Description

DPF再生補助装置DPF regeneration assist device
 本発明は、DPFの周辺部におけるPMの燃焼を促進するDPF再生補助装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a DPF regeneration auxiliary device that promotes the combustion of PM in the periphery of the DPF.
 ディーゼルエンジン(以下、エンジンという)が搭載された車両では、エンジンから大気までの排気ガスの排出流路に排気ガス浄化システムとしてディーゼルパティキュレートフィルタ(Diesel Particulate Filter;以下、DPFという)が設置され、このDPFに粒子状物質(Particulate Matter;以下、PMという)が捕集される。 In vehicles equipped with diesel engines (hereinafter referred to as engines), diesel particulate filters (hereinafter referred to as DPFs) are installed as exhaust gas purification systems in the exhaust gas exhaust passages from the engine to the atmosphere. Particulate matter (Particulate Matter; hereinafter referred to as PM) is collected in this DPF.
 図2に示されるように、DPF2は、多孔質のセラミック材料を集成して多数の細孔を形成した円筒状の部材であり、長手方向に排気ガスを通過させ細孔の中にPMを捕集することができる。 As shown in FIG. 2, the DPF 2 is a cylindrical member in which a porous ceramic material is assembled to form a large number of pores, and exhaust gas is passed in the longitudinal direction to trap PM in the pores. Can be collected.
 DPF2に堆積したPMの堆積量が多くなるとエンジンの排気ガス圧力が上昇しエンジンの特性低下をきたすため、PM堆積量が適宜な値になるとPMを燃焼させるDPF再生が行われる。DPF再生では、排気ガス温度を上昇させるための燃料噴射が行われる。排気ガス温度が上昇すると、排気ガスによってDPF2が加熱され、DPF2がPM燃焼温度に達するとDPF2に堆積しているPMが燃焼する。 When the amount of PM deposited on the DPF 2 increases, the exhaust gas pressure of the engine increases and the characteristics of the engine deteriorate. Therefore, when the PM accumulation amount reaches an appropriate value, DPF regeneration that burns PM is performed. In the DPF regeneration, fuel injection for increasing the exhaust gas temperature is performed. When the exhaust gas temperature rises, the DPF 2 is heated by the exhaust gas, and when the DPF 2 reaches the PM combustion temperature, the PM deposited on the DPF 2 burns.
 DPF2の上流に酸化触媒装置(Diesel Oxidation Catalyst;以下、DOCという)7が設置されている排気ガス浄化システムでは、エンジンにおける燃焼後期の燃料噴射や排気管噴射によりDOC7の上流に燃料が供給され、燃料が酸化して生じる酸化熱によりDOC7を出る排気ガス温度が上昇する。この排気ガスによってDPF2が加熱されPMが燃焼する。DOC7が設置されない排気ガス浄化システムでも、DPF再生の燃料噴射によって排気ガス温度が上昇すると、DPF2が加熱されPMが燃焼する。また、エンジンからの排気ガス温度が高いエンジン状態では、特別な燃料噴射が行われなくとも自然にDPFが再生される。 In an exhaust gas purification system in which an oxidation catalyst device (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst; hereinafter referred to as DOC) 7 is installed upstream of the DPF 2, fuel is supplied upstream of the DOC 7 by fuel injection or exhaust pipe injection in the later stage of combustion in the engine, The exhaust gas temperature that exits the DOC 7 rises due to the oxidation heat generated by the oxidation of the fuel. This exhaust gas heats the DPF 2 and burns PM. Even in the exhaust gas purification system in which the DOC 7 is not installed, when the exhaust gas temperature rises due to the DPF regeneration fuel injection, the DPF 2 is heated and PM is combusted. Further, in an engine state where the exhaust gas temperature from the engine is high, the DPF is naturally regenerated even if no special fuel injection is performed.

 DPF再生の実行中に、車両が加速走行あるいは定速走行をしている場合は、エンジンへの燃料噴射量がある程度多いので、DPF再生に必要な排気ガス温度及び排気ガス流量が維持できる。しかし、車両が減速走行になると、エンジンへの燃料噴射量が少なくなり、排気ガス温度が低下すると共に排気ガス流量が減少する。このように、DPF再生の実行中にエンジンへの燃料噴射量が少なくなると、DPF2に流れ込む熱量が不足してDPF2をPM燃焼温度に保持できなくなることがある。 When the vehicle is running at an acceleration or constant speed during execution of DPF regeneration, the amount of fuel injected into the engine is somewhat large, so that the exhaust gas temperature and exhaust gas flow rate necessary for DPF regeneration can be maintained. However, when the vehicle decelerates, the amount of fuel injected into the engine decreases, the exhaust gas temperature decreases, and the exhaust gas flow rate decreases. Thus, if the amount of fuel injected into the engine decreases during the execution of DPF regeneration, the amount of heat flowing into the DPF 2 may be insufficient and the DPF 2 may not be maintained at the PM combustion temperature.
 また、DPF再生では、DPF2内の場所によらず均一にPMが燃焼するとは限らない。仮に、DPF2内の場所によらず均一にPMが堆積していたとしても、DPF2の径方向の中心部からPMが燃え始める傾向がある。中心部のPMが燃えたことで排気ガスが通りやすくなり、中心部の近辺は温度が上がっていっそうPMが燃えやすくなる。一方、DPF2の周辺部はPMが燃えにくいので、排気ガスが通りにくい状態が続き、PMが燃え残ってしまう。特に、車両が減速走行をしている場合、排気ガス流量が少ないため、DPF2内の温度が不均一となりやすく、DPF2の周辺部はPMの燃え残りが発生しやすい。このようにして、DPF2の周辺部が低温となり中心部だけが高温となってしまうと、周辺部と中心部の温度差によるストレスが強く、あるいは中心部の温度が高温になりすぎて、最悪の場合、DPF2が破損や溶損に至ることがある。 Also, in the DPF regeneration, PM does not always burn evenly regardless of the location in the DPF 2. Even if PM is uniformly deposited regardless of the location in the DPF 2, the PM tends to start burning from the central portion in the radial direction of the DPF 2. Exhaust gas easily passes through the burning of the PM at the center, and the PM easily burns in the vicinity of the center even if the temperature rises. On the other hand, since PM does not easily burn in the peripheral portion of the DPF 2, the state where the exhaust gas does not easily pass continues and PM remains unburned. In particular, when the vehicle is traveling at a reduced speed, the exhaust gas flow rate is small, so the temperature in the DPF 2 is likely to be non-uniform, and PM remains unburned around the DPF 2. In this way, when the peripheral part of the DPF 2 becomes low temperature and only the central part becomes high temperature, the stress due to the temperature difference between the peripheral part and the central part is strong, or the temperature of the central part becomes too high, which is the worst. In some cases, the DPF 2 may be damaged or melted.
 こうしたことから、排気ガス温度が低下し排気ガス流量が減少する減速走行においてDPF2の周辺部をPM燃焼温度に保持できることが望まれる。 For these reasons, it is desirable that the periphery of the DPF 2 can be maintained at the PM combustion temperature during deceleration traveling in which the exhaust gas temperature decreases and the exhaust gas flow rate decreases.
 そこで、本発明の目的は、上記課題を解決し、DPFの周辺部におけるPMの燃焼を促進するDPF再生補助装置を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a DPF regeneration auxiliary device that solves the above-described problems and promotes the combustion of PM in the peripheral portion of the DPF.
 上記目的を達成するために本発明のDPF再生補助装置は、DPFを搭載する車両の燃料噴射によるDPF再生を補助する装置であって、前記DPFの外周に接する電熱ヒータと、DPF再生中に減速走行になると前記電熱ヒータへの通電を開始する通電制御部とを備えたものである。 In order to achieve the above object, a DPF regeneration assisting device according to the present invention assists DPF regeneration by fuel injection of a vehicle equipped with a DPF, and includes an electric heater in contact with the outer periphery of the DPF, and deceleration during DPF regeneration. An energization control unit that starts energization of the electric heater when running is provided.
 前記DPF再生補助装置は、プロペラシャフトに装着された発電機を備え、前記通電制御部は、前記発電機に前記電熱ヒータを導通させて通電を開始してもよい。 The DPF regeneration assisting device may include a generator mounted on a propeller shaft, and the energization control unit may start energization by connecting the electric heater to the generator.
 前記発電機は、前記車両を制動する際の制動エネルギで発電してもよい。 The generator may generate power with braking energy when braking the vehicle.
 前記通電制御部は、車速センサで検出される車速の時間的変化を監視し、車速が低下したとき減速と判定してもよい。 The energization control unit may monitor a temporal change in the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor, and may determine that the vehicle is decelerating when the vehicle speed decreases.

 図1に示されるように、本発明に係るDPF再生補助装置1は、DPF2の外周に接する電熱ヒータ3と、DPF再生中に減速走行になると電熱ヒータ3への通電を開始する通電制御部4とを備える。通電制御部4は、車速センサで検出される車速の時間的変化を監視し、車速が低下したとき減速と判定するようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the DPF regeneration assisting apparatus 1 according to the present invention includes an electric heater 3 in contact with the outer periphery of the DPF 2 and an energization control unit 4 that starts energizing the electric heater 3 when decelerating during DPF regeneration. With. The energization control unit 4 monitors a temporal change in the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor, and determines that the vehicle is decelerating when the vehicle speed decreases.
 DPF再生補助装置1は、さらに、車両の駆動軸であるプロペラシャフト(図示せず)に装着された発電機5を備える。発電機5と電熱ヒータ3の間には、通電制御部4によってオン・オフされる通電スイッチ6が設けられる。通電制御部4は、DPF再生中に減速走行になると通電スイッチ6をオンすることで発電機5に電熱ヒータ3を導通させて電熱ヒータ3への通電を開始することになる。 The DPF regeneration auxiliary device 1 further includes a generator 5 mounted on a propeller shaft (not shown) that is a drive shaft of the vehicle. An energization switch 6 that is turned on and off by the energization control unit 4 is provided between the generator 5 and the electric heater 3. The energization control unit 4 starts energization to the electric heater 3 by turning on the energization switch 6 to turn on the electric heater 3 by turning on the energization switch 6 when decelerating during the DPF regeneration.
 本発明が適用される車両は、従来公知のDPF再生を制御する再生制御部(図示せず)を備え、車両走行中の適切な時期に燃料噴射によるDPF再生を実施するようになっている。 A vehicle to which the present invention is applied includes a conventionally known regeneration control unit (not shown) for controlling DPF regeneration, and performs DPF regeneration by fuel injection at an appropriate time during traveling of the vehicle.
 DPF2は、DOC7と共に金属製のハウジング8に収容される。セラミック材料からなるDPF2を緩衝保護しつつハウジング8に固定するために、DPF2とハウジング8との間には、繊維材料からなるマット9が布設される。本発明では、このマット9とDPF2との間に電熱ヒータ3が設置される。 The DPF 2 is housed in a metal housing 8 together with the DOC 7. A mat 9 made of a fiber material is provided between the DPF 2 and the housing 8 in order to fix the DPF 2 made of the ceramic material to the housing 8 while protecting the buffer. In the present invention, the electric heater 3 is installed between the mat 9 and the DPF 2.
 電熱ヒータ3は、DPF2の周辺部(外周部)を加熱するためにDPF3の外周を覆うように設けられる。具体的には、電熱ヒータ3として、ヒータ用電線をDPF2の外周に螺旋状に巻いてもよいし、複数のリボン状ヒータをDPF2の周方向に巻くか長手方向に添えてもよい。 The electric heater 3 is provided so as to cover the outer periphery of the DPF 3 in order to heat the peripheral portion (outer peripheral portion) of the DPF 2. Specifically, as the electric heater 3, a heater wire may be spirally wound around the outer periphery of the DPF 2, or a plurality of ribbon heaters may be wound in the circumferential direction of the DPF 2 or attached in the longitudinal direction.
 以下、本発明のDPF再生補助装置1の動作を説明する。 Hereinafter, the operation of the DPF regeneration assisting apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described.
 車両走行中に、再生制御部がDPF再生を実施すると、DOC7の上流に燃料が供給されて、DOC7を出る排気ガス温度が上昇する。この排気ガスによってDPF2が加熱されPMが燃焼する。 When the regeneration control unit performs DPF regeneration while the vehicle is running, fuel is supplied upstream of the DOC 7 and the exhaust gas temperature exiting the DOC 7 rises. This exhaust gas heats the DPF 2 and burns PM.
 従来技術では、車両が減速走行になると、排気ガス温度が低下すると共に排気ガス流量が減少するため、DPF2がPM燃焼温度に保持できなくなることがある。特に、DPF2の周辺部はPM燃焼温度に満たなくなりPMの燃え残りが発生しやすい。 In the prior art, when the vehicle decelerates, the exhaust gas temperature decreases and the exhaust gas flow rate decreases, so that the DPF 2 may not be maintained at the PM combustion temperature. In particular, the peripheral portion of the DPF 2 is less than the PM combustion temperature, and PM remains unburned easily.
 これに対し、本発明のDPF再生補助装置1では、DPF再生中に車両が減速走行になると、通電制御部4が発電機5に電熱ヒータ3を導通させる。発電機5に負荷として電熱ヒータ3が接続されたことにより、発電機5ではプロペラシャフトの回転力(=車両の制動力)から電力が取り出され、電熱ヒータ3へ電流が流れる。このようにして、電熱ヒータ3への通電が開始されると、電熱ヒータ3の温度が上昇する。電熱ヒータ3がDPF2の外周に接しているので、DPF2の周辺部が加熱されることになる。これにより、DPF2の周辺部の温度が上昇してPM燃焼温度に保持されることになり、燃料噴射によるDPF再生が中心部のみならず、周辺部にも拡がり、DPF2の中心部と周辺部の偏り無くPMが燃えるようになる。 On the other hand, in the DPF regeneration auxiliary device 1 of the present invention, when the vehicle is decelerated during the DPF regeneration, the energization control unit 4 causes the electric heater 3 to conduct to the generator 5. By connecting the electric heater 3 as a load to the generator 5, electric power is taken out from the rotational force of the propeller shaft (= braking force of the vehicle) in the generator 5, and current flows to the electric heater 3. In this way, when energization to the electric heater 3 is started, the temperature of the electric heater 3 rises. Since the electric heater 3 is in contact with the outer periphery of the DPF 2, the peripheral portion of the DPF 2 is heated. As a result, the temperature of the peripheral portion of the DPF 2 rises and is maintained at the PM combustion temperature, and the DPF regeneration by the fuel injection spreads not only in the central portion but also in the peripheral portion, and between the central portion and the peripheral portion of the DPF 2 PM starts to burn without bias.
 電熱ヒータ3へ通電中に、車両が停止するか、加速走行に転じたときは、電熱ヒータ3を発電機5から遮断するとよい。また、電熱ヒータ3へ通電中に、DPF再生が終了したときは、電熱ヒータ3を発電機5から遮断するとよい。 When the vehicle stops or turns to accelerated running while the electric heater 3 is energized, the electric heater 3 may be cut off from the generator 5. Further, when the DPF regeneration is completed while the electric heater 3 is energized, the electric heater 3 may be shut off from the generator 5.
 以上説明したように、本発明のDPF再生補助装置1によれば、DPF再生中に減速走行になると電熱ヒータ3への通電を開始してDPF2の周辺部の温度を上昇させるので、DPF2の周辺部におけるPMの燃焼を促進し、PMを残留なく燃焼させることができる。この結果、DPF2の破損や溶損を防止すると共に、DPF再生の実施時間間隔を長くすることができる。 As described above, according to the DPF regeneration assisting apparatus 1 of the present invention, when the vehicle runs at a reduced speed during DPF regeneration, energization of the electric heater 3 is started and the temperature of the peripheral portion of the DPF 2 is increased. The combustion of PM in the section can be promoted, and PM can be burned without remaining. As a result, the DPF 2 can be prevented from being damaged or melted, and the time interval for performing the DPF regeneration can be lengthened.
 本発明は、電熱ヒータ3への通電をバッテリから行っても実施できる。ただし、本発明で電熱ヒータ3への通電が必要になるのは減速走行時であるから、プロペラシャフトに装着された発電機5において車両を制動する際の制動エネルギで発電する形態が好適である。 The present invention can be carried out even when the electric heater 3 is energized from a battery. However, in the present invention, it is necessary to energize the electric heater 3 at the time of decelerating traveling. Therefore, a mode is preferable in which the generator 5 mounted on the propeller shaft generates power with braking energy when braking the vehicle. .
 本発明は、エンジンのみで走行する車両はもちろん、エンジンとモータを組み合わせて走行するハイブリッド車両でも適用できる。制動時に回生発電を行うハイブリッド車両では発電機5が省略できる。 The present invention can be applied not only to a vehicle that runs only by an engine, but also to a hybrid vehicle that runs by combining an engine and a motor. In the hybrid vehicle that performs regenerative power generation during braking, the generator 5 can be omitted.
