A control device for controlling an engine includes main-chamber injecting means () that supplies a main chamber () with fuel; sub-chamber injecting means () that supplies a sub chamber () with fuel after the main chamber injecting means () supplies the fuel; estimating means () that estimates a degree of knocking serving as indices of an intensity of the knocking and an occurrence frequency of the knocking; and fuel controlling means () that carries out, when the degree (N) of the knocking is a first predetermined value (N) or more, fuel control that reduces a sub-chamber fuel amount representing an amount of fuel supplied by the sub-chamber injecting means (). By reducing the sub-chamber fuel amount in this manner, the occurrence of knocking can be suppressed, so that the combustion state of a divided-combustion-chamber engine can be enhanced.

Engine control device

A control device for an engine includes an angular velocity detecting unit that detects the angular velocity of a rotating shaft which is driven according to an output of an engine, an angular acceleration calculating unit that calculates angular acceleration based on the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity detecting unit, a heat generation timing calculating unit that calculates a certain timing when the ratio of an amount of heat generation in a cylinder to the total amount of heat generation of one cycle falls in a predetermined range, based on a change of the angular acceleration calculated by the angular acceleration calculating unit, and a combustion control unit that controls combustion in the cylinder by comparison between the certain timing calculated by the heat generation timing calculating unit and a predetermined heat generation timing reference value.

Control device of engine

An exhaust purification system includes an oxidation catalyst disposed in an exhaust passageway of an engine, and a filter disposed downstream of the oxidation catalyst in the exhaust passageway. The exhaust purification system further includes an outlet temperature setting section for setting, as an outlet target temperature, a target value for an exhaust temperature which is detected on the downstream side of the filter in the exhaust passageway. The system further includes a heat loss quantity computing section for computing a heat loss quantity radiated from the filter to outside the exhaust passageway when exhaust discharged from the engine passes through the filter; and an inlet temperature setting section for setting, as an inlet target temperature on an upstream side of the filter, a temperature obtained by adding a loss temperature reduced by the heat loss quantity to the outlet target temperature.
