- the routine shown in FIG. 2 starts with the start of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the internal combustion engine 1 is started when a power generation request is generated after the vehicle starts.
- step 1 it is determined whether or not the upstream catalytic converter 8 is above the catalytically active temperature when the internal combustion engine 1 is started. This is based on the catalyst temperature information at the end of the previous trip (that is, at the key-off) (which is obtained from the temperature detected by the exhaust temperature sensor 33) and the elapsed time from the end of this previous trip. Is estimated, and this is determined by comparing it with a predetermined threshold value (corresponding to the catalytic activity temperature). If the upstream catalytic converter 8 has reached the active temperature, the process immediately proceeds to the process of step 4 and subsequent steps described later.
- step 1 If the temperature is below the active temperature, that is, if the upstream catalytic converter 8 is in an unwarmed state, the process proceeds from step 1 to step 2, and the engine has a relatively low load and a low engine while performing a large ignition timing retard for catalytic warming.
- the internal combustion engine 1 is operated at the rotational speed. The exhaust temperature rises due to the ignition timing retard, and the center of gravity of combustion is on the delayed side, so that warming up of the catalyst, particularly the upstream catalytic converter 8, is promoted.

- the cycle is based on parameters such as the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine 1, the load, the ignition timing (retard amount), the valve timing of the intake valve 41 and the exhaust valve 42, the exhaust recirculation rate, the fuel injection timing, and the fuel pressure.
- the amount of heat input to the upstream catalytic converter 8 (in other words, the amount of heat that exits the exhaust port and moves to the upstream catalytic converter 8) is obtained for each time, and this is sequentially integrated.
- the amount of heat input to the upstream catalytic converter 8 is compared with a predetermined threshold value (Q1), and when the threshold value (Q1) or more is reached, it is determined that the warm-up of the upstream catalytic converter 8 is completed.
- the process returns from step 3 to step 2 and continues the relatively low-speed, low-load operation with a large ignition timing retard. Then, the determination of the completion of warm-up in step 3 is repeated. During this period, even if the power generation request commanded to the internal combustion engine 1 disappears, the internal combustion engine 1 does not stop and the operation is continued.
- the threshold value (Q1) of the input heat amount in the determination in step 3 may be variably set according to the temperature of the upstream catalytic converter 8 at the time of starting obtained in step 1, and may be set variably according to the temperature of the upstream catalytic converter 8 at the time of starting. It may be constant regardless of the temperature of the side catalyst converter 8.

That is, the operation of the internal combustion engine 1 is continued to warm up the catalyst of the downstream catalytic converter 9 while avoiding excessive deterioration of fuel efficiency. If the estimated temperature of the upstream catalytic converter 8 is equal to or higher than the threshold value when the internal combustion engine 1 is started, the operation near the best fuel consumption point where the ignition timing in step 4 is set to the vicinity of the MBT point is immediately started.
- step 5 the warm-up state of the downstream catalytic converter 9 is estimated. Specifically, as in step 3, based on parameters such as the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine 1, load, ignition timing, valve timing of the intake valve 41 and the exhaust valve 42, exhaust recirculation rate, fuel injection timing, fuel pressure, and the like. , The amount of heat input to the downstream catalytic converter 9 (in other words, the amount of heat that exits the exhaust port and moves to the downstream catalytic converter 9 via the upstream catalytic converter 8) is obtained for each cycle, and this is sequentially integrated. ..
- the amount of heat input to the downstream catalytic converter 9 is compared with a predetermined threshold value (Q2), and when it becomes equal to or greater than the threshold value (Q2), it is determined that the warm-up of the downstream catalytic converter 9 is completed.
- a predetermined threshold value Q2
- the process returns from step 5 to step 4 and continues operation near the best fuel consumption point without ignition timing retard.
- the determination of the completion of warm-up in step 5 is repeated. During this period, even if the power generation request commanded to the internal combustion engine 1 disappears, the internal combustion engine 1 does not stop and the operation is continued.
- the temperature of the downstream catalytic converter 9 at the time of starting may be estimated separately from the upstream catalytic converter 8 or may be estimated separately from the upstream catalytic converter 8 or the upstream catalytic converter 8 It may be set variably according to (may be obtained from the estimated temperature of), or may be constant regardless of the temperature of the downstream catalytic converter 9 at the time of starting.
- step 5 the process proceeds from step 5 to step 6 to allow the internal combustion engine 1 to be stopped in response to the power generation request. As a result, the internal combustion engine 1 is stopped when the power generation request is eliminated.
- the operation of the internal combustion engine 1 is appropriately controlled so that the catalyst temperature does not fall below the active temperature.
- the operation of the internal combustion engine 1 continues regardless of the power generation request until the warm-up of both the upstream catalytic converter 8 and the downstream catalytic converter 9 is completed. Will be done. Therefore, the exhaust gas purification performance of the upstream catalytic converter 8 and the downstream catalytic converter 9 can be reliably obtained.
- the upstream catalytic converter 8 is operated at a relatively low speed and a low load with a large ignition timing retard until the warm-up is completed, the upstream catalytic converter 8 is activated at an early stage and the upstream catalyst is activated. Deterioration of exhaust performance until the converter 8 is activated is minimized. Further, after the upstream catalytic converter 8 is warmed up, the operation is performed near the best fuel efficiency point due to the normal ignition timing near the MBT point, so that the downstream catalytic converter 9 is activated while suppressing the deterioration of fuel efficiency. be able to.

これら2つの触媒の暖機が完了したと判定するまで、上記発電要求によらずに内燃機関の運転を継続する、内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。 - 内燃機関の始動から第1の触媒の暖機が完了するまでの第1の区間では、触媒暖機のための点火時期リタードを行い、第1の触媒の暖機完了から第2の触媒が完了するまでの第2の区間では、点火時期リタードを伴わない運転を行う、請求項1に記載の内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。
- 上記第2の区間では、最良燃費点付近の負荷および機関回転速度で内燃機関を運転し、上記第1の区間では、上記第2の区間よりもそれぞれ相対的に低い負荷および機関回転速度で内燃機関を運転する、請求項2に記載の内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。
- 第1の触媒の触媒暖機状態の推定として、内燃機関が始動してから第1の触媒に投入された熱量を演算し、この投入熱量が所定のクライテリアに達したときに、第1の触媒の暖機が完了したと判定する、請求項1~3のいずれかに記載の内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。
- 内燃機関の始動時における第1の触媒の初期温度を検知ないし推定し、この初期温度に応じて上記クライテリアを設定する、請求項4に記載の内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。
- 第2の触媒の触媒暖機状態の推定として、第1の触媒の暖機が完了したと判定してから第2の触媒に投入された熱量を演算し、この投入熱量が所定の第2のクライテリアに達したときに、第2の触媒の暖機が完了したと判定する、請求項1~5のいずれかに記載の内燃機関の触媒暖機制御方法。
- 排気系の相対的に上流側に位置する第1の触媒および下流側に位置する第2の触媒を有し、発電用としてシリーズハイブリッド車に搭載された内燃機関の触媒暖機制御装置であって、
車両側からの発電要求に応じて上記内燃機関の始動・停止を指令するとともに、上記第1の触媒および上記第2の触媒の触媒暖機状態をそれぞれ検知ないし推定し、これら2つの触媒の暖機が完了したと判定するまで、上記発電要求によらずに内燃機関の運転を継続する、内燃機関の触媒暖機制御装置。
