Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fuel-air mixture metering for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • Methods are already known which regulate the mixture composition to the minimum consumption in the part-load range of an internal combustion engine.
  • it has already been proposed for this purpose to sweep the air quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine by means of a test signal. Due to the relatively large distance between the bypass and the throttle valve and the individual cylinders, run times are thereby created which limit the wobble frequency and result in a relatively slow control behavior.
  • a complex actuator for example an air flap in an air bypass, is required.
  • DE-A 2 507 055 discloses a device for fuel / air mixture metering for an internal combustion engine with an extreme value control which intervenes in the fuel metering by means of a test signal generator for regulating a minimum specific fuel consumption, in which the engine speed and a fuel metering signal are as actual information can be used to regulate the minimum specific consumption value.
  • the aim is to optimize consumption by wobbling the amount of air or to optimize performance by wobbling the amount of fuel.
  • the design of devices for air / fuel mixture metering for internal combustion engines is generally based on the following requirements: achieving a minimum specific fuel consumption, compliance with low exhaust gas emissions and ensuring satisfactory driving behavior.
  • control methods which are partially described below, are generally used, which enables the use of simple and inexpensive sensors and actuators, guarantees freedom from maintenance and increases long-term stability. Variations of specimens can also be neglected, interchangeability of, for example, encoders is ensured and the facility can be adapted more easily to different motor types.
  • the use of controls also results in functional improvements such as the optimization of the operating behavior of the internal combustion engine in the start, warm-up and idle phases and in the full-load range. The same applies to transient phases of the internal combustion engine, for example during acceleration or overrun.
  • control systems allow a very fast adaptation to changed input conditions.
  • the disturbance variables can only be considered incompletely or with considerable effort.
  • FIG. 1 and FIG. 1 characteristic curve fields of an Otto engine are shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
  • control is based on a minimum specific fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine, that is, on a maximum of the curves shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1 (be min control ).
  • the system regulates to a maximum power, ie to a maximum of the curves shown in solid lines in FIG. 1 (P max control ). Since in both cases the setpoint is given by a maximum of the power output of the internal combustion engine for a given amount of fuel or air, an extreme value control is appropriate.
  • a lambda map control is also conceivable, with which the corresponding lambda values of the air-fuel mixture are specified as a function of the power output of the internal combustion engine.
  • Control systems for an internal combustion engine can react relatively slowly to disturbance variables due to the existing dead times or running times. It has therefore proven to be extremely advantageous to use a pilot control for the fast and dynamic processes within an internal combustion engine.
  • the superimposed control can intervene, for example, multiplicatively or additively on these pilot control values.
  • Through the use of modern electronic means, such as memory and microcompu It is also possible to implement the feedforward control by means of a map, the map values of which can be addressed, for example, as a function of the speed and the load of the internal combustion engine.
  • the superimposed control can then, on the one hand, influence the read map values multiplicatively or additively without changing the map values stored in the memory.
  • the basic structure of the system uses a map, the input variables of which in the simplest case are the speed n and the throttle valve position a.
  • a map the input variables of which in the simplest case are the speed n and the throttle valve position a.
  • An ongoing adjustment then takes place during operation.
  • An essential concept is to subdivide the map into different areas, for example idling, part-load, full-load and thrust areas. With the exception of push operation, a specific control concept is provided in each area, which adapts this area to the respective requirements, so that a "learning" map is available. If the motor vehicle is taken out of operation, it is possible to save the map learned last and to use it as the initial map again when starting again.
  • FIG. 3 shows the block diagram of a first embodiment of the overall system.
  • the fuel quantity to be metered to the internal combustion engine is controlled via a characteristic diagram 20, to which the speed n and the throttle valve position a of a throttle valve 21 are fed as input variables.
  • the throttle valve is actuated by an accelerator pedal 22.
  • the injection time t stored in the map 20 is converted into a corresponding fuel quantity Q K via an injection valve 23.
  • This amount of fuel Q K as well as the amount of air Q L determined by the throttle valve position, are fed to a symbolically illustrated internal combustion engine 24, a certain torque M being effected as a function of the lambda value of the air / fuel mixture.
  • the controlled system “internal combustion engine” can be roughly approximated schematically by an integrator 25.
  • the output variable n of the internal combustion engine is used to control the characteristic diagram 20. This part of the overall system described so far is a pure control of the mixture composition.
  • the superimposed control is based on extreme value control.
  • the air quantity Q L for example via a bypass with a stroke ⁇ Q L, or the injection time t ; wobbled with a stroke ⁇ t.
  • the test signals required for this purpose are generated by a test signal generator 26.
  • This test signal generator acts on the amount of fuel or air, depending on the control method, the wobble frequency being able to be chosen to be constant or depending on the speed.
  • the torque changes of the internal combustion engine generated by the test signal have an effect on changes in speed, so that these changes in torque can be analyzed by a measuring device 27 which receives signals proportional to the speed.
  • the measuring device 27 consists of a preferably digital filter 28 and a subsequent evaluation unit 29 which examines the filtered signal in terms of magnitude and / or phase and compares it with the output signals of the test signal generator 26. It has proven to be advantageous to construct the filter 28 using digital technology. It works discretely, whereby the sampling rate can be either in a fixed time grid or proportional to the speed. Since the filter is precisely matched to the sweep frequency, interference signals can be largely suppressed.
  • a controller 30 compares preferably the phase position of the filter output signal and a phase setpoint, the difference between these two signals being fed to an integrator 31, which in the simplest case can be designed as an up-down counter.
  • the output signal of this integrator 31 can be used for a multiplicative influencing of the characteristic diagram.
  • characteristic mapping processes can also be useful, in which individual areas of the characteristic diagram are specifically adapted. Such methods are shown schematically by block 32.
  • FIG. 4 shows the average useful pressure p e as a function of the lambda value of the air-fuel mixture.
  • a test signal is superimposed on the input variable, the air-fuel mixture with a predetermined lambda value, which either occurs sporadically and, for example, takes the form of a staircase function or occurs periodically and has a sine or rectangular shape.
  • the reaction of the internal combustion engine to these test signals can be detected via the change in the average useful pressure p e , but particularly advantageously via the change in torque or the associated change in speed.
  • either the change in amplitude of the mean useful pressure (or the torque or the speed) or the phase of this output variable in relation to the phase of the test signals is suitable as the variable to be analyzed.
  • test signal is superimposed on the input variable by air wobble, for example via a bypass.
  • This control method is used in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 3.
  • a rough precontrol of the lambda value of the air / fuel mixture is specified via the throttle valve 21 and via the on map 20 for the injection time.
  • the superimposed control comprises a test signal generator 26, a measuring device 27 evaluating the speed changes and a controller 30 which influences the characteristic diagram 20.
  • the amount of air to be metered wobbles around AO L.
  • FIG. 3 is to be understood in such a way that the signals of the test signal generator 26 influence the amount of air to be metered.
  • the reaction of the internal combustion engine 24 to this wobbling of the air-fuel mixture supplied can be analyzed by changes in the rotational speed.
  • a measuring device 27 which, in the present special case, consists of a digital filter 28 for suppressing interference frequencies and an evaluation unit 29 which evaluates the changes in speed with regard to the amount and the phase.
  • the output signal of the bandpass is plotted to clarify the functioning of the evaluation unit 29, namely the amplitude as a function of lambda in the upper part and the phase position for two lambda values above and below the ideal value, the be min point, in the lower part , on which the figure 4 was specialized.
  • the conditions would result in the same way for a regulation to power maximum P max , only the lambda value being in the rich range.
  • the output amplitude of the bandpass is a measure of the size of the speed changes. According to the representations in FIG. 4, the change in the output amplitude of the bandpass assumes the value 0 at the extreme value. Deviating from the optimal value on both sides, the amplitude increases steadily. However, the value of the amplitude alone does not say on which side of the extreme value one lies. The extreme value is therefore determined by evaluating the phase of the output signal of the filter 28. It would also be possible to use the change in amplitude as a measured variable.
  • a test signal of an arbitrary, here rectangular shape, and in comparison the output variable of the filter is plotted.
  • the output signal of the filter has a different phase shift with respect to the test signal. Depending on the phase position, this can be used to clearly determine whether the mixture is too rich or too lean in relation to the be min point.
  • the difference between these two signals is integrated in the simplest case, for which purpose, for example, an up-down counter can be used in a digital embodiment.
  • the counter reading corresponds to a factor by which the injection map is multiplied or a certain map area is modified.
  • the air has to be wobbled, so that due to the large distance between the bypass at the throttle valve, with which the amount of air is wobbled, and the cylinders, run times are created by which the wobble frequency is limited. Due to the presence of vehicle-specific resonance frequencies, the phase setpoint for the be min point can be shifted depending on the speed and possibly also on the load.
  • an idle charge control can advantageously be used, with which the LL speed of the internal combustion engine is independent of load changes, such as, for example, by switching on the air conditioning system or similar are caused, is kept constant.
  • Such an idle charge control is known for example from the applicant's German published application DE-OS 3 120 667.
  • FIG. 6 shows a possibility in which the map values for a pre-control of the injection time remain unchanged, but multiplicative or additive corrections can be applied to the output values of the map via the superimposed control.
  • the map values themselves cannot be changed by the overlaid control.
  • the advantage of this method is that the method is very simple and inexpensive to carry out.
  • the disadvantage is that the structure of a map that has been predetermined once is no longer modified.
  • FIG. 6 b shows a map learning method in which the individual map values of the map are continuously adapted by the superimposed control. More precisely, this means that at each operating point specified by the input variables, the associated map output variable is adapted to the respective optimum value by a control method. When leaving the respective operating point, the last determined output variable is saved and remains unchanged until this operating point is selected again.
  • An advantage of this method is that the map can be adapted to any structure. Not so advantageous is the fact that to change the entire map, all map output sizes have to be controlled individually. However, this is not always guaranteed, because on the one hand different operating points, very much are controlled rarely or never and, on the other hand, since the length of stay in the individual operating points is often so short that no adjustment can be made.
  • FIG. 7 shows a section through a histogram-like actual value map with the corresponding target values identified by a solid line.
  • the adaptation of individual values is shown in FIG. 7a, the controlled output variable being identified by an arrow.
  • this individual value is correctly adjusted by the control system according to the setpoint curve, the structure of the actual value map curve can only track the setpoint after all map values have been approached.
  • FIG. 7c The other extreme case, namely that of a multiplicative adaptation of the overall map, is shown in FIG. 7c.
  • a factor is obtained from the deviation of the map size indicated by an arrow from the target value, which adapts the corresponding map value correctly, but changes all other map values in the same sense.
  • the desired setpoint curve of the map cannot be exactly achieved with such a multiplicative adjustment.
  • One possibility is to subdivide the map into support points. In the simplest case, intermediate values are calculated, for example, by linear interpolation. When the map is adapted to the corresponding target value, only the support points are changed, so that the surrounding areas are adjusted by the interpolation.
  • the environment of the changed support point value is automatically changed in the same sense as the support point itself, but weighted less with increasing distance from the support point.
  • this map learning method it is not necessary to approach each individual map size in order to change it. This means that, on the one hand, the characteristic map can be adapted quickly and, on the other hand, any given structure can be adapted at least approximately.
  • control factor Due to the system-related runtimes, the control factor is not always constant, even in stationary operation, but shows time fluctuations. For this reason, an averaging of the control factor is appropriate, in which case these averaged control factors are only incorporated into the characteristic diagram at predetermined times. After the training, the control factor is reset to one. This measure has the advantage that the map can be adapted safely, although the time period of the adaptation can be extended.
  • FIG. 8 should be used to explain the advantages of such averaging.
  • interpolation point values S1, S2, S3 have been plotted here, which also assume the same values.
  • the bold actual value characteristic curve therefore assumes the shape of a straight line.
  • the setpoint characteristic curve shown in broken lines deviates considerably from the course of the actual value characteristic.
  • a support point intake area is defined around each of the support points, which in the present special case corresponds to half the distance between two support points, as indicated for support point S2 in the drawing.
  • Each support point can only be changed if one or more working points in the catchment area of this support point are activated.
  • the desired and actual value can only be reached in this operating point if the interpolation point value S2 is raised from its initial value E to the new value A. If, on the other hand, one starts from the working point II, the interpolation point value S2 must be raised to the value D, so that the desired and actual values match for the working point II. In both cases the base did not assume its correct value, which should be B. On the one hand, this clear illustration shows that the adaptation is better the closer the working point is to the support point, and on the other hand that with a single working point in the catchment area of the respective support point, it cannot always be adapted exactly.
  • FIG. 9 shows a section from any map.
  • the input variables in In the present case, the speed n and the throttle valve position a are quantized and each combination of these input variables is an output variable, here the injection time t ; assigned.
  • the output variables are stored in a read-write memory, the input variables each determining the address within the memory.
  • a map with 3 x 3 support points was chosen as a simple example, which are marked with dots in the figure.
  • a linear interpolation can be used to calculate three intermediate values between two interpolation points, so that a total of 81 map values result for the special case selected here.
  • the lower part of FIG. 10 shows the clear course of the control factor (solid line) in the period between t a and t b and the time-averaged control factor (dashed line).
  • the averaging process now proceeds as follows. If the driving curve changes from the catchment area of a support point to another catchment area (at time t a , t b ), then the support point of the catchment area just left is adjusted and the control factor is reset to the neutral value one.
  • the control factor is averaged at the point in time at which the driving curve lies in the catchment area of a support point. It can prove to be advantageous that the averaging only starts after a certain number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine (for example 16 revolutions).
  • a first-order digital low-pass filter in particular, is used for the averaging. If the driving curve leaves the relevant catchment area, this averaged value is wholly or possibly only partially incorporated into the support point and then the control factor is set to the neutral value one.
  • a characteristic of this learning process is the fact that the properties of the existing control loop remain unchanged.
  • the control factor continues to directly influence the manipulated variable within a reference point environment. Only after a clear change tendency has been detected by averaging several correction values within a base area, is the change incorporated into the associated base when leaving this base area.
  • the interpolation process results in a jump in the manipulated variable, which, however, does not have a disruptive effect. It can prove useful to use a calculation method to reset the control factor in such a way that a jump is avoided.
  • a change limit which uses the original state of the map as a reference, ensures that even in the event of a malfunction, an "operational" map is always retained. At the same time, a warning can be issued when the limitation is activated, since there is a high probability that there is a serious defect within the control loop or on the motor.
  • the map in the original state also enables a comfortable emergency operation function.

  • the torque transmitter 69 including the conditioning circuit 73 is necessary for a modified control method to be described.
  • the extreme value control to the minimum consumption be min requires wobbling of the air, for example via an air bypass, which bridges the throttle valve.
  • the air mixture requires a certain amount of time to travel through the relatively long distance between the bypass and the individual cylinders, the frequency of the air wobble being limited on account of these transit times and the regulation thus becoming relatively slow.
  • the amount of fuel can be wobbled at a relatively high frequency, since the injection valves are arranged directly on the combustion chamber and runtime effects are thereby negligible.
  • various methods are now to be disclosed in which a control to a consumption minimum can be implemented as a test signal using the fuel wobble. An additional advantage of this method results from the elimination of the air bypass.

  • the curve of the torque shown in FIG. 14a at constant air volume and speed can be derived from the solid lines in FIGS. 1, 2, the injection time serving as the abscissa instead of the lambda value of the mixture. Since the quotient of torque M and injection time t corresponds to the efficiency, the drawn tangent m indicates the maximum of the efficiency or the minimum of the specific fuel consumption.
  • the corresponding curves for efficiency and specific fuel consumption are shown in FIG. 14b.
  • a shift in the zero point for example, by means of offset voltages immediately means a shift in the calculated maximum. It proves advantageous that the air bypass for wobbling the amount of air sucked in can be omitted for this control method. Basically, this principle of wobbling the injection time can also be used for other mixture metering systems that do not necessarily derive their input variables from the speed and throttle valve position.
  • the slope of the torque curve can be determined according to FIG. 14a. If, on the other hand, you have measured the slope for the be min point in the individual operating points of the internal combustion engine and stored it as a setpoint in a memory, then a control can be set up using a setpoint / actual value comparison.

  • overrun mode the amount of fuel is reduced to very small values or to zero.
  • the throttle valve position is not a direct measure of the amount of air, changes in air pressure and temperature are directly incorporated into the lambda value of the mixture supplied to the internal combustion engine.
  • the pre-control values for the fuel quantity supplied to the internal combustion engine stored in the characteristic diagram must therefore be corrected by a superimposed control so that the lambda value can be set accordingly.
  • a particularly simple control method is a control for maximum power, which is only effective in the full load range, except in the idling range.
  • the controller generates a factor by which the changes in the intake air quantity due to pressure or temperature fluctuations are taken into account.
  • This factor which is only determined in the full-load range, naturally also applies approximately to the map values of the partial-load range. For this reason, it makes sense to record this factor during the transition to the partial load range and to let it work in this area as well. Seen overall, this control factor influences the entire partial load and full load range, but is only determined when the internal combustion engine is operating at full load.
  • FIG. 1 A block diagram of the control circuit is shown in FIG. Components identical to FIG. 3 are also identified by the same numbers. Only the deviation or innovation is described below.
