A regulating device for an internal combustion engine includes a housing in which is formed an exhaust gas recirculation pipe which opens into an intake pipe, and a regulating element eccentrically mounted on a shaft. The regulating element includes a first surface, a second surface, and guide ribs arranged on the second surface so that an exhaust gas flow flows into the intake pipe when the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is opened. In a first end position of the regulating element, where the intake pipe is at throttled upstream of an opening of the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, a normal vector of the first surface points to an upstream side of the intake pipe. In a second end position of the regulating element, where the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is closed, a normal vector of the second surface points to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe.

A regulating device for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas recirculation pipe which opens into an intake pipe which are both formed in a housing, and a regulating element eccentrically mounted on a shaft. The shaft is arranged perpendicular to a center line of the intake pipe and the exhaust gas recirculation pipe. The regulating element includes a first surface, a second surface, and guide ribs arranged on the first surface. In a first end position of the regulating element, in which the intake pipe is at least throttled upstream of an opening of the exhaust gas recirculation pipe, a normal vector of the first surface points to an upstream side of the intake pipe. In a second end position of the regulating element, in which the exhaust gas recirculation pipe is closed, a normal vector of the second surface points to the exhaust gas recirculation pipe.

A low-pressure loop EGR device for an engine with a supercharger, EGR passage, and EGR valve. An ECU controls the EGR valve to fully close, the intake valve to fully open, and the throttle valve to open at a sonic opening degree during deceleration and fuel cut-off. The ECU obtains an actual opening degree of the throttle valve based on the detected intake amount and a predetermined reference formula of valve passing flow rate. The ECU performs correction control of the throttle valve based on a throttle opening degree correction value learned from a difference of the actual opening degree and the predetermined opening degree. The ECU obtains an actual opening degree of the intake valve similarly to the above, and performs correction control of the intake valve based on an intake opening degree correction value learned by the difference between the actual opening degree and the predetermined opening degree.

An exhaust gas recirculation control device controls an exhaust gas recirculation device that includes an exhaust gas recirculation passage adapted to circulate a portion of exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine from an exhaust passage downstream of a turbine of a turbo supercharger along an exhaust flow to an intake passage upstream of a compressor of the turbo supercharger along an intake flow and downstream of an air flow meter along the intake flow, and a recirculation control valve adapted to adjust an amount of exhaust gas circulated to the intake passage. Furthermore, the exhaust gas recirculation control device includes recirculation ratio setting means adapted to set a lower target recirculation ratio for a smaller intake air amount of the internal combustion engine.

In a control device of an internal-combustion engine according to the disclosure, an intake throttle valve (25) for adjusting an EGR valve differential pressure (PEGR) is provided, an EGR valve upstream pressure (PEGR0) is estimated by using a target fresh air amount (GAIRCMD) (step 6), a target differential pressure (PEGRCMD) is set to a smaller value as the target fresh air amount (GAIRCMD) becomes smaller (FIG. 5), and a difference between the EGR valve upstream pressure (PEGR0) and the target differential pressure (PEGRCMD) is set as a target valve downstream pressure (P1CMD) (step 7). By using the target fresh air amount (GAIRCMD), the EGR valve upstream pressure (PEGR0), and the target valve downstream pressure (P1CMD), the target EGR valve opening degree (LEGRCMD) is set (step 23), and an EGR valve (43) is controlled based on the target EGR valve opening degree (step 24).
