[0028] Figures 1 to 6 This diagram illustrates an engine and a method for diagnosing an engine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a vertical inline multi-cylinder diesel engine and a method for diagnosing the engine are described.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the engine (1) has an electronic control device (8), an intake device (10), a fuel supply device (11), and an exhaust device (12). An engine cooling fan (1c) is arranged on the front side of the engine (1), and a flywheel (1d) is arranged on the rear side of the engine (1).

[0030] The electronic control unit (8) is the engine ECU. ECU is short for Electronic Control Unit.

[0031] The intake device (10) includes, in sequence from the upstream side of the intake path, an air filter (10a), an intake throttle valve (10b), an intake sensor (10c), and an intake manifold (10d). The opening and closing timing and opening degree of the intake throttle valve (10b) are controlled by an electronic control unit (8). The intake flow rate and intake temperature are detected by the intake sensor (10c). In addition, EGR is performed from the exhaust device (12) to the intake device (10) via the EGR device (5). EGR is short for exhaust gas recirculation. The EGR device (5) includes, in sequence from the upstream side of the EGR, an EGR cooler (5a) and an EGR valve (5b), the opening and closing of which is controlled by the electronic control unit (8).

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuel supply device (11) is common rail type, having a common rail (11a) and fuel injectors (11b) that inject fuel into each cylinder (1a).

[0033] The fuel injector (11b) is controlled by the electronic control unit (8) to open the valve at a specified time and inject a specified amount of fuel. The amount of fuel injected is adjusted based on the accelerator position detected by the accelerator sensor (13) and the actual engine speed detected by the engine speed sensor (14) and through the governor function of the electronic control unit (8).

[0034] In addition, under the control of the electronic control device (8), the fuel injector (11b) performs re-injection in addition to main injection during DPF regeneration. Furthermore, after-injection can also be performed between main injection and re-injection.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust device (12) has an exhaust manifold (12a), DOC (6a), DPF (6), urea water injector (9), SCR (7) and ASC (7a) in sequence from the upstream side of the exhaust. DOC (6a) and DPF (6) are housed in the DPF housing (6b), and SCR (7) and ASC (7a) are housed in the SCR housing (7b). A mixing passage (12b) is provided between the DPF housing (6b) and the SCR housing (7b). A urea water injector (9) is arranged on the upstream side of the mixing passage (12b). Urea water (9a) injected from the urea water injector (9) into the mixing passage (12b) mixes with the exhaust (15) and is supplied to the SCR (7).

[0036] DOC is short for diesel oxidation catalyst, which oxidizes CO (carbon monoxide) and NO (nitric oxide) in exhaust gas (15). During DPF regeneration, the post-injection fuel or re-injection fuel injected from the fuel injector (11b) is catalytically combusted, which raises the temperature of exhaust gas (15) and burns away PM accumulated in DPF (6). PM is short for particulate matter.

[0037] DPF is short for Diesel Particulate Filter, used to capture particulate matter (PM) in exhaust gases.

[0038] SCR is short for Selective Catalytic Reduction catalyst. It utilizes urea water (9a) injected from the urea water injector (9) into the exhaust gas (15) to cause the SCR (7) to adsorb ammonia, which is then used as a reducing agent to reduce NO in the exhaust gas. x (Nitrogen oxides) produce N2 (nitrogen gas) and H2O (water vapor).

[0039] ASC is short for ammonia purification oxidation catalyst, used to prevent the leakage of NH3 (ammonia).

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the exhaust device (12) has, in sequence from the upstream side of the exhaust, a DOC inlet-side exhaust temperature sensor (6c), a DPF inlet-side exhaust temperature sensor (6d), an exhaust differential pressure sensor (6e), a DPF outlet-side exhaust temperature sensor (6f), and an SCR (7) for the NO on the upstream side of the exhaust. xSensor (3), SCR inlet side exhaust temperature sensor (7c), NO on the downstream side of SCR (7) exhaust x Sensor (4), during normal engine operation, performs SCR (7)-based NO measurement in conjunction with EGR and urea water injection. x Reduce operation, and when the PM accumulation reaches the amount necessary to start regeneration by detecting the differential pressure between the inlet and outlet of DPF (6) based on the exhaust differential pressure sensor (6e), and when the DOC (6) reaches its activation temperature based on the heating of exhaust (15), DPF regeneration process is started.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, urea water (9a) in urea water tank (9b) is pumped by urea water pump (9c) to urea water injector (9). Urea water injector (9) is controlled by electronic control device (8), which opens the valve at a specified time and injects a specified amount of urea water (9a) into mixing passage (12b). The injection volume of urea water (9a) is based on a pair of NO... x The pair of NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The concentration (J) (K) or the intake flow rate detected by the intake sensor (10c) is calculated by the arithmetic unit of the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1). A urea water level sensor (9d) and a urea water temperature sensor (9e) are installed in the urea water tank (9b). The electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1) causes the display device (1b) of the engine (1) to display the replenishment of urea water (9a) and suggestions for preventing the freezing of urea water (9a).

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1) is connected to the display unit (1b) of the engine (1). The display unit (1b) of the engine (1) is located on the control panel such as the instrument panel of the engine-mounted machinery, and displays the information described later. Figure 3 Engine fault diagnosis (S6), etc.

[0043] Engine-mounted machinery refers to agricultural or construction machinery that is mounted on an engine (1). The type of machinery includes tractors and excavators, while the type of machinery includes engine generators.

[0044] The display device (1b) of the engine (1) can use a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, etc. EL is short for electroluminescent.

[0045] The following is a summary of the diagnostic sequence of the engine (1) performed by the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1).

[0046] like Figure 3As shown, the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1) performs fault diagnosis (S4) of the engine (1) during normal engine operation. When performing fault determination (S5) of the engine (1), the display device (1b) of the engine (1) displays the engine fault display (S6) and simultaneously displays NO. x Recommendations for sensor fault diagnosis.

[0047] The user-appointed maintenance personnel confirmed that the engine-mounted machinery displayed (S6) was undergoing a NO inspection. x For sensor fault diagnosis, maintenance personnel use engine diagnostic tools (2) to check the NO signal via the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1). x Sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203), and based on NO x The NO obtained from sensor fault diagnosis (S108) (S208) x The sensor fault determination display (S110) (S210) confirmation is used to replace NO. x Sensor, then, Figure 6 (A) NO x Sensor replacement for NO x Functional recovery confirmation diagnosis of the engine with purification function (S309).

[0048] Furthermore, after determining the fault of the engine (1) (S5), the output of the engine (1) is limited by the electronic control device (8) of the engine (1), so that the engine-mounted machinery cannot operate, thereby guiding the user to entrust maintenance personnel to perform NO. x Sensor fault diagnosis.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the engine (1) has: a pair of NO on the upstream side and the downstream side of the exhaust of the DPF (6), SCR (7), and SCR (7). x Sensors (3) and (4), electronic control device (8), EGR device (5) and urea water injector (9).

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this engine (1), the fault diagnosis (S4) of the normally operating engine (1) is performed by the electronic control unit (8) of the engine (1) based on the NO of the SCR (7) during engine operation. x The purification rate is used to determine the fault of the engine (1) (S5), and the determination result is displayed on the display device (1b) of the engine (1) (S6).

[0051] Normal operation means, except for Figure 4 (B) Figure 5(B) NO x Sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203) and Figure 6 (B) NO x The engine's function recovery confirmation operation after sensor replacement (S303) is performed in operation other than normal operation, including NO based on EGR and urea water injection. x Reduce processing speed.

[0052] like Figure 4 (B) Figure 5 As shown in (B), the engine (1) is configured such that, under the control of the electronic control device (8), NO is generated by DPF regeneration treatment, EGR shutdown, and urea water injection shutdown. x Sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203), in this NO x During the sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203), the above-mentioned pair of NO... x The pair of NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The detection data of NO concentration (J) (K) is sent to the engine diagnostic tool (2) (S105) (S205) outside the engine (1), and the engine diagnostic tool (2) performs the above-mentioned pair of NO based on the detection data. x Fault diagnosis of sensors (3) and (4) (S108) (S208).

[0053] The following effects can be achieved in this engine.

[0054] That is, in Figure 4 (B) Figure 5 (B) NO x In the sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203), the exhaust gas temperature is increased through DPF regeneration treatment to stabilize the exhaust flow and burn off the urea crystals adhering in the exhaust passage (12c), thereby stopping the NO through EGR. x The concentration increases, therefore, due to a pair of NO x NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The accuracy of the concentration (J) (K) detection data is improved. Furthermore, since the urea water injection stops, this detection data is unaffected by the NO concentration of SCR (7). x The effect of purification function is not easily changed. Thus, by using a pair of highly precise and unchanging NO... x The detection data of concentration (J) (K) is sent to the engine diagnostic tool (2) (S105) (S205), such as Figure 4 (A) Figure 5 As shown in (A), in the engine diagnostic tool (2), it is possible to determine the relationship between a pair of NOs. xThe detection data of NO concentration (J) (K) were used to perform the above pair of NO... x Fault diagnosis of sensors (3) and (4) (S108) (S208) can improve the efficiency of a pair of NO sensors. x Accuracy of fault diagnosis (S108) (S208) of sensors (3) and (4).

[0055] In addition, the following effects can also be achieved in this engine.

[0056] like Figure 4 (A) Figure 5 As shown in (A), in NO x During the sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203), the above-mentioned pair of NO... x The pair of NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The detection data of NO concentration (J) (K) is sent to the engine diagnostic tool (2) (S105) (S205) outside the engine (1), and the engine diagnostic tool (2) performs the above-mentioned pair of NO based on the detection data. x Fault diagnosis of sensors (3) and (4) (S108) (S208), therefore, is able to Figure 1 The illustrated exhaust device (12) performs NO emission when mounted on the engine (1). x Fault diagnosis of sensors (3) and (4).

[0057] Figure 4 (A) Figure 5 (A) shows the accompanying NO x The DPF regeneration process in sensor fault diagnosis operation (S103) (S203) differs from the DPF regeneration process during normal operation, and is performed even when the PM buildup has not reached the amount necessary to initiate regeneration. This DPF regeneration process is the same as during normal operation, in... Figure 1 After the exhaust temperature on the inlet side of the DOC (6a) reaches the activation temperature of the DOC (6a), it is re-injected by the fuel injector (11b). When the exhaust temperature on the inlet side of the DOC (6a) is low, the exhaust temperature on the inlet side of the DOC (6a) is raised to the activation temperature of the DOC (6a) by reducing the opening of the intake throttle valve (10b), increasing the main injection fuel, and performing post-injection.

[0058] Furthermore, in the case of an exhaust pipe fuel injection valve, DPF regeneration can also be performed by exhaust pipe injection through the exhaust pipe of the exhaust pipe fuel injection valve, instead of re-injection by the fuel injector (11b).

[0059] like Figure 6As shown in (B), the engine is configured to perform NO treatment accompanied by DPF regeneration, EGR shutdown, and urea water injection under the control of an electronic control unit (8). x Sensor replacement for NO x The purification function engine's function recovery confirmation operation (S303) will be performed in this operation, during which the pair of NO... x The pair of NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The detection data of NO concentration (J) (K) is sent (S305) to the engine diagnostic tool (2), and the engine diagnostic tool (2) performs NO testing based on the detection data. x Sensor replacement for NO x Functional recovery confirmation diagnosis of the engine with purification function (S309).

[0060] The following effects can be achieved in this engine.

[0061] That is, in Figure 6 (B) NO x Sensor replacement for NO x During the engine's function recovery confirmation operation (S303) with purification function, the exhaust gas is heated through DPF regeneration treatment, the exhaust flow is stabilized, and the exhaust gas is burned off. Figure 1 The urea crystals adhering in the exhaust passage (12c) shown are stopped by the EGR to prevent NO from escaping. x The concentration increases, therefore, by Figure 6 (B) shows a pair of NO x NO detected by sensors (3) and (4) x The accuracy of the concentration (J) (K) detection data is improved. This is achieved by using a pair of high-precision NO... x The concentration (J) (K) is sent as detection data (S305) to the engine diagnostic tool (2), such as Figure 6 As shown in (A), in the engine diagnostic tool (2), it is possible to determine the relationship between a pair of NOs. x The detection data of NO concentration (J) (K) were used for NO x The engine function recovery confirmation diagnostic after sensor replacement (S309) thus confirms the NO in the engine diagnostic tool (2). x Sensor replacement for NO x The accuracy of the engine function recovery confirmation diagnosis (S309) with purification function has been improved.

[0062] Next, the diagnostic method for the engine (1) will be explained.

[0063] The diagnosis of the engine (1) is performed in the following order: Figure 3Fault diagnosis (S4) of the normally operating engine (1); NO x Sensor fault diagnosis (S108) (S208); based on Figure 4 (A) Figure 5 (A) NO x The sensor fault determination display (S110) (S210) confirms the NO process. x Sensor replacement; and Figure 6 (A) NO x Sensor replacement for NO x Functional recovery confirmation diagnosis of the engine with purification function (S309).
