    摘要: A control apparatus for a vehicle drive unit including a control structure of a hierarchical type having a demand generation level, a mediation level, and a control variable setting level and a signal is transmitted in one direction from a higher level of hierarchy to a lower level of hierarchy. The demand generation level includes demand output elements for each capability. The mediation level includes mediation elements, each corresponding to a classified category of demands. Each of the mediation elements collects demand values of the category of which the mediation elements are in charge and performs mediation according to a rule to arrive at a single demand value. The control variable setting level includes an adjuster portion adjusting each of the mediated demand values based on a relationship between each other and control variable calculation elements calculating a control variable of each of a plurality of actuators based on the adjusted demand value.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control apparatus of an internal combustion engine according to the present invention is provided with oxygen storage amount estimating means, downstream exhaust air-fuel ratio detecting means, maximum oxygen storage amount estimating means, and air-fuel ratio target setting means. The oxygen storage amount estimating means estimates an oxygen storage amount of an exhaust purifying catalyst, based on a history of an oxygen adsorption/desorption amount of the exhaust purifying catalyst located on an exhaust path. The downstream exhaust air-fuel ratio detecting means is located downstream of the exhaust purifying catalyst and detects an exhaust air-fuel ratio downstream of the exhaust purifying catalyst. The maximum oxygen storage amount estimating means estimates a maximum oxygen storage amount, based on an oxygen storage amount estimate when the exhaust air-fuel ratio detected is a predetermined air-fuel ratio. This permits effective utilization of oxygen occlusion capability of the exhaust purifying catalyst and improvement in exhaust purification performance.

    摘要: In an exhaust gas purification device for an internal combustion engine, a three-way catalyst and a NO.sub.X occluding and reducing catalyst (a NORC) are disposed in the exhaust gas passage of an engine in this order from the upstream side. A first air-fuel ratio sensor is disposed in the exhaust gas passage between the three-way catalyst and the NORC, and a second air-fuel ratio sensor is disposed in the exhaust gas passage downstream of the NORC. An engine electronic control unit (ECU) changes the operating air-fuel ratio of the engine from a lean air-fuel ratio to a rich air-fuel ratio and a rich air-fuel ratio to a lean air-fuel ratio in order to evaluate the abilities of the three-way catalyst and the NORC. The ECU evaluates the catalytic abilities based on the output of the first air-fuel ratio sensor when the engine air-fuel ratio is changed. Further, the ECU evaluates the catalytic ability and the NO.sub.X absorbing capacity of the NORC based on the outputs of the first and the second air-fuel ratio sensor when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changed. The evaluation of the abilities of both the three-way catalyst and the NORC in one successive changing operation of the engine operating air-fuel ratio is based on only the outputs of the first and the second air-fuel ratio sensor.

    摘要: This invention is intended to ensure that a control device for a vehicle drive unit is capable of realizing desired torque by making the main-actuator and sub-actuator collaborate adequately while holding the interposition of the sub-actuator as low as possible. For this end, a future target of torque that is going to be output from the engine and a realization timing of the future target are taken as reservation information for reserving engine torque regulation. Next, the required period, which is required to realize the future target when a main-actuator (a throttle) is operated to regulate the torque, is computed from a current engine operating condition. Then, the operation of the main-actuator is started at the timing preceding the realization timing by the required period for realizing the future target. In parallel with that, a sub-actuator (an ignition system) is operated to cancel out a torque change induced by the operation of the main-actuator during the period from the start timing of the operation of the main-actuator to the realization timing.

    摘要: A NOx occluding member that occludes NOx when the air-fuel ratio is on the fuel-lean side is disposed in an engine exhaust passage. An NOx ammonia sensor is disposed in the engine exhaust passage downstream of the NOx occluding member. A surplus amount of a reducing agent that is not used to release NOx is determined from a change in the ammonia concentration detected by the NOx ammonia sensor when the air-fuel ratio is changed to the fuel-rich side so as to release the NOx from the NOx occluding member.

    摘要: A direct-injection internal combustion engine can smoothly switch and transition between a first operation mode and a second operation mode according to an operating condition of the engine. An engine control amount in the first operation mode is calculated differently from an engine control amount in the second operation mode. However, even if the engine control amount requires correction only in the second operation mode, calculation of a correction amount is made during the first operation mode as well. During a transition from the first operation mode to the second operation mode, the correction amount calculated during the first operation mode is taken into account in calculating an engine control amount. As the correction amount is already available at the time of transition, a suitable engine control amount can be immediately obtained.

    摘要: In an exhaust gas purification device for an internal combustion engine, a NOX occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed in the exhaust gas passage of an engine. The NOX occluding and reducing catalyst absorbs NOX in the exhaust gas when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is at a lean air-fuel ratio and releases and reduces NOX when the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is at a rich air-fuel ratio. The air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst is detected by an air-fuel ratio sensor disposed in the exhaust gas passage downstream of the catalyst. When the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the catalyst is changed from a rich air-fuel ratio to a lean air-fuel ratio, the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst stays at a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio before it changes to a lean air-fuel ratio. The length of the period in which the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing out from the catalyst stays at a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio corresponds to the magnitude of the ability of the NOX occluding and reducing catalyst as a reducing catalyst. Thus, by measuring the length of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio period of the exhaust gas flowing out from the NOX occluding and reducing catalyst, the ability of the NOX occluding and reducing catalyst as a reducing catalyst can be precisely evaluated.
