PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a combustion control device of an internal combustion engine, which can adjust combustion starting timing of a fuel injected by main injection with high accuracy.SOLUTION: The combustion control device of the internal combustion engine calculates a volume and a temperature of a superimposing part of spray of fuel injected by pilot injection and spray of fuel injected by the main injection. When ignition timing deviates from target ignition timing due to insufficient volume of the superimposing part, the device changes an injection interval to increase the volume of the superimposing part. When the ignition timing deviates from the target ignition timing due to insufficient temperature of the superimposing part, the device performs increase-correction of fuel injection amount by the pilot injection to increase preheating amount in a cylinder.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology capable of stably forming a homogeneous pre-air/fuel mixture in a compression ignition internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: In this method of controlling the fuel injection of the compression ignition internal combustion engine, the pre-air/fuel mixture is formed in a combustion chamber by performing a first fuel injection from a center injector (main fuel injection valve) 6 near the intake stroke top dead center and a second fuel injection from a side injector (auxiliary fuel injection valve) 7 between the first and the intermediate positions of a compression stroke. An area where a first injection fuel is deviated is estimated on the basis of a first injection fuel amount and a common rail pressure. When the first injection fuel is estimated to be deviated to the center of the combustion chamber 40, a second target fuel injection timing Tside is advanced to deviate a second injection fuel to the peripheral edge of the combustion chamber. When the first injection fuel is estimated to be deviated to the peripheral edge of the combustion chamber, the second target fuel injection timing Tside is retarded to deviate the second injection fuel to the center of the combustion chamber.
