Definitions
- the present invention relates to an electric heating type exhaust purification device that is disposed in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine and is heated by energization.
- a catalyst carrier As an electrically heated exhaust emission control device, a catalyst carrier, a shell (case) for housing the catalyst carrier, a mat member disposed between the catalyst carrier and the shell, and a pair of electrodes provided on the surface of the catalyst carrier A device including a pair of electrode terminals that penetrate the mat member from each electrode and reach the outside of the shell is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the catalyst carrier when a voltage is applied between a pair of electrode terminals, the catalyst carrier serves as a resistor to generate heat. As a result, the temperature of the catalyst supported on the catalyst carrier rises.
- the mat member is formed of inorganic fibers such as alumina fibers, or when the catalyst carrier is formed of a porous material such as ceramic, a small amount of exhaust gas passes through the mat member or the catalyst carrier to form electrode terminals. There is a possibility of entering into the storage space (through portion of the mat member).
- the moisture in the exhaust gas becomes condensed water and stays in the accommodation space when the temperature of the accommodation space is low.
- a large amount of condensed water may be accumulated in the accommodation space. Further, the condensed water staying on the mat member or the catalyst carrier may enter the accommodation space and accumulate.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a technique for avoiding a situation in which condensed water stays around electrode terminals in an exhaust purification device of an internal combustion engine.
- the present invention increases the pressure of the space in which the electrode terminal is accommodated in the exhaust gas purification apparatus of the internal combustion engine, thereby preventing the exhaust and condensed water from entering the accommodation portion.
- the present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine.
- a catalyst carrier with electrodes A case for accommodating the catalyst carrier; A mat member disposed between the catalyst carrier and the case; A space from the catalyst carrier through the mat member to the case; An electrode terminal accommodated in the space and for supplying power to the electrode of the catalyst carrier; A pressure supply section for supplying a positive pressure to the space section; I was prepared to.
- the pressure in the space is increased more than the pressure of the exhaust gas flowing in the case. Therefore, the exhaust gas flowing in the case does not enter the space through the mat member and the catalyst carrier. Further, the condensed water staying on the mat member or the catalyst carrier does not enter the space. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a situation in which condensed water stays in the space.
- a decrease in insulation resistance between the electrode of the catalyst carrier and the case is suppressed. As a result, a short circuit between the catalyst carrier (electrode) and the case can be avoided.
- An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an acquisition unit that acquires a physical quantity that correlates with a temperature of a space part, and pressure from the pressure supply unit to the space part when the temperature acquired by the acquisition unit is equal to or lower than a dew point temperature degree. And a control unit for applying the voltage.
- An exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine uses an oxygen concentration sensor (or an air-fuel ratio sensor) disposed in an exhaust passage downstream of a catalyst carrier and an output signal of the oxygen concentration sensor to control parameters of the internal combustion engine. And a prohibiting unit that prohibits calculation of control parameters by the calculating unit when a positive pressure is applied from the pressure supply unit to the space.
- an oxygen concentration sensor or an air-fuel ratio sensor
- a prohibiting unit that prohibits calculation of control parameters by the calculating unit when a positive pressure is applied from the pressure supply unit to the space.
- the control parameter When a positive pressure is applied from the pressure supply unit to the space, a part of the gas (air) supplied to the space may pass through the mat member or the catalyst carrier and be mixed into the exhaust gas. In that case, the oxygen concentration (or air-fuel ratio) of the exhaust downstream from the catalyst carrier increases (changes to the lean side) from the oxygen concentration (or air-fuel ratio) of the exhaust upstream from the catalyst carrier. Therefore, if the control parameter is calculated using the output signal of the sensor, the control parameter may become an inappropriate value for the operating state of the internal combustion engine.
- the prohibiting unit may correct the output signal of the sensor to a rich value instead of prohibiting calculation of the control parameter using the output signal of the sensor.
- control parameter here is, for example, air-fuel ratio feedback control (main feedback) for correcting the fuel injection amount based on an output signal of an oxygen concentration sensor (or air-fuel ratio sensor) disposed in the exhaust passage upstream of the catalyst carrier.
- Control and sub-feedback control for calculating a correction value and a learning value used for air-fuel ratio feedback control based on an output signal of an oxygen concentration sensor (or air-fuel ratio sensor) downstream from the catalyst carrier, It is a correction value or a learning value calculated by sub-feedback control.
- the above-described sensor output signal shifts to the lean side occurs when the pressure in the space becomes higher than the exhaust pressure in the case. Therefore, when the pressure in the space is suppressed to be approximately equal to the pressure in the case, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the output signal of the sensor shifts to the lean side.
- the pressure supply unit may supply a pressure equal to the exhaust pressure in the case to the space.
- the pressure in the space becomes equal to the exhaust pressure in the case, it is possible to avoid a situation in which a part of the gas (air) supplied to the space is mixed in the exhaust.
- the control parameter calculation process by the calculation unit described above can be executed.
- the pressure supply unit may determine the pressure supplied to the space part using the intake air amount of the internal combustion engine as a parameter. For example, the pressure supply unit may increase the pressure supplied to the space portion when the intake air amount of the internal combustion engine is large compared to when the amount is small. Since the intake air amount of the internal combustion engine can be detected by an existing sensor such as an air flow meter, the pressure supplied to the space can be determined without adding a dedicated sensor.
- the exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention is also suitable when a laminated body of a mat member, an electrical insulating layer, and a mat member is disposed between the case and the catalyst carrier.
- a laminated body of a mat member, an electrical insulating layer, and a mat member is disposed between the case and the catalyst carrier.
- the mat member between the electrical insulation layer and the case and the mat member between the electrical insulation layer and the catalyst carrier are used. Condensed water tends to stay. Therefore, a large amount of condensed water tends to accumulate in the space where the electrode terminals are accommodated.
- the present invention can avoid a situation in which condensed water stays around the electrode terminal in the electric heating type exhaust purification device.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an intake / exhaust system of an internal combustion engine to which the present invention is applied.
- the internal combustion engine 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a compression ignition internal combustion engine (diesel engine) or a spark ignition internal combustion engine (gasoline engine).
- An intake passage 2 and an exhaust passage 3 are connected to the internal combustion engine 1.
- an air flow meter 4 and an intake throttle valve 5 are arranged in the intake passage 2.
- the air flow meter 4 is a sensor that outputs an electrical signal correlated with the amount of fresh air (air) flowing through the intake passage 2.
- the intake throttle valve 5 is a valve mechanism that changes the intake air amount of the internal combustion engine 1 by changing the passage sectional area of the intake passage 2.
- an electrically heated exhaust purification device (EHC) 6 is disposed in the exhaust passage 3.
- the EHC 6 is an exhaust purification device including a heating element that generates heat when electric power from the battery 7 is applied. The detailed configuration of the EHC 6 will be described later.
- An air-fuel ratio sensor 11 and an upstream temperature sensor 12 are provided in the exhaust passage 3 upstream of the EHC 6.
- An O 2 sensor 13 and a downstream temperature sensor 14 are provided in the exhaust passage 3 downstream from the EHC 6.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 11 is a sensor that outputs an electrical signal correlated with the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas.
- the upstream and downstream temperature sensors 12 and 14 are sensors that output an electrical signal correlated with the temperature of the exhaust gas.
- the O 2 sensor 13 is a sensor that outputs an electrical signal correlated with the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
- the internal combustion engine 1 is provided with an electronic control unit (ECU) 10 for controlling the internal combustion engine 1.
- the ECU 10 is electrically connected to various sensors such as an air flow meter 4, an air-fuel ratio sensor 11, an upstream temperature sensor 12, an O 2 sensor 13, and a downstream temperature sensor 14. Further, the ECU 10 is electrically connected to various devices such as the intake throttle valve 5, the EHC 6, and a fuel injection valve (not shown).
- the EHC 6 controls the various devices described above based on the output signals of the various sensors described above.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic configuration of the EHC 6.
- the EHC 6 includes a catalyst carrier 61, a case 62, and a mat member 63.
- the catalyst carrier 61, the case 62, and the mat member 63 are arranged coaxially.
- the catalyst carrier 61 is a honeycomb structure formed in a columnar shape, and the honeycomb structure is formed of a porous ceramic (for example, SiC).
- the catalyst carrier 61 an oxidation catalyst, three-way catalyst, a catalyst such as storage reduction NO X catalyst or a selective reduction type NO X catalyst is supported.
- a pair of electrodes 61 a and 61 b are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the catalyst carrier 61.
- the electrodes 61 a and 61 b are arranged at positions facing each other on the outer peripheral surface of the catalyst carrier 61.
- the case 62 is a metal (for example, stainless steel) housing that accommodates the catalyst carrier 61 and is formed in a cylindrical shape having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the catalyst carrier 61. It should be noted that the upstream end and the downstream end of the case 62 are formed in a tapered shape having a diameter that decreases as the distance from the catalyst carrier 61 increases.
- the mat member 63 is an annular member that is press-fitted between the outer peripheral surface of the catalyst carrier 61 and the inner peripheral surface of the case 62.
- the mat member 63 is formed of a material having low electrical conductivity (for example, inorganic fibers such as alumina fibers), and supports (holds) the catalyst carrier 61 while suppressing a short circuit between the case 62 and the catalyst carrier 61 (electrodes 61a and 61b). )
- through holes 63a and 63b extending from the electrodes 61a and 61b to the case 62 are formed at portions facing the electrodes 61a and 61b. These through holes 63a and 63b accommodate electrode terminals 64a and 64b for supplying power to the electrodes 61a and 61b.
- the base ends of the electrodes 61a and 61b are connected to the electrodes 61a and 61b.
- the terminal ends of the electrodes 61 a and 61 b penetrate the case 62 and project outside the case 62.
- the through holes 63a and 63b correspond to the space portions according to the present invention.
- a support member 65 is interposed between the electrode terminals 64 a and 64 b and the case 62 in a portion where the electrode terminals 64 a and 64 b penetrate the case 62.
- the support member 65 is formed of an insulator having low electrical conductivity so that the electrode terminals 64a and 64b and the case 62 are not short-circuited. Furthermore, the support member 65 and the electrode terminals 64a and 64b are airtightly joined, and the support member 65 and the case 62 are also airtightly joined.
- the catalyst carrier 61 becomes a resistor and generates heat. As a result, the temperature (bed temperature) of the catalyst increases. For example, when the internal combustion engine 1 is cold started and the battery voltage is applied to the electrodes 61a and 61b, the catalyst supported on the catalyst carrier 61 can be activated early. Further, when the battery voltage is applied to the electrodes 61a and 61b when the internal combustion engine 1 is in the deceleration fuel cut operation state, the temperature drop of the catalyst carried on the catalyst carrier 61 can be suppressed.
- water condensed upstream from the catalyst carrier 61 may permeate into the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61. Further, when the temperature of the EHC 6 is low, there is a possibility that moisture in the exhaust gas may aggregate in the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61. These condensed water enters the through holes 63 a and 63 b through the gaps between the fibers in the mat member 63 and the pores of the catalyst carrier 61. Furthermore, when the exhaust gas in the case 62 enters the through holes 63a and 63b via the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61 when the temperature of the EHC 6 is low, moisture in the exhaust gas can aggregate inside the through holes 63a and 63b. There is also sex.
- the condensed water vaporizes (evaporates) when the temperature of the EHC 6 rises, and the insulation resistance inside the through holes 63a and 63b can decrease. There is sex.
- the electrodes 61a and 61b and the case 62 may be short-circuited.
- the EHC 6 of the present embodiment is provided with a pressure supply unit for applying a positive pressure inside the through holes 63a and 63b.
- the pressure supply unit of the present embodiment includes an air pump 67 that discharges high-pressure air (positive air), and pressure pipes 66a and 66b that guide the high-pressure air discharged from the air pump 67 to the through holes 63a and 63b. ing.
- the air pump 67 is an electric pump that operates using the electric power of the battery 7 and is controlled by the ECU 10. In the example shown in FIG. 2, two air pumps 67 are shown, but high-pressure air discharged from one air pump 67 may be distributed to the two pressure pipes 66a and 66b.
- the discharge pressure of the air pump 67 is set to be larger than the maximum value that the exhaust pressure in the case 62 can take during operation of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the air pump 67 is thus operated, the internal pressure of the through holes 63a and 63b becomes higher than the exhaust pressure in the case 62. Therefore, the condensed water staying in the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61 enters the through holes 63a and 63b, and the exhaust in the case 62 passes through the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61 to the through holes 63a and 63b. Invasion can be avoided.
- the air pump 67 may operate the air pump 67 only when there is a possibility that condensed water may stay or generate in the through holes 63a and 63b.
- the temperature inside the through holes 63a and 63b may be a dew point temperature or less. Therefore, the air pump 67 may be operated only when the temperature inside the through holes 63a and 63b is equal to or lower than the dew point temperature.
- the temperature inside the through holes 63a and 63b may be detected by attaching a dedicated temperature sensor, or the output signal of the downstream temperature sensor 14 may be used as an alternative value.
- the dew point temperature may be measured with a dew point meter such as a polymer film dew point meter, a mirror-cooled dew point meter, a quartz crystal dew point meter, or a lithium chloride dew point meter, and the exhaust flow rate (intake air amount) or fuel injection amount It may be calculated as an argument.
- ECU10 supplies electric power from the battery 7 to the air pump 67, when the temperature inside through-hole 63a, 63b is below dew point temperature. On the other hand, when the temperature inside the through holes 63a and 63b is higher than the dew point temperature, the ECU 10 stops the power supply from the battery 7 to the air pump 67.
- the operation time of the air pump 67 can be shortened while avoiding a situation in which condensed water stays or is generated in the through holes 63a and 63b. As a result, deterioration of the fuel consumption rate and deterioration of the durability of the air pump 67 can be suppressed.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed by the ECU 10 when the air pump 67 is operated.
- This control routine is a routine stored in advance in the ROM or the like of the ECU 10, and is periodically executed by the ECU 10.
- the ECU 10 first reads the temperature Te inside the through holes 63a and 63b in S101.
- the output signal of the downstream temperature sensor 14 is used as the temperature Te inside the through holes 63a and 63b.
- the ECU 10 determines whether or not the temperature Te read in S101 is higher than the dew point temperature A. If an affirmative determination is made in S102 (Te> A), the ECU 10 proceeds to S103. In S103, the ECU 10 stops the operation of the air pump 67. That is, the ECU 10 stops power supply from the battery 7 to the air pump 67. In that case, a part of the exhaust gas in the case 62 enters the through holes 63a and 63b via the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61. However, since the temperature Te inside the through holes 63a and 63b is higher than the dew point temperature A, moisture in the exhaust gas does not aggregate.
- the ECU 10 proceeds to S104.
- the ECU 10 operates the air pump 67. That is, the ECU 10 supplies power from the battery 7 to the air pump 67. The amount of power supply at that time is determined so that the pressure inside the through holes 63 a and 63 b is higher than the exhaust pressure inside the case 62.
- the air pump 67 is thus operated, a part of the exhaust in the case 62 does not enter the through holes 63a and 63b via the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61. Further, the condensed water staying in the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61 is also prevented from entering the through holes 63a and 63b. As a result, a situation in which a large amount of condensed water stays in the through holes 63a and 63b is avoided.
- a cylindrical inner cylinder (electrical insulating layer) 68 is disposed between the case 62 and the catalyst carrier 61.
- the inner cylinder 68 is formed of an insulating member such as alumina.
- a mat member 63 is press-fitted into the gap between the inner circumferential surface of the case 62 and the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 68 and the gap between the inner circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 68 and the outer circumferential surface of the catalyst carrier 61.
- the difference between the first embodiment and the present embodiment described above is that the system in which the air-fuel ratio feedback control based on the output signal of the air-fuel ratio sensor 11 and the sub-feedback control based on the output signal of the O 2 sensor 13 are performed. It is in the point which applies invention.
- the ECU 10 executes air-fuel ratio feedback control (main feedback control) for correcting the fuel injection amount so that the output signal of the air-fuel ratio sensor 11 converges to the target value. Further, the ECU 10 performs sub-feedback control that calculates the correction value and the learning value used in the air-fuel ratio feedback control using the output signal of the O 2 sensor 13 as an argument.
- air-fuel ratio feedback control main feedback control
- the correction value and the learning value used for the air-fuel ratio feedback control become inappropriate values.
- the fuel injection amount becomes larger than the appropriate amount, and the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the EHC 6 may be shifted to the rich side from the target value. If the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the EHC 6 becomes richer than the target value, there is a possibility that the purification ability of the catalyst supported on the catalyst carrier 61 cannot be fully exhibited.
- the ECU 10 prohibits the execution of the sub feedback control while the air pump 67 is operating. If the execution of the sub-feedback control is prohibited while the air pump 67 is operating, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the correction value or the learning value used for the air-fuel ratio feedback control becomes an inappropriate value. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the EHC 6 becomes richer than the target value.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed by the ECU 10 when the air pump 67 is operated.
- the same processes as those in the control routine (see FIG. 3) of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the execution of the sub feedback control based on the output signal of the O 2 sensor 13 is prohibited. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where the correction value or the learning value used for the main feedback control becomes an inappropriate value.
- Sub-feedback control may be allowed to be executed after correcting to a rich value.
- the difference between the first embodiment and the present embodiment is that when the air pump 67 is operated, the air pump 67 is applied so that the pressure inside the through holes 63a and 63b is equal to the exhaust pressure inside the case 62. This is in controlling the amount of current.
- the pressure in the through holes 63a and 63b becomes higher than the exhaust pressure in the case 62 when the air pump 67 is operated, a part of the air introduced into the through holes 63a and 63b is mixed into the exhaust. .
- the pressure inside the through holes 63a and 63b becomes equal to the exhaust pressure inside the case 62, the air introduced into the through holes 63a and 63b passes through the mat member 63 and the catalyst carrier 61 and enters the exhaust gas. No longer. As a result, the situation where the output signal of the O 2 sensor 13 is shifted to the lean side can be avoided.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a control routine executed when the ECU 10 operates the air pump 67.
- the same reference numerals are assigned to the same processes as those in the control routine (see FIG. 3) of the first embodiment described above.
- the exhaust pressure in the case 62 correlates with the intake air amount Ga of the internal combustion engine 1. That is, when the intake air amount Ga is large, the exhaust pressure in the case 62 is higher than when the intake air amount Ga is small. Therefore, the ECU 10 calculates the applied current amount Ip of the air pump 67 based on the map as shown in FIG. 7 and the intake air amount Ga.
- the map shown in FIG. 7 is a map that defines the relationship between the intake air amount Ga and the applied current amount Ip, and is obtained in advance by an adaptation process using an experiment or the like.
- the pressure inside the through holes 63a and 63b can be made equal to the exhaust pressure inside the case 62.
- the sub feedback control based on the output signal of the O 2 sensor 13 can be executed.
- the discharge pressure (applied current amount Ip) of the air pump 67 is determined using the intake air amount Ga of the internal combustion engine 1 as a parameter.
- a pressure sensor that detects the pressure in the case 62 is an EHC6.
- the discharge pressure (applied current amount Ip) of the air pump 67 may be determined using the output signal of the pressure sensor as a parameter.
