EGR control device
An EGR control device includes: a tumble generation valve, a recirculation passage, an EGR valve, an EGR valve opening degree deriving unit, and an EGR valve control unit. The tumble generation valve is configured to adjust a passage area of an intake passage of an engine. The recirculation passage is configured to recirculate an exhaust gas from an exhaust passage of the engine to the intake passage. The EGR valve is disposed on the recirculation passage and configured to open and close the recirculation passage. The EGR valve opening degree deriving unit is configured to derive an opening degree of the EGR valve on a basis of an engine speed, an engine load, and a tumble generation valve opening and closing rate. The EGR valve control unit is configured to drive and control the EGR valve to achieve the opening degree derived by the EGR valve opening degree deriving unit.
1. An EGR control device comprising:
a tumble generation valve that is configured to adjust a passage area of an intake passage of an engine;
a recirculation passage that is configured to recirculate an exhaust gas from an exhaust passage of the engine to the intake passage;
an EGR valve that is disposed on the recirculation passage and configured to open and close the recirculation passage;
an EGR valve opening degree deriving unit that is configured to derive an opening degree of the EGR valve on a basis of an engine speed, an engine load, and a tumble generation valve opening and closing rate; and
an EGR valve control unit that is configured to drive and control the EGR valve to achieve the opening degree derived by the EGR valve opening degree deriving unit.
2. The EGR control device according to claim 1 , wherein
the EGR valve opening degree deriving unit comprises:
a basic opening degree deriving unit that is configured to derive a basic EGR opening degree of the EGR valve on a basis of the engine speed and the engine load; and
a correction opening degree deriving unit that is configured to estimate an actual differential pressure before and after the EGR valve on a basis of the engine speed, the engine load, and the tumble generation valve opening and closing rate, and derive a correction opening degree for the basic EGR opening degree on a basis of the estimated actual differential pressure, and
the EGR valve control unit is configured to drive and control the EGR valve to obtain an opening degree into which the basic EGR opening degree is corrected by the correction opening degree.
