PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To promptly boost a supercharging pressure while preventing overshoot of exhaust pressure during accelerating operation.SOLUTION: An engine 10 includes a VVT (variable valve timing system) 32 for setting a phase of an exhaust valve 30 variable; and a supercharger 34 which is variable capacity. An ECU 60 measures acceleration time t required for the exhaust pressure to boost from a state before the accelerating operation to a threshold, when the accelerating operation has started. The shorter the acceleration time t is, the later valve-opening period of the exhaust valve 30 is. As a result, the overshoot of the exhaust pressure is prevented, and thereby the ECU 60 decrease nozzle opening of the supercharger 34 at the accelerating operation and promptly boosts the supercharging pressure. Accordingly, the efficiency of supercharging is enhanced and accelerating performance is improved, while boost of the exhaust pressure is moderately prevented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine more effectively utilizing HC adsorbed by an HC adsorbing catalyst after catalyst light-off to increase a temperature increasing effect of a catalyst floor temperature due to catalyst combustion of the HC adsorbing catalyst and activate an exhaust-gas purification catalyst in an early stage using the temperature-increased exhaust gas, and thereby improving a purification performance of the exhaust gas. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device for the internal combustion engine uses fuel supplied from a fuel tank 16 by a fuel injection valve 21 as fuel for combustion inside an engine cylinder, and uses a reducing agent adding valve 22 for reducing NOx. When it is before the catalyst light-off of a NOx purification catalyst 43a and an exhaust-gas flow rate is less than a predetermined value, the purification device makes a discharging amount of HC in the exhaust gas to be in a greater amount condition to positively adsorb HC by the HC adsorbing catalyst. Therefore, the catalyst floor temperature is rapidly increased by the catalyst combustion after the catalyst light-off of the HC adsorbing catalyst, a warm-up performance of the NOx purification catalyst 43a is improved, and a NOx purification performance is improved.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optimally adjust the combustion of an internal combustion engine according to a working state. SOLUTION: Fuel injecting valves 10a to 10d are provided in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine 1, which carry out main fuel injection and auxiliary fuel injection before the main fuel injection. An electronic control unit (ECU) 30 sets up auxiliary fuel injection timing so as to make a delay in ignition of fuel of the auxiliary injection amount in practically working equal to a delay in ignition in an engine normal working state, and sets up the maximum fuel amount in a range where combustion can be finished between the auxiliary injection timing and main injection timing as the auxiliary injection amount. Therefore, the fuel of the auxiliary injection is completely burned by a start of the main injection, so that a combustion state of the fuel of the main injection is improved, and the generation of exhaust white fumes and the like is prevented.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine, capable of preventing an air-fuel ratio from shifting on a rich-air-fuel-ratio side. SOLUTION: The exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine is applied to an internal combustion engine having: first and second superchargers provided on an intake passage and an exhaust passage; and an intake switching valve and an exhaust switching valve which switch operation modes between a mode of operating both the first and the second superchargers and a mode of operating only the first supercharger. Such an internal combustion engine is also called a twin-turbo system. The exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine includes: a NOx storage reduction catalyst which is disposed on the exhaust passage; and a reducing agent adding valve which is disposed on the exhaust passage on an upstream side of the NOx storage reduction catalyst. The exhaust emission control device for an internal combustion engine also includes a determination means and a control means. The determination means determines, according to the opening of the exhaust switching valve, whether a quantity of change in a supercharging pressure per predetermined time period is equal to or more than a predetermined value. The control means prohibits the reducing agent adding valve from adding a reducing agent, if the quantity of change in the supercharging pressure is equal to or more than the predetermined value.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of continuously performing the regeneration of a filter and the recovery thereof from SOx poisoning in a range where white smoke is not generated in an exhaust emission control device of an internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: This exhaust emission control device of the internal combustion engine for recovering the function of an exhaust emission control means by supplying a reducer to the exhaust emission control means comprises a navigation system detecting the present position of a vehicle and an internal combustion engine stop prediction means predicting whether the internal combustion engine is stopped or not based on the present position of the vehicle obtained by the navigation system. By this, when the prediction means predicts that the internal combustion engine is stopped while the function of the exhaust emission control means is recovered, it stops the supply of the reducer to the exhaust emission control means (S106).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an internal combustion engine capable of carrying out auxiliary fuel injection under appropriate setting and securing lubrication of a cylinder wall surface simultaneously. SOLUTION: This engine is provided with a fuel injection valve 2 injecting fuel in a cylinder 1, an oil injection part 4 injecting oil for cooling to at least one of a back surface of a piston 3 and an inside of the cylinder 1, and an injection control part 5 making the fuel injection valve 2 carry out main fuel injection and post fuel injection injecting with delay after the main fuel injection and controlling operation and stop of an oil injection part 4. The injection control part 5 stops oil injection by the oil injection part 4 for a predetermined period with synchronizing with post fuel injection timing. Temperatures of the piston and the cylinder wall which heretofore have been cooled by oil injection rises as oil injection is stopped. Since post fuel injection in the cylinder 1 is carried out under this condition, fuel evaporates quickly in the atmosphere of raised temperature of the inside of the cylinder and adhesion on the cylinder wall surface can be suppressed.
