  • Patent number: 10436144
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve, and a port injection fuel injection valve, has a controller that controls injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine. A fuel cut is performed at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine. The injection amount ratio of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve is corrected to be decreased at a fuel cut recovery at which a fuel supply is restarted from the fuel cut state, during a predetermined period from the start of the recovery.

  • Patent number: 10087874
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine has a controller configured to control a fuel injection valve arranged to directly inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a variable compression ratio mechanism arranged to vary an upper dead center position of a piston, and thereby to vary a compression ratio of the internal combustion engine. The controller is configured to control a fuel cut by which the fuel injection from the fuel injection valve is stopped, when a predetermined fuel cut condition is satisfied during a traveling of a vehicle. The fuel injection from the fuel injection valve is restarted when a predetermined fuel cut recovery condition is satisfied during the fuel cut.

  • Patent number: 9885304
    Abstract: A vehicle control system for an internal combustion engine having a fuel injection valve for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber includes a controller configured to perform a fuel cut-off when a predetermined fuel cut-off condition is met during travel of the vehicle to thereby stop fuel injection from the fuel injection valve. The controller is configured to resume the fuel injection from the fuel injection valve when a predetermined fuel cut-off recovery condition is met during the fuel cut-off. The controller is configured, upon elapse of a predetermined time that is required for a wall temperature of the combustion chamber to rise after resuming the fuel injection from the fuel injection valve, to perform a rich spike that temporarily increases the fuel injection amount from the fuel injection valve.

  • Publication number: 20170342925
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle has a controller that controls a fuel injection valve of the internal combustion engine arranged to directly inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a pressure regulator of the internal combustion engine arranged to vary a pressure of the fuel supplied to the fuel injection valve. The controller performs a fuel cut that stops the fuel injection of the fuel injection valve when a predetermined fuel cut condition is satisfied during a traveling of the vehicle. The controller restarts the fuel injection of the fuel injection valve when a predetermined fuel cut recovery condition is satisfied during the fuel cut.
