A method for detecting knocking provides for weighting or limitation of the knocking threshold. For this purpose, on the one hand a normal range of the reference level is defined and in the case of a deviation from this normal range the knocking threshold is multiplied by a weighting factor less than 1 and, alternatively, the knocking threshold is limited when a prescribable limit value is reached.

Method for the adaptive knock control of an internal combustion engine

In a system for the closed-loop control of the supercharging of an internal-combustion engine, a manipulated variable is produced by means of a controller in dependence upon the deviation between a desired supercharging and an actual supercharging. With this manipulated variable, a final controlling element is triggered, which influences the supercharging of the internal-combustion engine. The controller parameters of the controller are repeatedly optimized. To this end, a model for the internal-combustion engine is specified, inclusive of a charging device, and the model parameters are determined from the manipulated variable and the actual supercharging. Controller parameters are determined from the model parameters and relayed to the controller. Moreover, in certain operating states, the controller parameters are stored in start-up characteristic maps. The start-up characteristic maps supply the initial values for the controller parameters each time the closed-loop control is activated.

A system for automatically controlling the supercharging of an internal combustion engine by controlling a variable parameter signal, such as pressure, air quantity, or air mass which characterizes the status of the internal combustion engine supercharging operation. The system includes a closed-loop control system. To optimize supercharging performance the response characteristic of the control system is determined as a function of the rotational frequency of the internal combustion engine and an operating parameter signal which characterizes the dynamic output response of the internal combustion engine and of the supercharger. In the case of large system deviations, the operating parameter signal is derived from the actual measured value of the control variable. The control system raises the value of the operating parameter signal when the control system is deactivated to avoid making an incorrect determination of the value of the operating parameter signal when the control system is then immediately reactivated. When small system deviations occur, the control system operates based on the assumption that the engine and supercharger are operating at a steady-state condition. Under such conditions, the control system uses a stored value for the value of the operating parameter signal.

A method for recognizing a power stroke of each cylinder in a four-stroke engine calls for sensing a parameter of a cylinder in the engine for producing a signal of the parameter, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of pressure and knocking, and comparing the signal with a threshold value for determining whether the signal exceeds the threshold value and thereby is indicative of the cylinder being in a corresponding combustion stroke. In addition to sensing the pressure and knocking of the cylinder, sensing of sound signals from the cylinder is also employed in order to determine power and intake strokes of the cylinders.
