Abstract

A method for determining a correction value for a fuel metering of a fuel injector is described, wherein fuel is injected from a high-pressure reservoir into a combustion chamber by means of the fuel injector, wherein a value is determined which represents a static flow rate through the fuel injector, wherein, during at least one injection event of the fuel injector, a ratio of a pressure difference occurring in the high-pressure reservoir as a result of the injection event to an associated duration which characterizes the injection event is determined. The first correction value for control is found at a low learning speed and the second correction value is found at a high learning speed.

Description

Method for determining a correction value for a fuel metering of a fuel injector
Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for determining a correction value for a fuel metering of a fuel injector by means of which fuel is injected from a high-pressure accumulator into a combustion chamber.
Background
In motor vehicles, very strict limit values are applied in part with regard to the emissions of harmful substances to be observed. In order to comply with current and, in particular, also future emissions or exhaust gas limits, precise metering of fuel, in particular during injection, is crucial.
It should be taken into account here that different tolerances occur during the metering. Such dosing tolerances are typically caused by sample-dependent needle dynamics and sample-dependent static flow rates of the fuel injector. For example, the influence of the needle dynamics can be reduced by mechatronics solutions, such as for example the so-called Control Valve Operation (CVO). In CVO, the actuation time of the fuel injector is adjusted in the sense of regulation, for example over the service life of the motor vehicle. In this case, during the injection, the actuation signal is detected and the opening duration of the valve needle is determined in parallel from the opening and closing times. The actual opening duration of the fuel injector can thus be calculated and readjusted if necessary. DE 102009002593 a1 describes such a method for adjusting the actual opening duration of a valve to a setpoint opening duration.
The error in the static flow rate is caused by tolerances in the geometry of the fuel injector, in particular tolerances in the injection holes of the fuel injector and tolerances in the needle travel. Such errors can hitherto mostly only be corrected globally, that is to say in common for all fuel injectors of the internal combustion engine, for example on the basis of a lambda control or a mixture adaptation.
Furthermore, DE 102015205877 a1 discloses a method by means of which it can be detected whether individual fuel injectors of an internal combustion engine have a deviation in their static flow rate. The ratio between the injected quantity and the opening duration of the injector is referred to as the static flow rate.
The method described in DE 102015205877 a1 is based on the evaluation of rail pressure disturbances during injection. For this purpose, a correction value for the injection is calculated with the aid of the rail pressure disturbance of the individual injections. Here, the correction value is continuously calculated. The learning speed for the correction coefficient decreases as the number of measurement values increases until it converges to a slow level. However, in the case of an injector change or a sudden change in the static flow rate, it is necessary to perform a rapid relearning (Nachlernen) of the correction values.
Disclosure of Invention
According to the invention, a method having the features of claim 1 is proposed. Advantageous embodiments are the subject matter of the dependent claims and the following description.
The present invention is advantageous in that, in a method for determining a correction value for a fuel metering of a fuel injector, a ratio between a pressure difference occurring in a high-pressure accumulator as a result of an injection event and a characteristic duration of the associated injection event is determined during at least one injection event of the fuel injector, wherein a first correction value for the control is determined at a low learning rate and a second correction value is determined at a high learning rate. Due to this procedure, two correction values are available, wherein the first correction value has a high accuracy and ensures a high accuracy of the fuel metering. By means of the second correction value, which has a low accuracy but reacts quickly to changing conditions, errors in the range of the first correction value can be reliably identified.
It is particularly advantageous if an error is detected if the first correction value and the second correction value deviate from one another.
The high accuracy of the first correction value results from the fact that the first correction value for controlling is determined by a large number of representative values. Preferably, for determining the first correction value, an average value is formed over a large number of representative values.
Since the second correction value is determined over a small number of representative values, it is possible to reliably detect an error that occurs suddenly and to initialize a rapid adaptation to the first correction value. For this purpose, the learning speed for determining the first correction value is increased in a particularly advantageous manner if the first correction value and the second correction value deviate from one another. This can be achieved, for example, by: an average is only formed over a significantly smaller number of representative values.
In order to detect a possible replacement of the fuel injector or the installation of one or more new fuel injectors, the second correction value is determined after the internal combustion engine has started.
In a further aspect, the invention relates to a new program code together with processing instructions for programming a computer program that is executable on a controller, in particular source code with compiling and/or linking instructions, wherein the program code generates a computer program for carrying out all the steps of one of the described methods if the program code is converted into an executable computer program, i.e. in particular compiled and/or linked, according to the processing instructions. Such program code can be given, in particular, by source code, which can be downloaded, for example, from a server in the internet.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 schematically shows an internal combustion engine 100, which is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention. The internal combustion engine 100 comprises, as an example, three combustion chambers or associated cylinders 105. Each combustion chamber 105 is assigned a fuel injector 130, which is in turn connected to a high-pressure accumulator 120, respectively a so-called rail, through which fuel is supplied to the fuel injector. It goes without saying that the method according to the invention can also be implemented in internal combustion engines having any other number of cylinders, for example four, six, eight or twelve cylinders.
Further, the high-pressure reservoir is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank 140 by a high-pressure pump 110. The high-pressure pump 110 is coupled to the internal combustion engine 100 and, more precisely, for example, such that it is driven by the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine or by a camshaft, which is in turn coupled to the crankshaft.
The fuel injectors 130 for metering fuel into the respective combustion chambers 105 are actuated by a computing unit embodied as a motor controller 180. For simplicity, only connections from the motor controller 180 to the fuel injectors 130 are shown, although it is understood that each fuel injector 130 is correspondingly connected to the motor controller. Each fuel injector 130 can be specifically controlled. Furthermore, motor controller 130 is designed to detect the fuel pressure in high-pressure accumulator 120 by means of pressure sensor 190.
The process according to the invention is shown in more detail in fig. 2. Elements already shown in fig. 1 are denoted by corresponding reference numerals. The pressure sensor 190 provides a signal P to a first adapter 200. The first adapter supplies the first correction value K1 to the control unit 210 which controls the fuel injector 130.
Furthermore, the signal P of the pressure sensor 190 reaches the second adapter 220, which also receives the signal S of the starter recognition 240. This second adapter 220 supplies the second correction value K2 to the checking unit 230. The test unit 230 also processes the output signal K1 of the first adapter 200. The verification unit 230 applies the trigger signal T to the first adapter 200 according to the result of the verification or comparison of the values K1 and K2.
The first adapter 200 continuously determines a first correction value K1 for each fuel injector 130. For this purpose, the rail pressure signal P is evaluated. The first correction value K1 is calculated starting from a rail pressure disturbance during injection into the respective fuel injector. The exact correction value K1 is determined by a plurality of measurements. This correction value K1 is then taken into account by the control unit 210 when calculating the control signals for the respective fuel injector. High accuracy is obtained by forming an average over a number of calculated correction values.
In the following, reference is made to the first correction value K1 and the second correction value K2. It is of course relevant here that the correction values for the operating points are correspondingly used here. Different first and second correction values are determined for a plurality of operating points.
After the first correction value K1 has been calculated for the first time after the assembly of the motor vehicle, the first correction value K1 is only tracked very slowly, since the fuel injectors typically change only very slowly over the service life.
This is based on the fact that: the first correction value is calculated only at relatively large time intervals or over a plurality of ascertained measured values. This first correction value K1 is determined, for example, by averaging a large number of measurement points, i.e., the injections. This means that the first correction value for controlling the fuel injector is found at a low learning speed.
However, in actual operation of the internal combustion engine, events may occur which lead to the occurrence of a drastic change in the static flow of one of the fuel injectors. This may be caused, for example, by installing new fuel injectors in the scope of maintenance or by fuel injectors becoming confused between the individual cylinders. Furthermore, the following may occur, namely: the sudden change in static flow rate is caused by impurities in the fuel deposited in the fuel injector. In these cases, it is necessary to immediately recalculate the first correction value K1 for operating the fuel injector.
According to the invention, it is now provided that a second adapter 220 is provided, which, in the same way as the first adapter 200, uses the pressure disturbance as a starting point to determine a second correction value K2. In this case, this second correction value K2 is determined continuously and/or averaged over a small number of measurement points, i.e. injections. This second correction value is found at a higher learning speed than the first correction value.
This second correction value is therefore available after a very short time. This second correction value K2 is compared with the first correction value K1 by the checking means 230. If these two values deviate significantly from each other, the checking means 230 sends a trigger signal T to the first adapter 200 in order for it to retrieve the adapted value.
The error suspicion function is implemented substantially in parallel with the common adapter 200. It is particularly advantageous if this error suspicion function is restarted in each driving cycle. This is triggered by the starter recognition mechanism 240. The learning speed of such error suspicion functions is at a very high level. That is, the second correction value K2 is found very quickly. This fast derived correction value is then compared with the slowly derived first correction value K1. If the difference between the two correction values exceeds a threshold value, the first adapter 200 is triggered accordingly, so that it carries out a fast relearning of the first correction value K1.
In particular, confusingly installed or new fuel injectors can thereby be reliably detected. This measure enables a quick learning of the correction value for correcting the static flow rate when the fuel injector is replaced.
If the second adapter 220 is activated only at start-up or at the beginning of a new driving cycle, only the replacement of the fuel injector can be detected. If this second adapter is permanently in operation, sudden changes in the static flow, for example caused by contamination, can also be detected.
