Abstract

PURPOSE:To regulate minutely the control of a deceleration time fuel cut, and increase the effect of fuel cost improvement more than as before, by the method that the detection value of a humidity sensor that detects the humidity of intake air is limited to one parameter, and the higher, the humidity is, the smaller the return rotation number is made. CONSTITUTION:A control unit 7 reads various engine condition information pieces from sensors 2-6, and if the total closure of a throttle that is the condition of a deceleration time fuel cut does not exist, determines a fuel injection quantity which is in accordance with an operation condition, and controls an injector 8. In the case of the throttle being totally closed, a cur rotation number Ncut is extracted from a predetermined control map in response to a water temperature sensor 3 output and a signal showing whether or not a brake is stepped on, or the like, and next, the correction coefficient of the cut rotation number Ncut is sought from the control map on the basis of the output of a humidity sensor 6, and a corrected cut rotation number Ncut is determined. If the actual rotation number is larger than the cut rotation number Ncut, fuel is cut, and if not, fuel whose quantity is in accordance with an operation condition, is supplied.

(Prior Art) As is well known, in general electronically controlled engines, the throttle opening is at the minimum and the rotational speed is at the set value A (
If the rotation speed is higher than the cut rotation speed), the fuel supplied to the engine is cut, and in that state the rotation speed is set to the set value B (return rotation speed).
A fuel cut method is applied during deceleration, which restarts the fuel supply if the amount falls below. There is also a system in which the reset rotation speed A and the return rotation speed B are the same.

The cut speed is finely adjusted based on gear position, presence or absence of air conditioner loads, engine coolant temperature, etc., thereby expanding the fuel cut range and improving fuel efficiency. The return rotation speed is the rotation speed at which fuel injection is restarted when the vehicle continues to coast due to a fuel cut, and is normally set to a value slightly smaller than the cut rotation speed. When the engine is cold, the idle speed is set relatively high, so to avoid entering a fuel cut while idling (to prevent the engine from stalling),
The lower the cooling water temperature, the higher the return rotation speed. Of course, if the throttle is opened during fuel cut, fuel injection is restarted immediately. This type of technology is explained in detail in books such as ``Electronically Controlled Gasoline Injection'' (published by Sankaido Co., Ltd.).

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) The present inventors closely observed how the combustion state inside the engine changes depending on the humidity of the air taken into the engine, and found that the lower the humidity, the faster the combustion rate. It was found that high humidity slows down combustion. It was also found that very low-speed torque, which is a measure of engine stall resistance, is improved when the intake air is humid and combustion is slow.

This means that the higher the humidity of the intake air, the less likely the engine will stall even if the engine speed is lowered in a fuel cut state.

In conventional devices, the humidity of the intake air is not a control parameter for fuel cut during deceleration at all, and regardless of the humidity of the intake air, if other conditions such as engine coolant temperature and brake operation status are the same, The above-mentioned return rotation speed B is constant. Therefore, even though the humidity of the intake air is high and engine stalling is unlikely to occur, fuel injection is restarted at the same recovery speed as when the humidity is low, so it can be said that the effect of improving fuel efficiency is insufficient. .

shall be. The control unit 7 reads various types of engine status information as described above (100), and determines whether the throttle is fully open, which is a condition for fuel cut during deceleration (101). If the throttle is not fully open, the fuel injection amount is determined according to the operating condition (1.02), and the injector 8 is controlled based on this to supply a predetermined amount of fuel to the engine (103).

When the throttle is fully open, the cut rotation speed N cut is derived from a predetermined control map according to the output of the water temperature sensor 3 and a signal indicating whether the brake is depressed (11.0), and then the humidity sensor Based on the output of step 6, a correction coefficient for the cut rotation speed NcuL is obtained from the control map, and the cut rotation speed Ncut corrected by the coefficient is determined (111). As shown in Figure 2, the correction coefficient for the cut rotation speed N cut is 1 when the humidity of the intake air is 50%, and when the humidity is lower than 50%, the correction coefficient becomes large; The correction coefficient becomes smaller. In other words, the cut rotation speed Ncut is set smaller as the humidity of the intake air is higher.
