That is, the fuel composition ratio estimation unit 114 compares the first candidate group selected based on the relative dielectric constant ⁇ with the second candidate group selected based on the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F.
- the common term between the one candidate group and the second candidate group is searched. When a common term exists, the value in the common term is calculated as an estimated value of each of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm.
- the fuel composition ratio estimation unit 114 thus estimates the composition ratio of the mixed fuel composed of the three types of fuel.
- composition ratio of the mixed fuel can be estimated, the fuel injection amount and the ignition timing can be properly corrected in the air-fuel ratio control and the ignition timing control. For this reason, driving performance can be improved and emission performance can be maintained optimally.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a fuel property estimation routine executed by ECU 100 in the first embodiment.
- ECU 100 first determines whether the calculation condition of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is satisfied (S100). When the ECU 100 determines that the calculation condition of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is not satisfied, this routine ends.
- the ECU 100 next determines whether or not the measurement condition for the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is satisfied (S102). When the ECU 100 determines that the measurement condition for the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is not satisfied, this routine ends.
- the ECU 100 calculates the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F and measures the relative permittivity ⁇ (S104). Specifically, the ECU 100 calculates the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F from the intake air amount and the fuel injection amount when the signal of the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 shows stoichiometry, and the relative dielectric constant from the signal of the alcohol concentration sensor 34. ⁇ is measured.
- the ECU 100 collates the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F calculated in step S104 with the second table, and collates the measured relative dielectric constant ⁇ with the first table, thereby determining the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration.
- Each candidate group of Cm is selected (S106). Specifically, for example, when the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is 10, a candidate group indicated by a broken line P in the graph (a) of FIG. 2 is selected. When the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is 20, a candidate group indicated by the solid line R in the graph (b) of FIG. 2 is selected.
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not there is a common term between the candidate groups selected in S106 (S108). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a candidate group indicated by a broken line P and a solid line R is selected, it is determined whether or not there is a common term between these candidate groups. As a matter of course, the mixing ratio of each fuel component does not become smaller than 0%. Therefore, the search for the common term is performed within a predetermined range in which the mixing ratio of each fuel component does not become smaller than 0%.
- the ECU 100 determines that a sensor abnormality has occurred in at least one of the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 and the alcohol concentration sensor 34 (S112).
- the reason why the common term does not exist within the predetermined range is that at least one of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F and the relative dielectric constant ⁇ shows an abnormal value. If the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is an abnormal value, there is a high possibility that some abnormality has occurred in the air-fuel ratio sensor 28. If the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is an abnormal value, there is a high possibility that some abnormality has occurred in the alcohol concentration sensor 34. If it is determined in S112 that a sensor abnormality has occurred, the ECU 100 sets a flag for OBD (self-diagnosis on board). Thereafter, this routine ends.
- OBD self-diagnosis on board
- the ECU 100 uses the values of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm in the common term as estimated values of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm of the currently used mixed fuel. Calculate (S110). This corresponds to the coordinates CeT and CmT of the intersection T in FIG.
- the ECU 100 calculates an estimated value of the gasoline concentration from each estimated value of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm. Thereby, the component ratio of the mixed fuel which consists of three types of fuel is estimated. Thereafter, this routine ends.
- the mixed fuel used in the engine to which the fuel property estimating apparatus of the present invention is applied is not limited to the fuel in which gasoline, methanol, and ethanol are mixed.
- the hydrocarbon fuel light oil may be used instead of gasoline.
- propanol, isobutanol, etc. may be used as alcohol to mix.
- a mixed fuel in which three kinds of alcohols having different properties are mixed may be used. This modification can be similarly applied to Embodiment 2 described later.
- the relative permittivity is used as the physical property value of the fuel in the first embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the composition ratio of the mixed fuel may be estimated using physical properties such as the density, viscosity, and absorption wavelength intensity by optical analysis. This modification can be similarly applied to Embodiment 2 described later.
- the alcohol concentration sensor 34 to the fuel injection valve 18 than the calculation time of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F. It is also possible to use the relative dielectric constant ⁇ measured in the past by the amount of fuel movement time. Thereby, it is possible to eliminate the influence of the time delay from when the relative permittivity ⁇ of the mixed fuel is measured by the alcohol concentration sensor 34 until the component ratio of the mixed fuel is reflected in the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F. Therefore, the composition ratio of the mixed fuel can be accurately estimated. This modification can be similarly applied to Embodiment 2 described later.
- the place where the alcohol concentration sensor 34 is attached is not limited to the fuel pipe 36. It is sufficient that the fuel path reaches the fuel injection valve 18, and the alcohol concentration sensor 34 can be attached in the fuel tank 30. This modification can be similarly applied to Embodiment 2 described later.

- the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 is the “second sensor” in the first invention.
- the relative permittivity measuring unit 112 is the “physical property value measuring means” in the first invention

- the vertical axis of the graph (b) in FIG. 5 shows the theoretical air-fuel ratio value of the fuel.
- the horizontal axis of the graph (b) in FIG. 5 shows the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm of the mixed fuel.
- the broken line X in the graph (b) of FIG. 5 is a broken line that represents the theoretical air-fuel ratio value that varies depending on the methanol concentration in the fuel in which gasoline and methanol are mixed. As shown on the left vertical axis, when the methanol concentration in the fuel is 0%, that is, when the gasoline concentration is 100%, the theoretical air-fuel ratio value is 14.7. On the other hand, when the methanol concentration in the fuel is 100%, the theoretical air-fuel ratio value is 6.4. For this reason, in the case of a fuel in which gasoline and methanol are mixed, when the methanol concentration changes from 0% to 100%, the theoretical air-fuel ratio value changes from 14.7 to 6.4. The broken line X represents this relationship.

- the fuel composition ratio estimation unit 114 calculates the estimated values of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm by substituting the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F and the relative dielectric constant ⁇ into the equation of this solution, and the ethanol concentration Ce and An estimated value of gasoline concentration is calculated from each estimated value of methanol concentration Cm. Thereby, the component ratio of the mixed fuel which consists of three types of fuel is estimated.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a fuel property estimation routine executed by ECU 100 in the second embodiment.
- ECU 100 first determines whether or not the calculation condition of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is satisfied (S200). When the ECU 100 determines that the calculation condition of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is not satisfied, this routine ends.
- the ECU 100 next determines whether or not the measurement condition for the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is satisfied (S202). When the ECU 100 determines that the measurement condition for the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is not satisfied, this routine ends.
- the ECU 100 executes the calculation of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F and the measurement of the relative permittivity ⁇ (S204). Specifically, the ECU 100 calculates the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F from the intake air amount and the fuel injection amount when the signal of the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 shows stoichiometry, and the relative dielectric constant from the signal of the alcohol concentration sensor 34. ⁇ is measured.
- the ECU 100 uses the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F obtained in step S204 and the relative dielectric constant ⁇ as parameters, and converts the simultaneous equations composed of the first equation and the second equation into the ethanol concentration Ce and methanol.
- the concentration Cm is solved (S206).
- the ECU 100 determines whether or not the solution of the simultaneous equations obtained in S206 is an effective value (S208). Naturally, the mixing ratio of each fuel component does not become smaller than 0%. Therefore, when a solution is obtained in which the mixing ratio of any fuel component is smaller than 0%, the solution is not determined to be an effective value.
- the ECU 100 determines that a sensor abnormality has occurred in at least one of the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 and the alcohol concentration sensor 34 (S212).
- the reason why the solution of the simultaneous equations does not become an effective value is that at least one of the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F and the relative dielectric constant ⁇ shows an abnormal value. If the theoretical air-fuel ratio value A / F is an abnormal value, there is a high possibility that some abnormality has occurred in the air-fuel ratio sensor 28. If the relative dielectric constant ⁇ is an abnormal value, there is a high possibility that some abnormality has occurred in the alcohol concentration sensor 34. If it is determined in S212 that a sensor abnormality has occurred, the ECU 100 sets a flag for OBD. Thereafter, this routine ends.
- the ECU 100 uses the values of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm obtained by solving the simultaneous equations as the ethanol of the mixed fuel currently used. Calculated as estimated values of the concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm (S210). The ECU 100 calculates an estimated value of the gasoline concentration from each estimated value of the ethanol concentration Ce and the methanol concentration Cm. Thereby, the component ratio of the mixed fuel which consists of three types of fuel is estimated. Thereafter, this routine ends.
- the simultaneous equations stored in the memory of the ECU 100 do not necessarily have to store the first equation and the second equation as they are.
- Two formulas obtained by modifying the first equation and the second equation, for example, the formula of the above solution can be stored as simultaneous equations.
- the “simultaneous equations including the first equation and the second equation” are not only the simultaneous equations including the first equation and the second equation, but also the first equation and the second equation. It is a concept including simultaneous equations composed of two equations obtained in this way.
- the alcohol concentration sensor 34 is the “first sensor” in the first invention
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 28 is the “second sensor” in the first invention.
- the relative permittivity measuring unit 112 is the “physical property value measuring means” in the first invention
- the theoretical air-fuel ratio value calculating unit 110 is the “air-fuel ratio value calculating means” in the first invention.
- the ratio estimation unit 114 corresponds to the “fuel composition ratio estimation means” in the first invention and the third invention, respectively.
