Abstract

There is provided a control device of an engine that includes a turbo-supercharger and a variable valve mechanism, the control device including: a valve timing change means; an ignition timing change means; a fuel injection amount change means; an acceleration request detection means; a supercharging pressure detection means; and an acceleration control means that corrects, when the acceleration request is detected, retarding of ignition timing in a low supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is lower than a predetermined value, that completes the correction of the retarding of the ignition timing in a high supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is equal to or higher than the predetermined value to provide a valve overlap and that changes the fuel injection amount such that an air-fuel ratio at which a mixture air of a scavenging gas and an exhaust gas is easily burned within an exhaust passage is provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A control device of an internal combustion engine that includes a supercharger configured to be driven by exhaust energy, and a variable valve mechanism configured to be able to change valve timing, the control device comprising:
a valve timing change unit configured to control the variable valve mechanism;
an ignition timing change unit;
a fuel injection amount change unit;
an acceleration request detection unit configured to detect an acceleration request from a driver;
a supercharging pressure detection unit configured to detect a supercharging pressure produced by the supercharger; and
an acceleration control unit configured to:
correct, when the acceleration request is detected, an ignition timing to a retard side in a low supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is lower than a supercharging pressure at which a scavenging effect occurs,
complete a correction of a retarding of the ignition timing in a high supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is equal to or higher than the supercharging pressure at which the scavenging effect occurs to provide a valve overlap, and
change a fuel injection amount in the high supercharging region such that an air-fuel ratio of a mixture air of a scavenging gas and an exhaust gas within an exhaust passage becomes a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

2. The control device of the internal combustion engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the acceleration control unit starts the correction of the retarding of the ignition timing at a timing when a supercharging is started by the supercharger, and completes the correction of the retarding of the ignition timing at a timing when a supercharging pressure capable of obtaining a scavenging effect by provision of the valve overlap is reached.

3. The control device of the internal combustion engine according to claim 2 ,
wherein the supercharging pressure detection unit detects a supercharging pressure indirectly by detecting a collector pressure which is an air intake passage internal pressure by a side of a lower stream of a compressor of the supercharger, and
wherein the acceleration control unit determines, based on the collector pressure, the timing when the supercharging pressure capable of obtaining the scavenging effect by provision of the valve overlap is reached.

4. The control device of the internal combustion engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the acceleration control unit carries out the retard correction of the ignition timing when an acceleration request necessary for the supercharger to transfer from a non-supercharging state to a supercharging state is received.

5. The control device of the internal combustion engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein an amount of the correction of the retarding of the ignition timing is maximized at a start of the correction of the retarding, and is gradually decreased as a rotational speed of the supercharger is increased.

6. A control device of an internal combustion engine that includes a supercharger which is driven by exhaust energy, and a variable valve mechanism which can change valve timing, the control device comprising:
a valve timing change means for controlling the variable valve mechanism;
an ignition timing change means;
a fuel injection amount change means;
an acceleration request detection means for detecting an acceleration request from a driver;
a supercharging pressure detection means for detecting a supercharging pressure produced by the supercharger; and
an acceleration control means for
correcting, when the acceleration request is detected, an ignition timing to a retard side in a low supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is lower than a supercharging pressure at which a scavenging effect occurs,
completing the correction of a retarding of the ignition timing in a high supercharging region where the supercharging pressure is equal to or higher than the supercharging pressure at which the scavenging effect occurs to provide a valve overlap, and
changing a fuel injection amount in the high supercharging region such that an air-fuel ratio of a mixture air of a scavenging gas and an exhaust gas within an exhaust passage becomes a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
