  • the exhaust valve is opened in accordance with the combustion of each cylinder and the exhaust is discharged to the exhaust passage, and the exhaust pressure increases every time the exhaust valve in each cylinder is opened. Therefore, when viewed through all the cylinders, as shown in FIG. 3, exhaust pulsation occurs in accordance with the combustion cycle (also the exhaust cycle) of all the cylinders. At this time, the number of molecules per unit volume in the exhaust pipe 14 varies due to exhaust pulsation, and as a result, exhaust pulsation noise is superimposed on the sensor detection voltage AFO.

  • the sensor detection voltage AFO greatly fluctuates in a 720 ° CA cycle (four exhaust pulsation noise cycles), and a 180 ° CA cycle (exhaust pulsation).
  • the sensor detection voltage AFO fluctuates slightly in one cycle of noise). This is because an air-fuel ratio shift occurs in any one of the four cylinders of the engine 10 and exhaust occurs in the four cylinders of the engine 10. Note that since the air-fuel ratio imbalance has a greater influence on the fluctuation of the sensor detection voltage AFO than the exhaust pulsation, the fluctuation of the sensor detection voltage AFO in the 720 ° CA cycle is larger.
  • the combustion cycle of the engine 10 is shorter when the engine speed is high, and therefore the cycle of the exhaust pulsation noise and the imbalance change waveform is shorter.
  • the exhaust pulsation noise is properly attenuated and the imbalance change waveform is suppressed from being tempered regardless of the engine speed.
  • the exhaust pulsation noise is attenuated in the entire rotation range of the engine 10 by changing the cutoff frequency fs in the soft filter unit 33 based on the engine rotation speed.
  • the cutoff frequency fs of the soft filter unit 33 configured by an IIR filter is variably set based on the engine rotation speed. For this reason, the exhaust pulsation noise is appropriately attenuated in the entire rotation range of the engine 10 by the soft filter unit 33, and the imbalance change waveform is prevented from being smoothed. As a result, it is possible to optimize air-fuel ratio detection while ensuring sensor response.
  • the cutoff frequency fs is set between the combustion frequency f1 and the frequency f2 obtained by dividing the combustion frequency f1 by the total number of cylinders 4.
  • the cutoff frequency fs is set closer to the frequency f2 between the combustion frequency f1 and the frequency f2. According to such a configuration, the attenuation band is wide and the pass band is narrow compared to the case where the cutoff frequency fs is closer to the combustion frequency f1. For this reason, only the imbalance change waveform of the pass band is appropriately extracted. Thereby, determination of imbalance can be implemented appropriately.
  • the microcomputer 31 variably sets the filter order N of the soft filter unit 33 based on the engine load. Specifically, when the engine load is high, since the exhaust pressure is large, the exhaust pulsation noise tends to greatly affect the detection accuracy of the imbalance change waveform. For this reason, priority is given to attenuation of exhaust pulsation noise by increasing the filter order N. On the other hand, when the engine load is low, since the exhaust pressure is small, the exhaust pulsation noise hardly affects the detection accuracy of the imbalance change waveform. For this reason, priority is given to reducing the imbalance change waveform by reducing the filter order N. In particular, the difference between the exhaust pulsation frequency and the imbalance frequency is small in the low rotation range. For this reason, by setting the filter order N to be variable, it is possible to prevent the imbalance waveform from being carelessly performed, and to ensure sensor responsiveness.
  • the microcomputer 31 variably sets the filter order N based on the intake pressure output from the intake pressure sensor 17 as the engine load. Specifically, the filter order N is reduced when the intake pressure is small. Thereby, it is suppressed that the imbalance change waveform is smoothed according to the engine load.
  • FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a signal processing procedure for the sensor detection voltage AFO. This process is repeatedly executed by the microcomputer 31 in the ECU 30 at a predetermined time period (in this embodiment, 2 msec period).
  • step S21 the microcomputer 31 determines whether or not the A / F sensor 21 is in the active completion state. If the microcomputer 31 is inactive, the process is terminated. If the activation is completed, the microcomputer 31 proceeds to step S22.
  • step S22 the microcomputer 31 inputs the intake pressure detected by the intake pressure sensor 17. Then, after inputting the intake pressure, in step S23, the microcomputer 31 sets the filter order N based on the intake pressure input in step S22.
  • step S24 the microcomputer 31 determines whether or not the filter order N set in step S23 is not zero. If the result in Step S24 is negative, this process is temporarily terminated. If the determination in step S24 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step S25.
  • steps S25 to S28 are the same as steps S12 to S15 of FIG. Based on each of these processes, the filter process is performed by the IIR filter in which the filter coefficient is set, and this series of processes ends.
  • the filter coefficient is variably set based on the engine rotation speed, and the filter order N is variably set based on the intake pressure. For this reason, the filter processing according to the change in the frequency of the exhaust pulsation noise and the change in the magnitude of the exhaust pulsation is performed, and the imbalance change waveform is suppressed from being smoothed while the exhaust pulsation noise is attenuated. As a result, it is possible to optimize air-fuel ratio detection while ensuring sensor response.
  • the filter coefficient of the IIR filter is set so that the cutoff frequency fs becomes a value close to the frequency f2. It is good also as a structure which sets the filter coefficient of an IIR filter so that it may become a value close
  • the cutoff frequency fs is increased as the engine speed is increased.
  • the filter order N may be reduced as the engine speed increases. As shown in FIG. 4, as the engine speed increases, the difference between the exhaust pulsation noise frequency and the imbalance frequency increases, and the exhaust pulsation noise hardly influences the detection accuracy of the imbalance change waveform in the high rotation range. For this reason, priority is given to reducing the imbalance change waveform by reducing the filter order N.
  • the smaller the engine rotation speed the smaller the difference between the exhaust pulsation noise frequency and the imbalance frequency, and the exhaust pulsation noise easily affects the detection accuracy of the imbalance change waveform in the low rotation range.
  • the filter order N decreases as the engine load decreases. Even when the engine load is large, the filter order N may be reduced when the engine speed is high. This is because the higher the engine rotation speed, the less influence is exerted on the detection accuracy of the exhaust pulsation frequency. For this reason, when the engine speed is high, the filter order N is reduced to suppress the imbalance change waveform from being smoothed while attenuating the exhaust pulsation noise. As a result, it is possible to optimize air-fuel ratio detection while ensuring sensor response.
  • the soft filter unit 33 has an IIR filter, but may have another digital filter such as an FIR filter instead. Even with such a configuration, the filter characteristics can be changed by variably setting the filter coefficient and the filter order N. As a result, the exhaust pulsation noise is appropriately attenuated and the imbalance change waveform is prevented from being smoothed.
