Microprocessor controlled system and method for reducing the fuel flow to the prime mover of a power delivery system having a continuously variable ratio transmission upon a commanded decrease in power delivery
Abstract
This patent describes a system for controlling the operation of a power delivery system including an engine of an engine-driven vehicle and a continuously variable ratio transmission coupled to the engine for delivering power from the engine to an output shaft. The engine has fuel delivery means for delivering a variable quantity of fuel thereto. The power delivery system is controlled by command means for commanding a desired power delivery system performance. The system which consists of: actual system performance measuring means for measuring the actual performance of the power delivery system; ratio control means operatively coupled to the command means and the actual system performance measuring means for controlling the ratio of the transmission as a function of the desired system performance commanded and the measured actual system performance, the speed of the engine varying as a function of transmission ratio; fuel function means defining a desired fuel requirement for the engine in relation to engine operating speed; speed measuring means for measuring the speed of the engine; fuel control means operatively coupled to the fuel function means, so that the fuel delivered to the engine is determined only by the speed thereof; and microprocessor controlled fuel cutting means,more »

The fuel cutting means consists of: input means for inputting to the microprocessor first and second system performance commands, the microprocessor processing the first and second system performance commands to arrive at a change in commanded system performance; and fuel flow means for controlling the fuel flow to the fuel delivery means at a duty cycle which is inversely proportional to the change in commanded system performance.},
