Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a combustion characteristic from being aggravated at the time of a compression ratio being lowered by controlling a variable swirl mechanism to enlarge a weak swirl region in proportion to the engine speed when the lowering of the engine in-cylinder pressure is detected. CONSTITUTION:The intake port of an engine main body 1 is formed into a helical port, so that the intake air is fed into a combustion chamber 2 while generating swirls. Each branch passage 8b of an auxiliary intake passage 8 led out of an intake manifold 5 is so set as to weaken the above-mentioned swirls in its opening position and leading direction. The common passage 8a of the auxiliary intake passage 8 is provided with a control valve 10 for opening/closing this common passage 8a, and the control valve 10 is controlled by a control unit 11 according to the varied operation region of the engine. When the lowering of the engine in cylinder pressure is detected at this time, the weak swirl region is controlled to be enlarged in proportion to the engine speed.

In other words, in low-load areas where the amount of fuel injection is small, the intake swirl is weakened to improve ignition performance, and in low-speed/high-load areas where the amount of fuel injection is large but the intake flow rate is slow, the intake swirl is strengthened to improve fuel dispersion. I'm letting you do it. Additionally, in high-speed, high-load regions, the intake swirl is weakened to increase the intake air filling amount.

The peak X on the pressure curve indicates the in-cylinder pressure at compression top dead center, and the peak Y indicates the increase in the in-cylinder pressure due to combustion.

The variable swirl mechanism is controlled so that the weak swirl region is expanded. Further, in this case, the correction width or correction rate of the weak swirl region is not uniform, but is increased in proportion to the engine speed, so that the weak swirl region is expanded in proportion to the engine speed.

Note that in order to more reliably control the variable swirl mechanism based on the detection of the decrease in cylinder pressure, correction according to the intake air temperature is also required. Another method for detecting a drop in cylinder pressure is to measure the cylinder pressure during cranking (low rotation), where the influence of compression leakage from seals is particularly large. Expansion correction of the weak swirl region is performed according to the temperature. FIG. 4 (fat, mountain) is a graph showing the relationship between the smoke emission amount and the engine load, with the strength of the intake swirl as a parameter. Fig. 4 +a+ shows the normal state, Fig. 4 fbl shows the abnormal state when the cylinder pressure has decreased, Fig. 4 Fat
From the graph in Figure 4(b), it was determined that increasing the intake swirl in the load range above point 21, which is relatively low under normal conditions, is advantageous in reducing smoke emissions. From the graph, it can be seen that in the event of an abnormality, it is advantageous to strengthen the intake swirl in the load region above the high load point P2, and that expanding the weak swirl region is effective in reducing the amount of smoke discharged.

Note that in the configuration shown in FIG. 1 described above, the branch passage 8b of the sub-intake passage 8 is provided in a direction that weakens the intake swirl.
On the contrary, it may be provided in a direction that strengthens the intake swirl. Furthermore, if the control valve 10 is simply an on-off valve, the strength of the intake swirl will only change to two levels, strong and weak. However, the control valve 10 may be a solenoid valve that is duty-controlled by the control unit. This makes it possible to minutely change the strength of the intake swirl depending on the load and engine speed.
