Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fuel injection control device for a multi-fuel engine, and more particularly to a fuel injection control device suitable for a multi-fuel engine that can use a mixed fuel of gasoline and alcohol.
- Alcohol-mixed fuel has a different calorific value and vaporization characteristics compared to 100% gasoline fuel, and also has different characteristics depending on the alcohol concentration indicating the mixing ratio to gasoline. If an alcohol mixed fuel is used, the control air-fuel ratio deviates from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. As a result, the exhaust component may change or the drivability may change.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for increasing and correcting the fuel injection amount in accordance with the alcohol concentration of the fuel. JP 2004-293491 A
- the alcohol concentration of the fuel to be refueled is not always the same, and it is also assumed that the alcohol concentration differs for each refueling. If the alcohol concentration of the fuel supplied while the engine is stopped is greatly different from the stored learning result, that is, the alcohol concentration of the fuel in the fuel tank, the fuel injection amount deviates from the appropriate range at the next engine start. there is a possibility.
- the measurement value (voltage) of the O2 sensor is applied to a predetermined function to obtain a correction coefficient, and further within a predetermined period.
- a learning average value (for example, moving average value) of the obtained correction coefficient is calculated, and feedback control is performed using this learning average value as an input parameter. Therefore, even if the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas changes, a predetermined response delay occurs until this is reflected in the increase or decrease in the fuel injection amount.
- the alcohol contains oxygen atoms in its composition, and the amount of oxygen per unit volume required for combustion is less than in the case of burning gasoline, so that the same equivalent ratio is obtained. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the fuel injection amount as the alcohol concentration increases. Therefore, if fuel with low alcohol concentration is supplied when the alcohol concentration of the stored learning result is high, fuel exceeding the appropriate amount is supplied, the air-fuel ratio becomes overrich, and misfire occurs. There was a problem that.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel injection control device for a multi-fuel engine that can quickly respond to changes in the alcohol concentration of fuel and optimize the fuel injection amount.
- the present invention provides a fuel injection control apparatus that controls the injection amount of alcohol-mixed fuel into an engine based on the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas.
- an oxygen concentration sensor that outputs a signal corresponding to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, and a plurality of fuel injection maps that are provided for each alcohol concentration of the fuel and that define the relationship between the engine operating state and the fuel injection amount; Learning means for calculating the oxygen concentration by learning the output of the oxygen concentration sensor for a predetermined period; first switching means for switching a fuel injection map based on the oxygen concentration; and fuel based on the output of the oxygen concentration sensor.
- a fuel injection amount determining means for determining the fuel injection amount by applying the operating state.
- the second switching means switches the fuel injection map based on the signal itself output from the oxygen concentration sensor.
- the second switching means switches the fuel injection map when the throttle opening is larger than a predetermined reference value.
- the second switching means switches the fuel injection map to a fuel injection map on the higher alcohol concentration side when the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is high.
- the feedback control is performed by the output of the oxygen concentration sensor. Since the oxygen concentration learned based on this is not used as an input parameter, but the output of the oxygen concentration sensor itself is used as an input parameter, fluctuations in the air-fuel ratio can be quickly reflected in the fuel injection amount.

- the calculation process of the injected fuel amount by the ECU 10 is roughly divided into “starting injection control” and “normal operation injection control”.
- the starting injection time TICR for injecting fuel into the injector 5 at the time of starting the engine is uniquely determined by the coolant temperature TW of the cooling water of the engine 1. Specifically, as shown in an example in FIG. 5, the correspondence relationship between the water temperature TW and the start injection time TICR is stored in the ROM 23 in advance as a start injection table, and based on the water temperature TW detected at the start. The start injection time TICR is obtained by referring to the start injection table.
- the optimal injection time varies depending on the ethanol concentration even when the water temperature TW is constant. It is necessary to set an injection time such that maximum fuel injection can be performed when the ethanol concentration is high while preventing excessive fuel injection when the fuel concentration is low. Therefore, in this embodiment, a concentration range as shown in FIG. 6B is set, and a start injection table is prepared for each of the ethanol reference concentrations E1, E2, E3, and E4.

For this reason, if fuel injection is started at the same injection timing as when the fuel is gasoline, the end timing of the injection is delayed.

- the O2 concentration coefficient calculation unit 100 calculates an oxygen concentration coefficient KO2 for maintaining the theoretical air-fuel ratio, based on the measured value (voltage) VO2 of the O2 sensor 15 representing the oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe 7. It is known that this oxygen concentration coefficient KO2 is substantially proportional to the ethanol concentration of fuel. Further, since the oxygen concentration coefficient KO2 vibrates due to a change with time or external influence during the operation of the engine 1, the O2 concentration coefficient calculation unit 100 further calculates a learning average value (moving average value) KO2REF of the oxygen concentration coefficient KO2. For example, it is calculated based on the following formula (1).
- KO2REF n-1 is the previous learning average value.

- the fuel injection map is switched to the high concentration side or the low concentration side.
- the learned average value KO2REF indicates a large value when the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is high, and indicates a small value when the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas is low. Therefore, if KO2REF is large, it is determined that the ethanol concentration of the fuel is high, and processing for switching to a map having a high ethanol concentration is performed. On the other hand, if KO2REF is small, it is determined that the ethanol concentration of the fuel is low, and processing for switching to a map with a low ethanol concentration is performed.

- FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a change in the starting injection time TICR when the number of repetitions N is set to 4 in the process of FIG. 12, and the TICR increases stepwise by ⁇ ti every time four injections are performed.
- the starting injection time reaches Tmax, cranking is continued in a state where the TICR is maintained.
- the minimum value at which the ICCR changes is the minimum required injection amount (lower limit concentration required injection amount) at the reference ethanol concentration set in the setting set, and the maximum value is the maximum required injection at the ethanol concentration.
- ⁇ ti and the number of repetitions N are determined in advance such that the amount (the upper limit concentration required injection amount) is reached.

エンジン負荷検知部103は、エンジン回転数Neおよびスロットル開度THに基づいて現在のエンジン負荷を検知する。切替選択部104は、前記エンジン負荷の判定結果に基づいて第1および第2マップ切替部101,102の一方を選択する。選択されたマップ切替部は、O2センサ15の計測値VO2またはその学習平均値KO2REFに基づいてマップ切替を実行する。燃料噴射量制御部105は、選択されているマップ切替部により切り替えられた燃料噴射マップにエンジンパラメータを適用して燃料噴射量を決定する。
Claims (4)
