Abstract

See full text

A knock determination apparatus for an internal combustion engine calculates a knock intensity based on an output signal of an in-cylinder pressure sensor in a gate range for knock determination. When the calculated knock intensity is larger than a knock determination threshold value, the knock determination apparatus determines that knock has occurred. Further, the knock determination apparatus calculates an integrated intensity which is an integrated value of knock intensities that are equal to or larger than a knock intensity at a point of 97% or more in a target knock level among knock intensities that are calculated at the respective cycles during continuous N cycles in the same cylinder. Furthermore, the knock determination apparatus corrects a knock determination threshold value so that the difference between the calculated integrated intensity and a target integrated intensity becomes small.
