- step S116 When the processing including regeneration of DPF 6 and PM reset in steps S106 to S114 is executed, or if establishment of regeneration conditions for DPF 6 is not recognized in step S104, then in the current operation, It is determined whether or not the failure determination of the DPF 6 is completed (S116).
- the failure determination of the DPF 6 is executed by a process described later.
- the control device 10 records the completion of the failure determination when the failure determination is performed once for each operation of the internal combustion engine 2.
- the process of step S116 is determined based on whether or not this failure determination completion is recorded.

- the water temperature is detected according to the output of a water temperature sensor (not shown) for detecting the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 2.
- a PM output correction value at the time of cold start is calculated (S120).
- the correction coefficient K is calculated according to the current water temperature according to a map stored in the control device 10 in advance.
- the output correction value is calculated by multiplying the current sensor output by the obtained correction coefficient K.
- the correction coefficient K is 1 or a value close to 1, and the output correction value is substantially the same as the sensor output. Become.
- the correction coefficient K is a value significantly smaller than 1, and the output correction value is a small value relative to the sensor output. It becomes.
- the sensor output increase amount in this routine and the PM emission amount based on the sensor output increase amount are calculated (S122). Specifically, first, as the output increase amount, the difference between the output correction value calculated in step S120 of the current process and the output correction value in the previous process read from the backup RAM in step S102 (current output). Correction value-previous output correction value) is obtained. Then, the current PM emission amount is calculated according to the output increase amount. The calculated current PM emission amount is added to the previous PM emission amount read in step S102, and the PM emission amount up to this time is obtained.
- the failure determination condition is an operation condition or the like that can properly execute the failure determination, and is stored in the control device 10 in advance.
- the establishment of the failure determination condition for the DPF 6 is recognized, it is next determined whether or not the estimated PM emission amount behind (downstream) the DPF 6 has reached the reference amount (S128).
- step S124 if the establishment of the failure determination condition for the DPF 6 is not recognized in step S124, or if the estimated PM emission amount is not recognized to be larger than the reference amount in step S126, the process proceeds to S128.
- the output correction value calculated in S122 and the PM discharge amount are stored in the backup RAM, and the current process ends.
- step S126 if it is determined in step S126 that the estimated PM emission amount is larger than the reference amount, it is determined whether or not the calculated PM emission amount is smaller than the estimated PM emission amount (S130). That is, it is determined whether or not the PM emission amount downstream of the DPF 6 calculated in step S122 is smaller than the estimated PM emission amount downstream of the DPF 6 calculated based on the model (including a predetermined margin of the allowable emission range). Is done.
- step S130 when it is recognized that the PM emission amount is smaller than the estimated PM emission amount, the PM amount discharged downstream of the DPF 6 is an actual detection value (rather than a value estimated including the discharge allowable range). It is recognized that it is smaller than (PM emissions). Therefore, it is determined that PM is collected by the DPF 6, and it is determined that the DPF 6 is normal (S132). On the other hand, if PM emission amount ⁇ estimated PM emission amount is not recognized, it can be seen that the detected value of the PM emission amount downstream of the DPF 6 is larger than the allowable range. In this case, it is determined that the DPF 6 has failed (S134), and predetermined processing such as lighting of a warning lamp is executed.

- step S138 After each value stored in the backup RAM is cleared in step S138, or after it is determined in step S116 that the DPF 6 failure determination is completed during the current operation, the PM sensor 8 The heater is maintained at a high temperature and the collection voltage is turned off (S140). Thereafter, the current process ends. This state is stored in the control device 10, and while this routine is repeated in the future, in this operation, it is determined that the DPF 6 failure determination and PM reset have been completed.
- step S140 after the PM sensor 8 is maintained at a high temperature, PM is not deposited on the PM sensor 8, and the PM sensor 8 is maintained as it is until this operation is stopped. . Therefore, PM is not accumulated at the next start, and the PM sensor can be immediately put into the PM detection mode without performing PM reset after the start.
- the output of the PM sensor 8 is corrected by the correction value corresponding to the water temperature. Therefore, for example, even in a state where the sensor output at the time of cold start tends to be large, control such as determination of failure of the DPF 6 can be executed with high accuracy.
- the output correction value is calculated every time, the difference from the previous output correction value is obtained, and this amount of PM emission is changed to the previous PM emission.

Abstract
Description
[本実施の形態のシステムの構成について]
図1は、この発明の実施の形態のシステムの全体構成について説明するための図である。図1に示すシステムにおいて、内燃機関2の排気経路4には、DPF(Diesel Particulate Filter)6が設置されている。DPF6は、排気ガスに含まれる微粒子状物質(PM;particulate matter)を捕集するフィルタである。排気経路4のDPF6の下流には、PMセンサ8(微粒子センサ)が設置されている。このシステムにおいてPMセンサ8は、DPF6を通過した排気ガスに含まれるPM量の検出に用いられる。
本実施の形態において、制御装置10が行う制御には、以下のPMセンサ8出力に基づくPM排出量の検出、DPF6の再生、DPF6の故障判定、及び、PMセンサ8のリセットの制御が含まれる。
PM排出量の検出に際し、制御装置10は、電極12、14間に捕集用電圧を印加する。電極12、14間に捕集用電圧が印加されると、電極12、14間に排気ガス中のPMが堆積する。電極12、14間に堆積するPMが増加するにつれて、電極12、14間の導通箇所が増加し、電極12、14間の抵抗値が小さくなる。従って、PMセンサ8の出力値(電流値)は、電極12、14間に堆積するPMの量が増加するに連れて大きくなる。制御装置10は捕集用電圧を印加したときのPMセンサ8の出力値(電流値)を検出することで、排気ガス中のPM量、即ち、DPF6の下流に排出されたPMの量であるPM排出量が求められる。なお、以下、捕集用電圧を印加し、PM排出量を検出する状態を「PM検出モード」とも称する。PM検出モードにおいて素子部は、300℃より低い温度に維持されるものとする。
DPF6が排気ガス中のPMの捕集をし続けると、やがてDPF6への堆積量が限界に達し、それ以上PMを捕集できない状態となる。このような状態を避けるため、DPF6のPM堆積量がある程度となった段階で、PMを燃焼除去してDPF6の再生の処理を行う。
DPF6が故障すると、PMがDPF6をすり抜け大気中に放出される事態を生じ得る。従って、制御装置10は、定期的にDPF6の故障の有無を判定する制御を実行する。具体的に、制御装置10は、DPF6の後ろ(下流)の排気ガスに含まれるPM量を、モデルに従って推定する。制御装置10は、推定された量(以下「推定PM排出量」とも称する)と、PMセンサ8の出力に応じたPM排出量とを比較することで、DPF6の故障の有無を判定する。つまり、PMセンサ8の出力に基づき検出されたPM排出量が、推定PM排出量より大きい場合、DPF6の故障と判定する。なお、ここで用いられる推定PM排出量は、モデルから算出されるDPF6後ろの排気ガスに含まれるPM排出量の推定値に、許容される余裕分が加算された値である。
また、上記DPF6の故障判定では、PMセンサ8のセンサ出力が用いられるが、センサ出力は素子部に堆積しているPM量に応じて変化する出力である。従って、DPF6の故障判定を行う際には、それまでにPMセンサ8に付着していたPMを、一度除去する必要がある。このPMを除去する処理を「PMリセット」とも称する。
ところで、内燃機関2が冷間始動されるような場合、排気ガスには粒子径の大きなPMが含まれやすい。PMの粒子径が大きいとき、PMセンサ8への実際のPM堆積量が少なくても電極間12、14間の導電率は高くなりやすく、その結果、PMセンサ8の出力は大きくなりやすい。また冷間始動時にはPMセンサ8の素子部の温度も低い状態であるため、電極12、14間の電気抵抗値は小さくなりやすい。
図4は、この発明の実施の形態において制御装置が実行する制御のルーチンについて説明するためのフローチャートである。図4のルーチンは、内燃機関2の運転中に繰り返し実行されるルーチンである。図4のルーチンでは、内燃機関2が始動されると、まず、バックアップラムに記憶されたPMセンサの出力補正値及び、推定PM排出量の積算値が読み込まれる(S102)。出力補正値と、推定PM排出量とは、このルーチンの後述する処理により算出され、記憶される値である。
