Definitions
- the invention relates to an internal combustion engine, and particularly to an ignition timing circuit for an internal combustion engine.
- Spark-ignited internal combustion engines require a spark at the spark plug in order to ignite the fuel and air mixture in the cylinder of the engine.
- the timing of the combustion event is critical in the operation of the internal combustion engine. Particularly, the timing of the combustion event controls the speed and acceleration of the engine as well as the efficiency with which the fuel in the cylinder is burned.
- Various methods of timing the combustion event are known. In particular, it is generally known to make use of various engine operating parameters to time the combustion event. Such parameters may include crankshaft angle, engine temperature and/or cylinder pressure.
- this invention provides an absolute time delay ignition circuit for an internal combustion engine.
- the time delay ignition circuit bases the timing of the ignition spark on the elapsed time from the fuel injector event.
- the electronic control unit of the engine generates a signal causing injection of fuel by the fuel injector and subsequently generates a signal causing an ignition spark based on an absolute period of elapsed time measured from the injection signal.
- the electronic control unit can generate the time delay based upon either a fixed calibrated time period, a predetermined time period stored in a memory based look-up table, or a time period calculated from a software based algorithm that evaluates various parameters such as temperature, pressure, etc.
- the engine is operated with time-based ignition at low speeds, and is operated with crank-angle-based ignition at high speeds, i.e., the change from time-based ignition to crank-angle-based ignition is based solely on engine speed.
- the engine is operated with time-based ignition at low engine loads (as measured by throttle position), and is operated with crank-angle-based ignition at high engine loads, i.e., the change from time- based ignition to crank-angle-based ignition is based solely on engine loads.
- the engine is operated with time-based ignition at low loads and low speed, and is operated with crank-angle-based ignition at either high loads or high speeds, i.e., the change from time-based ignition to crank-angle- based ignition is based on both the engine speed and engine load.
- the invention also provides an internal combustion engine assembly comprising: an internal combustion engine including an engine block having at least one cylinder; a piston mounted within the cylinder for reciprocal movement in the cylinder; a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder; and circuit means for generating an injection control signal indicative of a fuel injection event and for generating a spark in the cylinder a predetermined amount of time after generation of the injection control signal.
- the invention also provides an internal combustion engine assembly comprising: an internal combustion engine including an engine block having at least one cylinder; a piston mounted within the cylinder for reciprocal movement in the cylinder; a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder; and a circuit for generating an injection control signal indicative of a fuel injection event, the circuit including a timer having a timer output for generating an electrical timing signal, the timing signal having a predetermined duration indicating an amount of time elapsed from generation of the injection control signal.
- the invention also provides a method of timing the ignition of fuel in an internal combustion engine, the engine including an engine block having at least one cylinder, a piston mounted within the cylinder for reciprocal movement in the cylinder, a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the cylinder, the method comprising the steps of: (A) initiating an injection event; and (B) generating an ignition signal solely in response to the time elapsed since the injection event. It is an advantage of the invention to provide an ignition system that bases the timing of the ignition spark on an absolute period of time measured from the fuel injection event.

- FIG. 1 of the drawings Partially shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings is an internal combustion engine 10.
- One cylinder 14 of the engine 10 is illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the engine 10 includes a crankcase 18 defining a crankcase chamber 22 and having a crankshaft 26 rotatable therein.
- An engine block 30 defines the cylinder 14.
- the engine block 30 also defines an intake port 34 communicating between the cylinder 14 and the crankcase chamber 22 via a transfer passage 38.
- the engine block 30 also defines an exhaust port 42.
- a piston 46 is reciprocally moveable in the cylinder 14 and is drivingly connected to the crankshaft 26 by a connecting rod and crank pin assembly 50.
- a cylinder head 54 closes the upper end of the cylinder 14 so as to define a combustion chamber 58.
- the engine 10 also includes a fuel injector 62 mounted on the cylinder head 54 for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber 58.
- a spark plug 66 is mounted on the cylinder head 54 and extends into the combustion chamber 58.
- the internal combustion engine 10 also includes (see FIG. 2) a time delay ignition circuit 70 for generating a spark in the cylinder 14 at a predetermined moment after the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber 58 has occurred.
- the time delay ignition circuit 70 includes a microprocessor 74 having data outputs 78, an injection indicator output 82, and a spark generating output 86.
- the microprocessor 74 generates spark signals at the output 86. It should be understood, however, that the spark signals may be generated by another appropriate component such as an ECU.
- the circuit 70 also includes a timer 90 having an 8-bit register of data inputs 94 for receiving timing information from the data outputs 78 of the microprocessor 74.
- the timer 90 also has a trigger input 98 connected to the injection indicator output 82 of the microprocessor 74 to receive from the microprocessor 74 a signal indicating when an injection event has been initiated by the microprocessor 74.
- the timer 90 also includes a timing pulse output 102.
- the time delay ignition circuit 70 also includes an AND gate 106 having two inputs 110 and 114 and an output 118.
- Input 110 of AND gate 106 is connected to the output 102 of the timer 90.
- Input 114 of AND gate 106 is connected to the microprocessor 74 to receive from the microprocessor 74 a spark generating signal from spark generating output 86.
- the output 118 of the AND gate 106 is connected to an ignition coil 122 (shown schematically in FIG. 1) to generate a spark in the cylinder 14 and ignite the fuel in the cylinder 14.
- the timer 90 receives, from output 82 of microprocessor 74, and injection control signal (see reference numeral 2 in FIG.
- timer 90 At the trigger input 98 of timer 90 and, in response to the injection control signal, begins to count the clock pulses from the microprocessor clock signal. As long as the timer count has not expired, the timer 90 generates at the output 102 a high signal or timing signal (see reference numeral 3 in FIG. 3).
- the microprocessor 74 When the microprocessor 74 generates the spark signal at the output 86 (see reference numeral 4 in FIG. 3), and this spark signal is received at the input 114 to the AND gate 106, the AND gate 106 generates at output 118 an output or ignition signal or current which is transmitted to the ignition coil 122 (see reference numeral 5 in FIG. 3). The output 118 goes low (see reference numeral 6 in FIG.
- the ignition circuit 70 may be used at any speed, the ignition circuit 70 is preferably used at low or idle speeds, i.e., speeds of 200 to 2000 crankshaft rotations per minute (RPM), and has been shown to operate particularly well at speeds as low as 200 RPM. At speeds above 2000 RPM, the engine is preferably controlled using a conventional crankshaft angle-based ignition system. In both conventional internal combustion engines and the internal combustion engine 10 shown in the drawings, timing of the spark generating signal at such speeds is -7- based solely on the crank angle of the crankshaft. However, in the prior art, the spark generating signal is connected directly to the ignition coil and initiates the ignition spark directly and without the need for any additional signals.
- RPM crankshaft rotations per minute
- the timing of prior art ignition events is dependent upon crank angle 5 rather than upon absolute time calculated from a fixed point in time.
- the ignition circuit 70 causes ignition to always occur a predetermined amount of time after the injection event occurs, and this predetermined amount of time is not based on the crank angle of the crankshaft.
- the fuel injection event is the generation of the fuel injection signal at output 86 of microprocessor 74.

- Inputs 388 and 404 of AND gates 380 and 396, respectively, are connected to the microprocessor 74 to receive the spark signals from outputs 420 and 424, respectively, of microprocessor 74.
- Output 420 generates the spark signal for cylinder three while output 424 generates the spark signal for cylinder six.
- the outputs 392 and 408 of AND gates 380 and 396 provide the ignition control signals for ignition coils of cylinders three and six, respectively.
- the ignition control signals for cylinders three and six could be generated by the microprocessor 74 in multiplexed form and combined along with the combined timing output signal at 344 and demultiplexed by a circuit similar to DMUX 428.
- the outputs 360 and 376 of AND gates 348 and 364, respectively, provide the multiplexed ignition control signals for ignition coils of cylinders one and four and cylinders two and five, respectively.

- the DMUX 428 includes AND gates 432 and 436 and AND gates 440, 444, 448, and 452.

- DMUX generates the demultiplexed ignition control signals at outputs 464, 468, 472, and 476 for cylinders one, four, two, and five, respectively.
- the time delay ignition circuit 200 is used at low speeds, i.e., speeds of 200 to 2000 crankshaft rotations per minute (RPM), and has been shown to operate particularly well at speeds as low as 200 RPM. At speeds above 2000 RPM the ignition is preferably controlled using a conventional crankshaft angle-based timing system.
- the microprocessor supplies an injection signal for cylinder one at input 264 of OR gate 240 and for cylinder four at input 268 of OR gate 240.

- the combined timing signals are combined with combined spark control signals for cylinders one and four, and cylinders two and five, respectively, to create a pair of combined ignition signals for cylinders one and four, and two and five.
- DMUX 428 demultiplexes the combined ignition signals to generate an absolute time-based ignition signal for cylinders one, four, two, and five.

- the spark control signals are input to AND gates 380 and 396 to generate absolute time-based ignition signals for cylinders three and six at outputs 392 and 408, respectively.
- While the embodiment described above changes between time-based ignition and crank-angle-based ignition on the basis of engine speed only, one or more of a variety of other engine parameters may be used, either alone or in combination, to determine when to switch between time-based ignition and crank- angle-based ignition.
- engine parameters include engine load, throttle position or some other appropriate parameter.
- FIGS. 5-9 illustrate, in chart form, the injection timing, ignition timing, absolute maximum ignition coil on-time, preferred ignition coil on-time and injection pulse time of a control scheme for the ignition circuit 200.
- the engine operates with time-based ignition at a low percentage of wide open throttle (approximately 15% of wide open throttle or below) and with crank-angle-based ignition at a high percentage of wide open throttle (above approximately 15% of wide open throttle). That is, the change from time-based ignition to crank-angle-based ignition is based solely on the throttle position measured as a percentage of wide open throttle.
- the injection timing shown in FIG. 5 is measured in degrees before top- dead-center.
- the injection timing numbers in FIG. 5 represent the number of degrees before top-dead-center that the current begins to flow in the fuel injector coil.
- the injection timing numbers in FIG. 5 represent the number of degrees before top- dead-center that fuel spray into the combustion chamber begins.
- FIG. 10 illustrates graphically the change between time-based igmtion and crank-angle-based ignition for another alternative control scheme for the igmtion circuit 200.
- the engine operates with time-based igmtion at a low percentage of throttle position and at low speed, and operates with crank- angle-based ignition at either a high percentage of throttle position or at high speeds.
- ignition is time based if engine speed is below 1000 RPM and operator throttle demand is less than twenty percent (i.e., the throttle position sensor detects a throttle position less than twenty percent of maximum - shown as "200 T.P.S.” in FIG. 10). If engine speed is above 1000 RPM or operator throttle demand is greater than twenty percent, ignition is crank-angle- based.
