In some cases, the number of times of switching in the second switch means that is controlled when applying the voltage increases. When the number of times of switching increases in this way, the switching loss in the second switch means increases and the heat generated by the second switch means increases. Further, instead of the second switch means, the first switch means connected to the low potential side of the solenoid valve can be controlled to be switched and the constant current control can be performed even if the second switch means is turned on. When the number of times of switching of the first switch means is increased, the switching loss in the first switch means increases and the heat generated by the first switch means increases.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetic valve drive device for a fuel injection control device that can suppress heat generation of switch means controlled during constant current control. It is to provide.

In order to achieve the above object, an electromagnetic valve driving device for a fuel injection control device according to claim 1 of the claims is directed to a power supply voltage (VB) of a DC power supply (B) with respect to the electromagnetic valves (11, 12). ) Is generated and applied, and then the constant current control is performed to drive the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve drive device for a fuel injection control device (20, 20a), wherein the high voltage is A capacitor (C) that can be applied to the solenoid valve; a charging means (25) for generating the high voltage from the DC power supply to charge the capacitor; and the solenoid valve connected to the low potential side of the solenoid valve The first switch means (22a, 22b) controlled during the constant current control, and the second switch connected to the high potential side of the solenoid valve and controlled during the constant current control with respect to the solenoid valve Means (23, 24) and said first Control means (21) capable of controlling the switch means and the second switch means, and the control means switches the second switch means at the first operating rate (Da) during the constant current control. And controlling the first switch means to be ON, controlling the first switch means to be switched at a second operating rate (Db) and controlling the second switch means to be ON .

The first operating rate and the second operating rate are set so as to reduce the difference from the heat generation of the second switching unit that changes at the same time, and the first switching unit and the second switching unit are It is characterized by controlling.

A second aspect of the present invention, an electromagnetic valve actuating device for a fuel injection control device according to claim 1, wherein the steady loss, depending on the resulting properties and the power supply voltage to the inductance component and the resistance component of the solenoid valve A correction means (21) for correction is provided.

The invention of claim 3 is to generate and apply a higher voltage than the power supply voltage (VB) of the DC power supply (B) to the solenoid valve (11, 12), and then perform constant current control. An electromagnetic valve driving device (20, 20a) for a fuel injection control device for driving the electromagnetic valve, wherein the high voltage is generated from a capacitor (C) capable of applying the high voltage to the electromagnetic valve and the DC power source. Charging means (25) for charging the capacitor; and first switch means (22a, 22b) connected to the low potential side of the solenoid valve and controlled during the constant current control with respect to the solenoid valve; The second switch means (23, 24) connected to the high potential side of the solenoid valve and controlled for the solenoid valve during the constant current control, the first switch means and the second switch means can be controlled. Control means (21), For example, a plurality of solenoid valves driven, the first switch means is connected respectively to the low potential side with respect to the plurality of solenoid valves, said second switch means, said plurality of solenoid valves The control means switches the second switch means at a first operating rate during the constant current control for the solenoid valve to be driven among the plurality of solenoid valves. Controlling the first switch means on the low potential side of the solenoid valve to be driven, controlling the first switch means at the second operating rate, and turning on the second switch means , and Depending on the steady loss (LON-L) at the time of on-control in the first switch means and the switching loss (LSW-L) at one on / off and the second operating rate Heat generation of each of the first switch means, the steady loss (LON-C) at the time of on-control in the second switch means, and the switching loss (LSW-C) at one on / off time, and the first The first operating rate and the second operating rate are set so as to reduce the difference from the heat generation of the second switching means that changes according to the operating rate of 1, and the first switch means And controlling the second switch means.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the electromagnetic valve driving device for a fuel injection control apparatus according to the third aspect , the steady loss is determined according to a characteristic caused by an inductance component and a resistance component of the electromagnetic valve and the power supply voltage. A correction means (21) for correction is provided.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the electromagnetic valve driving device for a fuel injection control device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the second switch means applies the high voltage during the constant current control. The switch means (24) controlled when the power supply voltage is applied, and the switch means (23) controlled when the power supply voltage is applied.
In addition, the code | symbol in each said bracket | parenthesis shows the corresponding relationship with the specific means as described in each embodiment mentioned later.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, the control means performs switching control of the second switch means at the first operating rate and on-control of the first switch means at constant current control for the solenoid valve, and at the second operating rate. The first switch means is switched and the second switch means is turned on.

As a result, the second switch means is controlled to be switched on and the first switch means is turned on in all periods during the constant current control for the solenoid valve, and the first switch means is controlled to be switched and the second switch means is turned on. Compared with the case where it does, the maximum frequency | count of switching of a 1st switch means or a 2nd switch means can be reduced. Specifically, for example, conventionally, even when the second switch means is switched (turned on / off) nine times when the first switch means is in the on state, the second operating rate is achieved according to the present invention. By switching the first switch means 5 times and switching the second switch means 5 times at the first operating rate, the maximum number of switching times can be reduced from 9 times to 5 times.
Therefore, an increase in switching loss is suppressed by reducing the maximum number of times of switching, and heat generation of the first switch means and the second switch means controlled during constant current control can be suppressed.

In particular , the control means includes a steady loss at the time of on-control in the first switch means, a switching loss at one on / off time, and the heat generation of the first switch means that changes according to the second operating rate, In order to reduce the difference between the steady loss at the time of on-control in the two-switch means and the switching loss at one on / off and the heat generation of the second switch means that changes according to the first operating rate. An operating rate of 1 and a second operating rate are set to control the first switch means and the second switch means.

  Since the total switching loss over the switching period is determined from the switching loss at one on / off and the first operating rate and the second operating rate, the first switching means is calculated from the steady loss and the total switching loss. A formula for obtaining the heat generation of one switch means is established, and a formula for obtaining the heat generation of the second switch means is established from the steady loss and the total switching loss of the second switch means. By setting the first operating rate and the second operating rate so as to reduce the difference between the two mathematical expressions established in this way, that is, to reduce the difference in heat generation between the two switch units, Since the heat generation state is estimated with high accuracy so as to consider each loss and the both periods are set, heat generation of the switch means can be reliably suppressed.

In the invention of claim 2, the steady loss used in the above equation is corrected by the correcting means in accordance with the characteristics and the power supply voltage caused by the inductance component and the resistance component of the electromagnetic valve. Since the steady loss varies depending on the characteristics (hereinafter referred to as injector characteristics) caused by the inductance component and resistance component of the solenoid valve and the power supply voltage, the steady loss is corrected according to the injector characteristics and the power supply voltage. Since the heat generation states of both switch means are estimated with high accuracy and the two periods are set, the heat generation of both switch means can be reliably suppressed.

In the invention of claim 3 , the control means controls the switching of the second switch means at the first operating rate and controls the low potential of the solenoid valve to be driven at the time of constant current control for the solenoid valve to be driven among the plurality of solenoid valves. The first switch means on the side is turned on, the first switch means is controlled to be switched at the second operating rate, and the second switch means is turned on.

As a result, the second switch means is controlled to be switched and the first switch means is turned on in all periods during the constant current control for the solenoid valve to be driven, and the first switch means is switched and the second switch is controlled. The maximum number of switching times of the first switch means or the second switch means can be reduced as compared with the case where the means is on-controlled.
Therefore, even if a plurality of solenoid valves are to be driven, an increase in switching loss is suppressed by reducing the maximum number of times of switching, and heat generation of each first switch means and second switch means controlled during constant current control is suppressed. Can be suppressed.

In particular , the control means generates heat generated by each of the first switch means that changes in accordance with the steady loss at the time of on-control in the first switch means, the switching loss at one on / off, and the second operating rate. And the difference between the steady loss at the time of ON control in the second switch means and the switching loss at one ON / OFF and the heat generation of the second switch means that changes according to the first operating rate. In addition, the first operating rate and the second operating rate are set to control each of the first switch means and the second switch means.

Similarly to the first aspect of the invention, since the switching loss at one on / off and the total operating loss through the switching period are obtained from the first operating rate and the second operating rate, each first switch A formula for obtaining the average value of the heat generation of each first switch means is established from the steady loss and the total switching loss of the means, and a formula for obtaining the heat generation of the second switch means from the steady loss and the total switching loss of the second switch means. To establish. By setting the first operating rate and the second operating rate so that the difference between the two mathematical expressions established in this way is small, that is, the difference in heat generation of each switch unit is small, Since the heat generation state is estimated with high accuracy so as to consider each loss and the both periods are set, the heat generation of each switch means can be reliably suppressed.

In the invention of claim 4, the steady loss used in the above mathematical formula is corrected by the correcting means in accordance with the characteristics and the power supply voltage caused by the inductance component and resistance component of each solenoid valve. The steady loss fluctuates according to the injector characteristics and power supply voltage caused by the inductance component and resistance component of the solenoid valve. Therefore, by correcting the steady loss according to these injector characteristics and power supply voltage, the heat generated by each switch means Since the state is estimated with high accuracy and the both periods are set, heat generation of the switch means can be reliably suppressed.

In the invention 請 Motomeko 5, constituting the second switching means, during the constant current control, and a switch means controlled during the application of the high voltage, the switch means being controlled when the supply voltage is applied to Is done. As a result, even when constant current control is performed by switching control of either one of the two switch means constituting the second switch means at the first operating rate, the maximum number of switching is reduced and the increase in switching loss is suppressed. Can do. Further, when one of the two switch means constituting the second switch means is controlled to be switched off during constant current control and the other is turned off, and then the other switch is controlled to be switched and one of the switch means is turned off. Even when switching control is performed in accordance with the operating rate of 1, the maximum number of switching operations is reduced, and an increase in switching loss can be suppressed. Even in this case, heat generation of the first switch means and the second switch means controlled during the constant current control can be suppressed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a fuel injection control device 10 employing a solenoid valve drive device 20 according to the first embodiment.

The fuel is injected by moving to the valve opening position and maintaining the valve open state. Further, when the energization of the coils 11a and 12a is interrupted, the valve body returns to the original closed position, and fuel injection is stopped. These electromagnetic valves 11 and 12 are driven and controlled by the electromagnetic valve driving device 20 so that they are not simultaneously opened.

  The solenoid valve driving device 20 has, as output terminals, an output terminal P1 to which the high potential side (high side) of the coil 11a of the solenoid valve 11 is connected, and an output terminal P2 to which the low potential side (low side) of the coil 11a is connected. And an output terminal P3 to which the high potential side of the coil 12a of the solenoid valve 12 is connected, and an output terminal P4 to which the low potential side of the coil 12a is connected. The electromagnetic valve driving device 20 is used for driving the electromagnetic valve 11 provided in series between the other end of the current detection resistor R1 whose one end is connected to the ground line (GND = 0V) and the output terminal P2.

DCDC converter 25 that charges capacitor C by supplying to capacitor C, diode D3 having an anode connected to the ground line and cathodes connected to output terminals P1 and P3, and switches 22a, 22b, 23, and 24 And a control circuit 21 composed of a microcomputer or the like for controlling the DCDC converter 25.

  The switches 22a and 22b are switches having the same configuration and correspond to an example of “first switch means” recited in the claims. The switches 23 and 24 may correspond to an example of “second switch means” recited in the claims. Further, the control circuit 21 may correspond to an example of “control means” recited in the claims, and the DCDC converter 25 may correspond to an example of “charging means” recited in the claims.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the capacitor C is connected in parallel to the power supply path from the DC power supply B to the coils 11a and 12a. Further, an energy recovery path for recovering flyback energy from the coil 11a to the capacitor C is provided between the output terminal P2 and the positive electrode side of the capacitor C. On the energy recovery path, A diode D4a for current direction control is provided with the cathode on the capacitor C side. Similarly, an energy recovery path for recovering flyback energy from the coil 12a to the capacitor C is provided between the output terminal P4 and the positive electrode side of the capacitor C, and on this energy recovery path. Is provided with a diode D4b for current direction control with the cathode as the capacitor C side.

  On the other hand, the DCDC converter 25 includes an inductor 25a and a switch 25b provided in series between the DC power supply B and the ground line. When the switch 25b is turned on / off, energy stored in the inductor 25a is transferred. It is a well-known one that charges the capacitor C through the diode D2. Note that the switch 25b and the switches 22a, 22b, 23, and 24 described above are switching elements such as MOSFETs, for example.

Next, the solenoid valve drive control process performed by the control circuit 21 of the solenoid valve drive device 20 configured as described above will be described below.
In the electromagnetic valve drive control process according to the present embodiment, the switches 22a and 22b and the switch 23 are subjected to switching control at a predetermined operation rate in the pickup period Tp and the hold period Th. The electromagnetic valve drive control process in which each switch is controlled to be switched in this way will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the flow of electromagnetic valve drive control processing performed by the control circuit 21. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a control state at the time of valve opening in the electromagnetic valve drive control process of the first embodiment, and FIG. 3 (A) shows an injector current value Ia flowing through the electromagnetic valve 11, and FIG. (B) shows the switching control state of the switch 23, FIG. 3 (C) shows the switching control state of the switch 22a, and FIG. 3 (D) shows the control state of the switch 24.

  When the solenoid valve drive control process is started by the control circuit 21, first, the coil 11a of the solenoid valve 11 and the coil 12a of the solenoid valve 12 should be energized based on engine operation information such as the engine speed and the accelerator opening. A driving period is set for each. Further, the control circuit 21 operates the DCDC converter 25 to charge the capacitor C until the charging voltage (positive voltage) of the capacitor reaches the target voltage before the driving period starts.

  Then, the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101 of FIG. 2 is performed. In this process, the switching operation rate Da of the switch 23 and the switching operation rate Db (= 1−Da) of the switches 22a and 22b in the pickup period Tp and the hold period Th when driving the solenoid valves 11 and 12 are controlled. It is set so as to reduce the difference in heat generated by the switches 22a, 22b, and 23. The switching operation rate Da corresponds to an example of a “first operation rate” described in the claims, and the switching operation rate Db is an example of a “second operation rate” described in the claims. Can correspond to

  As a concrete setting method, the heat generation of the switch 23 connected to the high potential side (high side) of the solenoid valves 11 and 12 is expressed by the mathematical expression shown on the left side of the following formula (1), and the low pressure of the solenoid valves 11 and 12. Switching so that the heat generation of the switches 22a and 22b connected to the potential side (low side) is equal to the mathematical expression shown on the right side of the following formula (1), that is, the two heat generations obtained from both mathematical expressions are equal. The operating rates Da and Db are set. Note that the switching operation rates Da and Db are not limited to setting the switching heat generation rates Da and Db so that the two heat generations obtained from both equations are equal to each other, but the switching operation rates Da and Db are so set that the difference between the two heat generations obtained from both equations is reduced. May be set.

Here, n _c is the number of switches connected to the high potential side (high side), in the present embodiment, since the switch 23 is adopted, is set to 1. Further, L _ON-C is a steady loss when the switch 23 is on, and L _SW-C is a switching loss when the switch 23 is turned on / off once. R _th-C is the thermal resistance of the switch 23.

N _L is the number of switches connected to the low potential side (low side), and is set to 2 in this embodiment because the switches 22a and 22b are employed. L _ON-L is a steady loss when the switches 22a and 22b are turned on, and L _SW-L is a switching loss when the switches 22a and 22b are turned on / off once. Further, _LR-L is a loss during the recirculation of the switches 22a and 22b with one on / off. R _th-L is the thermal resistance of the switches 22a and 22b.

Here, the switching loss L _SW-C when the switch 23 is turned on / off once will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the switching loss.
Assuming that the drain-source voltage of the switch 23 is V2 and the drain current is I2, when the switch 23 is turned on from off, the drain current I2 is reduced before the drain-source voltage V2 becomes 0V as shown in FIG. Therefore, a loss corresponding to the product of the current and voltage occurs. Further, when the switch 23 is turned from on to off, as shown in FIG. 4, the drain-source voltage V2 increases before the drain current I2 becomes 0A, so that a loss corresponding to the product of this current and voltage occurs. To do. That is, the hatched area shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to the switching loss L _SW-C including both the losses.

Next, taking as an example the case where the solenoid valve 11 is a driving target, the steady loss L _ON-C when the switch 23 is turned on, the steady loss L _ON-L when the switch 22a is turned on, and the one time in the switch 22a The relationship with the loss _LR-L during on / off reflux will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a relationship between the steady losses L _ON-C and L _ON-L and the loss L _R-L in the reflux, and FIG. 5 (A) shows the injector current Ia, and FIG. FIG. 5B shows the switching control state of the switch 23, and FIG. 5C shows the switching control state of the switch 22a.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the switch 23 is turned on while the switch 22a is turned on, the injector current Ia flowing through the coil 11a increases. With such the switches 22a, 23 is on, the steady loss _{L ON-C} occurs switch 23, the steady loss _{L ON-L} occurs in the switch 22a. When the switch 23 is switched from on to off from this state, the injector current Ia decreases. In this way, when the switch 23 is off and the switch 22a is on, a loss L _R-L during circulation occurs in the switch 22a. When the switch 23 from this state is turned on from off again, the injector current Ia increases, the steady loss _{L ON-C} occurs switch 23, the steady loss _{L ON-L} occurs in the switch 22a. When the switch 22a is switched from OFF to ON from this state, the injector current Ia decreases. In this case, no steady loss occurs.

Thus, since the total switching loss over the switching period is obtained from the switching loss L _SW-C , L _SW-L and the switching operation rate Da, Db at one on / off, the steady loss of the switch 23 and the left-hand side is satisfied for L _ON-C and total switching loss _{L SW-C} · Da and the formulas determine the heat generation of the thermal resistance _{R th-C} and the switch 23 and a number _{n c} (1), the switch 22a, 22b of the The heat generation of the switches 22a and 22b is obtained from the steady loss L _ON-L , the loss L _R-L · Da in the circulation, the total switching loss L _SW-L · Db, the thermal resistance R _th-L and the number n _L The right side of Formula (1) is materialized. Then, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set so that both sides thus established are equal, that is, the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 is equal.

  When the switching operation rates Da and Db are set in this way, it is determined whether or not it is the valve opening timing of the electromagnetic valve 11 in the determination process shown in step S103, and when the valve opening timing of the electromagnetic valve 11 is reached (in S103) Yes) In the process shown in step S105, the switch 22a and the switch 24 are controlled to be in the ON state. Thus, when the positive side of the capacitor C is connected to the output terminal P1 via the switch 24, the energy charged in the capacitor C is released to the coil 11a, and the high voltage of the capacitor C is applied to the coil 11a. . At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 (A), the coil 11a has a large current for quickly shifting the solenoid valve 11 to the valve-opened state as the injector current Ia by discharging the capacitor C, that is, The peak current flows, and the valve opening response of the solenoid valve 11 is accelerated. The injector current Ia is detected by the voltage generated in the current detection resistor R1 when the switches 22a and 22b are on, and is detected by the voltage generated in the current detection resistor R2 when the switches 22a and 22b are off.

  When the capacitor C is discharged, the wraparound from the output terminal P1 side to the power supply line side, which becomes a high potential, is prevented by the diode D1. Furthermore, even if the switch 22a is turned on, the diode D4a prevents the current from flowing directly from the positive side of the capacitor C to the switch 22a via the energy recovery path.

  Then, in the determination process shown in step S107, it is determined whether or not the injector current Ia is equal to or higher than the peak current target value Ia1, and when the injector current Ia becomes equal to or higher than the peak current target value Ia1 (Yes in S107). ), The switch 24 is controlled to be in the OFF state in the process shown in step S109.

  Subsequently, in step S111, constant current control processing is performed. In this process, based on the switching operation rates Da and Db set as described above, the injector current Ia is maintained within a predetermined current value range as a pickup current in the pickup period Tp, and then in the hold period Th. The switch 22a and the switch 23 are controlled to be switched so that the hold current is maintained within a current value range lower than the pickup current (see FIG. 3A) (see FIGS. 3B and 3C). ). Note that when the injector current Ia reaches the first upper limit value IU1, either the switch 22a or the switch 23 is turned from on to off, and when the injector current Ia reaches the first lower limit value IL1, the pickup current is By controlling one of the switches 23 from OFF to ON, it is maintained within the current value range. Further, the hold current is switched from ON to OFF when the injector current Ia reaches the second upper limit value IU2, and when the injector current Ia reaches the second lower limit value IL2, the switch 22a and By controlling one of the switches 23 from OFF to ON, it is maintained within the current value range. In response to such switching control, the valve body is pulled up to the valve opening position by the pickup current, and the electromagnetic valve 11 is held in the valve open state by the hold current.

  When the drive period set in the state where the injector current Ia flowing through the coil 11a of the electromagnetic valve 11 is maintained at the hold current as described above (Yes in S113), the switch 22a and the switch are switched in the process shown in Step S115. Both are controlled in the off state. Thereby, energization to the coil 11a is stopped, the solenoid valve 11 is closed, and fuel injection by the solenoid valve 11 is ended.

  When the switch 22a and the switch 23 are turned off, flyback energy is generated in the coil 11a. The flyback energy is recovered from the output terminal P2 of the coil 11a to the capacitor C through the energy recovery diode D4a. .

  Further, the control circuit 21 performs switching control of the switch 25b in order to resume charging of the capacitor C by the DCDC converter 25 while the switch 24 is turned off and the switches 22a and 23 are controlled to be switched. This is to prepare for the next solenoid valve drive. The control circuit 21 prohibits the charging operation of the capacitor C by the DCDC converter 25 while the switch 24 is on.

  Then, when the opening timing of the solenoid valve 12 comes after the solenoid valve 11 is closed (Yes in S117), the switch 22b and the switch 24 are controlled to be turned on in the process shown in step S119. Thus, when the positive side of the capacitor C is connected to the output terminal P3 via the switch 24, the energy charged in the capacitor C is released to the coil 12a, and the high voltage of the capacitor C is applied to the coil 12a. . At this time, a peak current that causes the solenoid valve 11 to quickly shift to the valve opening state flows through the coil 12a as the injector current Ib flowing through the coil 12a due to the discharge of the capacitor C, and the valve opening response of the solenoid valve 12 Will be accelerated.

  When the capacitor C is discharged, the wraparound from the output terminal P3 side to the power supply line side, which becomes a high potential, is prevented by the diode D1. Furthermore, even if the switch 22b is turned on, the diode D4b prevents the current from flowing directly from the positive electrode side of the capacitor C to the switch 22b via the energy recovery path.

  In the determination process shown in step S121, it is determined whether or not the injector current Ib is equal to or greater than the peak current target value Ib1, and when the injector current Ib is equal to or greater than the peak current target value Ib1 (Yes in S121). ) In the process shown in step S123, the switch 24 is controlled to be turned off.

  Subsequently, constant current control processing is performed in step S125. In this process, based on the switching operation rates Da and Db set as described above, the injector current Ib is maintained within a predetermined current value range as a pickup current in the pickup period Tp, and then in the hold period Th. Thus, the switch 22b and the switch 23 are subjected to switching control so that the hold current is maintained within a current value range lower than the pickup current. In response to such switching control, the valve body is pulled up to the valve opening position by the pickup current, and the electromagnetic valve 12 is held in the valve opening state by the hold current.

  When the drive period set in the state where the injector current Ib flowing through the coil 12a of the solenoid valve 12 is maintained at the hold current as described above (Yes in S127), the switch 22b and the switch are switched in the process shown in Step S129. Both are controlled in the off state. Thereby, energization to the coil 12a is stopped, the electromagnetic valve 12 is closed, and fuel injection by the electromagnetic valve 12 is ended.

  When the switch 22b and the switch 23 are turned off, flyback energy is generated in the coil 12a. The flyback energy is recovered from the output terminal P4 of the coil 12a to the capacitor C through the energy recovery diode D4b. .

  As described above, in the solenoid valve drive device 20 according to the present embodiment, the control circuit 21 performs the switching control of the switch 23 with the switching operation rate Da and the switch 22a or the control circuit 21 during the constant current control for the solenoid valves 11 and 12. The switch 22b is on-controlled, the switch 22a or the switch 22b is switching-controlled with the switching operation rate Db, and the switch 23 is on-controlled.

  As a result, the switch 23 is controlled to be switched and the switch 22a or the switch 22b is turned on in all periods during the constant current control for the solenoid valves 11 and 12, and the switch 22a or the switch 22b is switched and the switch 23 is turned on. Compared with the case of controlling, the maximum number of times of switching of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 can be reduced.

FIG. 6 is a timing chart showing control states of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 in the pickup period Tp and the hold period Th, and FIGS. 6A to 6C show the switches 23, 22a, and 22b according to the present invention. 6 (D) to 6 (F) show the control states of the switches 23, 22a, and 22b according to the prior art.
Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 6A to 6C, in the control state according to the present invention, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set and controlled as described above, so that the solenoid valve When driving 11 and 12, for example, each switch 23 is switched (ON / OFF) 10 times, the switch 22a is switched 5 times, and the switch 22b is switched 5 times. On the other hand, as illustrated in FIGS. 6D to 6F, in the control state according to the prior art, when the electromagnetic valves 11 and 12 are driven, for example, each switch 23 is switched 18 times, and the switch 22a is Switching is performed once, and the switch 22b is switched once.

  Thus, conventionally, even if the switch 23 is switched 18 times when the switches 22a and 22b are in the ON state, the switch 22a and 22b is switched 5 times at the switching operation rate Db according to the present invention. By switching the switch 23 10 times at the operating rate Da, the maximum number of times of switching can be reduced from 18 times to 10 times.

Therefore, an increase in switching loss is suppressed by reducing the maximum number of times of switching, and heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 controlled during constant current control can be suppressed.
As described above, since the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 is dispersed, the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 are not only easily cooled but also heat resistant as compared with the case where only one of the switches generates high heat. Since it is not necessary to employ a highly functional switch, the cost of the solenoid valve drive device 20 can be reduced.

  The control circuit 21 controls the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 by setting the switching operation rates Da and Db so as to reduce the difference in heat generated in the switches 22a, 22b, and 23. Thus, by setting the switching operation rates Da and Db and controlling the switches 22a, 22b, and 23, the difference in heat generated in each switch 22a, 22b, and 23 is reduced, so that one switch is the other switch. As compared with the case where the heat generation is higher than that, the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 can be effectively suppressed.

In particular, the control circuit 21 varies according to the steady loss L _ON-L at the time of on-control in the switches 22a and 22b, the switching loss L _SW-L at one on / off, the switching operation rate Db, and the like. Changes according to the respective heat generation of the switches 22a and 22b, the steady loss L _ON-C at the time of ON control in the switch 23, the switching loss L _SW-C at one ON / OFF, the switching operation rate Da, and the like. The switching operation rates Da and Db are set based on the above formula (1) so as to reduce the difference from the heat generation of the switch 23, and the switches 22a, 22b and 23 are controlled. As a result, the heat generation state of each switch 22a, 22b, 23 is estimated with high accuracy so as to consider each loss, and the switching operation rate Da, Db is set. Therefore, the heat generation of each switch 22a, 22b, 23 Can be reliably suppressed.

  In the electromagnetic valve drive control process described above, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set immediately before the electromagnetic valves 11 and 12 are driven. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the switching operation rate during the operation of the electromagnetic valves 11 and 12 is set. Da and Db may be set, and the switching operation rates Da and Db set in this way may be applied when the solenoid valves 11 and 12 are driven next time. Further, the switching operation rate Da, Db is not set for each drive of the solenoid valves 11, 12, but in order to reduce the processing load, the switching operation rate is once every time the solenoid valves 11, 12 are driven a plurality of times. Da and Db may be set.

As a modification of the first embodiment, in the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101, the steady loss L _ON-C and the steady loss L _ON-L are converted into the inductance component of the power supply voltage VB and the solenoid valves 11 and 12, and Correction is made according to the characteristic caused by the resistance component (hereinafter referred to as the injector characteristic L), and the loss _LR-L during the circulation is determined according to the injector characteristic L caused by the inductance component and the resistance component of the solenoid valves 11 and 12. The switching operation rates Da and Db may be set in a corrected state.

Specifically, the steady losses L _ON-C and L _ON-L vary according to the injector characteristics L and the power supply voltage VB caused by the inductance component and the resistance component of the solenoid valve, and the loss L _R− during _{recirculation. L} varies according to the injector characteristic L. Therefore, each switch is corrected by correcting the steady losses L _ON-C and L _ON-L according to the injector characteristics L and the power supply voltage VB and correcting the loss _LR-L during recirculation according to the injector characteristics L. Since the heat generation states of 22a, 22b, and 23 are estimated with high accuracy and the switching operation rates Da and Db are set, the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 can be reliably suppressed. The control circuit 21 that corrects the steady losses L _ON-C and L _{ON-L according} to the injector characteristics L and the power supply voltage VB can correspond to an example of “correction means” recited in the claims.

Here, since the injector characteristic L corresponds to a series circuit of an inductance component and a resistance component, the relationship of the following formula (2) is established between the injector characteristic L, the power supply voltage V, and the injector current i.
V = L · di / dt (2)
For this reason, the injector characteristic L can be calculated from the gradient di / dt of the injector current i and the power supply voltage V. Then, according to the above equation (2), the steady loss time dt can be determined based on the injector characteristics L, the power supply voltage V, and the ripple current di of the constant current. Therefore, from di / dt and the on-resistance R of the switch, The steady loss L _ON can be obtained from the following equation (3).
L _ON = R · i ² (3)

In addition, the thermal resistance R _{th-C of} the switch 23 and the thermal resistance R _th-L of the switches 22a and 22b may vary depending on the model of the solenoid valve driving device. For example, the ambient temperature condition is changed. The thermal resistance R _th-C at each operating condition obtained in advance by performing an operation test for switching control of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 for a predetermined period of time under operating conditions that cause a thermal problem. The switching operation rates Da and Db may be set using the R _th-L map. As a result, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set in a state where the accuracy of the thermal resistances R _th-C and R _th-L is improved, so that the heat generation of the respective switches 22a, 22b, and 23 is surely suppressed. Can do.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a solenoid valve driving apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the electromagnetic valve drive device 20 according to the second embodiment, the first heat generation state and the second heat generation that are measured and stored in advance in the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101 with respect to the first embodiment. Based on the state, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set so as to reduce the difference between the heat generated in the switches 22a and 22b and the heat generated in the switch 23, respectively.

  Specifically, for example, an operation test is performed in which the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 are subjected to switching control for a predetermined period under operating conditions that cause a thermal problem such as changing ambient temperature conditions. The temperature states of 22a and 22b and the temperature state of the switch 23 are stored in advance in a memory or the like of the control circuit 21 as a map for each operation condition indicating the first heat generation state and the second heat generation state. Then, in the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101, the heat generated in the switches 22a and 22b and the heat generated in the switch 23 based on the first heat generation state and the second heat generation state stored in advance as described above. Switching operation rates Da and Db are set so as to reduce the difference, and the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 are subjected to switching control by the constant current control process.

  As described above, since the first heat generation state of the switches 22a and 22b and the second heat generation state of the switch 23 when the switching control is performed for a predetermined period are measured in advance, each switch from the first heat generation state and the second heat generation state is measured. The ratio of the switching period that reduces the difference in heat generation between 22a, 22b, and 23, that is, the switching operation rates Da and Db can be obtained. In this way, since the switching operation rates Da and Db are set based on the actually measured first heat generation state and second heat generation state, the difference in heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 becomes smaller. Heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 can be reliably suppressed.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, an electromagnetic valve driving device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the solenoid valve drive device 20 according to the third embodiment, the switches 22a and 22b obtained from the measured temperatures of the switches 22a and 22b in the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101 with respect to the first embodiment. The switching operation rates Da and Db are respectively set so as to reduce the difference between the heat generation of the switch 23 and the heat generation of the switch 23 obtained from the actually measured temperature of the switch 23.

  In the present embodiment, MOSFETs with built-in temperature sensitive diodes (temperature sensors) are employed as the switches 22a, 22b, and 23, and a temperature signal corresponding to a change in the VF of the temperature sensitive diode that is generated when the temperature changes. , And is input to the control circuit 21. Thereby, the control circuit 21 detects the temperatures of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 in real time. In the switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101, the temperature difference between the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 is reduced, that is, the difference between the heat generated by the switches 22a and 22b and the heat generated by the switch 23 is reduced. As described above, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set, and the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 are subjected to switching control by the constant current control process.

  As a result, the switching operation rates Da and Db are set based on the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 obtained from the temperatures measured each time the solenoid valves 11 and 12 are opened, and the switches 22a, 22b, and 23 are set. Since the switching operation rates Da and Db corresponding to the heat generation states of the switches 22a, 22b and 23 are set in real time without requiring a prior test or the like, the switches 22a and 22b are controlled in real time. , 23 becomes smaller, and the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, 23 can be reliably suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, each of the switches 22a and 22b corresponds to an example combining the “first switch means” and the “first temperature detection means” recited in the claims, and the switch 23 is This can correspond to an example in which the “second switch means” and the “second temperature detection means” described in the range are combined. In addition, the temperature of each switch 22a, 22b, 23 is not limited to being detected by adopting a switch with a built-in temperature sensitive diode. For example, the temperature is detected using other temperature detecting means such as an external temperature sensor. May be.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, a solenoid valve driving apparatus according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a control state at the time of valve opening in the electromagnetic valve drive control process of the fourth embodiment, and FIG. 7A shows an injector current value Ia flowing through the electromagnetic valve 11, and FIG. (B) shows the switching control state of the switch 23, FIG. 7 (C) shows the switching control state of the switch 22a, and FIG. 7 (D) shows the control state of the switch 24.

  The solenoid valve drive device 20 according to the fourth embodiment performs constant current control using switching control of the switch 24. That is, in the electromagnetic valve drive device 20 according to the present embodiment, after the switch 24 is turned off after the on control and the switch 23 is switched as in the first embodiment, the switch 23 is switched as shown in FIG. The switch 24 is subjected to switching control in a state in which is turned off. Even in this case, the increase in switching loss is suppressed by reducing the maximum number of times of switching of each switch 22a, 22b, 23, 24, and heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, 23, 24 controlled at the time of constant current control is suppressed. Can be suppressed.

  In particular, in the switching operation rate setting process, the switching operation rates of the switches 22a, 22b, 23, and 24 are set so as to reduce the difference in heat generated in the switches 22a, 22b, 23, and 24 as described above. By setting, the difference in heat generated in each switch 22a, 22b, 23, 24 is reduced, and each switch 22a, 22b, 23 is compared with the case where one switch generates higher heat than the other switches. , 24 can be effectively suppressed. By adopting the same switching element for the switch 23 and the switch 24, the switching operation rate Da of both the switches 23 and 24 can be set using the above formula (1).

  In the fourth embodiment, as in the second embodiment, the difference in heat generated in each switch 22a, 22b, 23, 24 is reduced based on each heat generation state measured and stored in advance. In addition, each switching operation rate may be set. Further, in the fourth embodiment, as in the third embodiment, the difference in heat generation of each switch 22a, 22b, 23, 24 obtained from the actually measured temperature of each switch 22a, 22b, 23, 24 is reduced. As described above, each switching operation rate may be set.

[Fifth Embodiment]
Next, a solenoid valve driving device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the fuel injection control device 10 employing the electromagnetic valve drive device 20a according to the fifth embodiment. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a control state at the time of valve opening in the electromagnetic valve drive control process of the fifth embodiment, and FIG. 9A shows an injector current value Ia flowing through the electromagnetic valve 11, and FIG. (B) shows the switching control state of the switch 22a, and FIG. 9 (C) shows the control state of the switch 24.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the solenoid valve drive device 20a according to the fifth embodiment is configured to eliminate the switch 23 and the diode D1 with respect to the solenoid valve drive device 20 described above. Unlike the constant current control that directly uses the power supply voltage VB of the DC power supply B, the device 20a drives the solenoid valves 11 and 12 by constant current control that uses the high voltage boosted by the DCDC converter 25. Therefore, in the solenoid valve drive device 20a, unlike the constant current control by the switching control of the switch 23 in the first embodiment, the constant current control by the switching control of the switch 24 is performed as shown in FIG.

That is, the electromagnetic valve drive device 20a can be configured as follows.
For the coils (11a, 12a) of the solenoid valve (11, 12), a peak current for quickly opening the solenoid valve at the start of the set drive period, and the electromagnetic until the drive period ends. An electromagnetic valve driving device (20a) for supplying a hold current smaller than the peak current, which is a current for maintaining a valve open state, and the electromagnetic valve driving device converts the peak current into the coil And a charging means (25) for generating a high voltage higher than the power supply voltage (VB) from the DC power supply (B) and charging the capacitor. The capacitor is connected in parallel to the power supply path from the DC power supply to the coil, and is disposed on either the high potential side or the low potential side of the coil, and is turned on at the start of the driving period. By entering the state, the high voltage of the capacitor is applied to supply the peak current to the coil, and the solenoid valve driving device starts switching after the supply of the peak current, whereby the power supply voltage of the DC power supply And switching elements (22a, 22b, 24) for supplying the hold current to the coil.

  As described above, in accordance with the operation of the switches 22a, 22b, and 24, the peak current is supplied by applying the high voltage of the capacitor C, and then the power supply voltage VB of the DC power supply B is applied to thereby hold current. Thus, only one current supply circuit (24) is provided without providing both of the two current supply circuits (23, 24) for peak current supply and hold current supply as in the first embodiment. Thus, currents of different magnitudes can be supplied to the coils 11a and 12a. Therefore, the configuration for supplying the peak current and the hold current to the electromagnetic valves 11 and 12 can be simplified.

  And even if comprised in this way, the maximum switching frequency of each switch 22a, 22b, 24 is controlled by controlling the switching operation rate Db of each switch 22a, 22b and the switching operation rate Da of the switch 24 at the time of constant current control. And the increase in switching loss is suppressed, and the heat generation of the switches 22a, 22b, 24 controlled during the constant current control can be suppressed.

  In particular, in the switching operation rate setting process, the switching operation rates Da and Db of the switches 22a, 22b, and 24 are set so as to reduce the difference in heat generated in the switches 22a, 22b, and 24 as described above. As a result, the difference in heat generated by each switch 22a, 22b, 24 is reduced, and the heat generated by each switch 22a, 22b, 24 is higher than when one switch generates higher heat than the other switches. It can be effectively suppressed.

  In the fifth embodiment, as in the second embodiment, based on each heat generation state measured and stored in advance, the difference in heat generation generated in each switch 22a, 22b, 24 is reduced. Each switching operation rate Da, Db may be set. Further, in the fifth embodiment, as in the third embodiment, each switch 22a, 22b, 24 is obtained from the measured temperature of each switch 22a, 22b, 24 so as to reduce the difference in heat generation. The switching operation rates Da and Db may be set respectively.

In addition, this invention is not limited to said each embodiment and modification, You may actualize as follows.

  When a solenoid valve for a single cylinder engine is the object to be controlled, a first switch means connected to the low potential side of the solenoid valve and controlled during constant current control on the solenoid valve, and a height of the solenoid valve The switching operation rates Da and Db are set so as to reduce the difference in heat generated between the switch means and the second switch means connected to the potential side and controlled at the time of constant current control with respect to the solenoid valve. The Rukoto. When a multi-cylinder engine solenoid valve is a control target, a plurality of first switch means connected to the low potential side of each solenoid valve and controlled during constant current control with respect to the solenoid valve; The second switch means connected in common to the high potential side of each solenoid valve and controlled at the time of constant current control with respect to the solenoid valve, so as to reduce the difference in heat generated by each switch means, The switching operation rates Da and Db are set.

(2) The switching operation rate setting process shown in step S101 is not limited to setting the switching operation rates Da and Db using the above equation (1) or the like, but Da + Db = 1 and 0 <Da <1, 0 <. For example, the switching operation rates Da and Db may be set so as to satisfy Da, Db = 0.5 so as to satisfy Db <1. Even in such a case, the switch 23 (24) is controlled to be switched and the switch 22a or the switch 22b is turned on in all periods in which the power supply voltage VB is applied to the electromagnetic valves 11 and 12, or the switch 22a or the switch 22b is switched on. The maximum number of switching times of each switch 22a, 22b, 23 (24) can be reduced as compared with the case where the switch 23 (24) is on-controlled while performing the switching control.

(3) Of the switches described above, a switch that is not subjected to switching control is not limited to a switching element such as a MOSFET, and may be a switch unit that can be controlled on / off.
