Definitions
- the present invention relates to a shut-off valve failure diagnosis device.
- This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-062674 filed in Japan on March 18, 2010, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- bi-fuel engine system that selectively switches between liquid fuel such as gasoline and gaseous fuel such as compressed natural gas (CNG) and supplies it to a single engine as a technology to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and environmental protection performance.
- liquid fuel such as gasoline
- gaseous fuel such as compressed natural gas (CNG)
- CNG compressed natural gas
- An electromagnetic shut-off valve is inserted in the fuel supply path from the gas tank to the regulator, and it is possible to switch between the start and stop of the supply of gaseous fuel by controlling the open / close state of this shut-off valve by the control device. . Since the failure of the shut-off valve has a serious adverse effect on the entire system, various shut-off valve failure diagnosis techniques have been developed. For example, in Patent Document 1 below, the shut-off valve downstream pressure at the time when the shut-off valve is switched from the closed state to the open state and the shut-off valve downstream pressure after a lapse of a predetermined time from that time are measured. A technique for diagnosing a failure of the shut-off valve based on the obtained pressure increase rate is disclosed.
- a kick pilot structure as shown in FIG. 7 As a structure of the shut-off valve, a kick pilot structure as shown in FIG. 7 is known.
- the plunger 101 when not energized, the plunger 101 is pressed by the spring 102 and the pilot valve 103 provided integrally with the plunger 101 is connected to the pilot valve seat 105 provided on the main valve 104. It comes into contact. That is, at the time of de-energization, the pilot valve 103 and the main valve 104 are both closed, and the flow of gaseous fuel from the upstream (gas tank side) flow path 106 to the downstream (regulator side) flow path 107 is blocked (see FIG. 7 (a)).
- the pilot valve 103 is separated from the pilot valve seat 105 (that is, opened) by the movement of the plunger 101 by this suction force.
- the gaseous fuel starts to flow from the upstream channel 106 to the downstream channel 107 (see FIG. 7B).
- the main valve 104 remains closed (the movement of the plunger 101 is also stopped).
- the plunger 101 starts to move again when the suction force by energization exceeds.
- the main valve 104 is opened by the movement of the plunger 101, and the gaseous fuel starts to flow from the upstream flow path 106 to the downstream flow path 107 at the maximum flow rate (see FIG. 7C). Further, when there is no differential pressure between the upstream flow path 106 and the downstream flow path 107 before the pilot valve 103 is opened, the main valve 104 is opened instantaneously and the gaseous fuel flows through the downstream flow path 107.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a shut-off valve failure diagnosis device that can appropriately perform a so-called kick pilot structure shut-off valve failure diagnosis.
- the shut-off valve failure diagnosis device includes a first valve body that opens in advance when energized and a differential pressure drop between upstream and downstream after the opening of the first valve body.
- a shutoff valve failure diagnosis device for performing a fault diagnosis of a shutoff valve having a second valve body to be opened, wherein the first and second valve bodies are opened and closed based on a time variation characteristic of the downstream pressure of the shutoff valve.
- a diagnosis processing unit that performs failure diagnosis of the shut-off valve from the measured value of the downstream pressure based on the estimation result.
- shut-off valve Depending on the open / closed state of the first valve body that opens in advance when energized and the second valve body that opens due to a differential pressure drop between upstream and downstream after the first valve body is opened, these valves
- the time variation characteristic of the downstream pressure of the shutoff valve having the body tends to be different. That is, if the opening and closing states of the first and second valve bodies are estimated in advance from the time-varying characteristics of the downstream pressure of the shut-off valve, the shut-off valve (so-called kick pilot) is obtained from the measured value of the downstream pressure based on the estimation result. It is possible to appropriately perform failure diagnosis of the structure shut-off valve).
- the diagnosis processing unit determines that the measured value of the downstream pressure is less than the threshold value when the measured value of the downstream pressure is equal to or less than the threshold value before the shutoff valve is energized (first case).
- a failure diagnosis of the shutoff valve may be performed from the actual measurement value of the downstream pressure based on the estimation result that is different from that in the second case. Time variation of the downstream pressure of the shut-off valve in the first case (case where the differential pressure between the upstream and downstream of the shut-off valve is large) and the second case (case where the differential pressure between the upstream and downstream of the shut-off valve is small)
- the correspondence relationship between the characteristics and the open / closed states of the first and second valve bodies is different. Therefore, by performing failure diagnosis of the shut-off valve based on estimation results different between the first case and the second case, it is possible to perform appropriate failure diagnosis according to the case.
- the diagnosis processing unit may be configured such that when the measured value of the downstream pressure is equal to or less than a threshold value before the shutoff valve is energized (first case), after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of energization of the shutoff valve. It may be determined whether the measured value of the downstream pressure has exceeded the threshold, and if not, it may be determined that the shut-off valve has failed.
- first case when the measured value of the downstream pressure does not exceed the threshold value after a lapse of a predetermined time from the start of energization of the shutoff valve, both the first valve body and the second valve body are closed. It is estimated that That is, in this case, it can be determined that the shut-off valve is malfunctioning.
- the diagnosis processing unit determines that the measured value of the downstream pressure exceeds the threshold value after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of energization of the shut-off valve
- the fuel injection installed downstream of the shut-off valve The valve may be activated, and it may be determined that the shut-off valve has failed when the measured value of the downstream pressure becomes equal to or less than the threshold value after activation of the fuel injection valve.
- the measured value of the downstream pressure exceeds the threshold value after a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of energization of the shutoff valve, it is estimated that at least the first valve element has been normally opened. Therefore, the fuel downstream of the shutoff valve is consumed by starting the fuel injection valve.
- the predetermined time may be set to a time from the start of energization of the shutoff valve to the time when the first valve body is opened and the downstream pressure becomes a value at which the engine can be operated. .
- the diagnosis processing unit may be configured such that when the measured value of the downstream pressure exceeds the threshold value before the shutoff valve is energized (second case), the shutoff valve is energized after the shutoff valve is energized.
- a fuel injection valve installed downstream of the fuel injection valve may be activated, and it may be determined that the shut-off valve has failed when the measured value of the downstream pressure becomes equal to or less than the threshold value after activation of the fuel injection valve.
- the fuel downstream of the shut-off valve is consumed by starting the fuel injection valve after starting the energization of the shut-off valve.
- the fuel supply from the upstream is not in time for the fuel consumption downstream of the shutoff valve, so at least the second valve body Is estimated to be closed. That is, in this case, it can be determined that the shut-off valve is malfunctioning.

That is, according to the open / close state of the pilot valve 103 that opens in advance when the shut-off valve 41 is energized and the main valve 104 that opens due to the differential pressure drop between the upstream and downstream after the valve opening, these valves are provided.

- the threshold value Pt is set so that a correct determination can be made even if the maximum error of the detected pressure value is expected.
- the threshold value Pt is desirably a value that causes insufficient supply when the gaseous fuel pressure is equal to or lower than the threshold value Pt. Therefore, by performing failure diagnosis of the shut-off valve 41 based on estimation results different between the first case and the second case, it is possible to perform appropriate failure diagnosis according to the case.

As shown in FIG. 4, both the pilot valve 103 and the main valve 104 are closed (see pattern d), or the pilot valve 103 is closed and the main valve 104 is opened (pattern). c). That is, in this case, it can be determined that the shut-off valve 41 is out of order.
- the predetermined time T is set to a time from the start of energization of the shutoff valve 41 to the time when the pilot valve 103 opens and the downstream pressure P becomes a value at which the engine can be operated. Is desirable. By setting the predetermined time T in this way, it is possible to accurately detect a failure of the shutoff valve 41 caused by an open failure of the pilot valve 103.
- FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the opening and closing states of the pilot valve 103 and the main valve 104 estimated from the time variation characteristics of the downstream pressure P of the shutoff valve 41 in the second case.
- 5A shows each tendency of the time variation characteristic of the downstream pressure P
- FIG. 5B shows the open / closed state (valve state) of the pilot valve 103 and the main valve 104 corresponding to each tendency.
- the valve open state indicates that the valve is normal
- the valve closed state indicates that the valve is faulty.
- the fuel downstream of the shutoff valve 41 is consumed by starting the gaseous fuel injection valve 23 after the energization of the shutoff valve 41 is started.
- the downstream pressure P becomes equal to or lower than the threshold value Pt (see the two-dot chain line portion)

- the CPU 66 determines whether or not the acquired downstream pressure actual measurement value P1 is equal to or less than the threshold value Pt (step S7).
- the process returns to step S6 and continues to acquire the downstream pressure actual measurement value P1, while in the case of “Yes”, that is, it is estimated that the main valve 104 is in a closed state.

Abstract
Description
本願は、2010年3月18日に、日本に出願された特願2010-062674に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
通電時に先行して開弁する第1の弁体と、第1の弁体の開弁後に上流下流間の差圧低下によって開弁する第2の弁体の開閉状態に応じて、それらの弁体を有する遮断弁の下流圧力の時間変化特性は異なる傾向となる。つまり、予め遮断弁の下流圧力の時間変化特性から第1及び第2の弁体の開閉状態を推定しておけば、その推定結果に基づいて、下流圧力の実測値から遮断弁(いわゆるキックパイロット構造の遮断弁)の故障診断を適切に行うことが可能となる。
上記の第1のケース(遮断弁の上流下流間の差圧が大きいケース)と第2のケース(遮断弁の上流下流間の差圧が小さいケース)とでは、遮断弁の下流圧力の時間変化特性と第1及び第2の弁体の開閉状態との対応関係は異なるものとなる。従って、上記の第1のケースと第2のケースとで異なる推定結果に基づいて遮断弁の故障診断を行うことにより、ケースに応じた適切な故障診断が可能となる。
上記の第1のケースにおいて、遮断弁の通電開始から所定時間経過後に下流圧力の実測値が閾値を越えなかった場合、第1の弁体及び第2の弁体の両方が閉弁状態になっていると推定される。つまり、この場合には遮断弁の故障と判断することができる。
上記の第1のケースにおいて、遮断弁の通電開始から所定時間経過後に下流圧力の実測値が閾値を越えた場合、少なくとも第1の弁体は正常に開弁したと推定される。そこで、燃料噴射弁を起動させることで遮断弁下流の燃料を消費させてみる。この燃料噴射弁の起動以降、下流圧力の実測値が閾値以下となった場合、遮断弁下流の燃料消費に対して上流からの燃料供給が間に合っていないと考えられるため、第2の弁体が閉弁状態になっていると推定される。つまり、この場合には遮断弁の故障と判断することができる。
このように所定時間を設定することで、第1の弁体の開故障が原因となる遮断弁の故障を精度良く検出することが可能となる。
上記の第2のケースでは、遮断弁の通電開始後に燃料噴射弁を起動させることで遮断弁下流の燃料を消費させてみる。この燃料噴射弁の起動以降、下流圧力の実測値が閾値以下となった場合、遮断弁下流の燃料消費に対して上流からの燃料供給が間に合っていないと考えられるため、少なくとも第2の弁体が閉弁状態になっていると推定される。
