An exhaust gas purifying apparatus having an exhaust pipe divided into at least two branches each connected to a different cylinder or cylinders. Each of the exhaust pipe branches is further connected to a secondary air supply tube to intermittently supply secondary air upstream of a three-way catalyst disposed in the branch thereby to vary periodically within a range the air-fuel ratio of exahust gases flowing into the three-way catalyst.

An exhaust gas purifying system of the type utilizing a three-way catalyst containing an oxygen storage material includes an electronic control unit for controlling the amount of secondary air supplied to the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine. The electronic control unit receives a signal from an exhaust air-fuel ratio sensor indicative of an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gases and provides a pulse signal to an electromagnetic valve disposed in the passage of the secondary air leading to the upstream of the three-way catalyst. The amount of secondary air supplied to the exhaust system is controlled such that the resultant exhaust gases having an exhaust air-fuel ratio greater than the stoichiometric ratio and those having an exhaust air-fuel ratio smaller than the stoichiometric ratio are alternately supplied to the three-way catalyst thereby to achieve the average exhaust air-fuel ratio to fall within the optimum purifying conditions of the three-way catalyst.

A method of operating a three-way catalyst which contains an oxygen storage material and which is mounted on the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. In order to operate the three-way catalyst effectively, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine is set to be richer than the stoichiometric ratio, and secondary air is intermittently supplied by an air pump into the exhaust system upstream of the three-way catalyst, thereby to alternately vary the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gases supplied to the three-way catalyst to become rich and lean with respect to the stoichiometric ratio.

An air flow amount adjusting system produces an air-fuel mixture of a desirable air-fuel ratio by controlling the direction of movement of a bypass valve mounted in an additional air supply pipe adapted to supply additional air into either the intake system or exhaust system of an internal combustion engine in accordance with an output signal produced from a gas sensor mounted in the exhaust system of the engine and indicative of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture supplied to the engine. A two-level mode signal whose threshold corresponds to the desired air-fuel ratio is produced in accordance with the output signal of the gas detector. After the two-level mode signal has changed from one level to the other level, the movement of the bypass valve is stopped for a certain period of time. If desired, the stopping period of the bypass valve may be changed in accordance with the temperature of the engine.

An air-fuel ratio controlling system for an internal combustion engine including a control circuit for controlling, in accordance with a detected air-fuel ratio, the operation of a drive motor of a control valve mounted in an additional air supply passage. The control circuit includes a timing pulse generator for generating timing pulses synchronized with a running speed of the engine and thus the control valve is intermittently rotated by a predetermined amount in response to the timing pulses. By increasing the frequency of the timing pulses during the periods of rapid acceleration and deceleration, a response to the change in the engine speed is further improved.

An air-fuel ratio adjusting system controls the amount of additional air supply through the bypass passage of the carburetor to ensure optimum engine operation even in a warming up condition of the engine. The air-fuel ratio adjusting system includes an air-fuel ratio sensor disposed in the exhaust manifold, a warm-up sensor for detecting the temperature of engine cooling water or engine block, and a control unit for providing a control signal to a driving motor for the bypass valve. The bypass valve is controlled so that the air-fuel ratio of the mixture becomes the stoichiometric one and at the same time, during the warming up condition, the maximum opening of the bypass valve is limited to a predetermined degree depending on the temperature of the engine.

摘要:
An apparatus for controlling the air-fuel ratio of an air-fuel mixture to be supplied into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine comprises a passage bypassing a carburetor and a throttle valve of the engine for supplying an additional air into the engine intake duct downstream of the throttle valve to dilute the air-fuel mixture to an air-fuel ratio most suited for the engine operation. An air valve is provided in the bypass passage to vary the air-flow cross-sectional area of the passage. The opening of the air valve is controlled mainly in accordance with the air-fuel ratio of the mixture as detected by an air-fuel ratio detector in the path of flow of engine exhaust gases. A variable orifice is provided in the bypass passage downstream of the air valve and defined by a valve seat and a needle valve operatively associated therewith to vary the opening area of the orifice. The needle valve is actuated by a pneumatic valve actuator which is responsive to variations in the engine manifold vacuum. The arrangement is such that the pressure difference across the air valve is kept substantially constant whereby the supply of the additional air is substantially in proportion to the engine intake air and free from influence by the engine manifold vacuum.
