Abstract

A control device for an internal combustion engine includes a throttle valve opening degree detector, an air bypass valve controller, and a torque reduction controller. The throttle valve opening degree detector detects an opening degree of a throttle valve which is provided downstream with respect to a compressor of a supercharger. The air bypass valve controller opens an air bypass valve based on a reduction change in the opening degree of the detected throttle valve. The air bypass valve is configured to open and close a bypass path. The torque reduction controller controls the throttle valve to reduce the opening degree of the throttle valve while an automatic transmission connected to the internal combustion engine is in an acceleration shifting in order to execute a torque reduction control. The air bypass valve controller maintains the air bypass valve in a close state during the torque reduction control.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control device for an internal combustion engine that is installed in a vehicle, is connected with a multi-speed automatic transmission, and has a compressor of a supercharger which is provided in an intake path and an air bypass valve which opens or closes a bypass path which bypasses the compressor, the bypass path is a path that connects an upstream side of the compressor to a downstream side of the compressor, the control device comprising:
a throttle valve opening degree sensor configured to detect an opening degree of a throttle valve which is arranged on the downstream side of the compressor in the intake path; and
an electronic control unit configured to:
open the air bypass valve based on a change state of the detected opening degree of the throttle valve in a close direction even when the throttle valve is open; and
control the throttle valve in the close direction in acceleration shifting of the automatic transmission to execute torque reduction control which reduces a torque of the internal combustion engine,

wherein the electronic control unit maintains the air bypass valve in a close state in execution of the torque reduction control regardless of the change state of the opening degree of the throttle valve in the close direction.

2. The control device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic control unit is further configured to:
calculate a driver requesting torque parameter which indicates a torque which is requested by a driver of the vehicle;
calculate an internal combustion engine requesting torque parameter which indicates a torque which is requested by the internal combustion engine while the internal combustion engine requesting torque parameter reflects the torque requested by the driver and torque reduction for the torque reduction control; and
determine that the torque reduction control is being executed in a case where the automatic transmission is shifting and the driver requesting torque parameter is greater than the internal combustion engine requesting torque parameter.

3. The control device according to claim 2 , wherein the electronic control unit is further configured to:
control the throttle valve in an open direction in deceleration shifting of the automatic transmission to execute torque increase control which increases the torque of the internal combustion engine; and
determine that the torque increase control is being executed in a case where the automatic transmission is shifting and the driver requesting torque parameter is less than the internal combustion engine requesting torque parameter.

4. The control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a temperature parameter detection unit that detects a temperature parameter which indicates a temperature of the internal combustion engine,
wherein the electronic control unit executes control of an ignition timing in a retard direction as the torque reduction control in a case where the detected temperature parameter is higher than a prescribed value and executes control of the throttle valve in the close direction as the torque reduction control in a case where the temperature parameter is equal to or lower than the prescribed value.

5. A control device for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
a throttle valve opening degree sensor configured to detect an opening degree of a throttle valve which is provided downstream with respect to a compressor of a supercharger provided in an intake path of the internal combustion engine which is provided in a vehicle; and
circuitry configured to
open an air bypass valve based on a reduction change in the opening degree of the throttle valve detected by the throttle valve opening degree sensor even when the throttle valve is open, the air bypass valve being configured to open and close a bypass path which bypasses the compressor, the bypass path is a path that connects an upstream side of the compressor to a downstream side of the compressor,
control the throttle valve to reduce the opening degree of the throttle valve while an automatic transmission connected to the internal combustion engine is in an acceleration shifting in order to execute a torque reduction control in which a torque generated by the internal combustion engine is reduced, and
maintain the air bypass valve in a close state during the torque reduction control regardless of the reduction change in the opening degree of the throttle valve.
