A pulse train source is coupled to a movable element of the apparatus, for example to the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to provide a speed-dependent pulse train; a reference pulse source provides a reference pulse at a predetermined crankshaft position. Pulse trains having frequencies representative of other engine operating parameters, for example intake manifold vaacuum, engine temperature, and the like, may also be provided. A function storage and transform stage stores, in sequential addresses, the transfer function characteristic between change in speed, manifold inlet pressure, engine temperature, and the like, and required spark advance (or retard) for optimum combustion, in sequential addresses, with respect to speed (or inlet vacuum, temperature, etc.) ranges, and provides sequential binary numbers representative of ignition timing, at the respective speed (and inlet vacuum, temperature, etc.), which are totalized and compared in a binary comparator with the speed pulse train and, upon equality, issues a trigger signal to initiate ignition.
摘要:
A digital computer for determining the ignition angle in a piston engine using the ratio of two pulse counts with a stepdown counter preceding the counter for the denominator of the ratio to further include a multiplication factor corresponding to an additional factor in the ratio. The ratio is determined using adders and flip-flop memories coupled in parallel to both the step down counter and the denominator counter with a carry pulse connection between the step down counter adder and the denominator counter adder. A counter is provided for the numerator of the ratio and a comparator used to compare the outputs of the memories and the numerator counter with operation controlled by a control circuit and the result of the division stored in a result counter.
摘要:
A pulse generator provides a pulse train representative of angular position of the engine crankshaft, and a marker pulse, at a predetermined angular crankshaft position. A counter is connected to the train of pulses, to start counting upon occurrence of the marker pulses. A digital/analog converter converts the binary count numbers into an analog signal, which is compared with engine operation signals representative of spark advance or retardation, the comparator providing an output when the count derived from the counter and the operation parameter control signals match. The engine operation control signal may be a composite of signals commanding spark advance or spark retardation, such as speed signals, load signals or other operating parameter signals, applied to the comparator as varying voltages or currents.

An electronic ignition timing system for internal combustion engines is disclosed which utilizes electronic circuitry to vary the timing of ignition pulses in response to engine speed and vacuum to provide optimum or improved performance by the engine. Preferably the electrical circuitry utilizes digital signals for high accuracy.

An engine control system, particularly for a road vehicle, includes two transducers for producing two signals representing any two of the parameters engine speed, manifold pressure and throttle angle. These signals provide input to a matrix which gives an n-bit output determined by both input signals, where n is at least two. This output controls an engine characteristic.

Provided is an internal combustion engine control unit that controls an engine by detecting combustion characteristics with a simple configuration robust to disturbance such as noise. Therefore, the internal combustion engine control unit (ECU 12) of the present embodiment includes a rotational speed calculation unit 122a that calculates a crank rotational speed of an internal combustion engine (engine 1); an extreme value timing calculation unit 122b that calculates an extreme value timing of the crank rotational speed calculated by the rotational speed calculation unit 122a; and a combustion state estimation unit (combustion phase calculation unit 122c) that estimates a combustion state based on the extreme value timing of the crank speed calculated by the extreme value timing calculation unit 122b.
摘要:
A vehicle control method is provided for controlling a vehicle in which a clutch provided on a power transmission path between an engine and a drive wheel is disconnected when a shift range is a non-driving range and the clutch is connected when the shift range is a driving range. The vehicle control method controls the engine to a prescribed idling speed, controls engine torque to a negative torque by delaying an ignition timing of the engine; and causes the prescribed idling speed to drop within a prescribed amount of time needed for the clutch to switch from being disconnected to being connected when the shift range is switched from the non-driving range to the driving range.

A marine propulsion system for a marine vessel includes an engine effectuating rotation of an output shaft, multiple batteries configured to power a marine vessel load, and an alternator having a rotor that is driven into rotation by the output shaft and that outputs a charge current to the batteries. The marine propulsion system further includes a control system configured to operate the engine in a propulsion mode and a generator mode. Upon receiving a generator mode command to start the engine in the generator mode, the control system operates the engine in accordance with a set of generator parameters to charge the batteries while a shift system of the marine propulsion system is locked in a neutral position such that the propulsor cannot be engaged and the marine vessel remains stationary.

A first limit requesting process limits a dither control process of fuel injection valves in such a manner that the absolute value of the difference between the air-fuel ratios of the cylinders becomes smaller when the degree of variation of the injection amounts of the fuel injection valves provided for respective cylinders is great than when the degree of variation is small. A second limit requesting process limits the dither control process in such a manner that the absolute value is smaller when the torque fluctuation amount of the internal combustion engine is great than when the torque fluctuation amount is small. The limiting process limits the dither control process in accordance with one of requests generated by the first limit requesting process and the second limit requesting process that causes the absolute value to be smaller than the other.
