Abstract:
Eine ECU 16 weist ein AGR-Ventil 15 dazu an, einen AGR-Durchlass 42 während des Einlasstakts einer Kraftmaschine zu öffnen/zu schließen. Dies erzeugt eine Schicht 61 hoher AGR-Konzentration und eine Schicht 62 niedriger AGR-Konzentration und führt diese bei unterschiedlichen Zeitgebungen zu einer Brennkammer 27 zu. Als ein Ergebnis wird dadurch ein Schichtungswachstum dieser Schichten 61 und 62 in der Brennkammer 27 gefördert. Eine Kontaktfläche zwischen den Schichten 61 und 62, die jeweils entlang der Achsrichtung der Brennkammer 27 gewachsen sind, wird im Wesentlichen gleich zu einer Querschnittsfläche, die senkrecht zu der Achsrichtung der Brennkammer 27 verläuft. Dies startet die Kraftstoffverbrennung zuerst an der Schicht 61 mit hoher AGR-Konzentration und verringert eine Verbrennungstemperatur des Kraftstoffs. Dadurch wird die Verbrennungstemperatur des Kraftstoffs verringert und die Zeitgebung zum Starten der Zündung in der Brennkammer 27 verzögert und damit werden eine Menge von NOx und Partikelstoffen sowie die Geräuschbildung reduziert.
Abstract:
An apparatus is provided to control injection of fuel into an engine with a combustion engine. The fuel is injected into the combustion chamber as a preliminary sub injection and a main injection following the preliminary sub injection. The preliminary sub injection repeats one or more times and is less in an amount of the fuel than the main injection. The apparatus comprises acquisition means and a control unit. The acquisition means acquires a parameter showing at least one of a state of an exhaust gas exhausted from the cylinder after the combustion of the fuel and a constituent of the exhaust gas. The control unit includes variably setting means for variably setting a mode of the preliminary sub injection depending on the parameter acquired by the acquisition means.
Abstract:
A compression ignition engine injects fuel through injection holes of an injector at a substantially constant injection rate to atomize the fuel so that the fuel can be easily vaporized and to make the fuel penetrate an atmosphere inside a cylinder. A spatial distribution of the injected fuel in which mixing of the fuel and air is promoted as the fuel recedes from the injection hole and the fuel reaches a premixing space where the fuel is premixed with the air is provided. The engine controls oxygen concentration inside the cylinder and an ignition delay so that a ratio of a quantity of the fuel injected before a start of ignition to a total fuel injection quantity falls within a range from 25% to 50% and so that the premixed gas formed in the premixing space is combusted serially.
Abstract:
A fuel injection device (1) is composed of a valve member (21 to 25) to open and close an injection hole (12b), a high pressure passage (50 to 53) for generating a basic pressure force to urge the valve member in a direction of opening the injection hole, an electromagnetic valve (30), first and second springs (15,16) for generating biasing forces to urge the valve member in a direction of closing the injection hole, and first and second control chambers (60,65) disposed in the fuel passages. The respective control chambers are communicated with the high pressure passage when the electromagnetic valve is not actuated and respective fuel pressure in the first and second control chambers urge the valve member in a direction of closing the injection hole, and the respective control chambers are communicated one after another at different timings to a low pressure conduit to reduce fuel pressure therein when the electromagnetic valve is actuated. With the device mentioned above, the valve member may be stepwise lifted to achieve variable fuel injection rate by controlling the control chambers in order to change a force balance with the basic pressure force and the biasing force.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel injection control device of an internal combustion engine achieving compatibility between a reduction in noises and NOx and a reduction in PM contained in discharge air.SOLUTION: The pressure of a fuel supplied to an injector 12 in pilot injection is set to be lower than the pressure of the fuel supplied to the injector 12 in main injection. Thus, the fuel jetted from the injector 12 in the pilot injection generates a thick mixture around the injector 12. Therefore, the ignitability of the fuel is improved even with a small amount of the pilot injection. On the other hand, in the main injection and after injection, the injector 12 jets the fuel at a pressure higher than that in the pilot injection. Therefore, the atomized fuel is supplied to a combustion chamber 18 that becomes high in pressure by the combustion of the fuel, and the combustion of the fuel is uniformized. Thus, the reduction in the noises and NOx and the reduction in the PM contained in the discharge air in the main injection and the after injection are achieved.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel injection control device for reducing smoke during emission, independently of operating conditions.SOLUTION: The fuel injection control device acquires a target value of a combustion parameter as a ratio of a cylinder oxygen amount to an after-injection amount at an ignition timing for after-injection (S402). The fuel injection control device calculates the ignition timing for the after-injection and a heat generation amount from a heat generation rate (S412, S414), and calculates a value (X_now) of an actual combustion parameter in the current combustion cycle from the cylinder oxygen amount and the after-injection amount calculated from a cylinder oxygen concentration at the ignition timing of the after-injection (S420). When a difference ΔX between a target value (X_target) of the combustion parameter and the actual value (X_now) of the combustion parameter is a predetermined threshold value or greater (S424:No), the fuel injection control device sets an after-injection amount and a main injection amount in the next combustion cycle for zeroing the difference ΔX to reduce smoke (S426, S428).
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an engine control apparatus, reducing burdens of conformance test work and map preparation work, avoiding degradation in controllability caused by mutual interference, and making engine output values get closer to request values even when controlled variables are restricted not to exceed a range of use. SOLUTION: Correlation between a plurality of sorts of combustion parameters and a plurality of sorts of controlled variables is defined by a controlled variables arithmetic expression 32 to calculate combinations of command values of the plurality of sorts of controlled variables with respect to target values of the plurality of sorts of combustion parameters by the controlled variables arithmetic expression 32, so that the burden of conformance test work is reduced. Even if the command value of the controlled variables calculated by using the controlled variables arithmetic expression 32 is restricted to be an upper limit value or a lower limit value because the instruction value exceeds the range of use, other controlled variables not restricted are feedback-corrected to make the plurality of sorts of combustion parameters get closer to the target values, so that the engine output values are controlled to get closer to the request values.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel property detecting apparatus and a fuel property detecting method capable of improving the accuracy in detecting a cetane number of used fuel. SOLUTION: In cetane number detection processing, when all of an operation index, an environment index and an intake index are satisfied (S140: YES), a pre-injection is performed with an initial setting quantity Qpf used as an injection quantity Qp and if a factor of non-generation exists, correction coefficient calculation processing is performed (S190). In the correction coefficient calculation processing, a temperature correction coefficient is acquired according to the factor of non-generation. When a factor of non-generation does not exist (or is eliminated), the injection quantity Qp is increased by a variation ΔQp (S180), torque sensitivity is derived according to a generated torque value acquired by a pre-injection at the increased injection quantity Qp and an increment of the injection quantity Qp at the pre-injection (S210), an estimated cetane number can is detected based on the derived torque sensitivity (S220) and then a cetane number with the estimated cetane number corrected is derived (S230).
