摘要:
A control apparatus for an automobile is provided with a system manager, which initiates and manages the operation of units for controlling and operating various devices and accessories installed in the automobile. The system manager is coupled with a card unit, in which a card is inserted. Such a card has an identification code ID of a user and a code indicating that the card is registered in advance. The system manager has a list of codes of cards registered. If a card inserted is confirmed to be correct and valid by the ID and the registration code, the system manager executes a predetermined processing operation and produces a set-up instruction signal. Upon receipt of this set-up instruction signal, operations of the control units for the devices and accessories are initiated.

An apparatus for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine having a carburetor, especially, the air-fuel ratio and the rate of exhaust gas recirculation, controls the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine in the steady operating condition of the engine on the basis of predetermined data determined relative to the engine crankshaft rotation speed and intake vacuum and stored previously in a memory. A three-way catalyst is used to purify engine exhaust gases, and an output signal from an O.sub.2 sensor in the exhaust system is fed back for the control of the air-fuel ratio in the engine exhaust gases. A circuit is provided to check whether this feedback control is normally carried or not. The air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine in an unsteady operating condition of the engine is controlled by regulating the amounts of fuel and air supplied to the engine while bypassing the carburetor, on the basis of the sensed values of the intake vacuum, engine crankshaft rotation speed and engine temperature and also depending on the throttle valve position. For the control of the rate of exhaust gas recirculation, an upper limit and a lower limit of the rate of opening of a recirculation rate regulating valve are determined on the basis of the sensed throttle valve opening, and other predetermined data determined relative to the engine crankshaft rotation speed and intake vacuum is read out from the memory to limit the rate of opening of the recirculation rate regulating valve.

An ignition circuit for use in an internal combustion engine comprises a magnet generator mechanically connected to a crank shaft of the engine. A first transistor is turned on and off by an alternating voltage signal from the magnet generator. A power transistor forms a closed circuit in cooperation with a high voltage transformer and a current source. The power transistor is controlled by a control signal from the first transistor so as to form a primary current which is abruptly cut off. The transformer induces a high voltage which is supplied for a spark plug in response to abrupt interception of the primary current. A delay element composed of a resistor and a capacitor is connected to a base of the first transistor. A second transistor which is inserted between the delay element and ground has a base connected to the current source through contacts which are closed depending on operating condition of the engine, such as a temperature of cooling water, opening angle of throttle valve and gear position which thereby provide for a delay in the ignition timing.

An air-fuel ratio control apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises a carburetor for controlling the air-fuel ratio of the fuel-air mixture supplied to the engine, a thermal reactor in which the exhaust gas from engine is caused to undergo reaction with secondary air supplied to the reactor, an oxygen sensor disposed in an exhaust gas passage between the reactor and three-way catalyst, a negative pressure generator for producing a negative pressure corresponding to the output from the oxygen sensor, a detector for detecting a low and a high speed operation region of the engine, and means for controlling a low speed fuel system and a main fuel system, respectively, of the carburetor in response to the negative pressure in such a manner that the fuel-air mixture is enriched with the secondary air supply being concurrently increased in the low speed operation region of the engine, while in the high speed operation range the fuel-air mixture having an approximately stoichiometric air-fuel ratio is supplied to the engine. A method of controlling the air-fuel ratio controlling apparatus is also disclosed.

A signal corresponding to the oxygen concentration in exhaust gas as detected by an O.sub.2 sensor is applied to a control logic circuit after analog conversion. The duty ratio of a pulse signal for keeping the optimum air-fuel ratio corresponding to a running state of an automobile is calculated by the use of the detection signal and in accordance with a program stored in a ROM in advance. The control pulse having the duty ratio is used for the switching control of a solenoid valve for regulating the air-fuel ratio of a mixture.

An apparatus for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine having a carburetor which, controls the air-fuel ratio of the air-fuel mixture supplied to the engine in the steady operating condition of the engine on the basis of predetermined data determined relative to the engine crankshaft rotation speed and intake vacuum and stored in a memory. A three-way catalyst purifies engine exhaust gases, and an output signal from an O.sub.2 sensor in the exhaust system is fed back for the control of the air-fuel ratio in the engine exhaust gases. A circuit checks whether this feedback control is normally carried or not. The air-fuel ratio supplied to the engine in an unsteady operating condition of the engine is controlled by regulating the fuel and air supplied to the engine while bypassing the carburetor, by the sensed values of the intake vacuum, engine crankshaft rotation speed and engine temperature and also depending on the throttle valve position. To control the rate of exhaust gas recirculation, an upper limit and a lower limit of the rate of opening of a recirculation rate regulating valve are determined on the basis of the sensed throttle valve opening, and other predetermined data determined relative to the engine crankshaft rotation speed and intake vaccum is read out from the memory to limit the rate of opening of the recirculation rate regulating valve.
