Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a position controller useful in, for example, an intake throttle device for an engine of the type in which a throttle valve for opening and closing an intake passage is driven by a step motor.
  • Fig. 1 is a front section view of the device
  • Fig. 2 is a left-side view.
  • the body 1 which is to be incorporated into an air intake system of a diesel engine has a substantially cylindrical shape.
  • An intake passage 2 is formed in the body.
  • Bosses 1a and 1b are formed on the side walls of the body 1, respectively.
  • a throttle shaft 3 is rotatably supported on the side walls via bearings fitted into the bosses 1a and 1b.
  • a throttle valve 4 which opens and closes the intake passage 2 is attached to the throttle shaft 3. As shown in Fig. 3, during a normal running state, the throttle valve 4 is opened and closed between the full-open position and the idling position, and, when the engine is to be stopped, set to be the full-close position where the closed state is further advanced than the idling position.
  • a diesel engine is not particularly required to have an ignition device, and, when the engine once starts, continues to spontaneously operate. In order to surely stop the engine, therefor, it is preferable to interrupt both the fuel and the air. Consequently, when the engine is to be stopped, the throttle valve 4 is fully closed.
  • a lever 10 having an engaging piece 10a and an attachment piece 10b is fixed to a left end portion of the throttle shaft 3.
  • a spring 11 is disposed between the engaging piece 10a and the body 1. The spring urges the lever 10 in the full-opening direction (in Fig. 2, in a counterclockwise direction) with respect to the body 1.
  • Two attachment projections 12 and 13 are formed on the lift side face of the body 1, and respectively in front and in rear of the engaging piece 10a of the lever 10.
  • a full-opening stopper 14 is disposed on the front attachment projection 12, and a full-closing stopper 15 on the rear attachment projection 13.
  • the full-opening stopper 14 abuts against the engaging piece 10a of the lever 10 which is indicated by a solid line in Fig. 2, so that the throttle valve 4 is stopped at a valve-opening limiting position (see the position indicated by a broken line in Fig. 2), thereby preventing the lever 10 from being further rotated in the valve-opening direction.
  • the full-closing stopper 15 abuts against the engaging piece 10a of the lever 10 (see the position indicated by a solid line in Fig. 2), so that the throttle valve 4 is stopped at a valve-closing limiting position, thereby preventing the lever 10 from being further rotated in the valve-closing direction (in Fig. 2, in a clockwise direction).
  • the position where the stopper abuts against the engaging piece 10a can be adjusted by means of a screw.
  • a switch pressing member 16 is attached to a tip end portion of the attachment piece 10b of the lever 10.
  • a full-opening switch 17 for detecting that the throttle valve 4 is at the full-opening position is attached to the left side face of the body 1.
  • the full-opening switch 17 supplies a full-opening position detection signal to a control device (hereinafter, referred to as "ECU") 40.
  • the signal is turned ON or OFF when a detection end 17a of the full-opening switch is pressed by or released from the switch pressing member 16 in accordance with the opening or closing operation of the throttle valve 4 in the vicinity of the full-opening position.
  • the position where the member abuts against the detection end 17a of the full-opening switch 17 can be adjusted by means of a screw.
  • Fig. 5 shows relationships between the output signal of the full-opening switch 17 and the throttle opening of the throttle valve 4.
  • the full-opening switch 17 is turned ON at a certain opening.
  • the full-opening switch 17 is turned OFF at an opening where the throttle valve 4 is further closed by a certain degree from the opening where the full-opening switch 17 is turned ON. This is because the full-opening switch 17 has hysteresis.
  • the degree of the hysteresis of the full-opening switch 17 varies depending on individuals and over time. Therefore, the judgment on the switch output must be unifiedly performed in either of the transition from OFF to ON or that of from ON to OFF.
  • the valve-closing limiting position of the throttle valve 4 and formed by the full-opening stopper 14 is set to a position where the dispersion of the ON-position of the full-opening switch 17 is absorbed.
  • the driving force of a step motor 20 serving as a driving device which drives the throttle valve 4 is coupled to the right end portion of the throttle shaft 3 via a power transmission device 21.
  • the step motor 20 is controlled by the ECU 40.
  • the power transmission device 21 consists of a second spring 22 which urges the throttle shaft 3 in the valve-closing direction with respect to the body 1, gears, etc.
  • the urging force of the second spring 22 is set to be stronger than that of the first spring 11 and smaller than the rotation torque due to the driving of the step motor 20.
  • the urging force of the first spring 11 is set to be weaker than the stopping torque due to the detent torque of the step motor 20.
  • EGR valve 30 of an EGR control device which controls the exhaust gas recirculation (hereinafter, referred to as "EGR") is incorporated into the downstream side of the throttle valve 4 of the body 1.
  • the EGR valve 30 comprises a valve element 33 which opens and closes a valve seat 32 disposed in an end portion of an EGR gas passage 31 communicating with the intake passage 2.
  • the valve is configured so that, when a negative pressure introduced into a negative pressure chamber 35 partitioned off by a diaphragm 34 is weaker than the urging force of a diaphragm spring 36, the valve element 33 is closed, and, when the negative pressure is stronger than the urging force, the valve element 33 is opened.
  • the negative pressure chamber 35 is caused to communicate with the atmosphere or a negative pressure source by the switching operation of a negative pressure control valve 37 which is controlled by the ECU 40.
  • the EGR gas passage 31 communicates with the intake passage 2
  • the EGR gas flows into the intake passage 2 and then supplied in the form of a fuel-air mixture to the engine.
  • the throttle valve 4 is closed so that the pressure of the fresh air flowing through the intake passage 2 is lowered.
  • Fig. 4 is a block diagram of the ECU 40.
  • the ECU 40 comprises a CPU 44 to which the full-opening position detection signal is supplied from the full-opening switch 17 via an I/O interface 41, and to which an output signal from an accelerator sensor 19 for detecting the stepping amount of the accelerator is supplied via an I/O interface 42 and an A/D converter 43.
  • a part of a RAM 47 is used as a motor counter 45 which indicates the current position of the step motor 20, in the form of a counted number (step number).
  • the CPU 44 converts the opening degree of the throttle valve 4 which corresponds to the output signal of the accelerator sensor 19, into the counted number of the motor counter 45, and supplies driving pulses to the step motor 20 via a driving circuit 48 so that the counted number of the motor counter 45 coincides with the converted counted number. At this time, the counted number of the motor counter 45 is increased or decreased in accordance with the rotation direction of the step motor 20 and the number of supplied driving pulses.
  • the opening degree of the throttle valve 4 and the counted number may sometimes fail to coincide with each other.
  • a process of initializing the motor counter 45 is performed (this is also called initialization).
  • the step motor 20 is controlled so as to move the throttle valve 4 in the opening direction and it is detected by means of the full-opening switch 17 that the throttle valve 4 is located at the full-opening position, for example, the counted number of the motor counter 45 is initialized to zero. Specifically, the throttle valve 4 is moved in the opening direction until the full-opening switch 17 is turned ON, and the initializing process is performed with using the position where the full-opening switch 17 is turned ON, as the reference position.
  • the counted number of the motor counter 45 indicates the step number from the full-opening position of the throttle valve 4.
  • the full-opening switch 17 In order to initialize the motor counter 45 at the full-opening position, the full-opening switch 17 must be adjusted during, for example, a step of incorporating the switch into the throttle body.
  • a conventional method of adjusting the full-opening switch 17 will be described with reference to a flowchart of Fig. 14 which shows the process of adjusting the full-opening switch. It is assumed that the switch is adjusted so that the state of the switch is changed from OFF to ON when the step is advanced from 67th step counted from the idling position to 68th step as shown in Fig. 15.
  • An adjustment step number is used only in adjustment, and means a value which is zero, for example, at the idling position and increased when the throttle valve is moved in the opening direction. The adjustment step number is different from the step number in an actual control.
  • step motor 20 is controlled and the throttle valve 4 is moved to the idling position (step 201). Thereafter, the adjustment step number is set to zero (step 202).
  • the throttle valve 4 is opened to the position which precedes the ON-position of the full-opening switch 17 by one step, or to, for example, the position at 67 steps from the idling position in the opening direction (step 203).
  • the full-opening switch 17 is ON, the full-opening switch 17 is adjusted so as to be turned OFF, by using the screw disposed on the switch pressing member 16 (step 205).

  • the throttle valve 4 is opened to the ON-position of the full-opening switch 17, or to, in this example, the position at 68 steps from the idling position in the opening direction (step 206).
  • the full-opening switch 17 is adjusted so as to be turned ON, by using the screw disposed on the switch pressing member 16 (step 208). Thereafter, the throttle valve is once closed to a position where the full-opening switch 17 is surely turned OFF irrespective of the hysteresis, or to, for example, a position in the vicinity of the 60th step (step 209), and !he control returns to step 203 to repeat the process described above.
  • the switch pressing member 16 is adjusted so that the state of the full-opening switch 17 is changed from OFF to ON when the throttle valve 4 is moved from the position where the valve is moved by 67 steps from the idling position, to the position where the valve is moved by 68 steps.

  • the reference position detection device is adjusted while the step motor is driven by a minute angle or by a step moving amount which is smaller than that in normal driving. Therefore, the occurrence frequency of displacement of the detection of the reference position due to deterioration or wear of parts or the like can be suppressed to a minimum degree, thereby preventing the control performance from being lowered.
  • control device drives the step motor by a minute angle in a minute range which is at a substantially center portion of a movement range of the apparatus where the reference position detection device outputs the reference position detection signal during normal driving.
  • the reference position detection device is adjusted while the step motor is driven by a minute angle in a minute range which is at a substantially center portion of a movement range of the apparatus where the reference position detection device outputs the reference position detection signal during normal driving. Therefore, the occurrence frequency of displacement of the detection of the reference position due to deterioration or wear of parts or the like can be further suppressed to a minimum degree.

  • the reference position detection device is adjusted while the step motor is driven by a minute angle or by a step moving amount which is smaller than that in normal driving. Therefore, the occurrence frequency of displacement of the detection of the reference position due to deterioration or wear of parts or the like can be suppressed to a minimum degree, thereby preventing the control performance from being lowered.
