    摘要: A target air-fuel ratio KCMD for an exhaust gas upstream of a catalytic converter is sequentially determined to converge the output VO2/OUT of an O2 sensor downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value VO2/TARGET, and the amount of fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine is controlled to converge the output KACT of an air-fuel ratio sensor to the target air-fuel ratio KCMD. While the amount of fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine is being thus controlled, the value of a deterioration linear function &sgr; whose variable components are represented by time-series data of the output VO2/OUT of the O2 sensor is determined. A central value of the square &sgr;2 of the value of the deterioration linear function &sgr; is determined as a deterioration evaluating parameter. A deteriorated state of the catalytic converter is evaluated on the basis of the value of the deterioration evaluating parameter.

    摘要: An adsorbent state determining apparatus is provided for accurately determining the state of an adsorbent including a deterioration as well as for allowing for recovery of the adsorbent if its adsorbent performance can be restored. The adsorbent state determining apparatus determines the state of an adsorbent for adsorbing hydrocarbons contained in exhaust gases. An upstream and a downstream temperature sensor are provided at upstream and downstream locations of the adsorbent in an exhaust system for detecting temperatures of exhaust gases upstream and downstream of the adsorbent. An engine water temperature sensor detects an operating state of the engine. An ECU estimates the temperature of the exhaust gas which should be detected downstream of the adsorbent during adsorption of the adsorbent based on the upstream temperature detected by the upstream temperature sensor and an engine water temperature of the engine detected by the engine water temperature sensor. The ECU then compares the estimated downstream temperature with the detected downstream temperature detected by the downstream temperature sensor during adsorption of the adsorbent to determine the adsorption state of the adsorbent.

    摘要: A control system for an internal combustion engine having a catalyst arranged in the exhaust system is disclosed. In the control system, catalyst temperature rise accelerating control is executed by increasing the intake air amount immediately after starting of the engine and retarding the ignition timing to make the rotational speed of the engine coincide with a target rotational speed. The air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine is controlled to a lean region with respect to the stoichiometric ratio immediately after starting of the engine. The degree of making the air-fuel ratio leaner is suppressed when the retard amount of the ignition timing during the execution of the catalyst temperature rise accelerating control is less than a predetermined retard amount.

    摘要: A first exhaust gas sensor 5 (air-fuel ratio sensor) and a second exhaust gas sensor 6 (O2 sensor) are disposed respectively upstream and downstream of a catalytic converter. An exhaust system E which ranges from the exhaust gas sensor 5 to the exhaust gas sensor 6 and includes the catalytic converter 3 is regarded as an object exhaust system E, and a behavior of the object exhaust system E is modeled. When an internal combustion engine 1 is in operation, parameters to be set of the model of the object exhaust system E are sequentially identified based on the data of outputs of the exhaust gas sensors 5, 6. A deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 is determined based on the data of the identified values. Concurrent with the determination of the deteriorated state, a target air-fuel ratio for the internal combustion engine 1 is sequentially determined in order to converge the output of the exhaust gas sensor 5 to a given target value, and the air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine 1 is controlled to converge the output (the detected value of the air-fuel ratio) of the first exhaust gas sensor 5 to the target air-fuel ratio, for thereby allowing the catalytic converter 3 to achieve an optimum purifying capability. In this manner, the deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 can be determined in various operation states of the internal combustion engine 1 while keeping the purifying capability of the catalytic converter 3.

    摘要: A plant control system has a reference value setting unit for variably setting a reference value for an air-fuel ratio to be given to an exhaust system including a catalytic converter, depending on a component based on an adaptive control law of a manipulated variable of the air-fuel ratio generated by a controller according to an adaptive sliding mode control process in order to converge an output of an O2 sensor disposed downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value. The manipulated variable generated by the controller represents the difference between the air-fuel ratio and the reference value, required to converge the output of the O2 sensor to the target value.

    摘要: While the amount of intake air introduced into an internal combustion engine is being increased by an intake air quantity control unit, an ignition timing control unit manipulates the ignition timing of the internal combustion engine to converge the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine to a target rotational speed according to a feedback control process (PI control process). The ignition timing control unit has a function to vary the feedback gain of the feedback control process depending on the ignition timing, such that the feedback gain is smaller as the ignition timing being manipulated is more retarded.
