Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an engine control unit for controlling engine torque or engine rotation speed in accordance with target torque of an engine. Specifically, the present invention relates to an engine control unit including a phase advance compensator for compensating a target torque response delay through phase advance compensation.
  • An engine operates while it is balanced at engine rotation speed at which a characteristic of demanded load torque intersects a characteristic of torque generated by the engine.
  • An air intake quantity of an internal combustion engine such as a diesel engine is substantially constant independently of the engine rotation speed or engine load.
  • the engine torque is controlled by changing a fuel injection quantity injected into respective cylinders of the engine.
  • a diesel engine control unit disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Unexamined Publication No. H01-170741 calculates a basic injection quantity Q based on the engine rotation speed and an accelerator position by using a characteristic map shown in Fig. 6 or a formula. Then, the engine control unit calculates a command injection quantity QFIN by adding an injection quantity correction value considering engine cooling water temperature, intake air temperature and the like to the basic injection quantity Q. The engine control unit controls the engine torque by changing the fuel injection quantity in accordance with the command injection quantity QFIN.
  • the above engine control unit is configured so that the basic injection quantity Q becomes a predetermined injection quantity pattern (a governor pattern) with respect to the engine rotation speed for each accelerator position.
  • the governor pattern is publicly known as means for expressing a static torque characteristic with respect to the engine rotation speed and the accelerator position.
  • the governor pattern of the related art represents a static balancing characteristic of the torque between the accelerator position and the engine rotation speed. Therefore, a response time required for the engine torque to reach the target torque, acceleration performance and the like with respect to the change in the accelerator position cannot be represented by linear parameters. Accordingly, it is very difficult to comprehend the transition of the engine torque quantitatively based on an elapsed time. Therefore, when drivability (acceleration feeling or deceleration feeling) with respect to the change in the accelerator position is changed in the related art, the above balancing characteristic is changed through a trial and error process, or based on experiences of a skilled adjuster. As a result, man-hours and a cost are increased.
  • acceleration or deceleration feeling acceleration feeling or deceleration feeling
  • an engine control unit includes phase advance compensating means for setting a response of target torque of target torque setting means during a transitional period in which an accelerator position changes.
  • the target torque response with respect to the change in the accelerator position can be defined with an elapsed time quantitatively by using constants having physical meanings. Since acceleration or deceleration feeling (acceleration feeling or deceleration feeling) with respect to the change in the accelerator position can be quantitatively expressed with the elapsed time, adjustment of drivability can be simplified without depending on a trial and error process or experiences of a skilled person. Thus, man-hours can be reduced.

  • the ECU 10 electronically controls the suction control valve 4 of the supply pump 3 and the actuators of the multiple injectors 5.
  • the common rail 2 is required to continuously accumulate the fuel at the high pressure corresponding to the fuel injection pressure. Therefore, the supply pump 3 supplies the high-pressure fuel into the common rail 2 through a fuel pipe (a high-pressure passage) 11.
  • a pressure limiter 7 is disposed in a return pipe (a fuel return passage) 12 leading from the common rail 2 to a fuel tank 6.
  • the pressure limiter 7 is a pressure safety valve, which opens when the fuel pressure in the common rail 2 exceeds a limit set pressure for limiting the fuel pressure in the common rail 2 to the limit set pressure or under.

  • the discharge valve opens if the fuel pressure in the pressurizing chamber exceeds a predetermined value.
  • a leak port is disposed in the supply pump 3 for preventing an increase in the fuel temperature inside the supply pump 3 to high temperature. Leak fuel from the supply pump 3 is returned to the fuel tank 6 through leak pipes (fuel leak passages) 14, 16.
  • the suction control valve (the SCV, hereafter) 4 is disposed in a fuel supply passage leading from the feed pump to the pressurizing chamber inside the supply pump 3.
  • the SCV 4 regulates an opening area (an opening degree, a lifting degree of a valve member, or an opening area of a valve hole) of the fuel supply passage in order to change the fuel discharging quantity (a pump discharging quantity, a pump pressure-feeding quantity) of the fuel discharged from the supply pump 3.
  • the SCV 4 controls the fuel pressure in the common rail 2 (the common rail pressure), or the injection pressure of the fuel injected into the respective cylinders of the engine 1 through the injectors 5.

  • the fuel injection from the injector 5 of each cylinder of the engine 1 into the cylinder is controlled by turning on and off energization to an electromagnetic valve, which functions as the electromagnetic actuator for changing the fuel pressure in a back pressure control chamber of a command piston connected to the nozzle needle. More specifically, while the electromagnetic valve mounted in each injector 5 is open, the high-pressure fuel supplied from the common rail 2 into the back pressure control chamber is overflowed into a lower pressure side (the fuel tank 6) of a fuel system. Thus, the nozzle needle and the command piston are lifted against the biasing force of the needle biasing means so as to open the multiple injection holes formed in the tip end of the nozzle. Thus, the high-pressure fuel accumulated in the common rail 2 is injected into the combustion chamber of each cylinder of the engine 1. Thus, the engine 1 is operated. Leak fuel from the injector 5 is returned to the fuel tank 6 through leak pipes (fuel return passages) 15, 16.

Therefore, the drivability, or the acceleration or deceleration feeling (the acceleration feeling or the deceleration feeling) with respect to the change in the accelerator position corresponding to the transitional change in the depressed degree of the accelerator pedal by the operator, can be adjusted quite easily without depending on the trial and error process or the experiences of the skilled person. As a result, the man-hours for the adjustment can be reduced, so the cost can be reduced.
  • the peak gain K is decreased continuously or stepwise as the engine rotation speed NE increases, so the acceleration feeling with respect to the same change in the accelerator position ACCP is reduced as the engine rotation speed NE increases. More specifically, the peak gain K of the target torque TE with respect to the change in the accelerator position ACCP is changed continuously or stepwise in order to change the peak value of the target torque response with respect to the change in the accelerator position AC-CP.
  • the acceleration feeling or the deceleration feeling with respect to the change in the accelerator position ACCP can be changed flexibly. This scheme mainly affects the acceleration feeling or the deceleration feeling at the instant when the accelerator position ACCP is changed.
  • the time constant ⁇ of the phase advance compensation is increased continuously or stepwise as the engine rotation speed NE increases, so the extensibility of the engine torque or the engine rotation speed NE after the acceleration increases as the engine rotation speed NE increases. More specifically, the time constant ⁇ of the phase advance compensation is changed continuously or stepwise in accordance with the engine rotation speed NE to change the convergence time to the target torque after the acceleration or the deceleration.
  • the acceleration feeling or the deceleration feeling with respect to the change in the accelerator position ACCP can be changed flexibly.
  • This scheme mainly affects the extensibility of the engine torque or the engine rotation speed after the acceleration or the deceleration. For instance, if the time constant ⁇ is increased, the extensibility of the engine torque after the acceleration is increased as shown in Fig. 4(c) .
  • the present invention is applied to the common rail type fuel injection system (the pressure accumulation type fuel injection system) as an example of the fuel injection system of the internal combustion engine such as the diesel engine.
  • the present invention may be applied to a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine of a type that has no accumulation vessel or accumulation pipe such as a common rail and supplies the high-pressure fuel from the fuel supply pump directly into the fuel injection valves or the fuel injection nozzles through high-pressure pipes.
  • the command injection quantity QFIN, the command injection timing TFIN and the target common rail pressure PFIN are calculated by using the crank angle sensor 21 and the accelerator position sensor 22 as the operating condition detecting means for detecting the operating conditions of the engine 1.
  • the command injection quantity QFIN, the command injection timing TFIN and the target common rail pressure PFIN may be corrected with the detection signals (the engine operation information) outputted from the operating condition detecting means, such as the cooling water temperature sensor 23, the fuel temperature sensor 24 and the other sensors (for instance, an intake temperature sensor, an intake pressure sensor, a cylinder determination sensor, an injection timing sensor and the like).
  • a peak gain of target torque with respect to a change in an accelerator position from 40% to 70% is expressed by a constant K.
  • a time constant of phase advance compensation corresponding to a period for the target torque to change from a peak value to 63.2% of the peak value in the case where the accelerator position is changed from 40% to 70% is expressed by a constant ⁇ .
  • a target torque response with respect to the change in the accelerator position is calculated through a phase advance compensator (26) by using the peak gain K and the time constant ⁇ , which have physical meanings.
  • the target torque response with respect to the change in the accelerator position can be defined quantitatively, directly based on an elapsed time.
