Patent number: 10227940Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a control device for an engine that enables precise control of the equivalence ratio. The system from the fuel injection amount to the output from a LAF sensor is modeled as an injection amount-sensor output model by means of a model equation containing model parameters and a lag coefficient. The system from the equivalence ratio to the LAF sensor output is modeled as a port equivalence ratio-sensor output model by means of a model equation containing the lag coefficient. The control device is equipped with: a feedback-use identifier that successively identifies values for the model parameters; a LAF lag compensation-use identifier that successively identifies values for the lag coefficient; and a stoichiometric driving mode controller that determines the value of a fuel injection amount.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., DELPHI INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS LUXEMBOURG S.A.R.L.Inventors: Yuji Yasui, Hideki Matsunaga, Hans Hardam, Toshiharu Takahashi, Masatoshi Yamada, Hiroshi Uike

Patent number: 9657673Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide an exhaust purification system that is capable of purifying exhaust gas during both lean and stoichiometric driving. The exhaust purification system is equipped with: a feedback-use identifier, which identifies parameter values such that the error between the output value from a LAF sensor and the estimated value for the LAF sensor output as obtained from a model equation is minimized; and a stoichiometric driving mode controller. The controller performs feedback control and thereby determines the fuel injection amount such that in the stoichiometric driving mode the equivalence ratio value as calculated from the parameters reaches a target value which is set such that a three-way purification reaction occurs in an under-engine catalyst. The identifier identifies the model parameters before feedback control is initiated by the controller.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignees: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD., DELPHI INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS LUXEMBOURG S.A.R.L.Inventors: Yuji Yasui, Hideki Matsunaga, Hans Hardam, Toshiharu Takahashi, Masatoshi Yamada, Hiroshi Uike

Patent number: 5009211Abstract: A fuel injection controlling device for a two-cycle engine includes an electronic fuel injection system having a fuel injection quantity determining device for determining a fuel injection amount in response to rotational speed and throttle opening of the engine. At engine start, the controlling device, in response to operation of an engine kick starter, sequentially decreases starting fuel amount as the number of actuations of the kick starter increases. Fuel injection amount is also decreased in response to increasing engine temperature.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 1990Date of Patent: April 23, 1991Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kazumitsu Kushida, Osamu Kudou, Sumitaka Ogawa, Hiroshi Uike
