Technical Field

The present invention relates to an engine control apparatus and an engine control method, and more particularly, to an engine control apparatus and an engine control method that obtain a target engine torque based on an accelerator operation amount and execute when controlling a driving force of a vehicle. The engine control is performed such that the engine torque becomes equal to the target engine torque.

Background

There is known a structure that, when controlling the driving force of a vehicle, obtains a target engine torque based on an accelerator operation amount, and executes engine control so that an engine output torque becomes equal to the target engine torque. In such engine control, an engine torque characteristic is obtained in advance under a predetermined environmental condition, and the engine torque is adjusted based on a target engine torque and the engine torque characteristic obtained in advance. However, when the environmental condition is changed from the predetermined environmental condition, the actual engine torque characteristic is also changed, so that when the engine torque is adjusted using the engine torque characteristic obtained under the predetermined environmental condition. Ion, the achieved driving force cannot accurately reflect the driving force desired by the driver. In this regard, japanese patent application No. JP- ｃA-9112329 proposes obtaining ｃA maximum engine torque and ｃA minimum engine torque based on the ambient conditions of atmospheric pressure or intake air temperature, and then obtaining obtｃA. By interpolating a target engine torque between the maximum engine torque and the minimum engine torque achieved. More specifically, the interpolation block applies the target engine torque as a ratio (MPUD) between the minimum engine torque and the maximum engine torque. The interpolation block obtains a target engine torque (MFAR) by interpolating between the maximum engine torque (Mmax) and the minimum engine torque (Mmin) according to the ratio (MPED) (i.e., MFAR ═ MPED × (Mmax-Mmin) + Mmin). As a result, a target engine torque corresponding to the accelerator operation by the driver, which reflects a change in the environment, such as the atmospheric pressure or the intake air temperature, can be set. When the environment changes, the maximum engine torque characteristic differs from the maximum engine torque characteristic previously obtained under the predetermined environmental condition with respect to the change in the engine rotation speed. Therefore, as with the technique described in japanese patent application No. JP- ｃA-9-112329, when the target engine torque is obtained, the engine torque characteristic for obtaining the target engine torque becomes distorted with respect to the engine torque characteristic. This is obtained in advance under predetermined environmental conditions. On the other hand, control constants and the like for controlling various engine adjustment engine torques are applied based on the engine torque characteristics under predetermined environmental conditions. Therefore, the correlation between the engine torque characteristic for obtaining the target engine torque and the engine torque characteristic behind the device for controlling the engine torque is lost. As a result, the accuracy of controlling the engine torque is reduced, resulting in deterioration of drivability.

Disclosure of Invention

The present invention has been made to overcome the above-described disadvantages of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an engine control device capable of improving the accuracy of engine torque control, and suppressing deterioration of drivability even under ambient conditions such as atmospheric pressure or intake TEM by accurately setting a target engine torque. The temperature changes.

The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a nominal calculation section is included that calculates a nominal maximum engine torque, a nominal minimum engine torque, and a nominal target engine torque based on a characteristic of the engine torque with respect to the engine speed, and obtains an accelerator operation amount in advance at a predetermined EN. (ii) an environmental condition; a correction section that obtains an environmentally corrected maximum engine torque and an environmentally corrected minimum engine torque in accordance with the environmental condition; a calculation section that calculates a target engine torque by calculating a target E; the NGH torque between the environmentally corrected maximum engine torque and the environmentally corrected minimum engine torque such that the ratio torque of the difference between the nominal maximum engine torque and the nominal minimum engine torque to the difference between the nominal target engine and the nominal minimum engine torque is substantially equal to the ratio of the difference between the environmentally corrected maximum engine torque and the environmentally corrected minimum engine torque to the difference between the target engine torque and the environmentally corrected minimum engine torque. The TED minimum engine torque, wherein the correcting section obtains the environmentally corrected maximum engine torque by correcting the nominal maximum engine torque based on the correction coefficient according to the environmental condition.

The correction portion obtains an environmentally corrected maximum engine torque based on a product of a correction coefficient and a nominal maximum engine torque.

The correction section obtains an environmentally corrected minimum engine torque by correcting the nominal minimum engine torque based on the correction coefficient according to the environmental condition.

The target engine torque, nominal maximum engine torque, and nominal minimum engine torque are applied as axle torques; and the correction section converts the nominal maximum engine torque into the indicated torque, obtaining the correction. The maximum engine torque among the indicated torques is calculated by multiplying the correction coefficient by the nominal maximum engine torque according to the current environmental condition, converting it into the indicated torque, and the environmentally corrected maximum engine is obtained. By converting the maximum engine torque calculated as the indicated torque into the shaft torque.

The invention has the beneficial effects that: the accuracy of engine torque control can be improved, and a change in deterioration of drivability can be suppressed even under an environmental condition such as atmospheric pressure or intake air temperature by accurately setting the target engine torque.

Detailed Description

In fig. 1, the engine ECU100 is generally constituted by a digital computer including a ROM1 (read only memory), a RAM2 (random access memory), a CPU3 (central processing unit), and an input port 4 and an output port 5, all of which are interconnected by a bidirectional bus 6. The accelerator opening sensor 7 generates an output voltage corresponding to the depression amount of an accelerator pedal 8 operated by the driver (i.e., an accelerator opening amount or an accelerator operation amount), and is connected to the accelerator pedal 8. An intake air temperature sensor 9 is provided in the intake pipe, and outputs a voltage corresponding to the intake air temperature. The air flow meter 10 outputs a voltage corresponding to an intake air amount introduced by a throttle valve, not shown, which is driven by an electric motor. The opening degree of the throttle valve is based on an output signal from engine ECU 100. A coolant temperature sensor 11 is provided that outputs a voltage corresponding to the engine coolant temperature. An environmental sensor 12 is also provided that senses the environment (e.g., altitude, barometric pressure, grade, outside air temperature, etc.) surrounding the vehicle in which the engine is installed. The output voltages of these sensors 7 to 12 are input to the input port 4 through an a/D converter 15. An engine speed sensor 13 that generates an output pulse indicating an engine speed is connected to the input port 4. Further, an output that detects engine knock from the knock sensor 14 is also input to the input port 4. In the drawings, only the sensors used in the environmental correction in the target engine torque setting calculation according to the exemplary embodiment of the invention are represented. However, other sensors necessary for executing the engine control are actually provided. The engine ECU100 generates various control signals for controlling the operation of the entire engine system based on the signals from these sensors by executing a predetermined program. These control signals are generated as drive control commands for various actuators (e.g., a throttle valve, a fuel injection injector, a spark plug drive circuit, a Variable Valve Timing (VVT) mechanism, etc.) for executing engine control 16 through the output port 5 and the signal drive circuit. The engine ECU100 controls the driving force of the vehicle according to a so-called torque demand method. The engine ECU100 sets a target engine torque based on the accelerator operation amount, and controls the throttle opening, the ignition timing, and the like so that the actual engine torque becomes equal to the target engine torque.
