CONTROL APPARATUS OF INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A control apparatus includes a control member performing a center position control to align a specific crank angle of an engine with EGR system, which angle is called as center position, with a reference position when the engine is driven under a predetermined range. The center position is a geometric center of a figure defined by a transition of heat generation ratio through fuel combustion. The control member runs an ignition acceleration procedure when the engine satisfies at least one of specific conditions during an exhaust gas recirculation under the center position control. The ignition acceleration procedure is to inject more fuel for a pilot injection than a base amount determined in accordance with the center position control. The specific conditions includes: a condition that an engine load is smaller than a threshold value; and a condition that an engine rotational speed is smaller than a threshold value.

1. A control apparatus of an internal combustion engine having an EGR device,
the control apparatus comprising a control member performing a center position control to align a crank angle defined as a center position with a reference position upon the engine being driven under a predetermined range for driving status, the center position being a geometric center of a figure defined by heat generation ratio through a fuel combustion in a cylinder of the engine, the control member running an ignition acceleration procedure upon at least one of specific conditions being satisfied during an exhaust gas recirculation with the EGR device under the center position control, the ignition acceleration procedure being to inject more fuel for a pilot injection of the engine before a main injection than a base amount for the pilot injection determined in accordance with the center position control, the specific conditions including: first condition of a load of the engine being smaller than a threshold load; and second condition of a rotational speed of the engine being smaller than a threshold rotational speed.
