Abstract: Methods and arrangements are described for controlling transitions between firing fractions during skip fire operation of an engine in order to help smooth the transitions. Generally, firing fractions transitions are implemented gradually, preferably in a manner that relatively closely tracks manifold filling dynamics. In some embodiments, the commanded firing fraction is altered each firing opportunity. Another approach contemplates altering the commanded firing fraction by substantially the same amount each firing opportunity for at least a portion of the transition. These approaches work particularly well when the commanded firing fraction is provided to a skip fire controller that includes an accumulator functionality that tracks the portion of a firing that has been requested, but not delivered, or vice versa. In various embodiments, commanded firing fraction changes are delayed relative to initiation of the change in throttle position to help compensate for inherent delays associated with changing the manifold air pressure.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于在发动机的跳火操作期间控制点火分数之间的转换的方法和布置，以帮助平滑过渡。 通常，逐渐实现燃烧级分过渡，优选地以相对紧密地跟踪歧管填充动力学的方式。 在一些实施例中，命令的射击分数改变每个击发机会。 另一种方法考虑到对于至少一部分转换的每个发射机会基本相同的量来改变命令的射击分数。 当命令的射击分数被提供给跳过火控制器时，这些方法工作特别好，该跳火控制器包括追踪已经被请求但没有被传送的部分射击的累加器功能，反之亦然。 在各种实施例中，指令的点火分数变化相对于开始节气门位置的改变而延迟，以帮助补偿与改变歧管空气压力相关联的固有延迟。
