摘要:
A system for estimating air/fuel ratios in the individual cylinders of a multicylinder internal combustion engine from the output of a single air/fuel ratio sensor installed at the exhaust system of the engine. A mathematical model is first designed to describe the behavior of the exhaust system which accepts the output of the air/fuel ratio sensor. An observer is designed to observe the internal state of the mathematical model and calculates the output which estimates the air/fuel ratios in the individual cylinders of the engine. In this configuration, when engine speed becomes high, the observer matrix calculation is discontinued, because it is difficult to ensure a time enough for calculation. Similarly, at a low engine load etc., the calculation is discontinued. Apart from the above, when a desired air/fuel ratio changes frequently such as when air/fuel ratio perturbation control is conducted, the desired air/fuel ratio is input to the observer as a second input. This will similarly be applied in a situation where the desired air/fuel ratio changes abruptly.
摘要:
A system for detecting air-fuel ratio of an internal combustion engine by sampling outputs of an air-fuel ratio sensor installed at an exhaust system confluence point of said engine. A timing map is prepared to be retrieved by the engine speed and manifold absolute pressure to determine one among sampled data which are successively stored in buffers. It is selected such that as the engine speed decreases or the manifold absolute pressure increases, a datum sampled at earlier crank angular position is selected. At an engine equipped with a variable valve timing mechanism, a datum sampled at earlier crank angular position is selected in the valve timing is controlled for high engine speed provided that the engine speed and manifold absolute pressure is constant. The sampled data stored in the buffers may be transferred to another buffers at a predetermined crank angular position. The sampled data is corrected by an environmental conditions including atmospheric pressure, a mixture or sensor degradation. Each buffer may have a plurality of sampled data.

A system for controlling fuel metering for an internal combustion engine provided with a first feedback loop that calculates a first feedback correction coefficient using an adaptive control law to correct a quantity of fuel injection such that a detected air/fuel ratio is brought to a desired air/fuel ratio, a second feedback loop that calculates a second coefficient using a PID control law to similarly correct the quantity of fuel injection, and a third feedback loop that calculates a third coefficient using a PID controller to correct the quantity of fuel injection such that air/fuel ratio variance among the cylinders decreases. Either of the first or second coefficient is selected and based on the selected coefficient, the feedback gains of the third feedback loop are determined.
摘要:
A system for controlling fuel metering in an internal combustion engine using a fluid dynamic model and the quantity of throttle-past air is determined therefrom. Based on the observation that the difference between the steady-state engine operating condition and the transient engine operating condition can be described as the difference in the effective throttle opening areas, the quantity of fuel injection is determined from the product of the ratio between the area and its first-order lag value and the quantity of fuel injection under the steady-state engine operating condition obtained by mapped data retrieval, and by subtracting the quantity of correction corresponding to the quantity of chamber-filling air. The effective throttle opening area's first order lag is calculated using a weight that varies with the engine speed, so that elongation or shortening of the TDC interval due to the decrease/increase of the engine speed will not affect the determination of the quantity of fuel injection.

A system for controlling fuel metering in an internal combustion engine using a fluid dynamic model and the cylinder air flow past the throttle is determined therefrom. Based on the observation that the difference between a steady-state engine operating condition and a transient engine operating condition can be described as the difference in the effective throttle opening areas, the amount of fuel injection is determined from the product of the ratio between the areas and a basic fuel injection amount under the steady-state engine operating condition obtained by mapped data retrieval and by subtracting a correction amount corresponding to an air flow filling a chamber between the throttle and the cylinder from the product. Under steady-state engine operation, the correction amount becomes zero. In an embodiment, the first-order lag of a detected throttle opening is calculated and based on the value, various parameters including a pseudo manifold pressure are obtained so as to solve sensors' detection timing lag or a pressure sensor's detection lag.

A system for controlling fuel metering in an internal combustion engine using a fluid dynamic model with the quantity of throttle-past air being determined therefrom. Based on the observation that the difference between the steady-state engine operating condition and the transient engine operating condition can be described as the difference in the effective throttle opening areas, the quantity of fuel injection is determined from the product of the ratio between the area and its first-order lag value and the quantity of fuel injection under the steady-state engine operating condition obtained by mapped data retrieval and by subtracting the quantity of correction corresponding to the quantity of chamber-filling air. A pseudo-manifold pressure is estimated and is used for calculating the effective throttle opening area and its first lag value. The pseudo-manifold pressure is corrected by atmospheric pressure, engine coolant water temperature, etc., so as to enhance estimation accuracy.
摘要:
A system for controlling an air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to each cylinder of a multicylinder internal combustion engine. A first feedback loop is provided for converging a first air-fuel ratio at a location at least either at or downstream of a confluence point of an exhaust system to a first desired air-fuel ratio by multiplying a first feedback gain to a first error therebetween. And a second feedback loop is provided in the first loop for converging a second current air-fuel ratio at each cylinder to a second desired air-fuel ratio by multiplying a second feedback gain to a second error. The first feedback loop and said second feedback loop are connected in series such that the second loop located inside the first loop. With the arrangement. the second loop operates the second air-fuel ratio converges to converge the second air-fuel ratio to the first air-fuel ratio which in turn tends to converge on the first desired air-fuel ratio such that the air-fuel ratios of all cylinders can therefore be converged on the desired air-fuel ratio.
摘要:
A method for detecting and controlling the air-fuel ratio of a multicylinder internal combustion engine through an output of a single air-fuel ratio sensor installed at a confluence point of the exhaust system of the engine. The detection response delay is assumed to be a first-order lag and a state variable model is established. Further, the air-fuel ratio at the confluence point is assumed to be a sum of the products of the past firing histories of the each cylinder of the engine and a second state variable model is established. An observer is then designed to observe the internal state of the second model and the air-fuel ratio at the individual cylinders are estimated from the output of the observer. The deadbeat control is carried out by calculating a ratio between the estimated air-fuel ratio and a target air-fuel ratio. The calculated ratio is multiplied to a correction value at a preceding control cycle earlier by a number corresponding to the number of the engine cylinders.
