Description

  The present invention relates to a control device for an internal combustion engine provided with an EGR device that recirculates a part of exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine to an intake passage.

  Some internal combustion engines mounted on vehicles are equipped with an EGR device that recirculates a part of the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine to the intake passage as EGR gas for the purpose of improving fuel consumption and reducing exhaust emission. In this EGR device, the flow rate of EGR gas is adjusted by an EGR valve provided in the EGR passage.

  Some internal combustion engines mounted on vehicles are equipped with an exhaust turbine-driven supercharger (so-called turbocharger) for the purpose of improving output and the like. This exhaust turbine-driven supercharger is configured to supercharge intake air by driving a compressor provided in an intake passage with an exhaust turbine provided in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. Furthermore, there is also a waste gate valve that opens and closes an exhaust bypass passage that bypasses the exhaust turbine.

  An example of an internal combustion engine with a supercharger provided with an EGR device is described in Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-96049). When it is determined that a predetermined acceleration request has been detected, the waste gate valve is operated to the closed side and the opening of the EGR valve is decreased from the target opening, thereby suppressing turbo lag and reducing emissions. It is trying to make deterioration suppression compatible.

JP 2010-96049 A

  By the way, in an internal combustion engine equipped with an EGR device, it responds to a change in the external EGR introduction amount (the flow rate of EGR gas introduced into the internal combustion engine) with respect to the change in the target EGR amount due to the volume from the EGR valve to the intake port. There is a delay. For this reason, when the target EGR amount increases during acceleration of the internal combustion engine, there is a possibility that the external EGR introduction amount will be insufficient due to the response delay of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target EGR amount, and the fuel efficiency improvement effect may be reduced. However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot solve such a problem.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a control device for an internal combustion engine that can suppress a reduction in fuel efficiency improvement effect due to a shortage of external EGR introduction amount during acceleration.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention according to claim 1 is directed to an EGR device (28) for recirculating a part of exhaust gas from the exhaust passage (15) of the internal combustion engine (11) to the intake passage (12) as EGR gas. A supercharger (17) for supercharging intake air by driving a compressor (19) provided in the intake passage (12) by an exhaust turbine (18) provided in the exhaust passage (15); In a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine having a waste gate valve (27) for opening and closing an exhaust bypass passage (26) for bypassing (18), the flow rate of EGR gas introduced into the internal combustion engine (11) (hereinafter referred to as "external EGR"). Insufficient amount calculation means (37) for calculating the shortage of the target value of the “introduction amount”) as the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and the waste gate valve (2 ) In which a has a configuration which includes a WGV opening control means for executing WGV open control for controlling the open side (37).

  In this configuration, the shortage of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target value is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and WGV opening control for controlling the waste gate valve to the open side is executed according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount. In this way, when the target EGR amount (target value of the external EGR introduction amount) increases during acceleration of the internal combustion engine, and the external EGR introduction amount becomes insufficient due to a response delay of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target EGR amount. In addition, the exhaust pressure upstream of the exhaust turbine can be reduced by executing the WGV opening control for controlling the waste gate valve to the open side. By reducing the exhaust pressure, the pump loss of the internal combustion engine can be reduced and the fuel consumption can be improved. Further, by reducing the exhaust pressure, it is possible to reduce the internal EGR amount (combustion gas amount remaining in the cylinder) of the internal combustion engine and lower the in-cylinder temperature, thereby advancing the ignition timing while suppressing knocking. The fuel consumption can be improved by reducing the angle (decreasing the retard amount of the ignition timing).

An ignition plug (not shown) is attached to the cylinder head of the engine 11 for each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder is ignited by spark discharge of each ignition plug.

  An exhaust manifold 25 is connected to the exhaust port of each cylinder of the engine 11, and a downstream collecting portion of the exhaust manifold 25 of each cylinder is connected to an exhaust pipe 15 upstream of the exhaust turbine 18. Further, an exhaust bypass passage 26 for bypassing the upstream side and the downstream side of the exhaust turbine 18 is provided, and a waste gate valve (hereinafter referred to as “WGV”) 27 for opening and closing the exhaust bypass passage 26 is provided in the exhaust bypass passage 26. Is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the WGV 27 is connected to an electric actuator 39 via a link mechanism 38, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is adjusted by controlling the stroke amount of the electric actuator 39. A sensor (not shown) for detecting the opening degree of the WGV 27 is provided at or near the electric actuator 39. This sensor detects, for example, the stroke amount of the electric actuator 39 or the movement amount of the WGV 27 as information on the opening degree of the WGV 27.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the engine 11 is equipped with an LPL type (low pressure loop type) EGR device 28 that recirculates a part of the exhaust gas from the exhaust pipe 15 to the intake pipe 12 as EGR gas. The EGR device 28 includes a downstream side of the exhaust turbine 18 in the exhaust pipe 15 (for example, downstream side of the catalyst 16) and an upstream side of the compressor 19 in the intake pipe 12 (intake passage on the upstream side of the throttle valve 21). An EGR pipe 29 (EGR passage) is connected between them, and an EGR cooler 30 for cooling the EGR gas and an EGR valve 31 for adjusting the flow rate of the EGR gas are provided in the EGR pipe 29. The opening degree of the EGR valve 31 is adjusted by an actuator (not shown) such as a motor, and the EGR valve 31 is opened to open a compressor in the intake pipe 12 from the downstream side of the catalyst 16 in the exhaust pipe 15. The EGR gas is recirculated to the upstream side of 19. At that time, the flow rate of EGR gas introduced into the engine 11 (hereinafter referred to as “external EGR introduction amount”) is adjusted by controlling the opening degree of the EGR valve 31 and adjusting the flow rate of the EGR gas passing through the EGR valve 31. Can be adjusted.

  In addition, the engine 11 is provided with a coolant temperature sensor 34 that detects the coolant temperature, a crank angle sensor 35 that outputs a pulse signal each time a crankshaft (not shown) rotates a predetermined crank angle, and the like. Based on the output signal 35, the crank angle and the engine speed are detected. The surge tank 23 or the intake manifold 24 detects an EGR gas sensor 32 (for example, an air-fuel ratio sensor or an oxygen sensor) that detects the EGR gas concentration and an intake manifold pressure (intake pressure in the surge tank 23 or the intake manifold 24). An intake pressure sensor 33 is provided. Further, an intake pressure sensor 36 for detecting a supercharging pressure (intake pressure on the upstream side of the throttle valve 21) is provided on the upstream side of the throttle valve 21 in the intake pipe 12.

  Outputs of these various sensors are input to an electronic control unit (hereinafter referred to as “ECU”) 37. The ECU 37 is mainly composed of a microcomputer, and executes various engine control programs stored in a built-in ROM (storage medium), so that the fuel injection amount and the ignition timing are determined according to the engine operating state. The throttle opening (intake air amount) and the like are controlled.

  Further, the ECU 37 calculates a target boost pressure based on the engine operating state (for example, the accelerator opening and the engine speed), and based on the target boost pressure, calculates the target WGV opening (the target opening of the WGV 27). calculate. And the opening degree of WGV27 is controlled so that the opening degree of WGV27 may correspond with the target WGV opening degree.

  Further, the ECU 37 calculates a target EGR amount (target value of the external EGR introduction amount) based on the engine operating state (for example, the engine rotation speed and the intake air amount), and the target EGR valve opening degree based on the target EGR amount. (Target opening of the EGR valve 31) is calculated. Then, the opening degree of the EGR valve 31 is controlled so that the opening degree of the EGR valve 31 matches the target EGR valve opening degree.

  Incidentally, in the engine 11 provided with the EGR device 28, a response delay occurs in the change in the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the change in the target EGR amount due to the volume from the EGR valve 31 to the intake port. For this reason, when the target EGR amount increases when the engine 11 is accelerated, there is a possibility that the external EGR introduction amount becomes insufficient due to a delay in response of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target EGR amount, and the fuel efficiency improvement effect may be reduced.

  As a countermeasure against this, in the first embodiment, the ECU 37 executes a WGV opening control routine shown in FIG. 3 to be described later, thereby calculating a shortage of the external EGR introduction amount relative to the target EGR amount as the external EGR introduction shortage amount. WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to open is executed in accordance with the EGR introduction shortage amount.

  Specifically, the deviation between the target EGR amount and the external EGR introduction amount (actual external EGR introduction amount or estimated external EGR introduction amount) is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and this external EGR introduction shortage amount exceeds a predetermined value. WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to open is executed. At this time, the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the shortage of external EGR introduction.

  In this way, when the engine 11 is accelerated, the target EGR amount increases, and when the external EGR introduction amount becomes insufficient due to the response delay of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target EGR amount, the WGRV 27 is controlled to open. The WGV opening control can be executed to reduce the exhaust pressure upstream of the exhaust turbine 18. By reducing the exhaust pressure, the pump loss of the engine 11 can be reduced and the fuel consumption can be improved. Further, by reducing the exhaust pressure, the internal EGR amount (the amount of combustion gas remaining in the cylinder) of the engine 11 can be reduced and the in-cylinder temperature can be lowered. The fuel consumption can be improved by reducing the angle (decreasing the retard amount of the ignition timing).

Hereinafter, the processing content of the WGV opening control routine of FIG. 3 executed by the ECU 37 in the first embodiment will be described.
The WGV opening control routine shown in FIG. 3 is repeatedly executed at a predetermined period during the power-on period of the ECU 37 (for example, during the ignition switch-on period), and plays a role as WGV opening control means in the claims. When this routine is started, first, at step 101, the accelerator opening, the engine speed, the intake air amount, etc. are read.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 102, where the target boost pressure is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula based on the accelerator opening and the engine speed, and the target WGV opening is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula based on the target boost pressure. calculate. Further, the target throttle opening is calculated based on the target boost pressure and the target intake manifold pressure using a map or a mathematical expression.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 103, where the target EGR amount is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula based on the engine speed and the intake air amount, and the target EGR valve opening is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula based on the target EGR amount. To do.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 104, and the external EGR introduction amount is calculated. In this case, for example, the actual external EGR introduction amount is obtained by calculating the external EGR introduction amount based on the output of the EGR gas sensor 32 using a map or a mathematical expression. Alternatively, the estimated external EGR introduction amount may be obtained by calculating (estimating) the external EGR introduction amount based on the opening degree of the EGR valve 31 and the intake air amount using an estimation model.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 105, and the deviation between the target EGR amount and the external EGR introduction amount (actual external EGR introduction amount or estimated external EGR introduction amount) is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount.
External EGR introduction deficient amount = target EGR amount-external EGR introduction amount The processing of step 105 serves as deficiency calculation means in the claims.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 106, where it is determined whether or not the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value. Here, the predetermined value is set to 0 or a value slightly larger than that, for example.
If it is determined in step 106 that the external EGR introduction deficiency is less than or equal to the predetermined value, there is almost no deficiency in the external EGR introduction amount (or there is almost no adverse effect due to the deficiency in the external EGR introduction amount). This routine is terminated without executing the WGV opening control.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 106 that the external EGR introduction insufficient amount exceeds a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step 107, and the target WGR opening degree is opened on the open side according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. To correct. Thus, WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. In this case, for example, the corrected target WGV opening is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula or the like according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount. Alternatively, the WGV opening correction amount may be calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and the target WGV opening correction amount may be corrected using this WGV opening correction amount.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 108, where the throttle opening is corrected to the open side according to the opening of the WGV 27 by correcting the target throttle opening to the open side according to the corrected target WGV opening. In this case, for example, the corrected target throttle opening is calculated according to the corrected target WGV opening using a map or a mathematical expression. Alternatively, the throttle opening correction amount may be calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the corrected target WGV opening, and the target throttle opening may be corrected using the throttle opening correction amount. The processing in step 108 serves as throttle opening correction means in the claims.

Next, an execution example of the WGV opening control of the first embodiment will be described using the time chart of FIG.
An external EGR introduction amount (actual external EGR introduction amount or estimated external EGR introduction amount) is calculated during engine operation, and a deviation between the target EGR amount and the external EGR introduction amount is calculated as an external EGR introduction shortage amount. Then, it is determined whether or not the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value.

Thereafter, when the engine 11 is accelerated (accelerator opening is increased), the target EGR amount increases, and at the time t1 when the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value due to a response delay of the external EGR introduction amount with respect to the target EGR amount. , WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to open is executed. In the first embodiment, the WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed by correcting the target WGV opening to the open side according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and also according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount. The opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed. Further, by correcting the target throttle opening to the open side according to the corrected target WGV opening, the throttle opening is corrected to the open side according to the opening of the WGV 27.
Thereafter, at the time t2 when the external EGR introduction deficiency becomes equal to or less than the predetermined value, the WGV opening control is terminated and the opening of the WGV 27 is returned to the normal target WGV opening.

  In the first embodiment described above, the shortage of the external EGR introduction amount relative to the target EGR amount is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and when this external EGR introduction shortage amount exceeds a predetermined value, the WWGV 27 is opened. The WGV opening control to be controlled is executed. As a result, when there is a shortage in the amount of external EGR introduced when the engine 11 is accelerated, the WGV opening control can be executed to reduce the exhaust pressure, and the fuel efficiency can be improved for the reasons described above. It is possible to suppress a reduction in fuel efficiency improvement effect due to a shortage of external EGR introduction amount at the time.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the external EGR introduction amount (actual external EGR introduction amount or estimated external EGR introduction amount) is calculated, and the deviation between the target EGR amount and the external EGR introduction amount is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount. Therefore, the external EGR introduction deficiency can be calculated with high accuracy.

  In the first embodiment, the WGV opening control is executed when the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value. As a result, the WGV opening control is executed only when the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value, and when the external EGR introduction deficiency is less than the predetermined value, the external EGR introduction deficiency hardly occurs (or Therefore, it is possible to prevent the WGV opening control from being executed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, during the WGV opening control, the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. Accordingly, the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed to an appropriate value by changing the opening degree of the WGV 27 in response to the change in the fuel efficiency improvement effect due to the shortage of the external EGR introduction quantity depending on the insufficient introduction amount of the external EGR. (Opening degree required to suppress reduction in fuel efficiency improvement effect due to shortage of external EGR introduction amount) can be controlled.

  By the way, when the WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed, the supercharging pressure is lowered, and the intake air amount may be reduced by that amount. Therefore, in the first embodiment, the throttle opening is corrected according to the opening of the WGV 27 during the WGV opening control. Thereby, the decrease in the intake air amount due to the WGV opening control can be canceled out by the increase in the intake air amount due to the correction of the throttle opening, and the decrease in the intake air amount can be suppressed or prevented.

  Next, Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, description of substantially the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified, and different parts from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the second embodiment, the ECU 37 executes a WGV opening control routine shown in FIG. 5 to be described later, thereby calculating the required exhaust pressure reduction amount according to the insufficient amount of external EGR introduction, and based on the required exhaust pressure reduction amount, the WGV 27 WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the opening side is performed by setting the opening degree of.

  The routine of FIG. 5 executed in the second embodiment is obtained by changing the process of step 107 of the routine of FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment to the processes of steps 107a and 107b. The processing is the same as in FIG.

  In the WGV opening control routine of FIG. 5, as in the routine of FIG. 3, after performing the processing of steps 101 to 105, it is determined in step 106 whether or not the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value. .

  If it is determined in step 106 that the external EGR introduction insufficient amount exceeds a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step 107a, and the required exhaust pressure reduction amount is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. To do.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 107b, and the target WGV opening is corrected to the open side according to the required exhaust pressure reduction amount. Thus, WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. In this case, for example, the corrected target WGV opening is calculated according to the required exhaust pressure reduction amount using a map or a mathematical expression. Alternatively, the WGV opening correction amount may be calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the required exhaust pressure reduction amount, and the target WGV opening correction may be corrected using this WGV opening correction amount.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 108, where the throttle opening is corrected to the open side according to the opening of the WGV 27 by correcting the target throttle opening to the open side according to the corrected target WGV opening.

Next, an execution example of the WGV opening control of the second embodiment will be described using the time chart of FIG.
At the time t1 when the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value during acceleration of the engine 11 (when the accelerator opening is increased), WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed. At this time, in the second embodiment, the required exhaust pressure reduction amount is calculated in accordance with the external EGR introduction insufficient amount, and the target WGV opening is corrected to the open side in accordance with the required exhaust pressure reduction amount. The WGV opening control for controlling the opening side is executed, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. Even in this case, the WGV opening control can be executed in accordance with the insufficient amount of external EGR introduction, and substantially the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, description of substantially the same parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted or simplified, and different parts from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  In the third embodiment, the ECU 37 executes a WGV opening control routine of FIG. 7 to be described later, thereby correcting the target supercharging pressure according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and based on the corrected target supercharging pressure WGV27. WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the opening side is performed by setting the opening degree of.

  The routine of FIG. 7 executed in the third embodiment is obtained by changing the processing of step 107 of the routine of FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment to the processing of steps 107c and 107d. The processing is the same as in FIG.

  In the WGV opening control routine of FIG. 7, as in the routine of FIG. 3, after performing the processing of steps 101 to 105, it is determined in step 106 whether or not the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value. .

  If it is determined in step 106 that the external EGR introduction insufficient amount exceeds a predetermined value, the process proceeds to step 107c, and the target supercharging pressure is corrected according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. In this case, for example, the target boost pressure after correction is calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount. Alternatively, the boost pressure correction amount may be calculated by a map or a mathematical formula according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and the target boost pressure may be corrected using this boost pressure correction amount.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 107d, and the target WGV opening is corrected to the open side in accordance with the corrected target boost pressure. Thus, WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. In this case, for example, a corrected target WGV opening degree according to the corrected target supercharging pressure is a map or a mathematical formula (a map used when calculating the target WGV opening degree based on the target supercharging pressure in step 102 above). Or a mathematical formula). Alternatively, the WGV opening correction amount may be calculated by a map or a mathematical expression according to the corrected target boost pressure, and the target WGV opening correction may be corrected using this WGV opening correction amount.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 108, where the throttle opening is corrected to the open side according to the opening of the WGV 27 by correcting the target throttle opening to the open side according to the corrected target WGV opening.

Next, an execution example of the WGV opening control of the third embodiment will be described using the time chart of FIG.
At the time t1 when the external EGR introduction deficiency exceeds a predetermined value during acceleration of the engine 11 (when the accelerator opening is increased), WGV opening control for controlling the WGV 27 to the open side is executed. At this time, in the third embodiment, the target supercharging pressure is corrected according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount, and the target WGV opening is corrected to the open side according to the corrected target supercharging pressure. The WGV opening control for controlling the opening side is executed, and the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction insufficient amount. Even in this case, the WGV opening control can be executed in accordance with the insufficient amount of external EGR introduction, and substantially the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.

  In each of the first to third embodiments, the deviation of the external EGR introduction amount relative to the target EGR amount is calculated as the external EGR introduction shortage amount. However, the calculation method of the external EGR introduction shortage amount is not limited to this. It may be changed as appropriate. For example, the external EGR introduction shortage amount may be calculated based on the deviation of the external EGR rate (the ratio of the external EGR introduction amount to the total gas flow rate introduced into the engine 11) with respect to the target external EGR rate. Alternatively, the external EGR introduction insufficient amount may be calculated based on the deviation of the EGR valve opening relative to the target EGR valve opening.

  Further, in each of the first to third embodiments, the opening degree of the WGV 27 is changed according to the external EGR introduction shortage amount during the WGV opening control. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the opening degree of the WGV 27 May be fixed at a predetermined opening (for example, fully open). In this way, it is possible to simplify the arithmetic processing during the WGV opening control.

  In the first to third embodiments, an EGR device 28 that recirculates EGR gas from the exhaust passage downstream of the exhaust turbine 18 (for example, downstream of the catalyst 16) to the intake passage upstream of the compressor 19 is employed. Although the present invention is applied to the engine 11 with the supercharger, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the intake passage on the upstream side or the downstream side of the exhaust turbine to the downstream side of the compressor (for example, the downstream side of the throttle valve) The present invention may be applied to an engine with a supercharger that employs an EGR device that recirculates EGR gas.

  In the above-described embodiment, the electric actuator is used as the waste gate valve driving mechanism. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a driving mechanism having another configuration can be employed. As the actuator, an electromagnetic actuator or a fluid pressure actuator that drives the valve by reciprocating a rod connected to the valve via a link in the axial direction (stroke direction) using electromagnetic force or fluid pressure may be used. .
