Abstract

A control device for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve, and a port injection fuel injection valve, has a controller that controls injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine. A fuel cut is performed at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine. The injection amount ratio of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve is corrected to be decreased at a fuel cut recovery at which a fuel supply is restarted from the fuel cut state, during a predetermined period from the start of the recovery.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A control device for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a port injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject the fuel into an intake port, comprising:
a controller that controls injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine,
wherein a fuel cut is performed at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine,
wherein the injection amount ratio of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve is corrected to be decreased at a fuel cut recovery at which a fuel supply is restarted from the fuel cut state, during a predetermined period from the start of the recovery, and
wherein the predetermined period is set to a longer period as the fuel cut time period from a start of the fuel cut to the start of the recovery is longer.

2. A control device for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a port injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject the fuel into an intake port, comprising:
a controller that controls injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine,
wherein a fuel cut is performed at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine,
wherein the injection amount ratio of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve is corrected to be decreased at a fuel cut recovery at which a fuel supply is restarted from the fuel cut state, during a predetermined period from the start of the recovery, and
wherein a combustion chamber wall temperature at the start of the recovery is estimated or sensed; and the predetermined period is set to a longer period as the combustion chamber wall temperature at the start of the recovery is lower.

3. A control device for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a port injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject the fuel into an intake port, comprising:
a controller that controls injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine,
wherein a fuel cut is performed at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine,
wherein the injection amount ratio of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve is corrected to be decreased at a fuel cut recovery at which a fuel supply is restarted from the fuel cut state, during a predetermined period from the start of the recovery,
wherein a combustion chamber wall temperature at the start of the recovery is estimated or sensed, and
wherein the decrease correction of the injection amount ratio is finished when the combustion chamber wall temperature becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined temperature during the predetermined period.

4. A control method for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a port injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject the fuel into an intake port, comprising:
controlling injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine;

setting the predetermined period to a longer period as the combustion chamber wall temperature at the start of the recovery is lower.

5. A control method for an internal combustion engine including an in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject a fuel into a combustion chamber, and a port injection fuel injection valve arranged to inject the fuel into an intake port, comprising:
controlling injection amount ratios of the in-cylinder injection fuel injection valve and the port injection fuel injection valve in accordance with a driving condition of the engine;
performing a fuel cut at a predetermined deceleration of the internal combustion engine;
