Verfahren zum Optimieren des KraftstoffverbrauchesMethod for optimizing fuel consumption

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Optimieren des Kraftstoffverbrauches bei in Kraftfahrzeugen eingebauten Brennkraftmaschinen, insbesondere bei in Nutzfahrzeugen eingebauten, direkt einspritzenden oder mit Vor- bzw. Wirbelkammer arbeitenden Brennkraftmaschinen. Die zunehmende Treibstoffverknappung mit dem Begleitumstand steigender Preise gibt Anlaß, nicht nur den Wirkungsgrad von Brennkraftmaschinen zu verbessern, sondern parallel dazu auch den durch die Fahrweise bedingten Kraftstoffverbrauch, insbesondere bei Nutzfahrzeugen, zu minimieren. Mit der Preiswürdigkeit heute verfügbarer Bauelemente der elektronischen Meß- und Rechentechnik sind die Voraussetzungen hierfür in idealer Weise gegeben. Nur diese Mittel ermöglichen es, mit der nötigen Geschwindigkeit eine laufende Kraftstoffverbrauchsanalyse des Antriebsmotors vorzunehmen und gleichzeitig auch den ■verbrauchsgünstigsten Betriebszustand des Motors vorzuschlagen oder automatisch zu erzwingen.The invention relates to a method for optimizing the fuel consumption when installed in motor vehicles Internal combustion engines, in particular in commercial vehicles built-in, direct injection or with an antechamber or swirl chamber working internal combustion engines. The increasing shortage of fuel with the accompanying circumstance Rising prices give cause not only to improve the efficiency of internal combustion engines, but also in parallel also to minimize the fuel consumption caused by the driving style, especially in commercial vehicles. The prerequisites are the prerequisites for the affordable components of electronic measurement and computing technology available today given for this in an ideal way. Only these funds make it possible with the necessary speed to carry out an ongoing fuel consumption analysis of the drive engine and, at the same time, to find the ■ most economical To propose the operating state of the engine or to force it automatically.

Im günstigsten Falle bestünde das Ziel einer derartigen Optimierung in der Wahl einer solchen Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit und Getriebegangstufe - entsprechend den Vorgaben der topographischen Gegebenheiten der Straßentrasse, daß stets ^in minimaler Kraftstoffverbrauch gewährleistet ist. Die vorgenannten topographischen Bedingungen, aberIn the most favorable case, the goal of such an optimization would be the choice of such a vehicle speed and gear stage - according to the specifications of the topographical conditions of the road route that always ^ guaranteed in minimum fuel consumption is. The aforementioned topographical conditions, however

auch die nicht auszuschließende ZwangsfUhrung im dichten Verkehrsstrom oder schließlich die Notwendigkeit des Einhaltens einer mittleren Fahrgeschwindigkeit im Falle der Gewährleistung einer vereinbarten Transportzeit stellen jedoch als gegeben hinzunehmende Einschränkungen, die Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit als einen der beiden frei wählbaren Optimierungsparameter in Frage. Eine an der Praxis orientierte Kraftstoffverbrauchsoptimierung kann demnach nur darin bestehen, für einen augenblicklich vorliegenden Fahrzustand mittels geeigneter Vorgehensweise denjenigen Getriebegang zu ermitteln, bei dem unter Beibehaltung der augenblicklichen Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit der Antriebsmotor günstigste Verbrauchswerte aufweist.also the compulsory guidance in poetry, which cannot be ruled out Traffic flow or, finally, the need to maintain a medium speed in the event the guarantee of an agreed transport time, however, are subject to acceptable restrictions, the vehicle speed as one of the two freely selectable optimization parameters in question. One at the Practice-oriented fuel consumption optimization can therefore only consist of one moment to determine the present driving state by means of a suitable procedure that transmission gear in which under Maintaining the current vehicle speed, the drive motor has the most favorable consumption values.

Als zu beeinflussende Getriebestufen kommen hierfür ausschließlich der wandlerbehafteten ersten Stufe nur alle höheren Gänge mit jeweils festem übersetzungsverhältnis, also keine mit Schlupf behafteten, in Frage.The only gear stages to be influenced are the converter-affected first stage only all higher gears with a fixed gear ratio, so no slippage in question.

Hier setzt bereits die Erfindung ein, der die Aufgabe zugrunde liegt, ein Verfahren der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu entwickeln, durch das immer der Jeweils günstigste Gang gewählt werden kann oder automatisch gewählt wird.The invention, on which the object is based, is a method of the type described at the outset To develop a way through which the most favorable gear can always be selected or is selected automatically.

Nach der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe durch folgende Verfahrensschritte gelöst:According to the invention, the object is achieved by the following process steps solved:

a) Bestimmung des Istwertes des augenblicklichen Kraft-a) Determination of the actual value of the instantaneous force

c) Bestimmen der verbrauchsgünstigsten Gangstufe durch zyklischen Vergleich der bekannten gangspezifischen Verbrauchswerte untereinander,c) Determining the most economical gear stage cyclical comparison of the known aisle-specific consumption values with one another,

d) Ableitung alternativer Maßnahmen aus dem erhaltenen Ergebnis wie optische Anzeige des manuell anzuwählenden Ganges oder automatischer Gangwechsel durch elektromagnetische oder elektrohydraulisch^ Stellglieder,d) Deriving alternative measures from the received Result like optical display of the manually selected gear or automatic gear change by electromagnetic or electro-hydraulic ^ actuators,

e) Ab- oder Zuschalten von Arbeitszylindern, um den mittleren Arbeitsdruck im Zylinder so zu ändern, daß der Betriebspunkt des Motors so nah wie möglich ans Minimum des spezifischen Kraftstoffverbrauches gebracht wird,e) Switching off or switching on of working cylinders in order to change the mean working pressure in the cylinder so that the The engine's operating point is brought as close as possible to the minimum specific fuel consumption,

f) erneuter Beginn des gleichen Zyklus und Ausführung in periodischer endloser Folge.f) restarting the same cycle and executing in periodic endless sequence.

Es sei hier ausdrücklich erwähnt, daß die Mittel zum Durchführen der einzelnen Verfahrensschritte jeweils für S-1Ch gesehen durchaus bereits bekannt und daher beliebig wählbar sind.Es soll lediglich eine schnelle Kontrolle möglich sein.It should be expressly mentioned here that the means for carrying out the individual process steps are already known for S -1 Ch and can therefore be selected as desired. Only a quick check should be possible.

So kann beispielsweise die Bestimmung des Istwertes des augenblicklichen Kraftstoffverbrauches indirekt durch Ermittlung anhand des Motorkennfeldes erfolgen. Dieses beschreibt die Abhängigkeit zwischen Motordrehmoment, Motordrehzahl, Regelstangenstellung an der Einspritzpumpe und spezifischen Kraftstoffverbrauch. Die Bestimmung erfolgt durch einen Rechner, beispielsweise einen Mikrorechner oder Mikroprozessor, und zwar so, daß das im Arbeitsspeicher des Rechners in geeigneter Weise abgelegte Kennfeld nach dem Kraftstoffverbrauch software-gesteuert in der Weise abgefragt wird, indem man dem Rechner zunächst die maßtechnisch ständig verfügbar gehaltenen Werte für Regelstangenstellung und Motordrehzahl abrufen läßt, um sodann den zugeordneten Kraftstoffverbrauch vermittels geeigneterFor example, the actual value of the instantaneous fuel consumption can be determined indirectly Determination based on the engine map. This describes the relationship between the engine torque, Engine speed, rack position on the injection pump and specific fuel consumption. The determination is made by a computer, for example a microcomputer or microprocessor, in such a way that it is in the working memory the computer suitably stored map according to the fuel consumption software-controlled in this way is queried by first providing the computer with the values for the control rod position, which are constantly available in terms of measurements and the engine speed can be retrieved in order to then determine the associated fuel consumption by means of suitable

Suchstrategie, gegebenenfalls unter Benutzung von Interpolationsalgorithmen, wieder vom Rechner bestimmen läßt.Search strategy, if necessary using interpolation algorithms, can be determined again by the computer.

Die Bestimmung der an den Rädern des Kraftfahrzeuges im Augenblick vorhandenen Antriebsleistung kann zweckmäßigerweise erfolgen, indem in einem ersten Schritt die an die Kurbelwelle abgegebene Motorleistung sowie die Getriebeverlustleistung indirekt über das bereits erwähnte Kennfeld des Motors bzw. des Getriebes zugängig gemacht werden. Das Getriebekennfeld stellt für jede Schaltstufe die Verlustleistung des Getriebes in Abhängigkeit von der Drehzahl und dem Eingangsdrehmoment dar. Es ist für jede Schaltstufe wie das Motorkennfeld im Arbeitsspeicher des Rechners abgelegt. Per rechnergesteuerter Abfrage des gemessenen Regelstangenweges und der Motordrehzahl ist in ähnlicher Weise wie bei der Bestimmung des Kraftstoffverbrauches das zugeordnete, abgegebene Motordrehmoment dem Speicher des Motorkennfeldes zu entnehmen, um sogleich mit der Motordrehzahl multipliziert die abgegebene Motorleistung zu ergeben. Das Motordrehmoment stellt zugleich das Eingangsdrehmoment für die augenblicklich benutzte Schaltbzw. Getriebestufe dar, mit dessen Verfügbarkeit der Rechner in die Lage versetzbar ist, die entsprechende Getriebeverlustleistung dem Getriebestufen-Kennfeld-Speicher zu entnehmen. Diese wird nunmehr von der Motorleistung abgezogen, wodurch sich die an den Antriebsrädern anstehende Leistung ergibt, die ihrerseits an einem adressierbaren Speicherplatz abrufbar gehalten wird.The determination of the on the wheels of the motor vehicle in Drive power present at the moment can expediently take place by, in a first step, the to the Engine power output from the crankshaft as well as the transmission power loss indirectly via the already mentioned map of the engine or the transmission can be made accessible. The transmission map shows the power loss for each gear stage of the gearbox as a function of the speed and the input torque. It is for each gear stage like the engine map stored in the computer's main memory. By computer-controlled query of the measured The control rod travel and the engine speed is similar to that used for determining fuel consumption the assigned, delivered engine torque can be taken from the memory of the engine map in order to immediately start with the Engine speed multiplied to give the output engine power. The engine torque also represents the input torque for the currently used switching or Gear stage, with its availability the Computer can be put in the position, the corresponding transmission power loss to the gear stage map memory refer to. This is now deducted from the engine power, which means that the power on the drive wheels pending performance results, which in turn is kept retrievable at an addressable memory location.

Das Errechnen der zu erwartenden Kraftstoff-Verbrauchswerte für alle alternativ einlegbare Gangstufen geht wie folgt vor sich: Für Jede Getriebe-Gangstufe werden dieCalculating the expected fuel consumption values for all alternatively insertable gear steps proceed as follows: For each gear step the

Danach werden diese Größen in entsprechendTransmission power loss, the transmission input power and the transmission input speed on the basis of this the power already determined on the drive wheels calculated. After that, these sizes are in accordingly

Getriebestufen ermittelt werden, die sich auf Grund von Grenzwertkriterien wie der Drehzahl und des übertragbaren Drehmomentes als zulässige Getriebestufenalternative anbieten. addressed memory locations of the computer. With this, the !. Gear stages are determined based on limit value criteria such as the speed and the transmittable Torque as a permissible gear stage alternative.

In Kenntnis der Getriebeeingangsdaten wie Drehzahl und Drehmoment, die ihrerseits zugleich Motorausgangsdaten darstellen, ist der Rechner bei entsprechender Programmierung ir. der Lage, für jede Getriebestufenalternative den entsprechenden Kraftstoffverbrauch dem Speicher für das Motorkennfeld zu entnehmen und sodann entsprechend adressiert abzulegen.Knowing the gearbox input data such as speed and torque, which in turn is also engine output data represent, the computer with the appropriate programming is ir. The position for each gear stage alternative the Corresponding fuel consumption to be taken from the memory for the engine map and then addressed accordingly to discard.

Die verbrauchsgünstigste Gangstufe wird schließlich durch zyklische Differenzbildung zwischen dem augenblicklichen Verbrauch und dem jeweils gangspezifischen Verbrauch, der wie vorstehend beschrieben errechnet wurde, bestimmt. Ein Betrags- und Vorzeichenvergleich für die erhaltenen Differenzen ergibt mit den dafür üblichen Identifizierungsalgorithmen die gesuchte Gangstufe.The most fuel-efficient gear is finally determined by cyclical difference formation between the current one Consumption and the aisle-specific consumption, calculated as described above. A comparison of the amount and sign for the received Differences result with the usual identification algorithms the gear step you are looking for.

Das auf diese Weise erhaltene Ergebnis wird letztlich dazu benutzt, um eine optische Anzeige des Jeweils manuell anzuwählenden Ganges zu betreiben oder einen automatischen Gangwechsel beispielsweise durch elektromagnetische oder elektrohydraulische Stellglieder einzuleiten. The result obtained in this way is ultimately used to provide a visual display of the respective to operate manually selected gear or an automatic gear change, for example by electromagnetic or to initiate electro-hydraulic actuators.

Die günstigste Gangstufe ergibt Über die Gesamtübersetzung eine bestimmte Motordrehzahl. Für diese konstant zu haltende Drehzahl, die im Kennfeld des Motors als Senkrechte wiedergegeben wird, wird dann vcm Mikrorechner überprüft, ob nicht durch Veränderung des mittleren effektiven Arbeitsdruckes ein günstigerer spezifischer Brennstoffverbrauch zu erzielen ist. Das kann bei einer geforderten Fahrzeugantriebsleistung nur über eine Ab- oder Zuschaltung einzelner Arbeitszylinder erfolgen und ist gleichbedeutend mit einer Veränderung des Hubraumes.The most favorable gear step results in a certain engine speed via the overall ratio. For this to be kept constant Speed, which is shown as a vertical line in the engine map, is then checked by the microcomputer to determine whether a more favorable specific fuel consumption is not achieved by changing the mean effective working pressure can be achieved. With a required vehicle drive power, this can only be done by disconnecting or connecting individual components Working cylinders take place and is synonymous with a change in the displacement.

Der gleiche Zyklus wird dann in endloser Folge immer wieder erneut durchgeführt, so daß der Fahrer zu Jeder Zeit zumindest erkennen kann, ob er kraftstoffsparend führt.The same cycle will then always be in endless succession carried out again, so that the driver can at least see at any time whether he is fuel-efficient leads.

Voraussetzung für die Kraftstoffverbrauchsbestimmung ist also zum einen die Messung der Motordrehzahl und der Regelstangenstellung der Einspritzpumpe, sofern es sich um eine direkt einspritzende oder mit Vor- bzw. Wirbelkammer arbeitenden Brennkraftmaschine handelt, zum anderen die Verfügbarkeit der Kennfelder vom Motor und von den einzelnen Getriebestufen. Die Motordrehzahl ist beispielsweise auch mit einem auf induktiver Basis arbeitenden aktiven Incrementalgeber, angestellt am Anlasserzahnkranz unmittelbar und die Regelstangenstellung kann entweder passiv mittels eines Verschiebepotenticmeters oder durch einen trägerfrequenzgespeisten Differentialtransformatorweggeber gewonnen werden.The prerequisite for determining fuel consumption is, on the one hand, the measurement of the engine speed and the control rack position the injection pump, provided it is a direct injection pump or with a prechamber or swirl chamber working internal combustion engine is, on the other hand the Availability of the engine maps and the individual gear stages. The engine speed is for example also with an active incremental encoder working on an inductive basis, directly engaged with the starter ring gear and the control rack position can either be passive by means of a displacement potentiometer or by a carrier-frequency-fed differential transformer displacement encoder be won.
