Abstract
Description
本発明は、内燃機関の燃焼室に至る吸気通路の吸気量を制御する吸気制御装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an intake air control device that controls an intake air amount in an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
従来、内燃機関の燃焼室に至る吸気通路を開閉するためのスロットル弁と、該スロットル弁の下流側で分割された上吸気通路及び下吸気通路と、下吸気通路開閉するタンブル制御弁とを備え、タンブル制御弁を閉じたときは上吸気通路のみを流れる吸気とし、タンブル制御弁を開いたときは上下吸気通路を流れる吸気として吸気量を増加させる吸気制御装置が知られている（たとえば、特許文献１参照）。 Conventionally, a throttle valve for opening and closing an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, an upper intake passage and a lower intake passage divided on the downstream side of the throttle valve, and a tumble control valve for opening and closing the lower intake passage are provided. An intake control device is known that increases the intake air amount as intake air flowing through only the upper intake passage when the tumble control valve is closed, and as intake air flowing through the upper and lower intake passages when the tumble control valve is opened (for example, patents). Reference 1).
特許文献１の吸気制御装置では、スロットル弁とタンブル制御弁とをリンク部材を介して連結するとともに、スロットル弁が所定の開度に達するまで、タンブル制御弁の回動開始を保留する機構が設けられている。 In the intake control device of Patent Document 1, a throttle valve and a tumble control valve are connected via a link member, and a mechanism for holding the rotation start of the tumble control valve until the throttle valve reaches a predetermined opening degree is provided. It has been.
一方、別の従来技術として、内燃機関の燃焼室に至る吸気通路を構成する主吸気通路を備える吸気制御装置であって、主吸気通路に設けられた絞り弁と、一端が絞り弁の上流側の主吸気通路内に開口し、他端が絞り弁の下流の吸気通路内に開口するバイパス通路を備え、バイパス通路内にアイドルスピードコントロールバルブが設けられているものが知られている（たとえば、特許文献２参照）。 On the other hand, as another prior art, an intake control device including a main intake passage that constitutes an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, the throttle valve provided in the main intake passage and one end upstream of the throttle valve It is known that a bypass passage is opened in the main intake passage, the other end is opened in the intake passage downstream of the throttle valve, and an idle speed control valve is provided in the bypass passage (for example, Patent Document 2).
上記特許文献１の吸気制御装置によれば、流路断面積の設定如何によっては２つの絞り弁の開度変化による吸気量の変化を一定にすることが困難になる場合がある。対して、上記特許文献２の従来技術の吸気制御装置によれば、絞り弁開度に拘わらずバイパス通路に流れる吸気量を制御することができ、絞り弁の開度変化による吸気量の変化を一定にすること容易となるが、絞り弁を駆動する機構とは別にアクチュエータと開度検出手段とを設ける必要がある。 According to the intake control device of Patent Document 1, it may be difficult to make the change in the intake air amount due to the change in the opening of the two throttle valves constant depending on the setting of the cross-sectional area of the flow path. On the other hand, according to the prior art intake control device of Patent Document 2, it is possible to control the intake air amount flowing through the bypass passage regardless of the throttle valve opening, and to change the intake air amount due to the change in the throttle valve opening. Although it is easy to make it constant, it is necessary to provide an actuator and an opening degree detection means separately from the mechanism for driving the throttle valve.
本発明の目的は、かかる従来技術の課題に鑑み、より少ない部品で良好な吸気制御を行うことができる吸気制御装置を提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide an intake control device that can perform good intake control with fewer parts in view of the problems of the related art.
第１発明に係る吸気制御装置は、
内燃機関の燃焼室に至る吸気通路を構成する主吸気通路を備える吸気制御装置であって、
前記主吸気通路の上流側に設けられた第１絞り弁と、
前記主吸気通路における前記第１絞り弁よりも下流側に設けられた第２絞り弁と、
一端が前記第１絞り弁と前記第２絞り弁との間の前記主吸気通路内に開口し、他端が前記第２絞り弁よりも前記燃焼室側の前記主吸気通路内に開口するバイパス通路と、
前記第１絞り弁の開度が所定値になるまで前記第２絞り弁の開弁動作を保留し、前記第１絞り弁の開度が前記所定値以上である場合に、前記第２絞り弁の開度が該第１絞り弁の開度に対応する開度となるように構成される動力伝達機構と、
前記第１絞り弁の開度を検知する開度センサと、
前記第１絞り弁を駆動するアクチュエータとを備えることを特徴とする。
An intake air control device according to a first invention is
An intake control device comprising a main intake passage that constitutes an intake passage leading to a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine,
A first throttle valve provided upstream of the main intake passage;
A second throttle valve provided downstream of the first throttle valve in the main intake passage;
One end opened in the main intake passage between the first throttle valve and the second throttle valve, and the other end opened in the main intake passage closer to the combustion chamber than the second throttle valve. A passage,
When the opening of the second throttle valve is suspended until the opening of the first throttle valve reaches a predetermined value, and the opening of the first throttle valve is greater than or equal to the predetermined value, the second throttle valve A power transmission mechanism configured such that the opening of the first throttle valve is an opening corresponding to the opening of the first throttle valve;
An opening sensor for detecting the opening of the first throttle valve;
And an actuator for driving the first throttle valve.
第１発明によれば、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値になるまでは、開度センサにより検出される第１絞り弁の開度に基づいて、第１絞り弁の開度をアクチュエータで制御しながら、バイパス通路のみを介して吸気を供給することができる。そして、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値以上になると、動力伝達機構によって、第２絞り弁の開度が第１絞り弁の開度に対応する開度とされる。 According to the first invention, until the opening of the first throttle valve reaches a predetermined value, the opening of the first throttle valve is adjusted by the actuator based on the opening of the first throttle valve detected by the opening sensor. While controlling, intake air can be supplied only through the bypass passage. And when the opening degree of a 1st throttle valve becomes more than predetermined value, the opening degree of a 2nd throttle valve will be made into the opening degree corresponding to the opening degree of a 1st throttle valve by a power transmission mechanism.
したがって、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値になるまでのバイパス通路を通る吸気量は第１絞り弁により制御することができる。このため、バイパス通路に流れる吸気の流量を調整するためのバイパス通路専用のアクチュエータを設ける必要がない。また、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値以上の場合には、第１絞り弁と第２絞り弁の開度が対応しているので、第２絞り弁用の開度センサを設ける必要も無い。このため、部品点数を減少させ、廉価な吸気制御装置を提供することができる。 Therefore, the amount of intake air that passes through the bypass passage until the opening of the first throttle valve reaches a predetermined value can be controlled by the first throttle valve. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated actuator for the bypass passage for adjusting the flow rate of the intake air flowing through the bypass passage. Further, when the opening degree of the first throttle valve is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the opening degree of the first throttle valve corresponds to the opening degree of the second throttle valve, so it is necessary to provide an opening degree sensor for the second throttle valve. No. For this reason, the number of parts can be reduced and an inexpensive intake control device can be provided.
第２発明に係る吸気制御装置は、第１発明において、
前記バイパス通路は前記主吸気通路よりも小さい断面積を有し、
前記第１絞り弁は、アクセルの操作量に対応して動作し、
前記第１絞り弁の開度が前記所定値以下であるとき、該操作量に対する前記第１絞り弁の開度の増加率が、該操作量が増大するにつれて大きくなるように前記第１絞り弁を動作させるものであることを特徴とする。
An intake control device according to a second invention is the first invention,
The bypass passage has a smaller cross-sectional area than the main intake passage;
The first throttle valve operates in accordance with the operation amount of the accelerator,
When the opening degree of the first throttle valve is equal to or less than the predetermined value, the first throttle valve is configured such that an increasing rate of the opening degree of the first throttle valve with respect to the operation amount increases as the operation amount increases. It is characterized by operating.
第２発明において、バイパス通路に比べて大きい流路断面積を有する主吸気通路に設けられた第１絞り弁を開弁していくと、バイパス通路に流れる吸気はバイパス通路が有する小さい流路断面積に対応した最大流量になってゆく。しかし、バイパス通路に流れる吸気が最大流量になってゆく過程において、その吸気は、流速が増すことによって抵抗が増え、次第に流れにくくなってゆく。 In the second aspect of the invention, when the first throttle valve provided in the main intake passage having a larger flow passage cross-sectional area than the bypass passage is opened, the intake air flowing through the bypass passage has a small flow passage cutoff that the bypass passage has. The maximum flow corresponding to the area will be reached. However, in the process in which the intake air flowing through the bypass passage reaches the maximum flow rate, the intake air becomes more resistant to flow due to an increase in resistance due to an increase in flow velocity.
よって、仮に第２絞り弁に動力を伝達する動力伝達機構が無く、第１絞り弁のみが動作した場合には、主吸気通路に流れ得る最大量の吸気がバイパス流路に流れることはない。 Therefore, if there is no power transmission mechanism for transmitting power to the second throttle valve and only the first throttle valve operates, the maximum amount of intake air that can flow to the main intake passage does not flow to the bypass flow path.
この点、第２発明によれば、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値以下であるとき、アクセルの操作量に対する第１絞り弁の開度の増加率が、操作量が増大するにつれて大きくなるようにしたので、バイパス流路に吸気が流れにくくなってゆく第１絞り弁の開度領域において、アクセル操作に応じて第１絞り弁の開度をすばやく増大させることができる。これにより、本発明の吸気制御装置が設けられた２輪車等の操縦者は、アクセルの操作量に応じた内燃機関の出力が得られるように吸気の流量を調整することができる。 In this regard, according to the second invention, when the opening degree of the first throttle valve is equal to or less than a predetermined value, the increasing rate of the opening degree of the first throttle valve with respect to the accelerator operation amount increases as the operation amount increases. Since it did in this way, the opening degree of a 1st throttle valve can be rapidly increased according to an accelerator operation in the opening area | region of a 1st throttle valve in which intake air becomes difficult to flow into a bypass flow path. Thereby, a driver of a two-wheeled vehicle or the like provided with the intake control device of the present invention can adjust the flow rate of the intake air so that the output of the internal combustion engine corresponding to the operation amount of the accelerator can be obtained.
第３発明に係る吸気制御装置は、第１発明において、
アクセルの操作量を検出するアクセルセンサの出力に基づいて前記第１絞り弁の目標開度を求め、該目標開度及び前記開度センサの出力に基づいて前記アクチュエータを駆動することにより前記第１絞り弁の開度を制御する制御部を備え、
前記制御部は、
前記アクセルの操作量が前記所定値に対応する値未満であるときと該値以上であるときとで該操作量に対する前記第１絞り弁の開度の変化特性が異なるように前記第１絞り弁の開度を制御するものであることを特徴とする。
An intake control device according to a third aspect of the present invention is the first aspect,
A target opening of the first throttle valve is obtained based on an output of an accelerator sensor that detects an operation amount of an accelerator, and the actuator is driven based on the target opening and the output of the opening sensor, thereby driving the first actuator. Provided with a control unit that controls the opening of the throttle valve,
The controller is
The first throttle valve is configured so that the change characteristic of the opening of the first throttle valve with respect to the operation amount differs between when the operation amount of the accelerator is less than a value corresponding to the predetermined value. It is characterized by controlling the degree of opening.
第３発明によれば、第１絞り弁の開度が所定値になって第２絞り弁が開く前と後とでは、第１絞り弁の開度に対する吸気流量の増加特性が変わる。しかし、この前後で、アクセルの操作量に対する第１絞り弁の目標開度を求めるために用いるパラメータを切り換えることなどによって該操作量に対する第１絞り弁の開度の変化特性を適切に変化させることにより、アクセルの操作量に応じた内燃機関の出力が得られるように、空気の流量を調整することができる。 According to the third invention, the increase characteristic of the intake flow rate with respect to the opening of the first throttle valve changes before and after the opening of the second throttle valve when the opening of the first throttle valve reaches a predetermined value. However, before and after this, the change characteristic of the opening degree of the first throttle valve with respect to the operation amount is appropriately changed by switching the parameter used for obtaining the target opening degree of the first throttle valve with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator. Thus, the flow rate of air can be adjusted so that the output of the internal combustion engine corresponding to the operation amount of the accelerator can be obtained.
以下、図面を用いて本発明の実施形態を説明する。実施形態の吸気制御装置１は、図１に示すように、内燃機関２の燃焼室３に至る吸気通路を構成する主吸気通路４を備える。主吸気通路４の上流側には第１絞り弁５が設けられ、主吸気通路４における第１絞り弁５よりも下流側には第２絞り弁６が設けられる。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the intake control device 1 of the embodiment includes a main intake passage 4 that constitutes an intake passage that reaches the combustion chamber 3 of the internal combustion engine 2. A first throttle valve 5 is provided upstream of the main intake passage 4, and a second throttle valve 6 is provided downstream of the first throttle valve 5 in the main intake passage 4.
また、主吸気通路４には、一端が第１絞り弁５と第２絞り弁６との間の主吸気通路４内に開口し、他端が第２絞り弁６よりも燃焼室３側の主吸気通路４内に開口するバイパス通路７が設けられる。バイパス通路７は主吸気通路４よりも小さい断面積を有する。 One end of the main intake passage 4 opens into the main intake passage 4 between the first throttle valve 5 and the second throttle valve 6, and the other end is closer to the combustion chamber 3 than the second throttle valve 6. A bypass passage 7 opening in the main intake passage 4 is provided. The bypass passage 7 has a smaller cross-sectional area than the main intake passage 4.
なお、バイパス通路７の他端側は、燃料噴射弁を構成するインジェクター８のエアアシストを行う場合にはインジェクター８の近傍に位置付けられ、燃焼室３内に旋回流を発生させる目的を有する場合には吸気ポート９の片側に配置される。 The other end side of the bypass passage 7 is positioned in the vicinity of the injector 8 when performing air assist of the injector 8 constituting the fuel injection valve, and has a purpose of generating a swirling flow in the combustion chamber 3. Is arranged on one side of the intake port 9.
第１絞り弁５と、第２絞り弁６との間には、第１絞り弁５の開度が所定値になるまで第２絞り弁６の開弁動作を保留し、第１絞り弁５の開度が所定値以上である場合に、第２絞り弁６の開度が第１絞り弁５の開度に対応する開度となるように構成される動力伝達機構１０が設けられる。 Between the first throttle valve 5 and the second throttle valve 6, the opening operation of the second throttle valve 6 is suspended until the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 reaches a predetermined value. A power transmission mechanism 10 is provided that is configured such that the opening degree of the second throttle valve 6 becomes an opening degree corresponding to the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 when the opening degree is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
図２に示すように、吸気制御装置１は、また、第１絞り弁５の開度を検知する開度センサ１１と、第１絞り弁５を駆動するアクチュエータとしてのモータ１２と、モータ１２を駆動することにより第１絞り弁５の開度を制御する制御部１３とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 2, the intake control device 1 also includes an opening sensor 11 that detects the opening of the first throttle valve 5, a motor 12 as an actuator that drives the first throttle valve 5, and a motor 12. And a control unit 13 that controls the opening of the first throttle valve 5 by being driven.
制御部１３は、吸気制御装置１が設けられた２輪車等のアクセル１４の操作量を検出するアクセルセンサ１５の出力に基づいて第１絞り弁５の目標開度を求め、第１絞り弁５の開度が該目標開度となるように、開度センサ１１の出力に基づいてモータ１２をフィードバック制御する。すなわち、制御部１３は、いわゆる電子制御スロットルを構成する。 The control unit 13 obtains the target opening of the first throttle valve 5 based on the output of the accelerator sensor 15 that detects the operation amount of the accelerator 14 such as a two-wheeled vehicle provided with the intake control device 1, and the first throttle valve The motor 12 is feedback-controlled based on the output of the opening sensor 11 so that the opening of 5 becomes the target opening. That is, the control unit 13 constitutes a so-called electronic control throttle.
モータ１２の駆動力は、モータ１２の回転軸に設けられたピニオンギア１６から中間ギア１７を経て、第１絞り弁５の弁軸１８に固定された最終ギア１９に伝達され、第１絞り弁５を開閉駆動する。弁軸１８の両側は、主吸気通路４が形成されたスロットルボディ２０によりに回転自在に支持される。 The driving force of the motor 12 is transmitted from the pinion gear 16 provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 12 through the intermediate gear 17 to the final gear 19 fixed to the valve shaft 18 of the first throttle valve 5, and the first throttle valve. 5 is opened and closed. Both sides of the valve shaft 18 are rotatably supported by a throttle body 20 in which the main intake passage 4 is formed.
スロットルボディ２０から突出した弁軸１８の一端側に上記の最終ギア１９が固定され、さらにその外側に上記の開度センサ１１が設けられる。開度センサ１１は、弁軸１８の端部に固定されたロータ２１と、スロットルボディ２０側に固定されたステータ２２とを備える。 The final gear 19 is fixed to one end side of the valve shaft 18 protruding from the throttle body 20, and the opening sensor 11 is provided on the outer side. The opening sensor 11 includes a rotor 21 fixed to the end of the valve shaft 18 and a stator 22 fixed to the throttle body 20 side.
スロットルボディ２０から突出した弁軸１８の他端側には、上記の動力伝達機構１０を構成する１つのリンク部材２３の一端が固定される。また、弁軸１８の該他端の近傍には、リンク部材２３とスロットルボディ２０との間に第１絞り弁５を閉位置に付勢する戻しばね２４が設けられる。モータ１２は、戻しばね２４の付勢力に抗しながら、第１絞り弁５を開閉させる。 One end of one link member 23 constituting the power transmission mechanism 10 is fixed to the other end side of the valve shaft 18 protruding from the throttle body 20. Further, a return spring 24 that biases the first throttle valve 5 to the closed position is provided between the link member 23 and the throttle body 20 in the vicinity of the other end of the valve shaft 18. The motor 12 opens and closes the first throttle valve 5 while resisting the biasing force of the return spring 24.
図３は、第１絞り弁５の開閉動作に応じて動力伝達機構１０を介して第２絞り弁６が開閉するときの第１絞り弁５の開度に対する第２絞り弁６の開度の変化特性を示す。図３のグラフにおいて、横軸は第１絞り弁の開度であり、縦軸は第２絞り弁の開度である。 FIG. 3 shows the opening degree of the second throttle valve 6 relative to the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 when the second throttle valve 6 opens and closes via the power transmission mechanism 10 according to the opening / closing operation of the first throttle valve 5. The change characteristic is shown. In the graph of FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the opening degree of the first throttle valve, and the vertical axis represents the opening degree of the second throttle valve.
図３のように、第１絞り弁５が全閉状態から所定の開度Ａに達するまでの間、第２絞り弁６は開かない。すなわち、第２絞り弁６は全閉状態にある。したがって、全閉が不完全である場合の第２絞り弁６から漏れ出す空気を除き、内燃機関２に供給される吸気の大半がバイパス通路７を経て供給される。 As shown in FIG. 3, the second throttle valve 6 is not opened until the first throttle valve 5 reaches the predetermined opening A from the fully closed state. That is, the second throttle valve 6 is in a fully closed state. Therefore, most of the intake air supplied to the internal combustion engine 2 is supplied via the bypass passage 7 except for the air leaking from the second throttle valve 6 in the case where the fully closed state is incomplete.
第１絞り弁５が開度Ａに達すると、第２絞り弁６が開き始める。第２絞り弁６の開度は、動力伝達機構１０により、第１絞り弁５の開度に対応した値とされる。そして、第１絞り弁５が全開状態になるときには、同時に第２絞り弁６も前開状態になる。 When the first throttle valve 5 reaches the opening A, the second throttle valve 6 starts to open. The opening degree of the second throttle valve 6 is set to a value corresponding to the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 by the power transmission mechanism 10. When the first throttle valve 5 is fully opened, the second throttle valve 6 is simultaneously opened.
図４は、アクセル１４の操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の変化を示す。横軸はアクセル１４の操作量であり、縦軸は第１絞り弁５の開度である。図４のように、アクセル１４の操作量が第１絞り弁５の開度の所定値Ａに対応する値ａ未満であるときと該値ａ以上であるときとで、該操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の変化特性が異なるように第１絞り弁５の開度が制御される。 FIG. 4 shows a change in the opening of the first throttle valve 5 with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator 14. The horizontal axis represents the operation amount of the accelerator 14, and the vertical axis represents the opening of the first throttle valve 5. As shown in FIG. 4, when the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is less than a value a corresponding to the predetermined value A of the opening of the first throttle valve 5 and when it is greater than or equal to the value a, the first The opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 is controlled so that the change characteristics of the opening degree of the throttle valve 5 are different.
具体的には、アクセル１４の操作量が所定値Ａに対応する値ａ未満であるとき、制御部１３は、アクセル１４の操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の増加率が、該操作量が増大するにつれて大きくなるようにモータ１２を制御する。すなわち、アクセル１４の操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度変化の特性曲線を該操作量で微分した値が正であり、第１絞り弁５の開度は、アクセル１４の操作量が大きくなるほど、一定の操作量の変化に対する開度の変化がより大きくなるように制御される。 Specifically, when the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is less than the value a corresponding to the predetermined value A, the control unit 13 indicates that the increase rate of the opening of the first throttle valve 5 with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is the operation amount. The motor 12 is controlled so as to increase as the amount increases. That is, the value obtained by differentiating the characteristic curve of the change in opening of the first throttle valve 5 with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is positive, and the opening amount of the first throttle valve 5 is large when the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is large. The control is performed so that the change in the opening with respect to the change in the certain operation amount becomes larger.
この間、第２絞り弁６は閉じられているので、吸気はバイパス通路７のみを介して内燃機関２の燃焼室３に供給される。この場合、バイパス通路７の断面積は主吸気通路４の断面積より小さいので、第１絞り弁５の開度が大きくなるにつれてバイパス通路７の気流に対する抵抗が増大する。このため、第１絞り弁５の開度の増加に対するバイパス通路７内の吸気流量の増大率が減少してゆく。 During this time, since the second throttle valve 6 is closed, the intake air is supplied to the combustion chamber 3 of the internal combustion engine 2 only through the bypass passage 7. In this case, since the cross-sectional area of the bypass passage 7 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the main intake passage 4, the resistance to the air flow in the bypass passage 7 increases as the opening of the first throttle valve 5 increases. For this reason, the increase rate of the intake flow rate in the bypass passage 7 with respect to the increase in the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 decreases.
したがって、アクセル１４の操作量に対して第１絞り弁５の開度がリニアに変化する（開度の増加率がゼロである）とすれば、アクセル１４を操作にしたにも拘わらず、その操作に見合った分だけの内燃機関２の出力が得られないことになる。 Therefore, if the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 changes linearly with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 (the increase rate of the opening degree is zero), the accelerator 14 is operated even though the accelerator 14 is operated. The output of the internal combustion engine 2 corresponding to the operation cannot be obtained.
しかしながら、本実施形態では、上記のように、アクセル１４の操作量が増大するほど、該操作量の増大に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の増加率が増大するように制御部１３がモータ１２を制御するので、上記のバイパス通路７内の吸気流量増大率の減少が、この第１絞り弁５の開度の増加率の増大によって相殺される。 However, in the present embodiment, as described above, as the operation amount of the accelerator 14 increases, the control unit 13 causes the motor 12 to increase the increase rate of the opening of the first throttle valve 5 with respect to the increase of the operation amount. Therefore, the decrease in the increase rate of the intake flow rate in the bypass passage 7 is offset by the increase in the increase rate of the opening of the first throttle valve 5.
したがって、この開度の増加率の増大を適切に行うことにより、アクセル１４の操作量に見合った内燃機関２の出力が得られ、内燃機関２を良好なフィーリングで立ち上げることができる。 Therefore, by appropriately increasing the increase rate of the opening degree, the output of the internal combustion engine 2 corresponding to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 can be obtained, and the internal combustion engine 2 can be started up with a good feeling.
アクセル１４の操作量が所定値Ａに対応する値ａ以上であるときは、第１絞り弁５の開度が最大の値Ｂとなるまで、第２絞り弁６が第１絞り弁５の開度に対応する開度で開かれるので、例えば図４のように、アクセル１４の操作量に対してリニアに第１絞り弁５の開度が変化するように制御することによって、該操作量に見合った分だけの内燃機関２の出力を得ることができる。 When the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is equal to or greater than the value a corresponding to the predetermined value A, the second throttle valve 6 is opened to the first throttle valve 5 until the opening of the first throttle valve 5 reaches the maximum value B. Therefore, the amount of operation is controlled by controlling the opening of the first throttle valve 5 so as to change linearly with respect to the amount of operation of the accelerator 14, for example, as shown in FIG. The output of the internal combustion engine 2 can be obtained as much as the appropriate amount.
以上のように、本実施形態によれば、第１絞り弁５の開度が所定値Ａになるまでは、開度センサ１１の出力に基づいて第１絞り弁５を制御しながら、バイパス通路７のみを介して吸気を供給し、第１絞り弁５の開度が所定値Ａ以上になると、動力伝達機構１０によって、第２絞り弁６の開度が第１絞り弁５の開度に対応する開度となるようにしたので、バイパス通路７専用のアクチュエータ及び第２絞り弁６用の開度センサを設ける必要を無くし、廉価な吸気制御装置１を提供することができる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, the bypass passage is controlled while controlling the first throttle valve 5 based on the output of the opening degree sensor 11 until the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 reaches the predetermined value A. When the intake air is supplied only through 7 and the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 reaches a predetermined value A or more, the opening degree of the second throttle valve 6 is changed to the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 by the power transmission mechanism 10. Since the corresponding opening is set, it is not necessary to provide an actuator dedicated to the bypass passage 7 and an opening sensor for the second throttle valve 6, and the inexpensive intake control device 1 can be provided.
また、第１絞り弁５の開度が所定値Ａ以下であるとき、アクセル１４の操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の増加率が、該操作量が増大するにつれて大きくなるように第１絞り弁５を動作させるようにしたので、アクセル１４の操作量に応じた内燃機関２の出力が得られるように吸気量を調整することができる。 Further, when the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 is equal to or less than the predetermined value A, the increase rate of the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 with respect to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is increased so as to increase as the operation amount increases. Since the one throttle valve 5 is operated, the intake air amount can be adjusted so that the output of the internal combustion engine 2 corresponding to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 can be obtained.
また、アクセル１４の操作量が、第１絞り弁５の開度が上記所定値Ａである場合に対応する値未満であるときと該値以上であるときとで該操作量に対する第１絞り弁５の開度の変化特性が異なるように第１絞り弁５の開度を制御するようにしたので、所定値Ａの前後で第１絞り弁５の開度に対する吸気量の増加特性が変化するにも拘わらず、アクセル１４の操作量に応じた内燃機関２の出力が得られるように吸気量を調整することができる。 Further, the first throttle valve with respect to the operation amount when the operation amount of the accelerator 14 is less than a value corresponding to the case where the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 is the predetermined value A and when it is more than the value. Since the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 is controlled so that the change characteristic of the opening degree 5 differs, the increase characteristic of the intake air amount with respect to the opening degree of the first throttle valve 5 changes before and after the predetermined value A. Nevertheless, the intake air amount can be adjusted so that the output of the internal combustion engine 2 corresponding to the operation amount of the accelerator 14 can be obtained.
