PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel pressure control device for a high pressure fuel injection system to surely decrease a fuel pressure in pressure accumulating piping while avoiding adverse influence on the high pressure fuel injection system. SOLUTION: Injectors 12 for injecting fuel to combustion chambers of respective cylinders #1-#4 of an engine 10 are connected to a common rail 20, and high pressure fuel is fed from the common rail 20. A relief valve 22 consisting of a solenoid valve is arranged at the common rail 20. An electronic control device (ECU) 60 detects fuel pressure in the common rail 20, and when the fuel pressure is higher than a target fuel pressure and a difference therebetween is large, a fuel pressure in the common rail 20 is reduced through opening drive of the relief valve 22. The ECU 60 sets an opening timing of the relief valve 22 such that the opening timing is prevented from overlapping with the opening period of the injector 12, a detecting timing of the fuel pressure, and the fuel pressure feed period of a fuel pump 30.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress impairment of the exhaust gas control function of exhaust gas controlling catalyst by excessive rise of the catalyst temperature even when the engine speed of an internal combustion engine is reduced in a state of much deposition of particulate matters while recycling the catalyst. SOLUTION: An exhaust gas control apparatus includes a second catalyst converter 35 having an exhaust gas control function in an exhaust passage 14 in an engine 10. The second catalyst converter 35 is recovered by burning and removing particulate matters deposited in the second catalyst converter 35. In the exhaust gas control apparatus, when the engine 10 (a vehicle) is decelerated while an amount of the deposited particulate matters is large during recovery of the catalyst, an increase in the amount of intake air in a combustion chamber 13 over the small amount of the deposited particulate matters is suppressed by operating an intake throttle valve 18 to the closing side or the like.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel injection control device of a diesel engine, capable of reducing a torque fluctuation, when switching a combustion mode, without having influence on the other control system. SOLUTION: After changing a request value of an intake system/EGR system control quantity (the air-fuel ratio, an EGR ratio, and a suction air quantity) to a value of a combustion mode after switching together with updating of a request combustion mode mdcb, an injection combustion mode mdcbd is updated by waiting for a lapse of a delay period. A request value of target injection pressure pc and the main injection timing ainjm, and a request value of a torque correction quantity qdm, a waviness correction quantity qdi, and a cylinder internal pressure correction quantity qdp being an injection quantity correction quantity to a main injection quantity command value qfinm, are updated to the value of the combustion mode after switching. Until a gradually changing period passes, the target injection pressure pc, the main injection timing ainjm, the torque correction quantity qdm, the waviness correction quantity qdi, and the cylinder internal pressure correction quantity qdp, are gradually changed, while uniformly keeping these gradually changing degrees toward the respective request values of the combustion mode after switching.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent deterioration of combustibility at low operating temperatures in an internal combustion engine performing low temperature combustion. SOLUTION: Implementation of low temperature combustion is prohibited (S108) when cooling water temperature is blow cooling water determination temperature (NO in S104). In addition, the cooling water determination temperature is set higher as intake air temperature becomes lower, Therefore, since both the cooling water determination temperature and the intake air temperature can be considered, operating temperature conditions determining whether or not combustibility is deteriorated during low temperature combustion is accurately judged only by comparing the cooling water temperature with the cooling water determination temperature. This can effectively prevent deterioration of the combustibility of the engine. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

The allowable upper limit value UL is preferably substantially 10%, and the allowable lower limit value LL is preferably substantially 40%. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the volume of sulfate emitted into the atmosphere. SOLUTION: A particulate filter is arranged in the exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine where the air-fuel ratio of air fuel mixture burnt in a combustion chamber is kept lean, and an NOx catalyst is supported on a particulate filter. If engine back pressure P representing the volume of fine particles accumulated on the particulate filter becomes higher than a first threshold P1, the temperature of the particulate filter is increased to a targeted temperature TPM, and the oxidation of the fine particles is performed to hold them at the targeted temperature TPM for a targeted time tPM, while keeping lean the air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas flowing into the particulate filter. The volume of SOx that has been accumulated in the NOx catalyst without forming sulfate is determined. When the volume of SOx that has been accumulated in the NOx catalyst without forming sulfate is large, the targeted temperature TPM is made to be lower, whereas the targeted time tPM is made to be longer compared to that when it is small.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize accurate correction (correction of main injection quantity and main injection timing) independently of a change of an operating condition and environmental condition of a diesel engine. SOLUTION: In injection quantity correction control for correcting main injection quantity to be fluctuated by the influence of pressure pulsation generated with pilot injection, an injection interval from the pilot injection to the main injection is divided with a cycle of the pressure pulsation to compute a dimension-free interval. Correction quantity (injection quantity and injection timing) in relation to a dimension-free interval is obtained on the basis of a correction map, and the correction quantity is added to the main injection quantity and the main injection timing computed on the basis of operating condition of the diesel engine to decide the final main injection quantity and the final main injection timing. In this injection quantity correction control, since the correction map formed in consideration of transmitting speed of the pressure pulsation is used when obtaining correction quantity of the main injection, the main injection is accurately corrected independently of a change of operating condition and environmental condition.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the controllability of an injection pressure control while maintaining an excellent controllability of fuel injection amount control. SOLUTION: A fuel injection controller comprises a rail pressure sensor 43 and an electronic control unit(ECU) 52. The ECU 52 converts a common rail pressure (analog signal) detected by a rail pressure sensor 43 into a digital signal through A/D converters 53 and 55, and controls an injection amount and an injection pressure based on the rail pressure after the conversion. The ECU 52, when controlling the injection amount, calculates an injection interval based on an injection amount instruction value and the rail pressure, and injects fuel from an injector 23 for that period. In the injection pressure control, a supply pump 27 is controlled so that the rail pressure is converged to a target pressure. In addition, an A/D conversion for calculating the rail pressure for injection amount control and an A/D conversion for calculating the rail pressure for injection pressure control are performed at different times.
