Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when an injection hole opening / closing valve is located at a first position, injection is performed from both a first injection hole and a second injection hole, and the injection hole opening / closing valve is located at a second position. A fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine in which injection is performed from a first injection hole when injection is not performed and injection is not performed from a second injection hole is known. An example of this type of fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-351105. In the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine described in JP-A-11-351105, when the pressure in the hydraulic chamber that urges the injection hole opening / closing valve in the valve closing direction is reduced, the injection hole opening / closing valve moves to the high lift position. In this case, the injection is performed from both the first injection hole and the second injection hole. On the other hand, when the pressure in the hydraulic chamber that urges the injection hole opening / closing valve in the valve closing direction is increased, the injection hole opening / closing valve is arranged at the low lift position, and at that time, injection is performed only from the first injection hole, No injection is performed from the second injection hole.

JP-A-351105 does not disclose how to control the injection hole opening / closing valve when the engine operating condition required to arrange the injection hole opening / closing valve at the low lift position continues for a long time. Accordingly, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-35110
In the fuel injection control device for an internal combustion engine described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 5 (1999) -2000, even when the engine operating condition required to dispose the injection hole opening / closing valve at the low lift position continues for a long time, the injection hole opening / closing valve operates at a low lift. It is believed that it will continue to be placed in the location. However, when the injection hole opening / closing valve is kept at the low lift position for a relatively long period of time and no injection is performed from the second injection hole, deposits are deposited near and inside the outlet of the second injection hole. Then, there is a possibility that the second injection hole is clogged.

Then, the needle valve 2 estimated in step 102
It is determined whether or not the low lift operation as shown in FIG. 2 is performed based on the lift amount. When the low lift operation as shown in FIG. 2 is being performed, the process proceeds to step 104. In step 104, the low lift counter that indicates the continuous operation time by the low lift, that is, the low lift counter that indicates the amount of deposits deposited near or inside the outlet of the second injection hole 5 is incremented. On the other hand, when the high lift operation as shown in FIG. 3 is being performed, the process proceeds to step 105, where the low lift counter is decremented. Next, at step 106, it is determined whether or not the low lift counter has exceeded a predetermined determination value. That is, it is determined whether or not the engine operating condition for disposing the needle valve 2 at the low lift position (see FIG. 2) has continued for a predetermined period. If YES, the process proceeds to step 107, and if NO, the routine ends without changing the value of the low lift counter. Step 107
Then, the flag indicating the clog clearing mode is turned ON.
Next, at step 108, the removal number counter indicating the necessity of the exhaust stroke injection is set to FULL. Next, at step 109, the low lift counter is cleared.

位置に配置して燃料噴射を実行することも可能である。In step 110, the needle valve 2 is forcibly placed in the high lift position (see FIG. 3), and the exhaust stroke injection is executed. That is, when the routine shown in FIG.
It is determined that the engine operating condition for locating at the low lift position (see FIG. 2) has continued for a predetermined period, and if the flag indicating the clogging removal mode has been turned on in step 107, the routine shown in FIG. 4 is executed this time. When the flag indicating the clogging removal mode is turned on in step 101,
Is determined, the needle valve 2 is forcibly arranged at the high lift position in step 110, and the exhaust stroke injection is executed. Fuel injected during the exhaust stroke is rendered harmless by an HC purifier such as an oxidation catalyst disposed in the engine exhaust passage. When the needle valve 2 is arranged at the high lift position and fuel is injected from the second injection hole 5 at a high pressure, deposits deposited near and inside the outlet of the second injection hole 5 are removed by the force of the spray. In the present embodiment, the exhaust stroke injection is performed when the needle valve 2 is forcibly arranged at the high lift position in step 110. However, in other embodiments, the exhaust stroke injection is performed at such a timing that the output torque of the internal combustion engine does not change. If so, it is possible to forcibly arrange the needle valve 2 at the high lift position at a timing other than the exhaust stroke to execute the fuel injection.

Next, at step 112, it is determined whether or not the removal number counter has been decremented to zero. When the number-of-removals counter is decremented to zero, the flag indicating the clog removal mode is turned off in step 113. On the other hand, if the number-of-removals counter has not been decremented to zero, this routine is terminated without executing step 113. That is, the exhaust stroke injection in which the needle valve 2 is forcibly arranged at the high lift position is executed every time the routine shown in FIG. 4 is executed until the removal number counter becomes FULL to zero.

When it is determined in step 106 that the engine operating condition for disposing the engine at the low lift position (see FIG. 2) has continued for a predetermined period, in step 110, the second injection hole 5 is forcibly forced.
The injection is performed from. Specifically, when it is determined in step 106 that the engine operating condition for disposing the needle valve 2 at the low lift position has continued for a predetermined period, the second injection hole 5
The injection is forcibly performed from the second injection hole 5 in step 110 even under the engine operating condition where it is not required to perform the injection from the second injection hole. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the needle valve 2 from being kept at the low lift position for a relatively long period of time so that the injection is not performed at all from the second injection hole 5. Therefore, for a relatively long period of time, since no injection is performed from the second injection hole 5 at all, the deposit continues to accumulate near or inside the outlet of the second injection hole 5 and the second injection hole 5 Clogging can be avoided.

In this case, the injection is forcibly performed from the second injection holes 5 during the exhaust stroke that hardly affects the output torque of the internal combustion engine. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the output torque of the internal combustion engine from changing due to the forced injection from the second injection hole 5 under the engine operating condition in which the injection from the second injection hole 5 is not required. can do.
