另一方面,圖1(b)顯示另一種情況。與圖1(a)之情況相 似,該活塞在到達該點火位置(IT)之前被推回,因為該活 塞之力小於產生於該燃燒衝程中的壓力。然而在圖1(b)的 情況下,該引擎之反向旋轉的開始與該汽缸活塞在該壓縮 衝程中被定位於該點火位置(IT)及該上死點(TDC)之間之 141618.doc •9- 201016957 時一致。具體而言,該引擎之反向旋轉開始於該汽缸活塞 在該壓縮衝程中到達該點火位置(it)之後及該汽缸活塞到 達該上死點(TDC)之前。之後,一點火被執行於此。然 而’在該引擎汽缸之一點火塞點火之後需要一些時間以膨 脹燃燒。因此,燃燒在該汽缸活塞被推回之後(即該引擎 開始在該相反方向中旋轉之後)膨脹。該引擎之旋轉力由 此產生於該燃燒過程中》在這種情況下,該汽缸活塞被該 壓縮衝程中的壓力以及在該先前衝程循環之燃燒衝程中產 生的旋轉力推動。因此,與圖1(a)的情況相比該汽缸活塞 被更強勁地推下。其結果係該引擎在該相反方向中大體旋 轉兩次。 此外,在該正常驅動條件下的引擎旋轉速度下降被分類 為一種汽缸活塞能到達該上死點(TDC)的情況。因此,該 引擎通常繼續旋轉。 關於該引擎是否在該相反方向中旋轉及該引擎之反向旋 轉之一範圍(即角度)的實驗結果將被說明於下。 基於上述實驗結果,發明人得出如下結論。將引擎旋轉 之速度下降量作為標準區別如下兩種情況係可行的:(丨)一 種活塞能在該壓縮衝程中到達上死點(TDC)的情況;及(2) 該活塞不能在該壓縮衝程中到達該上死點(TDc)的情況。 在這裏’情況(1)意為該引擎能夠繼續旋轉,而情況(2)意 為該引擎直接停止旋轉或在於該相反方向中旋轉之後停止 紅轉。結論係,错由在該活塞不能在該壓縮衝程中到達該 上死點(TDC)時防止點火而抑制該引擎之反向旋轉的範圍 141618.doc -10· 201016957 (即角度)並進一步在多種組件上抑制由該引擎之反向旋轉 而產生的震動係可行的。 上述專利文獻1亦揭示一種利用引擎旋轉速度下降量預 測該引擎之反向旋轉的相似機制。根據專利文獻1,複數 個脈衝彳s號在該引擎(即該曲柄軸)旋轉一次時產生。然後 緊接在該引擎之點火之前的引擎旋轉速度下降量基於該等 複數個脈衝信號而被計算。更具體而言,根據專利文獻 1,在從吸入衝程到壓縮衝程期間的引擎旋轉速度下降量 • &於與之同時產生的該等複數個脈衝信號而被計算。基於 該計算結果,判定該引擎是否在該相反方向中旋轉。此 外,基於該測定結果,點火時間係予以控制。 根據該實驗及分析結果,發明人發現該引擎之反向旋轉 可被預測而無需對該引擎在一點火被執行的目前引擎旋轉 中之旋轉速度進行詳細檢測。換言之,他們發現該引擎之 反向旋轉可猎由檢測從該先前引擎旋轉之一預定曲柄時間 ❹ 及該目前引擎旋轉之一預定曲柄時間的引擎旋轉速度下降 量、以及藉由利用一預定閾值將該引擎旋轉速度下降量分 為兩組而具有極高機率的可預測性。注意用語「該目前引 擎旋轉」在此後意為執行點火的引擎旋轉。另一方面,用 語「該先前引擎旋轉」在此後意為一種緊接在該目前引擎 旋轉之前的引擎旋轉。上述事實藉由發明人最終得出的如 下結論而導出。簡言之,引擎旋轉速度下降量主要係基 於: (a)由一爆炸產生的旋轉力(即在各個衝程中,在一燃燒 141618.doc 201016957 室内的壓力變化);及 (b)旋轉相關組件的摩擦力。 依據引擎類型,力(a)與(b)二者具有獨特的值。因此, 發明人發現用於預測該引擎之反向旋轉的引擎旋轉速度下 降量係藉由檢測該引擎在該先前引擎旋轉中的旋轉速度及 在該目前引擎旋轉中的旋轉速度之間之一差異獲得,而無 須檢測該引擎在複數個緊接在該點火之前的旋轉角度位置 中的旋轉速度。此外,具體而言,利用一提供於一旋轉部 件中的突出物之一通過時間來計算該先前引擎旋轉及該目 前引擎旋轉中的旋轉速度係可行的。在此情況下,該旋轉 部件經構成為以配合一曲柄轴之移動而旋轉。此外,該突 出物具有一沿著該旋轉部件之圓周方向的預定長度。 圖2(a)及2(b)顯示支援上述技術觀點的資料。圖2(a)顯示 該引擎在目前引擎旋轉tn及在該先前引擎旋轉tnl中的旋轉 速度’測定於複數個實驗中。在圖2(a)中,縱轴為該引擎 之旋轉速度。此外,在一預定實驗中該引擎在該先前引擎 旋轉tnq及目前引擎旋轉、中的旋轉速度用一直線連接。因 此’清晰顯示一預定實驗中該引擎在該先前引擎旋轉tn l 及該目前引擎旋轉^中之旋轉速度之間的一個差異係可行 的。圖2(a)之資料指示該引擎之旋轉速度的變化以及該弓丨 擎是否在該相反方向中旋轉。該資料在一種單缸4衝程汽 油引擎之一節流閥迅速從一空轉狀態大體打開一半的條件 下獲得。在圖2(b)中,一時段T1相應於該引擎在該目前引 擎旋轉中的轉速’而一時段T2相應於該引擎在該先前引擎 141618.doc -12- 201016957 旋轉中的轉速。再次參考圖2(a) ’實線指示當該引擎在該 向前方向中旋轉(即該引擎不在相反方向中旋轉)時引擎旋 轉的速度下降量。在另一方面,虛線指示當該引擎在該相 反方向中旋轉時的引擎旋轉速度下降量。在圖2(a)中,當 一在該時段T1及時段T2之間的差異等於或大於一預定值 時,該引擎明顯在該相反方向中旋轉。如圖3(a)及圖3(b) 所顯示,一突出物26被提供於一外轉子永磁發電機之一轉 子25中。該轉子25在此被構成為以配合一曲柄轴23而旋 轉。一脈衝發生器27被構成為以檢測該突出物26的通過。 由此該突出物26之一通過時間T被該脈衝產生器27檢測, 該引擎之旋轉速度基於被檢測的通過時間T而被計算。該 突出物26具有一沿著該轉子25之一圓周方向的預定長度。 該突出物26之周長與該轉子25之一具有60度圓心角的圓弧 的長度一致。注意圖7相似地顯示該結構。 更具體而言,如圖3(a)及3(b)所顯示,該曲柄轴23被構 φ 成為以在順時針方向(即一旋轉方向R)中旋轉。如圖3(a)所 不,該脈衝產生器27被構成為以在該突出物26開始經過該 脈衝產生器27的一個時間輸出圖3(匀之一信號「u」。此 外,如圖3(b)所顯示,該脈衝產生器27被構成為以在該突 出物26結束經過該脈衝產生器27的一個時間輸出圖3(c)之 ‘號d」。6亥等#號「u」及rd」被輸入顯示於圖7中 的? cm單元28。該等信號「u」及「dj的波形被該 I單元28成形’然後一個新的脈衝信號被產生如圖 3(d)所示。 141618.doc •13· 201016957 在此情況下,輸出於圖2(b)之時間Tlu及T2u的信號相應 於圖3(c)之信號「U」。另一方面,輸出於圖2(c)之時間Tld 及T2d的信號相應於圖3(c)之信號「d」。 圖4係一基於圖2(b)之資料而創建的圖表。圖4顯示一在 相應於該引擎在該先前引擎旋轉中之旋轉速度的時段丁2及 一相應於該引擎在該相反方向中旋轉時之旋轉速度的時段201016957 VI. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an ignition control device, an internal combustion engine and a locomotive including the same. [Prior Art] In some cases (such as starting an engine), one of the crankshafts of a locomotive engine rotates in the opposite direction (note that the reverse rotation of the engine crankshaft will be referred to as "one of the engines in the reverse direction". Rotate"). For this reason, the various components of the locomotive receive a large amount of vibration. Specifically, the reverse rotation of the engine is generated by the following mechanism. In some cases (eg, starting an engine) 'when one of the engines is at a lower speed, when a fire is executed by a glow plug before a piston reaches the top dead center in one of the cylinders of the engine' It is pushed back by one of the ignitions before reaching the top dead center. Therefore, the engine will rotate in the opposite direction and suddenly stop rotating. A variety of engine starting devices have been manufactured to avoid this phenomenon. The engine starting devices are primarily constructed to avoid operation of one of the ignition devices until the speed of one of the engines reaches a predetermined speed. Moreover, the engine starting devices are configured to control whether or not ignition should be performed by simply using only one of the engine speeds as a threshold. In this case, the ignition is always prevented when the engine speed is equal to 戋 less than the threshold regardless of the speed of the engine rotation. Therefore, ignition can be prevented even in a normal L-motion operation in which the engine is not rotating in the opposite direction. In this case, a continuous normal drive operation will be blocked. On the other hand, when the threshold is set to prevent the uselessness of the continuous normal driving operation, the reverse rotation port 141618.doc 201016957 of the engine can be effectively avoided. Moreover, it is well known that the reverse rotation of the engine occurs in some cases other than starting the engine. Because &, the ideal system is to take action to suppress the above phenomenon in addition to starting the engine. In response to this, Patent Document 1 proposes an internal combustion engine that suppresses vibration caused by the reverse rotation of the engine not only at the start of the engine but also at all speed levels of the engine. According to Patent Document 1, whether or not the above phenomenon occurs is determined based on the calculation of the amount of speed drop for the engine rotation. According to this determination, a so-called hard ignition (i.e., a type of ignition not controlled by a program) or a delay ignition timing set to be later than hard ignition is configured to be performed. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. JP-A-2006-274998 [Invention] As described above, the internal combustion engine disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured to calculate the speed drop amount of the engine rotation, and determine the Whether the engine is rotating in the opposite direction and performing an ignition control. In this case, a pulse generator is constructed to generate a plurality of pulse signals in one engine rotation to calculate the amount of speed drop of the engine rotation. Specifically, 12 protrusions are provided on the outer circumference of one of the rotors of an outer rotor permanent magnet generator. The pulse generator is configured to detect the passage of the projections and to generate a plurality of pulse signals immediately after the ignition is performed. Based on the pulse signals, the amount of speed drop of the engine rotation is calculated. «Xuan and other large objects need to be placed on the rotor. This will cause the cost of manufacturing 141618.doc 201016957 to rise. On the other hand, a plurality of pulse signals are acquired in one of the slaves of the engine. Therefore, it is possible to detect the speed drop of the engine rotation highly accurately immediately before the ignition. However, since a signal period is short, high speed control processing is required. As a result, this control process requires expensive components. One of the objects of the present invention is to determine whether the amount of speed drop of the engine rotation is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount by using a simple structure, and suppressing the shock caused by one of the reverse rotations of one engine on a plurality of components by using an inexpensive structure. . An ignition control device according to the present invention includes a rotation speed detecting member, a rotation speed lowering detecting member, and an ignition preventing member. The rotation speed detecting member is configured to detect a rotation speed at a given time in an engine rotation. The rotation speed drop detecting member is configured to detect a speed decrease amount from a previous engine rotation to a current engine rotation based on the detection of the rotation speed detecting member. The current engine rotation is defined as the first engine rotation in which the ignition is performed (i.e., an engine rotation that is performed in a current engine stroke cycle). In another aspect, the prior engine rotation is defined as an engine rotation immediately preceding the current engine rotation (i.e., an engine rotation in an engine stroke cycle performed immediately before the current engine stroke cycle). The ignition preventing member is configured to prevent ignition of the current engine rotation when the amount of speed decrease detected by the rotation speed lowering detecting member is greater than a predetermined value. According to the ignition control device of the present invention, the rotational speed of one of the engines is detected at a given time of the suspected turn of the engine. Based on this detection, the amount of speed reduction of the engine rotation is detected for the engine that is ignited by the 141618.doc 201016957 and the previous engine rotation immediately before the current engine rotation. When the speed drop amount is greater than a predetermined value, the ignition in the current engine rotation is prevented. With the prevention of the ignition, it is possible to suppress the vibration generated by the reverse rotation of the engine on various components. In this case, the rotational speed of the engine at a given time in one revolution and the amount of speed decrease from the previous engine rotation to the current engine rotation are detected. Therefore, the ignition control means does not need to generate a plurality of pulse signals in one of the rotations of the engine and detect the amount of decrease in the engine rotation speed immediately before the ignition timing. In this regard, the present invention is different from the prior art. Therefore, a rotating member provided in the ignition control device does not need to have a plurality of protrusions. For example, it is feasible to use a rotor component that includes a protrusion to detect a decrease in engine rotational speed. Furthermore, the present invention does not require high speed control processing. Therefore, the control process will be simple. According to the present invention, it is feasible to determine whether the amount of decrease in the rotational speed of the engine is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount by a simple configuration. In addition, it is possible to suppress the vibration generated by the reverse rotation of the engine on a plurality of components by using an inexpensive structure. [Embodiment] The following is an experiment and analysis result on the occurrence and suppression of reverse rotation of one of the engines of the inventor of the present application. First, the present invention is based on the technical point of view: whether an engine is rotating in the opposite direction can be predicted based on the amount of decrease in engine rotation. The technique 141618.doc 201016957 will be explained in detail below. The inventors compared and examined the speed drop of the engine rotation in a normal drive operation and the speed drop in the reverse rotation of the engine. As a result, they found that the latter speed dropped more than the previous speed drop. The difference is based on whether the cylinder piston of one of the engines has a crank rotational force sufficient to allow the piston to reach top dead center (TDC) during one of the compression strokes of the next stroke cycle during one of the combustion strokes of the previous stroke cycle. The engine can easily be rotated in the opposite direction under the following driving conditions: The throttle valve is rapidly and roughly opened halfway in an idling state. The inventor checked if the engine was rotating in the opposite direction under this driving condition. As a result, they confirmed that the cylinder piston could not reach the top dead center (TDC) during the compression stroke mainly in the following two cases. Figure 1 (a) shows one of these situations. In this case, the force of the cylinder piston (i.e., the rotational force of the crankshaft) is less than the pressure generated during the combustion stroke. Therefore, the cylinder piston is pushed back before reaching an ignition position (IT). In this case, the reverse rotation of the engine begins before the cylinder piston reaches the ignition position (IT), and only the pressure generated in the compression stroke pushes the piston down. Therefore, the crankshaft rotates slightly less than once in the opposite direction and then stops rotating. - On the other hand, Figure 1(b) shows another situation. Similar to the case of Fig. 1(a), the piston is pushed back before reaching the ignition position (IT) because the force of the piston is less than the pressure generated in the combustion stroke. However, in the case of Figure 1 (b), the start of the reverse rotation of the engine and the cylinder piston are positioned between the ignition position (IT) and the top dead center (TDC) in the compression stroke of 141,618. Doc •9- 201016957 is consistent. Specifically, the reverse rotation of the engine begins after the cylinder piston reaches the ignition position (it) during the compression stroke and before the cylinder piston reaches the top dead center (TDC). After that, an ignition is performed here. However, it takes some time for the ignition to swell after ignition of one of the engine cylinders. Therefore, the combustion expands after the cylinder piston is pushed back (i.e., after the engine begins to rotate in the opposite direction). The rotational force of the engine is thereby generated during the combustion process. In this case, the cylinder piston is urged by the pressure in the compression stroke and the rotational force generated during the combustion stroke of the previous stroke cycle. Therefore, the cylinder piston is pushed down more strongly than in the case of Fig. 1(a). The result is that the engine is generally rotated twice in the opposite direction. Further, the engine rotational speed drop under the normal driving condition is classified as a case where the cylinder piston can reach the top dead center (TDC). Therefore, the engine usually continues to rotate. Experimental results on whether the engine is rotating in the opposite direction and a range of reverse rotation of the engine (i.e., angle) will be described below. Based on the above experimental results, the inventors came to the following conclusions. It is feasible to distinguish the speed of engine rotation as a standard in two cases: (丨) a case where the piston can reach the top dead center (TDC) during the compression stroke; and (2) the piston cannot be in the compression stroke. The case of reaching the top dead center (TDc). Here, 'case (1) means that the engine can continue to rotate, and case (2) means that the engine stops the rotation directly or stops the red rotation after rotating in the opposite direction. The conclusion is that the error is prevented by the ignition when the piston cannot reach the top dead center (TDC) during the compression stroke, and the range of reverse rotation of the engine is suppressed 141618.doc -10· 201016957 (ie, angle) and further in various It is feasible to suppress the vibration generated by the reverse rotation of the engine on the assembly. The above Patent Document 1 also discloses a similar mechanism for predicting the reverse rotation of the engine by using the amount of engine rotation speed drop. According to Patent Document 1, a plurality of pulse 彳s numbers are generated when the engine (i.e., the crankshaft) is rotated once. The amount of engine rotational speed drop immediately prior to ignition of the engine is then calculated based on the plurality of pulse signals. More specifically, according to Patent Document 1, the amount of engine rotation speed drop from the suction stroke to the compression stroke is calculated by the plurality of pulse signals generated at the same time. Based on the result of the calculation, it is determined whether the engine is rotating in the opposite direction. Further, based on the measurement results, the ignition timing is controlled. Based on the results of the experiment and analysis, the inventors have found that the reverse rotation of the engine can be predicted without detailed detection of the rotational speed of the engine in the current engine rotation in which the ignition is performed. In other words, they find that the reverse rotation of the engine can be hunted by detecting a predetermined crank time from one of the previous engine revolutions and a predetermined crank time of the current engine rotation, and by using a predetermined threshold The engine rotation speed reduction amount is divided into two groups and has a very high probability of predictability. Note that the phrase "this current engine rotation" is hereafter meant to rotate the engine that performs the ignition. On the other hand, the phrase "this prior engine rotation" is hereafter meant to mean an engine rotation immediately before the current engine rotation. The above facts are derived by the inventors' final conclusions. In short, the amount of engine spin speed reduction is mainly based on: (a) the rotational force generated by an explosion (ie, the pressure change in a combustion chamber during a single stroke, 141618.doc 201016957); and (b) rotation related components Friction. Depending on the type of engine, forces (a) and (b) have unique values. Accordingly, the inventors have discovered that the amount of engine rotational speed reduction used to predict the reverse rotation of the engine is determined by detecting a difference between the rotational speed of the engine in the previous engine rotation and the rotational speed in the current engine rotation. Obtained without detecting the rotational speed of the engine in a plurality of rotational angular positions immediately prior to the ignition. Moreover, in particular, it is feasible to calculate the rotational speed of the previous engine and the rotational speed of the current engine rotation by time using one of the protrusions provided in a rotating member. In this case, the rotating member is configured to rotate in response to the movement of a crank shaft. Further, the projection has a predetermined length along the circumferential direction of the rotating member. Figures 2(a) and 2(b) show information supporting the above technical viewpoints. Figure 2(a) shows the engine's determination of the rotational speed of the current engine rotation tn and the previous engine rotation tnl in a number of experiments. In Fig. 2(a), the vertical axis is the rotational speed of the engine. Further, in a predetermined experiment, the engine is connected in a straight line at the previous engine rotation tnq and the current engine rotation speed. Therefore, it is possible to clearly show a difference between the engine's rotation speed in the previous engine rotation tn l and the current engine rotation in a predetermined experiment. The data of Figure 2(a) indicates the change in the rotational speed of the engine and whether the bow engine is rotating in the opposite direction. This data was obtained from a throttle valve of a single-cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine that was rapidly opened halfway from an idling state. In Fig. 2(b), a time period T1 corresponds to the engine's rotational speed in the current engine revolution and a time period T2 corresponds to the engine's rotational speed in the previous engine 141618.doc -12- 201016957. Referring again to Figure 2(a), the solid line indicates the amount of speed at which the engine rotates when the engine is rotated in the forward direction (i.e., the engine is not rotating in the opposite direction). On the other hand, the broken line indicates the amount of engine rotation speed drop when the engine is rotated in the opposite direction. In Fig. 2(a), when a difference between the period T1 and the period T2 is equal to or larger than a predetermined value, the engine is apparently rotated in the opposite direction. As shown in Figures 3(a) and 3(b), a projection 26 is provided in one of the rotors 25 of an outer rotor permanent magnet generator. The rotor 25 is here configured to rotate in cooperation with a crankshaft 23. A pulse generator 27 is constructed to detect the passage of the protrusion 26. Thus, one of the protrusions 26 is detected by the pulse generator 27 by the time T, and the rotational speed of the engine is calculated based on the detected transit time T.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 shows a period ΤΙ -T2 of the engine rotation speed decrease amount during the period T2 and a corresponding rotation of the engine in the forward direction (ie, the engine is not rotating in the opposite direction) (see FIG. 4). The relationship between the dots). In Fig. 4, the horizontal axis is the period Τ2, and the vertical axis is the period corresponding to the amount of decrease in the engine rotation speed. According to Fig. 4, when the value of Τ 2 is large (i.e., when the engine is at a lower rotational speed in the previous engine rotation), the engine easily rotates in the opposite direction. One of the predetermined rotational speeds When the ignition is controlled using the engine as a threshold in the previous engine revolution, unnecessary ignition control will be performed. Therefore, the cycle of continuous engine rotation will be shortened. Then, paying attention to the amount of engine rotation speed drop, it is obviously feasible to suppress unnecessary ignition control when the ignition use - the predetermined value Τ 1-Τ2 shown by the dotted line_dotted line of Fig. 4 as a threshold value. ~ Figure 5 shows the experimental results of ignition execution and suppression under the conditions of Figure i(8). Specifically, FIG. 5 shows a continuous reverse rotation when the ignition control is executed and the engine is rotated in the opposite direction - a crank rotation angle Dr (hereinafter referred to as "-continuous reverse rotation angle" In Fig. 5, 'the horizontal axis is the data number, and the fourth axis is the connection 141618.doc -14- 201016957. The reverse rotation angle Dr. The data of the area A corresponds to the case where the ignition is performed' and the area B The data corresponds to the case where the ignition is not performed. It is apparent from reference to Fig. 5 that the data of the area A indicates that the engine continuously rotates about twice in the opposite direction (i.e., an angle of 600 to 700 degrees). The data for area B indicates that the engine is rotated slightly less than once in the opposite direction. Therefore, if ignition is avoided if the reverse rotation of the engine is predicted, the engine rotates slightly less than once in the opposite direction. The result is that vibrations caused by the reverse rotation of the engine are suppressed on a variety of components and further preventing damage to such components is possible. Figure 6 broadly shows the above. The horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is the rotational speed of the engine. In Figure 6, when the engine is rotated at an idle speed (idl), the throttle valve is rapidly and roughly opened halfway at a time t. In 6, the attribute S indicates that the engine continues to rotate in the forward direction and does not rotate in the opposite direction even if the throttle valve is quickly opened. On the other hand, the attributes P and Q indicate that the engine is in the opposite direction. The condition of the rotation Φ Specifically, the attribute p indicates a condition in which the ignition is avoided when the throttle valve is quickly opened under the condition that the engine rotation speed is decreased a large amount. On the other hand, the attribute Q indicates when the throttle valve is The condition in which the ignition is performed when the engine rotation speed is decreased by a large amount. In this case, the reverse rotation speed of the engine is lower in the attribute p. Further, the continuous reverse rotation angle is in the attribute. P is smaller. Specifically, as a result of the experiment, the engine continuously rotates in the opposite direction by a little less than - times. On the other hand, the reverse rotational speed of the engine is higher in the genus (four). Counter The angle of rotation is larger in the attribute Q. Specifically, as the experimental knot 141618.doc 201016957, the engine is continuously rotated approximately twice in the opposite direction. Based on the above, by detecting the amount of decrease in the engine rotation speed, Predicting whether the engine is rotating in the opposite direction based on the amount of engine rotation speed drop and avoiding ignition when the occurrence of reverse rotation of the engine is predicted, suppressing vibration generated by reverse rotation of the engine on various components and further Preventing damage to such components is possible.

It is input to a CDI unit 28. Connect to a battery 3 〇. In addition, one dollar is 28. An ignition 窒 碴杻 碴杻 = Figure 8 shows a block diagram of one of the CDI units 28. The CDI unit 28 mainly includes a voltage increasing circuit 40, a power supply circuit 41, an ignition circuit 42, a waveform shaping circuit 43, and a control unit 44. These components are connected to the battery 30 via the main switch 29. The electric house raising circuit 40 is constructed to raise a voltage supplied from the battery 3 to a primary voltage suitable for performing an ignition. The power supply circuit 41 is constructed to generate a power supply voltage suitable for a control circuit. The ignition circuit 42 mainly includes a capacitor and a thyristor. The ignition circuit 42 is configured to output a voltage from the voltage boosting circuit 40 to the ignition coil 31 in accordance with one of the control units 44. The waveform shaping circuit 43 is configured to shape a waveform of a signal from the pulse generator 27 shown in Fig. 3(c) and re-output a signal shown in Fig. 3 (the sentence. The control unit 44 There is a function of receiving a shaping signal from the waveform shaping circuit 43 and detecting an elapsed time (T1, T2, ... of Fig. 2(b)) corresponding to the rotational speed of the projection 26. Further, the control unit 44 has detection The difference between the period τι and the period T2 is a function of the engine rotation speed decrease amount. In this case, the period T1 corresponds to the engine's rotation speed in the current engine rotation, and the period T2 corresponds to the engine's previous engine rotation (ie, one The rotational speed in the rotation immediately before the current engine rotation. In other words, the control unit 44 has a function of detecting the rotational speed of the engine and detecting the amount of decrease in the rotational speed of the engine. The rotor 25 having the protrusion 26, the pulse generator 27 and the control unit of the CDI unit 28 form a rotation speed detecting member. The control unit 44 forms a rotation speed decreasing amount detecting member. The rotation speed detecting member and the rotation speed are reduced. The measuring member forms an ignition control device. Further, a 141618.doc 201016957 engine 15 including the ignition plug 32, the ignition control device and the ignition coil 3丨 form an internal combustion engine. [Ignition Control Processing] Then a kind of suppression of the engine The rotary ignition control process will be described in detail below. Note that one of the series of steps of the ignition control process is performed by the control unit 44 of the CDI unit 28. <Collection of Pickup Signal> First, 'Generate from the pulse The process of capturing a signal (i.e., a pickup signal) by the device 27 will be described in detail below with reference to Fig. 9(a). The pickup signal is used to detect the rotational speed of the engine 15. The pickup signal is processed. In step 81, it is determined whether a signal rise is detected. The rise of a pick-up signal here means a rise of a pick-up signal in the previous engine rotation. Similarly, the rise of a pick-up signal corresponds here to Figure 2(b). Time T2u. When the rise of the pickup signal is detected, the process proceeds to step 82. In step S2, a value of a free running counter (FRC) is taken as The counter value in the immediately preceding engine rotation (Crn. W, more specifically, the counter value counted in the previous engine rotation when the rise of the pickup signal is detected). In this case, the FRC is A counter configured to continuously increase a minimum unit and repeat counting from zero when the counted value reaches the maximum value. The FRC is generally used to calculate the time. When the step S2 is completed, the process proceeds to step S3. In step s3, it is determined whether a drop of a pickup signal is detected. The drop of a pickup signal here means a drop of a pickup signal in the previous engine rotation. Further, the drop of the pickup signal corresponds here to FIG. 2 (b) Time T2d in ). When detecting 141618.doc -19- 201016957 to a fall of a pickup signal, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, a value of the FRC is retrieved as a counter value (匸^丨) counted in the rotation of the preceding engine when the fall of the pickup signal is detected. § Step S4 is completed, and the process proceeds to step g5. In step μ, it is determined whether or not the next rise of a pickup signal is detected. The next rise of a pickup signal here means the rise of a pickup signal in the current engine rotation. Similarly, the next rise of a pickup signal corresponds to the time τ 1 u in Figure 2(b). When a rise in a pickup signal is detected, the process proceeds to step S6. In step S6, a value of the FRC is retrieved as a counter value (Crn) in the current engine rotation (more specifically, when one of the picked up signals is detected in the current engine rotation) Count counter value). Then, it is determined in step S7 whether a drop of a pickup signal is detected. The drop in picking 彳§ here means a drop in the pick-up signal in the current engine rotation. Furthermore, the drop of a pickup signal corresponds here to the time Tld in Fig. 2(b). When a fall of a pickup signal is detected, the process proceeds to step S8. In step 88, a counter value of the FRC is retrieved as a count Is value (Csn) detected in the current engine rotation as a count of the fall of a pickup signal. <Control Condition Judgment Processing> The processing of an ignition control is performed using the values of the respective vanes obtained by the above processing. Figure 9(b) shows the series of steps of the ignition control process. First, in step S10, the counter value (Crn) measured when the rising of the pickup signal is detected 141618.doc -20· 201016957 is measured in the current engine rotation minus the rise of a pickup signal is detected in the The counter value (Crn-i) that was counted when the engine was previously spinning. Then, it is judged whether or not the obtained value is equal to or larger than a control start set value (Te). In other words, it is determined whether the following relationship is satisfied: TeH] In this case, the value "Cm-Cm" corresponds to the rotational speed of the engine. When the value is large, the engine speed is lower. On the other hand, when the value is small, the engine speed is higher. The control start set value (Te) is set to limit the ignition control process. In general, the engine does not rotate in the opposite direction when the engine speed is above a predetermined speed. Based on this, in this embodiment, the useless ignition is prevented in the rotational speed section in which the engine normally does not rotate in the opposite direction. Specifically, the control start setting value (Te) corresponding to the rotational speed at the start of the ignition control is thereby set. The ignition control process is configured to be executed only when the value "crn-crn-" is equal to or greater than the control start set value Te. In other words, the ignition control process is configured to be executed only when the engine speed is lower than the rotation speed corresponding to the control start set value Te. For example, the control start set value Te corresponds to the " speed of the engine 6 rpm. When the engine is at a lower speed than the control start set value Te in the current engine rotation, the process proceeds to step su. In step su, it is determined whether or not the amount of decrease in the engine rotational speed is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Specifically, the counter value (Csn) when the drop in the number of juices is detected in the current engine rotation minus the count of the rise in a pickup signal is detected in the target 141618.doc -21· 201016957 The count II value (Cfn) when the engine is rotating. The result obtained corresponds to the engine speed of the engine in the period T1 of Fig. 2(b), i.e., the engine is in a predetermined crank time of the current engine rotation (i.e., when the protrusion 26 passes the pulse generator 27). Rotating speed. Further, the counter value counted by counting when the falling of the pickup signal is detected in the engine rotation is subtracted from the counter value when the rising of the seventh number is detected in the previous engine rotation (Crn-i The acquired value corresponds to the engine's rotational speed in the time period T2 of FIG. 2(b), ie, the predetermined crank time at which the engine is rotated by the previous engine (ie, the dog output 26 is passed through the pulse generator 27). The speed in time). Then, subtract the result of the subtraction in the rotation of the previous engine (ie, Ti=c^_Cr^ minus the subtraction result in the previous engine rotation (ie, T2=Csn iu. Then, the subtraction result will be determined). Whether (T1 - T 2) is equal to or greater than a reverse rotation detection & 疋 value (DN) «In other words, determine whether the following relationship is satisfied: DN<(Csn-Crn)-(Csn.1-crn.1) In step S11, a speed decrease amount from the engine's rotational speed in the previous engine rotation to the rotational speed in the target engine rotation is calculated. Then, it is determined whether the engine rotational speed decrease amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. In this case, Referring to Figures 2 to 5, the reverse rotation detection set value (DN) corresponds to one of the engine rotation speed reduction amounts for determining whether the engine is rotating in the opposite direction. In particular, the reverse rotation detection The set value (dn) corresponds to a threshold value indicated by a broken line_dotted line of Fig. 4. As described above, the reverse rotation detection set value (dn) is initially set to a unique value depending on the type of the engine. When the engine rotation speed drops by equal to or greater than a pre-1416 18.doc -22- 201016957 Ignition is prevented at the time of setting. Therefore, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the engine is rotated less than - times in the opposite direction (-the continuous reverse rotation angle is less than 36 degrees). Therefore, the vibration on the various components in the reverse rotation of the engine will be suppressed. Next, in step S13, the counter value D when the rise of a pickup signal is detected in the current engine rotation is reduced. Going to the counter value (Crn-O) counted when the rise of the pickup signal is detected in the previous engine rotation. Then, it is determined whether the obtained result is equal to or greater than a controlled gastric reset set value (Tr). To determine if the following relationship is satisfied:
Tr<Crn-Crn., 在該引擎曾在步驟SU及S12中停止旋轉然後再次開始旋 轉的狀況下執行步驟S13中的判定以便在該引擎之轉速超 過一預疋速度(即設定值Tr或更大)時重啟正常點火處理。 當步驟S13中的判定結果為「是」,處理前進至步驟μ#。 • 然後,點火被允許於一初步設置時間執行。 [本實施例之有利功效] (a)根據本發明,該引擎之反向旋轉可基於從先前引擎旋 轉到目刚引擎旋轉的引擎旋轉速度下降量而被預測。當該 引擎之反向旋轉被預測到時,點火被避免於目前引擎旋轉 中發生。利用該構成為,在多個組件上抑制由該引擎之反 向旋轉而產生震動係可行的,同時該引擎之連續反向旋轉 角度可被控制為較小。此外,該引擎在目前引擊旋轉(即 目前衝程循環)中的轉速及在先前引擎旋轉(即緊接在該目 141618.doc •23· 201016957 前衝程循環之前的衝程循環)中的轉速可被比較。利用該 構成為,控制處理將係簡單的。 ()根據本發明’該引擎之轉速只使用__個用於檢測引 擎旋轉速度下降量的突出物而被檢測。因&,用於檢測該 引擎轉速的組件係簡單的。同時’此處無需高速控制處 理。換言之,可採用簡單的控制處理。Tr<Crn-Crn., in the case where the engine has stopped rotating in steps SU and S12 and then starts rotating again, the determination in step S13 is performed so that the engine speed exceeds a predetermined speed (i.e., set value Tr or more). Large) restarts normal ignition processing. When the decision result in the step S13 is "YES", the processing proceeds to the step μ#. • Then, ignition is allowed to be performed at a preliminary setup time. [Advantageous Effects of the Present Embodiment] (a) According to the present invention, the reverse rotation of the engine can be predicted based on the amount of decrease in the engine rotation speed from the previous engine rotation to the rotation of the engine. When the reverse rotation of the engine is predicted, ignition is prevented from occurring in the current engine rotation. With this configuration, it is possible to suppress the vibration generated by the reverse rotation of the engine on a plurality of components, and the continuous reverse rotation angle of the engine can be controlled to be small. In addition, the engine's speed in the current slamming rotation (ie, the current stroke cycle) and the rpm in the previous engine rotation (ie, the stroke cycle immediately before the 141618.doc •23·201016957 pre-stroke cycle) can be Comparison. With this configuration, the control process will be simple. () According to the present invention, the rotational speed of the engine is detected using only __ protrusions for detecting the amount of decrease in the rotational speed of the engine. Because &, the components used to detect the engine speed are simple. At the same time, no high-speed control is required here. In other words, a simple control process can be employed.
⑷根據本發明’該點火控制在該引擎通常不在相反方向 中旋轉的轉速區間中受限。因此,可靠執行-必要點火而 不執行一無用控制處理係可行的。(4) According to the present invention, the ignition control is limited in a rotational speed section in which the engine normally does not rotate in the opposite direction. Therefore, reliable execution - necessary ignition without performing a useless control process is feasible.
W在-種四衝程循環引擎的一個汽缸中,曲柄軸旋轉 兩次時點火執行一次。另一方面,在一種多缸引擎中,該 等汽缸的點火時間彼此不同。換言之,在曲柄轴旋轉兩次 時執行複數次點火。因此,該曲柄軸的旋轉力較大。在一 單汽缸4衝程引擎中,在該曲柄轴旋轉兩次時旋轉力藉由 爆炸而產生一次。因此,緊接在低轉速區間中的點火之 前,該單汽缸4衝程引擎之曲柄軸的旋轉力小於多汽缸引 擎之曲柄軸旋轉力。換言之,該單汽缸4衝程引擎具有更 大的機率在低轉速區間中以相反方向旋轉。因此,將本發 明應用于單汽缸4衝程引擎係有效地。 [其他示範實施例] (a)在前述實施例中,一突出物被提供於該外轉子永磁發 電機的轉子中。該引擎之轉速被構成為以便藉由檢測該突 出物而獲取。然而,一種具有複數個突出物的轉子亦可被 使用。在這種情況下,藉由經由檢測該等複數個突出物中 141618.doc -24· 201016957 似有 以檢 一種 任意一個的通過而獲取引擎轉速亦能到達本發明的相 利效果’即控制處理的簡便性。 W在前述實施例中,該自由運行計數器被構成為 測該引擎之轉速。然而,可使用任何適當的組 檢測引擎轉速的組件。In one cylinder of a four-stroke cycle engine, the ignition is performed once when the crankshaft is rotated twice. On the other hand, in a multi-cylinder engine, the ignition timings of the cylinders are different from each other. In other words, a plurality of ignitions are performed while the crankshaft is rotated twice. Therefore, the crankshaft has a large rotational force. In a single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, the rotational force is generated once by the explosion when the crankshaft is rotated twice. Therefore, the rotational force of the crankshaft of the single-cylinder 4-stroke engine is less than the crankshaft rotational force of the multi-cylinder engine immediately before the ignition in the low-speed range. In other words, the single cylinder 4-stroke engine has a greater probability of rotating in the opposite direction in the low speed range. Therefore, the present invention is effectively applied to a single-cylinder 4-stroke engine system. [Other exemplary embodiments] (a) In the foregoing embodiment, a projection is provided in the rotor of the outer rotor permanent magnet generator. The rotational speed of the engine is configured to be acquired by detecting the projection. However, a rotor having a plurality of protrusions can also be used.

Simplicity. In the foregoing embodiment, the free running counter is configured to measure the rotational speed of the engine. However, any suitable set of components that detect engine speed can be used.

However, the ignition timing is not limited to this. For example, the ignition may be set to be performed after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after detecting the end edge of the rotation direction of the protrusion. Alternatively, the ignition may be set to be performed when the crankshaft is rotated by a predetermined angle after detecting the east edge of the rotation direction of the projection.
