Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a starter protection system for such an internal combustion engine is known from EP application 7212.
  • the starter circuit is interrupted when the switching frequency is exceeded when the engine is started until the frequency signal of the frequency signal generator drops below a second switching frequency which is close to zero when the engine is running down; then the starter circuit is closed again.
  • this starter protection system does not provide reliable protection in all possible operating states of the engine.
  • the starter is actuated by closing the starter switch again, although the engine is not yet at a standstill.
  • the starter can be actuated in the run-down phase of the engine.
  • the second switching frequency of the frequency relay below which the starter can be operated again, is preferably located close to 0; as long as the switching frequency is greater than 0, however, there remains the danger of starting into the motor which is coasting down.
  • US Pat. No. 4,070,585 discloses a starter protection system in which the starter circuit is interrupted for a first time interval when the starter switch is opened, but the starter circuit is only opened after a minimal delay of the order of magnitude 20 to 30 msec.
  • the control is designed such that the starter circuit is opened for a predetermined time interval (approx. 2 sec) when the engine has come to a standstill.
  • the known starter protection devices controlled via the start of charging of the alternator also do not always work satisfactorily reliably. Again and again it happens in practice that the engine is started. One reason for this was the dependence of the start of charge speed on a number of factors such as temperature, battery voltage, excitation power, generator tolerances etc. Under unfavorable conditions it can happen that, although the engine is already running, the alternator is not yet charging, so that the starter can still be operated. This can also be the case if the alternator or regulator is defective. The result is damage to the engine and / or starter.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a generic internal combustion engine, in which an actuation of the electric starter with the engine running and swinging out is reliably prevented under all operating conditions.
  • the circuit arrangement comprises two time delay elements and the shutdown relay then also controls "opening the starter circuit" for a first time interval when the starter switch is opened, and for a second time interval when the frequency of the frequency signal decreases as the motor speed decreases due to a decrease in the switching frequency of the frequency relay.
  • the switch-off relay is thus primarily in direct actuated depending on the speed of the internal combustion engine. As soon as the frequency signal proportional to the engine speed exceeds the switching frequency, the frequency relay of the circuit arrangement controls the switch-off relay in such a way that it interrupts the starter circuit. Whether or not the alternator is already charging at this speed has no influence on the starter protection device. Thus, neither the operating conditions of the internal combustion engine play a role, nor the functional state of the alternator and the regulator.
  • a first time delay element of the circuit arrangement By also interrupting the starter circuit via a first time delay element of the circuit arrangement for a predetermined time interval even when the starter switch is opened, ie the terminal "50" is de-energized, it is excluded that after only a brief actuation of the starter scarf - ters, whereby the engine is turned on, but does not reach its starting speed, repeated actuation of the starter is possible as long as the engine is not swinging out.
  • the corresponding time interval is set depending on the motor type so that the motor has come to a standstill before the starter can be operated again.
  • the order of magnitude for the time interval of the first time delay element is approximately 8 seconds.
  • the second time delay element provided within the scope of the invention, which after the frequency of the frequency signal drops below the switching point of the frequency relay, holds the switch-off relay in the position in which the starter circuit is interrupted, prevents the starter from starting in the oscillating engine, especially after it has been switched off from "normal" operation.
  • the delay time is set so that it is always greater than the swing-out time, ie the time from falling below the lower switching frequency until the motor comes to a complete standstill.
  • the second time interval is thus particularly dependent on the switching frequency of the frequency relay, ie on the engine speed at which The frequency relay would enable the starter to be operated again when the engine speed decreased.
  • the starter protection circuit provided in the context of the invention can be used in all internal combustion engines, even in those which are equipped with a regulator which only slowly extinguishes the charge control lamp when charging begins. A fluttering of the switch-off relay, which has occurred up to now, cannot occur even with the latter internal combustion engines if they are designed according to the invention.
  • a frequency relay as used according to the invention in the circuit arrangement for controlling the switch-off relay, is known as such and is commercially available; Such frequency relays can be obtained, for example, from Rheintacho GmbH & Co. in 7800 Koch.
  • the frequency setpoint at which the known frequency relay closes the working circuit can be set.
  • the construction of a frequency relay as such is therefore not the subject of the present invention.
  • the switching frequency set on the frequency relay depends on the ratio of the internal combustion engine speed and the frequency signal of the frequency signal generator, which is dependent on a possible translation. The latter is particularly dependent on the type and arrangement of the frequency signal transmitter.
  • the frequency relay is preferably connected on the input side to the terminal "W" of the alternator.
  • a phase of the three-phase current generated by the alternator forms the frequency signal controlling the frequency relay; the alternator then represents the frequency signal generator.
  • frequency signal generator on the internal combustion engine.
  • a Hall generator or an inductive frequency transmitter is preferably used as the frequency signal transmitter.
  • the arrangement of these frequency signal transmitters is preferably on the starter ring gear. In this case the Fre- frequency of the frequency signal is identical to the speed of the internal combustion engine.
  • the frequency relay has two different switching points, depending on the direction in which the frequency of the frequency signal changes, ie whether the frequency increases or decreases with increasing or decreasing engine speed.
  • the switching frequency is greater with increasing frequency of the frequency signal than with decreasing frequency. This ensures that on the one hand the starter circuit is not interrupted prematurely, ie not before the internal combustion engine runs safely, but on the other hand the starter does so even if the speed of the internal combustion engine drops to very low values (less than Self-running speed) remains locked.
  • the frequency relay actuates the switch-off relay in a manner that interrupts the starter circuit when the frequency rises above 300 Hz, whereas if the frequency of the frequency signal drops below 10 Hz, it switches the switch-off relay in one of the starter circuit closing way operated.
  • the circuit arrangement with the frequency relay and the two time delay elements is manufactured using SMD technology and is cast in a housing so that it is vibration-resistant and that the housing is attached directly to the internal combustion engine.
  • SMD technology which is known as such in the prior art, results in a circuit arrangement which withstands high mechanical and thermal loads.
  • the housing comprising the mounting arrangement being able to be attached directly to the internal combustion engine.
  • Such a direct attachment of the circuit arrangement to the internal combustion engine is particularly advantageous from the point of view of converting conventional internal combustion engines to those according to the invention.
  • the housing comprising the circuit arrangement needs to be attached to a suitable location on the engine block; the cable, which has connected the shutdown relay to the controller in known internal combustion engines, only has to be plugged in such a way that it now connects the shutdown relay to the output of the control.
  • the inputs of the control are connected to the frequency signal transmitter, in particular the "W" terminal of the alternator, the "50" terminal of the starter switch and the voltage source, the conversion is complete.
  • the switch-off relay can be designed in any way. However, it is expedient to provide a polarized relay, the switching of the switch-off relay being such that the starter circuit is closed when the control side is de-energized and opened when the coil is energized. This ensures that the engine can be started even if the control fails.
  • FIG. 1 shows a basic circuit diagram of an internal combustion engine according to the invention with starter protection
  • FIG. 2 shows a diagram to illustrate the mode of operation of the circuit provided according to FIG. 1.
  • a three-phase alternator 2 is mechanically coupled to the internal combustion engine 1.
  • the electric starter 3 is provided on this.
  • the starter battery 4 provides the electrical energy required for starting.
  • the starter switch 5 is arranged in the starter circuit.
  • the switch-off relay 6 is provided in the starter circuit. It closes the starter circuit as long as there is no potential at its control input 6a. This means that the switch-off relay interrupts the starter circuit as soon as a sufficiently high potential is present at its control input 6a.
  • the control side of the switch-off relay 6 is connected to the output 7a of the circuit arrangement (control) 7.
  • the working input 7b of the controller 7 is connected to the positive potential of the starter battery 4.
  • the control input 7c of the control 7 is connected to the terminal "W" of the alternator 2 and the control input 7d of the control is connected to the terminal "50" of the starter switch 5.
  • the alternator speed which is proportional to the speed of the internal combustion engine 1 is equal to the frequency of the frequency signal which corresponds to that in the circuitry. order 7 provided frequency relay is supplied.
  • the working side of the controller 7 is interrupted, i.e. the working input 7b and the working output 7a are electrically separated from one another.
  • the control input 6a of the switch-off relay 6 is potential-free and the working side is conductive, i.e. the terminals 6d and 6c are conductively connected to one another. If the starter switch 5 is actuated in this situation, there is positive potential at the terminal "50" of the starter 3, so that it starts up.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the starting process as a curve of the frequency signal of the frequency generator over time.
  • the starter 3 the internal combustion engine 1 and the alternator 2 coupled to it run up; the frequency f of the voltage which can be tapped at the terminal "W" of the alternator 2 thus also increases.
  • the frequency exceeds the upper switching point Fi set on the frequency relay of the controller 7, a connection is established between the terminals 7a and 7b on the working side of the controller 7.
  • the coil 6b of the switch-off relay 6 energized, and the switch-off relay 6 opens on the work side, so that despite the starter switch 5 still being operated, the power supply to the starter 3 is interrupted.
  • This switching state is maintained solely by the frequency relay until the frequency of the frequency that can be picked up at the terminal "W" of the alternator 2 drops below the lower switching frequency F2 of the frequency relay.
  • the second time delay element provided in the circuit arrangement 7 is activated, which the conductive connection between the terminals 7b and 7a of the control for the second time interval __ «. t2 maintained.
  • the coil 6b of the switch-off relay 6 is therefore still energized, and the working side of the switch-off relay remains interrupted.

  • the first time delay element which blocks the starter for the time interval ⁇ ti, has an effect in particular when the motor has not started, ie the frequency of the frequency signal has remained below the upper switching frequency Fi.

Abstract

Un relais déconnecteur (6) est inclus dans le circuit de courant de démarrage d'un moteur à combustion interne (1) ayant un démarreur électrique (3). Le relais déconnecteur (6) est commandé par un circuit comprenant un relais de fréquence et deux éléments retardateurs. Une première entrée (7c) de commande du circuit est connectée à un générateur de signaux de fréquence qui émet un signal de fréquence proportionnel au régime du moteur à combustion interne (1). Une deuxième entrée (7d) de commande du circuit est connectée à la borne ''50'' du commutateur démarreur (5). Lorsque la fréquence du signal de fréquence dépasse un point déterminé de commutation du relais de fréquence, le circuit (7) commande le relais déconnecteur (6) de sorte que celui-ci coupe le circuit de courant de démarrage. Il en est de même pendant un premier intervalle de temps qui suit l'ouverture du commutateur démarreur (5), et pendant un deuxième intervalle de temps, lorsque la fréquence du générateur de signaux de fréquence descend au-dessous de la fréquence de commutation du relais de fréquence.
