Abstract

A work vehicle including a DPF system configured to collect particulate matter contained in exhaust gas from an engine; an SCR system configured to add, to the exhaust gas from the engine a reductant stored in a reductant storage tank to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gas; and a control unit capable of executing a DPF renewal control whereby particulate matter collected and deposited in the DPF system is burned and removed by using the exhaust gas from the engine and an SCR reference operation restricting control to restrict an operating condition of the engine. The SCR reference operation restricting control is executed when an amount of the reductant stored in the reductant storage tank is a preset amount or less, or when an abnormality occurs in the SCR system. The control unit preferentially executes the DPF renewal control over the SCR reference operation restricting control.

Claims (12)

1. A work vehicle, comprising:

a diesel particulate filter (DPF) system configured to collect particulate matter contained in exhaust gas from an engine;

a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system including a reductant stored in a reductant storage tank, the SCR system configured to add the reductant to the exhaust gas so as to reduce nitrogen oxide contained in the exhaust gas; and

a control unit configured to:

execute a DPF renewal control whereby particulate matter collected and deposited in the DPF system is burned and removed using heat from the exhaust gas, and

execute an SCR reference operation restricting control configured to restrict a fuel injection amount of an injector, restrict a rotational speed of the engine, restrict a maximum torque rotational speed of the engine, or reduce an output of the engine when an amount of the reductant stored in the reductant storage tank is a preset amount or less or when an abnormality occurs in the SCR system,

wherein the control unit is further configured to prioritize the DPF renewal control over the SCR reference operation restricting control.

2. The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit is further configured to inhibit the SCR reference operation restricting control while the DPF renewal control is being executed.

3. The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein, when an execution condition of the DPF renewal control is established during the execution of the SCR reference operation restricting control, the control unit is further configured to suspend the SCR reference operation restricting control and execute the DPF renewal control.

4. The work vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein, when the DPF renewal control is completed during the suspension of the SCR reference operation restricting control, the control unit is further configured to resume the SCR reference operation restricting control.

5. The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:

the DPF renewal control is an active DPF renewal control configured to perform post-injection of fuel into the engine.
