Consequently, evaporated fuel can be converted by the exhaust emission control catalyst 13 during engine stop. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To materialize both control of a difference in an air-fuel ratio between cylinders and control of torque fluctuation. SOLUTION: Respective combustion conditions of a plurality of cylinders with which an internal combustion engine is equipped are set by the following control executed in accordance with respective intake quantities of the plurality of cylinders. The cylinder having minimum intake quantity is taken as a reference cylinder. In the reference cylinder, fuel injection quantity is set which materializes a theoretical air-fuel ratio. In the other cylinders, an air-fuel ratio for generating the same torque as reference torque emitted by the reference cylinder is set in accordance with intake quantity of respective cylinders. In this setting, the air-fuel ratio in the specified area outside the theoretical air-fuel ratio (the air-fuel ratio belonging to an evasion area) is excluded. With respect to a cylinder unable to materialize a reference torque only by the air fuel ratio setting, ignition timing is corrected so as to control the difference with the reference torque. By doing so, both control of a difference in an air-fuel ratio between cylinders and control of torque fluctuation can be materialized even though there exists the difference between cylinders in the intake quantity.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve accuracy in estimation of catalyst temperature during stop in an internal combustion engine including a charge and exhaust mechanism capable of materializing valve overlap. SOLUTION: Temperature of the catalyst is estimated based on elapsed time after previous stop and overlap quantity at a time of previous stop. Part of air fuel mixture introduced into a cylinder from an intake port is discharged to an exhaust port without staying in the cylinder when overlap is being executed. Consequently, it is thought that exhaust gas temperature in this case is lower than a case that overlap is not executed, and that it is lower as overlap quantity is large. Consequently, accuracy of estimation can be improved by taking overlap quantity into account. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately determine an air intake considering a characteristic of each air intake amount adjusting mechanism in an internal combustion engine having a plurality of the mechanisms. SOLUTION: An air intake amount estimating part 14 estimates the air intake amount at the end of air intake to a combustion chamber before the end of air suction.

The each air intake amount adjusting mechanism respectively has time delay δ1, δ2 between the start of operation of the each mechanism and the time when the air intake amount starts to change. The air intake amount estimating part 14 calculates the air intake based on the predetermined command value to be output to the each mechanism at the end of the air suction and the time delay δ1, δ2 of the each mechanism.
