Methods Of Controlling A Camless Engine To Prevent Interference Between Valves And Pistons
Methods Of Controlling A Camless Engine To Prevent Interference Between Valves And Pistons
US Patent:
2004026, Dec 30, 2004
Filed:
Apr 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/824837
Inventors:
Guy Babbitt - Colorado Springs CO, US
Christopher Balton - Bellingham WA, US
Christopher Balton - Bellingham WA, US
International Classification:
F01L001/34, F01L009/02
US Classification:
123/090130, 123/090150
Abstract:
Methods of controlling a camless engine to prevent interference between engine valves and engine valves and pistons. The methods utilize one or more safe trajectories for the valves versus engine crankshaft angle. In normal operation, an engine valve control system monitors crankshaft angle and controls the engine valve so as to stay on the safe side of a safe trajectory. In the event the actual valve motion deviates excessively from the intended trajectory so as to reach or cross the safe trajectory, preventive action is taken, typically to command the engine valve to close. Safe trajectories may be stored in lookup tables, in equation form or both. In some cases a single safe trajectory for a valve may be sufficient, though in other cases, safe trajectories as a function of some engine operating conditions and environmental conditions, and in some cases may include crankshaft acceleration. Various embodiments are disclosed.

International Classification:
G06F 7/00, G06F 17/00, G06F 19/00
US Classification:
701 54, 701 51, 477110, 477159
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for controlling an amount of torque generated by an engine of a vehicle. The amount of torque may be controlled by limiting an amount of fuel or air or a combination thereof being provided to the engine. In some situations, controlling the amount of torque generated by the engine may be utilized to gradually limit the vehicle's acceleration, which in turn, may influence driver shifting strategies.
