Abstract

The invention provides an internal combustion engine control device capable of performing a stable combustion at a lean combustion limit. In an internal combustion engine control device that controls an internal combustion engine provided with an ignition device igniting an air-fuel mixture formed inside a combustion chamber, an intake side air temperature of the internal combustion engine is controlled in response to a compression ratio of the combustion chamber.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An internal combustion engine control device comprising:
a controller which controls an internal combustion engine provided with a fuel injection device directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber and an ignition device igniting an air-fuel mixture formed inside the combustion chamber and in which a target intake air temperature is set to have a negative correlation with respect to a compression ratio of the combustion chamber, wherein the controller is configured to:
control the fuel injection device so that a final injection timing of the fuel injection device before the ignition of the ignition device is retarded compared to an injection timing set when an intake side air temperature is equal to or higher than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber if the intake side air temperature of the internal combustion engine is lower than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber, and
control the ignition device so that an ignition timing of the ignition device is retarded compared to an ignition timing set when the intake side air temperature is equal to or higher than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber if the intake side air temperature of the internal combustion engine is lower than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber.

2. The internal combustion engine control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller increases a retardation amount of the injection timing as a difference between the target intake air temperature and the intake side air temperature increases if the intake side air temperature is lower than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber.

3. The internal combustion engine control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller increases a retardation amount of the ignition timing as a difference between the target intake air temperature and the intake side air temperature increases if the intake side air temperature is lower than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber.

4. The internal combustion engine control device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the controller increases a retardation amount of the injection timing as a difference between the target intake air temperature and the intake side air temperature increases if the intake side air temperature is lower than the target intake air temperature at the compression ratio of the combustion chamber.
