摘要:
Based on results of a knock control for adjusting ignition timing in accordance with the occurrence of knocking, an electronic control unit computes deposit required ignition timing akgrg, which is ignition timing determined by taking adhesion of deposits in an internal combustion engine into consideration. Based on the deposit required ignition timing akgrg, the electronic control unit reduces a vvt allowable variable range of a target VVT advancement amount, which is a control target value of a variable valve timing mechanism. The electronic control unit corrects a required ignition timing based on the actual VVT advancement amount vt, which is chanted according to the reduction of the allowable variable range of the target VVT advancement amount. As a result, problems resulting from the adhesion of deposits are effectively avoided.

摘要:
A combustion control apparatus for an internal combustion engine that switches combustion modes at the proper timing. At the time of switching from a stratified-charge combustion mode to a homogeneous-charge combustion mode, the angle of an EGR valve is changed to the angle needed for the homogeneous-charge combustion mode first. When a predetermined delay time elapses after a request for switching the combustion mode has been made, substantial mode switching is carried out. The delay time is set based on engine speed and engine load.

A control apparatus for a cylinder injection type internal combustion engine in which the fuel injection mode of the engine is switched between a compression stroke injection and an intake stroke injection. When the engine is cold, the compression stroke injection is selected for the fuel injection mode so that injected fuel collides with the top surface of a piston and is directed toward the vicinity of a spark plug. When the fuel injection mode is switched from the compression stroke injection to the intake stroke injection, the ignition timing is delayed during the execution of the intake stroke injection from when the fuel injection mode is switched until a predetermined period elapses compared with a case when the fuel injection mode is not switched.

A variable displacement oil pump includes: a variable displacement mechanism that is able to change a discharge amount per rotation of an input shaft. The variable displacement mechanism includes a pump housing, an oil pressure chamber provided in the pump housing, and a capacity adjustment member displaced by oil pressure from the oil pressure chamber. The capacity adjustment member is configured to be operated when receiving control oil pressure that is supplied from a control valve to the oil pressure chamber. The pump housing has an oil release hole that is opened to face the oil pressure chamber and that penetrates a wall section of the pump housing to partially release oil.

When the engine speed is high (determination of YES at S100), actual intake valve phase is calculated based on rotation phase difference between rotation angles of crankshaft and camshaft, detected by using a crank angle signal and a cam angle signal, and actual valve timing is detected therefrom. When the engine speed is low (determination of NO at S100) and the crank angle signal and cam angle signal are unstable, an amount of change in camshaft rotation phase by the VVT mechanism in accordance with the operation amount of actuator detected by a motor rotation angle signal is calculated successively, and based on an accumulation of the amount of change, the actual intake valve phase is calculated, and the actual valve timing is detected.

An ECU executes a program including the steps of: controlling, when the phase of an intake valve is a phase advanced relative to a threshold value CA (FF) (NO in S106), an electric motor operating an intake VVT mechanism by feedback control (S202); and controlling, when the phase of the intake valve is a phase retarded relative to the threshold value CA (FF) (YES in S106), the electric motor by feed-forward control (S200). Under the feed-forward control, a duty command value is output that is smaller than an upper limit of a duty command value under the feedback control.

An ECU transmits a pulsed operation command signal, indicating operation commands for an electric motor used as a VVT actuator, to an electric-motor EDU. The electric-motor EDU recognizes the combination of the direction in which the actuator should be operated (actuator operation direction) and the control mode based on the duty ratio of the operation command signal, and the rotational speed command value based on the frequency of the operation command signal. The electric-motor EDU controls the electric motor according to the control commands. The duty ratio indicating the combination is set such that even if the duty ratio is falsely recognized, a false recognition concerning the actuator operation direction is prevented, such false recognition causing the valve phase to change in an undesirable direction, and even if the actuator operation direction is falsely recognized, the rate of change in the phase is restricted.

A valve characteristic controller for an engine including variable valve actuation mechanisms, one for a first valve and another for a second valve, to vary the opening and closing timings of the valves. The controller executes main control to calculate a target timing of the first valve in accordance with an operation state of the engine and has the corresponding variable valve actuation mechanism adjust the timing of the first valve to the target timing. Further, the controller executes sub-control to calculate a target timing of the second valve based on a target valve overlap amount and the actual timing of the first valve and has the corresponding variable valve actuation mechanism adjust the valve timing of the second valve to the target timing. The main control is executed on the one of the two variable valve actuation mechanisms having a lower response speed.

An controller detects a change in a load generation state of an accessory device that generates a load on the internal combustion engine during operation, and the controller in turn controls a variable valve mechanism to change at least one of an operation angle and a valve lift of an intake valve of the internal combustion engine, as well as changing an amount of an intake air drawn into the internal combustion engine, in response to the detected change in the load generation state of the accessory device.
