Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling the supply of glow plugs to a diesel engine. It is well known that a diesel engine requires a certain temperature for the ignition of the air-fuel mixture, with spontaneous combustion. When the engine is cold, the compression of the mixture alone does not allow the ignition temperature to be reached and the mixture must then be preheated by means of glow plugs.
  • the glow plugs fitted to diesel engines are electronically controlled so as to regulate the duration of preheating. Thanks to this electronic control, it is even planned to power these spark plugs during engine operation after starting in order to improve combustion, thus avoiding unstable rpm and rising smoke while reducing noise.
  • This post-heating of the mixture is obtained by the continuous supply of the candles, which is however cut off, either when the temperature of the candles exceeds a threshold, or by a time delay.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the glow plugs of a diesel engine incorporating post-heating without problem of plug resistance with a constant electrical balance, intended to reduce smoke emissions when cold and improve the regularity of the engine speed.
  • a control device for these glow plugs comprises an electronic unit 3 powered by the vehicle battery and comprising a microprocessor circuit 4 controlling power relays 40 intended to direct the power coming from the battery to the spark plugs 2i.
  • the information on the engine water temperature is indicated to the microprocessor 4 by a thermal switch 5.
  • the engine load information is also delivered to the microprocessor 4 by the position of the load lever 6 of the pump injecting the fuel into the engine cylinders 1.
  • a warning light 8 indicates that the glow plugs 2i are on or off.
  • the candle feed control method according to the invention has three main phases, as shown in the operating diagram in FIG. 2.
  • the first conventional phase of glow plug preheating takes place between the instant in which the engine is brought into contact and the instant td of starting and its duration T1 is controlled by the engine compartment temperature.
  • the water thermal switch 5 closes if the water temperature reaches a given threshold.
  • the extinction of the preheating warning light 8 after a period of T0, indicates that the vehicle is ready to start.
  • the glow plugs remain under tension in order to maintain the temperature at a value essential for the initiation of the combustion of air-fuel mixture.
  • all the glow plugs are fed simultaneously.
  • the second phase of the control process takes place from the start of the engine, from time td and for a period T2 fixed, counted from the instant tD at the end of the start sequence.
  • the method comprises a third phase of controlling the supply of the N candles, alternately by group of n candles so that the product of the number of groups of candles, ie N / n , by the feed-in duty cycle of each group, either R, or equal to unity: NOT not x R 1
  • the method according to the invention can control the supply of the spark plugs, one after the other with a feed cyclic ratio equal to 1/4 or else two groups of two candles each, one after the other, with a duty cycle of 1/2.
  • the control process can control the supply of the glow plugs in three different ways, while keeping a constant electrical balance: - either candle by candle with a feed cyclic ratio equal to 1/6, - are in groups of two candles with a duty cycle of 1/3, - are in groups of 3 candles with a duty cycle of 1/2.
  • This third phase of controlling the alternating supply of the N spark plugs has a duration referenced T3 in FIG. 2, which is a function either of the engine water temperature or of the engine load known by the position of the load lever fuel injection pump.
  • the supply of spark plugs according to the invention is also subject to the water temperature ⁇ of the engine so that, if it exceeds a maximum threshold, 60 ° C. for example, the supply of spark plugs post-heating is permanently cut to prevent deterioration.
  • Thermocon tact 5 closes as soon as this maximum temperature ⁇ is reached.
  • a definitive interruption of the alternating post-heating phase is provided by a maximum use delay, of duration TMAX from the instant tD of end of start sequence. If, after starting, the engine stalls, there is system protection against discharging the battery.
