Next, FIG. 2 shows a whole controlling block diagram of one embodiment of the direct injection system engine controlling apparatus according to the present invention.

First of all, in a block 21 a target torque or a target air-fuel ratio of the operation conditions is requested according to an engine rotation number (Ne) of the engine 7 and an acceleration pedal opening degree being a driver's intention detected by the acceleration sensor 3.

Herein, the target torque is set as a target air-fuel ratio and, in the present invention, the target torque is set as a stratified combustion having an air-fuel ratio 40 (A/F=40) at an area of a low engine rotation number and a low engine load from an aspect taking a serious view of the fuel consumption or from an aspect regarding the fuel consumption as important.

Further, at a high engine load side, it is necessary to correspond a high engine output requirement requested by the driver. In the present invention, the target torque is set to have an air-fuel ratio 30 (A/F=30). In a high engine rotation number and high engine load area, the homogenous stoichiometric combustion area is set to protect the engine 7.

Next, in a block 22, the target torque or the target air-fuel ratio is determined and after that, from a control constant group corresponded to a respective target torque, a predetermined control constant search and determination is performed.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the control constant group selection is carried out by one selecting form a map, a constant and a table, for example, for use in the control unit 15. The map, the constant or the table has an injection pulse width Ti setting, a combustion injecting period time setting, and an ignition period time setting, each of which corresponds to the target air-fuel ratio, however it is not limited to these.

Next, in a block 23, under the basis of the target air-fuel ratio, a calculation about a necessary air flow amount and a calculation about a target throttle valve opening degree for attaining the necessary air flow amount for the engine 7 are carried out.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the target air-fuel ratio and a drive pulse width of the injector 9 at this target air-fuel ratio are determined, a target air flow amount Qf is determined under a following formula.

Qf=(A/F).times.(fuel amount) =(A/F).times.(pulse width))

An air flow amount (Qa) for passing through the throttle valve 5 is determined by an engine rotation number (Ne) and a throttle valve opening degree (=an opening area) at this air flow amount, a target throttle valve opening degree (TVO) is given as a function of a following formula.

TVO=f(Qa, Ne)

In a block 24, the throttle valve 5 is controlled by the throttle valve opening degree calculated by the block 23, at the same time an ignition control operation at the ignition period time determined by the block 22 and the fuel injection operation (the injector drive operation) at the injection period time are carried out.

The engine 7 is operated according to the combustion control and the ignition control in the block 24, as a result, the engine 7 generates a predetermined engine drive torque and a predetermined engine rotation number.

The construction stated in the above corresponds to a part of one problem of the present invention and by providing the plural control constant groups corresponding to the target torque or the target air-fuel ratio the engine control is carried out using the respective suitable control constant.

The above construction satisfies the requirements about the fuel consumption and the engine output etc.. The setting of the target torque or the target air-fuel ratio is constituted to optionally set by adapting the characteristics for the vehicle or the automobile.

Next, the construction about a part corresponding to another problem of the present invention will be explained.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a block 26 where an estimation for the engine combustion condition is carried out according to a surge index, and the engine combustion condition is detected under the basis of the engine rotation number.

According to the basis of the result of the detected combustion condition of the engine 7, in case that the control continuation of the throttle valve opening degree and the engine combustion condition is apt to worsen, in a block 27 a complementary coefficient is calculated. On the basis of the complementary coefficient the amendment of the target torque or the target air-fuel ratio is carried out, thereby the engine control is able to carry out under the stable operation condition.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, the stable index of the engine combustion is judged through the surge index Q, this will be explained in detail in a latter portion, however it is not limited to this method.

To arrange the above stated construction, as shown in FIG. 4, the selection of the target torque, the selection of the control constant group, the calculation of the target throttle valve opening degree, and the throttle valve control using the target throttle valve opening degree constitute a main routine.

Next, detail control contents of the respective block will be explained. First of all, the surge index Q in the block 26 will be explained referring to FIG. 5.

Firstly, the engine rotation number (Ne) is inputted into a band pass filter 101. A transmission frequency of the band pass filter is about 1 Hz-9 Hz, for example.

A signal passed through the band pass filter 101 becomes a component having only surge torque and this component is converted to an effective value by an effective value converting means 102. As stated in above, the surge index Q for indicating the surge-torque (a torque fluctuation for causing the vibration of the engine 7 in before and behind) is obtained.

In concretely, as shown in FIG. 6, an input of the engine rotation number (Ne) is carried out in a processing 61, an extraction of the frequency component under FFT processing is carried out in a processing 62, and further the band pass processing within a predetermined range is carried out in a processing 63, respectively.

A reversal FFT processing is carried out in a processing 64 and it returns again to a data on a time axis. Further, the effective value conversion execution is carried out in a processing 65 and the calculation of the surge index Q is carried out in a processing 66.

As to the surge index Q, as shown in FIG. 18, the judgment of the surge index Q is carried out by the provisions of a level of a surge index of Q.sub.low and a level of a surge index of Q.sub.hi.

This surge index judgment is performed, after the calculation of the surge index Q in the block 26 of FIG. 2, the judgment is carried out whether the control of the target throttle valve opening degree is carried out as leaving the stable condition or the complementary control of the control constant group is carried out judging by the worse combustion condition or the combustion aggravation condition.

Next, a detail engine control will be explained referring to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. In this engine control, the map is used as one of the control constant groups, namely the map variable control is carried out in this engine control.

As shown in FIG. 7, in a step 100, an existence of the change of the target torque or "YES" or "No" of the change of the target torque is judged. In case of "NO", the judgment of the combustion condition which will be explained in a latter portion is carried out.

In case of "YES" or in case of the existence of the change of the target torque, in a step 101 a flag judgment (F.sub.val) is carried out. This flag is one whether or not it is during a map variable control. The map variable control is a map complementary control which will be explained in a latter portion. In the map variable control, the map is not fixed but is varied by observing the engine condition.

In case of "NO", the map variable control is continuously carried out. This map variable control will be explained on and after FIG. 11. In case of "YES", in a step 102 the injection pulse width corresponded to the target torque, the injection period time corresponded to the target torque, and the ignition period time control constant corresponded to the target torque are searched and determined.

After that, the time number of the map variable control (D.sub.ump) and the control flag (F.sub.val) are cleared, the judgment routine finishes. This judgment routine is enable to down by a regular time sharing or an irregular time sharing.

Next, in the step 100, after "NO" judgment it enters into the control shown in FIG. 8. In a step 200, the flag judgment (F.sub.val) is carried out whether or not it is during the map variable control.

When it is under the map variable control, it enters into a control (2) shown in FIG. 8. Besides, in case that it is not under the map variable control, the level judgment of the surge index Q which is calculated in another routine is carried out in a step 201 and a step 202.

In case "YES" judgement in the step 201, the surge index Q has a level lower than a predetermined level such as the surge level of Q.sub.low (Q.ltoreq.Q.sub.low) and it indicates as the stable combustion condition. Thereby, the map variable routine is finished and as shown in FIG. 9 the throttle valve control is continuously carried out. This throttle valve control corresponds to the control operation shown in a line (a) in FIG. 2.

The basis of the throttle valve control of the embodiment according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 9, has a following construction.

In this construction shown in FIG. 9, against the target throttle valve opening degree of the throttle valve 5 requested by the block 23 shown in FIG. 2, a present actual throttle valve opening degree of the throttle valve 5 is read-in. A calculation about a deviation between the target throttle valve opening degree of the throttle valve 5 and the actual throttle valve opening degree of the throttle valve 5 is calculated.

After that a calculation about a current duty to the motor 20 for controlling the throttle valve 5 on the basis of the obtained deviation, and an output of the calculated current duty are carried out in the flow chart shown in FIG. 8.

In the surge index judgment in a step 202 shown in FIG. 8, in case of "YES" judgment the surge index Q exists between the surge index of Q.sub.low and the surge index of Q.sub.hi (Q.sub.low <Q.ltoreq.Q.sub.hi) and the combustion condition being somewhat worse or going to be worse as the combustion condition is detected.

On the other hand, in case of "NO" judgment the surge index Q exists more than the surge index of Q.sub.hi (Q>Q.sub.hi) and the worse combustion condition is indicated. In a step 203, and in a step 204, a number time of a variable D.sub.ump of the variable control is set with the surge level and at the same time a flag under the variable control is set.

By the setting of the above stated the variable D.sub.ump constant, the complementary control of the control constant group has a function of time, an abrupt constant change is avoided and as a result a smooth engine control is carried out.

Next, the contents of the flow chart shown in FIG. 10 will be explained. In a step 300, the map variable control is carried out, after that in a step 301, a discrimination of the variable D.sub.ump being the time function is carried out. Since a predetermined number of times of the above routine is passed and thereby this construction has the time function.

In a step 302, in case that the variable D.sub.ump number of times is not zero "0" (D.sub.ump =0) the processing is finished intact, however in case that the variable D.sub.ump number of times is zero "0" (D.sub.ump =0) the control flag (F.sub.check) is made zero "0" (F.sub.check =0) and this routine is finished.

The map variable control will be explained in detail referring to FIGS. 11-15.

Now, a case where the engine operation is carried out at a point of a "x" mark in FIG. 11 will be considered. At this time, when the surge index Q exceeds over the surge index of Q.sub.low or the surge index of Q.sub.hi, it shows that the combustion going to be worse at the "x" mark point.

Therefore, if the engine operation continues leaving as it is, a predetermined low fuel consumption is unable to be attained but in addition to this fact the driver is given an unpleasant feeling.

At the detected time point of the surge index of Q.sub.low or the surge index of Q.sub.hi, the engine operation is performed under the target torque, namely the target air-fuel ratio having a value of 40 (A/F=40).

However, in case of the worse combustion condition detection, as shown in FIG. 12, a variable area is given, and then the engine control is carried out wherein under a predetermined time the target torque is transferred to a higher torque side of the control constant in which the target torque has a value of 30 (A/F=30).

In FIG. 13, FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, it will be concretely explained using the injection pulse width Ti, for example.

In these figures, Ti40 indicates an injection pulse width for generating the target air-fuel ratio of a value of 40 (A/F=40) and Ti30 indicates an injection pulse width for generating the target air-fuel ratio of a value of 30 (A/F=30), respectively.

At a point of the target air-fuel ratio having the value of 40 (A/F=40), the operation is performed under the injection pulse width of 2 ms (Ti=2 ms). And in case of the adaption of the surge detection, passing through the predetermined variable area, it is transferred with a step form to the injection width pulse Ti (Ti=2.7 ms) which corresponds to the target air-fuel ratio having the value of 30 (A/F=30).

FIG. 16 shows a detail flow chart of one example of the map variable control according to the present invention.

In a step 400, a judgment of a calculation finish flag of a variable amount Ti.sub.val of the injection pulse width is carried out. At a first passing through time, in a step 401, a difference (.increment.Ti) between the injection pulse width Ti40 (the injection pulse width of generating the target air fuel ratio of (A/F=40) and the injection pulse width Ti30 (the injection pulse width of generating the target air fuel ratio of (A/F=30) is calculated.

In a step 402, one time routine, namely one time injection pulse width variable amount Ti.sub.val of the injection pulse width Ti is calculated. This injection pulse width variable amount Ti.sub.val is necessary to carry out at a first time calculation and, in a step 403, the control flag (F.sub.check) is set to not calculate a next time transfer.

In a step 404, a change of the injection pulse width Ti, which is outputted actually to the injector 9, is changed with the variable amount Ti.sub.val of the injection pulse width Ti to every this routine.

In the steps 203 and 204 of the flow chart shown in FIG. 8, the variable D.sub.ump being the variable variable is discriminated according to the worse condition of the surge index Q.

The above reason is that in case that the worse combustion condition is large, the variable control is finished and is transferred speedy to the high torque side and when the worse combustion condition is small the variable control is transferred slowly to the high torque side.

The control of the injection period time and the control of the ignition period time are carried out similarly to the above stated control of the injection pulse width.

FIG. 17 shows a leaning map of the target torque. At a "x" mark point in the leaning map when the above stated variable control is performed, the target torque in such an area is changed. A next time, in case that same operation condition occurs, the stable combustion can be down speedy.

According to the present invention, at the area for regarding a fuel consumption as important, at the area for reflecting the engine output by the driver's intention and at the area for considering a more high output and the engine protection, the controlling apparatus in the direct injection system engine can be realized in which the stratified combustion, the air-fuel ratio combustion corresponded to the normal lean burn combustion and the homogeneous stoichiometric combustion can be carried out stably and accurately, therefore the controlling apparatus suitable for the direct injection system engine can be provided.

Further, the controlling apparatus in the direct injection system engine can be provided wherein the stratified combustion condition can be maintained always with the stable combustion condition.
