Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To supply reducing agent uniformly in the direction of exhaust flow, and in the radial direction, in the exhaust purifying catalyst. SOLUTION: An NOx absorber 17 that absorbs NOx when the inflowing fuel-air ratio is lean and releases the absorbed NOx when the oxygen concentration of the inflowing exhaust gas drops, is installed in the engine exhaust passage. An oxidizing catalyst 16 is installed upstream of the NOx absorber in the exhaust passage. Primary and secondary reducing agent injection nozzles 21, 22 are installed in the exhaust passage upstream of the oxidizing catalyst 16 in order to release and reduce the NOx within the NOx absorber 17. The particle size of the reducing agent injected from the primary reducing agent injection nozzle 21 is larger than that of the reducing agent injected from the secondary reducing agent injection nozzle. When the temperature of the NOx absorber is low, a reducing agent is supplied through the secondary reducing agent injection nozzle 22 only, and when the temperature of the NOx reducing agent is high, a reducing agent is supplied through the primary reducing agent injection nozzle 21 only.

PURPOSE:To obviate the necessity of a subfuel force sending pipe between a plurality of fuel injection valves, suppress the lowering of the pressure of the subfuel in the force sending of the subfuel, and improve responsiveness in the force sending of the subfuel, by charging the subfuel in a double fuel injection valves by the double fuel injection valve itself by utilizing the restoring force in the lowering of a needle after rising, as the pressure sending force of subfuel. CONSTITUTION:When a needle 108 rises, subfuel is introduced into a subfuel chamber 126 which is formed from a piston part 109 and a cylinder 111. Further, when the needle 108 lowers, the piston part 109 presses the subfuel in the subfuel chamber 126, and the subfuel is introduced into the main fuel supply passage 120 on the outer periphery at the top end part of the needle 108 through a subfuel introducing passage 130. Accordingly, the necessity of a subfuel force sending pipe connecting each subfuel injection valve 102 is obviated, and the reduction of the pressure of the subfuel in the force sending of the subfuel reduces in comparison with the case of the existence of the subfuel force sending pipe, and the responsiveness in the force sending of the subfuel is improved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress the deterioration of fuel consumption at sulfur poisoning recovery control in an exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine equipped with a fuel addition valve for adding fuel to an exhaust passage. SOLUTION: Sulfur poisoning recovery control is executed after burning PM deposited in a catalyst by carrying out a PM recovery control as "soot removal" therebefore, wherein a target throttle opening TAsox (a control target value of intake air quantity at deceleration) set at the sulfur poisoning recovery control is taken as a value on a closing side from the target throttle opening TAegron1 at PM recovery control to reduce the intake air quantity at deceleration. Thus, a temperature drop of catalyst bed temperature is suppressed to keep the catalyst bed temperature at a level suitable for sulfur poisoning recovery. Such intake air quantity control at deceleration materializes effective sulfur poisoning recovery. As a result, the deterioration of fuel consumption at the sulfur poisoning recovery control can be suppressed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent blocking-up of a nozzle port of a fuel adding valve, while restraining the deterioration in fuel economy, in an exhaust emission control device having the fuel adding valve for adding fuel to an exhaust passage. SOLUTION: In an environmental change such as an atmospheric pressure change when transferring to highland operation from flatland operation and transfer to transitional operation from steady operation, the final adding interval (a fuel adding quantity per unit time) is set by correcting a reference adding interval (Step ST4 and ST8), by calculating an adding interval correction factor on the basis of a variation in a PM discharge quantity, by taking into consideration a point of increasing the PM discharge quantity more than a flatland steady operation state when the suction air volume of an engine reduces.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To secure a fuel adding quantity required for exhaust emission control action of a catalyst even if back pressure of a nozzle port part of a fuel adding valve increases. SOLUTION: The required fuel adding quantity is secured even if the back pressure of the nozzle port part of the fuel adding valve increases when the pressure of an exhaust passage provided with the fuel adding valve increases by correcting so as to shorten an adding interval of fuel (Step ST1 to ST4) as its back pressure variation becomes large on the basis of a variation in present back pressure to basic back pressure when setting a basic adding interval. Thus, a rise in the catalyst bed temperature required for the exhaust emission control action of the catalyst can be secured. The tip temperature of the fuel adding valve can be kept in a predetermined value (the temperature capable of restraining generation of a deposit) or less, to thereby avoid the problem of blocking up a nozzle port of the fuel adding valve by the deposit.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine providing high NOx conversion performance. SOLUTION: This device is provided with a NOx storage reduction catalyst provided in an exhaust gas passage of the internal combustion engine performing lean combustion and a fuel addition valve provided in an upstream side of the NOx storage reduction catalyst in the exhaust gas passage. The NOx storage reduction catalyst stores NOx in exhaust gas when air fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing into the same is lean and reduces stored NOx by making air fuel ratio of exhaust gas rich. Fuel is added to exhaust gas by fuel injection from the fuel addition valve to make exhaust gas air fuel ratio tentatively rich, and NOx storage capacity of the NOx storage reduction catalyst is recovered. Fuel addition by the fuel addition valve is performed (S106) when an engine operation condition shifts from an operation condition where fuel cut control is performed to an operation condition where the fuel cut operation is stopped (YES in S100).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an excessive temperature raising treatment in consideration of a relation on temperature raising treatment between a particulate matter purification treatment and a sulfuric compound releasing treatment in an exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: When the temperature raising treatment for purifying the deposited amount of PM PMsm is approximately more than a temperature raising treatment capable of simultaneously releasing all deposited amount of sulfate SULFsm ("no" in S108), the temperature raising treatment for purifying the deposited amount of PM PMsm is performed for releasing sulfate to completely purify PM and completely release sulfate. Since a relation on the temperature raising treatment between the regeneration of PM and the release of sulfate is taken into account, the same state of the actual deposited amount of sulfate and the deposited amount of sulfate SULFsm expected for the sulfate release treatment can be maintained. Accordingly, the excessive temperature raising treatment in the sulfate release treatment can be prevented from occurring. Thus, the added fuel amount can be saved and a fuel economy can be improved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide EGR control device for an internal combustion engine capable of suppressing clogging of an EGR passage accompanying the addition of fuel to an exhaust passage. SOLUTION: When an accumulation amount of fuel Ti in the EGR passage 33 becomes a permission value or higher, setting of increase of a target EGR ratio Et is performed so as to become inclination of increase of the target EGR ratio Et than a usual time. By setting of the increase, the target EGR ratio Et is restrictively set to a larger value than the usual time and the EGR ratio of the internal combustion engine 10 is further enhanced than the usual time. As a result, since an amount of EGR gas flowing in the intake passage 12 is made much and evaporation of the fuel accumulated in the EGR passage 33 is promoted, the fuel accumulated in the EGR passage 33 becomes deposit and the same passage 33 can be suppressed from being clogged.
