摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine utilizes a pre-stored standard relation between an air-fuel ratio sensor signal and a standard air-fuel ratio indicative value for deriving the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value based on the sensor signal. The system further utilizes a pre-stored modified relationship between the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value and a for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value for deriving a for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value based on the derived standard air-fuel ratio indicative value. In the modified relationship, the for-control air-fuel ratio indicative value varies with respect to a corresponding variation of the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value within a given range across the standard air-fuel ratio indicative value representing a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.

An air flow detecting element is located in the air flow to be measured. This air flow detecting element comprises a heater made of resistant material having a positive temperature coefficient and wound around a first heat resistant frame, a first heat sensitive element wound around the first frame together with the heater and made of resistant material having a positive temperature coefficient and receiving heat from the heater, and a second heat sensitive element wound around a second heat resistant frame and made of resistant material having a positive temperature coefficient, and serving to measure the temperature of the air. A bridge circuit comprises a series circuit consisting of the heater and fixed resistances connected in series with each other, and a series circuit consisting of the first and second heat sensitive elements connected in series with each other. Potential differences at the output terminal of this bridge circuit are compared by an OP amplifier. The base of a transistor, with controls the power source current relative to the bridge circuit, is controlled by the OP amplifier. An output voltage signal which corresponds to the value of the current flowing to the heater is detected and supplied as a terminal voltage of the fixed resistance.

An internal combustion engine control device is constructed to estimate an engine air intake quantity based on an engine speed when the engine is running in an intake air pulsation generating range to control the engine in accordance with the air intake quantity thus estimated. The estimated air intake quantity is corrected by a correction value which is related to the density of the intake air.
摘要:
In an apparatus for controlling an engine, as an air flow sensor for measuring intake air flow quantity, a heater resistor having temperature-resistance characteristic and a temperature sensitive resistor for sensing air temperature are provided in an intake passage, and heating electric power is supplied to the heater resistor in response to a start signal generated periodically. The heating electric power is cut off when the temperature of the heater resistor is raised to a specified reference temperature predetermined in accordance with the air temperature, so that an output signal indicative of the time width in which the heating electric power is supplied is applied to an electronic control unit to measure air flow quantity therefrom. Further, compensation coefficient stored in a memory is derived in correspondence to the intake air temperature sensed by the temperature sensitive resistor, and the output signal is compensated for by the compensation coefficient to compensate the measured air flow quantity. Based on the compensated air flow quantity, fuel injection quantity, ignition timing or the like is computed in the electronic control unit.

An engine control system has a heater and a temperature measuring element with a temperature-resistance characteristic. The heater and element are provided in the intake pipe of an engine. Heating, which initiated by a start pulse signal generated by an engine control unit in synchronism with engine rotation is supplied to the heater through a transistor. When the heater temperature has reached a reference temperature preset in accordance with the intake air temperature measured by the element, a comparator generates an output to deenergize the heater. The period of supplying the heating power is represented by a pulse signal from a flip-flop. This pulse signal is supplied as an airflow measurement signal to the engine control unit. The engine control unit calculates the basic fuel injection quantity and determines if the starting of the pulse signal received by the control unit falls within a predetermined period from the starting of the start pulse signal. If the starting has fallen outside the predetermined period, the output signal is considered to have been generated in response to a noise signal. In this case, a normal output signal next to the output signal generated in response to the noise signal is corrected.

An air flowrate measuring apparatus with a heat wire measures the flow rate of the air flowing through the intake pipe of an engine. The apparatus has a temperature sensitive element which has a specific temperature-resistance characteristic and is disposed in the intake pipe. Constant heating voltage is applied to this element in response to a start signal, thus heating the element. When the temperature of the element rises to a specified value, the application of the voltage is stopped. At the same time, a pulse signal whose width corresponds to the period of applying the voltage is generated. The signal is supplied to an interface circuit through a drive circuit driven by a reference voltage which has been also used to control the heating voltage. The interface circuit comprises two wave-shaping circuits. The first wave-shaping circuit has a filter means of a small integration time constant. The second wave-shaping circuit has a filter means whose integration time constant is large enough to remove noise from the input signal.

A heater, which comprises an element whose resistance varies with changes in temperature, and a temperature element are provided in the air intake pipe of an engine. This heater and temperature element together with resistors form a bridge circuit to which heating power is supplied via a transistor. An engine control unit generates start signals Tin simultaneously with the rotation of the engine. A flip-flop circuit is set by these start signals and, when set, the transistor is turned on and the heating power rises. The output signal from the bridge circuit is supplied to a comparator and the output signal of the comparator resets the flip-flop circuit, which outputs a pulse-shaped signal representing the airflow quantity as a length of time. This pulse-shaped time signal is sent via a constant current circuit to another comparator, where it is compared with a reference voltage and the output signal from the comparator is supplied together with the above time signal to an exclusive OR circuit. This exclusive OR circuit outputs a first and second pulse signal as the measurement output signal Tout synchronously with the rise and fall of the time signal and this signal is supplied to the engine control unit.
摘要:
An exhaust gas purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine includes a collector, which collects exhaust particles in exhaust gas. The apparatus computes a pressure-difference-based measured value of a collected amount of the particles based on a pressure difference, and computes a pressure-difference-based estimated value by correcting the measured value. The apparatus computes an operational-state-based estimated value of the collected amount. The apparatus regenerates the collector by burning the exhaust particles when one of the pressure-difference-based estimated value and the operational-state-based estimated value reaches a predetermined value. The apparatus computes a current pressure-difference-based estimated value by correcting a current pressure-difference-based measured value based on information related to an immediately preceding operational-state-based computing period such that the current pressure-difference-based estimated value ranges from the current measured value to a previous pressure-difference-based estimated value.
摘要:
A flow rate of gas supplied to a diesel particulate filter is increased when it is determined that rapid combustion of collected particulates, which are collected by the particulate filter, is likely to occur based on an operating state of an internal combustion engine. Alternatively, the flow rate of gas supplied to the filter is increased when it is determined that rapid combustion of the collected particulates is initiated based on a state of the particulate filter.
