Description

내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 장치 및 방법Apparatus and method for controlling evaporative gas purge of internal combustion engine
본 발명은 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 장치 및 방법에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 캐니스터에 포집된 연료 증발가스에 대한 퍼지를 제어하기 위한 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 장치 및 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for controlling an evaporative gas purge of an internal combustion engine, and more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for controlling an evaporative gas purge of an internal combustion engine for controlling purge of fuel evaporated gas collected in a canister.
일반적으로 터보 과급기가 탑재된 내연 기관에서는 배기 라인에 터보 과급기의 터빈이 설치되고, 흡기 라인에 터보 과급기의 컴프레서가 설치된다. 터빈은 엔진으로부터 배출된 배기가스의 내부 에너지에 의해 회전되고, 컴프레서는 터빈에 의해 회전되어 흡기 라인을 통해 안내된 흡입가스를 압축한다. 이에 따라 압축된 흡입가스가 내연 기관의 각각의 실린더로 공급되어 내연 기관의 열효율이 향상되고, 내연 기관의 단위 배기량 당 엔진 출력이 효과적으로 상승하게 된다.In general, in an internal combustion engine equipped with a turbocharger, a turbine of a turbocharger is installed in an exhaust line, and a compressor of a turbocharger is installed in an intake line. The turbine is rotated by the internal energy of the exhaust gas discharged from the engine, and the compressor is rotated by the turbine to compress the intake gas guided through the intake line. Accordingly, the compressed suction gas is supplied to each cylinder of the internal combustion engine, thereby improving the thermal efficiency of the internal combustion engine, and effectively increasing the engine output per unit displacement of the internal combustion engine.
최근 들어, 터보 과급기가 탑재된 내연 기관에는 저압 EGR(Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 장치가 제공된다. 저압 EGR 장치는, 배기 라인에 설치된 터빈의 하류측에 형성되는 분기부로부터 흡기 라인에 설치된 컴프레서의 상류측에 형성되는 합류부로 배기가스의 일부를 재순환시켜서 배기가스의 일부를 흡입가스와 혼합시키는 장치다. 이에 따라 터보 효율을 높이면서 질소산화물의 생성과 펌핑 손실의 발생을 억제할 수 있다.Recently, internal combustion engines equipped with turbochargers are provided with low pressure exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) devices. The low-pressure EGR device is a device that recycles a part of the exhaust gas to a confluence part formed on the upstream side of the compressor provided on the intake line from a branch formed on the downstream side of the turbine provided on the exhaust line, and mixes a part of the exhaust gas with the intake gas. . As a result, generation of nitrogen oxides and generation of pumping losses can be suppressed while increasing turbo efficiency.
한편, 연료탱크 내의 가솔린 및 디젤과 같은 연료는 주위 온도 증가와 연료 계통 내의 부압의 작용 등으로 인해 필연적으로 증발 가스를 발생시키게 되는데, 이러한 증발 가스가 대기로 방출되는 경우 대기를 오염시키는 문제가 발생한다. 이에 차량의 내연기관은 엔진이 정지되었을 때 캐니스터를 통해 연료탱크에서 발생하는 증발가스를 포집하고 엔진으로 공급하여 연소시키는 구조로 되어 있다. 캐니스터의 내부는 활성탄으로 채워져 있어, 엔진 정지 시 연료탱크에서 발생한 증발가스를 활성탄을 통해 흡수하여 포집한 후, 엔진이 다시 가동되어 주행이 시작되면 엔진 부압에 의하여 캐니스터에 포집된 증발가스가 엔진으로 공급된다.On the other hand, fuels such as gasoline and diesel in fuel tanks inevitably generate evaporated gas due to increased ambient temperature and negative pressure in the fuel system, and when such evaporated gas is released into the atmosphere, there is a problem of polluting the atmosphere. do. Accordingly, the internal combustion engine of the vehicle is configured to collect the boil-off gas generated in the fuel tank through the canister and supply the combustion engine to the engine when the engine is stopped. The inside of the canister is filled with activated carbon. When the engine is stopped, the canister absorbs and collects the evaporated gas generated from the fuel tank through the activated carbon. Then, when the engine is restarted and the vehicle starts running, the vaporized gas collected in the canister is returned to the engine by the engine negative pressure. Supplied.
이때, 터보 과급기가 장착된 내연기관의 경우, 과급 운전 영역에서는 흡기 매니폴드의 압력이 매우 높기 때문에, 캐니스터에 포집된 증발가스를 흡기 매니폴드를 통해 퍼지시키기 용이하지 않은 문제점이 존재한다. 이에 따라 증발가스의 누설로 인한 대기 오염 문제가 발생한다.At this time, in the case of the internal combustion engine equipped with the turbocharger, since the pressure of the intake manifold is very high in the supercharge operation region, there is a problem that it is not easy to purge the boil-off gas collected in the canister through the intake manifold. As a result, air pollution due to leakage of the boil-off gas occurs.

A detailed description of the operation of the differential pressure generation valve DPV will be given later.
캐니스터(CANISTER)는 연료탱크에서 발생한 증발가스를 포집한다. 전술한 것과 같이 엔진(ENGINE) 정지 시 연료탱크에서 발생한 증발가스는 캐니스터(CANISTER)의 내부에 채워진 활성탄을 통해 흡수되어 포집된 후, 엔진(ENGINE)이 다시 가동되어 주행이 시작되면 엔진(ENGINE) 부압에 의하여 엔진(ENGINE)으로 공급되어 연소된다. 캐니스터(CANISTER)의 일측에는 외부공기가 유입되는 유입구가 형성되어 있으며, 이에 따라 캐니스터(CANISTER) 내부로 유입된 외부공기를 통해 캐니스터(CANISTER) 내부의 활성탄에 흡착된 증발가스가 활성탄으로부터 용이하게 분리될 수 있다. 한편, 캐니스터(CANISTER)는 연료 이송 모듈 및 연료 탱크 압력 센서(FDM(Fuel Delivery Module) & TPS(Tank Pressure Sensor))와 연결되어 있다.Canister captures the boil-off gas from the fuel tank. As described above, when the engine is stopped, the evaporated gas generated from the fuel tank is absorbed and collected through activated carbon filled in the canister, and when the engine is started again, the engine starts to run. It is supplied to the engine by the negative pressure and burned. One side of the canister is formed with an inlet for the inflow of external air. Accordingly, the evaporated gas adsorbed to the activated carbon inside the canister is easily separated from the activated carbon through the outside air introduced into the canister. Can be. On the other hand, the canister (CANISTER) is connected to the fuel delivery module and the fuel tank pressure sensor (FDM (Fuel Delivery Module) & TPS (Tank Pressure Sensor)).
캐니스터(CANISTER)는 제1 퍼지 라인(10)을 통해 흡기 매니폴드와 연결되며, 제2 퍼지 라인(20)을 통해 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단과 연결된다. 제1 및 제2 퍼지 라인(10, 20) 상에는 역류 방지용 체크 밸브(CHECK_VALVE)가 설치된다. 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)는 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스를 제1 및 제2 퍼지 라인(10, 20) 간의 절환을 통해 엔진(ENGINE)의 흡기 매니폴드 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단 중 어느 하나로 퍼지한다. 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)는 솔레노이드 밸브로 구현될 수 있다.The canister CANISTER is connected to the intake manifold through the first purge line 10 and is connected to the front end of the compressor through the second purge line 20. On the first and second purge lines 10 and 20, check valves CHECK_VALVE for preventing backflow are installed. The canister purge valve (CPV) converts the boil-off gas collected in the canister to the first and second purge lines 10 and 20 through any one of the intake manifold of the engine ENGINE and the front end of the compressor. Purge one. The canister purge valve (CPV) may be implemented as a solenoid valve.
제어부(ECU)는 배기가스의 재순환을 위한 EGR 모드의 활성 여부, 및 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 작동 여부에 따라 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어하여 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스가 흡기 매니폴드 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단 중 어느 하나로 퍼지되도록 제어한다.The control unit ECU controls the switching of the canister purge valve CPV according to whether the EGR mode for exhaust gas recirculation is activated and whether the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated, so that the evaporated gas collected in the canister is discharged. Control to purge to either the intake manifold or the front end of the compressor.
상술한 구조에 기초하여, 본 실시예에 따른 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 장치의 동작 과정을 설명한다.Based on the above structure, an operation process of the evaporative gas purge control device of the internal combustion engine according to the present embodiment will be described.
먼저, 제어부(ECU)는 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스의 퍼지가 필요한지 여부를 판단한다. 즉, 제어부(ECU)는 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스를 소모시킬 필요가 있는지 여부를 우선적으로 판단하며, 이를 위해 제어부(ECU)는 캐니스터(CANISTER) 또는 연료탱크의 압력이 미리 설정된 일정 압력에 도달하였는지 여부, 또는 엔진(ENGINE) 정지 시간의 적산값이 미리 설정된 일정값에 도달하는지 여부 등을 판단하여 증발가스의 퍼지가 필요한지 여부를 판단할 수 있다.First, the control unit ECU determines whether a purge of the boil-off gas collected in the canister is required. That is, the control unit ECU first determines whether it is necessary to consume the boil-off gas collected in the canister, and for this purpose, the control unit ECU sets a predetermined pressure at which the pressure of the canister or the fuel tank is preset. It is possible to determine whether or not the purge of the boil-off gas is necessary by determining whether or not to reach, or whether the integrated value of the engine (ENGINE) stop time reaches a predetermined value.
증발가스의 퍼지가 필요한 것으로 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 배기가스의 재순환을 위한 EGR 모드가 활성화되어 있는지 판단한다(즉, 현재 EGR 밸브(EGR_VALVE)가 개방되어 배기가스의 재순환이 이루어지고 있는지 판단한다.).If it is determined that purge of the boil-off gas is necessary, the control unit ECU determines whether the EGR mode for recirculating the exhaust gas is activated (that is, whether the current EGR valve (EGR_VALVE) is open to recycle the exhaust gas). Judging).
EGR 모드의 활성 여부를 판단하는 과정이 갖는 의미를 설명하면, EGR 모드가 활성화된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 배기가스의 재순환에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 개도를 갖도록 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 제어한다. 이를 통해, EGR 라인(50)을 통한 배기가스의 재순환이 이루어지는 동시에 배가가스 재순환을 위해 형성된 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 활용하여 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스의 퍼지도 수행될 수 있다.The meaning of the process of determining whether the EGR mode is activated will be explained. When the EGR mode is activated, the control unit ECU has an opening degree for forming a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for recirculation of the exhaust gas. Control the differential pressure generating valve (DPV). Through this, the exhaust gas is recycled through the EGR line 50, and at the same time, purging of the boil-off gas collected in the canister may be performed by utilizing the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor formed for the exhaust gas recycle. .
반면, EGR 모드가 비활성화된 경우, 배기가스의 재순환이 이루어지고 있는 상태가 아니므로, 제어부(ECU)는 배가가스의 재순환에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압이 아닌, 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스를 퍼지시키기 위한 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 개도를 갖도록 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 제어한다.On the other hand, when the EGR mode is deactivated, since the exhaust gas is not recycled, the control unit ECU does not connect the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor required to recycle the exhaust gas to the canister. The differential pressure generation valve DPV is controlled to have an opening degree for forming a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor for purging the collected boil-off gas.
즉, 터보 과급기(TURBOCHARGER)의 과급 운전 영역에서 높은 흡기 매니폴드의 압력으로 인한 퍼지의 어려움을 해소하기 위해, 본 실시예의 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시켜 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성함으로써 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단으로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 유도하는 퍼지 제어를 수행하며, 배기가스의 재순환 및 증발가스의 퍼지를 병행하기 위해 EGR 모드의 활성 여부에 따른 차별적인 퍼지 제어를 수행함으로써 보다 효과적인 증발가스의 퍼지가 이루어질 수 있다.That is, in order to solve the difficulty of purging due to the pressure of the high intake manifold in the turbocharger turbocharger, the control unit ECU of the present embodiment operates the differential pressure generating valve DPV to operate the compressor. By forming the negative pressure of the front end, purge control is performed to induce the evaporation gas to be purged to the front end of the compressor, and the differential purge control according to the activation of the EGR mode in order to recirculate the exhaust gas and purge the boil off gas simultaneously. By performing the more effective purge of the boil-off gas can be made.
EGR 모드의 활성 여부에 따라 증발가스의 퍼지가 제어되는 과정을 보다 구체적으로 설명한다.The process of purging the boil-off gas according to whether the EGR mode is activated will be described in more detail.
제어부(ECU)는, EGR 모드가 활성화되어 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하고 있는 경우, 흡기 매니폴드의 부압 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 비교하여 더 큰 부압이 형성된 곳으로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어한다.The control unit ECU compares the negative pressure of the intake manifold and the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor when the EGR mode is activated and the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated. The switching of the canister purge valve (CPV) is controlled to purge.
즉, EGR 모드가 활성화되어 있는 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 배기가스의 재순환에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 개도를 갖도록 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 제어한다. 이때 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개도는 EGR 기반의 개도로서, 배기가스의 재순환량을 고려하여 제어부(ECU)에 미리 설정되는 조건에 따라 결정될 수 있다.That is, when the EGR mode is activated, the control unit ECU controls the differential pressure generating valve DPV to have an opening degree for forming a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for recycling the exhaust gas. In this case, the opening degree of the differential pressure generation valve DPV is an EGR-based opening degree, and may be determined according to a condition preset in the control unit ECU in consideration of the recycle amount of the exhaust gas.
EGR 모드가 활성화되어 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하는 경우, 도 2의 (b)에 도시된 것과 같이 배기가스의 재순환 및 증발가스의 퍼지가 동시에 수행되며, 즉 배기가스의 재순환을 위해 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동함으로써 형성되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 활용하여 증발가스의 퍼지 또한 동시에 수행될 수 있다.When the EGR mode is activated and the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) is operated, recycling of the exhaust gas and purging of the boil-off gas are simultaneously performed as shown in FIG. 2 (b), that is, generating the differential pressure for recycling the exhaust gas. The purge of the boil-off gas may also be performed simultaneously by utilizing the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor formed by operating the valve DPV.
다음으로, 제어부(ECU)는, EGR 모드가 비활성화된 경우로서 미리 설정된 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 따라 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하는 경우, 흡기 매니폴드의 부압 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 비교하여 더 큰 부압이 형성된 곳으로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어한다.Next, when the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated in accordance with a predetermined differential pressure generating valve operating condition when the EGR mode is deactivated, the control unit ECU controls the negative pressure of the intake manifold and the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor. The control of the canister purge valve (CPV) is controlled so that the boil-off gas is purged to a place where a greater negative pressure is formed.
구체적으로, EGR 모드가 비활성화되어 있는 경우, 배기가스의 재순환에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압 형성은 필요하지 않으며, 터보 과급 조건에서의 높은 흡기 매니폴드의 압력으로 인한 증발가스의 퍼지 곤란성을 해소하기 위해 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단으로 증발가스를 퍼지시키기 위한 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압 형성만이 필요하다. 이를 위해 제어부(ECU)는 우선적으로 현재 내연기관의 상태가 미리 설정된 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건을 만족하는지 판단한다. 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건은 엔진(ENGINE)의 부하율에 근거하여 결정되는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개폐 조건, 및 증발가스의 퍼지에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개도 정보를 포함한다.Specifically, when the EGR mode is deactivated, it is not necessary to form a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for recirculation of the exhaust gas, and it is difficult to purge the evaporated gas due to the pressure of the high intake manifold under the turbocharge condition. In order to solve this problem, only negative pressure formation at the front end of the compressor for purging the boil-off gas to the front end of the compressor is required. To this end, the control unit ECU first determines whether the state of the current internal combustion engine satisfies a preset differential pressure generation valve operating condition. The differential pressure generating valve operating condition is a differential pressure generating valve for forming the opening and closing conditions of the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) determined based on the load ratio of the engine (ENGINE), and the negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for purging the boil-off gas. (DPV) opening degree information is included.
구체적으로, 제어부(ECU)는 엔진(ENGINE)의 부하율에 따라 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 개폐시킬지 결정한다. 엔진(ENGINE)이 아이들(idle) 상태 또는 저부하 상태에 있는 경우, 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시켜(폐쇄시켜) 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단에 부압을 형성하면 엔진(ENGINE) 스톨(engine stall) 현상이 발생할 가능성이 있으므로 제어부(ECU)는 차압생생 밸브를 작동시키지 않는다. 반대로, 엔진(ENGINE)이 고부하 상태에 있는 경우, 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시켜 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단에 부압을 형성해도 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 동작 및 스로틀 밸브(THROTTLE_VALVE)의 개방 상태에 비추어 엔진(ENGINE) 스톨 현상이 발생할 가능성이 낮으므로 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시킨다.Specifically, the control unit ECU determines whether to open or close the differential pressure generation valve DPV according to the load ratio of the engine ENGINE. When the engine is in the idle or low load state, the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) is actuated (closed) to create a negative pressure at the front of the compressor, which causes the engine stall. ), The control unit ECU does not operate the differential pressure generation valve. On the contrary, when the engine ENGINE is in a high load state, even if a negative pressure is generated at the front end of the compressor by operating the differential pressure generating valve DPV, in view of the operation of the compressor and the open state of the throttle valve THROTTLE_VALVE The engine ECU operates the differential pressure generating valve DPV because the engine stall is unlikely to occur.
엔진(ENGINE)이 고부하 상태에 있어 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하는 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 따라 증발가스의 퍼지에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 개도를 갖도록 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 제어한다. 이때 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개도는 퍼지 기반의 개도로서, 증발가스의 퍼지량을 고려하여 제어부(ECU)에 미리 설정되는 조건에 따라 결정될 수 있다.When the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated because the engine is in a high load state, the control unit ECU generates a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for purging the boil-off gas according to the differential pressure generating valve operating conditions. The differential pressure generating valve DPV is controlled to have an opening for In this case, the opening degree of the differential pressure generation valve DPV is a purge-based opening degree, and may be determined according to a condition preset in the control unit ECU in consideration of the purge amount of the boil-off gas.
EGR 모드가 비활성화된 상태로서 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하는 경우, 도 2의 (c)에 도시된 것과 같이 증발가스의 퍼지만이 수행되며, 즉 배기가스의 재순환이 수행되지 않더라도 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 따라 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 추가적으로 작동시켜 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성함으로써 보다 효과적인 증발가스의 퍼지가 이루어질 수 있도록 할 수 있다.When the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated with the EGR mode deactivated, only purge of the evaporated gas is performed as shown in FIG. 2C, that is, even if the exhaust gas is not recycled, the differential pressure generating valve is performed. Depending on the operating conditions, the differential pressure generating valve DPV may be additionally operated to form a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor, thereby enabling more efficient purge of the evaporated gas.
본 실시예에서는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시켜 증발가스를 일률적으로 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단으로 퍼지시키는 것이 아닌, 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시켜 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성한 후, 흡기 매니폴드의 부압과 비교하여 더 큰 부압이 형성된 곳으로 증발가스를 퍼지시키는 실시예를 채용한다. 이에 따라, 과급 운전 영역을 포함한 모든 운전 영역에서 언제나 높은 부압이 형성된 유로를 통해 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 제어함으로써 보다 효과적인 증발가스의 퍼지 제어를 수행할 수 있다.In this embodiment, instead of operating the differential pressure generating valve DPV to purge the boil-off gas to the front end of the compressor uniformly, the differential pressure generating valve DPV is operated to form the negative pressure at the front end of the compressor. Then, an embodiment is employed in which the boil-off gas is purged to a place where a larger negative pressure is formed compared to the negative pressure of the intake manifold. Accordingly, more efficient purge control of the boil-off gas can be performed by controlling the boil-off gas to be purged through a flow path in which a high negative pressure is always formed in all the drive regions including the boost-drive region.
한편 제어부(ECU)는, 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하지 않는 경우, 흡기 매니폴드로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어한다.On the other hand, the control unit ECU controls switching of the canister purge valve CPV so that the boil-off gas is purged to the intake manifold when the differential pressure generation valve DPV does not operate.
구체적으로, EGR 모드가 활성화된 경우라도 내연기관의 상태에 따라 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하지 않는 경우가 발생할 수 있으며, EGR 모드가 비활성화된 경우로서 엔진(ENGINE)이 아이들 또는 저부하 상태에 있는 경우 전술한 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 따라 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하지 않는다. 상기와 같이 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하지 않는 경우에는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단에 대기압 수준의 압력이 형성됨으로 인해 증발가스의 퍼지가 용이하지 않으므로, 제어부(ECU)는 흡기 매니폴드로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어한다.Specifically, even when the EGR mode is activated, the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) may not operate according to the state of the internal combustion engine, and when the EGR mode is deactivated, the engine (ENGINE) may be in an idle or low load state. If present, the differential pressure generating valve DPV does not operate according to the aforementioned differential pressure generating valve operating conditions. When the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) does not operate as described above, since the pressure at the atmospheric pressure level is formed at the front of the compressor, it is not easy to purge the boil-off gas, so that the control unit ECU sends the boil-off gas to the intake manifold. The switching of the canister purge valve (CPV) is controlled to purge.
도 3은 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 방법을 설명하기 위한 흐름도이고, 도 4는 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 방법에서 증발가스의 퍼지가 제어되는 과정을 구체적으로 설명하기 위한 흐름도이다.3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the evaporated gas purge of the internal combustion engine according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a purge of the evaporated gas in the method for controlling the evaporated gas purge of the internal combustion engine according to an embodiment of the present invention Is a flow chart for describing in detail the process that is controlled.
도 3을 참조하여 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 내연기관의 증발가스 퍼지 제어 방법을 설명하면, 먼저 제어부(ECU)는 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스의 퍼지가 필요한지 여부를 판단한다(S10). 즉, 제어부(ECU)는 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스를 소모시킬 필요가 있는지 여부를 우선적으로 판단한다.Referring to FIG. 3, a method of controlling an evaporative gas purge of an internal combustion engine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described. First, the control unit ECU determines whether purge of the evaporated gas collected in the canister is necessary (S10). ). That is, the control unit ECU first determines whether it is necessary to consume the boil-off gas collected in the canister.
이어서, 제어부(ECU)는 증발가스의 퍼지가 필요한 경우, 엔진(ENGINE)으로부터 배출된 배기가스의 재순환을 위한 EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 모드의 활성 여부, 및 터보 과급기(TURBOCHARGER)에 구비된 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 압력 및 대기압 간의 차압을 생성하는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 작동 여부에 따라 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어하여 캐니스터(CANISTER)에 포집된 증발가스가 엔진(ENGINE)의 흡기 매니폴드 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단 중 어느 하나로 퍼지되도록 제어한다(S20).Subsequently, when the purge of the boil-off gas is required, the control unit ECU may activate an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mode for recirculating the exhaust gas discharged from the engine ENGINE, and a compressor provided in the turbocharger TURBOCHARGER. The control of the canister purge valve (CPV) is controlled according to the operation of the differential pressure generating valve (DPV), which generates the differential pressure between the pressure at the front of the compressor and the atmospheric pressure, and the evaporated gas collected in the canister is controlled by the engine. Control to be purged to any one of the inlet manifold and the front end of the compressor (COMPRESSOR) (S20).
도 4를 참조하여 S20 단계를 보다 구체적으로 설명한다.Referring to Figure 4 will be described in more detail step S20.
S10 단계에서 증발가스의 퍼지가 필요하다고 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 배기가스의 재순환을 위한 EGR(Exhaust Gas Recirculation) 모드가 활성화되어 있는지 판단한다(S21).When it is determined in step S10 that purge of the boil-off gas is necessary, the control unit ECU determines whether an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) mode for recirculating the exhaust gas is activated (S21).
S21 단계에서 EGR 모드가 활성화되어 있는 것으로 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하고 있는지 판단한다(S22).When it is determined in step S21 that the EGR mode is activated, the control unit ECU determines whether the differential pressure generation valve DPV is operating (S22).
S22 단계에서 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하고 있지 않은 것으로 판단된 경우, 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단에 대기압 수준의 압력이 형성됨으로 인해 증발가스의 퍼지가 용이하지 않으므로, 제어부(ECU)는 흡기 매니폴드로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어한다(S27).If it is determined in step S22 that the differential pressure generation valve DPV is not in operation, since the pressure at the atmospheric pressure level is formed at the front of the compressor, it is not easy to purge the boil-off gas, so that the controller ECU controls the intake manifold. The switching of the canister purge valve (CPV) is controlled to purge the boil-off gas to the fold (S27).
S22 단계에서 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동하고 있는 것으로 판단된 경우(이때 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개도는 배기가스의 재순환에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 개도이다.), 제어부(ECU)는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압 및 흡기 매니폴드의 부압을 비교한다(S23).When it is determined in step S22 that the differential pressure generation valve DPV is operating (in this case, the opening degree of the differential pressure generation valve DPV is an opening degree for forming a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for recycling the exhaust gas. The control unit ECU compares the negative pressure at the front end of the compressor to the negative pressure at the intake manifold (S23).
S23 단계의 비교 결과, 제어부(ECU)는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압이 더 큰 경우에는 증발가스가 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단으로 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어하고(S24), 흡기 매니폴드의 부압이 더 큰 경우에는 증발가스가 흡기 매니폴드로 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브의 절환을 제어한다(S27).As a result of the comparison in step S23, the control unit ECU controls the switching of the canister purge valve CPV such that the evaporated gas is purged to the front of the compressor when the negative pressure at the front of the compressor is greater (S24). When the negative pressure of the intake manifold is greater, the switching of the canister purge valve is controlled so that the boil-off gas is purged to the intake manifold (S27).
한편, S21 단계에서 EGR 모드가 비활성화되어 있는 것으로 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 내연기관의 상태가 미리 설정된 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건을 충족하는지 판단한다(S25). 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건은 엔진(ENGINE)의 부하율에 근거하여 결정되는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개폐 조건, 및 증발가스의 퍼지에 요구되는 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 형성하기 위한 차압생성 밸브(DPV)의 개도 정보를 포함한다.On the other hand, when it is determined in step S21 that the EGR mode is deactivated, the control unit ECU determines whether the state of the internal combustion engine satisfies a predetermined differential pressure generation valve operating condition (S25). The differential pressure generating valve operating condition is a differential pressure generating valve for forming the opening and closing conditions of the differential pressure generating valve (DPV) determined based on the load ratio of the engine (ENGINE), and the negative pressure at the front end of the compressor required for purging the boil-off gas. (DPV) opening degree information is included.
S25 단계에서 내연기관의 상태가 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건을 충족하는 것으로 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 따른 개도를 갖도록 차압생성 밸브(DPV)를 작동시킨다(S26).When it is determined in step S25 that the state of the internal combustion engine satisfies the differential pressure generating valve operating condition, the controller ECU operates the differential pressure generating valve DPV to have an opening degree according to the differential pressure generating valve operating condition (S26).
S26 단계 이후, 흡기 매니폴드의 부압 및 컴프레서(COMPRESSOR)의 전단의 부압을 비교하는 S23 단계가 수행되고, 더 큰 부압이 형성된 곳으로 증발가스가 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브(CPV)의 절환을 제어하는 S24 단계 또는 S27 단계가 수행된다.After step S26, step S23 comparing the negative pressure of the intake manifold and the negative pressure of the front end of the compressor is performed, and controlling the switching of the canister purge valve (CPV) to purge the boil-off gas to the place where a larger negative pressure is formed. Step S24 or step S27 is performed.
한편, S25 단계에서 내연기관의 상태가 차압생성 밸브 작동 조건에 충족하지 않는 것으로 판단된 경우, 제어부(ECU)는 차압생성 밸브(DPV)가 작동시키지 않고 증발가스가 흡기 매니폴드로 퍼지되도록 캐니스터 퍼지 밸브의 절환을 제어한다(S27).On the other hand, if it is determined in step S25 that the state of the internal combustion engine does not meet the differential pressure generating valve operating condition, the control unit ECU does not operate the differential pressure generating valve DPV and purges the canister so that the evaporated gas is purged to the intake manifold. The switching of the valve is controlled (S27).
이와 같이 본 실시예는, EGR 시스템 및 터보 과급기가 탑재된 내연기관에서 흡기 매니폴드로 증발가스의 퍼지가 어려운 상황에서도 차압생성 밸브를 통해 컴프레서의 전단의 부압을 형성하여 증발가스가 컴프레서 전단으로 퍼지되도록 제어함으로써 캐니스터에 포집된 증발가스를 효과적으로 퍼지할 수 있다.Thus, in this embodiment, even in a situation where it is difficult to purge the evaporated gas from the internal combustion engine equipped with the EGR system and the turbocharger to the intake manifold, a negative pressure at the front end of the compressor is formed through the differential pressure generating valve to purge the evaporated gas to the compressor front end. By controlling so that the boil-off gas collected in the canister can be effectively purged.
