摘要:
An electrode structure for air-fuel ratio detecting, including a grate-like or perforated metal plate coated with a layer of alumina which is coated with a layer of platinum which is in electrical contact with a solid electrolyte which is formed for contacting both exhaust gases and the ambient atmosphere, so that when the platinum is exposed to engine exhaust gases catalytic action of the platinum lowers the oxygen partial pressure at the electrolyte surface to its equilibrium concentration causing an abrupt change in electromotive force detectible between a positive electrode in electrical contact with the solid electrolyte, and the grate electrode.

A combustion process sensor for detecting combustion processes occurring in a combustion chamber of an engine has a generally tubular mounting casing to be screwed into a threaded hole in the combustion chamber wall and a quartz-glass rod axially extending in the mounting casing and held in position therein. The casing includes two axially aligned generally tubular members rigidly secured together at their own ends. The quartz-glass rod has a first portion remote from a sensing end thereof adapted to be exposed to combustion flame in the combustion chamber, and a second portion between the first portion and the sensing end. The first portion is secured to one of the two tubular members of the casing, while the second portion is supported from the casing only by a vibration damping material disposed in engagement with the outer peripheral surface of the quartz-glass rod and the inner peripheral surface of the casing.

An exhaust gas purification system for an internal combustion engine includes a dual passage portion having a first passage and a second passage which are connected in parallel to each other. In the first passage, a first catalyst constructed of lean NOx catalyst is located and further a second catalyst constructed of oxidizing catalyst or three-way catalyst is located downstream of the first catalyst. In the second passage, a third catalyst constructed of oxidizing or three-way catalyst is located. A flow switching valve is provided so as to switch the flow of exhaust gas between the first passage and the second passage. The flow switching valve is switched so that exhaust gas flows through the third catalyst when the engine is being warmed-up and flows through the first catalyst and the second catalyst after the engine has been warmed-up.
摘要:
A method of reducing the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in an internal combustion engine in which the air/fuel ratio is controlled higher than a theoreticl air/fuel ratio during normal operation of a vehicle, characterized in that the air/fuel ratio is controlled lower than the theoretical air-fuel ratio for a predetermined period of time during acceleration from the start of acceleration, the control being effected by means for detecting an accelerated state of the vehicle, means for measuring the lapse of time during acceleration from the start of acceleration and means for performing an acceleration increment correction upon detection of acceleration.
摘要:
An engine comprising an intake port which has a separating wall projecting downward from the upper wall of the intake port. The separating wall defines a helical portion, an inlet passage portion tangentially connected to the helical portion, and a bypass passage interconnecting the inlet passage portion to the helical portion. A rotary valve is arranged in the bypass passage and actuated by a vacuum operated diaphragm apparatus. The rotary valve is opened when the amount of air fed into the cylinder of an engine is increased beyond a predetermined value. The separating wall has a height which is equal to approximately half the height of the intake port in the vicinity of the rotary valve.

A rotary valve is arranged in the bypass passage and actuated by a vacuum operated diaphragm apparatus.

In an exhaust gas recirculation system for an internal combustion engine, a flow control valve is disposed within a recirculation pipe and operatively connected to a pneumatically operated servomotor to control the flow quantity of exhaust gases through the recirculation pipe, and an orifice is disposed within the recirculation pipe upstream of the valve to form a space between the valve and the orifice. A pressure regulator serves to modulate negative pressure from an engine intake manifold to the servomotor on a basis of pneumatic pressure applied thereto and pressure in the space. The pneumatic pressure applied to the pressure regulator is electrically controlled to satisfy the following equation.Pd=f(Pv, N)where the character Pd is the pneumatic pressure applied to the pressure regulator, and the characters Pv and N respectively indicate the negative pressure in the intake manifold and the engine speed.
摘要:
An exhaust gas purifying apparatus comprising a first and a second casings having expansion chambers, respectively, a third casing arranged between the first and second casings to form a passage therebetween, an inlet pipe introducing the exhaust gas into the first expansion chamber, and an outlet pipe discharging the exhaust gas from the second expansion chamber, whereby a muffler is constituted. The apparatus also comprises a filter arranged in the third casing to trap particulates in the exhaust gas, and a heater arranged adjacent to the filter on the side of the second expansion chamber to burn the particulates deposited on the filter, to regenerate the filter. A flow control unit, comprising a bypass and a valve therein, is arranged such that the exhaust gas normally flows through the filter and the heater, and when the filter is regenerated, at least a part of the exhaust gas flows in reverse through the heater and the filter. This exhaust gas purifying apparatus is built-in to the muffler.
摘要:
An internal combustion engine of a lean burn type, wherein the air-fuel ratio is feedback controlled to a predetermined fixed value which is higher than a theoretical air-fuel ratio. The ignition timing is changed when the air-fuel ratio as detected by a lean sensor is off from the target air-fuel ratio, enabling quick control of the engine when the air-fuel ratio is off from the target air fuel ratio.

An air intake device comprising a main air intake passage and an auxiliary air intake passage, in which the main air intake passage interconnects the air cleaner to the engine cylinders and the auxiliary air intake passage is connected to the air cleaner at one end thereof and to the main air intake passage at the other end thereof. The equivalent pipe lengths of the main air intake passage and the auxiliary air intake passage are almost the same. An air pulsation control valve actuated in response to the engine load and the engine speed is arranged in the other end of the auxiliary air intake passage. The engine has a helically-shaped intake port comprising a helical portion, an inlet passage portion, and a bypass passage branched off from the inlet passage portion and connected to the helix terminating portion of the helical portion. A flow path control valve actuated in response to the engine load is arranged in the bypass passage. The opening and closing operation of the air pulsation control valve is carried out when the flow path control valve is open.
