Abstract
Description
なお、それぞれの図中において同じ符号が付されているものは、特に説明がない限り同一の構成要素を示しており、適宜説明が省略されている。
1.排気浄化装置の全体的構成
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置20を備えた排気浄化装置10の構成を説明するために示す図である。
図1において、排気浄化装置10は、排気中のNOXを浄化するための装置であり、図示しないディーゼルエンジン等の内燃機関の排気通路3に設けられている。排気浄化装置10は、排気通路3の途中に介装されたNOX浄化触媒13と、NOX浄化触媒13よりも上流側の排気通路3内に液体還元剤を供給するための還元剤供給装置20とを備えている。
次に、本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置20において、還元剤噴射弁25に供給する圧力を目標圧力Pu_tgtで維持するために、電子制御装置40によって行われる制御の内容について詳細に説明する。
図3は、還元剤噴射弁25の駆動デューティ比が変化する中で、電磁ポンプ23のフィードバック制御のみによって還元剤圧力Puを制御した場合の圧力変化を示している。また、図4及び図5は、電磁ポンプ23のフィードバック制御と併せて流路絞り弁35の開度を制御することで還元剤圧力Puを制御した場合の圧力変化を示しており、図4が図3中の一点鎖線で囲まれた領域Aの期間に対応し、図5が図3中の二点鎖線で囲まれた領域Bの期間に対応している。
以下、本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置20に備えられた電子制御装置40によって実行される流路絞り弁35の制御方法の一例を、図6~図8のフローチャート図に沿って具体的に説明する。以下に説明するルーチンは、内燃機関の運転中において、常時実行されるようになっている。
なお、以下のフローチャート図に記載していないものの、流路絞り弁35の制御と並行して、電磁ポンプ23の出力のフィードバック制御が実行される。
以上説明した本発明の第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置20は、電磁ポンプ23の出力のフィードバック制御と併せて、還元剤リターン通路29の途中に設けられた流路絞り弁35の開度を還元剤噴射弁25の駆動デューティ比の差分ΔDVdutyに応じて調節することとしているため、還元剤圧力Puが目標圧力Pu_tgtから大きく外れる状態を低減することを可能にすることができる。その結果、還元剤圧力Puが目標圧力Pt_tgtとなっていることを前提に還元剤噴射弁25の制御を実行することで、液体還元剤が過不足なく排気通路3内に噴射されるようになる。また、還元剤噴射弁25の詰まり診断等、還元剤圧力Puを用いた種々の診断制御が実行される場合においては、診断精度の低下を防ぐことができる。したがって、排気浄化制御を精度良く実行可能な排気浄化装置10を提供することを可能にすることができる。
本発明の第2の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置は、基本的な構成が第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置の場合と同様である一方、電子制御装置による制御の内容が第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置の場合とは異なっている。以下、基本的な構成については図1を参照するとともに、電子制御装置以外の各構成要素については図1の符号をそのまま用いて、本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置について説明する。
本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置において、電子制御装置は、経時劣化や各構成部品の製造公差等を考慮して、還元剤圧力Puの制御が最適な状態で維持されるように、流路絞り弁35の開度を一時的に小さく又は大きくする継続時間Tbfv_close,Tbfv_openの補正を実行可能に構成されている。
本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置において実行される流路絞り弁の制御方法の基本的なルーチンは、第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置の場合と同様に、図6に示すフローチャート図に沿って実行される。ただし、流路絞り弁35の開度をさらに絞る制御を行うステップS17や、流路絞り弁35の開度を拡大する制御を行うステップS18の内容が、第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置の場合とは異なる。
以上説明した本発明の第2の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置は、第1の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置20と同様の効果を得ることができるだけでなく、さらに、流路絞り弁35の開度を変更した結果としての還元剤圧力Puと目標圧力Pu_tgtとの差の状態に応じて流路絞り弁35の開度を変更する時間Tbfv_close,Tbfv_openが補正され、還元剤圧力Puが目標圧力Pu_tgtから大きく外れることを長期間に渡って防ぐことができるようになる。したがって、還元剤供給装置の個体差や経時劣化が生じた場合であっても、長期間に渡って排気浄化制御を精度良く実行可能な排気浄化装置を提供することを可能にすることができる。
本発明の第3の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置は、基本的な構成が第1の実施の形態又は第2の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置の場合と同様であるが、本実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置においては、流路絞り弁の制御と流路切換弁の制御とが一本のハーネスを利用して行われるように構成されたものとなっている。
以上説明した第1~第3の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置及び排気浄化装置は、本発明の一態様を示すものであってこの発明を限定するものではなく、実施の形態は本発明の範囲内で任意に変更することが可能である。第1~第3の実施の形態にかかる還元剤供給装置及び排気浄化装置は、例えば、以下のように変更することができる。
