Abstract

Provided is an engine control device which controls at least an intake valve, an exhaust valve, and a fuel injection valve injecting a fuel into an intake pipe such that internal EGR is realized, in which timing of opening and closing of the intake valve is set to be later in comparison with a reference operation state which is a first operation state and timing of closing of the exhaust valve is set to be earlier in comparison with the reference operation state, and the fuel injection valve is caused to inject the fuel in a period which is: after a piston starts to rise which had been passed through a bottom dead center for the first time after an exhaust stroke is finished, which is followed by closing of the intake valve; and before the intake valve is opened.

Claims (9)

1. An engine control device which controls at least an intake valve, an exhaust valve, and a fuel injection valve injecting a fuel into an intake pipe, based on a crank angle of an engine provided with the fuel injection valve, such that internal EGR is realized,

wherein timing of opening and closing of the intake valve is set to be later in comparison with a reference operation state which is a first operation state and timing of closing of the exhaust valve is set to be earlier in comparison with the reference operation state,

wherein the fuel injection valve is caused to inject a fuel in a first period,

the first period being only within a second period between when the piston starts to rise after passing through a bottom dead center for the first time after the exhaust stroke is finished and when the piston reaches a top dead center, and

the first period including at least a third period between when the piston starts to rise after passing through the bottom dead center for the first time after the exhaust stroke is finished and when the intake valve is closed, and

wherein the fuel from the fuel injection valve is blown to a gas that flows backward from an inside of a cylinder to an inside of the intake pipe and is blown to the fuel injection valve.

2. The engine control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the engine is provided with a second fuel injection valve that directly injects a fuel into the cylinder, and

wherein the second fuel injection valve is caused to inject the fuel during the second period between when the intake valve is closed after the piston passes through the bottom dead center for the first time after the exhaust stroke is finished and when the piston reaches the top dead center.
