    摘要： A standard cam phasing OCV may be employed as a virtual check valve to choke the backflow of oil during negative cam torque conditions, including execution of a duty cycle command in an event-based manner. Normally, OCV duty cycle commands are made on a time basis, but for VCV the duty cycle output change must be synchronized with engine events. A method is disclosed for calculating and delivering the VCV duty cycle so that both time-based and event-based controls are maintained and work together. Phase alignment of response time of the OCV solenoid is based upon cam target wheel edges and is event-based. An initial phase rate vs. phase angle is monitored by the Engine Control Module (ECM). Adjustment of the phase angle is provided to achieve maximum cam position phase rate.

    摘要： An improved method of estimating the oil temperature of an internal combustion engine models the net heat flow through the oil during operation of the engine based on known engine operating parameters and integrates the net heat flow to update the oil temperature estimate. The net heat flow components include heat added to the oil due to fuel combustion and heat rejected from the oil to the engine coolant and atmospheric air, and are based on heat transfer coefficients that are adjusted to take into account variations in engine speed, vehicle speed and cooling fan operation.

    摘要： An improved method of estimating the oil pressure of an internal combustion engine utilizes a physical model that takes into account both engine speed and engine oil temperature. The oil pressure is estimated as the sum of static and dynamic components, where the dynamic component includes a first portion that primarily models flow-related effects, and a second portion that primarily models temperature-related effects. The constants and temperature-related variables of the physical model are combined to form one constant calibration value, and two temperature-dependent calibration values. The parameters of the physical model provide a starting point for the calibration values, and the calibration values are then tuned during a calibration procedure so that the estimated oil pressure tracks an accurate measure of the oil pressure during both steady-state and transient engine operating conditions.

    摘要： A method is provided for sensing the position of a camshaft in an internal combustion engine having a camshaft phaser for controllably varying the phase relationship between a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine and the camshaft, the camshaft phaser being actuated by an electric motor and having a gear reduction mechanism with a predetermined gear reduction ratio and rotational position means for determining the rotational position of the electric motor. The method includes generating a rotational position signal indicative of the rotational position of the electric motor by using the rotational position means to determine the rotational position of the electric motor and calculating the position of the camshaft based on the rotational position signal and the gear reduction ratio of the gear reduction mechanism.

    摘要： An internal combustion engine having valve deactivation capability for at least one cylinder, or for an entire bank of cylinders in a multiple-bank engine, is provided with a temperature probe in the exhaust stream of that cylinder or cylinder bank. The temperature probe is connected to an Engine Control Module programmed to determine the rate of temperature change during valve deactivation, to compare the determined value to an acceptable range of rates, and to signal, when the rate exceeds an acceptable range. When the valves of a cylinder are properly deactivated, the temperature in the exhaust pipe decreases slowly. However, when valve deactivation fails, the cylinders pump non-combusted air from the intake manifold into the exhaust manifold, resulting in a relatively rapid decrease in exhaust temperature. This abnormal rate of temperature decrease thus can be used as an indicator of failure of the VVA system.

    摘要： A cam phase control method for an internal combustion engine schedules cam phase to optimize emissions and fuel economy, but bounds the scheduled cam phase for continuous achievement of the desired inlet airflow. The volumetric efficiency required to achieve the desired inlet airflow at a specified intake manifold vacuum is compared to the maximum achievable volumetric efficiency at the specified vacuum. When the required volumetric efficiency is less than the maximum value, the cam phase is controlled according to the lesser of the scheduled cam phase and the highest cam phase for achieving the required volumetric efficiency; when the required volumetric efficiency is equal to or greater than the maximum value, the cam phase is controlled to a setting that maximizes the volumetric efficiency.

    摘要： A method of estimating the concentration of residual exhaust gas in an internal combustion engine having variable cam phase control is based on engine dynamometer and engine simulator data. Since both the volumetric efficiency and the residual exhaust gas concentration of an engine vary monotonically in response to changes in cam phase, the simulated residual concentration data is deemed to be reliable if the simulated volumetric efficiency data matches volumetric efficiency data determined by engine dynamometer testing. Volumetric efficiency test data is compared to simulated volumetric efficiency data, and the simulation software is tuned until the simulated data matches the test data. At such point, the simulated residual concentration data is deemed to be reliable, and is used to calibrate a model relating residual concentration to cam phase angle, and such model is then used by an engine controller to estimate residual exhaust gas concentration during operation of the engine.

    摘要： A method for determining an estimate of a response characteristic that depends on a number of input factors includes developing a mathematical model of the response as a function of the input factors based on a statistical fit of a plurality of measured data points. The method also includes mapping the value of the response characteristic and the input factors at a plurality of conditions. The method combines the mapped data with the mathematical model to produce an estimate of the response characteristic that is more accurate over a range of conditions than either the mapped data or the model taken individually.
