    摘要: A method and control system to accomplish knock control on a multi-cylinder spark-ignition internal combustion engine equipped variable cam phasing system, comprising monitoring cam position, crankshaft position, and, engine knock signal, determining cam position relative to crankshaft position, and implementing either a global cylinder knock control strategy or an individual cylinder knock control strategy, based upon whether the determined cam position relative to crankshaft position is near a default position, the determined cam position indicates the variable cam phasing system is operating in a transient mode, or, the determined cam position relative to crankshaft position is substantially different from the default position.

    摘要: A device for rejecting noise in an ion-sense ignition knock signal compares an integrated knock signal to a peak knock signal multiplied by a time factor to determine the presence of noise. A bandpass filter coupled to an engine's spark plug through ion-sensing circuitry generates a filtered knock signal. The filtered knock signal is passed through a rectifier to produce a rectified knock signal. The rectified knock signal is then passed through an integrator and a peak detector to produce an integrated knock signal and a peak knock signal, respectively. The peak knock signal is multiplied by a predetermined time factor and the result is compared to the integrated knock signal. If the result is less than the integrated knock signal, then no noise disturbance occurred and the integrated knock signal is passed on to a knock detector. If, on the other hand, the result is greater than the integrated knock signal, a noise disturbance has occurred and the integrated signal is reduced to some minimum value before being passed on to the knock detector.

    摘要: An improved method of identifying the cylinder combustion sequence of a four-stroke internal combustion engine accepts of rejects an assumed combustion sequence based on measured ion current combustion quality (CQ) indications. Individual CQ indications for the various engine cylinders are algebraically combined as a function of the assumed combustion sequence so that the combined CQ indication increases in a first polarity if the assumed combustion sequence is correct, and in a second polarity if the assumed combustion sequence is incorrect. When the absolute value of the combined CQ indication exceeds a threshold, the polarity of the combined CQ indication is used to either accept or reject the assumed combustion sequence. Each of the measured CQ indications are used without regard to the engine operating condition, and the threshold to which the combined CQ indication is compared is reflective of a confidence level in the assumed combustion sequence, and is not used to distinguish between combustion and exhaust strokes in an individual engine cylinder.

    摘要: Disclosed is a bias and measuring circuit that improves the ion sense measurement and ignition performance of an Ion Sense Ignition system where the ion current signal processing is implemented remote from the ignition coil. Specifically, the bias and measuring circuit of the invention reduces the effects of secondary harness capacitance on the ion current signal, minimizes the effects of harness electrical leakage and reduces the chances for “spark-on-make” (an ignition firing when the ignition coil primary is initially energized).
