  • Publication number: 20220010749
    Abstract: An engine device includes an engine including an in-cylinder injection valve and a spark plug, an exhaust gas control device, and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a last fuel injection from the in-cylinder injection valve in an expansion stroke and to set a fuel injection amount for the last fuel injection in expansion stroke injection driving, based on a coolant start temperature, post-start time, and volumetric efficiency. The expansion stroke injection driving is a control that is performed by performing the ignition by the spark plug in synchronization with the fuel injection in the expansion stroke.

  • Patent number: 11215146
    Abstract: When an execution condition for a purge of supplying evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe is met, a required purge ratio is set within a range equal to or higher than a lower-limit purge ratio, and a purge control valve is controlled using a driving duty based on the required purge ratio. In this case, when the execution condition is continuously met, an ejector pressure is estimated based on a pressure difference between a supercharging pressure and a pre-compressor pressure, and on the driving duty, and the lower-limit purge ratio is set based on a post-throttle-valve pressure and on the ejector pressure. The value of the lower-limit purge ratio is set to zero immediately after the execution condition switches from being not met to being met.

  • Publication number: 20210404409
    Abstract: A control apparatus of an internal combustion engine is provided. The internal combustion engine includes a port injection valve that injects fuel into an intake-air port, and a cylinder injection valve that injects fuel into a cylinder. The control apparatus includes an electronic control unit that controls the port injection valve and the cylinder injection valve such that when returning from a fuel cut, a value of a port increase amount correction, which is a fuel increase amount correction in which a fuel amount is decreased with a lapse of time during a port injection, differs from a value of a cylinder increase amount correction, which is a fuel increase amount correction in which a fuel amount is decreased with a lapse of time during a cylinder injection.

  • Publication number: 20210388784
    Abstract: When a predetermined condition is satisfied, a flow rate ratio of a first passage flow rate to a second passage flow rate is estimated based on a throttle post pressure being a pressure on a downstream side of an intake pipe with respect to a throttle valve and an ejector pressure being a pressure of a suction port of an ejector. The first passage flow rate is a flow rate of an evaporated fuel gas flowing in a first purge passage. The second passage flow rate is a flow rate of the evaporated fuel gas flowing in a second purge passage. The first passage flow rate and the second passage flow rate are estimated based on the flow rate ratio and a valve passing flow rate being a flow rate of the evaporated fuel gas that passes through a purge control value.

    Abstract: A first arrival flow rate that is a flow rate of evaporative fuel gas that has arrived in a throttle downstream portion located downstream of a throttle valve in an intake pipe via a second purge passage after passing through a purge control valve is estimated based on a valve passage flow rate that is a flow rate of evaporative fuel gas that has passed through the purge control valve, and a first response delay in the flow of evaporative fuel gas through a route extending from the purge control valve to the throttle downstream portion via the second purge passage.

  • Publication number: 20210363930
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve is controlled by setting a required injection amount using a required load factor of an engine and a purge correction amount. A purge control valve is controlled using a driving duty based on a required purge ratio when a purge of supplying the evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe is being executed. During execution of the purge, the purge concentration-related value is learned based on an air-fuel ratio deviation that is a deviation of an air-fuel ratio from a required air-fuel ratio. The certainty of the purge concentration-related value is estimated using a first counter that reflects a number of times of learning of the purge concentration-related value during a first purge and that does not reflect a number of times of learning of the purge concentration-related value during a second purge.

  • Publication number: 20210363929
    Abstract: During execution of a purge, a purge concentration-related value is learned based on an air-fuel ratio deviation that is a deviation of an air-fuel ratio detected by an air-fuel ratio sensor from a required air-fuel ratio. In this case, the purge concentration-related value is updated using an update amount with a smaller absolute value when the purge is a second purge of supplying evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe through a second purge passage than when the purge is a first purge of supplying the evaporated fuel gas to the intake pipe through a first purge passage.

  • Publication number: 20210363928
    Abstract: When first switching of switching from a first purge of supplying evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe through a first purge passage to a second purge of supplying the evaporated fuel gas to the intake pipe through a second purge passage occurs and then second switching of switching from the second purge to the first purge occurs, a purge concentration-related value is corrected to a value closer to a first stored value that is the purge concentration-related value immediately before the first switching than to a second stored value that is the purge concentration-related value immediately before the second switching.

  • Publication number: 20210340927
    Abstract: Fuel injection control of an engine is executed by setting a required injection amount and an air-fuel ratio correction amount. When setting conditions are met, the air-fuel ratio correction amount is set for a corresponding region to which a current intake air amount or load ratio belongs among a plurality of regions into which the range of the intake air amount or the load ratio is divided such that a region of a larger intake air amount or a higher load ratio becomes wider than a region of a smaller intake air amount or a lower load ratio. When purge conditions are met, a purge control valve is controlled such that purge of supplying an evaporated fuel gas to an intake pipe is executed based on a required purge ratio.

  • Patent number: 10799362
    Abstract: A training kit is provided for practicing aortic valve reconstruction. The aortic valve reconstruction training kit is provided with a blood vessel model and multiple valve leaflet models, and the blood vessel model has a base-capped or base-uncapped cylindrical form having an opening formed on at least the top part thereof. The blood vessel model also has a valve ring part which is formed in the middle of the cylinder and to which the valve leaflet models can be sutured. By using the training kit, it becomes possible to practice a suturing technique that is believed to be the most difficult in aortic valve reconstruction, namely, a technique of accurately suturing a new valve leaflet to a valve ring part, to which an abnormal valve leaflet has been attached, of a cylindrical aorta while viewing the inside of the aorta from above.
