Description

本発明は、コモンレールに燃料を圧送する燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を制御するポンプ制御装置およびそれを用いた燃料噴射システムに関する。   The present invention relates to a pump control device that controls a discharge amount of a fuel supply pump that pumps fuel to a common rail, and a fuel injection system using the pump control device.

燃料供給ポンプからコモンレールに燃料を圧送し、コモンレールに蓄圧した燃料を燃料噴射弁からディーゼルエンジンの各気筒内に噴射する燃料噴射システムが知られている(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。このような従来の燃料噴射システムにおいて、燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を調量する調量弁、ならびにコモンレールの燃料圧力を減圧する減圧弁への通電を電子制御装置(Electronic Control Unit;ECU)が制御することにより、エンジン運転状態に基づいて設定される目標圧力となるようにコモンレールの燃料圧力を制御することが公知である。   There is known a fuel injection system that pumps fuel from a fuel supply pump to a common rail and injects fuel accumulated in the common rail into each cylinder of a diesel engine from a fuel injection valve (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In such a conventional fuel injection system, the electronic control unit (ECU) controls the energization of the metering valve for metering the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump and the pressure reducing valve for reducing the fuel pressure of the common rail. By doing this, it is known to control the fuel pressure of the common rail so that the target pressure is set based on the engine operating state.

ECUは、例えばアイドル運転時等のエンジン運転状態において、調量弁への通電量に対する燃料供給ポンプの吐出量の吐出量特性を学習して補正し、補正した吐出量特性に基づき調量弁への通電を制御している。
特開平2001−182638号公報
The ECU learns and corrects the discharge amount characteristic of the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump with respect to the energization amount to the metering valve, for example, in an engine operation state such as during idling operation, and to the metering valve based on the corrected discharge amount characteristic. Is controlled.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-182638

しかしながら、燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を正確に検出することは困難であるため、前述したように吐出量特性の学習を行なうものの、実際の吐出量特性と学習した吐出量特性との間にずれが生じるという問題がある。   However, since it is difficult to accurately detect the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump, although the discharge amount characteristic is learned as described above, there is a difference between the actual discharge amount characteristic and the learned discharge amount characteristic. There is a problem that arises.

燃料供給ポンプの吐出量特性がずれた状態で燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を制御しても、圧力センサ等で検出するコモンレールの実際の燃料圧力と目標コモンレール圧との差をフィードバック制御して燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を制御し、コモンレールの燃料圧力を目標コモンレール圧に近づけることはできる。しかし、実際の吐出量特性と学習した吐出量特性とがずれていると、コモンレールの燃料圧力を目標コモンレール圧に近づけるときに燃料圧力が急激に変化し、オーバーシュートを生じることがある。また、コモンレールの圧力を目標コモンレール圧に近づけるときに燃料圧力が目標コモンレール圧に速やかに到達せず、燃料供給ポンプによるコモンレールの圧力制御の応答性が悪化するという問題がある。   Even if the discharge rate of the fuel supply pump is controlled when the discharge rate characteristics of the fuel supply pump are deviated, the fuel supply is performed by feedback control of the difference between the actual fuel pressure of the common rail detected by the pressure sensor and the target common rail pressure. The discharge amount of the pump can be controlled to bring the fuel pressure of the common rail close to the target common rail pressure. However, if the actual discharge amount characteristic deviates from the learned discharge amount characteristic, when the fuel pressure of the common rail is brought close to the target common rail pressure, the fuel pressure may change abruptly and an overshoot may occur. In addition, when the common rail pressure is brought close to the target common rail pressure, the fuel pressure does not quickly reach the target common rail pressure, and the responsiveness of the common rail pressure control by the fuel supply pump is deteriorated.

このように、コモンレールの燃料圧力が急激に変化したり、燃料供給ポンプによるコモンレールの圧力制御の応答性が悪化すると、適切な燃料圧力の燃料をコモンレールから燃料噴射弁に供給できないので、エンジン運転状態に応じた適切な燃料量を燃料噴射弁から噴射できない。その結果、ドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化等の問題が生じる。また、コモンレールの燃料圧力が急激に変化しオーバーシュートを起こすと、燃焼騒音が増大するとともに、燃料配管等の部品が損傷するおそれがある。   In this way, if the fuel pressure of the common rail changes suddenly or the responsiveness of the pressure control of the common rail by the fuel supply pump deteriorates, the fuel at the appropriate fuel pressure cannot be supplied from the common rail to the fuel injection valve. It is not possible to inject an appropriate amount of fuel from the fuel injection valve. As a result, problems such as deterioration of drivability and emission occur. Further, if the fuel pressure of the common rail changes suddenly and causes overshoot, combustion noise increases and parts such as fuel piping may be damaged.

本発明は、上記問題を解決するためになされたものであり、燃料供給ポンプの吐出量特性のずれを判定して適切な処理を実施できるポンプ制御装置およびそれを用いた燃料噴射システムを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and provides a pump control device capable of determining a deviation in the discharge amount characteristic of a fuel supply pump and performing appropriate processing, and a fuel injection system using the pump control device. For the purpose.

請求項1から6に記載の発明では、減圧弁の開弁を指示して燃料圧力が減圧したとき、燃料供給ポンプの調量部への通電を制御することにより、コモンレールの燃料圧力が減圧弁による減圧前の圧力に戻るまでに燃料供給ポンプが吐出したと吐出量特性に基づいて取得される吐出量と減圧弁の排出量とから吐出量特性のずれを判定する。   According to the first to sixth aspects of the invention, when the fuel pressure is reduced by instructing the opening of the pressure reducing valve, the fuel pressure of the common rail is controlled by controlling the energization to the metering unit of the fuel supply pump. When the fuel supply pump discharges before returning to the pressure before pressure reduction due to the above, a deviation in the discharge amount characteristic is determined from the discharge amount acquired based on the discharge amount characteristic and the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve.

減圧弁の排出量は、減圧弁への通電量に対する減圧弁の減圧量(排出量)の減圧特性から正確な値を取得できる。したがって、正確な減圧弁の排出量と燃料供給ポンプの吐出量とから吐出量特性のずれを判定し、吐出量特性のずれが大きい場合には、吐出量特性の補正、または燃料供給ポンプの保守、交換等の適切な処理を実施することができる。   As the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve, an accurate value can be obtained from the pressure reducing characteristic of the pressure reducing amount (discharge amount) of the pressure reducing valve with respect to the energization amount to the pressure reducing valve. Therefore, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic is determined from the accurate discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve and the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump. If the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic is large, the correction of the discharge amount characteristic or the maintenance of the fuel supply pump Appropriate processing such as exchange can be performed.

請求項2に記載の発明では、吐出量特性のずれに応じて吐出量特性を補正するので、吐出量特性のずれを極力小さくして燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を高精度に制御できる。
これにより、コモンレールの圧力を目標圧力に近づけるときにコモンレールの燃料圧力が急激に変化することを防止し、コモンレールの燃料圧力がオーバーシュートすることを防止できる。さらに、コモンレールの燃料圧力を急激過ぎない範囲で速やかに目標圧力に到達させることができるので、燃料供給ポンプによるコモンレールの圧力制御の応答性が向上する。
In the second aspect of the invention, since the discharge amount characteristic is corrected according to the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic can be minimized and the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump can be controlled with high accuracy.
Thereby, when the pressure of the common rail is brought close to the target pressure, the fuel pressure of the common rail can be prevented from changing suddenly, and the fuel pressure of the common rail can be prevented from overshooting. Furthermore, since the common rail fuel pressure can be quickly reached the target pressure within a range that is not too rapid, the response of the common rail pressure control by the fuel supply pump is improved.

その結果、ドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化を防止できる。また、コモンレールの燃料圧力のオーバーシュートを防止するので、燃料配管等の部品の損傷を防止できる。   As a result, drivability and emission can be prevented from deteriorating. Further, since overshoot of the fuel pressure of the common rail is prevented, damage to parts such as fuel piping can be prevented.

ところで、コモンレールの燃料圧力がコモンレールの目標圧力と大きくずれていたり、コモンレールの燃料圧力が大きく変動しているときには、燃料供給ポンプ以外にコモンレールの燃料圧力を変動させる外乱が生じていると考えられる。このような状態で減圧弁の排出量と、吐出量特性に基づいて取得される燃料供給ポンプの吐出量とから吐出量特性のずれを判定しても、吐出量特性のずれを正確に判定できない。   By the way, when the fuel pressure of the common rail is greatly deviated from the target pressure of the common rail, or when the fuel pressure of the common rail fluctuates greatly, it is considered that there is a disturbance that fluctuates the fuel pressure of the common rail other than the fuel supply pump. Even if the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic is determined from the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve and the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump acquired based on the discharge amount characteristic in such a state, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic cannot be accurately determined. .

そこで請求項3に記載の発明では、コモンレールの燃料圧力がコモンレールの目標圧力とほぼ等しい安定状態のときに減圧弁を開弁するので、減圧弁の排出量と吐出量特性に基づいて取得される燃料供給ポンプの吐出量とから吐出量特性のずれを正確に判定できる。   Therefore, in the invention according to claim 3, since the pressure reducing valve is opened when the fuel pressure of the common rail is in a stable state substantially equal to the target pressure of the common rail, it is acquired based on the discharge amount and discharge amount characteristics of the pressure reducing valve. The deviation of the discharge amount characteristic can be accurately determined from the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump.

請求項4に記載の発明では、減圧弁の最大排出量は燃料供給ポンプの最大吐出量以上である。したがって、減圧弁の排出量を変化させることにより、燃料供給ポンプの吐出量の全範囲において燃料供給ポンプの吐出量特性のずれを判定できる。   In the invention according to claim 4, the maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve is not less than the maximum discharge amount of the fuel supply pump. Therefore, by changing the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve, it is possible to determine the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the fuel supply pump in the entire range of the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump.

ここで、減圧弁の最大排出量および燃料供給ポンプの最大吐出量は、単位時間当たりの流量の最大値を表している。そして、減圧弁の排出量はコモンレールの燃料圧力および燃料温度等のエンジン運転状態によって変化し、燃料供給ポンプの吐出量は、エンジン回転数、燃料温度等のエンジン運転状態によって変化する。そこで、減圧弁の最大排出量および燃料供給ポンプの最大吐出量は、通常の規格内におけるエンジン運転状態において、減圧弁および燃料供給ポンプが作動するときの最大の排出量および吐出量を表すものとする。また、減圧弁の排出量は、減圧弁の開弁回数に関わりなく、単位時間に減圧弁が排出する排出量を表すものとする。   Here, the maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve and the maximum discharge amount of the fuel supply pump represent the maximum value of the flow rate per unit time. The discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve changes depending on the engine operating state such as the fuel pressure and fuel temperature of the common rail, and the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump changes depending on the engine operating state such as the engine speed and the fuel temperature. Therefore, the maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve and the maximum discharge amount of the fuel supply pump represent the maximum discharge amount and discharge amount when the pressure reducing valve and the fuel supply pump operate in the engine operating state within the normal specification. To do. The discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve represents the discharge amount discharged by the pressure reducing valve per unit time regardless of the number of opening times of the pressure reducing valve.

請求項5に記載の発明では、減圧弁に複数回の開弁を指示したときの燃料供給ポンプの吐出量と減圧弁の排出量の和とから吐出量特性のずれを判定する。
このように、減圧弁が複数回開弁してコモンレールの燃料圧力を減圧するので、例えば1回の開弁で減圧弁が排出する排出量と同等の排出量を複数回の開弁で排出する場合、コモンレールの燃料圧力の減圧量が小さくなる。これにより、吐出量特性のずれを判定するときに、ドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化を極力低減できる。
In the fifth aspect of the present invention, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic is determined from the sum of the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump and the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve when the pressure reducing valve is instructed to open multiple times.
In this way, the pressure reducing valve opens a plurality of times to reduce the fuel pressure of the common rail, so that, for example, a discharge amount equivalent to the discharge amount discharged by the pressure reducing valve by a single valve opening is discharged by a plurality of valve opening times. In this case, the amount of the common rail fuel pressure is reduced. Thereby, when determining the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic, it is possible to reduce the deterioration of drivability and emission as much as possible.

The functions of the plurality of means are not limited to those realized by hardware resources that are physically independent of each other.

以下、本発明の実施の形態を図に基づいて説明する。
(第1実施形態)
本発明の第1実施形態による燃料噴射システムを図1に示す。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
A fuel injection system according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

[燃料噴射システム10]
蓄圧式の燃料噴射システム10は、フィードポンプ14、高圧ポンプ16、コモンレール20、圧力センサ22、減圧弁24、燃料噴射弁30、ECU40、電子駆動装置(Electronic Driving Unit;EDU)42等から構成されており、4気筒のディーゼルエンジン50の各気筒に燃料を噴射する。
[Fuel injection system 10]
The accumulator fuel injection system 10 includes a feed pump 14, a high pressure pump 16, a common rail 20, a pressure sensor 22, a pressure reducing valve 24, a fuel injection valve 30, an ECU 40, an electronic driving unit (EDU) 42, and the like. The fuel is injected into each cylinder of the four-cylinder diesel engine 50.

フィードポンプ14は燃料タンク12から燃料を吸入し燃料供給ポンプである高圧ポンプ16に供給する。高圧ポンプ16は、カムシャフトのカムの回転にともないプランジャが往復移動することにより加圧室に吸入した燃料を加圧する公知のポンプである。ECU40が高圧ポンプ16の調量部としての調量弁18に供給する電流値を制御することにより、高圧ポンプ16が吸入行程で吸入する燃料吸入量が調量される。そして、燃料吸入量が調量されることにより、高圧ポンプ16の燃料吐出量が調量される。   The feed pump 14 sucks fuel from the fuel tank 12 and supplies it to a high-pressure pump 16 that is a fuel supply pump. The high-pressure pump 16 is a known pump that pressurizes the fuel sucked into the pressurizing chamber when the plunger reciprocates as the cam of the camshaft rotates. By controlling the current value supplied to the metering valve 18 as a metering unit of the high-pressure pump 16 by the ECU 40, the fuel suction amount sucked in the suction stroke by the high-pressure pump 16 is metered. Then, by adjusting the fuel intake amount, the fuel discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 is adjusted.

コモンレール20は、高圧ポンプ16が圧送する燃料を蓄圧しエンジン運転状態に応じた所定の高圧に燃料圧力を保持する。圧力検出手段としての圧力センサ22は、コモンレール20の内部の燃料圧力を検出しECU40に出力する。   The common rail 20 accumulates fuel pumped by the high-pressure pump 16 and holds the fuel pressure at a predetermined high pressure according to the engine operating state. The pressure sensor 22 as pressure detecting means detects the fuel pressure inside the common rail 20 and outputs it to the ECU 40.

減圧弁24は、開弁することによりコモンレール20の内部の燃料を低圧側のリターン通路100に排出する。減圧弁24は、例えば、スプリングの荷重を閉弁方向に弁部材に加え、コイル等の電磁駆動部に通電されることによりスプリングの荷重に抗して弁部材がリフトして開弁する公知の電磁弁である。減圧弁24の開弁時間は、減圧弁24に通電される通電パルスのパルス幅(通電時間)に応じて長くなる。   The pressure reducing valve 24 opens to discharge the fuel inside the common rail 20 to the return passage 100 on the low pressure side. The pressure reducing valve 24 is, for example, a known art in which a load of a spring is applied to a valve member in a valve closing direction, and an electromagnetic drive unit such as a coil is energized to lift and open the valve member against the spring load. It is a solenoid valve. The valve opening time of the pressure reducing valve 24 becomes longer according to the pulse width (energizing time) of the energization pulse energized to the pressure reducing valve 24.

また、減圧弁24の最大排出量は、調量弁18に供給する電流値を最大にしたときの高圧ポンプ16の最大吐出量以上である。減圧弁24の最大排出量および高圧ポンプ16の最大吐出量は、単位時間当たりの流量の最大値を表している。そして、減圧弁24の排出量はコモンレール20の燃料圧力および燃料温度等のエンジン運転状態によって変化し、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量は、エンジン回転数、燃料温度等のエンジン運転状態によって変化する。そこで、減圧弁24の最大排出量および高圧ポンプ16の最大吐出量は、通常の規格内におけるエンジン運転状態において、減圧弁24および高圧ポンプ16が作動するときの最大の排出量および吐出量を表すものとする。また、減圧弁24の排出量は、減圧弁24の開弁回数に関わりなく、単位時間に減圧弁24が排出した排出量を表すものとする。   The maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 is equal to or greater than the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 when the current value supplied to the metering valve 18 is maximized. The maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 and the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 represent the maximum value of the flow rate per unit time. The discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 changes depending on the engine operation state such as the fuel pressure and fuel temperature of the common rail 20, and the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 changes depending on the engine operation state such as the engine speed and fuel temperature. Therefore, the maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 and the maximum discharge amount of the high pressure pump 16 represent the maximum discharge amount and discharge amount when the pressure reducing valve 24 and the high pressure pump 16 operate in the engine operating state within the normal specification. Shall. The discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 represents the discharge amount discharged by the pressure reducing valve 24 per unit time regardless of the number of times the pressure reducing valve 24 is opened.

燃料噴射弁30は、4気筒のディーゼルエンジン50の各気筒に設置され、コモンレール20が蓄圧している燃料を気筒内に噴射する。燃料噴射弁30は、ノズルニードルに閉弁方向に燃料圧力を加える制御室の圧力を制御することにより燃料噴射量を制御する公知の電磁駆動式の弁である。   The fuel injection valve 30 is installed in each cylinder of the four-cylinder diesel engine 50, and injects the fuel accumulated in the common rail 20 into the cylinder. The fuel injection valve 30 is a known electromagnetically driven valve that controls the fuel injection amount by controlling the pressure in a control chamber that applies fuel pressure to the nozzle needle in the valve closing direction.

ポンプ制御装置としてのECU40は、CPU、ROM、RAM、フラッシュメモリ等の書換可能な不揮発性メモリを中心とするマイクロコンピュータ(マイコン)からなり、圧力取得手段、通電制御手段、吐出量取得手段、排出量取得手段、開閉指示手段、判定手段、吐出量補正手段として機能する。   The ECU 40 as a pump control device is composed of a microcomputer (microcomputer) centered on a rewritable nonvolatile memory such as a CPU, ROM, RAM, flash memory, etc., and includes a pressure acquisition means, an energization control means, a discharge amount acquisition means, and a discharge. It functions as an amount acquisition unit, an opening / closing instruction unit, a determination unit, and a discharge amount correction unit.

ECU40は、エンジン回転数(NE)を検出する回転数センサ、アクセルペダルの開度(ACC)を検出するアクセルセンサ、クランク角度(CA)を検出するクランク角度センサ、温度センサ、圧力センサ22等の各種センサの検出信号からディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態を取得する。ECU40は、ディーゼルエンジン50を最適な運転状態に制御するために、取得したエンジン運転状態に基づいて調量弁18、減圧弁24および燃料噴射弁30等への通電を制御する。   The ECU 40 includes a rotational speed sensor that detects an engine rotational speed (NE), an accelerator sensor that detects an opening degree (ACC) of an accelerator pedal, a crank angle sensor that detects a crank angle (CA), a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor 22, and the like. The operating state of the diesel engine 50 is acquired from detection signals of various sensors. The ECU 40 controls energization to the metering valve 18, the pressure reducing valve 24, the fuel injection valve 30 and the like based on the acquired engine operating state in order to control the diesel engine 50 to an optimal operating state.

ECU40は、エンジン運転状態に応じて、調量弁18への通電量に対する高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の吐出量特性をマップとしてフラッシュメモリに記憶している。ECU40は、フラッシュメモリに記憶している高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性に基づき、圧力センサ22から取得するコモンレール20の燃料圧力(以下、実コモンレール圧ともいう。)が目標コモンレール圧となるようにPID制御により調量弁18への通電をフィードバック制御している。また、ECU40は、吐出量特性に基づき、調量弁18への通電量に対して高圧ポンプ16が吐出する吐出量を取得できる。   The ECU 40 stores the discharge amount characteristic of the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 with respect to the energization amount to the metering valve 18 as a map in the flash memory according to the engine operating state. Based on the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 stored in the flash memory, the ECU 40 performs PID so that the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 acquired from the pressure sensor 22 (hereinafter also referred to as actual common rail pressure) becomes the target common rail pressure. The energization to the metering valve 18 is feedback controlled by the control. Further, the ECU 40 can acquire the discharge amount discharged by the high-pressure pump 16 with respect to the energization amount to the metering valve 18 based on the discharge amount characteristic.

また、ECU40は、減速運転等においてコモンレール20の燃料圧力を低下させるとき、高圧ポンプ16からの吐出量を減少するだけでは速やかにコモンレール20の圧力が減圧しない場合には、EDU42に減圧弁24の開弁を指示して減圧弁24を開弁し、コモンレール20の内部の燃料をリターン通路100に排出してコモンレール20の燃料圧力を低下させる。   Further, when the ECU 40 reduces the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 in a deceleration operation or the like, if the pressure of the common rail 20 is not quickly reduced only by reducing the discharge amount from the high-pressure pump 16, the ECU 40 sets the pressure reducing valve 24 to the EDU 42. The valve opening is instructed to open the pressure reducing valve 24, and the fuel inside the common rail 20 is discharged to the return passage 100 to reduce the fuel pressure in the common rail 20.

ECU40は、減圧弁24の開弁を指示する指示信号の通電時間の長さと、減圧弁24により減圧するコモンレール20の圧力との関係を示す減圧特性をフラッシュメモリにマップとして記憶している。減圧弁24がコモンレール20の燃料圧力を減圧する減圧量は、減圧弁24がコモンレール20の燃料をリターン通路100に排出する排出量により決定される。したがって、ECU40は、減圧特性のマップに基づき、減圧弁24への通電時間の長さから減圧弁24による燃料排出量を取得できる。EDU42は、減圧弁24、燃料噴射弁30に駆動電流または駆動電圧を供給するための駆動装置である。   The ECU 40 stores a decompression characteristic indicating a relationship between the length of the energization time of the instruction signal instructing opening of the decompression valve 24 and the pressure of the common rail 20 decompressed by the decompression valve 24 as a map in the flash memory. The amount of pressure reduction by which the pressure reducing valve 24 reduces the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 is determined by the amount of discharge by which the pressure reducing valve 24 discharges the fuel of the common rail 20 to the return passage 100. Therefore, the ECU 40 can acquire the fuel discharge amount by the pressure reducing valve 24 from the length of the energization time to the pressure reducing valve 24 based on the pressure reducing characteristic map. The EDU 42 is a drive device for supplying drive current or drive voltage to the pressure reducing valve 24 and the fuel injection valve 30.

[高圧ポンプ16の制御]
次に、高圧ポンプ16の制御について説明する。図2は、所定のクランク角度ごとにECU40が実施する高圧ポンプ16の制御ルーチンであり、符号のSはステップを表している。クランク角度信号は、ディーゼルエンジン50のクランク軸(図示せず)が一定角度回転するごとにクランク角度センサからパルスとして出力される。本ルーチンにおける減圧弁24の開閉駆動は、実コモンレール圧を目標コモンレール圧に近づけるために実施する通常の開閉制御ではなく、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを判定し補正するために強制的に実施する開閉制御である。
[Control of high-pressure pump 16]
Next, control of the high pressure pump 16 will be described. FIG. 2 is a control routine of the high-pressure pump 16 that is executed by the ECU 40 at every predetermined crank angle, where S denotes a step. The crank angle signal is output as a pulse from the crank angle sensor every time a crankshaft (not shown) of the diesel engine 50 rotates by a certain angle. The opening / closing drive of the pressure reducing valve 24 in this routine is not a normal opening / closing control performed in order to bring the actual common rail pressure close to the target common rail pressure, but is forced to determine and correct a deviation in the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16. This is the opening / closing control to be performed.

ECU40は、図2の制御ルーチンを実施する前に、図3に示すように、フラッシュメモリにマップとして記憶している減圧弁24の減圧特性200を、減圧弁24への通電時間に対する実際の減圧量の減圧特性202に補正しておく。ECU40は、減圧弁24への通電時間に対して圧力センサ22が検出するコモンレール20の燃料圧力の変化から容易に減圧特性200を補正できる。減圧弁24の減圧特性200を補正しておくことにより、本ルーチンで減圧弁24を開弁したときに、減圧弁24によりコモンレール20から排出される燃料の正確な排出量を、マップとして記憶している減圧特性200に基づき通電時間から取得できる。   Before executing the control routine of FIG. 2, the ECU 40 performs the actual decompression with respect to the energization time of the decompression valve 24, as shown in FIG. 3, with the decompression characteristic 200 of the decompression valve 24 stored as a map in the flash memory. The amount is corrected to the decompression characteristic 202 of the amount. The ECU 40 can easily correct the pressure reduction characteristic 200 from the change in the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 detected by the pressure sensor 22 with respect to the energization time to the pressure reducing valve 24. By correcting the pressure reducing characteristic 200 of the pressure reducing valve 24, the exact amount of fuel discharged from the common rail 20 by the pressure reducing valve 24 when the pressure reducing valve 24 is opened in this routine is stored as a map. It can be acquired from the energization time based on the decompression characteristic 200.

以上の前提のもとに実行される図2の制御ルーチンにおいてECU40は、まずS300において、ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定しているかを判定する。ECU40は、例えば実コモンレール圧と目標モンレール圧との差圧ΔPが所定値よりも小さいかを判定することにより、ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定しているかを判定する。ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定していない場合、ECU40は本ルーチンを終了する。   In the control routine of FIG. 2 executed based on the above premise, the ECU 40 first determines in S300 whether the operating state of the diesel engine 50 is stable. The ECU 40 determines whether the operation state of the diesel engine 50 is stable, for example, by determining whether the differential pressure ΔP between the actual common rail pressure and the target monrail pressure is smaller than a predetermined value. When the operation state of the diesel engine 50 is not stable, the ECU 40 ends this routine.

これは、ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定せず実コモンレール圧と目標コモンレール圧との差圧ΔPが所定値以上である場合、高圧ポンプ16以外に実コモンレール圧を変動させる外乱があるために高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを正確に判定できないからである。   This is because when the operation state of the diesel engine 50 is not stable and the differential pressure ΔP between the actual common rail pressure and the target common rail pressure is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, there is a disturbance other than the high pressure pump 16 that causes the actual common rail pressure to fluctuate. This is because the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the pump 16 cannot be accurately determined.

一方、ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定し実コモンレール圧と目標コモンレール圧との差圧ΔPが所定値より小さい場合は、高圧ポンプ16以外に実コモンレール圧を変動させる外乱がないか、その影響が小さいために、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを正確に判定できる。   On the other hand, when the operation state of the diesel engine 50 is stable and the differential pressure ΔP between the actual common rail pressure and the target common rail pressure is smaller than a predetermined value, there is a disturbance other than the high pressure pump 16 that causes the actual common rail pressure to fluctuate or the influence thereof. Since it is small, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 can be accurately determined.

ディーゼルエンジン50の運転状態が安定している場合、S302においてECU40は、減圧弁24を強制的に開弁できるかを判定する。これは、例えばアイドル運転時等のコモンレール20の燃料圧力が低圧のエンジン運転状態においては、減圧弁24を強制的に開弁するとドライバビリティおよびエミッションが悪化するおそれがあるからである。一方、例えば一定速度で高速運転している場合等のコモンレール20の燃料圧力が高圧のエンジン運転状態においては、減圧弁24を強制的に開閉駆動してもドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化を極力低減できる。   When the operation state of the diesel engine 50 is stable, the ECU 40 determines in S302 whether the pressure reducing valve 24 can be forcibly opened. This is because, for example, in an engine operating state where the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 is low, such as during idle operation, forcibly opening the pressure reducing valve 24 may deteriorate drivability and emissions. On the other hand, for example, when the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 is high and the engine is operating at a high speed at a constant speed, the deterioration of drivability and emissions can be reduced as much as possible even if the pressure reducing valve 24 is forcibly opened and closed. .

減圧弁24を強制的に開弁できる場合、S304においてECU40は、今回減圧弁24に通電する通電時間、言い換えれば減圧特性のマップから通電時間に基いて取得する減圧弁24からの排出量Qd[n]を設定する。ECU40は、ドライバビィティまたはエミッションの悪化を極力低減する範囲でエンジン運転状態に応じて排出量Qd[n]を設定する。   If the pressure reducing valve 24 can be forcibly opened, in step S304, the ECU 40 determines the discharge amount Qd [ n]. The ECU 40 sets the emission amount Qd [n] in accordance with the engine operating state within a range in which deterioration of driver duty or emission is reduced as much as possible.

S306においてECU40は、吐出量特性のマップに基づいて、減圧弁24でコモンレール20の燃料圧力を減圧する前のPID制御における積分項のポンプ制御量Qm[n−1](図4参照)を制御履歴として記憶しているRAM等から取得する。ポンプ制御量Qmは、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の積分値とみなすことができる。図4において、実線が示すポンプ制御量は高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のマップに基づいてECU40が取得したポンプ制御量であり、点線が示すポンプ制御量は高圧ポンプ16が実際に吐出した結果得られるポンプ制御量である。   In S306, the ECU 40 controls the pump control amount Qm [n−1] (see FIG. 4) of the integral term in the PID control before the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 is reduced by the pressure reducing valve 24 based on the map of the discharge amount characteristic. Acquired from a RAM or the like stored as a history. The pump control amount Qm can be regarded as an integrated value of the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16. In FIG. 4, the pump control amount indicated by the solid line is the pump control amount acquired by the ECU 40 based on the map of the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16, and the pump control amount indicated by the dotted line is obtained as a result of the actual discharge by the high-pressure pump 16. Pump control amount.

S308においてECU40は、EDU42に減圧弁24の開弁信号を送出して減圧弁24を駆動させ、S304において設定した排出量Qd[n]を排出しコモンレール20の燃料圧力を所定圧まで減圧する。減圧弁24を駆動して所定時間開弁させると、EDU42は減圧弁24への通電をオフし減圧弁24を閉弁する。   In S308, the ECU 40 sends an opening signal of the pressure reducing valve 24 to the EDU 42 to drive the pressure reducing valve 24, discharges the discharge amount Qd [n] set in S304, and reduces the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 to a predetermined pressure. When the pressure reducing valve 24 is driven and opened for a predetermined time, the EDU 42 turns off the power supply to the pressure reducing valve 24 and closes the pressure reducing valve 24.

減圧弁24が開弁し実コモンレール圧が所定圧まで減圧すると、S310においてCU40は、目標コモンレール圧を減圧弁24が減圧する前の圧力に設定する。そして、実コモンレール圧と目標コモンレール圧との差圧の絶対値が所定値よりも小さくなるまで、高圧ポンプ16をPID制御して実コモンレールを目標コモンレール圧に近づける(S312参照)。   When the pressure reducing valve 24 is opened and the actual common rail pressure is reduced to a predetermined pressure, the CU 40 sets the target common rail pressure to a pressure before the pressure reducing valve 24 reduces the pressure in S310. Then, until the absolute value of the differential pressure between the actual common rail pressure and the target common rail pressure becomes smaller than a predetermined value, the high pressure pump 16 is PID controlled to bring the actual common rail closer to the target common rail pressure (see S312).

実コモンレール圧と目標コモンレール圧との差圧の絶対値が所定値よりも小さくなると、S314においてECU40は、このときの高圧ポンプ16の制御量Qm[n]を取得する(図4参照)。そして、S316においてECU40は、次式(1)から、高圧ポンプ16の制御量偏差dQm[n]を算出する。高圧ポンプ16の制御量偏差dQm[n]は、吐出量の偏差とみなすことができる。   When the absolute value of the differential pressure between the actual common rail pressure and the target common rail pressure becomes smaller than a predetermined value, in S314, the ECU 40 obtains the control amount Qm [n] of the high pressure pump 16 at this time (see FIG. 4). In S316, the ECU 40 calculates the control amount deviation dQm [n] of the high-pressure pump 16 from the following equation (1). The control amount deviation dQm [n] of the high-pressure pump 16 can be regarded as a discharge amount deviation.

dQm[n]=Qm[n]−Qm[n−1] ・・・(1)
S318においてECU40は、制御量偏差dQm[n]とS304において設定した排出量Qd[n]との偏差の絶対値が所定値以上か否かを判定する。制御量偏差dQm[n]と排出量Qd[n]との偏差の絶対値が所定値以上であれば高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれが大きいと判断し、次のS320においてECU40は、dQm[n]と排出量Qd[n]との偏差(dQm[n]−Qd[n])を学習値として算出する。
dQm [n] = Qm [n] −Qm [n−1] (1)
In S318, the ECU 40 determines whether or not the absolute value of the deviation between the control amount deviation dQm [n] and the discharge amount Qd [n] set in S304 is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. If the absolute value of the deviation between the control amount deviation dQm [n] and the discharge amount Qd [n] is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, it is determined that the displacement of the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 is large. A deviation (dQm [n] −Qd [n]) between [n] and the discharge amount Qd [n] is calculated as a learning value.

(dQm[n]−Qd[n])の値が正であれば、減圧弁24で強制的に減圧したコモンレール20の燃料圧力を減圧前の圧力に戻すために吐出量特性のマップに基づいて調量弁18への通電を制御した結果、取得した高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の増加分が減圧弁24の排出量よりも大きかったことがわかる。一方、(dQm[n]−Qd[n])の値が負であれば、吐出量特性のマップに基づいて調量弁18への通電を制御して取得した高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の増加分が減圧弁24の排出量よりも小さかったことがわかる。   If the value of (dQm [n] −Qd [n]) is positive, based on the map of the discharge amount characteristic in order to return the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 forcibly reduced by the pressure reducing valve 24 to the pressure before the pressure reduction. As a result of controlling the energization to the metering valve 18, it can be seen that the obtained increase in the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 was larger than the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24. On the other hand, if the value of (dQm [n] −Qd [n]) is negative, the increase in the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 obtained by controlling the energization to the metering valve 18 based on the map of the discharge amount characteristic. It can be seen that the minute was smaller than the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24.

そして次のS322においてECU40は、算出した学習値(dQm[n]−Qd[n])に応じてフラッシュメモリに記憶している吐出量特性のマップを更新して補正し、高圧ポンプ16の調量弁18への通電制御に学習値(dQm[n]−Qd[n])を反映させて本ルーチンを終了する。   In the next S322, the ECU 40 updates and corrects the map of the discharge amount characteristic stored in the flash memory according to the calculated learned value (dQm [n] −Qd [n]), and adjusts the high pressure pump 16. The learning value (dQm [n] -Qd [n]) is reflected in the energization control to the quantity valve 18, and this routine is terminated.

S318において制御量偏差dQm[n]と排出量Qd[n]との偏差の絶対値が所定値よりも小さい場合には、ECU40は高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれが小さいと判断し本ルーチンを終了する。   When the absolute value of the deviation between the control amount deviation dQm [n] and the discharge amount Qd [n] is smaller than a predetermined value in S318, the ECU 40 determines that the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 is small, and this routine. Exit.

本実施形態では、減圧弁24で強制的に減圧したときの排出量Qdと、吐出量特性に基づいて高圧ポンプ16の調量弁18を通電制御したときの高圧ポンプ16の制御量の偏差dQm、言い換えると高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の偏差との収支に基づいて、吐出量特性のずれを判定している。これにより、吐出量特性のずれに応じて適切な処理を行うことができる。   In this embodiment, the deviation dQm between the discharge amount Qd when the pressure reducing valve 24 is forcibly depressurized and the control amount of the high pressure pump 16 when the metering valve 18 of the high pressure pump 16 is energized based on the discharge amount characteristic. In other words, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic is determined based on the balance with the deviation of the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16. Thereby, an appropriate process can be performed according to the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic.

さらに本実施形態では、吐出量特性のずれに応じて吐出量特性を補正することにより、補正した吐出量特性に基づいて実コモンレール圧を目標コモンレール圧に近づけることができる。   Further, in the present embodiment, by correcting the discharge amount characteristic according to the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic, the actual common rail pressure can be brought close to the target common rail pressure based on the corrected discharge amount characteristic.

これにより、吐出量特性のずれを極力小さくして燃料供給ポンプの吐出量を高精度に制御できる。その結果、実コモンレール圧を目標コモンレール圧に近づけるときに実コモンレール圧が急激に変化することを防止し、実コモンレール圧がオーバーシュートすることを防止できる。また、実コモンレール圧が急激過ぎない範囲で速やかに目標コモンレール圧に到達するので、高圧ポンプ16によるコモンレール20の圧力制御の応答性が向上する。その結果、ドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化を防止できる。また、実コモンレール圧のオーバーシュートを防止するので、燃料配管等の部品の損傷を防止できる。   Thereby, the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic can be minimized and the discharge amount of the fuel supply pump can be controlled with high accuracy. As a result, when the actual common rail pressure is brought close to the target common rail pressure, the actual common rail pressure can be prevented from changing suddenly, and the actual common rail pressure can be prevented from overshooting. Further, since the target common rail pressure is quickly reached within a range where the actual common rail pressure is not too rapid, the responsiveness of the pressure control of the common rail 20 by the high pressure pump 16 is improved. As a result, drivability and emission can be prevented from deteriorating. Further, since overshoot of the actual common rail pressure is prevented, damage to parts such as fuel piping can be prevented.

また、本実施形態では、減圧弁24の単位時間当たりの最大排出量が高圧ポンプ16の単位時間当たりの最大吐出量以上であるから、図2の制御ルーチンを実施して高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを補正する1回の補正制御において、エンジン運転状態に応じて減圧弁24の排出量を変化させることにより、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の全範囲において高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを判定できる。   In the present embodiment, since the maximum discharge amount per unit time of the pressure reducing valve 24 is equal to or greater than the maximum discharge amount per unit time of the high pressure pump 16, the control routine of FIG. In one correction control for correcting the characteristic deviation, the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 is changed over the entire range of the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16 by changing the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 according to the engine operating state. Can be determined.

(第2実施形態)
図5に、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性を補正する他の制御を示す。
第2実施形態では、減圧弁24に複数回通電して減圧したコモンレール20の燃料圧力を、吐出量特性に基づいて高圧ポンプ16の調量弁18への通電を制御して減圧前の圧力に戻している。
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 5 shows another control for correcting the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16.
In the second embodiment, the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 that has been depressurized by energizing the depressurization valve 24 a plurality of times is controlled to the pressure before depressurization by controlling the energization of the metering valve 18 of the high-pressure pump 16 based on the discharge amount characteristics. It is returning.

このように、減圧弁24に複数回通電することにより減圧弁24が複数回開弁してコモンレール20の燃料圧力を減圧するので、1回の開弁で減圧弁24が排出する排出量と同等の排出量を複数回の開弁で排出する場合、コモンレール20の燃料圧力の減圧量が小さくなる。これにより、吐出量特性のずれを判定するときに、ドライバビリティおよびエミッションの悪化を極力低減できる。   In this way, when the pressure reducing valve 24 is energized a plurality of times, the pressure reducing valve 24 is opened a plurality of times to reduce the fuel pressure of the common rail 20, so that the discharge amount discharged by the pressure reducing valve 24 by one opening is the same. Is discharged by opening the valve a plurality of times, the pressure reduction amount of the fuel pressure of the common rail 20 is reduced. Thereby, when determining the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic, it is possible to reduce the deterioration of drivability and emission as much as possible.

また、第2実施形態のように減圧弁24を複数回開弁する場合にも、図2の制御ルーチンを実施して高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを補正する1回の補正制御において、複数回開弁する減圧弁24の単位時間当たりの最大排出量が高圧ポンプ16の最大吐出量以上であれば、エンジン運転状態に応じて減圧弁24の排出量および開弁回数を変化させることにより、高圧ポンプ16の吐出量の全範囲において高圧ポンプ16の吐出量特性のずれを判定できる。   Further, even when the pressure reducing valve 24 is opened a plurality of times as in the second embodiment, in the one-time correction control in which the control routine of FIG. If the maximum discharge amount per unit time of the pressure reducing valve 24 opened multiple times is equal to or greater than the maximum discharge amount of the high pressure pump 16, the discharge amount and the number of times of opening of the pressure reducing valve 24 are changed according to the engine operating state. The deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the high-pressure pump 16 can be determined in the entire range of the discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, the pressure reduction amount of the pressure reduction valve 24 was variably set according to the engine operating state. On the other hand, the pressure reduction amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 may be a constant value.
In the above embodiment, the maximum discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve 24 is set to be equal to or greater than the maximum discharge amount of the high-pressure pump 16. On the other hand, a pressure reducing valve having a maximum discharge amount smaller than the maximum discharge amount of the high pressure pump 16 may be used, and the deviation of the discharge amount characteristic of the high pressure pump 16 may be determined within the range of the discharge amount of the pressure reducing valve.
