Title:
CONTROL METHOD FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/004734
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In response to an increase in required torque to or beyond a reference value, the value of a virtual air-fuel ratio, which is used for calculating a target air-fuel ratio needed for achieving the required torque, is changed from a first air-fuel ratio to a second air-fuel ratio that is leaner than the first air-fuel ratio. The target air-fuel ratio is back calculated from the required torque using the virtual air-fuel ratio. Then, after the value of the virtual air-fuel ratio is changed from the first air-fuel ratio to the second air-fuel ratio, the target air-fuel ratio is switched from the first air-fuel ratio to the second air-fuel ratio. An operation amount of a fourth actuator is determined using a parameter corresponding to the ratio of fresh air in exhaust gas and the virtual air-fuel ratio. Preferably, a first base operation amount, which is used for achieving a target EGR rate during combustion at the virtual air-fuel ratio, and a first correction amount, which is used for changing the EGR rate to decrease with increase in the ratio of excessive fresh air, are calculated, and a value that reflects the first correction value on the first base operation amount is determined as the operation amount of the fourth actuator.
