Definitions

  • ABSTRACT A circuit for recognizing and providing warm-up enrichment fuel compensation for an electronic fuel control system is described herein.
  • the circuit is adapted to recognize and respond to an engine operating parameter indicative of engine operation at an engine temperature less than the normal operating temperature and to increase the duration of the fuel injection command pulse generated by the main electronic fuel control system.
  • the present invention contemplates altering the shape of the generated wave shape to delay its excursion through the threshold value.
  • FIGURE 3 CIRCUIT FOR PROVIDING ELECTRONIC WARM-UP ENRICHMENT FUEL COMPENSATION WHICH IS INDEPENDENT OF INTAKE MANIFOLD PRESSURE IN AN ELECTRONIC FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM BACKGROUND or THE INVENTION 1.
  • the present invention is related to the field of elec tronic fuel control systems for internal combustion engines and particularly to that portion of the abovedescribed field which is concerned with the provision of accurately metered quantities of fuel during transient operating conditions of an internal combustion engine.
  • the present invention is concerned with that portion of the above-noted field which provides increased quantities of fuel for consumption by the engine when it is operating at a temperature under the normal operating temperature.
  • warm-up enrichment quantities of fuel may be provided through an electronic fuel control system by prolonging the unstable period of a monostable multivibrator in response to an engine temperature sensitive element.
  • those systems which make use of the forenoted technique for providing warm-up enrichment are systems which also employ sequentially energized monostable multivibrators in which the unstable period of the second multivibrator in the sequence is a function of the unstable period of the first multivibrator in the sequence as well as the engine temperature.
  • the enrichment quantities of fuel provided thereunder become a complex function of the instantaneous engine temperature as well as the engine parameter which controls the unstable time period of the first monostable multivibrator in the sequence.
  • the enrichment factor is defined as the fuel injection command pulse duration at cold (that is, below normal) temperatures divided by the fuel injection command pulse duration at normal engine operating temperature
  • the enrichment factor of prior art systems may be shown to be an undesirable decreasing function of intake manifold pressure.
  • the desirable enrichment factor is a value which varies as a function of temperature and which is not a decreasing function of manifold pressure.
  • the present invention provides a circuit which recognizes engine operation at a temperature less than the normal engine operating temperature and which thereafter controllably alters the generation of the timed pulse which is used to control the fuel delivery sequence.
  • the invention further contemplates circuits which are capable of automatically recognizing the extent to which the engine operating temperature is below the normal operating temperature and thereafter lengthening the timed pulse in order to provide a correctly lengthened fuel delivery factor in response to the actual engine operating temperature.
  • the present invention may be characterized by a circuit which is responsive to engine temperature and which is operative to controllably vary at least one aspect of the generated wave shape so as to controllably affect the time during which said generated wave shape remains below the established threshold level.
  • the present invention contemplates the use of the electronic circuitry to selectively control the output of a current source which charges a timing capacitor to variably selectively control the voltage appearing across the timing capacitor as a function of engine operating temperature.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in diagramatic circuit form, an electronic fuel control system for an internal combustion engine with which the present invention is of utility.
  • FIG. 2 shows, in a block diagram, one form of an electronic control unit for use in the system of FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows an electronic circuit realization according to FIG. 2 and including the circuitry of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 shows a graph of voltage waveforms generated by the circuit of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 1 an electronic fuel control system is shown in schematic form.
  • the system is comprised of a main computing means or electronic control unit 10, a manifold pressure sensor 12, a temperature sensor 14, an input timing means 16 and various other sensors denoted as 18.
  • the manifold pressure sensor 12 and the associated other sensors 18 are illustrated mounted on throttle body 20 but it will be understood that other mounting locations are possible.
  • the output of the computing means is coupled to an electromagnetic injector valve member 22 mounted in intake manifold 24 and arranged to provide fuel from tank 26 via pumping means 28 and suitable fuel conduits 30 for delivery to a combustion'cylinder 32 of but one of several forms of an internal combustion engine otherwise not shown.
  • computing means 10 may control an injector valve means comprised of one or more injector valve members 22 arranged to be actuated singly or in groups of varying numbers in a sequential fashion as well as simultaneously.
  • the computing means 10 is shown as energized by battery 36 which could be a vehicle battery and/or battery charging system as well as a separate battery.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the computing means 10 in a nonparticulated manner as applied to a fuel system utilizing two-group injection.
  • a switching device 38 capable of producing alternating output signals and receiving as input a signal or signals representative of engine crank angle as from sensor 16.
  • sensor 16 could be a singlelobed cam, driven by the engine and alternately opening and closing a pair of contacts.
  • the switching device 38 will be described and discussed as a flip-flop since the flip-flop is known to produce a substantially constant level of output at one output location and zero level at the other output location in response to a triggering signal which need only be a spike input as illustrated by traces 1 and 2 but may also be of longer duration and a flip-flop may be readily made insensitive to other types of signals. Signals received on the nontriggering input will, of course, have no effect on a flip-flop.
  • Outputs 40 and 42 are connected to the input of unit 50 and are also connected to the inputs of a pair of AND gates with output 40 being connected to one input of AND gate 46 and output 42 being connected to one input of AND gate 48.
  • Unit 50 is illustrated as receiving as its control input a signal from the pressure sensor 12 indicative of an engine operating condition and, therefore, of the engine 7 fuel requirement.
  • Sensor 12 is here shown coupled to a manifold lead or runner 52. The actual location of sensor 12 will depend upon the dynamic characteristics of the intake manifold and throttle body.
  • Unit 50 also receives signals from temperature sensor 14 and it will be understood that use of these other sensory inputs, though not illustrated, is contemplated. However, for the sake of simplification the additional control inputs have not been shown.
  • the output of the unit 50 is connected to a second input of each AND gate 46 and 48.
  • the output of AND gate 46 is connected to amplifier 56 which, in turn, supplies controlling current to the first injector group.
  • AND gate 48 is connected to amplifier 58 which supplies controlling current to the second injector group.
  • an output signal from the flip-flop 38 will occur at one output location to the exclusion of the other. This signal will then appear at one input of only one AND gate of only one amplifier.
  • This signal selectively designates an injector or injector group for imminent injection.
  • the output signal of the flip-flop 38 is at output location 40 so that the signal also appears at one input of AND gate 46.
  • the signal from the output 40 of the flip-flop 38 also appears at the gate 44 where, assuming the flip-flop 38 has just changed state, a short duration signal is passed to the unit 50.
  • Unit 50 is operative to produce an output during the passage of a predeterminable amount of I time. This time is determined by the values of the sensory inputs applied to unit 50.
  • the output of the unit 50 is providing a fullstrength output signal. This signal is applied to one input of each of the AND gates 46 and 48. Because of the intrinsic nature of AND gates, an output signal is produced only while an input signal is being applied to each and every input. This then dictates that AND gate 46 will produce an output to be amplified by amplifier 56 to open the first injector group since it is receiving an injector selection command directly from the flipflop 38 and an injector control command from the unit 50. At the end of the time delay period unit 50 produces a zero level signal so that the injection control command output signal is removed from the input to the AND gate 46 and the output of the AND gate 46 goes to zero, thereby allowing the first injector group to close.
  • a metered amount of fuel under pressure is injected'by the first injector group.
  • suitable amplifiers and- /or inverters may be used to match obtainable signals with desired or necessary circuit responses.
  • a waveshape generating circuit means is comprised of a pair of current sources 101, 102 which are alternately applied to a pair of capacitors 103, 104 by a switching network 105 receiving the triggering signals 40, 42.
  • the rate at which the capacitors 103, 104 are initially charged and are discharged is controlled by network 106 also receiving the triggering signals 40, 42.
  • Threshold establishing circuit means 107 samples the highest voltages appearing across capacitors 103, 104 and compares this value with the level established by the pressure sensor means signal.
  • the current source 101 is comprised of transistor 108 whose base is connected to the junction of a pair of voltage dividing resistors 110, 111 and whose emitter is connected to resistor 112.
  • the resistors 111 and 112 are connected to a source of potential identified as 13+ and resistor 110 goes to ground.
  • Current source 102 is similarly comprised of a transistor 109 whose base is coupled to the junction of voltage divider resistors 114, 115 through diode 116.
  • the emitter of transistor 109 is connected to resistor 113 which is also connected to the Br-lsource. This arrangement is operative to establish a known level of current flow in the collectors of transistors 108, 109 respectively.
  • the collector of transistor 108 is then connected in a parallel fashion to the collectors of a pair of transistors 131,
  • the collector of transistor 109 is con- I nected in parallel to the collectors of a pair of transistors 133, 134.
  • the bases of transistors 13] and 134 are connected together through resistances 141, 142 while the bases of transistors 132, 133 are connected by way of resistances 143, 144.
  • the junction of resistances 141, 142 is arranged to receive the trigger signals as at 40 while the junction of resistances 143, 144 is arranged to receive the trigger signals as at 42.
  • the emitters of transistors 131 and 133 are connected to capacitor 103 while the emitters of transistors 132 and 134 are connected to capacitor 104.
  • This circuit is then arranged to provide the current flow from current source 101 through transistor 131 to capacitor 103 and the current from source 102 through transistor 134 to capacitor 104 whenever a high voltage signal is present on lead 40 and a low voltage signal is present on lead 42. Whenever a low voltage signal is present on lead 40 and a high voltage signal is present on lead 42, the current from source 101 will flow through transistor 132 to capacitor 104, while the current from source 102 flows through transistor 133 to capacitor 103.
  • Network 106 is comprised of first, second, third, and fourth control transistors, numbers 135, 136, 137, and 138, respectively, a plurality of voltage level establishing resistor pairs 139, 140, and a plurality of voltage level establishing diode means 145 through 150.
  • Reset means 151, and additional voltage level establishing diodes 152, 153, are also illustrated.
  • Change of state of the flip-flop 38, as illustrated in FIG. 2 will reverse the high-low signal relationship appearing on triggering leads 40, 42, and the appearance ofa high signal on one gate, for instance lead 40, will result in the generation of a reset pulse from reset means 151 which can be arranged to be a relatively high level signal.
  • reset means 151 may be a monostable multivibrator or other circuit arranged to generate a high level signal for a predetermined period of time upon the receipt of a high level triggering signal.
  • junction 154 will be at a relatively high level and, through diode means 147, transistor 138 will be in conduction.
  • transistor 137 having its emitter connected to capacitor 103 to be in conduction so that the voltage then appearing across capacitor 103 will be dumped as a current flow to ground through the conducting transistors 137, 138.
  • This voltage dump will continue until the voltage appearing across capacitor 103 reaches a low level determined by the number of pn junctions between capacitor 103 and ground. During this time interval, current flow from current source 101 through transistor 131 will be dumped to the extent that it would represent excess voltage across capacitor 103.
  • the voltage at junction 154 will drop and, due to the plurality of diodes in diode means 147, will be insufficient to maintain transistor 138 in conduction. This will cause transistor 138 and in turn transistor 137 to switch off, thereby terminating the voltage dump of capacitor 103 and also permitting the current flow from current source 101 to increase the voltage level across capacitor 103.
  • the time interval of the reset pulse 151 would correspond to the interval A-B on graph 90, while the time interval B-C would represent the period during which capacitor 103 is charged by the current source 101.
  • the level indicated by the C-D line of graph represents a level when the charge across capacitor 103 is sufficiently high relative to the voltage level established by the voltage divider effects of resistors 110, 111, that the base-collector junction of transistor 108 is reverse biased, and the transistor begins to turn off.
  • the operation of network 106 with regard to the receipt of a high level signal on triggering lead 42 is substantially the same as described hereinabove in view of the fact that the network 106 is comprised of two substantially identical halves, one of which has been described in detail herein.
  • capacitor 103 By suitably selecting the resistive values along with maintaining a relatively small capacitor value of capacitor 103, it can be arranged that the discharge of capacitor 103 down to level represented by the A-B portion of graph 90 in FIG. 4 can occur in a very brief time scale relative to the duration of a triggering pulse.
  • the threshold establishing circuit 107 receives a signal indicative of the manifold pressure at and this signal is applied to the base of transistor 172.
  • the base of transistor 171 receives a voltage signal from the capacitor 103, or 104 having the highest accumulated charge via diode 161 or diode 162.
  • 172 are coupled together, one of these transistors will be in conduction depending upon which has a base residing at a higher voltage value.
  • transistor 171 When the value appearing on circuit lead 66 exceeds the value appearing on circuit input 170, transistor 171 will go into conduction and transistor 172 will drop out of conduction. Termination of conduction of transistor 172 will consequently terminate conduction of transistor 173.
  • transistor 173 While transistor 172 was conducting, transistor 173 was also conducting and a relatively high voltage signal was present at circuit location 174 due to the voltage divider action of resistors 182, 183. However, termination of conduction of transistor 173 will result in a substantially zero or ground level signal appearing at circuit location 174 due to the lack of current flow through the resistors 182, 183.
  • This output signal may be applied to the OR gates 46, 48 in the FIG. 2 embodiment to constitute an injection command signal.
  • the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 3 is comprised of a circuit means for variably controlling the current I generated by the current generating means 102.
  • .this comprises means for variably modifying the bias voltage applied to the base of transistor 109.
  • this is comprised of a further resistive voltage divider network including the temperature sensor 14 and resistance 163 arranged in parallel with the voltage divider network comprised of resistors 114, 115, and communicating with the base of transistor 109 through a further diode 160 whose cathode is connected to the cathode of diode 116 and whose anode is connected to the junction point 164 of the further voltage divider network.
  • the temperature sensor is illustrated as a thermistor and other types of temperature sensor are known.
  • transistor 109 is illustrated as a pnp transistor whose emitter is connected through resistance 113 to the Brlvoltage source.
  • the thermistor 14 is connected to ground and such devices are known to exhibit a higher resistance at lower temperatures. As so connected, decreasing temperature will cause the voltage appearing at junction 164 to increase so as to increase the voltage appearing at the base of transistor 109. Since the voltage at the emitter of transistor 109 will be only slightly more positive than the voltage present in the base of the transistor, the current flow through resistance 113 and consequently the output current of the current source 102 will vary inversely as the magnitude of the voltage present at the base of transistor 109. Thus, as this voltage increases due to a decrease in temperature the current output of transistor 109 will decrease.
  • resistive voltage divider branch comprised of resistances 114 and 115 communicated to the base of transistor 109 through diode 116 will be operative to establish a minimum value below which the voltageat the base of transistor 109 will be prevented from going.

  • the voltage waveshape 96 is essentially the same as the voltage waveshape 90 during the time interval A to D. However, from the time D until the limiting value is reached five various voltage slopes are illustrated and are denoted as a through e. These correspond to some of the slopes obtainable through the use of the present invention for varying operating temperatures. Slope e may represent the slope obtained by the lowest operating temperature while the slope a represents the slope obtained at normal operating temperature, as defined by the voltage divider resistances 114, 115, and the slopes b, c, and d represent various intermediate levels.
