Abstract

A control device is configured to calculate a basic accelerator request torque based on an accelerator opening degree detected by an accelerator opening degree sensor, and calculate a target acceleration increase amount based on relations between the target acceleration increase amount and an accelerator opening degree increase amount. Further, the control device is configured to calculate a torque increase amount correction amount based on the target acceleration increase amount, calculate a request engine torque based on the basic accelerator request torque and the torque increase amount correction amount, calculate a request injection amount based on the request engine torque, and control a fuel injection valve based on the request injection amount. The relations are such that as a present operating state is close to a constraint, a ratio of the target acceleration increase amount and the accelerator opening degree increase amount becomes smaller.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A control device for an internal combustion engine comprising a fuel injection valve, and an accelerator opening degree sensor,
the control device comprising:
a basic accelerator request torque calculating section calculating a basic accelerator request torque based on an accelerator opening degree detected by the accelerator opening degree sensor; and
a target acceleration increase amount calculating section calculating a target acceleration increase amount based on a relation of the target acceleration increase amount and an accelerator opening degree increase amount,
wherein the control device calculates a torque increase amount correction amount based on the target acceleration increase amount, calculates a request engine torque based on the basic accelerator request torque and the torque increase amount correction amount, calculates a request injection amount based on the request engine torque, and controls the fuel injection valve based on the request injection amount, and
the relation of the target acceleration increase amount and the accelerator opening degree increase amount, which is used in calculation of the target acceleration increase amount, is such that as a present operating state is closer to a constraint, a ratio of the target acceleration increase amount and the accelerator opening degree increase amount becomes smaller.

2. The control device for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the relation of the target acceleration increase amount and the accelerator opening degree increase amount is set, based on a relation in which a ratio of the accelerator opening degree increase amount and the accelerator opening degree is proportional to a ratio of the target acceleration increase amount and a target acceleration.

3. The control device for an internal combustion engine according to claim 1 ,
wherein an increase amount per accelerator opening degree increase amount, of the request injection amount calculated by the control device at a time of accelerator opening degree increase becomes smaller as the present operating state is closer to the constraint.
