Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combustion control device for an internal combustion engine that recirculates part of exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine to an intake system of the internal combustion engine.
- Engines incorporating this technology are equipped with fuel injectors for stratified combustion that directly inject fuel around the spark plug.
- the fuel is injected from the fuel injection valve for stratified combustion to supply fuel unevenly around the spark plug and open the throttle valve to open the throttle stratified combustion. Execute As a result, fuel efficiency has been improved, and bombing loss has been reduced.
- an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mechanism is provided to reduce emissions, for example, as in the device described in JP-A-7-119513.
- the EGR mechanism includes an EGR passage that connects the exhaust passage and the intake passage of the engine, and an EGR valve that opens and closes the EGR passage.
- the above-mentioned publication discloses a technique for controlling the EGR amount to bring the torque fluctuation (output fluctuation) of the engine closer to a target value, thereby achieving both the torque fluctuation suppression and the emission reduction. That is, when the torque fluctuation becomes larger than the target value, the torque fluctuation is suppressed to the target value or less by reducing the EGR amount. Then, when the torque fluctuation becomes smaller than the target value, the torque fluctuation approaches the target value by increasing the EGR amount, and the amount of nitrogen oxides discharged from the engine is reduced.
- the relationship between the increase and decrease of the EGR amount and the torque fluctuation is as shown in FIG. 22 under the condition that the fuel injection amount is constant. That is, in the region where the EGR amount is small, the change amount of the torque fluctuation that changes with the increase or decrease of the EGR amount is small, and in the region where the EGR amount is large, the change amount of the torque fluctuation that changes with the increase or decrease of the EGR amount Becomes larger.
- the torque fluctuation excessively changes with the change in the EGR amount, so that it becomes difficult to accurately control the torque fluctuation to the target value. That is, there is a response delay in the change of the EGR amount, and the EGR amount does not change immediately even when the opening of the EGR valve is changed. Therefore, for example, when the torque fluctuation becomes larger than the target value (arrow C in FIG. 22), the torque fluctuation largely deviates from the target value to an increasing side due to a response delay when the EGR amount is reduced. Becomes And such an excessive torque fluctuation may lead to a decrease in driver's authority.
- the air-fuel ratio of the homogeneous mixture that is drawn into the combustion chamber is set to a value higher than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio, and a vortex is generated in the mixture to achieve “lean combustion ( Lean burn) ".
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and has been made in consideration of the combustion of an internal combustion engine that can quickly bring the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine closer to a target value while suppressing deterioration of the emission. It is an object to provide a control device.
- the combustion control device for an internal combustion engine includes a fuel injection unit M2 for injecting fuel into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine M1, and an exhaust gas discharged from an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine M1.
- Exhaust recirculation means M3 for recirculating a part of the internal combustion engine to the intake system of the internal combustion engine M1, output fluctuation detection means M4 for detecting output fluctuations of the internal combustion engine M1, and output fluctuation detection means M4
- the amount of fuel injected by the fuel injection means M2 is controlled to bring the output fluctuation close to the target value, and the amount of exhaust gas recirculated by the exhaust gas recirculation means M3 is controlled.
- a control means M5 for controlling the amount is provided.
- the fuel injected from the fuel injection means M2 is supplied into the cylinder of the internal combustion engine M1, and combustion is performed by a mixture of the fuel and the air.
- the control means M5 increases and decreases the fuel injection amount by the fuel injection means M2 so that the output fluctuation approaches the target value. Increase or decrease the amount of exhaust gas recirculated to the intake system of the internal combustion engine Ml.
- the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M1 approaches the target value by both the increase and decrease of the fuel injection amount and the increase and decrease of the amount of the recirculated exhaust gas, so that the output fluctuation can be quickly brought close to the target value.
- control means M5 when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml is smaller than a target value, decreases the fuel injection amount and increases the amount of the recirculated exhaust gas. Further, when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml is larger than the target value, the control means M5 increases the fuel injection amount and decreases the amount of the recirculated exhaust gas.
- the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture during stratified charge combustion is higher than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. Therefore, if the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml is smaller than the target value and the fuel injection amount is reduced, the output fluctuation increases. At this time, if the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated is increased, the ignitability of the mixture and the flame propagation are reduced, so that the output fluctuation is also increased. Therefore, even if the output fluctuation is smaller than the target value, the output fluctuation can be reliably brought close to the target value by reducing the fuel injection amount and increasing the recirculated exhaust gas.
- the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml is larger than the target value, the output fluctuation becomes smaller when the fuel injection amount is increased. At this time, if the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated is reduced, the output fluctuation similarly becomes smaller. Therefore, even if the output fluctuation becomes larger than the target value, the output fluctuation can be surely brought close to the target value by increasing the fuel injection amount and decreasing the recirculated exhaust gas.
- control means M5 is configured such that the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml is a target value. If the output fluctuation is smaller, the amount of exhaust gas to be recirculated is increased. Further, the control means M5 increases the fuel injection amount when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M1 is larger than the target value, and when the output fluctuation further increases, the recirculation is performed. Reduce the amount of exhaust. In other words, when the torque fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml slightly increases from the target value or changes from the target value to a younger decrease side, only the fuel injection amount is increased or decreased before the recirculation exhaust amount is increased or decreased. And bring the torque fluctuation closer to the target value. In this case, since the recirculation displacement does not increase or decrease, emission deterioration is prevented. Further, when the fuel injection amount is reduced without increasing the recirculation exhaust amount, the fuel efficiency of the internal combustion engine Ml is improved.
- the internal combustion engine M1 selectively performs homogeneous combustion and stratified combustion.In order to bring the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M1 closer to a target value during stratified combustion, the fuel injection amount is increased.
- the maximum fuel correction amount when performing the fuel injection is set to be smaller than the maximum fuel correction amount when the fuel injection amount is increased and corrected in order to bring the output fluctuation close to the target value during homogeneous combustion.
- the maximum fuel correction amount during stratified combustion is set to be smaller than the maximum fuel correction amount during homogeneous combustion in this way, misfiring will occur even during stratified combustion in which a rich mixture of fuel exists around the spark plug. This can be prevented from occurring.
- the combustion control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a fuel injection unit M12 for injecting fuel into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine Mil, and an exhaust system of the internal combustion engine M11.
- Exhaust recirculation means M13 for recirculating a part of the exhaust gas discharged from the internal combustion engine to the intake system of the internal combustion engine M11, and output fluctuation detecting means M1 for detecting an output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 4, and an injection amount control means M for controlling a fuel injection amount by the fuel injection means Ml2 based on the output fluctuation detected by the output fluctuation detection means Ml4 so that the output fluctuation approaches a target value.
- the recirculation amount control means M for controlling the amount of exhaust gas recirculated by the exhaust gas recirculation means M13 in order to bring the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 closer to a target value based on the obtained fuel injection quantity. 1 and 6 are provided.
- the fuel injection amount by the fuel injection means M12 is increased or decreased by the injection amount control means M15 so that the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 approaches the target value. Further, based on the fuel injection amount increased or decreased by the injection amount control means Ml5, the amount of exhaust gas recirculated to make the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 close to the target value is controlled by the exhaust recirculation means Ml3. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the emission from being deteriorated due to the recirculation amount being too small.
- the injection amount control means M15 reduces the fuel injection amount when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 is smaller than a target value. Further, the injection amount control means M15 increases the fuel injection amount when the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 is larger than a target value. As a result, the output fluctuation approaches the target value.
- the recirculation amount control unit M16 re-starts when the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control unit M15 deviates from a predetermined increase / decrease range to the increase side. Reduce the amount of circulated exhaust. Further, the recirculation amount control means M16 increases the reduction amount of the recirculated exhaust gas as the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M15 moves away from the increase / decrease range.
- the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M15 is increased or decreased with respect to the required amount due to, for example, dimensional tolerances of the intake system and the fuel system in the internal combustion engine M11. Then, when the fuel injection amount deviates from the increase / decrease range when the fuel injection amount is increased / decreased due to, for example, the dimensional tolerance, the recirculation amount control is performed so that the output fluctuation approaches the target value.
- the amount of exhaust gas recirculated to the intake system of the internal combustion engine M11 is reduced by means M16. Therefore, when the fuel injection amount becomes smaller than the required amount due to the above-mentioned tolerance and the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine Ml 1 increases, the output fluctuation approaches the target value.
- the amount of exhaust gas that is recycled is not reduced. Further, the more the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M 15 is out of the increase / decrease range, the larger the amount of reduction of the recirculated exhaust gas is. Therefore, this fuel injection amount depends on the dimensional tolerance and the like. Even in the case where the fuel injection amount largely deviates from the increase / decrease range to the increase side, the output fluctuation of the internal combustion engine M11 can be reliably suppressed.
- the recirculation amount control means M16 is re-started when the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M15 deviates from a predetermined increase / decrease range to a decrease side. Increase the amount of exhaust gas circulated. Further, the recirculation amount control means M16 increases the amount of recirculated exhaust gas as the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M15 moves away from the increase / decrease range.
- the fuel injection amount controlled by the injection amount control means M 15 deviates from the increase / decrease range of the fuel injection amount due to, for example, the dimensional tolerance or the like to the decrease side
- the fuel is recirculated as the distance from the increase / decrease range increases. Control is performed such that the amount of increase in exhaust gas is increased. Therefore, in the internal combustion engine Ml1 performing lean combustion, the fuel injection amount increased or decreased by the injection amount control means Ml5 is largely reduced from within the range of increase or decrease of the fuel injection amount due to the dimensional tolerance or the like. Even in the case of deviation, emission deterioration can be reliably suppressed.

Make settings. That is, in step S103, the fuel injection amount is increased and corrected. Then, the EGR amount is reduced.
- the shift from the point P to the point Q is performed and the torque fluctuation d 1 n is quickly reduced. Is quickly and reliably brought close to the target value d 1 n 1 v 1. Further, due to the shift from the point P to the point Q, the target value d 1 n 1 V 1 is located at the point Q in a region where the torque fluctuation does not excessively change with the change in the EGR amount. Therefore, when the torque fluctuation d 1 n becomes larger than the target value d 1 n 1 V 1 from the state at point Q (arrow R in FIG. 8), the amount of increase in the torque fluctuation d 1 ⁇ is small.
- the torque fluctuation d 1 n does not greatly deviate from the target value d 1 n 1 v 1 on the increasing side.
- the transition from the point P to the point Q also prevents an excessive increase in NOx.

- the shift from the S point to the T point is performed, and the torque fluctuation d 1 n is rapidly increased. Is quickly and reliably brought close to the target value d 1 n 1 V 1. Also, due to the shift from the point S to the point T, the target value d 1 n 1 V 1 is located at the point T in a region where the torque fluctuation does not excessively change with the change in the EGR amount. Therefore, when the torque fluctuation d 1 n becomes larger than the target value d 1 n 1 V 1 from the state at the point T (arrow U in FIG. 8), the amount of increase in the torque fluctuation d 1 n is small. Therefore, the torque fluctuation d 1 n does not largely deviate from the target value d 1 n 1 V 1 on the increasing side. In addition, the shift from point S to point T increases the EGR amount, so that NOx emissions can be reduced.
- step S106 the ECU 30 determines whether or not the fuel correction amount faf is equal to or more than the minimum value faf min of the permissible range (“faf min ⁇ faf”).

If not, go to step S111 to guide the EGR correction amount kegr to the minimum value (minimum EGR correction amount) keg rmin. Also, in step S110 above, "keg rmin ⁇ kegr" If it is determined, the process proceeds to step S112, and the ECU 30 determines whether or not the EGR correction amount kegr is equal to or less than the maximum value kegr max (“kegrkegr max”) of the allowable range.

- the predetermined value Since Ch2 is larger, if the torque fluctuation d1n becomes larger than the target value d1n1v1, the fuel injection amount is first increased and then the EGR amount is reduced. Therefore, when the torque fluctuation d 1 n slightly increases from the target value d 1 n 1 v 1 as shown by point p in Fig. 13, the EGR amount is not decreased and only the fuel injection amount is increased. Then, the point p moves to the point Q, and the torque fluctuation d 1 n approaches the target value d 1 n 1 v 1. In this case, since the EGR amount does not decrease, the N ⁇ X emission does not increase when the point p shifts to the point q, as shown in Fig. 14, so that deterioration of the emission can be prevented. become.

Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S216, where the ECU 30 subtracts the predetermined value C12 from the torque fluctuation d1n force target value d1n1V1 ("d1n1V1_C12"). Determine whether it is small.
