摘要:
An air-fuel ratio control device switches a target air-fuel ratio from a lean set air-fuel ratio to a rich set air-fuel ratio after judging that an air-fuel ratio of an outflowing exhaust gas has become a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and an oxygen storage amount of an exhaust purification catalyst has become a switching reference storage amount, and makes an average value of the target air-fuel ratio the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio to less than the lean set air-fuel ratio, from after the estimated value of the oxygen storage amount has become the switching reference storage amount or more until judging that the air-fuel ratio of the outflowing exhaust gas has become the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio if the estimated value of the oxygen storage amount becomes the switching reference storage amount or more before judging that the air-fuel ratio of the outflowing exhaust gas has become the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
摘要:
Methods and systems are provided for estimating an engine exhaust pressure based on outputs from an exhaust oxygen sensor. In one example, a method may include estimating an exhaust pressure of exhaust gas flowing through an engine exhaust passage based on a difference between a first output of an oxygen sensor disposed in the exhaust passage and a second output of the oxygen sensor and then adjusting engine operation based on the estimated exhaust pressure. As one example, both the first and second outputs may be taken while operating the sensor in a variable voltage mode, after increasing a reference voltage of the oxygen sensor from a lower, first voltage to a higher, second voltage.
摘要:
A method of controlling an engine to help achieve a target air:fuel ratio based on data from an oxygen sensor, and related systems. At least one engine operating parameter and a sensed oxygen level are determined at two or more points in one of a rich and lean region based on data from the oxygen sensor. This information is used to help control engine operation in the other of the rich and lean regions without using directly sensed oxygen level data from that region. Thus, a control paradigm is developed in a first operating region based on oxygen level data from the oxygen sensor, and then used for control in a different second operating region without direct sensed oxygen level data in that second operating region. In some embodiments, the control paradigm may be adaptive based on changing conditions.

A control device of an internal combustion engine according to the present invention executes air-fuel ratio control based on an output of an air-fuel ratio sensor provided at an upstream side of a catalyst, with correction based on an output of an oxygen sensor at a downstream side of the catalyst. When it is determined that a degree of an output tendency in a predetermined lean region is not less than a predetermined lean degree, and that a degree of an output tendency in a predetermined rich region is less than a predetermined rich degree based on lean tendency and rich tendency values representing output tendencies of the oxygen sensor, a limit is set to the correction in a direction to more suppress enriching of an air-fuel ratio as a degree is larger in which the output of the oxygen sensor is shifted to a lean side.

A control device for an internal combustion engine includes first and second intake ports (16a, 16b) independent of each other, and first and second fuel injection valves (30a, 30b) provided for the first and second intake ports (16a, 16b), respectively, in each cylinder. Under a situation where an exhaust variable valve mechanism (38) is controlled such that a first exhaust valve (32a) is opened earlier than a second exhaust valve (32b), first and second air-fuel ratios A/F1, A/F2 are respectively obtained in a first half and a second half of an exhaust stroke. When the obtained first air-fuel ratio A/F1 (or the second air-fuel ratio A/F2) is lean, a fuel injection amount in a next cycle by the first or second fuel injection valve (30a, 30b) corresponding to the first air-fuel ratio A/F1 (or the second air-fuel ratio A/F2) that is lean is reduced.

An emission control system for an engine includes a catalyst and an exhaust-gas sensor provided downstream of the catalyst in a flow direction of exhaust gas. The exhaust-gas sensor includes a sensor element that includes a pair of electrodes and a solid electrolyte body located between the electrodes. The emission control system further includes a constant current supply portion that changes an output characteristic of the exhaust-gas sensor by applying a constant current between the electrodes, a rich direction control portion that performs a rich direction control after a fuelling-stop control, and a characteristic control portion that performs a rich responsiveness control during the rich direction control. In the rich direction control, an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas is made to be richer. In the rich responsiveness control, the constant current supply portion increases a detection responsiveness of the exhaust-gas sensor with respect to rich gas.

Various systems and methods are described for an engine system with an exhaust gas recirculation system and catalyzing and non-catalyzing intake oxygen sensors. In one example, the catalyzing oxygen sensor is utilized to measure and control exhaust gas recirculation while fuel vapor purge is measured and controlled based on the catalyzing and non-catalyzing sensors.
摘要:
A method of determining an air:fuel ratio based on information from an oxygen sensor exposed to exhaust gases of a combustion process, and related systems. A constant current is supplied to an oxygen sensor that has both an n-type sensing circuit and a p-type sensing circuit that share a common electrode. The currents in the respective sensing circuits is determined and a temperature value representative of a temperature of the oxygen sensor is determined. Then, an air:fuel ratio is determined based on the determined currents and the temperature value. The combustion process may then be controlled based on the air:fuel ratio. The air:fuel ratio may be determined, using the same oxygen sensor, across a range of air:fuel values in both the rich and lean regions; as such, the oxygen sensor may act as a wideband oxygen sensor.

In this way, the exhaust-gas recirculation may be regulated based on feedback from the sensor to control emissions.
摘要:
A soot generation amount estimation apparatus obtains a generation speed of a precursor of soot (accordingly, the concentration of the precursor) in consideration of formation of the precursor from fuel, thermal decomposition of the formed precursor, and formation of soot from the formed precursor, and estimates a generation speed of soot (accordingly, the concentration of soot (the generation amount of soot)) in consideration of formation of soot from the precursor, which depends on the concentration of the precursor, and oxidation of the formed soot. The apparatus employs a reaction model in which the reaction process in which soot is generated from fuel is divided into two steps; i.e., a reaction process in which a precursor is generated from fuel and a reaction process in which soot is generated from the precursor. Thus, phenomena, such as a “delay in soot generation” in the reaction process in which soot is generated from fuel, can be accurately simulated.
