Patent number: 8627652Abstract: In forced regeneration control of an exhaust gas purification device a number of data for injection control, such as a number of meshes of a data map and a number of data maps for multi injection control, is decreased while occurrence of torque shock, which is a rapid fluctuation of a generated torque, is avoided. In this forced regeneration control, when an operation state of an internal combustion engine is a high-load operation state, the normal injection control by stopping the 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. In the transition region, data for injection control obtained by interpolation of data for injection control on the multi-injection control region side and data for injection control on the normal injection control region side is used.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2007Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takuro Iwashita, Tetsuya Murata, Takashi Ikeda, Tatsuo Mashiko

Patent number: 8316637Abstract: In emergency regeneration, i.e., after a judgment is made that purification is insufficient after ending forced regeneration, forced regeneration has expired before completion, or when a pressure difference across a diesel particulate filter exceeds a predetermined first judging pressure difference when traveling distance of a vehicle is shorter than a predetermined distance, an alarm for urging manual regeneration is issued. When manual regeneration is designated thereafter by the vehicle's user, manual regeneration is performed. When predetermined conditions are satisfied before receiving a designation of manual regeneration, automatic regeneration is performed.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2008Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Isuzu Motors LimitedInventors: Takuro Iwashita, Tetsuya Murata, Hitoshi Satou, Takao Onodera, Tatsuo Mashiko
