Continuous variable valve duration apparatus and control method using the same
A control method using a continuous variable duration apparatus provided to adjust opening duration of an intake valve of an engine may include: setting a desired deceleration speed when a vehicle starts decelerating, determining a pumping loss by the engine that is required for the desired deceleration speed, setting desired duration for the required pumping loss by the engine, and controlling duration of the intake valve on the basis of the set desired duration.
1. A control method using a continuous variable duration apparatus provided to adjust a duration of opening an intake valve of an engine, the method comprising:
setting, by a controller, a desired deceleration speed when a vehicle starts decelerating; determining, by the controller, a pumping loss by the engine that is required for the desired deceleration speed;
setting, by the controller, a desired duration of opening the intake valve for the required pumping loss by the engine;
controlling, by the controller, the duration of opening the intake valve on a basis of the set desired opening duration of opening the intake valve;
decelerating the vehicle on a basis of the desired deceleration speed, as the duration of opening the intake valve is controlled; and,
wherein the setting of the desired duration of opening the intake valve and the controlling of the duration of opening the intake valve on a basis of the set desired duration are performed with an opening timing of the intake valve maximally advanced.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a start of deceleration of the vehicle is detected from a change in position of an accelerator pedal.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is ended upon an end of deceleration of the vehicle.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein an end of the deceleration of the vehicle is detected from a change in a position of an accelerator pedal.
