摘要:
In an air-fuel ratio control device, a torque detector for detecting torque variations which indicate combustion variations in an engine is mounted at the supporting portions of the internal combustion engine. A detecting signal from the torque detector is introduced into an electronic control unit which controls the amount of injecting fuel, namely the air-fuel ratio. The electronic control unit controls the air-fuel ratio toward the lean side by the signal from the torque detector so that the combustion variations (torque variations) in the engine does not become large.

摘要:
A torque variation in an internal combustion engine due to the combustion variations is detected at each predetermined period. An average torque variation to be compared with the detected torque variation is predetermined experimentally based on the engine speed and the intake manifold pressure and is stored in a memory. The number of the detected torque variations which exceed the average torque variation multiplied by a predetermined constant is counted, and if the ratio of the counted number to the total number of the detected torque variations is larger than a predetermined reference value, then the presence of a torque variation is determined.

In an internal combustion engine, a plurality of engine rotational speeds are detected at predetermined timings for every firing stroke in one cylinder of the engine, and an engine speed variation is calculated as a variation between the square of one of the engine rotational speed and the square of another of the engine rotational speed. A process is performed upon the sequence of the engine speed variations, thus determining an engine combustion state by the processed result.

In an internal combustion engine, a standard deviation of combustion variations generated for every firing stroke of at least one cylinder is calculated. The misfire limit of the engine is detected by determining whether or not the calculated standard deviation is greater than a reference value. When the calculated standard deviation is greater than the reference value, the controlled air-fuel ratio is decreased, while when the calculated standard deviation is not greater than the reference value, the controlled air-fuel ratio is increased, thereby attaining a lean burn system without a lean mixture sensor.
摘要:
In a method for measuring variations in the output of an internal combustion engine, at least one of signals respectively representing an engine speed, torque, and internal cylinder pressure of the internal combustion engine during the firing strokes of the engine is obtained. A periodical and pulsating change in the obtained signal is detected. A differential value at a portion of the change of the signal having a maximum gradient is then detected. Another method provides measuring variations in the output of the internal combustion engine by calculating the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the change of the obtained signal. Still another method provides measuring variations in the output of the internal combustion engine by correcting the obtained value in accordance with the engine speed. Still another method provides measuring variations in the output of the internal combustion engine by calculating the difference between consecutive changes.

The flow rate of intake air in an engine, engine speed, and automobile speed are detected. The speed-change ratio of a transmission is determined and adjusted in response to a signal which is proportional to the detected intake air flow rate and inversely proportional to the detected engine speed, and in response to the detected automobile speed.

摘要:
A torque detector, particularly a torque detector for detecting a torque applied to a torque transmission shaft which is connected to a load such as a wheel of an automobile, comprises a first shaft connected to a driving shaft, a second shaft connected to a torque transmission shaft, and a plurality of elastic members, each of which is interposed between the first shaft and the second shaft for transmitting the torque of the first shaft to the second shaft while receiving the compression force between the first shaft and the second shaft when the driving shaft is driven. The first shaft comprises a flange portion wherein a plurality of long grooves are formed so as to extend in the rotating direction thereof. The second shaft comprises a flange portion wherein a plurality of long holes are formed so as to extend in the rotating direction thereof and penetrate therethrough at such positions as to be substantially opposed to said long grooves. Each of the elastic members is accommodated within each of the long holes. The projecting side portion of each of the elastic members is accommodated within each of the long grooves. The long holes are grouped into two kinds of long holes having different lengths in the rotating direction of the second shaft. One kind of long holes have a length equal to that of the long groove of the first shaft while the other kind of long holes have a length longer than that of one kind of long holes by a predetermined angular distance. Until the applied torque reaches a predetermined value, the first shaft is connected to the second shaft only through one kind of elastic members to decrease the total spring constant thereof and when the applied torque exceeds the predetermined value, the first shaft is connected to the second shaft through all of the elastic members to increase the total spring constant thereof. The torque detector further comprises a data processor by which the angular phase difference between the first shaft and the second shaft, which occurs due to the compression of the elastic members is detected and torque is calculated from the detected angular phase difference.
