Abstract

Description
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Aus dem Stand der Technik, beispielsweise
Es ist auch bekannt, nach einem Start des Sensors oder der Brennkraftmaschine ein sehr starkes Beheizen des keramischen Sensorelements solange zu vermeiden, wie das Auftreten von flüssigem Wasser in dem Abgastrakt noch zu erwarten ist. Ein sogenannter Thermoschock des keramischen Sensorelements, der dieses schädigen kann, kann so vermieden werden.It is also known to avoid very strong heating of the ceramic sensor element after starting the sensor or the internal combustion engine as long as the occurrence of liquid water in the exhaust tract is still to be expected. A so-called thermal shock of the ceramic sensor element, which can damage it, can thus be avoided.
Dennoch kam es in der Vergangenheit bei dem Betrieb der Abgassensoren im Abgastrakt von Fahrzeugen noch sporadisch zu geschädigten Sensorelementen.In the past, however, the operation of the exhaust gas sensors in the exhaust tract of vehicles still sporadically damaged sensor elements.
Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention
Die Erfindung geht von dem Verständnis der Erfinder aus, dass es sich bei diesen Schädigungen um Frostschäden an dem keramischen Sensorelement handelt, die in Einzelfällen entstehen können. Die Erfindung geht weiter von der überraschenden Erkenntnis der Erfinder aus, dass ein relevanter Schädigungsmechanismus darin besteht, dass beim raschen Auftauen von gefrorenem Wasser auf der Oberfläche des Sensorelements oder in Poren des Sensorelements mechanische Spannungen in dem Sensorelement entstehen können, die es in Einzelfällen zu schädigen vermögen.The invention is based on the understanding of the inventors that this damage is frost damage to the ceramic sensor element, which can occur in individual cases. The invention is also based on the surprising finding of the inventors that a relevant damage mechanism is that when frozen water is thawed quickly on the surface of the sensor element or in pores of the sensor element, mechanical stresses can arise in the sensor element, which can damage it in individual cases capital.
Ausgehend von dem Verständnis dieses Schädigungsmechanismus wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, dass immer dann, wenn der Sensor oder die Brennkraftmaschine gestartet wird, zunächst die Temperatur des Sensorelements bestimmt wird und mit einem vorgegebenen Wert verglichen wird und in dem Fall, in dem die bestimmte Temperatur des Sensorelements über dem vorgegebenen Wert liegt, eine Beheizung des Sensorelements durch die elektrische Heizvorrichtung mit einer ersten Heizleistung erfolgt und in dem Fall, in dem die bestimmte Temperatur des Sensorelements unter dem vorgegebenen Wert liegt, eine Beheizung des Sensorelements durch die elektrische Heizvorrichtung zumindest für eine vorgegebene Mindestzeit mit einer zweiten Heizleistung erfolgt, die kleiner als die erste Heizleistung ist; oder eine Beheizung des Sensorelements durch die elektrische Heizvorrichtung zumindest für eine vorgegebene Mindestzeit gänzlich unterbleibt.Based on the understanding of this damage mechanism, it is proposed according to the invention that whenever the sensor or the internal combustion engine is started, the temperature of the sensor element is first determined and compared with a predetermined value, and in the event that the determined temperature of the sensor element exceeds the specified value, the sensor element is heated by the electrical heating device with a first heating power and, in the case in which the specific temperature of the sensor element is below the specified value, the sensor element is heated by the electrical heating device at least for a specified minimum time a second heating power takes place which is smaller than the first heating power; or heating of the sensor element by the electrical heating device is completely omitted, at least for a predetermined minimum time.
Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, dass Sensorelemente, die möglicherweise eingefroren sind, auf deren Oberfläche oder in deren Poren sich also möglicherweise gefrorenes Wasser befindet, nur so langsam erwärmt werden und ein Auftauen des gefrorenen Wassers so langsam erfolgt, dass lediglich so geringe mechanische Spannungen auftreten, dass dabei eine Schädigung des Sensorelements ausgeschlossen ist.This ensures that sensor elements that may be frozen, i.e. that may have frozen water on their surface or in their pores, are only heated so slowly and that the frozen water is thawed so slowly that only so low mechanical stresses occur that damage to the sensor element is excluded.
Nach Abwarten der Mindestzeit, die beispielsweise nicht weniger als 5s beträgt, kann das Verfahren neu gestartet werden, das heißt es wird wiederum die Temperatur des Sensorelements bestimmt und mit einem vorgegebenen Grenzwert verglichen und nur in dem Fall, indem die Grenztemperatur nunmehr überschritten ist, eine stärkere Beheizung vorgenommen, beispielsweise auf eine Temperatur von 150°C bis 250°C.After waiting for the minimum time, which is, for example, not less than 5s, the method can be restarted, that is, the temperature of the sensor element is again determined and compared with a predetermined limit value and only in the case in which the limit temperature is now exceeded, a stronger heating made, for example to a temperature of 150 ° C to 250 ° C.
Ist die Grenztemperatur immer noch nicht überschritten, kann weiterhin für die vorgegebene Mindestzeit mit der zweiten Heizleistung beheizt werden oder weiterhin eine Beheizung durch die elektrische Heizvorrichtung für die vorgegebene Mindestzeit unterbleiben. Dies kann solange wiederholt werden, bis eine vorgegebene Höchstdauer überschritten ist und/oder solange wiederholt werden, bis die bestimmte Temperatur über dem vorgegebenen Wert liegt.If the limit temperature is still not exceeded, the second heating power can continue to be heated for the specified minimum time, or heating by the electrical heating device can continue to be omitted for the specified minimum time. This can be repeated until a predetermined maximum duration is exceeded and / or repeated until the specific temperature is above the predetermined value.
Dabei kann das Überschreiten der Grenztemperatur eine Folge der Beheizung des Sensorelements durch die elektrische Heizvorrichtung mit der zweiten Heizleistung sein und/oder auf die Wechselwirkung mit einem warmen oder heißen Abgas zurückzuführen sein.Exceeding the limit temperature can be a consequence of the heating of the sensor element by the electrical heating device with the second heating power and / or can be attributed to the interaction with a warm or hot exhaust gas.
Grundsätzlich kommt als Grenztemperatur der Gefrierpunkt von Wasser, 0°C in Frage. Um Ungenauigkeiten der Messung vorwegzunehmen kann als Grenztemperatur auch ein Wert von nicht mehr als 5°C gewählt werden.Basically, the freezing point of water, 0 ° C, comes into consideration as the limit temperature. In order to anticipate inaccuracies in the measurement, a value of no more than 5 ° C can also be selected as the limit temperature.
Je nach Beschaffenheit des Sensorelements und seiner Oberfläche kann es auch sinnvoll sein, die Grenztemperatur unterhalb von 0°C zu wählen (beispielsweise nicht mehr als -5°C), da der Schädigungsmechanismus durch Oberflächen- oder Kapillareffekte auf diesen Bereich beschränkt sein kann.Depending on the nature of the sensor element and its surface, it can also make sense to choose the limit temperature below 0 ° C (for example not more than -5 ° C), since the damage mechanism can be limited to this area by surface or capillary effects.
Unter einer Bestimmung der Temperatur des Sensorelements wird vorliegend die Erfassung einer Größe verstanden, die mit der Temperatur des Sensorelements zumindest im Kontext der konkreten Messung eindeutig verknüpft ist.In the present case, determining the temperature of the sensor element is understood to mean the detection of a variable that is clearly linked to the temperature of the sensor element, at least in the context of the specific measurement.
Weist das Sensorelement beispielsweise ein Material mit einem temperaturabhängigen elektrischen Widerstand auf, so kann die Temperaturmessung in der Bestimmung dieses Widerstandes bestehen. Erfolgt die Widerstandsbestimmung ferner durch Anlegen einer gegebenen Spannung an das Material, so kann die Temperaturmessung in der Messung des resultierenden Stroms bestehen. Es gibt weitere Möglichkeiten, beispielsweise kann zur Temperaturmessung eine von außen kontaktierbare Widerstandsleiterbahn aus einem Edelmetall oder einem Cermet vorgesehen sein.If the sensor element has, for example, a material with a temperature-dependent electrical resistance, the temperature measurement can consist in determining this resistance. If the resistance is also determined by applying a given voltage to the material, the temperature measurement can consist of measuring the resulting current. There are further possibilities, for example an externally contactable resistance conductor track made of a noble metal or a cermet can be provided for temperature measurement.
Die bestimmte Temperatur kann dann insbesondere durch diese Größe gegeben sein.The specific temperature can then be given in particular by this variable.
Um die erforderlichen Verfahrensschritte auszuführen kann der Abgassensor mit einem Sensorsteuergerät verbunden sein.In order to carry out the necessary method steps, the exhaust gas sensor can be connected to a sensor control device.
Zusätzlich kann ein mit dem Sensorsteuergerät elektrisch verbundenes Motorsteuergerät vorgesehen sein. Das Sensorsteuergerät überträgt dann beispielsweise die Temperatur des Sensorelements, beispielsweise per CAN-Kommunikation, an das Motorsteuergerät zu Beginn und laufend während des Betriebs des Abgassensors und der Brennkraftmaschine. Im Motorsteuergerät sind zudem insbesondere die Umgebungstemperatur, die Fahrzeugtemperatur und weitere Temperaturgrößen von Referenzsensoren betreffende Daten vorhanden, die zur weiteren Auswertung oder einer Plausibilisierung verwendet werden können.In addition, an engine control device that is electrically connected to the sensor control device can be provided. The sensor control device then transmits, for example, the temperature of the sensor element, for example via CAN communication, to the engine control device at the beginning and continuously during the operation of the exhaust gas sensor and the internal combustion engine. In addition, the engine control unit contains, in particular, data relating to the ambient temperature, the vehicle temperature and other temperature variables from reference sensors, which can be used for further evaluation or a plausibility check.
Es kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass ein Zustandsautomat zum Stellen einer Messanforderung an den Abgassensor ebenfalls in dem Motorsteuergerät, beispielsweise durch Software, implementiert ist. Die oben genannten Größen können genutzt werden, um den Sensor entsprechend anzusteuern.In particular, it can be provided that a state machine for placing a measurement request on the exhaust gas sensor is also implemented in the engine control device, for example by software. The sizes mentioned above can be used to control the sensor accordingly.
Zusätzlich kann vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise durch das Sensorsteuergerät, beispielsweise über Transitions- und Freigabebedingungen, den Zustand im Zustandsautomaten zum Ausführen der Betriebsstrategie des Abgassensors anzuwählen.In addition, provision can be made, for example, by the sensor control device, for example via transition and release conditions, to select the state in the state machine for executing the operating strategy of the exhaust gas sensor.
Bei dem Abgassensor kann es sich beispielsweise um eine elektrochemisch arbeitende Lambdasonde oder um einen elektrochemisch arbeitenden NOx-Sensor handeln. Alternativ kann es sich um einen resistiv arbeitenden Rußpartikelsensor handeln, der zwei dem Abgas ausgesetzbare Interdigitalelektroden aufweist, die ineinander eingreifen, wobei ein Maß für den Partikelgehalt des Abgases auf dem sich zwischen den Interdigitalelektroden ausbildenden elektrischen Widerstand bzw. elektrischen Leitwert basiert.The exhaust gas sensor can be, for example, an electrochemically operating lambda probe or an electrochemically operating NOx sensor. Alternatively, it can be a resistive soot particle sensor which has two interdigital electrodes which can be exposed to the exhaust gas and which engage in one another, a measure of the particle content of the exhaust gas being based on the electrical resistance or electrical conductance formed between the interdigital electrodes.
