Or when the fluctuation in the value output from the liquid level sensor 52 falls within a predetermined range at a predetermined ratio or more, for example, as shown in FIG. When no change is observed, it may be determined that an abnormality has occurred in the liquid level sensor 52 due to unauthorized modification or the like.
  • the reducing agent injection device capable of determining in a short time whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the liquid level sensor 52 based on the signal output from the liquid level sensor 52. 20 is provided.
  • the control device 100 determines whether or not the signal obtained from the liquid level sensor 52 and obtained by the control device 100 fluctuates in a predetermined time in a state where the liquid level of the urea aqueous solution stored in the storage tank 50 can be swung. Then, it is determined whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the liquid level sensor 52.
  • control device 100 determines whether the level of the urea aqueous solution stored in the storage tank 50 can be fluctuated and the state of the signal output from the liquid level sensor 52. For example, it is possible to determine in a short time whether or not an abnormality has occurred due to unauthorized modification or the like that does not output the remaining amount of the true urea aqueous solution as shown in FIG.
  • the control device 100 acquires a value from the liquid level sensor 52 in a state where the liquid level of the urea aqueous solution stored in the storage tank 50 can oscillate, and the occurrence of abnormality in the liquid level sensor 52 is detected. Since the presence or absence is determined, it can be determined in a short time whether or not an abnormality has occurred in the liquid level sensor 52 regardless of the form of the liquid level sensor 52.
  • the control device 100 determines whether or not an abnormality has occurred for a short time even when the liquid level sensor 52 fails and always outputs a constant value. Can be determined.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection d'anomalie de capteur de niveau de liquide et un procédé de détection d'anomalie permettant de détecter rapidement si oui ou non une anomalie s'est produite dans un capteur de niveau de liquide, qui est disposé dans un réservoir de stockage stockant un agent de réduction à injecter dans un passage de gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne, et qui détecte une quantité résiduelle d'un additif. Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif de détection d'anomalie de capteur de niveau de liquide qui est disposé dans un réservoir de stockage stockant un agent de réduction à injecter dans un passage de gaz d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne, et qui détecte des anomalies se produisant dans le capteur de niveau de liquide, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend : une unité d'acquisition de signal qui acquiert un signal délivré en sortie par le capteur de niveau de liquide; et une unité d'évaluation qui, si certaines conditions de détection sont satisfaites, utilise le signal acquis par l'unité d'acquisition de signal pour évaluer si oui ou non une anomalie s'est produite dans le capteur de niveau de liquide.
