Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known an electromagnetic valve in which an intake valve or an exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine is opened and closed by electromagnetic force so that a valve opening period and a valve opening / closing timing can be arbitrarily set according to an operation state. Have been. For example, a movable element that moves integrally with the valve body is held at an intermediate position by a pair of springs, and an electromagnetic force is applied to the movable element by flowing a current through electromagnets arranged on both sides in the sliding direction. An electromagnetic valve having a structure in which a mover and a valve element are moved from a neutral position to a fully open direction or a fully closed direction is exemplified. According to the aforementioned electromagnetic valve, for example, when moving the valve body from the fully closed state to the fully open state, the fully closed side holding the fully closed state against the urging force of the spring described above. When the supply of the exciting current to the electromagnet is stopped, the mover and the valve element start moving in the fully open direction by the spring force, and move by the simple vibration of the spring-mass system. Therefore, the valve element can be moved to the fully open position only by supplying the kinetic energy lost due to friction or external force during the movement of the valve element by the electromagnetic force of the fully opened electromagnet, and the valve operating mechanism with excellent energy efficiency Can be configured.

電磁駆動バルブが記載されている。However, in the above-described configuration, the electromagnetic force of the electromagnet for attracting the mover is inversely proportional to the square of the air gap of the mover except for the influence of saturation of the magnetic path. When the armature is supplied, the electromagnetic force rapidly increases as the armature approaches the attracting electromagnet, and the armature violently collides with the electromagnet. Since there is a high demand for quietness in an internal combustion engine mounted on an automobile or the like, it is necessary to reduce the impact noise due to the above-mentioned collision. Also, when the valve is closed, the valve body also collides violently with the valve seat, causing a phenomenon that the valve body jumps on the valve seat,
There is a possibility that the valve will not be reliably closed. In order to reduce the impact noise, deceleration control of the valve body has been performed. For example, JP-A-6-129219 discloses that a valve spring is mechanically decelerated using a buffer spring.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. JP-A-2003-110555 that the electromagnet on the side opposite to the attracting side electromagnet is also energized during the operation of the valve body to perform deceleration control of the valve body. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-179806 discloses an electromagnetically driven valve that drives an intake / exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine by an electromagnetic force to open and close the valve. An electromagnetic drive having a plurality of magnetic poles of electromagnets sequentially arranged in the moving direction of the intake and exhaust valves, and means for controlling energization of the electromagnets to sequentially magnetize the magnetic poles in the order arranged according to the operation state of the internal combustion engine; A valve is described.

なく、装置の構造が複雑になるという問題もあった。In deceleration control using a buffer spring, a spring force is always generated by the buffer spring in a direction in which the mover is separated from the electromagnet. Need to supply. In the deceleration control in which the electromagnet on the opposite side is also energized, the air gap between the electromagnet and the mover becomes large in a state immediately before seating, which requires the most deceleration, and it is necessary to supply a large exciting current. Other conventional deceleration controls not only require a large holding current or an exciting current, as described above, but also have a problem that the structure of the device becomes complicated.

In the figure, (a) is a diagram showing a current command value to the fully-closed electromagnet, (b) is a position of the mover, and (c) is a diagram showing a time change of a current command value to the fully-opened electromagnet. In the drawing, as an example, a case where the operation is performed from the fully closed state xc to the fully opened state xo is shown. The electromagnetic valve starts operating in accordance with the opening / closing valve timing calculated from the input signal of the crank angle sensor attached to the internal combustion engine or the opening / closing valve timing directly instructed by the ECU (Engine Control Unit). And When the current supply to the fully closed electromagnet is stopped at time t0, the mover and the valve element start moving in the fully open direction by the biasing force of the spring. During this time, the supply of the acceleration current I1 to the fully opened electromagnet is started, and the mover is further accelerated in the fully opened direction by the electromagnetic force. When the mover position exceeds the neutral position xm, the spring force changes the direction of the force in the deceleration direction. Therefore, when the supply of the current to the fully open electromagnet is stopped, the mover starts to decelerate. Therefore,
By stopping the current supply at the specified time t1,
The speed at which the mover sits on the fully open electromagnet can be reduced. In this state, the movable element and the valve element return to the fully closed side due to the biasing force of the spring in the opposite direction. Therefore, at time t2, the holding current I2 for holding the movable element to the fully open side is supplied. Since the mover is seated on the fully-opened electromagnet at time t3, it is sufficient to supply a holding current I3 that can provide an electromagnetic force sufficient to oppose the spring force after time t4. That is,
Time integration of the electromagnetic force acting on the mover by the exciting current I2 supplied to the electromagnet during the period from time t0 to t1;
In other words, if the kinetic energy provided by the electromagnetic force is set to be equal to the energy lost due to friction or the like during the movement of the valve body, the speed at which the mover sits on the electromagnet can be made close to zero. . In addition, the amount of energy to be supplied also changes depending on the state of the lubricating oil in the sliding portion of the valve body and the required torque, so that the coolant temperature of the internal combustion engine, the oil temperature, the accelerator opening, the valve current command value, etc. From the value of the sensor input group 25,
The magnitude of the acceleration current I1 and the application periods t0 to t1 may be changed.

In the case of this embodiment, the output of the mover position measuring means 14 directly indicates the current state quantity 21 of the mover. The arithmetic unit 8 compares the position information of the mover with the value of the mover movement trajectory table of the storage device 9, and according to the result, D / A
The current command value is output to the conversion units 10 and 11. The converted current command value is input to the drive circuits 12 and 13 and supplies an exciting current corresponding to the command value to the electromagnets 3 and 4.

実施例の場合と同様である。The movement path of the mover held in the storage device 9 prepares in advance the change of the ideal position of the mover 2 which is realized when the mover smoothly moves so that the seating speed of the mover becomes zero. It was done. Since the kinetic energy is lost due to friction or the like during the movement of the mover 2 and the intake / exhaust valve 1, the actual trajectory of the mover operates later than the trajectory stored in the storage unit. Here, since the mover is accelerated by the electromagnetic force of the electromagnets 3 and 4, it overtakes the trajectory (movement element operation trajectory) held in the storage unit 9 when the supply energy is sufficiently given. If the supply of the acceleration current is stopped at this point, the speed at which the mover is seated on the electromagnet can be made close to zero. The control method is the same as in the first embodiment.

ができる。In the second embodiment described above, it is conceivable that the trajectory held in the storage unit is given as a target position with respect to the elapsed time after the start of the operation of the valve body. Thus, the movable element current state quantity is obtained, and the supply of the exciting current can be reduced or stopped immediately before the movable element is seated on the electromagnet based on the movable element current state quantity. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the change 40 of the ideal position of the mover realized when the mover smoothly moves so that the seating speed of the mover becomes zero is stored in a table for each elapsed time.
It is stored in the storage unit 9. That is, the time axis is adjusted to 1/2 of the period tf of the natural vibration physically determined by the mass of the valve element and the mover and the spring constant of the spring holding the same, and the trajectory of the movement is determined without considering the frictional damping. What is necessary is just to calculate in advance as a cosine curve which is the locus of the pendulum vibration.
Since the actual speed change of the mover is decelerated by friction or the like, a curve as shown by a curve 41 is drawn. Here, since the mover is accelerated by the electromagnetic force, the locus following the curve 41 moves in the direction of the arrow in the figure to catch up with the target curve 40. At this time, that is, when the supply of the acceleration current is stopped immediately before the mover is seated on the electromagnet, the speed at which the mover is seated on the electromagnet can be made close to zero.

The mover current state quantity is obtained, and the supply of the exciting current can be reduced or stopped immediately before the mover is seated on the electromagnet based on the mover current state quantity. For example, as shown by a curve 50 in FIG. 5, the ideal change in the speed of the mover realized when the mover smoothly moves so that the seating speed of the mover becomes zero is converted into a table for each mover position. deep. That is, the position axis may be set as the moving range xc to xo of the mover, and the change in speed may be calculated in advance as a sine curve. According to this method, even if the natural frequency is deviated due to, for example, a spring set due to a change with time, a variation in a spring constant at the time of manufacture, or a variation in the mass of the movable portion, the speed is not changed at a desired position (xc). It is possible to define a motion that is zero. The trajectory of the movement in the position-velocity plane will be described next. Since the actual speed change of the mover is decelerated by friction or the like, a curve as shown by a curve 51 is drawn. Here, since the mover is accelerated by the electromagnetic force, the trajectory following the curve 51 moves in the direction of the arrow in the figure to catch up with the target curve 50. At this point, that is, when the supply of the acceleration current is stopped immediately before the mover is seated on the electromagnet, the speed at which the mover is seated on the electromagnet can be made close to zero.

うことができるという利点もある。Next, a specific calculation procedure of the energy comparison will be described. The energy 61 stored in the spring is calculated from the measured position input 60 of the mover. The energy 61 stored in the spring becomes zero at the neutral position xm and becomes maximum at both ends of the movable range of the mover. In parallel,
From the measured position input 60 of the mover, the speed calculating means 62
Calculates the speed of the mover. As a method of calculating the speed, a differential operation of the position of the mover may be simply performed. In the case of discretization processing by a digital computer, the speed can be obtained by dividing the change in position by the sampling period. Alternatively, a method of defining a motion model of a spring pendulum in a computer and configuring a speed estimator using a state observer is also conceivable. Next, the kinetic energy 63 of the valve element and the mover is calculated using the speed calculated by the speed calculation means 62. As shown in FIG. 7, the calculated sum of these two energies is the total energy stored by the electromagnetic valve in the pendulum motion system. On the other hand, the energy 64 required for the mover to reach the electromagnet on the opposite side is only the energy stored in the spring at both ends of the moving range of the mover, and the kinetic energy is also zero because the mover is seated at zero speed. Here, the total energy stored in the pendulum motion system by the electromagnetic valve and the energy required for the mover to reach the electromagnet on the opposite side are compared by the comparator 65. If the total energy exceeds the required energy, it is 0, exceeding Otherwise, 1 is output. A value obtained by multiplying the output of the comparator 65 by the gain 66 is output to the drive circuit as a current command value. When the total energy exceeds the required energy, that is, immediately before the mover is seated on the electromagnet, 0 is output as the command value of the acceleration current, and if the current supply is stopped, all the kinetic energy held at that time will be spring-loaded. Is converted to energy to reduce
The speed of the mover when seated becomes zero. According to this method, the time at which the current supply is stopped can be determined without preparing a time table or a table of the trajectory pattern inside the controller. In addition, since the comparison is directly performed as the energy amount, there is an advantage that appropriate speed control can be performed even if the movable element and the valve element can be decelerated or decelerated by a disturbance that is not considered.

おいても好適な方法である。The control method of the electromagnetic valve described above can be applied not only to the reduction of the seating speed in the normal valve operation but also to the initialization operation for moving the valve body from the neutral position to the fully closed position at the time of starting the engine. It is also suitable for reducing the seating speed. As described above, the movable element and the valve element are held at the intermediate position by the balance of the integral spring when no electromagnetic force is applied, but the initialization operation for moving the intake / exhaust valve to the fully closed position when the internal combustion engine is started. Is required. Generally, the initializing operation involves supplying a large current to the electromagnet and pulling it up to the fully closed side at once, or generating an electromagnetic force alternately at a period that matches the natural vibration period of the movable part, and gradually moving by resonance A method of raising the child position to the fully closed side is used. While the electromagnetic force during steady operation is used to compensate for the loss of kinetic energy as described above, the electromagnetic force is generated when the air gap between the electromagnet and the mover is large in any of the methods during the initialization operation. You need to
Requires large current compared to steady state operation. In this case, the seating impact of the valve element and the mover must be larger than usual, and reducing the seating speed is a more important issue. Since the electromagnetic valve control method of the present invention does not require a large current for deceleration, it is a suitable method even during an initialization operation that requires more power.
