Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は、エンジン回転信号検知装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般に各気筒毎の噴射を制御する電子制御式エンジンにおいては、気筒毎の圧縮上死点及び噴射時期を正確に割り出す必要があり、このためにエンジンと同期して回転するカムギアあるいはフライホィールの周面に複数個の信号用のパルスを設けてあって、このパルスをピックアップで電気信号として検出する。具体的には、図5において例えばフライホィール1の周面に多数のノックピン型の信号パルス2が同間隔で植設され、それらに対峙して検出器3が固定されていて、図6に示すような出力線図が得られる。
【0003】
また図7に示すようにフライホィール1の周速vが大であれば検出器の出力Vも大きく波形も大きくなる性質がある。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、極低温時における始動の際にはエンジンがピストンの圧縮上死点付近で摩擦が大となるためエンジン回転が極端に低くなってしまい、結果的にはパルスの周速がおそくなり図8のA部に示すように信号が検出できず、従って始動不能になってしまうという問題点があった。
【0005】
本発明は、始動性を向上させるために圧縮上死点付近でのエンジン回転速度低下による検出器の出力変化を防止するエンジン回転信号検知装置を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明によれば、エンジンと同期して回転する回転部材の周面に信号パルス用の円孔を設け、エンジンの上死点付近でその孔径を大きくし、前記回転部材の周面に対峙して検出器を設けたことを特徴とするエンジン回転信号検知装置。
【0007】
【作用】
上記のように構成されたエンジン回転信号検知装置によれば、エンジンの圧縮上死点での周速は遅くなるが、穴形が大きいので検出器は十分パルスを発生する。従って上死点の位置を確実に検知できる。
【0008】
【実施例】
以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施例を説明する。従来部品と同一または同等のものについては説明を省略して同符号を付す。
【0009】
図1において、図示しないエンジンと同期して回転する回転部材たとえば図示の例ではフライホィール1の周面に信号パルスたる円孔2が等間隔で穿設されている。更に例えば6気筒エンジンの場合は図示のように周面に穿設された円孔2の中で6個所が大円孔2aとして形成されている。すなわち大円孔2aの径をDとし他の円孔2の径をdとすればD>dである。これらの大円孔2aは各ピストンが上死点の位置あるとき不動の位置に固定されている検出器3に対峙させられており、6箇所の大円孔2aは等間隔に位置させられていることはいうまでもない。
【0010】
また図2に示すように、信号パルスとしての孔径dが大きければ大きいほど検出器の出力Vが大きくなることが明かであり、図3に示すように圧縮上死点付近でも検出器の出力は正常であることが分かる。以上の説明で気筒数が6の場合大円孔2aの数も6であるが、気筒数がnであれば大円孔数もnであることは勿論である。また回転部材の他例としてカムギヤであってもよい。
【0011】
図4は本発明を実施したエンジンのシステム構成図である。この図を参照して作用について説明する。エンジンEのフライホィール1の周面には信号パルスたる円孔2が穿設してあり、図示していないがそれらの中に気筒数だけ大円孔が等間隔に配置されている。さてエンジンEが回転すれば、フライホィール1の信号パルス2による上死点信号は検出器3を介してコントロールユニット5に入力される。コントロールユニット5は同時にシリンダヘッド6に設けた水温センサ7からの水温信号、燃料ポンプ回転軸8に対面して設けられた気筒識別センサ9からの気筒識別信号及び電子ガバナ10に設けたバックアップセンサ11からの回転バックアップ信号が入力され、コントロールユニット5からはラック制御信号が出力されてラックを移動させ噴射すべき燃料の量が制御される。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明は、以上説明したように構成されているので、エンジンの上死点付近で周速が遅くなるが、従来のピン型の信号パルスと異なり円孔型とし上死点に対応する位置の孔径が大きいので検出器は十分なパルスを発生する。従って上死点の位置を確実に検知でき始動性が向上する。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to an engine rotation signal detection device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Generally, in an electronically controlled engine that controls the injection for each cylinder, it is necessary to accurately determine the compression top dead center and the injection timing for each cylinder. For this reason, the circumference of a cam gear or flywheel that rotates in synchronization with the engine is required. A plurality of signal pulses are provided on the surface, and the pulses are detected as electric signals by a pickup. Specifically, in FIG. 5, for example, a large number of knock pin type signal pulses 2 are implanted at equal intervals on the peripheral surface of the flywheel 1, and the detector 3 is fixed to face them, as shown in FIG. Such an output diagram is obtained.
[0003]
As shown in FIG. 7, when the peripheral speed v of the flywheel 1 is large, the output V of the detector is large and the waveform is large.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, when the engine is started at a very low temperature, the friction of the engine becomes large in the vicinity of the compression top dead center of the piston, so that the engine rotation becomes extremely low. As shown in section A, no signal can be detected, and therefore, there is a problem that the engine cannot be started.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an engine rotation signal detection device that prevents a change in output of a detector due to a decrease in engine rotation speed near a compression top dead center in order to improve startability.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the present invention, a circular hole for a signal pulse is provided on the peripheral surface of the rotating member that rotates in synchronization with the engine, the hole diameter is increased near the top dead center of the engine, and the peripheral surface of the rotating member faces the rotating member. An engine rotation signal detection device, comprising: a detector.
[0007]
[Action]
According to the engine rotation signal detecting device configured as described above, the peripheral speed at the compression top dead center of the engine becomes slow, but since the hole shape is large, the detector generates enough pulses. Therefore, the position of the top dead center can be reliably detected.
[0008]
【Example】
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Descriptions of the same or equivalent parts as those of the conventional parts are omitted and the same symbols are given.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, circular members 2 serving as signal pulses are formed at equal intervals in a rotating member which rotates in synchronization with an engine (not shown), for example, a flywheel 1 in the illustrated example. Furthermore, in the case of a six-cylinder engine, for example, six places are formed as large holes 2a in the holes 2 formed in the peripheral surface as shown in the figure. That is, if the diameter of the large circular hole 2a is D and the diameter of the other circular holes 2 is d, D> d. These large holes 2a are opposed to the detector 3 which is fixed at a fixed position when each piston is located at the top dead center. Six large holes 2a are located at equal intervals. Needless to say,
[0010]
Also, as shown in FIG. 2, it is clear that the larger the hole diameter d as a signal pulse, the larger the output V of the detector becomes, and as shown in FIG. It turns out that it is normal. In the above description, when the number of cylinders is 6, the number of large circular holes 2a is also 6. However, if the number of cylinders is n, the number of large circular holes is also n. A cam gear may be used as another example of the rotating member.
[0011]
FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram of an engine embodying the present invention. The operation will be described with reference to FIG. Circular holes 2 serving as signal pulses are formed in the peripheral surface of the flywheel 1 of the engine E, and although not shown, large circular holes are arranged at equal intervals in the number of cylinders therein. Now, when the engine E rotates, the top dead center signal by the signal pulse 2 of the flywheel 1 is input to the control unit 5 via the detector 3. The control unit 5 is simultaneously provided with a water temperature signal from a water temperature sensor 7 provided on the cylinder head 6, a cylinder identification signal from a cylinder identification sensor 9 provided facing the fuel pump rotating shaft 8, and a backup sensor 11 provided on the electronic governor 10. And a rack control signal is output from the control unit 5 to move the rack to control the amount of fuel to be injected.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
Since the present invention is configured as described above, the peripheral speed decreases near the top dead center of the engine. Due to the large pore size, the detector will generate sufficient pulses. Therefore, the position of the top dead center can be reliably detected, and the startability is improved.
