    摘要: The signal levels of vibration waveform signals outputted by knock sensors are extracted at a filter processing section for each of a plurality of frequency bands. The mean value of the signal levels in the frequency bands at a point in time when variation of the signal levels in the frequency bands is minimum computed, and the mean value is detected as a background level. A knock characteristic parameter, which represents the characteristics of knock, is computed based on the extracted signal levels in the frequency bands. The knock characteristic parameter is compared with the background level to obtain a knock intensity. If the knock intensity is equal to or greater than a knock determination value, it is determined that knock that exceeds a permissible level is occurring. If the knock intensity is less than the knock determination value, it is determined that knock that exceeds the permissible level is not occurring. This configuration permits the background level of the output of the knock sensors to be accurately detected without being influenced by knock or noise.

    摘要: In determining a knock of an engine, a vibration intensity is calculated by logarithm-transforming a peak value or an integral value of an output signal of a knock sensor. Further, a central value VMED of a vibration intensity distribution is calculated, and also a standard deviation σ in a region where the vibration intensity is smaller than this central value VMED is calculated. A vibration intensity reference value VIB is calculated as VMED−u×σ, thereby setting the vibration intensity reference value VIB to be close to a minimum of the vibration intensity distribution. Further, a knock reference value KCK is set by adding a predetermined value K to the vibration intensity reference value VIB. The vibration intensity detected by the knock sensor is compared with the knock reference value KCK to determine presence/absence of a knocking.

    摘要: A knock determining apparatus includes a sensor which outputs a waveform signal corresponding to a knock state, and at least one of a first to a third knock determiner which determines a knock state based on a vibration intensity distribution of the waveform signal. A knock detector compares the vibration intensity of the waveform signal with a threshold, and detects a knock when the vibration intensity exceeds the threshold. This threshold is corrected based on a knock determining result by the first to the third knock determiner.

    摘要: For each predetermined crank angular interval, an output of a knock sensor is separated into a plurality of frequency components through a plurality of band-pass filters, and peak values of each frequency component are extracted. Then, a mean and a variance of the peak values are computed for each frequency component. A maximum one of the computed means is selected, and the corresponding frequency component, which is associated with the maximum mean, is selected. It is then determined whether the noise is present based on a ratio between the variance of the selected frequency component and the corresponding mean. If the noise is detected in any of the frequency components, execution of knock determination may be prohibited, or ignition timing feedback control according to a result of the knock determination may be prohibited, or ignition timing may be corrected by retarding the ignition timing.

    摘要: An ECU obtains two data values (a peak value and a waveform correlation coefficient) that show the characteristics of a knock from the output of a knock sensor. The ECO approximately obtains the mean of each data value by smoothing each data value, and approximately obtains a variance by smoothing the squared deviation between the data values before and after the smoothing process. The ECU then computes the square root of the variance to approximately obtain a standard deviation. The ECU normalizes each data value using the mean and the standard deviation, obtains a distribution of the normalized two data values, and calculates a correlation coefficient that shows the correlation between the obtained distribution and an ideal knock distribution. Based on the correlation coefficient, the ECU corrects a knock determination threshold value. Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation of the data values are computed with a small RAM capacity.
