Abstract

A torque requesting module generates a first torque request for a spark ignition engine based on driver input. A torque conversion module converts the first torque request into a second torque request. A model predictive control (MPC) module determines a set of target values based on the second torque request, a model of the engine, and a matrix having dimensions of (m+n) by (m+n). n is an integer greater than zero that is equal to a number of lower boundary constraints used in the determination of the set of target values. m is an integer greater than zero that is equal to a number of constraints used in the determination of the set of target values other than the lower boundary constraints. An actuator module controls opening of an engine actuator based on a first one of the target values.

Throttle actuator module 116 can use one or more throttle position sensor (TPS) 190 to monitor the position of throttler valve 112.The environment temperature being drawn into the air in motor 102 can use intake temperature (IAT) sensor 192 to measure.Engine system 100 can also comprise other sensors 193 one or more, such as ambient humidity, light and temperature sensor, one or more detonation sensor, compressor delivery pressure sensor and/or throttle inlet pressure transducer, wastegate position transducer, EGR position transducer and/or one or more sensor that other are applicable to.ECM 114 can use the signal of sensor to make the control decision for engine system 100.
ECM 114 can communicate to coordinate transferring the files in speed changer (not shown) with transmission control module 194.Such as, ECM 114 can reduce Engine torque during gear shift.ECM 114 can communicate with Hybrid mode module 196 operation coordinating motor 102 and motor 198.
Motor 198 also can be used as generator, and can be used for producing electric energy for vehicle electrical systems use and/or for storing in the battery.In each is implemented, the various functions of ECM 114, transmission control module 194 and Hybrid mode module 196 can be integrated in one or more module.
The each system changing engine parameter can be called engine actuators.Such as, the aperture that throttle actuator module 116 can adjust throttler valve 112 opens area with realize target closure.Spark actuator module 126 controls spark plug to realize the target spark timing relative to piston TDC.Fuel-actuated device module 124 controls fuel injector with realize target fueling parameter.Phaser actuator module 158 can control intake cam phase discriminator 148 and exhaust cam phaser 150 respectively with realize target intake cam phase discriminator angle and target exhaust cam phaser angle.EGR actuator module 172 can control EGR valve 170 and open area with realize target EGR.Boosting actuator module 164 controls wastegate 162 and opens area with realize target wastegate.Cylinder actuator module 120 control cylinder deactivation with realize target quantity enable or stop using cylinder.
ECM 114 produces the desired value being used for engine actuators and produces target engine output torque to make motor 102.ECM 114 predictive control that uses a model produces desired value for engine actuators, as following further discussion.
Referring now to Fig. 2, present the functional-block diagram of exemplary engine control system.The exemplary enforcement of ECM 114 comprises driver's torque module 202, axle torque arbitration modules 204 and propulsive torque arbitration modules 206.ECM 114 can comprise hybrid optimization module 208.ECM 114 can also comprise reserve/load module 220, torque request module 224, air control module 228, spark control module 232, cylinder control module 236 and fuel control module 240.
Driver's torque module 202 can input 255 and determine driver's torque request 254 based on the driver from driver's load module 104.Driver inputs 255 can based on the position of the position of such as accelerator pedal and brake petal.Driver inputs 255 can also based on control of cruising, and this cruises and controls can be change car speed to maintain the predetermined adaptive cruise control system with following distance.Driver's torque module 202 can store accelerator pedal position to one or more mapping of target torque and can determine driver's torque request 254 based on a selected mapping.
Axle torque arbitration modules 204 is arbitrated between driver's torque request 254 and other axle torque requests 256.Axle torque (moment of torsion at wheel place) can be produced by each provenance (comprising motor and/or motor).Such as, axle torque request 256 can be included in when positive wheelslip being detected and be reduced by the moment of torsion of pull-in control system request.When axle torque overcomes the friction between wheel and road surface, positive wheelslip occurs, and wheel starts and road surface slippage on the contrary.Axle torque request 256 can also comprise the torque buildup request of offsetting negative wheelslip, wherein because axle torque is bear to make the tire of vehicle relative to road surface along other direction slippage.
Axle torque request 256 can also comprise brake management request and overspeed of vehicle torque request.Brake management request can reduce axle torque to guarantee that axle torque can not exceed the stopping power maintaining vehicle when the vehicle is stopped.Overspeed of vehicle torque request can reduce axle torque and exceed predetermined speed to prevent vehicle.Axle torque request 256 can also be produced by vehicle stability controlled system.
Axle torque arbitration modules 204 is based on the arbitration result prediction of output torque request 257 between the torque request 254 and 256 received and instant torque request 258.As described below, optionally can adjusted by other modules of ECM 114 before controlling engine actuators from the predicted torque request 257 of axle torque arbitration modules 204 and instant torque request 258.
Generally speaking, instant torque request 258 can be the amount of current required axle torque, and predicted torque request 257 can be the amount of the axle torque that suddenly may need.ECM 114 controls engine system 100 to produce the axle torque equaling instant torque request 258.But the various combination of desired value can produce identical axle torque.Therefore, ECM 114 can adjustment aim value to make it possible to fast transition to predicted torque request 257, simultaneously will maintain instant torque request 258 by axle torque.
In each is implemented, predicted torque request 257 can be arranged based on driver's torque request 254.Instant torque request 258 in some cases (such as when driver's torque request 254 makes wheel on ice face during slippage) can be set smaller than predicted torque request 257.In this situation, pull-in control system (not shown) can ask to reduce by instant torque request 258, and the Engine torque that ECM 114 reduces to instant torque request 258 exports.But once wheelslip stops, ECM 114 performs minimizing, therefore engine system 100 can promptly be recovered to produce predicted torque request 257.
Generally speaking, the difference between instant torque request 258 and (usually higher) predicted torque request 257 can be called torque reserve.Torque reserve can represent engine system 100 and can start with the amount (higher than instant torque request 258) of the additional torque of minimum delay generation.Rapid launch machine actuator is used for increasing with the minimum delay or reducing current axle torque.Rapid launch machine actuator and slow speed engines actuator define on the contrary.
Generally speaking, rapid launch machine actuator more promptly can change axle torque than slow speed engines actuator.Actuator can than fast actuating device more slowly in response to the change of its corresponding desired value at a slow speed.Such as, actuator can comprise the mechanical part needing the time to move to another position from a position in response to the change of desired value at a slow speed.The feature of actuator can also be once actuator comes into effect the desired value of change at a slow speed at a slow speed, and it makes axle torque start to change and the amount of time of cost.Usually, this amount of time will be compared to length for fast actuating device for actuator at a slow speed.In addition, even if after starting to change, axle torque may spend the longer time to carry out the change of totally linearization at a slow speed in actuator.
Only for example, spark actuator module 126 can be fast actuating device.Spark ignition engine can carry out combustion fuel by applying spark, and fuel comprises such as gasoline and ethanol.As a comparison, throttle actuator module 116 can be actuator at a slow speed.
Such as, as described above, when spark timing ignition event and when changing between ignition event, spark actuator module 126 can change the spark timing for next ignition event the last time next time.As a comparison, the change of throttle opening takes a long time to affect engine output torque.Throttle actuator module 116 changes throttle opening by the angle of the blade adjusting throttler valve 112.Therefore, when the desired value of the aperture for throttler valve 112 is changed, because throttler valve 112 exists mechanical delay in response to this change moves to reposition from its last position.In addition, the air mass flow change based on throttle opening experiences air transportation lag in intake manifold 110.In addition, the air mass flow increased in intake manifold 110 is until cylinder 118 receives additional air, compression additional air and the stroke that takes fire just is implemented as the increase of engine output torque in next aspirating stroke.
Use these actuators as an example, torque reserve can be produced by the value being set to by throttle opening to allow motor 102 to produce predicted torque request 257.Meanwhile, spark timing can be arranged based on instant torque request 258, and this instant torque request is less than predicted torque request 257.Although throttle opening produces the air mass flow that enough motors 102 produce predicted torque request 257, spark timing is subject to based on instant torque request 258 postponing (this reduces moment of torsion).Therefore, engine output torque will equal instant torque request 258.
When needs additional torque, spark timing can be arranged based on predicted torque request 257 or the moment of torsion between predicted torque request 257 and instant torque request 258.By ignition event subsequently, spark timing can be turned back to the optimum value allowing motor 102 to produce whole engine output torques that the air mass flow by having existed realizes by spark actuator module 126.Therefore, engine output torque can be rapidly populated predicted torque request 257, and can not experience delay owing to changing throttle opening.
Predicted torque request 257 and instant torque request 258 can be outputted to propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 by axle torque arbitration modules 204.In each is implemented, predicted torque request 257 and instant torque request 258 can be outputted to hybrid optimization module 208 by axle torque arbitration modules 204.
Hybrid optimization module 208 can determine that motor 102 should produce how many moments of torsion and motor 198 should produce how many moments of torsion.Amended predicted torque request 259 and amended instant torque request 260 are outputted to propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 by hybrid optimization module 208 subsequently respectively.In each is implemented, hybrid optimization module 208 can be implemented in Hybrid mode module 196.
The predicted torque request that propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 receives and instant torque request are converted to propulsive torque territory (moment of torsion at bent axle place) from axle torque territory (moment of torsion of wheel).This conversion can occur before hybrid optimization module 208, afterwards, as its part or alternative its.
The predicted torque request of propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 after propulsive torque request 290(comprises conversion and instant torque request) between arbitrate.Propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 produces the predicted torque request 261 of arbitration and the instant torque request 262 of arbitration.The torque request 261 and 262 of arbitration can produce by selecting from the torque request received the request of winning.Alternatively or extraly, the torque request of arbitration can by producing based on another in the torque request received or multiple of revising in the request received.
Such as, propulsive torque request 290 moment of torsion that can comprise for racing of the engine protection reduces, the moment of torsion that prevents for stall increases and ask the moment of torsion adapting to gear shift to reduce by transmission control module 194.Propulsive torque request 290 can also be caused by clutch fuel-cut, and clutch fuel-cut steps on clutch pedal in manual transmission vehicles to prevent from reducing engine output torque during the sudden change of engine speed driver.
Propulsive torque request 290 can also be included in the tail-off request that can start when critical failure being detected.Only for example, the detection that critical failure can comprise vehicle theft, blocks starter motor, Electronic Throttle Control problem and unexpected moment of torsion increase.In each is implemented, when there is tail-off request, arbitration selects tail-off request as the request of winning.When there is tail-off request, propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 can export zero as the predicted torque request 261 of arbitration and the instant torque request 262 of arbitration.
In each is implemented, tail-off request can only kill engine 102 dividually with arbitrated procedure.Propulsive torque arbitration modules 206 still can receive tail-off request, makes such as suitable data to be fed back to other torque request persons like this.Such as, every other torque request person can notified they lose arbitration.
Reserve/load module 220 receives the predicted torque request 261 of arbitration and the instant torque request 262 of arbitration.The instant torque request 262 of predicted torque request 261 and arbitration that reserve/load module 220 can adjust arbitration is to create torque reserve and/or to compensate one or more load.Predicted torque request 263 after adjustment and the instant torque request 264 after adjustment are outputted to torque request module 224 by reserve/load module 220 subsequently.
Only for example, catalyzer light-off process or cold start-up reduce discharging the spark timing that process may require to postpone.Therefore, the predicted torque request 263 after adjustment can be increased to the instant torque request 264 after higher than adjustment to create the spark of the delay being used for cold start-up reduction of discharging process by reserve/load module 220.In another example, the air/fuel ratio of motor and/or MAF can directly change, and such as invade equivalence ratio test and/or new engine purification by diagnosis.Before these processes of beginning, torque reserve can be created or increase to make up rapidly the minimizing of the engine output torque caused due to desaturation air/fuel mixture during these processes.
Reserve/load module 220 can also create when expecting future load or increase torque reserve, the joint of pump operated or air conditioning (A/C) compressor clutch of such as servosteering.When driver asks air conditioning first, the deposit of the joint for A/C compressor clutch can be created.Predicted torque request 263 after reserve/load module 220 can increase adjustment makes the instant torque request 264 after adjusting constant to produce torque reserve simultaneously.Subsequently, when A/C compressor clutch engages, reserve/load module 220 can increase the instant torque request 264 after adjustment by the load estimated of A/C compressor clutch.
Torque request module 224 receives the instant torque request 264 after the predicted torque request 263 after adjustment and adjustment.Torque request module 224 determines the instant torque request 264 that will how realize after the predicted torque request 263 after adjusting and adjustment.Torque request module 224 can be that engine model is proprietary.Such as, torque request module 224 differently can be implemented or use different control programs for spark ignition engine relative to compression ignition engine.
In each is implemented, torque request module 224 can define the boundary line between the module that shares across all engine model and the proprietary module of engine model.Such as, engine model can comprise spark ignition and ignition by compression.Module (such as propulsive torque arbitration modules 206) before torque request module 224 can share across engine model, and torque request module 224 and module subsequently can be that engine model is proprietary.
Torque request module 224 determines air torque request 265 based on the predicted torque request 263 after adjustment and the instant torque request 264 after adjustment.Air torque request 265 can be braking torque.Braking torque can refer to the moment of torsion at bent axle place under the present operating conditions.
The desired value of the air stream controlling engine actuators is determined based on air torque request 265.More particularly, based on air torque request 265, air control module 228 determines that Target exhaust door opens area 266, target throttle opens area 267, target EGR opens area 268, target inlet air cam phaser angle 269 and target exhaust cam phaser angle 270.Air control module 228 use a model predictive control to determine that Target exhaust door opens area 266, target throttle opens area 267, target EGR opens area 268, target inlet air cam phaser angle 269 and target exhaust cam phaser angle 270, as following further discussion.

Torque request module 224 can also produce spark torque request 283, cylinder closing torque request 284 and fuel torque request 285 based on predicted torque request 263 and instant torque request 264.Spark control module 232 can be determined to make spark timing from optimum spark timing retard how many (this reduces engine output torque) based on spark torque request 283.Only for example, can reverse torque relation to solve target spark timing 286.For given torque request (T req), can based on following formula determination target spark timing (S t) 286:
(1) ST = f -1(T Req, APC, I, E, AF, OT, #),
Wherein APC is APC, I is intake valve phasing value, and E is exhaust valve phasing value, and AF is air/fuel ratio, and OT is oil temperature, and # is the quantity of the cylinder started.This relation may be embodied as equation and/or look-up table.Air/fuel ratio (AF) can be actual air/fuel ratio, as by fuel control module 240 report.
When spark timing is set to optimum spark timing, the moment of torsion of gained can as far as possible close to the minimum spark for best torque in advance (MBT spark timing).Best torque refers to when use has the fuel of the octane rating larger than predetermined octane rating and uses stoichiometry fueling, due to the maximum engine output torque that spark timing produces for given air mass flow in advance.This best spark timing occurred is called MBT spark timing.Optimum spark timing may due to such as fuel mass (such as when use comparatively low octane fuel time) and environmental factor (such as ambient humidity, light and temperature and temperature) and slightly different with MBT spark timing.Therefore, the engine output torque of optimum spark timing can be less than MBT.Only for example, the table corresponding to the optimum spark timing of different engine operating condition can be determined during the calibration phase of Car design, and determines optimum value based on present engine operational condition from this table.
