A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine including a feedback loop having an adaptive controller and an adaptation mechanism that estimates controller parameters .theta.. The adaptive controller corrects the quantity of fuel injection to bring a controlled variable obtained at least based on an output of said air/fuel ratio sensor, to a desired value. The adaptation mechanism is input with the controlled variable once per prescribed crank angle such as a TDC of a certain cylinder and estimates the controller parameters.

An air-fuel control system for use with an internal combustion engine has a catalytic converter disposed in an exhaust system of the engine, for purifying an exhaust gas emitted from the engine, a first exhaust gas sensor in the exhaust system for detecting an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas upstream of the catalytic converter, a second exhaust gas sensor in the exhaust system for detecting the concentration of a component of the exhaust gas which has passed through the catalytic converter, downstream of the catalytic converter, and a correction quantity calculator for determining a correction quantity to correct an air-fuel ratio of the engine based on an output from the second exhaust gas sensor so as to equalize the concentration of the component of the exhaust gas downstream of the catalytic converter to a predetermined appropriate value. The air-fuel ratio of the engine is controlled based on the determined correction quantity and an output from the first exhaust gas sensor so as to converge the concentration of the component toward the predetermined appropriate value. A state predictor estimates the concentration of the component, detected by the second exhaust gas sensor, after a dead time present in an exhaust system including the catalytic converter between the first and second exhaust gas sensors, based on outputs up to present from the first and second exhaust gas sensors. The correction quantity calculator determines the air-fuel ratio of the engine so as to equalize the concentration of the component to the predetermined appropriate value, based on the estimated concentration of the component.

The system includes an air/fuel ratio sensor and engine operating condition detecting means for detecting engine operating conditions at least including engine speed and engine load. The basic quantity of fuel injection is determined by retrieving mapped data according to the engine speed and engine load. An adaptive controller is provided to calculate a first feedback correction coefficient to correct the quantity of basic fuel injection such that the detected air/fuel ratio is brought to a desired value, and second feedback loop is provided for calculating feedback correction coefficients to correct the quantity of fuel injection. The desired air/fuel ratio is corrected by a second air/fuel ratio installed downstream of a catalytic converter.

There is provided an air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine installed on an automotive vehicle. The control system controls the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine to a value leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio immediately after the start of the engine. Operating conditions of the engine and/or operating conditions of the automotive vehicle is detected. Starting of the vehicle is predicted based on the detected operating conditions of the engine and/or the detected operating conditions of the automotive vehicle. The air-fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine is changed to a richer value than the leaner value when the starting of the vehicle is predicted.

摘要:
An air-fuel ratio estimator for estimating air-fuel ratio of an air and fuel mixture supplied to an internal combustion engine from an output of an air-fuel ratio sensor. In the estimator, detection response lag time of said air-fuel ratio sensor is approximated as a first-order lag time system to produce state equation from said first-order lag time system. The state equation is discretized for a period delta T to obtain a discretized state equation. A transfer function is calculated from the discretized state equation and is then an inverse transfer function is calculated from said transfer function. And correction coefficient of said inverse transfer function is determined and multiplying with inverse transfer function to the sensor output estimate an air-fuel ratio of an air and fuel mixture supplied to the engine. The correction coefficient is predetermined with respect to engine speed and is made zero at or below a predetermined engine speed.
摘要:
A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine, having a feedback loop. In the system, the quantity of fuel injection (Tim) to be supplied to the engine (plant) is determined outside of the feedback loop. A first feedback correction coefficient (KSTR) is calculated using an adaptive law, while a second feedback correction coefficient (KLAF(KSTRL)), whose control response is inferior to the first feedback correction coefficient is calculated using a PID control law. The feedback correction coefficients are calculated such that the plant output (air/fuel ratio) is brought to a desired value (desired air/fuel ratio). The engine is equipped with a variable valve timing mechanism which switches the valve timing between characteristics for low engine speed and those for high engine speed. If the characteristic for high engine speed is selected, the second feedback correction coefficient is used for fuel injection quantity correction.
摘要:
A system for controlling fuel metering in an internal combustion engine using a fluid dynamic model and the cylinder air flow past the throttle is determined therefrom. Based on the observation that the difference between a steady-state engine operating condition and a transient engine operating condition can be described as the difference in the effective throttle opening areas, the amount of fuel injection is determined from the product of the ratio between the areas and a basic fuel injection amount under the steady-state engine operating condition obtained by mapped data retrieval and by subtracting a correction amount corresponding to an air flow filling a chamber between the throttle and the cylinder from the product. Under steady-state engine operation, the correction amount becomes zero. In an embodiment, the first-order lag of a detected throttle opening is calculated and based on the value, various parameters including a pseudo manifold pressure are obtained so as to solve sensors' detection timing lag or a pressure sensor's detection lag.
摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control system for an internal combustion engine controls the air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine to a desired air-fuel ratio in response to an output from an exhaust gas ingredient concentration sensor. A first value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated based on the rotational speed of the engine and the load on the engine. A second value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated based results of determination on whether a vehicle on which the engine is installed has just started from a standing position thereof. A third value of the desired air-fuel ratio is calculated based on results of determination on whether the temperature of the engine is lower than a predetermined value. The largest value of at least the first to third values of the desired air-fuel ratio is set to a final value of the desired air-fuel ratio.
