Description
- (a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a system for identifying a cylinder in an engine, and more particularly, to a system that is able to identify a cylinder in a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine without the use of a sensor mounted on a distributor, which is connected to a camshaft.
- (b) Description of the Related Art
- The identification of a cylinder in an engine is used in controlling ignition timing and is typically performed by sensors. That is, with reference to FIG. 1, there is mounted an
internal target wheel 11 of adistributor 10 connected to a crankshaft, and acrank angle sensor 12 for detecting a crank angle and apiston position sensor 13 for detecting a top dead center of a piston are mounted to read theinternal target wheel 11. Using outputs of thesensors - In another system used to identify a cylinder of an engine, with reference to FIG. 2, a
target wheel 21 is mounted to acrankshaft 20 and acrank angle sensor 22 for detecting a crank angle is mounted to read thetarget wheel 21. Also, atarget wheel 24 is mounted on acamshaft 23 and apiston position sensor 25 is mounted to read thetarget wheel 24. Using outputs of thesensors - With above conventional systems for identifying cylinders in order to control ignition timing, a plurality of sensors are mounted on each crankshaft to detect a cylinder and a crank angle. Accordingly, the engine is made increasingly complex and the amount of space used by the required parts is increased. This decreases productivity and increases the overall costs of the vehicle.
- The present invention has been made in an effort to solve the above problems.
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a system in which engine rpm are detected according to whether or not ignition occurs according to the flow of an electric current at a TDC of a first cylinder. Further, the point of an abrupt increase in engine rpm is detected to determine a compression stroke of the first cylinder, thereby enabling the identification of the cylinders without the use of sensors
- To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a system for identifying a cylinder in an engine comprising means for applying an electric current every time a first cylinder of a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine is at a top dead center; means for detecting engine rpm when the current is applied; and control means for determining an exhaust stroke when the engine rpm do not increase, and for determining a compression stroke when the engine rpm abruptly increase, and sequentially providing ignition for a second cylinder and a third cylinder to operate the engine.
- According to another aspect, the present invention provides a method for identifying a cylinder in an engine, comprising the steps of applying an electric current every time a first cylinder of a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine is at a top dead center; detecting engine rpm when the electric current is applied; and determining a type of a stroke of the engine according to the detected engine rpm.
- When the engine rpm do not increase, the type of the stroke is determined as an exhaust stroke, and when the engine rpm abruptly increase, the type of the stroke is determined as a compression stroke.
- When the type of the stroke is determined as a compression stroke, the method further comprises the step of sequentially providing ignition for a second cylinder and a third cylinder to operate the engine.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of the specification, illustrate an embodiment of the invention, and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention:
- FIG. 1 is an internal front view of a distributor to which there are mounted conventional sensors for identifying a cylinder;
- FIG. 2 is a front view of a crankshaft to which there are mounted conventional sensors for identifying a cylinder;
- FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a system for identifying a cylinder in an engine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
- FIG. 4 is a flow chart of operations of the system of FIG. 3; and
- FIG. 5 is a timing chart of the system of FIG. 3.
- Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a system for identifying a cylinder in an engine according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- The system includes a
distributor 30 for supplying a high-voltage current from a secondary coil of an ignition coil to each cylinder of a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke engine; arotor 31 rotating together with a terminal, the terminal transmitting the high-voltage current to each cylinder; a sensor 32 for detecting rpm of therotor 31; and anelectronic control unit 33 for identifying a cylinder by output of the sensor 32. - The
rotor 31 rotates to be positioned at different locations corresponding to a first cylinder or between the second and third cylinders. When first starting the engine, it can not be known if the first cylinder is at the end of the compression stroke or the end of the exhaust stroke since there is no camshaft sensor. In order to distinguish between the end of the exhaust stroke and end of the compression stroke, a secondary electric power of the ignition coil is applied during each stroke such that if therotor 31 is at the compression stroke, current flows to ignition plugs to realize ignition, and if at the exhaust stroke, current does not flow to the ignition plugs. - Hence, with reference also to FIGS. 4 and 5, when the first cylinder is at the top dead center (TDC), the secondary electric power of the ignition coil is applied to the ignition coil continuously for every stroke in step S40. At this time, if the
rotor 31 is in the compression stroke, ignition is realized, but if therotor 31 is not in the compression stroke, ignition is not realized. The electronic control unit 34 determines if ignition has occurred for the first cylinder in step S41. - If ignition has not occurred for the first cylinder, the electronic control unit34 determines that the
rotor 31 is in the exhaust stroke, while if ignition has occurred for the first cylinder, the electronic control unit 34 determines that therotor 31 is in the compression stroke. At this time, engine rpm are detected through the sensor 32 when the first cylinder is at the TDC in step S42. - Subsequently, while engine rpm are being detected, the electronic control unit34 determines a moment at which engine rpm abruptly increase in step S43. At the moment where engine rpm abruptly increase, the electronic control unit 34 determines that the first cylinder is at the compression stroke in step S44.
- Further, starting from the moment where the electronic control unit34 determines the first cylinder is at the compression stroke, ignition for the second cylinder then for the third cylinder is performed, thereby operating the engine in step S45.
- In the present invention described above, engine rpm are detected according to whether or not ignition occurs according to the flow of current at the TDC of the first cylinder. Further, the point of an abrupt increase in engine rpm is detected to determine the compression stroke of the first cylinder, thereby enabling the identification of the cylinders without the use of sensors.
- Although preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail hereinabove, it should be clearly understood that many variations and/or modifications of the basic inventive concepts herein taught which may appear to those skilled in the present art will still fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined in the appended claims.
