摘要:
To accurately specify an EGR rate from an output value of an in-cylinder pressure sensor, a specifying method of an EGR rate in an internal combustion engine of the present invention acquires an output value of an in-cylinder pressure sensor at an intake stroke to calculate comparison data related to an in-cylinder pressure at the intake stroke from the acquired sensor output value. An output value of the in-cylinder pressure sensor at an exhaust stroke of the same cycle is also acquired to calculate comparison data related to the in-cylinder pressure at the exhaust stroke from the acquired sensor output value. Two comparison data are compared to specify the EGR rate of an air-fuel mixture provided for combustion from a difference between the values.

A torque estimating system for an internal combustion engine including a plurality of cylinders is provided that is capable of accurately estimating torque for each cylinder.A cylinder pressure of a CPS-mounted cylinder #1 is acquired (step 100). Measured indicated torque Te1 resulting from an explosion in the CPS-mounted cylinder #1 is calculated based on the cylinder pressure (step 102). A first angular acceleration dω1/dt and a second angular acceleration dω2/dt are calculated (steps 104 to 106). Estimated indicated torque Te2 resulting from an explosion in a CPS-less cylinder #2 is calculated using the measured indicated torque Te1 of the CPS-mounted cylinder #1 and a difference value between the second angular acceleration dω2/dt and the first angular acceleration dω1/dt (step 108). If a cylinder pressure sensor is to be disposed in a plurality of cylinders, cylinders in which the CPS is disposed are set such that the number of cylinders in which the explosion takes place between the cylinders having the CPS is equal.

An oxygen concentration detector includes an air-fuel ratio sensor, a heater that heats the air-fuel ratio sensor, a heater controller that supplies electric power to the heater such that the air-fuel ratio sensor reaches an activation temperature, and an element temperature detector that detects a temperature of an element of the air-fuel ratio sensor. The heater controller detects a rate of decrease in the temperature of the element of the air-fuel ratio sensor based on the temperature detected by the element temperature detector, and determines that the sensor element is wetted when the detected rate of decrease is greater than a reference value. The element temperature detector can detect the sensor element temperature based on an impedance of the element. The heater controller can prevent the supply of electric power to the heater if it is determined that the sensor element is wetted. The air-fuel ratio sensor can be provided in an exhaust passage of an engine.

A spring device consists of a coil spring case formed of right, left, back and front side plates and a spring receiving plate, a coil spring having a liner spring property, and a spring urging member for urging the coil spring into the coil spring case. A distance between the right and left side plates of the spring case is set a little larger than an outer diameter of the coil spring. A distance between the back and front side pates of the spring case is set about 1.5 to 2 times larger than the outer diameter of the coil spring, and a length of the spring case is set smaller than a free length of the coil spring. The coil spring is deformed and a non-linear spring property is obtained when the coil spring is urged through the spring urging member.

摘要:
In performing control to supply power to a heater by detecting the impedance of a sensor element and feeding it back for control, a heater control device for an air-fuel ratio according to the invention can prevent damage to the heater or the sensor element by suppressing an excessive rise in the temperature of the heater and hence the sensor element even when the impedance of the sensor element has increased due to degradation of the sensor element. The heater control device includes: a feedback control unit which, based on the impedance of the air-fuel ratio sensor element, controls supply power to the heater for heating the air-fuel ratio sensor; a half-activation time detection unit which detects the half-activation time of the air-fuel ratio sensor; and a power limiting unit which, based on the half-activation time detected by the half-activation time detection unit, limits the power that is feedback-controlled by the feedback control unit.
