Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control technique for an internal combustion engine that can use a plurality of types of fuel.
- a catalyst that adsorbs a specific exhaust gas component for example, nitrogen oxide (NO x ), etc.
- a specific exhaust gas component for example, nitrogen oxide (NO x ), etc.
- the maximum value of the exhaust gas component amount that can be adsorbed by such an exhaust purification catalyst (hereinafter referred to as “maximum adsorption amount”) tends to decrease when the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is higher than when the temperature is low. .
- the maximum adsorption amount may become too small before the fuel is switched. There is sex. In this case, the gaseous fuel is consumed in a state where the exhaust emission reduction effect due to the use of the gaseous fuel cannot be sufficiently obtained.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust gas component by the first fuel and the exhaust purification catalyst having a characteristic that inhibits adsorption of the exhaust gas component by the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the consumption of the second fuel is preferably reduced.
- the present invention includes a first fuel that inhibits adsorption of nitrogen oxides by the exhaust purification catalyst, and a second fuel that does not inhibit adsorption of nitrogen oxides by the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the fuel is switched by paying attention to the maximum adsorption amount that is the maximum value of the nitrogen oxide amount that can be adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the present invention provides a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine in which an exhaust gas purification catalyst that adsorbs nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas when it is in a low temperature state lower than an activation temperature is provided in Either the first fuel that inhibits the phenomenon in which nitrogen oxides are adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst or the second fuel that does not inhibit the phenomenon in which nitrogen oxides are adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst is supplied to the internal combustion engine.
- the switching from the second fuel to the first fuel is performed before the exhaust purification catalyst is activated. Therefore, the second fuel is not consumed even after the maximum amount of adsorption of the exhaust purification catalyst is reduced. As a result, it is possible to reduce the consumption of the second fuel while obtaining the effect of reducing the exhaust emission by using the second fuel.
- the control means switches from the second fuel to the first fuel when the maximum adsorption amount, which is the maximum value of the nitrogen oxide amount that can be adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst, is less than the lower limit value.
- the “lower limit value” corresponds to the maximum adsorption amount when the amount of nitrogen oxide flowing out from the exhaust purification catalyst without being adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst becomes equal to the upper limit value of the allowable range.
- the control means may determine that the maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst has decreased below a lower limit value when the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst has reached an adsorption limit temperature lower than the activation temperature. Good. That is, the control means may control the supply device so that the switching from the second fuel to the first fuel is performed when the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst exceeds the adsorption limit temperature lower than the activation temperature. .
- the maximum amount of adsorption of the exhaust purification catalyst correlates with the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst. That is, the maximum amount of adsorption of the exhaust purification catalyst is smaller when the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is higher than when the temperature is low. Therefore, by setting the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst when the maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst becomes equal to the lower limit value to the “adsorption limit temperature”, the maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst becomes less than the lower limit value. When this happens, it becomes possible to switch from the second fuel to the first fuel.
- the NO X sensor When the NO X sensor is disposed in the exhaust passage downstream of the exhaust purification catalyst, when the measured value of the NO X sensor exceeds the allowable limit value, the maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst is less than the lower limit value. It can also be determined that it has dropped.
- the lower limit value may be set to a smaller value when the alcohol concentration of the first fuel is lower than when the alcohol concentration is low. That is, when the first fuel is a liquid fuel containing alcohol, the adsorption limit temperature may be set to a higher value when the alcohol concentration of the first fuel is higher than when the alcohol concentration is low.
- the alcohol concentration of the first fuel is high, more substances (for example, non-methane hydrocarbons) are adsorbed to the exhaust gas purification catalyst in preference to nitrogen oxides. Therefore, when the alcohol concentration of the first fuel is high, if the lower limit value is set to a large value (the adsorption limit temperature is set to a low temperature), the second fuel is switched to the first fuel and then the exhaust purification catalyst. The amount of nitrogen oxides adsorbed can be excessively reduced. On the other hand, when the alcohol concentration of the first fuel is high, if the lower limit value is set to a small value (the adsorption limit temperature is set to a high value), the exhaust purification catalyst will not be adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst. The amount of nitrogen oxide flowing out can be reduced.
- the control means switches from the first fuel to the second fuel when the maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst increases to a lower limit value or more after switching from the second fuel to the first fuel.
- the switching may not be performed. According to such a method, hunting in which switching from the second fuel to the first fuel and switching from the first fuel to the second fuel are alternately repeated is suppressed. As a result, it is possible to more reliably avoid a situation in which the consumption amount of the second fuel increases or the exhaust emission increases.
- a non-methane hydrocarbon fuel can be used as the first fuel, and a compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used as the second fuel.
- the burned gas of non-methane hydrocarbon fuel contains a lot of non-methane hydrocarbons.
- Non-methane hydrocarbons are more likely to be adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst than nitrogen oxides. Therefore, when a non-methane hydrocarbon fuel is used, the amount of nitrogen oxides adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst is reduced. That is, there is a possibility that the amount of nitrogen oxides actually adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst does not reach the maximum adsorption amount.
- the burned gas of compressed natural gas (CNG) contains almost no non-methane hydrocarbons. Therefore, when natural gas is used, the amount of nitrogen oxides adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst is larger than when non-methane hydrocarbon fuel is used.
- the control means when the remaining amount of the second fuel is large and the operation state of the internal combustion engine is in a light load operation state (for example, an idle operation state), the control means has a maximum adsorption amount of the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the supply device may be controlled so that the use of the second fuel is continued even after the temperature of the exhaust gas is below the lower limit or after the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst exceeds the adsorption limit temperature.
- the internal combustion engine is in a light load operation state (particularly in an idle operation state)
- fuel consumption is small. Therefore, even when a small amount of the second fuel is used when the remaining amount of the second fuel is large, a situation in which the cruising distance of the second fuel is significantly shortened can be avoided.
- the first fuel having the characteristic of inhibiting the adsorption of the exhaust gas component by the exhaust purification catalyst and the second fuel having the characteristic of not inhibiting the adsorption of the exhaust gas component by the exhaust purification catalyst are selectively selected.
- the consumption amount of the second fuel can be suitably reduced.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an internal combustion engine to which the present invention is applied in a first embodiment. It is a figure which shows the relationship between the bed temperature of a 1st exhaust purification apparatus, and the largest adsorption amount. In the case where the gas fuel is used during the cold start of the internal combustion engine, the amount of NO X and bed temperature Metropolitan over time of the first exhaust purification device to be discharged from the amount of NO X in the first exhaust purification device to be discharged from the internal combustion engine It is a figure which shows a change.

- the burned gas of the liquid fuel contains a larger amount of non-methane hydrocarbon than the burned gas of the gaseous fuel (compressed natural gas (CNG)). Therefore, when the liquid fuel is used during the cold start of the internal combustion engine 1, since the amount of NO X adsorbed in the first exhaust gas purification device 15 is decreased, the amount of NO X discharged into the atmosphere more than the amount of regulatory There is a possibility. In contrast, when the gas fuel is used during inter-cold start of the internal combustion engine 1, since the amount of NO X adsorbed in the first exhaust gas purification device 15 can be increased, the amount of NO X discharged into the atmosphere Can be kept below the regulated amount.
- CNG compressed natural gas
- the maximum value (maximum adsorption amount) of the NO X amount that can be adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15 is higher than when the temperature (bed temperature) of the first exhaust purification device 15 is low, as shown in FIG. Sometimes it tends to be less. Therefore, if the gaseous fuel continues to be used until the temperature of the first exhaust gas purification device 15 becomes high, the consumption amount of the gaseous fuel increases in a state where the exhaust emission reduction effect due to the use of the gaseous fuel is not sufficiently obtained. Further, since the gaseous fuel has a lower energy density than the liquid fuel, the cruising distance when the gaseous fuel is used is likely to be shorter than when the liquid fuel is used.
- the fuel switching control in the present embodiment is performed in the internal combustion engine fuel injection system that uses gaseous fuel during the cold start of the internal combustion engine 1 before the maximum adsorption amount of the first exhaust purification device 15 falls below the lower limit value. Changed from fuel to liquid fuel.
- the term "lower limit value" is, NO X amount exhausted without being adsorbed to the first exhaust gas purification device 15 is the maximum amount of adsorption is considered to reach the amount regulation fitting process utilizing an experiment or the like in advance Is a value obtained by
- the maximum adsorption amount of the first exhaust purification device 15 falls below the lower limit before the first exhaust purification device 15 is activated.
- the amount of NO X discharged from the internal combustion engine 1 and the amount of NO X discharged from the first exhaust gas purification device 15 and the first exhaust gas purification device The time-dependent change with the bed temperature of 15 is measured.
- the solid line in FIG. 3 indicates the NO X amount discharged from the internal combustion engine
- the alternate long and short dash line indicates the NO X emission amount of the first exhaust purification device 15
- the two-dot chain line indicates the bed temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15. .
- NO X amount exhausted from the first exhaust gas purification device 15 becomes substantially zero. This is considered that substantially the entire amount of NO X discharged from the internal combustion engine 1 is adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15. Thereafter, when the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 exceeds the temperature indicated by Tmp0 in FIG. 3, the amount of NO X discharged from the first exhaust purification device 15 starts to increase. This is considered that the maximum adsorption amount began to decrease as the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 increased.
- the temperature of the first exhaust gas purification device 15 reaches Tmp1 (adsorption limit temperature) higher than the TMP0, NO X amount exhausted from the first exhaust gas purification device 15 increases to permitted amount Vreg. That is, the maximum adsorption amount of the first exhaust purification device 15 (the difference between the NO X amount discharged from the internal combustion engine 1 and the NO X amount discharged from the first exhaust purification device 15) decreases to the lower limit value Vnxl. Further, when the bed temperature of the first exhaust gas purification device 15 approaches the activation temperature Tmp2 (> Tmp1), NO X amount exhausted from the first exhaust gas purification device 15 turns to decrease from increase. This is presumed that a part of NO X is reduced by partially activating the first exhaust purification device 15.
- Tmp1 adsorption limit temperature
- the maximum adsorption amount of the first exhaust purification device 15 may fall below the lower limit value before the first exhaust purification device 15 is activated. In other words, the amount of NO X discharged from the first exhaust purification device 15 may exceed the regulation value before the first exhaust purification device 15 is activated. Therefore, when the temperature of the first exhaust gas purification device 15 has reached the adsorption limit temperature Tmp1, if performed switching from the gas fuel to liquid fuel, the reducing (NO X emissions in the exhaust emission by the use of gaseous fuels reduction ) And the consumption of gaseous fuel can be reduced. Since the relationship between the adsorption limit temperature Tmp1 and the maximum adsorption amount may slightly vary depending on the environment or the like, the fuel may be switched based on the temperature obtained by subtracting a margin from the adsorption limit temperature Tmp1. Good.
- the lower limit value or the adsorption limit temperature may be changed according to the alcohol concentration in the liquid fuel.
- the alcohol concentration of the liquid fuel higher than that when low, the greater the non-methane hydrocarbons are adsorbed to the first exhaust gas purification device 15 in preference to NO X.
- the alcohol concentration in the liquid fuel is high, it is desirable to set the lower limit value to a smaller value (the adsorption limit temperature is a higher value) than when the alcohol concentration is low.
- the alcohol concentration contained in the liquid fuel may be detected by attaching an alcohol concentration sensor to the liquid fuel passage from the first fuel tank 111 to the first fuel injection valve 11 or used for air-fuel ratio feedback control. You may estimate from the correction coefficient to be obtained.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a routine executed by the ECU 20 when the fuel switching control is performed.
- This routine is a routine that is stored in advance in the ROM or the like of the ECU 20, and is a routine that is executed by the ECU 20 with a start request of the internal combustion engine 1 (for example, an ignition switch on signal, a switch on signal, etc.) as a trigger.
- a start request of the internal combustion engine 1 for example, an ignition switch on signal, a switch on signal, etc.
- the ECU 20 first executes the process of S101. That is, the ECU 20 determines whether or not the first exhaust purification device 15 is in a low temperature state. For example, the ECU 20 has the first exhaust purification device 15 in a low temperature condition on the condition that the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine 1 is lower than a predetermined temperature or the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor 19 is lower than the adsorption limit temperature. Is determined. If a negative determination is made in S101, the ECU 20 ends the execution of this routine. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in S101, the ECU 20 proceeds to S102.
- the ECU 20 controls the supply device so that the gaseous fuel is supplied to the internal combustion engine 1. Specifically, the ECU 20 stops the fuel pump 112 and stops the supply of liquid fuel by keeping the first shut-off valve 113 and the first fuel injection valve 11 closed. Furthermore, the ECU 20 supplies the gaseous fuel by keeping the second shut-off valve 123 open and opening / closing the second fuel injection valve 12 at an appropriate timing. In this case, the internal combustion engine 1 operates by burning gaseous fuel.
- the ECU 20 acquires the alcohol concentration in the liquid fuel, and determines the adsorption limit temperature using the acquired alcohol concentration as a parameter. At that time, the ECU 20 sets the adsorption limit temperature higher when the alcohol concentration in the liquid fuel is high than when it is low.
- the ECU 20 acquires the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15. At that time, the ECU 20 may use the measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor 19 as an alternative value of the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15. When a temperature sensor capable of directly measuring the floor temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 is attached to the first exhaust purification device 15, the ECU 20 uses the measured value of the temperature sensor as the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15. It may be used.
- the ECU 20 compares the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 acquired in S104 with the adsorption limit temperature set in S103. At this time, if the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 is equal to or lower than the adsorption limit temperature, the ECU 20 returns to S104. On the other hand, if the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 is higher than the adsorption limit temperature, the ECU 20 proceeds to S106.
- the ECU 20 controls the supply device so that the fuel used in the internal combustion engine 1 is switched from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel. Specifically, the ECU 20 stops the supply of gaseous fuel by keeping the second fuel injection valve 12 and the second shutoff valve 123 closed. Further, the ECU 20 operates the fuel pump 112 and opens the first shutoff valve 113 to supply the liquid fuel in the first fuel tank 111 to the first fuel injection valve 11. Next, the ECU 20 opens and closes the first fuel injection valve 11 in accordance with the injection timing of each cylinder 2 to supply liquid fuel to each cylinder of the internal combustion engine 1.
- control means according to the present invention is realized by the ECU 20 executing the routine of FIG. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation where reduction of the NO X emissions from the use of gaseous fuel is gaseous fuel is consumed in a situation not be sufficiently obtained. Therefore, while obtaining a reduction of the NO X emissions from the use of gaseous fuels, it is possible to reduce the consumption of the gaseous fuel.
- the fuel switching control is not limited to the cold start time of the internal combustion engine 1, and may be any time as long as the first exhaust purification device 15 is in a low temperature state. In that case, ECU20 should just perform the routine of FIG. 4 mentioned above periodically.
- the fuel switching control may be hunted. Therefore, switching from the liquid fuel to the gaseous fuel may be prohibited for a certain period after the switching from the gaseous fuel to the liquid fuel is performed.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the internal combustion engine in the present embodiment.
- the same components as those in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- a NO X sensor 21 is attached to the exhaust passage 10 of the internal combustion engine 1 instead of the exhaust temperature sensor 19.
- ECU 20 performs fuel switching control based on the measured value of the NO X sensor 21 instead of the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 (NO X amount exhausted from the first exhaust gas purification device 15).
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a routine executed by the ECU 20 when the fuel switching control is performed.
- This routine is a routine that is executed by the ECU 20 when a request for starting the internal combustion engine 1 is generated or periodically, as in the routine of FIG. 4 in the first embodiment described above.
- FIG. 6 the same processes as those in the routine of FIG.
- the difference between the routine of FIG. 4 and the routine of FIG. 6 is that the processing of S201 to S203 is executed instead of the processing of S103 to S105. That, ECU 20, at S201, sets the permitted amount is the upper limit of the amount of NO X discharged from the first exhaust gas purification device 15. At that time, the ECU 20 sets a larger amount of regulation when the alcohol concentration in the liquid fuel is high than when it is low.
- the ECU 20 reads the measured value (NO X emission amount) of the NO X sensor 21. Subsequently, ECU 20 proceeds to S203, and compares the permitted amount set by the the NO X emissions were obtained in the S202 S201. At this time, NO X emissions is equal to or less than the permitted amount, ECU 20 returns to S202. On the other hand, if NO X emissions exceeds the amount regulating, ECU 20 proceeds to S106, and controls the supply device to the fuel used in the internal combustion engine 1 is switched from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel.
- non-adsorption temperature the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 when the first exhaust purification device 15 stops adsorbing non-methane hydrocarbons
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a routine executed by the ECU 20 when the fuel switching control is performed.
- This routine is a routine that is executed by the ECU 20 when a request for starting the internal combustion engine 1 is generated or periodically, as in the routine of FIG. 4 in the first embodiment described above.
- the same reference numerals are given to the same processes as those in the routine of FIG.
- the difference between the routine of FIG. 4 and the routine of FIG. 7 is that the processes of S301 and S302 are executed instead of the processes of S103 to S105. That is, the ECU 20 proceeds to S301 after executing the process of S102, and acquires the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 (measured value of the exhaust temperature sensor 19).
- the ECU 20 proceeds to S302, and compares the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 acquired in S301 with the non-adsorption temperature. Note that the non-adsorption temperature is experimentally determined in advance. When the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 is equal to or lower than the non-adsorption temperature, the ECU 20 returns to S301. On the other hand, when the temperature of the first exhaust purification device 15 is higher than the non-adsorption temperature, the ECU 20 proceeds to S106 and controls the supply device to change the fuel used in the internal combustion engine 1 from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel.
- FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of the internal combustion engine in the present embodiment.
- the same components as those in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.
- the second fuel tank 121 is provided with a remaining amount sensor 124 that outputs an electric signal correlated with the amount of gaseous fuel stored in the second fuel tank 121.
- the ECU 20 is electrically connected to an accelerator position sensor 22 for measuring an operation amount (accelerator opening) of an accelerator pedal (not shown).
- the difference between the fuel switching control in this embodiment and the fuel switching control in the first embodiment described above is that the remaining amount of gaseous fuel (the amount of gaseous fuel stored in the second fuel tank 121) is different.
- the internal combustion engine 1 is in the idling operation state when the amount is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount, the use of the gaseous fuel is continued even after the condition for switching from the gaseous fuel to the liquid fuel is satisfied.
- the consumption amount of gaseous fuel is reduced. Therefore, even if the use of a small amount of the gaseous fuel is continued when the remaining amount of the gaseous fuel is large, a situation in which the cruising distance of the gaseous fuel is significantly shortened can be avoided. Further, since there is a high possibility that the operation of the internal combustion engine 1 is stopped when the internal combustion engine 1 is in an idle operation state, the amount of non-methane hydrocarbons adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15 by using gaseous fuel When is reduced, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the amount of NO X that can be adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15 at the next start is excessively reduced.
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a routine executed by the ECU 20 when the fuel switching control is performed.
- This routine is a routine that is executed by the ECU 20 when a request for starting the internal combustion engine 1 is generated or periodically, as in the routine of FIG. 4 in the first embodiment described above.
- the same reference numerals are given to the same processes as those in the routine of FIG.
- the difference between the routine of FIG. 4 and the routine of FIG. 9 is that the processing of S401 to S403 is executed when an affirmative determination is made in S105. That is, if an affirmative determination is made in S105, the ECU 20 proceeds to S401, and reads the measurement value (remaining amount of gaseous fuel) of the remaining amount sensor 124.
- the ECU 20 proceeds to S402, and determines whether or not the remaining amount of the gaseous fuel acquired in S401 is a predetermined amount or more.
- the “predetermined amount” referred to here is an amount that is considered to be sufficient for the gaseous fuel in the second fuel tank 121 even if the gaseous fuel continues to be used during the idling operation of the internal combustion engine 1. This is the amount determined by the conforming process. If a negative determination is made in S402, the ECU 20 proceeds to S106 and controls the supply device to switch the fuel used in the internal combustion engine 1 from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in S402, the ECU 20 proceeds to S403.
- the ECU 20 determines whether or not the internal combustion engine 1 is in an idling operation state. For example, the ECU 20 determines whether or not the measured value (accelerator opening) of the accelerator position sensor 22 is zero. If a negative determination is made in S403, the ECU 20 proceeds to S106 and controls the supply device to switch the fuel used by the internal combustion engine 1 from gaseous fuel to liquid fuel. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in S403, the ECU 20 returns to S401. In that case, the internal combustion engine 1 continues to be operated by the gaseous fuel.
- the amount of non-methane hydrocarbons adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15 can be suppressed to a low level. As a result, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the amount of NOX that can be adsorbed by the first exhaust purification device 15 is reduced at the next start.
