PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To maintain an air-fuel ratio to the vicinity of a target air-fuel ratio even in case of abnormality in an action angle sensor, when a learning processing relating to an integral item of an air-fuel ratio feedback correction value is performed for every area of the action angle. SOLUTION: The air-fuel ratio control device of the internal combustion engine is equipped with a variable valve mechanism, and a suction amount of air is adjusted by the adjustment of the action angle of a suction valve. The operating range of the action angle is divided into two areas of a small area and a large area, and the learning values (LearnL, LearnS) relating to the integral item of the feedback correction value Vafsfb are individually set for every area. The learning value is individually renewed for the area (selection area) including the detection value of the action angle sensor. The learning value Learn for controlling used for calculating the feedback correction value Vafsfb is calculated by interpolating the LearnL, LearnS based on the detection value. In case of abnormality in the action angle sensor, energization to the variable valve mechanism is turned off, the action angle of the suction valve is fixed, and "the selection area" is fixed to the small area. The learning value Learn for controlling is calculated by interpolating the LearnL and LearnS, based on the minimum value Tmin of the action angle. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an abnormality determination device for a variable operating angle mechanism, detecting the abnormality of the variable operating angle mechanism of an internal combustion engine with a high degree of accuracy. SOLUTION: This abnormality determination device for the variable operating angle mechanism includes the variable operating angle mechanism 12, a control shaft 14, and an actuator moving the control shaft 14. The variable operating angle mechanism 12 enlarges the operating angle of an intake valve 10 arranged in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine when the control shaft 14 is moved in the predetermined direction, and reduces the operating angle of the intake valve 10 when the control shaft 14 is moved in the direction opposite to the predetermined direction. A rotation sensor 26 detects rotation of the actuator. A position sensor 28 detects the position of the control shaft 14. An ECU 50 acquires a leaning value based on a relative relation between output of the rotation sensor 26 and output of the position sensor 28. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an internal combustion engine provided with a catalyst having capability to store oxygen arranged in an exhaust passage, appropriately determining the capability of the catalyst to store oxygen while suppressing deterioration of fuel consumption. SOLUTION: This control device for the internal combustion includes the internal combustion engine 10 having a plurality of cylinders, the catalyst 32 arranged in the exhaust passage 22 of the internal combustion engine 10 and having the capability to store oxygen, and a variable valve train 30 for variably setting the operating angle of a valve. When measuring the capability of the catalyst 32 to store oxygen, it is determined (step S204) whether or not a target operating angle is smaller than a lower limit of the operating angle with no variations in an air-fuel ratio between the cylinders. When the target operating angle is smaller than the lower limit, the target operating angle is varied to the lower limit (step S206). Preferably, after the actual operating angle is varied to the lower limit, measurement of the capability of the catalyst 32 to store oxygen is started (step S210). COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device for an internal combustion engine, accurately controlling an air fuel ratio to a target value at the time of returning from fuel cut in deceleration, regardless of a state of exhaust gas recirculation quantity at the time of such returning, in the internal combustion engine for performing quantity increase control of the exhaust gas recirculation quantity during fuel cut in deceleration. SOLUTION: During execution of fuel cut in deceleration, quantity increase control of EGR gas is performed by changing a valve overlap period. When valve overlap quantity at the time of returning from the fuel cut is below a predetermined determination value X, intake asynchronous injection is selected (injection end time 60° BTDC). In contrast, when the valve overlap quantity at the time of the returning exceeds the predetermined determination value X, intake synchronous injection is selected (injection end time 30° ATDC).
