摘要:
An engine knocking detection device has a diaphragm to be disposed in contact with the engine cooling water so as to resonate with pulsations of the pressure of the cooling water caused by engine knockings, and output elements responsive to the vibration of the diaphragm to produce an electrical output signal to be utilized for the control of engine spark timing. The water-contacting surface of the diaphragm is coated with a layer of a hydrophilic material operative to prevent attachment or adhesion of air bubbles to the water-contacting surface of the diaphragm whereby the sensitivity of the diaphragm to the water pressure pulsation is improved.

In a knock detecting apparatus for an internal combustion engine, the output signal of a knock sensor whose output signal level varies in accordance with the engine conditions, engine speed, sensor sensitivity, etc., is passed through an automatic gain control circuit (AGC) thereby stabilizing the output level. The background noise level derived by integrating the output signal and the stabilized output signal are compared to detect the occurrence of knocking. The stabilized output signal is passed through a low-pass filter or a band-pass filter and the resulting control signal is used to control the gain of the AGC circuit.

In a knocking detection system for an internal combustion engine, a knocking is detected by a vibration sensor the output level of which is changed by controlling the sensor excitation current. The excitation current is controlled in dependence upon the output of the sensor, engine speed or load conditions or the like so that the output noise level of the sensor is maintained substantially constant regardless of engine operating conditions.

A device for detection of knocking in a diesel engine has a pressure sensor including a piezoelectric element and detecting a rate of change in combustion pressure, an angle sensor for detecting the rotation of the engine or engine speed, and a knocking detector for receiving outputs from the pressure and angle sensors. The knocking detector serves to detect a rate of change in combustion pressure per unit angle upon necessary correction by the engine speed and to compare the obtained rate with a reference rate of 5 atm/deg, at which knocking occurs. Knocking is detected when the detected rate exceeds the reference rate.

The pressure in the cylinder Pi(-.THETA.A) at the fixed angle -.THETA.A preceding to maximum ignition advance at the time of each combustion is determined from the output signal of a pressure detector for detecting the pressure in the cylinder of the internal combustion engine. The pressure in the cylinder Pi(+.THETA.B) at a predetermined angle +.THETA.B during the expansion process is also determined. It is decided whether the ratio Pi(+.THETA.B)/Pi(-.THETA.A) is larger or smaller than a predetermined value .beta. thereby to detect an ignition range always regardless of the running conditions of the internal combustion engine.
摘要:
A device for the detection of ignition misfire in an internal combustion engine is disclosed. A pressure detector detects changes in the combustion pressure of the engine, and a timing detector calculates a reference angular position of the engine. An ignition/misfire detection unit detects occurrences of ignition/misfire. The detection unit compares the output of the pressure detector with predetermined positive and negative reference voltages, and produces signals when these thresholds are passed. The period of a signal produced from the point of positive value detection to the negative value detection is counted and another period which is double the period from the generation of the positive value to the signal from the timing detector unit is counted. These two signals are then compared against one another, using a predetermined program, to detect if ignition or misfire has occurred in the internal combustion engine. A sample and hold circuit may also delay the value obtained by the pressure detector, if necessary.
摘要:
An ignition range detector for an internal combustion engine is disclosed, in which at each combustion of the internal combustion engine, a pressure signal of a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure in a cylinder is integrated by a signal associated with the crank angle to produce an area S.sub.1 +S.sub.2 presenting the combustion state. At the same time, the pressure signal for a hypothetical case of misfire under the same condition is integrated to produce an area S.sub.1. It is decided whether the ratio (S.sub.1 +S.sub.2)/S.sub.1 is higher than a predetermined value .alpha. or not thereby to detect an ignition range always stably regardless of the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine including the load thereon.
