摘要:
An apparatus for controlling a lock-up clutch disposed in a drive system of an automotive vehicle which includes a lean-burn engine provided with a turbocharger. The apparatus is arranged to place the lock-up clutch in a fully engaged state and/or a slip control state while a running condition of the automotive vehicle is in a predetermined engaging area or slip control area of the lock-up clutch. The apparatus includes an engaging-area changing device operable to change the engaging area of the lock-up clutch, on the basis of a turbocharging pressure established by the turbocharger, and/or slip-control-area changing means for changing the slip control area, on the basis of the turbocharging pressure. Also disclosed is an apparatus for controlling a lean-burn engine provided with a turbocharger, which apparatus includes a device for changing a range of an air/fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture of the engine for a given turbocharging pressure, on the basis of at least one of operating state and slipping state of the lock-up clutch.

An engine control system and method wherein difference between an actual intake manifold pressure and a desired intake manifold pressure and a difference between an actual exhaust manifold pressure and a desired exhaust gas pressure are combined into a single feedback signal to control a variable geometry turbine. Simultaneously therewith, a difference between the actual intake manifold pressure and the desired intake manifold pressure is used to control throttle position.

Improved vanes of this invention are constructed for use within a variable geometry turbocharger assembly. Each vane comprises an inner airfoil surface oriented adjacent a turbine wheel, and an outer airfoil surface oriented opposite the inner airfoil surface. The inner and outer airfoil surfaces define a vane airfoil thickness. Each vane includes a leading edge positioned along a first inner and outer airfoil surface junction, a trailing edge positioned along a second inner and outer surface junction, a hole disposed within a first axial vane surface substantially parallel to an outer nozzle wall for receiving a respective post therein, and an actuation tab extending from a second axial vane surface opposite from the first vane surface. A key feature of improved vanes of this invention is that they have an airfoil thickness that is greater than 0.16 times a length of the vane as measured between the vane leading and trailing edges.

This invention provides a manual boost control valve for an automotive turbocharger. The valve communicates between the intake side and exhaust side of the turbocharger system and particularly communicates with a wastegate actuator that operates a wastegate at the exhaust side. The wastegate actuator operates the wastegate in accordance with the degree of airflow received through the valve, and the valve may be manually manipulated from within the interior of the automobile by a knob interconnected through a cable to a restriction coupling.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for controlling an engine braking system having an engine with at least one intake and exhaust valve, intake and exhaust manifolds, a turbocharger connected to the intake and exhaust manifolds, and at least one pressure regulation valve. The method may comprise the steps of measuring a value of an engine parameter; adjusting the pressure of the exhaust manifold responsive to the measured engine parameter value; actuating the at least one exhaust valve; and adjusting a pressure gradient across the turbocharger.

A method for controlling a supercharging device for an internal combustion engine includes controlling a variable (x) using different control characteristics in each of at least four sub-ranges defined by a gradient (dx/dt) of the variable to be controlled (x) and a difference (x) between the variable to be controlled (x) and a control variable (xs). An apparatus for controlling a supercharging device for an internal combustion engine includes a controller having a range of control that includes at least four sub-ranges devided in accordance with a gradient (dx/dt) of the variable to be controlled (x) and a difference (x) between the variable to be controlled (x) and a control variable (xs).
摘要:
A linkage mechanism for linking for example actuator rods to the nozzle ring of a variable geometry turbine. First and second components of the mechanism are interconnected by at least two links which are displaceable in a predetermined direction relative to the first component and connected at spaced apart locations to the second component. At least one of the links incorporates an element which is pivotal relative to the first component about a first axes and pivotal relative to the second component about a second axis, the two axis being parallel to each other, parallel to the predetermined direction, and offset relative to each other.
摘要:
An engine with a charger, in which an intake passage is provided with a throttle valve which is electronically controlled to a target opening degree and the charger on the upstream side of the throttle valve, wherein a target supercharged pressure is corrected in a direction of eliminating a delay in the intake air amount based upon a difference between the target supercharged pressure of the charger and the supercharged pressure detected on the upstream side of the throttle valve, to thereby set a target supercharged pressure of the throttle valve based on the corrected target supercharged pressure. This suppresses a delay in the intake air amount caused by a delay in the change of the supercharged pressure during the transient period, makes it possible to accomplish acceleration/deceleration performance of good response, and suppresses a torque difference that occurs when the combustion system is changed over to the stratified charge combustion or to the homogeneous combustion.

Internal combustion engine with as exhaust pressure regulator (10) arranged in an exhaust conduit (5) for regulating the exhaust counter-pressure in the engine cylinders. Upstream of the exhaust pressure regulator, the exhaust conduit communicates via valve means (17) with the intake side of an air compressor (14) to make possible pre-charging of the compressor during engine braking.
摘要:
A variable geometry turbocharger employs multiple vanes in the turbine inlet with a unison ring and integral cast wall in the turbine housing forming the nozzle walls. The unison ring incorporates actuation slots receiving tabs on the vanes for opening the closing the nozzle area upon rotation of the unison ring. An integral electrohydraulic actuator rotates the unison ring through a rack and pinion driven crank shaft with direct position feedback to the spring biased variable current solenoid via a cam on the crank shaft.
