Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A glowplug control device for controlling an applied voltage or power for a glowplug is provided, which includes a target calculating module for calculating a target applied voltage or power to adjust a glowplug temperature to a predetermined target temperature, an output module for applying the target applied voltage or power to the glowplug when the target applied voltage or power is below a maximum applicable voltage or power, and applying the maximum applicable voltage or power to the glowplug when the target applied voltage or power is above the maximum applicable voltage or power, and a temperature estimating module for estimating the glowplug temperature to be the target temperature when the target applied voltage or power is applied to the glowplug, and estimating the glowplug temperature to be below the target temperature by a temperature decrease amount when the maximum applicable voltage or power is applied to the glowplug.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A glowplug control device for controlling one of an applied voltage and an applied power for a glowplug, comprising: a target calculating module for calculating one of a target applied voltage and a target applied power for the glowplug, so as to adjust a temperature of the glowplug to a predetermined target temperature; an output module for applying the one of the target applied voltage and the target applied power to the glowplug when the one of the targ…
