Description
La présente invention concerne un procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne équipant un véhicule automobile du type comportant un système électronique de commande de la quantité de carburant injectée.The present invention relates to a control method an internal combustion engine fitted to a vehicle automobile of the type comprising an electronic control of the quantity of fuel injected.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement un procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne équipant un véhicule automobile pour éliminer les éventuels phénomènes d'à-coups de couple pouvant survenir lors de conditions particulières de fonctionnement du véhicule.The invention relates more particularly to a method for controlling an internal combustion engine fitted to a motor vehicle to eliminate possible phenomena torque jerks that can occur under conditions vehicle operating conditions.
Il est connu que dans certaines conditions de fonctionnement d'un véhicule automobile équipé d'un moteur à combustion interne, notamment en régimes transitoires (accélérations vives, etc.), on observe des phénomènes d'oscillations du couple transmis aux roues du véhicule encore appelées à-coups qui affectent alors le confort des passagers du véhicule.It is known that under certain conditions of operation of a motor vehicle equipped with a internal combustion, especially in transient regimes (sharp accelerations, etc.), we observe phenomena torque oscillations transmitted to the vehicle wheels also called jerks which then affect the comfort of vehicle passengers.
Ces oscillations ont pour origine la chaíne cinématique liant le moteur à l'interface pneu/sol. En effet, l'énergie mécanique en bout de vilebrequin est transmise aux roues par un système de transmission comprenant traditionnellement un embrayage, une boíte de vitesses et un différentiel, qui possède un amortissement et une rigidité propre. Il en résulte donc, que toute variation brusque du couple moteur au niveau du vilebrequin est répercutée aux roues avec des oscillations dont l'importance va dépendre des caractéristiques du système de transmission.These oscillations originate from the chain kinematics linking the engine to the tire / ground interface. Indeed, mechanical energy at the end of the crankshaft is transmitted to wheels by a transmission system comprising traditionally a clutch, a gearbox and a differential, which has damping and stiffness clean. It therefore follows that any sudden variation in the engine torque at the crankshaft is passed on to wheels with oscillations whose importance will depend on characteristics of the transmission system.
Pour remédier à ces oscillations de couples, de nombreuses stratégies ont été élaborées. Il est ainsi connu dans l'art antérieur, notamment par les documents EP-A-461504 et WO-A-90/06441, de réguler le couple d'un moteur de façon à réduire ou supprimer la perception des oscillations de couple, par le conducteur du véhicule. Pour ce faire, les paramètres de contrôle des moteurs du type à commande électronique de l'injection, à savoir le temps d'injection ou l'avance à l'allumage sont ajustés pour éliminer les oscillations en effectuant la surveillance du couple moteur aux roues et en corrigeant dans la boucle de commande la valeur du ou des paramètres de contrôle choisis en fonction de l'amplitude des oscillations détectées.To remedy these couple oscillations, many strategies have been developed. He is thus known in the prior art, in particular by documents EP-A-461504 and WO-A-90/06441, to regulate the torque of an engine so as to reduce or eliminate the perception of the oscillations of torque, by the driver of the vehicle. To do this, control type motor control parameters injection electronics, i.e. injection time or the ignition advance are adjusted to eliminate oscillations by monitoring the motor torque to the wheels and correcting in the control loop the value of the control parameter (s) chosen as a function the amplitude of the oscillations detected.
De telles méthodes présentent toutefois certains inconvénients, à savoir une grande complexité dans la relation liant la variation du couple et la correction à apporter au (ou aux) paramètres de contrôle choisis nécessitant l'utilisation de systèmes électroniques de commande de fortes capacités et par ailleurs le non traitement de l'à-coup initial puisque les corrections ne sont opérées qu'après détection des premières oscillations du véhicule.However, such methods have certain disadvantages, namely a great complexity in the relationship between torque variation and correction to bring to the chosen control parameter (s) requiring the use of electronic systems of command of high capacities and moreover the no treatment of the initial jerk since the corrections do not are operated only after detection of the first oscillations of the vehicle.
Le but de la présente invention est donc de proposer un procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne qui remédie aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur en supprimant l'apparition de tout à-coups et ce de façon particulièrement simple.The aim of the present invention is therefore to propose a method of controlling an internal combustion engine which remedies the disadvantages of the prior art by removing the appearance of sudden and particularly simple.
Le procédé selon l'invention, a trait au contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne équipant un véhicule automobile du type comportant un système électronique de commande de l'injection de carburant coopérant avec des moyens de détection des conditions de fonctionnement du moteur, ce procédé permettant de calculer la quantité de carburant à injecter en fonction des conditions de fonctionnement du moteur suivant une formule appropriée. Dans des conditions d'accélération prédéterminées, la formule de calcul est corrigée pour appauvrir la quantité de carburant injectée de façon à produire une accélération progressive sans à-coups (à comparer avec FR-A- 2 414 629).The method according to the invention relates to control an internal combustion engine fitted to a vehicle automobile of the type comprising an electronic control system for fuel injection cooperating with means for detecting engine operating conditions, this process making it possible to calculate the quantity of fuel to be injected according to the conditions of engine operation according to an appropriate formula. In predetermined acceleration conditions, the calculation formula is corrected to deplete the amount of fuel injected so as to produce a smooth progressive acceleration (compare with FR-A- 2 414 629).
Selon l'invention, le procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention est caractérisé en ce que dans des conditions d'accélération prédéterminées, la formule de calcul est corrigée prenant en compte l'estimation de l'intensité de l'accélération. According to the invention, the method for controlling an internal combustion engine object of the invention is characterized in that under acceleration conditions predetermined, the calculation formula is corrected taking into account the estimation of the intensity of the acceleration.
L'estompage du couple moteur induit par l'appauvrissement des quantités de carburant injectées permet de supprimer, ou pour le moins de réduire, la perception de l'à-coup initial et les balancements résultant. Contrairement aux méthodes connues, cette solution procède par anticipation en identifiant des conditions particulières de fonctionnement propices à l'apparition des à-coups de couple et en mettant alors immédiatement en oeuvre une stratégie de correction.The reduction in engine torque induced by the depletion of the quantities of fuel injected allows to suppress, or at least to reduce, the perception of the initial jerk and the resulting swings. In contrary with known methods, this solution proceeds in anticipation identifying specific operating conditions conducive to the appearance of torque jolts and putting then immediately implement a remedial strategy.
Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention, dans les conditions d'accélération prédéterminées, un terme correctif est introduit dans la formule pour appauvrir la quantité de carburant ainsi calculée, ce terme correctif étant ensuite graduellement modifié pour ramener la correction à zéro.According to another characteristic of the control of an internal combustion engine object of the invention, under the conditions of acceleration predetermined, a corrective term is introduced in the formula to deplete the amount of fuel as well calculated, this corrective term then being gradually modified to bring the correction to zero.
L'appauvrissement opéré est ainsi ajusté aussi bien pour ce qui est de son niveau que de sa durée, de façon à conserver un temps de réponse satisfaisant du véhicule à la demande d'accélération du conducteur et de façon à ne pas accroítre les émissions de polluants.The operated depletion is thus adjusted as well in terms of level and duration, so that maintain a satisfactory response time from the vehicle to the driver acceleration request and so as not increase pollutant emissions.
Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention, les conditions d'accélération prédéterminées comprennent les phases d'accélération survenant consécutivement à une phase de décélération.According to another characteristic of the control of an internal combustion engine object of the invention, the predetermined acceleration conditions include the acceleration phases occurring following a deceleration phase.
Il est en effet apparu que parmi les régimes transitoires ceux définis par l'enchaínement d'une phase de décélération suivi d'une phase d'accélération étaient générateurs des à-coups les plus violents, et que leur traitement permettait de supprimer la perception des à-coups de couples pour le conducteur.Indeed, it appeared that among the diets transient those defined by the sequence of a phase of deceleration followed by an acceleration phase were the most violent jolts, and that their treatment eliminated the perception of jolts of couples for the driver.
Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention, la phase de décélération est définie d'une part, par le maintien de la pédale d'accélérateur dans la position pied levé pendant une durée supérieure à une première valeur de seuil et d'autre part, par une vitesse du véhicule automobile supérieure à une seconde valeur de seuil.According to another characteristic of the control of an internal combustion engine object of the invention, the deceleration phase is defined on the one hand, by keeping the accelerator pedal in the position foot raised for a period greater than a first value threshold and secondly, by a vehicle speed automobile greater than a second threshold value.
Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention, le niveau et la durée de l'appauvrissement de la quantité de carburant injectée prennent en compte les conditions de fonctionnement du moteur.According to another characteristic of the control of an internal combustion engine object of the invention, the level and duration of the depletion of the amount of fuel injected take into account engine operating conditions.
Selon une autre caractéristique du procédé de contrôle d'un moteur à combustion interne objet de l'invention, l'intensité de l'accélération est directement déduite du déplacement de la pédale d'accélérateur ainsi que de la vitesse de ce déplacement. According to another characteristic of the control of an internal combustion engine object of the invention the intensity of the acceleration is directly deduced from the movement of the accelerator pedal as well as of the speed of this movement.

control of the
Lors de certaines accélérations du véhicule, la formule de calcul de la quantité de carburant est corrigée pour appauvrir temporairement la quantité de carburant injectée de façon à limiter le couple moteur et produire une accélération progressive sans à-coups. La figure 2 illustre l'influence lors de telles accélérations de l'appauvrissement sur le couple C transmis aux roues du véhicule, la courbe (I) correspondant à la mise en oeuvre de la formule sans correction tandis que la courbe (II) correspondant à la mise en oeuvre de la correction selon l'invention.During certain vehicle accelerations, the formula for calculating the amount of fuel is corrected to temporarily deplete the amount of fuel injected so as to limit the engine torque and produce a smooth acceleration. Figure 2 illustrates influence during such accelerations of impoverishment on the torque C transmitted to the vehicle wheels, the curve (I) corresponding to the implementation of the formula without correction while the curve (II) corresponding to the bet implementation of the correction according to the invention.
Les conditions d'accélération prédéterminées pendant lesquelles est mis en oeuvre la correction selon l'invention sont les phases d'accélération survenant immédiatement après une phase de décélération.The predetermined acceleration conditions during which correction is implemented according to the invention are the acceleration phases occurring immediately after a deceleration phase.
Pour identifier la survenue de telles conditions le
système de contrôle 7 dispose de l'information position de la
pédale d'accélérateur soit par un capteur adapté soit encore
par l'intermédiaire du capteur de position du papillon de
gaz. La phase de décélération est alors définie par la
reconnaissance de la position pied levé de la pédale
d'accélérateur.To identify the occurrence of such conditions the
Pour discriminer les phases de démarrage et les phases de changement de vitesses, des conditions supplémentaires sont imposées à savoir le maintien de la pédale d'accélérateur dans la position pied levé pendant une durée supérieure à une valeur de seuil et d'autre part une vitesse du véhicule automobile supérieure à une valeur de seuil, ces valeurs étant préalablement calibrées au banc d'essai. Lorsque ces conditions sont réunies un registre d'état spécifique est alors mis à 1 et dès qu'une demande d'accélération est identifiée par l'enfoncement de la pédale d'accélérateur, la stratégie d'appauvrissement selon l'invention est déclenchée.To discriminate between start-up phases and gear change phases, conditions additional are imposed namely the maintenance of the accelerator pedal in the raised foot position during a duration greater than a threshold value and secondly a motor vehicle speed greater than a value of threshold, these values being previously calibrated on the bench test. When these conditions are met a register specific status is then set to 1 and as soon as a request acceleration is identified by depressing the pedal accelerator, the impoverishment strategy according to the invention is launched.
Pour ce faire, on introduit un terme correctif dans la formule de calcul de la quantité de carburant à injecter sitôt les conditions particulières de d'accélération identifiées. Ce terme correctif peut par exemple prendre la forme d'un gain multiplicatif G tel que représenté à la figure 3. Le gain G est initialement porté à une certaine valeur prédéterminée comprise strictement entre "0" et "1", puis il est ensuite graduellement ramené à la valeur "1" par des augmentations successives opérées à chaque Point Mort Haut, de façon à ramener la correction à zéro au bout d'un laps de temps ajusté. To do this, we introduce a corrective term in the formula for calculating the quantity of fuel to be injected as soon as the special conditions of acceleration identified. This corrective term can for example take the form of a multiplicative gain G as shown in figure 3. The gain G is initially brought to a certain predetermined value strictly between "0" and "1", then it is then gradually reduced to the value "1" by successive increases at each breakeven point High, so as to bring the correction to zero after one adjusted time frame.
La valeur initiale puis l'évolution du gain G sont déduites de tables prédéterminées prenant en compte les conditions de fonctionnement du moteur et notamment les valeurs du régime moteur, de la pression dans le collecteur d'admission, et du rapport de boíte de vitesses engagé. Bien évidemment, il est également possible d'adapter la valeur du gain G en fonction des valeurs prises par d'autres paramètres caractéristiques du fonctionnement moteur. Par ailleurs, ce gain G est également ajusté en fonction d'une estimation de l'intensité de l'accélération déduite du déplacement de la pédale d'accélérateur ainsi que de la vitesse de ce déplacement.The initial value then the evolution of the gain G are deduced from predetermined tables taking into account the engine operating conditions including engine speed, manifold pressure values intake, and gearbox gear engaged. Well obviously it is also possible to adjust the value of the gain G as a function of the values taken by other parameters characteristics of engine operation. Furthermore, this gain G is also adjusted based on an estimate of the intensity of the acceleration deduced from the displacement of the accelerator pedal as well as the speed of this displacement.
La grande simplicité du procédé développé permet son implantation même sur des calculateurs de capacité limitée.The great simplicity of the developed process allows its installation even on computers with limited capacity.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.Of course, the invention is in no way limited to described and illustrated embodiment which has only been given as an example.
Ainsi le système de contrôle moteur peut s'appliquer à la commande d'une injection monopoint. Il peut également être utilisé pour les moteurs à allumage par compression comportant un dispositif électronique de commande de la quantité de carburant injectée.So the engine control system can be applied when ordering a single-point injection. He can also be used for compression ignition engines comprising an electronic device for controlling the amount of fuel injected.
