Abstract
An engine control device is provided. A fuel injection valve performs a pre-injection and a main injection on a retarding side of the pre-injection so that pressure waves resulting from combustions caused by the injections cancel each other out. The control device secures a fuel injection amount to be supplied to a combustion chamber in one cycle by at least the pre-injection, the main injection, and a middle injection. The control device causes the fuel injection valve to perform the pre-injection at a timing when a piston is located at an advancing side of compression top dead center for premix combustion, to start the main injection during a combustion period of the fuel injected by the pre-injection for diffuse combustion, and to perform the middle injection at a timing between the other two injections with a fuel injection amount less than the other injections.
