Definitions

  • a device for automatically controlling a by-pass electro-valve of a catalytic muffler comprising three inlet stages, the first inlet stage is responsive to the speed or number of engine revolutions, the second inlet stage is responsive to the throttle position and includes a retarding circuit and store, and the third inlet stage is responsive to the temperature of the catalyst and includes means for comparing the temperature of the catalyst with a maximum allowable temperature (T and a predetermined running temperature (T).
  • T maximum allowable temperature
  • T predetermined running temperature
  • the three inlet stages are electrically coupled to an outlet stage which includes a timer for producing a pulse of predetermined duration.
  • the present invention relates to a device for the automatic control of catalytic mufflers like the ones used at present time in order to reduce the outlet of pollutants in exhausts of motor vehicles having a controlled ignition.
  • a device for the automatic control of catalytic mufflers like the ones used at present time in order to reduce the outlet of pollutants in exhausts of motor vehicles having a controlled ignition.
  • it is suitable to cut out therein the flow of the gases in those cases in which said flow would result particularly damaging or useless, i.e., when the motor presents already a low outlet of pollutants, this being the case, e.g., at high speeds outside inhabited places, and when a too high temperature occurs in the catalyst due to running defects.
  • the cutting out of the gas flow through the catalytic muffler is generally obtained by-passing the muffler through a by-pass valve operated by a control device.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a control device allowing the automatic opening of the by-pass valve once reached determined conditions of temperature, speed or number of revolutions and throttle opening.
  • Said device according to the invention comprises three stages responsive to the vehicle speed or number of revolutions of the engine, to the opening degree of the throttle and to the catalyst temperature respectively, and an outlet stage which, controlled by said inlet stages, operates a by-pass valve.
  • the stage responsive to the opening degree of the throttle delivers a by-pass valve opening signal to the outlet stage only if the throttle opening keeps higher than a certain value for a determined time, this being the case, e.g., for highway runnings; the catalytic muffler is therefore switched on, as necessary, for full and shorttimed accellerations (city traffic).
  • the stage responsive to the catalyst temperature is responsive both to the temperature gradient as to the time (derivative action), so as to intervene before a destructive temperature T is reached, and to the integral as to the time of the temperature-rise over the prefixed temperature T,, so as to prevent the permanence of temperatures which, even if not destructive, will age rapidly the catalyst.
  • Summing up the device according to the present invention keeps automatically opened the by-pass valve, cutting out thereby the gas flow through the catalytic muffler, in the following cases:
  • a prefixed value e.g., 50 km/h in third gear
  • the outlet stage of the control device is realized so as to prevent the continuous opening and closing of the by-pass valve when the logical valve opening signals, coming from the inlet stages, fluctuate around limit values of intervention.
  • This is practically obtained by exciting with an outlet signal of a gate circuit OR, at the inlet of which there is convergence of the logical signals coming from the other inlet stages, a retarding logic consisting of a timer delivering a pulse of controlled duration, and sending the outlet signal of said gate circuit OR and the outlet signal of said timer to the inlet of another gate circuit OR whose outlet controls directly the by-pass valve.
  • the whole automatic control device according to the invention may be fed by the vehicle battery or by the network for roller tests.
  • FIG. 1 shows schematically in a block diagramm the by-pass of a catalytic muffler through an electro-valve automatically controlled by a control electromechanical device according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows in a block diagramm the circuit schema of the control electro-mechanical device of FIG. 1 according to the invention.
  • 1 indicates the catalytic muffler to be protected
  • 2 indicates the by-pass electro-' valve
  • 3 the automatic control device.
  • Said automatic control device 3 comprises according to the in vention three inlet stages responsive to the vehicle speed or the number of engine revolutions, to the throttle opening degree and to the catalyst temperature of the catalytic muffler 1 respectively, and an outlet stage reached by the logical signals coming from said inlet stages and which controls the by-pass valve 2.
  • the inlet stage responsive to the vehicle speed or the number of engine revolutions comprises (see FIG. 2) a speedometer dynamo 4 or a device indicating the number of the engine revolutions, which delivers a voltage proportional to the engine speed or number of revolutions, this voltage being compared in node 5 with a reference voltage set up by a potentiometer 6. The difference between the two said voltages operates then a speed level discriminator 7 whose outlet is connected with the OR" gate circuit 8 of the outlet stage.
  • the inlet stage responsive to the throttle opening degree comprises a level discriminator 9 at the inlet of which one applies the difference between the voltage, signal proportional to the position of throttle 10, obtained, e.g., by means of a potentiometer whose slider is rigidly connected with the throttle, and the reference voltage set up through potentiometer 11.
  • This discriminator outlet signal is not however directly sent to OR gate circuit 8 of the outlet stage, but is applied at the same time to a retarding circuit 12, delivering a pulse after a prefixed period of time, and to an AND type circuit 13 reached too by the retarding pulse.
  • the AND circuit outlet excites then a store 14 whose outlet is directly connected with said OR gate circuit of the outlet stage.
  • store 14 will deliver to the outlet stage a valve opening signal not when there is a signal at the outlet of discriminator 9, i.e., when the throttle opening exceeds a certain prefixed level, but only when the throttle opening keeps higher than said level for a period of time at least corresponding to the delay time of retarding circuit 12.
  • AND gate circuit 13 opens and excites store 14 only when there are at its inlet both signals and therefore, even if there is the outlet signal of discriminator 9 but its duration is lower than the one required by retarding circuit 12 to give its pulse, AND circuit 13 does not open. It is possible in this way to prevent that by-pass valve 2 opens in case of full accellerations having a short duration, e.g., ac-
  • indicator 16 by means of which it is possible to visualize the value of the speed or of the number of engine revolutions and the throttle opening degree.
  • the third inlet stage responsive to the catalyst temperature of catalytic muffler l is, on the contrary, constituted by a thermoelement 17 whose voltage signal, proportional to said temperature, is amplified by means of operational amplifier l8 and visualized by indicating device 19.
  • the outlet signal of amplifier 18 is then differentiated by means of differentiating RC circuit, comprising resistance 20 and capacitor21, and then compared in node 22 with the reference signal to be prefixed on pretentiometer 23 and corresonding to the limit destructive temperature T e.g., 800C.
  • the resulting difference signal is then sent to a level discriminator 24 whose outlet is connected with said OR gate I circuit of the outlet stage.
  • the temperature-rise signal resulting in node 25 is then sent, at the same time, to a terminal of a relay 27 and to the inlet of a mean level discriminator 28 whose outlet, exciting the above mentioned relay, switches on the same signal on the outlet of an integrator 29 which, integrating this temperature-rise signal, will take a time proportional to the magnitude of this signal for reaching the integral threshold level T predetermined by potentiometer 30.
  • the reaching of the integral threshold limit T this meaning that the temperature-rise as to the running temperature lasts for a certain period of time and is therefore harmful for the catalyst of the catalytic muffler, is detected by level discriminator 31 which excites store 32 whose outlet is connected with said OR gate circuit 8 of the outlet stage.
  • Said store 32 is like and has the same function of store 14 already cited and, like the latter, is set to zero by the outlet signal of discriminator 28 inverted by inverter 33.
  • the outlet stage of the device comprises the already cited OR gate circuit 8 reached by the logical valve opening signals coming from the inlet stages, whose outlet excites a timer 34 capable of delivering a pulse of duration to be prefixed. Said duration-prefixed pulse, produced by timer 34 once excited, is sent together with the outlet signal of OR gate circuit 8 to the inlet of another OR" gate circuit 35 whose outlet 36 operates directly bypass electro-valve 2.
  • by-pass valve 2 keeps opened not only when there is a single logical signal at the inlet of OR gate circuit 8, but keeps opened even if said logical signal disappears because, e.g., of its fluctuation around its limit value of intervention. ln fact, timer 34, once excited, keeps on delivering a valve opening signal for the whole period of time therein prefixed.
