摘要:
A control system for a plant, having an identifier and a controller. The identifier identifies model parameters of a controlled object model which is obtained by modeling the plant. The controller calculates a control input to the plant so that an output from the plant coincides with a control target value, using the identified model parameters. The controller calculates a self-tuning control input, using the model parameters identified by the identifier. The controller further calculates a damping control input according to the rate of change in the output from the plant or the rate of change in a deviation between the output from the plant and the control target value. The controller calculates the control input to the plant as a sum of the self-tuning control input and the damping control input.

An apparatus controls the temperature of an exhaust gas sensor disposed in an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine. An exhaust gas temperature estimating unit sequentially estimates the temperature of exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust passage, using at least a parameter representative of an operating state of the internal combustion engine. A heater control unit controls a heater for heating an active element of the exhaust gas sensor to a predetermined target temperature, using an estimated value of the exhaust gas from the exhaust gas temperature estimating unit.

An adsorbent state determining apparatus is provided for accurately determining the state of an adsorbent including a deterioration as well as for allowing for recovery of the adsorbent if its adsorbent performance can be restored. The adsorbent state determining apparatus determines the state of an adsorbent for adsorbing hydrocarbons contained in exhaust gases. An upstream and a downstream temperature sensor are provided at upstream and downstream locations of the adsorbent in an exhaust system for detecting temperatures of exhaust gases upstream and downstream of the adsorbent. An engine water temperature sensor detects an operating state of the engine. An ECU estimates the temperature of the exhaust gas which should be detected downstream of the adsorbent during adsorption of the adsorbent based on the upstream temperature detected by the upstream temperature sensor and an engine water temperature of the engine detected by the engine water temperature sensor. The ECU then compares the estimated downstream temperature with the detected downstream temperature detected by the downstream temperature sensor during adsorption of the adsorbent to determine the adsorption state of the adsorbent.
摘要:
A control system for an internal combustion engine having a catalyst arranged in the exhaust system is disclosed. In the control system, catalyst temperature rise accelerating control is executed by increasing the intake air amount immediately after starting of the engine and retarding the ignition timing to make the rotational speed of the engine coincide with a target rotational speed. The air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is controlled to a lean region with respect to the stoichiometric ratio immediately after starting of the engine. The degree of making the air-fuel ratio leaner is suppressed when the retard amount of the ignition timing during the execution of the catalyst temperature rise accelerating control is less than a predetermined retard amount.
摘要:
A first exhaust gas sensor 5 (air-fuel ratio sensor) and a second exhaust gas sensor 6 (O2 sensor) are disposed respectively upstream and downstream of a catalytic converter. An exhaust system E which ranges from the exhaust gas sensor 5 to the exhaust gas sensor 6 and includes the catalytic converter 3 is regarded as an object exhaust system E, and a behavior of the object exhaust system E is modeled. When an internal combustion engine 1 is in operation, parameters to be set of the model of the object exhaust system E are sequentially identified based on the data of outputs of the exhaust gas sensors 5, 6. A deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 is determined based on the data of the identified values. Concurrent with the determination of the deteriorated state, a target air-fuel ratio for the internal combustion engine 1 is sequentially determined in order to converge the output of the exhaust gas sensor 5 to a given target value, and the air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine 1 is controlled to converge the output (the detected value of the air-fuel ratio) of the first exhaust gas sensor 5 to the target air-fuel ratio, for thereby allowing the catalytic converter 3 to achieve an optimum purifying capability. In this manner, the deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 can be determined in various operation states of the internal combustion engine 1 while keeping the purifying capability of the catalytic converter 3.
摘要:
The values of parameters of a model of an object exhaust system including a catalytic converter are identified from the data of outputs from an air-fuel ratio sensor and an O2 sensor which are disposed respectively upstream and downstream of the catalytic converter while an internal combustion engine associated with the catalytic converter is in operation. A deterioration evaluating parameter representing the degree of variation of time-series data of the identified parameters is determined from the time-series data of the identified parameters. The deteriorated state of the catalytic converter is evaluated based on the deterioration evaluating parameter.
摘要:
An exhaust system is regarded as being equivalent to a system for generating an output of an O2 sensor or exhaust gas sensor from a combined air-fuel ratio that is produced by combining outputs of air-fuel ratio sensors associated with respective cylinder groups according to a filtering process of the mixed model type. With the equivalent system as an object to be controlled, an exhaust system controller determines a target value for the combined air-fuel ratio, and determines a target air-fuel ratio for the cylinder groups from the target combined air-fuel ratio. The outputs of the air-fuel ratio sensors are converted to the target combined air-fuel ratio under feedback control.
摘要:
An allowable range (adaptive allowable range) for limiting a manipulated variable generated in order to converge the difference between an output from an O2 sensor disposed downstream of a catalytic converter and a target value thereof to “0” is sequentially updated depending on how the manipulated variable deviates from the allowable range.
摘要:
A system for purifying exhaust gas generated by an internal combustion engine having a bypass exhaust gas passage branching from an exhaust pipe which is opened or closed by a switch-over valve, and an adsorbent which adsorbs unburneds component in the exhaust gas installed at the bypass exhaust passage. In the system, when the engine operation is within a high engine speed and high load region, the switch-over valve is operated to open the bypass exhaust gas passage to reduce noise due to switch-over valve chattering, etc. Similarly, the bypass exhaust gas passage is opened at that range, when the exhaust gas temperature is greater or equal to a predetermined value, to introduce high temperature exhaust gas to burn away cloggy material adhered to the adsorbent which would otherwise deteriorate or degrade the adsorbent.
摘要:
A plant control system has a reference value setting unit for variably setting a reference value for an air-fuel ratio to be given to an exhaust system including a catalytic converter, depending on a component based on an adaptive control law of a manipulated variable of the air-fuel ratio generated by a controller according to an adaptive sliding mode control process in order to converge an output of an O2 sensor disposed downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value. The manipulated variable generated by the controller represents the difference between the air-fuel ratio and the reference value, required to converge the output of the O2 sensor to the target value.
