Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum gesteuerten Entlüften eines Fahrzeug-Kraftstofftanks, in welchem ein Überdruck herrschen kann, in Abhängigkeit von zumindest einer aktuellen oder vorhersehbaren Randbedingung. Zum Stand der Technik wird neben der
Bekanntlich müssen Kraftstofftanks von Kraftfahrzeugen zumindest gelegentlich belüftet werden, da es insbesondere bei stärkerer Erwärmung des im Tank befindlichen Kraftstoffs zur Ausgasung flüchtiger Kraftstoffbestandteile kommen kann, die jedoch nicht in die Umgebung gelangen sollen. Daher erfolgt die Belüftung über einen Zwischenspeicher, aus dem bei Vorliegen geeigneter Randbedingungen die zwischengespeicherten Kraftstoffbestandteile einem zumeist als Antriebsaggregat fungierenden Verbrennungsmotor des Kraftfahrzeugs (als Verbraucher des im Tank gespeicherten Kraftstoffs) zur Verbrennung zugeführt wird. Diese Technologie der Zwischenspeicherung flüchtiger Kraftstoff-Bestandteile bei Kraftfahrzeugen zumeist in sog. Aktivkohlefiltern ist dem Fachmann hinreichend bekannt. Bekanntlich müssen solche Aktivkohlefilter oder Zwischenspeicher immer wieder gespült werden, um ein sog. „Durchbrechen”, mit welchem die im Tank des Kraftfahrzeugs verdunstenden und im Aktivkohlefilter zwischengespeicherten flüchtigen Kraftstoffbestandteile unverbrannt in die Umgebung gelangen würden, zu vermeiden. Da ein Spülen des Zwischenspeichers für den Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors unter gewissen Randbedingungen ungünstig sein kann, können für die Einleitung bzw. Durchführung eines solchen Spül-Vorganges verschiedene Randbedingungen berücksichtigt werden. Hierzu wird beispielshalber auf die oben erstgenannte
In der oben weiterhin genannten
Zurückkommend auf die genannte
In Kenntnis der vorteilhaften Auswirkungen eines in einem Kraftstofftank eines Kraftfahrzeugs herrschenden Überdrucks, der selbstverständlich in seiner Höhe durch die nur bis zu einer gewissen Grenze unter vertretbarem Einsatz darstellbaren Druckbeständigkeit des Tanks begrenzt ist, soll hiermit aufgezeigt werden, wann ein Entlüften eines Fahrzeug-Kraftstofftanks, in welchem ein Überdruck herrschen kann, besonders vorteilhaft ist, um eine elektronische Steuereinrichtung, die dann ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren zum gesteuerten Entlüften umsetzt, geeignet auslegen bzw. programmieren zu können (= Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung).In view of the advantageous effects of a pressure prevailing in a fuel tank of a motor vehicle overpressure, which is of course limited in its height by the pressure resistance of the tank, which can only be demonstrated to a certain extent under reasonable pressure, it is intended to indicate when a venting of a vehicle fuel tank, in which an overpressure can prevail, is particularly advantageous in order to be able to interpret or program an electronic control device, which then implements a method according to the invention for controlled venting (= object of the present invention).
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind die Merkmale der unabhängigen Patentansprüche 1 oder 2 vorgeschlagen, denen der gemeinsame Gedanke zugrunde liegt, ein Entlüften des Tanks dann durchzuführen, wenn zeitlich kurz darauf folgend ein Aktivkohlefilter (allg. Zwischenspeicher für flüchtige Kraftstoffbestandteile), über den die Entlüftung durchgeführt wird, gespült werden kann.To solve this problem, the features of the independent claims 1 or 2 are proposed, which is based on the common idea to perform a venting of the tank when temporally shortly thereafter followed by an activated carbon filter (geng. Latch for volatile fuel components), carried out over the vent will, can be rinsed.
Die erste Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens betrifft die weiter oben bereits kurz beschriebenen Hybrid-Kraftfahrzeuge, welche neben einem aus dem Kraftstofftank versorgten verbrennungsmotorischen Antriebsaggregat („Verbrennungsmotor”) auch ein aus einem elektrischen Energiespeicher versorgtes elektromotorisches Antriebsaggregat aufweisen. Erfindungsgemäß wird nun bei alleinigem Betrieb des elektromotorischen Antriebsaggregats der Ladezustand des elektrischen Energiespeichers dahingehend berücksichtigt, dass ein Entlüften über den besagten Zwischenspeicher dann durchgeführt wird, wenn aufgrund eines niedrigen Ladezustands des elektrischen Energiespeichers eine Inbetriebnahme des verbrennungsmotorischen Antriebsaggregats, während derer ein Spülen des Zwischenspeichers möglich ist, vorhersehbar ist. In anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird also überprüft, ob kurzfristig vom elektromotorischen Antrieb auf den Antrieb durch den Verbrennungsmotor umgeschaltet und dieser somit gestartet werden muss, weil der elektrische Energiespeicher nahezu entleert ist. Bejahendenfalls wird dann der Kraftstofftank entlüftet, da mit einer Inbetriebnahme des Verbrennungsmotors, die zeitlich durchaus äußerst begrenzt sein kann, der Aktivkohlefilter/Zwischenspeicher wieder gespült werden kann. Ein Ziel ist es somit, den Zwischenspeicher über möglichst lange Zeiträume in möglichst geringem Umfang mit flüchtigen Kraftstoffbestandteilen zu beaufschlagen bzw. beaufschlagt zu halten.The first embodiment of a method according to the invention relates to the hybrid motor vehicles already briefly described above, which in addition to a supplied from the fuel tank internal combustion engine drive unit ("internal combustion engine") also have a supplied from an electrical energy storage electric motor drive unit. According to the invention, the state of charge of the electrical energy storage device is taken into account in the sole operation of the electromotive drive unit to the effect that venting via the said temporary storage device is then carried out if, due to a low charge State of charge of the electrical energy storage a commissioning of the internal combustion engine drive unit, during which a flushing of the buffer is possible, is predictable. In other words, in other words, it is checked whether the electromotive drive has switched over to the drive by the internal combustion engine for a short time and thus has to be started because the electrical energy store has almost been emptied. If yes, then the fuel tank is vented, as with a commissioning of the engine, which can be extremely limited in time, the activated carbon filter / cache can be rinsed again. A goal is thus to apply to the cache for as long periods as possible to a minimum extent with volatile fuel components or charged.
Eine zweite Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens betrifft beliebige Kraftfahrzeuge mit einem sog. „Drucktank”, in welchem Überdruck herrschen kann, sowie mit einem Entlüftungssystem dieses Kraftstofftanks, in dem ein Zwischenspeicher für flüchtige Kraftstoffbestandteile vorgesehen ist. Weiterhin ist das Kraftfahrzeug mit einem Navigationssystem oder dergleichen ausgerüstet, welches eine vorausliegende Fahrtstrecke des Fahrzeugs kennt. Beim Navigationssystem für die vorliegende Erfindung muss es sich jedoch nicht um ein satellitenunterstütztes Positionsbestimmungssystem handeln, sondern allgemein um ein geeignetes System bzw. eine elektronische Steuereinheit, welches bzw. welche eine vorausliegende Fahrtstrecke des Fahrzeugs kennt. Beispielsweise kann eine vorausliegende Fahrtstrecke auch aus sich wiederholenden „Verhaltensmustern” abgeleitet werden, wenn beispielsweise das Fahrzeug vom Fahrer immer werktags frühmorgens sowie zum Feierabend auf einer im wesentlichen gleichen Fahrtstrecke bewegt wird. Übliche Navigationssysteme, in denen das Straßennetz hinterlegt ist und bei welchen der Fahrer direkt oder indirekt ein Ziel eingeben kann, welches er ausgehend von seiner aktuellen Position erreichen bzw. anfahren möchte, woraufhin das Navigationssystem eine geeignete Fahrtstrecke vorschlägt, werden selbstverständlich auch vom Begriff „Navigationssystem oder dergleichen” umfasst.A second embodiment of a method according to the invention relates to any motor vehicle with a so-called "pressure tank", in which overpressure can prevail, as well as with a ventilation system of this fuel tank, in which a buffer for volatile fuel constituents is provided. Furthermore, the motor vehicle is equipped with a navigation system or the like, which knows a route ahead of the vehicle. However, the navigation system for the present invention need not be a satellite-assisted positioning system, but generally a suitable system or electronic control unit that knows a vehicle ahead route. For example, a route ahead may also be derived from repetitive "behavioral patterns", for example, if the vehicle is moved by the driver every working day early in the morning and at the end of the workday on a substantially identical route. Conventional navigation systems in which the road network is stored and in which the driver can directly or indirectly enter a destination, which he would like to reach or start from his current position, whereupon the navigation system proposes a suitable route, are of course the term "navigation system or the like ".
Erfindungsgemäß wird (nach der zweiten Ausführungsform) ein Entlüften dann durchgeführt, wenn die Art der vorausliegenden Fahrtstrecke ein Spülen des Zwischenspeichers erlaubt. In anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird also überprüft, ob kurzfristig der Zwischenspeicher gespült werden kann, weil der Verbrennungsmotor in für einen Spülvorgang günstigen Betriebspunkten betrieben werden wird oder weil aufgrund einer anderen anhand der vorausliegenden Fahrtstrecke vorhersehbaren Randbedingung ein Spülen des Zwischenspeichers vorhersehbar durchgeführt werden kann. Insbesondere kann dabei von bzw. in einer elektronischen Steuereinheit berücksichtigt werden, welcher Art die vorausliegende, d. h. demnächst zu befahrende Fahrtstrecke des Kraftfahrzeugs ist, vorzugsweise unter Berücksichtigung der und im Vergleich zur aktuellen Art der Fahrstecke. Diese elektronische Steuereinheit steuert daraufhin ein geeignetes Tankentlüftungsventil oder dgl. geeignet an, welches eine Verbindung zwischen dem Kraftstofftank über den Zwischenspeicher zur Umgebung herstellt (oder verhindert). Eine günstige oder optimierte Belüftungs-Strategie wird von einer elektronischen Steuereinheit somit dahingehend ausgelegt, dass einerseits ein Durchbrechen des Zwischenspeichers so weit als möglich verhindert wird und dass andererseits ein vorhersehbarer Betriebszustand des Verbrennungsmotors durch den Spülvorgang so wenig als möglich beeinträchtigt wird.According to the invention (according to the second embodiment) a venting is carried out when the type of the preceding route allows flushing of the buffer. In other words, therefore, it is checked whether the buffer can be flushed in the short term because the internal combustion engine will be operated in operating points favorable for a flushing operation or because a flushing of the buffer can be predictably carried out on the basis of another boundary condition which can be anticipated based on the distance traveled ahead. In particular, it can be taken into account by or in an electronic control unit, which type of the preceding, d. H. Coming soon driving distance of the motor vehicle is, preferably taking into account the and compared to the current type of driving. This electronic control unit then controls a suitable tank vent valve or the like. Suitably, which establishes (or prevents) a connection between the fuel tank via the buffer to the environment. An advantageous or optimized ventilation strategy is thus designed by an electronic control unit such that, on the one hand, a break-through of the buffer is prevented as far as possible and, on the other hand, a foreseeable operating state of the internal combustion engine is impaired as little as possible by the flushing process.
Beispielsweise kann bei Fahrten auf einer Autobahn, wenn der Verbrennungsmotor höher belastet ist, der Zwischenspeicher für flüchtige Kraftstoffbestandteile optimal gespült werden. Gleiches gilt (in etwas abgeschwächter Form) allgemein für Überlandfahrten, d. h. wenn das Kraftfahrzeug außerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften bewegt wird. Im Stadtverkehr hingegen kann aufgrund der dort erfolgenden vielen Lastwechsel des Verbrennungsmotors ein Spülen des Zwischenspeichers zu Beeinträchtigungen eines ruhigen und gleichmäßigen Laufs des Verbrennungsmotors führen. Demzufolge kann vorgesehen sein, dass bezüglich der Art der vorausliegenden Fahrtstrecke zwischen Fahrten außerhalb und innerhalb geschlossener Ortschaften unterschieden wird, und dass bei einer Fahrt außerhalb einer Ortschaft (als „aktuelle Fahrtstrecke”) zeitlich kurz vor einer vorhersehbaren Einfahrt in eine Ortschaft (als „vorausliegende Fahrtstrecke”) in einem ersten Schritt der Kraftstofftank entlüftet und in einem darauf folgenden zweiten Schritt der Zwischenspeicher noch vollständig gespült wird, bevor in eine Ortschaft eingefahren wird. Dass eine Einfahrt in eine Ortschaft bevorsteht, kann dabei mit einem elektronischen Navigationssystem, welches die aktuelle Position des Fahrzeugs und die bevorstehende Fahrtstrecke beispielsweise anhand einer zuvor vom Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeugs eingegebenen Zielangabe kennt, einfach festgestellt werden.For example, when driving on a highway, when the internal combustion engine is more heavily loaded, the volatile fuel storage buffer can be optimally purged. The same applies (in a somewhat weakened form) in general for cross-country journeys, d. H. when the motor vehicle is moved outside closed villages. On the other hand, in city traffic, due to the many load changes of the internal combustion engine taking place there, flushing of the intermediate storage unit can impair the smooth and even running of the internal combustion engine. Accordingly, it can be provided that with respect to the nature of the route ahead, a distinction is made between trips outside and within closed towns, and that when driving outside a village (as "current route") shortly before a foreseeable entrance to a village (as Travel distance ") is vented in a first step, the fuel tank and still completely rinsed in a subsequent second step, the buffer before being moved into a locality. The fact that an entry into a village is imminent can easily be ascertained with an electronic navigation system which knows the current position of the vehicle and the upcoming route, for example by means of a destination input previously entered by the driver of the motor vehicle.
Praktisch gleiches wie für Fahrten außerhalb oder innerhalb von Ortschaften gilt, wenn eine Unterscheidung hinsichtlich des Konstantfahrt-Anteils von Fahrtstrecken getroffen wird. Als Konstantfahrt wird ein Fahrzustand bezeichnet, bei welchem keine signifikanten Laständerungen des Verbrennungsmotors und insbesondere keine signifikante Lastrücknahme erfolgen bzw. erfolgt, d. h. wenn das Fahrzeug angetrieben durch den Verbrennungsmotor im wesentlichen mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit bewegt wird. Ein niedriger Konstantfahrt-Anteil zeichnet sich folglich durch stark wechselnde Fahrgeschwindigkeiten aus und ist für einen Spülvorgang des Zwischenspeichers weit weniger gut geeignet (und daher soweit als möglich zu vermeiden) als eine Fahrtstrecke mit hohem Konstantfahrt-Anteil, auf welcher vorzugsweise ein Spülvorgang durchgeführt wird. Insbesondere kann in diesem Sinne zwischen freier Fahrt und Stop-and-Go-Verkehr unterschieden werden, wobei im Stop-and-Go-Verkehr ein Spülen solange als möglich vermieden und vorzugsweise immer dann durchgeführt wird, wenn unter Auswertung der geeigneten Daten eines Navigationssystem oder dgl. durch eine elektronische Steuereinheit eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine freie Fahrt festgestellt wird. Ob eine freie Fahrt oder „Stop-and-Go-Verkehr” (d. h. Kolonnenverkehr im Stau) zu erwarten ist, kann mit modernen Navigationssystemen, die weiterhin Informationen über bevorstehende Verkehrsstaus bzw. die Verkehrsdichte allgemein erhalten, einfach festgestellt werden und daraufhin zunächst der Tank geeignet entlüftet oder nicht entlüftet werden, um im Falle eines Entlüftens daraufhin den Zwischenspeicher problemlos spülen zu können.Practically the same as for journeys outside or within localities applies, if a distinction is made with regard to the constant-running part of journeys. Constant travel is a driving state in which no significant load changes of the internal combustion engine and, in particular, no significant load reduction takes place or takes place, ie when the vehicle is driven by the internal combustion engine at a substantially constant speed. A low cruise share is emerging Consequently, by rapidly changing speeds and is far less suitable for a flushing process of the buffer (and therefore to avoid as far as possible) as a route with a high constant-rate share, on which preferably a rinsing process is performed. In particular, a distinction between free travel and stop-and-go traffic can be distinguished in this sense, with purging being avoided as long as possible in the stop-and-go traffic and preferably always carried out when evaluated by evaluating the appropriate data of a navigation system or Like. By an electronic control unit, a high probability of a free ride is detected. Whether a free ride or "stop-and-go traffic" (ie column traffic in traffic jams) is expected, can be easily determined with modern navigation systems, which continue to receive information about impending traffic congestion or traffic density and then first the tank be properly vented or not vented to then flush the buffer in case of venting can.
Weiterhin kann bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Tankentlüftungssystem vorgesehen sein, dass vor einer vorhersehbaren Bergauffahrt ein Entlüften des Tanks durchgeführt wird, da bei einer Bergauffahrt aufgrund des abnehmenden Umgebungs-Luftdrucks eine verstärkte Kraftstoff-Ausgang im Kraftstofftank zu erwarten ist. Folglich wird angestrebt, den Tank vor Beginn der Bergauffahrt auf Umgebungsdruck zu halten, so dass im weiteren wieder ein Druckaufbau erfolgen kann.Furthermore, it can be provided in a tank ventilation system according to the invention that a venting of the tank is carried out before a predictable uphill, as in an uphill due to the decreasing ambient air pressure, an increased fuel output is expected in the fuel tank. Consequently, the aim is to keep the tank at ambient pressure before the start of the uphill drive, so that further pressure can build up again.
Den konkreten Fall einer Bergfahrt verallgemeinernd kann ein erfindungsgemäßes Verfahren als weitere Randbedingung die Höhenlage über Meeresspiegel und/oder die Umgebungstemperatur berücksichtigen, da beide Größen die Ausgasungs-Neigung des im Tank befindlichen Kraftstoffs beeinflussen. Bei geringerer Ausgasungs-Neigung kann im Kraftstofftank bedenkenlos ein Überdruck gehalten werden, während bei höherer Ausgangs-Neigung sicherheitshalber ein Entlüften erfolgen sollte, solange dies unter weiterer Berücksichtigung des Speichervermögens des Zwischenspeichers möglich ist. Dessen Speichervermögen ist dann besonders hoch, wenn dieser aufgrund der vorausliegenden Fahrtstrecke vorhersehbar kurzfristig gespült werden kann. Als weitere Randbedingung für die Durchführung eines Entlüftens des Tanks kann ferner direkt der Beladungszustand des Zwischenspeichers berücksichtigt werden, wenn dieser auf eine geeignete Weise ermittelt wird. Beispielsweise sind dem Fachmann diverse Verfahren zum Messen des Beladungszustands eines Aktivkohlefilters bekannt; alternativ kann dessen Beladungszustand aber auch geschätzt werden.Generalizing the concrete case of uphill travel, a method according to the invention can consider, as a further boundary condition, the altitude above sea level and / or the ambient temperature, since both variables influence the outgassing tendency of the fuel in the tank. At a lower outgassing tendency, an overpressure can be held without hesitation in the fuel tank, while venting should take place at a higher output inclination for safety reasons, as long as this is possible with further consideration of the storage capacity of the intermediate store. Its storage capacity is particularly high when it can be reasonably quickly flushed due to the route ahead. As a further boundary condition for carrying out venting of the tank, the loading state of the buffer can also be taken into account directly if this is determined in a suitable manner. For example, various methods for measuring the loading state of an activated carbon filter are known to those skilled in the art; Alternatively, its load condition can also be estimated.
