    摘要: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine configured to perform control to remove a combustible residue adhered to an exhaust path of the internal combustion engine includes one or more processors and one or more memories communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to: obtain information on an exhaust temperature at a predetermined position in the exhaust path during operation of the internal combustion engine; determine whether the exhaust temperature or a predetermined reference temperature obtained based on the exhaust temperature has exceeded a threshold; and, when the exhaust temperature or the reference temperature has exceeded the threshold, increase an amount of oxygen to be supplied to the exhaust path to forcibly combust the combustible residue.

    摘要: A control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes an ECU configured to: determine whether a temperature-increasing process is being executed; calculate a target value of a parameter correlated with a difference between a rich air-fuel ratio and a lean air-fuel ratio achieved in the temperature-increasing process, based on an operating state of the internal combustion engine; calculate, as an upper limit, a value of the parameter required to increase the temperature of the catalyst to a predetermined upper limit temperature; determine whether the target value is equal to or lower than the upper limit; adjust the parameter used in the temperature-increasing process to the target value when the target value is determined to be equal to or lower than the upper limit; and adjust the parameter used in the temperature-increasing process to the upper limit when the target value is determined to be higher than the upper limit.
