  • Patent number: 7246603
    Abstract: A control unit calculates a quantity of air that is taken into an engine from an output current from an air flow meter that is located downstream from a throttle valve. The control unit then determines the quantity of fuel to be injected for this quantity of air. A value obtained by multiplying by two an integral value of the quantity of air from the rise point of the quantity of air until the quantity of air reaches a peak value is used for calculating the injection quantity. This value is taken as the total integrated air intake quantity of an intake stroke, and this is then divided by a predetermined air-fuel ratio so as to provide the quantity of fuel to be injected.

  • Patent number: 7191764
    Abstract: A control unit calculates a quantity of air that is taken into an engine from an output current from an air flow meter that is located downstream from a throttle valve. The control unit then determines the quantity of fuel to be injected for this quantity of air. The control unit determines a rise in the air intake as being when the quantity of air is on an increasing trend and has exceeded a predetermined threshold value. In contrast, the control unit determines a fall in the air intake as being when the quantity of air is on a decreasing trend and has exceeded a predetermined threshold value. An injection of fuel starts from a rise in the air intake and is ended at an earlier timing than the end of the air intake.

  • Patent number: 7188612
    Abstract: An engine control system (1) measures an amount of air sucked by an engine (2) based on the output of an air flow meter (14) provided in an air intake passage (4), on the downstream side of a throttle valve (12), calculates an injection amount of fuel based on the air amount measured, and injects the fuel from an injector (5). The air flow meter (14) is installed at a position on the downstream side of the throttle valve (12), away from the valve (12) by a predetermined distance corresponding to twice to four times the diameter of the air intake passage (4).

  • Patent number: 6973912
    Abstract: An amount-of-air detecting time period Ti is preset based on an intake time period Tr during which intake air is actually drawn into a cylinder chamber. An intake air amount average value Qa during a time period, other than the time period Ti, between intake strokes is calculated. After confirmation that one half or more of an amount-of-air detecting time period Ti(n+1) has elapsed, an integrated value of the intake air amount is multiplied by a correcting coefficient Ka, and divided by the amount-of-air detecting time period Ti(n+1), thereby calculating an intake air amount Qin during the amount-of-air detecting time period Ti(n+1). The average value Qa of the intake air amount is subtracted from the amount Qin during the amount-of-air detecting time period Ti(n+1), thereby calculating an estimated amount Qp of intake air introduced into the cylinder chamber.

  • Patent number: 4860708
    Abstract: A control system for a throttle valve in automotive internal combustion engines in which the throttle valve is both mechanically linked with an accelerator pedal and also connected with an actuator such as a pulse motor for fine-adjusting the opening of the throttle valve in the closing direction in accordance with the operating state of the engine after it has been opened through the mechanical linkage. A spring is inserted in the mechanical linkage system between the accelerator pedal and the throttle valve. The provision of the spring substantially isolates the accelerator pedal from forces acting in other parts of the system so that the operator does not feel an unnatural change in the amount of pressure needed to depress the accelerator pedal when the actuator goes into operation.
