摘要:
The invention relates to a method for assessing the operability of a catalytic converter (7) mounted in the exhaust gas system (6) of an internal combustion engine (1). The inventive method comprises the following steps: recording the signal (USHK) of an exhaust gas probe (9) situated behind the catalytic converter; forming a limit value model amplitude (AHKF) from at least one quantity (ML, n) occurring upstream from the catalytic converter (7); forming a catalytic converter assessment quantity (DKATI) whose value increases with a growing difference of the amplitude (AHK) of the signal (USHK) from the limit value model amplitude (AHKF); assessing the operability of the catalytic converter (7) based on the catalytic converter assessment quantity (DAKTI), and; ceasing the assessment when an oxygen-dependent catalytic converter load (KATIN) exceeds or falls below a threshold value. The method is characterized in that the threshold value is predetermined according to the signal (USHK) of the exhaust gas probe (9) situated behind the catalytic converter.

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine, in particular for a motor vehicle, which is provided with a catalytic converter upon which hydrocarbons can impinge. The conversion capacity of the catalytic converter can be determined by an electronic control device, using a combination of a passive and an active diagnostic procedure (27, 31).

The invention relates to a system for operating a heating element (114) of a ceramic sensor (112) which is fitted in the exhaust gas channel (104) of an internal combustion engine (100) and can be heated by the heating element (114). If the operating mode of the internal combustion engine (100) is such that there could be liquid in its exhaust gas channel (104), the heating element (114) is not operated or is controlled in such a way that the ceramic sensor (112) is run below a critical temperature (TSeK). Above the critical temperature (TSe) there is the danger that the ceramic sensor (112) may be damaged by contact with the liquid.

In a process for adjusting the quantities of air and fuel in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine with individual injection for each cylinder as far as possible, the quantity of fuel for each injection cycle is calculated taking account of the probable inlet pipe pressure during the period of opening of the inlet valve. After a change in the position of the accelerator pedal the throttle valve is not adjustable until the quantities of fuel dictating the new throttle valve setting have been calculated and essentially injected. Because the quantities of fuel to be injected are calculated with reference not to the current flow of air but to the determinant inlet pipe pressure during the inlet cycle and as a change in the throttle valve control which would cause a change in the inlet pipe pressure not taken into account in the injection quantity calculation is permitted only after a fresh calculation, there is, even with the internal combustion engine is unstable modes, an optimum ratio between the quantities of fuel and air per injection to maintain a predetermined air/fuel ratio. Besides the future inlet pipe pressure, account is also taken in calculating the quantity of fuel to be injected of the quantity of fuel which is transferred to or released from a wall film.

A control and regulating system for adjusting the air/fuel mixture of an internal combustion engine (12) comprises an oxygen probe (lambda probe) (14) exposed to the exhaust hums of the engine (12) which emits an output signal which is an index for the air coefficient lambda. A basic memory (10) stores the fuel dosing times which are used for a preliminary control of the internal combustion engine (12) until a predetermined air coefficient lambda is obtained. A target value memory (18) stores target values of the air coefficient and a regulating device (20) corrects the fuel dosing times read in a basic memory (10) in function of the output signal measured by the lambda probe (14) and a corresponding target value read in a target value memory (18). The reciprocal of the air coefficient lambda is stored in a target value memory (18). Each fuel dosing time in a basic memory (10) is linked by multiplication to the corresponding reciprocal of the air coefficient lambda read in a target value memory (18). A conversion device (16) converts the output signal to a corresponding reciprocal of the air coefficient lambda by means of a relation characteristic of the probe and known at least approximately between the output signal of the lambda probe (14) and the air coefficent lambda. By taking into account the linear relation between the reciprocal of the air coefficent lambda and the quantity of fuel (fuel dosing time), rapid and precise regulation is achieved by means of a simple linear regulating device.

The digital device for regulating the running speed of a motor vehicle comprises means (47, 51, 52) giving the value of the actual speed, storage means (46) for storing an order value proportional to the desired speed, means (60, 62, 119) for effecting a comparison between the real value and the order value, and regulating means (78, 100) which may be controlled by the difference between these values and acting for example on the throttle valve. By actuating a key (14 to 16) the real value is transferred into the storage means of the order value (46) and gives the running speed. To value the running speed, second means have been provided for storing the order value (41) wherein a ramp may be generated by digital counting processes. During such variation of the speed, the value of the moment of the ramp provides an additional order value, so that the speed is brought to the new value by means of this additional value. The ramp presents preferably two different gradients respectively, one gradient becoming always lower.
