Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ignition system for internal combustion engines for monitoring individual ignition processes according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • An ignition system with a monitoring device from DE-A-41 16 642 is already known.
  • the spark duration and spark voltage are recorded by detecting the burning voltage transformed on the primary side and compared with limit values for correct ignition, so that when a faulty combustion is detected, a corresponding error signal, for example an optical signal, is output on the dashboard of the vehicle.
  • the limit values for correct ignition depending on the operating range are determined in the application and stored in a memory.
  • the ignition system according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the limit values for correct ignition are not fixed, but are adapted to changing conditions, such as ignition coils with other parameters. Changes in the parameters of an ignition coil can therefore be taken into account, for example, after the ignition coil has been replaced in the workshop and an ignition coil from another manufacturer has been used by adapting the limit values. The result of this is that an ignition fault is not erroneously recognized after an ignition coil replacement, even though the ignition was correct or that a signal for correct ignition is output while the ignition was faulty. It is furthermore advantageous that reference values for the limit values are formed correct ignition, the measured variables spark duration and operating voltage are used, which are measured in a cylinder which is fed by the same ignition coil.
  • the measure specified in the subclaims It is particularly advantageous to store the measured values of the spark duration and the operating voltage, which are used for forming the reference value, in load and speed classes. Ultimately, it is advantageous to cyclically renew the values for the reference value formation, using, for example, the last 10 past values for the reference value formation and replacing the oldest value with the newly measured value after each ignition. Ultimately, it is advantageous to use only the measured values of the cylinders which are fed by the same ignition coil for the comparison. With an internal combustion engine with rotating distribution, the measured values of all cylinders can thus be compared, while when using double spark coils, for example, only the cylinders that are fed by this double spark coil are compared.
  • FIG. 1 shows the basic structure for detecting the spark duration and the operating voltage with a double spark coil and spark plugs
  • FIG. 2 shows the voltage curve in normal operation
  • FIG. 2a the working cycle
  • FIG. 2b the exhaust cycle
  • FIG. 3 shows the voltage curve when the spark plug 2 has a short to ground
  • FIG. 3a shows the voltage curve in the working cycle and FIG. 3b in the exhaust cycle
  • FIG. 4a the voltage curve in the exhaust cycle and in FIG. 4b a working cycle is shown
  • Figure 5 is a flow chart for error detection.
  • FIG. 1 shows a possibility of detecting and monitoring the voltage on the primary winding 10 of a double spark coil 11.
  • a tap 13 is provided between the primary winding 10 and the control transistor 12, which is led to the emitter of a pnp transistor.
  • the burning voltage induced on the primary side is thus conducted via a voltage divider 15/16 to the positive input of a comparator 17.
  • a reference voltage U REF is present at the second input of the comparator 17 and is specified, for example, by a control unit 18 for the respective operating state.
  • a spark duration corresponding to the output of the comparator 17 digital signal available, which is led to the control unit 18.
  • Another possibility is to lead the induced operating voltage directly to the control unit 18 via the pnp transistor 14 and the voltage divider 15/16, in order to evaluate the course of the operating voltage in addition to the spark duration.
  • a spark plug ZK1 and ZK2 is assigned to each end of the secondary winding 19.
  • the spark plug ZK2 is assigned a dashed connection 20 and a resistor 21 with dashed lines.
  • These representations 20 and 21 are intended to illustrate a shunt resistor on the spark plug ZK2, which is formed, for example, by contamination of the spark plug.
  • Figure 2 shows the voltage curve at the spark plugs ZK1 and ZK2 during combustion, with in Figure 2a the voltage curve U (ZK1), the spark plug ZK1 which is in the working cycle, and in Figure 2b the voltage curve U (ZK2), which is in the exhaust cycle Spark plug ZK2 shown.
  • the operating voltage in the work cycle is significantly greater than in the exhaust cycle due to the gas mixture and response voltage of the candles, but the spark lengths t1 to t2 are approximately the same.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 each show the voltage curve at the spark plugs, while there is a short to ground on the spark plug ZK2, in FIG. 3 the spark plug ZK2 with a short to ground is in the exhaust stroke and in FIG. 4 in the working stroke.
  • FIG. 3a shows the voltage curve u (ZK1) on the spark plug ZK1 in the work cycle, while in FIG. 3b the spark plug ZK2 is in the exhaust cycle with a short to ground. Since no energy is converted at the spark plug ZK2, but the same amount of energy is available as in normal operation, the spark duration t1 to t2 will be longer.
  • step 31 the burning voltage U1 and U2 as well as the time of the breakdown ignition and the time of the end of the spark are determined to determine the spark duration t1 to t2.
  • step 32 these recorded values are assigned to the respective load or speed and are thus stored in tables.
  • the subsequent query 33 it is examined whether the detected values of the operating voltage and the spark duration associated with an ignition coil are approximately the same, taking into account an applicable tolerance variable T. If query 33 could be answered with yes, that is to say the measured variables correspond to the previously formed reference values, the yes output leads to a work step 34 in which the ignition is assessed as in order. A no to query 33 leads to work step 35, in which the examined ignition is rated as faulty.
  • error measures such as, for example, switching off the injection in this cylinder or increasing the voltage supply at the ignition coil are initiated so that in this case the spark plug can possibly burn itself free.
  • the subsequent ignition is examined in an analogous manner.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système d'allumage pour moteurs à combustion interne, pourvu d'un système de détection des défauts d'allumage. Ce système d'allumage comporte à cet effet des moyens permettant de détecter la tension de combustion transformée du côté primaire et d'évaluer la durée de l'étincelle et/ou la tension de combustion d'allumage de manière à ce que la comparaison s'opère avec des valeurs limites appropriées à un allumage correct. Les valeurs limites appropriées à un allumage correct sont dérivées des valeurs mesurées d'un allumage de référence. L'allumage de référence correspond à l'allumage déclenché par le potentiel d'énergie de la même bobine d'allumage.
