PURPOSE:To perform sensitivity compensation accurately all the time by calculating the specified torque on the basis of a signal out of a sensor detecting the extent of combustion pressure in an internal combustion engine, and compensating the sensor's sensitivity according to a ratio of the calculated torque to a fuel quantity to be fed to the engine. CONSTITUTION:An internal combustion engine is provided with a sensor 38 detecting the combustion pressure. In this case, there is provided with a device 1 which calculates the specified torque on the basis of a combustion pressure signal out of this sensor 38. And, also there is provided with a device 2 which detects a fuel quantity to be fed to the engine. And, on the basis of a ratio of the specified torque to a fuel supply, there is also provided with a device 3 which compensates sensitivity of the sensor 38. With this constitution, a sensitivity variation in the sensor 38 is accurately compensated irrespective of any variation in a driving state in the engine, thus an accurate measured value is secured at all times.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To permit the correct control without finely dividing the division angle by calculating the correction quantity of the crank angle detection value according to the pressure difference at the position at which the compression top dead center detected in motoring is interposed. CONSTITUTION:The pressure in a combustion chamber 18 in the motoring such as in fuel cut and cranking is highest at the compression top dead center. However, when the standard signal supplied from the first crank angle sensor 32 does not coincide with the compression top dead center, the peak of the compression pressure shifts from the compression top dead center which the standard signal detects. Therefore, in a control circuit 40, the difference of the compression pressure detected by a pressure sensor 31 is detected at the objective crank angle, keeping the compression top dead center detected by the second crank angle sensor 33 interposed, and the correction quantity of the crank angle detection value is calculated by a crank angle sensor 32. Therefore, the sufficient precision can be obtained, even with a considerably wide pressure detecting interval.

PURPOSE:To enable stable combustion to be obtained in an internal-combustion engine, by correcting both the target air-fuel ratio and also the target ignition timing to be controlled on the basis of intake temperature data from an operation condition detecting means. CONSTITUTION:An air-fuel ratio control means (c) performs a feedback control so as to obtain air-fuel ratio on the basis of a load, speed and air-fuel ratio of an internal-combustion engine (a) detected by an operation condition detecting means (b). While an ignition timing control means (d) simultaneously performs a control so as to provide ignition in the proper timing. Next, if an outside temperature changes, a control device, on the basis of intake temperature data from the detecting means (b), corrects the target air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel ratio control means (c) by an air-fuel ratio correcting means (e) simultaneously the target ignition timing of the ignition timing control means (d) by an ignition timing correcting means (f). In this way, stable combustion can be obtained in the internal-consumption engine, accordingly its operative performance and fuel consumption are improved.

PURPOSE:To improve stability in a low speed range, by closing a swirl control valve in a zone other than a high load running range, and controlling a fuel injection valve for injection to each cylinder independently, in case of a device which installs the swirl control valve at the downstream of the fuel injection valve. CONSTITUTION:A control circuit 30 calculates fundamental injection time from an ignition timing map on the basis of each output of an engine speed sensor 28 and a suction pipe pressure sensor 10 in time of engine running. In addition, according to the compensation factor calculated on the basis of each output of a suction temperature sensor 2 and a water temperature sensor 20, the fundamental injection time is compensated. At mentioned above, after compensation of the fundamental injection time, whether it is a high load range or not is judged by suction pipe pressure or a throttle signal out of a throttle valve opening sensor 6, and in the high load range, a swirl control valve 36 is set to open whereby a fuel injection valve 16 is controlled for injection in synchronization with each cylinder. And, at a zone other than the highload range, the said valve 36 is closed and the fuel injection valve 16 is controlled for injection to each cylinder independently.
