Definitions
- the present invention relates to an engine controller having a loss torque learning function for learning a loss torque characteristics of an engine.
- JP-2008-215182A shows an engine controller which controls the engine in such a manner that the engine is stopped at a specified crank angle when an engine stop requirement is generated.
- the engine controller computes a target track by means of a learning value of a loss torque characteristic.
- the target track indicates an engine rotation behavior until the engine stops at a target stop crank angle.
- the engine controller controls a load of a component driven by the engine in such a manner that the actual engine rotation behavior agrees with the target track.
- the engine controller learns a loss torque characteristic of the engine based on at least actual engine rotation behavior.
- a dispersion in the engine rotation behavior can be compensated enough and the engine stop crank angle can be controlled with high accuracy.
- the present invention is made in view of the above matters, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an engine controller which can enhance a learning accuracy with respect to a loss torque characteristic of an engine.
- An engine controller includes a memory means for storing a loss torque characteristic of an engine as a learning value, and a loss torque learning means for updating the learning value based on a loss torque characteristic which is computed based on an actual engine rotation behavior.
- the loss torque learning means includes a first learning means for updating the learning value based on the learning value stored in the memory means and a presently computed loss torque characteristic, a second learning means for updating the learning value based on the presently computed loss torque characteristic without using the learning value stored in the memory means and a switching means for switching between the first learning means and the second learning means in order to update the learning value.
- the first learning means can obtain a reliable learning value without receiving any influence of temporal variation in the loss torque characteristic.
- the second learning means can promptly obtain the learning value according to a present actual loss torque characteristic.
- the first learning means and the second learning means are properly switched to update the learning value.
- the loss torque characteristic learning can be performed in both cases where the learning value is needed to be gradually updated in view of an improvement of the reliability and where the learning value is needed to be updated based on the actual loss torque characteristic in view of an improvement of the convergence.
- the loss torque characteristic learning can be performed suitably.
- an update amount of the learning value by the first learning means is restricted by the learning value stored in the memory, and an update amount of the learning value by the second learning means is not restricted by the stored learning value. Therefore, the learning value by the second learning means is promptly converged to the proper learning value with respect to the actual loss torque characteristic.

In this case, the consumed energy due to the loss torque is accurately computed and the loss torque characteristic is accurately learned based on the consumed energy.

Further, when the actual engine speed is brought to coincide with the target engine speed on the target track, two target tracks which deviates 180°CA from each other are established. One of the target tracks is selected, and the target engine speed is computed based on the selected target track. An energy necessary for correcting the actual engine speed to the target engine speed on the selected target track is smaller than that on the other target track.

- step S308 the required load torque Talt is multiplied by a pulley ratio "Ratio", so that the required load torque Talt is converted into the required shaft torque Tfinal of the alternator 39.
- Tfinal Talt ⁇ ⁇ Ratio ⁇
- step S309 the engine speed Ne is multiplied by the pulley ratio "Ratio" to obtain the alternator rotation speed Nalt.
- Nalt Ne ⁇ ⁇ Ratio ⁇
- step S310 a battery voltage is detected.
- an exciting current "IF” is computed based on the required shaft torque Tfinal , an alternator speed Nalt , and the battery voltage. Specifically, a required load torque characteristic map corresponding to the present battery voltage is selected, the exciting current "IF” is computed based on this selected map. The exciting current "IF” is converted into a generating current (duty ratio "Duty”), and the load torque of the alternator 39 is controlled based on the duty ratio "Duty".
- the lost torque characteristic is learned and updated based on the actual engine rotation behavior in order to be stored in the backup RAM 41.
- the dispersion in the loss torque characteristic is compensated by learning and a computation accuracy of the target track can be improved.
- the load torque of the alternator 39 is controlled in such a manner that the actual engine rotation behavior agrees with the target track when the engine 10 will be stopped.
- the dispersion in the actual engine rotation behavior can be compensated and the engine stop position can be controlled within the target crank angle range with high accuracy.
- the first learning means updates the learning value based on the stored learning value ( Tloss ) and the presently computed loss torque characteristic.
- the second learning means updates the learning value based on the presently computed loss torque characteristic.
- the loss torque characteristic learning process it is suitably switched between the first learning means and the second learning means.
- the second learning means updates the learning value based on the presently computed actual loss torque Tlossg without using the loss torque Tloss when a ratio between the loss torque Tloss and the temporal learning correction torque Tgg is greater than a specified determination value.
- the learning value can converge promptly.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but may be performed, for example, in the following manner.
- An ECU (40) includes a backup RAM (41) which stores a learning value of a loss torque characteristic of an engine (10). The learning value is updated based on the loss torque characteristic which is computed based on an actual engine rotation behavior.
- the ECU (40) includes a first learning portion (S109) for updating the learning value based on the learning value stored in the memory and a presently computed loss torque characteristic, and a second learning portion (S112) for updating the learning value based on the presently computed loss torque characteristic without using the learning value stored in the memory.
- a switching portion (S107) switches between the first learning portion and the second learning portion in order to update the learning value.
