Abstract
A knocking determination device detects a vibration generated in an internal combustion engine during a predetermined period in each combustion cycle of the internal combustion engine. The knocking determination device performs a knocking determination of a presence or absence of a knock based on a vibration waveform in a predetermined frequency band component of the vibration detected.
Claims11
A knocking determination device comprising:
- a detection unit configured to detect a vibration generated in an internal combustion engine during each unit period as a predetermined period in each combustion cycle of the internal combustion engine;
- a knocking determination unit configured to perform a knocking determination of a presence or absence of a knock based on a vibration waveform in a predetermined frequency band component of the vibration detected;
- an end determination unit, when a plurality of individual waveforms are included in the vibration waveform during one unit period, configured to determine an end of an individual waveform, and recognize a boundary between adjacent two of the plurality of individual waveforms, the individual waveform being a waveform of each predetermined series of vibrations included in the vibration waveform;
- and
- a feature extraction unit configured to perform an extraction work that extracts a feature of the individual waveform based on recognizing the boundary, wherein
- the knocking determination unit determines whether the feature of the individual waveform matches with a feature of a knocking waveform, and determines that the knock exists on condition determining that the feature of the individual waveform matches with the feature of the knocking waveform.
