Title: A DEVICE FOR THE CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL OF THE IDLING SPEED OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE The present invention relates to a device for the loop control of the idling speed of an internal combustion engine to which air is supplied, in operation, through a duct provided with a throttle valve.
The device according to the present invention is characterised in that it comprises in combination: a solenoid valve for adjusting the quantity of air supplied to the engine, arranged in a by-pass duct of a throttle valve and provided with an excitation coil; an electronic switch in series with the coil, between the two poles of a direct-voltage supply, a signal generator for applying a square-wave signal with a variable duty cycle to a control input for.switching the switch,,. sensor means for providing electrical signals indicative of operating conditions of the engine, including the rate of revolution and the temperature of the engine, monitoring means for monitoring the current flowing in the coil of the solenoid valve, and an electronic control unit for controlling the duty-cycle of the signal emitted by the generator in a predetermined manner in dependence on the signals provided by the sensor means and by the monitoring means, the unit being arranged to calculate cyclically, in a predetermined manner and in dependence on the values assumed by the parameters monitored by the sensor means, a nominal value of the duty cycle of the signal applied to the electronic switch, the nominal value being predetermined with reference to preset values of the temperature at the solenoid valve and of the voltage delivered by the supply, and 2 then correct the nominal duty-cycle value in dependence on the difference between the detected intensity of the current f lowing in the coil of the solenoid valve and the nominal current intensity which corresponds to the nominal duty-cycle value.
Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become clear from the detailed description which follows with reference to the appended drawings, provided by way of non-limiting example, in which:
Figure 1 is a diagram of a control device according to the invention, Figure 2 is a detailed electrical diagram which shows the structure of a processing circuit included in the device of Figure 1, Figure 3 is a series of f our graphs which show the traces of four signals generated in the device of Figure 1 in operation, as functions of the time shown on the abscissa, and Figure 4 is a diagram showing the type of closed-loop control achieved by the device according to the invention.
With reference to Figure 1, an air-intake duct of an internal combustion engine with spark ignition (not illustrated) is indicated A. The air coming from a filter travels through this duct towards the engine in the direction of the arrows shown.
The duct A is provided with a butterfly valve,indicated 3 B. Two by-pass ducts between the regions upstream and downstream of the butterfly valve B are indicated C and D.
In known manner, an adjustment screw S is situated in the by-pass duct C.
The flow of air through the by-pass duct D is controlled by a solenoid valve, generally indicated E, which includes an excitation coil, indicated W.
An npn-type transistor is indicated 1 and its collector-emitter path is arranged in series with the coil W, between the two poles of a direct voltage supply V.
A diode 2 is connected in the manner illustrated, in parallel with the coil W.
A resistor 3 is connected in series with the collector-emitter path of the transistor 1, and in particular between the emitter of the transistor and earth. In operation, when the transistor 1 is made conductive, a current f lows in the coil W and in the resistor 3. In this situation,the potential difference across the resistor is proportional to the current which is flowing through the coil. This potential difference is applied as an input signal to a processing circuit, generally indicated 4 in Figure 1 and shown in greater detail in Figure 2.
The analog signal output by the processing circuit 4 is converted into corresponding digital signals by an 4 analog/digital converter 5. The digital signals are transmitted to an electronic control unit 6 produced, for example, with the use of a microprocessor.
Sensors 7-N are connected to the control unit 6 and provide it with electrical signals indicative of operating parameters of the engine, including the rate of revolution of the engine, the engine temperature, etc.
The unit 6 controls the operation of a signal generator 8 which in turn applies to the base of the transistor 1 a switching signal which has a square-wave trace with a duty cycle which is controlled by the unit 6.
As shown in Figure 2, the processing circuit 4 includes a passive integrator 9 produced, in known manner, with a resistor 10 and a capacitor 11. The output of the integrator is connected to the input of an amplifier stage 12 which, in the example illustrated, is produced with the use of an operational amplifier 13.
The amplifier stage 12 is connected to the input of a dynamic rangeexpander stage 14, also of known type, produced,in the example illustrated,with the use of two transistors 15 and 16. The output of the dynamic range-expander 14 is connected to the input of the analog-digital converter 5.
The function of the dynamic range expander. circuit is to enable the maximum possible resolution to be achieved in the conversion carried out by the converter 5. In fact, if the operational amplifier 13 outputs a maximum voltage of approximately 3.5 V (when supplied with a supply voltage of 5V) the circuit 14 makes the :1 signal vary between 0 and the reference voltage of the converter 5 and therefore, for example, to vary from 0 to 5V, thus enabling maximum possible resolution to be achieved.
Figure 3 shows example traces of the following signals:
V C: the voltage applied by the circuit 8 to the base of the transistor 1: this is a square-wave signal whose duty cycle, as stated above, is controlled by the unit 6; I w: the intensity of the current which correspondingly flows in the excitation coil W of the solenoid valve E; V R: the voltage across the resistor 3; the trace of this voltage corresponds substantially to that of I w when the signal V C is "on", but assumes a zero value when the transistor 1 is switched off (in this case the current I w flows in the loop formed by the coil W and the associated recirculating diode 2; V s: the voltage output by the integrator 9: the trace of this signal corresponds substantially to the trace of the current I W In operation, the unit 6 sets a certain value for the duty cycle of the signal generated by the circuit 8 and applied to the base of the transistor 1, on the basis of the information coming from the sensors 7-N and from the analog/digital converter 5. In fact, by modulating the duty cycle of the signal provided by the generator circuit 8, the unit 6 causes a corresponding variation in the average current flowing in the coil W of the solenoid valve E and therefore in the flow of air admitted through the by-pass duct D.
6 However, the current f lowing in the coil W is not a function soley of the duty cycle of the signal output by the generator circuit 8. In fact, for a given duty cycle, the current in W can vary as a result of the variation of the supply voltage V and/or as a result of temperature variation, which can cause a variation in the resistance of W.
For this reason, the unit 6 is arranged to calculate cyclically, in a predetermined manner, in dependence on the values assumed by the parameters monitored by the sensors 7-N, a nominal value of the duty cycle of the signal applied to the base of the transistor 1, box 50 in Figure 4. This nominal value is predetermined with reference to preset values of the temperature of the solenoid valve E, particularly of its coil W, and of the voltage delivered by the supply V. These preset values may, for example, be 40 0 C for the temperature of the coil W and 14V for the voltage delivered by the supply V.
A quite precise value of the current 1 W in the coil W, that is, a quite definite nominal intensity, corresponds to the nominal value of the duty cycle of the signal V C under the reference conditions of the temperature and the supply voltage. When the temperature of W and the voltage of V vary, the actual current flowing in W will differ from the nominal intensity. Consequently, for each cycle, the unit 6 "reads"r that is acquires, the value of the voltage across the resistor 3, which is indicative of the effective or actual current intensity in W (box 52 of Figure 4). In ef fect, as stated above, the unit 6 acquires the value of the signal V R at the output of the integrator circuit 9 of the processing circuit 4.
L 7 The signal V R thus acquired is compared (box 53) with a nominal value V Rnom (box 54) which is generated in the manner which will be described below. On the basis of the difference between these values, the unit 6 calculates a correction factor for the duty cycle (box 55) with a suitable positive or negative sign, and this is added algebraically (box 56) to the nominal value computed on the basis of the detected values of the parameters monitored. The effective duty cycle (box 57) to be set for the signal output by the generator circuit 8 to the base of the resistor 1 is thus defined.
The definition of the nominal voltage value V Rnom takes place in the following manner. A table of values of V Rnom arranged, for example, in lines and columns is stored in memory circuits of the unit 6. The columns can be addressed on the basis of ranges of values of the nominal dutycycle calculated on the basis of the signals provided by the sensors 7-N. The lines can be addressed, however, on the basis of ranges of values of the effective duty cycle, that is, of the duty cycle obtained after the correction carried out in box 56.
The unit 6 can thus determine the correct duty cycle value in any situation, even with variations in the supply voltage V and/or the temperature of the coil W.
The unit 6 is conveniently arranged to provide the analog/digital converter 5 with a conversion command pulse substantially at the moment when the transistor is switched off, that is, with reference to Figure 3, each time the signal V is made to switch from the "high" level to the "low" level. The sampled value of the signal V S thus corresponds substantially to the maximum reached.
