Portable mass airflow training module for internal combustion engines
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11960309B2) discloses a MAF control appliance designed to simulate an engine control module of a motor vehicle. The appliance includes a throttle control for positioning a throttle control valve, a sensor logic for interpreting data from a MAF sensor, hardware processors for signal processing, a user interface logic for displaying signals on an electronic device, and a memory. The sensor logic is equipped with modules to receive electronic signals from the MAF sensor and interpret them in terms of physical quantities such as mass airflow, throttle position, air velocity, differential air pressure, and filter air velocity.
Furthermore, the patent describes a throttle control system within the appliance that includes components like a frequency generator, duty cycle modulator, throttle controller, position feedback, and PID controller. The PID controller generates input signals to the duty cycle modulator based on the variance between actual and desired throttle positions, enabling the system to supply electric power to a motor for adjusting the throttle control valve. Additionally, the patent details an apparatus for simulating an air intake system of an internal combustion engine, featuring components like a filter-housing, in-line blower, throttle valve, differential pressure sensor, and air velocity sensor. The differential pressure sensor measures air pressure differences, while the air velocity sensor gauges airflow speed through the air filter, enhancing the simulation of an engine's air intake system.
