Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for ignition detection according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Process for generating two ignition pulses within one work cycle for ignition or misfire detection are, for example in DE 42 18 803 A1, EP 0 546 827 A2 and US 53 88 560 described. While in DE 42 18 803 A1 the amplitude of the the second ignition spark voltage needle pulse is evaluated, a time analysis is carried out in US 53 88 560 the drop in the measured spark voltage after the second ignition. In EP 0 546 827 A2 a corresponding analysis of the Fall of the resulting ion current carried out.
- the angular velocity the crankshaft measured when combustion occurred is higher than if there was no combustion.
- additional mechanical sensors are required for this, which must be extremely sensitive in order to be proportionate to be able to detect small differences in speed.
- Such Sensors are also complex and expensive.
- an ignition detection is known, in which within one working cycle of the internal combustion engine two ignition sparks generated and the ignition voltage of the second spark is compared with a predetermined threshold. A ignition of the fuel mixture is detected, that the ignition voltage is below this threshold lies. However, if the ignition voltage is above this threshold, this is a criterion for non-ignition of the fuel mixture.
- the problem with this method is that only the ignition voltage of the second spark is measured. This makes no distinction be whether reducing the ignition voltage alone by the ionization of the first spark or really by one there was ignition within the combustion chamber. Moreover can not be determined with this procedure whether a Ignition did not occur because no suitable ignition spark was generated or because there is no fuel mixture for the ignition was available in the combustion chamber.
- the measured ignition voltage is also external Factors such as B. voltage drop at the distributor and Electrode erosion, depending. Such factors can change in the course of time slowly or z. B. when replacing the spark plugs suddenly change. If specified, these factors can only do one thing single threshold as a sure decision criterion whether the fuel mixture ignited, not taken into account become.
- the threshold voltage depends on these Varying factors would also be appropriate Computer control only possible with great effort.
- the present invention is based on the object Ignition detection method specifying the above Does not have disadvantages, the ignition detection in particular no mechanical Contains components, simply in existing systems can be integrated and works reliably.
- the invention is based on a first spark the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine to inflame and with at least a second Ignition spark that is ignited within the same work cycle, to prove the ignition of the fuel mixture.
- the invention sees the AC voltage to generate at least the second spark, but preferably also for generating the first spark, one or more periods of two different high half-waves, the first half-wave being a Has amplitude that between the maximum necessary voltage if there is ionization between the electrodes of a spark plug the ignition system and the minimum necessary voltage non-existing ionization lies and the second half-wave has an amplitude which is above the maximum necessary There is tension.
- a criterion for the ignition of the Air-fuel mixture is detected whether the second spark formed in the first half-wave of the AC voltage has or not.
- the voltage of the first half-wave of the AC voltage is preferably to generate the spark or spark between 2kV and 6kV.
- the voltage of the second half-wave is according to the invention greater than 30kV and is preferably about 32kV.
- the first ignition pulse is generated from one or more periods (ignition sub-pulses) of the AC voltage, the ignition spark being formed during the second half-wave.
- This first ignition pulse normally serves to ignite the fuel-air mixture.
- a second ignition pulse is generated, which can also consist of several ignition part pulses. Now that there are ions generated by the flame between the electrodes of the spark plug, the low voltage of the first half-wave of the second ignition pulse can generate the ignition spark.
- the time that elapses after the AC voltage is switched on until the spark is formed can be used, for example, by measuring the current through the spark plugs to determine a statement about the ignition of the air-fuel mixture. If the ignition spark generated by the first ignition pulse has ignited, the ignition spark of the second ignition pulse occurs during the first half-wave. If the ignition from the first ignition pulse has failed to occur, the ignition spark does not ignite until the second half-wave during the second ignition pulse, ie later than in the normal case. This is detected according to the invention.
- the ignition voltage of the two It is also possible to measure ignition pulses, not the high voltage itself, but to evaluate a value proportional to it.
- a value can be the primary voltage, for example be on an ignition transmitter of the ignition system.
- the primary charging current of an ignition coil of the ignition system evaluate as a proportional value for the ignition voltage.
- Another development of the invention provides within of a work cycle not only to generate two ignition pulses, but each of these firing pulses into at least two firing pulse to divide.
- Suitable ignition systems for this are e.g. B. high-frequency alternating current ignition systems, that are capable of multiple Sparks very quickly in a row within a single one Generate work cycle.
- the ignition part pulses of an ignition pulse are triggered so quickly that the Ionization, caused by the respective immediate previous ignition part pulse and the resultant Partial spark, only slightly reduced. This is due to of the first firing pulse triggered a spark and has the Gas discharge trained, so there is a big difference between determine the ignition voltages of these two ignition part sparks. There is no such difference if the did not develop the first partial spark.
- a third Case occur.
- This third case occurs when an im Combustion chamber fuel-air mixture due to the partial sparks of the first pulse was ignited. Now she cares Ignition in the combustion chamber for ionization of the discharge gap, which leads to the fact that the first spark of the second spark at a much lower ignition voltage than at the first partial spark of the first spark occurs.
- the ignition voltages or charging currents of the partial sparks of the first and second spark can thus be decided whether an unsuccessful ignition to a non-existent fuel-air mixture or lack of spark formation is.
- a corresponding Signal sent to a control unit as soon as no ignition of the air-fuel mixture has taken place. Furthermore the supply of the air-fuel mixture to the combustion chamber prevented to avoid destruction of the catalyst. Finally, the driver of the internal combustion engine becomes audible or optical signal that indicates the malfunction displays.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a circuit arrangement for an ignition stage according to the invention.
- the circuit arrangement has five terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

- the Terminal 2 is connected to terminal 4 via a further resistor 10 in connection. Between terminal 3 and terminal 5 for reference potential a further capacitor 11 is connected.
- the Terminal 3 is connected to the non-inverting input of a comparator 12 in connection, whose inverting input to the Connection point of the resistor 8 and the capacitor 9 switched is.
- the output of the comparator 12 is on the one hand the terminal 4 in connection and on the other hand with two basic connections of two complementary transistors 14, 15, which with their emitter connections are interconnected.
- the collector of the NPN transistor is at terminal 2 and the collector of the pnp transistor 15 connected to the terminal 5.
- the Connection point of the two emitter connections of these transistors 14, 15 is through a resistor 16 to the base terminal a power switching transistor 18 in connection.
- the collector connection this power transistor 18 is through the primary winding 19 an ignition coil 20 with the terminal 1 in connection.
- the emitter connection of the power transistor 18 is via a Resistor 11 connected to terminal 5 for reference potential. Parallel to the load path of the power transistor 18 and the Resistor 11 is connected to a capacitor 23, as is one Free-wheeling diode 24, with its cathode connection to the primary winding 19 of the ignition coil 20 is placed.
- connection point of the resistor 8 and the capacitor 9 is via a further resistor 13 to the connection point of the power transistor 18 and the resistor 11 placed. This the latter connection point is also over a Resistor 17 to the base or gate of the power transistor 18 switched.
- the ignition coil also has a secondary winding 21, the electrodes 25, 26 are connected at their two connections are.
- the circuit arrangement shown in FIG. 1 has this also a clock generator.
- This clock generator consists of essentially from a clock generator block 28, the plus input is connected to the Q output.
- the Q output stands moreover via a diode 29 with the connection point of the Resistor 8 and the capacitor 9 in contact. At this connection point the cathode of the diode 29 is placed.
- the minus entrance of the clock generator module 28 is connected to the terminal 4, during the clock input via a capacitor 30 the terminal 5 is connected for reference potential. Between the Clock input of the clock generator module 28 and the terminal 2 is another resistor 31 placed.
- A is the switch-on signal for switching on Ignition stage designated. This switch-on signal is sent to the Terminal 4 of the ignition output stage is applied and is a square wave signal a predetermined duration.
- D is the gate or base voltage of the power switching transistor 18. This signal is a square wave voltage whose lengths depend on the current through the Detach ignition coil.
- C is the collector current, which is a triangular ramp signal. The steepness of the The ramp in turn depends on the inductance of the ignition coil.
- D is the collector voltage across the capacitor 23 Ignition output stage of Figure 1 designated. The collector voltage is sinusoidal half-wave.
- the signal curve E denotes the by current flowing through this capacitor 23, F denotes the current by the freewheeling diode 24.
- H is the secondary voltage with capacitance. in the Difference to the signal curve G, this signal oscillates there, where the collector voltage shows a half wave.
- the signal curve I shows the typical secondary voltage at the secondary winding of the ignition coil of the connected spark plug.
- the AC voltage is used to generate at least one second spark, but preferably also selected the first spark so that the first half wave is a Has amplitude, which is between the maximum necessary Voltage if there is ionization between the electrodes a spark plug of the ignition system and the minimum necessary voltage if there is no ionization.
- the first half wave between U1 and U3 and must therefore be in the area not hatched.
- the second Half wave is chosen so large that it is certainly above the maximum necessary voltage is that with existing ionization occurs between the electrodes of a spark plug of the ignition system. In the present case, the second half-wave must therefore be larger than U4.
- the second half-wave is preferably so size chosen as U5.
- first and the second ignition pulse in the same way and generated with the same AC voltage can be based on the second ignition pulse can be determined whether the first ignition pulse caused a fire or not. If there is a fire can already be the first half-wave of the second Ignition pulse generate an ignition spark. Has no inflammation by the first ignition pulse, however, leads first the second half-wave of the second ignition pulse for ignition. This, of course, only if there is an air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is available.
- the critical field strength required to form a gas discharge is necessary from the ions and in the combustion chamber depending on the existing foreign ionization.
- constant geometric Dimensions and constant external influences is the to form a gas discharge or a spark between two electrodes, e.g. B. the electrodes of a spark plug, necessary Voltage also constant.
- external ionization e.g. B. thermal ionization, as is the case with ignition of the fuel mixture occurs in the combustion chamber, ions If it is brought into the area of the electrodes, it drops for generation a spark necessary ignition voltage.
- the first.Ignition pulse ideally generates a spark, serves to ignite the air-fuel mixture.
- the second ignition pulse there is also a spark generated.
- the second ignition pulse it is detected when exactly the spark is formed, i.e. during the first half wave or the second half-wave.
- a decision whether this ionization by the first Ignition pulse triggered first sparks or by the ignition of the fuel mixture is not easy possible. There is one way to safely decide this in it, the amount of time between the two firing pulses large to choose that the ionization generated by the first spark is safely dismantled.
- the second voltage value is clear less than the first one, this certainly indicates an ignition of the fuel mixture. Because the duration of this ionization of the high voltage applied and the swirl conditions in the combustion chamber can be a relatively long one Time period may be necessary until the ionization is degraded. This can cause time problems, especially at high speeds lead if the period is longer than a work cycle period because then the second impulse is no longer during this one Work cycle can be ignited.
- the duration of the two Pulse chosen so short that it is safe within one Work cycle can be constant or variable, e.g. B. depending on the speed.
- the inventive method can be advantageously also with ignition systems, e.g. B.
- High frequency AC ignition systems apply in which several ignition pulses very quickly in succession can be generated within one work cycle. With these systems, as shown below, there is an additional one It is possible to differentiate whether the fuel mixture ignites not done because no spark was generated, or because there is no fuel mixture in the combustion chamber.
- the two ignition pulses mentioned above are used for this purpose generated as at least two ignition pulses each.
- Ignition sparks consist of only two partial sparks.
- the time interval these two partial sparks is so low according to the invention choose the ionization in the combustion chamber caused by the Partial spark was caused, only slightly reduced and the at least two partial sparks appear as a single spark.
- a third case can occur here.
- This third case arises when there is one in the combustion chamber Air / fuel mixture due to the first partial spark was ignited by an impulse. Now it takes care of the combustion chamber flame present for ionization of the discharge gap, which leads to the first spark of the second Spark at a much lower ignition voltage than the first Partial spark of the first spark occurs.
- By evaluation the current increases of the partial sparks of the first and the second spark or the associated currents through the primary winding thus it can be decided whether a non-ignition occurs non-existent fuel-air mixture or a lack of training of a spark within the combustion chamber is.
- pulses I1, I2 are shown that within a Work cycle AT of the internal combustion engine for the generation of Ignition pulses are used.
- each of these pulses I1, I2 from a single pulse I1A, I2A exists.
- the rising edge of the first pulse I1A appears at time t1 and the rising edge of the second Pulse I2A at time t2.
- the two times t1, t2 lie within the work cycle AT.
- the distance between the Time t1, t2 is chosen so that at time t2 one is due sparking generated by the first pulse I1A setting ionization safely decayed within the combustion chamber is.
- the 5b are those belonging to the mentioned ignition pulses I1A, I2A Ignition voltages U1A, U2A shown when inside the combustion chamber has no ignition.
- the Amplitudes of the two ignition voltages U1A and U2A are the same or approximately the same size, because at the time of the occurrence of the second ignition pulse I2A no ionization within the Combustion chamber is more available.
- the non-ignition can either be due to the fact that no fuel-air mixture within of the combustion chamber is present or in that the first Pulse I1A did not lead to a spark.
- Fig. 5c the ignition voltage ratios are shown when ignition occurs within the combustion chamber. It is clearly that compared to the ignition voltage U1A of the first Pulse I1A lower ignition voltage U2A of the second ignition pulse I2A recognizable.
- each of the already mentioned pulses I1A, I2A immediately to follow another pulse I1B or I2B.
- This further pulses I1B and I2B are shown in broken lines in FIG. 5a. These two pulses follow the pulses I1A and I2A temporally so close to each other that they are like a single ignition pulse appear.
- 5d, 5e and 5f are the associated ones Ignition voltages under different operating conditions shown.
- FIG. 5d shows the ignition voltages which are established if there is a spark due to the first firing pulse I1A has formed within the combustion chamber and one Gas discharge sets, but no fuel-air mixture inside of the combustion chamber is available. Inflammation can do not adjust.
- This non-ignition will be similar as in Fig. 5b, detected by the ignition voltage U2A is approximately the same size as the ignition voltage U1A. That one Spark has formed due to the first ignition pulse I1A based on the significantly lower ignition voltages U1B and U2B in Comparable to the ignition voltages U1A and U2A.
- This lower ignition voltage U1B or U2B stems from that by by sparking the first firing pulse I1A or I2A conditional ionization within the combustion chamber.
- the Ignition part pulses I1B and I2B immediately after the first ignition part pulses I1A and I2A can follow this ionization based on the lower ignition voltage U1B or U2B can be detected.
- the lower ignition voltage is due to a steeper course of the Collector current can be detected on the primary side of the ignition system.
- Fig. 5e the relationships are shown when due to the first ignition part pulse I1A no spark and therefore no gas discharge and therefore no ignition within the combustion chamber trains.
- the ignition voltages are U1A, U1B and U2A and U2B about the same size.
- 5f shows the conditions when the ignition has taken place.
- the ignition voltages U1B, U2A and U2B are significantly lower than the ignition voltage U1A.
Description
Der erste Zündimpuls wird aus einer oder mehreren Perioden (Zündteilimpulse) der Wechselspannung bestehend erzeugt, wobei die Ausbildung des Zündfunkens während der zweiten Halbwelle erfolgt. Dieser erste Zündimpuls dient normalerweise zur Entzündung des Kraftstoff-Luft-Gemisches. Nach einer bestimmten Zeit, wie bereits erwähnt, innerhalb des gleichen Arbeitstaktes, wird ein zweiter Zündimpuls erzeugt, der ebenfalls aus mehreren Zündteilimpulsen bestehen kann. Da sich jetzt durch die Flamme erzeugte Ionen zwischen den Elektroden der Zündkerze befinden, kann die niedrige Spannung der ersten Halbwelle des zweiten Zündimpulses den Zündfunken erzeugen. Die Zeit, die nach dem Einschalten der Wechselspannung bis zur Ausbildung des Funkens vergeht, kann zum Beispiel durch Messung des Stromes durch die Zündkerzen zur Ermittlung einer Aussage über die Entflammung des Luft-Kraftstoff-Gemisches dienen. Ist eine Entflammung durch den durch den ersten Zündimpuls erzeugten Zündfunken erfolgt, tritt der Zündfunke des zweiten Zündimpulses während der ersten Halbwelle auf. Ist die Entflammung durch den ersten Zündimpuls ausgeblieben, zündet der Zündfunken während des zweiten Zündimpulses erst mit der zweiten Halbwelle, also später als im Normalfall. Dies wird erfindungsgemäß detektiert.
