  • EGR gas exhaust gas
  • exhaust gas exhaust gas
  • Patent Literature 1 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-100497
  • the present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstance, and an object thereof is to provide a stop control apparatus for an engine which is capable of reducing a generation amount of NOx while securing ignitability at a restart.
  • the present invention is a stop control apparatus as defined in claim 1.
  • the stop control apparatus is to be applied to an engine which includes a cylinder, an output shaft rotating by receiving energy of combustion in the cylinder, an intake passage through which intake air introduced into the cylinder flows, an exhaust passage through which exhaust gas exhausted from the cylinder flows, and an EGR passage which connects the intake passage and the exhaust passage together.
  • the stop control apparatus includes: an injector which supplies fuel to the cylinder; an EGR valve which is provided to the EGR passage in an openable and closable manner; a throttle valve which is provided in an openable and closable manner to an intake passage on an upstream side of (or upstream of) a connection portion between the EGR passage and the intake passage; a determination unit which determines whether or not an automatic stop condition for automatically stopping the engine is satisfied; and a control unit which controls each of units of the engine, the units including the injector, the throttle valve, and the EGR valve.
  • the control unit may execute fuel cut for stopping supply of fuel by the injector and executes oxygen concentration adjustment control which controls the throttle valve and the EGR valve such that an oxygen concentration in an intake passage on a downstream side of (or downstream of) the connection portion has or becomes a predetermined target value in a period until rotation of the output shaft stops after the fuel cut is executed, and the oxygen concentration adjustment control includes first control which sets the throttle valve to a valve-open state such that the oxygen concentration is elevated and a second control which closes the throttle valve at a time point when the oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value.
  • control unit may stop supply of fuel by the injector, control the throttle valve to be a valve-open state such that an oxygen concentration in an intake passage downstream of the connection portion becomes a predetermined target value in a period until rotation of the output shaft stops after the fuel supply is stopped, and close the throttle valve when the oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value.
  • the throttle valve is set to the valve-open state after the fuel cut (first control), fresh air which abundantly contains oxygen flows into the intake passage on the downstream side of the throttle valve, and the oxygen concentration in the intake passage on the downstream side of the connection portion with the EGR passage (which will hereinafter also be referred to as final intake oxygen concentration) is thereby elevated. Further, because the throttle valve is closed at a time point when the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value (second control), introduction of fresh air through the throttle valve is stopped, and as a result the final intake oxygen concentration can substantially be maintained at the target value. This means that the final intake oxygen concentration at a restart of the engine can be adjusted to a value which is higher than the concentration at time when the automatic stop condition is satisfied and is lower than the oxygen concentration contained in the atmosphere.
  • the first control may be control which sets not only the throttle valve but also the EGR valve to the valve-open state.

  • the intake air pressure can be prevented from becoming an excessive negative pressure between closing of the EGR valve and a complete stop of the engine, and an advantage where a shock which can occur when the engine is completely stopped is lessen and so forth are provided.
  • degree of the opening of the throttle valve and/or the EGR valve as used in the present application may refer to a ratio of the opening cross section of the valve in a specific state with respect to the opening cross section of said valve in a fully open state.

  • the determination unit 101 may be a control module which performs various determinations and computation necessary for executing control by the automatic stop control unit 102 and the restart control unit 103.
  • FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are flowcharts illustrating specific procedures of the automatic stop control.
  • the determination unit 101 of the ECU 100 determines whether or not an automatic stop condition defined in advance is satisfied (step S1).
  • the automatic stop condition is a condition for permitting an automatic stop of the engine, and various conditions can be set in accordance with types or the like of vehicles.
  • the automatic stop condition can be satisfied.
  • the determination unit 101 respectively determines whether or not the vehicle speed is substantially zero, whether or not the accelerator opening is substantially zero, and whether or not a depression operation of the brake pedal is performed based on information input from the vehicle speed sensor SN6, the accelerator sensor SN7, and the brake sensor SN8. Then, in a case where all of those determinations turn out to be YES (in other words, all of the above (i) to (iii) conditions are satisfied), it is determined that the automatic stop condition is satisfied.
  • the determination unit 101 calculates a target torque of drive sources including the engine and the motor from the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor SN6, the accelerator opening detected by the accelerator sensor SN7, and so forth and determines whether or not an engine output is necessary (a positive output torque which contributes to traveling) based on various kinds of conditions including the calculated target torque. Then, in a case where it is determined that the engine output is not necessary, it is determined that the automatic stop condition is satisfied.
  • the engine is driven in a state where at least either one of the first EGR valve 62 and the second EGR valve 72 is open. That is, as the presupposition of satisfaction of the automatic stop condition, the engine is executing EGR for returning exhaust gas from the exhaust passage 40 to the intake passage 30, and further the EGR rate (the ratio of EGR gas contained in intake air) is comparatively high.
  • the oxygen concentration in the intake passage 30 is significantly lowered with respect to the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere in at least the vicinity of the engine body 1 (specifically, a portion on the downstream side of the first EGR exit portion 61b), and its value is lower than a target value Dx of the oxygen concentration which is used in step S9 described later.
  • step S2 the automatic stop control unit 102 of the ECU 100 may close the throttle valve 32 (step S2). That is, the automatic stop control unit 102 drives the throttle valve 32 to close such that the opening of the throttle valve 32 lowers to an almost fully closed (0%) state.
  • the openings of the first EGR valve 62 and the second EGR valve 72 can be different in accordance with a driving condition at time before the automatic stop condition is satisfied; however, it is assumed that at least the first EGR valve 62 is in a valve-open state (states other than a fully closed state) when the automatic stop condition is satisfied and particularly maintains this state in the step S2 also. In other words, in the step S2, while the valve-open state of the first EGR valve 62 is maintained, control for closing the throttle valve 32 may be executed.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 executes fuel cut for stopping fuel injection from the injector 15 of each of the cylinders 2 (step S3). After this fuel cut is executed, combustion is stopped in each of the cylinders 2, and the engine speed thereby gradually lowers.
  • the determination unit 101 may determine whether or not a permission condition for oxygen concentration adjustment control is satisfied (step S4).
  • the oxygen concentration adjustment control particularly denotes control that adjusts the oxygen concentration in the intake air, which is present in the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of (or downstream of) the first EGR exit portion 61b as a connection portion between the first EGR passage 61 and the intake passage 30 (mainly the surge tank 34 and the intake manifold 30a), to a predetermined target value, here, indicates control in steps S5 to S10 described later.
  • the permission condition for the oxygen concentration adjustment control is a condition which influences feasibility of such adjustment of the oxygen concentration to the target value.
  • the oxygen concentration to be adjusted in other words, the oxygen concentration in the intake air which is present in the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of the first EGR exit portion 61b (in other words, the oxygen concentration in the intake air which results from return of EGR gas from the first EGR passage 61) will also be referred to as "final intake oxygen concentration”.
  • step S4 whether or not the permission condition for the oxygen concentration adjustment control is satisfied is determined based on the engine water temperature and the atmospheric pressure.
  • the determination unit 101 may determine that the above permission condition is satisfied in a case where both of a first condition that the engine water temperature detected by the water temperature sensor SN2 is a predetermined threshold value or more and a second condition that the atmospheric pressure estimated from a detected value by the intake air pressure sensor SN4 is a predetermined threshold value or more are satisfied. That is, the determination unit 101 permits execution of the oxygen concentration adjustment control in step S5 and subsequent steps which will be described later.
  • the determination unit 101 may determine that the above permission condition is not satisfied in above step S4 and prohibits the oxygen concentration adjustment control.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 executes control for stopping the engine while largely elevating the oxygen concentration (step S22).
  • control is executed such as increasing the opening of the throttle valve 32 to a comparatively high value at a certain timing after the fuel cut such that the above-described final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to a value at which ignitability is sufficiently secured.
  • step S5 the automatic stop control unit 102 controls the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 such that the openings of the valves 32 and the first EGR valve 62 particularly become respective intermediate openings which are defined in advance (step S5).
  • An intermediate opening denotes an opening which is neither fully closed (0%) nor fully open (100%) and denotes an opening which substantially narrows a channel while permitting the flow of gas.
  • the control in step S5 changes the state of the throttle valve 32 from a fully closed state to the valve-open state. Such opening of the throttle valve 32 causes an effect of elevating the oxygen concentration in intake air.
  • the openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are set to generally the same values.
  • the openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are respectively set to approximately 30%.
  • the opening of the second EGR valve 72 can be set to an appropriate value and can be set to a specific intermediate opening which is defined differently from the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62, for example.
  • the determination unit 101 may determine whether or not the present oxygen concentration condition corresponds to an assumed concentration condition which is in advance defined (step S6). Particularly, the determination unit 101 determines that the oxygen concentration condition corresponds to the assumed concentration condition in a case where both of the following conditions (x) and (y) are satisfied.
  • the estimated value of the final intake oxygen concentration may be an estimated value of the oxygen concentration in the intake air which is present in a specific part (for example, the surge tank 34) in the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of the first EGR exit portion 61b and is estimated by computation from conditions which include the exhaust oxygen concentration detected by the exhaust O 2 sensor SN5 and a driving history of the engine (such as opening data of the first and second EGR valves 62 and 72 in the most recent specific period, for example), for example.
  • the detected value of the exhaust oxygen concentration may be an exhaust oxygen concentration detected by the exhaust O 2 sensor SN5.
  • first threshold value D1 used for the above condition (x) may be set to a smaller value than a target value Dx of the oxygen concentration used in step S9 described later (D1 ⁇ Dx), and the second threshold value D2 used for the above condition (y) may be set to a much smaller value than the above first threshold value D1 (D2 ⁇ D1).
  • step S6 determines whether the present oxygen concentration condition corresponds to the assumed concentration condition, in other words, in a case where it is confirmed that both of the estimated value of the final intake oxygen concentration and the detected value of the exhaust oxygen concentration are the threshold values (D1 and D2) or more.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 control the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 such that the respective openings of the valves 32 and 62 change in response to the engine speed (step S7) .
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 controls the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 such that the respective openings of the valves 32 and 62 gradually decrease in accordance with a gradual decrease in the engine speed after the fuel cut.
  • the opening change rates are in advance defined so as to be appropriate values which do not cause a sudden change in the final intake oxygen concentration and can stabilize the intake air pressure.
  • the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are controlled so as to lower at the same opening change rates. In other words, in the step S7, the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are gradually decreased while being maintained at generally the same values.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 may control the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 such that the opening of the throttle valve 32 becomes larger than the opening of the first EGR valve 62 (step S8) .
  • the opening of the throttle valve 32 is set to a value which is larger than the opening of the throttle valve 32 in a case where the present oxygen concentration condition hypothetically corresponds to the assumed concentration condition (in other words, the opening set in above step S7) and which is larger than the opening of the first EGR valve 62.
  • step S8 it is possible to increase the opening of the throttle valve 32 to approximately 50% and to set the opening of the first EGR valve 62 to 30% or a value slightly below this. That is, in the control in step S8 which is executed under a condition where the oxygen concentration is lower than an assumed concentration, compared to the control in above step S7 which is executed not under such a condition, the opening of the throttle valve 32 is increased. On the other hand, the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is not increased but is maintained at generally the same opening (the same or a slightly lower opening).
  • the determination unit 101 determines whether or not the estimated value of the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx defined in advance or more (step S9).
  • the target value Dx of the final intake oxygen concentration which is used here is set to a value larger than the above-described first threshold value D1 but is set to a value smaller than the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere, in other words, the intake oxygen concentration in a case where the whole intake air is occupied by fresh air.
  • step S10 the automatic stop control unit 102 closes the throttle valve 32 (step S10). That is, the automatic stop control unit 102 drives the throttle valve 32 to close such that the opening of the throttle valve 32 lowers to an almost fully closed state.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 may adjust the opening of the first EGR valve 62 such that the intake air pressure does not fall below a predetermined reference pressure Px (see FIG. 5(d) ) (step S11).
  • the reference pressure Px used here is a reference value of a pressure in the surge tank 34, which is detected by the intake air pressure sensor SN4, in other words, the intake air pressure and is set to a value corresponding to a weak negative pressure which falls slightly below the atmospheric pressure. Because the reference pressure Px is such a value (weak negative pressure), when the step S11 is started, the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is increased compared to the opening at time immediately before the start.
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 drives the first EGR valve 62 in an opening direction and thereby performs adjustment such that the intake air pressure does not fall below the reference pressure Px (is sustained at the weak negative pressure).
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 decides a basic opening of the first EGR valve 62 based on the engine speed while referring to a map or the like, corrects the decided basic opening by using a detected pressure by the intake air pressure sensor SN4, and thereby calculates a target opening of the first EGR valve 62.
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is controlled in accordance with the target opening calculated in such a manner, and adjustment is thereby performed such that the intake air pressure in the surge tank 34 does not fall below the reference pressure Px (is adjusted to the weak negative pressure).
  • the determination unit 101 may determine whether or not the engine speed lowers to less than a reference speed Nx which is in advance defined (step S12).
  • the reference speed Nx is set to a value which is smaller than the engine speed in the fuel cut in above step S3 and at which a future change in the intake air pressure to a negative pressure can be adjusted to a proper level.
  • the reference speed Nx is set to such a value that a minimum value Py (see FIG. 5(d) ) of the intake air pressure which largely changes to a negative pressure after step S13 described later falls within a target range Z which is in advance defined.
  • the target range Z can be set so as to include 50 kPa, for example, and the reference speed Nx can be set to approximately 700 to 800 rpm, for example.
  • step S13 the automatic stop control unit 102 closes the first EGR valve 62 (step S13). That is, the automatic stop control unit 102 drives the first EGR valve 62 to close such that the opening of the first EGR valve 62 lowers to an almost fully closed state.
  • the throttle valve 32 has already been in the fully closed state via the control in above step S10.
  • both of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are set to the fully closed state, and the change in the intake air pressure to a negative pressure thereby progresses.
  • the determination unit 101 may determines whether or not the engine is completely stopped (step S14). That is, the determination unit 101 determines whether or not the engine speed detected by the crank angle sensor SN1 substantially lowers to zero and determines that the engine is completely stopped at a time point when the engine speed substantially lowers to zero (in other words, a time point when rotation of the crankshaft 7 is stopped).
  • step S14 the automatic stop control unit 102 maintains the throttle valve 32 in the fully closed state and opens the first EGR valve 62 to the intermediate opening or an opening close to a fully open state (step S15).
  • This is preparation control to be ready for a restart of the engine and is performed for the purpose such as avoiding an excessively large cranking resistance at a restart of the engine.
  • the determination unit 101 further determines whether or not the engine speed lowers to less than the reference speed Nx (step S17).
  • step S17 In a case where the determination in above step S17 is YES and it is confirmed that the engine speed lowers to less than the reference speed Nx, in other words, in a case where it is confirmed that the peculiar case has occurred where the engine speed lowers to less than the reference speed Nx before the final intake oxygen concentration has the target value Dx or more, the automatic stop control unit 102 closes both of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 (step S18). That is, the automatic stop control unit 102 drives the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 to close such that the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 lower to almost fully closed states.
  • the determination unit 101 may determine whether or not the engine is completely stopped, in other words, whether or not the engine speed substantially lowers to zero (step S19).
  • the automatic stop control unit 102 may open the throttle valve 32 to a predetermined intermediate opening (step S20).
  • This is preparation control to be ready for a restart of the engine and is performed for the purpose such as avoiding insufficient ignitability at a restart of the engine. That is, in the above peculiar case, because the throttle valve 32 is closed before the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx, when the engine is restarted while this state is maintained, the possibility that necessary ignitability is not secured is high. Accordingly, the throttle valve 32 is in advance opened in the step S20, and ignitability at a restart is thereby secured.
  • FIG. 5 is a time chart illustrating one example of a time change of each state quantity in a case where the automatic stop control illustrated in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is executed.
  • a chart (a) illustrates a time change in a flag which indicates whether or not the automatic stop condition is satisfied
  • a chart (b) illustrates a time change in a flag which indicates whether or not fuel injection from the injectors 15 is necessary
  • a chart (c) illustrates a time change in the engine speed
  • a chart (d) illustrates a time change in the intake air pressure in the surge tank 34
  • a chart (e) illustrates time changes in the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62
  • a chart (f) illustrates a time change in the intake oxygen concentration in the surge tank 34 (in other words, the final intake oxygen concentration).
  • step S1 in FIG. 3 the time point when the automatic stop condition (step S1 in FIG. 3 ) is satisfied is set as t0.
  • the opening of the throttle valve 32 is first decreased to 0% (fully closed) (chart (e)). This corresponds to control in step S2 in FIG. 3 .
  • the fuel cut for stopping fuel injection is executed (chart (b)). This corresponds to control in step S3 in FIG. 3 .
  • the opening of the throttle valve 32 is increased from 0% to ⁇ %, and the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is the same set to ⁇ % (chart (e)). This corresponds to the control in step S5 in FIG. 3 .
  • An opening of ⁇ % is set to a predetermined intermediate opening which is neither 0% nor 100% (for example, approximately 30%). In such a manner, the throttle valve 32 is opened to the intermediate opening, the final intake oxygen concentration gradually increases after the time point t1 (chart (f)).
  • the final intake oxygen concentration is not very rapidly elevated but is elevated at a comparatively stable elevation rate.
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is set to a larger value than ⁇ %.
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is decreased from a larger opening than ⁇ % to ⁇ %.
  • the engine speed actually starts lowering (chart (c)).
  • the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 are gradually decreased (chart (e)).
  • the fact that the control in step S7 is executed means that both of the determinations in steps S4 and S6 prior to that are YES.
  • the time chart in FIG. 5 illustrates an action example of a case where the permission condition for the oxygen concentration adjustment control is satisfied and the oxygen concentration condition corresponds to the assumed concentration condition.
  • the final intake oxygen concentration is the threshold value D1 or more, the final intake oxygen concentration does not have to be very rapidly elevated. Accordingly, in FIG. 5 , in order to restrict the elevation rate of the final intake oxygen concentration to a proper elevation rate, after the time point t2, the above control is executed which gradually decreases the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 in response to the engine speed.
  • the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx (chart (f)).
  • the opening of the throttle valve 32 is decreased to 0%, and the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is increased toy ⁇ % (> ⁇ %) (chart (e)).
  • the throttle valve 32 is set to the fully closed state, elevation of the final intake oxygen concentration is thereby substantially stopped, and its value is maintained at the vicinity of the target value Dx (chart (f)).
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is increased, adjustment is thereby performed such that the intake air pressure does not largely lower, and its value is maintained at a value which does not fall below the reference pressure Px (chart (d)).
  • the intake air pressure lowers to the minimum value Py and does not lower any more.
  • the chart (d) illustrates an example where this minimum value Py of the intake air pressure properly falls within the target range Z. This means that closing of the first EGR valve 62 which is triggered by lowering to the reference speed Nx is executed at such a proper timing that the minimum value Py of the intake air pressure falls within the target range Z.
  • an opening of ⁇ % is set to a high opening which is larger than both of the above-described ⁇ % and ⁇ % (for example, an opening close to the fully open state).
  • control which sets both of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 to the valve-open state between the time point t1 to the time point t3 corresponds to "first control” in the present invention.
  • control which closes the throttle valve 32 at the time point t3 corresponds to "second control" in the present invention.
  • step S6 in FIG. 3 is NO
  • the oxygen concentration condition does not correspond to the assumed concentration condition.
  • time points t0 to t6 in a time chart in this FIG. 6 have the same meanings as the time points t0 to t6 in the above-described time chart in FIG. 5 .
  • the final intake oxygen concentration at the time point t1 when the fuel cut is executed is lower than that in FIG. 5 and falls below the first threshold value D1. Accordingly, in the example in FIG.
  • step S6 the determination in above step S6 is NO, and the control in step S8 is executed which comparatively largely opens the throttle valve 32. Because of that, the opening of the throttle valve 32 between the time point t1 and the time point t3 in FIG. 6 is larger than that in FIG. 5 . Specifically, in FIG. 6 , the opening of the throttle valve 32 is increased from 0% to ⁇ 1% after the time point t1, and this increased opening ⁇ 1 is set larger than an opening ⁇ 2% of the first EGR valve 62 which is set immediately after the time point t1.
  • the above-described opening of the throttle valve 32 after the time point t1 elevates the final intake oxygen concentration at a comparatively large elevation rate. Accordingly, at the time point t3 later than the time point t1, the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx, and in response to this, the throttle valve 32 is set to the fully closed state. Meanwhile, the first EGR valve 62 is temporarily driven in the opening direction at the time point t3 and is set to the fully closed state at the subsequent time point t4.
  • the fuel cut (step S3 in FIG. 3 ) for stopping fuel injection from the injectors 15 is executed when the automatic stop condition for the engine is satisfied, and the throttle valve 32 and so forth are controlled such that the final intake oxygen concentration, which is the oxygen concentration in the intake air present in the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of the first EGR exit portion 61b, has the target value Dx between the fuel cut and a complete stop of the engine.
  • control which sets the throttle valve 32 to the valve-open state immediately after the fuel cut (step S4 and so forth in FIG. 3 ) and control which closes the throttle valve 32 at a time point when the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx are executed.
  • Such a configuration provides an advantage where a generation amount of NOx can be reduced while ignitability is secured at a restart when the automatically stopped engine is started.
  • the throttle valve 32 is set to the valve-open state after the fuel cut, fresh air which abundantly contains oxygen flows into the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of the throttle valve 32, and the final intake oxygen concentration is thereby elevated. Further, because the throttle valve 32 is closed (set to the fully closed state) at the time point when the final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx, introduction of fresh air through the throttle valve 32 is stopped, and as a result the final intake oxygen concentration can substantially be maintained at the target value Dx. This means that the final intake oxygen concentration at a restart of the engine can be adjusted to a value which is higher than the concentration at time when the automatic stop condition is satisfied and is lower than the oxygen concentration contained in the atmosphere.
  • the first EGR valve 62 in control which sets the throttle valve 32 to the valve-open state immediately after the fuel cut, is also set to the valve-open state (step S4 in FIG. 3 ).
  • an inflow amount of fresh air can be decreased compared to a case where the first EGR valve 62 is not set to the valve-open state but is closed, and rapid elevation of the final intake oxygen concentration can be avoided.
  • the time point when the final intake oxygen concentration reaches the target value Dx can precisely be specified, and precision of concentration adjustment can be enhanced.
  • the respective openings of the throttle valve 32 and the first EGR valve 62 which are set to the valve-open state after the fuel cut are gradually decreased in response to the engine speed at time after the fuel cut (step S7 in FIG. 3 ), fluctuation in the elevation rate of the final intake oxygen concentration can be inhibited while stability of the intake air pressure is intended. That is, when the engine speed lowers after the fuel cut, a reciprocating speed of the piston 5 lowers, a drawing force in an intake stroke is decreased, and the intake air amount drawn into each of the cylinders 2 is decreased.
  • the opening of the opened throttle valve 32 is hypothetically kept fixed, the possibility becomes high that much fresh air, which is not balanced with the gas amount discharged from each of the cylinders 2, is introduced into each of the cylinders 2, and elevation of the intake air pressure and fluctuation in the elevation rate of the final intake oxygen concentration might be caused.
  • the opening of the throttle valve 32 is gradually decreased such that the gradual decrease conforms with the engine speed lowering after the fuel cut, a proper amount of fresh air, which can be balanced with the gas amount discharged from each of the cylinders 2, can be introduced, and fluctuation in the elevation rate of the final intake oxygen concentration can be inhibited while stability of the intake air pressure is intended.
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is gradually decreased together with the throttle valve 32, fluctuation in the elevation rate of the final intake oxygen concentration can sufficiently be inhibited, and the time point when the final intake oxygen concentration reaches the target value Dx can precisely be specified.
  • the opening of the first EGR valve 62 is controlled in an increasing direction (step S11 in FIG. 4 ). Subsequently, the first EGR valve 62 is maintained in the valve-open state for a certain time and is closed at the time point when the engine speed becomes less than the reference speed Nx (step S13 in FIG. 4 ). As described above, in a case where the first EGR valve 62 is closed later than closing of the throttle valve 32, the intake air pressure can be prevented from becoming an excessive negative pressure between closing of the first EGR valve 62 and a complete stop of the engine.
  • the minimum value Py of the intake air pressure which is indicated in the chart (d) in FIG. 5 can be prevented from becoming excessively small, and a probability can be enhanced that the minimum value Py falls within the target range Z.
  • the minimum value Py of the intake air pressure hypothetically falls below the target range Z, in other words, in a case where the intake air pressure lowers to an excessively strong negative pressure, a lowering speed of the engine speed becomes excessively fast.
  • a shock which occurs when the engine is completely stopped (a shock transmitted to a vehicle body due to reaction of a sudden stop) is likely to increase, and an occupant might feel discomfort.
  • a closing timing of the first EGR valve 62 is set relatively later (later than a closing timing of the throttle valve 32), a lowering amount of the intake air pressure can be caused to fall within a proper range, and a shock in an engine stop can be lessened.
  • stop position control may be performed in which a stop position of the piston 5 of each of the cylinders 2 is adjusted to a convenient position for a restart.
  • the lowering speed of the engine speed can be adjusted to a proper range.
  • the final intake oxygen concentration which is the oxygen concentration in the intake air present in the intake passage 30 on the downstream side of the first EGR exit portion 61b (the oxygen concentration in the intake air to which EGR gas has already be returned from the first EGR passage 61), is estimated by computation, and the throttle valve 32 is closed at the time point when the estimated final intake oxygen concentration is elevated to the target value Dx; however, the final intake oxygen concentration may directly be detected by a sensor.
  • a sensor which is capable of detecting the oxygen concentration may be mounted on the surge tank 34, and the final intake oxygen concentration may be detected by the sensor.
  • the low-pressure EGR apparatus 70 that includes the second EGR passage 71 which connects the exhaust passage 40 on the downstream side of the turbine 52 and the intake passage 30 on the upstream side of the throttle valve 32 with each other is provided to the engine; however, the low-pressure EGR apparatus 70 is not essential and may be omitted.
  • an engine to which the present invention is applicable may be an engine capable of an EGR operation which returns exhaust gas from an exhaust passage to an intake passage, and the present invention may be applied to engines other than diesel engines.
  • an engine to which the present invention may be an engine capable of an EGR operation which returns exhaust gas from an exhaust passage to an intake passage, and the present invention may be applied to engines other than diesel engines.
