- Efficiency means the ratio of the torque that is actually output to the torque that the internal combustion engine can potentially output.
- request values expressed in the same physical quantity are collected, and one value is determined according to a predetermined calculation rule from the collected request values. This determination process is called mediation.
- Arbitration calculation rules can be set arbitrarily. However, if the calculation rule is not appropriate, a request with a relatively low priority is not reflected, and only a request with a relatively high priority is reflected in the final arbitration value, that is, the control amount target value. there is a possibility. In order to appropriately control the internal combustion engine, it is necessary to appropriately reflect not only a request having a relatively high priority but also a request having a relatively low priority in the target value.
- request arbitration is based on the premise that all requests to be arbitrated are represented by the same physical quantity, more precisely, a physical quantity used as a control quantity. For this reason, all requests issued from the vehicle control device to the control device of the internal combustion engine need to be expressed in the form of a control amount request value. However, depending on the type and content of the request, it may be not appropriate to take the form of a request value for a specific control amount.

Can be combined. If the constraint index value is a continuous value, the shape of the distribution can be changed with a high degree of freedom.
- the constraint index value assigned to each value of the control amount for each request can be multiplied by the weight according to the importance of each request.
- the control device integrates the weighted constraint index values for each control amount value, and determines the control amount constraint range based on the distribution of the integrated constraint index values obtained in this way. By performing such processing, the importance of each request can be reflected in the setting of the control amount target value.
- the first guideline is to apply a larger constraint index value to a predetermined finite value, for example, zero, as the control amount value is more suitable for the content of the request. .
- the target value of the control amount can be made to approach the value as the constraint index value applied to the value of the control amount is increased.

- Embodiment 1 FIG. Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.
- the control device of the present embodiment is applied to an internal combustion engine (hereinafter referred to as an engine) for automobiles.
- an engine for automobiles.
- engines There are no limitations on the types of engines that can be used. Spark-ignition engines, compression ignition engines, 4-stroke engines, 2-stroke engines, reciprocating engines, rotary engines, single-cylinder engines, multi-cylinder engines, etc. Can be applied to.
- the control device of the present embodiment controls one or more actuators such as a throttle and an ignition device provided in such an engine according to an engine control amount, for example, a torque target value.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device of the present embodiment.
- the control device is supplied with a required torque value (hereinafter referred to as required torque), which is an engine control amount.
- required torque can be interpreted as a request for drivability, which is one of the engine performances, expressed as torque, which is one of the engine control amounts.
- various other requirements relating to engine performance such as requirements relating to exhaust gas performance and fuel consumption rates, are supplied to the control device. These requests are supplied from a host controller that controls the entire vehicle.
- the control device determines a torque target value (hereinafter, target torque) based on the supplied required torque. Then, various actuators related to the torque are operated according to the determined target torque, and the engine torque is controlled through these operations.
- target torque a torque target value
- FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining a method for determining a constraint range employed in the present embodiment.
- the vertical axis represents the torque value, and a large number of horizontal lines indicate the torque restriction range.
- four constraints indicated by Constraint 1, Constraint 2, Constraint 3, and Constraint 4 are shown. Each constraint is translated from a different type of request. In other words, one constraint can be obtained from one request.
- Each constraint is composed of a multi-stage restriction range (three-stage restriction range in FIG. 2).
- One restriction range is composed of a pair of an upper limit value and a lower limit value of torque.
- the width of the horizontal line indicating the limit value is varied for each constraint range so that the correspondence between the upper limit value and the lower limit value is easily understood.
- the thickest horizontal line indicates the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the first constraint range
- the thickest horizontal line indicates the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second constraint range
- the thinnest horizontal line indicates the upper limit value of the third constraint range.
- the value and the lower limit are shown.
- the first constraint range is the most restrictive
- the second constraint range is the next most restrictive
- the third constraint range is the least restrictive. It is.
- the setting of the constraint range is different for each constraint, that is, for each request. This is because the allowable torque range varies depending on the type of request. For example, when Constraint 1 and Constraint 4 are compared, Constraint 4 is set to a lower value for the constraint range than Constraint 1. This means that the torque allowed in the request based on Constraint 4 is lower than the torque allowed in the request based on Constraint 1.
- the problem when there is a shift in the constraint range between the constraints, the problem is how to set the final constraint range. If the target torque is within a stricter constraint range in a relationship between a certain constraint and the target torque, the satisfaction of the request based on the constraint becomes high. On the other hand, if the target torque is only in a loose restriction range, the satisfaction of the requirement based on the restriction is low. Therefore, it is most desirable that the target torque falls within the strictest constraint range for all constraints. However, as is clear from the example shown in FIG. 2, it is easy to think that when taking the set of the most severe restriction ranges (first restriction ranges) of each restriction, the set becomes an empty set. It is done.
- each constraint is configured in a plurality of differently strict constraint ranges in this embodiment. Because. Even if the target torque deviates from the strictest first constraint range in some constraints, the requirement on which the constraint is based may be satisfied to some extent if it falls within the second strictest constraint range. it can. Further, if the target torque falls within the strictest first constraint range in most other constraints, the engine as a whole satisfies the requirement with high satisfaction. In the example shown in FIG. 2, torque ranges included in the first constraint ranges of Constraints 1, 2, and 3 and included in the second constraint range of Constraint 4 (ranges indicated by hatching in FIG. 2). Is set as the final constraint range. Then, the target torque is set within this final constraint range.
- various requirements related to engine performance are converted into a plurality of constraint ranges having different strictness of constraints, and reflected in the setting of the target torque via the constraints based on these constraint ranges. Is done. For this reason, it is not necessary for each request to be expressed in the form of a control value request value in advance.
- the final constraint range used to determine the target torque is determined based on the overlap of the constraint ranges between requests and the strictness of the constraints set in each constraint range. All demands including low demands are appropriately reflected in the target torque.
- the width of each constraint range there is no difference in the width of each constraint range between constraints.
- the width of the constraint range for each constraint can be narrowed only for Constraint 2 or the third constraint range can be widened.
- both the upper limit value and the lower limit value can be changed, or only one of the upper limit value and the lower limit value can be changed. How to set the width of the restriction range and the upper limit value / lower limit value may be determined according to the type and content of the request.
- the restriction ranges are provided in three stages, but the restriction ranges can be provided in more stages. From the viewpoint of the present invention, it is sufficient that there are a plurality of restriction ranges, and therefore it is allowed to provide only the first and second restriction ranges. It is also possible to vary the number of stages of the constraint range for each constraint, that is, for each request. For example, it is possible to set the constraint range to two stages only for Constrain 2, or conversely, only the constraint 2 can be set to four stages. The number of restriction ranges may be determined according to the type and content of the request.
- FIG. A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
- the configuration of the control device according to the present embodiment can be represented by the block diagram shown in FIG.
- the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the determination method of the torque restriction range used for determining the target torque.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining a method for determining a restriction range employed in the present embodiment.
- FIG. 3 shows four constraints (Constraints 1, 2, 3, 4) as in the first embodiment, but the contents are different from those in the first embodiment.
- each constraint is expressed as a set of constraint index values assigned for each torque value that is a controlled variable. More specifically, in each constraint, the torque range is divided into a plurality of bands (in the figure, 5 bands), 10 in the center band, 5 in the bands on both sides, and 2 in the outer bands. It is applied as a constraint index value.
- the constraint index value is set based on zero, and the larger the value, the more the torque value to which the constraint index value is applied means that the value is more suitable for the content of the request.
- the position of each band on the torque axis is different for each constraint, that is, for each request, and is set according to the type of request.
- the control device integrates the constraint index value assigned to each torque value for each constraint, that is, for each request, for each torque value.

Therefore, when the maximum value of the integrated constraint index value is given in a certain band, that band is the most suitable band for setting the target torque, that is, the torque constraint range. According to the distribution of the integration constraint index value shown in FIG. 3, since the maximum value of the integration constraint index value is 30, a band giving this maximum value of 30 is set as the torque limitation range. The target torque is set within this restricted range.
- various requests relating to engine performance are converted into a form of a restriction on the torque value, and are reflected in the setting of the target torque through the restriction. For this reason, it is not necessary for each request to be expressed in the form of a control value request value in advance. Further, since the satisfaction degree as a whole request for each torque value can be quantitatively evaluated according to the integration constraint index value, the target torque is determined based on the distribution of the integration constraint index value, so that the comparison All requests, including those with low priority, are appropriately reflected in the target torque.
- the target torque can be directed closer to the torque value within that band as the constraint index value applied to a certain band is increased.
- the target torque can be directed to deviate from the torque value within that band. Therefore, by making the value of the constraint index value applied to each band variable according to the type and content of the request, it is possible to finely adjust how each request is reflected in the target torque.

Therefore, when the minimum value of the integrated constraint index value is given in a certain band, that band is the most suitable band for setting the target torque, that is, the torque constraint range. According to the distribution of the integration constraint index value shown in FIG. 5, since the minimum value of the integration constraint index value is 10, the band giving this minimum value of 10 is set as the torque constraint range. The target torque is set within this restricted range.
- the value of the constraint index value applied to each band can be different for each constraint.
- An example is shown in FIG.
- the target torque can be directed to deviate from the torque value within that band as the constraint index value applied to a certain band is increased.
- the smaller the constraint index value applied to a certain band the closer the target torque can be to the torque value within that band. Therefore, by making the value of the constraint index value applied to each band variable according to the type and content of the request, it is possible to finely adjust how each request is reflected in the target torque.
