Abstract

Abstract A revolution speed control apparatus for an internal combustion engine comprises an intake air quantity setting device for setting an intake air quantity to an internal combustion engine, a target revolution speed setting device for setting a target revolution speed for the engine, a revolution speed detector for detecting the revolution speed of the engine, and idling state detector for detecting an idling state of the engine, a revolution speed feedback-control quantity calculating device for calculating a revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between the target revolution speed and an actual revolution speed of the engine when the engine is in an idling state, a hot wire type air flow sensor for detecting an intake air quantity to the engine, a correction value memory to transfer with time the revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between an actual intake air quantity and a target intake air quantity which is obtained from the intake air quantity set by the intake air quantity setting device and the revolution speed feedback control quantity, and an intake air quantity control device for controlling the intake air quantity on the basis of a memory value stored in the correction value memory and the target intake air quantity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 212 words
A revolution speed control apparatus for an internal combustion engine which comprises: an intake air quantity setting means for setting an intake air quantity to an internal combustion engine, a target revolution speed setting means for setting a target revolution speed for the engine, a revolution speed detecting means for detecting the revolution speed of the engine, an idling state detecting means for detecting an idling state of the engine, a revolution speed feedback-control quantity calculating means for calculating a revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between the target revolution speed and an actual revolution speed of the engine when the engine is in an idling state, an intake air quantity detecting means for detecting an intake air quantity to the engine, a correction value memory to transfer with time the revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between an actual intake air quantity and a target intake air quantity which is obtained from the intake air quantity set by the intake air quantity setting means and the revolution speed feedback control quantity, and an intake air quantity control means for controlling the intake air quantity on the basis of a memory value stored in the correction value memory and the target intake air quantity.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 212 words
A revolution speed control apparatus for an internal combustion engine which comprises: an intake air quantity setting means for setting an intake air quantity to an internal combustion engine, a target revolution speed setting means for setting a target revolution speed for the engine, a revolution speed detecting means for detecting the revolution speed of the engine, an idling state detecting means for detecting an idling state of the engine, a revolution speed feedback-control quantity calculating means for calculating a revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between the target revolution speed and an actual revolution speed of the engine when the engine is in an idling state, an intake air quantity detecting means for detecting an intake air quantity to the engine, a correction value memory to transfer with time the revolution speed feedback control quantity in accordance with an error between an actual intake air quantity and a target intake air quantity which is obtained from the intake air quantity set by the intake air quantity setting means and the revolution speed feedback control quantity, and an intake air quantity control means for controlling the intake air quantity on the basis of a memory value stored in the correction value memory and the target intake air quantity.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 46 words
The revolution speed control apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a control/arithmetic section receives the error between the target and actual intake air quantities to operate it thereby outputting a corrected flow rate ΔQ which is used for subtracting from the revolution speed feedback control quantity.
