Definitions

  • the invention relates to a speed controller for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a speed controller for internal combustion engines is already known from DE-PS 19 00 675.
  • This speed controller has a centrifugal force adjuster which generates an actuating force corresponding to the engine speed and which acts via a control linkage on a control rod serving for quantity control.
  • a tab is arranged between the control rod and the control linkage, which ends with a control lever.
  • a pushbutton is spring-mounted and swivel-mounted. This pushbutton interacts with a full load stop.
  • the sensing element scans a cam whose contour is modeled on the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine.
  • the tab transmits this movement to the control rod. As a result, a full-load delivery rate corresponding to the desired torque curve of the internal combustion engine is achieved.
  • the sensing element is brought into a position via the control linkage which enables it to pivot under the full load stop, as a result of which the control rod comes into the starting position.
  • the starting quantity emitted by the fuel injection pump when starting is above the full-load delivery quantity, since condensation losses in the combustion chambers of the cold internal combustion engine are taken into account.
  • the metered starting quantity is overdimensioned due to no longer occurring condensation losses, the excess fuel fraction is burned incompletely and repelled as a soot cloud. This so-called warm start smoke burst is to be prevented because of the high demands that are placed on the exhaust gas quality today.
  • a speed controller for internal combustion engines with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 87/03647.
  • the speed controller according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that a temperature-dependent starting quantity and a full load quantity of the speed and the torque curve of the internal combustion engine can be directly assigned via an additional control edge of an additional stop and a sensing element influencing the quantity control element of the internal combustion engine. As a result, low-emission emissions values can be achieved during a warm start and the specific performance of the internal combustion engine in terms of its fuel consumption can be increased.
  • FIG. 1 shows a simplified illustration of a speed controller and FIG. 2 shows a partial section of the speed controller with stops for fuel metering in full-load operation and an actuator.
  • FIG. 1 the essential parts of an all-speed controller are shown.
  • the speed controller is attached to a fuel injection pump, of which only the housing 10, a camshaft 11 and a control rod 12 serving as a quantity control element are shown here.
  • the camshaft 11 is driven at a speed proportional to the number of revolutions of the internal combustion engine and drives a flyweight adjuster 13.
  • the centrifugal weight adjuster 13 has two centrifugal weights 14 which move under the effect of the centrifugal forces increasing with increasing rotational speed against the forces of regulating springs 16 and actuate a regulating sleeve 18 via angled lever 17.
  • the regulator sleeve 18 is provided with an annular groove 19 into which, as part of a regulator linkage 21, a regulating lever 22 engages with one end, while the other end of the regulating lever 22 is connected to a tab 23 of the regulating rod 12.
  • the control rod 12 is displaceable in the adjustment direction 24 indicated by a double arrow, a shift to the left resulting in an increasing injection quantity (+) and a shift to the right resulting in a decreasing injection quantity (-).
  • An additional support 28 is pivotally attached to the basic support 26 by means of an axle 29 fastened to the basic support 26. The pivotal movement of the additional support 28 is limited by two adjoining stops which are mounted next to one another in the cover 20, on the one hand by an actuator 31 and on the other hand by an adjusting screw 32 which, relative to the axis 29, is opposite the actuator 31.
  • the additional support 28 has, based on the full load stop 27, an additional stop 33 which is also designed as a cam and which is mounted on a bolt 34 in a bore 36 which is arranged at right angles to the axis 29 and on the other hand to the actuator 31 and to the adjusting screw 32 is.
  • Control edges are formed on the full-load stop 27 and on the additional stop 33 on the end face, facing away from the bore 36, on the one hand a full-load control edge 37 and on the other hand an additional control edge 38.
  • the two control edges 37, 38 can be non-positively acted upon by a sensing element 39, one end area of which is arranged approximately at right angles to the alignment of the control edges 37, 38 and the other end area of which is connected to the control lever 22.
  • the position of the sensing element 39 influences the position of the control lever 22 and thus indirectly the fuel injection quantity.
  • the additional stop 33 can be brought into a position by displacing the bolt 34 in the bore 36, in which it determines the position of the sensing element 39 instead of the full-load control edge 37 with its additional control edge 38.
  • the additional stop 33 is guided here by an adapter unit 41 fastened to the controller housing 25, the actuating movement of which is transmitted as a function of the charge air pressure of the internal combustion engine via an intermediate lever 42 to a pivot pin 43 on the additional stop 33.
  • the base support 26, which is fastened to the cover 20 by means not shown, is positioned vertically by spacer plates 46 inserted between the controller housing 25 and the cover 20, which serve to compensate for tolerances, while the horizontal positioning takes place via dowel pins, not shown.
  • the actuator 31 is designed as a temperature-controlled expansion element and, on the end, resting on the base support 26, has a plunger 47 which transmits the vertical actuating movement of the actuator 31.
  • the additional carrier 28 follows the actuating movements of the actuator 31 against the restoring force of a spring 48 which, relative to the axis 29, lies opposite the plunger 47.
  • the spring 48 is received in a bore 49 of the cover 20 and in a recess 50 of the additional carrier 28 lying in alignment with the bore 49.
  • the pivoting movement of the additional carrier 28 against the actuating force of the spring 48 is limited by the stop of the adjusting screw 32 on a base 51 of the recess 50.
  • the adjusting screw 32 is designed as a lockable adjusting screw and is used for the vertical positioning of the additional control edge 38 during the starting process, which is based on a cold operating temperature located internal combustion engine. This so-called cold start, which takes place at temperatures below the freezing point, is associated with a vertical displacement of the plunger 47 against the direction of the arrow 52. As a result, the additional support 26 pivots counterclockwise until the set screw 32 bears against the base 51. This position is referred to as a cold start lock.
  • the additional scanning surface 38 is displaced vertically in the direction of arrow 52 in such a way that it is outside the detection range of the sensing element 39, which is only shown schematically in FIG , limited starting position from a starting quantity stop, not shown. This process is called start approval.
  • the additional stop 33 is drawn in the two possible end positions.
  • the additional stop 33 is in the position shown in dash-dotted lines and is in the closest approximation to the position of the feeler element 39. Since the full-load fuel quantity is matched to the boost pressure in supercharged engines, the boost pressure is low in the lower speed range and therefore the weight of the air filling in the engine cylinders is low. The full load quantity must therefore also be adapted to the reduced air weight in the appropriate ratio.
  • the contour of the additional control edge 38 serves this purpose.
  • a warm start If the internal combustion engine is warmed up to operating temperature after the cold start and if the internal combustion engine is started again after a brief shutdown, this is referred to as a warm start.
  • the plunger 47 is displaced in the direction of the arrow 52 and the additional stop 33 is pivoted under the action of the spring 48 so that the additional control edge 38 lies in the detection range of the sensing element 39 and the sensing element 39 comes into contact with the additional sensing surface 35.
  • This position is referred to as the suction control position, in which there is no boost pressure and results in a reduced starting quantity compared to the cold start, which is measured so that all metered fuel can be burned and the emission of incompletely burned fuel is avoided with the formation of a so-called warm start smoke burst.
  • the additional control edge 38 has an auxiliary control edge 54 for these motors. This is shown in dotted lines in FIG. 2 and is set back so far with respect to the additional control edge 38 that during the warm start the sensing element 39 comes into a position which results in an increased fuel metering compared to the suction control position, the dimensioning of which allows these engines to be started.
  • the additional stop 33 can be adjusted by the adapter unit 41 under high load, corresponding to a high boost pressure, to such an extent that its additional control edge 38, based on the pushbutton 39, retracts to such an extent that the pushbutton 39 comes into contact with the stationary full-load control edge 37 of the full-load stop 27 and the course of the full-load control edge 37 determines the full-load delivery rate in this operating state of the fuel injection pump.
  • the actuator 31 is replaced by the spring 48 in a second exemplary embodiment and a memory spring is used instead of the original spring 48.
  • the memory spring has the property that its spring constant changes depending on the temperature. Different force ratios are possible with respect to the spring 48 replacing the actuator 31. In the cold start, the spring force of the spring 48 is greater than the spring force of the memory spring. The situation is reversed during a warm start. Depending on the temperature, this leads to different pivoting positions of the additional stop 33 and enables the same adjustment processes as in the embodiment shown.
  • a memory spring is used in the same way, but no adaptation unit 41 is used as in the illustrated exemplary embodiment.
  • This arrangement enables the same setting processes described above, but without the boost pressure function of the adaptation unit 41.

Abstract

Dans des régulateurs centrifuges de tous régimes qui commandent en fonction de la pression d'admission la pleine charge de la pompe correspondante d'injection de carburant, il faut réduire l'admission de démarrage à des températures élevées de fonctionnement du moteur à combusion interne afin d'éviter l'émission soudaine de fumée lors du démarrage à chaud. A cet effet, le régulateur de régime comprend outre un support de base (26) un support supplémentaire (28). Le support supplémentaire (28) est monté rotatif sur le support de base (26) et peut pivoter entre deux butées de régulation (31, 32). Outre une butée de pleine charge (27) située sur le support de base (26), le support supplémentaire (28) comprend une butée supplémentaire (33) déplacée transversalement au sens de rotation du support de base (26) en fonction de la pression d'admission par une unité d'adaptation (41). La butée de régulation (31) forme un organe de régulation (31) à commande thermique qui place la butée supplémentaire (33) de sorte qu'un organe capteur (39) dont la position est déterminante pour le dosage de carburant pousse la butée supplémentaire (33) hors de la zone de détection de l'organe capteur (39) à des températures réduites de fonctionnement du moteur à combustion interne, ce qui permet d'admettre les doses élevées requises de carburant, alors qu'en cas de démarrage à chaud, la butée supplémentaire (33) pénètre dans la zone de détection de l'organe capteur (39), limitant les doses de carburant et empêchant l'émission soudaine de fumée lors du démarrage à chaud.
