Abstract: An engine control device (1) having a supercharger (30) includes an injection controller (3) that controls injections of fuel through a cylinder injection valve (11) and through a port injection valve (12), based on a rotation speed Ne of an engine (10), and a variable valve controller (5) that controls a variable valve actuating mechanism (40) based on the rotation speed Ne.

The injection controller (3), in the period during which the rotation speed is shifting from the first rotation speed region to the second rotation speed region, carries out a cylinder injection and a port injection, and advances timing for injecting the fuel through the port injection valve (12).

Abstract: According to the present invention, if a required power generation signal is supplied while a vehicle is decelerated in a fuel-efficiency-oriented control mode, an electrically-operated waste gate valve is operated so that opening of the electrically-operated waste gate valve is increased as the required power generation amount increases. Then, if it is determined that the vehicle is decelerated on the basis of accelerator opening and a vehicle speed, and fuel is cut off, an electronically controlled throttle valve is operated toward a fully opened side. In addition, if any one of following conditions is satisfied: the fuel-efficiency-oriented control mode is not selected; there is supply of a required output signal; and the vehicle is not decelerated, opening of the electrically-operated waste gate valve is adjusted so that output torque of an engine becomes a required output value.

Abstract: A direct injection internal combustion engine employs a spray guided combustion method, wherein a fuel spray injected from a fuel injection valve is collected at an electrode section of a spark plug so that satisfactorily high combustion performance may be achieved even with a small amount of injected fuel. The engine includes spray control posts 30 arranged on both sides of the spark plug 5, for guiding the fuel injected from the fuel injection valve 4 to be directed toward the electrode section 10 of the spark plug 5.

Abstract: The invention provides an in-cylinder injection type internal combustion engine that is capable of controlling gas flow velocity in the vicinity of an ignition part of a spark plug and maintaining an air-fuel mixture suitable for ignition for a long time. The engine includes deflecting parts 28 that have a passage 25 located on a wall face of a combustion chamber between an injection part 11 and an ignition part 17, and deflect a portion of the fuel injected from the injection part 11 to indirectly direct the fuel to the vicinity of the ignition part. Due to the above construction, there is a difference in reaching timing between direct and indirect routes, and moreover a flow velocity of gas that reaches the ignition part is reduced by fuel deflection. An air-fuel mixture suitable for ignition therefore remains in the vicinity of the ignition part for a long time.

Abstract: In order to ensure waterproofing between a resin enclosure case and a heat sink, a canopy structure is provided in a portion, in which water is likely to penetrate, so as to prevent the water from entering the portion, thereby directing the water flow to the outside of the enclosure. This makes it easy to install and remove an electronic unit, so that an electronic component integrally formed with the heat sink can be easily replaced.
