Title of Invention

"AN ENGINE STOPPING /STARTING CONTROL SYSTEM"

Abstract

[object] To provide a vehicle including an engine stopping/starting control unit, in which a head lamp is usually kept as turned on, characterized in that the accelerating performance is improved. [Solving Means] When a throttle is opened (a throttle switch in the OFF state is turned on) under a condition with the vehicular speed of 0 km and a specific rotational number or less, such a state is regarded as a vehicle moving operation and a charging voltage is reduced from 14.5 V to 12.0 V for a specific period of time.

[object] To provide a vehicle including an engine stopping/starting control unit, in which a head lamp is usually kept as turned on, characterized in that the accelerating performance is improved. [Solving Means] When a throttle is opened (a throttle switch in the OFF state is turned on) under a condition with the vehicular speed of 0 km and a specific rotational number or less, such a state is regarded as a vehicle moving operation and a charging voltage is reduced from 14.5 V to 12.0 V for a specific period of time. We Claim: 1. An engine stopping/starting control system for a vehicle for interrupting, during running, ignition control of an engine under a specific vehicle stopping condition and re-starting, after interruption, the ignition control of said engine in response to a specific vehicle moving operation, said engine stopping/starting control system characterized in that: a generator driven by said engine; a battery charged by said generator; a vehicle moving operation detecting means for detecting a vehicle moving operation upon said stoppage of said vehicle; and a charging limiting means included in engine starting and stopping control for limiting charging from said generator into said battery for a specific period of time if it detects said vehicle moving operation. 2. An engine stopping/starting control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein generator is connected with an accelerating operation detecting means for detecting an accelerating operation performed by a driver during running. 3. An engine stopping/starting control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said generator is connected with a regulator for controlling the voltage outputted from said generator to a charging voltage and supplying the charging voltage to said battery. 4. An engine stopping/starting control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said battery is connected with switching means for controlling the supply of a power to a head lamp of said vehicle; and a head lamp control means for controlling opening/closing of said switching means. 5. An engine stopping/starting control system as claimed in claim 1, wherein, said charging limiting means is included in the engine stoping/vehicle moving mode. 6. An engine stopping/starting control system for a vehicle substantially as herein described with reference to and as illustrated in the foregoing description and the accompanying drawings.
