Patent number: 9856809Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, an exhaust purification catalyst and a hydrocarbon feed valve are arranged in an exhaust passage. When a temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a first catalyst temperature region (I), a first NOX purification method is performed, while when a temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a second catalyst temperature region (II), a second NOX purification method is performed. When the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls in a region (IIP) in the second catalyst temperature region close to the first catalyst temperature region, the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst is made to increase to shift the region in which the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst falls to the first catalyst temperature region to thereby switch the NOX purification method used from the second NOX purification method to the first NOX purification method.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yoshito Nogi, Yusuke Nozaki, Yuki Haba

Patent number: 9631535Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, a hydrocarbon feed valve (15) and an exhaust purification catalyst (13) are arranged in an engine exhaust passage. When releasing the stored NOx from the exhaust purification catalyst (13), usually combustion gas of a rich air-fuel ratio is generated in the combustion chamber (2) to make the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst (13) rich. When releasing the stored NOx from the exhaust purification catalyst (13) in case where the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst (13) is low, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst (13) is made rich by injecting hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon feed valve (15).Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuki Haba, Yusuke Nozaki, Kohei Yoshida

Patent number: 9617893Abstract: In an internal combustion engine, a hydrocarbon feed valve and an exhaust purification catalyst are arranged in an engine exhaust passage. A first NOX removal method which reduces NOX contained in an exhaust gas by a reducing intermediate which is generated by injecting hydrocarbons from the hydrocarbon feed valve within a predetermined range of period and a second NOX removal method in which an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst is made rich by a period which is longer than this predetermined range are used. The switching temperatures ST and ST0 of the exhaust purification catalyst at which temperature an NOX removal method is switched from the second NOX removal method to the first NOX removal method, are made lower if the amount of NOX in the exhaust gas flowing into the exhaust purification catalyst increases.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yuki Bisaiji, Kohei Yoshida, Yuki Haba, Yusuke Nozaki
