Abstract
Abstract When the output from an internal combustion engine is reduced using a combination of a throttle valve control device, a fuel cut control device and an ignition retard control device, the starting point of operation of the ignition retard control device in a control region of condition for an excessive slipping of the driving wheel is provided between the starting region of operation of the throttle valve control device and the starting region of operation of the fuel cut control device. This permits the fuel cut control device to have a high responsiveness to a sudden variation in excessive slipping and no exhaust heat to be discharged, and also permits the throttle valve control device to become lower in responsiveness after the excessive slipping has been substantially converged but to have a small variation in fuel-air ratio. The ignition retard control device starts operation only when the excessive slipping cannot be suppressed by the throttle valve control device. Therefore, the use of the ignition retard control device which relatively easily permits an increase in the temperature of an exhaust gas can be restrained to the minimum.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
168 words
A driving-wheel slip control system comprising: a throttle valve control means; a fuel cut control means and an ignition retard control means for controlling an output of an internal combustion engine, wherein when an excessive slipping of a driving wheel driven by said internal combustion engine is detected, the output from said internal combustion engine is reduced by use of at least one of said throttle valve control means, said fuel cut control means and said ignition retard control means, wherein, within a region for control of the excessive slipping of the driving wheel, a third pair of starting limits of operation of said ignition retard control means is provided between a first pair of starting limits of operation of said throttle valve control means and a second pair of starting limits of operation of said fuel cut control means and wherein said first, second and third pairs of starting limits are defined by threshold values of vehicle speed deviation and a derivative of said vehicle speed deviation.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
168 words
A driving-wheel slip control system comprising: a throttle valve control means; a fuel cut control means and an ignition retard control means for controlling an output of an internal combustion engine, wherein when an excessive slipping of a driving wheel driven by said internal combustion engine is detected, the output from said internal combustion engine is reduced by use of at least one of said throttle valve control means, said fuel cut control means and said ignition retard control means, wherein, within a region for control of the excessive slipping of the driving wheel, a third pair of starting limits of operation of said ignition retard control means is provided between a first pair of starting limits of operation of said throttle valve control means and a second pair of starting limits of operation of said fuel cut control means and wherein said first, second and third pairs of starting limits are defined by threshold values of vehicle speed deviation and a derivative of said vehicle speed deviation.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, wherein said throttle valve control means is simultaneously operated when said ignition retard control means is operated.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 2, further including a control quantity calculating means for calculating control quantities of said ignition retard control means and said throttle valve control means on the basis of a deviation between a target value and an actual value of an excessive slipping of the driving wheel, when excessive slipping has been detected.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 3, wherein said control quantity calculating means includes a correcting value calculating means for finding a throttle valve opening degree correcting value for correcting a throttle valve opening degree control quantity for said throttle valve control means on the basis of a retard control quantity for said ignition retard control means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, wherein the operation of said ignition retard control means is controlled by a timing means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
77 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, 2, 3 or 4, further including a calculating means for calculating an initial throttle opening degree setting of said throttle valve control means, and an initial opening degree determination means for determining said throttle opening degree at an initial throttle opening degree setting found by said calculating means, said calculating means and said initial opening degree determination means being operated when said fuel cut control means is operated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
71 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein when the excessive slipping of the driving wheel enters between said first pair of starting limits of operation of said throttle valve control means, a feed-back control is started in accordance with said excessive slipping of the driving wheel by using an initial throttle opening degree determined by an initial opening degree determination means as an initial value.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein said fuel cut control means cuts at least half of a plurality of cylinders in said internal combustion engine.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
50 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein a control of the ignition retard control means is started when a control region thereof is in a predetermined range of said excessive slipping and in a predetermined range of quantity in variation of said excessive slipping.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
44 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 9, wherein said ignition retard control means terminates a control thereof when the excessive slipping becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value which is set lower than the predetermined range of said excessive slipping.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
58 words
A driving wheel slip control system according to claims 1, 2 or 3, wherein said fuel cut control means starts controlling when said excessive slipping becomes equal to or greater than a first pre-determined value, or when a derivative of said vehicle speed deviation of said excessive slipping becomes equal to or greater than a second pre-determined value.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
42 words
A driving-wheel slip control system according to claim 11, wherein said fuel cut control means terminates a control thereof when the excessive slipping becomes equal to or less than a third predetermined value which is set lower than said first predetermined value.
