Engine starting system

When an engine restart request is given in an engine stopping period which begins at a point of fuel supply interruption and ends at a point of complete engine stop, an engine starting system judges whether TDC engine speed detected immediately before is equal to or lower than a specific value “A”, the counted number of reverse running motions of the engine is 0, and a piston in an expansion stroke cylinder is relatively close to TDC. If the judgment result is in the affirmative with all these conditions satisfied, the engine starting system injects fuel into the expansion stroke cylinder and then ignites and combusts a mixture produced therein. The engine starting system also injects the fuel into a compression stroke cylinder and then ignites and combusts a mixture produced therein when a piston in the compression stroke cylinder has gone beyond TDC.

InactiveUS20060257698A1Prevent deterioration of responseImprove fuel efficiencyHybrid vehiclesAuxillary drivesFuel cellsLow load
In a fuel cell system in which load electric power is supplied from a fuel cell and a secondary battery, intermittent operation is performed, that is, operation of the fuel cell is stopped and the load electric power is supplied from the secondary battery in a low load region. At this time, a threshold value for stopping and starting the operation of the fuel cell is adjusted according to open circuit voltage. Thus, it is possible to prevent fuel from being unnecessarily consumed in order to maintain the open circuit voltage at a predetermined value when the operation of the fuel cell is stopped, and to improve response of the fuel cell when the operation of the fuel cell is restarted after the open circuit voltage has decreased in the fuel cell that has stopped generating electric power.

Engine starter control apparatus

A starter control apparatus is provided which is used with a starter equipped with a pinion engageable with a ring gear coupled to an output shaft of an engine and a motor operable to rotate the pinion to crank the engine. The starter control apparatus works to determine whether the engine has been placed to continue to run by itself after cranked by the motor or not. When such a condition is encountered, the starter control apparatus releases the engagement of the pinion with the ring gear while keeping the pinion rotated by the motor, thereby decreasing the torque exerted by the ring gear on the pinion to minimize the wear of the pinion.

Internal combustion engine system and internal combustion engine control method

When a crank angle CAa of a specific cylinder, which was expected to stop in a fuel injection stop range over an intake stroke to a compression stroke at a full stop of an engine and received fuel injection, actually exceeds the fuel injection stop range and reaches a preset reference angle CA4, engine stop-state ignition control of the invention ignites the air-fuel mixture in the specific cylinder receiving the fuel injection at a moment of reaching the preset reference angle CA4 (step S260) and simultaneously injects the fuel into a certain cylinder that is in the intake stroke at the moment of the ignition (step S270). When the crank angle CAa of the specific cylinder receiving the fuel injection does not reach the preset reference angle CA4 but exceeds a preset reference angle CA3 that is smaller than the preset reference angle CA4, the engine stop-state ignition control of the invention ignites the air-fuel mixture in the specific cylinder upon a preset wait time elapsed after the full stop of the engine (step S295). This arrangement of the invention effectively restrains direct discharge of the uncombusted fuel at a restart of the engine to prevent the poor emission, while ensuring quiet combustion to reduce the potential vibrations due to the explosive combustion.

System for starting internal combustion engine

In an engine starting system, when a first solenoid is energized at a first timing in response to any one of a turning on of a starter switch and an occurrence of an engine restart request, a solenoid actuator shifts a pinion to a ring gear to be engaged with the ring gear. When a second solenoid is energized, a solenoid switch member energizes a motor. A determiner determines a second timing of energization of the second solenoid after the first timing so that a first delay time from the first timing to the second timing when the first timing is responsive to the turning on of the starter switch is different from a second delay time from the first timing to the second timing when the first timing is responsive to the occurrence of the engine restart request.
