Description

Engine control device

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an engine control device including an electric supercharger that supercharges intake air with an electric motor and a mechanical supercharger that recovers exhaust gas energy by a turbine and supercharges intake air.

Engines equipped with a mechanical supercharger that supercharges intake air introduced into the combustion chamber using the energy of exhaust gas are widely used.

This type of mechanical supercharger, also called a turbocharger, is configured by arranging a compressor in the middle of the intake passage of the engine, placing a turbine in the middle of the exhaust passage, and rotating the turbine with exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage. The compressor is operated to increase the amount of intake air into the combustion chamber to improve the engine torque.

In recent years, various types of electric superchargers have been proposed in which the compressor is driven by an electric motor in addition to the supercharger using the energy of the exhaust gas. The electric supercharger has an advantage that it can be supercharged arbitrarily by supplying electric power regardless of the operating state of the engine (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below).

Also, the mechanical supercharger that uses the energy of exhaust gas employs a waste gate valve that adjusts the amount of inflow into the turbine by diverting a part of the exhaust gas. The supercharging pressure of intake air can be controlled by adjusting the amount of exhaust gas passing through the turbine with a waste gate valve.

Conventional waste gate valves have been controlled by pneumatic actuators that use supercharging pressure as a power source, but recently, electronically controlled waste gate valves that are controlled to open and close by an electric motor have also been adopted. By making the waste gate valve electrically controlled, it can be driven even when the supercharging pressure is low, and more precise control is possible.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-163684

By the way, generally at the time of cold start of the engine, especially when the outside air temperature is low, the viscosity of the lubricating oil and hydraulic oil of the engine and transmission increases, and the resistance for turning the crank with the starter increases. For this reason, a cranking speed will fall.

Also, when the outside air temperature is low, the discharge capacity of the battery decreases, so the power supplied to the starter decreases and the cranking speed decreases. When the cranking speed is reduced, the time of the compression stroke is extended, so that there is a problem that the amount of intake leakage from the piston ring and the valve seat increases and the actual compression ratio decreases. Further, when the actual compression ratio is lowered, the cylinder gas pressure and the cylinder gas temperature in the vicinity of the compression top dead center are lowered, and there is a problem that combustion necessary for starting cannot be obtained.

Also, when the engine is warm, for example, when the engine is stopped due to idling stop or the like, one of the cylinders corresponds to a valve overlap period in which the intake valve and the exhaust valve are simultaneously open. In the cylinder during the valve overlap period, the intake valve and the exhaust valve are open at the same time, so if the exhaust gas flows backward to the intake passage side and the engine is restarted in that state, the intake air required for combustion Oxygen may be insufficient. For this reason, there is a demand for removing exhaust gas that has flowed back and keeping the startability at a high temperature always high.

Therefore, the present invention has a first object of improving engine startability when the engine is cold, particularly when the outside air temperature is low, and an engine in which backflowed exhaust gas has a great influence on engine startability. The second problem is to improve the startability of the engine during the warm condition.

In order to solve the first problem, the present invention provides a mechanical turbocharger including a mechanical compressor that is disposed in an intake passage and supercharges intake air that is introduced into a combustion chamber, and an exhaust turbine that is disposed in an exhaust passage. An electric bypass compressor that opens and closes an exhaust bypass passage that connects an upstream side and a downstream side of the exhaust turbine in the exhaust passage; and an electric compressor that is disposed in the intake passage and supercharges intake air into the combustion chamber An engine control device that drives the electric supercharger at the start of the engine and closes the exhaust bypass valve is employed.

Here, it is preferable that the driving of the electric supercharger and the setting of the exhaust bypass valve to the closed state at the time of engine start are performed until the engine start is completed.

In addition, when the engine is started, the electric supercharger is driven and the exhaust bypass valve is set to the closed state, particularly when the engine is cold or when the outside air temperature is a predetermined temperature or less. high.

And an intake valve that opens and closes the opening of the intake passage to the combustion chamber, and an exhaust valve that opens and closes the opening of the exhaust passage to the combustion chamber. Both of the intake valve and the exhaust valve are open. Even when the valve overlap period, which is the state that has been set, is set, the effect of improving startability can be exhibited.

In each of these configurations, it is possible to employ a configuration in which the exhaust bypass valve is opened after the start of the engine is completed.

In order to solve the second problem, the present invention provides a machine including a mechanical compressor that is disposed in an intake passage and supercharges intake air that is introduced into a combustion chamber, and an exhaust turbine that is disposed in an exhaust passage. A turbocharger, an exhaust bypass valve that opens and closes an exhaust bypass passage connecting the upstream side and the downstream side of the exhaust turbine in the exhaust passage, and an electric motor that is disposed in the intake passage and supercharges intake air to the combustion chamber And an electric supercharger equipped with a compressor, and when starting the engine, the exhaust bypass valve is opened when the engine is warm, and the exhaust bypass valve is opened when the engine is cold The engine control device is used to close the engine.

Here, when the engine is in a warm state, it is desirable to drive the electric supercharger.

An intake valve that opens and closes an opening of the intake passage to the combustion chamber; and an exhaust valve that opens and closes an opening of the exhaust passage to the combustion chamber. Both of the intake valve and the exhaust valve are opened. The effect of improving startability is particularly high when the valve overlap period is set.

The driving of the electric supercharger when the engine is warm is preferably performed until the start of the engine is completed.

Further, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the open state of the exhaust bypass valve when the engine is warm is maintained until the start of the engine is completed.

According to the present invention, the electric supercharger is driven when the engine is started, and the exhaust bypass valve of the exhaust bypass passage that avoids the turbine of the mechanical supercharger is closed. Even when the outside air temperature is low, the charging efficiency of intake air into the combustion chamber can be increased and the engine startability can be improved.

According to the present invention, the exhaust bypass valve of the exhaust bypass passage that avoids the turbine of the mechanical supercharger in the exhaust passage is opened when the engine is started in the warm state. The exhaust gas flowing backward can be efficiently discharged to the exhaust passage, and the engine startability can be improved.

Here, the battery 60 that supplies power to the exhaust bypass valve 42, the intake bypass valve 34, the electric compressor 32, and the like is common to the battery that supplies power to other parts of the engine 1 and the vehicle in which the engine 1 is mounted. It is said. However, the battery that supplies driving power to the exhaust bypass valve 42 and the electric compressor 32 can be provided separately from the battery that supplies power to the engine 1 and the entire vehicle.

A downstream side of the exhaust turbine 12 in the exhaust passage 14 and a midway portion between the mechanical compressor 11 and the second throttle valve 7 in the intake passage 11 are communicated by an exhaust gas recirculation passage 21 constituting the exhaust gas recirculation device 20. . A part of the exhaust gas discharged from the combustion chamber returns to the upstream side of the mechanical compressor 11 and the electric compressor 32 in the intake passage 4 as the recirculation gas via the exhaust recirculation passage 21. An exhaust gas recirculation valve 22 is provided in the exhaust gas recirculation passage 21. The recirculated gas merges with the intake air in the intake passage 4 in accordance with the pressure state in the intake passage 4 that accompanies the opening and closing of the exhaust gas recirculation valve 22 and the opening and closing of the second throttle valve 7.

A vehicle equipped with the engine 1 includes an electronic control unit 50 for controlling the engine 1.

And an exhaust bypass device control means 54 for controlling the exhaust bypass valve 42 of the exhaust bypass device 40.

As shown in FIG. 1, the intake passage 4 is provided with a purge device a that temporarily stores the evaporated fuel generated in the fuel tank in a canister or the like and introduces it into the downstream side of the throttle valve 5. . Further, a blow-by gas recirculation device b that recirculates the blow-by gas mainly containing unburned gas leaked into the engine 1 to the intake port 3, opens to the upstream side of the second throttle valve 7, and the pressure in the crankcase A breather device e and the like are provided. These devices are also controlled by the electronic control unit 50.

Further, in the intake passage 4, as a sensor device for acquiring information necessary for controlling the engine 1, a pressure sensor c on the downstream side of the throttle valve 5, a pressure sensor d on the upstream side of the throttle valve 5, and the inside of the intake passage 4 are provided. An air flow sensor f for detecting the amount of flowing air is provided.

The exhaust passage 14 is provided with an exhaust temperature sensor g for detecting the temperature of the exhaust gas as a sensor device that acquires information necessary for controlling the engine 1.

The engine 1 includes an outside air temperature sensor h that detects the temperature of outside air, a water temperature sensor i that detects the temperature of cooling water that cools the cylinder block and the like, and a rotation speed sensor that detects the rotation speed of the crankshaft of the engine 1. j is provided, and a vehicle equipped with the engine 1 is provided with an accelerator opening sensor k for detecting the amount of depression of the accelerator.

Information on these various sensors can be acquired by the electronic control unit 50 through a cable.

Hereinafter, the control at the start of the engine 1 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S1, the driver makes a start request for the engine 1 with an ignition starter switch.

In response to the starter switch ON operation signal, in step S2, the accelerator opening detected by the accelerator opening sensor k, the coolant temperature detected by the water temperature sensor i, and the outside temperature detected by the outside air temperature sensor h. The temperature and the like are also read into the electronic control unit 50.

In step S3, when it is determined that the engine 1 is in a cold state, that is, when the temperature of the cooling water is lower than a predetermined water temperature (for example, −10 ° C.), the process proceeds to step S4 and the exhaust bypass device 40 While the exhaust bypass valve 42 is closed, the process proceeds to step S6, and control for driving the electric compressor 32 of the electric supercharger 30 is performed.

If it is determined in step S3 that the engine 1 is warm, that is, if the coolant temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined water temperature (for example, −10 ° C.), the process proceeds to step S5 and the exhaust bypass device. The exhaust bypass valve 42 of 40 is opened, and the process proceeds to step S6, where control for driving the electric compressor 32 of the electric supercharger 30 is performed.

In step S7, a starter switch ON operation signal is received, and the starter provided in the engine 1 is driven by electric power. When the starter is driven, the rotational speed of the crankshaft of the engine 1 is detected by the rotational speed sensor j. The rotational speed of the crankshaft is read into the electronic control unit 50.

When the engine 1 is cold, the electric supercharger 30 is operated to increase the charging efficiency of the intake air into the combustion chamber, so that the piston ring and valve seat when the movement of the piston in the combustion chamber is in the compression stroke Even if intake air leaks from the periphery, the amount of intake air is sufficient, so that an actual compression ratio can be secured so that combustion necessary for starting can be obtained. For this reason, the startability in the cold state can be improved.

The driving of the electric supercharger 30 and the maintenance of the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 at the time of starting may be performed when the outside air temperature is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature regardless of the coolant temperature. Alternatively, the cooling water temperature condition and the outside air temperature condition may be combined, and for example, the cooling water temperature may be a predetermined water temperature or lower and the outside air temperature may be a predetermined temperature or lower. The driving of the electric supercharger 30 and the maintenance of the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 at the start of the engine are particularly effective in improving startability when the engine is cold or when the outside air temperature is low.

Here, it is desirable that driving of the electric supercharger 30 at the time of engine start is performed at least until the engine start is completed. In this embodiment, when the start of the engine is completed, the starter is stopped, and at the same time, the driving of the electric supercharger 30 is stopped to reduce the power consumption (see Step S8, Step S9, and Step S10). ).

Whether the start of the engine 1 is completed can be determined by the start determination means 55 provided in the electronic control unit 50 based on the fluctuation of the rotational speed of the crankshaft of the engine 1. As shown by reference sign p1 in FIG. 2, when crankshaft rotation speed reaches the complete explosion speed during cranking by driving the starter, the completion of the start (complete explosion) is determined.

A period t1 in FIG. 2 indicates a period for driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42, which is performed from when the ignition starter switch in this embodiment is turned on until the start is completed. ing.

As a modified example of the embodiment, the period for driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 is set not only for the period t1 but also for the period that includes t1 and t2. May be. The period t2 is set up to the time when the overshoot of the rotational speed at the start ends.

Further, in the control of the engine 1, the valve over is in a state where both the intake valve that opens and closes the opening of the intake passage 4 to the combustion chamber and the exhaust valve that opens and closes the opening of the exhaust passage 14 to the combustion chamber are opened. A lap period is set.

During the valve overlap period, the so-called blow-through phenomenon in which the intake air introduced from the intake port 3 into the combustion chamber flows out to the exhaust port 13 is likely to occur. If the blow-through phenomenon occurs, the efficiency of charging the intake air into the combustion chamber is reduced. In this case, driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the exhaust bypass valve 42 in the closed state increase the pressure of the exhaust port, and startability Highly effective for improvement.

The closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 is maintained at least until the start of the engine is completed, and the exhaust bypass valve 42 is opened after the start of the engine is completed (see step S11 and step S12). The switching of the exhaust bypass valve 42 from the closed state to the open state can be performed simultaneously with the stop of the drive of the electric supercharger 30 or after the stop of the drive. After the start of the engine is completed, exhaust pump loss and residual combustion gas can be reduced at an early stage by opening the exhaust bypass valve 42 and lowering the exhaust port pressure.

At this time, the setting of the exhaust bypass valve 42 to the open state may be a period t4 in FIG. 2 in which the rotation of the engine 1 is stabilized and the temperature raising control of the exhaust purification unit 15 is started, or immediately before the overshoot before that. It is good also as a period which combined t3 and t4 including period t3. Further, when the driving of the electric supercharger 30 is completed in the period t1, the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 may be a period in which the periods t2, t3, and t4 are combined.

In this embodiment, the exhaust bypass device 40, that is, the waste gate valve device is electrically controlled, so that it can be driven even when the supercharging pressure is low, and more precise control is possible. Although it may be controlled by a pneumatic actuator, the effect is reduced because the waste gate valve is operated after the pressure is generated. At this time, it is desirable to use a negative pressure type using a vacuum pump.

In this embodiment, in order to determine whether or not the engine 1 is in the cold state, the temperature of the cooling water that cools the cylinder block and the like of the engine 1 is used. You may use the temperature of the oil, the temperature of the member which comprises the cylinder block of the engine 1, etc.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The main configuration of the engine 1 in the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment described above corresponding to FIG. Hereinafter, the control at the time of starting of the engine 1 in the second embodiment will be described based on the graph of FIG. 2, the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S21, the driver makes a start request for the engine 1 with an ignition starter switch. *

In response to the starter switch ON operation signal, the accelerator opening detected by the accelerator opening sensor k, the coolant temperature detected by the water temperature sensor i, and the like are read into the electronic control unit 50 in step S22. . When the engine 1 includes an outside air temperature sensor h that detects the temperature of the outside air, the information on the outside air temperature is read into the electronic control unit 50 together with each of the above information, and the following temperature and cold states are set. It may be used for determination and other control.

If it is determined in step S23 that the engine 1 is in a warm state, that is, if the coolant temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined water temperature (for example, 60 ° C.) that is a reference value, the process proceeds to step S24, and the exhaust bypass is performed. Control for opening the exhaust bypass valve 42 of the device 40 is performed. As the start of the engine 1 in the warm state, for example, a situation of restart from an idling stop, a case where the vehicle is stopped and the engine is stopped, and then immediately restarted to start are considered.

Further, when it is determined that the engine 1 is in a cold state at the start, that is, when the coolant temperature is lower than a predetermined water temperature (for example, 60 ° C.) that is a reference value, the process proceeds to step S25, and the exhaust gas is exhausted. Control for closing the exhaust bypass valve 42 of the bypass device 40 is performed.

Subsequently, in step S26, the electric compressor 32 of the electric supercharger 30 is driven, and the supercharged intake air is introduced into the combustion chamber.

In step S27, in response to the starter switch ON operation signal, the starter provided in the engine 1 is driven by electric power. When the starter is driven, the rotational speed of the crankshaft of the engine 1 is detected by the rotational speed sensor j. The rotational speed of the crankshaft is read into the electronic control unit 50.

Since the exhaust bypass valve 42 is opened when the engine temperature is high, the influence of the back-flowing exhaust gas on the engine startability is suppressed, so that an increase in the pressure of the exhaust port 13 is suppressed. In any one of the cylinders 2 corresponding to the lap period, the exhaust gas flowing backward from the exhaust passage 14 toward the combustion chamber or the intake passage 4 can be quickly discharged toward the exhaust passage 14. For this reason, the intake air is smoothly introduced into the fuel chamber, and the startability of the engine 1 is improved. At this time, by driving the electric supercharger 30 together, the exhaust gas flowing backward to the combustion chamber or the intake passage 4 side can be discharged more rapidly toward the exhaust passage 14. For this reason, the startability in the warm state can be improved.

On the other hand, since the exhaust bypass valve 42 is closed when the engine is cold, which has a large influence on engine startability due to a decrease in the cranking speed, the pressure increase in the exhaust port 13 is promoted. In any cylinder 2 corresponding to the valve overlap period, the so-called blow-through phenomenon in which the intake air introduced from the intake port 3 into the combustion chamber flows into the exhaust port 13 as it is can be suppressed. From this, sufficient intake air can be filled into the combustion chamber. For this reason, the startability of the engine 1 is improved. At this time, the charging of the intake air into the combustion chamber can be further increased by driving the electric supercharger 30 together. For this reason, the startability in the cold state can be improved.

Here, it is desirable that driving of the electric supercharger 30 at the start of the engine 1 is performed at least until the start of the engine is completed in both the warm state and the cold state. In this embodiment, when the start of the engine is completed, the starter is stopped, and at the same time, the driving of the electric supercharger 30 is stopped to reduce power consumption (see Step S28, Step S29, and Step S30). ).

In the period t1 in FIG. 2, the electric supercharger 30 is driven and the exhaust bypass valve 42 is maintained in the open state during the period from the ON operation of the ignition starter switch to the completion of the start in the warm state of this embodiment. Shows the period.

However, as a modification of the control in the warm state, the period for driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the open state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 is not limited to the period t1, for example, t1 and t2. You may set to the period which united. The period t2 is set up to the time when the overshoot of the rotational speed at the start ends.

The open state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 at the start in the warm state is maintained at least until the start of the engine is completed, but is controlled so as to be open when the exhaust bypass valve 42 is closed. (Refer to step S31 and step S32). After the start of the engine is completed (see step S33), the exhaust bypass valve 42 is selected between an open state and a closed state by normal operation control.

Further, a period t1 in FIG. 2 is a period for driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42, which is performed from the ON operation of the ignition starter switch in the cold state to the completion of the start. It can also be.

However, as a modified example of the control in the cold state, the period of driving the electric supercharger 30 and maintaining the closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 is not limited to the period of t1, for example, t1 and t2. It may be set to a combined period. The period t2 is set up to the time when the overshoot of the rotational speed at the start ends.

The closed state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 at the start in the cold state is maintained at least until the start of the engine is completed, but the exhaust bypass valve 42 is opened after the start of the engine is completed. The switching of the exhaust bypass valve 42 from the closed state to the open state can be performed simultaneously with the stop of the drive of the electric supercharger 30 or after the stop of the drive. After the start of the engine is completed, exhaust pump loss and residual combustion gas can be reduced at an early stage by opening the exhaust bypass valve 42 and lowering the exhaust port pressure.

At this time, the setting of the exhaust bypass valve 42 to the open state may be a period t4 in FIG. 2 in which the rotation of the engine 1 is stabilized and the temperature raising control of the exhaust purification unit 15 is started, or immediately before the overshoot before that. It is good also as a period which combined t3 and t4 including period t3. Further, when the driving of the electric supercharger 30 is finished in the period t1, the open state of the exhaust bypass valve 42 may be a period in which the periods t2, t3, and t4 are combined.

In this embodiment, the temperature of the cooling water for cooling the cylinder block or the like of the engine 1 is used to determine whether the engine 1 is warm or cold. For example, you may use the temperature of the lubricating oil of the engine 1, the temperature of the member which comprises the cylinder block of the engine 1, etc.

Although the engine 1 of each of these embodiments is a four-cycle gasoline engine for automobiles, it is not limited to this embodiment, and the present invention can be applied to other types of gasoline engines as well as diesel engines.
