Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To restrain delay of response at the starting of a vehicle loaded with the internal combustion engine in the case where a request load to the internal combustion engine is large. SOLUTION: This internal combustion engine 10 is a spark ignition type internal combustion engine, and a first ignition plug 12 1 and a second ignition plug 12 2 are provided in the same combustion chamber 11b. At the ordinary start of the internal combustion engine 10, one of the first ignition plug 12 1 and the second ignition plug 12 2 is used to perform ignition. When the request load to the internal combustion engine 10 is more than a regulated value, both of the the first ignition plug 12 1 and the second ignition plug 12 2 are used to start the internal combustion engine 10.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooling control device for an internal combustion engine capable of avoiding overheat which damages the internal combustion engine by appropriately suppressing heat generation of the internal combustion engine when cooling power is insufficient. SOLUTION: An ECU detects the water temperature thw of cooling water (S1), compares the water temperature thw0 Δt seconds before with the present water temperature thw, and determines whether or not Δt=(thw-thw0)/Δt0, (thw+Δt×t) > threshold ts1 (S2), and further determines whether or not water temperature thw > threshold ts2 (S3). In the case of exceeding the threshold ts1, ts2, an engine check lamp is lighted as emergency control (S4), throttle opening is compared with a threshold d (S5, S6), the throttle opening is lowered to the threshold d (S7), and the upper limit of the throttle opening is limited to the threshold d (S8). In addition, an electric W/P and an electric fan are operated to the maximum. With this emergency control (S4-S9), the engine is cooled to avoid overheat. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control an engine actuation characteristics changing means, capable of changeably controlling an intake compression ratio and locking such an actuation condition as to increase the intake compression ratio by a locking means, so as to cope with generation of undesirable locking for intake compression ratio increasing. SOLUTION: It is determined if the actuation condition is locked by the locking means when the actuation condition to increase the intake compression ratio is not to be formed in the engine actuation characteristic changing means or not. When it is determined as locked, countermeasures for reducing uncomfortableness due to increase of engine vibration by the locking are taken.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To rapidly change sure engine operational characteristics and save the power consumption for the operation required for the change by reasonably changing the characteristics by an engine operational characteristic changing means, in changing the characteristics at non-operation of an engine in such a way that the intake compression ratio is increased before the cranking when the engine is in a cold state. SOLUTION: Displacement of the means to a predetermined position is carried out by the control of drive force (the intensity of the driving force and its operational time). COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To more suitably execute output addition control for promoting warming up according to operation environment of individual automobiles and operation individuality of a driver considering influence of the operation environment and operation individuality of the drivers on warming up promotion control from a cold condition of an engine at a time of operation start of a hybrid vehicle. SOLUTION: Possibility that a condition where vehicle drive load becomes predetermined value or more is satisfied during a predetermined period of time after start of vehicle operation is estimated. When the possibility of the condition is estimated, automatic control to increase output of an internal combustion engine for promoting warming up after engine cold start is not executed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of preventing lowering of driving force in a reverse direction caused by performing rich spike control when reversing. SOLUTION: An internal combustion engine control device is provided for a hybrid vehicle having an internal combustion engine capable of lean combustion and comprising an NOx storage reduction catalyst which holds NOx in exhaust gas when an exhaust air-fuel ratio is lean, and reduces and eliminates the held NOx when the exhaust air-fuel ratio is a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio or rich. When the shift position of the hybrid vehicle is a reverse position, the execution of rich spike control of temporarily enriching the exhaust air-fuel ratio to reduce NOx held in the NOx storage reduction catalyst is forbidden. Alternatively, in the case of the reverse position, lean combustion operation is forbidden. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve overall performance including amenity and environmental performance, in a hybrid vehicle. SOLUTION: A hybrid system 10 calculates torque of an engine 200 from torque reaction of a motor generator MG1. A fuel consumption rate calculating part 100c calculates an instantaneous fuel consumption rate in the engine 200 on the basis of such the calculated engine torque, a fuel injection quantity and an engine speed. An operation line updating part 100d updates an operation line by performing operation point learning processing on the basis of this calculated fuel consumption rate. In this case, the operation line updating part 100d excludes an operation point being a predetermined value or more in an exhaust quantity of NOx from an updating object of the operation line, and updates the operation line in a range of becoming less than the predetermined value in the exhaust quantity of the NOx.
