Definitions
- the valve on the path connecting the fuel tank and the canister is maintained in a closed state when the stroke amount, which is the axial movement distance of the valve movable portion with respect to the valve seat, is within a predetermined amount from the initial state.
- the present invention relates to an evaporated fuel processing apparatus using a flow rate control valve capable of holding a tank in a sealed state.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-256778 discloses an evaporated fuel processing apparatus using the flow rate control valve as a valve on a path connecting a fuel tank and a canister.
- the flow rate control valve needs to operate the valve movable portion in a predetermined amount of valve opening direction after reaching the valve opening start position where the fuel tank and the canister communicate with each other after starting the valve opening operation from the initial state. Therefore, in order to quickly perform the valve opening control of the flow rate control valve, the valve opening start position is learned in advance, and the normal valve opening control is started from the valve opening start position. For such learning, it is necessary to detect the valve opening start position, and the detection is performed by detecting a decrease in the internal pressure of the fuel tank.
- the internal pressure of the fuel tank fluctuates depending on the environment where the fuel tank is placed, and it may be erroneously detected if the valve opening start position is detected due to a decrease in internal pressure. For example, if a large amount of vapor is generated in the space in the fuel tank, the internal pressure may increase due to the vapor, and a predetermined decrease in internal pressure may not occur at the valve opening start position.
- an object of the present invention is to use the flow control valve as a valve on a path connecting a canister and a fuel tank in an evaporative fuel processing apparatus, after starting the opening operation of the flow control valve. Detecting the valve opening start position at which the fuel tank and the canister begin to communicate with each other in consideration of fluctuations in the fuel tank internal pressure, and changing the valve opening speed of the flow control valve according to the fluctuation in the fuel tank internal pressure Thus, the valve opening start position is detected accurately and promptly regardless of the environmental change in which the fuel tank is placed.
- a valve for a valve seat is used as a valve on a path connecting the fuel tank and the canister by adsorbing the evaporated fuel in the fuel tank to the canister and sucking the adsorbed evaporated fuel into the engine.
- a flow rate control valve that is maintained in a valve-closed state when a stroke amount, which is an axial movement distance of the movable part, is within a predetermined amount from an initial state, the fuel tank can be maintained in a sealed state.
- a valve opening means for opening the control valve at a predetermined speed from a closed state, an internal pressure sensor for detecting the space pressure in the fuel tank as an internal pressure, and an internal pressure sensor detected after the valve opening operation of the flow control valve is started. And a valve opening start position detecting means for detecting a valve opening start position of the flow control valve based on the second order differential value, and a valve opening start position detecting means.
- the valve opening start position detected in this manner is stored as a learning value when performing valve opening control of the flow rate control valve, and the valve opening means opens based on the change rate of the internal pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor.
- Valve opening speed changing means for changing the valve speed.
- the valve opening speed changing means includes both a case where the change direction of the internal pressure is increased and a case where the pressure is reduced. In the former, the valve opening speed by the valve opening means is slowed down, and in the latter, it is fastened.
- the flow control valve When the flow control valve starts to open, reaches the valve opening start position, and the fuel tank and the canister communicate with each other, the evaporated fuel is supplied to the engine. At that time, the air-fuel ratio of the engine changes instantaneously under the influence of the evaporated fuel. By detecting this change in the air-fuel ratio, the valve opening start position of the flow control valve can be detected.
- the valve opening start position of the flow control valve is detected based on the second-order differential value of the fuel tank internal pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor. It is possible to detect the valve opening start position well. Further, instead of the air-fuel ratio, a change in the air-fuel ratio feedback correction amount used in the air-fuel ratio control of the engine can be detected, and the valve opening start position can be detected by using this detection result together.
- the internal pressure of the fuel tank changes due to the opening of the flow control valve varies depending on the change speed of the internal pressure of the fuel tank due to conditions other than the opening and closing of the flow control valve. For example, when the internal pressure rises due to an increase in evaporated fuel, the responsiveness becomes slower as the rate of rise increases. For this reason, if the flow rate control valve is opened at a high speed when the internal pressure rises at a high speed, the internal pressure will change when the valve opening start position to be detected has passed, and the detection of the valve opening start position will be delayed. The valve start position cannot be detected accurately.
- the problem of detection delay of the valve opening start position can be solved, but it takes a long time from the opening of the flow control valve until the valve opening start position is detected. It takes time. That is, there arises a problem that the learning control of the valve opening start position takes time.
- the opening speed of the flow control valve is changed according to the changing speed of the fuel tank internal pressure, it is possible to suppress the learning time from being increased while increasing the detection accuracy of the valve opening start position.
- the valve opening means is configured to increase the valve opening amount stepwise by a predetermined amount at a predetermined cycle, and the valve opening speed changing means. Changes the predetermined cycle of increasing the valve opening amount in the valve opening means in accordance with the change rate of the internal pressure.
- the valve opening means increases the opening amount of the flow rate control valve in a stepped manner by a predetermined amount at a predetermined cycle, and further opens in a stepped manner.
- the valve opening amount is further increased as the valve opening holding time for a predetermined time, and the valve opening speed changing means determines the valve opening holding time in the valve opening means in accordance with the change rate of the internal pressure. To change.
- the valve opening speed changing means is detected by the internal pressure sensor before the valve opening means starts opening the flow control valve.
- the valve opening speed in the valve opening means is changed based on the change speed of the internal pressure.
- the valve opening speed changing means slows the valve opening speed as the increase speed of the internal pressure increases.
- the valve opening speed changing means lengthens a predetermined end period of the valve opening means as the increasing speed of the internal pressure increases.
- the valve opening speed changing means lengthens the valve opening holding time in the valve opening means as the increasing speed of the internal pressure increases.

Therefore, the valve guide 60 is configured to be movable up and down in the vertical direction (axial direction) based on forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft 54 of the step motor 50. Further, around the valve guide 60, an auxiliary spring 68 that biases the valve guide 60 upward is interposed.

- a valve spring 77 that constantly biases the valve body 70 downward, that is, in the valve closing direction, between the upper wall portion 64 of the valve guide 60 and the lower wall portion 74 of the valve body 70. are concentrically arranged.
- the blocking valve 24 is operated by rotating the step motor 50 by a predetermined number of steps in the valve opening direction or the valve closing direction based on an output signal from the ECU 16. That is, when the step motor 50 rotates by a predetermined number of steps, the male screw portion 54n of the output shaft 54 of the step motor 50 and the female screw portion 66w of the cylindrical shaft portion 66 of the valve guide 60 are screwed together.
- the valve guide 60 moves in a vertical direction by a predetermined stroke amount.
- the blocking valve 24 is set so that the number of steps from the initial state is about 200 Step and the stroke amount is about 5 mm in the fully opened position.
- the valve guide 60 In the initialized state (initial state) of the blocking valve 24, as shown in FIG. 3, the valve guide 60 is held at the lower limit position, and the lower end surface of the cylindrical wall portion 62 of the valve guide 60 is the valve seat 40 of the valve casing 30.

- the valve seat 40 is kept floating. Thereby, an unreasonable force is suppressed from being applied between the valve guide 60 of the blocking valve 24 and the valve seat 40 of the valve casing 30 due to an environmental change such as the temperature.
- the seal member 76 of the valve body 70 is pressed against the upper surface of the valve seat 40 of the valve casing 30 by the spring force of the valve spring 77.
- the valve guide 60 is moved upward by the screwing action of the male screw portion 54n and the female screw portion 66w, and as shown in FIG.
- the bottom wall portion 62b of 60 abuts on the connecting convex portion 72t of the valve body 70 from below.

- valve opening start position of the sealing valve 24 differs depending on the sealing valve 24 due to the positional tolerance of the connecting convex portion 72t formed in the valve body 70, the positional tolerance of the bottom wall portion 62b of the valve guide 60, etc. It is necessary to accurately learn the valve opening start position. This learning is performed in the learning control, and the valve opening is started based on the timing when the internal pressure of the fuel tank 15 decreases by a predetermined value or more while rotating the step motor 50 of the block valve 24 in the valve opening direction (increasing the number of steps). The number of position steps is detected and stored.
- step S1 it is determined in step S1 whether or not a learning execution flag is set.
- the learning execution flag is set when the learning routine is in a state suitable for executing the learning control of the valve opening start position of the stepping motor type blocking valve 24 by a processing routine (not shown). For example, an ignition switch (not shown) that is a power switch of the vehicle is turned on and the vehicle is set in a stopped state.
- a processing routine not shown. For example, an ignition switch (not shown) that is a power switch of the vehicle is turned on and the vehicle is set in a stopped state.
- step S2 the fuel tank internal pressure P1 at that time is measured by the internal pressure sensor 26 and taken in. At the same time, the timing of the counter is cleared and a new timing is started.
- step S3 it is determined whether or not the time measurement counter has reached the first predetermined value.
- step S4 the internal pressure sensor 26 measures the fuel tank internal pressure P2 at that time as in step S2. It is captured.
- step S5 the differential pressure Vp1 between the fuel tank internal pressures P1 and P2 taken in as described above is calculated. As is apparent from FIG. 7, the differential pressure Vp1 obtained here corresponds to the change speed of the fuel tank internal pressure.
- step S6 the learning time is selected based on the change rate Vp1 of the fuel tank internal pressure obtained in step S5.
- the monitoring time which is the learning time, is selected based on a map in which data is stored.
- the valve opening control of the blocking valve 24 is performed in the pattern shown in FIG.
- the valve opening amount is increased stepwise by a predetermined amount in a predetermined cycle (also referred to as monitoring time), and at the timing when the valve opening amount is increased stepwise, the valve opening holding time is opened for a predetermined time.
- the valve amount is further increased.
- the increased valve opening amount is reduced and returned to the original valve opening amount. Responsiveness of the change in the internal pressure of the fuel tank to the opening control of the blocking valve 24 is enhanced by performing the opening control of the closing valve 24 in such a pattern.
- the monitoring time in the valve opening control of the blocking valve 24 is selected to be a length proportional to the fuel tank internal pressure increase speed Vp1 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the higher the internal pressure increasing speed Vp1, the longer the monitoring time and the slower the valve 24 is opened over time. As a result, the learning time is lengthened.
- the responsiveness that the internal pressure of the fuel tank changes by opening the shut-off valve 24 varies depending on the change speed of the internal pressure of the fuel tank due to conditions other than the opening and closing of the shut-off valve 24. For example, when the internal pressure rises due to an increase in evaporated fuel, the responsiveness becomes slower as the rate of rise increases. For this reason, if the opening speed of the blocking valve 24 is high when the rising speed of the internal pressure is high, the internal pressure changes when the valve opening start position to be detected has passed, and the detection of the valve opening start position is delayed. The valve start position cannot be detected accurately. In order to solve this problem, if the opening speed of the closing valve 24 is constantly slowed, the problem of the delay in detecting the opening position of the valve can be solved.
- the learning control of the valve opening start position takes time.
- the learning time is improved while improving the detection accuracy of the valve opening start position by changing the opening speed by changing the monitoring time in the valve opening control of the closing valve 24 according to the change speed Vp1 of the fuel tank internal pressure. It can suppress becoming longer.
- the map used when selecting the learning time in step S6 may change the valve opening holding time of the control pattern in the valve opening control of the blocking valve 24 as shown in FIG. Also in this case, as the internal pressure increasing speed Vp1 becomes faster, the valve opening holding time becomes longer and the blocking valve 24 is slowly opened over time. At this time, the monitoring time also changes by the amount that the valve opening holding time has changed.
- the learning time in step S6 is selected using a map, but may be determined based on a calculation formula.
- step S7 the blocking valve 24 is opened based on the pattern of FIG. 8, and in step S8, the fuel tank internal pressure Pn at that time is measured and taken in by the internal pressure sensor 26, as in step S2.
- step S9 it is determined whether or not the time measurement counter has reached the second predetermined value.
- the time set by the second predetermined value is the monitoring time selected in step S6.
- step S10 the fuel tank internal pressure Pn + 1 at that time is measured and taken in by the internal pressure sensor 26 as in step S2.
- step S11 the differential pressure Vp between the fuel tank internal pressures Pn and Pn + 1 taken in as described above is calculated.
- the differential pressure Vp obtained here is the rate of change of the internal pressure of the fuel tank while the closing valve 24 is being controlled to open.
- step S12 it is determined whether or not the change width between the differential pressure Vp1 obtained in step S5 and the differential pressure Vp obtained in step S11 is equal to or greater than a third predetermined value.
- the third predetermined value is that the internal pressure of the fuel tank decreases when the fuel tank 15 and the canister 21 are communicated with each other and the fuel vapor 15 starts to flow from the fuel tank 15 to the canister 21.
- Corresponding pressure is set. As shown in FIG. 7, when the tank internal pressure is Pn + 1, Pn + 2, the change width of the differential pressure Vp with respect to the differential pressure Vp1 is substantially zero and does not exceed the third predetermined value. Therefore, a negative determination is made in step S12, and after step S7 The process is repeated.
- step S12 When the tank internal pressure is Pn + 3, since the absolute value of the change width of the differential pressure Vp with respect to the differential pressure Vp1 is equal to or greater than the third predetermined value, an affirmative determination is made in step S12, and in step S13, the closing valve 24 at that time is opened.
- the position is stored as the valve opening start position.
- the sealing valve 24 is opened stepwise at the timing of Pn + 2
- the sealing member 76 of the valve body 70 in the sealing valve 24 is separated from the valve seat 40 of the valve casing 30 and the sealing valve 24 is opened (see FIG. 4 and 5)
- the fuel tank 15 and the canister 21 are communicated with each other (see FIG. 2), and the increase rate of the internal pressure is reduced accordingly.
- step S5 step S11, and step S12 is equivalent to calculating
- the learning control of the valve opening start position of the block valve 24 is performed, and when the valve opening control is performed thereafter, the valve 24 is immediately opened from the valve opening start position stored as the learned value.
- the valve can be started. Further, when learning the valve opening start position, evaporative fuel starts to flow from the fuel tank 15 to the canister 21 in consideration of a change in the internal pressure of the fuel tank before the closing valve 24 is opened for learning. Since the accompanying decrease in the fuel tank internal pressure is detected, the valve opening start position can be accurately detected regardless of the environmental change in which the fuel tank 15 is placed.
- the opening speed of the closing valve 24 for learning is changed according to the change speed of the fuel tank internal pressure, so that the learning time is increased while increasing the detection accuracy of the valve opening start position. It can be suppressed. That is, the rate of increase of the internal pressure of the fuel tank at the time before the closing valve 24 starts the valve opening control is obtained by the differential pressure Vp1, and the monitoring time in the valve opening control pattern of the closing valve 24 is changed based on this. This monitoring time is also the internal pressure sampling cycle, and when the internal pressure rise rate is fast, even if there is a time delay until the closing valve 24 detects the valve opening start position, the sampling cycle becomes long according to the internal pressure rise rate. Therefore, the valve opening start position can be detected without delay.
- step S7 and step S12 in the above embodiment corresponds to the valve opening means in the present invention. Further, the processing of steps S2 to S5 and steps S8 to S12 corresponds to the valve opening start position detecting means in the present invention. Furthermore, the process of step S13 corresponds to the learning means in the present invention. Furthermore, the processing in steps S2 to S6 corresponds to the valve opening speed changing means in the present invention.
- the flow control valve is the step motor type block valve 24, but a ball valve having a structure in which the valve opening amount is continuously changed by the rotation of the ball-shaped valve body may be used.
- the valve opening control pattern of the flow rate control valve is set to be a valve opening holding time for a predetermined time at the timing when the valve opening amount is increased stepwise. It may be a control pattern in which the valve opening amount is increased in a simple step shape having no valve holding time.
- the predetermined cycle for increasing the valve opening amount of the flow control valve in a stepwise manner is changed, but the valve opening amount that increases in a stepwise manner is changed. May be.
- the change speed Vp1 of the fuel tank internal pressure is calculated
- the present invention is applied to an engine system for a vehicle, but the present invention is not limited to a vehicle. In the case of an engine system for a vehicle, a hybrid vehicle using both an engine and a motor may be used.
