    摘要: A gas sensor of constant-current type is used to detect a gas component in exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine so as to perform feedback control of air/fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine. In order to detect an air/fuel ratio which is richer than a stoichiometric value, a voltage applied to the gas sensor is set to a high value so that the gas sensor does not exhibit a constant-current characteristic. In the case it is desired to detect an air/fuel ratio which is either richer or leaner than the stoichiometric value, the voltage may be changed between the high value and a lower value at which the gas sensor exhibits a constant-current characteristic. Engine parameters are detected to determine whether the engine requires a rich mixture or a lean mixture, and the voltage may be changed as the result of such determination. An output current of the gas sensor is detected to ascertain air/fuel ratio so that air/fuel ratio is controlled to a desired value suitable for engine operating condition.

    摘要: In a method and an apparatus for optimum control of an internal combustion engine, an air-fuel ratio is dithered by a dither amount from a basic air-fuel ratio and the engine is operated with the dithered air-fuel ratio. A resultant change of the output state of the engine is detected, and the direction of improving fuel consumption is decided by the change of the output state of the engine so that the basic air-fuel ratio is changed in that direction. Either the dither period during which the engine is operated with different selected air-fuel ratios or the dither amount is determined with elevated precision by a signal detected in association with the output state of the engine.

    摘要: In an optimum control for an internal combustion engine, a engine is operated by dithering the value of a selected one of engine operating control variables from a value of the selected control variable which is obtained by calculation in accordance with detected values of operating parameters of the engine, and a direction of improving either one of a fuel consumption rate and an output of the engine is decided on the basis of a detected change of an engine operating condition, thereby correcting the value of the selected control variable. In the optimum control, the time period for detecting a change of an engine speed within the time period for effecting the dithering is increased or decreased as the engine speed increases or decreases, respectively. Thus, this optimum control makes it possible to perform accurate control with a reduced dither quantity and a shorter dither period than previously.

    摘要: Spark ignition timing of an internal combustion engine is oscillated on each side of a variable reference setting by varying it at stepwisely variable amounts during positive and negative swings and the resultant engine speed is detected in at least three successive phases. The detected engine speed values are compared one against each other to determine whether they satisfy one of two specified conditions. The variable reference is adjusted in a direction toward an optimum position depending on which one of the conditions is satisfied.

    摘要: Spark ignition timing of an internal combustion engine is oscillated on each side of a variable reference setting during successive ignition phases and the resultant engine speed is detected during at least three successive phases. The detected engine speed values are compared one against each other to determine whether they satisfy one of two specified conditions. The variable reference is adjusted in a direction toward an optimum position depending on which one of the conditions is satisfied. At least one of controlled parameters including the magnitude of the oscillated setting with respect to the variable reference, the length of the ignition phase and the amount of the adjusted reference setting, is varied as a function of an engine operating parameter.

    摘要: Spark ignition timing of an internal combustion engine is oscillated on opposite sides of the setting of a variable reference timing and the resultant engine speed is detected in at least three successive phases of the oscillation and stored in respective memories. The contents of the memories are compared with each other to detect whether they establish one of two predetermined relationships which occur exclusively in the absence of a manual command input to the engine. The variable reference setting is adjusted by a predetermined amount in a specified direction in response to the established relationship. The process is repeated so that the reference setting approaches an optimum advance angle at which the engine output torque is at a maximum. When the reference setting is at or near the optimum point or when a manual command engine input is present, the registered engine speed values establish a relationship other than the predetermined ones and the reference setting is not adjusted.
