Air-fuel ratio control device of internal combustion engine
First Claim
1. An air-fuel ratio control device of an internal combustion engine, comprising a plurality of exhaust gas introduction means for independently introducing into each combustion chamber an exhaust gas discharged from combustion chambers to an exhaust passage,wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under an exhaust gas introduction shortage state in which an amount of the exhaust gas which can be introduced into the corresponding combustion chamber is smaller than a target amount thereof, a target value of an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas formed in the combustion chamber is changed depending on whether an exhaust gas introduction control for introducing the exhaust gas into the combustion chamber by the exhaust gas introduction means is performed.

Abstract
The invention relates to an air-fuel ratio control device of an internal combustion engine, comprising a plurality of means for independently introducing into each combustion chamber an exhaust gas discharged from combustion chambers to an exhaust passage. When at least one exhaust gas introduction means is under an exhaust gas introduction shortage state, a target value of an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas is changed depending on whether an exhaust gas introduction control for introducing the exhaust gas into the combustion chamber by the exhaust gas introduction means is performed.

3. An air-fuel ratio control device of an internal combustion engine, comprising a plurality of exhaust gas introduction means for independently introducing into each combustion chamber an exhaust gas discharged from combustion chambers to an exhaust passage,
wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under an exhaust gas introduction shortage state in which an amount of the exhaust gas which can be introduced into the corresponding combustion chamber is smaller than a target amount thereof and an exhaust gas introduction control for introducing the exhaust gas into the combustion chamber by the exhaust gas introduction means is performed, an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas formed in the combustion chamber is controlled by changing a target value of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas, and wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under the exhaust gas introduction shortage state and the exhaust gas introduction control is not performed, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is controlled using an amendment coefficient obtained when all of the exhaust gas introduction means are not under the exhaust gas introduction shortage state without changing the target value of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas.

5. An air-fuel ratio control device of an internal combustion engine, comprising a plurality of exhaust gas introduction means for independently introducing into each combustion chamber an exhaust gas discharged from combustion chambers to an exhaust passage,
wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under an exhaust gas introduction shortage state in which an amount of the exhaust gas which can be introduced into the corresponding combustion chamber is smaller than a target amount thereof and an exhaust gas introduction control for introducing the exhaust gas into the combustion chamber by the exhaust gas introduction means is performed, an air-fuel ratio of a mixture gas formed in the combustion chamber is controlled by changing a target value of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas, wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under the exhaust gas introduction shortage state, the exhaust gas introduction control is not performed, and an amendment coefficient for amending the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas to control the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas to the target value thereof is a value for compensating a stationary deviation of the air-fuel ratio, the air-fuel ratio is controlled using the amendment coefficient without changing the target value of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas, and wherein when at least one of the exhaust gas introduction means is under the exhaust gas introduction shortage state, the exhaust gas introduction control is not performed and the amendment coefficient is not a value for compensating a stationary deviation of the air-fuel ratio, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas is controlled using the amendment coefficient obtained when all of the exhaust gas introduction means are not under the exhaust gas introduction shortage state without changing the target value of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture gas.
