Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuel control apparatus employing a microcomputer, and, more particularly, to a fuel injection apparatus in which additional fuel for acceleration compensation is injected in accordance with the state of acceleration detected on the basis of the opening of a throttle valve.
  • a general purpose software that is a software in which correction, modification or addition can be effected onto the various control functions depending on the kind/use of car, is required in view of improvement in cost and/or in controllability.
  • the amount of suction air in an engine has been indirectly detected on the basis of the pressure in a suction manifold, or the total amount of suchtion air per suction stroke nas been obtained by directly detecting the air flow rate.
  • the accuracy is poor, the variations and/or deterioration in performence of engine may affect the detection, and the responsibility is not so good.
  • the latter method also has a disadvantage that a flow rate sensor having high accuracy (error: within + 1% of read value) and a wide dynamic range (1:50) is required, resulting in increase in cost.
  • hot-wire sensor a so-called hot-wire type flow rate sensor (hereinafter referred to as a hot-wire sensor) as the flow rate sensor, becuase the hot-wire sensor has a characteristic allowing a wide dynamic range and reduction in cost can be expected.
  • the suction air flow rate in engine is not constant but has pulsations, so that the output signal from a flow rate sensor has a non-linear charactristic with respect to the suction air flow, it becomes necessary to obtain the air flow rate in suction stroke in the form of integration of instantaneous air flow rates, and complex operations are required for the integration. That is, the hot-wire output voltages v shown in Fig. 1 can be obtained according to the following equation (1) : where q A represents the mass flow rate and C 1 , C 2 represent constants determined by the shape of intake manifold etc. This equation (1) can be changed into the following equation (2) :
  • the average or mean air flow rate in one suction stroke Q A can be expressed as follows: where A6 represents a crank angle between two adjacent sampling points of q A .
  • the amount of fuel injection Q F for one suction stroke can be expressed by the following equation (7) : where N represents the number of engine revolution and k a constant. This means that the amount of fuel injection Q F for one stroke can be determined on the basis of the obtained value of Q A and the number of engine revolution N.
  • the basic fuel injection amount Q F can be obtained in such a manner as described above, acceleration can not be smoothly effected by using only the thus obtained basic fuel injection amount Q F when acceleration becomes necessary, because of delay in computation of the value Q A , etc. It has been effected, therefore, to compensate the basic fuel injection amount in accordance with the detection of the state of acceleration on the basis of the change in the take-in amount of Q A .
  • the suction air flow rate Q A has pulsations as described above and an error may occur in detection of the state of acceleration. This applies to the case of decelerating operation. Therefore, the state of acceleration or deceleration is detected on the basis of the detection of the opening of the throttle valve.
  • the throttle opening TH is sampled at a predetermined regular interval of time, for example every 10 msec, (by interval interruption) so that the sampling value TH at present is compared every 10 msec with the sampling value TH(OLD) sampled before 30 msec to obtain the difference ⁇ TH therebetween and judgement is made such that the engine is in the state of acceleration when ATH > 0.
  • the additional fuel injection has been performed at the time of acceleration in accordance with the predetermined condition of the throttle opening change rate regardless of the operating conditions such as the engine speed or load.
  • the basic amount of fuel injection at low engine speed is smaller than that at high engine speed, it is difficult to accelerate the car sufficiently when the engine speed is low just before acceleration. This is because, at low engine speed, the basic amount of fuel injection is so small that it takes some time to wet the intake manifold well thereby making the fuel air mixture lean at the beginning of acceleration. This is also the case with the acceleration from an idle or decelerating state.
