Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、直噴火花点火式内燃機関の改良に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の直噴火花点火式内燃機関では、例えば特開平7−19046号公報に示されるように、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の略中央より燃焼室内に臨ませた点火プラグと、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の吸気弁側の側部から燃焼室内に臨ませた燃料噴射弁と、を備え、低中速・低負荷条件における燃費向上のため、圧縮行程にて燃料噴射弁から燃料を噴射して、超希薄混合比による成層燃焼を行わせている。
【0003】
ここで、吸気ポートの設定により、燃焼室内に吸気のタンブル流(縦方向の旋回流)として順タンブル流(燃料噴射弁から直接点火プラグへ向かう方向のタンブル流)を生成することで、成層燃焼を行わせる成層運転時に、燃料の拡散を防止しつつ燃料を点火プラグ近傍へ確実に輸送して、燃料の成層化を可能にしている。
【0004】
しかしながら、このような直噴火花点火式内燃機関では、機関をアイドル域のように低速・低負荷条件で運転した場合に、燃焼不良が生じやすく、延いては機関の運転性悪化が生じやすいという問題点を生じていた。
【0005】
これは、機関回転数が低いため、吸気の旋回流動が弱まり、圧縮行程において、タンブル流が減衰、崩壊することによる。このため、混合気が成層化せず、燃焼が不安定となりやすくなるのである。
【0006】
このような問題点に対して、例えば特開平7−19054号公報には、燃料噴射弁と点火プラグとの間のシリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面に燃料噴霧と近接する凸部を設けて、燃料噴霧形態を変化させる、所謂コアンダ効果を利用することで、点火ギャップ付近に燃料の成層化を図るものが開示されている。
【0007】
ここで、コアンダ効果とは、気体や液体の噴流が、噴流軸の方向と湾曲した壁の方向とが離れていても、壁の曲面に沿った方向の近くを流れようとする傾向をいう。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、コアンダ効果を利用するためには、壁面の凸部と噴霧外形とが近接する必要がある。
【0009】
従って、コアンダ効果を利用したい成層運転時の低回転域に合わせて壁面の凸部形状を定めると、成層運転時の高回転域や、吸気行程にて燃料を噴射して均質燃焼を行わせる均質運転時には、燃料噴霧と前記凸部とが干渉し、燃料の未燃分(HC)の増加、燃費の悪化を招くことになる。
【0010】
すなわち、低回転成層運転時の燃焼安定性と、高回転成層運転時や均質運転時の未燃分低減とが両立しないという問題点があった。
本発明は、かかる従来の問題点に鑑み、低回転成層運転時の燃焼安定性と、高回転成層運転時や均質運転時の未燃分低減とを両立させることを目的とする。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
このため、請求項1に係る発明では、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の略中央より燃焼室内に臨ませた点火プラグと、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の吸気弁側の側部から燃焼室内に臨ませた燃料噴射弁と、を備え、少なくとも所定の運転条件にて圧縮行程にて燃料噴射弁から燃料を噴射して成層燃焼を行わせるようにした直噴火花点火式内燃機関において、燃料噴射弁と点火プラグとの間のシリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面に燃料噴霧と近接する凸部を設けると共に、機関運転条件に応じて、前記凸部による燃料噴霧形態を変化させるように、燃料噴射時の燃料圧力(燃圧)又は筒内圧力(背圧)の少なくとも一方を制御する制御手段を設けたことを特徴とする。
【0012】
燃料噴射時の燃料圧力を低下させていくと、噴霧粒子が粗くなり、回りの空気の流速が下がり、コアンダ効果が得られなくなる。また、燃料噴射時の筒内圧力を上昇させていくと、噴霧外形角が狭くなり、燃焼室壁面の凸部との間隔が広がり、コアンダ効果が得られなくなる。よって、これらを制御することで、機関運転条件に応じてコアンダ効果の利用・不利用を制御するのである。
【0013】
請求項2に係る発明では、前記制御手段は、成層燃焼を行わせる成層運転時に、機関回転数に応じて、低回転時は高燃料圧力、高回転時は低燃料圧力とすることを特徴とする。
【0014】
請求項3に係る発明では、前記制御手段は、成層燃焼を行わせる成層運転時に、機関回転数に応じて、低回転時は低筒内圧力、高回転時は高筒内圧力とすることを特徴とする。
【0015】
請求項4に係る発明では、前記制御手段は、吸気行程にて燃料噴射弁から燃料を噴射して均質燃焼を行わせる均質運転時に、低燃料圧力とすることを特徴とする。
【0016】
請求項5に係る発明では、前記制御手段は、均質運転時に、低燃料圧力とすることにより燃料噴射量が不足する領域では、燃料圧力を高圧化し、吸気弁の開期間に燃料を噴射することを特徴とする。
【0017】
請求項6に係る発明では、前記制御手段は、吸気行程にて燃料噴射弁から燃料を噴射して均質燃焼を行わせる均質運転時に、高筒内圧力とすることを特徴とする。
【0018】
【発明の効果】
請求項1に係る発明によれば、機関運転条件に応じて、燃焼室壁面の凸部によるコアンダ効果の大きさを変化させるように、燃料噴射時の燃料圧力(燃圧)又は筒内圧力(背圧)の少なくとも一方を制御することで、コアンダ効果の利用・不利用を制御でき、これによりガス流動の弱い条件でコアンダ効果の利用により燃焼安定性を向上できると共に、ガス流動の強い条件でコアンダ効果の不利用により燃料の未燃分低減を図ることができる。
【0019】
請求項2に係る発明によれば、成層運転時に、機関回転数に応じて、低回転時は高燃料圧力、高回転時は低燃料圧力とすることで、低回転成層運転時にはコアンダ効果を利用して燃焼安定性を向上でき、高回転成層運転時にはコアンダ効果を不利用として未燃分低減を図ることができる。
【0020】
請求項3に係る発明によれば、成層運転時に、機関回転数に応じて、低回転時は低筒内圧力、高回転時は高筒内圧力とすることで、低回転成層運転時にはコアンダ効果を利用して燃焼安定性を向上でき、高回転成層運転時にはコアンダ効果を不利用として未燃分低減を図ることができる。
【0021】
請求項4に係る発明によれば、均質運転時に、低燃料圧力とすることで、コアンダ効果を不利用として未燃分低減を図ることができる。
請求項5に係る発明によれば、均質運転時に、低燃料圧力とすることにより燃料噴射量が不足する領域では、燃料圧力を高圧化して、燃料不足による出力低下を解消する一方、吸気弁開期間に燃料を噴射することで、燃焼室内に突出する吸気弁がコアンダ効果を妨げて、未燃分低減を図ることができる。
【0022】
請求項6に係る発明によれば、均質運転時に、高筒内圧力とすることで、コアンダ効果を不利用として未燃分低減を図ることができる。そして、この場合は、燃料圧力を高圧化できるので、燃料不足による出力低下を招くこともない。
【0023】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の実施の形態を図面に基いて説明する。
図1は本発明の実施形態を示す直噴火花点火式内燃機関のシステム図、図2は同上の内燃機関の概略平面図である。
【0024】
シリンダヘッド1、シリンダブロック2及びピストン3により、燃焼室4が形成されている。
シリンダヘッド1には、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の中央部から燃焼室4内に臨ませた点火プラグ5を囲んで、2つの吸気弁6と2つの排気弁7とが対向配置されている。8は吸気ポート、9は排気ポートである。
【0025】
シリンダヘッド1にはまた、シリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面の吸気弁6側の側部(2つの吸気弁6,6間でかつ下側)から燃焼室4内に臨ませた燃料噴射弁10が取付けられ、この燃料噴射弁10から直接燃焼室4内に斜め下向きに燃料を噴射するようにしてある。
【0026】
ここで、吸気ポート8の設定により、吸気弁6から吸入した空気を排気弁7側に向わせることで、燃焼室4内に吸気のタンブル流(縦方向の旋回流)として、排気弁7側を下向きに流れ、吸気弁6側を上向きに流れる順タンブル流(すなわち、燃料噴射弁10近傍から直接点火プラグ5近傍に向う方向のタンブル流)を生成するようにしてある。そして、ピストン3の冠面には、前記タンブル流を助長する凹部(スロープ溝)11が形成されている。
【0027】
シリンダヘッド1にはまた、燃料噴射弁10と点火プラグ5との間でかつ2つの吸気弁6,6間のシリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面に、燃料噴射弁10からの燃料噴霧の上側部分と近接するように、湾曲面を有する凸部12を設けてある。
【0028】
コントロールユニット13には、クランク角センサ14により検出される機関回転数、アクセル開度センサ15により検出されるアクセル開度(機関負荷)、水温センサ16により検出される水温等が入力されている。
【0029】
そして、コントロールユニット13は、これらにより検出される機関運転条件に応じて、燃料噴射弁10の燃料噴射時期、燃料噴射量、プレッシャレギュレータ17により調圧する燃料噴射弁10への燃料圧力(以下燃圧という)、点火プラグ5の点火時期、及び、電制スロットル弁18の開度を制御する。特に、所定の運転条件(成層領域)にて、燃料噴射弁10の燃料噴射時期を圧縮行程に設定して、成層燃焼を行わせ、それ以外の運転条件(均質領域)にて、燃料噴射弁10の燃料噴射時期を吸気行程に設定して、均質燃焼を行わせる。
【0030】
次に前記凸部12を利用した制御について説明する。
前記凸部12はコアンダ効果を生じさせるためのものであり、コアンダ効果の概念図を図3に示す。
【0031】
燃料噴射弁10から噴射された燃料は、進行する際、回りの空気を巻き込みながら進む。従って、噴霧に沿った形の空気流動が形成される。ここで、この空気流動の側に燃焼室壁が形成されていれば、壁に沿って空気の流れが形成される。この形成された流れに噴霧が引かれるようにして噴霧の偏向作用が生じる。
【0032】
従って、燃料噴射弁10と点火プラグ5との間のシリンダヘッド燃焼室壁面に燃料噴霧と近接する凸部12を設けることで、ガス流動の弱い低回転成層領域にて、圧縮行程においてタンブル流が減衰、崩壊しても、コアンダ効果により、燃料噴霧を点火プラグ5近傍へ輸送することが可能となる。
【0033】
しかし、ガス流動の弱い低回転成層領域で、上記のコアンダ効果を所望すると、高回転成層領域では、ガス流動が強くなるため、均質領域では、噴霧の均質化のため、噴霧が広がることとなり、前記凸部12への噴霧干渉により、燃料の未燃分(HC)の増加、燃費の悪化が懸念されることとなる。
【0034】
他方、コアンダ効果は、図3に示すごとく燃圧を低下させていくと、効果がほとんど無くなる。これは燃圧低下に伴い、噴霧粒子が粗くなり、回りの空気の流速が下がり、コアンダ効果が得られなくなるためである。
【0035】
そこで、第1実施形態では、図4に燃圧制御の概念図を示すように、アイドルを含む低回転成層領域では、高燃圧として、コアンダ効果を利用し、ガス流動が十分得られる高回転成層領域や、均質領域では、低燃圧として、広い成層領域を得ると共に、燃料の未燃分の抑制を図る。
【0036】
図4は第1実施形態での燃圧制御のフローチャートであり、燃圧の制御手段に相当する。
ステップ101では、機関運転条件を示す機関回転数、機関負荷(アクセル開度)、水温等を読込む。
【0037】
ステップ102では、読込んだ機関運転条件に基づいて、成層領域か、均質領域かを判定する。
均質領域の場合は、ステップ104へ進み、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、低燃圧制御を行う。すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の低燃圧に制御する。
【0038】
成層領域の場合は、ステップ103へ進み、機関回転数及び負荷に応じ、コアンダ効果を利用する領域(主に低回転領域)か、利用しない領域(高回転領域)かを判定する。
【0039】
コアンダ効果を利用する領域(主に低回転領域)の場合は、ステップ105へ進み、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、高燃圧制御を行う。すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせる程度まで、高燃圧化する。
【0040】
コアンダ効果を利用しない領域(高回転領域)の場合は、前述のステップ104へ進み、低燃圧制御、すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の低燃圧に制御する。
【0041】
図6にコアンダ効果の利用・不利用時の噴霧形態を示す。
コアンダ効果を利用する領域(低回転領域)では、図6(A)に示すように、燃料噴射弁10からの高燃圧の燃料噴霧が、凸部12によるコアンダ効果により点火プラグ5側に偏向し、ガス流動が弱くても点火プラグ5に届くようになる。
【0042】
コアンダ効果を利用しない領域(高回転領域)では、図6(B)に示すように、燃料噴射弁10からの低燃圧の燃料噴霧にコアンダ効果は生じないが、ガス流動により点火プラグ5に届くようになる。
【0043】
次に本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。
図7は第2実施形態の燃圧制御の概念図である。
この第2実施形態は、燃圧制御をより細かく行うようにしたもので、特に、成層領域において、機関回転数に応じて燃圧を細かく制御するようにしている。
【0044】
図8は第2実施形態での燃圧制御のフローチャートであり、燃圧の制御手段に相当する。
ステップ101では、機関運転条件を示す機関回転数、機関負荷(アクセル開度)、水温等を読込む。
【0045】
ステップ102では、読込んだ機関運転条件に基づいて、成層領域か、均質領域かを判定する。
均質領域の場合は、ステップ106へ進み、均質領域用の燃圧マップを参照し、機関回転数及び負荷に応じて、燃圧を設定し、ステップ107にて、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、その燃圧に制御する。この場合は、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の低燃圧に制御する。
【0046】
成層領域の場合は、ステップ108へ進み、成層領域用の燃圧マップを参照し、機関回転数及び負荷に応じて、主に低回転側で高燃圧となるように、燃圧を設定し、ステップ109にて、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、その燃圧に制御する。この場合は、低回転側でコアンダ効果を生じさせる程度まで、高燃圧化し、高回転側では、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の低燃圧に制御する。
【0047】
効果としては、機関運転条件に応じて、コアンダ効果の大きさをきめ細かく設定することが可能となり、機関安定度と未燃分抑制との両立の最適化を図ることができる。
【0048】
次に本発明の第3実施形態について説明する。
図9に図3と同様にコアンダ効果の概念図を示すが、ここでは特にコアンダ効果の燃料噴射時の筒内圧力(以下背圧という)による影響を示している。特にホロコーン(中空円錐)状の噴霧では、背圧を上昇させることで、噴霧外形角が狭くなる。そのため、燃焼室壁面に凸部12が設けられ、所定の背圧下でコアンダ効果が得られている状況であっても、背圧を上昇させることで、コアンダ効果が得られなくなる。コアンダ効果は湾曲した壁面に沿った流速によるため、背圧上昇に伴って噴霧外形角が狭くなり、燃焼室壁面の凸部12との間隔が広がって、噴霧が離れると、効果が得られなくなるためである。
【0049】
そこで、第3実施形態では、図10に燃圧・背圧制御の概念図を示すように、アイドルを含む低回転成層領域では、高燃圧・低背圧として、コアンダ効果を利用し、ガス流動が十分得られる高回転成層領域では、高燃圧・高背圧として、コアンダ効果をなくすことで、広い成層領域を得るようにし、また、均質領域では、低燃圧・低背圧として、燃料の未燃分の抑制を図る。
【0050】
図11は第3実施形態での燃圧・背圧制御のフローチャートであり、燃圧及び背圧の制御手段に相当する。
ステップ101では、機関運転条件を示す機関回転数、機関負荷(アクセル開度)、水温等を読込む。
【0051】
ステップ102では、読込んだ機関運転条件に基づいて、成層領域か、均質領域かを判定する。
均質領域の場合は、ステップ111へ進み、均質領域用の燃圧マップを参照し、機関回転数及び負荷に応じて、燃圧を比較的低燃圧に設定し、ステップ112にて、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、その燃圧に制御する。この場合は、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の低燃圧に制御する。
【0052】
成層領域の場合は、ステップ113へ進み、成層領域用の燃圧マップを参照し、機関回転数及び負荷に応じて、燃圧を比較的高燃圧に設定し、ステップ114にて、プレッシャレギュレータ17により、その燃圧に制御する。この場合は、低背圧下でコアンダ効果を生じさせる程度まで、高燃圧化する。
【0053】
成層領域の場合は、更にステップ115へ進み、機関回転数及び負荷に応じ、コアンダ効果を利用する領域(主に低回転領域)か、利用しない領域(高回転領域)かを判定する。
【0054】
コアンダ効果を利用する領域(主に低回転領域)の場合は、ステップ116へ進み、電制スロットル弁18の開度を閉側に補正して、低背圧に設定する。すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせる程度まで、低背圧化する。
【0055】
尚、フローには含まれていないが、コアンダ効果を利用する領域(主に低回転領域)の場合に、安定度が得られる程度まで、燃料噴射時期を早くして、すなわち、噴射開始時期を下死点側へ移動させて、圧縮行程初期に噴射するようにしてもよい。圧縮行程初期の方が、燃料噴射時の背圧が低いからである。
【0056】
コアンダ効果を利用しない領域(高回転領域)の場合は、ステップ117へ進み、電制スロットル弁18の開度を開側に補正して、高背圧に設定する。すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の高背圧に制御する。
【0057】
これにより、アイドルを含む低回転成層領域ではコアンダ効果により安定領域を確保しつつ、他の運転条件でも、噴霧と前記凸部12との干渉による燃料の未燃分(HC)の増加、燃費悪化を抑制できる。特に、背圧制御を加えることにより、より広範囲で、未燃分の抑止が図れる。
【0058】
尚、高背圧化すると、吸入空気量が増大し、目標空燃比が一定の場合、燃料が増量されて、トルクが上昇する。よって、低背圧時と比較して、トルク段差を生じる。しかし、成層運転と均質運転との切換時もトルク段差があり、これをアクセル操作で調整しているので、特に問題はない。
【0059】
次に本発明の第4実施形態について説明する。
図12は第4実施形態の燃圧・背圧制御の概念図である。
この第4実施形態は、均質領域において、燃圧を低燃圧化することにより、高負荷時(特にWOT領域)で所望の噴射率が得られない恐れがあることから、燃料噴射量の不足する領域(燃料不足領域)では、燃圧を高圧化し、更にコアンダ効果を抑止すべく、燃料噴射時期を遅くして、吸気弁6のバルブリフトが生じた後のタイミングで、吸気弁6の開期間に燃料を噴射するものである。これは、吸気弁6がリフトして筒内に位置すると、コアンダ効果の邪魔をするからである。
【0060】
図13は第4実施形態での燃圧・背圧制御のフローチャートであり、燃圧及び背圧の制御手段に相当する。
ステップ101,102,111〜117は第3実施形態のフロー(図11)と同じであり、ステップ118,119が追加されている。
【0061】
均質領域の場合に、燃圧を低燃圧に設定するが、ステップ118にて、燃料不足領域(WOT領域)か否かを判定する。
この結果、燃料不足領域の場合は、ステップ119へ進み、燃圧を高燃圧化すると共に、吸気弁6の開期間に燃料を噴射する吸気弁開時噴射とする。すなわち、燃圧を高く設定して、十分な噴射率が得られるようにすると共に、コアンダ効果を生じないように、吸気弁6が開いてから燃料噴射を開始し、吸気弁6が開いている間に噴射を終了するようにする。
【0062】
以上の制御により、WOT領域の噴射率を確保しつつ、コアンダ効果による燃料の未燃分の増加を抑制できる。よって、燃料不足による出力低下を招くことなく、燃料の未燃分を抑制できる。
【0063】
次に本発明の第5実施形態について説明する。
この第5実施形態では、図10の燃圧・背圧制御の概念図において、均質領域にて、低燃圧・低背圧ではなく、高燃圧・高背圧とする。
【0064】
図14は第5実施形態での燃圧・背圧制御のフローチャートであり、燃圧及び背圧の制御手段に相当する。
ステップ101,102,113〜117は第3実施形態(図11)と同じであり、異なる部分について説明する。
【0065】
ステップ102での判定の結果、均質領域の場合は、ステップ111’へ進み、均質領域用の燃圧マップを参照し、機関回転数及び負荷に応じて、燃圧を比較的高燃圧に設定し、ステップ112’にて、その燃圧に制御する。
【0066】
そして、ステップ120へ進み、電制スロットル弁18の開度を開側に補正して、高背圧に設定する。すなわち、コアンダ効果を生じさせない程度の高背圧に制御する。
【0067】
このように、均質運転時に、高背圧とすることで、コアンダ効果を不利用として未燃分低減を図ることができる。そして、この場合は、燃料圧力を高圧化できるので、燃料不足による出力低下を招くこともない。
【0068】
尚、燃料噴射時の背圧を変化させる方法としては、電制スロットル弁18の開度を補正制御する他、吸気弁6に対する可変動弁装置を備える場合は、吸気弁閉時期を制御して、吸気弁閉時期を上死点側に進めることで、吸入空気量を減少させて、低背圧化し、吸気弁閉時期を下死点側に遅らせることで、吸入空気量を増大させて、高背圧することもできる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an improvement of a direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a conventional direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-19046, an ignition plug that faces the combustion chamber from substantially the center of the cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface, and a cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface A fuel injection valve that faces the combustion chamber from the side of the intake valve side, and injects fuel from the fuel injection valve in the compression stroke to improve fuel efficiency under low, medium speed and low load conditions. Stratified combustion is performed by the mixing ratio.
[0003]
Here, by setting the intake port, stratified combustion is generated by generating a forward tumble flow (tumble flow in the direction from the fuel injection valve directly to the ignition plug) as a tumble flow of intake air (longitudinal swirl flow) in the combustion chamber. During the stratified operation in which the fuel is discharged, the fuel is reliably transported to the vicinity of the spark plug while preventing the fuel from diffusing, and the fuel can be stratified.
[0004]
However, in such a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine, when the engine is operated at a low speed and a low load condition such as in an idling range, it is easy to cause a combustion failure and, moreover, to deteriorate the operability of the engine. There was a problem.
[0005]
This is because the rotational speed of the intake air is weakened because the engine speed is low, and the tumble flow is attenuated and collapsed during the compression stroke. For this reason, the air-fuel mixture is not stratified, and combustion tends to become unstable.
[0006]
In order to deal with such problems, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-19054 discloses a fuel spray configuration in which a convex portion adjacent to the fuel spray is provided on the cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface between the fuel injection valve and the spark plug. A fuel stratification has been disclosed in the vicinity of the ignition gap by utilizing the so-called Coanda effect that changes the pressure.
[0007]
Here, the Coanda effect refers to a tendency that a jet of gas or liquid tends to flow near the direction along the curved surface of the wall, even if the direction of the jet axis is separated from the direction of the curved wall.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in order to use the Coanda effect, the convex portion of the wall surface and the spray outer shape need to be close to each other.
[0009]
Therefore, if the convex shape of the wall surface is determined according to the low rotation range during stratification operation where the Coanda effect is to be used, homogeneous combustion is performed by injecting fuel in the high rotation range during stratification operation or in the intake stroke. During operation, the fuel spray and the convex portion interfere with each other, resulting in an increase in unburned fuel (HC) and a deterioration in fuel consumption.
[0010]
That is, there is a problem that the combustion stability at the time of low rotation stratification operation and the reduction of unburned components at the time of high rotation stratification operation or homogeneous operation are not compatible.
In view of such conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to achieve both combustion stability during low rotation stratification operation and reduction of unburned fuel during high rotation stratification operation and homogeneous operation.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the spark plug that faces the combustion chamber from the approximate center of the cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface, and the fuel that faces the combustion chamber from the side of the cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface on the intake valve side. A direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine for injecting fuel from a fuel injection valve in a compression stroke under at least a predetermined operating condition to cause stratified combustion, and a fuel injection valve and an ignition plug A fuel pressure (fuel pressure) at the time of fuel injection is provided so as to provide a convex portion adjacent to the fuel spray on the cylinder head combustion chamber wall between and the fuel spray form by the convex portion according to engine operating conditions. Alternatively, control means for controlling at least one of the in-cylinder pressure (back pressure) is provided.
[0012]
When the fuel pressure at the time of fuel injection is lowered, the spray particles become coarse, the flow velocity of the surrounding air decreases, and the Coanda effect cannot be obtained. Further, when the in-cylinder pressure at the time of fuel injection is increased, the spray external angle becomes narrower, the distance from the convex portion of the wall surface of the combustion chamber increases, and the Coanda effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, by controlling these, the use / non-use of the Coanda effect is controlled according to the engine operating conditions.
[0013]
The invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that, during the stratified operation in which stratified combustion is performed, the control means sets a high fuel pressure at a low speed and a low fuel pressure at a high speed according to the engine speed. To do.
[0014]
In the invention according to claim 3, the control means sets the low in-cylinder pressure at the time of low rotation and the high in-cylinder pressure at the time of high rotation according to the engine speed during the stratified operation in which stratified combustion is performed. Features.
[0015]
The invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that the control means sets a low fuel pressure during a homogeneous operation in which fuel is injected from a fuel injection valve in an intake stroke to perform homogeneous combustion.
[0016]
In the invention according to claim 5, in the homogeneous operation, the control means increases the fuel pressure in a region where the fuel injection amount is insufficient due to the low fuel pressure, and injects the fuel during the intake valve opening period. It is characterized by.
[0017]
The invention according to claim 6 is characterized in that the control means sets a high in-cylinder pressure during a homogeneous operation in which fuel is injected from a fuel injection valve in an intake stroke to perform homogeneous combustion.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the fuel pressure (fuel pressure) or the in-cylinder pressure (back pressure) at the time of fuel injection is changed so as to change the magnitude of the Coanda effect by the convex portion of the combustion chamber wall surface according to the engine operating conditions. The use / non-use of the Coanda effect can be controlled by controlling at least one of the pressure (pressure), thereby improving the combustion stability by using the Coanda effect under a weak gas flow condition, and coanda under a strong gas flow condition. It is possible to reduce the unburned fuel content by not using the effect.
[0019]
According to the invention of claim 2, during the stratification operation, the Coanda effect is utilized during the low rotation stratification operation by setting the high fuel pressure at the low rotation and the low fuel pressure at the high rotation according to the engine speed. Thus, the combustion stability can be improved, and the unburned portion can be reduced without using the Coanda effect during the high rotation stratification operation.
[0020]
According to the third aspect of the present invention, during the stratified operation, the Coanda effect is achieved during the low rotation stratified operation by setting the low in-cylinder pressure during the low rotation and the high in-cylinder pressure during the high rotation according to the engine speed. Combustion stability can be improved by using, and unburned components can be reduced by not using the Coanda effect during high rotation stratification operation.
[0021]
According to the invention which concerns on Claim 4, by making low fuel pressure at the time of a homogeneous operation, a Coanda effect can be avoided and unburned part reduction can be aimed at.
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, in the region where the fuel injection amount is insufficient due to the low fuel pressure during homogeneous operation, the fuel pressure is increased to eliminate the output decrease due to the fuel shortage, while the intake valve is opened. By injecting the fuel during the period, the intake valve protruding into the combustion chamber prevents the Coanda effect and can reduce the unburned amount.
[0022]
According to the invention which concerns on Claim 6, by making it the high in-cylinder pressure at the time of a homogeneous operation, unburned part reduction can be aimed at without using the Coanda effect. In this case, since the fuel pressure can be increased, the output is not reduced due to fuel shortage.
[0023]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a system diagram of a direct injection spark ignition internal combustion engine showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view of the same internal combustion engine.
[0024]
A combustion chamber 4 is formed by the cylinder head 1, the cylinder block 2 and the piston 3.
The cylinder head 1 is provided with two intake valves 6 and two exhaust valves 7 facing each other so as to surround a spark plug 5 that faces the inside of the combustion chamber 4 from the center of the wall surface of the cylinder head combustion chamber. 8 is an intake port and 9 is an exhaust port.
[0025]
The cylinder head 1 is also provided with a fuel injection valve 10 facing the combustion chamber 4 from the side of the cylinder head combustion chamber wall on the intake valve 6 side (between the two intake valves 6 and 6 and below). The fuel is injected obliquely downward into the combustion chamber 4 directly from the fuel injection valve 10.
[0026]
Here, by setting the intake port 8, the air sucked from the intake valve 6 is directed toward the exhaust valve 7, whereby the exhaust valve 7 is converted into the combustion chamber 4 as a tumble flow (vertical swirl flow). A forward tumble flow (that is, a tumble flow in the direction from the vicinity of the fuel injection valve 10 directly to the vicinity of the spark plug 5) is generated that flows downward on the side and flows upward on the intake valve 6 side. A recess (slope groove) 11 for promoting the tumble flow is formed on the crown surface of the piston 3.
[0027]
The cylinder head 1 is also adjacent to the upper portion of the fuel spray from the fuel injection valve 10 between the fuel injection valve 10 and the spark plug 5 and on the cylinder head combustion chamber wall between the two intake valves 6 and 6. Thus, the convex part 12 which has a curved surface is provided.
[0028]
The control unit 13 is input with the engine speed detected by the crank angle sensor 14, the accelerator opening (engine load) detected by the accelerator opening sensor 15, the water temperature detected by the water temperature sensor 16, and the like.
[0029]
The control unit 13 then controls the fuel injection timing of the fuel injection valve 10, the fuel injection amount, and the fuel pressure to the fuel injection valve 10 that is regulated by the pressure regulator 17 (hereinafter referred to as fuel pressure) according to the engine operating conditions detected by these. ), Controlling the ignition timing of the spark plug 5 and the opening degree of the electric throttle valve 18. In particular, under a predetermined operating condition (stratified region), the fuel injection timing of the fuel injection valve 10 is set to the compression stroke to cause stratified combustion, and under other operating conditions (homogeneous region), the fuel injector The fuel injection timing of 10 is set to the intake stroke, and homogeneous combustion is performed.
[0030]
Next, control using the convex portion 12 will be described.
The convex portion 12 is for generating the Coanda effect, and a conceptual diagram of the Coanda effect is shown in FIG.
[0031]
The fuel injected from the fuel injection valve 10 advances while entraining surrounding air as it advances. Thus, a form of air flow along the spray is formed. Here, if a combustion chamber wall is formed on the air flow side, an air flow is formed along the wall. The spray is deflected in such a manner that the spray is drawn to the formed flow.
[0032]
Therefore, by providing the convex portion 12 adjacent to the fuel spray on the cylinder head combustion chamber wall surface between the fuel injection valve 10 and the spark plug 5, the tumble flow is generated in the compression stroke in the low rotation stratification region where the gas flow is weak. Even if it decays or collapses, the fuel spray can be transported to the vicinity of the spark plug 5 by the Coanda effect.
[0033]
However, if the above-mentioned Coanda effect is desired in the low rotation stratification region where the gas flow is weak, the gas flow becomes strong in the high rotation stratification region, so that in the homogeneous region, the spray spreads due to the homogenization of the spray, Due to the spray interference on the convex portion 12, there is a concern about an increase in unburned fuel (HC) and a deterioration in fuel consumption.
[0034]
On the other hand, the Coanda effect has almost no effect when the fuel pressure is lowered as shown in FIG. This is because as the fuel pressure decreases, the spray particles become coarse, the flow velocity of the surrounding air decreases, and the Coanda effect cannot be obtained.
[0035]
Therefore, in the first embodiment, as shown in the conceptual diagram of the fuel pressure control in FIG. 4, in the low rotation stratification region including the idle, the high rotation stratification region in which the gas flow is sufficiently obtained using the Coanda effect as the high fuel pressure. In the homogeneous region, a low stratification region is obtained as a low fuel pressure, and unburned fuel is suppressed.
[0036]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart of fuel pressure control in the first embodiment, and corresponds to fuel pressure control means.
In step 101, the engine speed indicating the engine operating conditions, the engine load (accelerator opening), the water temperature, etc. are read.
[0037]
In step 102, it is determined whether the region is a stratified region or a homogeneous region based on the read engine operating conditions.
In the case of the homogeneous region, the process proceeds to step 104 where low fuel pressure control is performed by the pressure regulator 17. That is, the fuel pressure is controlled so as not to cause the Coanda effect.
[0038]
In the case of the stratified region, the process proceeds to step 103, and it is determined whether the region using the Coanda effect (mainly the low rotation region) or not using the region (high rotation region) according to the engine speed and load.
[0039]
In the case of the region using the Coanda effect (mainly in the low rotation region), the routine proceeds to step 105 where high pressure control is performed by the pressure regulator 17. That is, the fuel pressure is increased to such an extent that the Coanda effect is produced.
[0040]
In the case where the Coanda effect is not used (high rotation region), the process proceeds to step 104 described above, and the fuel pressure is controlled to a low level that does not cause the Coanda effect.
[0041]
FIG. 6 shows a spray form when the Coanda effect is used / not used.
In the region using the Coanda effect (low rotation region), as shown in FIG. 6A, the high fuel pressure fuel spray from the fuel injection valve 10 is deflected to the spark plug 5 side by the Coanda effect by the convex portion 12. Even if the gas flow is weak, it reaches the spark plug 5.
[0042]
In the region where the Coanda effect is not used (high rotation region), as shown in FIG. 6B, the Coanda effect does not occur in the low fuel pressure fuel spray from the fuel injection valve 10, but reaches the spark plug 5 by gas flow. It becomes like this.
[0043]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram of fuel pressure control of the second embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the fuel pressure is controlled more finely, and in particular, in the stratification region, the fuel pressure is finely controlled according to the engine speed.
[0044]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart of fuel pressure control in the second embodiment, which corresponds to fuel pressure control means.
In step 101, the engine speed indicating the engine operating conditions, the engine load (accelerator opening), the water temperature, etc. are read.
[0045]
In step 102, it is determined whether the region is a stratified region or a homogeneous region based on the read engine operating conditions.
In the case of the homogeneous region, the process proceeds to step 106, the fuel pressure map for the homogeneous region is referred to, the fuel pressure is set according to the engine speed and the load, and the fuel pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator 17 in step 107. . In this case, the fuel pressure is controlled so as not to cause the Coanda effect.
[0046]
In the case of the stratified region, the process proceeds to step 108, the fuel pressure map for the stratified region is referred to, and the fuel pressure is set so that the high fuel pressure is mainly set on the low rotation side according to the engine speed and the load. Thus, the fuel pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator 17. In this case, the fuel pressure is increased to such an extent that the Coanda effect is generated on the low rotation side, and the fuel pressure is controlled to a low level that does not cause the Coanda effect on the high rotation side.
[0047]
As an effect, it is possible to finely set the magnitude of the Coanda effect according to the engine operating conditions, and it is possible to optimize the compatibility between engine stability and unburned fuel.
[0048]
Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram of the Coanda effect as in FIG. 3, and here, particularly the influence of the Coanda effect due to the in-cylinder pressure (hereinafter referred to as back pressure) during fuel injection is shown. Especially in the case of a holo-cone (hollow cone) spray, the spray external angle becomes narrower by increasing the back pressure. Therefore, even if the convex portion 12 is provided on the wall surface of the combustion chamber and the Coanda effect is obtained under a predetermined back pressure, the Coanda effect cannot be obtained by increasing the back pressure. Since the Coanda effect depends on the flow velocity along the curved wall surface, the spray external angle becomes narrower as the back pressure rises, and when the spray is separated by increasing the distance from the convex portion 12 of the combustion chamber wall surface, the effect cannot be obtained. Because.
[0049]
Therefore, in the third embodiment, as shown in the conceptual diagram of the fuel pressure / back pressure control in FIG. 10, in the low rotation stratification region including the idle, the Coanda effect is used as the high fuel pressure / low back pressure, and the gas flow is controlled. In the high rotation stratification region that can be obtained sufficiently, high fuel pressure and high back pressure are obtained by eliminating the Coanda effect, so that a wide stratification region is obtained, and in the homogeneous region, fuel is unburned as low fuel pressure and low back pressure. To reduce the minutes.
[0050]
FIG. 11 is a flowchart of fuel pressure / back pressure control in the third embodiment, which corresponds to fuel pressure and back pressure control means.
In step 101, the engine speed indicating the engine operating conditions, the engine load (accelerator opening), the water temperature, etc. are read.
[0051]
In step 102, it is determined whether the region is a stratified region or a homogeneous region based on the read engine operating conditions.
In the case of the homogeneous region, the process proceeds to step 111, the fuel pressure map for the homogeneous region is referred to, the fuel pressure is set to a relatively low fuel pressure according to the engine speed and load, and in step 112, the pressure regulator 17 Control the fuel pressure. In this case, the fuel pressure is controlled so as not to cause the Coanda effect.
[0052]
In the case of the stratified region, the process proceeds to step 113, the fuel pressure map for the stratified region is referred to, the fuel pressure is set to a relatively high fuel pressure according to the engine speed and the load, and in step 114, the pressure regulator 17 Control the fuel pressure. In this case, the fuel pressure is increased to such an extent that the Coanda effect is produced under a low back pressure.
[0053]
In the case of the stratified region, the routine further proceeds to step 115, where it is determined whether the region using the Coanda effect (mainly the low rotation region) or not using the region (high rotation region) according to the engine speed and load.
[0054]
In the case of the region using the Coanda effect (mainly the low rotation region), the routine proceeds to step 116 where the opening degree of the electric throttle valve 18 is corrected to the closed side and set to a low back pressure. That is, the back pressure is reduced to such an extent that the Coanda effect is produced.
[0055]
Although not included in the flow, in the case where the Coanda effect is used (mainly in the low rotation range), the fuel injection timing is advanced to the extent that stability is obtained, that is, the injection start timing is You may make it move to a bottom dead center side, and you may make it inject at the compression stroke initial stage. This is because the back pressure during fuel injection is lower in the early stage of the compression stroke.
[0056]
In the case where the Coanda effect is not used (high rotation range), the process proceeds to step 117, the opening degree of the electric throttle valve 18 is corrected to the open side, and the high back pressure is set. That is, the back pressure is controlled so as not to cause the Coanda effect.
[0057]
As a result, in the low rotation stratification region including idle, a stable region is secured by the Coanda effect, and even under other operating conditions, an increase in unburned fuel (HC) due to the interference between the spray and the convex portion 12 and a deterioration in fuel consumption. Can be suppressed. In particular, by adding back pressure control, it is possible to suppress unburned content in a wider range.
[0058]
When the back pressure is increased, the amount of intake air increases, and when the target air-fuel ratio is constant, the amount of fuel is increased and the torque increases. Therefore, a torque step is generated as compared with the case of low back pressure. However, there is a torque step even when switching between the stratified operation and the homogeneous operation, and since this is adjusted by the accelerator operation, there is no particular problem.
[0059]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 12 is a conceptual diagram of fuel pressure / back pressure control according to the fourth embodiment.
In the fourth embodiment, the fuel injection amount is insufficient in the homogeneous region because there is a possibility that a desired injection rate may not be obtained at high load (particularly the WOT region) by reducing the fuel pressure in the homogeneous region. In the (fuel shortage region), in order to increase the fuel pressure and further suppress the Coanda effect, the fuel injection timing is delayed and the fuel is lifted during the opening period of the intake valve 6 at a timing after the valve lift of the intake valve 6 occurs. Is to inject. This is because if the intake valve 6 is lifted and positioned in the cylinder, it interferes with the Coanda effect.
[0060]
FIG. 13 is a flowchart of fuel pressure / back pressure control in the fourth embodiment, which corresponds to fuel pressure and back pressure control means.
Steps 101, 102, and 111 to 117 are the same as the flow of the third embodiment (FIG. 11), and steps 118 and 119 are added.
[0061]
In the case of the homogeneous region, the fuel pressure is set to a low fuel pressure. In step 118, it is determined whether or not the fuel is in a shortage region (WOT region).
As a result, in the case of the fuel shortage region, the routine proceeds to step 119, where the fuel pressure is increased and the intake valve opening-time injection in which fuel is injected during the opening period of the intake valve 6 is set. That is, the fuel pressure is set high so that a sufficient injection rate is obtained, and the fuel injection is started after the intake valve 6 is opened so that the Coanda effect does not occur, while the intake valve 6 is open. To finish the injection.
[0062]
With the above control, it is possible to suppress an increase in unburned fuel due to the Coanda effect while securing the injection rate in the WOT region. Therefore, unburned fuel can be suppressed without causing a decrease in output due to fuel shortage.
[0063]
Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the fifth embodiment, in the conceptual diagram of the fuel pressure / back pressure control in FIG. 10, the high fuel pressure and the high back pressure are set in the homogeneous region instead of the low fuel pressure and the low back pressure.
[0064]
FIG. 14 is a flowchart of fuel pressure / back pressure control in the fifth embodiment, which corresponds to fuel pressure and back pressure control means.
Steps 101, 102, 113 to 117 are the same as those in the third embodiment (FIG. 11), and different parts will be described.
[0065]
If the result of determination in step 102 is a homogeneous region, the process proceeds to step 111 ', the fuel pressure map for the homogeneous region is referenced, the fuel pressure is set to a relatively high fuel pressure according to the engine speed and load, At 112 ′, the fuel pressure is controlled.
[0066]
And it progresses to step 120, the opening degree of the electric control throttle valve 18 is correct | amended to an open side, and it sets to high back pressure. That is, the back pressure is controlled so as not to cause the Coanda effect.
[0067]
Thus, by setting the high back pressure at the time of homogeneous operation, it is possible to reduce the unburned amount without using the Coanda effect. In this case, since the fuel pressure can be increased, the output is not reduced due to fuel shortage.
[0068]
As a method of changing the back pressure at the time of fuel injection, in addition to correcting and controlling the opening degree of the electric throttle valve 18, when a variable valve device for the intake valve 6 is provided, the intake valve closing timing is controlled. By moving the intake valve closing timing to the top dead center side, the intake air amount is reduced, the back pressure is reduced, and by reducing the intake valve closing timing to the bottom dead center side, the intake air amount is increased, High back pressure is also possible.
