    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an internal combustion engine of the present invention determines whether or not a lean request has occurred, based on a comparison between a value correlating with an output value of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor disposed downstream of the catalyst (downstream air-fuel ratio sensor output correlating value) and a predetermined lean request determining value, and determines whether or not a rich request has occurred, based on a comparison between the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor output correlating value and a predetermined rich request determining value. Further, the air-fuel ratio control apparatus calculates a total amount of oxygen (released oxygen amount) released from the catalyst in the rich request occurring period, and calculates an integrated value (present stored oxygen amount) of oxygen stored in the catalyst after a start of the lean request occurring period which follows the rich request occurring period. The apparatus changes the rich request determining value in such a manner that a point in time at which it is determined that the rich request has occurred comes much earlier as the present stored oxygen amount comes closer to the released oxygen amount.

    摘要: An embodiment (control apparatus) of an air-fuel ratio control apparatus according to the present invention determines, based on an output value Voxs of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor 56 disposed at a position downstream of a three-way catalyst 43, which air-fuel request is occurring, a rich request or a lean request. The control apparatus sets an air-fuel ratio of each cylinder (cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio) to a rich air-fuel ratio when the rich request is occurring, and sets the cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio to a lean air-fuel ratio when the lean request is occurring. The control apparatus has a cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio of a specific cylinder different from a cylinder-by-cylinder air-fuel ratio of the other cylinder so as to obtain a fluctuation period correlated value indicative of a fluctuation of the output value Voxs of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor 56, and determines an influence/impact degree on the output value of the downstream air-fuel ratio sensor of an exhaust gas discharged from each of a plurality of cylinders, based on the fluctuation period correlated value. Further, the control apparatus controls the air-fuel ratio of each cylinder in accordance with the influence degree.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control apparatus of the present invention comprises an inverse direction spike introducing section and an inverse direction spike interval setting section. The inverse direction spike introducing section introduces, while an air-fuel ratio correction required by an output of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor is being carried out, an inverse direction spike which is an air-fuel ratio spike to temporarily change an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas toward a direction opposite to a direction of the air-fuel ratio correction with respect to a target control air-fuel ratio. The inverse direction spike interval setting section sets, based on an operating state of an internal combustion engine system, an inverse direction spike interval which is an interval between two of the inverse direction spikes next to each other in time.

    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an internal combustion engine according to an embodiment of the invention (the present control apparatus) sets a target air-fuel ratio to a target rich air-fuel ratio when it is determined on the basis of the output value Voxs of a downstream air-fuel ratio sensor 67 that the oxygen adsorption amount of a catalyst 43 tends to be excessive, and sets the target air-fuel ratio to a target lean air-fuel ratio when it is determined on the basis of the output value Voxs that the oxygen adsorption amount of the catalyst 43 tends to be insufficient. Further, the present control apparatus determines whether or not an operation state in which a large amount of nitrogen oxide flows into the catalyst 43 is reached on the basis of “whether a predetermined condition is fulfilled”, and makes the target rich air-fuel ratio obtained when the predetermined condition is fulfilled less than the target rich air-fuel ratio obtained when the predetermined condition is not fulfilled. As a result, the concentration of a reducing agent inside the catalyst 43 can be increased before a large amount of NOx flows into the catalyst 43. Therefore, when a large amount of NOx flows into the catalyst 43, most of the NOx can be eliminated.
