Description

  The present invention relates to a fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine that includes an in-cylinder injector that directly injects fuel into a cylinder and an intake passage injector that injects fuel into an intake passage (including an intake port).

Conventionally, as this type of internal combustion engine, there is an internal combustion engine described in Patent Document 1, for example.
This internal combustion engine injects fuel into an intake port (intake passage) through an intake passage injection injector, thereby sufficiently mixing air and fuel to achieve highly homogeneous combustion (homogeneous combustion). . On the other hand, when fuel is directly injected into the combustion chamber through the in-cylinder injector, fuel is improved by, for example, injecting fuel at the latter stage of the compression process and performing stratified combustion (lean combustion). The in-cylinder injector can also perform the above-described homogeneous combustion by sufficiently mixing air and fuel so that the air-fuel ratio is substantially the same in the entire combustion chamber. That is, in this case, the fuel is injected during the intake stroke of the engine, so that the diffusion time of the fuel is increased, and thereby the air and the fuel are mixed almost uniformly to perform combustion. If homogeneous combustion is performed by this in-cylinder injector, the inside of the cylinder is cooled by the latent heat of vaporization of the fuel directly injected into the combustion chamber, and the amount of intake air is also increased thereby. Combustion with high charging efficiency) can be performed, and as a result, output can be improved.

  By the way, in an injector that injects fuel accumulated in a fuel pipe, particularly an in-cylinder injector that injects high-pressure fuel accumulated in a high-pressure fuel pipe, the residual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe is maintained even when the engine is stopped. If kept at a high pressure, fuel may leak out from a small gap in the injector valve. This fuel leakage increases as the residual fuel pressure increases, and the effect becomes more prominent as the engine stop time is prolonged. If the engine is started in a state in which such fuel leakage occurs, the leaked fuel adheres to the combustion chamber and deteriorates the combustion state, and unburned gas (HC) in the exhaust gas is deteriorated. ) And the air-fuel mixture self-ignites (pre-ignition) in the compression stroke before ignition control is performed.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine that can suitably suppress fuel leakage from an injector, particularly an in-cylinder injector. There is.

In the following, means for achieving the above object and its effects are described.
The invention according to claim 1 includes an in-cylinder injector that directly injects fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, and an intake passage injector that supplies fuel into the intake passage of the engine, and operates the engine. In a fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine that controls the fuel injection mode by these injectors based on the state, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector is monitored in the fuel injection region by the intake passage injector. The gist of the invention is to forcibly execute fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector when the fuel pressure exceeds a predetermined value that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine stops.

  According to such a configuration, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector to be monitored in the fuel injection region by the intake passage injector is more than a predetermined value that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine stops. As a result, fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is forcibly executed. For this reason, it becomes possible to accurately reduce the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe while maintaining the engine operation state, and thereafter, even when the operation of the engine is stopped, the injector, particularly for in-cylinder injection. The fuel leakage from the injector can be suitably suppressed.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to the first aspect, the monitored fuel pressure is higher than the predetermined value and the engine is in an operating state. The gist of executing the assist injection by the intake passage injector when the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is forcibly executed when the assist injection by the intake passage injector is in a predetermined range. And

  According to such a configuration, the fuel pressure to be monitored is higher than a predetermined value that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine is stopped, and the assist injection by the intake manifold injector is required in the operating state of the engine. , That is, if it is determined that the remaining fuel pressure is within the range of the residual fuel pressure that would impede combustion only by the forced execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector, the assist injection by the intake manifold injector is also performed. It is executed together. As a result, it is possible to suitably suppress the deterioration of combustibility while reliably reducing the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to the second aspect, the in-cylinder injection is performed when the monitored fuel pressure becomes a high value exceeding the predetermined range. The main point is to execute only the fuel injection by the injector.

  According to such a configuration, only the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is positively executed when the monitored fuel pressure exceeds the predetermined range and becomes a high value. As a result, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector is also quickly reduced, and fuel leakage from the in-cylinder injector is particularly suitably suppressed even when the engine operation is stopped thereafter. Will come to be.

  The invention according to claim 4 includes an in-cylinder injector that directly injects fuel into a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, and an intake passage injector that supplies fuel into the intake passage of the engine, In a fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine that controls a fuel injection mode by these injectors based on an engine operating state, a fuel pressure in a fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector in a fuel injection region by the intake passage injection injector Monitoring, when the fuel pressure exceeds a predetermined first value that becomes excessive as a residual pressure after the engine stops, fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is forcibly executed, and the fuel pressure to be monitored is A predetermined value that is higher than a predetermined first value and requires assist injection by the intake manifold injector in an operating state of the engine; When more than 2 values, in accordance with the forcing of the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector, and its gist to perform an assist injection by the intake manifold injector.

According to such a configuration, (b) in-cylinder injection when the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector to be monitored becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined first value that becomes excessive as a residual pressure after the engine stops. The fuel injection by the injector is forcibly executed.
(B) The fuel pressure in the fuel pipe is higher than the predetermined first value, and is equal to or lower than a predetermined second value that requires the assist injection by the intake manifold injector in the operating state of the engine. In other words, that is, when it is determined that the fuel remaining pressure is within the range of the fuel remaining pressure only by the forced execution of the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector, the assist injection by the intake passage injector is also executed. .
In this manner, fuel injection control is performed. As a result, as described above, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector can be reliably reduced, and the deterioration of combustibility can be suitably suppressed. After that, even when the operation of the engine is stopped, fuel leakage from the injector, in particular, the in-cylinder injector can be suitably suppressed.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to the fourth aspect, when the monitored fuel pressure becomes a high value exceeding the predetermined second value, The gist is to execute only fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector.

  Even in such a configuration, as in the case of the above-described third aspect, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector is quickly reduced, and then the cylinder operation is stopped. The fuel leakage from the internal injection injector is suitably suppressed.

  The invention according to claim 6 is the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe of the in-cylinder injector is monitored. The gist is that the fuel injection region by the intake passage injector is a fuel injection region corresponding to the low-load operation region of the engine.

  For example, in a low load rotation region such as an engine idle operation region, the engine is likely to stop thereafter. In this respect, according to the above-described configuration, the fuel injection is forcibly executed by the above-described in-cylinder injector in such an operating range. Therefore, even if the engine is actually stopped thereafter, Fuel injection from the injector for injection is suitably suppressed.

  The invention according to claim 7 is the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the forcible execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is “in-cylinder pressure”. The gist of the present invention is that it is performed in an engine operating state where the relationship of “≦ fuel pressure” is satisfied.

  Since the injection hole of the in-cylinder injector directly faces the cylinder, fuel injection by the injector cannot be performed under the condition that the combustion pressure is less than the in-cylinder pressure. In this respect, according to the above-described configuration for forcibly executing the fuel injection from the in-cylinder injector under the condition of “in-cylinder pressure ≦ fuel pressure”, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe can be reliably reduced. become able to.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention.
Hereinafter, the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The fuel injection control device according to this embodiment is basically the same as the conventional fuel injection control device described above, and an intake passage injection injector that supplies fuel to the intake port and fuel is injected and supplied to the combustion chamber. And an in-cylinder injector. However, in the fuel injection control device of this embodiment, fuel leakage from the injector, particularly from the in-cylinder injector, is suppressed through the control described below.

  As shown in FIG. 1, this fuel injection control device is configured around an internal combustion engine E which is a four-cycle reciprocating engine. Here, as the internal combustion engine E, a V-type 6-cylinder gasoline engine having six cylinders is assumed, but for convenience of explanation, only one cylinder is shown in FIG. The internal combustion engine E is mainly composed of a cylinder 1 having a cylinder block 1a and a cylinder head 1b connected to the upper portion of the cylinder block 1a, and a piston 2 reciprocating in the cylinder 1. Is done. In the cylinder 1, a combustion chamber 3 for combusting the air-fuel mixture is defined by an inner wall of the cylinder block 1a and the cylinder head 1b and the top surface of the piston.

  The cylinder head 1b is provided with an ignition plug 4 for igniting the air-fuel mixture in a manner protruding into the combustion chamber 3, and an in-cylinder injector 5 as fuel supply means for injecting and supplying fuel to the combustion chamber 3. It is installed. Further, an intake passage 6 and an exhaust passage 7 communicate with the combustion chamber 3 through an intake valve 8 and an exhaust valve 9, respectively. An intake port injection injector 10 is attached to the intake passage 6 as a fuel supply means for injecting and supplying fuel to the communicating portion of the intake passage 6 and the combustion chamber 3, that is, the intake port 6a. Although not shown, a throttle valve that opens and closes to adjust the intake air amount is provided upstream of the intake passage 6. Further, an air flow meter for detecting the intake air amount is disposed further upstream of the throttle valve.

  On the other hand, the internal combustion engine E is provided with a fuel supply system centered on a fuel tank T in which used fuel is stored. The fuel supply system is mainly configured to include a high-pressure fuel supply system H that supplies fuel to the in-cylinder injector 5 and a low-pressure fuel supply system L that supplies fuel to the intake port injector 10. The

  Among these, the high-pressure fuel supply system H pressurizes the low-pressure fuel pump (feed pump) P1 that sends out fuel from the fuel tank T and the fuel sent out by the low-pressure fuel pump P1 toward the fuel pipe D1. And a high-pressure fuel pump P2. The high-pressure fuel supply system H accumulates fuel in the fuel tank T in the fuel pipe D1. Specifically, the fuel further pressurized by the high-pressure fuel pump P2 is accumulated in the fuel pipe D1 with a pressure of 8 to 13 Mpa, for example, and this accumulated fuel is accompanied by opening of the in-cylinder injector 5. The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber 3 of the internal combustion engine E.

  The fuel pipe D1 is provided with a fuel pressure sensor 11 for detecting the fuel pressure (fuel pressure) in the pipe D1. The value of the fuel pressure detected by the fuel pressure sensor 11 is appropriately A / D (analog / digital) converted in an electronic control device 100 described later, and then a microcomputer provided in the electronic control device 100. Is taken in. In addition, a relief valve 12 is provided in the pipe D1, and when the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 becomes excessively high (for example, 13 Ma or more), the relief valve 12 is opened, and the inside of the pipe D1 The fuel is returned to the fuel tank T.

  On the other hand, the low-pressure fuel supply system L includes a low-pressure fuel pump P1 for sending fuel from the fuel tank T, and a fuel pipe D2 for delivering the fuel sent by the low-pressure fuel pump P1 to the intake port injector 10. Composed. The low-pressure fuel supply system L supplies the fuel in the fuel tank T to the fuel pipe D2. Specifically, the fuel pumped up from the fuel tank T by the low-pressure fuel pump P1 is supplied to the fuel pipe D2 with a feed pressure of, for example, about 0.3 Mpa, and the supplied fuel is opened in the intake port injector 10. Along with the valve, the fuel is injected into the intake port 6a of the internal combustion engine E. The surplus fuel supplied to the fuel pipe D2 is returned to the fuel tank T via an appropriate return path (not shown).

The apparatus of this embodiment is further provided with an accelerator sensor 13 and a rotation speed sensor 14.
Here, the accelerator sensor 13 is a sensor that is provided in the vicinity of an accelerator pedal (not shown) and detects its opening (depression amount), and the detected value is also appropriately A / D converted by the electronic control unit 100. After that, the data is taken into a microcomputer provided in the electronic control device 100.

  The rotation speed sensor 14 includes, for example, a rotor mounted on a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine and an electromagnetic pickup that is disposed in the vicinity of the rotor and detects the passage of protrusions provided on the outer periphery of the rotor. This is a sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the crankshaft and thus the rotation speed of the internal combustion engine E. The output of the rotational speed sensor 14 is appropriately waveform-shaped in the electronic control unit 100 and then sent to the microcomputer in the electronic control unit 100 as a pulse signal (NE pulse) corresponding to the rotational speed of the crankshaft. It is captured.

  Here, as described above, the electronic control device 100 includes a microcomputer, an A / D converter, a waveform shaping circuit, and a driver (driving circuit) for driving various actuators. Based on the signals from the respective sensors taken in, the ignition timing of the spark plug 4, the opening and closing of the intake port injector 10 and the in-cylinder injector 5, the driving of the low pressure fuel pump P1 and the high pressure fuel pump P2, Then, the metering mode of the intake air amount through the throttle valve is controlled.

Hereinafter, the fuel injection control by the fuel injection control device according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
First, the concept of the fuel injection control performed here will be described with reference to FIG. In the fuel injection control according to this embodiment, a fuel injection region corresponding to the low load operation region of the internal combustion engine E, specifically, the idle operation region is assumed as the fuel injection region by the intake port injector 10. ing. In this idle operation region, the fuel pumping operation by the high-pressure fuel pump P2 is stopped. The fuel pressure referred to below is the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 of the in-cylinder injector 5 monitored through the fuel pressure sensor 11.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in relation to the fuel pressure, in this fuel injection control, the fuel pressure is higher than the feed pressure by the low-pressure fuel pump P 1, and the fuel pressure is the residual pressure after the engine is stopped. When it is less than a predetermined value (first value) that is excessive, it is determined that the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D2 is sufficiently low and there is no residual fuel pressure. At this time, only fuel injection from the intake port injector 10 is performed. Incidentally, the feed pressure is, for example, 0.3 Mpa, and the predetermined value (first value) at which the fuel pressure becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine stops is a value of, for example, 3-4 Mpa or more.

On the other hand, when the fuel pressure exceeds a predetermined value (first value) that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine stops, fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 is forcibly executed.
However, here, the fuel pressure is higher than the predetermined value (first value), and is within a predetermined range that requires the assist injection by the intake port injector 10 in the operating state of the engine. Sometimes, in conjunction with the forced execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5, assist injection by the intake port injector 10 is executed. Here, the predetermined range in which the assist injection by the intake port injection injector is required in the operating state of the engine is the fuel remaining pressure that hinders combustion only by the forced execution of the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5. The range is, for example, the range of 3 to 4 Mpa (first value) to 10 to 12 Mpa. The upper limit value (10 to 12 Mpa) of this range is the predetermined second value.

On the other hand, when the fuel pressure is higher than the predetermined second value in the operating state of the engine, only fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 is executed.
As described above, when the fuel pressure is excessively high (for example, 13 Mpa or more), the relief valve 12 is opened and the fuel in the pipe D2 is returned to the fuel tank T.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a control procedure for performing fuel injection control in such a manner. This control is repeatedly executed through the electronic control device 100, for example, every predetermined time.

  In this fuel injection control, first, it is determined whether or not the operating state of the internal combustion engine E is in an idle operating range (step S101). This determination is made, for example, based on detection that the accelerator opening is “0”, that is, the accelerator pedal is not depressed, even though the internal combustion engine E is in operation.

  If it is determined that the engine operating state is the idle operating state, it is next determined whether or not there is a residual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 (step S102). In the determination in step S102, a signal corresponding to the fuel pressure (residual fuel pressure) in the fuel pipe D1 of the in-cylinder injector 5 is obtained through the fuel pressure sensor 11.

  This determination is performed, for example, by comparing the predetermined first value stored in advance in a nonvolatile memory in the electronic control unit 100 with the actual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1.

  If it is determined that there is residual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1, it is next determined whether or not assist injection by the intake port injection injector 10 is necessary (step S103). That is, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 is not less than the predetermined first value that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine stops, and the assist injection by the intake port injection injector 10 is performed in the operating state of the engine. It is determined whether or not the value is equal to or less than the required second value. This determination is also performed, for example, by comparing the first and second values stored in advance in the nonvolatile memory in the electronic control unit 100 with the actual fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1.

  If “YES” is determined in step S103, assist injection by the intake port injection injector 10 is executed in conjunction with forced execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 (step S104).

On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in step S103, only fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 is executed (step S105).
On the other hand, if it is determined in the previous step S102 that “NO”, that is, there is no residual pressure that needs to be reduced in the fuel pipe D1, only the fuel injection from the intake port injector is executed. (Step S106).

According to the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to this embodiment described in detail above, the excellent effects listed below can be obtained.
(1) When the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 of the in-cylinder injector 5 to be monitored in the idling operation region becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value (first value) that becomes excessive as the residual pressure after the engine is stopped, The fuel injection by the internal injection injector 5 is forcibly executed. As a result, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 can be reduced, and fuel leakage from the injector, particularly the in-cylinder injector 5 after the engine is stopped can be suitably suppressed. For this reason, the discharge of unburned components (fuel leaked as liquid) at the time of starting the engine can be suitably suppressed.

  (2) Forcible execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 when the monitored fuel pressure in the idle operation region is not less than the predetermined first value and not more than the predetermined second value. At the same time, the assist injection by the intake port injector 10 is executed. Thus, the fuel in the fuel pipe D1 is suppressed while the deterioration of the combustion state due to the fuel injection in the state where the residual pressure in the fuel pipe D1, that is, the fuel injection pressure of the in-cylinder injector 5 is reduced. It is possible to reliably reduce the pressure.

  (3) When the fuel pressure to be monitored in the idle operation region becomes a high value exceeding the predetermined second value, only the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector is positively executed. This also makes it possible to reliably reduce the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1, and to suitably suppress fuel leakage from the in-cylinder injector 5 after the engine is stopped.

  Note that the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be implemented as, for example, the following embodiment in which the embodiment is appropriately changed.

  -As the relief valve 12 provided in the said fuel piping D1, you may make it employ | adopt the electromagnetic relief valve controlled by an electronic controller. By using such an electromagnetic relief valve in combination with the above-described fuel injection control, it is possible to more reliably reduce the residual pressure in the fuel pipe D1.

  The specific values for the feed pressure and the first and second values exemplified in the above embodiment are merely examples. As these values, arbitrary values can be set according to the specifications of the target internal combustion engine, changes with time, and the like.

  In the above embodiment, although not particularly mentioned, since the injection hole of the in-cylinder injector 5 faces the inside of the cylinder (combustion chamber 3), the actual situation is “in-cylinder pressure ≦ fuel pressure” The fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 is forcibly executed under the condition that the relationship “is satisfied”. As a result, forced execution of fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5 is reliably achieved, and the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 is also reliably reduced. The in-cylinder pressure can be obtained using a map or the like associated in advance corresponding to the operating state of the internal combustion engine E or the like.

  In the above embodiment, the fuel injection control is performed by determining whether or not the engine operation state is the idle operation state, but it is determined not only in the idle operation region but only in the low load operation region. The same control may be performed. That is, the fuel injection control may be performed not only in the idling state but also on the basis of detection that the brake is depressed or detection that the P (parking) range is reached. Even in such a case, an effect similar to or equivalent to that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  Further, the fuel injection control may be performed only by determining whether or not the operating state of the internal combustion engine E is the injection region of the intake port injection injector. Even in this case, an effect similar to or equivalent to the above embodiment can be obtained. As described above, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 can be accurately reduced by executing the control immediately after entering the injection region of the intake port injector 10. In such an engine, it is easy to increase the pressure in the fuel pipe D1 through the high-pressure fuel pump P2.

Further, the fuel pressure in the fuel pipe D1 has a high correlation with its temperature. For this reason, you may make it monitor the said fuel pressure using a suitable temperature sensor.
When performing the assist injection by the intake port injection injector 10 in conjunction with the forced execution of the fuel injection by the in-cylinder injector 5, the fuel injection by the injectors 5 and 10 according to the residual fuel pressure at that time The rate may be variable. Thereby, it becomes possible to further improve the combustibility at the time of assist.

  In the above embodiment, as an injector for injecting fuel into the intake passage, the intake port injection injector 10 (multipoint injection) provided for each cylinder and injecting fuel into each intake port 6a is exemplified. The injector may be any injector that can inject fuel to any location in the intake passage 6. That is, it is sufficient if it is an injector for intake passage injection. For example, the present invention can be applied to a so-called single point injection internal combustion engine that uses only one injector before branching of each cylinder.
