摘要:
Provided is a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine that can favorably achieve compatibility between suppressing deterioration of a catalyst and suppressing progression of rich poisoning thereof when the internal combustion engine has a configuration that performs valve stopping control during a fuel-cut operation. Variable valve operating apparatuses are provided having valve stop mechanisms that can respectively change an operating state of an intake valve and an exhaust valve between a valve operating state and a closed-valve stopped state. When an integrated fuel injection amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value β when executing a fuel-cut operation, it is determined that rich poisoning of an upstream catalyst is in a progressed state. In that case, valve stopping control of the intake and exhaust valves is prohibited to thereby supply oxygen to the upstream catalyst.

An engine includes an intake variable valve mechanism and an exhaust variable valve mechanism. An ECU causes all intake valves in all cylinders to stop in a closed state by means of intake variable valve mechanism when performing a fuel-cut operation, including when the engine is stopped. The ECU causes at least one exhaust valve in all cylinders to stop in an open state by means of exhaust variable valve mechanism. When executing a fuel-cut operation, needless compression can be avoided by stopping the exhaust valves in an open state, while protecting a catalyst from deterioration caused by contact with intake air by stopping the intake valves in a closed state. The amount of oil consumption of the engine, and electric power consumption, vibrations and a tendency for spontaneous ignition to occur at cranking time can be improved.

Provided is a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine which can successfully determine whether or not a failure concerning a stopping operation of an exhaust valve has occurred, without the need of providing a dedicated sensor for the failure determination. An intake variable valve operating apparatus (62) and an exhaust variable valve operating apparatus (64) are included that have valve stop mechanisms capable of switching each operational state of an intake valve (58) and an exhaust valve (60) between a valve operating state and a valve closed/stopped state. It is determined whether or not a failure concerning a stopping operation of the exhaust valve (60) from the valve operating state to the valve closed/stopped state has occurred, on the basis of the magnitude of the negative torque of when an execution request that is accompanied by a valve stop request to switch each operational state of the intake valve (58) and the exhaust valve (60) from the valve operating state to the valve closed/stopped state has been issued, in a case in which it is determined that a failure concerning the stopping operation of the intake valve (58) has not occurred.

Provided is a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, which can determine whether or not there is a failure concerning a switching of an operational state of an intake valve, in the internal combustion engine that includes a valve stop mechanism that is capable of switching the operational state of the intake valve between a valve operating state and a valve closed/stopped state, without the need of adding a new sensor for the failure determination. An intake variable valve operating apparatus (66) is provided that includes a valve stop mechanism capable of switching the operational state of the intake valve (62) between the valve operating state and the valve closed/stopped state. A crank angle sensor (72) is provided for detecting the crank angle of the internal combustion engine (12). An intake pressure sensor (56) is provided for detecting the actual intake pressure pim. It is determined whether or not there is a failure concerning the switching of the operational state of the intake valve (62) between the valve operating state and the valve closed/stopped state by the valve stop mechanism, based on an intake pressure difference dlpm (first difference) between the actual intake pressure pim and the pseudo intake pressure pmcrt at a predetermined crank angle (for example, 60° C.A after the top dead center in each cylinder).

There is provided a control apparatus for an internal combustion engine, which can favorably reduce a load necessary for cranking at the time of the next start, while preventing the fresh air inflow to a catalyst at the time of the stop of the internal combustion engine. A valve stop command is issued to an electrically-driven actuator so that the operational states of intake and exhaust valves becomes a valve closed/stopped state when fuel supply is stopped in response to an establishment of a predetermined stop condition of the internal combustion engine. Then, to return the operational states of the intake and exhaust valves to a valve operating state after the completion of the stopping operation of the internal combustion engine, a valve return command is issued to the actuator, and a crankshaft is rotationally driven by a predetermined angle required to return the operational states of the intake and exhaust valves to the valve operating state.

摘要:
A stopping position control apparatus and method for an internal combustion engine, over which an automatic stop/restart control is executed, is suggested. With the stopping position control apparatus and method, the crankshaft stopping position control is executed accurately by minimizing the influence of the loads placed on the internal combustion engine by auxiliary devices. The position at which the crankshaft stops when the internal combustion engine is automatically stopped is controlled by controlling the engine speed at which ignition is stopped. When issuance of a command to automatically stop the internal combustion engine is predicted, the auxiliary devices of the internal combustion engine are stopped before the internal combustion engine is automatically stopped.
