Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Einstellen der Bewegung eines leistungsverändernden Regelorgans einer Brennkraftmaschine für ein Kraftfahrzeug, bei dem die Stellung eines Gaspedals erfaßt wird und in Abhängigkeit der Stellung des Gaspedals eine Regelgröße für das leistungsverändernde Regelorgan ermittelt wird. Das leistungsverändernde Regelorgan ist dabei eine in einem Saugrohr angeordnete Drosselklappe.The invention relates to a method for adjusting the movement of a power changing Control element of an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle, in which the position of a Accelerator pedal is detected and a controlled variable for depending on the position of the accelerator pedal the regulating body that changes performance is determined. The regulating body that changes performance is a throttle valve arranged in an intake manifold.

Bei einer Verstellung eines leistungsverändernden Regelorgans proportional zur Betätigung des Gaspedals durch den Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeuges tritt das Problem auf, daß es bei einem zu schnellen, Öffnen beispielsweise der Drosselklappe, zu einer unvollständigen Verbrennung im Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine kommt. Dies führt wiederum zu einer erhöhten Schadstoffemission und zu einem unnötig hohen Verbrauch von Kraftstoff. Andererseits kann in bestimmten Fällen ein zu schnelles Reagieren des leistungsabhängigen Regelorgans ein ruckartiges Erhöhen bzw. Verringern der Leistung der Brennkraftmaschine verursachen, was sich negativ auf den Fahrkomfort auswirkt.When adjusting a power-changing control element proportional to the actuation the accelerator pedal by the driver of the motor vehicle, the problem arises that it Too fast, for example opening the throttle valve, to incomplete combustion comes in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. This in turn leads to one increased pollutant emissions and unnecessarily high fuel consumption. on the other hand In certain cases, the performance-based Control device a jerky increase or decrease the power of the internal combustion engine cause, which has a negative impact on driving comfort.

Zur Lösung dieses Problems ist in der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 41 08 956 A1 eine Vorrichtung zum Verzögern der Bewegung eines leistungsabhängigen Regelorgans angegeben, wobei das Gaspedal und das leistungsabhängige Regelorgan - Drosselklappe oder das die Kraftstoffmenge vorgebende Stellglied - im Sinne einer nicht starren Verbindung über ein Druckorgan, das auf die Bewegung des Regelorgans gegenüber der Betätigung durch das Stellorgan (Gaspedal) verzögernd einwirkt, gekoppelt sind.In order to solve this problem, German Offenlegungsschrift DE 41 08 956 A1 Device for decelerating the movement of a performance-dependent control element specified, the accelerator pedal and the performance-dependent control element - throttle valve or the the fuel quantity-setting actuator - in the sense of a non-rigid connection via Pressure element that is based on the movement of the control element relative to the actuation by the Actuating element (accelerator pedal) acts delayed, are coupled.

Das Druckorgan umfaßt ein mit dem Gaspedal verbundenes Zylindergehäuse und ein darin geführtes Kolbenelement, das mit der Drosselklappe verbunden ist. Der so gebildete Druckraum ist einmal mit dem Saugrohr hinter der Drosselklappe und andererseits über eine einstellbare Drossel mit dem Umgebungsdruck verbunden.The pressure element comprises a cylinder housing connected to the accelerator pedal and a cylinder housing therein guided piston element which is connected to the throttle valve. The pressure chamber thus formed is once with the intake manifold behind the throttle valve and on the other hand via an adjustable Throttle connected to the ambient pressure.

Während eines Beschleunigungsvorganges wird über den sich im Druckraum durch den sich reduziert einstellenden Unterdruck, der sich als Gleichgewicht aus Saugrohrdruck über die Drossel nachströmenden Außenluft einstellt, das Kolbenelement nachgeführt, so daß die Drosselklappe sich vollständig öffnet.During an acceleration process, the pressure in the pressure chamber is changed by the reduces negative pressure, which is a balance of intake manifold pressure across the Throttle adjoining outside air adjusts the piston element so that the Throttle valve opens completely.

Neben dem Nachteil der mechanischen Lösung, die zusätzlich Bauraum in Anspruch nimmt, bietet diese Lösung keinerlei Möglichkeit die Verzögerung in Abhängigkeit weiterer Parameter, wie beispielsweise der Betriebsparameter der Brennkraftmaschine, einzustellen. Zweifelhaft ist auch, ob tatsächlich eine definierte Kraftstoffzumessung bei einer derartigen Einstellung der Luftzufuhr zum Erhalt eines stöchiometrischen Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnisses möglich ist.In addition to the disadvantage of the mechanical solution, which also takes up space, this solution offers no possibility of delay depending on other parameters, such as the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine. doubtful is also whether there is actually a defined fuel metering with such a setting the air supply to obtain a stoichiometric fuel / air ratio possible is.

Weiterhin ist durch die DE 3 722 088 A1 ein Verfahren zum Steuern einer Brennkraftmaschine für ein Kraftfahrzeug bekannt, bei dem die Drosselklappenstellung in Abhängigkeit des Gaspedals und des ermittelten Schlupfs des Kraftfahrzeugs bestimmt wird, um ein Durchdrehen der Räder zu verhindern. Die US 5,084821 offenbart ein Verfahren, bei dem in Abhängigkeit von den Betriebsparametem der Brennkraftmaschine die eingespritzte Kraftstoffmenge ermittelt wird, wobei zusätzlich ein fahrerspezifischer Parameter berücksichtigt wird, um das Verhalten der Brennkraftmaschine den speziellen Wünschen des Fahrers anzupassen. Ferner offenbart die US 4,508,078 ein Verfahren zum Steuern der Drosselklappe, bei dem bei einem schnellen Niedertreten des Gaspedals die Drosselklappe überproportional schnell bzw. weit geöffnet wird.Furthermore, DE 3 722 088 A1 describes a method for controlling a Internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle is known in which the throttle valve position in Dependence of the accelerator pedal and the determined slip of the motor vehicle is determined, to prevent the wheels from spinning. US 5,084821 discloses a method in which is injected depending on the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine Fuel quantity is determined, with a driver-specific parameter is taken into account the behavior of the internal combustion engine the special requests of the driver. Furthermore, US 4,508,078 discloses a method for controlling the Throttle valve, in which when the accelerator pedal is depressed quickly, the throttle valve is opened disproportionately quickly or wide.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Einstellen der Bewegung eines leistungsverändernden Regelorgans einer Brennkraftmaschine zu schaffen, bei dem die Einstellung definiert in Abhängigkeit unterschiedlichster Parameter vorgegeben werden kann, wobei das Regelorgan eine Drosselklappe im Saugrohr ist und die Größe der Verstellung des Regelorgans und damit der in den Brennraum einzuführende Luftmassenstrom über eine in Abhängigkeit der Stellung des Gaspedals gebildete Stellgröße erfolgt.The invention has for its object a method for adjusting the movement to create a performance-changing control element of an internal combustion engine, in which the setting is defined depending on a wide variety of parameters can, wherein the control element is a throttle valve in the intake manifold and the size of the Adjustment of the control element and thus the one to be introduced into the combustion chamber Air mass flow via a manipulated variable formed as a function of the position of the accelerator pedal he follows.

Die Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Verfahren durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. In Abhängigkeit von Betriebsgrößen der Brennkraftmaschine, Motorlast und Motordrehzahl, wird ein optimaler Wert für die Leistungsveränderung pro Arbeitstakt der Brennkraftmaschine vorausschauend ermittelt. Aus diesem optimalen Wert für die Leistungsveränderung und der in Abhängigkeit der Gaspedalstellung ermittelten Regelgröße wird jetzt eine Stellgröße für das leistungsverändernde Regelorgan für die folgenden Arbeitstakte ermittelt. The task is in a generic method by the characterizing features of claim 1 solved. Depending on company sizes the internal combustion engine, engine load and engine speed, is an optimal value for the Change in output per work cycle of the internal combustion engine is determined in advance. From this optimal value for the change in performance and depending on the Throttle pedal position determined control variable is now a manipulated variable for the performance-changing regulating body determined for the following work cycles.

Neben den Betriebsgrößen der Brennkraftmaschine können auch Größen des Fahrbahnzustandes in die Ermittlung der optimalen Werte für die Leistungsveränderung einfließen, um beispielsweise ein Durchdrehen der Räder zu verhindern. Außerdem ist denkbar, das Fahrverhalten einer das Kraftfahrzeug oft führenden Personen einfließen zu lassen. Dies geschieht beispielsweise über einen Lernvorgang, in dem festgehalten wird, ob die Person sportlich oder eher mit geringeren Leistungsveränderungen fährt. Es besteht jedoch auch die Möglichkeit, einen entsprechenden Wahlschalter vorzusehen.In addition to the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, parameters relating to the road condition can also be used flow into the determination of the optimal values for the change in performance, to prevent the wheels from spinning, for example. It is also conceivable that To incorporate driving behavior of a person who often leads the motor vehicle. This happens, for example, via a learning process in which it is recorded whether the person drives sporty or rather with less changes in performance. However, it also exists the possibility of providing a corresponding selector switch.

Ist das leistungsverändernde Regelorgan ein bei dem in einer Luftzufuhrstrecke einer Brennkraftmaschine angeordnetem Verstellelement, beispielsweise eine in einem Saugrohr angeordnete Drosselklappe, und wird in Abhängigkeit der Stellung des Gaspedals eine Regelgröße für den über das Verstellelement einzustellenden Luftmassenstrom ermittelt, so wird als optimaler Wert für die Leistungsveränderung eine optimale Luftmassenstromänderung vorausschauend ermittelt. Aus der optimalen Luftmassenstromveränderung und der Regelgröße für den Luftmassenstrom wird eine Stellgröße für das den Luftmassenstrom einstellenden Stellelement für die folgenden Arbeitstakte berechnet. Jede Luftzufuhrstrecke hat aufgrund seiner geometrischen Ausbildung und der Trägheit bestimmter beweglicher Teile ein Zeitverhalten, so daß es von Vorteil ist, das inverse Übertragungsverhalten der Luftzufuhrstrecke für den Luftmassenstrom in die Vorausberechnung der Stellgröße für das den Luftmassenstrom einstellende Stellelement, beispielsweise der Drosselklappe, zu berücksichtigen.Is the performance-changing control unit one in one in an air supply path Adjustment element arranged in the internal combustion engine, for example one in an intake manifold arranged throttle valve, and depending on the position of the accelerator pedal Control variable determined for the air mass flow to be set via the adjusting element, see above becomes an optimal value for the change in performance Air mass flow change determined proactively. From the optimal Air mass flow change and the controlled variable for the air mass flow becomes one Control variable for the control element that adjusts the air mass flow for the following Work cycles calculated. Each air supply route has due to its geometrical Training and the inertia of certain moving parts a time behavior, so that it from The advantage is the inverse transmission behavior of the air supply path for the Air mass flow in the pre-calculation of the manipulated variable for the air mass flow adjusting actuator, such as the throttle valve, to be considered.

Da für jeden folgenden Arbeitstakt der einzuführende Luftmassenstrom bekannt ist, kann jetzt auch zur Einhaltung eines stöchiometrischen Kraftstoff/Luftgemisches die erforderliche Kraftstoffmenge berechnet und definiert eingespritzt werden.Since the air mass flow to be introduced is known for each subsequent work cycle, now the necessary to maintain a stoichiometric fuel / air mixture Fuel quantity can be calculated and injected in a defined manner.

Mit Hilfe der Erfindung werden Lastwechselschläge durch ein zu schnelles Reagieren des leistungsveränderlichen Regelorgans verhindert. Bei Berücksichtigung von Parametern des Fahrbahnzustandes, beispielsweise über den Radschlupf, kann außerdem eine Antischlupfregelung auf einfache Weise realisiert werden. Außerdem ist es möglich, bei dynamischen Vorgängen, wie einer Beschleunigung, ohne Leistungsminderungen den Kraftstoffverbrauch als auch die Schadstoffemission zu senken.With the help of the invention, load changes are caused by a too rapid reaction of the performance-changing control body prevented. Taking into account parameters of the Road condition, for example via the wheel slip, can also an anti-slip control can be easily realized. It is also possible with dynamic Operations, such as acceleration, without degrading fuel consumption as well as lower pollutant emissions.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher beschrieben. Die zugehörigen Zeichnungen zeigen:

In Figur 1 ist ein Zylinder 1 einer Brennkraftmaschine mit einer Saugrohr-Kraftstoffeinspritzung über ein Einspritzventil 2 dargestellt. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist jedoch auch bei einer Brennkraftmaschine mit einer direkten Einspritzung anwendbar. Die Versorgung des Zylinders 1 zur Einstellung des Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnisses mit Frischluft erfolgt über das Saugrohr 3, in dem eine Drosselklappe 4 angeordnet ist, deren Öffnungswinkel über eine Stelleinrichtung 5, beispielsweise einen Schrittmotor, entsprechend unterschiedlicher Parameter zur Erzeugung eines definierten Luftmassenstroms m ˙l im Saugrohr 3 eingestellt wird. Die Zündeinrichtung 6 gibt in Abhängigkeit von der Regeleinrichtung 7 erhaltenen Steuersignalen Szünd ein Zündsignal an die Zündkerze 8 zur Zündauslösung, wenn ein entsprechendes ebenfalls von der Regeleinrichtung gesteuertes Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnis im Brennraum 11 des Zylinders 1 vorliegt. Weiterhin ist ein vom Fahrer des Kraftfahrzeuges betätigbares Gaspedal 9 vorgesehen, dessen Stellung von einem Aufnehmer 10 erfaßt und in ein elektrisches Signal Spedal umgewandelt wird. Als Aufnehmer 10 kann beispielsweise im Gaspedal ein Potentiometer integriert werden, das beim Betätigen des Gaspedals verdreht wird und somit in Abhängigkeit der Gaspedalstellung das elektrische Signal Spedal liefert. Entsprechend dem die Gaspedalstellung repräsentierenden Signal Spedal wird von der Regeleinrichtung 7 eine Regelgröße R für die Stelleinrichtung 5 der Drosselklappe 4 erzeugt, die nach herkömmlichen Verfahren direkt an die Stelleinrichtung 5 zur Einstellung des Drosselklappenwinkels proportional oder nach einer Dämpfungsfunktion weitergegeben wird. Dies kann jedoch bei bestimmten Betriebsparametern der Brennkraftmaschine dazu führen, daß es zu Leistungsschlägen kommt, die sich negativ auf den Fahrkomfort auswirken. Bei bestimmten Fahrbahnzuständen beispielsweise extremer Glätte, führt ein so erzeugtes zu großes Drehmoment zum Durchdrehen der Räder. Jedes Saugrohr 3 weist ein Zeitverhalten auf, so daß wegen der direkten Weitergabe der Gaspedalstellung an die Stelleinrichtung 5 der Drosselklappe 4 bei dynamischen Vorgängen (Beschleunigung) nur schwer ein stöchiometrisches Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnis im Brennraum 11 des Zylinders eingestellt werden kann. Es kommt zu einer Abmagerung oder Überfettung des Kraftstoff/Luftgemisches. Aus diesem Grund werden gemäß der Erfindung der Regeleinrichtung 7 verschiedene Betriebsparameter der Brennkraftmaschine, im Ausführungsbeispiel die Motordrehzahl n und die Motorlast Mmot , ein Parameter η des Fahrbahnzustandes sowie der eingelegte Getriebegang G zuge-führt. Es sind jedoch weitere Kenngrößen denkbar. Aus diesen Parametern bzw. Kenngrößen errechnet die Regeleinrichtung 7 vorausschauend für die folgenden Arbeitstakte der Brennkraftmaschine eine optimale Luftmassenstromänderung Δm ˙l pro Arbeitstakt. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die optimale Luftmassenstromänderung Δm ˙l in Abhängigkeit bestimmter Betriebszustände der Brennkraftmaschine in der Regeleinrichtung 7 als Speicherwerte zu hinterlegen. Aus der optimalen Luftmassenstromänderung wird in Verbindung mit der Regelgröße R für den Luftmassenstrom m ˙l , die sich aus der Veränderung der Stellung des Gaspedals 9 ergibt, eine Stellgröße Idrossel für die Stelleinrichtung 5 zur Einstellung der Drosselklappe 4 ermittelt. Um das Zeitverhalten des Saugrohrs 3 bei der Berechnung der Stellgröße Idrossel zu berücksichtigen, wird in die Berechnung die inverse Übertragungsfunktionen des Saugrohrs 3 einbezogen. Da sich während der Betriebszeit der Brennkraftmaschine die Übertragungsfunktion des Saugrohrs ändert, wird diese Änderung in Form einer Adaption berücksichtigt. Weiterhin sollte die Ladungswechseländerung über die Zeit, d. h. die Änderung der vom Motor angesaugten Luft/Kraftstoffmenge, in Form einer Adaption aufgrund von Toleranzen und Alterungsprozessen berücksichtigt werden. Damit ist vorausschauend für die folgenden Arbeitstakte der Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, welche Luftmenge jeweils dem Brennraum 11 tatsächlich zugeführt wird. Die für ein stöchiometrisches Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnis benötigte Kraftstoffmenge m ˙k kann nun von der Regeleinrichtung 7 ebenfalls definiert berechnet werden.FIG. 1 shows a cylinder 1 of an internal combustion engine with an intake manifold fuel injection via an injection valve 2. However, the method according to the invention can also be used in an internal combustion engine with direct injection. The supply of the cylinder 1 for setting the fuel / air ratio with fresh air takes place via the intake manifold 3, in which a throttle valve 4 is arranged, the opening angle of which via a control device 5, for example a stepping motor, corresponding to different parameters for generating a defined air mass flow m ˙ l im Intake pipe 3 is set. The ignition device 6 are a function of the controller 7 obtained control signals S ignition, an ignition signal to the spark plug 8 for ignition triggering, when a corresponding also controlled by the control device the air / fuel ratio in the combustion chamber 11 of the cylinder is present. 1 Furthermore, an accelerator pedal 9 which can be actuated by the driver of the motor vehicle is provided, the position of which is detected by a pickup 10 and converted into an electrical signal S pedal . A potentiometer can be integrated as a sensor 10 in the accelerator pedal, for example, which is rotated when the accelerator pedal is actuated and thus supplies the electrical signal S pedal as a function of the accelerator pedal position . Corresponding to the signal S pedal representing the accelerator pedal position , the control device 7 generates a controlled variable R for the actuating device 5 of the throttle valve 4, which is passed on to the actuating device 5 for adjusting the throttle valve angle proportionally or according to a damping function by conventional methods. However, with certain operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, this can lead to performance shocks which have a negative effect on driving comfort. In certain road conditions such as extreme slippery conditions, excessive torque generated in this way causes the wheels to spin. Each intake manifold 3 has a time behavior, so that a stoichiometric fuel / air ratio in the combustion chamber 11 of the cylinder can only be set with difficulty due to the direct transmission of the accelerator pedal position to the actuating device 5 of the throttle valve 4 in dynamic processes (acceleration). The fuel / air mixture becomes lean or over-greased. For this reason, according to the invention of the control device 7, various operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, in the exemplary embodiment the engine speed n and the engine load M mot , a parameter η of the road condition and the gear ratio G applied are supplied. However, further parameters are conceivable. From these parameters or parameters, the control device 7 calculates an optimal air mass flow change Δm Δ l per work cycle for the following work cycles of the internal combustion engine. Another possibility is to store the optimal air mass flow change Δm ˙ l as a function of certain operating states of the internal combustion engine in the control device 7 as stored values. A manipulated variable I throttle for the actuating device 5 for adjusting the throttle valve 4 is determined from the optimal air mass flow change in conjunction with the controlled variable R for the air mass flow m ˙ l , which results from the change in the position of the accelerator pedal 9. In order to take into account the time behavior of the intake manifold 3 when calculating the manipulated variable I throttle , the inverse transfer functions of the intake manifold 3 are included in the calculation. Since the transfer function of the intake manifold changes during the operating time of the internal combustion engine, this change is taken into account in the form of an adaptation. Furthermore, the change of charge over time, ie the change in the amount of air / fuel drawn in by the engine, should be taken into account in the form of an adaptation based on tolerances and aging processes. It is thus known in advance for the following work cycles of the internal combustion engine which amount of air is actually supplied to the combustion chamber 11. The fuel quantity m ˙ k required for a stoichiometric fuel / air ratio can now also be calculated in a defined manner by the control device 7.

In Figur 2 sind zur Verdeutlichung die Verläufe des nach dem Verfahren eingestellten Drosselklappenwinkels α, der entsprechend erzeugte Saugrohrdruck psaug und das Kraftstoff/Luftverhältnis λ, in Abhängigkeit des Signals Spedal aufgrund eines sprunghaft betätigten Gaspedals dargestellt. Der zu Beginn der Drosselklappenbetätigung auftretende große Öffnungswinkel α resultiert dabei aus der Berücksichtigung der inversen Übertragungsfunktion des Saugrohrs.For clarification, the curves of the throttle valve angle α set by the method, the correspondingly generated intake manifold pressure p suction and the fuel / air ratio λ, as a function of the signal S pedal , are shown in FIG. 2 due to a sudden accelerator pedal operation. The large opening angle α occurring at the start of the throttle valve actuation results from the consideration of the inverse transfer function of the intake manifold.
