【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
本発明は、車両の走行状態に応じてスロットル開度を制
御するエンジンのスロットル弁制御装置に関するもので
ある。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an engine throttle valve control device that controls throttle opening depending on the running condition of a vehicle.
′(従来の技術)
従来、アクセルペダルの踏込み量に対するスロットル弁
の開度を棲械的、あるいは電気的に制御する車両におい
て、車両が登板走行に入るときは、運転者がそれを認識
して坂道の直前でアクセルを踏込み、登板開始後は、即
座にスロットル開度を開きぎみに制御することで必要な
走りを確保している。(Prior art) Conventionally, in a vehicle that mechanically or electrically controls the opening degree of the throttle valve in response to the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal, when the vehicle enters uphill driving, it is difficult for the driver to recognize this. He presses the accelerator just before the hill, and once he starts climbing, he immediately controls the throttle opening just enough to ensure the necessary running speed.
(発明が解決しようとしている課題)
しかしながら、上記従来例では、運転者が坂道の直前で
アクセルを踏込み、車両が登板路を一定時間走行すると
、運転者自身、登板中であるという意識が薄れてアクセ
ルの踏込み量を抑えぎみにするため、アクセル踏込み量
と登板走行性との不一致が生じ、運転者が走り不良感を
抱(という問題がある。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above conventional example, when the driver steps on the accelerator just before the slope and the vehicle travels on the slope for a certain period of time, the driver himself loses consciousness that he is on the slope. Since the amount of accelerator depression is kept too low, there is a problem that there is a mismatch between the amount of accelerator depression and the uphill running performance, and the driver feels that the driving performance is poor.
また、この問題を解決するため、登板検8時、通常より
もスロットル弁を電気的に開き側に補正することも考え
られるが、登板検出後、直ちにスロットル弁を開き側に
補正すると、登板開始時には運転者自身のアクセル操作
によってもスロットル弁が開き側に補正されるため、前
記の電気的な補正と運転者による補正とが重複してスロ
ットル弁が開き過ぎる懸念がある。In addition, in order to solve this problem, it is possible to electrically correct the throttle valve to the open side more than usual at 8 o'clock on the pitching inspection, but if the throttle valve is corrected to the open side immediately after the pitching detection, the pitching will start. Since the throttle valve is sometimes corrected to the open side by the driver's own accelerator operation, there is a concern that the electrical correction and the driver's correction overlap, causing the throttle valve to open too much.

トル開度特性を選択する。In step S2, it is determined whether the accelerator change amount is larger than a predetermined value α based on the accelerator opening signal. Further, in the following step S3, the amount of change in vehicle speed is determined from the vehicle speed signal to a predetermined value β.
Determine whether it is smaller than If any of these determination results is No, it is determined that the vehicle is not on a hill and the process proceeds to step S9, where a throttle opening characteristic corresponding to normal driving is selected from a throttle drive map, which will be described later, stored in the RAM 14.

If all the determinations in S3 are YES, it is determined that the vehicle is being climbed, and the process proceeds to step S4, where it is determined whether or not this is the first determination that the vehicle is being climbed. If it is determined that the player is pitching for the first time, a timer T is set in step S5, and the timer Tltl is decremented in step S6. still,
If the determination in step S4 is NO1, that is, it is determined that it is not the first pitching, step S5 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S6.

If the value is not O, it means that the state of pitching has not continued for a certain period of time, and the process proceeds to step S9. , select the throttle opening characteristic for normal driving from the throttle drive map. However, if the value of timer T is 0, it means that the state of pitching has continued for a certain period of time, so in step S8,
Select the throttle opening characteristic corresponding to uphill driving from the throttle drive map.

, outputs a throttle control opening signal and a throttle control current value. As a result, eight throttle drive signals corresponding to the running state are applied to the throttle drive motor 21 from the electric throttle drive section 20, so the throttle valve 4 opens according to the signal value.

スロットルを駆動する。FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a throttle drive map in this embodiment. In the figure, when the vehicle is running normally, the ECUIO drives the throttle according to the throttle opening characteristic shown by the solid line. However, after the state of climbing continues for a certain period of time as described above, the throttle is driven according to the throttle opening characteristic corresponding to the climbing running indicated by the broken line.

上のスロットル開度であるTV8が選択される。That is, as can be seen from FIG. 3, when the vehicle is running normally with the accelerator opening A, the corresponding throttle opening is TV, so the driver depresses the accelerator and the accelerator opening is When changing from A to B, until the amount of change exceeds a predetermined value (α above) and the amount of change in vehicle speed remains below the predetermined value (β above) for a certain period of time, that is, uphill running Until it is determined that the throttle opening degree is increased from TV to T V l. When this state continues for a certain period of time and it is determined that the vehicle is climbing, TV8, which is the throttle opening on the climbing running characteristic corresponding to the accelerator opening B, is selected.

ことで、登板走行性を良好に保つことができるという効
果がある。As explained above, according to this embodiment, even if the driver tries to hold down the amount of accelerator depression while the vehicle is climbing, the throttle opening is slightly opened when it is determined that the vehicle is climbing. This has the effect of maintaining good running performance on the pitch.
また、登板中は、スロットル開度が開きぎみなることで
、登板を開始する段階で運転者が坂道に過剰に反応し、
みだりにアクセルを踏込むことを防げるという効果があ

This has the effect of preventing you from pressing the accelerator unnecessarily.
