is affirmed, it is determined that the first lean period has ended, the process proceeds to step S12, and the ECU 20 switches the first lean end flag ON. In the following step S13, the ECU 20 switches on the fuel addition permission flag, and then ends the current routine.
- the ECU 20 repeatedly executes the fuel addition execution routine of FIG. 5 at an appropriate cycle in parallel with the routine of FIG.
- the routine of FIG. 5 it is determined whether or not the fuel addition valve 10 is adding fuel in step S100, and if it is not adding fuel, it is monitored whether or not the fuel addition permission flag is turned on in step S101.
- step S101 in FIG. 5 is affirmed, and the ECU 20 causes the fuel addition valve 10 to start fuel addition in step S102 in FIG. This realizes fuel addition during the fuel addition period. If a negative determination is made in step S101, the routine of FIG. 5 is terminated.
- step S103 the rich time determined by that cycle (e.g., the value used in the calculation of step S9 in FIG. 4 is equal). It is determined whether or not fuel has been added. If it is added! /, The process proceeds to step S104, the fuel addition by the fuel addition valve 10 is terminated, and the routine of FIG. On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in step S103, the routine of FIG.
- step S5 the condition of step S5 is denied in the routine of FIG.
- the ECU 20 proceeds to the process of step S14 in FIG.
- step S14 the fuel addition amount after the fuel addition permission flag is turned on is acquired as the actual addition amount Qr ich (mm 3 ).
- step S15 the ECU 20 determines that the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsum is equal to or greater than the actual addition amount Qrich and the fuel addition from the fuel addition valve 10 is completed Determine whether or not. That is, it is determined whether or not the end point P3 of the second lean period in FIG. While the negative determination is made in step S15, it is determined that the cycle has not ended, and this routine is finished.
- step S15 the process proceeds to step S16, and the ECU 20 resets the accumulated temperature required addition amount Qtsum and the actual addition amount Qrich to the initial value 0.
- step S17 the ECU 20 switches off the first lean end flag, and thereafter ends the routine of FIG.
- the ECU 20 functions as a temperature required addition amount calculation means by step S3, the ECU 20 functions as a predicted addition amount calculation means by step S6, and the engine 20 functions as a ECU 20 period calculation means by step S7.
- the ECU 20 functions as an addition timing control means by a combination of steps S5, S10 to S13, and S15 to S17.
- the ECU 20 functions as a pre-addition pause period calculation means.
- the lower the catalyst temperature at the start point P1 of the cycle the shorter the time length of the first lean period is set, thereby preventing overheating of the catalyst 8 during the addition period.
- the fuel can be quickly added to the catalyst 8. Since the operating state of the catalyst 8 suitable for S regeneration is limited, the engine 1 operating state is suitable for S regeneration when the operating state of the engine 1 is easily changed. However, there is a risk of changing to an operating state that is not suitable for S regeneration in a short time.
- the length of the rest period before addition, that is, the first lean period is fixed to half of the entire rest period of one cycle, so the first lean period depends on the temperature of catalyst 8.
- the length of time may be set unnecessarily long. As a result, during the first lean period, the operating state of engine 1 may deviate from the operating state suitable for S regeneration, and the opportunity for S regeneration may be missed. As is clear from the comparison between the line L2 in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in the fuel addition control of the present invention, the time length of the first lean period is changed according to the temperature of the catalyst 8.
- the first lean period can be set with an appropriate time length that can prevent overheating. Depending on the catalyst bed temperature, the first lean period can be shortened. For this reason, when the operating state of the engine 1 is an operating state suitable for S regeneration, S regeneration can be performed quickly.
- the method of calculating the first lean period ratio Rpreln used in step S8 of FIG. 4 is not limited to the method described above! /.
- the increase in the catalyst bed temperature during fuel addition is the degree of deterioration of catalyst 8! /, ( Hereinafter, the degree of deterioration is abbreviated. ) And the temperature rise becomes smaller as the catalyst 8 deteriorates. That is, as the catalyst 8 deteriorates, the catalyst bed temperature is less likely to increase during fuel addition. In this case, overheating of the catalyst 8 at the time of fuel addition can be prevented even if the length of the suspension time before addition is made shorter than before the catalyst 8 deteriorates. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
- the relationship between the catalyst bed temperature at the start of the cycle and the first lean period ratio Rpreln may be corrected according to the degree of deterioration of the catalyst 8.
- the degree of deterioration of catalyst 8 is first estimated, and the relationship between the catalyst bed temperature and the first lean period ratio Rpreln is corrected based on the estimation result.
- the degree of deterioration of the catalyst 8 may be estimated by a known estimation method that estimates based on, for example, the cumulative operation time of the engine 1.
- correction is performed so that the ratio of the first lean period decreases as the catalyst 8 deteriorates, that is, the time length of the first lean period decreases as the catalyst 8 deteriorates.
- the relationship shown in FIG. 8 is obtained by, for example, experiments in advance and stored in the ECU 20 as a map.
- the force at which the catalyst bed temperature periodically fluctuates during S regeneration is affected by the exhaust gas temperature. This is because the catalyst bed temperature when fuel addition is stopped gradually approaches the exhaust gas temperature. Therefore, the upper limit of the temperature range in which the catalyst bed temperature should be controlled during S regeneration is determined by the bed temperature upper limit temperature of catalyst 8, and the lower limit of this temperature range is determined by the exhaust gas temperature. Since the exhaust gas temperature changes according to the operating state of the engine 1, the operation of the engine 1 at that time is corrected by correcting the relationship between the catalyst bed temperature and the first lean period ratio by the exhaust gas temperature at the start of the cycle. The time length of the first lean period ratio suitable for the condition can be calculated.
- the relationship between the catalyst bed temperature and the first lean period ratio when temperature control is required according to the exhaust gas temperature at the start of S regeneration may be corrected.
- the first lean period is corrected so that the time length becomes shorter as the exhaust gas temperature becomes higher when the catalyst bed temperature is the same.
- the first determination index set based on the catalyst bed temperature and the exhaust gas temperature at the start point of the cycle is calculated by the following equation, and the first lean period ratio is calculated based on the first determination index. May be.
- the calculation of the first lean period from the first determination index is performed using the map shown in Fig. 10.
- First judgment index (catalyst bed temperature exhaust gas temperature) / (bed temperature upper limit temperature exhaust gas temperature)
- the denominator of this equation indicates the temperature range corresponding to the temperature range in which the catalyst bed temperature should be controlled during S regeneration, and the numerator indicates the temperature difference between the catalyst bed temperature and the exhaust gas temperature at the start of the cycle.
- the first judgment is the ratio of the temperature difference obtained by subtracting the exhaust gas temperature from the catalyst bed temperature at the start of the cycle relative to the temperature range to be controlled during S regeneration. Calculated as an index.
- the addition period It is possible to more reliably suppress overheating of the catalyst 8 at, and to calculate the first lean period suitable for the operating state of the engine 1 at that time.
- the ratio of the first lean period based on the relative temperature based on the exhaust gas temperature in this way, the influence of different centers can be eliminated when the catalyst bed temperature changes depending on the exhaust gas temperature.
- the shortest first lean period can be calculated accurately.
- the proportion of the first lean period is corrected according to the length of the addition period so that the first lean period becomes longer as the addition period becomes longer.
- the first lean period ratio is calculated based on the map shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, as shown in the following equation, the first lean period ratio is obtained based on the second determination index calculated by multiplying the first determination index used in FIG. 10 by the length of the addition period (rich time).
- Second judgment index [(catalyst bed temperature exhaust gas temperature) / (bed temperature upper limit temperature exhaust gas temperature)]
- the time length (rich time) of the addition period By multiplying the time length (rich time) of the addition period in this way, the time length of the first lean period can be corrected longer as the addition period is longer.
- the shortest first lean period can be calculated more accurately.
- the ECU 20 functions as the addition period correction means by calculating the length of the pre-addition pause period as the rich time is longer.
- the change width of the catalyst bed temperature during the addition period is affected by the exhaust gas flow rate and the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas. Therefore, the first lean period may be corrected according to the exhaust gas flow rate and the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas.
- the first lean period can be corrected to a more appropriate time length according to the operating state of engine 1, and when correcting using a part of these physical quantities Can simplify the method for calculating the ratio of the first lean period.
- FIG. 1 is referred to for the engine 1.
- FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a fuel addition timing control routine corresponding to FIG. 4 of the first embodiment
- FIG. 13 is a flowchart following FIG.
- the fuel addition execution routine of FIG. 5 is repeatedly executed at an appropriate period in parallel with the control routine of FIG. 12 as in the first embodiment.
- step S8 is deleted from the routine of FIG. 4, step S20 is provided instead of step S9, and steps S2;! To S23 force S shown in FIG. 13 are added. Has been.
- FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 the same processing as in FIG.
- the control routines of FIGS. 12 and 13 are repeatedly executed at a predetermined cycle while the engine 1 is operating.
- the ECU 20 performs the same process as in the control routine of FIG. 4 until step S7.
- the ECU 20 sets the time length of the first lean period by multiplying the pause period by 0.5 instead of the first lean period ratio Rpreln in the first embodiment. That is, in the second form, half of the suspension period is allocated to the first lean period.
- the ECU 20 calculates the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl.
- step SI 1! / The ECU 20 determines whether or not the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsum has reached the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl. When an affirmative determination is made at step SI1, the processing of steps S12 and S13 is executed, and then the control routine of FIG. 11 is terminated.
- step S 11 the process proceeds to step S 21 in FIG. 13, and the ECU 20 determines whether or not the catalyst bed temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined regeneration lower limit temperature.
- S regeneration of catalyst 8 is performed by raising the catalyst bed temperature to a target temperature (eg, 600 ° C. or higher). As the catalyst bed temperature becomes lower than the target temperature, the sulfur oxide deposited on the catalyst 8 becomes difficult to be decomposed and removed. Therefore, the predetermined regeneration lower limit temperature is set to a temperature at which the decomposition and removal of the sulfur oxide deposited on the catalyst 8 is difficult to proceed, for example, 600 ° C. If it is determined that the catalyst bed temperature is higher than the regeneration lower limit temperature, the current control routine is terminated.
- step S22 ECU 20 actually performs the first lean period with respect to the time length Tleanl of the first lean period calculated in step S20.
- Calculate the first lean period shortening ratio Rad which represents the ratio of the time length provided as follows.
- the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl is a value calculated based on the time length Tleanl of the first lean period, it correlates with the calculated time length Tleanl of the first lean period! /.
- the accumulated temperature requirement addition amount Qtsum when step S21 is executed is the integrated value of the temperature requirement addition amount Qt until step S21 is executed, so step S21 is executed from the start point of one cycle. It correlates with the time length until the time. In other words, it correlates with the length of time actually set as the first lean period. Therefore, calculate the first lean period shortening ratio Rad by dividing the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsu m by the first lean equivalent addition amount Qleanl.
- the ECU 20 corrects the length of the latch time based on the first lean period reduction ratio Rad.
- the temperature decrease width of catalyst 8 in the first lean period is provided with the first lean period of the time length Tleanl calculated in step S20. Smaller than the case. Therefore, as shown in Figure; L4, when the first lean period is shortened, it is proportional to the shortening rate. If the rich time is not shortened, the catalyst 8 may be overheated during the addition period. Therefore, the rich time is corrected by the following equation so that the rich time is reduced at the same rate as the reduction rate of the first lean period. By correcting the rich time in this way, the ECU 20 functions as the addition period length correcting means of the present invention.
- the corrected rich time Trich ′ is used as the rich time in the control routines of FIG. 12 and FIG.
- the process proceeds to step S12 in FIG. 12, and the processes in steps S12 and S13 are executed. Then, the control of Figure 12
- the catalyst bed temperature is set to a temperature suitable for S regeneration. Can be maintained. Also, depending on the catalyst bed temperature, the first lean period can be shortened and S regeneration can be performed quickly. Furthermore, since the rich time is shortened according to the shortening ratio of the first lean period, overheating of the catalyst 8 during the addition period can be suppressed.
- FIG. 15 is a modification of the fuel addition timing control routine in the second embodiment.
- the part corresponding to FIG. 13 is changed in the control routine of FIG. 12, and the rest is the same as the control routine of FIG. Therefore, FIG. 15 shows only the portion corresponding to FIG. 13 in the control routine of FIG.
- the same processes as those in FIG. 13 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
- step S31 is added after step S23 with respect to the routine of FIG.
- step S31 it is determined whether or not the corrected rich time Trich 'is less than a preset minimum rich time.
- the minimum rich time is the minimum time required from when S regeneration starts to the catalyst 8 until the S regeneration starts to act effectively on the catalyst 8. In other words, the S regeneration is performed efficiently. This is the minimum time required. Since the minimum rich time varies depending on, for example, the performance or capacity of the catalyst 8, change it appropriately according to these parameters.
- step S12 and S13 are performed. That is, if a negative determination is made in step S31, the first lean period is set. Terminate and allow fuel addition. Thereafter, the current control routine ends.
- step S31 when the post-correction rich time Trich 'is less than the minimum rich time, the current control routine is terminated. In other words, if a positive determination is made in step S31, the first lean period is continued. When step S31 is affirmed and the first lean period is continued, the value of the cumulative temperature required addition amount Qtsum increases the next time the control routine of FIG. 15 is executed, so the first lean period shortening rate Rad Will increase. As a result, the corrected rich time Trich 'also increases. That is, in the control routine of FIG. 15, the first lean period is continued until the corrected rich time Trich ′ becomes equal to or greater than the minimum rich time.
- the length of the rich time for fuel addition is set to be equal to or greater than the minimum rich time.
- the minimum rich time is the minimum time required from the start of S regeneration as described above until the S regeneration starts to act effectively on the catalyst 8. , The rich time ends with insufficient S regeneration even when fuel is added. Therefore, this fuel addition may be wasted.
- the length of the rich time is always set to be equal to or longer than the minimum rich time, so that unnecessary fuel addition to the catalyst 8 can be prevented. If step S31 is affirmed and the first lean period is continued, the catalyst bed temperature temporarily falls below a predetermined regeneration lower limit temperature.
- the temperature drop of the other parts (hereinafter referred to as the part after the middle stream) is smaller than the temperature drop of the upstream part.
- the temperature change of the catalyst 8 first occurs in the upstream part where the exhaust gas flows, and thereafter, the temperature change in the part after the midstream occurs later than the temperature change in the upstream part. This is due to the heat capacity of catalyst 8. For this reason, even if the catalyst bed temperature in the upstream portion falls below the lower limit regeneration temperature for a short time, the catalyst bed temperature can be maintained at the regeneration lower limit temperature or higher in the portion after the middle stream. Therefore, even if the temperature in the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 is equal to or lower than the regeneration lower limit temperature for a short time, the S regeneration processing of the portion after the middle stream can be performed by adding fuel.
- FIG. 16 shows only the portion corresponding to FIG. 13 in the control routine of FIG. Except for the parts shown in FIG. 16, the control routine of FIG. 12 is the same.
- the same processes as those in FIG. 13 are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.
- the process of step S 41 is first executed to determine whether or not S regeneration of the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 is incomplete. If it is determined that the S regeneration in the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 has been completed, the current control routine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that the S regeneration in the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 has not been completed, the process proceeds to step S21, and the process proceeds thereafter in the same manner as in the control routine of FIG.
- the processes after step S21 are executed only when S regeneration of the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 is necessary.
- the portion after the middle stream of the catalyst 8 can be maintained at a temperature higher than the regeneration lower limit temperature even if the temperature of the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 falls below the regeneration lower limit temperature for a short time. Therefore, by limiting the processing after step S21 to be executed only when the S regeneration of the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 is necessary as in this modification, the S regeneration after the completion of the S regeneration of the upstream portion of the catalyst 8 is completed. Reduction of unnecessary rich time can be prevented.

- the present invention is not limited to a diesel engine, but may be applied to various internal combustion engines using gasoline or other fuels! /.
- the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.

- an exhaust purification means such as an exhaust purification catalyst
- a filter that is provided for the purpose of trapping particulate matter in exhaust gas is also used for temperature control when performing processing to restore the filter function by burning particulate matter trapped in the filter. The invention is applicable.
- Fuel addition for temperature control is not limited to the fuel addition valve provided on the upstream side of the catalyst in the exhaust passage.
- post injection using the injector 30, that is, injection performed for the purpose of adding fuel to the exhaust gas after main injection for combustion in the cylinder 2 may be controlled according to the present invention.
- the amount of fuel added may be controlled in consideration of fuel adhesion and evaporation in the exhaust passage 4 and transport delay.
- the pre-addition stop period is provided before the addition period, and the length of the pre-addition stop period is the exhaust gas at the start point of the cycle. Since the temperature is changed according to the temperature of the purifying means, it is possible to prevent an excessive increase in the temperature of the exhaust gas purifying means during the addition period and to prevent a wasteful pre-addition pause period. Therefore, fuel addition can be performed quickly. Further, according to the exhaust purification device of the present invention, the pre-addition pause period having a length set based on the temperature of the NOx storage reduction catalyst at the start point of the cycle is provided before the addition period. Fuel can be quickly added to the NOx storage reduction catalyst while suppressing overheating of the reduction NOx catalyst.
