Description

Method and apparatus for running exhaust gas probe
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method for being used to run the exhaust gas probe in the exhaust piping of internal combustion engine, wherein, it is described Exhaust gas probe has at least one heating element heater, for reaching the nominal temperature of the measuring chamber in the exhaust gas probe, and And in order to stablize the temperature of the measuring chamber to adjust heating power, and determine one by the electric wiring of the measuring chamber Detector voltage.
The invention further relates to a kind of apparatus for implementing the method.
Background technology
In order to reduce the discharge in the automobile with petrol engine, generally use ternary catalyzing unit fills as waste gas purification Put, it only when air-fuel ratio λ is adjusted with high accuracy, just changes enough waste gas.Therefore, it is located at by one Exhaust gas probe before the waste gas purification apparatus measures the air-fuel ratio λ.The pin of such waste gas purification apparatus The storage capacity of oxygen is used in and receives oxygen in the thin stage and is released again in the dense stage.It is achieved in , the oxidable pernicious gas composition of waste gas can be changed.Exhaust gas probe after the waste gas purification apparatus exists It is used for the oxygen storage capacity for monitoring the waste gas purification apparatus in the case of this.The oxygen storage capacity must be in OBD (OBD)Scope in be monitored because it shows a kind of chi of the transfer capability for the waste gas purification apparatus Degree.In order to determine the oxygen storage capacity, otherwise the waste gas purification apparatus is added in a thin stage with oxygen first Carry and then in a dense stage with one in the offgas known lambda value considering the situation of walked exhausted air quantity Under emptied, or by the waste gas purification apparatus first in a dense stage by oxygen empty and it is then thin one In stage with one in the offgas known lambda value be filled in the case where considering the exhausted air quantity walked.When positioned at described It is described dilute when exhaust gas probe after waste gas purification apparatus detects the oxygen that can not be stored again by the waste gas purification apparatus The thin stage terminates.Similarly, when the exhaust gas probe, which detects dense waste gas, walks, a dense stage is terminated.It is described The oxygen storage capacity of waste gas purification apparatus is corresponded to during the dense stage for the reducing agent for being emptied and being supplied Amount in other words during the thin stage for the amount of oxygen for being filled and supplying.Accurately amount is from useless positioned above Calculated in the signal of gas detector and the exhaust mass stream tried to achieve from other sensor signals.
As exhaust gas probe, lambda detector is used in present motor control system.In the case, exist A kind of lasting detector or also cry is distinguish between broadband lambda detector and a kind of two point form lambda sensor. Lambda detector is based on an oxygen concentration cell with solid electrolyte.The solid electrolyte is typically at about 350 DEG C Activationary temperature in the case of become to be conductive for oxonium ion.The nominal temperature of the detector is generally significantly higher, Typically lie between 650 DEG C and 850 DEG C.The lambda detector ready for operation and meet a motor control system The temperature in the case of requirement in system is between the activationary temperature and the nominal temperature of the detector.According to existing skill The broadband lambda detector and its structure of art are for example described in the A1 of DE 10 2,008 042 268.
Once the detector ready for operation, then the detector signal can be used for regulation and diagnostic purpose.Especially It is that the detector that only in this way can just utilize ready for operation activates the lambda regulation.Because the La Mu of activation The reduction of discharge of poisonous waste is result in up to regulation, therefore the ready for operation state of the lambda detector is as fast as possible Fastly reach after motor starts.
For this reason, the detector is generally by electrical heating on one's own initiative.The lambda detector has for this purpose One electrical heating elements, it is manipulated by a controller.It is typically a kind of that there is an integrated platinum heating element heater made of zirconium oxide Sensor element.
The detector heating is generally manipulated as follows so that the nominal ceramic temperature is as far as possible consistently And independently occur with service condition.The stabilization of ceramic temperature is for the detector signal, that is detector It is conclusive for voltage or the accuracy of the lambda signal and the quality of lambda regulation, the stabilization is again With directly affecting for fuel consumption and discharge of poisonous waste.
Certainly the deviation of actual ceramic temperature and the nominal temperature can not be usually avoided in practice, such as detecting The high-temperature heating of device(Hochheizen)In the case of, with the dynamic of high exhaust mass stream and EGT gradient In the case of running operation or the ceramic temperature it is purposive be raised and lowered in the case of.This and mark Claim the deviation of temperature to distort the detector signal and the fuel consumption improved and the discharge improved may be caused.
The distortion of the detector signal is produced by two material impacts:On the one hand the energy of detector not connected up this Special voltage is related to temperature.On the other hand generally for the identification detector ready for operation state and for examining Used by disconnected purpose, the electric wiring of detector result in measured detector voltage and the detector and temperature phase The correlation of the internal resistance of pass.Therefore, value, such as lambda value are equally and temperature phase derived from measured detector voltage Close.
The content of the invention
Therefore the task of the present invention is, proposes a kind of method, can be provided using this method a kind of warm with the ceramics Spend unrelated detector signal.
The task of the present invention also resides in, and proposes a kind of corresponding apparatus for carrying out this method.
Being related to this method of the task solves in the following way, that is, generates the temperature independent defeated of the exhaust gas probe Go out signal, wherein, counted in the first step by the detector internal resistance of measured detector voltage and the measuring chamber Calculate the energy nernst voltage that can occur on the premise of no electric wiring of the measuring chamber, and in the second step will be from The energy nernst voltage drawn in first step is converted into the energy nernst voltage in the case of nominal temperature, wherein, if described The deviation very little of the temperature of measuring chamber and the nominal temperature, then directly this spy of energy of the determination in the case of nominal temperature is electric Pressure.The temperature independent output signal of the exhaust gas probe do not distorted in the following operation phase yet for use, In these operation phase, the actual ceramic temperature of the measuring chamber and the nominal temperature have deviation.In dynamic traveling fortune In the case of row or in the case of detector heating described in inaccurately regulation or pre-control, the ceramic temperature and the mark The deviation of temperature is claimed not influence the output signal according to the present invention of the detector.In the case, in order to stablize the survey The temperature of room is measured, generally adjusts the heating power.But the regulation is not Compulsory Feature.Completely it is contemplated that only described spy Survey the pre-control of device heating.When the exhaust gas probe may be heated only via the waste gas of heating, this method even can be with The exhaust gas probe of electric heater is used without to apply.
Can be arranged in the case, electric wiring output end with one analog to digital-converter(ADC)Shape Formula determines detector voltage.In the case, the output voltage of the parallel circuit of two voltage sources is measured, that is, it is reverse to produce one Voltage and the voltage source being integrated in a control unit, and the voltage source of the measuring chamber of the exhaust gas probe.By ADC The signal of the exhaust gas probe can be converted into corresponding data signal to further handle.
When the energy nernst voltage drawn from first step to the conversion of the energy nernst voltage in the case of nominal temperature During by a calculation formula or by one or more characteristic curves to implement, relatively small implementation cost is obtained.Borrow Characteristic curve is helped to show more complicated association functionally, if necessary under the different service conditions of internal combustion engine Association functionally and calculate when pay attention to.
In the case, a kind of preferable method modification is, the exhaust gas probe according to foregoing claim The output signal corrected is used for lambda and determines and/or adjusted for lambda.Therefore it can realize and more accurately draw nurse Up to regulation.Therefore the on-condition of the lambda regulation less can be designed limitedly.Therefore, lambda regulation can be with More frequently enter line activating, this helps to reduce fuel consumption and discharge of poisonous waste.The ceramic temperature for example for examining The output signal for not influenceing the detector is raised and lowered in the purposive of disconnected purpose.Thus also it can improve or improve The quality and activation frequency of the lambda regulation.
In the case, the corrected output signal of the exhaust gas probe is especially in the height of the exhaust gas probe Temperature be heated to reaching the nominal temperature before in the case of use, thus, it is possible to realize swashing in advance for the lambda regulation It is living.
In a kind of preferable method modification, using broadband lambda detector or two point form lambda detector as useless Gas detector, it has corresponding heating element heater.It is of special importance that it is in order to optimal in the case of the exhaust gas probe Function is particularly rapidly heated at high temperature in its optimal running temperature.It can be arranged in the case, in internal combustion engine Each in the lambda detector built in exhaust steam passage is transported with the modifications of the method introduced and these methods OK.This method may apply to other exhaust gas probes with the output signal related to temperature in principle(Such as NOx- Sensor)Or on gas sensor.Such gas sensor can also be built in other positions, such as in air inlet pipe In road.Especially with TSP protective layers(Thermal shock protection)Exhaust gas probe in the case of, can utilize according to the present invention Method realize that the cold discharge of internal combustion engine greatly reduces.
The purpose for being related to described device solves in the following way, i.e. the controller for motor of described control unit or higher level With the method and its computing unit of modification for implementing to describe before, the waste gas can be generated using the computing unit The temperature independent output signal of detector.In the case, described control unit can be the higher level together with its part Controller for motor integrated part.In the case, the functional characteristic of methods described can at least part ground Implement in the controller for motor of described control unit or higher level in software.
Implement modification a kind of preferable, the controller for motor of described control unit or the higher level have one or Multiple indicatrix memories, can be from the measuring chamber before no electric wiring using the indicatrix memory Put the energy nernst voltage determined in the energy nernst voltage that can occur in the case of the nominal temperature.Therefore even in multiple Value can also be conversed in the case of miscellaneous association on the premise of without bigger implementation cost.Furthermore it is possible to given up with described The running status of gas detector and/or the internal combustion engine is stored in relation to different characteristic curves, and these characteristic curves can be used In being calculated.
