    摘要: A method of detecting low compression pressure by interpreting acceleration of an engine crankshaft (201) is detailed. In a preferred embodiment, the method teaches measurement of intake manifold pressure. Then, a first engine crankshaft acceleration is measured, preferably proximate a maximum rate of compression, for a cylinder (113), and a first variable (307) indicative of the first engine crankshaft acceleration is provided. Then, a second engine crankshaft acceleration is measured, preferably proximate the cylinder's top-dead-center position (105), and a second variable (311) indicative of the second engine crankshaft acceleration is provided. Then, the method combines (313) the intake manifold pressure, the first variable, and the second variable and provides a compression pressure variable as a function of the combined variables. Other embodiments include subsets of the above variables to provide a compression pressure variable as a function of the combined variables. In all of the embodiments, a low compression pressure may be indicated (317) when the compression pressure variable does not exceed a predetermined limit for the associated cylinder. An apparatus is also detailed in support of the preferred method.

    摘要: An apparatus, and a corresponding method, for determining misfire in a reciprocating engine operates on a selectable quantity of discrete sampled acceleration signals that are indicative of acceleration behavior of the reciprocating engine. A decimation device selects a quantity of the discrete sampled acceleration signals dependent on an engine family, and optionally engine operating conditions such as speed and load. An accelearation signal is selected from the sampled acceleration signals, preferably the sample having the most negative magnitude. A misfire determination device provides a misfire indication dependent on the selected acceleration signal.

    摘要: A system for detecting the presence of a knock condition by interpreting a broadband spectra signal as measured from an internal combustion engine is described. The system includes a spectra measurement device, preferably an accelerometer (101) mounted to an engine for providing a broadband spectra signal (103) to a knock detector (105). Preferably the knock detector (105) is based on a digital signal processor. The signal (103) is provided simultaneously to knock discrimination elements (405, 409, and 413), that provide a knock spectra signal (415) representative of the average energy within a predetermined knock spectra, and noise discrimination elements (417, 421, and 425), that provide a noise spectra signal (427) representative of average energy within a predetermined noise spectra. The knock spectra signal (415) is combined with the noise spectra signal (427) to provide a knock signal (431) when an engine knocking condition is detected.

    摘要: A spectral method, and corresponding system, for knock detection includes acquiring (603) spectral energy associated with vibration caused by a knocking condition from a running engine. Preferably, a sampled data system (105) acquires the spectral energy by converting an output from an accelerometer (101) into data samples (103) in a digital form. Then from the acquired spectral energy, a knock variable is derived from magnitudes of spectral components, representing a characteristic of a combustion chamber located within the running engine. In a preferred embodiment the knock variable is derived from magnitudes of spectral components related by ratios corresponding to Bessel function coefficients. The preferred embodiment includes a Digital Signal Processor (109) applying a Fast Fourier Transform method (503) to estimate a spectral content used to determine the knock variable. Then, a knock indication is provided (509) when the knock variable exceeds a magnitude of a predetermined threshold (507). Other embodiments include provision for providing a knock indication when a knock variable (703) derived from magnitudes of individual spectral components corresponding to characteristic knock spectra associated with acquired spectral energy exceeds a magnitude of a trended time weighted version of the knock variable by a predetermined magnitude (709).
