- the internal combustion engine 1 of the present embodiment is a so-called port injection type, but may be a so-called in-cylinder direct injection type.
- an air-fuel ratio sensor 9 In the exhaust passage of the internal combustion engine 1, an air-fuel ratio sensor 9, a turbocharger turbine 10B, a manifold catalyst 11, and an O 2 sensor 12 are arranged in this order from the upstream side of the exhaust flow.
- compressor 10A and the turbine 10B are actually connected via a shaft and rotate as a unit.
- an intercooler for cooling the air that has been pressurized by the compressor 10A and has risen in temperature may be disposed downstream of the compressor 10A.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is a sensor in which the output current when a voltage is applied changes linearly according to the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas. The structure and characteristics of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 will be described later.
- the manifold catalyst 11 is a three-way catalyst.
- the O 2 sensor 12 generates an electromotive force according to the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas.
- the electromotive force of the O 2 sensor 12 is approximately 0 V when the exhaust gas is leaner than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio (hereinafter also simply referred to as “lean”), and is richer than the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio (hereinafter simply referred to as “rich.
- the output voltage is about 1 V, and the output voltage changes greatly in the vicinity of the theoretical air-fuel ratio. That is, the O 2 sensor 12 can determine whether the exhaust gas is lean or rich.
- the detection signals from the air flow meter 5, air-fuel ratio sensor 9, and O 2 sensor 12 are read into an engine controller (hereinafter referred to as ECU) 13.
- the ECU 13 controls the fuel injection amount and ignition timing, sets the target air-fuel ratio, and sets the air-fuel ratio to the target air-fuel ratio based on these detection signals and detection signals from an accelerator pedal opening sensor and a crank angle sensor (not shown).
- Air-fuel ratio feedback control or the like is executed to match the above.
- the O 2 sensor 12 is not used for controlling the internal combustion engine 1 when the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 functions normally. However, if the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is abnormal, air-fuel ratio feedback control is performed based on the detection signal of the O 2 sensor 12.
- the ECU 13 performs air-fuel ratio feedback control for each cylinder of the internal combustion engine 1. Therefore, in order to accurately determine the cylinder, the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is installed on the upstream side of the turbine 10B, more specifically, on the upstream side of the turbine 10B and near the junction of the exhaust flow paths from the cylinders. . If the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is installed on the downstream side of the turbine 10B, the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 detects the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas that has been mixed until it passes through the turbine 10B after joining, making cylinder discrimination difficult. Because it becomes.
- FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the sensor element 20 of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9.
- a cover that covers the sensor element 20 and a heater for heating the sensor element 20 are omitted.
- the sensor element 20 includes a solid electrolyte layer 21, an exhaust side electrode 22 provided on the exhaust side of the solid electrolyte layer 21, an atmosphere side electrode 23 provided on the atmosphere side of the solid electrolyte layer 21, and a diffusion resistance layer 24. Consists of including.
- the solid electrolyte layer 21 is formed of a substance to which oxygen ions can move, such as zirconia.
- the exhaust side electrode 22 is disposed in the exhaust gas duct 27. Part of the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage 3 flows into the exhaust gas duct 27 while being diffused by the diffusion resistance layer 24, and contacts the exhaust side electrode 22.
- the diffusion resistance layer 24 is made of, for example, porous ceramic.
- the atmosphere side electrode 23 is disposed in an atmosphere duct 25 communicating with the atmosphere.
- the atmosphere flowing into the atmosphere duct 25 contacts the atmosphere side electrode 23.
- the exhaust side electrode 22 and the atmosphere side electrode 23 are platinum electrodes.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 receives exhaust gas. A current corresponding to the oxygen concentration flows.
- oxygen in the atmospheric duct 25 becomes oxygen ions due to the electrode reaction at the atmospheric side electrode 23, and the oxygen ions are solid as shown by arrows in FIG.
- the electrolyte layer 21 moves from the atmosphere side electrode 23 to the exhaust side electrode 22.
- carbon dioxide and water are generated by the reaction between the oxygen ions that have moved and HC, CO, and H 2 in the exhaust gas duct 27.
- a current flows between the exhaust side electrode 22 and the atmosphere side electrode 23 due to the movement of oxygen ions, and the value of the current flowing at this time changes according to the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the voltage-current characteristics of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 described above.
- the horizontal axis is the applied voltage, and the vertical axis is the output current.
- limit current region the region where the value of the output current does not change even when the applied voltage is changed, regardless of whether the air-fuel ratio is lean or rich.
- limit current value the output current value in the limit current region
- this limit current value is proportional to the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas, the air-fuel ratio can be detected based on the magnitude of the limit current value.
- the ECU 13 feedback-controls the fuel injection amount so that the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas becomes the target air-fuel ratio (for example, the theoretical air-fuel ratio).
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 can detect the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas because oxygen ions move through the solid electrolyte layer 21. Therefore, when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is rich, if the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere side electrode 23 is insufficient, the oxygen ion movement amount becomes smaller than the movement amount according to the air-fuel ratio, and the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 detects it. The value becomes leaner than the actual air-fuel ratio.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 has structural restrictions such as the capacity of the air duct 25 and a route for introducing the air, and the speed at which the air flows into the air duct 25 is thereby limited. For this reason, the richer the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas, the more likely it is that the amount of oxygen supplied to the atmosphere-side electrode 23 becomes insufficient.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing voltage-current characteristics when the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere side electrode 23 is insufficient. As shown in the figure, the output current value increases in proportion to the applied voltage on the rich side. Thus, since the limit current value is not flat, the air-fuel ratio detection accuracy is lowered.
- the ECU 13 executes a control routine described below in order to suppress a decrease in accuracy of the air-fuel ratio control accompanying a decrease in detection accuracy of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9.
- FIG. 5 is a control routine for air-fuel ratio control executed by the ECU 13.
- step S10 the ECU 13 determines whether or not the entire area air-fuel ratio control is being performed. If the entire area air-fuel ratio control is not being performed, the current routine is terminated. If the entire area air-fuel ratio control is being performed, the process of step S20 is performed.
- Execute. “Wide-range air-fuel ratio control” is air-fuel ratio feedback control based on the detection value of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 and controls the fuel injection amount so as to realize a target air-fuel ratio set according to operating conditions. .
- the target air-fuel ratio here is not limited to the theoretical air-fuel ratio. For example, during acceleration, a rich target air-fuel ratio may be set in order to generate higher torque.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 In order to execute the entire area air-fuel ratio control, the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 needs to be in an active state. Therefore, in this step, when the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is not in the active state as in the warm-up operation after the cold start, it is determined that the overall air-fuel ratio control is not performed.
- step S20 the ECU 13 determines whether or not the air-fuel ratio (A / F) of the exhaust gas is smaller than the threshold value A / F1, and if it is equal to or greater than the threshold value A / F1, executes the process of step S30. If it is smaller than F1, the process of step S40 is executed.
- the threshold A / F1 used in this step is detected by the air-fuel ratio sensor 9, that is, the air-fuel ratio in which the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere-side electrode of the air-fuel ratio sensor does not run short even if the operation at that air-fuel ratio continues. The air / fuel ratio does not decrease accuracy.
- This threshold A / F1 is set according to the structure of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9, such as the capacity of the air duct 25, the air introduction path, and the like.
- a detectable A / F described later is set as a threshold A / F1.
- step S30 executed when the air-fuel ratio is equal to or greater than the threshold A / F1, the ECU 13 continues the entire area air-fuel ratio control as it is.
- the ECU 13 activates a timer in step S40, and determines whether or not a predetermined time set in advance in step S50 has elapsed.
- the predetermined time will be described.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the relationship between the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas and the time during which the air-fuel ratio can be measured by the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 found by the inventors of the present invention.
- the measurable time is a time during which the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 can accurately detect the air-fuel ratio.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 accurately detects the air-fuel ratio when the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere-side electrode 23 is insufficient due to the restriction of the capacity of the atmosphere duct 25 as described above. become unable.
- the rich limit air-fuel ratio at which the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere-side electrode 23 does not become deficient during detection of the air-fuel ratio is defined as the detection limit A / F
- the air-fuel ratio leaner than the detection limit A / F If so, the measurable time of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is theoretically infinite.
- the detection accuracy of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 does not immediately decrease.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 can accurately detect the air-fuel ratio while the air in the air duct 25 covers the oxygen supply to the atmosphere-side electrode 23.
- the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is richer than the detection limit A / F, the measurable time of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 becomes shorter as it becomes richer.
- the inventor does not immediately reduce the detection accuracy of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 even when the air-fuel ratio becomes richer than the detection limit A / F.
- the predetermined time is set according to the air-fuel ratio, and the measurable time ST1 at the air-fuel ratio A / F2 is set as the predetermined time.
- the predetermined time ST1 is specifically set according to the structure of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 and the vehicle type to which the present embodiment is applied, but is approximately several tens of seconds to several minutes.
- ECU13 performs the process of step S60, when it determines with predetermined time ST1 not having passed by step S50, and performs the process of step S70, when it determines with having passed.
- step S60 the ECU 13 continues the whole area air-fuel ratio control. This is because the air-fuel ratio sensor can be measured before the predetermined time ST1 has elapsed.
- the ECU 13 prohibits the entire air-fuel ratio control and executes open-loop control based on the target air-fuel ratio. This is because if the overall air-fuel ratio control is executed in a state where the detection accuracy of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is lowered, the control accuracy of the air-fuel ratio is lowered.
- step S80 the ECU 13 determines whether or not the air-fuel ratio A / F has returned to the threshold value A / F1 or more. If it has returned, the process of step S90 is executed. If not, the process of step S50 is executed. To do.
- step S90 the ECU 13 determines to restart the entire area air-fuel ratio control, and executes the process of step S30. If step S60 is reached from step S60 via step S80, execution of the entire area air-fuel ratio control is determined as it is.
- a predetermined time during which the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 can accurately detect the air-fuel ratio. Continues the entire air-fuel ratio control. Then, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the entire air-fuel ratio control is prohibited and switched to the open loop control. Further, after switching to the open loop control, when the air-fuel ratio becomes equal to or higher than the threshold A / F1, the entire area air-fuel ratio control is resumed.
- FIG. 7 is an example of a timing chart when the control routine of FIG. 5 is executed.
- the broken line indicates the case where the control according to the present embodiment is executed, and the solid line indicates the case where the control according to the conventional technique described above is executed.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 When the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 becomes active at the timing T1, the entire area air-fuel ratio control is started. Further, since the vehicle starts accelerating from timing T1, the engine load increases and the air-fuel ratio becomes rich. The air-fuel ratio becomes rich because the target air-fuel ratio is switched to a so-called output air-fuel ratio or a value close to the output air-fuel ratio in order to generate higher torque.
- the entire area air-fuel ratio control is continued with the timer activated.
- the entire area air-fuel ratio control is switched to the open loop control.
- the air-fuel ratio changes stepwise. This is because the variation in fuel injection amount due to individual differences in components such as fuel injection valves cannot be absorbed by switching to open loop control. . Therefore, a step-like change at the timing T3 does not occur depending on the size of the variation.
- the air-fuel ratio can be feedback controlled for a predetermined time. As a result, improvement effects can be obtained in all aspects of output, fuel consumption, and exhaust emission, compared to switching to open loop control immediately after entering the same region.
- the air-fuel ratio control apparatus of this embodiment performs feedback control of the air-fuel ratio based on the detected value of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 and the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 in which the output current value changes linearly according to the oxygen concentration, and the air-fuel ratio is predetermined.
- ECU 13 air-fuel ratio feedback means, prohibiting means for prohibiting feedback control when the air-fuel ratio is greater than or equal to the rich air-fuel ratio.
- the air-fuel ratio control apparatus permits feedback control for a predetermined time after the air-fuel ratio becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined rich air-fuel ratio.
- the predetermined rich air-fuel ratio is an air-fuel ratio at which the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere-side electrode of the air-fuel ratio sensor is insufficient when the operation at that air-fuel ratio is continued.
- the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere-side electrode 23 is insufficient due to the structural restrictions of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9, and the air-fuel ratio is reduced.
- the air-fuel ratio feedback control can be executed even in a situation where the detection accuracy can be lowered.
- improvement in terms of output, fuel consumption, and exhaust emission can be achieved as compared with the case where open loop control is performed in the same situation.
- the predetermined time in this embodiment is set to be shorter than the time until the amount of oxygen supplied to the atmosphere-side electrode of the air-fuel ratio sensor is insufficient and the air-fuel ratio detection accuracy is lowered. As a result, it is possible to prevent the air-fuel ratio feedback control from being executed based on the air-fuel ratio detected in a low detection accuracy state.
- the internal combustion engine 1 includes a turbocharger 10, and the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is provided in the exhaust passage 3 upstream of the turbine 10B.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 detects the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas before the mixing proceeds, and cylinder discrimination becomes easy. As a result, it is possible to perform air-fuel ratio control corresponding to variations in the fuel injection amount between the cylinders.
- the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is provided on the exhaust side of the solid electrolyte layer 21 that allows oxygen ions to move and the exhaust side of the solid electrolyte layer 21 and is exposed to the exhaust passage 3 of the internal combustion engine 1. And an atmosphere side electrode 23 provided on the atmosphere side of the solid electrolyte layer 21 and exposed to the atmosphere, and voltage applying means 28 for applying a voltage between the exhaust side electrode 22 and the atmosphere side electrode 23. Is done. Thereby, the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 can detect the air-fuel ratio in a wide range since the output current value changes linearly according to the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas.
- the length of the predetermined time in this embodiment is set according to the air-fuel ratio. This makes it possible to set an appropriate predetermined time corresponding to a different measurable time for each air-fuel ratio, so that the air-fuel ratio feedback control can be continued for a longer time.
- the so-called air introduction type air-fuel ratio sensor 9 is used.
- the present embodiment can also be applied to the case of using a type that generates oxygen with an oxygen pump layer provided in the element 20. Even in the case of the air-fuel ratio sensor 9 having the oxygen pump layer, when the air-fuel ratio becomes rich, the generation of oxygen does not catch up, and there may occur a situation where the oxygen supply amount to the atmosphere side electrode 23 is insufficient. It is.
