First Claim
Patent Images
1. An operation method of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle including the internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas purification catalyst which is provided in a exhaust system of the internal combustion engine, comprising:
- determining whether an operation of the internal combustion engine should be stopped during a vehicle operation;
detecting a temperature of the catalyst; and
determining not to stop the internal combustion engine when the detected temperature of the catalyst is higher than a predetermined threshold value, wherein the predetermined threshold value is lower than a permissible upper limit value, at which a thermal deterioration of the catalyst is prevented, by at least an increase amount of the catalyst temperature immediately after the stop of the internal combustion engine.

Abstract
In an operation of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle in which an operation of the internal combustion engine is stopped by a control of a vehicle operation control device during a vehicle operation, the control determination includes a determination that the internal combustion engine is not stopped when a temperature of the catalyst is not equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value.

7. An operation method of an internal combustion engine for a vehicle including the internal combustion engine and an exhaust gas purification catalyst which is provided in a exhaust system of the internal combustion engine, comprising:
-
determining whether an operation of the internal combustion engine should be stopped during a vehicle operation;
detecting a temperature of the catalyst; and
not stopping the internal combustion engine when the detected temperature of the catalyst is higher than a predetermined threshold value, even if it is determined that the operation of the internal combustion engine should be stopped, wherein the predetermined threshold value is lower than a permissible upper limit value, at which a thermal deterioration of the catalyst is prevented, by at least an increase amount of the catalyst temperature immediately after the stop of the internal combustion engine.

8. An operation device of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a detector that detects a temperature of a catalyst of an exhaust gas purification catalyst which is provided in a exhaust system of the internal combustion engine, and a controller that determines whether an operation of the internal combustion engine is automatically stopped during a vehicle operation, and that determines not to stop the internal combustion engine when the temperature of the catalyst which is detected by the detector is higher than a predetermined threshold value, wherein the predetermined threshold value is lower than a permissible upper limit value, at which a thermal deterioration of the catalyst is prevented, by at least an increase amount of the catalyst temperature immediately after the stop of the internal combustion engine. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
