Abstract:
An internal combustion engine includes an in-cylinder injector (11) injecting a fuel into a cylinder and an intake port injector (12) injecting a fuel into an intake port. In the internal combustion engine, when a fuel injection ratio between the in-cylinder injector (11) and the intake port injector (12) is changed such that the ratio of fuel injection from the in-cylinder injector (11) is increased, ignition timing is retard-corrected for a prescribed period after that change.
Abstract:
A fuel injection control system of an internal combustion engine includes injection setting means, rotational speed change detecting means, and injection control means. The injection setting means calculates the required number of injections and the required injection times with regard to a plurality of fuel injections, based on operating conditions of the engine. The rotational speed change detecting means determines whether the amount of change of the engine speed is equal to or larger than a predetermined value. When it is determined that the amount of change of the engine speed is equal to or larger than the predetermined value, the injection control means controls a fuel injection valve so as to reduce or eliminate differences between the actual injection times and the required injection times. In this manner, even when the engine speed changes rapidly, deteriorations in the driveability and exhaust emissions are prevented.

The knocking determining apparatus includes a knocking determination prohibition unit prohibiting, when a ratio of fuel injection from the in-cylinder injector and the intake port injector is changed, knocking determination for a prescribed period after that change, or a knocking determination level change unit changing a knocking determination level for a prescribed period after that change.
Abstract:
A start control apparatus is applied to an internal combustion engine (1) having a plurality of cylinders (2) whose intake ports (3a) are provided with injectors (12) respectively. The start control apparatus makes a determination on piston positions of the respective cylinders (2) during stoppage of the internal combustion engine (1), identifies, on the basis of a result of the determination, a suction stroke cylinder whose piston (5) is stopped in a suction stroke, and sets an injection amount of fuel to be supplied to the intake port (3a) of the suction stroke cylinder before starting the internal combustion engine (1) on the basis of the piston position of the suction stroke cylinder. The start control apparatus sets a correction amount on the basis of the piston position of the suction stroke cylinder when fuel is supplied to the intake port (3a) of the suction stroke cylinder before starting the internal combustion engine (1), and makes the injection amount of fuel supplied to the suction stroke cylinder in starting the internal combustion engine (1) smaller than a calculated basic fuel injection amount in accordance with the correction amount.
Abstract:
In an exhaust purification system that purifies exhaust from a plurality of cylinder groups of an internal combustion engine, an exhaust passageway (1,51) from each cylinder group is divided into a plurality of passageways (2a, 2b, 52a, 52b/3,53) . With regard to one or more of the divided exhaust passageways (3,53) , the amount of exhaust passing therethrough is reduced so as to reduce the heat release to the outside from the exhaust as a whole. In this manner, the temperature of exhaust introduced into an exhaust purification device (4,54) is kept at high temperature.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine (1) is provided with an in-cylinder injection injector (41) and an intake port-injection injector (42). An ECU is provided with a fuel injection duration calculation portion (65) that calculates a requested fuel injection duration, and is also provided with a fuel injection control portion (71) that causes the in-cylinder injection injector (41) to inject fuel during the compression stroke during the cold start of the engine, and that causes fuel to be injected also in a manner other than the fuel injection performed by the in-cylinder injection injector (41) during the compression stroke if the requested fuel injection duration is longer than or equal to an interval time. Therefore, even if the requested fuel injection duration is longer than or equal to the interval time, the emissions can be reduced while a startability during the cold start of the internal combustion engine (1) is secured.

According to the invention, an exhaust gas purification device for an engine is provided. The device comprises: a plurality of cylinders, the cylinders being divided into at least two cylinder groups; exhaust branch pipes connected to the cylinder groups at their upstream ends, respectively; a common exhaust pipe connected to the downstream ends of the exhaust branch pipes; and a NOx catalyst positioned in the common exhaust pipe. When a sulfate contamination regeneration process for regenerating the sulfate contamination of the NOx catalyst is performed by controlling the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas discharged from one of the cylinder groups to a rich air-fuel ratio and controlling the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas discharged from the other cylinder group to a lean air-fuel ratio and a purge gas including fuel vapor is purged into an intake pipe, one of the amount of purge gas and the ratio of the amount of purge gas relative to an amount of fresh air flowing through the intake pipe is controlled on the basis of the concentration of fuel vapor in the purge gas.

Abstract:
A control apparatus includes a detection unit that detects a stop request to an engine, a throttle closing control unit that, when the stop request is detected, adjusts an opening amount of a throttle valve to an engine-stop throttle valve opening amount smaller than a current opening amount, an engine stop detection unit that detects a stop of the engine, an engine-stop exhaust valve control unit that adjusts an opening/closing characteristic of an exhaust valve of a cylinder that will be placed initially in an intake stroke when the engine is restarted so that, when the opening amount of the throttle valve is adjusted to the engine-stop throttle valve opening amount and a stop of the engine is detected, the exhaust valve has an engine-stop exhaust valve opening/closing characteristic by which a closing timing of the exhaust valve is more delayed than a current closing timing of the exhaust valve.
