Description

  The present invention provides a filter that captures particulate matter contained in exhaust gas and an oxidation catalyst that generates highly active nitrogen dioxide from nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas upstream of the filter from the combustion chamber. The present invention relates to an engine provided in an exhaust path for discharging the exhaust gas.

  In an engine having a filter that captures particulate matter (hereinafter referred to as PM) contained in exhaust gas, PM accumulates on the filter as the operation time elapses. If PM accumulates excessively on the filter, starting failure or engine stall may occur. In addition, when excessively accumulated PM is removed by an oxidation reaction, the filter temperature may rise abnormally, which may break the filter. For this reason, before PM accumulates excessively, it is necessary to remove PM from a filter timely. Removing PM by an oxidation reaction is called “regeneration”.

  Regeneration is performed by increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas. In a high temperature state, unburned PM is burned. In order to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas, the engine speed is increased or fuel is mixed into the exhaust gas. When the engine speed increases, the combustion reaction in the combustion chamber becomes active, so the temperature of the exhaust gas increases. Further, when the fuel is mixed in the exhaust gas, the mixed fuel burns and the temperature of the exhaust gas rises.

  In order to mix fuel in exhaust gas, post injection is generally performed. Post injection refers to fuel injection after the end of the combustion stroke. Although it is desirable that the entire amount of post-injected fuel be exhausted with the exhaust gas, some fuel remains in the combustion chamber. This fuel is dripped into the oil pan as the piston reciprocates to dilute the engine oil. As a result, the life of the engine oil may be shortened. On the other hand, part of the fuel discharged from the combustion chamber may remain in the exhaust gas without being burned, and the exhaust gas may turn into blue and white smoke.

  Therefore, it is desirable to regenerate the filter while suppressing post injection as much as possible. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique that enables regeneration when the temperature of exhaust gas is as low as about 300 ° C. Specifically, an oxidation catalyst is disposed on the upstream side of the filter in order to change nitrogen oxide in the exhaust gas to highly active nitrogen dioxide. Since highly active nitrogen dioxide strongly oxidizes PM, the filter is regenerated in a low temperature environment of about 300 ° C. According to Patent Document 1, it is not necessary to increase the temperature of the exhaust gas to a high temperature of about 600 ° C. by using post injection for regeneration, and it is sufficient that the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds about 300 ° C. For this reason, in an engine with a heavy work load, the temperature of the exhaust gas reaches about 300 ° C. in a normal use state, so that the filter can be regenerated without performing post injection. Further, since the temperature required for regeneration is about 300 ° C., even in a light work area, for example, by restricting the intake air to suppress the flow of outside air, the temperature of the exhaust gas is raised to the activation temperature of the oxidation catalyst. it can. For this reason, the filter can be regenerated.

  Patent Document 2 also discloses a technique for regenerating a filter using an oxidation catalyst. The engine disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes a temperature sensor (paragraph 0020) arranged at the outlet of the oxidation catalyst, and means (paragraph 0030) for detecting the active state of the oxidation catalyst based on the detected temperature. .

(Configuration of engine according to this embodiment)
An engine 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The engine 1 is preferably mounted on a work vehicle such as a backhoe or a tractor.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of the engine 1. The engine 1 includes an intake pipe 2, an intake manifold 3, a cylinder block 4, an exhaust manifold 5, an exhaust pipe 6, a DPF unit 7, an EGR pipe 8, an intake valve 9, an EGR valve 10, a supercharger 11, a crankshaft 12, fuel An injection device 13, a rotation speed input device 14, a warning device 15, an emergency regeneration command input device 16, and an ECU 17 are provided.

  The engine 1 has four cylinders. For this reason, the cylinder block 4 has four combustion chambers 18.

  The intake pipe 2 and the intake manifold 3 constitute an intake path for supplying intake gas to each combustion chamber 18. Corresponding to the driving of the engine 1, outside air is taken into the intake pipe 2 as intake gas. The intake valve 9 determines the opening degree of the intake pipe 2 on the upstream side of the EGR pipe 8.

  The exhaust manifold 5, the exhaust pipe 6, and the DPF unit 7 constitute an exhaust path for exhausting exhaust gas from each combustion chamber 18.

  The DPF unit 7 includes a filter 19 and an oxidation catalyst 20. The filter 19 captures PM contained in the exhaust gas. The oxidation catalyst 20 generates highly active nitrogen dioxide from nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas. The oxidation catalyst 20 is disposed on the upstream side of the filter 19 in the exhaust path.

  The EGR pipe 8 has an inlet 8 a that opens to the exhaust manifold 5 and an outlet 8 b that opens to the intake pipe 2, and connects the exhaust manifold 5 to the intake pipe 2. The EGR pipe 8 includes a heat exchanger 21 through which engine coolant passes. The heat exchanger 21 cools the exhaust gas that passes through the EGR pipe 8. The EGR valve 10 determines the opening degree of the EGR pipe 8. When the EGR valve 10 is opened, the exhaust gas merges with the outside air that passes through the intake pipe 2. For this reason, the intake gas is composed of outside air and exhaust gas on the downstream side of the outlet 8b.

  The supercharger 11 includes an exhaust turbine 11 a disposed in the exhaust pipe 6 and a compressor 11 b disposed in the intake pipe 2. The exhaust turbine 11a is driven by the exhaust gas, and the compressor 11b is driven by the exhaust turbine 11a. As a result, the intake gas is compressed.

  The fuel injection device 13 employs a common rail system and supplies fuel to each combustion chamber 18. In this embodiment, the fuel injection device 13 can perform regular injection for supplying fuel for the combustion stroke and post-injection for injecting fuel after the combustion stroke. For this reason, the fuel injection device 13 serves as both the first fuel injection device and the second fuel injection device. Here, the first fuel injection device supplies fuel into the combustion chamber 18. The second fuel injection device supplies fuel into the exhaust path upstream of the filter 19 in order to raise the temperature of the filter 19 by exhaust gas combustion.

  The rotational speed input device 14 is an operating device for designating a target rotational speed of the engine rotational speed. In the present embodiment, the rotational speed input device 14 refers to an accelerator lever group that changes the operating state of the engine 1.

  The warning device 15 executes various warnings to the driver. In the present embodiment, the warning device 15 includes a large number of lamp groups that can display a plurality of different warnings.

  The emergency regeneration command input device 16 is an operation device for inputting a command for executing emergency regeneration. In the present embodiment, the emergency regeneration command input device 16 is a push button that can specify a command “present” state and a command “none” state. The contents of emergency reproduction will be described later.

  The ECU (engine control unit) controls various devices related to the operation of the engine 1.

  In FIG. 1, the engine 1 includes an environmental temperature sensor 31, an intake air temperature sensor 32, an exhaust gas temperature sensor 33, an inlet temperature sensor 34, an outlet temperature sensor 35, and an EGR temperature sensor 36.

  The environmental temperature sensor 31 detects the environmental temperature T1. The environmental temperature T1 is the temperature of the intake gas flowing through the intake passage (2, 3) on the upstream side of the compressor 11b and the outlet 8b. The environmental temperature T1 is substantially equal to the temperature of the outside air.

  The intake air temperature sensor 32 detects the intake air temperature T2. The intake air temperature T2 is the temperature of the intake gas flowing through the intake passage (2, 3) on the downstream side of the compressor 11b and the outlet 8b.

  The exhaust temperature sensor 33 detects the exhaust temperature T3. The exhaust temperature T3 is the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage (5, 6) on the upstream side of the exhaust turbine 11a.

  The inlet temperature sensor 34 detects the inlet temperature T4. The inlet temperature T4 is the temperature of the exhaust gas at the inlet of the oxidation catalyst 20. The position where the inlet temperature T4 is detected is an arbitrary position in the exhaust path (5, 6) on the downstream side of the exhaust turbine 11a and the upstream side of the oxidation catalyst 20.

  The outlet temperature sensor 35 detects the outlet temperature T5. The outlet temperature T5 is the temperature of the exhaust gas at the outlet of the oxidation catalyst 20. The position at which the outlet temperature T5 is detected is an arbitrary position in the exhaust path (5, 6) between the oxidation catalyst 20 and the filter 19.

  The EGR temperature sensor 36 detects an EGR temperature T6. The EGR temperature T6 is the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing through the EGR pipe 8 on the downstream side of the heat exchanger 21.

  In FIG. 1, the engine 1 includes a differential pressure sensor 40, an atmospheric pressure sensor 41, an intake pressure sensor 42, and an exhaust pressure sensor 43.

  The differential pressure sensor 40 can detect the pressure of exhaust gas at the inlet and outlet of the filter 19. For this reason, the differential pressure sensor 40 can detect the differential pressure ΔP between the inlet and the outlet of the filter 19.

  The atmospheric pressure sensor 41 detects the atmospheric pressure P1. The position for detecting the atmospheric pressure P1 is provided outside the intake path (2, 3).

  The intake pressure sensor 42 detects the intake pressure P2. The intake pressure P2 is the pressure of the intake gas flowing through the intake path (2, 3) on the downstream side of the compressor 11b and the outlet 8b.

  The exhaust pressure sensor 43 detects the exhaust pressure P3. The exhaust pressure P3 is the pressure of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust path (5, 6) on the upstream side of the inlet 8a and the exhaust turbine 11a.

  In FIG. 1, the engine 1 includes a rotation speed sensor 22. The rotational speed sensor 22 detects the rotational speed of the crankshaft 12 (engine rotational speed).

  In FIG. 1, the engine 1 includes an oxygen sensor 23. The oxygen sensor 23 detects the oxygen concentration contained in the exhaust gas. The position for detecting the oxygen concentration is an arbitrary position in the exhaust path (5, 6) on the upstream side of the oxidation catalyst 20. The oxygen concentration is used to detect the excess air ratio.

  The regeneration method of the filter 19 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a list of playback methods. The engine 1 performs the regeneration of the filter 19 according to various regeneration methods. This reproduction method includes self reproduction, auxiliary reproduction, reset reproduction, and emergency reproduction.

  The self-regeneration mainly regenerates the filter 19 using nitrogen dioxide. When the inlet temperature T4 exceeds the activation temperature of the oxidation catalyst 20, the oxidation catalyst 20 generates highly active nitrogen dioxide from nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas. The highly active nitrogen dioxide oxidizes PM deposited on the filter 19 and removes PM from the filter 19. That is, highly active nitrogen dioxide regenerates the filter 19. Self-reproduction refers to reproduction that is automatically executed in this way. In this embodiment, the activation temperature is about 300 ° C. In self-regeneration, no special control is performed. For this reason, in the self-regeneration, the EGR valve 10 is opened, the opening degree of the intake valve 9 is normal, and post injection is not used.

  In the auxiliary regeneration, the filter 19 is mainly regenerated using nitrogen dioxide. In auxiliary regeneration, control is performed so as to increase the inlet temperature T4. In the auxiliary regeneration, the ECU 17 controls the intake valve 9 so as not to change the target rotational speed and to reduce the excess air ratio λ. This control reduces the amount of air that does not contribute to combustion, raises the exhaust temperature T3, and raises the inlet temperature T4 to the activation temperature. In the auxiliary regeneration, the EGR valve 10 is closed to increase the exhaust temperature T3. In auxiliary regeneration, post injection is not used.

  In the reset regeneration, the filter 19 is regenerated using nitrogen dioxide and high-temperature exhaust gas. In reset regeneration, control is performed so as to increase the inlet temperature T4 and the outlet temperature T5. In the reset regeneration, the ECU 17 controls the intake valve 9 so as to reduce the excess air ratio λ without changing the target rotational speed, and causes the fuel injection device 13 to perform post injection. First, since the excess air ratio λ becomes small, the exhaust temperature T3 rises and the inlet temperature T4 rises to the activation temperature (300 ° C.), as in the auxiliary regeneration. Further, the combustion of the post-injected fuel further increases the inlet temperature T4 and the outlet temperature T5. When the outlet temperature T5 exceeds the combustion temperature of PM, the PM of the filter 19 burns due to the high temperature. That is, the filter 19 is regenerated by the action of nitrogen dioxide and the high-temperature exhaust gas. Therefore, the outlet temperature T5 is increased so that the outlet temperature T5 falls within a predetermined combustion temperature range (550 ° C. to 700 ° C.). In this embodiment, the combustion temperature of PM is about 550 ° C. Moreover, in this embodiment, the heat-resistant temperature of the filter 19 is about 700 degreeC. For this reason, in this embodiment, the combustion temperature range is set to 550 degreeC-700 degreeC. In the reset regeneration, the EGR valve 10 is closed to increase the exhaust temperature T3.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a self-reproducing area, a reproducible area, and a non-reproducible area. In FIG. 3, the self-reproducing area, the reproducible area, and the non-reproducible area are specified by the engine speed and the load (engine torque). Self-regeneration occurs in the self-regeneration area. In the reproducible area, the filter 19 can be regenerated by performing auxiliary regeneration or reset regeneration. On the other hand, in the non-renewable region, the exhaust temperature T3 is too low, so the inlet temperature T4 does not actually reach the activation temperature, and the filter 19 cannot be regenerated even if reset regeneration is performed. The first boundary line L1 indicates the boundary between the self-reproducing area and the reproducible area. The second boundary line L2 indicates the boundary between the reproducible area and the non-reproducible area. The temperature of the exhaust gas is the same in each of the first boundary line L1 and the second boundary line L2. In the present embodiment, the inlet temperature T4 at the second boundary line L2 is 300 ° C., which is the activation temperature. In order to regenerate the filter 19 in the non-reproducible area, emergency regeneration is provided. When the engine speed is greater than the lower limit speed R0, there is no non-reproducible region. For this reason, in emergency regeneration, control for increasing the engine speed to be lower than the lower limit speed R0 is executed.

  In FIG. 2, the emergency regeneration regenerates the filter 19 using nitrogen dioxide and high-temperature exhaust gas. In emergency regeneration, control is executed so as to further increase the exhaust gas temperature T3. In the emergency regeneration, the ECU 17 changes the target rotational speed to a predetermined high rotational speed, controls the intake valve 9 to reduce the excess air ratio λ, and causes the fuel injection device 13 to perform post injection. The predetermined high rotation speed is set to a rotation speed equal to or higher than the lower limit rotation speed R0 in FIG. That is, the high rotation speed is set so that the inlet temperature T4 surely exceeds the activation temperature. For this reason, in the emergency regeneration, the filter 19 is regenerated by the action of nitrogen dioxide and the high-temperature exhaust gas more effectively than the reset regeneration. Of course, the EGR valve 10 is closed even in emergency regeneration.

  When the target rotational speed is set to a rotational speed higher than the high rotational speed, the reset regeneration is more effective than the emergency regeneration, and the filter 19 is regenerated. For example, in a work vehicle such as a backhoe, the target rotational speed designated by the driver exceeds the lower limit rotational speed R0 when performing normal work. In such a case, reset playback is more effective than emergency playback, and emergency playback is unnecessary.

  In FIG. 2, the PM over-deposition warning corresponds to the case where various regeneration methods do not function effectively. The PM over-deposition warning informs the driver that PM over-deposition has occurred in the filter 19.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing changes in the playback state. In FIG. 4, the regeneration state is any of the self-regeneration execution state S1, the auxiliary regeneration execution state S2, the reset regeneration execution state S3, the emergency regeneration standby state S4, the emergency regeneration execution state S5, and the over-deposition warning S6. Select one of them. Here, the reproduction state indicates that any one reproduction method is applied to the filter 19. The regeneration state is mainly determined by the temperature of the exhaust gas.

  The playback state changes from one state to another when various conditions are satisfied. These conditions include the magnitude of the PM deposition amount and various measurement times. For this reason, the engine 1 includes means for detecting the PM accumulation amount and means for measuring various times. These means will be described later.

  When the condition C1 “PM accumulation amount ≧ 8 g / L” is satisfied in the self-regeneration execution state S1, the regeneration state changes to the auxiliary regeneration execution state S2. When the condition C2 “execution time ≧ 30 minutes” or the condition C3 “PM accumulation amount <6 g / L” is satisfied in the auxiliary regeneration execution state S2, the regeneration state changes to the self-regeneration execution state S2.

  When the condition C4 “elapsed time ≧ 100 hours” is satisfied in the execution state S1 of self-regeneration, when the condition C5 “elapsed time ≧ 100 hours” is satisfied in the execution state S2 of auxiliary regeneration, or in the execution state S2 of auxiliary regeneration When the condition C6 “PM accumulation amount 8 g / L and auxiliary regeneration execution time ≧ 10 minutes” is satisfied, the regeneration state changes to the reset regeneration execution state S3. Here, the elapsed time indicates the time that has elapsed from the time when the reset playback was completed last time to the present time. This elapsed time measurement ends when reset playback is started, and the elapsed time count is changed to zero. When the reset playback is completed, the elapsed time measurement is newly started.

  When the condition C7 “valid time for reset regeneration ≧ 25 minutes”, condition C8 “execution time for reset regeneration ≧ 30 minutes”, or condition C9 “PM accumulation amount <6 g / L” is satisfied in the reset regeneration execution state S3 The reproduction state changes to the self-regeneration execution state S1. Here, the execution time of reset reproduction indicates the time during which the reproduction state is maintained in the execution state of reset reproduction. On the other hand, the effective time of reset regeneration indicates the time during which the outlet temperature T5 is in the combustion temperature range (550 ° C. to 700 ° C.) in the reset regeneration execution state. In other words, the effective time for reset reproduction refers to the time during which reset reproduction is substantially executed.

  When the condition C10 “PM deposition amount ≧ 10 g / L” is satisfied in the auxiliary regeneration execution state S2, the condition C11 “PM deposition amount ≧ 10 g / L” is satisfied in the reset regeneration execution state S3, or the reset regeneration When the condition C12 “PM accumulation amount ≧ 8 g / L and reset regeneration execution time ≧ 10 minutes” is satisfied in the execution state S3, the regeneration state changes to the emergency regeneration standby state S4.

  When the condition C13 “emergency regeneration instruction: present” is satisfied in the emergency regeneration standby state S4, the regeneration state changes to the emergency regeneration execution state S5. In the emergency regeneration standby state S4, as will be described in detail later, a warning is issued to the driver to perform emergency regeneration. In response to this warning, the driver can input an emergency regeneration command to the ECU 17 using the emergency regeneration button 16.

  When the condition C14 “effective time ≧ 25 minutes and PM deposition amount <8 g / L” or the condition C15 “execution time ≧ 30 minutes and PM deposition amount <8 g / L” is satisfied in the emergency regeneration execution state S5 The reproduction state changes to the self-regeneration execution state S1.

  When the condition C16 “standby time ≧ 1 hour” or the condition C17 “PM deposition amount ≧ 12 g / L” is satisfied in the emergency regeneration standby state S4, or in the emergency regeneration execution state S5, the condition C18 “PM deposition amount ≧ 8 g / L” is satisfied. When “L and execution time of emergency regeneration ≧ 30 minutes” are satisfied, the regeneration state changes to PM over-deposition warning S6. As will be described later in detail, the PM over-deposition warning S6 issues a warning to the driver so that the maintenance of the filter 19 is performed.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the configuration related to the playback method will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration related to the playback method.

  In FIG. 5, the engine 1 includes a first estimation mechanism 110 and a second estimation mechanism 120 that estimate the PM accumulation amount.

  The first estimation mechanism 110 includes a rotation speed sensor 12, an oxygen sensor 23, a fuel injection amount setting unit 101, a flow rate estimation unit 102, an atmospheric pressure sensor 41, an intake pressure sensor 42, an exhaust pressure sensor 43, an environmental temperature sensor 31, an intake air temperature. A sensor 32, an exhaust temperature sensor 33, an outlet temperature sensor 35, and an EGR temperature sensor 36 are provided.

  The first estimation mechanism 110 estimates the PM accumulation amount in the filter 19 based on the difference between the PM discharge amount and the PM oxidation amount. The PM emission amount indicates the total amount of PM discharged from the engine 1 in a unit time. The PM oxidation amount indicates the total amount of PM oxidized in the filter 19 per unit time.

  First, the PM emission amount is obtained as follows.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship among the engine speed N, the fuel injection amount Q (i), and the PM emission amount C. In FIG. 6, the variable i indicates a number from 1 to 3. The fuel injection amounts Q (1), Q (2), and Q (3) have different sizes. As shown in FIG. 6, there is a certain relationship among the engine speed N, the fuel injection amount Q (i), and the PM emission amount C. Therefore, the PM emission amount C as a basic amount is determined based on the engine speed N and the fuel injection amount Q (i) per cycle. The PM emission amount as the estimated amount is further obtained by correcting the PM emission amount C as the basic amount by correction with the excess air ratio λ.

  Next, the PM oxidation amount is obtained as follows.

  In FIG. 5, the engine speed is detected by the speed sensor 12. The fuel injection amount setting unit 101 sets the fuel injection amount to be injected from the fuel injection device 13. Therefore, the fuel injection amount per cycle is specified by the fuel injection amount setting unit 101. The excess air ratio λ is specified based on the oxygen concentration detected by the oxygen sensor 23.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the regeneration speed V, the exhaust mass flow rate FE, and the outlet temperature T5 (i). In FIG. 7, the variable i indicates a number from 1 to 3. The outlet temperatures T5 (1), T5 (2), and T5 (3) have different sizes. As shown in FIG. 7, there is a certain relationship among the regeneration speed V, the exhaust mass flow rate FE, and the outlet temperature T5 (i). The regeneration speed V indicates the speed at which PM is removed by oxidation. The exhaust mass flow rate FE indicates the mass flow rate of the exhaust gas. Based on the regeneration speed V, the PM oxidation amount is specified. Therefore, the PM oxidation amount is estimated based on the exhaust mass flow rate FE and the outlet temperature T5 (i).

  The exhaust mass flow rate FE used for specifying the PM oxidation amount is obtained as follows.

  In FIG. 5, the flow rate estimation unit 102 estimates an intake mass flow rate FI, an EGR mass flow rate FR, and an exhaust mass flow rate FE. The intake mass flow rate FI and the EGR mass flow rate FR indicate the mass flow rate of the intake gas and the mass flow rate of the EGR gas, respectively. The EGR gas refers to the exhaust gas that merges with the intake gas via the EGR rod 8.

The mass flow rates FI, FR, and FE are expressed as a function of pressures P3 and P2, temperatures T2 and T6, and excess air ratio λ.
Intake mass flow rate FI = f (P3, P2, T2, λ, T1, P1)
However, since the environmental temperature T1 and the atmospheric pressure P1 are elements for correction, they are substantially as follows.

(Modification)
The engine 1 according to the present embodiment can employ the following modifications.

  In the engine 1, the supercharger 11 and the EGR device are not essential components. Here, the EGR device includes an EGR pipe 8, an EGR valve 10, and a heat exchanger 21. For this reason, the engine 1 may not include the supercharger 11 and / or the EGR device.

  When the engine 1 does not include the supercharger 11 and / or the EGR device, the intake air temperature T2 is approximately equal to the environmental temperature T1, and the exhaust gas temperature T3 is approximately equal to the inlet temperature T4. In this case, the engine 1 may not include the environmental temperature sensor 31 and the exhaust temperature sensor 33. In the above control, the inlet temperature T4 is used instead of the exhaust temperature T3.

  When the inlet temperature T4 is used instead of the exhaust temperature T3, the first abnormality warning command unit 161 is changed as follows. When all the signal values of the outlet temperature sensor 35 and the inlet temperature sensor 34 are within the normal range and the outlet temperature T5 is lower than the activation temperature of the oxidation catalyst 20 during the first abnormality monitoring time during the emergency regeneration. In addition, the first abnormality warning instruction unit 161 causes the warning device 15 to execute the first abnormality occurrence warning.

(Effect of the engine according to the present embodiment)
The engine 1 according to the present embodiment has the following effects.

  The engine 1 can execute auxiliary regeneration, and can execute an emergency regeneration warning and a PM over-deposition warning. Auxiliary regeneration does not consume excess fuel, unlike regeneration with post-injection. The emergency regeneration warning informs the driver of the necessity of emergency regeneration. The PM over-deposition warning notifies the driver of the occurrence of over-deposition that may cause damage to the filter 19. Therefore, the engine 1 suppresses an increase in the amount of particulate matter while reducing the frequency of performing additional combustion (post injection) for increasing the temperature of exhaust gas and the frequency of changing the engine speed as much as possible. it can. In addition, the engine 1 can easily prevent the filter from being damaged due to excessive deposition.

  In the auxiliary regeneration, the reset regeneration, and the emergency regeneration, the EGR valve 10 is closed. For this reason, the engine 1 can prevent the temperature of the exhaust gas from being lowered during the regeneration, and can efficiently perform the regeneration.

  The engine 1 not only has a first estimation mechanism 110 that estimates the PM deposition amount based on the difference between the PM emission amount and the PM oxidation amount, but also a second estimation mechanism that estimates the PM deposition amount based on the differential pressure of the filter 19. 120 is further provided. That is, the PM accumulation amount is estimated by two methods. For this reason, the reliability in the detection of the accumulation amount of a particulate matter is improved.

  When the PM accumulation amount does not fall below the first upper limit amount within a predetermined emergency regeneration time from the time when the emergency regeneration is started, the overdeposition warning command unit 152 causes the warning device 15 to execute the overdeposition warning. . For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that the emergency regeneration may be defective.

  When the emergency regeneration command is not input within a predetermined limit time from the time when the emergency regeneration warning is started, the over-deposition warning command unit 152 causes the warning device 15 to execute the over-deposition warning. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that emergency regeneration may not be performed.

  The engine 1 includes a maintenance warning command unit 153 that causes the warning device 15 to execute a maintenance warning. The engine speed exceeds the high speed, and it is basically estimated that the accumulation of the filter 19 has been eliminated by reset regeneration or forced regeneration. In such a situation, when the state where the differential pressure ΔP0 exceeds the predetermined pressure difference continues for a predetermined abnormal pressure time or longer, a maintenance warning is output. For this reason, the engine 1 can notify the driver that the cause that the accumulated amount is not eliminated is not the failure of the reset regeneration or the forced regeneration but the loss of the filter 19.

  The engine 1 includes an ash content estimation mechanism 150 and an ash content excessive deposition warning command unit 154. Therefore, the engine 1 can notify the driver that the filter 19 needs to be replaced or that the filter 19 needs to be cleaned.

  The engine 1 includes a first abnormality warning command unit 161. In the emergency regeneration, the exhaust temperature T3 is increased so that the inlet temperature T4 exceeds the activation temperature. When the oxidation catalyst 20 is activated, the exhaust gas is heated by the oxidation reaction, so the outlet temperature T5 becomes higher than the inlet temperature T4. When there is no abnormality, the outlet temperature T5 does not become lower than the activation temperature. A warning is issued if the outlet temperature T5 is lower than the activation temperature. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that the regeneration of the filter 19 is not effectively performed in a situation where it is estimated that the regeneration of the filter 19 is surely performed. In particular, the abnormality of the oxidation catalyst 20 is suspected as the cause of the abnormality. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that there is a possibility that an abnormality has occurred in the oxidation catalyst 20.

  The engine 1 includes a second abnormality warning command unit 162. If the outlet temperature T5 is higher than the heat resistant temperature, a warning is issued. For this reason, the engine 1 can notify the driver that an abnormally high temperature that may cause the filter 19 to break may have occurred. In particular, the cause of the abnormality is suspected to be an injection timing failure of the fuel injection device 13 or an abnormal activation state of the oxidation catalyst 20. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver of the possibility that an injection timing failure of the fuel injection device 13 or an abnormal activation state of the oxidation catalyst 20 has occurred.

  The engine 1 includes a third abnormality warning command unit 163. If the inlet temperature T4 is higher than the allowable temperature, a warning is issued. For this reason, the engine 1 can notify the driver that an abnormally high temperature may have occurred on the upstream side of the oxidation catalyst 20. In particular, when the inlet temperature T4 is higher than the allowable temperature, the outlet temperature T5 is likely to exceed the heat resistance temperature. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that the filter 19 may be damaged.

  The engine 1 includes a fourth abnormality warning command unit 164. If the differential pressure ΔP0 is higher than the predetermined differential pressure difference, a warning is issued. For this reason, the engine 1 can notify the driver of the possibility that the filter 19 is clogged.

  The engine 1 includes a fifth abnormality warning command unit 165. When the engine 1 is stopped, the intake pressure P2, the exhaust pressure P3, and the atmospheric pressure P1 are all equal except for the influence of sensor errors. A warning is issued when the first differential pressure is greater than or equal to the first error differential pressure and the second differential pressure is greater than or equal to the second error differential pressure. For this reason, the engine 1 can inform the driver that there is a possibility that an abnormality has occurred in the atmospheric pressure sensor 41.
