A system for discriminating degradation of an exhaust purification system of an internal combustion engine having an adsorbent installed at a bypass exhaust gas passage branched from an exhaust pipe of the engine, which is opened by a switch-over valve at starting of the engine to introduce the exhaust gas such that the adsorbent adsorbs unburned HC in exhaust gas generated by the engine and is closed such that the adsorbent desorbs the adsorbed HC and the desorbed HC is thereafter recirculated at a position upstream of a catalyst. In the system, an inflow amount and outflow amount of HC flowing in and out of the adsorbent are determined based at least on the engine operating conditions and the detected concentration of HC. Then, the ratio therebetween is calculated and compared with a threshold value and if the ratio is less than the threshold value, the adsorbent is discriminated to be degraded, thereby enabling to improve the discrimination accurately.

In the first embodiment, the calculation is carried out, without using a torque sensor, by applying an adjustment for torque consumption by a device such as an air conditioner and a torque loss caused by braking. In the second and third embodiments, the driving resistance is calculated using a torque sensor. Thus, with the arrangement, the driving resistance can be accurately determined applying appropriate adjustment, a gear ratio to be shifted is properly determined in any traveling condition including hill climbing.

The temperature of an exhaust gas flowing through an exhaust passage 3 is estimated or detected, and the temperature of an active element of an exhaust gas sensor 8. (O2 sensor) is controlled at a predetermined target temperature by a heater using the estimated or detected temperature of the exhaust gas. For estimating the temperature of the exhaust gas in the vicinity of the exhaust gas sensor 8, the exhaust passage 3 extending up to the exhaust gas sensor 8 is divided into a plurality of partial exhaust passageways 3a through 3d, the temperatures of the exhaust gas in the partial exhaust passageways 3a through 3d are estimated successively from an exhaust port 2 of an engine 1. The temperature of the exhaust gas is estimated according to an algorithm which takes into account a heat transfer between the exhaust gas and passage-defining members 6a, 6b, 7 which define the exhaust passage 3 and a heat radiation from the passage-defining members into the atmosphere. A control input that is applied to the heater includes at least a component depending on the temperature of the active element of the exhaust gas sensor 8 and a component depending on the temperature of the exhaust gas. Even if the temperature of the exhaust gas changes, the temperature of the active element of the exhaust gas sensor 8 can be controlled stably at the desired temperature.

An apparatus for controlling temperature of an exhaust gas sensor can include a temperature estimating device for sequentially estimating the temperature of an active element based on a predetermined element temperature model, which is representative of a temperature change of the active element due to heat transfer between the active element and an exhaust gas held in contact with the active element. A heater control device can control a heater to equalize the temperature of the active element with a predetermined target temperature using an estimated value of the temperature of the active element from the temperature estimating device.

A control system for a plant is provided. This control system can control the plant more stably, when the model parameters of the controlled object model which are obtained by modeling the plant, which is a controlled object, are identified and the sliding mode control is performed using the identified model parameters. The model parameter identifier (22) calculates a model parameter vector (θ) by adding an updating vector (dθ) to a reference vector (θbase) of the model parameter. The updating vector (dθ) is corrected by multiplying a past value of at least one element of the updating vector by a predetermined value which is greater than “0” and less than “1”. The model parameter vector (θ) is calculated by adding the corrected updating vector (dθ) to the reference vector (θbase).

A vehicle controller for controlling the air-fuel ratio of an engine is provided. In one embodiment, the controller comprises a first exhaust gas sensor provided downstream of the catalyst for detecting oxygen concentration of exhaust gas, a first decimation filter connected to the first exhaust gas sensor, and a control unit connected to the first decimation filter. The control unit determines a manipulated variable for manipulating the air-fuel ratio. The first decimation filter oversamples, low-pass filters and then downsamples the output of the first exhaust gas sensor. The first decimation filter can remove chemical noise from the output of the exhaust gas sensor. In another embodiment, a second decimation filter is connected to a second exhaust gas sensor provided upstream of the catalyst for detecting the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas. The second decimation filter oversamples, low-pass filters and then downsamples the output of the second exhaust gas sensor. The second decimation filter can compensate the shortage of resolution of the air-fuel ratio sensor.
摘要:
A control system for a plant is disclosed. According to this system, a model parameter vector of a controlled object model which is obtained by modeling the plant, is identified. A controller controls the plant using the identified model parameter vector. An identifying error of the model parameter vector is calculated, and an updating vector is calculated according to the identifying error. The updating vector has at least one first element which is relevant to an input or an output of the plant, and a second element which is irrelevant to the input and the output of the plant. The updating vector is corrected by multiplying a past value of at least one first element of the updating vector by a predetermined value which is greater than “0” and less than “1”, and multiplying a past value of the second element of the updating vector by “1”. The model parameter vector is calculated by adding the corrected updating vector to a reference vector of the model parameter vector.
