PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently operate an internal combustion engine in a hybrid vehicle having a supercharger. SOLUTION: A hybrid system 10 is constituted so that a torque calculating part 100b of a control device 100 can calculate torque of an engine 200 from torque reaction of a motor generator MG1. A fuel consumption rate calculating means 100c is constituted so that an instantaneous fuel consumption rate in the engine 200 can be calculated on the basis of such the calculated engine torque, a fuel injection quantity and an engine speed. An operation line updating part 100d sets an operation point of the engine 200 to a fuel consumption rate minimum operation point by performing operation point learning processing on the basis of this calculated fuel consumption rate. In this case, a fluctuation in a turbo 231 and a change with the lapse of time are absorbed by controlling the opening timing of an exhaust valve. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve overall performance including amenity and environmental performance, in a hybrid vehicle. SOLUTION: A hybrid system 10 calculates torque of an engine 200 from torque reaction of a motor generator MG1. A fuel consumption rate calculating part 100c calculates an instantaneous fuel consumption rate in the engine 200 on the basis of such the calculated engine torque, a fuel injection quantity and an engine speed. An operation line updating part 100d updates an operation line by performing operation point learning processing on the basis of this calculated fuel consumption rate. In this case, the operation line updating part 100d excludes an operation point being a predetermined value or more in an exhaust quantity of NOx from an updating object of the operation line, and updates the operation line in a range of becoming less than the predetermined value in the exhaust quantity of the NOx.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently operate an internal combustion engine, even when a knock occurs, in a hybrid vehicle. SOLUTION: A hybrid system 10 is constituted so that a torque calculating part 100b of a control device 100 can calculate torque of an engine 200 from torque reaction of a motor generator MG1. A fuel consumption rate calculating part 100c is constituted so that an instantaneous fuel consumption rate in the engine 200 can be calculated on the basis of such the calculated engine torque, a fuel injection quantity and an engine speed. An operation line updating part 100d sets an operation point of the engine 200 to a fuel consumption rate minimum operation point by performing operation point learning processing on the basis of this calculated fuel consumption rate. When the knock occurs, control being smaller in the fuel consumption rate on the fuel consumption rate minimum operation point, is selected and used by ignition timing delay control and closing timing delay control of an intake valve.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the combustion efficiency in an internal combustion engine by strengthening a squish flow generated in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine. SOLUTION: Suction valves 4 and 5, and a recessed space 7a formed at a crown plane of a piston 7 are provided. The recessed space 7a is arranged at the position opposite only to the suction valve 4 out of the suction valves 4 and 5, and functions as a combustion chamber by covering an opening at an upper wall face of the cylinder 8 inside at the compression top dead center. In the recessed space 7a, when the suction valve 4 opens near the top dead center of the piston 7, the suction valve 4 enters the recessed space 7a to avoid the interference of the suction valve 4 with the piston 7. This makes the recessed space 7a functioning as the combustion chamber to share the function of a valve recess to enlarge a squish area 14. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
