INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL DEVICE AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18346578 titled 'INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL DEVICE AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an internal combustion engine control device that includes a temperature acquisition unit, a motoring execution unit, and an in-cylinder pressure control unit. The in-cylinder pressure control unit is configured to increase the in-cylinder pressure of the engine when the temperature is below a certain threshold during motoring.
- Temperature acquisition unit: Acquires the temperature of the internal combustion engine when it is requested to start.
- Motoring execution unit: Executes motoring of the engine using the motor when starting.
- In-cylinder pressure control unit: Controls the in-cylinder pressure based on the engine temperature, increasing pressure when the temperature is below a predetermined threshold.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in automotive engines, particularly in improving the starting process and overall performance of internal combustion engines.
Problems Solved
This technology helps optimize the starting process of internal combustion engines by controlling in-cylinder pressure based on engine temperature, leading to smoother and more efficient engine operation.

Original Abstract Submitted
An internal combustion engine control device includes: a temperature acquisition unit configured to acquire the temperature of an internal combustion engine at the time when it is requested to start the internal combustion engine; a motoring execution unit configured to execute motoring of the internal combustion engine using the motor when it is requested to start the internal combustion engine; and an in-cylinder pressure control unit configured to control the in-cylinder pressure of the internal combustion engine during the motoring based on the temperature of the internal combustion engine. The in-cylinder pressure control unit is configured to execute in-cylinder pressure increase control, in which the in-cylinder pressure is increased when the temperature of the internal combustion engine is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold temperature compared to when the temperature of the internal combustion engine is higher than the threshold temperature, since the motoring is started.
