    摘要: An air-fuel ratio control system for a multi-cylinder engine is provided. An air-fuel ratio sensor is arranged in an exhaust system of the engine for detecting an air-fuel ratio of a mixture supplied to the engine and for generating an output indicative of the air-fuel ratio of the mixture. An adaptive controller determines an amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine with a first predetermined repetition period in a manner such that the output from the air-fuel ratio sensor becomes equal to a desired value. An adaptive parameter-adjusting mechanism adjusts adaptive parameters used by the adaptive controller. In the adaptive parameter-adjusting mechanism, the adaptive parameters are calculated with a second predetermined repetition period longer than the first predetermined repetition period, and output data indicative of results of the calculation is generated. Further, the output data indicative of results of the calculation is smoothed and output data indicative of the smoothed data is generated with a repetition period at least equal to the first predetermined repetition period. The adaptive controller uses the smoothed data as values of the adaptive parameters.

    摘要: An adsorbent state determining apparatus is provided for accurately determining the state of an adsorbent including a deterioration as well as for allowing for recovery of the adsorbent if its adsorbent performance can be restored. The adsorbent state determining apparatus determines the state of an adsorbent for adsorbing hydrocarbons contained in exhaust gases. An upstream and a downstream temperature sensor are provided at upstream and downstream locations of the adsorbent in an exhaust system for detecting temperatures of exhaust gases upstream and downstream of the adsorbent. An engine water temperature sensor detects an operating state of the engine. An ECU estimates the temperature of the exhaust gas which should be detected downstream of the adsorbent during adsorption of the adsorbent based on the upstream temperature detected by the upstream temperature sensor and an engine water temperature of the engine detected by the engine water temperature sensor. The ECU then compares the estimated downstream temperature with the detected downstream temperature detected by the downstream temperature sensor during adsorption of the adsorbent to determine the adsorption state of the adsorbent.

    摘要: A first exhaust gas sensor 5 (air-fuel ratio sensor) and a second exhaust gas sensor 6 (O2 sensor) are disposed respectively upstream and downstream of a catalytic converter. An exhaust system E which ranges from the exhaust gas sensor 5 to the exhaust gas sensor 6 and includes the catalytic converter 3 is regarded as an object exhaust system E, and a behavior of the object exhaust system E is modeled. When an internal combustion engine 1 is in operation, parameters to be set of the model of the object exhaust system E are sequentially identified based on the data of outputs of the exhaust gas sensors 5, 6. A deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 is determined based on the data of the identified values. Concurrent with the determination of the deteriorated state, a target air-fuel ratio for the internal combustion engine 1 is sequentially determined in order to converge the output of the exhaust gas sensor 5 to a given target value, and the air-fuel ratio of the internal combustion engine 1 is controlled to converge the output (the detected value of the air-fuel ratio) of the first exhaust gas sensor 5 to the target air-fuel ratio, for thereby allowing the catalytic converter 3 to achieve an optimum purifying capability. In this manner, the deteriorated state of the catalytic converter 3 can be determined in various operation states of the internal combustion engine 1 while keeping the purifying capability of the catalytic converter 3.

    摘要: An exhaust system is regarded as being equivalent to a system for generating an output of an O2 sensor or exhaust gas sensor from a combined air-fuel ratio that is produced by combining outputs of air-fuel ratio sensors associated with respective cylinder groups according to a filtering process of the mixed model type. With the equivalent system as an object to be controlled, an exhaust system controller determines a target value for the combined air-fuel ratio, and determines a target air-fuel ratio for the cylinder groups from the target combined air-fuel ratio. The outputs of the air-fuel ratio sensors are converted to the target combined air-fuel ratio under feedback control.

    摘要: A plant control system has a reference value setting unit for variably setting a reference value for an air-fuel ratio to be given to an exhaust system including a catalytic converter, depending on a component based on an adaptive control law of a manipulated variable of the air-fuel ratio generated by a controller according to an adaptive sliding mode control process in order to converge an output of an O2 sensor disposed downstream of the catalytic converter to a target value. The manipulated variable generated by the controller represents the difference between the air-fuel ratio and the reference value, required to converge the output of the O2 sensor to the target value.

    摘要: An object system is regarded as being equivalent to a system for generating an output of an O2 sensor or exhaust gas sensor from a target combined air-fuel ratio that is produced by combining target air-fuel ratios KCMD for respective cylinder groups according to a filtering process of the mixed model type. With the equivalent system as an object to be controlled, an air-fuel ratio processing controller determines a target combined air-fuel ratio, and determines a target air-fuel ratio KCMD for each of the cylinder groups from the target combined air-fuel ratio. The air-fuel ratios in the cylinder groups are manipulated into the target air-fuel ratio according to a feed-forward control process.
