[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 8 , the first embodiment will be described below.

[0025] First, refer to figure 1 , explains the engine control system. An air cleaner 13 is arranged upstream of the intake pipe 12 of the internal combustion engine 11 . Downstream of the air cleaner 13 is provided an air flow meter 14 that detects an intake flow rate. The engine 11 is an inline four-cylinder engine. Downstream of the air flow meter 14 are provided a throttle valve 15 driven by a DC motor and a throttle position sensor 16 that detects a throttle position.

[0026] A buffer tank 17 including an intake pressure sensor 18 is provided downstream of the throttle valve 15 . The intake air pressure sensor 18 detects intake air pressure. An intake manifold 19 that introduces air into each cylinder of the engine 11 is provided downstream of the surge tank 17 , and a fuel injector 20 that injects fuel is provided near an intake port of the intake manifold 19 of each cylinder. When t...

[0099] refer to Figures 9 to 13 , the second embodiment will be described below. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same parts and components as in the first embodiment, and the same description will not be repeated.

[0100] Depending on the engine driving state, the air-fuel ratio may not be estimated.

[0101] According to the second embodiment, the ECU 39 executes Figure 9 to Figure 11 Each routine shown in . When performing cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio control, a learning value is calculated with respect to each cylinder based on a correction coefficient for each cylinder. This learned value for each cylinder is stored in backup memory such as backup RAM and EEPROM. The cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio control is performed in view of the learned value stored in the memory. ECU 39 serves as a learning section and a learning value reflection section.

Abstract

A first exhaust system model and a second exhaust system model are defined in view of differences in detectability of an air-fuel ratio sensor (36) with respect to each cylinder. The first exhaust system model outputs the air-fuel ratio at the confluence portion (34a) based on the air-fuel ratio in the cylinder. The second exhaust system model outputs the detection value of the exhaust gas sensor (36) based on the air-fuel ratio in the converging portion. The confluent portion air-fuel ratio estimating section (47) based on the second exhaust system model design estimates the air-fuel ratio at the confluent portion. A combustion air-fuel ratio estimation section (48) designed based on the first exhaust system model estimates a combustion air-fuel ratio in each cylinder.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a controller for an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders. The controller has a function that can estimate the air-fuel ratio in each cylinder based on the detection value of the exhaust gas sensor arranged in the converging portion of the exhaust gas. Background technique [0002] It is known that the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine is detected by an exhaust sensor (for example, an air-fuel ratio sensor), and the fuel injection amount is feedback-controlled so that the detection value of the exhaust sensor coincides with a target air-fuel ratio. In the case of a multi-cylinder engine, variations in the amount of intake air may occur between cylinders, possibly due to differences in the shape of each intake manifold and / or changes in intake valve operation. In the case of a multipoint injection (MPI) system, due to individual differences in fuel injector...
