摘要:
Disclosed is an internal combustion engine having a combustion chamber. A squish area is formed in the combustion chamber between the peripheral portion of the inner surface of the cylinder head and the peripheral portion of the top surface of the piston. The combustible mixture located within the squish area is ignited and, as the result, a combustion gas is injected into the combustion chamber from the squish area. This combustion gas causes a turbulent burning of the combustible mixture in the combustion chamber.
摘要:
An exhaust double pipe used for interconnecting an exhaust manifold with a catalytic converter of an internal combustion engine, comprising an inner pipe and an outer pipe. The outer pipe comprises a first pipe and a second pipe. The outer end of the first pipe is welded to a flange together with one end of the inner pipe. The outer end of the second pipe is welded to another flange together with the other end of the inner pipe. The inner end of the first pipe is directly fitted into the inner end of the second pipe, or is indirectly connected to the inner end of the second pipe via a spacer so as to be able to slide relative to the second pipe.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine comprising main and subsidiary combustion chambers interconnected by a connecting passage. A subsidiary chamber component providing therein the subsidiary combustion chamber is press-fitted into a recess formed in the cylinder head. The cylinder head and the component have a hole extending through their walls. A sleeve is fitted into the hole so as to prevent dislodging of the sleeve from the recess. A spark plug is inserted into the sleeve.

In a control device for a vehicle that controls a revolution speed of a drive power source or a gear ratio of a transmission coupled to an output side of the drive power source in the vehicle equipped with the drive power source and the transmission, the control device is configured to determine an index that is based on a running state of the vehicle, and to control a required revolution speed of the drive power source or a required gear ratio for the transmission on the basis of the index.
摘要:
A driving force control system for vehicle for controlling a target speed of an engine serving as a prime mover by selecting a control mode based on an index representing a driving preference of a driver. The control mode is selected from a first mode for operating the engine to achieve the target speed while optimizing a fuel economy, and a second mode for operating the engine to achieve the target speed at a speed lower than that achieved while optimizing the fuel economy. The driving force control system is configured to determine a lower limit speed of the engine based on the index provided that the second mode is selected, and to restrict a lower limit value of the target speed of the engine to the lower limit speed in case the target speed of the engine exceeds the lower limit speed under the second mode.
摘要:
A vehicle control system includes a control portion configured to determine a single parameter based on a running condition of a vehicle, and determine control amounts for a plurality of actuators provided in the vehicle based on the parameter. A relation of the control amount for each of the plurality of actuators to the parameter is predetermined. The control portion is configured to, when the parameter is determined, determine the control amounts for the respective actuators based on the parameter, and control the actuators based on the determined control amounts.

In a vehicle control system that obtains an index based on a running condition of a vehicle and changes a running characteristic of the vehicle according to the index, includes index setting means for making a change in the index in response to a change in the running condition in a direction toward crisp running of the vehicle, faster than a change in the index in response to a change in the running condition in such a direction as to reduce crispness with which the vehicle is running.
摘要:
A method (and structure) of generating a two step variable length delay, including passing an input clock signal through a plurality of serially-interconnected delay elements, each delay element having a delay time interval dtc, thereby generating a corresponding plurality delayed signals. A set of m (where m is an integer greater than 2) of the plurality of delayed signals is switably selected. The selected m delayed signals form a first to an mth coarse adjustment delay signals. An nth coarse adjustment delay signal leads an (n+1)th coarse adjustment delay signal in phase by a time interval dtc (n is an integer being 1 or more and (m−1) or less). From the first to mth coarse adjustment delay signals, 2m fine adjustment delay signals are generated, where a jth fine adjustment delay signal leads a (j+1)th fine adjustment delay signal in a phase by a time interval dtc′, where time interval dtc′ is finer than the time interval dtc. The generation is achieved by amplifying the first to mth coarse adjustment delay signals, by mixing, for each n, waveforms of the nth and the (n+1)th coarse adjustment delay signals, and mixing waveforms of the mth and the first coarse adjustment delay signals. One of the 2m fine adjustment delay signals is outputted to be a selected variable length delay output signal.
摘要:
Start catalysts (SCs) having an O2 storage function are disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine, and an NOx occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed in the exhaust gas passages downstream of the SCs. NOx in the exhaust gas is absorbed by the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst when the engine is in operation at a lean air-fuel ratio. When NOx is to be released, the engine is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio so that exhaust gas having a rich air-fuel ratio flows into the SCs and into the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst. An electronic control unit (ECU) executes the secondary fuel injection that does not contribute to the combustion in the expansion stroke or in the exhaust stroke of each cylinder by using a direct cylinder fuel injection valve at the time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is to be changed from a lean air-fuel ratio operation to a rich air-fuel ratio, so that exhaust gas having a rich air-fuel ratio flows into the SC and that oxygen stored in the SC is released. At the time of changing over the air-fuel ratio, therefore, the air-fuel ratio is changed from the lean side to the rich side without delay, eliminating such an occurrence that NOx is released from the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst without being purified at the time of changing the air-fuel ratio.
摘要:
An NOx occluding and reducing catalyst is disposed in an exhaust gas passage of an internal combustion engine that operates at a lean air-fuel ratio. When the engine is operating at a lean air-fuel ratio, the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst absorbs NOx in the exhaust gas. To release NOx, the engine is operated at a rich air-fuel ratio so that the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich air-fuel ratio. While the engine is operated in a region of moderate lean air-fuel ratios of from the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to an air-fuel ratio of about 20 at the time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changing from a lean air-fuel ratio operation to a rich air-fuel ratio operation, an electronic control unit (ECU) of the engine injects secondary fuel, that does not contribute to combustion, into the cylinders of the engine through the direct cylinder fuel injection valves in the expansion stroke or the exhaust stroke of the cylinders, so that the exhaust gas flowing into the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst acquires a rich air-fuel ratio. This prevents unpurified NOx from flowing out of the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst at the time when the engine operating air-fuel ratio is changed.
