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: 8974563Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system includes a diesel particulate filter (“DPF”) which collects particulate matter (“PM”) in exhaust gas, an exhaust pipe injector which performs exhaust pipe injection, and a DPF regeneration control unit which performs temperature rise control of an exhaust gas temperature by the exhaust pipe injection to regenerate the DPF when the PM collected by the DPF exceeds a fixed amount and which, during the regeneration, integrates an amount of time during which the exhaust gas temperature exceeds a PM combustion temperature and completes the regeneration when an integrated value thereof reaches a set regeneration completion value. The DPF regeneration control unit aborts the regeneration when, during regeneration, a total amount of the exhaust pipe injection exceeds an upper limit before the integrated value.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takashi Haseyama, Shinji Gotou, Hiroyuki Oohira

Patent number: 8961668Abstract: An exhaust gas purification system with which a frequency of diesel particulate filter (“DPF”) regeneration requests can be reduced during long low idle regeneration, thereby improving convenience, including a control unit that performs regeneration control on a DPF provided at an exhaust pipe of an engine. The control unit includes a particulate matter (“PM”) accumulation amount predictor for predicting the amount of PM accumulated by calculating a cumulated value of the PM in an idling state. The control unit starts calculating the cumulated value of the PM by the PM accumulation amount predictor after a first predetermined time has elapsed since a detection of the idling state.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2011Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takashi Haseyama, Hiroyuki Oohira, Shinji Gotou

Patent number: 8646254Abstract: Forced regeneration start timing of a diesel particulate filter for purifying particulate matter in exhaust gas is judged based on a comparison of a differential pressure across the diesel particulate filter with a predetermined differential pressure threshold across the filter. The predetermined differential pressure threshold is set by multiplying a reference differential pressure threshold by a coefficient which varies stepwise or continuously depending on a mileage of a vehicle after previous forced regeneration. Consequently, particulate matter can be removed by burning while the amount of particulate matter accumulated unevenly in the filter is still small, and excessive temperature rise in the filter resulting from excessive accumulation of particulate matter during forced regeneration and melting-loss of the filter due to excessive temperature rise can be prevented.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2007Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takao Onodera, Akira Hirata, Takashi Haseyama, Shinji Gotou, Hitoshi Satou, Tatsuo Mashiko, Futoshi Nakano, Kouichirou Yomogida

Publication number: 20100024395Abstract: In a control method of an exhaust emission purification system (1) and the exhaust emission purification system (1), an exhaust throttle valve (14) is opened if an engine load reaches at least a predetermined first judgment value during execution of forced regeneration control with said exhaust throttle valve (14) closed when a vehicle is stopping. If the engine load thereby increases during execution of forced regeneration of a DPF (12) for purifying PM (particulate matter) in exhaust gas with the exhaust throttle valve (14) closed when the vehicle is stopping, a good combustion state can be sustained in a cylinder by opening the exhaust throttle valve (14) and taking fresh air into the cylinder of an engine (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2007Publication date: February 4, 2010Inventors: Shinji Gotou, Takashi Haseyama, Takao Onodera, Tatsuo Mashiko
