Patent number: 10151274Abstract: An abnormality detection device of an internal combustion engine includes an ECU that is an abnormality detection unit detecting a leakage occurrence of a second pure pipe. When the internal combustion engine is in a supercharging operation state that a supercharger operates and the second purge pipe is closed by a second purge valve, the ECU detects the leakage occurrence of the second purge pipe based on a differential pressure between a pressure in the second purge pipe and an atmospheric pressure. In this case, the valve pressure in the second purge pipe is a pressure in the second purge pipe between the second purge valve and the intake pipe.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshinori Maegawa, Masanori Kurosawa, Kosuke Nakano
