Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine and a method of detecting an abnormal condition of the system.
  • the present invention relates to an exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine, provided with a unit for detecting an abnormality in the system and a method of detecting such an abnormality.
  • EGR systems for detecting a fault in an EGR control valve have been proposed.
  • One of them is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-299912.
  • This system employs an EGR control valve whose aperture is controlled in response to a negative pressure, an aperture detector for detecting a real aperture of the EGR control valve, and a negative pressure setter for setting a negative pressure applied to the EGR control valve in a way to achieve a target aperture that is determined according to the operating conditions of an engine.
  • the negative pressure applied to the EGR control valve is changed based on the real aperture thereof detected by the aperture detector, to optimize recirculated exhaust gas. More precisely, the negative pressure setter sets a negative pressure so that the EGR control valve may achieve a target aperture.
  • the real aperture of the EGR control valve is detected by the aperture detector and is compared with the target aperture. If the difference between them is greater than a reference value, it is determined that the EGR control valve is faulty.
  • This disclosure has a problem that the characteristics of the negative pressure setter fluctuate depending on atmospheric temperatures and the aging of parts such as springs thereof. Accordingly, a negative pressure supplied from the negative pressure setter to the EGR control valve may fluctuate around a value that corresponds to a target aperture determined based on the operating conditions of the engine. This results in fluctuating the real aperture of the EGR control valve detected by the aperture detector. Consequently, the real aperture fluctuates around the target aperture, and therefore, it is difficult to correctly determine whether or not the EGR control valve is sound.
  • An object of the present invention is to solve the problem mentioned above and provide an EGR system, for an internal combustion engine, capable of correctly determining whether or not an EGR control valve is sound, irrespective of variations in the characteristics of a unit for setting a negative pressure for the EGR control valve or the aging of the negative pressure setting unit.
  • the present invention provides an EGR system for an internal combustion engine, to diagnose an EGR control valve according to the responsivity of the EGR control valve with respect to target apertures, instead of comparing a real aperture with a specific target aperture.
  • a first aspect of the present invention provides an EGR system for an internal combustion engine, having an EGR control valve, disposed in a recirculation path that connects an exhaust path to an intake path of the engine, for controlling the flow rate of exhaust gas recirculated through the recirculation path, an aperture detector for detecting the real aperture of the EGR control valve at proper intervals, and a driver for driving the EGR control valve in a way to provide a target aperture that is set at proper intervals according to operating conditions of the engine.
  • the system is characterized by a diagnostic unit.
  • the diagnostic unit determines that the EGR system including the EGR control valve is abnormal if a first period t2, which starts at the start of the change of predetermined magnitude in target apertures and ends when a real aperture of the EGR control valve substantially agrees with a corresponding target aperture, is greater than a first reference value t3.
  • the diagnostic unit determines that the EGR system including the EGR control valve is abnormal if a second period t5, which starts at the start of the change of predetermined magnitude in target apertures and ends when a real aperture of the EGR control valve substantially agrees with a second target aperture that is set a given period t4 after the start of the change of predetermined magnitude in target apertures, is greater than a second reference value t6.
  • the diagnostic unit maximizes, if a real aperture of the EGR control valve is smaller than a corresponding target aperture after a period t7 starting from t0 and if the difference between them is greater than a reference difference ⁇ L4, the target aperture of the EGR control valve for a first continuation period "t8 - t7" until the difference between real and target apertures agrees with the reference difference ⁇ L4 at t8 counted from t0, and determines that the EGR system including the EGR control valve is abnormal if the first continuation period "t8 - t7" is greater than a third reference value t9.
  • the diagnostic unit minimizes, if a real aperture of the EGR control valve is greater than a corresponding target aperture after a period t10 starting from t0 and if the difference between them is greater than a reference difference ⁇ L5, the target aperture of the EGR control valve for a second continuation period "t11 - t10" until the difference between real and target apertures agrees with the reference difference ⁇ L5 at t11 counted from t0, and determines that the EGR system including the EGR control valve is abnormal if the second continuation period "t11 - t10" is greater than a fourth reference value t12.

  • a section of the recirculation path 8 between the metering orifice 80 and the valve seat 83 defines a negative pressure chamber 81.
  • a section of the recirculation path 8 between the valve seat 83 and the intake manifold 3 defines a recirculation path 82 on the intake side.
  • the ECU 10 detects a lift of the shaft 33 through the lift sensor 30 and feedback-controls the negative pressure control valve 50 to achieve a target lift that is determined according to the operating conditions of the engine.
  • real and target lifts of the shaft 33 correspond to real and target apertures of the EGR control valve 9.
  • the ON/OFF signal (duty signal) is supplied to the coil 51, and the controlled negative pressure is supplied to the EGR control valve 9 through the branch P2.
