Patent number: 8973350Abstract: In forced regeneration control of an exhaust gas purification device 12, data for control such as the number of meshes of a data map and the number of data maps for forced regeneration control is reduced and occurrence of torque shock is avoided by smoothly changing a fuel pressure. In the forced regeneration control of the exhaust gas purification device, when an operation state of an internal combustion engine is in a high-load operation state, normal injection control by stopping multi injection is carried out and according to a rotation speed and a load of the internal combustion engine, a region for control is divided into a multi-injection control region, a transition region, and a normal injection control region, and in the transition region, data for fuel pressure control obtained by interpolation of data for fuel pressure control on the multi-injection control region side and data for fuel pressure control on the normal injection control region side is used.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takashi Haseyama, Shinji Gotou, Kenji Hagio, Tatsuo Mashiko, Yoshinobu Watanabe

Patent number: 8549843Abstract: In in-cylinder fuel multi-injection conducted during forced regeneration of a diesel particulate filter (“DPF”), control maps for multi-injection are constructed so as to be different for a first gas temperature raising control, which raises a catalyst temperature index temperature to a first judgment temperature only by multi-injection, and for a subsequent second exhaust gas temperature raising control, wherein post-injection is conducted in addition to multi-injection to raise a filter temperature index temperature to a second judgment temperature. In so doing, exhaust gas flowing into the DPF can be rapidly raised in temperature when performing forced regeneration of the DPF, thereby shortening the forced regeneration time and improving fuel consumption for forced regeneration.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2006Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Kenji Hagio, Takashi Ikeda, Shigeru Ikeda, Takao Onodera, Tatsuo Mashiko
