  • Patent number: 11359573
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine capable of performing additional injection in addition to regular injection includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to calculate an ignition timing at a predetermined crank angle before a compression top dead center. The electronic control unit is configured to calculate an injection amount of fuel at a predetermined time interval and to calculate an injection amount of the fuel at the predetermined crank angle. The electronic control unit is configured to control the fuel injection valve such that the fuel injection valve additionally injects the fuel in an increase amount before ignition, when the injection amount calculated at the predetermined crank angle is increased due to retardation of the ignition tinting calculated after the fuel in the injection amount calculated at the predetermined time interval is regularly injected.

  • Patent number: 11002208
    Abstract: An in-vehicle control device carries out fuel cut-off for stopping fuel injection from a fuel injection valve when a prescribed fuel cut-off condition including that a lockup clutch with which a torque converter is equipped is engaged and that an accelerator is off is fulfilled. Besides, the in-vehicle control device performs a fuel cut-off suspension process for carrying out fuel injection from the fuel injection valve and releasing the lockup clutch when there is a request to suspend fuel cut-off with the accelerator off. Also, the in-vehicle control device performs a speed increase process for performing shift control of an automatic transmission such that the rotational speed of a turbine impeller with which the torque converter is equipped becomes higher while the fuel cut-off suspension process is performed than when fuel cut-off is carried out.

  • Patent number: 10914256
    Abstract: An in-vehicle controller prohibits engagement of a lock-up clutch when a temperature of a fluid that actuates the lock-up clutch is lower than a prescribed temperature. In addition, the in-vehicle controller stops fuel injection by a fuel injection valve when fuel cut conditions including such a condition that the lock-up clutch is engaged are established. Under a situation where the temperature of the fluid is lower than the prescribed temperature, in the case where a PM accumulation amount on a filter is equal to or larger than an accumulation amount threshold, the in-vehicle controller executes speed increase processing so as to execute gear shift control of a continuously variable transmission such that a rotational speed of a turbine impeller in a torque converter is increased to be higher than that in a case where the PM accumulation amount is smaller than the accumulation amount threshold.
