  • Patent number: 7181909
    Abstract: When a forced regeneration is restarted after interrupting the forced regeneration, and in at least any one of cases where the collecting quantity area (Rpj) detected by the collecting quantity area detection means (32C) is in another collecting quantity area having a collecting quantity larger than that of the collecting quantity area (Rpi) immediately after interruption, or where the travel distance area (Rmj) detected by the travel distance area detection means (33C) is in another travel distance area, having a travel distance larger than that of the travel distance area (Rmi) immediately after interruption, the forced regeneration is performed from the start, and in other case, the forced regeneration is performed for the remained period of time of the previous forced regeneration, continuing to the previous forced regeneration.

  • Patent number: 7168244
    Abstract: When an engine cooling water temperature (Tw) detected by a cooling water temperature detection means (37C) exceeds a predetermined judgment water temperatures (Tw1 and Tw2) during the forced regeneration control of a filter using exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C), the actuation of the exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C) is interrupted. Thereby, in the case of the exhaust gas purification system having a DPF apparatus (13), it is possible to prevent a water temperature meter in a driver seat from abnormally rising during the forced regeneration of a DPF (13b) and to prevent a driver from taking the abnormal rise of the water temperature meter for an engine trouble.

  • Patent number: 7104050
    Abstract: A method and system providing a vehicle condition detection means (38C) for detecting the stopped and traveling state of a vehicle, and when the vehicle condition detection means (38C) detects that the vehicle has stopped during operation of an exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C), closing an exhaust gas throttling valve (16) in addition to continuing the operation of the exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C), and subsequently, when the vehicle's traveling state is detected, opening the exhaust gas throttling valve (16) and continuing the operation of the exhaust gas temperature raising means (351C).

  • Patent number: 7043903
    Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system (1) including a continuous regeneration-type DPF (13) and a DPF control (30c) is composed to perform an exhaust gas temperature raising control by multi-injection in the case where the collecting quantity (?Pm) exceeds a first temperature rising judgment collecting quantity (?P01) lower than a predetermined collecting quantity (?P1) and, thereafter, to stop the exhaust gas temperature raising control by multi-injection in the case where the collecting quantity (?Pm) becomes lower than a predetermined second temperature rising judgment collecting quantity (?P02) lower than the predetermined first temperature rising judgment collecting quantity (?P01).
