Abstract

A control device for an internal combustion engine comprising a combustion control part controlling a fuel feed system and ozone feed system so as to form a difference in ozone concentration space-wise or time-wise in a combustion chamber 11 so that premixed gas burns by compression ignition in stages in the combustion chamber and an ozone malfunction judging part judging malfunction of the ozone feed system. The ozone malfunction judging part judges that the ozone feed system is malfunctioning when the self-ignition timing is retarded from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion noise is larger than the presumed combustion noise or when the self-ignition timing is advanced from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion noise is smaller than the presumed combustion noise.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A control device for an internal combustion engine for controlling an internal combustion engine comprising:
an engine body;
a fuel feed system configured to directly feed fuel to a combustion chamber of the engine body; and
an ozone feed system configured to directly or indirectly feed ozone to the combustion chamber,
the control device comprises:
a combustion control part configured to control the fuel feed system and the ozone feed system in a predetermined operating region so as to cause a difference in ozone concentration in the combustion chamber space-wise or time-wise so that the premixed gas burns inside the combustion chamber by compression ignition in stages; and
an ozone malfunction judging part configured to judge malfunction of the ozone feed system in the predetermined operating region,

the ozone malfunction judging part comprises:
a self-ignition timing detecting part configured to detect a self-ignition timing of the premixed gas;
a presumed self-ignition timing calculating part configured to calculate a presumed self-ignition timing of the premixed gas;
a combustion noise detecting part configured to detect combustion noise when making a premixed gas burn by compression ignition; and
a presumed combustion noise calculating part configured to calculate presumed combustion noise when making the premixed gas burn by compression ignition, and

the ozone malfunction judging part is configured to judge that the ozone feed system is malfunctioning when the self-ignition timing is retarded from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion noise is larger than the presumed combustion noise or when the self-ignition timing is advanced from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion noise is smaller than the presumed combustion noise.

2. A control device for an internal combustion engine for controlling an internal combustion engine comprising:
an engine body;
a fuel feed system configured to directly feed fuel to a combustion chamber of the engine body; and
an ozone feed system configured to directly or indirectly feed ozone to the combustion chamber,
the control device comprises:
a combustion control, part configured to control the fuel feed system and the ozone feed system in a predetermined operating region so as to cause a difference in ozone concentration in the combustion chamber space-wise or time-wise so that the premixed gas burns inside the combustion chamber by compression ignition in stages; and
an ozone malfunction judging part configured to judge malfunction of the ozone feed system in the predetermined operating region,

the ozone malfunction judging part comprises:
a self-ignition timing detecting part configured to detect a self-ignition timing of the premixed gas;
a presumed self-ignition timing calculating part configured to calculate a presumed self-ignition timing of the premixed gas;
a combustion duration detecting part configured to detect a combustion duration when making a premixed gas burn by compression ignition; and
a presumed combustion duration calculating part configured to calculate a presumed combustion duration when making the premixed gas burn by compression ignition, and

the ozone malfunction judging part is configured to judge that the ozone feed system is malfunctioning when the self-ignition timing is retarded from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion duration is shorter than the presumed combustion duration or when the self-ignition timing is advanced from the presumed self-ignition timing and the combustion duration is longer than the presumed combustion duration.

3. The control device for an internal combustion engine according to claim 2 , wherein
the control device further comprises a fuel malfunction judging part configured to judge malfunction of the fuel feed system and
the control device is configured to judge whether or not to make a judgment of malfunction of the ozone feed system by the ozone malfunction judging part based on the result of judgment of malfunction of the fuel feed system.
