Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle travel control device, and in particular, in a vehicle capable of coasting traveling in a state where the engine braking force is lower than engine braking traveling, while ensuring an amplifying operation of the braking force during brake operation.
- the present invention relates to a technology for further improving fuel consumption.
- the engine brake is more effective than the engine brake travel for engine brake travel where the engine brake is applied by the driven rotation of the engine while the engine and wheels are connected. Inertia running with reduced power is considered.
- the device described in Patent Document 1 is an example, and (a) two types of inertial traveling, that is, a first inertial traveling that travels with the engine stopped and (b) a second inertial traveling that travels while the engine is rotated.
- a control mode has been proposed.
- the first inertia traveling is a free-run inertia traveling in which the clutch is released to disconnect the engine from the wheel and the fuel supply to the engine is stopped to stop the rotation.
- the second inertia traveling is a second inertia traveling. It is a neutral inertia running that is operated by supplying fuel to the engine with the engine released and disconnected from the wheel. One of these inertial runnings is executed under certain conditions without any particular distinction.
- Patent Document 1 Although there is no description in Patent Document 1, there is a difference in brake performance between the first inertia traveling and the second inertia traveling where the engine states are different. However, in the technique of Patent Document 1, the first inertia traveling and the second inertia traveling are canceled without being distinguished, and it is still improved in order to improve the fuel consumption while ensuring the braking force at the time of the brake operation. There was room for. That is, the vehicle is generally provided with a brake booster that amplifies the braking force by using the negative pressure generated by the rotation of the engine, but in the first inertia traveling where the engine stops, the negative pressure is applied to the brake booster.
- a brake booster that amplifies the braking force by using the negative pressure generated by the rotation of the engine, but in the first inertia traveling where the engine stops, the negative pressure is applied to the brake booster.
- the brake booster In the second inertial running with the engine rotated, the brake booster is sequentially filled with negative pressure, whereas the braking force amplification action decreases with repeated operation of the brake. Amplifying action of braking force can be obtained continuously. Although the characteristics of the brake performance are different in this way, if the execution condition is determined according to one of the characteristics, the amplification effect of the brake force can be secured, but the fuel efficiency improvement effect is restricted, or the fuel efficiency is improved. There exists a subject that the amplification effect
- the present invention has been made against the background of the above circumstances.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle capable of inertial traveling that travels with a lower engine braking force than that of engine braking.
- the purpose is to further improve fuel efficiency while ensuring the amplification effect of the braking force.
- the first invention provides (a) a vehicle using an engine, a brake operation member operated in accordance with a driver's required brake amount, and a negative pressure generated by the rotation of the engine.
- a brake booster that amplifies the force
- (b) ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ engine brake travel that travels by applying engine brake by driven rotation of the engine while the engine and wheels are connected, and engine brake travel
- the vehicle travel control device that is capable of coasting traveling with the engine braking force reduced, and the braking request amount is included as a condition for terminating the coasting, (c) as the coasting, A first inertia traveling that travels with the engine stopped, and a second inertia traveling that travels while the engine is rotated, (D) ⁇ ⁇ If the required brake amount becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined first determination value ⁇ during the execution of the first inertia running, the first inertia is executed. When the travel is terminated and (e) the second required inertial travel
- the first determination value ⁇ and the second determination value ⁇ are both set according to the gradient of the road surface. It is characterized in that a small value is determined in comparison with.
- the first determination value ⁇ and the second determination value ⁇ are both set according to a road surface gradient, and the vehicle has an upward gradient. Is characterized in that a large value is determined as compared with a flat road.
- a fourth aspect of the present invention in the vehicle travel control apparatus according to any one of the first to third aspects of the present invention, when the required brake amount becomes equal to or greater than the first determination value ⁇ during the first inertial traveling, The vehicle is shifted to inertial running, and when the required brake amount becomes equal to or greater than the second determination value ⁇ during the second inertial running, the engine brake running is resumed.
- a sixth aspect of the present invention is the vehicle travel control apparatus according to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention.
- the first inertial traveling disconnects the engine from the wheel and stops supplying fuel to the engine.
- the second inertia traveling is a neutral inertia traveling that operates by supplying fuel to the engine in a state where the engine is separated from the wheel. To do.
- the engine In the neutral coasting mode, the engine is operated by fuel supply, so the fuel efficiency is worse than that in free-run coasting mode.
- the engine braking force is almost zero because the engine is disconnected from the wheels.
- the distance traveled by the vehicle becomes longer and the frequency of re-acceleration decreases, so that the fuel consumption can be improved as a whole compared to engine braking.
- a seventh aspect of the present invention is the travel control device for a vehicle according to any one of the first to fifth aspects of the present invention.
- the first inertial travel disconnects the engine from the wheel and stops supplying fuel to the engine.
- the crankshaft In the cylinder idle inertia running, the crankshaft is driven and rotated according to the vehicle speed or the like, but when the piston is stopped, the engine braking force is reduced by the amount of loss due to the pumping action (rotation resistance). Further, even when the intake / exhaust valve is stopped in the closed state or the open state, the loss due to the pumping action is reduced as compared with the case where the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed in synchronization with the crankshaft, and the engine braking force is reduced.
- the brake booster is activated by the pumping action of these cylinders. Negative pressure is supplied to the brake, and the braking force can be amplified.
- both the first inertial traveling that travels with the engine stopped as the inertial traveling and the second inertial traveling that travels while rotating the engine are executed, and the engine stops rotating.
- the first inertia traveling that travels in this manner is terminated when the required brake amount becomes equal to or larger than the first determination value ⁇ . For this reason, when the rotation of the engine is restored, a braking force amplifying action is appropriately obtained by the brake booster, and the required braking amount reaches the first determination value ⁇ while securing the vehicle braking force by the brake operation. Since the first inertia traveling is executed and the engine rotation is stopped, an excellent fuel efficiency improvement effect is obtained.
- the brake booster amplifies the braking force appropriately by the engine rotation.
- fuel efficiency superior to that of engine braking can be obtained while securing the vehicle braking force by the brake operation.
- the first inertial traveling in which excellent fuel efficiency is obtained by traveling with the engine stopped, is executed until the required brake amount reaches the first determination value ⁇ , and the traveling is performed while the engine is rotated.
- the second inertial travel in which the braking force amplification effect by the brake booster is appropriately obtained is executed until the second determination value ⁇ larger than the first determination value ⁇ is reached.
- the fuel efficiency can be further improved as a whole while appropriately securing the vehicle braking force by the brake operation.
- the first determination value ⁇ and the second determination value ⁇ are both smaller values than the flat road (substantially horizontal road surface) when the vehicle is descending.
- the first inertial running is performed.
- the braking force amplifying action by the brake booster can be quickly obtained, and the second inertial traveling can be quickly terminated, so that a large engine braking force by the engine braking can be quickly obtained.
- a large vehicle braking force can be ensured on a downward slope.
- the first determination value ⁇ and the second determination value ⁇ are both larger values when compared with a flat road (substantially horizontal road surface) in the case of an ascending slope. Since the request is relatively small, the travel distance by the first inertia traveling or the second inertia traveling is increased while the vehicle braking force by the brake operation is secured, and the fuel consumption is further improved.
- the required brake amount becomes equal to or greater than the first determination value ⁇ during the first inertia traveling
- the second inertia traveling is performed, and the required brake amount during the second inertia traveling is the second determination value.
- it becomes ⁇ or more it will return to engine brake travel, and it will be possible to obtain the braking force amplification effect by the brake booster according to the required brake amount, and also to obtain a large engine brake force by engine brake travel Therefore, the fuel consumption can be further improved while the vehicle braking force is appropriately secured.
- the fifth aspect of the invention not only returns to engine braking when the brake demand amount becomes equal to or greater than the second determination value ⁇ during the second inertia traveling, but also the brake request amount during the first inertia traveling is the first determination value. Even when the value exceeds ⁇ , the engine brake driving is resumed, so that a large engine braking force due to engine braking and an increase in the braking force by the brake booster associated with the engine rotation can be obtained quickly. Can be secured appropriately.
- a sixth aspect of the invention is a case where free-run inertia traveling is executed as the first inertia traveling and neutral inertia traveling is executed as second inertia traveling, and the seventh invention is a free-run inertia traveling as the first inertia traveling. And the cylinder inertia coasting is performed as the second inertia traveling. In both cases, the engine braking force becomes smaller than the engine braking traveling, and the traveling distance by the inertia traveling becomes longer and the fuel consumption is improved. Can be made.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明が好適に適用される車両用駆動装置10の骨子図に、制御系統の要部を併せて示した概略構成図である。車両用駆動装置10は、燃料の燃焼で動力を発生するガソリンエンジンやディーゼルエンジン等の内燃機関であるエンジン12を駆動力源として備えており、そのエンジン12の出力は自動変速機16から差動歯車装置18を介して左右の車輪20に伝達される。エンジン12と自動変速機16との間には、ダンパ装置やトルクコンバータ等の動力伝達装置が設けられているが、駆動力源として機能するモータジェネレータを配設することもできる。
前記実施例では第2の惰性走行としてニュートラル惰性走行を実行するが、図9に示すように、そのニュートラル惰性走行の代わりに気筒休止惰性走行を実行するようにしても良い。すなわち、前記ニュートラル惰性走行手段56の代わりに気筒休止惰性走行手段を設け、気筒休止惰性走行が実行されるようにする。気筒休止惰性走行は、クラッチC1の係合状態を維持してエンジン12と車輪20とを連結したまま、エンジン12に対する燃料供給を停止(フューエルカットF/C)するとともに、前記エンジン制御装置30の気筒休止装置により複数の気筒の中の一部(例えば半分)の気筒の吸排気弁が何れも閉弁状態となる位置で停止させる。この場合、クランク軸が車速Vや自動変速機16のギヤ段に応じて被駆動回転させられるが、吸排気弁が閉弁状態で停止させられるため、クランク軸に同期して開閉させられる場合に比較してポンピング作用によるロスが小さくなり、エンジンブレーキ走行よりもエンジンブレーキ力が低減される。これにより惰性走行による走行距離が長くなり、燃費が向上する。また、複数の気筒の一部の気筒が休止させられるだけで、残りの気筒はクランク軸に同期して吸排気弁が開閉させられるため、それ等の気筒によるポンピング作用でブレーキブースタ42に負圧が供給され、ブレーキ操作力Brkの増幅作用が得られる。
