- the first invention at the time of fuel cut at a high engine speed, a large amount of exhaust gas recirculation can be generated and the amount of intake air can be reduced. it can. If a large amount of exhaust gas recirculation is secured, it is possible to avoid excessive intake negative pressure even if fuel injection is performed under high engine speed. In this case, the gas flowing into the catalyst can be prevented from being excessively lit even during the fuel cut. Therefore, according to the present invention, when the fuel cut is executed at a high engine speed, the deterioration of the catalyst can be sufficiently suppressed while sufficiently suppressing the oil rising.
- the exhaust gas recirculation amount is suppressed and the intake air amount is reduced under a low engine speed at which the operating state of the internal combustion engine tends to become unstable, unlike under a high engine speed.
- the aperture is also suppressed. For this reason, according to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the operation of the internal combustion engine from becoming unstable when returning from the fuel cut under low engine speed.
- the second aspect of the present invention when the increase of the exhaust gas recirculation amount is instructed when the fuel force is started at a high engine speed, the actual completion of the order exceeds the judgment value. Until then, you can wait to reduce the amount of intake air. If the intake air amount is reduced before the exhaust gas recirculation amount is actually secured, the intake pipe pressure temporarily becomes excessively negative, and the oil rises easily. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent such a situation from occurring and reliably prevent an increase in oil consumption.
- the exhaust gas recirculation amount (internal EGR amount) can be increased or decreased by controlling the variable valve mechanism and changing the valve overlap period.
- the actual internal EGR amount is determined according to the state of the variable valve mechanism. According to the present invention, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the exhaust gas recirculation amount exceeds the determination value based on the state of the variable valve mechanism.
- a large amount of intake air is maintained until a sufficient exhaust gas recirculation amount is ensured after fuel cut is started at a high engine speed. You can keep it. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably prevent the intake pipe pressure from becoming excessively negative immediately after the start of the fuel cut.
- the fuel cut execution can be prohibited until the actual value of the exhaust gas recirculation amount is sufficiently secured. .

- the fuel cut after the fuel cut execution condition is satisfied and the fuel cut prohibition limit period elapses, the fuel cut can be performed even if the exhaust gas recirculation amount is not sufficiently ensured.
- the execution of the kite can be started. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to appropriately generate the feeling of deceleration expected by the driver.
- the seventh aspect it is possible to determine the feasibility of the fuel cut execution condition based on the accelerator opening without using the throttle opening as a basis. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly determine whether the fuel force condition is satisfied without being affected by the time difference until the accelerator opening is reflected in the throttle opening. Is possible.
- the increase correction of the exhaust gas recirculation amount is canceled, and the decrease correction of the intake air amount is canceled. it can. If the fuel force continues for a long time, the inside of the catalyst becomes saturated with oxygen, and the reason for suppressing the inflow of lean gas to the catalyst disappears. Rather, in this case, for stable operation after the fuel cut, it is better to reduce the exhaust gas recirculation amount and increase the air amount to prevent the oil from rising. According to the present invention, in response to the above request, the internal combustion engine after the fuel cut can be stably operated.
- the continuation of the predetermined time can be determined in synchronization with the time when the catalyst is saturated with oxygen. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to create a situation advantageous for stable operation after the fuel cut as early as possible while sufficiently protecting the catalyst.
- a predetermined time is reached when the integrated intake air amount sufficient to saturate the downstream catalyst with oxygen flows.
- a continuation can be determined.
- the post-difference of the oxygen storage amount of the upstream catalyst can be excluded from the determination elements, so that the determination accuracy regarding the continuation of the predetermined time can be sufficiently increased.
- the value of the integrated intake air amount necessary for saturating the downstream catalyst with oxygen can be set based on the oxygen storage capacity of the upstream catalyst.
- the amount of air required to saturate the downstream catalyst with oxygen is determined according to the oxygen storage capacity of the downstream catalyst.
- a high correlation is observed between the oxygen storage capacity of the downstream catalyst and the oxygen storage capacity of the upstream catalyst. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to accurately set the value of the cumulative intake air amount for saturating the downstream catalyst with oxygen.
- the intake air amount is cooled when the fuel cut duration reaches a predetermined time, that is, when it is determined that the necessity to suppress the inflow of air to the catalyst has disappeared.
- the target flow rate can be obtained.
- cooling of the catalyst is promoted. Even if the catalyst is exposed to lean gas, it will not deteriorate rapidly if its temperature is low.
- the present invention in a situation where oxygen saturation of the catalyst is inevitable, the progress of the deterioration can be suppressed by rapidly cooling the catalyst.
- the amount of oil rise can be increased by ensuring an appropriate amount of intake air. Generation can be effectively prevented.
- the cooling time can be set based on the temperature of the catalyst. For this reason, according to the present invention, the amount of intake air can be set as the cooling target flow rate for an appropriate period without excess or deficiency in cooling the catalyst.
- the operation amount of the EGR variable mechanism at the time of fuel cut can be set based on the operation speed of the EGR variable mechanism detected in advance.
- the operation amount in the fuel cut if it is set based on the operating speed of the EGR variable mechanism, the EGR variable mechanism can be returned to a state suitable for normal operation without significant delay when returning from the fuel cut. Therefore, according to the present invention, it is always possible to prevent the state of the internal combustion engine from becoming unstable when returning from the fuel cut.
- the throttle amount of the intake air amount at the time of the fuel cut can be set to a smaller value as the operating amount of the EGR variable mechanism is larger.
- the intake air amount is sufficiently reduced, while the operating amount of the EGR variable mechanism is In a small situation where the EGR amount is not sufficiently secured, the intake air amount can be increased to a certain level. For this reason, according to the present invention, it is possible to always create an optimal situation in order to achieve both oil rise and catalyst protection, on the premise of the set operation amount during the fuel cut.
- the operating speed indicated by the EGR variable mechanism can be detected in a region where the engine speed exceeds the determination value.
- the EGR variable mechanism is required to have a larger operating amount as the engine speed increases. For this reason, in order to ensure that the EGR variable mechanism can return to the state suitable for receiving operation without delay when returning from the fuel cut, the operation amount of the EGR variable mechanism is based on the operating speed in the high rotation range. It is appropriate to set. According to the present invention, this requirement is satisfied. Therefore, the stability of the internal combustion engine can be ensured reliably when returning from the fuel elcut.
- the operating speed in the region exceeding the judgment value can be detected by converting the operating speed of the EGR variable mechanism measured at an arbitrary engine speed. According to such a method, it is possible to obtain the operating speed of the EGR variable mechanism without waiting for the internal combustion engine to enter the high speed range. Therefore, according to the present invention, the operating speed of the EGR variable mechanism can be acquired quickly after the internal combustion engine is started.
- the operating speed at a predetermined timing can be detected by converting the operating speed of the EGR variable mechanism measured at an arbitrary oil temperature. Since the EGR variable mechanism uses hydraulic pressure as the drive source, the operating speed varies with the oil temperature. According to the present invention, it is possible to detect an appropriate operating speed at a predetermined timing without being affected by fluctuations in the oil temperature. For this reason, according to the present invention, it is possible to always realize a stable operation state when returning from the fuel cut.

- FIG. 2 is a timing chart for explaining the operation of this embodiment when the F / C is executed under an environment where the engine speed NE is sufficiently high. More specifically, FIG. 2A shows a waveform representing the execution state of F / C. Here, the case where F / C is started at time t0 is illustrated.
- Fig. 2B shows the waveform of the intake pipe pressure PM. However, the broken line in Fig. 2B is the permissible limit value of the intake pipe pressure PM that does not cause oil rise or oil fall.
- Fig. 2C shows a waveform representing the change in internal gas recirculation (EGR).
- Fig. 2D shows a waveform representing changes in throttle opening TA. Specifically, an example is shown in which the throttle opening TA is suddenly closed immediately before time t0.
- the throttle opening TA is set to the basic idle opening TA0 (the idle opening in the low rotation area), especially in the high rotation range where the intake pipe pressure PM is likely to become negative. ) If the opening is kept larger, it is possible to keep the intake pipe pressure PM higher than the permissible limit value and prevent the oil from falling if the oil goes up.
- variable valve mechanism 3 4 retards the valve opening phase of the exhaust valve 30 so that the valve overlap period, that is, both the intake valve 28 and the exhaust valve 30 open.
- the period during which the valve is in a state can be extended. If the valve overlap period is extended, the amount of burnt gas that flows back into the intake passage 14 after the intake valve 28 opens, that is, the internal EGR amount increases.
- the intake pipe pressure PM approaches the atmospheric pressure as the amount of gas downstream of the throttle valve 18 increases.
- the amount of gas is the sum of the amount of fresh gas that has passed through the throttle valve 18 and the amount of internal EGR gas generated during the valve overlap period. Therefore, if the internal EGR amount is sufficiently large, the intake pipe pressure PM will not be excessively negative no matter how small the throttle opening TA is. Furthermore, if the throttle opening TA is reduced with the internal EGR amount sufficiently secured, the ratio of burned gas in the cylinder can be sufficiently increased. If such a state is realized during the execution of F / C, extreme leaning of the gas flowing into the catalyst can be avoided.
- the spout is generated with a valve overlap that generates a sufficient internal EGR. If the torr opening TA is sufficiently reduced, it is possible to effectively suppress the deterioration of the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 while preventing the oil from rising or falling.
- the value was set to a value larger than the idle opening TA0, and after that, when the internal EGR amount was sufficiently secured, the throttle opening TA was throttled. According to such a throttle operation, it is possible to prevent the intake pipe pressure PM from being excessively negative after the start of F / C while keeping the air flow rate sufficiently small. For this reason, according to the apparatus of this embodiment, it is possible to effectively prevent an increase in oil consumption and deterioration of the catalyst due to the execution of F / C.
- the operation described above is the operation when F / C is started under high NE. If the engine speed NE is sufficiently high, there is a high ratio of burned gas in the cylinder during F / C execution, and even if a large valve overlap is ensured, the F / C. By reducing the overlap before the end, the normal stable operation state can be restored before the engine stall occurs.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in this embodiment in order to realize the above function.
- the engine speed NE and the load factor kl are taken in (step 100).
- the engine speed NE can be obtained based on the output of the crank angle sensor 36.
- the load factor kl is a ratio between the intake air amount obtained when the throttle opening TA is fully opened and the actual intake air amount Ga, and can be obtained based on the output of the air flow meter 16.
- the normal target value vt l of the variable valve mechanism 34 is calculated based on the engine speed NE and the load factor kl (step 1002).
- the normal target value vt l is the target value of the valve timing VVT during normal operation that is not during F / C.
- the ECU 50 stores a map in which the normal target value vt l is determined by the relationship between the engine speed NE and the load factor kl.
- the normal target value vtl is calculated by referring to the map.
- the normal target value vt l is set to 0 regardless of the engine speed NE.
- the Normally, when the target value vt l 0 is achieved, no valve overlap occurs. Therefore, as long as the normal target value vt l is used, no internal EGR gas is generated in the low load region.
- step 10 4 it is next determined whether or not the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied. More specifically, it is determined here whether the throttle opening TA is closed to the basic idle opening TA0.
- the valve timing VVT is first controlled toward the normal target value vtl (step 10 6).
- throttle opening TA force Accelerator opening AA is controlled according to AA (slot Tape 1 0 8).
- F / C execution flag XFC is set to 0 to indicate that the execution of F / C is prohibited (step 1 1 0).
- the valve timing VVT deceleration target value vt2 is then calculated ( Step 1 1 2).
- the deceleration target value vt2 is the value of the valve timing VVT that should be achieved during the execution of the deceleration F / C.
- FIG. 5 shows an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for calculating the deceleration target value vt2.
- the deceleration target value vt2 is determined in relation to the engine speed NE. More specifically, the deceleration target value vt2 is set to 0 near the idle speed, and is set to a larger value (maximum value 20) as the engine speed NE becomes higher.
- the target value vt2 during deceleration is a target value used in situations where the load factor kl is sufficiently small compared to 10%. Normally, the target value vt l is set to 0 in all rotation regions under such circumstances. Therefore, the deceleration target value vt2 is set to become larger as the engine speed NE becomes higher than the normal target value vtl.
- the system of this embodiment is configured such that the valve overlap period becomes longer as the valve timing VVT becomes larger.
- the amount of internal EGR increases as the valve overlap period increases. For this reason, when the valve timing VVT is set to the deceleration target value vt2, the higher the engine speed NE, the longer the valve overlap period will be secured, and as the engine speed NE decreases. The pulp overlap period will be reduced towards zero.
- steps 1 1 4 the actual valve timing vtt force judgment value. It is determined whether or not CA is exceeded (steps 1 1 4).
- the command for making the valve timing VVT coincide with the deceleration target value vt2 is issued to the variable valve mechanism 34, until the VVT actually matches vt2. Requires a certain amount of actuator operation time. In other words, in the system of the present embodiment, a certain amount of time is required until the internal EGR amount sufficient to avoid the occurrence of excessive intake negative pressure is secured after the deceleration target value vt2 is determined. .
- the condition of vtt> a ° CA used in this step 1 1 2 is essentially a condition for judging whether the actual valve timing vtt has changed to the extent that the desired internal EGR amount is secured. .
- FIG. 6 is an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for setting the judgment value ⁇ . That is, the ECU 50 sets the determination value ⁇ with reference to the map shown in FIG. According to the map shown in FIG. 6, the judgment value ⁇ is maintained at the minimum value in the low heel region, increases or decreases in proportion to ⁇ in the middle heel region, and is maintained at the maximum value in the high heel region. . In the low pressure region, it is possible to avoid excessive intake negative pressure without requiring a large valve overlap. On the other hand, a large valve overlap is necessary to prevent excessive intake negative pressure in the high-pressure region. According to the map shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to set a judgment value ⁇ with no excess or deficiency in the entire area according to the difference in the circumstances.
- step 1 14 processing for setting the first target throttle opening tal at the time of deceleration F / C is executed. More specifically, here, first, the first correction value kfctal is calculated (step 1 16). In this embodiment, the ECU 50 calculates the target value (target ta) of the throttle opening TA by the following equation.
- Target ta Basic idle opening TA0 + 1st correction coefficient kfcta l 1st correction coefficient kfcta2 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ (1)
- the target ta increases as the first correction coefficient kfctal increases.
- the larger the second correction coefficient kf cta2 the smaller the value. That is, the first correction coefficient kfctal is a correction coefficient for expanding the target ta, and the second correction coefficient kfcta2 is a correction coefficient for narrowing the target ta.
- FIG. 7 shows an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for calculating the first correction coefficient kfctal.
- the first correction coefficient kfctal is calculated by referring to this map.
- the first correction coefficient kfctal is set to a larger value as the engine speed NE is higher, and is set to a minimum value of 0 when the engine speed NE is close to the idle speed. Is set.
- Step 1 1 8 the target ta is set to a larger value than the basic idle opening TA0 as the engine speed NE is higher.
- the target ta having such characteristics is referred to as a first target throttle opening degree ta l.
- step 1 1 4 if the establishment of vtt> ⁇ ° CA is confirmed in step 1 1 4 above, the internal EGR amount sufficient to avoid excessive intake negative pressure has already been secured. Judgment can be made. In this case, processing for calculating the second target throttle opening ta2 at the time of deceleration F / C is subsequently executed.
- the first correction coefficient kfctal is set to 0 (step 1 2 0).
- the second correction coefficient kfcta2 is calculated with reference to the map shown in FIG. 8 (step 1 2 2).
- the map shown in Fig. 8 shows that the second correction factor kfcta2 increases as the engine speed NE increases.
- the second correction coefficient kfcta2 is set to a minimum value of 0 when the engine speed NE is close to the idle speed. Since the second correction coefficient kfc ta2 is a correction coefficient for narrowing down the target ta, according to the processing of steps 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 above, the target ta becomes the basic eye as the engine speed NE is higher. It will be set to a value smaller than the dollar opening TA0.
- the target ta having such characteristics is referred to as the second target throttle opening ta2.
- step 1 2 4 it is next determined whether or not the engine speed NE is higher than the F / C start speed A (step 1 2 4). As a result, if the establishment of NE> A is confirmed, 1 is set to the F / C execution flag XFC (Step 1 2 6) 0
- step 1 2 8 control for setting the valve timing VVT to the deceleration target value vt2 is executed.
- the valve timing VVT is modified to ensure a large valve overlap, and the internal EGR amount is increased.
- the throttle valve 18 is controlled so that the throttle opening degree TA coincides with the target ta obtained by the above equation (1) (step 1 30).
- the target ta is set to a value equal to or higher than the first target throttle opening degree ta 1, that is, the basic idle opening degree TA0 until the actual valve timing vt t reaches ct ° CA.
- the higher the engine speed NE the larger the throttle opening TA.
- excessive intake negative pressure is avoided and oil consumption is prevented from increasing even before a sufficient internal EGR amount is generated. Is done.
- the target ta is also set to a value equal to or less than the second target throttle opening ta2, that is, the basic idle opening TA0, after the actual valve timing vtt reaches ⁇ ° CA.
- the throttle opening TA is reduced to a smaller value as the engine speed NE is higher, and the flow rate of fresh gas flowing into the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 is reduced. As a result, deterioration of the upstream catalyst 3 8 and the downstream catalyst 40 during execution of F / C is suppressed.
- step 106 to 110 is sequentially executed in order to realize the normal operation state.
- the throttle opening TA is increased until the internal EGR amount is secured after the start of F / C. By doing so, an increase in oil consumption can be prevented. In addition, during the F / C in this area, the internal EGR amount has been sufficiently secured. By restricting the throttle opening TA, it is possible to achieve both prevention of an increase in oil consumption and suppression of catalyst deterioration.
- both the valve timing VVT and the throttle opening TA are normally operated in the region where the engine speed NE is low even during F / C. It can be close to the state of time. For this reason, according to the system of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent the operating state of the internal combustion engine 10 from becoming unstable after the F / C is finished in the low rotation region.
- the valve overlap period is changed by changing the state of the variable valve mechanism 34 that drives the exhaust valve 30, and as a result, the internal EGR amount is changed.
- the method of changing the internal EGR amount is not limited to this method.
- the valve overlap period may be changed by changing the state of the variable valve mechanism 32 that drives the intake valve 28, and the internal EGR amount may be changed as a result. .
- the method of changing the internal EGR amount is not limited to the method of increasing or decreasing the valve overlap period.
- the closing timing of the exhaust valve 30 is set in the crank angle region before the exhaust top dead center, the amount of residual gas trapped in the cylinder during the exhaust stroke is increased or decreased by moving the closing timing forward or backward. To do. Therefore, ⁇ EGR amount, yo even be increased or decreased by adjusting the closing timing of the exhaust valve 3 0 in the previous crank angle region exhaust top dead center les, 0
- the prevention method is not limited to this.
- an EGR mechanism is provided to recirculate the exhaust gas discharged to the exhaust passage 14 to the intake passage 12 and increase the external EGR amount. It is good also as implement
- the throttle valve is opened after waiting for the actual valve timing vtt to exceed the judgment value a ° CA, that is, waiting for the actual value of the internal EGR amount to be secured to some extent.
- the degree of reduction correction is started, but the present invention is not limited to this.
- the reduction correction of the throttle opening ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ after the start of F / C is the same as the increase of the actual value of the internal (or external) EGR amount. It may be executed in response to this.
- the magnitude of the negative pressure and the flow rate of the air flowing through the catalyst are controlled by controlling the throttle opening. It is not limited to this. That is, the magnitude of the negative pressure and the flow rate of air flowing through the catalyst can be controlled by increasing or decreasing the intake air amount Ga. Therefore, the same function as that of the first embodiment can be achieved not only by the throttle opening but also by controlling the element that changes the intake air amount. Specifically, in the case of a throttle-less internal combustion engine, the idle speed controller that bypasses the throttle valve can be changed by changing the intake valve lift amount, operating angle, valve opening timing, etc. In the case of an internal combustion engine equipped with a roll (ISC) valve, the same function as in the first embodiment can be realized by changing the flow rate of the ISC valve passing therethrough.
- ISC roll
- the ECU 50 executes the F / C when the internal combustion engine 10 is decelerated, whereby the “fuel force fitting means” in the first invention, steps 1 1 2 and 1 By executing the process 1 2 8, the “EGR control means” in the first invention and the “VVT control means” in the third invention force s , the processes of steps 1 2 2 and 1 3 0 are executed. Thus, the “intake air amount control means” force in the first invention is realized respectively. Yes.
- the ECU 50 performs the process of step 1 1 4 to execute the “actual EGR determination means” in the second or third invention.
- the “control delay means” force in the second invention is realized by executing the processing of steps 1 2 0 and 1 2 2 after waiting for establishment.
- the “unit for maintaining the intake air amount” in the fourth aspect of the present invention is realized by the ECU 50 executing the processing of steps 1 1 6 and 1 18. Has been.
- Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9 and FIG.
- the system of the present embodiment can be realized by causing the ECU 50 to execute a routine shown in FIG. 10 described later using the hardware configuration shown in FIG.
- FIG. 9 is a timing chart for explaining characteristic operations of the system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. More specifically, FIG. 9A shows a waveform representing success / failure of the F / C condition.
- Fig. 9B is a chart that virtually represents examples of changes in actual valve timing vtt before and after the establishment of the F / C condition (two examples).
- FIG. 9C is a chart imaginarily showing a change example (two cases) of the throttle opening TA corresponding to the change example of the actual valve timing vtt shown in FIG. 9B.
- FIG. 9D is a chart showing F / C execution rules used in this embodiment.
- FIG. 9A shows an example in which the F / C execution condition is satisfied at time t0.
- the system of the present embodiment subsequently performs valve over to increase the internal EGR amount. Change actual valve timing vtt to increase lap.
- the actual valve timing vtt is judged within a relatively short time after time t0. An example of reaching CA.
- the waveform indicated by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 9B illustrates a case where a relatively long time is required until the actual pulp timing vtt reaches the judgment value ⁇ ° CA.
- the system of the present embodiment is basically based on the throttle opening TA to avoid the occurrence of excessive intake negative pressure until the actual valve timing vtt reaches the judgment value ⁇ ° CA.
- the idle opening is maintained at TA0 or higher and vtt is low.
- the throttle opening TA is set to be lower than the basic idle opening TA0. For this reason, the timing at which the throttle opening TA is throttled varies depending on the time until the actual valve timing vtt reaches the judgment value a ° CA (see Fig. 9C).
- the driver of the vehicle expects that braking force due to engine braking will be generated when the accelerator pedal is released.
- the F / C execution rules are determined as shown in FIG. 9D to deal with the above-described two requirements. That is, the execution shown in Figure 9D According to the rules, the execution period of F / C is prohibited until time C after the execution condition of F / C is satisfied.
- the time C is the time after the F / C prohibited time C has elapsed after the time t0.
- the F / C prohibition time C is the time that is necessary for the actual valve timing vtt to reach the judgment value ⁇ ° CA.
- time D is the time after the prohibition limit time D has elapsed from time t0.
- the prohibition limit time is the maximum time during which the start of F / C can be delayed in order to generate the braking force expected by the driver without a sense of incongruity.
- the actual valve timing vtt is the judgment value as long as the F / C execution start can be delayed without a sense of incongruity.
- the execution of F / C can be delayed until CA is reached, that is, until the throttle opening TA is reduced to an opening equal to or lower than the basic idle opening TA0. If the predetermined time D has elapsed before vtt reaches ⁇ ° CA, the execution of F / C is permitted at that time to ensure that the braking force expected by the driver is generated. I can do it. For this reason, according to the system of the present embodiment, it is possible to achieve both reliable protection of the upstream catalyst 38 and downstream catalyst 40 and securing of the braking force expected by the driver.
- FIG. 10 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in order to realize the above function.
- steps that are the same as the steps shown in FIG. 3 are given the same reference numerals, and descriptions thereof are omitted or simplified.
- step 140 processing for setting the actual valve timing vtt to vt2 is executed (step 140). Note that the processing of step 140 is substantially a combination of the processing of step 102 and the processing of step 1 28 shown in FIG. Is omitted.
- step 14 2 it is determined whether or not the F / C prohibit time C has elapsed after the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied (steps 14 2). Immediately after the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied, it is determined that the F / C prohibit time C has not elapsed.
- the second correction coefficient kfcta2 is set to 0 in step 118
- the calculation of the first correction coefficient kfctal and the control of the throttle opening TA are executed (step 14 44).
- step 144 the first correction coefficient kfctal is calculated by the same method as in step 116 shown in FIG. 3, that is, by the method referring to the map shown in FIG.
- the control of the throttle opening TA is executed with the target ta calculated by the above equation (1) as the target value, as in the case of step 1 30 shown in FIG.
- the throttle opening degree TA is controlled to an opening degree equal to or larger than the reference idle opening degree TA0.
- step 14 6 it is determined whether the prohibition limit time D has not yet elapsed after the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied. If the F / C prohibition time C has not yet elapsed, the prohibition limit time D has not necessarily elapsed. For this reason, while the F / C prohibition time C has not yet elapsed, the condition of this step 1 46 is always satisfied, and thereafter the processing of step 1 1 10 is executed. As a result, deceleration F / C condition Execution of F / C is always prohibited after at least the F / C prohibition time C has passed.
- step 1 4 it is determined whether or not the actual valve timing vtt has reached the determined value ⁇ ° CA.
- step 1 1 4 If CA has not been reached, it is determined that the condition of step 1 1 4 is not satisfied, and then the processing of steps 1 1 8, 1 4 4 and 1 4 6 is executed. As a result, until the prohibition limit time D elapses, unless the actual valve timing vtt reaches the judgment value a ° CA, execution of F / C is prohibited, and the throttle opening TA is The target throttle opening tal of 1 is controlled.
- step 1 46 If the prohibition limit time D elapses before the actual valve timing vtt reaches the judgment value ⁇ ° CA, it is determined in step 1 46 that the prohibition limit time D has elapsed. Next, the processing of step 1 2 4 is executed.
- step 1 2 4 If the engine speed NE is equal to or less than the F / C start speed A at the time when the processing of step 1 2 4 is executed for the first time after the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied, the condition of step 1 2 4 is In addition, the conditions of step 1 3 2 are also not satisfied. In this case, the processing from step 106 to 110 is subsequently executed, and the normal operation state is continued without starting the F / C.
- step 1 2 4 if NE> A is satisfied when the processing in step 1 2 4 is executed for the first time after the deceleration F / C condition is satisfied, 1 is set in the F / C execution flag XFC in step 1 2 6. He is tricked and F / C is started. Thereafter, unless the conditions of step 10 4 are not satisfied, the processing of steps 1 2 4, 1 3 2 and 1 3 4 is repeated each time this routine is started, and the engine speed NE ends F / C. The execution of F / C is continued until the speed decreases to B.
- Second judgment value jS ° CA is judgment value ct. It is larger than CA and smaller than deceleration target value vt2. For this reason, vtt> j3 is inevitably not established in the situation where Ftt is executed because vtt has not reached a ° CA and the prohibition limit time D has passed.
- the throttle opening degree TA is controlled in step 1 30 without performing the processing in step 1 2 2.
- the target ta is set to the first target throttle opening tal by the processing of step 1 1 8 and step 1 4 4. For this reason, until the vtt reaches ct ° CA, the throttle opening TA is maintained at the opening higher than the basic idle opening TA0 even after the start of F / C.
- Step 1 2 After the F / C prohibit time C has elapsed and the actual valve timing vtt has reached the judgment value ⁇ ° CA, whether or not the prohibition limit time D has elapsed In Fig. 1, the first correction coefficient kfctal is set to zero.
- the first correction factor kfctal is a correction factor for increasing the throttle opening TA. For this reason, when kfctal is set to 0, the throttle opening degree TA will be kept below the basic idle opening degree TA0.
- the actual valve timing vtt has reached the judgment value ⁇ ° CA. Later, that is, after the state that can secure the internal EGR amount to some extent is formed, the state in which a large amount of fresh air tends to flow is prevented from being unnecessarily maintained, and the deterioration of the upstream catalyst 3 8 and the downstream catalyst 40 It is possible to create an advantageous situation in terms of restraint.
- step 1 2 2 is jumped until the second judgment value j3 ° CA is reached.
- step 1 30 the target ta is calculated with both the first correction coefficient kfctal and the second correction coefficient kfcta2 set to 0. For this reason, the throttle opening TA is controlled to the basic idle opening TA0.
- the internal EGR amount is secured to some extent when the deceleration target value vt2 is not yet sufficiently approached. Achieving an appropriate throttle opening TA that does not allow an unnecessarily large amount of fresh air to circulate and does not cause the intake pipe pressure PM to become excessively negative in cases where it is possible but not sufficient be able to.
- step 1 4 8 If the actual valve timing vtt reaches the second judgment value] 3 ° CA while the deceleration F / C condition is maintained, the condition of step 1 4 8 is confirmed. In this case, after the second correction coefficient kfcta2 is calculated in step 1 2 2 (the calculation method is the same as in step 1 2 2 in FIG. 3), the processing of step 1 30 is executed.
- step 1 30 When the process of step 1 30 is performed after step 1 2 2, the throttle opening degree TA is controlled to the second target throttle opening degree ta2. For this reason, vtt is ⁇ . After reaching CA, the throttle opening TA can be reduced to the basic throttle opening TA0 or less. According to the above processing, when a state where a sufficient amount of internal EGR can be secured is formed, the throttle opening TA is throttled to prevent oil rising (oil falling) and catalyst deterioration. A compatible state can be realized.
- the throttle opening TA can be gradually reduced as the actual valve timing vtt increases. Therefore, according to the apparatus of the present embodiment, it is possible to more effectively realize prevention of oil rise (oil fall) and suppression of catalyst deterioration as compared with the apparatus of the first embodiment.
- the ECU 50 force S, and vtt> ct ° CA in step 110 shown in FIG. Means "i If the determination is negative, the" fuel cut prohibiting means "force s in the fifth invention is realized by executing the processing of step 110 in FIG. .

- the system of the present embodiment employs a configuration in which the throttle opening TA is electronically controlled based on the accelerator opening AA.
- Fig. 11 A is a timing chart for explaining how the change in accelerator opening AA is reflected in the change in throttle opening TA in this configuration.
- a system that electronically controls the throttle opening TA after the accelerator opening AA changes, there is a certain amount of delay before the change is reflected in the throttle opening TA ( (Hereafter, A t) occurs.

- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a comparison between the case where the determination is made based on the throttle opening degree TA.
- the apparatus of the present embodiment changes the actual valve timing vtt to the deceleration target value vt 2 when the internal combustion engine 10 is decelerated.
- vtt is the decision value. Until CA is reached, execution of F / C is prohibited and throttle opening TA is controlled to the first target throttle opening tal. In this case, the shorter the time it takes for vt t to reach the judgment value a ° CA, the earlier the start time of F / C, and as a result, the fuel consumption characteristics and engine brake response are improved.
- the accelerator opening ⁇ itself is monitored, and when the accelerator opening ⁇ is fully closed, it is assumed that deceleration of the internal combustion engine 10 is requested at that time.
- the control to make the valve timing vtt coincide with the deceleration target value vt2 was started.
- FIG. 12 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in this embodiment in order to realize the above-described function.
- the routine shown in Figure 12 has been moved from step 1 5 0 to step 1 5 0 and step 1 4 0 position S, after step 1 4 0 to step 1 5 0 Except for this point, the routine is the same as the routine shown in FIG.
- the same steps as those shown in FIG. 10 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified.
- step 15 0 it is determined whether the accelerator opening AA is fully closed (step 15 0) following the processing of step 102. As a result, if it is determined that the accelerator opening AA is not fully closed, it is determined that the operation involving the execution of F / C is not requested by the driver. In this case, the normal operation state is continued by executing steps 10 06 to 1 1 0.
- step 1 4 the process for setting the actual valve timing vtt to the deceleration target value vt2 is executed by the process of step 1 4 0, and then the process after step 1 0 4 is executed. Is done.
- the actual valve timing vtt is immediately decelerated without waiting for the change to be reflected in the throttle opening TA.
- the idea of setting the timing for setting the target value of the valve timing VVT to the target value vt2 during deceleration based on the accelerator opening AA is combined with the system of the second embodiment.
- the target of the combination is not limited to the system of the second embodiment. That is, the idea may be incorporated into the system of the first embodiment.
- the ECU 50 electronically controls the throttle opening TA based on the accelerator opening AA.
- the “electronic control means” executes the process of step 150 as part of the process for determining whether or not the F / C can be executed, whereby the “fuel force means” force S in the seventh aspect of the present invention, respectively. It has been realized.
- Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 13 to FIG.
- the system of the present embodiment can be realized by causing the ECU 50 to execute routines shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 to be described later using the hardware configuration shown in FIG.

More specifically, Fig. 1 3 A shows the waveform indicating the F / C execution state, Fig. 1 3 B shows the oxygen storage amount of the upstream catalyst 3 8 0 SA sc , and Fig. 1 3 C shows the downstream catalyst 4. Waveforms of 0 oxygen storage amount 0SA UF are shown.
- the oxygen storage amount 0SA sc of the upstream catalyst 38 begins to increase immediately after the start of F / C, as shown in FIG. 13B.
- the oxygen storage amount 0SA sc eventually converges to the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 38 as long as the execution of F / C is continued.
- the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 are easily deteriorated by receiving the supply of lean gas in a high temperature environment.
- the progress of the deterioration mainly occurs in the process in which the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 each store oxygen. For this reason, after the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 saturately occlude oxygen, even if lean gas is supplied in a high-temperature environment, the deterioration state of these catalysts 38, 40 is almost advanced. do not do.
- the throttle opening TA is reduced to reduce the amount of intake air Ga.
- the downstream catalyst 40 occludes oxygen oxygen, the significance is not necessarily great.
- the return from the F / C force when the throttle opening TA is throttled means the return from the state where the throttle opening TA is throttled and a large valve overlap occurs. .
- the throttle opening TA should be throttled before the F / C ends. It is desirable to cancel and return the valve timing VVT to the timing of normal operation. For the above reasons, in this embodiment, when it is estimated that the oxygen storage amount 0SA UF of the downstream catalyst 40 has reached the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax UF during the execution of F / C, at that time, The throttle opening TA is released and the valve timing VVT is returned to the normal timing.
- FIG. 14 is a flowchart of a main routine executed by the ECU 50 in the present embodiment in order to realize the above function.
- the routine shown in FIG. 14 is the same as the routine shown in FIG. 12 except that the processing of steps 160 to 1606 is added.
- steps similar to those shown in FIG. 12 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted or simplified. That is, according to the routine shown in FIG. 14, as in the case of the routine shown in FIG. 13, the process of step 13 is always executed during the execution of the F / C. Then, according to this routine, after the processing of step 1 30, it is determined whether or not the accumulated lean gas inflow amount TGaso2 force S to the downstream catalyst 40 is smaller than the saturation judgment value E (step 16). 0).
- FIG. 15 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 to calculate the integrated lean gas inflow amount TGaso2 to the downstream catalyst 40. Note that the routine shown in Fig. 15 is a scheduled interrupt routine that is executed repeatedly at predetermined intervals.
- step 1700 it is determined whether or not the deceleration F / C is being executed.
- step 1700 it is determined whether or not the deceleration F / C is being executed.
- the lean determination flag XS02L and the lean gas inflow integration amount TGaso2 are both reset to 0 (step 17 2).
- the integrated value of the intake air amount Ga generated after lean gas begins to blow downstream of the upstream catalyst 38 is calculated as the integrated lean gas inflow amount TGaso2. Can do.
- FIG. 16 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in order to calculate the saturation judgment value E used in step 160.
- the routine shown in FIG. 16 first, it is determined whether or not the maximum oxygen storage amount Cma Xsc of the upstream catalyst 38 has been calculated (step 190 ).
- the ECU 50 can calculate the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 38 by a known method at an appropriate timing during the operation of the internal combustion engine 10. More specifically, the ECU 50 performs known active control on the basis of the output of the air-fuel ratio sensor 4 2 and the output of the oxygen sensor 44 4, so that the Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 3 8 Can be calculated.
- step 190 it is determined whether or not the calculation has been completed, that is, whether or not Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 38 has been calculated. As a result, if it is determined that Cmax sc has already been calculated, a saturation determination value E used for comparison with the lean gas inflow integrated amount TGaso2 is calculated based on the CmaxSC (step 194).
- the saturation judgment value E is set so that the value coincides with the lean gas inflow integrated amount TGaso2 necessary for causing the downstream catalyst 40 to saturately store oxygen.
- This The lean gas inflow integrated amount TGaso2 increases as the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax UF of the downstream catalyst 40 increases.
- the system of this embodiment does not have a function of directly detecting the maximum oxygen storage amount Cma XuF .
- the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax UF of the downstream catalyst 40 is a value that changes as the catalyst deteriorates, as does the maximum oxygen storage amount Cma Xsc of the upstream catalyst 38 . Therefore, there is a significant correlation between the two Cmax UF and Cmax sc . Therefore, in this embodiment, the saturation determination value E is set based on the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmaxsc of the upstream catalyst 38 having an indirect correlation.
- FIG. 17 is an example of a map that the ECU 50 refers to when setting the saturation judgment value E by the above method.
- the ECU 50 calculates the saturation judgment value E of the lean gas inflow integrated value TGaso2 based on the maximum oxygen storage amount Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 38 in step 1 9 2 with reference to the map shown in FIG. To do. According to this map, the greater the Cmax sc of the upstream catalyst 38 is, the larger the saturation judgment value E is set.
- step 190 the maximum oxygen storage amount Cnrnx sc of the upstream catalyst 3 8 is set to the maximum value that can be assumed (step 1 9 4), and the maximum Cmax sc if step 1 9 2 processing is executed. based on the maximum Cmax sc based on the saturation judgment value E is set to the maximum value. According to such processing, the calculation of Cmax sc is Since this is not completed, it is possible to reliably prevent the saturation judgment value E from being set to an excessively small value.
- the lean gas inflow integrated amount calculated as described above is used.
- TGa S o2 force S whether saturation judgment value or E is smaller than that is set as described above is determined . According to this determination, in effect, the oxygen storage amount 0SA w of the downstream catalyst 4 0, or less than its maximum oxygen storage amount Cma XuF is determined. If TGaso2 ⁇ E is established, it can be determined that the downstream catalyst 40 has not yet stored oxygen in a saturated manner. According to the routine shown in Fig. 14, in this case, no further processing is performed, that is, the throttle opening TA is throttled and the state where a large pulp overlap is secured is maintained. The current processing cycle is terminated.
- the downstream catalyst 40 does not saturately store oxygen, there is a benefit of reducing the throttle opening TA to protect it.
- the throttle opening TA can be kept narrow while the profit exists. Therefore, according to the apparatus of the present embodiment, the catalyst can be protected as in the case of the third embodiment.
- step 160 If TGaso2 ⁇ E is not established in step 160, the throttle opening TA is then controlled to the first target throttle opening tal (step 1 6 4) .
- step 1 6 6 a process for setting the actual valve timing vtt to the normal target value vt l is executed (step 1 6 6). Note that the processing in step 1 6 4 and the processing in step 1 6 6 are the same as the processing in step 1 4 4 and the processing in step 1 0 6, respectively, and therefore, further explanation is omitted here. .
- the throttle opening degree TA is released.
- the valve overlap is returned to the normal value
- the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the throttle opening TA may be released and the valve overlap may be returned to the normal value when the F / C duration has reached a predetermined time.
- the throttle opening TA is set when the accumulated amount of lean gas inflow TGaso2 to the downstream catalyst 40 reaches the amount (E) that saturates the downstream catalyst 40 with oxygen.
- the power S that decides the disappearance of the actual profits to be narrowed S, and the judgment method is not limited to this. That is, the determination is made based on whether or not the cumulative intake air amount after the start of the F / C can be estimated to have reached a value that saturates both the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 with oxygen. It is good as well.

- the throttle opening is ta3, and then the appropriate timing (Fig. This is characterized in that the throttle opening TA is set to the first target throttle opening tal at time t3) at 18.
- both the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 store oxygen in a saturated manner. For this reason, after time t2, there is no practical benefit of reducing the flow rate of air flowing into the catalyst.
- the amount of air is increased, cooling of the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 can be promoted.
- the catalyst is deteriorated by receiving a large amount of oxygen in a high temperature environment. In other words, even under a situation where a large amount of oxygen is supplied, if the catalyst is at a low temperature, the progress of deterioration can be suppressed. For this reason, if a large amount of circulating air is generated at the time t2 and the cooling of the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 is promoted, an advantageous situation can be obtained in suppressing their deterioration. Can be produced.
- the system of the present embodiment is configured such that, as shown in FIG. 18D, when the downstream catalyst 40 is saturated with oxygen, the throttle opening TA is set as the first target throttle opening.
- the third target throttle opening ta3 is larger than tal. Since such throttle control is executed, according to the system of this embodiment, the deterioration of the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 can be further suppressed as compared with the case of the fourth embodiment. Is possible.
- FIGS. 19 and 20 are flowcharts of the main routine executed by the ECU 50 in the present embodiment in order to realize the above-described functions.
- This flow chart shows steps 1 1 8, 1 2 0, 1 30, 1 4 4, 1 6 2 and 1 6 4 forces step 1 1 8 ', 1 2 0', 1 3 0 ", 1 4 4

- the steps are changed formally from steps 1 1 8, 1 2 0, 1 3 0, 1 4 4, 1 6 2 and 1 6 4 respectively.
- steps 1 1 8 ′, 1 2 0 ′, and 1 6 2 ′ are the same as the third correction coefficient kfcta3 for the processing in steps 1 1 8, 1 2 0 and 1 6 2.

- the routine shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20 is substantially the same as the routine shown in FIG. 14 except that the processing of steps 20 0 to 2 10 is added. .
- the contents of the routines shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 will be described below with a focus on the description of steps 20 0 to 2 10 peculiar to this embodiment.
- the cooling flag XC00L is set to 0 (step 2 0 0) after the processing of step 1 1 0.
- the cooling flag XC00L is a flag for indicating that the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 are sufficiently cooled. During the prohibition of F / C, it is normal for the catalyst to become hot, so here the flag XC00L is set to 0.
- step 160 if TGaso2 and E are not established in step 160, that is, if oxygen saturation of the downstream catalyst 40 is estimated, both kfcta2 and kfcta3 are 0 in step 16 2 ′. After that, it is determined whether or not 1 is set in the cooling flag XC00L (step 20 2).
- step 160 Immediately after the first failure of step 160 is recognized, the cooling flag XC00L is set to 0, so the condition of step 202 is not satisfied.
- the third correction coefficient kfcta3 is calculated with reference to the map shown in FIG.
- the throttle opening TA is controlled so that the target ta (third target throttle opening ta3) obtained by substituting the third correction coefficient kfcta3 into the above equation (2) is realized.
- FIG. 21 shows an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for calculating the third correction coefficient kfcta3.
- the third correction coefficient kfcta3 is set to a larger value as the engine speed NE is higher, and the engine speed NE is The minimum value is set to 0 when the value is close to the dollar speed. Further, according to this map, the third correction coefficient kfcta3 that is sufficiently larger than the first correction coefficient kfctal can be set except during idle operation. For this reason, according to the process of step 204 above, it is possible to create a situation where a sufficiently large amount of intake air Ga can be circulated compared to the amount of intake air Ga for the purpose of preventing the oil from rising (oil down). Can do.
- step 20 4 when the process of step 20 4 is completed, it is next determined whether or not the cooling air integrated amount TGacool has reached the cooling determination value F (step 2 0 6 ).
- the total amount of cooling air TGacool is the amount of intake air that circulates after the processing of step 204 above is started, that is, after the throttle opening TA is expanded to the third target throttle opening ta3. This is the integrated value of Ga.
- the cooling judgment value F is a value set as the amount of air necessary to sufficiently cool the upstream catalyst 38 and the lower catalyst 40 (the setting method will be described in detail later). . Therefore, according to the process of step 26, it is practically determined whether or not the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 have been sufficiently cooled to suppress the progress of deterioration. be able to.
- step 2 08 If it is determined that TGacool> F is not established, it can be determined that the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 have not yet been sufficiently cooled. In this case, after the process of updating the cooling air accumulated amount TGacool is performed (step 2 08), the actual valve timing vtt is controlled to the normal target value vt 1 in step 1 66. In step 208, specifically, by adding the intake air amount Ga generated during the execution cycle of this routine to TGacool (i-1) in the previous processing cycle, the latest A process for calculating the integrated amount TGacoo l (i) is executed.
- steps 2 0 to 2 0 8 and 1 6 6 is performed every time this routine is started until the integrated amount of cooling air TGacool reaches the cooling judgment value F as long as F / C is continued. Repeatedly.
- the valve timing VVT is returned to the normal setting until sufficient cooling of the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 is determined. A large amount of air can be circulated. For this reason, according to the system of the present embodiment, during the execution of F / C, the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 can be effectively cooled, and the progress of the deterioration can be effectively prevented. it can.
- step 1 6 4 ′ the process of step 1 6 4 ′ is executed next. That is, by substituting the first correction coefficient kfctal calculated according to the map shown in FIG. 7 and the second and third correction coefficients kfcta2 and kfcta3, both of which are set to 0, into the above equation (2), the first target The throttle opening tal is calculated, and control is performed to set the throttle opening TA to the first target throttle opening tal. Thereafter, in step 1 6 6, after the processing for setting the actual valve timing vtt to the normal target value vt l is executed, the current processing cycle is terminated.
- FIG. 22 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in order to set the cooling determination value F used in step 20.
- the routine shown in FIG. 22 first, it is determined whether or not the catalyst temperature estimation calculation has been completed (step 2 20).
- the ECU 50 can estimate the catalyst temperature based on the operating state of the internal combustion engine 10 and the like.
- this step 220 it is determined whether or not the calculation has been completed.
- the cooling judgment value F is calculated based on the estimation result (step 2 2 2). Since the cooling judgment value F is an air flow rate necessary for sufficiently cooling the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40, it is necessary to set a larger amount as the catalyst temperature is higher.
- FIG. 23 is an example of a map of the cooling determination value F used in the present embodiment from the above viewpoint.
- the ECU 50 sets the cooling judgment value F by referring to this map in the above step 2 2 2. According to such processing, the higher the catalyst temperature, the larger the cooling determination value F can be set, and the above requirement can be satisfied.
- the estimation of the catalyst temperature may not be completed at the time when the processing in step 220 above is required.
- the catalyst temperature is set to the lowest possible temperature (eg 500 ° C) (step 2 2 4), and the processing of step 2 2 2 is performed based on the lowest catalyst temperature. Executed. Based on the lowest catalyst temperature Then, the cooling judgment value F is set to the minimum value. According to such processing, since the estimation of the catalyst temperature is incomplete, the cooling judgment value F is set to an excessive value, and as a result, the upstream catalyst 38 and the downstream catalyst 40 are excessively cooled. Can be surely prevented.
- the throttle opening TA is set to the opening for cooling, that is, the third target slot.
- the opening is set to the opening degree ta3, but the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the throttle opening degree TA may be simply changed to the third target throttle opening degree ta3 when the F / C duration time reaches a predetermined time.
- the process of cooling the catalyst at the stage where the downstream catalyst 40 has saturatedly occluded oxygen is incorporated into the apparatus of the fourth embodiment.
- the present invention is not limited to this. That is, the above-described processing unique to the present embodiment may be incorporated into any of the devices of the first to third embodiments.
- step 1 6 4 ′ “cooling flow rate realization means” in the first aspect of the invention is performed by executing the process of ECU 50 force S and step 20 4. By executing this, the “flow rate changing means” force in the first and second inventions is realized.
- the ECU 50 performs the process of step 2 20 or 2 24, whereby the “catalyst temperature detection estimation means” in the first aspect of the invention is executed in step 2.
- the “cooling time setting means” force in the first and third aspects of the present invention is realized by executing the process 2.
- Embodiment 6 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Light up.
- the system of the present embodiment can be realized by causing the ECU 50 to execute routines shown in FIGS. 24 and 27 described later using the hardware configuration shown in FIG.
- the system of this embodiment is different from that of Embodiments 1 to 5 in that the valve timing VVT is changed so that the valve overlap increases during F / C, that is, the internal EGR amount increases. It is the same.
- the variable valve mechanism 3 2 advances the valve opening timing of the intake valve 28 to increase the valve overlap.
- variable valve mechanism 3 2 When the variable valve mechanism 3 2 is operated in the advance direction during execution of F / C, in order to maintain the state of the internal combustion engine stably when returning from F / C, the variable valve mechanism is 3 It is necessary to cancel the lead angle of 2 and reduce the internal EGR amount appropriately. At this time, if the variable valve mechanism 34 is slow in response and the advance angle state is maintained, the operation state of the internal combustion engine becomes unstable until the advance angle is released.
- the system of the present embodiment is more specific to the operation speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2 prior to driving the variable valve mechanism 3 2 in the advance direction. Therefore, the operating speed when the variable valve mechanism 32 operates in the retarding method is detected.
- the advance amount of the variable valve mechanism 32 during F / C is set based on the operating speed detected as described above. In other words, when the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2 is fast, the advance amount in F / C is set to a large value. Conversely, when the operating speed is slow, the advance amount in F / C is Was set to a small value.
- FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the first routine executed by the ECU 50 in order to realize the above function. More specifically, this routine detects the operation speed when the variable valve mechanism 32 operates in the retarding direction, and based on the operation speed, the correction coefficient kdvt2 of the valve timing VVT and the throttle opening This is to calculate the degree correction coefficient kfcta2.
- the engine speed NE is taken in (step 2 30).
- the variable valve mechanism 3 2 is driven by the hydraulic pressure of the internal combustion engine. For this reason, the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2 varies depending on the level of the engine speed NE.
- variable valve mechanism 32 is advanced during the F / C in the high rotation region as compared with the F / C in the low rotation region. For this reason, when examining whether or not the variable valve mechanism 3 2 can return to an appropriate state when returning from the F / C, what kind of operation does the variable valve mechanism 3 2 perform in the high speed range? It is appropriate to see if it shows speed.
- the determination rotational speed “a” used in step 2 3 2 is a value for determining whether or not the internal combustion engine is operating in a high speed region (for example, 30 O rpm or more). Therefore, if the determination is negative, it is determined that the current operating state is not a state in which the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 34 should be detected, and the current process is immediately terminated thereafter.
- step 2 3 2 it is determined that the conditions for detecting the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2 are satisfied as far as the engine speed NE is concerned. it can.
- the actual valve timing vtt is fetched (step 2 3 4), and then it is judged whether or not the fetched vtt is larger than the judgment value b (step 2 3 6).
- the variable valve mechanism 3 2 it is necessary to operate the variable valve mechanism 3 2 to some extent. In other words, when detecting the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2 in the retarded direction, it is necessary that the variable valve mechanism 3 2 be displaced to some extent in the advance direction.
- step 2 36 If it is determined in step 2 36 that vtt> b is not satisfied, it is determined that the assumption is not satisfied, and the current processing is immediately terminated thereafter. On the other hand, if vtt> b is established, it can be determined that the condition for detecting the operating speed is satisfied as far as the advance amount of the variable valve mechanism 32 is concerned. In this case, it is next determined whether or not the valve timing fully-closed control is requested (step 2 38).
- variable valve mechanism 3 2 is advanced so that a certain degree of valve overlap occurs in a situation where the engine speed NE is secured to some extent and the throttle opening TA is secured to some extent. Driven in the direction. Further, the variable valve mechanism 32 is driven so that the valve overlap disappears when the internal combustion engine is lightly loaded. For this reason, for example, when the throttle valve 18 is closed during acceleration or high-speed traveling, a change from medium to high load to light load is recognized, and the variable valve mechanism 3 2 Therefore, it is driven to the state where the advance angle is released. When the throttle is fully closed and it is determined that the F / C condition is satisfied, the above-described change starts the F / C described above.
- the advance of the advance angle is commanded to the variable valve mechanism 32.
- the variable valve mechanism 32 operates in the retarded direction at the maximum speed in order to quickly release the advance state.
- the control for operating the variable valve mechanism 32 in the retarding direction as described above is referred to as “fully closed control”.
- the routine shown in Fig. 24 if it is determined in step 2 3 8 that a request for full-closed control has not occurred, there is no opportunity to detect the operating speed of the variable valve mechanism 3 2. It can be judged. In this case, the current processing is immediately terminated thereafter. On the other hand, if it is determined that a request for the fully closed control has occurred, then the closing speed A vtc of the variable valve mechanism 32 is taken in (step 24 0).
- the closing speed A vtc is an operation amount per unit time generated in the variable valve mechanism 32 after the fully closed control is started. Specifically, in the above step 240, the operation position of the variable valve mechanism 32 is detected by a sensor built in the variable valve mechanism 32 at a predetermined sampling period. Then, the closing speed A vtc is calculated based on the sampling period and the change amount of the operating position.
- the correction coefficient kdvt2 is a coefficient for correcting the target value vt2 at the time of deceleration of the valve timing VVT.
- FIG. 25 shows an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for calculating the correction coefficient kdvt2.
- the correction coefficient kdvt2 is set as a function of the closing speed A vtc. Specifically, the correction coefficient kdvt2 is set to approach the minimum value 0 as the closing speed A vtc decreases, and to approach the maximum value 1.0 as the closing speed A vtc increases.
- a correction coefficient kdta2 corresponding to the correction coefficient kdvt2 is calculated (step 2 46).
- the correction coefficient kdta2 calculated here is the second correction coefficient that determines the throttle amount to be given to the throttle opening TA during F / C. This is a coefficient for correcting kfc ta2.
- FIG. 26 shows an example of a map stored in the ECU 50 for calculating the correction coefficient kdta2.
- the correction coefficient kdta2 is set as a function of the correction coefficient kdvt2 set in steps 2 44 and 4 above.
- the correction coefficient kdta2 is set so as to show a substantially proportional relationship with the correction coefficient kdvt2.
- the correction coefficient kdta2 calculated here also approaches the minimum value 0 as the closing speed A vtc of the variable valve mechanism 32 is slower, and the speed A vtc is faster, similar to the correction coefficient kdvt2.
- the maximum value is set to approach 1.0.
- FIG. 27 is a flowchart of a routine executed by the ECU 50 in the present embodiment in order to control the variable valve mechanism 3 2 and the throttle valve 18.
- This routine is substantially the same as the routine shown in FIG. 3 except that the processing of steps 2550 to 2600 is inserted at an appropriate location.
- steps 2550 to 2600 is inserted at an appropriate location.
- the same steps as those shown in FIG. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted or simplified. According to the routine shown in Fig.
- Step 2 5 0 it is next determined whether the closing speed detected flag X ⁇ VTC is set to 1.
- the system of the present embodiment calculates the advance amount that can be quickly extinguished by the closing speed A vtc, and calculates the calculated value to the target VVT during deceleration ( Set as vt2).
- the closing speed ⁇ vtc is unknown, it is not possible to set such a target value vt2 properly. Can not. For this reason, if it is determined in step 2550 that 1 ⁇ VTC is not set to 1, the target VVT (vt2), that is, should be given to the variable valve mechanism 3 2 during F / C.
- the advance amount is set to the minimum value 0.
- step 25 0 the closing speed detected flag X ⁇ VTC is set to 1 in step 25 0 above.
- the target VVT during deceleration by the processing in step 1 1 2 (vt2) (Hereinafter, the value calculated here is referred to as “reference value of vt2”), and then the correction coefficient kdvt2 is fetched (step 2 5 4).
- Step 1 1 2 As in the case of Embodiment 1, according to the map shown in Fig. 5, the valve timing required to generate a sufficient EGR amount during F / C (in this embodiment, possible) (Advance amount of variable valve mechanism 3 2) is calculated as vt2. Further, according to the processing of step 25 4, the correction coefficient kdvt 2 calculated in step 24 4 shown in FIG.
- the target VVT (vt2) to be used in the current processing cycle is calculated by substituting the reference value of vt2 and the correction coefficient kdvt2 into the right side of the following equation (Step 25). 6).
- the correction coefficient kdvt2 is a coefficient that approaches the maximum value 1.0 as the closing speed A vtc increases (see FIG. 25).
