Abstract:
A control device of a spark-ignition engine is provided. The control device includes a main body of the engine, a fuel injection valve, an ignition plug, and a controller. According to an operating state of the engine, the controller switches an ignition mode between a compression-ignition mode in which compression-ignition combustion is performed by causing the mixture gas to self-ignite and combust, and a spark-ignition mode in which spark-ignition combustion is performed by igniting the mixture gas with the ignition plug to combust. The controller switches the ignition mode from the spark-ignition mode to the compression-ignition mode by performing a transition mode in which a temperature inside the cylinder is forcibly decreased and combustion is performed.
Abstract:
A spark-ignition direct injection engine is provided. The engine includes an engine body having a cylinder, intake and exhaust valves for opening and closing intake and exhaust ports that open to the cylinder, respectively, a fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into the cylinder, a catalyst in an exhaust passage, and a controller for operating the engine body by controlling the intake and exhaust valves and the fuel injection valve. The controller performs a fuel cut by suspending the fuel injection during engine deceleration in a non-operated accelerator state, and when the engine speed drops to a predetermined speed, the controller resumes the fuel injection. During the fuel cut, the controller opens the exhaust valve on an intake stroke and then opens the intake valve, and after closing the exhaust valve and when mixture gas is blown back to the intake port, the controller closes the intake valve.

According to an engine operating state, the controller switches between a compression-ignition mode in which compression-ignition combustion is performed, and a spark-ignition mode in which spark-ignition combustion is performed. The controller switches from the spark-ignition mode to the compression-ignition mode by performing in order, a first stage where an air-fuel ratio of mixture gas is set to a predetermined value and the spark-ignition combustion is performed, a second stage where the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is set leaner than the first stage and the compression-ignition combustion is performed, and a third stage where the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is set richer than the second stage and the compression-ignition combustion is performed.

Abstract:
A controller injects fuel into a cylinder at a high fuel pressure of 30 MPa or higher, at least in a period between a terminal stage of a compression stroke and an initial stage of an expansion stroke when an operating mode of an engine body is at least in a first specified sub-range of a low load range, and at least in a second specified sub-range of a high load range. The controller sets an EGR ratio in the first specified sub-range to be higher than an EGR ratio in the second specified sub-range, and advances start of fuel injection in the first specified sub-range to start of fuel injection in the second specified sub-range.
Abstract:
An engine body includes a cylinder with a geometrical compression ratio of 15 or higher, and is supplied with fuel containing at least gasoline. When an operating mode of the engine body is in a high load range, a controller (i.e., a PCM 10) drives a fuel injection valve (i.e., an injector) 67 to inject the fuel at a time within a retarded period between a terminal stage of a compression stroke and an initial stage of an expansion stroke in a low speed range. The controller drives the fuel injection valve to inject the fuel in an intake stroke until an intake valve 21 is closed in a high-load high-speed range.
Abstract:
A controller performs switching between a compression ignition mode in which compression ignition combustion is performed to operate an engine body, and a spark ignition mode in which spark ignition combustion is performed to drive a spark plug to ignite and combust an air-fuel mixture in a cylinder. The controller reduces an EGR ratio to be lower than an EGR ratio set in the compression ignition mode to operate the engine body in a transitional mode in which the compression ignition combustion is performed in switching from the spark ignition mode to the compression ignition mode.
Abstract:
A spark-ignition engine is provided. The engine includes an engine body, a fuel injection valve, an ignition plug, an EGR introduction system, and a controller for operating the engine body by controlling the fuel injection valve, the ignition plug, and the EGR introduction system. The controller controls to combust mixture gas by compressing to self-ignite within a compression self-ignition combustion applying range, and to combust the mixture gas by a spark-ignition using the ignition plug within a spark-ignition combustion applying range. Substantially throughout the spark-ignition combustion applying range, the controller controls the EGR introduction system to introduce cooled EGR gas, and within the compression self-ignition applying range, the controller controls the EGR introduction system to introduce hot EGR gas. The controller controls the EGR introduction system to introduce the hot EGR gas and the cooled EGR gas within a low engine load part of the spark-ignition combustion applying range.
