  • Patent number: 10767576
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device applied to a cylinder injection type of the engine (10). The control device carries out a fuel injection while changing a penetration force of the injected fuel by changing a maximum value of a lift amount of the valve body (22) of the injector (20). Further, the control device controls an ignition timing on the basis of the engine operation state. The control device changes an end timing of a preceding injection carried out immediately before the ignition timing such that a time period between the end timing of the preceding injection and the ignition timing under a state where a first value is set as the maximum value of the valve body lift amount in the preceding injection, is longer than a time period between the end timing of the preceding injection and the ignition timing under a state that a second value larger than the first value is set as the maximum value of the valve body lift amount in the preceding injection.

  • Patent number: 10513999
    Abstract: An engine controller according to one aspect of the invention is applied to a cylinder injection engine including a fuel injection valve that directly injects fuel into a cylinder. The engine controller determines whether knocking is occurring based on a signal from a knocking sensor. When the knocking is occurring, the engine controller performs partial lift fuel injection at a predetermined timing close to an ignition timing. The partial lift fuel injection is performed with a lift amount of a valve body of the fuel injection valve limited within a range between a minimum lift amount (0) and a partial lift amount, which is smaller than a maximum lift amount.
