摘要:
This invention provides a heater control system applied to an air-fuel ratio sensor to prevent the sensor being cooled during an extended idling operation after high-load running. An oxygen concentration detecting element 111 of an air-fuel ratio sensor 11 is heated by a heater 112 installed in the sensor, and its temperature is controlled to about 650°C. When a radiator cooling fan functions during idling or low-speed running after high-load running, a controller 13 detects a function of the fan and increases an electric power supplied to the heater. The heater controller prevents the sensor thus being cooled by the fan and the detection accuracy of the sensor becoming worse.
摘要:
An ignition device for an internal combustion engine capable of suppressing not only a decrease in the discharge energy of the spark plug but also the LC resonance itself. When an igniter 13 is turned on by an ignition timing control unit 14 and a current flows into a primary coil 111 of the igniter 11, a FET 31 is turned off by the ignition timing control unit 14, whereby the primary coil is cut off from an LC resonance-absorbing resistor 32 to prevent a decrease in the current flowing into the primary coil. The ignition timing control unit 14 turns the igniter 13 off and turns the FET 31 on a predetermined period after the start of discharge of the secondary coil 112, whereby the primary coil and the LC resonance-absorbing resistor are connected together to absorb LC resonance after the discharge of the secondary coil, in order to suppress the occurrence of noise caused by LC resonance.

摘要:
A control device for an air-fuel ratio sensor (1) for detecting, from an oxygen concentration detecting device (2), a current corresponding to a concentration of oxygen contained in a gas by applying a voltage to the oxygen concentration detecting device (2). The control device detects an alternating impedance of the oxygen concentration detecting device (2) corresponding to each frequency by applying alternating voltages of a plurality of frequencies to the oxygen concentration detecting device (2) and analyzing each of the alternating impedances detected by the impedance detecting means (10,20) so as to calculate a parameter indicating a change in the characteristic of the oxygen concentration detecting device (2), and thereby achieve control of the air-fuel ratio sensor (1).
摘要:
A device for detecting knocking of an internal combustion engine which, even when spike noise is generated, does not erroneously detect it as knocking. An ionic current signal detected by an ionic current detecting unit 17 is separated into a knocking frequency component passing through a band-pass filter 32 and frequency components other than the knocking frequency component passing through a low-pass filter 321 and a high-pass filter 322. When the knocking frequency component is higher than a predetermined level, it is determined that the knocking is occurring. When the frequency component other than the knocking frequency component is higher than the predetermined level, it is regarded that the spike noise is generating, so that the generation of spike noise will not be erroneously determined as knocking.
摘要:
An exhaust sensor control system for an exhaust sensor (10) mounted in an exhaust path of an internal combustion engine is provided. The exhaust sensor (10) includes a sensor element (14) for generating an output in accordance with the status of an exhaust gas and a heater (24) for heating said sensor element (14). The exhaust sensor control system comprises cumulative lean time counting means (30, 188, 190) for counting, after internal combustion engine startup, the cumulative length of time during which the air-fuel ratio is lean; and heater control means (30, 186, 192) for controlling said heater (24) with a recovery target temperature, which is higher than a normal target temperature, set as a target temperature for said sensor element (14) until said cumulative length of time reaches a recovery determination value.
