Fig. 2 is the method for engine starting shown in Fig. 1 and operation, and it is represented in a flowchart.
Embodiment
With reference to Fig. 1, the schematic representation of the part of its expression internal-combustion engine is represented with reference character 10.This internal-combustion engine 10 comprises cylinder block 12, and this cylinder block has a plurality of cylinders 14.A plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 16 pass through unshowned valve actuation mechanism cooperating with admission cam shaft 18, thereby the air quantity that measures or the air and the fuel quantity of supply cylinder 14 burning usefulness are provided, and wherein the part of hydraulic lash adjuster and admission cam shaft is shown among Fig. 1.In addition, a plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 20 pass through unshowned valve actuation mechanism cooperating with exhaust cam shaft 22, thereby discharge products of combustion from cylinder 14, and wherein the part of hydraulic lash adjuster and exhaust cam shaft is shown among Fig. 1.Intake cam phase discriminator 24 is installed on the admission cam shaft 18.Similarly, exhaust cam phaser 26 is installed on the exhaust cam shaft 22.The technician in engine design field will recognize that intake cam phase discriminator 24 and exhaust cam phaser 26 are used for changing respectively intake valve timing and exhaust valve timing.
Internal-combustion engine 10 is four stroke engine, and it has aspirating stroke, compression stroke, expansion stroke or expansion stroke and exhaust stroke.During aspirating stroke, when can be in cylinder the pistons reciprocating (not shown) when top dead center position moves to bottom dead center position, air and fuel are introduced in the cylinder 14.During compression stroke, air and fuel are moved to the Piston Compression of top dead center position from bottom dead center position.During expansion stroke, air and fuel burn, and the products of combustion that expands promotes piston and moves to bottom dead center position from top dead center position rapidly.During exhaust stroke, along with piston from bottom dead center position to the moving of top dead center position, products of combustion is discharged from cylinder 14.Those skilled in the art will recognize that the timing that intake valve is opened incident enters into influence the air quantity of cylinder 14.
Internal-combustion engine 10 also comprises oil groove or container 28, food tray for example, and it can be used for holding the fluid of a constant volume, and for example engine oil 30.Engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 is drawn oil 30 by getting oil pipe 34 from container 28.Engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 is positive displacement pumps, and its oil 30 that is under the pressure flows to filter 36.Before oil 30 entered main oil gallery 38, filter 36 was removed particulate matter from oil.Main oil gallery 38 is used to provide oil 30 with the moving element in the lubricated internal-combustion engine, for example unshowned camshaft and main bearing.Provide throttle orifice 40 on the part of main oil gallery 38, it is used to limit oil 30 flowing to hydraulic lash adjuster supply loop 42.Hydraulic lash adjuster supply loop 42 comprises connection regulator service duct 44, and it is used for being transported to each of a plurality of connection regulators 20 to oily 30 and being transported to solenoid operated valve 46 from throttle orifice 40.As known to those skilled in the art, a plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 16 and 20 utilize the compressed oil in the hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 44 to keep the interior suitable gap of valve actuation element of internal-combustion engine 10, and these valve actuation elements do not illustrate in the drawings.
A plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 16 are called as " conversion " hydraulic lash adjuster.That is to say that according to the hydrodynamic pressure of the oil 30 that is transported to it, hydraulic lash adjuster 16 provides at least two visibly different valve lifts.Solenoid actuated valve 46 is supplied with a plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 16 to the oil 30 of low voltage value and high-voltage value selectively.Solenoid actuated valve 46 is when primary importance, by the expression of aliging with passage 44 as the valve portion 47 that schematically shows among Fig. 1, the oil 30 in the hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 44 must be earlier by throttle orifice 48 before entering the second hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 50.Throttle orifice 48 is that the oil 30 in the second hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 50 produces the force value that reduces, thereby makes a plurality of hydraulic lash adjusters 16 that the first valve lift value can be provided.In addition, when the force value of oil 30 in the second hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 50 is excessive, pressure relief valve 52 will be discharged to oil 30 in the container 28.Selectively, when solenoid actuated valve 46 is in the second place, align with passage 44 (dotted line) as the valve portion 54 that schematically shows among Fig. 1, oil 30 in the hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 44 will flow to the second hydraulic lash adjuster service duct 50 without restriction, thereby obtain the duaspiracle lift range value.
Cam phaser service duct 56 flows to the first and second cam phaser control valves 58 and 60 to compressed oil respectively from main oil gallery 38.The first and second cam phaser control valves 58 and 60 flow to intake cam phase discriminator 24 and exhaust cam phaser 26 to the oil 30 in the cam phaser service duct 56 respectively selectively and changeably, thereby activate.When not having pressure fluid in service duct 56, air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 will remain on acquiescence or " playback " position.
When engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 does not provide enough compressed oil, promptly do not move or during hypotony, the invention provides a kind of auxiliary cam phaser hydraulic circuit 62 and activate air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 when motor.Auxiliary cam phaser hydraulic circuit 62 comprises auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64, this oil hydraulic pump is drawn oil 30 from container 28, and the oil 30 that is under the pressure flowed to cam phaser service duct 56, flow to the first and second cam phaser control valves 58 and 60 subsequently.Before oil 30 was transported to cam phaser service duct 56, filter 65 was used for from oil 30 separation and removes particulate matter.When not from the compressed oil of engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32, auxiliary cam phaser hydraulic circuit 62 makes air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 be operated or activate.In a preferred embodiment, Fu Zhu oil hydraulic pump 64 is operated by motor 66.When 64 work of auxiliary oil hydraulic pump, one-way valve 68 can be included in the cam phaser service duct 56, is used to close or forbids oil 30 flowing to main oil gallery 38.But also can save one-way valve 68 provides compressed oil with the oil hydraulic pump 64 that allows to assist to main oil gallery 38, thereby before cranking internal combustion engine 10, other lubricating loops in hydraulic lash adjuster supply loop 42 and the internal-combustion engine 10 is pressurizeed.By providing a certain amount of oily 30 by auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64 to internal-combustion engine 10, the internal-combustion engine 10 during starts wearing and tearing of inner member is minimized.
Preferably, electronic control unit or ECU70 can control the first and second cam phaser control valves 58 and 60, motor 66 and solenoid actuated valve 46 in response to the input signal 72 of motor, speed changer and/or unshowned vehicle sensors.ECU70 preferably includes programmable digital computer, and its working principle is well known to those skilled in the art.In addition, ECU70 can comprise look-up table and algorithm memory, thereby can accurately control the first and second cam phaser control valves 58 and 60 in response to input signal 72.
Selection to the playback position of air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 is normally such, promptly makes internal-combustion engine 10 to start under low-down ambient air temperature condition, for example-40 degree centigrade.In order to accomplish this point, intake cam phase discriminator 24 is parked in a position to admission cam shaft 18, and this position allows the air of maximum flow to be inhaled in the cylinder 14 during engine start.This makes the effective compression ratio of motor be maximized.The effective compression ratio of internal-combustion engine can be understood that the compression ratio of motor when starting or operation usually, and it can be different from geometrical compression ratio, and geometrical compression ratio calculates by the size value of internal-combustion engine.Effective compression ratio is responsive to the variation of intake valve timing.By introduce the air of maximum flow in the cylinder of internal-combustion engine 10, in-cylinder pressure will increase during compression stroke, so the temperature in the cylinder 14 also raise, thereby make fuel burn effectively under so low ambient air temperature.
Along with the rising of ambient air temperature, making internal-combustion engine 10 effectively start required effective compression ratio can reduce.Therefore, before cranking internal combustion engine, early close the engine operation mode of (EIVC) by activating intake cam phase discriminator 24 to allow intake valve pass in evening (LIVC) or intake valve, cranking internal combustion engine 10 required active forces can reduce.The LIVC operator scheme is regulated the phase place of admission cam shaft 18, thereby allows the intake valve of internal-combustion engine 10 to enter the engine compresses stroke than staying open more lately usually.Therefore, during compression stroke, the part of air that sucks cylinder 14 is released from cylinder 14 to reduce the air supply in the cylinder 14.Selectively, the EIVC operator scheme is regulated the phase place of admission cam shaft 18, thereby allows intake valve earlier than usual during the engine charge stroke of internal-combustion engine 10 to close.Therefore, the air quantity that sucks cylinder 14 is reduced, thereby has reduced the air supply in the cylinder 14 during the compression stroke.When internal-combustion engine 10 shut down, auxiliary cam phaser hydraulic circuit 62 allowed air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 motions.Preferably, ECU70 is programmed to send instruction to the first cam phaser control valve 58 when internal-combustion engine 10 shuts down, is the phase adjusted of intake cam phase discriminator 24 in LIVC and the EIVC operator scheme one, thereby reduces priming power by reducing compression.Authorizing day is the U.S. Patent No. 6 on January 18th, 2005,843,214 pairs are adopted cam phaser to allow LIVC and EIVC operator scheme more detailed description to be arranged, and this patent is transferred to assignee of the present invention, quotes the full content of this patent by reference at this.
Reducing for so-called " the slight mixing " vehicle of internal-combustion engine 10 priming power is especially favourable, and this does not illustrate in the drawings.This slight hybrid vehicle adopts " idling stops " operating mode.Be in operation, when slight hybrid vehicle is in static and internal-combustion engine 10 when being in idling, for example when red light, internal-combustion engine 10 cuts out automatically with fuel saving.Subsequently, when the operator needs vehicle to move, internal-combustion engine 10 by automatic command to reset.Preferably, the starting of internal-combustion engine 10 for the operator, be not aware of good more.
During idle stop mode, auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64 can be operated with permission intake cam phase discriminator 24 instruction admission cam shafts and change to LIVC or EIVC position, thereby reduces the priming power of internal-combustion engine 10.By reducing the priming power of internal-combustion engine 10, reset relevant noise, vibration and uneven compliance (NVH) with motor and can reduce.In addition, owing to reduced priming power, the size of resetting the dyna-starter of the starter motor of this vehicle or combination can be reduced.
In order to realize activating, air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 need threshold value oil flow and pressure usually.When engine speed is low, when for example oily 30 viscosity are high during idling or between internal-combustion engine 10 warming up periods, can't obtain this oil flow and pressure usually.During the engine low rotation speed and between internal-combustion engine 10 warming up periods, by adopting engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 and auxiliary cam phaser hydraulic circuit 62 simultaneously, the ability that activates exhaust and intake cam phase discriminator 24 and 26 is kept.By operating auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64 and engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32, the phase place of air inlet and exhaust cam shaft 18 and 22 can be adjusted to internal-combustion engine 10 is moved under optimum condition.
Referring now to Fig. 2, and continue with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 shows the illustrative methods 74 of operation of combustion engine 10.Preferably, thus ECU70 will be programmed in advance according to method 74 operating internal-combustion engines 10.This method 74 starts from step 76.In step 76, ECU sends instruction to auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64, thereby this oil hydraulic pump is carried the oil 30 that is under the pressure to cam phaser service duct 56, thereby makes air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 to work.This method proceeds to step 78 then, and wherein ECU sends instruction to intake cam phase discriminator 24, makes internal-combustion engine 10 to move under one in LIVC and EIVC operator scheme, thereby internal-combustion engine 10 is under the state that is more conducive to start.
Method 74 proceeds to step 80 then, judges whether to order internal-combustion engine 10 startings in this step.If ECU70 does not send starting order, method 74 will be got back to step 76.Otherwise if ECU70 has ordered internal-combustion engine 10 startings, method 74 will proceed to step 82, and internal-combustion engine 10 is started in step 82.In step 84, auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64 will continue to give cam phaser service duct 56 that oil 30 is provided, thereby activate air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26.Method 74 proceeds to step 86 then, judges wherein whether the rotating speed of internal-combustion engine 10 is equal to or less than the threshold value rotating speed.This threshold engine rotating speed discussed above is meant such rotating speed, to such an extent as to engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 provides to air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 when engine speed is lower than this rotating speed fluid flow and the too low actuating that can't realize air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 of pressure.If also do not reach the threshold engine rotating speed, method 74 will be got back to step 84, provide actuating air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26 required oil 30 thereby auxiliary oil hydraulic pump will continue operation to cam phaser service duct 56.Otherwise if reached the threshold engine rotating speed, method 74 will proceed to step 88, and ECU70 will stop the operation of auxiliary hydraulic pump 64.At this moment, the flow and the pressure of the oil 30 that provides of engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32 are enough to activate air inlet and exhaust cam phaser 24 and 26.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, also can adopt other parameter substitution engine speed, come to determine suitable transition point between the operation of auxiliary oil hydraulic pump 64 and engine-driven oil hydraulic pump 32, these other parameter for example is the oil temperature.
Although described enforcement best mode of the present invention, be familiar with those skilled in the relevant art of the present invention and will recognize, in the scope of appended claims, for realizing that the present invention can carry out various optional designs and mode of execution at this.
