摘要:
An intake valve control apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a first variable valve operating mechanism (5) capable of varying an operation angle of an intake valve (3) continuously, a second variable valve operating mechanism (6) capable of varying a maximum lift phase of the intake valve (3) continuously, and a controller (10) that controls an intake air amount mainly by varying the operation angle and the maximum lift phase of the intake valve. The controller is configured to, when one of the first and second variable valve operating mechanisms (5, 6) is at a phase position different from a predetermined start stage phase position at engine start, correct a phase position of the other of the first and second variable valve operating mechanisms (5, 6) in accordance with a present phase position of the one of the first and second variable valve operating mechanisms (5, 6). An intake valve control method is also provided.
摘要:
A control system for an internal combustion engine having a variable valve operating mechanism (1) capable of varying at least one of a valve lift and an operation angle of an engine valve (11) continuously is provided. The control system comprises a detecting device (19) that detects an operating condition of the variable valve operating mechanism (1) and an operating condition of the engine and produces a signal representative thereof, and a controller (18) that controls the operating condition of the variable valve operating mechanism (1) in response to the signal from the detecting device. The controller (18) is programmed to determine whether an operation responsiveness of the variable valve operating mechanism (1) is lowered based on the signal from the detecting device and vary operational characteristics of the variable valve operating mechanism (1) when the operation responsiveness of the variable valve operating mechanism (1) is lowered. A control method is also provided.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine comprises a variable valve control device that varies a lift degree of an intake valve, an air intake passage led to an intake port of the engine that is incorporated with the intake valve and a fuel injection valve arranged to inject fuel into the intake port. The fuel injection valve has a first injection mode wherein each fuel injection shot is entirely carried out during opening period of the intake valve and a second-injection mode wherein each fuel injection shot entirely finishes prior to opening action of the intake valve. A control unit is further employed by the engine, which allows the fuel injection valve to select one of the first and second injection modes in accordance with the lift degree of intake valve effected by the variable valve control device.

摘要:
In an engine employing a variable lift and working angle control mechanism enabling both a valve lift and a working angle of an intake valve to be continuously simultaneously varied depending on engine operating conditions, the control mechanism includes at least a rocker arm and a control shaft (12) formed integral with an eccentric cam. The valve lift characteristic of the control mechanism varies by changing an angular position of the control shaft. A control-shaft position sensor (14) has a directivity for the sensor output error occurring owing to a change in relative position between the control shaft center and the position sensor. The error becomes a minimum value in a specified direction of relative position change. The specified direction of relative position change is set to be substantially identical to a direction of a line of action of load acting on the center of the control shaft (12) during idling.
摘要:
In an engine capable of continuously controlling an intake air quantity by varying an intake valve operating characteristic, an intake valve lift is sensed as well as an engine speed. Then, an intake air quantity is calculated in accordance with the engine speed and intake valve lift: when an engine operating point is in a very low lift state.
