PURPOSE:To improve the supercharge efficiency particlarly at low temperature and improve operation performance by providing a control means for varying the operation of a supercharger into strong or weak state and controlling said control means according to the output of a warming-state detecting means. CONSTITUTION:A supercharger 14 for a Roots pump, etc. revolved through a transmission means such as belt 50 by the output of a crankshaft 52 is installed into the suction pipe 2 of an internal-combustion engine, and a bypass control valve 56 as the control means for varying the operation of the supercharger 14 into strong or weak state is installed into a bypass passage 54 installed so as to make a detour around the supercharger 14. The opening degree of the control valve 56 is set so as to increase according to the rise of the temperatrure T of the cooling-water which is detected by a water- temperature sensor 80, and said control valve 56 is electric-conduction-controlled through a duty-ratio control circuit 57 controlled by a control circuit 70. Therefore, when the engine is at low temperature, the supercharge efficiency is improved by closing the control valve 56, and the operation performance at low temperature can be improved.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent the discharge of the uncombusted fuel from an exhaust port by prolonging the overlap period from the start of the opening of a suction valve to the closing of an exhaust valve and carrying-out fuel injection after the closing of the exhaust valve, when a supercharger is driven. CONSTITUTION:In high loading, a selector valve 45 is controlled by an electronic control part 50 so that the atmospheric pressure is introduced into an actuator 40. Then, the inside of a negative-pressure chamber 43 becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure, and a bypass valve 39 is urged by a spring 44 to close a bypass passage 38, and a supercharger 70 performs supercharge. In this case, a variable valve-timing mechanism 60 is controlled by the electronic control part 50, and cams 21 and 22 are relatively revolution-shifted with respect to the cam shafts 61 and 62, and the opening and closing timing of an intake valve 17 and an exhaust valve 18 is varied. Then, in high loading, the valve opening timing of the suction valve 17 is relatively advanced, and the valve opening timing of the exhaust valve 18 is relatively delayed, and fuel injection is carried-out after the closing of the exhaust valve 18.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To correct the control center of an ignition timing to the center of a control range and to improve fuel consumption and prevent the occurrence of transient knocking, by a method wherein, when the control center of the ignition timing is displaced from the center of a control range to the delay side, delay correction is applied on a valve timing. CONSTITUTION:Lead angle control or delay angle control is effected on the ignition timing of an internal-combustion engine 2 by a knocking control device 1 by means of a signal from a knocking sensor 1', and this prevents the occurrence of knocking. In this device, a valve timing control means 3 is provided for controlling the valve timing of the variable valve timing mechanism of the internal-combustion engine 2. Additionally,, a detecting means 5 is provided for detecting that an ignition timing controlled by the knocking control device 1 is regulated closer to the angle of delay side than a given value. The valve timing control means 3 is controlled by a valve timing delay setting means 6 so that the ignition time is adjusted to a valve timing on the angle of delay side by means of a signal from the detecting means 5.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve the fuel consumption rate without generating knocking by installing a means for setting an ignition-timing control means so that the ignition-timing on the advance-angle side is obtained by the signal supplied from a knock-sensor level detecting means. CONSTITUTION:A knocking detection sensor 1 is arranged on the body 2 of an internal-combustion engine. A detection means 5 detects that the output of the knocking detection sensor 1 reduces in comparison with a prescribed value. A delay-angle setting means 6 sets a valve-timing control means by the signal supplied from the detection means 5 so that the valve timing on the delay-angle side can be obtained. An ignition-timing advance-angle setting means 7 sets an ignition-timing control means 3 by the signal supplied from the detection means 5 so that the ignition-timing on the advance-angle side is obtained. Thus, the fuel consumption rate can be improved without generating knocking.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To improve durability in a supercharger, by holding down heat load as the higher in engine temperature the lower in a rate of operating time of the supercharger, while preventing knocking and overheating from occurring. CONSTITUTION:A suction air quantity Q and an engine speed N are detected by a driving condition detectig device 5, while engine temperature is detected by an engine high temperature state detecting device 7, and when it is judged as high temperature, a setting value changing device 8 changes the setting condition at a time when a clutch 4 is selected from release to engagement so as to cause a supercharging range to be narrowed. Therefore, a clutch operating device 6 operates so as to reduce a time rate for engagement of the clutch 4 in time of engine high temperature.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To eliminate shocks upon engagement of a clutch and as well to prevent the durability of the clutch from deteriorating, by setting the supercharging range in which the clutch is engaged, in a high rotational speed range upon extremely low temperature operation of an engine. CONSTITUTION:An operating condition detecting means 6 detects the amount Q of intake-air and the rotational speed N of an engine. Meanwhile a temperature detecting means 8 detects the temperature of cooling water and the temperature of lubrication oil, and judgement is made such that extremely low temperature operation should be taken when the temperature of water is below 0 deg.C or the temperature oil is below 0 deg.C. or when both are satisfied, and a setting value changing means 9 selects the set value of ratio of the intake-air amount and the rotational speed, which is larger than a normal value, thereby the range of a supercharger 60 in which a clutch operating means 7 is operated may be set to be narrower.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent deviation from regularity and realize a precise control by correcting a control means on a specific operational condition for the captioned control device which performs a multistage control of valve timing by means of a step motor. CONSTITUTION:Valve timing is controlled through moving roller bearings 44, 46 in slits 42, 40, formed on an outer sleeve 36 driven by means of a crankshaft 10 and an inner sleeve 38 connected to a cam shaft 18, by means of a stop motor 50 according to operational condition of an engine. Required valve timing is determined by means of an engine operational condition detection means 600, and whether or not an operational condition is appropriate for performing initialization of valve timing is decided by means of a decision means. In case of performing initialization, a mobile body 48 is once pressed to a stopper 36a or 50a and, through rotating by several steps, moved to a position of initialization slightly separated from the stopper to perform it. Correction of a control means 606 is performed in every initialization.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To prevent vibration in a device for controlling the phase between a crank shaft side sleeve and a cam shaft side sleeve with the use of a step motor, by energizing two winding phases to switch the timing and as well by energizing one winding phase to hold the motor. CONSTITUTION:The control of opening and closing of valves are such that bearings 44, 46 are moved by a step motor 50 in slits 40, 42 which are formed in a sleeve 38 driven by a crank shaft 10 and a sleeve 36 driving a cam shaft 18. A pulse motor 50 has two winding phases 200, 400 both of which are simultaneously energized upon switching of the timing to suppress vibration upon step rotation. Further by carrying out the energizing of one phase the motor is stably held. By intermittently issuing hold signals, consumption power upon holding may be saved.
