In this case, NO X is released into the atmosphere together with the exhaust.

- the ECU 4 changes the advance amount of the closing timing of the intake valve 19 at the time of switching to rich combustion according to the load of the internal combustion engine.
- FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the control executed when switching from normal combustion to rich combustion. This control is executed by the ECU 4.
- the control executed by the ECU 4 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
- This control is executed periodically or continuously during operation of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the ECU 4 refers to the accelerator opening degree, the rotational speed, etc. of the internal combustion engine 1 and extracts operating conditions (step S11).
- the ECU 4 determines whether or not rich combustion is necessary (step S12). Whether it is necessary to rich combustion is determined by the adsorption amount of the NO X in the reduction catalyst 9.
- the NO X adsorption amount may be calculated by any method, for example, a determination method based on a counter set based on an operation time or a travel distance, a determination method based on an accumulated fuel cut time, or the like. From the NO X adsorption amount calculated in this way, the ECU 4 determines that rich combustion is necessary when determining that the NO X adsorption reaches a saturated state.
- step S13 the ECU 4 next operates the variable valve mechanism 10 (step S13).
- the operating angle of the intake valve 19 changed by the variable valve mechanism 10 is determined based on the actual compression ratio corresponding to the required equivalence ratio ⁇ .
- the variable valve mechanism 10 realizes the above operating angle by changing the closing timing of the intake valve 19.
- the required equivalence ratio ⁇ varies depending on the state of the reduction catalyst 9, but in any case, rich combustion is performed. Therefore, the variable valve mechanism 10 operates to reduce the operating angle in order to reduce the amount of air taken into the cylinder 5.
- the opening timing (IVO) of the intake valve is constant, when the operating angle is determined, the closing timing (IVC) of the intake valve is determined.
- the ECU 4 operates the variable valve mechanism 10 so as to realize the determined IVC. At this time, the IVC advances more than during normal combustion.
- the equivalent ratio ⁇ is a value obtained by dividing the theoretical air-fuel ratio A / F st by the actual air-fuel ratio A / F.
- the ECU 4 estimates the actual compression ratio from the air-fuel ratio and the exhaust temperature (step S14).
- the specific operation is as follows.
- the ECU 4 acquires the exhaust temperature from the exhaust temperature sensor 7 and acquires the air-fuel ratio from the A / F sensor 8.
- the ECU 4 calculates the actual compression ratio based on the air-fuel ratio and the exhaust temperature with reference to a model formula or map that has been built in advance to calculate the actual compression ratio.
- FIG. 14 is shown as an example of expressing the map in two dimensions.
- FIG. 14A is an example showing the relationship between the exhaust temperature and the actual compression ratio
- FIG. 14B is an example showing the relationship between the air-fuel ratio and the actual compression ratio.
- the map is constructed so that the actual compression ratio increases as the exhaust gas temperature increases. Further, since the air ratio increases as the air-fuel ratio increases, the map is constructed so that the actual compression ratio decreases as the air-fuel ratio increases, as shown in FIG. 14B.
- the actual compression ratio is calculated by combining the relationships shown in FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b).
- the map for calculating the actual compression ratio may be a three-dimensional map or a four-dimensional map or more by adding factors other than the exhaust gas temperature and the air-fuel ratio, for example, the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine, the load, and the intake air temperature.
- step S15 determines whether or not the actual compression ratio has changed before and after the operation of the variable valve mechanism 10 (step S15). That is, it is determined whether the actual compression ratio estimated in step S14 has changed to the target value. If the ECU 4 makes a positive determination in step S15, it next increases the fuel injection amount (step S16). Here, the amount of fuel is increased to adjust the equivalent ratio optimal for regeneration of the reduction catalyst 9, and rich combustion is performed. If the ECU 4 makes a negative determination in step S15, it returns to step S13. When the process of step S16 is completed, a return is returned.
- step S12 If the ECU 4 makes a negative determination in step S12, it continues normal combustion (step S17). When processing is complete, a return is returned.
- FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an actual compression ratio that is changed by the process of step S13.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the relationship between the fuel injection amount, the actual compression ratio, and the misfire region when the air amount is constant. In FIG. 16, the condition C 0 before the control is changed to the target condition C 1 when it is determined that the rich combustion is necessary.
- FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the relationship between the actual compression ratio and the excess air ratio ⁇ when changing along the arrows (1) and (2) in FIG. The excess air ratio ⁇ is represented by the reciprocal of the equivalence ratio ⁇ .
- step S16 is always performed after step S13.
- the relationship between the load of the internal combustion engine 1 and the equivalence ratio ⁇ changed during the above control will be described. Since the internal combustion engine 1 is operated by changing the air-fuel ratio according to the load, the equivalence ratio is different when the load is different. For example, during normal combustion, the equivalence ratio ⁇ is about 0.3 at low load, and the air is in an excessively lean state. On the other hand, at a high load, the ratio of the fuel increases, and for example, the equivalence ratio ⁇ is about 0.7. However, when there is a regeneration request for the NO X reduction catalyst 9, switching to make the equivalent ratio ⁇ 1 or more is required regardless of the load level.
- the equivalent ratio ⁇ is changed from 0.3 to 1 or more under low load conditions, whereas the equivalent ratio ⁇ is required to be changed from 0.7 to 1 or more under high load conditions. Therefore, the amount of reduction in the intake air supplied into the cylinder differs between the low load condition and the high load condition. For this reason, it is necessary to change the closing timing of the intake valve 19 according to the load.
- FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the relationship between the torque (load) of the internal combustion engine 1 and the closing timing (IVC) of the intake valve 19.
- the solid line in FIG. 18 shows the case of normal combustion, and the broken line shows the case of rich combustion.
- the advance amount of the IVC increases. That is, when comparing the advance amount DerutaIVC H when the advance amount DerutaIVC L and high load T H at a low load T L, advance amount DerutaIVC L when low load T L is a high load T H It becomes larger than the advance amount DerutaIVC H when.
- the control device 100 can perform switching control in accordance with the load of the internal combustion engine 1 by changing the advance amount of the intake valve closing timing in accordance with the load of the internal combustion engine 1. In this way, the control device 100 realizes control suitable for the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine 1.

- a solid line in FIG. 24 shows an example of the embodiment, and a broken line shows an example of the comparison.
- the opening timings (IVO) of the three illustrated intake valves are the same timing. In rich combustion, the intake air amount is reduced, so a larger actual compression ratio is better. For this reason, it is desirable to close the intake valve near the BDC where the actual compression ratio becomes large.
- the IVC of the embodiment is slightly faster than the BDC, and the IVC of the comparative form is slightly slower than the BDC. IVC is much slower than BDC at valve timing without a variable valve mechanism.
- the actual compression ratio is increased by advancing IVC, so that the in-cylinder temperature is increased. As shown in FIG.
- the actual compression ratio becomes maximum at BDC, and when IVC is faster than BDC, the actual compression ratio decreases in principle.
- the IVC is slower than the BDC, the intake air temperature is lowered due to the blow-back of the intake air, whereas when the IVC is earlier than the BDC, the intake air temperature in the cylinder is maintained. Is done. For this reason, there exists an advantage which becomes hard to misfire.
- the IVC can be structurally set to be before BDC, but the amount of intake air decreases because the lift amount accompanying the reduction in the working angle decreases. As a result, there arises a problem that control becomes difficult such as easy misfire, and a problem that pump loss increases.
- the intake air amount does not greatly decrease, so that the IVC can be made before BDC.
- IVC since IVC can be set before BDC, it is possible to simultaneously change the actual compression ratio and the intake air amount.
- the control is to suppress misfire in normal combustion, the actual compression ratio can be changed and the misfire can be suppressed by changing the phase of the valve opening period of the intake valve.
- the throttle valve is throttled to reduce the intake air amount, but at the same time, the pump loss is increased.
- the amount of intake air can be adjusted, there is no need to worry about an increase in pump loss, which is a problem here.
- Criteria that determine the operable region of the internal combustion engine during rich combustion include temperature, equivalence ratio, HC generation amount, smoke amount, and volume during misfire. For example, if the temperature T COMP at the compression end in the cylinder is too low, misfire occurs and causes an increase in HC. In the operation region at the time of low load, in order to prevent misfire of the internal combustion engine 1, a target criterion is set for the HC generation amount as a threshold value of the rich combustion operation possible region. Since HC generation amount involved closely with the compression end temperature T COMP of the cylinder 5, the target criteria may be a compression end temperature T COMP in the cylinder 5.

- the point G in FIG. 25A relates to the embodiment in which the torque condition is equal to the point F.
- FIG. 26 shows lift curves at points E, F, and G in FIG.
- the actual compression ratio can be made higher than in the comparison form under the same torque condition.
- the in-cylinder temperature can be maintained high, and the compression end temperature T COMP can be increased.
- the compression end temperature T COMP of the embodiment is higher than that of the comparative embodiment under the same torque condition. .
- the compression end temperature T COMP can be increased, so that the operation can be further performed with the torque lowered. Therefore, operable area of the embodiment can be extended to the torque T 1.
- the target criterion is set for the amount of smoke generated as a threshold for the region where rich combustion can be operated. Since the amount of smoke generated is closely associated with the compression end temperature T COMP of the cylinder 5, the target criteria may be a compression end temperature T COMP in the cylinder 5.

- the point K in FIG. 27A relates to the embodiment in which the torque condition is equal to the point J.
- FIG. 28 shows lift curves at points H, J, and K in FIG.
- the amount of smoke generated is to exceed the target criteria CR S, the operable region to the torque T 4 or less.
- the torque T 4 is larger than the torque T 3 .
- the lift curve of the comparison point of the J point and the lift curve of the embodiment of the K point in the torque T 3 are compared, the lift curve of the K point is more than the lift curve of the J point. Since the lift amount is high, IVC can be retarded.
- the actual compression ratio can be made lower than in the comparison form under the same torque condition. For this reason, the temperature in a cylinder can be reduced and compression end temperature TCOMP can be made low. This result is also reflected in FIG. 27A, and in the high load region (torque is T 0 or more), the compression end temperature T COMP of the embodiment is lower than that of the comparative embodiment under the same torque condition. . In this way, in the embodiment, the compression end temperature T COMP can be lowered, so that the torque can be further increased. Therefore, operable area of the embodiment can be extended to the torque T 4.
- the lift amount increases as the IVC retards, so the intake air amount increases and the rich combustion condition cannot be maintained.
- the maximum lift amount is constant even if the IVC is retarded, the amount of increase in intake air is small and the rich combustion condition can be maintained.

- This mechanism is realized by, for example, a method including a cam having a plurality of nose portions or a method of changing the rotational speed of the cam.
- the swirl tends to be strong. For this reason, in the embodiment, the demand for weakening the swirl at a lower load is higher than in the comparative embodiment.
- FIG. 37 is a diagram showing a swirl flow when the cylinder 70 of the internal combustion engine 1 is viewed in the axial direction.
- FIG. 37 shows intake ports 71a and 71b and exhaust ports 72a and 72b.

- FIG. 39 is a diagram showing an execution region S of the operation of opening the exhaust valve during the intake stroke.
- a counterclockwise swirl is formed in the cylinder 70.
- the exhaust valve of the exhaust port 72b located on the upstream side of the swirl flow among the adjacent exhaust ports is driven by the lift curve shown in FIG. This opens the exhaust port so as to oppose the swirl flow during the intake stroke.
- air EGR gas
- the opening timing of the exhaust valve during the intake stroke is made to coincide with an angle (ATDC 90 ° CA) delayed by 90 ° from the top dead center.
- ATDC 90 ° CA is the time when the piston speed is the fastest. That is, the time when the lift amount of the exhaust valve becomes maximum coincides with the time when the piston speed becomes the fastest. As a result, the inflow amount of air from the exhaust port increases, and a high effect is exhibited in canceling out swirl.
- the exhaust valve shown in FIG. 38 cannot be driven.
- the operation of opening the exhaust valve during the intake stroke is performed in the region S in which the generation of HC is suppressed. In the torque region where the occurrence of smoke is required to be suppressed, the exhaust valve opening operation in the intake stroke is not performed.

- FIG. 41 is a diagram showing the relationship between the opening timing (IVO) of the intake valve and the load (average effective pressure) according to the sixth embodiment.
- the solid line in FIG. 41 shows the state during normal combustion, and the broken line shows the state during rich combustion.
- the control device retards the working angle by retarding IVO as the load increases. This is because it is desired to secure a certain amount of intake air when the load is high. Further, the control device retards the working angle of the intake valve by retarding the IVO at the time of rich combustion than at the time of normal combustion.

Thereby, misfire at the time of switching to rich combustion is suppressed, and jump of the intake valve 19 is suppressed.

Abstract
Description
図2は本実施の形態において説明する実施の形態の内燃機関1の制御装置100の図である。図2に示すように、内燃機関(エンジン)1は、吸気系2、排気系3、可変動弁機構10、ECU(Electronic Control Unit)4を備えている。内燃機関1には複数(ここでは4つ)の気筒5が直列に配置されている。なお、ここでは気筒数を4つとしているが、気筒数はいくつでもあっても構わない。各気筒5のそれぞれには、気筒5内へ燃料を噴射する燃料噴射弁6が設けられている。排気系3には排気温度を検出する排気温度センサ7と、空燃比を検出するA/Fセンサ8とが設置されている。排気温度センサ7として、例えば熱電対を採用することができる。また、排気系3の排気温度センサ7、A/Fセンサ8の下流側に還元触媒9が設けられている。還元触媒9は、燃料がリーン燃焼する場合に排気中に含まれるNOXを吸着して排気を浄化する。反対に、燃料がリッチ燃焼する場合に、吸着したNOXを窒素ガスN2へ還元し、大気へ放出する。還元触媒9は、NOXの吸着量が飽和状態に達すると排気中のNOXを吸着することができなくなるが、リッチ燃焼することによりNOX吸着能力が再生し、再びNOXの吸着が可能となる。
次に、比較の形態の可変動弁機構50について説明する。比較の形態の可変動弁機構50は、バルブのリフト量を変更することによりバルブの作用角を変更する機構である。上記、比較の形態の可変動弁機構50は、実施の形態で説明した可変動弁機構10に代えて、内燃機関1に搭載することができる。図10、図11は比較の形態の可変動弁機構50の概要を示した図である。図10は、吸気弁68のリフト量を小さくしたときの構成を示し、図11は吸気弁68のリフト量を大きくしたときの構成を示している。図10、図11ともに、(a)は吸気弁68が閉弁した状態を示し、(b)は吸気弁68が開弁した状態を示している。
次に、本発明の実施例1について説明する。本実施例1では、可変動弁機構10は、吸気弁19の開き時期を一定のまま作用角を変更する。また、ECU4は、リッチ燃焼への切替え時における吸気弁19の閉じ時期の進角量を内燃機関の負荷に応じて変更する。ここでは、実施の形態の内燃機関1の制御装置100において、内燃機関1の燃焼状態が通常燃焼からリッチ燃焼へ切替える際に実行される制御について説明する。図13は、通常燃焼からリッチ燃焼への切替え時に実行される制御を示したフローチャートである。この制御は、ECU4により実行される。以下、図13のフローチャートを参照して、ECU4が実行する制御について説明する。
次に、実施の形態における効果を比較の形態と比較しながら説明する。まず、実施の形態と比較の形態のバルブリフトの関係について説明する。図19は、実施の形態と比較の形態とにおける吸気弁の最大リフト量とトルクとの関係を示した図である。図19中の実線は実施の形態について示し、破線は比較の形態について示している。比較の形態は作用角を変更する場合、最大リフト量も変更することになるが、トルクに応じて作用角を変更するため、吸気弁のリフト量もトルクに応じて変化する。一方、実施の形態では、作用角に関わらず最大リフト量は一定である。実施の形態と比較の形態とのバルブリフトの関係は、図19に示すように、出力点Pにおいて比較の形態の最大リフト量が実施の形態の最大リフト量に一致するように設定されている。
続いて、リッチ燃焼時の運転可能な領域について、比較の形態と比較しながら説明する。リッチ燃焼時の内燃機関の運転可能領域を決定するクライテリアとして、失火時の温度、当量比、HC発生量、スモーク量、音量が挙げられる。例えば、筒内の圧縮端の温度TCOMPが低すぎると、失火し、HCの増大を引き起こす。低負荷時の運転領域では、内燃機関1の失火を防ぐため、リッチ燃焼の運転可能領域の閾値としてHC発生量に目標クライテリアを設定する。HC発生量は気筒5内の圧縮端温度TCOMPと密接に関わるため、目標クライテリアは気筒5内の圧縮端温度TCOMPとしてもよい。
次に、本発明の実施例2について説明する。図30は本実施例2の内燃機関201の制御装置200の図である。内燃機関201は、実施例1の内燃機関1とほぼ同様の構成をしている。内燃機関201は、実施例1の内燃機関1と比較すると、排気系3に排気温度センサとA/Fセンサを備えていない。その代わりに、各気筒5に筒内圧センサ202を備えている。筒内圧センサ202は気筒5内の筒内圧力を検出する。筒内圧センサ202とECU4とは電気的に接続されており、筒内圧センサ202で検出された筒内圧力はECU4に取り込まれる。その他の構成は実施例1の内燃機関1と同様なのでその詳細な説明は省略し、図30中同一の番号を付す。
次に、本発明の実施例3について説明する。本実施例3の内燃機関の制御装置は実施例1の制御装置100と同様の構成をしている。以降、同様の構成について同一の参照番号を付し説明し、同一の構成要素についての詳細な説明は省略する。本実施例3の制御装置100は、リッチ燃焼時の吸気弁19のバルブタイミングの設定をさらに限定した制御装置である。
次に、実施例4について説明する。実施例4では、バルブオーバーラップを考慮した制御について説明する。本実施例4の内燃機関の制御装置は実施例1の制御装置100と同様の構成をしている。以降、同様の構成について同一の参照番号を付し説明し、同一の構成要素についての詳細な説明は省略する。本実施例4では、排気側にも排気弁の閉じ時期(EVC)を変更する可変動弁機構(図示しない)が設けられている。排気側の可変動弁機構は、上記説明した可変動弁機構10、50やその他いずれの形態であってもよい。図35は低負荷のリッチ燃焼条件下での実施の形態と比較の形態のオーバーラップ時のリフト量を比較した図である。図35中の実線は、実施の形態の吸気弁19のリフトカーブを示し、破線は比較の形態の吸気弁68のリフトカーブを示し、点線は、排気弁のリフトカーブを示している。排気弁については実施の形態も比較の形態も同様である。吸気弁のリフト量の最大値の設定の関係上、実施の形態では、比較の形態と比較して、作用角縮小時に吸気弁19のリフト量が高い。図35に示すように、実施の形態は最大リフト量一定のまま吸気弁19の閉じ時期を変更するため、低負荷時のリッチ燃焼条件下では、オーバーラップ期間中の吸気弁19のリフト量ΔL1が比較の形態のリフト量ΔL2よりも大きくなる。この結果、吸気ポートへの吸入空気の吹き戻しが増加し、内部EGRが増加するので筒内温度が上昇する。一方、高負荷ではスモーク発生量が許容値を超えることが考えられる。
次に実施例5について説明する。実施例5では、排気弁を2回開弁する動作について説明する。本実施例5の内燃機関は、1気筒あたり、吸気弁と排気弁とを2本ずつ備えた4バルブの内燃機関である。内燃機関には上記の実施の形態で説明した制御装置100が組み込まれている。なお、その他の構成は実施例1と同様であるため、以降の説明中同一の参照番号を付し、その詳細な説明は省略する。内燃機関1の筒内には、スワールが生み出されるようになっている。スワールは、吸気ポートの構成による方法、吸気弁の開弁時期の制御による方法、その他いずれの方法により生成されてもよい。さらに、本実施例5の内燃機関は、排気弁が通常の排気行程の他に、吸気行程において開弁する機構を備えている。この機構は、例えば、ノーズ部分を複数有するカムを備える方法やカムの回転速度を変更する方法などにより実現される。特に、実施の形態では、比較の形態に比べてリフト量が大きいため、スワールが強くなる傾向がある。このため、実施の形態では、比較の形態に比べ、より低負荷時のスワールを弱めるための要求が高まる。
次に、本発明の実施例6について説明する。本実施例6の内燃機関の制御装置は実施例1の制御装置100とほぼ同様の構成をしている。ただし、本実施例6の内燃機関において、可変動弁機構10の構造が実施例1の構造と異なっている。図40は、本実施例6における吸気弁のリフトカーブを示した図である。図40中の実線は大作用角のリフトカーブを示し、破線は小作用角のリフトカーブを示している。本実施例6の可変動弁機構は、図40に示すように、IVCを一定に保ちながら作用角を変更するように構成されている。また、一定とするIVCは、実圧縮比が最大となる条件が選択されている。図41は、本実施例6の吸気弁の開き時期(IVO)と負荷(平均有効圧力)との関係を示した図である。図41中の実線は通常燃焼時の状態を示し、破線はリッチ燃焼時の状態を示している。図41に示すように、制御装置は、負荷が大きくなるほどIVOを遅角して作用角を縮小する。これは、高負荷時にはある程度の吸入空気量を確保したいためである。また、制御装置は、リッチ燃焼時には通常燃焼時よりもIVOを遅角して、吸気弁の作用角を縮小する。
次に、実施例7について説明する。実施例7では、吸気弁19のジャンプの回避について説明する。本実施例7の内燃機関の制御装置は実施例1の制御装置100と同様の構成をしている。また、本実施例7の内燃機関の制御装置は実施例2の制御装置200としてもよい。以降、同様の構成については同一の参照番号を付して説明し、同一の構成要素についての詳細な説明は省略する。実施の形態では、作用角を小さくしすぎると吸気弁19がジャンプをする。このため、吸気弁19のジャンプを回避するように、作用角が設定される。図44は吸気弁19のジャンプを回避するために構築したマップの一例である。図44の縦軸は吸気弁19の作用角を示し、横軸は内燃機関1の回転数を示している。図44中の斜線の領域では、吸気弁19がジャンプをするので、この領域内で動作しないように、吸気弁19の作用角が設定されている。これにより、リッチ燃焼への切替え時の失火を抑制するとともに、吸気弁19のジャンプが抑制される。
