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:
A method and apparatus for optimum control for internal combustion engines employ computing means with memory means in which the values indicative of ignition timings and air-fuel ratios of an engine are preliminarily stored in the form of maps in accordance with parameters indicative of the operating conditions of the engine. At least one cycle of ignition timing optimization processing and at least one cycle of air-fuel ratio optimization processing are performed alternately so as to control the engine at the optimum ignition timing and air-fuel ratio for minimum fuel consumption.
摘要:
A method for controlling the air-fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine in which the correction of the air-fuel ratio is carried out on the basis of the determination as to whether the base air-fuel ratio is the value in the richer or the leaner side of the air-fuel ratio corresponding to the best specific fuel consumption. A different number of operation points for detecting the signals of the parameters of the engine running state are selected for the automatic constant speed control state and for the non-automatic speed control state.

A method for controlling the air-fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine in which the correction of a base air-fuel ratio is carried out on the basis of the determination as to whether the base air-fuel ratio is on the richer or the leaner side of the air-fuel ratio corresponding to optimum specific fuel consumption, the determination being carried out by comparing four driving state indicating signals at different air-fuel ratios with each other, the correction being directed to bringing the base air-fuel ratio closer to the air-fuel ratio corresponding to the optimum specific fuel consumption.
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.

In the optimum control for an internal combustion engine wherein the engine is operated by dithering a 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 calculated value of the selected control variable, during the time period of each dithered engine operation, an engine speed is detected two or more times and used for deciding the direction of a change of the engine speed, thereby providing an improved optimum control method and apparatus for internal combustion engines capable of preventing undesired correction control of the control variable from being effected in response to a change of the engine speed caused by any factor of disturbance.
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.
