ングロスを低減するようにしている。That is, a rotary valve is interposed in the intake passage upstream of the intake valve, and the rotary valve is opened in synchronization with the opening and closing of the intake valve. When the intake valve and the rotary valve open overlap, air is sucked into the combustion chamber by the downward movement of the piston. Here, by using the rotary valve, the air pressure downstream of the rotary valve is brought to approximately atmospheric pressure at the initial stage of opening of the intake valve, thereby reducing the pumping loss.

By throttling the air with a throttle valve and lowering the pressure in the intake passage below atmospheric pressure in advance, the pressure in the combustion chamber when the piston is at bottom dead center is reduced to -55% during idling, for example.
It is possible to set it to 0ffffflH.

であるという不具合がある。<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in such conventional intake air control devices, since a rotary valve is provided in series with the intake valve, it is difficult to change the rotational phase of the rotary valve. Since it has a complicated structure in which multiple gears are combined, there is a problem that the friction loss is large and the overall effect of reducing the pumping loss is reduced. Further, due to the complicated structure, it is difficult to control the intake air flow rate for each cylinder.

In No. 6072, on-off valves are interposed in the bypass passages of the throttle valves provided independently for each cylinder, and these on-off valves are driven to open and close by electromagnetic actuators in response to the opening and closing of the intake valves to achieve intake in the low load range. We have proposed a system that controls air flow while reducing pumping loss. However, in this case, the intake inertia cannot be used effectively, so the swirl formed in the combustion chamber is weak and the combustion performance is degraded.

。That is, at the start of the intake stroke when the intake valve 3 begins to open, the second on-off valve 5 is fully opened from the compression stroke to the explosion stroke so that the intake pressure downstream of the throttle valve 2 becomes atmospheric pressure. As a result, the intake pressure downstream of the throttle valve 2 is, as shown in C in FIG. ~570., rises from H9 to near atmospheric pressure.

Also,
The intake pressure at the bottom dead center of the piston is 550 to 570 II.
If the opening degree of the second on-off valve 5 is always set small so that IIH9, the intake pressure at the start of the intake stroke becomes B in Fig. 11.

As a result, as shown in C in Fig. 11, the intake pressure at the time when the intake valve 3 opens is set to near atmospheric pressure, the intake pressure at the end of the intake stroke is set to a predetermined value, and the intake air flow rate is set to a predetermined value. This allows it to be set to . Specifically, the second on-off valve 5 is fully opened during the opening/closing period of the intake valve 3, and immediately before the intake valve 3 opens, the second on-off valve 5 is closed to a predetermined opening degree.
このようにして、第2開閉弁5の開度を制御す3

純な制御で行える。これは吸気行程開始時の吸気圧力が
大気圧とすると、絞り弁2下流の吸気通路1の容積と、

から吸気空気流量を知ることができ、これによって不足
分を第2開閉弁5の開度制御により補えば良いからであ
る。By controlling the opening degree of the second on-off valve 5 in this manner, the opening degree of the second on-off valve 5 can be simply controlled in proportion to the engine rotational speed. This is the volume of the intake passage 1 downstream of the throttle valve 2, assuming that the intake pressure at the start of the intake stroke is atmospheric pressure.
This is because the intake air flow rate can be determined from the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber that increases as the piston descends, and the deficiency can be compensated for by controlling the opening degree of the second on-off valve 5.
ここで、第11図において第2開閉弁5の閉弁タイミン
グを吸気行程開始前(排気行程に入ったところ)に設定
しているのは、制御系の応答遅れを考慮しているためで
あり、実際には第2開閉弁5は吸気弁3が開く直前に所
定開度に切換られる。Here, the reason why the closing timing of the second on-off valve 5 is set before the start of the intake stroke (at the beginning of the exhaust stroke) in FIG. 11 is to take into account the response delay of the control system. In reality, the second opening/closing valve 5 is switched to a predetermined opening degree immediately before the intake valve 3 opens.

気通路1内の吸気吸気流れは比較的緩慢な状態にある。The control of the second on-off valve will be explained in detail according to the time chart in FIG. 12. Immediately before the opening timing of the intake 3, the second on-off valve 5 is closed from fully open to a predetermined opening as shown in FIG. drive At this time, since the intake pressure in the intake passage 1 downstream of the throttle valve 2 is close to atmospheric pressure, the flow of intake air in the intake passage 1 is relatively slow.
そして、吸気弁3の開弁タイミングから所定期間として
の所4
定時間ΔTだけ遅れて吸気弁3の開弁期間中に第2開閉

量が増大する。所定時間ΔTの代わりに所定クランク角
度経過後に第2開閉弁5の開度を切換えてもよい。Then, after a delay of a predetermined period ΔT from the opening timing of the intake valve 3, the second on-off valve 5 is fully opened from the predetermined opening degree during the opening period of the intake valve 3, as shown in FIG. Switch. As a result, the flow rate of intake air passing through the second on-off valve 5 increases. The opening degree of the second on-off valve 5 may be changed after a predetermined crank angle has elapsed instead of the predetermined time ΔT.
尚、アクチュエータ5Aをオン・オフデユーティ信号に
より制御してバイパス通路4の吸入空気流量を前述の如

次に、前記制御装置6のハードウェア構成の一例を第1
5図に基づいて説明する。Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the control device 6 will be explained as follows.
This will be explained based on FIG.
すなわち、所定クランク角度における筒内圧力を各気筒
毎に平均化処理回路11A〜11Dにより平均化処理し
た後、それらを加算器12にて加算する。That is, after the cylinder pressure at a predetermined crank angle is averaged for each cylinder by the averaging processing circuits 11A to 11D, the adder 12 adds them together.
そして、加算された全気筒の筒内圧力を除算器13にて
気筒数で除して全気筒の平均圧力を算出する。Then, the added cylinder pressure of all the cylinders is divided by the number of cylinders by the divider 13 to calculate the average pressure of all the cylinders.
算出された全気筒の平均圧力から各気筒毎の平均圧力を
差分器14A〜14Bにて夫々減じて各気筒毎の圧力差
を算出した後、各気筒毎の圧力差の比例分と積分分とを

算出する。After calculating the pressure difference for each cylinder by subtracting the average pressure for each cylinder from the calculated average pressure for all cylinders using differentiators 14A to 14B, the proportional and integral parts of the pressure difference for each cylinder are calculated. 5 are calculated by the PI processing circuits 15A to 15D, respectively.

これによりアクチュエータ5Aを制御する。Further, after the difference between the actual engine rotation speed detected by the crank angle sensor 7 and the target rotation speed is calculated by the differentiator 16, the proportional part and the integral part of this rotation speed difference are calculated by the PI processing circuit 17. calculate. Then, adders 18A to 18D add the proportional and integral parts of the pressure difference and the proportional and integral parts of the rotational speed difference to obtain a correction value for each cylinder,
This controls the actuator 5A.
以上説明したように、絞り弁2をバイパスするバイパス

。As explained above, the second on-off valve 5 is provided for each cylinder in the bypass passage 4 that bypasses the throttle valve 2, and the volume of the intake passage 1 downstream of each throttle valve 2 is set to 271, which is the maximum volume of the combustion chamber.
and fully open the second on-off valve 5 so that the intake pressure downstream of the throttle valve 2 at the time the intake valve 3 opens is close to atmospheric pressure, and during the intake stroke, the second on-off valve 5 is opened to a predetermined opening degree. Since the valve is driven to close, the following effects can be obtained.
すなわち、吸気弁3が開き始めたときには燃焼室圧力(
吸気通路1の吸気圧力と略同様)大気圧近傍に維持され

アクチュエータ5Aにより制御するようにしたので従来
のものより構造を簡易化できる。That is, when the intake valve 3 begins to open, the combustion chamber pressure (
As the piston descends, the combustion chamber pressure changes from atmospheric pressure to the combustion chamber pressure at the bottom dead center position of the piston during idling (for example - 550~-57
0,,H,). Therefore, pumping loss can be significantly reduced compared to changes in intake pressure due to conventional throttle valve control alone, and the engine output can be maximized. Furthermore, since the second on-off valve 5 of the bypass passage 4 is controlled by the electromagnetic actuator 5A, the structure can be simplified compared to the conventional one.
ここで、絞り弁2から吸気弁3に至る吸気通路1の容積
を、燃焼室の最大容積の172以下に設定する理由を説
明する。前記燃焼室の最大容積をAと設定し、絞り弁2
から吸気弁3に至る吸気通路1の容積をBと仮定し圧縮

下死点位置における燃焼室圧力(吸気圧力)を−456

プ期間が大きいのでこの程度の値になる)と仮定して説
明する。Here, the reason why the volume of the intake passage 1 from the throttle valve 2 to the intake valve 3 is set to 172 or less, which is the maximum volume of the combustion chamber, will be explained. The maximum volume of the combustion chamber is set as A, and the throttle valve 2
Assume that the volume of the intake passage 1 from 1 to the intake valve 3 is B, the compression ratio is 1710, and the combustion chamber pressure (intake pressure) at the piston bottom dead center position during idling is -456
,,H, (in a high-speed engine, the valve overlap period is long, so the value will be approximately this value).
すなわち、ピストン上死点上死点における吸気7
通路1と燃焼室との総容積は(A/10+B)となり、
またピストン下死点上死点における吸気通路1と燃焼室

に燃焼室圧力及び吸気圧力が変化するときには(A/1
0+B)/ (A+B) −0,4となり、これを解く
とA=2Bとなる。That is, the total volume of the intake passage 1 and the combustion chamber at the top dead center of the piston is (A/10+B),
Further, the total volume of the intake passage 1 and the combustion chamber at the bottom dead center and top dead center of the piston is (A+B). Under such conditions, atmospheric pressure (
1 atm) to -450, Thff1H, (0.4 atm)
When the combustion chamber pressure and intake pressure change (A/1
0+B)/(A+B) -0,4, and solving this gives A=2B.
したがって、前記吸気通路1の容積が燃焼室の最大容積
の約172以下のときに、アイドル運転時等の低負荷運
転時に最適なピストン下死点位置における燃焼室圧力を
確保できるのである。Therefore, when the volume of the intake passage 1 is less than or equal to the maximum volume of the combustion chamber, which is about 172, it is possible to ensure the optimal combustion chamber pressure at the bottom dead center position of the piston during low load operation such as during idling operation.
また、全気筒の総平均燃焼室圧力TOTALAVEから
各気筒毎にズレ分(偏差)CYLVARを求めるように
したので、各気筒の燃焼室圧力が前記総平均燃焼室圧力

転性を安定化できる。In addition, since the deviation (deviation) CYLVAR is calculated for each cylinder from the total average combustion chamber pressure TOTALAVE of all cylinders, the combustion chamber pressure of each cylinder approaches the total average combustion chamber pressure TOTALAVE. As a result, the combustion pressure can be made almost the same in all cylinders.This allows the output torque of all cylinders to be made almost the same, making it possible to stabilize drivability during idling.In addition, the target engine rotation speed of each cylinder can be adjusted to After determining the rotational difference (deviation) NVAR from the speed, we determined the NPI for each cylinder and added the NPI that depends on the engine rotational speed to the control value of the actuator 5A. It is possible to stabilize the drivability at times.
また、各気筒において、−燃焼行程(レファレンス信号
)毎にアクチュエータ5Aの制御値を求めるようにした
ので、各気筒においても、出力トルク及び機関回転速度
を略同様にでき、これによってもアイドル運転時の運転
性を安定化できる。In addition, since the control value of the actuator 5A is determined for each combustion stroke (reference signal) in each cylinder, the output torque and engine speed can be made almost the same in each cylinder, and this also allows drivability can be stabilized.

上できる。Furthermore, since the second on-off valve 5 is switched from a predetermined opening degree to full open during the opening period of the intake valve 3, the second on-off valve 5
Since the amount of intake air passing through increases dramatically, the intake air is blown out from the bypass passage 4 into the intake passage 1, which has a high negative pressure. Therefore, the intake air flow downstream of the bypass passage 4 is stirred and swirl can be strengthened, thereby significantly improving combustion performance.
ここで、第2開閉弁5の開度を全開と所定開度とに設定

In addition, by appropriately setting these 9 degrees of opening, it is possible to increase the swirl effect while reducing bombing gloss. Furthermore, if we focus only on the swirl effect, the second on-off valve 5
may be switched between fully closed and fully open.

The second on-off valve may be controlled based on the air-fuel ratio of the engine (for example, a detection signal from an oxygen sensor that detects the air-fuel ratio based on the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas) or the actual output torque. In addition, a second on-off valve was installed in the bypass passage that bypassed the throttle valve.
For example, an externally provided pressure accumulating tank may be communicated with an intake passage downstream of the throttle valve, and a second on-off valve may be interposed in this communication passage.
