Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of electronic position sensor assemblies and the use of position sensor signals in a control system.
  • the present invention has particular application to an electronic engine-control system, especially such a system which utilizes electronic spark distribution and/or electronic fuel control signal distribution so as to sequentially provide control signals for the spark occurrence/fuel injection for each cylinder of a multi-cylinder engine.
  • Prior engine control systems are known in which spark timing occurrence control signals and fuel injection control signals are produced in accordance with engine speed. Typically these control signals are produced in accordance with engine cycle position signals derived by sensing the angular position of projections/slots on a wheel synchronously rotated by the engine crankshaft.
  • Such wheels are typically referred to as toothed wheels, and reluctance, Hall effect or optical sensors are utilized to sense the angular position of such wheels and thereby provide position signals corresponding to various engine cycle positions.
  • an accurate high resolution engine speed and position signal is desired. This is typically achieved by providing a large number of individual teeth on the periphery of a wheel to be rotated synchronously by the engine crankshaft such that a large number of individual pulses are produced. The repetition rate of these pulses is directly related to engine speed, and pulse time occurrence is indicative of engine cycle position. In addition, in some systems it is necessary to determine the top-dead center (TDC), or other reference, position of the piston in each one of the cylinders of a multiple cylinder engine which is to be controlled by the engine control system.
  • TDC top-dead center
  • Some prior systems utilize a separate sensing element to provide this top-dead center reference position information by sensing a projection/slot on the rotating wheel (or on a different wheel) which is separate from the large number of individual teeth already being sensed to produce the high resolution engine speed/position signal.
  • a reference cylinder identification signal CID which identifies one of the multiple cylinders to be controlled as a reference cylinder as opposed to any other of the cylinders. This signal is then used to insure proper initial routing (distribution) of control signals to the various cylinders while the TDC signal may control the timing of the subsequent sequential routing of control signals.
  • a sensor system to reliably produce all three types of required signals without using an excessive number of sensors and without using an extensive amount of circuitry or requiring extensive microprocessor calculation time.
  • a system should also be able to produce the required high resolution signal and reference signals even if a sensor element fails.
  • Some prior systems such as U.S. patent 4,658,786 to Foss et al., take some corrective action in case of a detected fault, but typically the high resolution signal is lost if any sensing element producing that signal fails and/or such systems provide extra circuitry for normally using a different signal as a reference signal and guard against loss of this different reference signal by using, if a fault, the original reference signal.
  • Some systems use simplified coincidence detection circuitry, such as U.S. patent 4,385,605 to Petrie et al., to provide a reference signal, but in the event of a sensing element failure, no reference signal is provided.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved electronic position sensor assembly and an improved electronic engine control system which utilizes a minimum number of position sensor elements while readily providing desired reference signals without excessively complex circuitry or extensive computer programming or operation.
  • An additional object of the present invention is to provide a control system in which, in response to a fault detected in one of the outputs of a dual sensor assembly, the other output of the assembly is then utilized while proper operation of the control system is maintained.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an improved two-sensing element system which uses coincidence detection to provide a reference signal, and provides a substitute reference signal even if one sensing element fails.
  • an improved electronic position sensor assembly comprising: a wheel rotatably driven about an axis, said wheel having thereon a plurality of projections/slots of at least three different angular widths a, b and c, angular width a being less than angular width b which is less than angular width c; a sensor means positioned fixed with respect to and adjacent said wheel, said sensor having at least first and second sensing elements each independently sensing the passage of each of said projections/slots by the sensing element and producing in response thereto a signal pulse having a duration corresponding to the angular width of said sensed projection/slot; said first and second sensing elements spaced apart by a dimension d corresponding to an angular width which is less than angular width c but more than angular width a and more than angular width b; coincidence means for providing a first reference signal in response to said first and second sensing elements simultaneously producing said signal pulses; and means
  • the electronic position sensor assembly described above is utilized in an electronic engine control system wherein at least signal pulses from one of said first and second sensing elements and at least one of the first and second reference signals are utilized to control fuel combustion in cylinders of the engine.
  • This control of fuel combustion can comprise either controlling the spark occurrence which initiates fuel combustion or the amount of or time occurrence of injection of fuel in each cylinder, preferably as determined by fuel injection signals.
  • the present invention involves providing two sensing signals which differ from each other only in their time occurrence in that one signal directly corresponds to the other signal, except shifted in time occurrence by an amount determined by the spacing between the two sensing elements and the rotational speed of the rotated wheel.
  • one of the sensing signals is used for primary control of spark timing and/or fuel injection control functions.
  • the other signal is then utilized since it directly corresponds to this first signal, except that it is effectively shifted in time occurrence by a fixed angular amount.
  • the spark timing and fuel control circuits can be compensated in response to this fault detection so that the end result will be a control system which operates exactly as the control system did prior to the fault detection.
  • a reference cylinder identification signal is produced in response to the simultaneous occurrence of pulses by both of the two sensing elements.
  • a substitute reference cylinder reference signal means is effectively enabled so as to produce a substitute reference cylinder signal. This signal is then utilized by electronic spark timing distributor and fuel injection distributor circuits to assure that the proper engine cylinders receive, in proper sequence, the spark timing and fuel injection control signals designated for those cylinders.
  • the present invention utilizes a single sensor having dual sensing elements to provide all three types of the needed information comprising a high resolution engine speed/position signal, a TDC reference signal for each cylinder and a cylinder identification CID reference signal.
  • the present invention also provides for successful engine control operation if a subsequent fault in one of the two sensing signals being produced by the sensing elements is detected. While a majority of the functions of the present invention are preferably implemented by a programmed microprocessor or computer, the critical determination (identification) of the number 1, or reference, cylinder can be readily and inexpensively provided by simple external discrete coincidence circuitry, such as an AND gate. This therefore enables the programmed microprocessor or computer to implement additional engine control functions thereby providing an improved engine control system.
  • an electronic engine control system 10 is illustrated in which spark occurrence signals and fuel injection signals are developed for each cylinder in a multi-cylinder (4 cylinder) engine.
  • the control system includes an electronic position sensor assembly which includes a rotating wheel 11 that is synchronously rotated about an axis 11′ by the crankshaft of an engine (motor) which is not shown. Therefore the wheel 11 is rotated in accordance with engine cylinder cycle position.
  • engine cylinder cycle position refers to the cyclic position of a piston associated with each cylinder.
  • a dual sensor 12 is provided which has a first sensing element 13 and a second sensing element 14, each of which independently senses the passage of each of a plurality of projections/slots 15 provided on the rotating wheel 11.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the preferred positioning and construction of the dual sensor 12 and the rotating wheel 11 which preferably comprises a slotted disk.
  • the projections/slots 15 comprise straight radially extending slots in the rotating wheel 11.
  • the dual sensor 12 preferably comprises a two sensing element optical interrupter assembly in which a light, not shown in FIG. 2 but positioned behind the rotating wheel 11, selectively actuates the sensor elements 13 and 14 to produce signal pulses in accordance with the passage of the slots 15. Projections on the wheel 11 and a two-sensing element Hall effect sensor could possibly also be used.
  • the slots 15 are provided in at least three different angular widths a, b or c with angular width a being less than angular width b which is less than angular width c.
  • the sensing elements 13 and 14 are fixed with respect to each other and spaced apart by a dimension d which corresponds to an angular width which is less than angular width c but more than angular width a and more than angular width b.
  • the sensing elements 13 and 14 produce their respective signal pulses as part of two associated output signals A and B produced at output terminals A and B, respectively.
  • the rotating wheel 11 has three slots having an angular width b corresponding to 3 degrees, one slot having an angular width c corresponding to 7 degrees and thirty-two slots having an angular width a corresponding to 1 degree.
  • a plurality of the 1 degree slots a are provided between each of the slots b and c on the wheel 11.
  • the distance between radial straight leading edges 15′ of each of the slots 15 is an angular width spacing e corresponding to 10 degrees, and the rotating wheel 11 is rotated about its axis 11′ in an angular direction 11 ⁇ , as indicated in FIGS.
  • leading edges 15′ of the slots correspond to those edges of the slots which first pass by the sensing elements 13 and 14.
  • leading edges 15′ comprise radially-directed straight edges with respect to axis 11′, with each edge 15′ being independently sensed by each sensing element 13 and 14.
  • the spacing d between the sensing elements 13 and 14 corresponds to an angular width of 5 degrees. All angular widths referred to herein are measured with respect to the axis 11′ for the rotating wheel 11.
  • This function is provided by the slots b and c having angular widths of substantially greater than the angular width of the slots a with the positioning of the leading edges of each of slots b and c corresponding to the TDC cycle position for an associated one of the 4 engine cylinders, respectively.
  • circuitry or a microprocessor can determine when a pulse duration of a signal is substantially longer (by at least a factor of 1.5) than an immediately preceding pulse duration of a repetitive signal.
  • U.S. patent 4,628,269 to Hunninghaus et al. assigned to the same assignee as the present invention illustrates such a circuit in the context of a missing or extra pulse detector wherein a longer between-pulse duration is distinguished from preceding and following shorter between-pulse durations.
  • a programmed microprocessor or computer operating in accordance with the '269 patent which structure will be contained within a spark timing control 16 in FIG.
  • the present invention preferably does not utilize an additional microprocessor program so as to also distinguish between the wider 7 degree reference slot c and the narrower 3 degree shorter reference slots b. This would require too much computing time.
  • the present invention utilizes external discrete circuitry.
  • This external discrete circuitry is actually extremely inexpensive and simple in that it essentially comprises a coincidence AND gate 21 which receives inputs from each of the terminals A and B and provides an output at a terminal 22. In essence, only when the slot c passes by the dual optical interrupter assembly 12 will pulses be simultaneously produced at the output terminals A and B.
  • the AND gate 21 essentially acts as a coincidence means circuit and will provide a first cylinder identification (CID) reference signal at terminal 22 in response to this condition caused by the first and second sensing elements 13 and 14 simultaneously producing an output signal pulse.
  • CID cylinder identification
  • FIG. 3 attempts to linearly illustrate on uniform horizontal time axes the angular position relationships between the slots 15 and output signal pulses which are produced at the terminals A and B.
  • the slots 15 are shown as a horizontal linear progression moving in a horizontal direction past the stationary sensor 12.
  • the resultant output pulses provided at the terminals A and B caused by this movement are also shown in FIG. 3 on corresponding horizontal time axes.
  • the cylinder identification information provided at terminal 22 is provided to the spark timing control 16 for further processing such that it will be utilized by an electronic spark distributor 23 and an electronic fuel injection distributor 24.
  • These electronic distributors essentially receive spark timing occurrence control signals from the spark timing control 16 and fuel injection control signals from a fuel control circuit 25, respectively, and provide these signals, in the proper sequence, to the cylinders 17 through 20.
  • Electronic spark timing and fuel injection distributors such as the distributors 23 and 24 are well known. These distributors essentially comprise an electronic sequential gating of spark timing or fuel injection signals to appropriate cylinders without the use of a rotating mechanical switch, such as the rotating mechanical distributor member in prior engine control systems.
  • a switch arm is rotated in synchronization with engine rotation so that a developed spark timing or fuel control signal for cylinder 1 is only channeled to cylinder 1.
  • the channeling of the spark timing and/or fuel injection control signals is accomplished electronically, and for this reason it is necessary to determine not only the top-dead center position of each of the cylinders, but also to distinguish a first or reference cylinder top-dead center position from other cylinder top-dead center positions.
  • the coincidence gate 21 distinguishes the occurrence of the cylinder 17 top-dead center position from the occurrence of each of the other cylinder top-dead center positions. This is accomplished without the use of any additional sensor element.
  • each of the spark distributor 23 and fuel distributor 24 there essentially exists a conventional multiplex circuit which channels received information to appropriate cylinders in a predetermined sequence.
  • This multiplex circuit is essentially reset (synchronized) in response to the occurrence of a reference signal provided by the spark timing control 16 which corresponds to the occurrence of the No. 1 reference cylinder top-dead center cycle position.
  • This signal is provided by the spark timing control 16 at a terminal 26.
  • the signal at terminal 26 may also be coupled to the fuel injection control circuit 25 for use thereby. As will be explained in detail subsequently, normally the signal at the terminal 26 will correspond to the first reference signal at the terminal 22.
  • spark timing control 16 will utilize a programmed microprocessor to determine when a sensor pulse is substantially longer than the 1 degree sensor pulses, determining the occurrence of the reference cylinder TDC position merely requires the utilization of the AND gate 21. Therefore, this reference cylinder determination does not unnecessarily and additionally burden the programmed microprocessor which is contemplated as being within the spark timing control 16.
  • each of the sensor output terminals A and B is coupled to a switch 27 which provides an output at a terminal 28 that is connected as an input to both the spark timing control 16 and the fuel injection control circuit 25.
  • the signal at the terminal 28 comprises either the signal A at the terminal A or the signal B at the terminal B depending upon whether or not a fault detector 29 has determined that a fault exists in the signal at the terminal A. In the absence of a fault, the signal A is provided at terminal 28.
  • the operation of the fault detector 29 will now be discussed with reference to the specific embodiment of this component shown in FIG. 4 and the waveforms shown in FIG. 5 which illustrate how this embodiment operates.
  • the fault detector 29 comprises a conventional D-type flip-flop 30 whose clock terminal is directly connected to the output terminal A and whose data terminal D is connected to ground.
  • the clear terminal CLR of the flip-flop 30 is connected to a logic 1 high state H, and the set terminal SET of the flip-flop receives its input from a terminal C.
  • the output terminal B is connected as an input to a one-shot monostable multivibrator 31 which provides an output at the terminal C.
  • the terminal B is also connected to the clock terminal of a flip-flop 31 whose data terminal D is connected to a Q1 output terminal of flip-flop 30.
  • the clear and set terminals of the flip-flop 31 are connected to a logic 1 high state H, and the flip-flop 31 provides an output Q2 at an output terminal 32.
  • the operation of the fault detector 29 will now be discussed with reference to the circuit in FIG. 4 and the waveforms shown in FIG. 5.
  • the signal at the terminal A comprises a series of repetitive pulses with the first such pulse commencing at a time t0.
  • the signal at the terminal B essentially comprises an identical pulse stream which is just delayed from the signal at terminal A by the 5 degree angular width spacing d between the sensing elements 13 and 14.
  • the pulses shown in FIG. 5 for the signal at the terminal B will normally commence at times t1 subsequent to t0.
  • the time delay between t0 and t1 is related to the angular rotational speed of wheel 11 and the spacing d.
  • a short-duration negative pulse is provided at the terminal C which terminates at a subsequent time t2.
  • the flip-flop 30 is then set high by the next occurrence of a low logic state for the signal at the terminal C which occurs substantially at t1.
  • the fault detector 29 determines that a fault exists resulting in the absence of signal transitions at the terminal A, a high logic level will be produced at the terminal 32 indicative of such a fault condition.
  • the switch 27, which previously provided the signal at the terminal A to the terminal 28 for utilization by the spark timing control 16 and fuel injection control circuit 25, will now provide the duplicate, but slightly delayed, sensor signal B at the terminal B for use by the spark timing and fuel control circuits 16 and 25. This is accomplished in the following manner.
  • the terminal A is connected as an input to an AND gate 33 which receives another input via an inverter 34 connected between the terminal 32 and the AND gate 33.
  • the terminal B is connected as an input to an AND gate 35 that receives another input by virtue of a direct connection to the terminal 32.
  • the outputs of the AND gates 33 and 35 are connected to an OR gate 36 which provides, as its output, a signal at the terminal 28.
  • the detected fault indicative of a loss of signal transition information at the terminal A, will also impair the reliability of the reference cylinder top-dead center identification signal produced at the terminal 22. It is for this reason that the fault detection signal at the terminal 32 is also connected as an input to the spark timing control 16.
  • the spark timing control 16 will include therein a substitute reference pulse circuit 40 (or computer program) which, in response to a detected fault, will produce a substitute reference cylinder top-dead center identification signal at terminal 26 rather than providing the signal at the terminal 22 as its output. This is accomplished in the following manner.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates a preferred embodiment for the spark timing control 16.
  • the main function of the control 16 is to receive high resolution engine position signals (A or B) provided at the terminal 28 and produce suitable spark timing occurrence control signals. These controls signals are provided at an output terminal 41 which is connected as an input to the electronic spark distributor 23 that presents these signals, in an appropriate sequential manner, to each of the engine cylinders 17 through 20.
  • a or B engine position signals
  • These controls signals are provided at an output terminal 41 which is connected as an input to the electronic spark distributor 23 that presents these signals, in an appropriate sequential manner, to each of the engine cylinders 17 through 20.
  • this general overall function of the spark timing control 16 such a function can be implemented by numerous well-known prior art circuits.
  • the spark timing control 16 includes a substitute reference pulse circuit 40 which is similar in operation to the reference pulse verification circuit shown in U.S. patent 4,553,426 to Capurka, which is assigned to the same assignee as the present invention.
  • the substitute reference pulse circuit 40 essentially comprises a counter 42 which counts the pulses produced at the terminal 28 and will generate an output reset pulse at a predetermined count which corresponds to the predetermined number of pulses (corresponding to slots a and b) which exist between each occurrence of the reference cylinder identification top-dead center slot c.
  • 35 pulses exist between the sequential occurrence of the slot c passing by the sensing elements 13 and 14.
  • FIG. 7 illustrates the spark timing control circuit 16 as including a long versus short pulse detector 50 which, as generally indicated previously, will receive the signal at the terminal 28 and distinguish the top-dead center longer pulses attributable to the slots b or c, from the shorter duration pulses attributable to the slots a.
  • this can readily be implemented by utilizing the techniques discussed in the Hunninghaus et al. U.S. patent 4,628,269.
  • this function will be implemented by a programmed computer which will distinguish between receiving a signal pulse having a predetermined longer duration, by a factor of at least 1.5, than preceding and subsequent received signal pulses.
  • the top-dead center reference information produced by the circuit 50 can be utilized by the spark timing control 16 itself.
  • This TDC information can also be provided to the electronic spark distributor 23 and fuel distributor 24 so as to increment multiplexing circuits in these circuits so as to provide sequential gating of the spark timing and fuel injection control signals provided to the distributors 23 and 24 to the next engine cylinder. It should be remembered that these multiplexing circuits are initialized (synchronized) by the reference cylinder identification signal CID provided at terminal 26.
  • One additional feature of the present invention concerns providing, in the spark timing control 16 shown in FIG. 7, a compensation circuit 60 which receives the fault signal at the terminal 32, and, in response thereto, produces compensation for the spark timing control 16 in accordance with the angular difference between times t0 to t1.
  • the spark timing control 16 will now receive at terminal 28 the signal B at terminal B, rather than the signal A at terminal A, due to switch 27. It will be remembered that there is a fixed angular difference d between the signals A and B corresponding to the 5 degree angular spacing between the sensing elements 13 and 14. Normally, the spark timing control 16 will receive the signal A provided at the terminal A.
  • the spark timing control 16 will now receive and utilize the signal at the terminal B due to the action of the switch 27.
  • the operation of the spark timing control 16 may have to be somewhat modified to take into account that now the signal at the terminal 28 will be somewhat delayed because now this signal will correspond to the signal at the terminal B.
  • the compensation circuit 60 essentially is representative of a circuit which implements a minor modification to the general spark timing control operation of the control 16.
  • the spark control 16 can comprise a circuit such as the circuit in U.S. patents 4,168,682 to Gartner, 4,231,332 to Wrathall or 4,241,708 to Javeri. In these patents, and other similar spark controllers, it is clear that minor adjustments to spark timing can be implemented by essentially adjusting the switching threshold of a comparison circuit.
  • all that the compensation circuit 60 will implement is an adjustment of a comparison circuit internal to the spark timing control 16 so as to take into account that now the input signal at the terminal 28 will be delayed by 5 angular degrees, from the previously-received spark timing signal at the terminal 28. This correction may not always be necessary, and, in fact, it is believed that such a change in the operation of the spark timing control 16 may not substantially affect engine performance.
