Idling speeding control system for internal combustion engine

Claim 1

An idling speed control system for an internal combustion engine having an intake system and a control valve disposed therein to control the amount of intake air fed to the engine, comprising a rotational speed detecting means for generating a rotational speed signal representing the rotational speed of the engine, an operating condition detecting means for generating an operating condition signal representing the operating condition of the engine, a valve actuator which receives a valve driving signal and controls the position of said control valve, a desired idling speed determining means for determining a desired idling speed taking into account the operating condition of the engine represented by the operating condition signal fed thereto, a first value determining means which determines a first value according to the desired idling speed determined by the desired idling speed determining means, the first value being for moving said control valve to a temporary target position which is expected to be suitable to obtain the desired idling speed, a second value determining means which determines a second value according to the difference between the actual rotational speed of the engine represented by the rotational speed signal fed from the rotational speed detecting means and the desired idling speed determined by the desired idling speed determining means, the second value being for correcting the position of the control valve to a final target position so that the actual rotational speed converges to the desired idling speed, a driving signal generating means which generates the valve driving signal according to a third value which is derived from the first and second values respectively determined by the first value determining means and the second value determining means and feeds it to the valve actuator, a first detecting means which detects that the actual rotational speed of the engine is equalized to the desired idling speed and generates a detecting signal; a second detecting means which detects said third value at the moment when the first detecting means generates the detecting signal, an averaging means for averaging a plurality of values detected by the second detecting means, and a value correcting means which acts on the first value determining means to cause it to adopt the averaged value obtained by the averaging means as the first value.
