Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control apparatus and method for an internal combustion engine for outputting power by fuel combustion such as gasoline engine and, especially, it relates to a control apparatus and method for executing the fuel cut control for stopping fuel supply during the operation in order to improve the fuel efficiency.
  • the fuel cut control is performed within the revolution range when the engine can maintain its autonomic rotation, by resuming the fuel supply. In other words, the fuel supply is cut until the engine revolution reduces to the return revolution during the deceleration.
  • the fuel supply suspension time period will be prolonged, and the fuel efficiency improvement effect will be enhanced. Therefore, conventionally, the engine revolution is prevented from lowering due to so-called sliding in the power transmission system, by setting the power transmission system from engine to driving wheels near a so-called mechanical direct coupling state.
  • An embodiment thereof is a control for relatively increasing the engine revolution during the deceleration, by engaging a lockup clutch (direct coupling clutch) in a fluid torque transfer such as torque converter.
  • the lockup clutch is an apparatus for mechanically connecting an input side member and an output side member in place of a fluid, the torque variation is transmitted as it is. Therefore, for example, when the engine revolution lowers to the so-called return revolution to resume the fuel supply, the engine forced to rotate by external force starts autonomic rotation by fuel combustion, in short, it starts outputting torque, thereby changing suddenly the torque effect state to the power transmission system from engine to driving wheels from so-called negative torque applied state to the positive torque application state. When such a sudden torque variation occurs with the lockup clutch completely engaged, this torque variation is transmitted to the vehicle as it is and may be felt sometimes as a shock.
  • the invention described in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. 5-27249 is devised to control the lockup clutch to the half-clutch state immediately before the engine revolution lowers to the return revolution, and to absorb torque variation by sliding in the lockup clutch.
  • the fuel cut control mentioned above is performed when the throttle valve is closed in the normal driving state upon completion of engine idling or the like, and the engine revolution is equal or superior to the predetermined revolution.
  • the fuel supply is suspended based on the fact that the throttle opening is closed to about the idle opening or so, or the accelerator pedal is released. Therefore, the engine operation state changes from the driving state that was outputting power to the driven state where the engine is forced to rotate by external force. Therefore, the torque action state changes in the power transmission system by performing the fuel cut control, and this may cause a shock or vibration.
  • the lockup clutch is controlled to the half-clutch state during the return from the fuel cut control; here, if the lockup clutch transmission torque capacity is lowered, the power forcing the engine to rotate lowers, the engine revolution drops and, therefore, the return from fuel cut control becomes earlier, reducing the fuel cut period. Further, if such lockup clutch release direction control is performed when the fuel cut control starts, the engine revolution lowers making sometimes impossible to perform the fuel cut control that ought to be performed.
  • the invention described in the aforementioned publication concerns the control during the return from the fuel cut control, and problems occur in the practice, if it is used when the fuel cut control starts.
  • a control apparatus of an internal combustion engine for performing fuel cut control for suspending fuel supply to the internal combustion engine during the operation is characterized by comprising at least any one of means for controlling immediately before the fuel cut control to control the torque from the internal combustion engine to driving wheels in a power transmission system from the internal combustion engine to the driving wheels in the decrease direction, immediately before performing the fuel cut control, in case when the fuel cut control execution is determined, and means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control to control the torque from the internal combustion engine to the driving wheels in the power transmission system from the internal combustion engine to the driving wheels in the increase direction, immediately after performing the fuel cut control, in case when the fuel cut control is executed.
  • the torque from the internal combustion engine to the driving wheels is decreased immediately before performing that fuel cut control.
  • the torque directed to the driving wheel has been already decreased somehow, at the moment when the output torque of the internal combustion engine decreases according to the fuel cut control execution, reducing a variation range of driving wheel torque in case when the torque decreases according to the fuel cut control execution.
  • the means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control since control to increase the torque directed to the driving wheels in the power transmission system immediately after performing the fuel cut control is executed, the output torque of the internal combustion engine and the torque increase due to the means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control cancel the torque variation amount, and as the result, reduce a variation range of the torque in the driving wheel or power transmission system torque even when the output torque of the internal combustion engine decreases according to the fuel cut control execution.
  • the means for controlling immediately before the fuel cut generating such effects can be means for reducing air intake amount to the internal combustion engine, while the means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control can be means for increasing air intake amount to the internal combustion engine.
  • a throttle valve can be adopted as the means for reducing or increasing air intake amount.
  • means for reducing an opening of another valve for controlling the amount of the air inhaled bypassing the throttle valve can be adopted as the means for reducing or increasing air intake amount.
  • An example of this another valve is an idle speed control valve.
  • the output torque of the internal combustion engine decreases.
  • the torque variation range reduces even when the torque directed to the driving wheel decreases according to the fuel cut control, by performing the fuel cut control in this state.
  • the intake air amount is controlled immediately after performing the fuel cut
  • the negative work amount by the internal combustion engine or pumping loss decreases and, as the result, the reduction of the output torque of the internal combustion engine is controlled, and the output torque increased relatively.
  • the internal combustion engine may be a reciprocating type internal combustion engine having a piston reciprocating in the cylinder and comprises an intake valve for opening/closing an intake port of the cylinder according to the piston motion
  • the means for controlling immediately before the fuel cut control and means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control may be means for changing the intake valve closing timing in a direction decreasing the air intake amount in the cylinder.
  • means for changing in a direction decreasing the air intake amount in the cylinder is means for delaying the valve closing timing in case when for example the intake valve closes after an intake bottom dead center and, on the contrary, it is means for advancing the valve closing timing in case when the intake valve closes before the intake bottom dead center.
  • an operation member for receiving torque from the power transmission system is further provided, and the means for controlling immediately before the fuel cut control may be means for reducing the torque of the power transmission system by increasing the torque to be input into the operation member, and moreover, the means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control may be means for relatively increasing the torque of the power transmission system by decreasing the torque to be input into the operation member.
  • auxiliary equipment coupled to the internal combustion engine may be adopted, and the means for controlling immediately before the fuel cut control may be means for increasing the driving torque of the auxiliary equipment, while the means for controlling immediately after the fuel cut control may be means for decreasing the driving torque of the auxiliary equipment.
  • the torque directed to the driving wheel from the internal combustion engine is reduced by increasing the torque to be input into the operation member such as auxiliary equipment, immediately before the fuel cut control and, as the result, the variation range of the torque in the driving wheel or power transmission system is reduced, even when the output torque of the internal combustion engine lowers according to the execution of fuel cut control.
