摘要:
An intake air amount control apparatus for an internal combustion engine is provided with: an opening control mechanism and a variable valve mechanism, which control an intake air amount; an intake characteristics change mechanism for controlling the intake air amount by adjusting a parameter or parameters different from those of the above two mechanisms; and an intake amount control device for performing a cooperative control of these mechanisms upon the occurrence of any normal condition. The intake air amount control apparatus is also provided with: an abnormality detection device for detecting an abnormal condition in these three mechanisms; and a fail-safe device for controlling the intake air amount of the opening control mechanism out of these three mechanisms and controlling the other two mechanism, so as to fix their control amounts to constant values.

A control device of a multicylinder internal combustion engine provided with a valve operating characteristic control means for controlling a valve operating characteristic of at least one of an intake valve and exhaust valve, which estimates an intake difference of cylinders and limits a control range of said valve operating characteristic in accordance with said estimated intake difference.

An controller detects a change in a load generation state of an accessory device that generates a load on the internal combustion engine during operation, and the controller in turn controls a variable valve mechanism to change at least one of an operation angle and a valve lift of an intake valve of the internal combustion engine, as well as changing an amount of an intake air drawn into the internal combustion engine, in response to the detected change in the load generation state of the accessory device.
摘要:
A combustion condition for each of plural cylinders included in an internal combustion engine is set by the following control that is performed according to an intake air amount in each of the plural cylinders. A reference cylinder is set to a cylinder in which the intake air amount is smallest, and a fuel injection amount for the reference cylinder is set to a fuel injection amount for realizing a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The air-fuel ratio in each of the cylinders other than the reference cylinder is set according to the intake air amount in each of the cylinders such that the torque equal to reference torque generated in the reference cylinder is generated. When this setting is performed, air-fuel ratios that are out of a predetermined region in the vicinity of the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio (i.e., air-fuel ratios that are in an avoidance region) are excluded. With respect to a cylinder in which the torque equal to the reference torque cannot be generated only by setting the air-fuel ratio, correction of the ignition timing is further performed so as to suppress a difference between the torque generated in the cylinder and the reference torque.
摘要:
If a valve timing adjusting mechanism has a problem, an ECU determines whether or not actual valve timing VTa is larger than valve timing advanced angle limit value VTegr. Depending on the determination, the ECU selects a value for target valve operating angle VLt from safety angles including intermediate valve operating angle VLmid and maximum valve operating angle VLmax. Each of the safety angles VLmid, VLmax is a valve operating angle at which engine combustion is stabilized at the current valve timing. With the valve operating angle fixed at the safety angle VLmid or VLmax, a throttle valve controls intake air amount. This prevents the engine combustion from becoming unstable, thus enabling the engine to be operated in an engine safety mode.
摘要:
An engine has a variable valve actuation mechanism that varies lift characteristics of an intake valve. An idle speed control apparatus has a control section for controlling an intake air amount of the engine in an idle state for adjusting an actual engine speed to a target engine speed. The control section sets a control amount related to control of the intake air amount in correspondence with the lift characteristics, which are varied by the variable valve actuation mechanism. Accordingly, the engine speed in the idle state is effectively controlled in correspondence with changes of the lift characteristics.
