Idling speed control system for internal combustion engines

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5005093

This patent describes an idling speed control system for controlling idling rotational speed of an internal combustion engine having an intake passage and a throttle valve arranged, comprising: vacuum-actuated actuator means having a vacuum chamber, and a diaphragm defining the vacuum chamber and operatively connected to the throttle valve for controlling opening and closing thereof in response to pressure in the vacuum chamber; single change-over control valve means operatively connected to the vacuum-operated actuator means for supplying the vacuum chamber, with a first control pressure for opening the throttle valve and a second control pressure for closing the throttle valve; and electronic control means operatively connected to the engine and the change-over control valve means. The electronic control means are adapted to generate an on-off control pulse signal having a pulse repetition period inversely proportional to rotational speed of the engine.
