- the ECU 20 burns in S38 based on the intake air quantity Mair and the initial injection quantity fi defined in S12.
- the corrected injection amount fc is determined so that the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture in the chamber 3 matches the target air-fuel ratio (theoretical air-fuel ratio).
- the ECU 20 causes the fuel of the corrected injection amount fc to be injected from the injector 12 provided in the target combustion chamber 3 at a predetermined timing during the compression stroke.
- the injector 12 is opened (S38).
- the internal combustion engine 1 of the present embodiment is not limited to the force described as a so-called direct injection engine.
- the present invention is not limited to the intake pipe (intake port) injection internal combustion engine, the port injection injector and the cylinder. Needless to say, the present invention is applied to an internal combustion engine having an internal injection injector for each combustion chamber.
- the ratio of the pressure Pm ( ⁇ 1) of the intake air in the pulp over wrap and the pressure Pe ( ⁇ 1) of the exhaust gas is used as the guard value. It is assumed that the threshold value ⁇ is fixed, but this is not restrictive. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the ratio of the intake air pressure Pm ( ⁇ 1) to the in-cylinder pressure P c ( ⁇ 0), Pm ( ⁇ 1) / P c ( ⁇ 0), and the intake air
- the relationship between the ratio Pm ( ⁇ 1) / P e ( ⁇ 1) of the exhaust gas pressure P m ( ⁇ 1) and the exhaust gas pressure P e ( ⁇ 1) may be approximated using multiple functions . In the example of Fig.
- the surge tank 8 is provided with the intake pressure sensor 16 for detecting the pressure of the intake air. 1 6 may be omitted, and the intake air pressure Pm ( ⁇ 1) at a predetermined timing (timing when the crank angle becomes ⁇ 1) during the valve overlap is estimated based on the in-cylinder pressure. Good.
- the pressure of the intake air and the in-cylinder pressure are substantially equal at the intake bottom dead center.
- the timing at which valve overlap is performed in a combustion chamber 3 is the combustion in which the intake stroke is executed in advance for the combustion chamber 3 by 1 to 4 cycles (180 °) in the case of a 4-cylinder engine. In room 3, it almost coincides with the timing when the intake bottom dead center arrives. Therefore, taking these into account, the pressure of the intake air during pulp overlap in a certain combustion chamber 3 is the intake bottom dead center of the combustion chamber 3 where the intake stroke is executed preceding that combustion chamber 3 by 1 Z4 cycle. It can be estimated based on the in-cylinder pressure at. As a result, the intake pressure sensor 16 that detects the intake air pressure is disabled. Thus, the cost required for calculating the amount of air taken into each combustion chamber 3 can be further reduced.
- FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a routine for estimating the pressure of the intake air at a predetermined timing during the pulp overlap based on the in-cylinder pressure.
- the routine in FIG. 5 is executed by the ECU 20 at a predetermined timing, for example, before S14 in FIG. In this case, the ECU 20 determines that the intake bottom dead center closest to the combustion chamber (preceding combustion chamber) 3 in which the intake stroke is executed by a 1/4 cycle ahead of the target combustion chamber 3 from a predetermined storage area.
- the detected value P c ( ⁇ BDC) of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 at is read (S 100).
- the ECU 20 detects the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 at two predetermined points during the compression stroke after the intake bottom dead center of the combustion chamber 3 in which the intake stroke is executed by 1Z4 cycles ahead of the target combustion chamber 3.
- the detected values P c ( ⁇ a) and P c ( ⁇ b) are read from a predetermined storage area (S102). If the crank angles 0 a and 0 b are selected so as to be included in the compression stroke, the respective values can be arbitrary.
- the output (relative pressure) of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 cannot be absolute-corrected based on the detected value of the intake pressure sensor 16, so that the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 is detected.
- the values P c ( ⁇ a) and P c (0 b) are stored in the storage area without being subjected to absolute pressure correction (in a state indicating relative pressure).
- the cylinder pressure (true value) after absolute pressure correction when the crank angle is 0 a is Pa
- the cylinder pressure (true value) after absolute pressure correction when the crank angle is 0 b. Value) is P b and the absolute pressure correction value of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 is P r
- P a P c ′ (0 a) + P r
- the ECU 20 detects the detected values P c ( ⁇ a), P c ( ⁇ ) of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 at two predetermined points during the compression stroke of the preceding combustion chamber 3 after the processing of S 1 0 2. b) and the in-cylinder volumes V ( ⁇ a) and V ( ⁇ b) at the two predetermined points, the in-cylinder pressure sensor 1 provided in the preceding combustion chamber 3 from the above equation (1 1) Calculate the absolute pressure correction value Pr of 5 (S 104).
- the in-cylinder volumes V ( ⁇ a) and V ( ⁇ b) used in S 104 are calculated in advance and stored in the storage device.
- the ECU 20 The values of ( ⁇ a) and V ( ⁇ b) are read from the storage device and used for the processing of S20.
- the ECU 20 detects the detected value P c ( ⁇ BDC) of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 15 at the intake bottom dead center acquired at S 100, and S Using the absolute pressure correction value Pr obtained in 104, the pressure Pm ( ⁇ 1) of the intake air during the pulp overlap lap in the target combustion chamber 3 is calculated (S 1 0 6). That is, the pressure Pm ( ⁇ 1) of the intake air during pulp overlap in a certain combustion chamber 3 precedes the combustion chamber 3 by 1/4 cycle (1 / N cycle in the case of an N-cylinder engine). If the in-cylinder pressure at the intake bottom dead center of combustion chamber 3 where the intake stroke is executed is P c 1 180 ( ⁇ BDC),
- the routine of FIG. 5 is executed, so that the in-cylinder pressure P ( ⁇ ) and the in-cylinder volume V ( ⁇ ) are used without using the intake pressure sensor that detects the intake air pressure.
- the present invention can be used to accurately obtain the required amount of fuel and to bring the air-fuel ratio in the combustion chamber close to the target value.
