- FIG. 5 shows a control flow of arithmetic processing for ignition control in the first embodiment.
- Step S501 is a process executed by the target ignition total energy calculator 41 in FIG. 4
- step S502 is a process executed by the ignition timing flow velocity calculator 42.
- step S503 is a process executed by the target ignition energy realization section 43 .
- a target ignition total energy is calculated.
- the target ignition total energy is, for example, a reference energy calculated based on the equivalence ratio of the air-fuel mixture, a correction coefficient for correcting the energy amount according to the EGR rate, and a correction coefficient for correcting the energy amount according to the ignition timing pressure. , and a correction coefficient for correcting the amount of energy according to the temperature of the ignition timing.
- the energy required for ignition is minimized in a specific equivalence ratio range.
- the specific equivalence ratio range varies depending on the fuel type and oxidant type, but in the case of gasoline, it is minimized under conditions close to the stoichiometric mixture ratio (stoichiometry). Therefore, the reference energy has a downwardly convex characteristic with respect to the equivalence ratio (FIG. 6A).
- the target ignition total energy can be calculated in step S501 of FIG.
- a laminar combustion velocity as an index having characteristics opposite to the relationship between the equivalence ratio and the reference energy and the relationship between the EGR rate, pressure, temperature and the reference energy.
- SL is the laminar combustion speed of the air-fuel mixture determined based on the ignition timing temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, and EGR rate, and SL0 is the laminar combustion speed under the reference condition.
- the laminar burning velocity SL may be obtained in advance through experiments, or may be obtained using an existing proposed formula. Since the laminar combustion velocity term in equation (1) is multiplied by a negative value, the target ignition total energy E calculated by equation (1) is the EGR rate, which has a minimum value for a specific equivalence ratio. It has a positive correlation with pressure, a positive correlation with pressure, and a negative correlation with temperature.
- step S501 It is possible to calculate the target ignition total energy in step S501 by the method described above. By setting the target ignition total energy in this way, it is possible to set an appropriate energy target value based on parameters that affect ignitability, such as the equivalence ratio, EGR rate, ignition timing pressure, and ignition timing temperature.
- step S502 the flow velocity around the spark plug at the ignition timing is calculated.
- the flow velocity around the plug at the ignition timing depends on the operating conditions of the engine (engine torque, rotation speed), the variable valve operation amount and tumble control valve opening, which are the operation amounts of the actuators related to air flow, and the ignition timing, which is the ignition timing. Depends on the time.
- FIGS. 7A to 7D show a relationship 71 between the operating conditions and the reference flow velocity, a relationship 72 between the variable valve operation amount and the correction coefficient, a relationship 73 between the tumble control valve opening and the correction coefficient, and a relationship 74 between the ignition timing and the correction coefficient, respectively.
- the operating conditions include the rotational speed of the engine and the torque generated by the engine (engine torque).
- engine torque The angular velocity of the vortex formed inside the engine tends to change according to the engine rotation speed, and the higher the engine rotation speed, the higher the ignition timing flow velocity (there is a positive correlation between the rotation speed and the flow velocity). be).
- the greater the engine torque the more air is introduced into the engine cylinder, which increases the momentum in the engine cylinder and may increase the flow velocity (there is a positive correlation between throttle opening and flow velocity). be).
- the correction coefficient has a characteristic of having a maximum value in the predetermined range of the operation amount of the variable valve (flow velocity).
- flow velocity The greater the difference between the actual operation amount and the operation amount (reference operation amount) of the variable valve mechanism that maximizes the flow velocity, the smaller the flow velocity.There is a negative correlation between the difference between the reference operation amount and the actual operation amount and the flow velocity).
- variable valve when the variable valve is operated to close the intake valve extremely early, the flow in the engine cylinder is attenuated and the flow velocity at the ignition timing becomes smaller. On the other hand, if the closing timing of the intake valve is extremely late, part of the air introduced into the engine cylinder will blow back into the intake pipe, reducing the momentum in the engine cylinder and reducing the flow velocity at the ignition timing. .
- the change in flow velocity with respect to the operation amount of the variable valve has a characteristic that has a maximum value within a predetermined range (Fig. 7B).
- the tumble control valve is a mechanism that increases the flow rate of gas flowing into the engine by closing part of the flow path by operating the control valve.
- a large degree of opening of the tumble control valve indicates that the flow path is blocked by a relatively small amount.
- the opening of the tumble control valve is large, the amount that blocks the flow path is relatively small, and the flow velocity at the ignition timing becomes small. large, and the flow velocity at the ignition timing becomes large.
- the correction coefficient has a negative correlation with the degree of opening of the tumble control valve (Fig. 7C).
- the radius of the vortex gradually decreases as the piston rises, and the flow velocity around the plug tends to decrease. Therefore, the correction coefficient increases as the ignition timing advances (Fig. 7D).
