なお、上記の実施形態では経過時間Tosc(Tosaおよび/またはTopa)が触媒後空燃比AFRdに基づいて求められるものとして説明したが、本発明はこれのみに限定されるものではなく、O2センサの出力電圧に基づいて求めるようにしても良い。
ΔAFR=│AFRu_ave-AFRd_ave│ …(1)
M'O2=(MO2×NE)/120 …(2)
OSA(g)=M'O2×Tosa …(3)
OPA(g)=M'O2×Topa …(4)

前記触媒の酸素吸蔵能力を計算する手段は、前記経過時間に基づいて触媒の酸化雰囲気における酸素放出量(OPA)を計算(18)することを特徴とする請求項1または2に記載の触媒診断装置。 - 前記燃料噴射量を制御する前に、触媒前の空燃比をストイキ領域に所定の期間だけ制御する手段(12)をさらに具備したことを特徴とする請求項1ないし3のいずれかに記載の触媒診断装置。
- 前記触媒の酸素吸蔵能力を計算する手段は、
前記経過時間内に各センサが検知した空燃比の平均値の差分を算出する手段(14)と、
エンジンの1サイクル当たりの燃料重量を計算する手段(15)と、
エンジン回転数を算出する手段(16)とを具備し、
触媒の酸素吸蔵能力を、前記空燃比の平均値の差分、燃料重量、エンジン回転数および経過時間の関数として計算することを特徴とする請求項1ないし4のいずれかに記載の触媒診断装置。
