In the above-mentioned engine device, generally, when warming up a purification device having a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas, the ignition timing is retarded and more heat is supplied to the purification device side as the ignition timing. The expansion stroke may be selected. In this case, it is also considered to perform fuel injection in synchronization with ignition in order to make ignition more reliable. Ignition in such an expansion stroke can supply a large amount of heat to the purification device to quickly warm up the purification device. Therefore, it is preferable to delay the ignition timing as much as possible, but the output torque of the engine is small. Therefore, the engine speed tends to be unstable. Further, if the ignition timing is suddenly changed to the target ignition timing after the end of the warm-up of the purification device, the output torque of the engine suddenly changes, and the engine speed increases or stalls.

The engine device of the present invention maintains a state in which the ignition timing is delayed while stabilizing the engine speed when warming up the purification device, and smoothly finishes warming up when warming up the purifying device. The main purpose is to suppress sudden changes in ignition timing.

The engine device of the present invention has adopted the following means in order to achieve the above-mentioned main object.

The engine device of the present invention

(A) The expansion stroke injection warm-up is started with the predetermined base ignition timing as the ignition timing.
(B) A correction value for retarding the ignition timing when the engine speed is greater than the predetermined rotation speed and advancing the ignition timing when the engine speed is smaller than the predetermined rotation speed is added to the base ignition timing. And calculate the ignition timing,
(C) When the expansion stroke injection warm-up is terminated, the ignition timing is advanced at the first deflection speed until the ignition timing reaches the end determination ignition timing, and the ignition timing reaches the end determination ignition timing. After that, the ignition timing is advanced at a second decay speed slower than the first decay speed until the target ignition timing after the end of the expansion stroke injection warm-up is reached.
It is characterized by that.

In the engine device of the present invention, when warming up a purification device having a purification catalyst that purifies the exhaust of the engine, the ignition plug ignites in the expansion stroke and fuel is emitted from the in-cylinder injection valve in synchronization with the ignition in this expansion stroke. When the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected and executed, the expansion stroke injection warm-up is started with the predetermined base ignition timing as the ignition timing. Then, when the engine speed is greater than the predetermined rotation speed, the ignition timing is retarded, and when the engine speed is smaller than the predetermined rotation speed, the ignition timing is advanced by adding a correction value to the base ignition timing. calculate. As a result, when the purification device is warmed up by the expansion stroke injection warm-up, it is possible to maintain the state in which the ignition timing is delayed while stabilizing the engine speed. In addition, the ignition timing can be delayed from the base ignition timing, and the purification device can be warmed up more quickly. Then, when the expansion stroke injection warm-up is terminated, the ignition timing is advanced at the first deflection speed until the ignition timing reaches the end judgment ignition timing, and after the ignition timing reaches the end judgment ignition timing, the ignition timing is ignited. The ignition timing is advanced at a second decay speed slower than the first decay speed until the target ignition timing after the end of the expansion stroke injection warm-up is reached. As a result, the expansion stroke injection warm-up can be smoothly terminated, and sudden change in the ignition timing when the ignition timing is set to the target ignition timing after the end of the expansion stroke injection warm-up can be suppressed.

It is a block diagram which shows the outline of the structure of the engine device 10 as one Example of this invention. It is a flowchart which shows an example of the rapid warm-up ignition timing control executed by ECU 70. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of the time change of the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the ignition timing Tf at the time of rapid warm-up.

Next, a mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to examples.

FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing an outline of the configuration of an engine device 10 as an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the engine device 10 of the embodiment includes an engine 12 and an electronic control unit (hereinafter, referred to as “ECU”) 70 that controls the engine 12. The engine device 10 is mounted on an automobile that travels using only the power from the engine 12, a hybrid automobile that has a motor in addition to the engine 12, construction equipment that operates using the power from the engine 12, and the like. .. In the embodiment, the case where the engine device 10 is mounted on an automobile will be described.

The engine 12 is configured as an internal combustion engine that uses fuel such as gasoline or light oil to output power through four strokes of intake, compression, expansion, and exhaust. The engine 12 has an in-cylinder injection valve 26 for injecting fuel into the cylinder and a spark plug 30. The in-cylinder injection valve 26 is arranged substantially in the center of the top of the combustion chamber 29, and injects fuel in a spray manner. The spark plug 30 is arranged in the vicinity of the in-cylinder injection valve 26 so that the fuel sprayed from the in-cylinder injection valve 26 can be ignited. The engine 12 sucks the air cleaned by the air cleaner 22 into the combustion chamber 29 through the intake pipe 25, and injects fuel from the in-cylinder injection valve 26 once or a plurality of times in the intake stroke and the compression stroke. The electric spark from the spark plug 30 explodes and burns, and the reciprocating motion of the piston 32 pushed down by the energy is converted into the rotational motion of the crank shaft 16.

The exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber 29 of the engine 12 to the exhaust pipe 33 is a purification catalyst (three-way catalyst) 34a that purifies harmful components of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). It is exhausted to the outside air through the purification device 34 having the above.

Although not shown, the ECU 70 is configured as a microprocessor centered on a CPU, and includes a ROM for storing a processing program, a RAM for temporarily storing data, and an input / output port in addition to the CPU. Signals from various sensors necessary for controlling the engine 12 are input to the ECU 70 via the input port. The signals input to the ECU 70 include, for example, a crank angle θcr from the crank position sensor 40 that detects the rotational position of the crankshaft 16, and a cooling water temperature Tw from the water temperature sensor 42 that detects the temperature of the cooling water of the engine 12. Cam angles θci and θco from the cam position sensor 44 that detect the rotational position of the intake camshaft that opens and closes the intake valve 28 and the rotational position of the exhaust camshaft that opens and closes the exhaust valve 31 can be mentioned. Further, the throttle opening TH from the throttle valve position sensor 46 that detects the position of the throttle valve 24 provided on the intake pipe 25, the intake air amount Qa from the air flow meter 48 attached to the intake pipe 25, and the intake pipe 25. The intake air temperature Ta from the temperature sensor 49 attached to the above and the intake pressure Pin from the intake pressure sensor 58 that detects the pressure in the intake pipe 25 can also be mentioned. Further, the catalyst temperature Tc from the temperature sensor 34b that detects the temperature of the purification catalyst 34a of the purification device 34, the air-fuel ratio AF from the air-fuel ratio sensor 35a attached to the exhaust pipe 33, and the oxygen sensor attached to the exhaust pipe 33. The oxygen signal O2 from 35b and the knock signal Ks from the knock sensor 59 attached to the cylinder block and detecting the vibration generated by the occurrence of knocking can also be mentioned.

Various control signals for controlling the engine 12 are output from the ECU 70 via the output port. Examples of the signal output from the ECU 70 include a drive control signal to the throttle motor 36 that adjusts the position of the throttle valve 24, a drive control signal to the in-cylinder injection valve 26, and a drive control signal to the spark plug 30. You can also do it.

The ECU 70 calculates the rotation speed of the crankshaft 16, that is, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12, based on the crank angle θcr from the crank position sensor 40. Further, the ECU 70 actually performs the volumetric efficiency as the load of the engine 12 (in one cycle with respect to the stroke volume per cycle of the engine 12) based on the intake air amount Qa from the air flow meter 48 and the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12. KL (ratio of the volume of inhaled air) is also calculated.

In the engine device 10 configured in this way, the ECU 70 controls the intake air amount of the engine 12, fuel injection control, and ignition control so that the engine 12 is operated based on the target rotation speed Ne * and the target torque Te *. Do it. In the intake air amount control, the ECU 70 sets the target air amount Qa * based on the target torque Te * of the engine 12, and sets the target throttle opening TH * so that the intake air amount Qa becomes the target air amount Qa *. Then, the throttle motor 36 is controlled so that the throttle opening TH of the throttle valve 24 becomes the target throttle opening TH *. In the fuel injection control, the ECU 70 injects the target fuel of the in-cylinder injection valve 26 so that the air-fuel ratio AF becomes the target air-fuel ratio AF * (for example, the theoretical air-fuel ratio) based on the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the volume efficiency KL. The amount Qfd * is set, and the in-cylinder injection valve 26 is controlled so that the fuel of the target fuel injection amount Qfd * is injected from the in-cylinder injection valve 26 once or a plurality of times. In the ignition control, the ECU 70 sets the target ignition timing Tf * based on the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the load factor KL, and controls the ignition coil 38 so that the ignition is performed at the target ignition timing Tf *.

Next, the operation of the engine device 10 of the embodiment configured in this manner, particularly the operation when the purification catalyst (three-way catalyst) 34a of the purification device 34 is rapidly warmed up will be described. The rapid warm-up of the purification device 34 is performed when a condition below a predetermined temperature below the temperature at which the catalyst temperature Tc is activated or a condition for accelerating off is satisfied. In the rapid warm-up, when the water temperature Tw at the start of the engine 12 is less than the first predetermined temperature (for example, 35 degrees or 45 degrees), fuel injection is performed 1 to 3 times in the intake stroke to warm the catalyst more quickly. The final fuel injection is performed in the expansion stroke in order to perform the machine and improve the emission, and is performed by the expansion stroke injection warm-up that ignites in synchronization with the fuel injection in the expansion stroke. On the other hand, when the water temperature at the start of the engine 12 is equal to or higher than the first predetermined temperature, the final fuel injection is performed in the compression stroke and the compression stroke injection warm-up that ignites in the expansion stroke is performed in order to maintain good emissions. In the expansion stroke injection warm-up, the ignition timing Tf is controlled to be retarded as much as possible. When the ignition timing Tf is retarded, the combustion efficiency decreases. Therefore, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is maintained by increasing the intake air amount. As a result, the amount of combustion gas increases, so that the absolute amount of emission components also increases, but catalyst warm-up is promoted. In the compression stroke injection warm-up, the catalyst warm-up is performed while maintaining good emissions, so that the retard angle amount of the ignition timing Tf is smaller than that in the expansion stroke injection warm-up. In the embodiment, the base ignition timing Tfbase as the base value of the ignition timing Tf and the engine speed Ne for warming up are used depending on whether the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected or the compression stroke injection warm-up is selected. In order to keep the rotation speed Net (for example, 1300 rpm or 1500 rpm), the retard correction value Tk of the feedback correction value Tk for correcting the retard angle amount of the ignition timing Tf is changed from the retard side guard value Tfgrd. Therefore, the base ignition timing Tfb1 and the retard side guard value Tfg1 at the time of expansion stroke injection warm-up, and the base ignition timing Tfb2 and retard angle side guard value Tfg2 at the time of compression stroke injection warm-up are predetermined and stored as a map. When the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected, the base ignition timing Tfb1 and the retard side guard value Tfg1 are set to the base ignition timing Tfbase and the retard side guard value Tfgrd from the map, and the compression stroke injection warm-up is selected. When this is done, the base ignition timing Tfb2 and the retard side guard value Tfg2 are set to the base ignition timing Tfbase and the retard side guard value Tfgrd from the map and used. ATDC20 (After TDC (Top Dead Center: top dead center) 20 degrees), ATDC18, etc. can be used as the base ignition timing Tfb1 during the expansion stroke injection warm-up, and the retard side guard value Tfg1 is 3. Degrees, 5 degrees and the like can be used. Further, the base ignition timing Tfb2 during the compression stroke injection warm-up is on the advance side from the base ignition timing Tfb1 during the expansion stroke injection warm-up. For example, ATDC10 or ATDC15 can be used, and the retard side guard can be used. As the value Tfg2, 3 degrees, 5 degrees, or the like can be used.

Further, the rapid warm-up is executed when the shift position is the neutral position (N position) and the drive position (D position). In the embodiment, the above-mentioned first predetermined temperature is switched depending on the shift position. That is, the water temperature Tw at the start of the engine 12 that determines whether to select the expansion stroke injection warm-up or the compression stroke injection warm-up according to the shift position switches the first predetermined temperature. For example, it is assumed that 45 degrees is used as the first predetermined temperature at the N position, 35 degrees is used as the first predetermined temperature at the D position, and the expansion stroke injection is performed at the N position as compared with the D position. It may be easier to select warm-up.

When the rapid warm-up is performed at a high altitude, the output torque of the engine 12 decreases due to the decrease in air density. Therefore, the base ignition timing is used in both the expansion stroke injection warm-up and the compression stroke injection warm-up. Tfbase is corrected to the advance angle side.

Next, the ignition timing at the time of rapid warm-up will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of rapid warm-up ignition timing control executed by the ECU 70 during rapid warm-up of the purification device 34. In the following, the description will be made on the assumption that the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected.

When the rapid warm-up ignition timing control is executed, the ECU 70 first ignites a new value obtained by adding the process of inputting the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 (step S100) and the ignition timing Tf to the first rate value Trt1. The process of calculating the timing Tf (step S110) is repeated until the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 reaches the predetermined rotation speed Neref or higher (step S120). In the rapid warm-up, first, the intake air amount is increased to raise the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 to the warm-up speed Neset (for example, 1300 rpm or 1500 rpm), and at the same time, the ignition timing is slowly retarded. Therefore, it is preferable to use a value such that the first rate value Trt1 does not hinder the increase in the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12. Further, the predetermined rotation speed Nerf can be a value slightly smaller than the warm-up rotation speed Net. The repetition frequency is the frequency of repeating the calculation of the ignition timing Tf. For example, in the case of a 4-cylinder engine, the frequency is every 180 degrees of the crank angle, and in the case of the 6-cylinder engine, the frequency is every 120 degrees of the crank angle. Become. The same applies to the following iterative processing.

When the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 reaches the predetermined rotation speed Neref or higher and reaches the warm-up rotation speed Neset (for example, 1300 rpm or 1500 rpm), the value obtained by adding the second rate value Trt2 from the ignition timing Tf is added to the new ignition timing Tf. (Step S130) is repeated until the difference between the ignition timing Tf and the base ignition timing Tfbase becomes equal to or less than the threshold value Tfref1. This process is a process in which the ignition timing Tf is set to the base ignition timing Tfbase while maintaining the warm-up rotation speed Neset of the engine 12 rotation speed Ne. The second rate value Trt2 is a value such that the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 can hold the warm-up rotation speed Net, and a value larger than the first rate value Trt1 can be used. As the threshold value Tfref1, a second rate value Trt2 or a value slightly smaller than this can be used. As described above, as the base ignition timing Tbase, the base ignition timing Tfb1 is used when the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected, and the base ignition timing Tfb2 is used when the compression stroke injection warm-up is selected.

If a positive determination is made in step S140, expansion stroke injection warm-up (or compression stroke injection warm-up) is started. In the expansion stroke injection warm-up, fuel is spray-likely injected from the in-cylinder injection valve 26 just before the crank angle of the target cylinder reaches the ignition timing Tf, and is ignited from the spark plug 30 when the ignition timing Tf is reached. NS. The calculation of the ignition timing Tf is started at BTDC 90 (Before TDC 90 degrees) or the like.

When the expansion stroke injection warm-up (or compression stroke injection warm-up) is started in this way, the feedback control of the ignition timing Tf based on the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is repeated until the warm-up end transition condition is satisfied (steps S150 to S190). ). The warm-up end transition condition includes a condition that the catalyst temperature Tc is equal to or higher than the activation temperature, a condition that the cooling water temperature Tw of the engine 12 is equal to or higher than the second predetermined temperature (for example, 70 degrees), and a predetermined amount of integrated intake air. It can be said that one or more of the above conditions, the accelerator-on condition, and the like are satisfied. The repetition frequency of the feedback control is the repetition frequency of the calculation of the ignition timing Tf as described above. In the feedback control, first, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is input (step S150), and the proportional term and the integral term are added to the difference (Ne-Net) between the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the warm-up rotation speed Net. The correction value Tk of the feedback according to the above is calculated (step S160), and the correction value Tk is guarded by the retard side guard value Tfgrd (step S170). The target rotation speed Ne * is a warm-up rotation speed Net (for example, 1300 rpm, 1500 rpm, etc.). As the retard side guard value Tfgrd, the retard side guard value Tfg1 is used when the expansion stroke injection warm-up is selected, and the retard side guard value Tfg2 is used when the compression stroke injection warm-up is selected. .. Then, the correction value Tk is added to the base ignition timing Tfbase to calculate the ignition timing Tf (step S180). For example, if the base ignition timing Tfbase is ATDC20 and the retard side guard value Tfgrd is 5 degrees, the ignition timing Tf is calculated within the range up to ATDC25.

When it is determined in step S190 that the warm-up end transition condition is satisfied, the ignition timing Tf performs a process (step S200) of calculating the value obtained by subtracting the third rate value Trt3 from the ignition timing Tf as a new ignition timing Tf. It is repeated until the end determination ignition timing Tfend is reached (step S210). That is, the ignition timing Tf advances relatively quickly so as to reach the end determination ignition timing Tref2 in a state where the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is held by the warm-up rotation speed Net. Since the third rate value Trt3 needs to be advanced relatively quickly, it is preferable to use a value larger than the second rate value Trt2. For the end determination ignition timing Tfend, for example, a value near TDC or TDC can be used. The feedback correction value Tk is cleared to a value of 0.

When the ignition timing Tf reaches the end determination ignition timing Tfend, the expansion stroke injection (or compression stroke injection) is terminated. Then, the process of calculating the value obtained by subtracting the fourth rate value Trt4 from the ignition timing Tf as a new ignition timing Tf (step S200) is performed with the ignition timing Tf and the target ignition timing Tf * set after the end of the rapid warm-up. Is repeated until the difference between the above and the threshold value is less than the threshold value Tref2 (step S230). That is, the ignition timing Tf is advanced so as to reach the target ignition timing Tf * by displacement in a state where the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is held by the warm-up rotation speed Net. Since the fourth rate value Trt4 needs to be advanced by deflection, a value smaller than the third rate value Trt3 is used.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a time change of the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the ignition timing Tf during rapid warm-up. In the ignition timing Tf of FIG. 3, the lower side is shown as the retard side and the upper side is shown as the advance side. At the time T1 when the execution condition of the rapid warm-up is satisfied, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is increased to the warm-up rotation speed Net, and at the same time, the ignition timing Tf is retarded by the rate processing using the first rate value Trt1. To start. In the time T2 at which the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 reaches the warm-up speed Net, the ignition timing Tf is the rate using the second rate value Trt2 while the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is held by the warm-up speed Net. Start the process of retarding the process relatively quickly. From the time T3 when the ignition timing Tf is retarded to the base ignition timing Tfbase to the time T4 when the warm-up end transition condition is satisfied, the feedback control of the ignition timing Tf based on the engine speed Ne is performed. At the time T4 when the warm-up end transition condition is satisfied, the ignition timing Tf is advanced relatively quickly by rate processing using the third rate value Trt3 while holding the engine 12 rotation speed Ne at the warm-up rotation speed Net. Start the process. Then, at the time T5 when the ignition timing Tf reaches the end determination ignition timing Tref2, the expansion stroke injection (or compression stroke injection) is terminated, and the ignition timing Tf is deflected by rate processing using the fourth rate value Trt4. The process of setting the target ignition timing Tf * set after the end of the rapid warm-up is started. At this time, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is adjusted to be the target rotation speed Ne * set after the end of the rapid warm-up. In FIG. 3, assuming a case where the purification device 34 is completed when the warm-up is completed, the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 is set to the idle speed. The rapid warm-up is completely completed at the time T6 when the ignition timing Tf reaches the target ignition timing Tf *, and the normal ignition timing Tf for outputting the torque according to the accelerator opening from the engine 12 is obtained.

In the engine device 10 of the above-described embodiment, after the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 reaches the warm-up speed Net, it can be obtained by using the difference between the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 and the warm-up speed Net. The feedback correction value Tk is added to the base ignition timing Tfbase to calculate the ignition timing Tf. As a result, it is possible to maintain the retarded state of the ignition timing Tf while stabilizing the rotation speed Ne of the engine 12 even when the expansion stroke injection warm-up is performed. Further, since the ignition timing Tf can be retarded from the base ignition timing Tfbase, the purification device 34 can be warmed up more quickly. Moreover, since the guard is guarded by the retard side guard value Tfgrd, it is possible to prevent the ignition timing Tf from being retarded more than necessary.

Further, in the engine device 10 of the embodiment, when the expansion stroke injection warm-up is terminated, the ignition timing Tf is changed relatively quickly so as to reach the end determination ignition timing Tfend, and then the ignition timing Tf is relatively slowly changed. And change so that the target ignition timing Tf * is set after the end of rapid warm-up. As a result, the expansion stroke injection warm-up can be smoothly completed, and the sudden change in the ignition timing Tf when the ignition timing Tf is set to the target ignition timing Tf * after the end of the rapid warm-up can be suppressed.

The engine device 10 of the embodiment may be mounted on a vehicle having an automatic transmission in the rear stage, or may be mounted on a hybrid vehicle together with a motor that outputs power for traveling.
