Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To substantialize early activation of a catalyst and HC reduction due to after-burning by drastic delay of ignition timing, and to avoid thermal damage of a catalyst converter due to a rapid temperature rise. <P>SOLUTION: At cold start of an internal combustion engine requiring early temperature rise of a catalytic convertor, ignition timing is set after a compression top dead center, and super retard combustion for injecting fuel before the ignition timing and after the compression top dead center is performed. Since turbulence inside a cylinder is improved due to high-pressure fuel injection immediately before the ignition timing and flame spread is promoted, stable combustion can be realized. In super retard combustion, a high exhaust temperature can be obtained, and when the exhaust temperature is raised immediately after cold start, thermal distortion of the catalyst converter is increased. Therefore, until the catalyst temperature reaches the activation start temperature, the top dead center injection operation mode is prohibited. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、筒内に燃料を直接に噴射する筒内直接噴射式火花点火内燃機関に関し、特に、排気系の触媒コンバータの早期昇温(早期活性化)が要求される冷間始動時などにおける噴射時期および点火時期の制御に関する。   The present invention relates to an in-cylinder direct injection type spark ignition internal combustion engine that directly injects fuel into a cylinder, and in particular, at a cold start in which early temperature rise (early activation) of an exhaust system catalytic converter is required. It relates to control of injection timing and ignition timing.

特許文献1には、筒内直接噴射式火花点火内燃機関の触媒暖機方法として、排気浄化用の触媒コンバータが活性温度よりも低い未暖機状態のときに、吸気行程から点火時期にかけての期間内で、部分的な空燃比の濃淡を有する混合気を燃焼室内に形成する後期噴射と、この後期噴射より前に燃料を噴射して、後期噴射の燃料と後期噴射の燃焼とで延焼可能な、理論空燃比よりもリーンな空燃比の混合気を燃焼室内に生成する早期噴射と、の少なくとも2回の分割噴射を行い、かつ点火時期をMBT点より所定量リタードさせるとともに、機関の無負荷領域では点火時期を圧縮上死点よりも前に設定し、無負荷領域を除く低速低負荷領域では点火時期を圧縮上死点以降までリタードさせる技術が記載されている。上記後期噴射は、圧縮行程の中期以降、例えば120°BTDC〜45°BTDCに行われる。

In this case, it is possible to spread the fuel by the late injection in which the air-fuel mixture having a partial air-fuel ratio concentration is formed in the combustion chamber, the fuel is injected before this late injection, and the fuel of the late injection and the combustion of the late injection And at least two split injections of early injection for generating an air-fuel mixture leaner than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber, and retarding the ignition timing by a predetermined amount from the MBT point, and no engine load A technique is described in which the ignition timing is set before the compression top dead center in the region, and the ignition timing is retarded until the compression top dead center in the low speed and low load region excluding the no-load region. The latter-stage injection is performed after the middle of the compression stroke, for example, at 120 ° BTDC to 45 ° BTDC.
Japanese Patent No. 3325230

内燃機関の冷機時における触媒の早期活性化および後燃えによるHC低減のためには、点火時期の遅角が有効であり、より大きな効果を得るためには、圧縮上死点以降の点火(ATDC点火)が望ましい。ATDC点火で安定した燃焼を行わせるためには、燃焼期間を短縮する必要があり、そのために、筒内の乱れを強化して、燃焼速度(火炎伝播速度)を上昇させることが必要である。   For early activation of the catalyst when the internal combustion engine is cold and HC reduction due to afterburning, retarding the ignition timing is effective. To obtain a greater effect, ignition after compression top dead center (ATDC) Ignition) is desirable. In order to perform stable combustion by ATDC ignition, it is necessary to shorten the combustion period. For this reason, it is necessary to increase the combustion speed (flame propagation speed) by strengthening the turbulence in the cylinder.

このような乱れの強化のために、筒内に高圧で噴射される燃料噴霧のエネルギにより筒内に乱れを生成することが考えられる。   In order to strengthen such disturbance, it is conceivable that the disturbance is generated in the cylinder by the energy of the fuel spray injected at a high pressure in the cylinder.

しかしながら、特許文献1では、主に、1回目の燃料噴射(早期噴射)を吸気行程中に行い、2回目の燃料噴射(後期噴射)を圧縮行程中の120°BTDC〜45°BTDCに行っている。このように最後の燃料噴射が圧縮上死点よりも前では、その噴霧により筒内に乱れを生成しても、圧縮上死点以降はその乱れが減衰してしまい、ATDC点火での火炎伝播速度上昇には寄与しない。   However, in Patent Document 1, the first fuel injection (early injection) is performed during the intake stroke, and the second fuel injection (late injection) is performed from 120 ° BTDC to 45 ° BTDC during the compression stroke. Yes. As described above, before the last fuel injection is before the compression top dead center, even if the spray generates turbulence in the cylinder, the turbulence is attenuated after the compression top dead center, and the flame propagation in ATDC ignition Does not contribute to speed increase.

例えば、図9は、吸気ポート内に設けたガス流動制御弁(例えばタンブル制御弁)を作動させた場合とこのようなガス流動制御弁を具備しない場合とについて、筒内の乱れの大きさを示したものであるが、ガス流動制御弁を作動させることで吸気行程中に生成した乱れ(符号Aの部分)は、圧縮行程の進行とともに減衰し、圧縮行程後期のタンブル流の崩壊に伴い一時的に乱れが大きくなる(符号Bの部分)ものの、圧縮上死点以降は符号Cで示すように急速に減衰してしまい、その乱れを用いた燃焼改善(火炎伝播向上)はあまり期待できない。燃料噴霧による乱れについても同様であり、圧縮上死点より前の燃料噴射により乱れが生成されたとしても、圧縮上死点以降の点火燃焼には寄与しない。   For example, FIG. 9 shows the magnitude of turbulence in the cylinder when a gas flow control valve (for example, a tumble control valve) provided in the intake port is operated and when such a gas flow control valve is not provided. As shown, the turbulence (part A) generated during the intake stroke by operating the gas flow control valve is attenuated as the compression stroke progresses, and is temporarily accompanied by the collapse of the tumble flow in the latter half of the compression stroke. Although the turbulence increases (the portion indicated by reference symbol B), after the compression top dead center, as shown by the reference symbol C, it rapidly attenuates, and combustion improvement (improving flame propagation) using the turbulence cannot be expected so much. The same applies to turbulence caused by fuel spray, and even if turbulence is generated by fuel injection before compression top dead center, it does not contribute to ignition combustion after compression top dead center.

このため、ATDC点火の方が排温上昇やHC低減に有利であるが、燃焼安定性が成立しないため、特許文献1では、無負荷領域では点火時期を圧縮上死点前(BTDC点火)としている。   For this reason, ATDC ignition is more advantageous for increasing exhaust temperature and reducing HC, but combustion stability is not established. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, the ignition timing is set to before compression top dead center (BTDC ignition) in the no-load region. Yes.

本発明は、このような実状を踏まえて、触媒の早期活性化およびHC低減などのためのATDC点火での燃焼安定性を改善することを目的としている。   The present invention aims to improve the combustion stability in ATDC ignition for early activation of the catalyst, reduction of HC, and the like based on such a situation.

本発明は、筒内に直接燃料を噴射する燃料噴射弁を備えるとともに、点火プラグを備えてなる筒内直接噴射式火花点火内燃機関の制御装置において、所定の運転状態のとき、例えば触媒コンバータの冷機時のような排気ガス温度の昇温が必要な場合などに、点火時期を圧縮上死点後に設定するとともに、この点火時期前でかつ圧縮上死点後に燃料を噴射する超リタード燃焼を行うことを特徴としている。なお、NOxを吸着するNOxトラップ触媒においては、硫黄成分(SOx)が触媒に付着することによりNOx吸着性能が低下するので、触媒を強制的に高温化してSOxを放出するSOx放出処理(硫黄被毒解除)を行う必要があるが、このSOx放出処理の際の排気ガス温度の昇温を、上記の超リタード燃焼を利用して行うことも可能である。そして、本発明では、特に、排気系に設けられた触媒コンバータが所定の低温状態にある間は上記超リタード燃焼を禁止するようにしている。   The present invention provides a control device for an in-cylinder direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine that includes a fuel injection valve that directly injects fuel into a cylinder and that includes an ignition plug. When the exhaust gas temperature needs to be raised, such as when the engine is cold, the ignition timing is set after the compression top dead center, and super retard combustion is performed to inject fuel before the ignition timing and after the compression top dead center. It is characterized by that. In the NOx trap catalyst that adsorbs NOx, the sulfur component (SOx) adheres to the catalyst, so that the NOx adsorption performance deteriorates. Therefore, the SOx release treatment (sulfur coating) that forcibly increases the temperature of the catalyst and releases SOx. However, it is also possible to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas during the SOx release process using the above-mentioned super retard combustion. In the present invention, the super retard combustion is prohibited particularly while the catalytic converter provided in the exhaust system is in a predetermined low temperature state.

すなわち、圧縮上死点以降では、吸気行程や圧縮行程で生成された乱れは減衰してしまうが、圧縮上死点以降の膨張行程中になされる燃料噴射によって、筒内の乱れを生成・強化することができ、ATDC点火での火炎伝播が促進される。従って、点火時期を圧縮上死点後とした超リタード燃焼が安定的に成立する。   In other words, after the compression top dead center, the turbulence generated in the intake stroke and the compression stroke is attenuated, but the in-cylinder turbulence is generated and strengthened by the fuel injection performed during the expansion stroke after the compression top dead center. Flame propagation with ATDC ignition is facilitated. Therefore, super retard combustion with the ignition timing after the compression top dead center is established stably.

ここで、上記のように点火時期を大幅に遅角させた超リタード燃焼においては、特許文献1などの従来の技術に比べて、排気温度が非常に高くなるため、仮に、触媒コンバータが完全な冷機状態(外気温に近い状態)にあるときに、機関の始動後直ちに超リタード燃焼に移行したとすると、触媒コンバータ内部の温度勾配が非常に急なものとなる。つまり、モノリス型セラミックス触媒担体などの上流側部分のみが急激に高温となり、熱歪が大きくなる懸念が生じる。   Here, in the super retard combustion in which the ignition timing is greatly retarded as described above, the exhaust temperature becomes very high as compared with the conventional technology such as Patent Document 1, so that the catalytic converter is completely If the engine is in a cold state (close to the outside air temperature) and if the engine is shifted to super retarded combustion immediately after the engine is started, the temperature gradient inside the catalytic converter becomes very steep. That is, there is a concern that only the upstream portion such as the monolithic ceramic catalyst carrier rapidly becomes high in temperature and the thermal strain increases.

そこで、本発明では、排気系に設けられた触媒コンバータが所定の低温状態にある間は上記超リタード燃焼を禁止するようにしている。   Therefore, in the present invention, the super retard combustion is prohibited while the catalytic converter provided in the exhaust system is in a predetermined low temperature state.

本発明の一つの態様では、触媒コンバータが触媒活性開始に達するまで上記超リタード燃焼を禁止する。触媒の活性が僅かでも開始すると、その発熱反応により触媒コンバータが内部から温度上昇しようとするため、上流から触媒コンバータへ流入する排気の温度が非常に高くなったとしても、触媒コンバータの温度勾配は、緩やかなものとなる。   In one embodiment of the present invention, the super retard combustion is prohibited until the catalytic converter reaches the start of catalytic activity. If the catalytic activity starts even slightly, the catalytic converter tries to increase the temperature from the inside due to the exothermic reaction, so even if the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing from the upstream to the catalytic converter becomes very high, the temperature gradient of the catalytic converter is It will be moderate.

本発明の一つの態様では、触媒コンバータ出口部の排気温度が所定温度に達するまで上記超リタード燃焼を禁止する。触媒コンバータ出口部の温度変化は、触媒コンバータの担体の温度変化よりも遅れて生じるので、これがある程度高くなった時点では、触媒コンバータ全体がある程度均一に温度上昇しているとみなすことができる。従って、超リタード燃焼として排気温度が急激に上昇しても、過度の熱歪を招来することがない。   In one aspect of the present invention, the super retard combustion is prohibited until the exhaust temperature at the outlet of the catalytic converter reaches a predetermined temperature. Since the temperature change at the outlet of the catalytic converter occurs later than the temperature change of the carrier of the catalytic converter, it can be considered that the temperature of the entire catalytic converter has risen uniformly to some extent when it becomes high to some extent. Therefore, even if the exhaust temperature rapidly rises as super retard combustion, excessive thermal distortion is not caused.

また、本発明の超リタード燃焼の一つの態様では、圧縮上死点後の燃料噴射に先だって、吸気行程中もしくは圧縮行程中に、さらに燃料噴射を行う。つまり、実質的に2回に分割して燃料噴射を行う。そして、超リタード燃焼の開始時に、排気ガス温度が徐々に上昇するように2回目の燃料噴射の噴射時期を所定の噴射時期まで徐々に遅角していく。これにより急激な排気ガス温度の上昇が防止される。   Further, in one aspect of the super retard combustion according to the present invention, fuel injection is further performed during the intake stroke or the compression stroke prior to the fuel injection after the compression top dead center. That is, fuel injection is performed in substantially divided two times. Then, at the start of super retard combustion, the injection timing of the second fuel injection is gradually retarded to a predetermined injection timing so that the exhaust gas temperature gradually increases. This prevents a sudden rise in exhaust gas temperature.

この発明によれば、点火時期を圧縮上死点後に設定した超リタード燃焼の燃焼安定性を十分に確保することができ、例えば冷間始動の際に、触媒の早期活性化および後燃えによるHC低減を達成することができる。そして、触媒コンバータがある程度暖まった状態から排気ガス温度の急激な昇温が開始されるので、触媒コンバータの極端な温度勾配による熱的劣化を回避することができる。   According to the present invention, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the combustion stability of the super retard combustion in which the ignition timing is set after the compression top dead center. For example, at the time of cold start, the catalyst is activated early and the HC due to the afterburning. Reduction can be achieved. Then, since the exhaust gas temperature starts to rise rapidly from a state where the catalytic converter is warmed to some extent, thermal deterioration due to an extreme temperature gradient of the catalytic converter can be avoided.

以下、この発明の一実施例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1は、この発明が適用される筒内直接噴射式火花点火内燃機関のシステム構成を示す構成説明図である。   FIG. 1 is a configuration explanatory view showing a system configuration of a direct injection type spark ignition internal combustion engine to which the present invention is applied.

この内燃機関1のピストン2により形成される燃焼室3には、吸気弁(図示せず)を介して吸気通路4が接続され、かつ排気弁(図示せず)を介して排気通路5が接続されている。上記吸気通路4には、吸入空気量を検出するエアフロメータ6が配設されているとともに、制御信号によりアクチュエータ8を介して開度制御される電子制御スロットル弁7が配設されている。排気通路5には、排気浄化用の触媒コンバータ10が配設されているとともに、その上流側および下流側にそれぞれ空燃比センサ11,12が設けられており、さらに、上流側の空燃比センサ11と並んで、触媒コンバータ10入口側での排気温度を検出する排気温度センサ13が設けられている。さらに、本実施例では、触媒コンバータ10の温度状態を検出するために、該触媒コンバータ10のモノリス型セラミックス触媒担体の長手方向中央部に配置された触媒温度センサ31と、触媒コンバータ10の出口部に配置された触媒出口温度センサ32と、を備えている。   An intake passage 4 is connected to the combustion chamber 3 formed by the piston 2 of the internal combustion engine 1 via an intake valve (not shown), and an exhaust passage 5 is connected via an exhaust valve (not shown). Has been. The intake passage 4 is provided with an air flow meter 6 for detecting the amount of intake air, and an electronically controlled throttle valve 7 whose opening degree is controlled via an actuator 8 by a control signal. The exhaust passage 5 is provided with a catalytic converter 10 for purifying exhaust gas, and air-fuel ratio sensors 11 and 12 are provided on the upstream side and the downstream side, respectively. Further, the upstream air-fuel ratio sensor 11 is provided. Is provided with an exhaust gas temperature sensor 13 for detecting the exhaust gas temperature at the inlet side of the catalytic converter 10. Further, in the present embodiment, in order to detect the temperature state of the catalytic converter 10, a catalyst temperature sensor 31 disposed at the center in the longitudinal direction of the monolithic ceramic catalyst carrier of the catalytic converter 10 and an outlet portion of the catalytic converter 10 And a catalyst outlet temperature sensor 32.

燃焼室3の中央頂上部には、点火プラグ14が配置されている。また、燃焼室3の吸気通路4側の側部に、該燃焼室3内に燃料を直接噴射する燃料噴射弁15が配置されている。この燃料噴射弁15には、高圧燃料ポンプ16およびプレッシャレギュレータ17によって所定圧力に調圧された燃料が、高圧燃料通路18を介して供給されている。従って、各気筒の燃料噴射弁15が制御パルスにより開弁することで、その開弁期間に応じた量の燃料が噴射される。なお、19は、燃圧を検出する燃圧センサ、20は、上記高圧燃料ポンプ16へ燃料を送る低圧燃料ポンプである。   A spark plug 14 is disposed at the central top of the combustion chamber 3. A fuel injection valve 15 that directly injects fuel into the combustion chamber 3 is disposed on the side of the combustion chamber 3 on the intake passage 4 side. The fuel that has been regulated to a predetermined pressure by the high-pressure fuel pump 16 and the pressure regulator 17 is supplied to the fuel injection valve 15 via the high-pressure fuel passage 18. Therefore, when the fuel injection valve 15 of each cylinder is opened by the control pulse, an amount of fuel corresponding to the valve opening period is injected. Reference numeral 19 denotes a fuel pressure sensor that detects the fuel pressure, and 20 denotes a low-pressure fuel pump that sends fuel to the high-pressure fuel pump 16.

また内燃機関1には、機関冷却水温を検出する水温センサ21が設けられているとともに、クランク角を検出するクランク角センサ22が設けられている。さらに、運転者によるアクセルペダル踏み込み量を検出するアクセル開度センサ23が設けられている。   In addition, the internal combustion engine 1 is provided with a water temperature sensor 21 for detecting the engine cooling water temperature and a crank angle sensor 22 for detecting a crank angle. Further, an accelerator opening sensor 23 is provided for detecting the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal by the driver.

上記内燃機関1の燃料噴射量や噴射時期、点火時期、等は、コントロールユニット25によって制御される。このコントロールユニット25には、上述した各種のセンサ類の検出信号が入力されている。コントロールユニット25は、これらの入力信号により検出される機関運転条件に応じて、燃焼方式つまり均質燃焼とするか成層燃焼とするかを決定するとともに、これに合わせて、電子制御スロットル弁7の開度、燃料噴射弁15の燃料噴射時期および燃料噴射量、点火プラグ14の点火時期、等を制御する。なお、暖機完了後においては、低速低負荷側の所定の領域では、通常の成層燃焼運転として、圧縮行程の適宜な時期に燃料噴射が行われ、かつ圧縮上死点前の時期に点火が行われる。燃料噴霧は点火プラグ14近傍に層状に集められ、これにより、空燃比を30〜40程度とした極リーンの成層燃焼が実現される。また、高速高負荷側の所定の領域では、通常の均質燃焼運転として、吸気行程中に燃料噴射が行われ、かつ圧縮上死点前のMBT点近傍において点火が行われる。この場合は、燃料は筒内で均質な混合気となる。この均質燃焼運転としては、運転条件に応じて、空燃比を理論空燃比とした均質ストイキ燃焼と、空燃比を20〜30程度のリーンとした均質リーン燃焼と、がある。   The fuel injection amount, injection timing, ignition timing, etc. of the internal combustion engine 1 are controlled by the control unit 25. The control unit 25 receives detection signals from the various sensors described above. The control unit 25 determines the combustion method, that is, the homogeneous combustion or the stratified combustion, in accordance with the engine operating conditions detected by these input signals, and according to this, the electronic control throttle valve 7 is opened. The fuel injection timing and fuel injection amount of the fuel injection valve 15, the ignition timing of the spark plug 14, and the like are controlled. After the warm-up is completed, in a predetermined region on the low-speed and low-load side, as normal stratified combustion operation, fuel injection is performed at an appropriate time in the compression stroke, and ignition is performed before the compression top dead center. Done. The fuel spray is collected in the vicinity of the spark plug 14, thereby achieving extremely lean stratified combustion with an air-fuel ratio of about 30 to 40. Further, in a predetermined region on the high speed and high load side, as normal homogeneous combustion operation, fuel injection is performed during the intake stroke, and ignition is performed in the vicinity of the MBT point before the compression top dead center. In this case, the fuel becomes a homogeneous mixture in the cylinder. As the homogeneous combustion operation, there are homogeneous stoichiometric combustion in which the air-fuel ratio is the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and homogeneous lean combustion in which the air-fuel ratio is lean about 20 to 30 depending on the operating conditions.

本発明は、触媒コンバータ10の早期昇温が要求される内燃機関1の冷間始動時において、排気温度を高温とするように、超リタード燃焼を行うものであり、以下、この超リタード燃焼の燃料噴射時期および点火時期を図2に基づいて説明する。   The present invention performs super retard combustion so that the exhaust gas temperature becomes high at the time of cold start of the internal combustion engine 1 where early temperature rise of the catalytic converter 10 is required. The fuel injection timing and ignition timing will be described with reference to FIG.

図2は、超リタード燃焼の3つの実施例を示しており、実施例1では、点火時期を15°〜30°ATDC(例えば20°ATDC)とし、燃料噴射時期(詳しくは燃料噴射開始時期)を、圧縮上死点以降でかつ点火時期前に設定する。なお、このとき、空燃比は、理論空燃比ないしはこれよりも若干リーン(16〜17程度)に設定される。   FIG. 2 shows three examples of super retard combustion. In Example 1, the ignition timing is set to 15 ° to 30 ° ATDC (for example, 20 ° ATDC), and the fuel injection timing (specifically, the fuel injection start timing) is shown. Is set after the compression top dead center and before the ignition timing. At this time, the air-fuel ratio is set to the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or slightly lean (about 16 to 17).

すなわち、触媒暖機促進ならびにHC低減のためには、点火時期遅角が有効であり、上死点以降の点火(ATDC点火)が望ましいが、ATDC点火で安定した燃焼を行わせるためには、燃焼期間を短縮する必要があり、そのためには、乱れによる火炎伝播を促進しなければならない。前述したように、圧縮上死点以降では、吸気行程や圧縮行程で生成された乱れは減衰してしまうが、本発明では、圧縮上死点以降の膨張行程中になされる高圧の燃料噴射によって、ガス流動が生じ、これにより筒内の乱れを生成・強化することができる。従って、ATDC点火での火炎伝播が促進され、安定した燃焼が可能となる。   That is, in order to promote catalyst warm-up and reduce HC, ignition timing retardation is effective, and ignition after top dead center (ATDC ignition) is desirable, but in order to perform stable combustion with ATDC ignition, It is necessary to shorten the combustion period, and for this purpose, flame propagation due to turbulence must be promoted. As described above, after the compression top dead center, the turbulence generated in the intake stroke and the compression stroke is attenuated, but in the present invention, by the high pressure fuel injection performed during the expansion stroke after the compression top dead center. The gas flow is generated, and thereby the turbulence in the cylinder can be generated and strengthened. Therefore, flame propagation by ATDC ignition is promoted and stable combustion is possible.

図2の実施例2は、燃料噴射を2回に分割した例であり、1回目の燃料噴射を吸気行程中に行い、2回目の燃料噴射を圧縮上死点以降に行う。なお、点火時期および空燃比(2回の噴射を合わせた空燃比)は実施例1と同様である。   The second embodiment in FIG. 2 is an example in which the fuel injection is divided into two, and the first fuel injection is performed during the intake stroke, and the second fuel injection is performed after the compression top dead center. The ignition timing and the air-fuel ratio (the air-fuel ratio obtained by combining the two injections) are the same as those in the first embodiment.

このように、圧縮上死点後の燃料噴射(膨張行程噴射)に先立ち、吸気行程中に燃料噴射(吸気行程噴射)を行うと、吸気行程噴射の燃料噴霧による乱れは圧縮行程後半で減衰してしまい、圧縮上死点後におけるガス流動強化には殆ど影響を与えないが、噴射燃料が燃焼室全体に拡散していて、ATDC点火によるHCの後燃えの促進に寄与するので、HC低減および排温上昇には有効である。   As described above, when fuel injection (intake stroke injection) is performed during the intake stroke prior to fuel injection after the compression top dead center (expansion stroke injection), disturbance due to fuel spray in the intake stroke injection is attenuated in the latter half of the compression stroke. However, since the injected fuel is diffused throughout the combustion chamber and contributes to the promotion of HC afterburning by ATDC ignition, the HC reduction and It is effective for raising the exhaust temperature.

また、図2の実施例3は、燃料噴射を2回に分割し、1回目の燃料噴射を圧縮行程にて行い、2回目の燃料噴射を圧縮上死点以降に行う。このように、圧縮上死点後の燃料噴射(膨張行程噴射)に先立ち、圧縮行程中に燃料噴射(圧縮行程噴射)を行うと、実施例2の吸気行程噴射に比べれば、圧縮行程噴射の方が、その燃料噴霧による乱れの減衰が遅くなるため、この1回目の燃料噴射による乱れが残り、圧縮上死点以降に2回目の燃料噴射を行うことで、1回目の燃料噴射で生成した乱れを助長するように乱れを強化でき、圧縮上死点付近における更なるガス流動強化が図れる。   In the third embodiment of FIG. 2, the fuel injection is divided into two, the first fuel injection is performed in the compression stroke, and the second fuel injection is performed after the compression top dead center. As described above, when the fuel injection (compression stroke injection) is performed during the compression stroke prior to the fuel injection after the compression top dead center (expansion stroke injection), the compression stroke injection is compared with the intake stroke injection of the second embodiment. However, since the disturbance of the turbulence due to the fuel spray is delayed, the turbulence due to the first fuel injection remains, and the second fuel injection is performed after the compression top dead center, which is generated by the first fuel injection. The turbulence can be strengthened to promote the turbulence, and the gas flow can be further strengthened near the compression top dead center.

この実施例3の場合に、1回目の圧縮行程噴射は、圧縮行程前半でもよいが、圧縮行程後半(90°BTDC以降)に設定すると、上死点付近での乱れをより高めることができる。特に、この1回目の圧縮行程噴射を、45°BTDC以降、より望ましくは20°BTDC以降とすると、圧縮上死点以降のガス流動をより強化することができる。   In the case of Example 3, the first compression stroke injection may be in the first half of the compression stroke, but if it is set in the second half of the compression stroke (after 90 ° BTDC), the disturbance near the top dead center can be further increased. In particular, if the first compression stroke injection is 45 ° BTDC or later, more desirably 20 ° BTDC or later, the gas flow after compression top dead center can be further enhanced.

このように、実施例1〜3の超リタード燃焼によれば、点火の直前に燃料噴霧により筒内の乱れを生成・強化することができ、火炎伝播を促進して、安定した燃焼を行わせることができる。特に、点火時期を15°〜30°ATDCまで遅角させることにより、触媒の早期活性化およびHC低減のための十分な後燃え効果を得ることができる。換言すれば、このように点火時期を大きく遅らせても、その直前まで燃料噴射を遅らせて、乱れの生成時期も遅らせることで、火炎伝播向上による燃焼改善を達成できるのである。   As described above, according to the super retarded combustion of the first to third embodiments, the turbulence in the cylinder can be generated and strengthened by the fuel spray immediately before the ignition, and the flame propagation is promoted to perform stable combustion. be able to. In particular, by retarding the ignition timing from 15 ° to 30 ° ATDC, a sufficient afterburning effect for early activation of the catalyst and reduction of HC can be obtained. In other words, even if the ignition timing is greatly delayed in this way, the fuel injection is delayed until just before that, and the generation time of the turbulence is also delayed, so that the combustion improvement by improving the flame propagation can be achieved.

ここで、上記の超リタード燃焼においては、排気ガス温度が非常に高く得られることから、触媒コンバータ10が完全な冷機状態にある始動直後から超リタード燃焼を実行すると、触媒コンバータ10の熱歪の懸念がある。そのため、本実施例では、図3のような処理により、触媒コンバータ10の温度状態を監視しつつモードの切換が行われる。   Here, in the above-described super retard combustion, the exhaust gas temperature can be obtained extremely high. Therefore, if the super retard combustion is performed immediately after the start of the catalytic converter 10 in a completely cold state, the thermal distortion of the catalytic converter 10 is reduced. There are concerns. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mode is switched while monitoring the temperature state of the catalytic converter 10 by the processing as shown in FIG.

先ず、ステップ1では、触媒出口温度センサ32により検出される触媒コンバータ10の出口温度TCを、所定の第1基準温度T1と比較し、第1基準温度T1以下であれば、ステップ2へ進んで、冷機時の通常制御を行う。上記第1基準温度T1は、触媒の活性開始温度にほぼ相当し、例えば、150℃〜200℃程度に設定される。また冷機時の通常制御は、超リタード燃焼のような極端な排気温度上昇ではなくある程度の排気温度上昇を行うためのものであり、例えば、吸気行程中に燃料噴射を行うとともに、圧縮上死点前のMBT点よりも遅れた時期に点火を行う。あるいは、吸気行程噴射に加えて圧縮行程噴射を行うようにしてもよい。機関始動時に触媒コンバータ10が完全な冷機状態にあった場合、この冷機時の通常制御によって、触媒コンバータ10の温度が徐々に上昇することになる。   First, in step 1, the outlet temperature TC of the catalytic converter 10 detected by the catalyst outlet temperature sensor 32 is compared with a predetermined first reference temperature T1, and if it is equal to or lower than the first reference temperature T1, the process proceeds to step 2. Perform normal control when cold. The first reference temperature T1 substantially corresponds to the activation start temperature of the catalyst, and is set to about 150 ° C. to 200 ° C., for example. Also, the normal control when the engine is cold is not for an extreme exhaust temperature increase such as super retard combustion, but for a certain amount of exhaust temperature increase.For example, while performing fuel injection during the intake stroke, compression top dead center Ignition is performed at a time later than the previous MBT point. Alternatively, the compression stroke injection may be performed in addition to the intake stroke injection. When the catalytic converter 10 is in a completely cold state when the engine is started, the temperature of the catalytic converter 10 is gradually increased by the normal control during the cold state.

出口温度TCが第1基準温度T1を越えていれば、ステップ3で触媒温度センサ31により検出される触媒温度TBが第2基準温度T2を越えたか判定する。第2基準温度T2は、触媒の完全活性にほぼ相当する温度であり、例えば250℃〜300℃程度に設定される。冷機状態からの始動であれば、出口温度TCが第1基準温度T1に達したときに、通常、触媒温度TBは第2基準温度T2以下であり、従って、ステップ4へ進んで、前述した超リタード燃焼を実行する。これにより、排気ガス温度は急激に上昇し、触媒コンバータ10が速やかに昇温する。この超リタード燃焼は、ステップ3で、触媒温度TBが第2基準温度T2を越えるまで継続される。触媒温度TBが第2基準温度T2を越えたら、図示した冷間時の処理を終了し、暖機後の通常制御、つまり前述した暖機後の均質燃焼運転モードもしくは成層燃焼運転モードが実行される。   If the outlet temperature TC exceeds the first reference temperature T1, it is determined in step 3 whether the catalyst temperature TB detected by the catalyst temperature sensor 31 exceeds the second reference temperature T2. The second reference temperature T2 is a temperature substantially corresponding to the complete activity of the catalyst, and is set to about 250 ° C. to 300 ° C., for example. If the engine is started from the cold state, when the outlet temperature TC reaches the first reference temperature T1, the catalyst temperature TB is normally lower than the second reference temperature T2, and therefore, the process proceeds to step 4 to Perform retarded combustion. As a result, the exhaust gas temperature rises rapidly, and the catalytic converter 10 quickly rises in temperature. This super retard combustion is continued until the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the second reference temperature T2 in Step 3. When the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the second reference temperature T2, the illustrated cold process is terminated, and the normal control after warm-up, that is, the above-described homogeneous combustion operation mode or stratified combustion operation mode after warm-up is executed. The

このように、本実施例では、出口温度TCが第1基準温度T1に達するまでは超リタード燃焼が禁止されることになり、超リタード燃焼により触媒完全活性までの所要時間を短縮しつつ触媒コンバータ10の熱的劣化を回避している。   As described above, in this embodiment, the super retard combustion is prohibited until the outlet temperature TC reaches the first reference temperature T1, and the catalytic converter reduces the time required until the catalyst is fully activated by the super retard combustion. 10 thermal degradation is avoided.

図4および図5は、触媒コンバータ10を含め内燃機関が完全に冷機状態にある状態から始動した場合の触媒コンバータ10の温度変化を、排気温度が非常に高い場合(図4)と比較的排気温度が低い場合(図5)とについて示したものである。具体的には、図6に測温点を示すように、触媒コンバータ10の入口部(A点)の温度TAと、モノリス触媒担体の上流端付近(B1点)の温度TB1と、モノリス触媒担体の下流端付近(B2点)の温度TB2と、触媒コンバータ10の出口部(C点)の温度TCと、の4箇所の温度変化を示している。   FIGS. 4 and 5 show the temperature change of the catalytic converter 10 when the internal combustion engine including the catalytic converter 10 is completely cooled. When the exhaust temperature is very high (FIG. 4), the exhaust gas is relatively exhausted. This shows the case where the temperature is low (FIG. 5). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the temperature TA at the inlet portion (point A) of the catalytic converter 10, the temperature TB1 near the upstream end (point B1) of the monolith catalyst carrier, and the monolith catalyst carrier. 4 shows temperature changes at four locations, a temperature TB2 in the vicinity of the downstream end (point B2) and a temperature TC at the outlet portion (point C) of the catalytic converter 10.

始動直後から超リタード燃焼として高い排気温度を与えた場合には、図4に示すように、触媒担体上流端温度TB1が入口部温度TAとともに急激に上昇するため、触媒担体の前後の温度差ΔTが非常に大きくなる。つまり、熱歪が大きく発生する。   When a high exhaust temperature is applied as super retard combustion immediately after start-up, as shown in FIG. 4, the catalyst carrier upstream end temperature TB1 rises rapidly with the inlet temperature TA, so the temperature difference ΔT before and after the catalyst carrier Becomes very large. That is, a large thermal distortion occurs.

これに対し、排気温度が比較的低い場合には、図5に示すように、触媒担体の前後の温度差ΔTは、十分に小さくなる。そして、出口温度TCが所定の第1基準温度T1に達した時点で超リタード燃焼に切り換えれば、図5に破線で示すように、各部の温度が急激に上昇するため、最終的な目標である触媒完全活性に至るまでの所要時間は、図4の場合と大差がないものとなる。なお、超リタード燃焼に切り換えた段階では、触媒担体の内部で反応熱が生じ始めているので、それ以後も、大きな温度差ΔTが生じることはない。   On the other hand, when the exhaust temperature is relatively low, as shown in FIG. 5, the temperature difference ΔT before and after the catalyst carrier is sufficiently small. When the outlet temperature TC reaches the predetermined first reference temperature T1, when switching to super retarded combustion, as shown by the broken lines in FIG. The time required to reach a certain catalyst complete activity is not much different from the case of FIG. Note that, at the stage of switching to super retarded combustion, reaction heat begins to be generated inside the catalyst carrier, so that a large temperature difference ΔT does not occur thereafter.

なお、上記のように超リタード燃焼を開始するときに、燃料噴射時期の調整により排気ガス温度が徐々に上昇するようにすることもできる。例えば、図2の実施例2あるいは実施例3のように2回に分割して噴射する場合に、2回目の燃料噴射の噴射時期によって、図7に示すように排気ガス温度が変化する。つまり噴射時期を遅角させるほど排気ガス温度が高くなる。従って、超リタード燃焼に移行する初期には、2回目の燃料噴射時期を予め上死点付近に進角させておき、その後、徐々に所定の噴射時期まで遅角させるようにすれば、排気ガス温度を徐々に上昇させることができ、触媒担体の熱歪をより確実に抑制できる。この場合、2回目の燃料噴射の噴射時期が一時的に圧縮上死点直前となってもよく、例えば噴射期間が圧縮上死点を跨ぐようにすることができる。   Note that when starting the super retard combustion as described above, the exhaust gas temperature can be gradually increased by adjusting the fuel injection timing. For example, when the fuel is divided into two injections as in the second embodiment or the third embodiment in FIG. 2, the exhaust gas temperature changes as shown in FIG. 7 depending on the injection timing of the second fuel injection. That is, the exhaust gas temperature increases as the injection timing is retarded. Therefore, if the second fuel injection timing is advanced in advance to the vicinity of the top dead center at the initial stage of transition to super retarded combustion, and then gradually retarded to a predetermined injection timing, the exhaust gas The temperature can be gradually increased, and the thermal distortion of the catalyst carrier can be more reliably suppressed. In this case, the injection timing of the second fuel injection may temporarily be immediately before the compression top dead center, and for example, the injection period can extend over the compression top dead center.

次に、図8のフローチャートは、始動時のモード切換の異なる実施例を示しており、以下、これを説明する。   Next, the flowchart of FIG. 8 shows a different embodiment of mode switching at the time of starting, and this will be described below.

先ず、ステップ11では、触媒温度センサ31により検出される触媒温度TBを、所定の第3基準温度T3と比較し、第3基準温度T3以下であれば、ステップ12へ進んで、前述した冷機時の通常制御を行う。上記第3基準温度T3は、やはり触媒の活性開始温度にほぼ相当し、例えば、150℃〜200℃程度に設定される。   First, in step 11, the catalyst temperature TB detected by the catalyst temperature sensor 31 is compared with a predetermined third reference temperature T3. If the catalyst temperature TB is equal to or lower than the third reference temperature T3, the process proceeds to step 12, and the above-described cold operation is performed. Perform normal control. The third reference temperature T3 is also substantially equivalent to the activation start temperature of the catalyst, and is set to about 150 ° C. to 200 ° C., for example.

触媒温度TBが第3基準温度T3を越えていれば、ステップ13へ進んで、触媒温度TBが前述の第2基準温度T2(例えば250℃〜300℃)を越えたか判定する。冷機状態からの始動であれば、ステップ11からステップ13へ進んだときに、通常、触媒温度TBは第2基準温度T2以下であり、従って、ステップ14へ進んで、前述した超リタード燃焼を実行する。これにより、排気ガス温度は急激に上昇し、触媒コンバータ10が速やかに昇温する。この超リタード燃焼は、ステップ14で、触媒温度TBが第2基準温度T2を越えるまで継続される。触媒温度TBが第2基準温度T2を越えたら、図示した冷間時の処理を終了し、暖機後の通常制御、つまり前述した暖機後の均質燃焼運転モードもしくは成層燃焼運転モードが実行される。   If the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the third reference temperature T3, the process proceeds to step 13 to determine whether the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the second reference temperature T2 (for example, 250 ° C. to 300 ° C.). If the engine is started from the cold state, the catalyst temperature TB is normally equal to or lower than the second reference temperature T2 when the process proceeds from step 11 to step 13. Therefore, the process proceeds to step 14 to execute the above-described super retard combustion. To do. As a result, the exhaust gas temperature rises rapidly, and the catalytic converter 10 quickly rises in temperature. This super retard combustion is continued until the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the second reference temperature T2 in step 14. When the catalyst temperature TB exceeds the second reference temperature T2, the illustrated cold process is terminated, and the normal control after warm-up, that is, the above-described homogeneous combustion operation mode or stratified combustion operation mode after warm-up is executed. The

このように、本実施例では、触媒温度TBが第3基準温度T3に達するまでは超リタード燃焼が禁止されることになり、前述した実施例と同じく、超リタード燃焼により触媒完全活性までの所要時間を短縮しつつ触媒コンバータ10の熱的劣化を回避することができる。本実施例によれば、触媒出口温度センサ32の省略が可能である。   As described above, in this embodiment, the super retard combustion is prohibited until the catalyst temperature TB reaches the third reference temperature T3. As in the above-described embodiment, it is necessary to achieve the complete catalyst activity by the super retard combustion. Thermal degradation of the catalytic converter 10 can be avoided while shortening the time. According to this embodiment, the catalyst outlet temperature sensor 32 can be omitted.

なお、本発明の超リタード燃焼は、排気系の触媒コンバータ10としてNOxトラップ触媒を用いた場合の硫黄被毒解除のためにも利用することができる。NOxトラップ触媒は、流入する排気の排気空燃比がリーンであるときにNOxを吸着し、流入する排気の排気空燃比がリッチであると、吸着していたNOxを放出して触媒作用により浄化処理するものであるが、燃料中の硫黄成分(SOx)が触媒に結合するとNOx吸着性能が低下する。そのため、適当な時期に、触媒を強制的に高温化してSOxを放出除去する処理(いわゆる硫黄被毒解除)が必要である。本発明の超リタード燃焼は、非常に高い排気温度を得られるので、このNOxトラップ触媒の硫黄被毒解除処理に適したものとなる。   The super retarded combustion of the present invention can also be used for releasing sulfur poisoning when a NOx trap catalyst is used as the exhaust system catalytic converter 10. The NOx trap catalyst adsorbs NOx when the exhaust air-fuel ratio of the inflowing exhaust gas is lean, and releases the adsorbed NOx when the exhaust air-fuel ratio of the inflowing exhaust gas is rich, and purifies by catalytic action. However, when the sulfur component (SOx) in the fuel is bound to the catalyst, the NOx adsorption performance is lowered. For this reason, it is necessary to perform a process (so-called sulfur poisoning release) for forcibly raising the temperature of the catalyst and releasing SOx at an appropriate time. The super retarded combustion according to the present invention can obtain a very high exhaust temperature, and therefore is suitable for the sulfur poisoning release processing of this NOx trap catalyst.
