More specifically, as indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3, the intake valve 24 opens at a predetermined timing on the advance side with respect to the exhaust top dead center and then at a predetermined timing on the retard side with respect to the intake bottom dead center. It is set to close. Further, as indicated by a solid line in FIG. 3, the exhaust valve 28 is set to open at a predetermined time on the advance side from the expansion bottom dead center and then close at a predetermined time on the retard side from the exhaust top dead center.

- valve stop control is performed on the intake valve 24 and the exhaust valve 28 is driven to open and close as usual, the cylinder 14 is discharged from the cylinder 14 during the exhaust stroke and then the cylinder 14 is connected to the intake passage 20. And after being cut off from the exhaust passage 22, the expansion stroke comes through the intake stroke and the compression stroke. As a result, in the expansion stroke, the inside of the cylinder 14 is greatly reduced in pressure as the piston 16 is lowered. Then, the exhaust valve 28 is opened during the expansion stroke in which the cylinder 14 has a negative pressure. For this reason, at the moment when the exhaust valve 28 is opened, the inside of the branch pipe portion 22b1 of the exhaust manifold 22b corresponding to the cylinder to which the exhaust valve 28 belongs becomes negative pressure.
- the branch pipe portion 22b1 is also maintained in a negative pressure state.

If it is determined, the operating state of the exhaust valve 28 is switched to the valve operating state. As described above, when the valve stop control is executed for the intake valve 24 and the exhaust valve 28 is driven to open and close as usual, the exhaust gas is exhausted during the “negative pressure generation period” shown in FIG. A negative pressure is generated in each branch pipe portion 22b1 of the manifold 22b.
- each branch pipe portion 22b1 of the exhaust manifold 22b becomes positive pressure. Accordingly, since the check valve 50 is closed, the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 during normal operation of the internal combustion engine 10 is maintained in a negative pressure state.
- the intake valve 24 As described above, according to the configuration of the present embodiment including the exhaust-side negative pressure passages 46 and 54, the negative pressure accumulation tank 48, the check valve 50, the spring 52, and the negative pressure switching valve 56, the intake valve 24
- the negative pressure generated in the cylinder 14 in the exhaust passage 22
- the intake valve 24 by setting the intake valve 24 to the closed stop state, it is possible to ensure the brake negative pressure while reliably blocking the fresh air inflow to the catalyst 58.

- the configuration of the present embodiment described above is useful in the following situation. That is, when the brake pedal is depressed immediately after the accelerator pedal is depressed to start the vehicle, the throttle valve is still open, so that the negative pressure in the intake manifold is low. Become. According to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, even in such a case, the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 is stored in the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 by switching the negative pressure switching valve 56 so as to communicate with the brake booster 40. The negative pressure that can be used. As a result, the braking performance immediately after the vehicle starts can be sufficiently secured.
- the opening / closing means in the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.
- the inside of the exhaust passage 22 (branch pipe portion 22b1) has a negative pressure based on the crank angle detected by the crank angle sensor 62.
- the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 communicate with each other via the first exhaust side negative pressure passage 46, the exhaust passage 22 (branch tube portion 22b1) is exhausted when the pressure in the exhaust passage 22 (branch pipe portion 22b1) is equal to or higher than the atmospheric pressure.
- a valve (such as an electromagnetic valve) controlled to shut off the passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 may be used.
- the opening / closing means in the present invention is limited to one that is set or controlled so as to switch the communication between the exhaust passage and the pressure accumulating tank according to whether the pressure in the exhaust passage is negative or higher than the atmospheric pressure.
- I can't. That is, for example, when the exhaust passage 22 (branch pipe portion 22b1) has a negative pressure higher than a predetermined value, the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulation tank 48 are communicated with each other via the first exhaust-side negative pressure passage 46.
- a valve a check valve or an electromagnetic valve
- the communication between the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulator tank 48 is switched between connection and disconnection with a negative pressure value (above the predetermined value) lower than the atmospheric pressure as a threshold value, so that the negative pressure value is increased when the pressure in the exhaust passage 22 rises.
- the negative pressure in the pressure accumulating tank 48 can be reliably prevented from decreasing.
- the opening / closing means in the present invention is not limited to the above-described configuration.
- the exhaust valve 28 when the exhaust valve 28 is opened, the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 are communicated with each other via the first exhaust side negative pressure passage 46. It may be a valve (such as an electromagnetic valve) that is set or controlled so that the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 are shut off when 16 reaches the vicinity of the expansion bottom dead center.
- the timing at which the inside of the cylinder 14 is switched from negative pressure to positive pressure changes due to the inertia of the gas flowing into the cylinder 14 from the exhaust passage 22 when the exhaust valve 28 is opened. Therefore, the timing for shutting off the exhaust passage 22 and the negative pressure accumulating tank 48 in the vicinity of the expansion bottom dead center may be made variable according to the engine speed.
- connection destination of the communication path in the present invention is not limited to the exhaust path. That is, the communication path of the present invention may be configured to communicate with the cylinder 14 of the internal combustion engine 10 during a period in which negative pressure is generated.

- the configuration of the present invention is not limited to this. That is, for example, an exhaust side negative pressure passage in which a pressure accumulation tank is provided in the middle may be directly connected to the brake booster without joining the intake side negative pressure passage. Furthermore, the structure by which the exhaust side negative pressure channel
- the description has been given by taking as an example a configuration including a valve stop mechanism capable of performing valve stop control on both the intake valve 24 and the exhaust valve 28.

図1に示すように、本実施形態の車両は、内燃機関10を備えている。ここでは、内燃機関10は、その一例として、直列4気筒型エンジンであるものとする。内燃機関10のシリンダブロック12の内部には、4つのシリンダ14が形成されている。それぞれのシリンダ14内には、ピストン16が設けられている。シリンダブロック12の上部には、シリンダヘッド18が取り付けられている。シリンダヘッド18には、それぞれのシリンダ14内の燃焼室14aと連通するように、吸気通路20の吸気ポート20aおよび排気通路22の排気ポート22aが形成されている。
図1、2に示すように、内燃機関10の排気通路22は、排気ポート22aに接続された排気マニホールド22bを備えている。排気マニホールド22bには、第1排気側負圧通路46の一端が接続されている。より具体的には、図2に示すように、第1排気側負圧通路46は、排気マニホールド22bにおける気筒毎の枝管部22b1のそれぞれに対して備えられている。
また、第1排気側負圧通路46および第2排気側負圧通路54が前記第2乃至第4の発明における「排気側負圧通路」に、負圧蓄圧タンク48が前記第2の発明における「蓄圧タンク」に、逆止弁50およびスプリング52が前記第2の発明における「開閉手段」に、それぞれ相当している。
また、負圧切替バルブ56が前記第5の発明における「通路切替手段」に相当している。
