ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling knocking includes a first unit which applies a voltage across a pair of electrodes installed in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, detects an ionic current flowing between said pair of electrodes through ions generated when a gas mixture in the combustion chamber burns, and discriminates whether the knocking is occurring or not based upon the ionic current that is detected. The device for controlling knocking further includes a second unit which detects vibration of the cylinder block by using a vibration sensor installed in the cylinder block of the internal combustion engine, and discriminates whether the knocking is occurring or not based upon the vibration of the cylinder block that is detected. The device for controlling knocking controls the ignition timing of the internal combustion engine based upon the result of discrimination of either the first unit or the second unit depending upon the operation region of the internal combustion engine. The device for controlling knocking maintains a high knocking detecting precision and a high ignition timing control precision throughout the whole operation region of the internal combustion engine and for all cylinders.
