Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce NOx emission by suitably controlling EGR gas quantity when an operation state is changed to slow acceleration operation during low temperature combustion and the combustion zone is shifted from a low temperature combustion zone to a normal combustion zone in an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: This system includes EGR control means introducing EGR gas by fully opening a high pressure EGR valve and reducing the opening of a throttle valve smaller than standard opening in the low temperature combustion zone A, and introducing the EGR gas by controlling the high pressure EGR valve to full open position and reducing the opening of a nozzle vane smaller than the standard opening in the normal combustion zone B in which engine load is heavier than that in the low temperature combustion zone A. In transition operation during which the operation state of the internal combustion engine is shifted from the low temperature combustion zone A to the normal combustion zone B, the low temperature combustion zone A is expanded to a high load side as compared with that during normal operation.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress deterioration in startability, misfire, a pump loss, and an increase in engine vibration, in an engine provided with a variable valve train leaning the position of an operating angle based on the maximum operating angle or minimum operating angle of an intake valve or an exhaust valve. SOLUTION: This control device 1 for the engine includes: an operating angle variable device 10 and a valve-opening phase variable mechanism 58 respectively varying the operating conditions of the intake valve 12 and/or the exhaust valve 13; and an ECU 50 learning the position of the operating angle based on the maximum operating angle or minimum operating angle of the intake valve 12 and/or the exhaust valve 13 of the operating angle variable device 10. After an ignition is in the ON position, the ECU 50 learns the position of the operating angle before the engine starts. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the deterioration in startability, misfire, pump loss, and increase in the engine vibration. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To properly adjust distribution of high pressure EGR gas and low pressure EGR gas, considering energy loss of an engine. SOLUTION: The control device for an internal combustion engine is suitably used for controlling a system having a turbocharger, a low pressure EGR device, and a high pressure EGR device. Concretely, an EGR distributing/adjusting means acquires a first energy loss in a case using the high pressure EGR device and a second energy loss in a case using the low pressure EGR device, and adjust the distribution of the EGR gas recirculated by the high pressure EGR device and the EGR gas recirculated by the low pressure EGR device, based on the first energy loss and the second energy loss. Worsening of the energy loss of the internal combustion engine is thereby suppressed to suppress degradation in fuel economy. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device of an internal combustion engine capable of sufficiently reducing emission of white smoke at the cold starting. SOLUTION: A turbocharger 22 has a variable nozzle 22c. An exhaust throttle valve 24 is provided in an exhaust passage 20 on the downstream side of a turbine of the turbocharger 22. After it is determined that the initial explosion in a diesel engine 10 occurs, each opening of the variable nozzle 22c and the exhaust throttle valve 24 is set to be the opening on the open side compared with that before the occurrence of the initial explosion. Further, the opening of the variable nozzle 22c after the diesel engine 10 reaches the state of complete explosion is set to be the opening on the closing side compared with the opening before reaching the state of complete explosion.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To satisfactorily reduce emission of white smoke during a cold engine state in a control device for an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: A sufficient valve overlap period is set while increasing back pressure by closing an exhaust throttle valve 24 and a variable nozzle 22c during start of a diesel engine 10. The valve overlap period is set to a period shorter than that during start after completion of start (after complete explosion determination). The exhaust throttle valve 24 is opened and opening of the variable nozzle 22c is reduced after the completion of start. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for improving combustion, and improving use durability, in a combustion chamber structure. SOLUTION: A top surface of a piston 3 except for a cavity 31 is flatly formed, and a clearance is arranged between the top surface of the piston 3 when the piston 3 is positioned in the top dead center and a valve under surface of an intake valve 9 and an exhaust valve 10 maximally lifted to the piston 3 side, and the inner bottom of the cavity 31 is formed of a conical surface 32 having the center most protruded to the cylinder head 4 side and a peripheral concave surface 33 recessed to the opposite side of a cylinder head 4 from the peripheral edge of the conical surface 32. A fuel spray F injected from a fuel injection nozzle 13 collides with the conical surface 32 when the piston 3 is positioned in the top dead center, and a collision position of the fuel spray F injected from the fuel injection nozzle 13 passes through a boundary 34 between the conical surface 32 and the peripheral concave surface 33 when the piston 3 moves before and after the top dead center.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal combustion engine control device exerting sufficient effects of filling rate improving control using exhaust pressure pulsation in an internal combustion engine with an EGR passage and an EGR cooler. SOLUTION: When a difference between intake manifold pressure detected by an intake pressure sensor 68 and exhaust manifold pressure at the valley of pulsation detected by an exhaust pressure sensor 70 is smaller than a predetermined value, a flow path change-over valve 48 provided on the upstream side of the EGR cooler 42 is changed over into a shut-off condition to shut off the EGR passage 40 and the EGR cooler 42 from an exhaust manifold 20, thereby reducing an exhaust system capacity. As a result, the amplitude of the pressure pulsation of the exhaust manifold is increased to increase the difference between the intake manifold pressure and the exhaust manifold pressure for a valve overlapping period. This sufficiently develops scavenging effects and sufficiently improves a filling rate (an air amount). COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
