Exhaust emission control apparatus for internal combustion engine
Abstract
To accomplish an optimum regeneration operation of an exhaust emission control apparatus (124), the quantity of nitrogen oxide (C) absorbed in catalysts (125, 812) and an exhaust gas temperature (T) are predicted on the basis of future driving condition information obtained from a car navigation system (141, 841), etc., and an appropriate time for regeneration is determined at which the absorption quantity of the catalysts (125, 812) is expected to be large and the exhaust gas temperature (T) is expected to be in a predetermined temperature range. When the time for regeneration is reached, the exhaust gas is made rich and the nitrogen oxides are emitted from the catalyst (125, 812) to regenerate the catalyst. The nitrogen oxides emitted from the catalyst (125, 812) are reduced to innoxious substances by unburnt hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas, etc. When this apparatus is applied to a particulate filter (814) of a diesel engine, the chance of operation for raising the exhaust gas temperature (T) decreases, so that deterioration of the fuel cost can be restricted.

0001Exhaust-air-purification device of a specification internal-combustion engine Technical field
0002The present invention is poisonous Formation in relation, especially exhaust gas to the purifying facility of an internal-combustion engine. To the purifying facility of the internal-combustion engine which does catching and storage of a part, and performs reproduction operation periodically A leap is carried out.
0003Background art
0004Exhaust-air-purification device for purifying the exhaust gas discharged from an internal-combustion engine If it carries out, various kinds of forms are used according to the quality of exhaust gas, but the poisonous ingredient in exhaust gas is caught, and it is Regenerative operation for every suitable time interval after a subject. There are many for which Work is needed.
0005for example, Gaso the Lynn organization and most of operating periods especially except the time of acceleration, etc. -- it is -- Lee Gaso which performs A combustion As the object for Lynn organizations Lee under A combustion -- nitrogen an oxide is absorbed -- short-time Li Nitrogen oxide caught by A touch combustion (refer to international publication W 0 9 3 / 0 7 3 6 No. 3) as which the exhaust-air-purification device to emit is already proposed.
0006the operating period of the exhaust-air-purification device concerning the above-mentioned proposal and most is occupied Li 1 the nitrogen oxide contained during A combustion at exhaust gas -- an exhaust-air-purification device -- built-in -- Absorb to a To be absorbent. It is fuel when it is judged that absorptance declined. It increases and he is Li about the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas. It is considered as Tsuchi and is nitrogen oxide from an absorbent. Reproduction operation to emit is performed. in addition -- being emitted by reproduction operation -- nitrogen an oxide -- an air-fuel ratio -- Li the inside of the exhaust gas which is Tsuchi -- unburnt hydrocarbon -- being returned by Carbon monoxide -- nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide, and water -- Translate Since Conversion is carried out, it is not directly emitted to the atmosphere. However, the inhalation air content and opportunity * proportional to the amount of nitrogen dioxide in exhaust gas Accumulation value of the product of load, Or it is simplified more and is an accumulation value of the number of rotations of an organization. It is based and the surplus absorptance of an absorbent is evaluated, Surplus absorptance is a predetermined value. When it is judged that it fell to below, fuel quantity is increased, and it is an exhaust-air-purification device. When reproduction operation is performed, depending on the temperature of exhaust gas, it is nitrogen oxidization. It is unavoidable that a thing is revealed into the atmosphere.
0007That is, he is Li from Lean about an air-fuel ratio. Absorbent Cfa - is also by the case where it switches to Tsuchi. eta eta and II -- Before becoming I I = (- I - / 7 * Osuna I) A touch, it is not returned completely but nitrogen oxide discharges nitrogen oxide. There is a possibility that it may be carried out.
0008however, Li of this air-fuel ratio Nitrogen oxidization at the time of the change to Lean from Tsuchi Switch the amount of discharge of a thing and size comes to the temperature of the absorbent at the time. Dependence is carried out -- absorbent temperature -- 2 0 If it is below 0 °C, it will become zero mostly about the amount of discharge of nitrogen oxide. Things are known.
0009then, temperature of these people and an absorbent (or temperature of exhaust gas) the time of going up more than a renewable temperature -- an absorbent -- surplus absorptance -- an owner -- As long as it is carrying out, stopping reproduction operation has also already proposed.
0010However, reproduction of an exhaust-air-purification device based on the temperature of the present absorbent Operation will not necessarily become the optimal.
0011namely It is Gasoline about the regenerating period of an exhaust-air-purification device. Accumulation value of the number of rotations of a A organization Even if it is a case where it controls in consideration of the temperature of the present exhaust gas in addition - When exhaust gas temperature rises abruptly during reproduction of an exhaust-air-purification device being alike -- exhaust air Ga When A temperature changes suddenly, disclosure into the atmosphere of nitrogen oxide occurs. there is fear -- temperature which can reproduce exhaust gas temperature during nitrogen oxide absorption the time of becoming a range -- an air-fuel ratio -- Li in order to consider it as A touch -- unnecessary -- Consumed fuel There is also a possibility that the amount of charges may increase.
0012On the other hand, as an exhaust-air-purification device for diesel engines, it is in exhaust gas. Patty contained Curate (carbon grain) Patty who catches Cue Leh Taffy (refer to provisional-publication-of-a-patent common 113 1 8 7 1 No. 5 gazette) as which the exhaust-air-purification device which reproduces the Le evening periodically is proposed.
0013That is, also in a Gel [ Di - ] organization, it exhausts before air discharge of exhaust gas. PATHECRAY in gas In order to remove A, he is Patty to an exhaust system. Kiyure 1 taffy Although the Le evening is installed, Patty Cue Leh Toff Collecting capacity of the A ring evening there is a limitation in power -- suitable Thailand ming -- Patekyu Leh A -- To remove
0014: It Z Carries out and is ', Les-
0015o
0016With then, the exhaust-air-purification device concerning the above-mentioned proposal, Exhaust gas temperature is high temperature. Pastilles when it becomes Les 1 It is Patti about removal by natural combustion of A. Dure Toff This which supports a catalyst in Ilta Come out as you promote. To, the time of exhaust gas temperature not being high temperature so much -- Patty Curie Taffy installing an oxidation catalyst in the Ruta upper stream -- nitric oxide in exhaust gas -- nitrogen dioxide after converting -- nitrogen dioxide and Patty Cue Leh making A react -- Patty Cue Leh This which carries out combustion removal of the To -- it is proposed.
0017However, This which has the conversion to nitrogen dioxide from nitric oxide by an oxidation catalyst, and exhaust gas temperature in prescribed temperature within the limits Since it is needed, it exhausts. He is Patty when gas temperature is out of the prescribed temperature range. Cue Leh A is burned. This to remove It cannot do.
0018Then, exhaust gas temperature from the number of rotations and load of a Gel [ Di - ] organization When it is judged that it is out of the prescribed temperature range, light-oil Pana It spreads. Heating by the electric Hee evening, air intake iris diaphragms, or such combination intermediary exhaust gas temperature is raised to prescribed temperature within the limits -- Patty Cury burn of To which promotes glow removal it burns -- it is proposed by coming out.
0019However, since the present exhaust gas is outside the prescribed temperature range, it is Light. Exhaust gas is prescribed temperature after it was judged that heating by oil Pana etc. was required. He is Patty without heating according to [ shift to within the limits and ] light-oil Pana etc. Cue Leh A It is in a Noodle case for combustion removal to be possible, It is specific fuel consumption because of unnecessary heating. Worsening This It is unavoidable. The indication of an invention
0020then, the object of the present invention and car navigation Gucci Profit from System etc. This which predicts the state of the exhaust gas after this time based on To be information Be alike. Ri, This which performs optimal reproduction operation in which specific fuel consumption does not get worse tau Chi gamma iota** Moth w Emissions^* shade Ancestral - A According to the present invention Detrimental constituent in the exhaust gas discharged from an internal-combustion engine A catching means to catch, It is this Trapping about the detrimental constituent caught by this catching means. Elimination means removed from a collection means, this time or later -- from an internal-combustion engine -- discharge -- The amount prediction means of exhaust gas states which predicts the quantity of state of To be exhaust gas, this -- Are based on the quantity of state of the exhaust gas predicted by the amount prediction means of exhaust gas states. Regenerating period determination determination hand of determining the regenerating period of the catching means by an elimination means Stage, It reached at the regenerating period determined by this regenerating period determination determination means. The exhaust gas purifying facility possessing the reproduction execution means which sometimes performs reproduction of the catching means by an elimination means is provided.
