Definitions
- the present invention relates to an engine control device and an engine control method for controlling an in-cylinder direct fuel injection spark ignition engine.
- a catalyst device for purifying exhaust gas is disposed in the exhaust passage of the engine. Since the catalyst carried by the catalyst device does not exhibit a good catalytic function below the activation temperature, a warm-up operation is required to quickly raise the catalyst to the activation temperature when the engine is started.
- a warm-up operation method there is a method of raising the temperature of the catalyst by increasing the temperature of the exhaust gas by retarding the ignition timing. Also, in such warm-up operation, in order to ensure good ignitability even when the ignition timing is retarded, so-called stratified combustion is performed in which spark ignition is performed with fuel spray concentrated in the vicinity of the spark plug. May be implemented.
- JP2009-2184A has an HPLEGR that uses an HPL passage that connects an exhaust passage upstream from the turbine and an intake passage downstream from the compressor, and an LPL passage that connects an exhaust passage downstream from the turbine and an intake passage upstream from the compressor. LPLEGR to be used is disclosed. And control which switches HPLEGR and LPLEGR is disclosed. JP2009-167887A discloses that in an internal combustion engine having an external EGR, the EGR valve opening degree is controlled based on the piston temperature.

- engine direct fuel injection spark ignition engine
- FIG. 1 shows only one cylinder, this embodiment can also be applied to a multi-cylinder engine.
- the cylinder block 1B of the engine 1 includes a cylinder 2.
- a piston 3 is accommodated in the cylinder 2 so as to be able to reciprocate.
- the piston 3 is connected to a crankshaft (not shown) via a connecting rod 12 and reciprocates as the crankshaft rotates.
- the piston 3 includes a cavity 10 described later on a crown surface 3A (hereinafter also referred to as a piston crown surface 3A).
- the cylinder head 1A of the engine 1 includes a concave combustion chamber 11.
- the combustion chamber 11 is configured as a so-called pent roof type, and a pair of intake valves 6 are disposed on the inclined surface on the intake side, and a pair of exhaust valves 7 are disposed on the inclined surface on the exhaust side.
- An ignition plug 8 is disposed along the axis of the cylinder 2 at a substantially central position of the combustion chamber 11 surrounded by the pair of intake valves 6 and the pair of exhaust valves 7.
- a fuel injection valve 9 is arranged at a position between the pair of intake valves 6 in the cylinder head 1A so as to face the combustion chamber 11. The directivity of fuel spray injected from the fuel injection valve 9 will be described later.
- the intake valve 6 and the exhaust valve 7 are driven by a variable valve mechanism 20 as a valve overlap period adjusting mechanism.
- the variable valve mechanism 20 adjusts the valve timing of the intake valve 6 and the exhaust valve 7, that is, the valve opening timing and the valve closing timing so that a valve overlap period in which both the intake valve 6 and the exhaust valve 7 are opened occurs. Anything that can be changed is enough.
- the valve opening timing is the timing for starting the valve opening operation
- the valve closing timing is the timing for ending the valve closing operation.
- a known variable valve mechanism 20 that changes the rotational phase of the camshaft that drives the intake valve 6 and the camshaft that drives the exhaust valve 7 with respect to the crankshaft is used.
- variable valve mechanism 20 is not limited to one that can adjust both the opening and closing timings of the intake valve 6 and the exhaust valve 7, and may be one that can adjust only one of them. For example, even if only the opening / closing timing of the intake valve 6 can be adjusted, other mechanisms may be adopted as long as the valve overlap period between the opening period of the intake valve 6 and the opening period of the exhaust valve 7 can be adjusted longer or shorter. May be.
- An exhaust purification catalyst for purifying the exhaust gas of the engine 1 is interposed on the exhaust flow downstream side of the exhaust passage 5.
- the exhaust purification catalyst is, for example, a three-way catalyst.
- the piston 3 includes the cavity 10 in the piston crown surface 3A as described above.
- the cavity 10 is provided at a position biased toward the intake side on the piston crown surface 3A.
- the fuel injection valve 9 is arranged so that the fuel spray is directed toward the cavity 10 when fuel is injected when the piston 3 is in the vicinity of the top dead center.
- the fuel spray that has collided with the cavity 10 is wound up along the wall surface of the cavity 10 and is directed toward the spark plug 8.
- the fuel injection amount, fuel injection timing, ignition timing, and the like of the engine 1 are controlled by the controller 100 according to the operating state of the engine 1.
- the fuel injection timing is the timing at which fuel injection is started.
- the engine 1 includes a crankshaft angle sensor, a cooling water temperature sensor 32, an air flow meter that detects the intake air amount, an accelerator opening sensor 31 that detects the depression amount of the accelerator pedal, and an exhaust purification catalyst.
- Various detection devices such as a catalyst temperature sensor 33 for directly or indirectly detecting the temperature are provided.
- the accelerator opening sensor 31 functions as an acceleration request sensor that detects a driver's acceleration request, the acceleration request sensor is not limited to this. For example, an accelerator operated by hand can be applied, and if the acceleration request amount can be detected, the form of the operation element is not particular.
- Exhaust gas purification catalyst does not exhibit sufficient purification performance at temperatures lower than the activation temperature. For this reason, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst at an early stage at the time of cold start when the exhaust purification catalyst is lower than the activation temperature. Therefore, when the exhaust purification catalyst is in an inactive state in an idle state immediately after the cold start, the controller 100 performs super retarded stratified combustion to activate the exhaust purification catalyst at an early stage. Super retarded stratified combustion itself is known (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-25535).
- the controller 100 sets the ignition timing to the first half of the expansion stroke, for example, 15-30 deg after compression top dead center. Further, the controller 100 sets the first fuel injection timing in the first half of the intake stroke, and sets the second fuel injection timing in the second half of the compression stroke so that the fuel spray can reach the periphery of the spark plug 8 by the ignition timing. For example, it is set to 50-60 deg before compression top dead center.
- the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas discharged by the above-mentioned super retarded stratified combustion is stoichiometric (theoretical air-fuel ratio).
- the controller 100 calculates the amount of fuel that can be completely combusted with the amount of intake air per combustion cycle (hereinafter also referred to as the total fuel amount), as in a general fuel injection amount setting method.
- a part of the total fuel amount, for example, 50 to 90% by weight is set as the first injection amount, and the rest is set as the second injection amount.
- the fuel spray injected in the first fuel injection diffuses into the cylinder 2 without colliding with the cavity 10, mixes with air, and is stoichiometric throughout the combustion chamber 11. A leaner homogeneous mixture is formed.
- the fuel spray injected in the second fuel injection collides with the cavity 10 and reaches the vicinity of the spark plug 8 by being wound up, and concentrates the air-fuel mixture richer than stoichiometric around the spark plug 8. To form. Thereby, the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber 11 is in a stratified state. If a spark is ignited by the spark plug 8 in this state, combustion that is resistant to disturbances in which misfires and smoke are suppressed is performed.
- the combustion mentioned above is stratified combustion, in order to distinguish from the general stratified combustion whose ignition timing is before compression top dead, it is called super retarded stratified combustion.
- the exhaust temperature can be raised as compared with the conventional homogeneous stoichiometric combustion, and the amount of hydrocarbon (HC) discharged from the combustion chamber 11 to the exhaust passage 5 is reduced. it can. That is, according to super retarded stratified combustion, only conventional homogeneous stoichiometric combustion, only stratified combustion, or a combustion mode in which additional fuel is injected after the later stage of combustion (after the expansion stroke or during the exhaust stroke), etc. Compared with the case where warm-up is performed, early activation of the exhaust purification catalyst can be realized while suppressing the discharge of HC into the atmosphere between the start of starting and the activation of the exhaust purification catalyst.
- super retarded stratified combustion is performed by two-stage fuel injection, but the number of fuel injection stages is not limited to this.
- a part of the fuel that collided with the piston crown surface 3A during the execution of the super retarded stratified combustion does not roll up in the direction of the spark plug 8, but adheres to the piston crown surface 3A. Even when the fuel adheres to the piston crown surface 3A, the fuel does not remain on the piston crown surface 3A if the adhered fuel is vaporized and burned in the combustion cycle. However, since super retard stratified combustion is performed at the time of cold start, the attached fuel is difficult to vaporize until the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A rises. Further, if the attached fuel is burned by the propagation of the combustion flame of the combustion cycle, the fuel does not remain on the piston crown surface 3A.
- the liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A continues to increase for a predetermined period after the cold start.
- the predetermined period here means that the amount of liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A vaporizes in one combustion cycle is larger than the amount attached to the piston crown surface 3A during one combustion cycle. Is the period.
- the super retarded stratified combustion may be switched to the homogeneous stoichiometric combustion with the liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A.
- the homogeneous stoichiometric combustion is a combustion mode in which a stoichiometric air-fuel mixture is formed in the entire combustion chamber 11 and spark ignition is performed.
- the normal control is a spark ignition control at an optimal ignition timing (MBT: minimum advance for torque, ignition timing at the maximum torque point) in homogeneous stoichiometric combustion.
- MBT minimum advance for torque, ignition timing at the maximum torque point
- MBT during homogeneous stoichiometric combustion has an ignition timing that is slightly advanced from TDC.
- the fuel injection at this time is intake stroke injection.
- the controller 100 executes the control described below in order to suppress an increase in PN due to the combustion of the liquid fuel.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a control routine for suppressing an increase in PN.
- This control routine is executed by the controller 100. This routine is repeatedly executed at intervals as short as about 10 milliseconds, for example.
- This routine retards the ignition timing in order to suppress PM generation due to the flame coming into contact with the liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A. Further, in order to reduce the amount of liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “liquid fuel amount”), the valve overlap period is extended. Hereinafter, it demonstrates according to the step of a flowchart.
- step S101 the controller 100 determines whether or not the accelerator pedal is depressed more than the predetermined amount A continuously from the super retard stratified combustion.
- the predetermined amount A is the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal to the extent that the driver recognizes that there is an intention to accelerate.
- This predetermined amount A is set in advance.
- whether or not the super retarded stratified combustion has occurred can be determined based on the temperature of the exhaust purification catalyst. Specifically, it is determined that the exhaust purification catalyst is being executed if it is lower than the activation temperature, and is not being executed if it is equal to or higher than the activation temperature.
- step S101 the controller 100 determines whether or not the catalyst temperature exceeds the catalyst activation temperature TC (S102). When the catalyst temperature does not exceed the catalyst activation temperature TC, the controller 100 continues the super retarded stratified combustion control described above (S103).
- the controller 100 performs homogeneous stoichiometric combustion control. (S104).
- the homogeneous stoichiometric combustion is a combustion mode in which a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio mixture is formed in the entire combustion chamber 11 and spark ignition is performed.
- the process proceeds to step S104, and the control according to the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A is performed in step S105 described later. This is because the fact that the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A is not raised simply because it is active does not necessarily increase the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A, but the PN may increase.
- step S105 the controller 100 acquires the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “piston crown surface temperature”).
- the piston crown surface temperature can be obtained from the detection value of the cooling water temperature sensor 32. For example, by obtaining the relationship between the temperature acquired by the existing cooling water temperature sensor 32 and the piston crown surface temperature in advance, the piston is controlled during the control of the engine 1 based on the temperature acquired by the existing cooling water temperature sensor 32. The temperature can be acquired.
- step S106 the controller 100 determines whether or not the piston crown surface temperature acquired in step S105 is less than a preset threshold value T1.
- the controller 100 executes the process of step S107 when the piston crown surface temperature is lower than the threshold value T1, and executes the process of step S111 when it is equal to or higher than the threshold value T1.
- Threshold value T1 used in this step is set in advance to a value that can satisfy the emission regulation value of PN even when switching from super retarded stratified combustion to normal control.
- the threshold value T1 can be said to be the temperature at the boundary between the temperature at which the liquid fuel adhering to the piston crown surface 3A can be vaporized and combusted in one cycle and the temperature at which it cannot.
- the temperature at which vaporization and combustion cannot be performed in one cycle is a temperature at which the liquid fuel adhering to the piston crown surface 3A is carried over to the next cycle in a liquid state and causes generation of exhaust particulates (PM). It can also be said.
- the threshold T1 may be a boundary temperature between the temperature and the temperature at which the flame does not occur because it has been found that the flame may be generated even when the piston crown surface 3A is not wet with the liquid fuel during acceleration.
- step S107 the controller 100 calculates the retard amount of the spark ignition timing as will be described later.
- the retard amount of the spark ignition timing (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “ignition timing”) is, for example, created in advance in the table shown in FIG. 3 and stored in the controller 100, and this table is stored at the piston crown surface temperature. Calculate by searching.
- FIG. 3 is a table for setting the retard amount of the spark ignition timing in the first embodiment.
- the vertical axis indicates the retard amount of the ignition timing
- the horizontal axis indicates the piston crown surface temperature.
- the retardation amount of the ignition timing is zero when the temperature T of the piston crown surface 3A is T> threshold T1, and is RT1 when threshold T1 ⁇ T.
- step S108 the controller 100 sets the ignition timing. Specifically, a new ignition timing is calculated from the ignition timing for normal homogeneous stoichiometric combustion and the retard amount RT1 of the ignition timing calculated in step S107.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the spark ignition timing in the first embodiment.
- FIG. 4 shows an example of the ignition timing when the processes of steps S107 and S108 are executed.

- the ignition timing is set to be retarded by the retard amount RT1 from the basic ignition timing (MBT) at the time of homogeneous stoichiometric combustion during normal control.
- MBT basic ignition timing
- the ignition timing is not retarded here, the flame propagated by the ignition reaches the piston crown surface 3A immediately. If it does so, a flame will contact the liquid fuel which remains in the cavity 10 at an early stage, and PN will be increased.
- the ignition timing is retarded, the flame propagating by ignition does not reach the piston crown surface 3A, or reaches the piston crown surface 3A even if it reaches the piston crown surface 3A.
- the flame contact time with respect to can be shortened.
- the combustion quantity of the liquid fuel which remains on 3 A of piston crown surfaces can be decreased, and the increase in PN can be suppressed.
- the ignition timing is retarded, the temperature is lowered in the expansion stroke, and the flame reaches the piston crown surface 3A. Therefore, even if a pool fire is generated, the size can be reduced. And the increase in PN can be suppressed.
- a table of ignition timing for the estimated amount of liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A (hereinafter also referred to as “liquid fuel estimated amount”) is created, and the ignition timing is retarded in steps S107 and S108.
- the estimated amount of liquid fuel may be obtained by referring to this table.
- the estimated amount of liquid fuel correlates with the piston crown surface temperature. If the piston crown surface temperature is high, the liquid fuel is likely to evaporate, so the estimated amount of liquid fuel at the piston crown surface 3A is small. On the other hand, if the piston crown surface temperature is low, the liquid fuel is less likely to evaporate, so the estimated amount of liquid fuel at the piston crown surface 3A increases.
- the table is set so that the retard amount of the spark ignition timing increases as the estimated amount of liquid fuel increases.
- the ignition timing retard amount shown in FIG. 3 is shifted upward.
- the greater the liquid fuel estimate the greater the PN when the liquid fuel comes into contact with the flame.

- FIG. 6 is a diagram when the ignition timing is changed stepwise with respect to the estimated amount of liquid fuel.
- the amount of liquid fuel can be estimated based on the piston crown surface temperature and the elapsed time from the start of the engine. Specifically, first, the residual amount per unit time is determined for each piston crown surface temperature based on the characteristic that the lower the piston crown temperature, the easier the liquid fuel remains on the piston crown surface 3A. The accumulated amount attached to the piston crown surface 3A is calculated by integrating the elapsed time from the engine start. Next, a vaporization amount, which will be described later, is subtracted from the integrated amount, and the result is used as an estimated amount of liquid fuel.
- the above vaporization amount is the vaporized amount of the fuel adhering to the piston crown surface 3A. Since the fuel is more easily vaporized as the temperature increases, the amount of vaporization increases as the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A increases.

On the other hand, if the fuel injection amount is small, the residual amount of liquid fuel on the piston crown surface 3A is small.

- the so-called internal EGR gas amount increases. Since the internal EGR gas has a high temperature, the in-cylinder temperature from the intake stroke to the ignition timing rises by being sucked into the cylinder. If the in-cylinder temperature rises, the piston temperature also rises, and the vaporization of the liquid fuel adhering to the cavity is promoted. Therefore, the table of FIG. 8 is set so that the valve overlap period becomes longer when the crown surface temperature T is low.

However, by obtaining the valve overlap period as described above, the amount of liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A can be reduced. And the increase in PN can be suppressed. Moreover, since the effect of internal EGR can be enhanced as described above, the increase in PN can also be suppressed by this.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram when the valve overlap period is linearly changed with respect to the estimated amount of liquid fuel.
- valve overlap period may be obtained by referring to this table when expanding the valve overlap period in steps S109 and S110. If the fuel injection amount is large, the residual amount of liquid fuel on the piston crown surface 3A increases. On the other hand, if the fuel injection amount is small, the residual amount of liquid fuel on the piston crown surface 3A is small.
- the table is set so that the valve overlap period is set longer as the fuel injection amount is larger.

If the fuel injection amount is large, it is considered that the liquid fuel remaining on the piston crown surface 3A also increases. Therefore, the larger the fuel injection amount, the greater the retard amount of the spark ignition timing, thereby making it difficult to cause contact between the flame and the liquid fuel.
- the valve when the accelerator pedal is depressed more than the predetermined amount A during the execution of the super retarded stratified combustion, the valve is over when the temperature of the piston crown surface 3A in the cylinder is lower than the predetermined temperature.
