Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A knock control device is provided in which erroneous knock detection can be reduced by suppressing sudden knock signal changes due to noise, without causing any increase in the number of matching steps, deterioration in the S/N in knock detection and decrease in detection performing frequency. In the knock control device, an open gain is applied to the detected signal only during a knock detection window set in advance by a knock window setting means. The window corresponds to a period in which vibration due to knock arises. During other periods, either a closed gain or an interpolated gain value is applied to the detected signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A knock control device for an engine, comprising: a knock sensor that detects vibration due to knock of the engine; a digital signal processing unit that performs a time-frequency analysis based on output from the knock sensor during a digital signal processing period set in advance; a knock window setting unit that calculates as a knock signal a peak-hold value in a knock window set in advance with respect to the processing result by the digital signal…
