摘要:
A method for operating an engine of a vehicle, the engine having a cylinder with at least a first and second valve, the method comprising during a first mode, operating with the first valve active and the second valve deactivated during a cycle of the cylinder, where during said first mode, the cylinder operates to allow at least air to enter the cylinder during an intake stroke, where the air is mixed with fuel and compressed to attain auto-ignition; and during a second mode, operating with the first and second valves active during a cycle of the cylinder, where during said second mode, cylinder operates to allow at least air to enter the cylinder, where the air is mixed with fuel and ignited via a spark from an ignition plug.
摘要:
A method controlling combustion modes of an engine with at least a first and second cylinder, the engine having a first actuator configured to control at least intake valves of the first and second cylinder and a second actuator configured to control at least exhaust valves of the first and second cylinders, the method comprising of sending a first signal to the first actuator which adjusts operation of at least intake valves of the first and second cylinder and a second signal to the second actuator which adjusts operation of at least exhaust valves of the first and second cylinder, said first and second signals sent at different crank angles, and transitioning combustion modes of said first and second cylinders, said combustion modes including spark ignition and homogeneous compression ignition.
摘要:
An engine system for a vehicle, comprising at least one cylinder configured to vary operation between a spark ignition mode and a homogeneous charge compression ignition mode; a navigation system configured to receive navigation information and/or one or more human/machine interface (HMI) sensors; a control system for varying operation of the engine between the spark ignition mode and the homogeneous charge compression ignition mode responsive at least to one of the navigation information and HMI sensor information, where the information is used by the control system to affect transitions into the homogeneous charge compression ignition mode differently than transitions out of homogeneous charge compression ignition mode is provided.
摘要:
A method for controlling an engine and a supplemental torque apparatus of a vehicle, the vehicle having a transmission coupled to the engine, the method comprising of operating at least one cylinder with at least partial auto-ignition combustion, and during a transient gear change where the engine temporarily encounters a low load and low speed operating condition, increasing loading on the engine via the supplemental torque apparatus so that the at least one cylinder may remain operating with at least partial auto-ignition combustion.
摘要:
A method of transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition in a combustion chamber of an engine that is configured for homogeneous charge compression ignition under at least some engine operating conditions and for spark ignition under at least some engine operating conditions, the method comprising heating contents of the combustion chamber with a glow plug prior to transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition.
摘要:
A method of maintaining homogeneous charge compression ignition when a temperature within a combustion chamber decreases below an autoignition temperature in an engine that is configured for homogeneous charge compression ignition under at least some engine operating conditions and for spark ignition under at least some engine operating conditions, the method comprising selectively heating contents of the combustion chamber with a glow plug.
摘要:
A method of transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition in a combustion chamber of an engine that is configured for homogeneous charge compression ignition under at least some engine operating conditions and for spark ignition under at least some engine operating conditions, the method comprising heating contents of the combustion chamber with a glow plug prior to transitioning between homogeneous charge compression ignition and spark ignition.

摘要:
A method of controlling cylinder valve switching between a first valve condition and a second valve condition for transitioning between combustion modes of an engine comprises adjusting timing of a signal to switch between said valve conditions in response to information from a combustion sensor, wherein said combustion modes include spark ignition and homogeneous compression ignition.
摘要:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for detecting whether belt slip is occurring between an electric machine and a machine drivingly connected together by a drive belt using only measurements of rotor speed, voltage and current derived from the electric machine, thereby improving the sensitivity of slip detection and eliminating the need for a comparison of rotor speed with a measurement of the rotational speed of the machine.
