Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the car speed hunting on fuel cut by installing a valve controlled by a constant speed controller in series with an idle revolution controlling valve in a bypass air conduit and reducing the air quantity in the bypass air conduit during the constant speed control. CONSTITUTION:A valve 16 for controlling the idle revolution by an engine control computer 2 is installed into a bypass air conduit 15 which makes a detour around a throttle 4, and in order to carry out fuel cut and control a vehicle in the constant speed travel in case of the perfect closure of a throttle at a constant revolution speed or more, a valve 20 controlled by a constant speed travel controlling computer 19 is installed in series with the valve 16 for controlling the idle revolution. Therefore, during the constant speed control, the quantity of air which passes through the bypass air conduit 15 is reduced by the valve 20, and the perfect closure of the throttle is obstructed, and the driving power in the perfect closure of the throttle is reduced, and the car speed hunting due to the fuel cut particularly on descending a slope, etc., can be prevented.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] When a vehicle is controlled to run at a constant speed, the fuel is cut off when the throttle is fully closed when the rotational speed is above a certain number of revolutions, and vehicle speed hunting occurs due to the fuel cut on a downhill slope. Therefore, during constant speed driving control, we have installed a special valve that restricts the amount of air passing through the bypass air line for idle rotation that bypasses the throttle, making it difficult for the throttle to close fully and reducing the driving force when the throttle is fully closed. do.

The basics of fuel injection control is to inject fuel proportional to the amount of air taken into the engine 1, but various corrections can be added to this.For example, one way to do this is to make the fuel richer when the water temperature is low. This is an example. In addition, in a system that burns unburned fuel in exhaust gas with a catalyst 17, if the rotation speed exceeds a predetermined number (this is called the fuel cut rotation speed) when the throttle is fully closed, the fuel supply is stopped and the catalyst 17 burns.

On the other hand, there is a method in which the accelerator pedal 7 is stopped when the vehicle is intended to travel at a constant speed, and the opening degree of the throttle 4 is automatically controlled using the actuator 18 instead. Reference numeral 19 is a constant speed running control computer which serves as the control center.

The basics of constant speed running control is that when the control switch 20 is pressed, the vehicle speed at that time is stored, and thereafter the control signal to the actuator 18 is changed so that the traveling vehicle speed becomes equal to the stored vehicle speed. This control is canceled when the cancel switch 21 is turned on by button operation, brake operation, or the like.

The driving force of a typical vehicle is controlled between curve C (when the throttle is fully open) and curve D (when the throttle is fully closed) in FIG. 5 by adjusting the throttle opening.

Curve A shows the running resistance on a flat road (gradient 0%), and if the vehicle is to run on this flat road at a speed of, for example, 80 km/h, a driving force at point a is required.

Therefore, in a system using the constant speed running control computer 19, the actuator 18 is driven to achieve this. When this vehicle reaches a downhill slope, it can maintain a speed of 80 km/h with less driving force, so the throttle opening will naturally decrease. Curve B shows the running resistance on a downhill slope with a slope of -5%. According to this, it can be seen that the driving force required for running at a constant speed of 80 Km/h is at point b.

The fuel cut mentioned above is the E/G line shown by the F straight line.
This is performed when the (engine) rotation speed is equal to or higher than the fuel cut rotation speed indicated by the G straight line. When this fuel cut is performed, the driving force deviates from the continuous variable region between curves C and D, and a driving force curve E at the time of fuel cut occurs below that range. In this case, the curve indicates a down state in which the throttle is fully closed but the fuel is not cut, and indicates a driving force depending on the residual throttle opening (1 to 2%) and bypass air.

In other words, at point d on the curve, there is too much driving force for 80km constant speed travel, so when the constant speed travel control computer 19 reduces the throttle opening, the engine control computer 2 detects that the throttle is fully closed and cuts the fuel. I do. As a result, when the driving force suddenly drops to point e on the curve E, the driving force is insufficient and the vehicle speed decreases, so the constant speed cruise control computer 19 increases the throttle opening. When the throttle is opened slightly (and the engine control computer 2 resumes fuel supply, the driving force returns to point d on the curve, and the vehicle speed increases. In this way, the driving force moves back and forth between points d and e. This causes vehicle speed hunting.

In an engine having a bypass air line 15 for idle control, the air JiA flowing into the intake manifold is the sum of the air [I A + that has passed through the throttle 4 and the amount of air A2 that has passed through the bypass air line 15. Of these, the bypass air amount A2 is fixed as an offset value during normal driving. Therefore, even if the throttle is fully closed, the inflow air amount A does not become 0 (actually, the throttle opening still remains 1 to 2%). Point d in FIG. 5 is the driving force in this state. Therefore, if the bypass air amount A2 is reduced by the valve 20 (maximum 100%), d in Fig. 5
The point approaches 0 (this is point d' in Figure 2).

When the bypass air amount A2 is reduced in this way, the driving force near the fully closed throttle becomes smaller (if the throttle opening is sufficiently large, the air amount A1 due to the throttle becomes the dominant factor in determining the driving force). ■Throttle 4 becomes difficult to fully close while driving at a constant speed, and ■Throttle 4
Even when the engine is fully closed, the difference in driving force compared to when the fuel is cut remains small, so if point b in FIG. 5 is between points d and d' in FIG. 2, no vehicle speed hunting will occur. Also, if b
Even if the point is between points d' and e, the amplitude of vehicle speed hunting is reduced, so the perceived shock is reduced.

The valve 20 is turned off (open) when not energized, and must be in a state where the idle control valve 16 can control the bypass air amount A2. In addition, even during constant speed driving control, the valve 20 needs to be turned on when the throttle is fully closed, so it is possible to detect the throttle opening and turn it off (open) in other sections. good. Further, the on (closed) state may not be 100% shutoff, and there may be a residual opening degree of some percentage.
