  • Publication number: 20160377022
    Abstract: A cooling device for an internal combustion engine includes a HT cooling system, a LT cooling system, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to, if a HT temperature has reached a HT determination value, control an operation state of the HT cooling system to start cooling for maintaining the HT temperature at a HT target temperature. The electronic control unit is configured to, if a LT temperature being a temperature of a LT cooling medium has reached a LT determination value, start a LT cooling control for maintaining the LT temperature at a LT target temperature under a specific condition where an early warm-up of the internal combustion engine is not required. The electronic control unit is configured to start the LT cooling control if the HT temperature has reached the HT determination value under a condition where the early warm-up is required.

  • Publication number: 20160356257
    Abstract: A control device for an internal combustion engine includes a knock control system, a cooling system, and an electronic control unit. The knock control system is configured to ignite a spark plug an ignition crank angle obtained by retarding the ignition crank angle in response to an occurrence of the knocking. The electronic control unit is configured to supply a command value corresponding to a target value of a cooling parameter to the cooling system such that the cooling system performs cooling of the internal combustion engine according to the command value. The electronic control unit is configured to correct the command value based on a KCS learned value such that as the KCS learned value increases, a correction amount for correcting the command value increases in correction amount in a direction in which a cooling capacity of the cooling system increases.

  • Publication number: 20160298526
    Abstract: High temperature (HT) and low temperature (LT) cooling water, the LT cooling water being at a lower temperature than the HT cooling water, circulate in HT and LT cooling water flows in respective channels. A controller controls to set the temperature of the LT cooling water lower in a case where an operating point of an engine lies in a particular region in an operational region of the engine, the particular region including a region in which the load is high and the engine speed is low, than in a case where the operating point lies in an operational region other than the particular region. Furthermore, the controller narrows the particular region in a direction toward higher loads in a case where the temperature of the HT cooling water is lower than a predetermined temperature.

  • Publication number: 20160194007
    Abstract: If a predicted compression-time in-cylinder temperature Tp having a positive correlation with the intensity of predicted pre-ignition is equal to or higher than a pre-ignition threshold value Tig when a request for automatic start is made, a forward/reverse switching mechanism is placed in a released state, and an engine is automatically started. If the predicted compression-time in-cylinder temperature Tp is lower than the pre-ignition threshold value Tig, the forward/reverse switching mechanism is placed in an engaged state, and the engine is automatically started.

  • Publication number: 20150247482
    Abstract: A stop and start control device for an internal combustion engine is configured to perform an automatic stop control for stopping combustion in the internal combustion engine while a vehicle is travelling. The stop start control device is configured to initiate a restart operation during vehicle travel when a restart request generates before the vehicle stops in a state in which the combustion in the internal combustion engine has been stopped by the automatic stop control. The restart operation during vehicle travel is a restart operation for the internal combustion engine while the vehicle is travelling. The stop and start control device is configured to set an ignition timing of a first ignition in the restart operation during vehicle travel to an ignition timing advanced from an ignition timing of a second ignition in the restart operation during vehicle travel.

  • Patent number: 9051895
    Abstract: This apparatus is applied to an engine equipped with a fuel supply system that supplies pressure-increased fuel to a fuel injection valve, and performs the fuel injection from the injection valve in one combustion cycle by a multiple injection process that includes a pre-injection and a main injection that are executed with an interval therebetween. The apparatus calculates a deviation between a required value (one-dot chain line) and an actual value (solid line) regarding the end timing of the pre-injection, based on the manner of fluctuation of the fuel pressure in the fuel injection that is detected by a pressure sensor. A target main injection timing and a target pre-interval are individually set on the basis of the state of operation of the engine. Based on the deviation, the target main injection timing and the target pre-interval, the apparatus sets control target values regarding the execution period of the pre-injection.
