Abstract
An exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine includes a catalyst arranged in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and able to store oxygen, a storage amount calculating part configured to calculate an oxygen storage amount of the catalyst, a poisoning amount calculating part configured to calculate a poisoning amount of the catalyst, and an oxygen amount control part configured to control an amount of oxygen supplied to the catalyst based on the oxygen storage amount and the poisoning amount.
Claims15
An exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine, the exhaust purification system comprising:
- a catalyst arranged in an exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine and able to store oxygen;
- and
- a processor configured to
- calculate an oxygen storage amount of the catalyst,
- calculate a poisoning amount of the catalyst, and
- control an amount of oxygen supplied to the catalyst based on the oxygen storage amount and the poisoning amount, wherein
- the processor is configured to supply oxygen to the catalyst when startup of the internal combustion engine is requested,
- a vehicle mounting the internal combustion engine comprises the internal combustion engine and a motor as sources of power for driving, and
- the processor is configured to
- control startup and stopping of the internal combustion engine,
- calculate a rich poisoning amount of the catalyst by exhaust gas of an air-fuel ratio richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and
- lengthen a stopped time of the internal combustion engine more when a temperature of the catalyst is equal to or more than a predetermined temperature and the rich poisoning amount is equal to or more than a predetermined value, compared to when the temperature of the catalyst is less than the predetermined temperature or the rich poisoning amount is less than the predetermined value.
