Ignition Coil With Ionization And Digital Feedback For An Internal Combustion Engine

View page
US Patent:
20110041803, Feb 24, 2011
Filed:
Aug 20, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/544389
Inventors:
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
Garlan J. Huberts - Milford MI, US
Christopher Paul Glugla - Macomb MI, US
Assignee:
Ford Global Technologies, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02P 5/00
G01M 15/04
US Classification:
1234062, 7311467
Abstract:
Systems and methods for controlling an internal combustion engine include an ignition coil that generates a pre-discharge ionization signal during charging of the ignition coil after reaching a first threshold charge level and prior to spark discharge and a controller that determines an engine operating condition, such as pre-ignition or plug fouling, in response to the pre-discharge ionization signal. The ignition coil may also generate digital feedback and ionization signals used to by the controller for to control ignition coil dwell and repetitive sparking, as well as providing various combustion diagnostics.

US Patent:
20130206106, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Feb 10, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/371170
Inventors:
Garlan J. Huberts - Milford MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
Assignee:
FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Dearborn MI
International Classification:
F02P 5/04
US Classification:
12340627
Abstract:
A system for monitoring and cleaning a spark plug is disclosed. In one example, an amount of carbonaceous soot at the center electrode ceramic of the spark plug is determined in response to a voltage of a sense resistor that is in electrical communication with the spark plug. The system may institute spark plug cleaning after carbonaceous soot is detected so that the possibility of engine misfire may be reduced.

US Patent:
20210040905, Feb 11, 2021
Filed:
Aug 7, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/534739
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Garlan J. Huberts - Milford MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02D 41/02
F02D 41/12
F01N 11/00
F02D 41/00
Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided for protecting an exhaust catalyst from degradation during a DFSO event. Exit from DFSO due to pedal input received from an operator with a jittery foot is averted by filtering the pedal input differently when operating in a DFSO mode as compared to when operating out of the DFSO mode. Exit from DFSO is confirmed after receiving a higher than threshold pedal position input for a sustained period of time, or when an integrated fuel injection amount exceeds a threshold amount.

US Patent:
20200284234, Sep 10, 2020
Filed:
May 26, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/883181
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02P 17/12
F02P 5/04
F02P 5/15
Abstract:
A system for monitoring and cleaning a spark plug is disclosed. In one example, rim firing of a spark plug is detected according to characteristics of a voltage of a primary coil of an ignition coil. The system may institute spark plug cleaning after rim firing of a spark plug is detected.

16/120038
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02P 17/12
F02P 5/15
F02P 5/04

US Patent:
20170350362, Dec 7, 2017
Filed:
Jun 3, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/173374
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Michael Damian Czekala - Canton MI, US
Garlan J. Huberts - Milford MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02P 3/045
F02D 41/00
F02D 35/02
F02P 17/12
Abstract:
A system and method for assessing the presence or absence of ignition coil degradation for an ignition system that includes two ignition coils for each spark plug. Ignition coil degradation may be determined without having to monitor ignition coils via specialized hardware circuitry. In one example, degradation of one or more ignition coils may be inferred from cylinder the presence or absence of cylinder misfire.

System And Method For Detecting Engine Knock And Misfire

US Patent:
20170241394, Aug 24, 2017
Filed:
Feb 19, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/048186
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02P 17/12
F02P 9/00
Abstract:
A system and method for providing multiple commands to an ignition coil driver circuit to provide spark, ion signal integration, and ignition coil shunting during a cycle of a cylinder is presented. In one example, multiple voltage pulses are provided over a single conductor communication link. The voltage pulses provide encoded instructions for ignition timing, ignition coil shunting, and ion signal integration.

US Patent:
20170022959, Jan 26, 2017
Filed:
Jul 24, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/808819
Inventors:
- Dearborn MI, US
Michael Damian Czekala - Canton MI, US
Qiuping Qu - Troy MI, US
International Classification:
F02P 3/05
F02P 9/00
Abstract:
A system and method for mitigating the possibility of missing ignition coil commands is presented. In one example, one or more ignition coils may not be charged and/or discharged during a cylinder cycle in response to the absence of a voltage pulse forming at least a portion of an ignition coil command.
