Engine control device
View Patent ↗An engine control device configured to control an engine includes: a turbocharger having a turbine that is configured to be driven by exhaust gas of the engine; and a compressor coupled to the turbine and configured to compress fresh air; an air-bypass passage that communicates between an upstream and a downstream of the compressor; an air-bypass valve configured to open/close the passage; a canister configured to store evaporated fuel gas generated in a fuel tank; an ejector configured to suction the evaporated fuel gas from the canister by using differential pressure between the upstream and the downstream of the compressor and introduce the evaporated fuel gas to the upstream; a purge valve configured to open/close a purge passage through which the evaporated fuel gas is to delivered from the canister to the ejector; and a purge valve diagnosis unit configured to detect stuck open malfunction of the purge valve.
1. An engine control device configured to control an engine, the engine control device comprising:
a turbocharger that comprises: a turbine that is configured to he driven by exhaust gas of the engine; and a compressor that is coupled to the turbine and configured to compress fresh air;
an air-bypass passage that communicates between an upstream and a downstream of the compressor;
an air-bypass valve configured to open/close the air-bypass passage;
a canister configured to store evaporated fuel gas generated in a fuel tank;
an ejector configured to suction the evaporated fuel gas from the canister by using differential pressure between the upstream and the downstream of the compressor and to introduce the evaporated fuel gas to the upstream side of the compressor;
a purge valve configured to open/close a purge passage through which the evaporated fuel gas is to be delivered from the canister to the ejector; and
a purge valve diagnosis unit configured to detect stuck open malfunction of the purge valve, wherein
when the purge valve diagnosis unit detects the stuck open malfunction, the engine control device executes purge suppression control so that an opening degree of the air-bypass valve becomes at least equal to a predetermined opening degree.
2. The engine control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening degree of the air-bypass valve during the execution of the purge suppression control is set such that an air-fuel ratio of the engine is leaner than a rich misfire occurring region.
3. The engine control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the opening degree of the air-bypass valve is subjected to feedback control during execution of the purge suppression control such that an air-fuel ratio of the engine is out of a rich misfire occurring region.
4. The engine control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the purge passage includes a branched pipe section for introducing some of the evaporated fuel gas into an intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor, and
an opening degree of the air-bypass valve is set such that pressure in the intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor becomes equal to or higher than pressure in the purge passage during execution of the purge suppression control.
5. The engine control device according to claim 2 , wherein
the purge passage includes a branched pipe section for introducing some of the evaporated fuel gas into an intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor, and
an opening degree of the air-bypass valve is set such that pressure in the intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor becomes equal to or higher than pressure in the purge passage during execution of the purge suppression control.
6. The engine control device according to claim 3 , wherein
the purge passage includes a branched pipe section for introducing some of the evaporated fuel gas into an intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor, and
an opening degree of the air-bypass valve is set such that pressure in the intake pipe line on the downstream of the compressor becomes equal to or higher than pressure in the purge passage during the execution of the purge suppression control.
