S101では、制御部50は、尿素水の噴射指令を受領する。具体的には、例えば、触媒10の下流に設けたNOxセンサからの信号等に基づき、触媒10による排気の浄化率を算出し、浄化率が低下していた場合、尿素水の噴射指令を受領する。ここで、噴射指令は、噴射1回あたりの噴射パルスに相当する。S101の後、処理はS102へ移行する。
In S101, the control unit 50 receives the urea water injection command. Specifically, for example, the purification rate of the exhaust gas by the catalyst 10 is calculated based on a signal from a NOx sensor provided downstream of the catalyst 10, and when the purification rate is low, an injection command of urea water is received. To do. Here, the injection command corresponds to an injection pulse per injection. After S101, the process proceeds to S102.
S102では、制御部50は、第1帯電部311への電圧の印加を開始する。これにより、液体供給部20内の尿素水が帯電する。S102の後、処理はS103へ移行する。
In S102, the control unit 50 starts applying voltage to the first charging unit 311. As a result, the urea water in the liquid supply unit 20 is charged. After S102, the process proceeds to S103.
S103では、制御部50は、液体供給部20を制御し、液体供給部20による尿素水の噴射供給を開始する。これにより、帯電した尿素水が液体供給部20から噴射される。S103の後、処理はS104へ移行する。
In S103, the control unit 50 controls the liquid supply unit 20 and starts the injection supply of urea water by the liquid supply unit 20. As a result, the charged urea water is ejected from the liquid supply unit 20. After S103, the process proceeds to S104.
S104では、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射供給を停止する。また、このとき、制御部50は、第1帯電部311への電圧の印加を停止する。これにより、帯電した尿素水の液体供給部20からの噴射供給が終了する。S104の後、制御部50は、一連の処理S100を終了する。
In S104, the control unit 50 stops the injection supply of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20. Further, at this time, the control unit 50 stops the application of the voltage to the first charging unit 311. As a result, the injection supply from the liquid supply unit 20 of the charged urea water is completed. After S104, the control unit 50 ends the series of processes S100.
制御部50は、S104の後、一連の処理S100を終了し、その後、再び処理S100を開始する。このように、処理S100は、制御部50の起動中、繰り返し実行される処理である。
After S104, the control unit 50 ends the series of processes S100 and then starts the process S100 again. As described above, the process S100 is a process that is repeatedly executed during the activation of the control unit 50.
次に、噴射する尿素水に帯電させることによる効果について、説明する。帯電した状態の尿素水は、静電力による***、すなわち、クーロン***により微粒化する。図4に、第1帯電部311から尿素水に5kVの電圧を印加した場合、および、尿素水に電圧を印加しない場合(0kV)の尿素水の噴霧の粒径(μm)と分布密度(%)との関係を示す。図4に示すように、第1帯電部311から尿素水に5kVの電圧を印加した場合、尿素水に電圧を印加しない場合と比べ、小さな粒径の分布密度が高く、噴射された尿素水の微粒化が促進されていることがわかる。この微粒化した液滴が、各々が持つ電荷により反発し合い、より均質化が進む。
Next, the effect of charging the injected urea water will be explained. The urea water in the charged state is atomized by the splitting due to electrostatic force, that is, Coulomb splitting. FIG. 4 shows the particle diameter (μm) and distribution density (%) of the urea water spray when a voltage of 5 kV is applied to the urea water from the first charging unit 311 and when no voltage is applied to the urea water (0 kV). ) Shows the relationship with. As shown in FIG. 4, when a voltage of 5 kV is applied from the first charging unit 311 to the urea water, the distribution density of the small particle size is high and the injected urea water is higher than when no voltage is applied to the urea water. It can be seen that atomization is promoted. The atomized droplets repel each other due to the electric charges of the droplets, resulting in further homogenization.
図2に示すように、第2帯電部321は、液体供給部20に設けられている。具体的には、第2帯電部321は、液体供給部20の本体21の外壁において噴孔22の周囲に設けられている。第2帯電部321は、電圧の印加により正または負に帯電する。
As shown in FIG. 2, the second charging section 321 is provided in the liquid supply section 20. Specifically, the second charging section 321 is provided around the injection hole 22 on the outer wall of the main body 21 of the liquid supply section 20. The second charging unit 321 is charged positively or negatively by applying a voltage.
制御部50は、第2帯電部321への電圧の印加を制御することにより、第2帯電部321に帯電させる電荷の極性、および、帯電させる電荷の量等を制御可能である。すなわち、制御部50は、第2帯電部321の作動を制御可能である。
The control unit 50 can control the polarity of the electric charge charged in the second charging unit 321 and the amount of the charged electric charge by controlling the application of the voltage to the second charging unit 321. That is, the control unit 50 can control the operation of the second charging unit 321.
図2に示すように、例えば、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷の極性が正であり、噴射期間終了後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に帯電させた電荷の極性も正の場合、尿素水の噴霧と第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321との間には斥力が生じ、尿素水の噴霧は、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321から遠ざかる方向に移動する。
As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the polarity of the electric charges charged in the urea water at the time of spray formation is positive, and the polarity of the electric charges charged in the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the injection period is also positive. In the case of, repulsive force is generated between the spray of urea water and the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321, and the spray of urea water moves in a direction away from the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321. To do.
このように、制御部50は、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321を帯電させることで、尿素水の噴霧の位置を制御可能である。
In this way, the control unit 50 can control the spray position of the urea water by charging the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321.
また、例えば、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷の極性が正であり、噴射期間終了後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に帯電させた電荷の極性が負の場合、尿素水の噴霧と第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321との間には引力が生じ、尿素水の噴霧は、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に近付く方向に移動する。
In addition, for example, when the polarity of the electric charge charged in the urea water during spray formation is positive and the polarity of the electric charge charged in the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the injection period is negative, the urea water is An attractive force is generated between the spray and the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321, and the spray of urea water moves in a direction approaching the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321.
このように、制御部50は、噴射期間終了後、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷とは逆の極性の電荷を第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に帯電させることで、尿素水の噴霧と第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321との間に引力を生じさせることができる。
In this way, the control unit 50 charges the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 with a charge having a polarity opposite to that of the charge charged in the urea water at the time of spray formation after the injection period ends, and thus the urea is charged. An attractive force can be generated between the water spray and the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321.
図5に示すように、制御部50は、例えば、噴射パルスの始期(t1)と終期(t2)との間の期間である尿素水の噴射期間(t1~t2)、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電圧を印加する。これにより、噴射される尿素の噴霧には、正の電荷が帯電する。そして、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間(t1~t2)終了後の所定期間(t2~t3)、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電圧を印加する。なお、このときの電圧の絶対値は、噴射期間(t1~t2)に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に印加した電圧の絶対値よりも高い。
As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 50 may, for example, a urea water injection period (t1 to t2) that is a period between the start period (t1) and the end period (t2) of the injection pulse, the first charging unit 311 or A positive voltage is applied to the second charging section 321. As a result, the injected urea spray is charged with a positive charge. Then, the control unit 50 applies a positive voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 for a predetermined period (t2 to t3) after the end of the urea water injection period (t1 to t2) from the liquid supply unit 20. Apply. The absolute value of the voltage at this time is higher than the absolute value of the voltage applied to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 during the ejection period (t1 to t2).
尿素水の噴射後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電圧を印加することで、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電荷が帯電し、正の電荷が帯電した噴霧と第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321との間に斥力が生じる。これにより、尿素水の噴霧は、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321から離れる方向に移動する(図6参照)。
By applying a positive voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the injection of the urea water, the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 is positively charged, and the positive charge is charged. A repulsive force is generated between the spray and the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321. As a result, the urea water spray moves in a direction away from the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 (see FIG. 6).
このように、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間終了後の所定期間、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321を帯電させることで、尿素水の噴霧の位置を制御可能である。また、尿素水の噴射後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電圧を印加することで、噴射後の噴孔22内に残留した尿素水を押し出し、後ダレを抑制できる。
As described above, the control unit 50 charges the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 for a predetermined period after the end of the injection period of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 to change the spray position of the urea water. It is controllable. Further, by applying a positive voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the injection of the urea water, the urea water remaining in the injection hole 22 after the injection can be pushed out, and the post sagging can be suppressed.
また、制御部50は、例えば排気管3に設けた図示しないセンサからの信号等に基づき、排気の流速が高い程、噴射期間終了後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に帯電させる電荷の量を大きくする。
Further, the control unit 50, for example, based on a signal from a sensor (not shown) provided in the exhaust pipe 3, the higher the flow velocity of the exhaust gas, the higher the charge to be charged in the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the end of the injection period. Increase the amount of.
また、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間中、排気の流速に応じた電圧を第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に印加する。ここで、制御部50は、排気の流速が高い程、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に印加する電圧の印加量を大きくする。
The control unit 50 also applies a voltage according to the flow velocity of the exhaust gas to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 during the injection period of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20. Here, the control unit 50 increases the application amount of the voltage applied to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 as the flow velocity of the exhaust gas is higher.
また、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間中、例えば排気管3に設けた図示しないセンサからの信号等に基づき、排気の温度に応じた電圧を第1帯電部311に印加する。ここで、制御部50は、排気の温度が低い程、第1帯電部311に印加する電圧の印加量を大きくする。
Further, the control unit 50 supplies a voltage corresponding to the temperature of the exhaust gas to the first charging unit 311 based on a signal from a sensor (not shown) provided in the exhaust pipe 3 during the urea water injection period from the liquid supply unit 20. Apply to. Here, the control unit 50 increases the application amount of the voltage applied to the first charging unit 311 as the temperature of the exhaust gas is lower.
また、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間が短い程、噴射開始よりも前に、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321への電圧の印加を開始する。
Further, the control unit 50 starts applying the voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 before the injection starts, as the injection period of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 becomes shorter.
また、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射の頻度が所定値以上となる期間中、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321への電圧の印加を停止することなく、継続する。
In addition, the control unit 50 does not stop the application of the voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 during the period when the frequency of the injection of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 becomes the predetermined value or more, continue.
図1に示すように、第3帯電部331は、排気管3に設けられる。具体的には、第3帯電部331は、液体供給部20に対し排気流れの下流側であって、触媒10に対し排気流れの上流側に設けられる。第3帯電部331は、例えば、排気管3に沿って筒状に形成または配置されている。第3帯電部331は、電圧の印加により正または負に帯電する。
As shown in FIG. 1, the third charging unit 331 is provided in the exhaust pipe 3. Specifically, the third charging unit 331 is provided downstream of the exhaust flow with respect to the liquid supply unit 20 and upstream of the exhaust flow with respect to the catalyst 10. The third charging unit 331 is, for example, formed or arranged in a tubular shape along the exhaust pipe 3. The third charging unit 331 is positively or negatively charged by applying a voltage.
制御部50は、第3帯電部331への電圧の印加を制御することにより、第3帯電部331に帯電させる電荷の極性、および、帯電させる電荷の量等を制御可能である。すなわち、制御部50は、第3帯電部331の作動を制御可能である。
The control unit 50 can control the polarity of the electric charge charged in the third charging unit 331, the amount of the charged electric charge, and the like by controlling the application of the voltage to the third charging unit 331. That is, the control unit 50 can control the operation of the third charging unit 331.
図1に示すように、例えば、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷の極性が正であり、噴射期間終了後に第3帯電部331に帯電させた電荷の極性も正の場合、尿素水の噴霧と第3帯電部331との間には斥力が生じ、尿素水の噴霧は、第3帯電部331および排気管3の径方向内側に移動する。これにより、尿素水の排気管3の内壁への付着を抑制できる。
As shown in FIG. 1, for example, when the polarity of the electric charge charged in the urea water during spray formation is positive and the polarity of the electric charge charged in the third charging unit 331 after the injection period is also positive, A repulsive force is generated between the spray and the third charging unit 331, and the spray of urea water moves radially inward of the third charging unit 331 and the exhaust pipe 3. This can prevent urea water from adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3.
このように、制御部50は、第3帯電部331を帯電させることで、排気管3における尿素水の噴霧の位置を制御可能である。ここで、制御部50は、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷を第3帯電部331に帯電させることで、尿素水の排気管3の内壁へ付着することで生じる、噴霧の偏り、および、デポジット形成を抑制できる。
In this way, the control unit 50 can control the position of the spray of urea water in the exhaust pipe 3 by charging the third charging unit 331. Here, the control unit 50 charges the third charging unit 331 with a charge having the same polarity as the charge charged in the urea water at the time of forming the spray, thereby causing the urea water to adhere to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3. Uneven spraying and deposit formation can be suppressed.

S202では、制御部50は、排気の流速から、第3帯電部331に電圧を印加する期間である印加期間を算出する。具体的には、制御部50は、排気の流速に基づき、尿素水の噴霧が第3帯電部331を通過する時間を推定し、推定した時間に基づき、印加期間を算出する。S202の後、処理はS203へ移行する。
In S202, the control unit 50 calculates an application period, which is a period in which the voltage is applied to the third charging unit 331, from the flow velocity of exhaust gas. Specifically, the control unit 50 estimates the time for the urea water spray to pass through the third charging unit 331 based on the flow velocity of the exhaust gas, and calculates the application period based on the estimated time. After S202, the process proceeds to S203.
S203では、制御部50は、第3帯電部331に電圧を印加する。これにより、第3帯電部331を通過する尿素水の噴霧が排気管3の内壁に付着するのを抑制できる。S203の後、処理はS204へ移行する。
In S203, the control unit 50 applies a voltage to the third charging unit 331. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the spray of urea water passing through the third charging unit 331 from adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3. After S203, the process proceeds to S204.
S204では、制御部50は、S202で算出した印加期間の終了後、第3帯電部331への電圧の印加を停止する。S204の後、制御部50は、一連の処理S200を終了する。
In S204, the control unit 50 stops applying the voltage to the third charging unit 331 after the application period calculated in S202 ends. After S204, the control unit 50 ends the series of processes S200.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 applies the voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 before the start of injection, as the injection period of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 is shorter.

また、本実施形態では、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射の頻度が所定値以上となる期間中、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321への電圧の印加を継続する。そのため、噴霧への帯電の遅れを効果的に抑制し、静電効果を確保できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 applies the voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 during the period when the frequency of the injection of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 is equal to or higher than the predetermined value. continue. Therefore, the delay of charging to the spray can be effectively suppressed and the electrostatic effect can be secured.

The control unit 50 can control the position of the spray of urea water in the exhaust pipe 3 by charging the third charging unit 331. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the spray of the urea water from adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3, and to make the spray uniform and suppress the deposit. Further, it is possible to suppress the density of the spray during the exhaust.
また、本実施形態では、第3帯電部331は、液体供給部20の下流に設けられる。制御部50は、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷を第3帯電部331に帯電させる。そのため、尿素水の噴霧の排気管3の内壁への付着を抑制できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, the third charging unit 331 is provided downstream of the liquid supply unit 20. The control unit 50 charges the third charging unit 331 with a charge having the same polarity as the charge charged in the urea water during spray formation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the spray of urea water from adhering to the inner wall of the exhaust pipe 3.
また、本実施形態では、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射開始後の所定期間である印加期間のみ、第3帯電部331に電圧を印加する。そのため、第3帯電部331の消費電力を抑制できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 applies the voltage to the third charging unit 331 only during the application period which is a predetermined period after the injection of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20 is started.

FIG. 8 shows a part of the liquid supply system according to the second embodiment. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the
本実施形態では、排気管3は、排気流れの上流側から下流側に向かって曲がる曲がり部4を有している。曲がり部4は、第3帯電部331に対し排気流れの上流側に形成されている。液体供給部20は、曲がり部4に対し排気流れの上流側に設けられる。
In the present embodiment, the exhaust pipe 3 has a bent portion 4 that bends from the upstream side to the downstream side of the exhaust flow. The bent portion 4 is formed on the upstream side of the exhaust flow with respect to the third charging portion 331. The liquid supply part 20 is provided upstream of the exhaust flow with respect to the bending part 4.
本実施形態では、第3帯電部332をさらに備えている。第3帯電部332は、曲がり部4に設けられる。第3帯電部332は、内側帯電部333、外側帯電部334を有している。内側帯電部333は、排気管3の曲がり部4の曲げ半径の内側に設けられる。外側帯電部334は、排気管3の曲がり部4の曲げ半径の外側に設けられる。
In the present embodiment, the third charging unit 332 is further provided. The third charging section 332 is provided on the bending section 4. The third charging section 332 has an inner charging section 333 and an outer charging section 334. The inner charging portion 333 is provided inside the bending radius of the bent portion 4 of the exhaust pipe 3. The outer charging portion 334 is provided outside the bending radius of the bent portion 4 of the exhaust pipe 3.
制御部50は、第3帯電部332の内側帯電部333、外側帯電部334への電圧の印加を制御することにより、内側帯電部333、外側帯電部334に帯電させる電荷の極性、および、帯電させる電荷の量等を制御可能である。すなわち、制御部50は、内側帯電部333、外側帯電部334の作動を制御可能である。
The control unit 50 controls the voltage application to the inner charging unit 333 and the outer charging unit 334 of the third charging unit 332 to control the polarity of the charge to be charged to the inner charging unit 333 and the outer charging unit 334, and the charging It is possible to control the amount of electric charges to be generated. That is, the control unit 50 can control the operations of the inner charging unit 333 and the outer charging unit 334.
制御部50は、例えば、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷である正の電荷とは逆の極性の電荷である負の電荷を内側帯電部333に帯電させ、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷である正の電荷を外側帯電部334に帯電させる(図8参照)。そのため、液体供給部20から噴射された後、曲がり部4を通過する尿素水の噴霧には、外側帯電部334からは反力が作用し、内側帯電部333からは引力が作用する。これにより、噴霧は、曲がり部4において遠心力を受けつつも排気管3の中心付近を通過する。
For example, the control unit 50 charges the inner charging unit 333 with a negative charge having a polarity opposite to the positive charge that is the charge charged in the urea water during spray formation, and charges the urea water during the spray formation. The outer charging section 334 is charged with positive charges having the same polarity as the applied charges (see FIG. 8). Therefore, a reaction force acts from the outer charging portion 334, and an attractive force acts from the inner charging portion 333, to the spray of urea water that has passed through the bending portion 4 after being ejected from the liquid supply portion 20. As a result, the spray passes near the center of the exhaust pipe 3 while being subjected to the centrifugal force in the bent portion 4.
また、制御部50は、排気の流速が高くなるに従い、内側帯電部333および外側帯電部334に印加する電圧の印加量を増大させる。
Further, the control unit 50 increases the applied amount of the voltage applied to the inner charging unit 333 and the outer charging unit 334 as the flow velocity of the exhaust gas increases.
以上説明したように、本実施形態では、第3帯電部332は、排気管3の曲がり部4の曲げ半径の内側に設けられた内側帯電部333、および、曲がり部4の曲げ半径の外側に設けられた外側帯電部334を有している。制御部50は、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷とは逆の極性の電荷を内側帯電部333に帯電させ、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷を外側帯電部334に帯電させる。そのため、液体供給部20から噴射された後、曲がり部4を通過する尿素水の噴霧には、外側帯電部334からは反力が作用し、内側帯電部333からは引力が作用する。これにより、噴霧は、曲がり部4において遠心力を受けつつも排気管3の中心付近を通過する。その結果、噴霧が排気管3の曲がり部4の内壁に付着するのを抑制できる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, the third charging portion 332 is provided inside the bending radius of the bent portion 4 of the exhaust pipe 3 and inside the bending radius of the bending portion 4 outside the bending radius of the bending portion 4. It has an outer charging section 334 provided. The control unit 50 charges the inner charging unit 333 with a charge having a polarity opposite to the charge charged in the urea water during spray formation, and charges the outer charging unit with a charge having the same polarity as the charge charged in the urea water during spray formation. 334 is charged. Therefore, a reaction force acts from the outer charging portion 334, and an attractive force acts from the inner charging portion 333, to the spray of urea water that has passed through the bending portion 4 after being ejected from the liquid supply portion 20. As a result, the spray passes near the center of the exhaust pipe 3 while being subjected to the centrifugal force in the bent portion 4. As a result, it is possible to prevent the spray from adhering to the inner wall of the bent portion 4 of the exhaust pipe 3.
また、本実施形態では、制御部50は、排気の流速が高くなるに従い、内側帯電部333および外側帯電部334に印加する電圧の印加量を増大させる。そのため、曲がり部4において排気の流れの剥離等により噴霧が偏るのを効果的に抑制できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 increases the application amount of the voltage applied to the inner charging unit 333 and the outer charging unit 334 as the flow velocity of exhaust gas increases. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress uneven spraying at the bent portion 4 due to separation of the flow of exhaust gas or the like.

A liquid supply system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of theexhaust pipe 3 and the like.
第3実施形態による液体供給システムについて図9、10に基づき説明する。第3実施形態は、排気管3の構成等が第1実施形態と異なる。 (Third Embodiment)
A liquid supply system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the
本実施形態では、排気管3は、排気流れの上流側から下流側に向かって曲がる曲がり部4を有している。液体供給部20は、曲がり部4に対し排気流れの上流側に設けられる(図10参照)。具体的には、液体供給部20は、曲がり部4の曲がり半径の内側の部分に対し上流側に設けられ、曲がり部4の曲がり半径の内側から外側へ向かう方向に沿って尿素水を噴射可能である。
In the present embodiment, the exhaust pipe 3 has a bent portion 4 that bends from the upstream side to the downstream side of the exhaust flow. The liquid supply part 20 is provided on the upstream side of the exhaust flow with respect to the bending part 4 (see FIG. 10). Specifically, the liquid supply unit 20 is provided on the upstream side with respect to the portion inside the bending radius of the bending portion 4, and can inject urea water along the direction from the inside of the bending radius of the bending portion 4 to the outside. Is.
図9に示すように、制御部50は、例えば、噴射パルスの始期(t1)と終期(t2)との間の期間である尿素水の噴射期間(t1~t2)、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に正の電圧を印加する。これにより、噴射される尿素の噴霧には、正の電荷が帯電する。そして、制御部50は、液体供給部20からの尿素水の噴射期間(t1~t2)終了後の所定期間(t2~t3)、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に負の電圧を印加する。なお、このときの電圧の絶対値は、噴射期間(t1~t2)に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に印加した電圧の絶対値よりも高い。
As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 50 may, for example, a urea water injection period (t1 to t2) that is a period between the start (t1) and end (t2) of the injection pulse, the first charging unit 311 or A positive voltage is applied to the second charging section 321. As a result, the injected urea spray is charged with a positive charge. Then, the control unit 50 applies a negative voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 for a predetermined period (t2 to t3) after the end of the injection period (t1 to t2) of the urea water from the liquid supply unit 20. Apply. The absolute value of the voltage at this time is higher than the absolute value of the voltage applied to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 during the ejection period (t1 to t2).
尿素水の噴射後に第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に負の電圧を印加することで、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に負の電荷が帯電し、正の電荷が帯電した噴霧と第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321との間に引力が生じる。これにより、尿素水の噴霧は、第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に近付く方向に移動する(図10参照)。これにより、噴霧は、曲がり部4において遠心力を受けつつも排気管3の中心付近を通過する。その結果、噴霧が排気管3の曲がり部4の内壁に付着するのを抑制できる。
By applying a negative voltage to the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 after the injection of the urea water, the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 is charged with a negative charge and the positive charge is charged. An attractive force is generated between the spray and the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321. As a result, the spray of urea water moves in a direction approaching the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 (see FIG. 10). As a result, the spray passes near the center of the exhaust pipe 3 while being subjected to the centrifugal force in the bent portion 4. As a result, it is possible to prevent the spray from adhering to the inner wall of the bent portion 4 of the exhaust pipe 3.
以上説明したように、本実施形態では、制御部50は、噴射期間終了後、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷とは逆の極性の電荷を第1帯電部311または第2帯電部321に帯電させる。これにより、噴射後の遠心力等の影響を見越し、噴霧を液体供給部20の近傍に留めることができる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, after the injection period ends, the control unit 50 causes the first charging unit 311 or the second charging unit 321 to apply a charge having a polarity opposite to the charge charged in the urea water at the time of spray formation. To charge. As a result, the spray can be kept in the vicinity of the liquid supply unit 20 in anticipation of the influence of the centrifugal force and the like after the injection.

第4実施形態による液体供給システムの一部を図11に示す。第4実施形態は、「下帯電部」としての第4帯電部341をさらに備える点等で第1実施形態と異なる。 (Fourth Embodiment)
FIG. 11 shows a part of the liquid supply system according to the fourth embodiment. The fourth embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it further includes a
本実施形態は、第4帯電部341、検出部70をさらに備える。図11に示すように、第4帯電部341は、排気管3に設けられる。具体的には、第4帯電部341は、第3帯電部331に対し排気流れの下流側であって、触媒10に対し排気流れの上流側に設けられる。第4帯電部341は、例えば、円形の網状に形成されている。第4帯電部341は、電圧の印加により正または負に帯電する。
The present embodiment further includes a fourth charging unit 341 and a detection unit 70. As shown in FIG. 11, the fourth charging unit 341 is provided in the exhaust pipe 3. Specifically, the fourth charging unit 341 is provided on the downstream side of the exhaust flow with respect to the third charging unit 331 and on the upstream side of the exhaust flow with respect to the catalyst 10. The fourth charging unit 341 is formed, for example, in a circular net shape. The fourth charging unit 341 is positively or negatively charged by applying a voltage.
制御部50は、第4帯電部341への電圧の印加を制御することにより、第4帯電部341に帯電させる電荷の極性、および、帯電させる電荷の量等を制御可能である。すなわち、制御部50は、第4帯電部341の作動を制御可能である。
The control unit 50 can control the polarity of the electric charge charged in the fourth charging unit 341, the amount of the charged electric charge, and the like by controlling the voltage application to the fourth charging unit 341. That is, the control unit 50 can control the operation of the fourth charging unit 341.
制御部50は、尿素水の噴霧が第4帯電部341を通過するよりも前に、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷を第4帯電部341に帯電させる。そのため、尿素水の噴霧は、第4帯電部341を通過するよりも前に、第4帯電部341からの反発力により速度が低下する。これにより、触媒10の上流側または触媒10において尿素水が気化する時間を確保できる。
The control unit 50 charges the fourth charging unit 341 with an electric charge having the same polarity as the electric charge charged in the urea water during spray formation, before the spray of urea water passes through the fourth charging unit 341. Therefore, the speed of spraying the urea water decreases due to the repulsive force from the fourth charging unit 341 before passing through the fourth charging unit 341. As a result, it is possible to secure the time for the urea water to vaporize on the upstream side of the catalyst 10 or in the catalyst 10.
検出部70は、触媒10の内部に複数設けられる。検出部70は、例えば、触媒10の径方向および周方向に均等に配置される。検出部70は、例えば温度センサであって、触媒10の内部において周囲の温度を検出可能である。検出部70は、検出した温度に対応する信号を制御部50に送信する。
A plurality of detection units 70 are provided inside the catalyst 10. The detection units 70 are evenly arranged in the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the catalyst 10, for example. The detection unit 70 is, for example, a temperature sensor and can detect the ambient temperature inside the catalyst 10. The detection unit 70 transmits a signal corresponding to the detected temperature to the control unit 50.
制御部50は、複数の検出部70からの信号に基づき、触媒10における反応物質である尿素またはアンモニアの分布を推定可能である。制御部50は、推定した反応物質の分布に基づき、第3帯電部331に電圧を印加する。これにより、第3帯電部331を通過する噴霧の位置を制御し、触媒10における反応物質の分布の偏りを抑制可能である。
The control unit 50 can estimate the distribution of the reactant urea or ammonia in the catalyst 10 based on the signals from the plurality of detection units 70. The controller 50 applies a voltage to the third charging unit 331 based on the estimated distribution of the reactant. This makes it possible to control the position of the spray passing through the third charging unit 331 and suppress the uneven distribution of the reactant in the catalyst 10.
次に、本実施形態の制御部50による、触媒10における反応物質の分布の推定、および、第3帯電部331の制御に関する処理について、図12、13に基づき説明する。図12に示す一連の処理S300は、例えば車両のイグニッションキーがオンされ制御部50が起動すると実行される。
Next, the processing relating to the estimation of the distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10 and the control of the third charging unit 331 by the control unit 50 of the present embodiment will be described based on FIGS. A series of processing S300 shown in FIG. 12 is executed, for example, when the ignition key of the vehicle is turned on and the control unit 50 is activated.
S301では、制御部50は、触媒10における反応物質の分布を推定する。具体的には、制御部50は、図13に示す一連の処理S400を実行することにより、触媒10における反応物質の分布を推定する。
In S301, the control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10. Specifically, the control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactant in the catalyst 10 by executing the series of processing S400 shown in FIG.
S401では、制御部50は、現在の触媒10の温度分布を取得する。具体的には、触媒10内部に設けた複数の検出部70からの信号に基づき、現在の触媒10の温度分布を取得する。S401の後、処理はS402へ移行する。
In S401, the control unit 50 acquires the current temperature distribution of the catalyst 10. Specifically, the current temperature distribution of the catalyst 10 is acquired based on the signals from the plurality of detection units 70 provided inside the catalyst 10. After S401, the process proceeds to S402.
S402では、制御部50は、排気と触媒10との温度差ΔTに基づき、触媒10における反応物質の分布を推定する。
In S402, the control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10 based on the temperature difference ΔT between the exhaust gas and the catalyst 10.
触媒10において反応物質が反応するとき、反応熱が生じる。よって、図14に示すように、排気と触媒10との温度差ΔTが大きい程、触媒10上の反応物質である尿素またはアンモニアの量は多いと考えられる。そのため、制御部50は、S401で取得した触媒10の温度分布に基づき、排気との温度差ΔTが大きい位置程、反応物質の量が多いと推定し、触媒10の径方向における反応物質の分布を推定する(図15参照)。図15に示すように、触媒10上の数字が大きい位置程、反応物質の量が多いと推定する。制御部50は、S402の後、S400を終了し、S302に移行する。
When the reactants react in the catalyst 10, heat of reaction is generated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, it is considered that the larger the temperature difference ΔT between the exhaust gas and the catalyst 10, the larger the amount of urea or ammonia that is a reactant on the catalyst 10. Therefore, based on the temperature distribution of the catalyst 10 acquired in S401, the control unit 50 estimates that the larger the temperature difference ΔT with the exhaust gas is, the larger the amount of the reactant is, and the distribution of the reactant in the radial direction of the catalyst 10. Is estimated (see FIG. 15). As shown in FIG. 15, it is estimated that the larger the number on the catalyst 10, the larger the amount of the reactant. After S402, the control unit 50 ends S400 and proceeds to S302.
S302では、制御部50は、推定した触媒10における反応物質の分布に基づき、触媒10において静電力をかける方向、大きさを決定する。S302の後、処理はS302へ移行する。
In S302, the control unit 50 determines the direction and size of the electrostatic force to be applied to the catalyst 10 based on the estimated distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10. After S302, the process proceeds to S302.
S303では、制御部50は、S302で決定した、触媒10において静電力をかける方向、大きさに基づき、第3帯電部331に電圧を印加する。具体的には、第3帯電部331のうち、反応物質の量が多い側に正の電荷を帯電させ、反応物質の量が少ない側に負の電荷を帯電させる。これにより、正の電荷が帯電した尿素水の噴霧は、触媒10における反応物質の分布の少ない方向へ移動する。これにより、第3帯電部331を通過する噴霧の位置を制御し、触媒10における反応物質の分布の偏りを抑制可能である。
In S303, the control unit 50 applies a voltage to the third charging unit 331 based on the direction and magnitude of the electrostatic force applied to the catalyst 10 determined in S302. Specifically, in the third charging unit 331, the side having a large amount of the reaction substance is charged with a positive charge, and the side having a small amount of the reaction substance is charged with a negative charge. As a result, the spray of urea water having a positive charge moves in the direction in which the distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10 is small. This makes it possible to control the position of the spray passing through the third charging unit 331 and suppress the uneven distribution of the reactant in the catalyst 10.
なお、このとき、制御部50は、図16に示すように、排気との温度差が大きい程、すなわち、推定した分布の偏りが大きい程、第3帯電部331への電圧の印加量を大きくする。S303の後、制御部50は、一連の処理S300を終了する。
At this time, as shown in FIG. 16, the control unit 50 increases the amount of voltage applied to the third charging unit 331 as the temperature difference from the exhaust gas is larger, that is, the estimated distribution bias is larger. To do. After S303, the control unit 50 ends the series of processes S300.
制御部50は、S303の後、一連の処理S300を終了し、その後、再び処理S300を開始する。このように、処理S300は、制御部50の起動中、繰り返し実行される処理である。
The control unit 50 ends the series of processes S300 after S303, and then starts the process S300 again. As described above, the process S300 is a process that is repeatedly executed during the activation of the control unit 50.
以上説明したように、本実施形態では、液体供給部20から噴射される液体は、液体供給部20の下流に設けられた触媒10上で反応する反応物質である尿素またはアンモニアを含む液体である。制御部50は、触媒10の径方向の反応物質の分布を推定し、推定した分布に基づき、反応物質の分布の少ない方向へ尿素水の噴霧が移動するよう、第3帯電部331への電圧の印加を制御する。これにより、触媒10における反応物質の分布を均一化し、触媒10の利用率を向上させることができる。
As described above, in the present embodiment, the liquid ejected from the liquid supply unit 20 is a liquid containing urea or ammonia that is a reaction substance that reacts on the catalyst 10 provided downstream of the liquid supply unit 20. .. The control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactant in the radial direction of the catalyst 10, and based on the estimated distribution, the voltage to the third charging unit 331 is adjusted so that the urea water spray moves in the direction in which the distribution of the reactant is small. Control the application of. Thereby, the distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10 can be made uniform, and the utilization rate of the catalyst 10 can be improved.
また、本実施形態では、制御部50は、触媒10の内部に設けられ周囲の温度を検出可能な複数の検出部70により検出した温度に基づき、触媒10の径方向の反応物質の分布を推定する。このように、本実施形態では、触媒10における反応物質の反応熱に基づき、触媒10の径方向の反応物質の分布を推定する。
Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactant in the radial direction of the catalyst 10 based on the temperatures detected by the plurality of detection units 70 provided inside the catalyst 10 and capable of detecting the ambient temperature. To do. As described above, in the present embodiment, the distribution of the reactant in the radial direction of the catalyst 10 is estimated based on the reaction heat of the reactant in the catalyst 10.
また、本実施形態では、制御部50は、触媒10の径方向の反応物質の分布を推定し、推定した分布の偏りが大きい程、第3帯電部331への電圧の印加量を大きくする。これにより、触媒10における反応物質の分布の偏りを速やかに抑制できる。
Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 estimates the distribution of the reactants in the radial direction of the catalyst 10, and increases the amount of voltage applied to the third charging unit 331 as the estimated distribution bias increases. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly suppress the uneven distribution of the reactants in the catalyst 10.
また、本実施形態は、第4帯電部341をさらに備える。第4帯電部341は、液体供給部20の下流に設けられた触媒10の上流側に設けられ、電圧の印加により帯電する。そのため、噴霧形成時に尿素水に帯電させた電荷と同じ極性の電荷を第4帯電部341に帯電させた場合、尿素水の噴霧は、第4帯電部341を通過するとき、第4帯電部341からの反発力により速度が低下する。これにより、触媒10の上流側または触媒10において尿素水が気化する時間を確保できる。

In addition, in the present embodiment, the control unit 50 causes the fourth charging unit to apply the charge having the same polarity as the charge charged in the urea water at the time of forming the spray, before the spray of the urea water passes through the fourth charging unit 341. 341 is charged. Therefore, the speed of spraying the urea water decreases due to the repulsive force from the fourth charging unit 341 before passing through the fourth charging unit 341. As a result, it is possible to secure a sufficient time for the urea water to vaporize on the upstream side of the catalyst 10 or on the catalyst 10.
