Definitions
- the present invention relates to a technical field of an exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine that controls an exhaust operation of an internal combustion engine mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile.
- a three-way catalyst capable of simultaneously purifying three components of HC, CO and NO in the exhaust is disposed. It is said that a three-way catalyst generally cannot exhibit an appropriate purification ability unless the activation temperature is exceeded. For this reason, at the time of engine cold start or the like, a so-called catalyst warm-up operation is performed in which the temperature of the exhaust gas that passes through the catalyst is raised so that the catalyst temperature quickly reaches the activation temperature. During the catalyst warm-up operation, the temperature of the catalyst is monitored, and the warm-up operation is stopped when the catalyst reaches the activation temperature (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- Some fuels used in internal combustion engines contain sulfur as a component.
- Sulfur in the fuel is adsorbed on the catalyst coat material of the three-way catalyst, for example, as SOx.
- SOx sulfur released from the catalyst coat material
- the catalyst warm-up operation is performed in this state, sulfur released from the catalyst coat material is adsorbed on the noble metal on the catalyst, and the catalyst There is a risk that the activity may decrease.
- sulfur adsorbed on the noble metal does not leave even at a relatively high temperature, and therefore continues to decrease the catalytic activity even after warm-up.
- the technology for performing the warming-up operation on the catalyst has a technical problem that, when sulfur is contained in the fuel, the purification capability after the warming-up is reduced due to the adsorption.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine that can suitably remove sulfur adsorbed on a catalyst.

- the exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention controls the exhaust operation of the internal combustion engine having an exhaust purification catalyst in the exhaust path.
- the internal combustion engine according to the present invention is configured, for example, as a power element capable of supplying power to a drive shaft of a vehicle.
- the exhaust purification catalyst according to the present invention is a catalyst capable of purifying at least sulfur (S) contained in the exhaust.
- the exhaust purification catalyst includes, for example, a noble metal such as platinum (Pt), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd) on a carrier.
- the exhaust purification catalyst is first warmed up by the warm-up means.
- the warm-up means raises the temperature of the exhaust gas that passes through the exhaust purification catalyst, for example, by delaying the ignition timing in the internal combustion engine, for example, so that the exhaust purification catalyst reaches the activation temperature at an early stage.
- the warming-up of the exhaust purification catalyst may be accompanied by, for example, a deterioration in drivability and fuel consumption due to a decrease in the output of the internal combustion engine, so that the exhaust purification catalyst is quickly terminated when the exhaust purification catalyst reaches the activation temperature.
- sulfur contained as a component of the fuel is released as SOx (sulfur oxide) into the exhaust path after the combustion of the fuel and is adsorbed by the exhaust purification catalyst.
- SOx sulfur oxide
- Sulfur adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst desorbs at about 450 ° C., for example. For this reason, the sulfur adsorbed before the exhaust purification catalyst is warmed up is separated by being warmed up.
- sulfur released by warm-up is adsorbed by the noble metal of the exhaust purification catalyst in a rich atmosphere.
- the sulfur adsorbed by the noble metal of the exhaust purification catalyst in this way does not leave until it reaches a very high temperature (for example, 700 ° C. or higher) in a rich atmosphere. Therefore, if no measures are taken, sulfur remains adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst even after the warm-up is completed, which causes a reduction in the purification ability of the exhaust purification catalyst.
- oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification catalyst by the oxygen supply means after the warm-up of the exhaust purification catalyst is completed.
- oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification catalyst after the warm-up, sulfur adsorbed on the noble metal can be oxidized and separated as SO 2 even if the temperature is not higher than 700 ° C. as described above. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the purification ability of the exhaust purification catalyst after the warm-up is lowered due to the adsorbed sulfur.

Have been). For this reason, the exhaust gas generated by the combustion of the fuel in the internal combustion engine does not occur, and it is possible to easily supply a relatively high concentration of oxygen to the exhaust gas purification catalyst.
- an air-fuel ratio detection means for detecting an air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is provided, and the oxygen supply means has an atmosphere in which the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is rich. In this case, oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is detected by the air-fuel ratio detection means before oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification means by the oxygen supply means.
- oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification unit by the oxygen supply unit.
- the “rich atmosphere” means a state where the fuel ratio is higher than the ideal air-fuel ratio (that is, the stoichiometric state).
- the rich atmosphere forming means for making the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst a rich atmosphere is provided before the oxygen supply means supplies oxygen to the exhaust purification catalyst.
- the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst before oxygen supply is not a rich atmosphere
- the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is forcibly made rich by the rich atmosphere means. Therefore, sulfur adsorbed on the exhaust purification catalyst can be effectively separated.
- an air-fuel ratio detection means for detecting an air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst and an oxygen concentration detection means for detecting an oxygen concentration in the exhaust purification catalyst are provided.
- the oxygen supply means stops the supply of oxygen to the exhaust purification catalyst when the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is a lean atmosphere and the oxygen concentration in the exhaust purification catalyst is equal to or higher than a predetermined concentration.
- the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst is detected by the air-fuel ratio detection means when oxygen is supplied to the exhaust purification means by the oxygen supply means. Further, the oxygen concentration in the exhaust purification catalyst is detected by the oxygen concentration detection means.

- the second exhaust purification catalyst is provided downstream of the exhaust purification catalyst (that is, on the side opposite to the internal combustion engine when viewed from the exhaust purification catalyst).
- the second exhaust purification catalyst is configured as, for example, an underfloor catalyst, and purifies substances that cannot be purified by the exhaust purification catalyst or that could not be purified.
- the inflow air amount to the second exhaust purification catalyst is detected by the inflow air amount detection unit. Then, when the detected amount of inflow air becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined amount, the supply of oxygen to the exhaust purification unit by the oxygen supply unit is stopped.

- the air / fuel ratio inside may be made rich.
- the fuel injection amount is increased more than usual. That is, when the internal combustion engine is restarted after the supply of oxygen, more fuel is injected than during a normal restart (that is, when oxygen is not supplied by the oxygen supply means). . In this way, the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust purification catalyst can be reliably made rich. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the NOx emission amount from increasing in the operation of the internal combustion engine after the supply of oxygen is completed.

Therefore, it is possible to suitably prevent the NOx emission amount from increasing in the operation of the internal combustion engine after the supply of oxygen is completed.
- the exhaust purification catalyst is a three-way catalyst.
- the exhaust purification catalyst is configured as a three-way catalyst capable of purifying HC (hydrocarbon), CO (carbon monoxide), and NOx in the exhaust.
- HC hydrocarbon
- CO carbon monoxide
- NOx NOx
- this three-way catalyst as described above, a situation may occur in which sulfur remains adsorbed on the noble metal even after warm-up. Therefore, by supplying oxygen after warming up, it is possible to reliably release sulfur and prevent a reduction in purification capacity.
- the exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine of the present invention, includes a rotation speed detection means for detecting the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine, and a load detection means for detecting a load of the internal combustion engine, wherein the oxygen supply means The supply of oxygen to the exhaust purification catalyst is started based on the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine and the load on the internal combustion engine.

- step S101 when the ignition is turned on (step S101: YES), the temperature of the three-way catalyst 216 is detected, and the detected temperature Tc is the threshold value. It is determined whether it is less than Tc1 (step S102).
- the threshold value Tc1 is a threshold value for determining low temperature start of the engine 200.
- a value of the activation temperature (for example, 400 ° C.) of the three-way catalyst 216 is set.
- the temperature of the three-way catalyst 216 is detected by, for example, a temperature sensor provided in the three-way catalyst 216.

- the three-way catalyst 216 includes a carrier (catalyst coating material) 810 and a noble metal portion 820. Sulfur contained as a fuel component of the engine 200 is released as SOx into the exhaust path after combustion of the fuel and is adsorbed by the three-way catalyst 216.
- the SOx adsorbed on the three-way catalyst 216 is detached at about 450 ° C., for example. For this reason, the SOx adsorbed before the warm-up control is detached by the warm-up control.
- sulfur separated by the warm-up control is adsorbed on the noble metal portion 820 of the three-way catalyst 216 in a rich atmosphere.
- the sulfur adsorbed on the noble metal portion 820 of the three-way catalyst 216 in this way does not leave until it reaches a very high temperature (for example, 700 ° C. or higher) in a rich atmosphere. Therefore, if no countermeasures are taken, sulfur remains adsorbed on the three-way catalyst 216 even after the warm-up control is completed, causing a reduction in the purification capacity of the three-way catalyst 216.
- the exhaust control device for an internal combustion engine causes the three-way catalyst 216 to exit after the warm-up control is completed in order to release sulfur that remains adsorbed by the three-way catalyst 216 even after the warm-up control is completed.

Thereby, it can suppress that the three-way catalyst 216 deteriorates due to the oxygen supply control being performed at an extremely high temperature.

- rich correction for example, fuel increase
- step S107 When the output value Oxs of the O2 sensor 218 exceeds the threshold value Oxs1 (step S107: YES), it is determined whether or not the rotational speed Ne of the engine 200 is less than the threshold value Ne1 (step S109). Further, when the rotational speed Ne of the engine 200 is less than the threshold value Ne1 (step S109: YES), it is determined whether or not the load Ed of the engine 200 is less than the threshold value Ed1 (step S110).

In this way, it is possible to prevent the emission and drivability from being deteriorated by executing the oxygen supply control while the engine speed Ne and the load Ed are relatively high.
- step S110 when load Ed of engine 200 is less than threshold value Ed1 (step S110: YES), operation of engine 200 is stopped and hybrid vehicle 1 travels with the power of motor generators MG1 and MG2 (so-called so-called EV mode) (step S111).

- step S201 inflow of air into the three-way catalyst 216 (that is, air containing more oxygen than exhaust exhausted after combustion) is started (step S201). Inflow of air into the three-way catalyst 216 is performed from the air pump 221 through the air supply pipe 220.
- air may be flowed in by a method other than the air pump 221, for example, it may be realized by motoring the stopped engine 200 with power from the motor generator MG1, or the engine 200 is completely stopped. If it is before, it can also be realized by fuel cut.
- FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram showing the state of the three-way catalyst before oxygen supply and during oxygen supply.
- illustration of substances other than the sulfur component is omitted as in FIG.
- the noble metal portion 820 is covered with sulfur by the warm-up control. If air having a relatively high oxygen concentration is supplied to such a three-way catalyst 216, it is adsorbed by the noble metal portion 820 even at a high temperature (eg, 700 ° C. or higher) at which sulfur is released in a rich atmosphere. and the sulfur is oxidized, can be removed as SO 2. Therefore, it can prevent that the purification
- a high temperature eg, 700 ° C. or higher

- step S203: YES When the integrated value Gusum of the inflow air amount exceeds the threshold Gusum1 (step S203: YES), the inflow of air is ended (step S204).
- the threshold Gusum1 is a threshold for determining whether or not a sufficient amount of oxygen has been supplied to the three-way catalyst 216, and is set in advance based on, for example, a sulfur desorption effect obtained by supplying oxygen. .
- the inflow air amount may be directly detected by the three-way catalyst 216, or may be indirectly derived from the air amount or the like flowing into the underfloor catalyst 219.
- the inflow of air is stopped according to the integrated value Gusum of the inflow air amount, but the inflow of air may be stopped according to the oxygen concentration of the O2 sensor 218, for example. Specifically, the inflow of air may be stopped when the output value Oxs of the O2 sensor 218 exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
- step S205 When the inflow of air is stopped, the engine 200 is restarted (step S205). As a result, the atmosphere of the three-way catalyst 216 changes from a lean state by the oxygen supply to a richer direction.
- the target value Evoxsref of the oxygen concentration is set in the atmosphere of the three-way catalyst 216.
- the target value Evoxsref for the oxygen concentration is set to Evoxsref0 as an initial value.
- the target value Evoxsref is changed to the correction value Evoxsref1 when the engine 200 is restarted.
- the correction value Evoxsref1 is higher than the initial value Evoxsref0.
- step S207 When the target value Evoxsref of the oxygen concentration is changed, the amount of fuel injected from the injector 212 is increased in order to realize the correction value Evoxsref1 (step S207).
- step S208: YES When the output value Oxs of the O2 sensor exceeds the correction value Evoxsref1 (step S208: YES), the oxygen concentration target value Evoxsref is returned to the initial value Evoxsref0 (step S209), and a series of processing ends.
