摘要:
A control system for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine comprises a split engine control unit for operating the engine on partial cylinders when reduced engine power can adequately operate the vehicle, and first and second upstream exhaust conduits for directing exhaust gases from first and second group cylinders respectively to a common junction to which a common downstream exhaust conduit is connected for emitting the gases to the atmosphere. A first catalytic converter is disposed in the second exhaust conduit to be exposed to the stream of gases exhausted from the second group cylinders which are activated at all times and a second catalytic converter is disposed in the common downstream conduit to be exposed to the stream of gases exhausted from the first group cylinders directed through the first conduit and to the gases passed through the first catalytic converter. An exhaust gas sensor is provided in the common exhaust conduit upstream of the downstream converter. A feedback control circuit is responsive to signals from the gas sensor to effect closed loop mixture control in which the air-fuel mixture supplied to all the cylinders during the full cylinder mode is controlled to the stoichiometric point so that both converters each promote simultaneous reduction of the NOx component and oxidation of the HC and CO components. A feedback control disabling circuit is provided which is effective during the partial cylinder mode for controlling the air-fuel ratio to the rich side of the stoichiometric point to promote reduction of the NOx component in the first converter and oxidation of the HC and CO components in the second converter.
摘要:
A split engine control system includes a load level detector for generating a first signal in response to a relatively high engine load and a second signal in response to a relatively low engine load. A certain of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine is deactivated in response to the second signal to operate the engine on partial cylinders and activated in response to the first signal to permit the engine to operate on full cylinders. A discriminating circuit is connected to the load level detector to disable the second signal when the duration of the latter is smaller than a preset time interval which corresponds to the duration of a false indication of engine load reduction which might occur in response to gear changes during full cylinder operation.

In an automatic power transmission system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine wherein the intake vacuum is not available as a true indication of engine load, a detection system for detecting the level of engine load includes an electrical actuator responsive to a signal which faithfully represents the engine load to vary the pressure of fluid in the automatic power transmission system. One embodiment of the invention includes an intake air sensor, an engine speed sensor and a division circuit responsive to the outputs from both sensors to generate a signal representing the quantity of air inducted per unit time to represent the true indication of the engine load free from the effect of exhaust gas recirculation or other factors influencing the intake vacuum.

Disclosed is a cylinder control system for a multicylinder internal combustion engine equipped with an exhaust gas purification device. This system has a valve control circuit which controls the number of fuel injection valves opened and closed, according to the load conditions of the engine. A detector is provided for determining the temperature in the exhaust gas purification device to generate a signal indicative of the temperature. A comparator compares the temperature signal with a reference value to generate, for the valve control circuit, a second signal indicative of whether the determined temperature is higher than a predetermined value. When the determined temperature is higher than the predetermined value, the second signal causes the valve control circuit to close the fuel injection valve or valves which thus far have been opened.

A fuel injection control system is disclosed for an internal combustion engine having fuel injectors. The system comprises fuel cut-off means operable for rendering some of the fuel injectors inoperative only when the engine speed exceeds a first predetermined value during engine deceleration and for rendering the remaining fuel injectors inoperative only when the engine speed exceeds a second predetermined value higher than the first predetermined value during engine deceleration. Control means is provided for increasing the second predetermined value when rapid engine deceleration occurs.
