Abstract

A control method of a boosting apparatus includes: driving the boosting apparatus according to driving maps pre-input to a controller, judging driving conditions of an engine, selecting a driving map pre-input to the controller and reflecting the driving conditions in the selected driving map, correcting the driving maps of the boosting apparatus based on the selected driving map and driving the boosting apparatus based on the corrected driving maps, and confirming whether variations in operating amounts of the boosting apparatus are generated and, when the variations are confirmed, correcting the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus and reflecting the corrected operating amounts in the driving maps. In particular, the controller controls an EGR valve according to driving conditions through operation of the boosting apparatus and thus controls the amount of EGR gas supplied to the engine.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method of a boosting apparatus, comprising:
driving the boosting apparatus according to driving maps pre-input to a controller, the boosting apparatus including a supercharger and a turbocharger;
judging driving conditions of an engine, selecting a driving map pre-input to the controller and reflecting the driving conditions in the selected driving map by the controller;
correcting the driving maps of the boosting apparatus based on the selected driving map, in which the driving conditions are reflected, and driving the boosting apparatus based on the corrected driving maps by the controller; and
confirming whether variations in operating amounts of the boosting apparatus are generated and, upon confirming that variations in operating amounts are generated, correcting the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus and reflecting the corrected operating amounts in the driving maps by the controller,
wherein the supercharger is disposed in an exhaust gas circulation line, and the controller is configured to control an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve according to the driving conditions through operation of the supercharger and the turbocharger and thus control an amount of EGR gas supplied to the engine.

2. The control method according to claim 1 , wherein the supercharger and the turbocharger are simultaneously controlled.

3. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein, in the correcting the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus, a corrected value of an operating amount of the turbocharger is reflected in a driving map of the supercharger and thus an operating amount of the supercharger is controlled.

4. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to correct an operating amount of the supercharger by executing inverse operation of the amount of EGR gas based on an amount of oxygen in exhaust gas detected by a detection unit and thus control an open degree of the EGR valve.

5. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein, in the correcting the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus, the controller is configured to receive a boost pressure of the turbocharger, compare the boost pressure with a reference value pre-input to the controller, and correct an operating amount of a compressor of the turbocharger.

6. The control method according to claim 5 , in the step of correcting the turbocharger, when the correction of the turbocharger is not required, the turbocharger is continuously driven at a same RPM.

7. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein, in the driving the boosting apparatus, the controller is configured to control the supercharger based on an amount of air detected by a detection unit.

8. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein, in the driving the boosting apparatus, the controller is configured to confirm whether or not the supercharger is driven and control the supercharger according to the driving maps pre-input to the controller, upon confirming that the supercharger is driven.

9. The control method according to claim 2 , wherein the EGR gas introduced into the engine is supplied through the exhaust gas circulation line passing through the supercharger from an end of a regenerative device.

10. The control method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the correcting the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus, the controller, when a difference in the amounts of EGR gas through control of the EGR valve is generated, is configured to correct the operating amounts of the boosting apparatus.
