Specifically, the signal output from the crank angle sensor according to the rotation of the crankshaft is compared with the signal output from the cam angle sensor according to the rotation of the camshaft, and a predetermined signal pattern combination appears. The absolute crank angle is determined on the basis of the time point. According to this method, when the internal combustion engine is started (cranking), the crankshaft is moved to about 180 until the crank angle is determined, that is, until a predetermined combination of signal patterns appears. Need to rotate through ⁇ 360 °. Then, when the crank angle is determined, the cylinder that reaches the compression stroke is determined, and fuel injection is started in the cylinder.

Therefore, at the time of cranking of the internal combustion engine, fuel injection, ignition, and the like performed based on the specified crank angle can be quickly started. As a result, the startability of the internal combustion engine and the exhaust emission at the start can be improved. Further, the cranking time can be shortened and the power consumption of the battery can be suppressed.

Therefore, even if the gain fluctuates due to deterioration of the in-cylinder pressure sensor or changes in the usage environment, the crank angle can be accurately detected based on a ratio that is not affected by the gain, and an error occurs in the detection result. Can be prevented.
- the data means since the data means is used, the crank angle can be easily calculated by a low-load process that simply refers to the data means based on the ratio of the in-cylinder pressure. That is, since a high-load process such as exponential calculation is not required when detecting the crank angle, the calculation process load can be suppressed, and the cost of the control device can be reduced and the power consumption can be reduced.

Therefore, the control device can easily calculate the crank angle based on the ratio of the in-cylinder pressure and the data means without performing an exponent operation such as V n ⁇ .
- the correlation between the in-cylinder pressure ratio and the volume ratio parameter is particularly high during the fully closed period from when the intake valve is closed to when the exhaust valve is opened. Therefore, detection accuracy can be improved by detecting the crank angle from the ratio of the in-cylinder pressure in the cylinder during the fully closed period.
- the ratio of the in-cylinder pressure has a peak value at one point in the compression stroke in one combustion cycle. Therefore, even before the crank angle is detected, when the cylinder in which the peak value appears is detected, it is determined that the cylinder is in the fully closed period (more precisely, in the compression stroke).

It is set to an appropriate value that is compatible. 2 and 3 exemplify a case where the predetermined angle ⁇ is set to 60 ° CA. Further, since the predetermined angle ⁇ is a relative angle between the crank angles ⁇ n and ⁇ n + 1, it can be measured based on a signal from the crank angle sensor 38.
- an offset b included in the detected pressure is acquired by the methods (1) to (3) described later.
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) is calculated after removing the offset b from the detected pressure.
- the gain a included in the detection pressure is removed by division and P n + 1 and P n when calculating the cylinder pressure ratio.
- the gain a and the offset b are defined by the above equation (1). Therefore, the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) is calculated as a parameter that is not affected by the gain a and the offset b.
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) calculated in this way is compared with the map data of the volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ).
- the ECU 50, the volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) and map data obtained by the data of the relation between the crank angle theta n (shown by a dotted line in FIG. 4) is stored in advance.
- This map data constitutes the data means of the present embodiment. If the relationship shown in the equation (4) is assumed, the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) and the crank angle ⁇ n Is equivalent to the data of the relationship.
- ECU 50 at any crank angle theta n, by referring to the map data based on the cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ), detects the absolute angle value of the crankshaft angle theta n can do.
- the relationship between the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) and the crank angle ⁇ n is preset as map data. For this reason, when detecting the crank angle, it is not necessary to repeat the calculation processing of V n ⁇ and V n + 1 ⁇ including exponential calculation as in the prior art described in Patent Document 4, for example. The load can be minimized.
- the map data described above includes a section in which two crank angles correspond to a specific in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ). That is, for example, referring to the map data based on the in-cylinder pressure ratio r shown in FIG. 4, the two crank angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 correspond to each other.
- the ECU 50 determines whether the crank angle to be detected is ⁇ 1 or ⁇ 2 based on the increasing / decreasing tendency (inclination of the characteristic line) of the in-cylinder pressure when the in-cylinder pressure P n or P n + 1 is detected. Specify whether it is.
- the ECU 50 can identify whether the in-cylinder pressure tends to increase or decrease at the crank angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 based on the map data. Therefore, for example, by comparing the increasing / decreasing tendency of the in-cylinder pressure when the in-cylinder pressure P n or P n + 1 is detected with the increasing / decreasing characteristics of the in-cylinder pressure at the crank angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 on the map data, It can be specified whether the ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) corresponds to one of the crank angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2.
- the correlation between the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) and the volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) is, as described above, in the fully closed period in which the cylinder is sealed. Especially high. For this reason, it is preferable that the detection of the crank angle based on the map data is performed in a cylinder during the fully closed period. Therefore, the ECU 50 determines whether or not the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) exceeds a predetermined reference value S in each cylinder.
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) has a peak value at one point in the compression stroke in one combustion cycle.
- the reference value S is set in advance as a value by which this peak value can be detected. Therefore, for example, when the cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) exceeds the reference value S in any one of the plurality of cylinders during cranking, the ECU 50 determines the cylinder pressure ratio (P Based on (n + 1 / P n ), the angle value of the crank angle is detected by the above method. Based on the detected crank angle, the fuel injection start timing in each cylinder is set.
- the fuel injection start timing is determined by calculating backward from the closing timing of the intake valve 34. Specifically, first, the fuel injection amount (injection time) is determined based on the state of the internal combustion engine (for example, intake air temperature, water temperature, battery voltage, etc.), and this injection time is detected by the crank angle sensor 38. It is converted into an injection angle according to the engine speed.
- the fuel injection start timing is a crank angle obtained by subtracting the injection angle from the intake valve closing timing in each cylinder, and is calculated for each cylinder.
- the ECU 50 starts fuel injection of the cylinder every time the injection start timing of any cylinder arrives based on the crank angle detected by the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ).
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) has a volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) corresponding to the injection start timing of the specific cylinder. )

- the routine shown in FIG. 5 is repeatedly executed after the ECU 50 is turned on when the internal combustion engine is started and before the cylinder is determined based on the signals of the crank angle sensor and the cam angle sensor. The process is terminated when the cylinder discrimination is performed.
- the value of the offset b included in the pressure detected by the in-cylinder pressure sensor 40 is acquired (step 100). This acquisition process is executed using, for example, any one of the methods (1) to (3) described above.
- the fuel injection amount is determined based on the intake air temperature, water temperature, battery voltage, and the like (step 102). Further, the engine speed at the time of cranking is detected based on the output signal of the crank angle sensor 38, and the injection time is converted into the injection angle based on the detection result (steps 104 and 106).
- the optimum injection start angle is calculated for each cylinder by subtracting the injection angle from the closing timing of the intake valve 34 in each cylinder (that is, the crank angle at which fuel injection is to be terminated) (step 108).
- the ECU 50 stores in advance the closing timing of the intake valve 34 of each cylinder during cranking. Accordingly, by subtracting the injection angle from these valve closing timings, it is possible to obtain an optimal injection start angle for each individual cylinder.
- ECU 50 uses the map data shown in FIG. 4, the converting the injection start angle to the volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) (step 110).
- the injection start angle for each cylinder are translated into specific values of volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) , respectively.
- in-cylinder pressures P n and P n + 1 are detected in each cylinder, and the offset b obtained in step 100 is removed from the detected values (step 112). Then, based on the in-cylinder pressure after removing the offset b, the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) of each cylinder is calculated (step 114). Subsequently, by comparing these in-cylinder pressure ratios with the reference value S, the cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) of the cylinders in the fully closed period is determined while determining the cylinders in the fully closed period.
- step 116 is equal to or coincides with the volume ratio parameters of any of the cylinders obtained in step 110 (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) ( step 116).
- V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ the volume ratio parameters of any of the cylinders obtained in step 110 (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ) (step 116).
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) is equal to the volume ratio parameter (V n ⁇ / V n + 1 ⁇ ), and the volume
- the relationship between the ratio parameter and the crank angle that is, the relationship between the in-cylinder pressure ratio and the crank angle, can be made map data in advance.
- the relationship between the volume ratio parameter and the crank angle can be easily determined from the structure of the internal combustion engine.
- the conventional cylinder discrimination is completed after at least the crankshaft has rotated about 180 to 360 °, whereas according to the present embodiment, for example, even when the crankshaft rotates about 45 ° in a 4-cylinder engine,
- the crank angle can be specified. Therefore, at the time of cranking, fuel injection, ignition, etc. performed based on the specified crank angle can be started quickly. In particular, fuel injection that has a large effect on startability can be started early at an appropriate timing. Thereby, the startability of an internal combustion engine can be improved and the exhaust emission at the time of start-up can be improved. Further, the cranking time can be shortened and the power consumption of the battery can be suppressed.
- the in-cylinder pressure ratio (P n + 1 / P n ) is used when the crank angle is detected, the gain a included in the detected value of the in-cylinder pressure is easily removed when calculating the in-cylinder pressure ratio (when performing division). can do. Further, the offset b included in the detected value can be removed in advance before calculating the in-cylinder pressure ratio. Accordingly, the in-cylinder pressure ratio is a parameter that is not influenced by either the gain a or the offset b. Therefore, even if the gain a and the offset b fluctuate due to deterioration of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 40 or a change in the use environment, the crank angle is changed. It is possible to always detect accurately, and to prevent an error from occurring in the detected value.
- the crank angle can be easily calculated by low-load processing that simply refers to the map data based on the in-cylinder pressure ratio. That is, the ECU 50 does not have to perform a high-load exponent calculation such as V n ⁇ when detecting the crank angle, so that it is possible to reduce the calculation processing load, and to reduce the cost of the control device, reduce power consumption, and the like. Can be planned.
- the detection accuracy can be further improved. Moreover, since it is determined that the cylinder whose in-cylinder pressure ratio exceeds the reference value S is in the fully closed period, even if the in-cylinder pressure ratio of a certain cylinder exceeds the reference value S even before the crank angle is detected, It can be reliably determined that the cylinder is in the fully closed period (more precisely, in the compression stroke).
- the ECU 50 can accurately detect the crank angle in an arbitrary section by using not only the in-cylinder pressure ratio and the map data but also the increasing / decreasing tendency of the in-cylinder pressure.

Specifically, for example, the offset b may be acquired when a certain period of time has elapsed or the temperature environment has changed. Further, in the embodiment, the offset b is removed from the detected pressure of the in-cylinder pressure sensor 40. However, the present invention can obtain an effect only by removing the gain a, and the offset b is not removed. Also good.

以下、図1乃至図5を参照しつつ、本発明の実施の形態1について説明する。図1は、本発明の実施の形態1のシステム構成を説明するための全体構成図である。本実施の形態のシステムは、多気筒型の内燃機関10を備えており、内燃機関10の各気筒12(1気筒のみ図示)には、ピストン14の往復動作により拡大,縮小する燃焼室16が設けられている。ピストン14は、内燃機関10のクランク軸18に連結されている。
始動制御は、内燃機関の始動時(クランキング時)において、クランク角センサとカム角センサの信号に基いて気筒判別が行われる以前に実行されるものである。そして、始動制御は、筒内圧に基いてクランク軸18の絶対的な回転角(クランク角)を検出し、吸気行程中の気筒を判別するように構成されている。
まず、ECU50は、筒内圧センサ40の出力に基いて、任意のクランク角θnにおける第1の筒内圧Pnと、このクランク角θnから所定角度Δθだけ回転したクランク角θn+1における第2の筒内圧Pn+1とを検出し、筒内圧比(Pn+1/Pn)を算出する。ここで、所定角度Δθが過小である場合には、筒内圧Pn,Pn+1間の差分が小さくなり、筒内圧比の算出精度が低下する。また、所定角度Δθが過大である場合には、筒内圧比(Pn+1/Pn)を算出するのに必要な時間が長くなるため、制御の応答性が低下する。
オフセットbの取得および除去は、以下に例示する方法(1)~(3)により行われる。これらの方法は一般的に公知なものであり、また本発明を限定するものではない。
(1)排気行程後の上死点において、筒内圧の検出値が既知である大気圧と等しくなるものとみなし、当該筒内圧の検出値と予め記憶しておいた大気圧とを比較することにより、オフセットbを算出する。
(2)吸気行程において、筒内圧の検出値が吸気管圧と等しくなるものとみなし、当該筒内圧の検出値と吸気圧センサにより検出した吸気管圧とを比較することにより、オフセットbを算出する。
(3)例えば日本特開平11-82148号公報等に記載されているように、PVκ=一定という関係を用いることにより、複数のクランク角で得られた筒内圧Pと筒内容積Vとに基いてオフセットbを除去する。
このように算出された筒内圧比(Pn+1/Pn)は、容積比パラメータ(Vn κ/Vn+1 κ)のマップデータと比較される。ECU50には、容積比パラメータ(Vn κ/Vn+1 κ)とクランク角θnとの関係をデータ化したマップデータ(図4中に点線で図示)が予め記憶されている。このマップデータは、本実施の形態のデータ手段を構成するものであり、前記(4)式に示す関係を前提とすれば、筒内圧比(Pn+1/Pn)とクランク角θnとの関係をデータ化したものに相当している。
吸気ポート噴射の場合において、燃料噴射は、吸気バルブが閉弁するまでに終了する必要がある。従って、本実施の形態では、吸気バルブ34の閉弁時期から逆算して燃料の噴射開始時期が決定される。具体的には、まず、内燃機関の状態(例えば吸気温度、水温、バッテリ電圧等)に基いて燃料の噴射量(噴射時間)が決定され、この噴射時間は、クランク角センサ38により検出された機関回転数に応じて噴射角度に換算される。燃料の噴射開始時期は、各気筒における吸気バルブの閉弁時期から前記噴射角度を減算したクランク角であり、気筒毎に算出される。
図5は、本発明の実施の形態1において、ECUにより実行される制御を示すフローチャートである。なお、図5に示すルーチンは、内燃機関の始動時にECU50の電源が投入されてから、クランク角センサとカム角センサの信号に基いて気筒判別が行われまでの間に繰り返し実行されるもので、当該気筒判別が行われた時点で終了されるものである。
