Definitions
- the invention relates to an arrangement for determining the air mass flow supplied to the cylinders of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the quality of the combustion of the fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine depends crucially on how exactly the air mass flow actually supplied to the individual cylinders of an internal combustion engine is determined; for various reasons, this can deviate from the mass air flow measured in the intake system, this deviation can also be a function of operating parameters.
- a correction memory is therefore provided for an experimentally determined correction variable with which the respective measured value of the air mass flow is corrected.
- the correction quantity is dependent on the operating parameter "speed of the internal combustion engine” and eliminates errors that arise due to speed-dependent pulsations of the air mass flow in the intake system.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of determining the air mass flow actually supplied to the internal combustion engine with greater accuracy, even in the dynamic range.
- the value of the correction quantity stored in a correction memory is determined experimentally for a specific internal combustion engine with a given intake system depending on the previously mentioned operating parameters.
- the invention is based on the insight that the transient, dynamic behavior of the intake system is in need of correction and can also be corrected.
- the invention is based on the observation that the delayed reaction of the internal combustion engine to a change in position of the actuator for the air mass flow is also based on the effect of the storage capacity of the intake system between the air mass meter and the supply air valves of the internal combustion engine: after a sudden opening of the actuator, which is designed, for example, as a throttle valve, is used part of the air mass flow detected by the air mass meter for filling the intake system and does not flow into the internal combustion engine.
- the air mass flow flowing into the internal combustion engine after closing the throttle valve is not reduced to the same extent as is detected by the air mass meter; rather, part of the air mass stored in the intake system still flows into the internal combustion engine.
- an internal combustion engine 1 with four cylinders and an intake system 10 is shown, which extends between an air filter 100 and the intake openings of the individual cylinders and, accordingly, a central main pipe 101 thereon then has a distributor pipe 103 and branch pipes 102 starting from it and leading to the individual cylinders.
- a measuring device 11 for the air mass flow - air mass meter - and then an actuator 12 for the air mass flow in the form of a throttle valve, the position of which - position angle - depends on a control unit 2 is arranged in the main pipe 101.
- Injection valves 13 open into the individual branch pipes 102, which are also controlled by the control unit 2 - preferably sequentially - with an injection time t; can be controlled.
- the control unit 2 also determines the ignition angle ⁇ with which ignition pulses are delivered to the spark plugs 14 for the individual cylinders. To do this, the control unit Speed and position signals from a pulse generator 15 coupled to the internal combustion engine 1, control values from a pedal value transmitter 4 and the measured values ⁇ M of the air mass meter 11 are supplied.
- control unit 2 determines the injection time t i of the injection valves, the position of the throttle valve 12 and the ignition angle in a known manner for each control value of the pedal value transmitter 4 in such a way that predetermined ratios of air mass flow to fuel flow rate are maintained in the stationary state that can have different values depending on the operating area. Compliance with a certain ratio can be limited to individual operating areas of the internal combustion engine or can have different values depending on the operating area.
- control unit 2 determines, for each control value of the pedal value transmitter, an input control value for the setting of the throttle valve 12 and for the duration of the injection pulses t i . These pilot control values are then corrected by means of a subordinate control circuit as a function of the air mass flow detected by the air mass meter 11 so that a predetermined ratio of air mass flow to internal combustion flow is maintained in certain operating states.
- this goal is only achieved to the extent that the air mass flow detected by the air mass meter is also identical to the air mass flow actually flowing into the internal combustion engine. However, as stated in the introduction, this requirement is not readily met.
- a map memory 3 is provided according to the present invention, in which correction variables are stored in the form of time constants r depending on the parameters air mass flow ⁇ M p and position change s of the throttle valve angle a.
- the control is based on an air mass flow ⁇ which takes into account the dynamic behavior of the intake system 10, specifically in the form of the time constants stored in the map memory 3.
- the control variables are periodically calculated from the measured variables (air mass flow, speed, control value of the pedal value transmitter) and temporarily stored.
- the partial change Aa of the setting of the throttle valve 12 between two clock pulses is determined by means of a correction unit 20 in the control unit 2.
- a correction section begins, within which the correction calculation is carried out.
- the correction variable r is used for this.
- the map is read out depending on the two parameter values.
- One parameter value is the last measured value of the air mass flow m Mp before a partial change Aa greater than A is determined for the first time.
- the associated correction variable T i is read from the characteristic map based on the same parameter value m M p of the air mass flow; the correction unit 20 thus determines the corrected air mass flow to be used as the basis for the control according to the difference equation after each time cycle where ⁇ Mn is the last measured new value and m Ma the previous value of the air mass flow measured in the time cycle before.
- T i ends as soon as ⁇ n + 1 falls below a minimum value B (preferably equal to ⁇ ). Then the aforementioned correction calculation is carried out after each new measured value of the air mass flow with the same, last T i value until where K is a predeterminable fixed value. As soon as this condition is fulfilled, i.e. the process has largely become stationary, the correction section and with it every further correction calculation ends. The same game repeats itself in a next correction section, which starts again with Aa> A.
- the determination of a corrected air mass flow is therefore limited in time to correction sections. This limitation of the intervention to relatively large triggering partial changes results in greater stability of the control loop, especially with small air mass flows (idling), and a faster intervention when a partial change is greater than the limit value A.
- the map memory 3 for positive and negative position Change changes contain different correction variables r.
- the map memory preferably consists of two partial memories, one of which supplies the correction variables for a positive change in position (acceleration) and the other for a negative change in position (thrust).
- the operating state must first be determined using the aforementioned parameters. For this purpose, the direction of movement of the actuator - sign of the change in position s - of the throttle valve can be evaluated in a known manner.
- the invention can be used in the same way if the pedal value transmitter determines the injection time and thus the size of the fuel flow rate via an operating map and the control unit adjusts the associated air mass flow on the basis of the measurement of the air mass meter.
- the correction according to the invention of the measured value supplied by the air mass meter ensures optimum adaptation of the mass flows even in the dynamic operating range.
- control of the air mass flow and / or fuel quantity flow will depend on numerous other operating parameters in a known manner, such dependencies also being able to be stored in further correction maps.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Ermittlung des den Zylindern einer Brennkraftmaschine zugeführten Luftmassenstromes gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an arrangement for determining the air mass flow supplied to the cylinders of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Die Qualität der Verbrennung des einer Brennkraftmaschine zugeführten Brennstoffes hängt entscheidend davon ab, wie genau die den einzelnen Zylindern einer Brennkraftmaschine tatsächlich zugeführte Luftmassenstrom ermittelt wird; diese kann nämlich aus den verschiedensten Gründen von dem im Ansaugsystem gemessenen Luftmassenstrom abweichen, wobei diese Abweichung noch eine Funktion von Betriebsparametern sein kann.The quality of the combustion of the fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine depends crucially on how exactly the air mass flow actually supplied to the individual cylinders of an internal combustion engine is determined; for various reasons, this can deviate from the mass air flow measured in the intake system, this deviation can also be a function of operating parameters.
Bei der aus der US PS 45 27 530 beschriebenen Anordnung ist daher ein Korrekturspeicher für eine experimentell ermittelte Korrekturgröße vorgesehen, mit der der jeweilige Meßwert des Luftmassenstromes korrigiert wird. Die Korrekturgröße ist dabei abhängig vom Betriebsparameter "Geschwindigkeit der Brennkraftmaschine" und eliminiert Fehler, die aufgrund drehzahlabhängiger Pulsationen des Luftmassenstromes im Ansaugsystem entstehen.In the arrangement described in US Pat. No. 4,527,530, a correction memory is therefore provided for an experimentally determined correction variable with which the respective measured value of the air mass flow is corrected. The correction quantity is dependent on the operating parameter "speed of the internal combustion engine" and eliminates errors that arise due to speed-dependent pulsations of the air mass flow in the intake system.
Diese bekannte Anordnung gemäß Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist jedoch ausdrücklich nur für die Korrektur stationärer Verhältnisse vorgesehen und geeignetHowever, this known arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 is expressly provided and suitable only for the correction of stationary conditions
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, den der Brennkraftmaschine tatsächlich zugeführten Luftmassenstrom auch im dynamischen Bereich mit größerer Genauigkeit zu ermitteln.The invention is therefore based on the object of determining the air mass flow actually supplied to the internal combustion engine with greater accuracy, even in the dynamic range.
Erfindungsgemäß beschreibt daher die Korrekturgröße das dynamische Verhalten des Ansaugsystems zwischen Meßeinrichtung und Brennkraftmaschine und zwar abhängig von den Betriebsparametern
- -Stellungsänderung des Stellgliedes für den Luftmassenstrom und
- -Meßwert des Luftmassenstroms vor der Stellungsänderung des Stellgliedes, im Folgenden als Parameterwert bezeichnet.
- -Position change of the actuator for the air mass flow and
- -Measured value of the air mass flow before the position change of the actuator, hereinafter referred to as the parameter value.
Der in einem Korrekturspeicher abgelegte Wert der Korrekturgrösse ist für eine bestimmte Brennkraftmaschine mit gegebenem Ansaugsystem abhängig von den zuvor genannten Betriebsparametern experimentell bestimmt.The value of the correction quantity stored in a correction memory is determined experimentally for a specific internal combustion engine with a given intake system depending on the previously mentioned operating parameters.
Der Erfindung liegt die Einsicht zugrunde, daß gerade das instationäre, dynamische Verhalten des Ansaugsystems korrekturbedürftig und auch korrigierbar ist. Die Erfindung beruht dabei auf der Beobachtung, daß die verzögerte Reaktion der Brennkraftmaschine auf eine Stellungsänderung des Stellgliedes für den Luftmassenstrom auch auf der Wirkung der Speicherkapazität des Ansaugsystems zwischen Luftmassenmesser und den Zuluftventilen der Brennkraftmaschine beruht: Nach einer plötzlichen Öffnung des beispielweise als Drosselklappe ausgebildeten Stellgliedes dient ein Teil des vom Luftmassenmesser erfaßten Luftmassenstromes zur Auffüllung des Ansaugsystems und fließt nicht in die Brennkraftmaschine. Umgekehrt reduziert sich der in die Brennkraftmaschine fließende Luftmassenstrom nach einem Schließen der Drosselklappe nicht in demselben Maße, wie es vom Luftmassenmesser erfaßt wird; vielmehr fließt ein Teil der in dem Ansaugsystem gespeicherten Luftmasse noch in die Brennkraftmaschine ab.The invention is based on the insight that the transient, dynamic behavior of the intake system is in need of correction and can also be corrected. The invention is based on the observation that the delayed reaction of the internal combustion engine to a change in position of the actuator for the air mass flow is also based on the effect of the storage capacity of the intake system between the air mass meter and the supply air valves of the internal combustion engine: after a sudden opening of the actuator, which is designed, for example, as a throttle valve, is used part of the air mass flow detected by the air mass meter for filling the intake system and does not flow into the internal combustion engine. Conversely, the air mass flow flowing into the internal combustion engine after closing the throttle valve is not reduced to the same extent as is detected by the air mass meter; rather, part of the air mass stored in the intake system still flows into the internal combustion engine.
Der für die Steuerung der Brennkraftmaschine maßgebende Luftmassenstrom wird im Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine periodisch. nach folgender Differenzengleichung ermittelt:
m = m Ma + ( m Mn- m Ma) • 7
Darin bedeuten
- m der der Brennkraftmaschine zugeführte Luftmassenstrom, m Ma der Altwert des gemessenen Luftmassenstroms,
- m Mn der Neuwert des gemessenen Luftmassenstroms und
- 7 die vom Kennfeldspeicher gelieferte Korrekturgröße
- Physikalisch bedeutet dabei die Korrekturgröße 7 eine Zeitkonstante, die das dynamische Verhalten des "Speichers" des Ansaugsystems abhängig von den Betriebsparametern "Luftmassenstrom" und "Stellungsänderung" des Stellgliedes charakterisiert.
m = m Ma + (m Mn - m Ma ) • 7
Mean in it
- m the air mass flow fed to the internal combustion engine, m Ma the old value of the measured air mass flow,
- m Mn the new value of the measured air mass flow and
- 7 the correction quantity supplied by the map memory
- Physically, the correction variable 7 means a time constant that characterizes the dynamic behavior of the "memory" of the intake system depending on the operating parameters "air mass flow" and "change in position" of the actuator.
Die Erfindung wird anhand eines in der Figur - schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles erläutert: Dort ist eine Brennkraftmaschine 1 mit vier Zylindern und einem Ansaugsystem 10 dargestellt, das sich zwischen einem Luftfilter 100 und den Ansaugöffnungen der einzelnen Zylinder erstreckt und das dementsprechend ein zentrales Hauptrohr 101, daran anschließend ein Verteilerrohr 103 und von diesem ausgehende und zu den einzelnen Zylindern führende Zweigrohre 102 aufweist. In dem Hauptrohr 101 ist eine Meßeinrichtung 11 für den Luftmassenstrom - Luftmassenmesser - und danach ein Stellglied 12 für den Luftmassenstrom in Form einer Drosselklappe angeordnet, deren Stellung - Stellungswinkel - von einer Steuereinheit 2 abhängt. In die einzelnen Zweigrohre 102 münden Einpritzventile 13, die ebenfalls von der Steuereinheit 2 - vorzugsweise sequentiell - mit einer Einspritzzeit t; angesteuert werden. Die Steuereinheit 2 bestimmt auch die Zündwinkel β mit dem Zündimpulse an Zündkerzen 14 für die einzelnen Zylinder abgegeben werden. Hierzu werden der Steuereinheit Drehzahl-und Stellungssignale von einem mit der Brennkraftmaschine 1 gekuppelten Impulsgeber 15, Steuerwerte von einem Pedalwertgeber 4 und die Meßwerte ṁ M des Luftmassenmessers 11 zugeführt. Als diesen und weiteren, hier nicht angesprochenen Einflußgrößen ermittelt die Steuereinheit 2 zu jedem Steuerwert des Pedalwertgebers 4 die Einspritzzeit ti der Einspritzventile, die Stellung der Drosselklappe 12 sowie den Zündwinkel in bekannter Weise so, daß im stationären Zustand vorgegebene Verhältnisse von Luftmassenstrom zu Brennstoffmengenstrom eingehalten werden, die auch je nach Betriebsbereich unterschiedliche Werte haben können. Die Einhaltung eines bestimmten Verhältnisses kann dabei auf einzelne Betriebsbereiche der Brennkraftmaschine beschränkt sein oder je nach Betriebsbereich unterschiedliche Werte haben.The invention is explained on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the figure: There, an internal combustion engine 1 with four cylinders and an
Bei einem bekannten luftgeführten System dieser Art ermittelt die Steuereinheit 2 zu jedem Steuerwert des Pedalwertgebers über ein Betriebskennfeld einen Vorsteuerwert für die Einstellung der Drosselklappe 12 und für die Dauer der Einspritzimpulse ti. Diese Vorsteuerwerte werden dann mittels eines unterlagerten Regelkreises in Abhängigkeit von den vom Luftmassenmesser 11 er faßten Luftmassenstrom so korrigiert, daß in bestimmten Betriebszuständen ein vorgegebenes Verhältnis von Luftmassenstrom zu Brennkraftstrom beibehalten wird. Dieses Ziel wird bei bekannten Anlagen dieser Art nur in dem Maße erreicht, wie der vom Luftmassenmesser erfaßte Luftmassenstrom auch identisch ist mit dem tatsächlich in die Brennkraftmaschine fließende Luftmassenstrom. Diese Voraussetzung ist jedoch - wie einleitend ausgeführt - nicht ohne weiteres erfüllt.In a known air-guided system of this type, the control unit 2 determines, for each control value of the pedal value transmitter, an input control value for the setting of the
Um das gewünschte Verhältnis der Mengenströme möglichst auch im instationären Bereich einzuhalten, ist gemäß vorliegender Erfindung ein Kennfeldspeicher 3 vorgesehen, in dem Korrekturgrößen in Form von Zeitkonstanten r in Abhängigkeit von den Parametern Luftmassenstrom ṁ Mp und Stellungsänderung s des Drosselklappenwinkels a abgespeichert sind. Der Steuerung wird ein Luftmassenstrom ṁ zugrunde gelegt, der das dynamische Verhalten des Ansaugsystems 10 berücksichtigt, und zwar in Form der in dem Kennfeldspeicher 3 abgelegten Zeitkonstanten. Hierzu werden - wie in rechnergesteuerten Steuereinheiten üblich - die Steuergrößen (Drosselklappenwinkel, Einspritzzeit) periodisch aus den Meßgrössen (Luftmassenstrom, Drehzahl, Steuerwert des Pedalwertgebers) berechnet und zwischengespeichert. Mit demselben oder einem davon abweichenden Zeittakt wird mittels einer Korrektureinheit 20 in der Steuereinheit 2 jeweils die Teiländerung Aa der Einstellung der Drosselklappe 12 zwischen zwei Taktimpulsen ermittelt.In order to maintain the desired ratio of the mass flows as far as possible also in the non-stationary area, a map memory 3 is provided according to the present invention, in which correction variables are stored in the form of time constants r depending on the parameters air mass flow ṁ M p and position change s of the throttle valve angle a. The control is based on an air mass flow ṁ which takes into account the dynamic behavior of the
Sobald eine Teiländerungen Aa größer als ein Grenzwerte A ist, beginnt ein Korrekturabschnitt, innerhalb dessen die Korrekturrechnung durchgeführt wird. Die Korrekturgröß r wird dazu aus. dem Kennfeld abhängig von den zwei Parameterwerten ausgelesen. Der eine Parameterwert ist der letzte Meßwert des Luftmassenstromes m Mp bevor erstmals eine Teiländerung Aa größer A festgestellt wird. Der zweite Parameterwert ist die Stellungsänderung s, die sich während des Korrekturabschnitts stufenweise ändert und nach jedem Zeittakt als Summe von aufeinanderfolgenden Teiländerungen
wobei ṁ Mn der zuletzt gemessene Neuwert und m Ma der im Zeittakt davor gemessene Altwert des Luftmassenstroms ist.As soon as a partial change Aa is greater than a limit value A, a correction section begins, within which the correction calculation is carried out. The correction variable r is used for this. the map is read out depending on the two parameter values. One parameter value is the last measured value of the air mass flow m Mp before a partial change Aa greater than A is determined for the first time. The second parameter value is the change in position s, which changes step by step during the correction section and after each time cycle as the sum of successive partial changes
where ṁ Mn is the last measured new value and m Ma the previous value of the air mass flow measured in the time cycle before.
Die Ermittlung von Ti endet, sobald Δαn+1 unter einen Mindestwert B (vorzugsweise gleich § ) fällt. Danach wird die vorgenannte Korrekturrechnung nach jedem neuen Meßwert des Luftmassenstromes mit demselben, letzten Ti-Wert solange durchgeführt, bis
wobei K ein vorgebbarer Festwert ist. Sobald diese Bedingung erfüllt ist, der Vorgang also schon weitgehend stationär geworden ist, endet der Korrekturabschnitt und mit ihm jede weitere Kor rekturrechnung. Dasselbe Spiel wiederholt sich in einem nächsten Korrekturabschnitt, der wieder mit Aa>A beginnt. Die Ermittlung eines korrigierten Luftmassenstromes ist also zeitlich auf Korrekturabschnitte beschränkt. Diese Begrenzung des Eingriffes auf relativ große auslösende Teiländerungen hat eine größere Stabilität des Regelkreises, vor allem bei kleinen Luftmassenströmen (Leerlauf), und einen schnelleren Eingriff zur Folge, wenn eine Teiländerung größer als der Grenzwert A ist.The determination of T i ends as soon as Δα n + 1 falls below a minimum value B (preferably equal to §). Then the aforementioned correction calculation is carried out after each new measured value of the air mass flow with the same, last T i value until
where K is a predeterminable fixed value. As soon as this condition is fulfilled, i.e. the process has largely become stationary, the correction section and with it every further correction calculation ends. The same game repeats itself in a next correction section, which starts again with Aa> A. The determination of a corrected air mass flow is therefore limited in time to correction sections. This limitation of the intervention to relatively large triggering partial changes results in greater stability of the control loop, especially with small air mass flows (idling), and a faster intervention when a partial change is greater than the limit value A.
Sofern das dynamische Verhalten beim Öffnen der Drosselklappe - Beschleunigung - anders ist als beim Schließen - Schub, muß der Kennfeldspeicher 3 für positive und negative Stellungsänderungen unterschiedliche Korrekturgrößen r enthalten. Vorzugsweise besteht der Kennfeldspeicher in einem solchen Fall aus zwei Teilspeichern, von denen der eine die Korrekturgrössen bei positiver Stellungsänderung (Beschleunigung) und der andere bei negativer Stellungsänderung (Schub) liefert. Hierbei ist vor dem Auslesen eines der beiden Teilspeicher mit den vorgenannten Parametern zuerst der Betriebszustand zu ermitteln. Hierzu kann in bekannter Weise die Bewegungsrichtung des Stellgliedes - Vorzeichen der Stellungsänderung s - der Drosselklappe ausgewertet werden.If the dynamic behavior when opening the throttle valve - acceleration - is different than when closing - thrust, the map memory 3 for positive and negative position Change changes contain different correction variables r. In such a case, the map memory preferably consists of two partial memories, one of which supplies the correction variables for a positive change in position (acceleration) and the other for a negative change in position (thrust). Before reading out one of the two partial memories, the operating state must first be determined using the aforementioned parameters. For this purpose, the direction of movement of the actuator - sign of the change in position s - of the throttle valve can be evaluated in a known manner.
Die Erfindung ist in gleicher Weise anwendbar, wenn der Pedalwertgeber über ein Betriebskennfeld die Einspritzzeit und damit die Größe des Brennstoffmengenstromes bestimmt und die Steuereinheit den dazugehörigen Luftmassenstrom aufgrund der Messung des Luftmassenmessers einstellt. Auch hier gewährleistet die erfindungsgemäße Korrektur des vom Luftmassenmesser gelieferten Meßwertes eine optimale Anpassung der Massenströme auch im dynamischen Betriebsbereich.The invention can be used in the same way if the pedal value transmitter determines the injection time and thus the size of the fuel flow rate via an operating map and the control unit adjusts the associated air mass flow on the basis of the measurement of the air mass meter. Here, too, the correction according to the invention of the measured value supplied by the air mass meter ensures optimum adaptation of the mass flows even in the dynamic operating range.
In den meisten Fällen wird die Steuerung des Luftmassenstromes und/oder Brennstoffmengenstromes noch von zahlreichen weiteren Betriebsparametern in bekannter Weise abhängig sein, wobei solche Abhängigkeiten auch in weiteren Korrekturkennfeldern abgelegt sein können.In most cases, the control of the air mass flow and / or fuel quantity flow will depend on numerous other operating parameters in a known manner, such dependencies also being able to be stored in further correction maps.
