  • Patent number: 10995691
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling knocking in an internal combustion engine. A knock signal of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine is measured by a knock sensor and from that, a knock feature is generated. The knock feature is compared to a reference level in order to classify a combustion as a knocking or non-knocking combustion. The reference level is formed in consideration of a plurality of corrected knock features, the corrected knock features being formed from the knock features by determining map values from a program map as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine and linking them additively, or by carrying out a low-pass filtering, or by determining map values from a program map as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine and linking them additively and carrying out a low-pass filtering.

  • Patent number: 10920686
    Abstract: A method and a device for knock control of an internal combustion engine, a knock signal of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine being measured by a knock sensor and, on the basis thereof, a knock intensity is generated. The knock intensity is compared to a reference level in order to classify a combustion as a knocking or non-knocking combustion. Moreover, an arrangement is provided, which takes the level of the knock intensity into account for the determination of the reference level.

  • Patent number: 10508963
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for knock recognition of an internal combustion engine, which device Fourier-transforms, weights in frequency-dependent fashion, and sums a signal of a knock sensor in order to produce a first knock signal. Here, from a multiplicity of first knock signals, a concentration point of the multiplicity of the first knock signals is determined, and a first offset value is subtracted from the first knock signal in order to form a second knock signal, the first offset value being ascertained from the concentration point of the multiplicity of the first knock signals, and a second knock signal that has a value below zero being set to the value zero. The further-processed second knock signal is then evaluated as knocking or non-knocking.

  • Patent number: 10450971
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a combustion of an internal combustion engine are provided, including an arrangement, which generates a signal for the intensity of the combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine from a sensor signal of the internal combustion engine. The intensity is compared to a reference level, which was formed from intensities of preceding combustions in the combustion chamber by moving average calculation. An irregular combustion is detected if the intensity exceeds the reference level in a predetermined manner, and then at least one operating parameter of the internal combustion engine is shifted in the direction of an avoidance of the irregular combustion. Following an irregular combustion, the averaging for forming the reference level is accelerated for a specified duration.

  • Patent number: 9938918
    Abstract: A method for evaluating abnormal combustion events of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle by regression calculation of a physical reference variable, in which method a recognition variable of the abnormal combustion event is calculated from a measured sensor signal. In a method with which abnormal combustion processes of the internal combustion engine can be reliably recognized and classified at all operating points, a stepwise system is used for regression calculation of the recognition variable, in which system at least one reference variable that corresponds to a measured reference variable of the sensor signal is calculated from the sensor signal.
