Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exhaust purification device for an internal combustion engine.
- Patent Document 1 describes that a solid reducing agent is stored, and the solid reducing agent is vaporized by the heat of exhaust gas and then supplied to the selective reduction type NOx catalyst.
- Patent Document 2 describes that after a solid reducing agent is heated and vaporized, this gaseous reducing agent is supplied to the selective reduction type NOx catalyst. Furthermore, it describes that the remaining amount of the reducing agent is detected based on the pressure of the reducing agent. Then, it is determined that the higher the pressure, the larger the remaining amount of the reducing agent, and the lower the pressure, the smaller the remaining amount of the reducing agent.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to more accurately detect leakage of a reducing agent.
- an exhaust gas purification apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises: A selective reduction type NOx catalyst that is provided in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and selectively reduces NOx by supplying a reducing agent; A tank for storing the reducing agent; A reducing agent passage connecting the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and the tank; An injection device that opens when supplying the reducing agent from the reducing agent passage to the exhaust passage and closes when stopping the supply of the reducing agent;
- a pressure detecting device provided between the tank and the injection device for detecting the pressure of the reducing agent;
- a temperature detection device provided between the tank and the injection device for detecting the temperature of the reducing agent; The saturated vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature of the reducing agent detected by the temperature detection device when the injection device is closed, and the pressure of the reducing agent detected by the pressure detection device when the injection device is closed
- a pressure detecting device provided between the tank and the injection device for detecting the temperature of the reducing agent
- the reducing agent stored in the tank may be in a solid or liquid state. Further, the reducing agent may be in a state of being adsorbed or occluded by another substance (for example, a reducing agent storage alloy, an adsorbent, or an occlusion material).
- a reducing agent storage alloy for example, a reducing agent storage alloy, an adsorbent, or an occlusion material.
- the reducing agent is stored in a solid or liquid state
- the reducing agent is vaporized before the reducing agent is supplied from the injection device to the exhaust passage.
- the reducing agent is adsorbed or occluded by another substance
- the reducing agent is released from the other substance before the reducing agent is supplied from the injection device to the exhaust passage.
- the pressure detection device or the temperature detection device can detect the pressure or temperature in any of the tank, the reducing agent passage, and the injection device.
- the injection device when the injection device is closed, if there is no leakage of the reducing agent and the temperature does not change, it will be in an equilibrium state after a sufficient amount of time has elapsed, and in the reducing agent passage between the tank and the injection device.
- the pressure is constant.
- the pressure at this time is a saturated vapor pressure.
- the saturated vapor pressure of the reducing agent is determined according to the temperature. That is, if the temperature of the reducing agent is detected, the saturated vapor pressure of the reducing agent is known, and therefore the pressure between the tank and the injection device when there is no leakage of the reducing agent is known.
- the pressure from the tank to the injection device decreases, so the pressure detected by the pressure detection device is saturated steam. Lower than pressure. Therefore, it can be determined whether or not the reducing agent is leaking according to the difference between the saturated vapor pressure and the detected pressure. For example, when the difference between the saturated vapor pressure and the detected pressure value is equal to or greater than a threshold value, it may be determined that the reducing agent is leaking. Further, whether or not the reducing agent is leaking may be determined based on the ratio between the saturated vapor pressure and the detected pressure value.
- a correction unit may be provided that corrects the saturated vapor pressure to be lower as the amount of the reducing agent in the tank is smaller.
- the pressure between the tank and the injection device decreases even if there is no leakage of the reducing agent. Become. That is, the pressure in the equilibrium state is lowered. Therefore, in accordance with the decrease in pressure, the pressure that serves as a criterion for determination is decreased. Thereby, even if the amount of the reducing agent decreases, it can be more accurately determined whether or not the reducing agent is leaking.
- a heating device for heating the reducing agent stored in the tank When determining whether or not the reducing agent is leaking by the determination device, the heating device can increase the temperature of the reducing agent when the amount of the reducing agent in the tank is small than when it is large. .
- the temperature of the reducing agent rises and the pressure of the reducing agent also rises.
- the pressure of the reducing agent decreases, so that even if there is a leak, the difference in pressure detected by the detection device is small. If it does so, there exists a possibility that the determination precision by a determination apparatus may become low.
- the pressure of a reducing agent can be made high by heating a reducing agent. Thereby, the pressure used as the reference
- the temperature of the reducing agent may be increased as the amount of the reducing agent is smaller. Further, the temperature of the reducing agent may be increased stepwise as the amount of the reducing agent decreases.
- the determination device can perform the determination when the amount of change in the pressure of the reducing agent stored in the tank is equal to or less than a threshold value.
- Threshold here refers to the range where the pressure can be said to be substantially constant. That is, the determination by the determination device is performed when there is no change in pressure or it can be said that there is no change in pressure.
- the pressure in the reducing agent passage decreases or pressure pulsation occurs. If the leakage of the reducing agent is determined based on the pressure detected at such time, the accuracy may be lowered. On the other hand, the determination accuracy can be improved by performing the determination when the pressure change amount is equal to or less than the threshold value.
- the leakage of the reducing agent can be detected more accurately.

Therefore, when there is no leakage of the reducing agent when the temperature of the reducing agent is a value indicated by A, the pressure of the reducing agent becomes a value indicated by B. On the other hand, when there is leakage of the reducing agent, the pressure is reduced by the amount of leakage of the reducing agent. For this reason, the pressure of a reducing agent becomes a value shown by C lower than the value shown by B, for example.

を備え、
前記還元剤通路から前記排気通路へ気体の還元剤を供給する内燃機関の排気浄化装置において、
前記タンクから前記噴射装置までの間に設けられ、還元剤の圧力を検出する圧力検出装置と、
前記タンクから前記噴射装置までの間に設けられ、還元剤の温度を検出する温度検出装置と、
前記噴射装置が閉じているときの前記温度検出装置により検出される還元剤の温度に対応する飽和蒸気圧と、前記噴射装置が閉じているときの前記圧力検出装置により検出される還元剤の圧力と、の差に応じて、還元剤が漏れているか否か判定する判定装置と、
を備える。
前記判定装置により還元剤が漏れているか否か判定する場合に、前記加熱装置は、前記タンク内の還元剤の量が少ないときは、多いときよりも、還元剤の温度を高くすることができる。
