Abstract:
In a two-cycle heat-insulating engine of the present invention, each of combustion chambers defined by the lower surface of a cylinder head and a cylinder line has an adiabatic structure, each of exhaust valves is disposed in each exhaust port formed in the cylinder head, an intake valve for preventing the backflow of an exhaust gas is disposed in each intake port formed at the lower part of a cylinder, each of these valves is actuated for opening and closing by electromagnetic force of each electromagnetic valve driving device, and a controller controls the opening/closing timing of the intake and exhaust valves, the valve opening/closing time, etc, in response to detection signals from detection means for detecting the operational conditions of the engine. Particularly when the engine is driven at a low number of revolution, the exhaust valve is opened near the lower dead point so as to exhaust all at once the exhaust gas and to suck the intake air, to limit any thermal influences on the intake air and to prevent the drop of the intake air quantity.
Abstract:
A system includes an engine and a controller in operative communication with the engine. Engine operating conditions are determined. At least one engine operating condition is determined. Based on the determined at least one engine operating condition, brake-specific fuel consumption is determined for each of a plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. A target cylinder pressure is selected from the plurality of candidate cylinder pressures. The target cylinder pressure is the candidate cylinder pressure at which brake-specific fuel consumption is minimized. Intake valve timing of the engine is modulated so as to achieve the target cylinder pressure.
Abstract:
A control device for controlling a solenoid driving valve functioning as an intake valve or an exhaust valve of an internal combustion engine and controlling an electromagnetic force required to open or close a valve disc according to a pressure acting on the valve disc. Specifically, a control device for a solenoid driving valve (78) for opening or closing a valve disc (40) by a cooperation between resilient forces of an upper spring (104) and a lower spring (106) and electromagnetic forces of an upper coil (98) and a lower coil (100), wherein a pressure acting on the valve disc (40) is detected directly or indirectly. A magnitude of an electromagnetic force for energizing the valve disc (40), when the valve disc is displaced from one of a valve open position and a valve close position to the other position, toward the other position is controlled according to a pressure acting on the valve disc.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the control and/or regulation of a constant voltage converter (13) for at least two electromagnetic valves (11, 12) of an internal combustion engine, especially an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle. A current, which is produced by the constant voltage converter (13), is supplied to each of the valves (11, 12). It is determined when the total supplied currents of the valves (11, 12) represent a high load for the constant voltage converter (13). If this is the case, the constant voltage converter (13) results in an improved processing of the higher load.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a circuit for controlling electromechanically actuated gas exchange valves (5, 6). Placement control elements (2, 3) in said circuit control the output stage of the electromechanically actuated gas exchange valves (5, 6) and regulate the gentle placement of the gas exchange valves (5, 6) in their respective end positions. A digital communication computer (1) that is provided for communicating with the operational control device (9) of the internal combustion engine supplies time control signals to the placement control elements (2, 3). As a result, the placement control elements (2, 3) do not have to perform communications tasks and are devoted to placement control in real time.
