Method and Apparatus for Controlling an Internal Combustion Engine
First Claim
1. A control device for an internal combustion engine, which comprise a turbocharger, of which turbo flow rate is made variable, and an intake valve provided with a variable valve mechanism and in which mirror cycle is performed,the control device comprising:
- means, which calculates an intake air quantity per unit time and an intake air quantity per cycle on the basis of torque required to the internal combustion engine;
means, which controls the turbocharger so that with the intake air quantity per unit time, supercharging pressure is further increased in that range, in which a ratio of supercharging pressure and exhaust pressure is equal to or less than a predetermined value; and
means, which controls the variable valve mechanism on the basis of the supercharging pressure and the intake air quantity per cycle.

15. A method of controlling an internal combustion engine comprising a turbocharger, of which turbo flow rate made variable, and an intake valve provided with a variable valve mechanism and in which mirror cycle is performed, the method comprising:
-
controlling the variable valve mechanism to increase an opened duration of the intake valve as torque required to the internal combustion engine increases stepwise; and controlling the turbocharger to increase turbo flow rate and at the same time, controlling the variable valve mechanism to decrease an opened duration of the intake valve when torque of the internal combustion engine reaches the required torque. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
