Definitions
- the present invention relates to a control device for an internal combustion engine that performs exhaust gas recirculation and performs air-fuel ratio control in accordance with the detection result of exhaust gas oxygen concentration.
- air-fuel ratio control for controlling the air-fuel ratio (ratio of air to fuel) of an air-fuel mixture combusted in a cylinder is known as control applied to an on-board internal combustion engine.
- the air-fuel ratio control is performed by obtaining the air-fuel ratio of the burned air-fuel mixture from the detection result of the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, and feedback adjusting the fuel injection amount so that the obtained air-fuel ratio becomes a target value.
- an apparatus described in Patent Document 1 is known as a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine that performs air-fuel ratio control.
- the main air-fuel ratio sensor is arranged upstream of the catalyst provided in the exhaust pipe, and the sub oxygen sensor is arranged downstream thereof. Then, main feedback control is performed to feed back the output of the main air-fuel ratio sensor to the fuel injection amount so that the control air-fuel ratio upstream of the catalyst matches the target air-fuel ratio. Further, sub-feedback control for feeding back the output of the sub oxygen sensor to the fuel injection amount is performed so that the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst becomes the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
- the air-fuel ratio range in which the catalyst can appropriately purify the exhaust gas that is, the window
- the air-fuel ratio optimum for exhaust purification changes closer to rich. This is due to the following reason. That is, during a high load operation, the oxygen inflow amount per unit time of the catalyst increases.
- the oxygen occlusion of the catalyst is a physical phenomenon, and its speed is very fast.
- the speed is slow. Therefore, when a large amount of oxygen flows into the catalyst, the oxygen concentration in the catalyst increases, and the window changes closer to rich.
- exhaust gas recirculation EGR: Exhaust Gas Recirculation
- EGR Exhaust Gas Recirculation
- the inert exhaust gas is added during the intake air. Therefore, if the load is the same, the oxygen inflow amount of the catalyst per unit time is constant regardless of whether or not the EGR is introduced. Therefore, if there is no change in the engine load, the window should not change regardless of the introduction of EGR.
- the window changes depending on the introduction status of EGR, contrary to the conventional common sense.
- FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the engine speed and EKACAT in two cases, EGR introduction and non-introduction.
- EKACAT is a parameter indicating the saturation value of the feedback integral term of the air-fuel ratio control when steady operation is performed with the rotational speed and load being constant, and the value increases as the window becomes richer.
- the relationship between the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and the control air-fuel ratio optimum for exhaust purification is expressed by the following equation (1) when this EKACAT is used.
- Theoretical air-fuel ratio ⁇ 1 / (1 + EKACAT) control air-fuel ratio (1)
- EKACAT the air-fuel ratio window in which exhaust purification can be performed appropriately varies greatly depending on whether or not EGR is introduced.
- EKACAT value decreases as the EGR amount increases, and the window shifts to the lean side.
- the presence or absence of the introduction of EGR should not affect the window, and the mechanism resulting from this has not been elucidated at present.

- Engine control is performed so as to obtain a value indicating this. Therefore, the control air-fuel ratio follows the window transition according to the introduction of EGR. Therefore, according to the control apparatus for an internal combustion engine of the present invention, more accurate air-fuel ratio control can be performed according to the introduction status of EGR.
- the engine control as described above can be executed by adjusting the target air-fuel ratio in accordance with the EGR introduction status. More specifically, when EGR is introduced, the target air-fuel ratio is set to a lean value as compared to when it is not introduced, or the target air-fuel ratio is changed to a lean value as the EGR amount increases.
- the engine control as described above can be performed.
- another internal combustion engine control apparatus is an internal combustion engine control apparatus that performs exhaust gas recirculation and performs air-fuel ratio control according to the detection result of the oxygen concentration of exhaust gas. Feedback according to the state of introduction of exhaust gas recirculation is performed with respect to the target air-fuel ratio in the air-fuel ratio control.
- the window that is, the range of the air-fuel ratio that can appropriately purify the exhaust gas changes. Therefore, if the feedback according to the EGR introduction status is performed on the target air-fuel ratio in the air-fuel ratio control, the target air-fuel ratio can be made to follow the change in the window according to the EGR introduction status. . Therefore, according to the control apparatus for an internal combustion engine of the present invention, more accurate air-fuel ratio control according to the introduction status of EGR can be performed.
- the feedback of the EGR introduction status with respect to the target air-fuel ratio in the air-fuel ratio control can be performed by setting the target air-fuel ratio to a leaner value when EGR is introduced than when it is not introduced. Such feedback can also be performed by changing the target air-fuel ratio to a leaner value as the EGR amount increases.

Abstract
Description
理論空燃比×1/(1+EKAFCAT)=制御空燃比 …(1)
同図に示すように、EKAFCATの値は、すなわち排気浄化を適切に行える空燃比のウィンドウは、EGR導入の有無によって大きく変化する。なお、こうした傾向は、構成の異なる複数種の内燃機関において確認されている。
また、図6に示すように、EGR量が増大するほど、EKAFCATの値が小さくなり、ウィンドウがリーン側に遷移することが確認されている。なお上述したように、理論的には、EGR導入の有無は、ウィンドウに影響を与えない筈であり、こうした結果となるメカニズムについては、現在のところ未解明となっている。
以下、本発明に係る内燃機関の制御装置を具体化した第1の実施の形態を、図1~図3を参照して詳細に説明する。なお、本実施の形態の制御装置は、車載用の内燃機関に適用されている。
(1)本実施の形態では、EGRを行うともに、排気の酸素濃度の検出結果に応じた空燃比制御を行う内燃機関において、電子制御ユニット20は、EGR量の導入時には、非導入時に比して、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値が、よりリーンな空燃比であることを示す値となるように機関制御を実行するようにしている。上述したように、EGR量の増大につれて、ウィンドウ、すなわち排気を適切に浄化可能な空燃比の範囲がリーン側に遷移することが確認されている。その点、本実施の形態では、EGRの導入時には、非導入時に比して、排気管3に設けられたフロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値がよりリーンな空燃比であることを示す値となるように機関制御が行われる。そのため、本実施の形態では、EGRの導入に応じたウィンドウの遷移に制御空燃比が追従されるようになり、EGRの導入状況に応じたより的確な空燃比制御が行われるようになる。
続いて、本発明の内燃機関の制御装置を具体化した第2の実施の形態を、図4を併せ参照して詳細に説明する。なお、本実施の形態は、目標空燃比設定ルーチンの内容が相違する以外は、第1の実施の形態のものと共通した構成となっている。よって、第1の実施の形態のものと、同一の機能を有する部材については、同一の符号を付してその詳細な説明は省略する。
EABYFREF=γ×G(NE,KL)+(1-γ)×F(NE,KL) …(2)
以上説明した本実施の形態によれば、次の効果を奏することができる。
・上記実施の形態では、EGRの導入状況に応じた目標空燃比の操作を通じて、EGR量が多いときには、少ないときに比して、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値が、よりリーンな空燃比であることを示す値となるような機関制御を実行するようにしていた。こうした機関制御は、以下のA.~D.に示される態様によっても行うことが可能である。
空燃比フィードバック補正とは別に、EGRの導入状況に応じた燃料噴射量の補正を行うことによっても、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値を調整することができる。そこでEGRの導入状況に応じて燃料噴射量を補正することでも、上記のような機関制御を実行することができる。具体的には、EGRの導入時には、非導入時に比して燃料噴射量を減量するようにしたり、EGR量の増大に応じて燃料噴射量を減量したりすることで、上記のような機関制御を行うことが可能である。
排気管3に設けられた酸素センサー15の出力のリッチ/リーンの判定値の操作によっても、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値を調整することができる。例えば上記判定値をリーン側に寄せると、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値をリーン側にずらすことができる。そこで、酸素センサー15出力のリッチ/リーンの判定値をEGRの導入状況に応じて変更することによっても、上記のような機関制御を実行することができる。具体的には、EGRの導入時には、非導入時に比して、上記判定値をリーン側の値としたり、EGR量の増大に応じて上記判定値をリーン側の値に変更したりすることで、上記のような機関制御を行うことが可能である。
空燃比制御における燃料噴射量のフィードバックゲインの操作によっても、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値を調整することができる。例えば空燃比をリーン側に変化させるときのフィードバックゲインを大きくすれば、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値はリーン側に遷移するようになる。そこで、空燃比制御における燃料噴射量のフィードバックゲインをEGRの導入状況に応じて変更することによっても、上記のような機関制御を実行することができる。具体的には、EGRの導入時には、非導入時に比して空燃比をリーン側に変化させるときのフィードバックゲインを大きくしたり、空燃比をリーン側に変化させるときのフィードバックゲインをEGR量の増大に応じて大きくしたりすることで、上記のような機関制御を行うことが可能である。
空燃比センサー13の出力を補正することによっても、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値を調整することができる。例えば空燃比センサー13の出力をリーン側に補正したものに基づいて空燃比のメインフィードバックを行えば、フロント触媒14の上流における空燃比の検出値はリーン側に遷移するようになる。そこで、空燃比センサー13の出力をEGRの導入状況に応じて補正することでも、上記のような機関制御を実行することができる。具体的には、EGRの導入時には、空燃比センサー13の出力をリーン側に補正したり、EGR量の増大に応じて空燃比センサー13の出力のリーン側への補正量を大きくしたりすることで、上記のような機関制御を行うことが可能である。
