    摘要: A waveform knock signal detected by a knock sensor is filtered through a band-pass filter. The detected wave form signal is compared with an ideal reference knock waveform to determine an engine knock. The ideal reference knock waveform is derived on the basis of a factor depending on a crank angle, a factor depending on a real time and a factor depending on an engine construction. The factor depending on the real time is calculated based on an energy loss in a combustion chamber and a time constant of the band-pass filter. The factor depending on the engine construction is calculated based on a knock vibration which is generated in a cylinder, transferred to a cylinder block and detected by the knock sensor.

    摘要: A plurality of variables representing the characteristics of a knock is obtained from an output signal of a sensor. The variables include a peak value of the knock frequency component in the output signal of the sensor and a waveform correlation coefficient representing the correlation between the waveform of the output signal and an ideal knock waveform, which is the waveform specific to a knock. The peak value and the waveform correlation coefficient are normalized, and a detection distribution is created using the obtained normalized data values. A correlation coefficient for knock determination representing the correlation between the detection distribution and an ideal knock distribution is calculated. The correlation coefficient for knock determination is compared with a predetermined knock determination threshold value, and the knock determination threshold value is corrected in accordance with the comparison result. As a result, the accuracy and the reliability of knock determination are improved.

    摘要: The signal levels of vibration waveform signals outputted by knock sensors are extracted at a filter processing section for each of a plurality of frequency bands. The mean value of the signal levels in the frequency bands at a point in time when variation of the signal levels in the frequency bands is minimum computed, and the mean value is detected as a background level. A knock characteristic parameter, which represents the characteristics of knock, is computed based on the extracted signal levels in the frequency bands. The knock characteristic parameter is compared with the background level to obtain a knock intensity. If the knock intensity is equal to or greater than a knock determination value, it is determined that knock that exceeds a permissible level is occurring. If the knock intensity is less than the knock determination value, it is determined that knock that exceeds the permissible level is not occurring. This configuration permits the background level of the output of the knock sensors to be accurately detected without being influenced by knock or noise.

    摘要: An ECU obtains two data values (a peak value and a waveform correlation coefficient) that show the characteristics of a knock from the output of a knock sensor. The ECO approximately obtains the mean of each data value by smoothing each data value, and approximately obtains a variance by smoothing the squared deviation between the data values before and after the smoothing process. The ECU then computes the square root of the variance to approximately obtain a standard deviation. The ECU normalizes each data value using the mean and the standard deviation, obtains a distribution of the normalized two data values, and calculates a correlation coefficient that shows the correlation between the obtained distribution and an ideal knock distribution. Based on the correlation coefficient, the ECU corrects a knock determination threshold value. Therefore, the mean and the standard deviation of the data values are computed with a small RAM capacity.
