An ignition timing control apparatus for an internal combustion engine detects the rotational angle and intake vacuum of the engine to control the ignition timing of the engine in accordance with the computation of computing means on the detected signals, and on the other hand the vibration of the engine is detected to detect the occurrence of knock and thereby to correct the ignition timing in response to the detection of knock. The control apparatus includes a vibration detector for detecting the vibration of the engine, and a knock control circuit for detecting the occurrence of knock when the ratio between the average value of the outputs of the vibration detector during a predetermined angle or a predetermined time interval before the maximum engine cylinder pressure value and that of the vibration detector during a predetermined angle or a predetermined time interval after the maximum engine cylinder pressure value, and the ignition timing of the engine is retarded in response to the occurrence of knock.

A spark plug includes a body of dielectric substance mounted on one of central and earth electrodes and having polarization effects. A gap for capacitive discharge is defined between the body of dielectric substance and the other of the electrodes, and a gap for inductive discharge is defined between the electrodes, which gap for inductive discharge is larger in dimension than the gap for capacitive discharge. With the arrangement, capacitive discharge to be produced in the early stage of discharge is caused at low discharge breakdown voltage due to polarization effects of the body of dielectric substance, and inductive discharge taking the main part of discharge for ignition is produced by utilizing the capacitive discharge of low voltage as trigger, thereby lowering discharge breakdown voltage to improve ignition performance of the spark plug.

Method and apparatus is provided for calculating an optimum ignition timing for an internal combustion engine on the basis of values set in dependence on operating conditions of the engine. With a view to prevent ignition times in two successive cycles from differing remarkably from each other, the ignition time or angle for the current cycle is controlled with reference to the ignition time or angle in the just preceding cycle. As one example of the control, in the case where the ignition time electronically anticipated for the current cycle appears to have deviated from the preceding ignition time by more than a predetermined value, the anticipated ignition time is modified to result in the optimum ignition time by adding to or subtracting from the anticipated ignition time a predetermined value. Alternatively, the optimum ignition time may be given by a mean value of the anticipated ignition time and a plurality of the preceding ignition times.

An ignition system for an internal combustion engine comprises knock detecting means for detecting knocking of the engine, and ignition timing control means for controlling the ignition timing of the engine in response to the presence or absence of the knocking condition. The knock detecting means detects the pressure in the cylinders of the engine to detect the occurrence of knocking by the fact that the detected pressure includes a high frequency pressure variation. The ignition timing control means is responsive to the output of the knock detecting means, whereby as long as no knocking is detected the ignition timing is controlled to provide the minimum advance for best torque (MBT) and ensure improved engine power efficiency and fuel consumption, whereas when knocking is detected the ignition timing is retarded in relation to the minimum advance for maximum torque (MBT) to prevent the engine from knocking.

An ignition timing regulating device for use in an internal combustion engine for regulating the ignition timing of the engine depending on the pressure of ambient atmosphere. Based on the fact that the pressure in the intake manifold of the engine is equal to the pressure of ambient atmosphere in the starting stage of the engine, the output of a pressure sensor sensing the intake manifold pressure in the engine is applied to an atmospheric pressure sensing circuit so as to sense the value of atmospheric pressure in the engine starting stage, and the output of this atmospheric pressure sensing circuit is used for correcting the ignition timing of the engine.

An ignition timing control system is provided with an ignition timing computing unit which determines a maximum acceleration ignition advance .alpha. ACMAX in accordance with an intake pressure difference P and a water temperature T of the engine. When an acceleration is detected by a rapid movement of an acceleration pedal, the maximum acceleration ignition advance is added to the normal ignition advance. Thereafter, the maximum acceleration ignition advance is gradually reduced to zero in accordance with the lapse of time or a change in the engine speed.

摘要:
An ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine in which an angular position of the internal combustion engine is detected, and on the basis of the signal thus obtained by detection, the ignition timing of the internal combustion engine is determined by calculation in a computing device. A knocking condition is judged by a detection signal produced from a knocking detector of the internal combustion engine, and the ignition timing is corrected by the judgement of knocking. In view of the fact that the knocking occurs only during a certain period of the driving cycle of the internal combustion engine, a knocking condition is judged by comparing a detection signal produced from the knocking detector during the time in the absence of knocking with a detection signal produced during the time in the presence of knocking.
摘要:
In normal load operating conditions of the engine, an ignition timing control unit produces an ignition timing signal in accordance with the rotation speed and intake negative pressure of the engine. In transitions, for example, from idling operation to normal load operation, and vice versa, an ignition timing delaying circuit in the ignition timing control unit produces a correction signal by detecting whether or not the throttle valve is fully closed. When the correction signal is produced, the ignition timing control unit produces corrected ignition timing signal so that, in the transient periods of operation, the ignition timing is gradually changed to a predetermined ignition timing.
摘要:
It is discriminated in an ignition timing control system for an internal combustion engine whether the ignition timing arithmetically calculated on the basis of sensed operating conditions of the engine lies within a predetermined range of ignition timing. When the result of discrimination indicates that the calculated ignition timing lies within the predetermined range, ignition occurs at that instant, while when the result of discrimination indicates that the calculated ignition timing does not lie within the predetermined range, the result of calculation is disregarded, and ignition occurs at a predetermined instant.
