Publication number: 20190275465Abstract: An abnormality diagnosis system for an exhaust gas purification device performs abnormality diagnosis of an SCR catalyst on the basis of the concentration of ammonia in exhaust gas in the region downstream of the SCR catalyst. The system includes a controller configured to estimate the amount of ammonia adsorbed in the SCR catalyst in an abnormal condition (ammonia adsorption amount in abnormal condition) and the amount of ammonia adsorbed in the SCR catalyst in a normal condition (ammonia adsorption amount in normal condition). When performing abnormality diagnosis of the SCR catalyst, the controller supplies reducing agent so as to make the ammonia adsorption amount in abnormal condition larger than a first predetermined adsorption amount equal to or larger than a slip start adsorption amount in abnormal condition and to make the ammonia adsorption amount in normal condition smaller than a second predetermined adsorption amount equal to or smaller than a slip start adsorption amount in normal condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2017Publication date: September 12, 2019Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takeru SHIRASAWA, Toru KIDOKORO, Makoto OGISO, Kenji FURUI, Kenta HIROOKA

Patent number: 10385752Abstract: An amount of reducing agent adsorbed on a NOx catalyst when a reducing agent supply device is normal and a corresponding detected value may be estimated. The corresponding detected value may be detected by a NOx sensor, and the detected value may correspond to an amount of reducing agent adsorbed on the NOx catalyst. When the estimated amount of adsorption is larger than or equal to a first amount and is smaller than or equal to a second amount, a diagnosis of the NOx catalyst based on the detected value of the NOx sensor may be prevented. The first amount may be an amount of adsorbed reducing agent corresponding to a minimum value of the corresponding detected value. The second amount may be an amount of adsorbed reducing agent corresponding to the corresponding detected value when the amount of adsorbed reducing agent is zero and larger than the first amount.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Arifumi Matsumoto, Taiga Hagimoto, Kenji Furui, Makoto Ogiso, Toru Kidokoro

Patent number: 10119448Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may improve the accuracy of diagnosis in diagnosing whether an exhaust gas purification system having an SCR filter is faulty. It is determined that the exhaust gas purification system is faulty if the NOx removal rate with the SCR filter calculated using a measurement value of an NOx sensor is lower than or equal to a predetermined criterion removal rate. In the apparatus, a differential pressure change rate defined as the increase in a converted differential pressure value per unit increase in the filter PM deposition amount is calculated. The value of the criterion removal rate is set higher when the differential pressure change rate at the time when the measurement value of the NOx sensor is obtained is lower than a predetermined threshold than when the differential pressure change rate is higher than or equal to the predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toru Kidokoro, Makoto Ogiso, Kenji Furui, Arifumi Matsumoto, Takeru Shirasawa

Patent number: 10066533Abstract: A device is provided, which makes it possible to perform a failure diagnostics for a filter more accurately even in the case of an internal combustion engine which is constructed to be capable of using both of gaseous fuel and liquid fuel. The device of the invention comprises judging means which judges any failure of the filter by comparing the added-up amount of the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas as detected by a PM amount detecting sensor during a predetermined period and the added-up amount of the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas as estimated by PM amount estimating means during the predetermined period, wherein the PM amount estimating means estimates the added-up amount of the particulate matter contained in the exhaust gas on the basis of the predetermined parameter and only a fuel injection amount of the liquid fuel out of a fuel injection amount of the gaseous fuel and the fuel injection amount of the liquid fuel.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tomoyuki Kogo, Makoto Ogiso, Taiga Hagimoto

Patent number: 9995197Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may estimate the amount of ammonia adsorbed in an SCR catalyst as accurately as possible. The ammonia adsorption amount is calculated by integrating the quantity of ammonia supplied to the SCR filter, the quantity of ammonia consumed in reduction of NOx in the SCR catalyst, and the quantity of ammonia desorbed from the SCR catalyst. In the calculation, a differential pressure change rate defined as the increase in a converted differential pressure value per unit increase in the filter PM deposition amount is referred to. The ammonia desorption quantity is calculated in such a way that the calculated value of the ammonia desorption quantity is made smaller when the differential pressure change rate is smaller than a predetermined threshold than when the differential pressure change rate is equal to or higher than the predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toru Kidokoro, Makoto Ogiso, Yuriko Hagimoto, Takeru Shirasawa, Ryohei Ohno, Kenji Furui
