 次に、本実施の形態に係る判定装置100の構成について、図2を用いて説明する。図2は、判定装置100の構成例を示すブロック図である。 Next, the configuration of the determination device 100 according to this embodiment will be described using FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the determination device 100.
 図示は省略するが、判定装置100は、ハードウェアとして、例えば、CPU(Central Processing Unit)、コンピュータプログラムを格納したROM(Read Only Memory)、作業用メモリであるRAM(Random Access Memory)等を有する。以下に説明する判定装置100の各機能は、CPUがROMから読み出したコンピュータプログラムをRAMにて実行することにより実現される。判定装置100は、例えば、ECU(Electronic Control Unit)によって実現されてもよい。 Although not shown, the determination device 100 includes, as hardware, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory) that stores a computer program, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that is a working memory, etc. . Each function of the determination device 100 described below is realized by the CPU executing a computer program read from the ROM in the RAM. The determination device 100 may be realized by, for example, an ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
 図2に示すように、判定装置100は、入力部110、判定部120、出力部130を有する。 As shown in FIG. 2, the determination device 100 includes an input section 110, a determination section 120, and an output section 130.
 入力部110は、差圧センサ6から差圧情報を取得する。 The input unit 110 acquires differential pressure information from the differential pressure sensor 6.
 また、入力部110は、PMセンサ7から粒子状物質量情報を取得する。 Additionally, the input unit 110 acquires particulate matter amount information from the PM sensor 7.
 判定部120は、差圧情報に示される検知差圧が、予め定められた差圧(以下、設定差圧という。第1閾値の一例)未満であるか否かを判定する。設定差圧は、エンジンの回転数に応じて定められた差圧である。 The determination unit 120 determines whether the detected differential pressure indicated by the differential pressure information is less than a predetermined differential pressure (hereinafter referred to as a set differential pressure; an example of a first threshold value). The set differential pressure is a differential pressure determined according to the engine speed.
 検知差圧が設定差圧未満である場合、判定部120は、粒子状物質量情報に示される検知PM量が予め定められたPM量(以下、設定PM量という。第2閾値の一例)未満であるか否かを判定する。 When the detected differential pressure is less than the set differential pressure, the determination unit 120 determines that the detected PM amount indicated in the particulate matter amount information is less than a predetermined PM amount (hereinafter referred to as set PM amount; an example of a second threshold value). Determine whether or not.
 検知PM量が設定PM量未満である場合、判定部120は、差圧センサ6が故障していると判定する。 If the detected PM amount is less than the set PM amount, the determination unit 120 determines that the differential pressure sensor 6 is malfunctioning.
 一方、検知PM量が設定PM量未満ではない場合、判定部120は、DPF3が排気管1から取り外されていると判定する。 On the other hand, if the detected PM amount is not less than the set PM amount, the determination unit 120 determines that the DPF 3 is removed from the exhaust pipe 1.
 なお、設定差圧および設定PM量は、例えば、シミュレーションの結果、または、実機(例えば、エンジンおよび排ガス浄化システム10)による評価等に基づいて、予め定められる。 Note that the set differential pressure and the set PM amount are determined in advance based on, for example, simulation results or evaluation using actual equipment (for example, the engine and the exhaust gas purification system 10).
 出力部130は、判定部120による判定結果(差圧センサ6の故障、または、DPF3の取り外しのいずれか)を示す判定結果情報を、所定装置(図示略)へ出力する。そして、所定装置は、判定結果情報の報知を行う。 The output unit 130 outputs determination result information indicating the determination result by the determination unit 120 (either failure of the differential pressure sensor 6 or removal of the DPF 3) to a predetermined device (not shown). Then, the predetermined device notifies the determination result information.
 例えば、排ガス浄化システム10が移動体に搭載されている場合、所定装置としては、その移動体に搭載された報知デバイス(例えば、ランプ、ディスプレイ、スピーカ等)、または、移動体の外部に設置されたコンピュータ(例えば、サーバ等)が挙げられる。また、例えば、ディスプレイやコンピュータに出力される判定結果情報は、数字やアルファベットの組み合わせからなるコードを示す情報であってもよい。 For example, when the exhaust gas purification system 10 is mounted on a moving body, the predetermined device may be a notification device (for example, a lamp, a display, a speaker, etc.) mounted on the moving body, or a notification device installed outside the moving body. computer (for example, server, etc.). Further, for example, the determination result information output to a display or a computer may be information indicating a code consisting of a combination of numbers or alphabets.
 以上、判定装置100の構成について説明した。 The configuration of the determination device 100 has been described above.
 次に、判定装置100の動作について、図3を用いて説明する。図3は、判定装置100の動作例を示すフローチャートである。図3に示すフローは、例えば、エンジンの始動後に開始される。 Next, the operation of the determination device 100 will be explained using FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the determination device 100. The flow shown in FIG. 3 is started, for example, after starting the engine.
 まず、入力部110は、差圧情報および粒子状物質量情報を取得する(ステップS1)。 First, the input unit 110 acquires differential pressure information and particulate matter amount information (step S1).
 次に、判定部120は、差圧情報に示される検知差圧が設定差圧未満であるか否かを判定する(ステップS2)。 Next, the determination unit 120 determines whether the detected differential pressure indicated by the differential pressure information is less than the set differential pressure (step S2).
 検知差圧が設定差圧未満ではない場合(ステップS2:NO)、フローは終了する。この場合、再度、フローは、ステップS1から開始される。 If the detected differential pressure is not less than the set differential pressure (step S2: NO), the flow ends. In this case, the flow starts again from step S1.
 一方、検知差圧が設定差圧未満である場合(ステップS2:YES)、判定部120は、粒子状物質量情報に示される検知PM量が設定PM量未満であるか否かを判定する(ステップS3)。 On the other hand, if the detected differential pressure is less than the set differential pressure (step S2: YES), the determination unit 120 determines whether the detected PM amount indicated in the particulate matter amount information is less than the set PM amount ( Step S3).
 検知PM量が設定PM量未満である場合(ステップS3:YES)、判定部120は、差圧センサ6が故障していると判定する(ステップS4)。 If the detected PM amount is less than the set PM amount (step S3: YES), the determination unit 120 determines that the differential pressure sensor 6 is malfunctioning (step S4).
 一方、検知PM量が設定PM量未満ではない場合(ステップS3:NO)、判定部120は、排気管1からDPF3が取り外されていると判定する(ステップS5)。 On the other hand, if the detected PM amount is not less than the set PM amount (step S3: NO), the determination unit 120 determines that the DPF 3 is removed from the exhaust pipe 1 (step S5).
 次に、出力部130は、判定結果情報を所定装置へ出力する(ステップS6)。その後、所定装置は、判定結果情報の報知を行う。これにより、差圧センサ6の故障、または、DPF3の取り外しのいずれかが報知される。 Next, the output unit 130 outputs the determination result information to a predetermined device (step S6). Thereafter, the predetermined device notifies the determination result information. Thereby, either a failure of the differential pressure sensor 6 or removal of the DPF 3 is notified.
 以上、判定装置100の動作について説明した。 The operation of the determination device 100 has been described above.
 ここまで詳述したように、本実施の形態の判定装置100は、検知差圧が設定差圧未満である場合に、検知PM量が設定PM量未満であるか否かを判定し、検知PM量が設定PM量未満である場合、差圧センサ6が故障していると判定し、検知PM量が設定PM量未満ではない場合、DPF3が排気管1から取り外されていると判定することを特徴とする。これにより、ユーザが差圧センサの故障または排ガス浄化部材の取り外しを認識することができる。 As described in detail so far, when the detected differential pressure is less than the set differential pressure, the determination device 100 determines whether the detected PM amount is less than the set PM amount, and If the amount is less than the set PM amount, it is determined that the differential pressure sensor 6 is malfunctioning, and if the detected PM amount is not less than the set PM amount, it is determined that the DPF 3 is removed from the exhaust pipe 1.

 具体的には、まず、入力部110が検知排圧を示す情報を差圧センサ6から取得し、次に、判定部120が、検知排圧が設定排圧以上であると判定した場合に、図3に示すフローが開始されてもよい。なお、検知排圧は、差圧センサ6とは別に設けられた排圧センサ(図示略)によって検知されてもよい。 Specifically, first, the input unit 110 acquires information indicating the detected exhaust pressure from the differential pressure sensor 6, and then, when the determination unit 120 determines that the detected exhaust pressure is equal to or higher than the set exhaust pressure, The flow shown in FIG. 3 may be initiated. Note that the detected exhaust pressure may be detected by an exhaust pressure sensor (not shown) provided separately from the differential pressure sensor 6.
 なお、上記設定排圧は、エンジンの回転数に応じて定められた排圧である。設定排圧は、例えば、シミュレーションの結果、または、実機(例えば、エンジンおよび排ガス浄化システム10)による評価等に基づいて、予め定められる。 Note that the above-mentioned set exhaust pressure is an exhaust pressure determined according to the engine rotation speed. The set exhaust pressure is determined in advance based on, for example, simulation results or evaluation using actual equipment (eg, engine and exhaust gas purification system 10).
