Abstract
A filter regeneration control device for a vehicle is configured to restore a collecting capability of a filter that collects particulate matter contained in an exhaust gas of an engine. The filter regeneration control device is configured to execute filter regeneration control including a warm-up operation of increasing an exhaust gas temperature of the engine to increase a temperature of the filter and a regeneration operation of supplying the filter with oxygen through the engine in a case where an amount of the particulate matter deposited in the filter is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount and a sound pressure level in a vehicle cabin is equal to or higher than a predetermined level.
Claims6
A filter regeneration control device for a vehicle that is configured to restore a collecting capability of a filter that collects particulate matter contained in an exhaust gas of an engine, the filter regeneration control device comprising a controller that controls the engine, wherein the controller includes
- a deposition amount determination unit configured to determine whether a deposition amount of the particulate matter in the filter is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount,
- a traveling condition determination unit configured to determine, in a case where the deposition amount determination unit determines that the deposition amount of the particulate matter is equal to or greater than the predetermined amount, that a traveling condition exists in which a sound pressure level in a vehicle cabin is equal to or higher than a predetermined level and
- a regeneration control execution unit configured to execute, in a case where the traveling condition exists in which the sound pressure level is equal to or higher than the predetermined level, filter regeneration control including a warm-up operation of increasing an exhaust temperature of the engine to increase a temperature of the filter and a regeneration operation of supplying oxygen to the filter through the engine.
