Abstract

A fuel injection control device controls a spark-ignition engine of an intra-cylindrical direct fuel injection type. The engine includes a fuel injection valve configured to directly inject a fuel to an interior of a cylinder, and a spark plug configured to ignite, by a spark, an air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder. When the injected fuel collides with a portion in a predetermined low-temperature state, the fuel is injected while changing a fuel injection condition under predetermined operating conditions so as to restrain a fuel spray from keeping colliding with the same position continuously.

Claims (18)

1. A fuel injection control device for a spark-ignition engine of an intra-cylindrical direct fuel injection type, the engine comprising:

a fuel injection valve configured to directly inject a fuel to an interior of a cylinder; and

a spark plug configured to ignite, by a spark, an air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder,

wherein

when the injected fuel collides with a portion in a predetermined low-temperature state, the fuel is injected while changing a fuel injection timing and a fuel injection pressure under predetermined operating conditions so as to restrain a fuel spray from keeping colliding with the same position continuously, and

an amount of change in the fuel injection timing is increased as the fuel injection pressure increases.

2. The fuel injection control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

an amount of change in the fuel injection timing is increased as an amount of fuel injection increases.

3. The fuel injection control device according to claim 1 ,

wherein

an amount of change in the fuel injection pressure is increased as an amount of fuel injection increases.

4. A fuel injection control method for a spark-ignition engine of an intra-cylindrical direct fuel injection type, the engine comprising:

a fuel injection valve configured to directly inject a fuel to an interior of a cylinder; and

a spark plug configured to ignite, by a spark, an air-fuel mixture inside the cylinder,

the fuel injection control method comprising:

when the injected fuel collides with a portion in a predetermined low-temperature state, injecting the fuel while changing a fuel injection timing and a fuel injection pressure under predetermined operating conditions so as to restrain a fuel spray from keeping colliding with the same position continuously; and

increasing an amount of change in the fuel injection timing as the fuel injection pressure increases.
