  • Control device of an internal combustion engine and a control method thereof
    Patent number: 10731585
    Abstract: A control device of an internal combustion engine calculates an abnormal combustion prevention torque for preventing an abnormal combustion due to self-ignition whose heat source is a mixture of supplied fuel to the internal combustion engine and lubricant oil, on the basis of a cylinder wall temperature of the internal combustion engine or a temperature of a parameter in correlation with the cylinder wall temperature, and controls a torque of the internal combustion engine to prevent the torque of the internal combustion engine from becoming equal to or more than the abnormal combustion prevention torque.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 26, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2020
    Assignee: NISSAN MOTOR CO., LTD.
    Inventors: Kentarou Yamano, Takao Kawasaki
  • Internal combustion engine control device and internal combustion engine control method
    Patent number: 10174705
    Abstract: A control device of an internal combustion engine includes an estimating means adapted to estimate an amount of a mixture of fuel and oil dispersing according to a movement of a piston within a cylinder; and a limiting means adapted to limit an upper limit torque (UT) of an internal combustion engine according to the estimated amount of the mixture.
    Type: Grant
