Embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates air fuel ratio control system according to an embodiment of the invention.As shown in fig. 1, internal-combustion engine (or engine system) 1 comprises with the bottom as primary clustering: at least one cylinder 5, cylinder 5 comprise suction valve 2, outlet valve 3 and spark plug 4; Be deployed in the fuel injector (or Fuelinjection nozzle) 7 in the suction port 6; Exhaust sensor 8 is used for the oxygen concentration in sensing exhaust passage 9 or the relief opening; And control unit 10, be used to control the operation of suction valve 2 and outlet valve 3, spark plug 4 and fuel injector 7.Fuel injector 7 can serve as the actuator in the air fuel ratio control system, and control unit 10 can serve as the formant of the controller in the air fuel ratio control system.
The engine temperature of temperature transducer or engine temperature sensing unit 11 sensing motors 1 or motor ambient temperature, for example engineer coolant temperature, lubricating oil temperature or ambient air temperature.The engine load of load transducer or engine load sensor 12 sensing motors 1, for example throttle opening of motor 1. the engine speed of velocity transducer or engine speed sensor 13 sensing motors 1.These sensors are connected with control unit 10, and are arranged to the information about the power operation situation that senses is offered control unit 10.
Fig. 2 illustrates the air fuel ratio control procedure of being carried out by control unit 10.By this air fuel ratio control procedure, plentiful accurately-poor judgement that control system can be made, and accurately control air fuel ratio.When the ignition switch of vehicle was opened, the air fuel ratio control procedure began.
In first step S1, control unit 10 reads the information about the operating conditions that is sensed by Sensor section.In this example, Sensor section comprises temperature transducer 11, load transducer 12 and velocity transducer 13.According to motor ambient temperature, engine load and the engine speed by sensor 11,12 and 13 sensings, control system is determined required target air-fuel ratio rate.
Among the step S2 after S1, control unit 10 will read corresponding to the controlling value of the information that obtains among the S1 (will mention after a while), and make judgement about the activation of exhaust sensor 8 according to controlling value.Generally speaking, when exhaust sensor is in inactive state, under the situation of not considering air fuel ratio, the output voltage VO 2 of exhaust sensor is substantially equal to bias voltage. along with the growth of the temperature of sensor, output voltage VO 2 moves closer to plentiful side output (about 900 millivolts) and poor side output (100 millivolts), shown in the downward outlined arrow among Fig. 3.On the other hand, after engine start, the air fuel ratio of internal-combustion engine just is in plentiful state.Therefore, as what will mention after a while, whether the plentiful time output of control unit 10 by checking exhaust sensor 8 with regard to stoichiometry in the scope in the active state on plentiful side (left side of being seen among Fig. 3), determine whether exhaust sensor 8 is activated.
After activation in S2 was judged, control unit 10 advanced to next step S3.In S3, control unit 10 is checked the result that the activation of S2 is judged, and checks whether exhaust sensor 8 is in active state, and whether the execution of air fuel ratio control is allowed to.When exhaust sensor 8 was in the control of inactive state and air fuel ratio and is not allowed to, control unit 10 turned back to S1 from S3.When exhaust sensor 8 was in the control of active state and air fuel ratio and is allowed to, control unit 10 advanced to step S4, to carry out air fuel ratio control.
In S4, control unit 10 is carried out the plentiful/poor judgement of air fuel ratio according to the output value of exhaust sensor 8, and carries out air fuel ratio control, so that air fuel ratio becomes the target air-fuel ratio rate.After the air fuel ratio control operation in S4, control unit 10 returns S1.
Fig. 4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18 and 20 is flow charts that nine examples judging according to the activation of this embodiment's of the present invention S2 are shown.
The activation deterministic process of first example shown in the flow chart of Fig. 4 begins after controlling value (predetermined value of mentioning after a while) is set by the operation of S1.
In the S11 shown in Fig. 4, control unit 10 checks that whether the output voltage VO 2 of exhaust sensor 8 is more than or equal to second predetermined value (value 2).Second predetermined value is the interior value of output area that is in the exhaust sensor 8 in the active state.For example, second predetermined value equals the 750[millivolt].When output voltage VO 2 during less than second predetermined value, control unit 10 advances to step S15 from S11.When output voltage VO 2 during more than or equal to second predetermined value, control unit 10 advances to step S12. from S11
In S12, control unit 10 checks that whether the output voltage VO 2 of exhaust sensor 8 is more than or equal to first predetermined value (value 1).First predetermined value (value 1) is greater than second predetermined value, as shown in Figure 5.First predetermined value is to be in the plentiful side of the exhaust sensor 8 in the active state or the value in the plentiful time output area. for example, first predetermined value equals the 1100[millivolt].When output voltage VO 2 during more than or equal to first predetermined value, control unit 10 advances to step S13 from S12, and activation tagging (or activating judge mark) fLIGHOFF and time counter CNT_RHCHn are set to 0.Activation tagging (or activate judge mark) fLIGHTOFF is a conditional code, and when exhaust sensor 8 is in the active state, it equals 1, and when exhaust sensor 8 was in inactive state, it equaled 0.Activate and judge that it is 0 that fLIGHTOFF is reset when engine start.Time counter CNT_RICHn is the counter that is used for measuring the endurance of the output in the scope of the active state that is in exhaust sensor 8.After S13, control unit 10 stops the process of Fig. 4.When output voltage VO 2 during less than first predetermined value, control unit 10 advances to step S14 from S12.Control unit 10 resets to 0 with time counter CNT_RICHn in S14, advance to step S16 then.
