Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung einer Brennkraftmaschine gemäß den Oberbegriffen der unabhängigen Ansprüche.The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling an internal combustion engine according to the generic terms of independent claims.

Ein solches Verfahren und eine solche Vorrichtung zur Steuerung einer Brennkraftmaschine sind bekannt. Üblicherweise ist ein Sicherheitsabschaltventil vorgesehen, daß im Fehlerfall eine Sicherheitsabschaltung gewährleistet. Ein solches Sicherheitsabschaltventil wird bei Dieselbrennkraftmaschinen als ELAB bezeichnet.Such a method and such a device for control an internal combustion engine are known. Usually a safety shut-off valve is provided that in the event of a fault a safety shutdown is guaranteed. Such one Safety shutoff valve is used in diesel internal combustion engines referred to as ELAB.

Bei bestimmten Einspritzsystemen, insbesondere bei sogenannten Common-Rail-Systemen ist die Verwendung eines solchen Sicherheitsabschaltventils problematisch, da ein großes Volumen an Kraftstoff, das sich unter hohem Druck befindet, zwischen dem Sicherheitsventil und den Einspritzdüsen vorhanden ist. Nach der Betätigung des Abschaltventils läuft daher der Motor noch für eine gewisse Zeit weiter, bzw. bei einem Leck tritt eine erhebliche Menge an Kraftstoff unter hohem Druck aus. With certain injection systems, especially with so-called Common rail systems is the use of one Safety shut-off valve problematic because of a large one Volume of fuel that is under high pressure between the safety valve and the injectors is. After actuation of the shut-off valve runs therefore the engine continues for a certain time, or at a significant amount of fuel is leaked high pressure.

Aus der DE 43 44 190 A1 ist eine Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung mit Hochdruckspeicher bekannt. Das Speichereinspritzsystem ist mit einer Hochdruckkraftstoffpumpe zur kontinuierlichen Befüllung eines Hochdruckkraftstoffspeichers ausgerüstet. Stromabwärts des Kraftstoffspeichers werden über Leitungen Einspritzventile an der Brennkraftmaschine mit Kraftstoff versorgt. Zur Begrenzung der maximalen Durchflussmenge zu den Zylindern der Brennkraftmaschinen sind den Einspritzventilen differenzdruck- und/oder durchflussmengengesteuerte Sperrventile vorgeschaltet. Die Sperrventile stellen eine Sperrung der Kraftstoffzuführung bei Versagen eines Einspritzventils sicher. DE 43 44 190 A1 is a Fuel injector with high pressure accumulator known. The memory injection system is with a High pressure fuel pump for continuous filling a high-pressure fuel accumulator. downstream of the fuel storage are via lines Injectors on the internal combustion engine with fuel provided. To limit the maximum flow rate too the cylinders of the internal combustion engines are the Injectors differential pressure and / or flow-controlled check valves upstream. The Check valves block the fuel supply safe if an injector fails.

The The usual shut-off valve and its control can be omitted, which means a considerable saving in costs. On Test of the facility is not necessary as this is through normal operation is ensured.

Zeichnungdrawing

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsformen erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 ein erfindungsgemäßes Einspritzsystem und Figur 2 verschiedene über der Zeit aufgetragene Einspritzimpulse. The invention is described below with reference to the drawing illustrated embodiments explained. 1 shows an injection system according to the invention and Figure 2 different Injection pulses plotted over time.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Im folgenden wird die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung am Beispiel einer selbstzündenden Brennkraftmaschine dargestellt, bei der die Kraftstoffzumessung mittels eines Magnetventils gesteuert wird. Die in Figur 1 dargestellte Ausführungsform betrifft ein sogenanntes Common-Rail-System. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorgehensweise ist aber nicht auf diese Systeme beschränkt.In the following, the device according to the invention is based on the example a self-igniting internal combustion engine, where the fuel metering by means of a solenoid valve is controlled. The embodiment shown in Figure 1 relates to a so-called common rail system. The invention Approach is not on these systems limited.

Mit 100 ist eine Brennkraftmaschine bezeichnet, die über einen Ansaugleitung 105 Frischluft zugeführt bekommt und über eine Abgasleitung 110 Abgase abgibt.With 100 an internal combustion engine is referred to a suction line 105 receives fresh air and emits 110 exhaust gases via an exhaust line.

Bei der dargestellten Brennkraftmaschine handelt es sich um eine Vierzylinderbrennkraftmaschine. Jedem Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine ist ein Injektor 120, 121, 122 und 123 zugeordnet. Den Injektoren wird über Magnetventile 130, 131, 132 und 133 Kraftstoff zugemessen. Der Kraftstoff gelangt von einem sogenannten Rail 135 über die Injektoren 120, 121, 122 und 123 in die Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine 100.The internal combustion engine shown is a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. Every cylinder the Internal combustion engine is an injector 120, 121, 122 and 123 assigned. The injectors are connected via solenoid valves 130, 131, 132 and 133 fuel metered. The fuel arrives from a so-called rail 135 via the injectors 120, 121, 122 and 123 into the cylinders of internal combustion engine 100.

Der Kraftstoff in dem Rail 135 wird von einer Hochdruckpumpe 145 auf einen einstellbaren Druck gebracht. Die Hochdruckpumpe 145 ist über ein Magnetventil 150 mit einer Kraftstofförderpumpe 155 verbunden. Die Kraftstofförderpumpe 155 steht mit einem Kraftstoffvorratsbehälter 160 in Verbindung.The fuel in the rail 135 is from a high pressure pump 145 brought to an adjustable pressure. The high pressure pump 145 is via a solenoid valve 150 with a fuel delivery pump 155 connected. The fuel delivery pump 155 communicates with a fuel tank 160.

Das Ventil 150 umfaßt eine Spule 152. Die Magnetventile 130, 131, 132 und 133 enthalten Spulen 140, 141, 142 und 143, die mittels einer Endstufe 175 mit Strom beaufschlagt werden können. Die Endstufe 175 ist vorzugsweise in einem Steuergerät 170 angeordnet, das entsprechend die Spule 152 ansteuert. The valve 150 comprises a coil 152. The solenoid valves 130, 131, 132 and 133 include coils 140, 141, 142 and 143 that be supplied with current by means of an output stage 175 can. The output stage 175 is preferably in a control unit 170 arranged, which corresponds to the coil 152 controls.

Desweiteren ist ein Sensor 177 vorgesehen, der den Druck im Rail 135 erfaßt und ein entsprechendes Signal an das Steuergerät 170 leitet.Furthermore, a sensor 177 is provided, which the pressure in Rail 135 detects and a corresponding signal to the control unit 170 directs.

Eine Fehlererkennung 176 wertet verschiedene Signale aus und beaufschlagt im Fehlerfall die Endstufe 175 sowie das Ventil 152 mit einem entsprechenden Signal.An error detection 176 evaluates various signals and in the event of a fault, the power amplifier 175 and the valve 152 with a corresponding signal.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist zwischen dem Rail 135 und den Injektoren 120 bis 123 jeweils ein Durchflußbegrenzer 180, 181, 182 und 183 angeordnet. Vorzugsweise bilden der Injektor und der Durchflußbegrenzer eine bauliche Einheit. Der Durchflußbegrenzer kann aber auch jeweils zwischen dem Magnetventil und dem Rail oder zwischen dem Magnetventil und dem jeweiligen Injektor angeordnet sein. Die Durchflußbegrenzer sind derart ausgestaltet, daß sie die Verbindung zwischen dem Rail 135 und dem Injektoren unterbrechen, wenn durch diese Leitung mehr als eine vorgegebene Kraftstoffmenge fließt. Je nach Ausgestaltung schließt der Durchflußbegrenzer, wenn eine bestimmte Kraftstoffmenge zugemessen würde. Diese Menge ist so gewählt, daß sie größer ist als die größte beim fehlerfreien Betrieb auftretende Menge. Sie ist daher größer als die Vollastmenge bzw. die Startmenge. Die Menge ist ferner so gewählt, daß sie kleiner ist, als die Menge, bei der die Brennkraftmaschine beschädigt wird.In a preferred embodiment, there is between the rail 135 and the injectors 120 to 123 each Flow restrictors 180, 181, 182 and 183 arranged. Preferably form the injector and the flow restrictor a structural unit. The flow limiter can also between the solenoid valve and the rail or between the solenoid valve and the respective injector his. The flow restrictors are designed such that the connection between the Rail 135 and the injectors interrupt if more than one through this line predetermined amount of fuel flows. Depending on the design the flow restrictor closes when a particular one Amount of fuel would be metered. That amount is like that chosen that it is larger than the largest in the error-free Operation occurring quantity. It is therefore larger than that Full load quantity or the start quantity. The crowd is also like this chosen to be less than the amount at which the Internal combustion engine is damaged.

Diese Einrichtung arbeitet nun wie folgt. Die Kraftstofförderpumpe 155 fördert den Kraftstoff aus dem Vorratsbehälter über das Ventil 150 zur Hochdruckpumpe 145. Die Hochdruckpumpe 145 baut in dem Rail 135 einen vorgebbaren Druck auf. Üblicherweise werden im Rail 135 bei Systemen für fremdgezündete Brennkraftmaschinen Druckwerte von etwa 30 bis 100 bar und bei selbstzündenden Brennkraftmaschinen Druckwerte von etwa 1000 bis 2000 bar erzielt. This facility now works as follows. The fuel delivery pump 155 delivers the fuel from the reservoir via valve 150 to high pressure pump 145. The high pressure pump 145 builds a predefinable pressure in the rail 135 on. Usually in Rail 135 for systems for spark ignition internal combustion engines pressure values of about 30 up to 100 bar and with self-igniting internal combustion engines Pressure values of about 1000 to 2000 bar achieved.

Durch Bestromen der Spulen 140 bis 143 werden die entsprechenden Magnetventile 130 bis 133 angesteuert. Die Ansteuersignale für die Spulen legen dabei den Einspritzbeginn und das Einspritzende des Kraftstoffs durch die Injektoren 120 bis 123 fest.By energizing the coils 140 to 143, the corresponding Solenoid valves 130 to 133 controlled. The control signals for the coils, the start of injection starts and the injection end of the fuel through the injectors 120 to 123 fixed.

Tritt bei einem solchen System ein Fehler auf, hierbei kann es sich beispielsweise um einen Defekt im Bereich der Steuereinheit 170, des Hochdruckteils und/oder der Einspritzventile handeln, so muß gewährleistet werden, daß die Brennkraftmaschine sicher zum Stehen kommt.If an error occurs with such a system, this can it is, for example, a defect in the area of Control unit 170, the high pressure part and / or the injection valves act, it must be ensured that the Internal combustion engine comes to a safe stop.

Insbesondere bei Systemen, bei denen die Hochdruckpumpe 145 unmittelbar von der Brennkraftmaschine angetrieben wird, und damit die Hochdruckpumpe 145 bei laufender Brennkraftmaschine ständig weiterfördert, ist eine Abschaltung der Hochdruckpumpe 145 nicht möglich. Daher muß durch andere Maßnahmen gewährleistet werden, daß der Druck im Hochdruckteil schnell abgebaut und die Kraftstoffzufuhr unterbunden wird.In particular in systems in which the high pressure pump 145 is driven directly by the internal combustion engine, and thus the high-pressure pump 145 when the internal combustion engine is running funding is a shutdown of the High pressure pump 145 not possible. Therefore, by others Measures are taken to ensure that the pressure in the high pressure part quickly dismantled and the fuel supply cut off becomes.

Insbesondere ist dies erforderlich, wenn im Hochdruckteil ein Leck auftritt und der Kraftstoff mit hohem Druck in den Motorraum austritt bzw. wenn Kraftstoff durch einen defekten Injektor mit hohem Druck permanent in einen Zylinder gelangt. In diesen Fällen muß der Druck im Hochdruckteil rasch abgebaut werden.This is especially necessary if in the high pressure part a leak occurs and the fuel is under high pressure in the Engine compartment leaks or if fuel is caused by a defective one High pressure injector permanently in a cylinder arrives. In these cases, the pressure in the high pressure part be dismantled quickly.

Erfindungsgemäß wird nun wie folgt vorgegangen. Erkennt die Fehlerüberwachung 175 einen Fehler, so schaltet die Fehlerüberwachung 175 auf ein Notfahrprogramm um. Dies bedeutet, daß das Ventil 150 in seinen geschlossenen Zustand gebracht wird. Damit wird gewährleistet, daß kein weiterer Kraftstoff von der Kraftstoffpumpe 155 bereitgestellt wird. Als weitere Maßnahme werden die Magnetventile 140, 141, 142 und 143 derart angesteuert, daß sie die Kraftstoffzumessung in einer Winkelstellung der Kurbelwelle freigeben, in der die Einspritzung keinen Beitrag zum Drehmoment der Brennkraftmaschine liefert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Kraftstoffzumessung im Bereich des unteren Totpunktes freigegeben wird. Dies bedeutet die Kraftstoffzumessung erfolgt unmittelbar vor dem Öffnen der Auslaßventile der Brennkraftmaschine.The procedure according to the invention is now as follows. Recognize that Error monitoring 175 an error, the error monitoring switches 175 to an emergency driving program. This means, that the valve 150 is brought into its closed state becomes. This ensures that no more fuel is provided by the fuel pump 155. As another Measure will be the solenoid valves 140, 141, 142 and 143 controlled so that they the fuel metering release in an angular position of the crankshaft, in the the injection makes no contribution to the torque of the internal combustion engine supplies. It is particularly advantageous if the fuel metering in the area of bottom dead center is released. This means the fuel metering takes place immediately before opening the exhaust valves Internal combustion engine.

Bei einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß lediglich die zweite Maßnahme durchgeführt wird. Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann das Ventil eingespart werden.In one embodiment of the invention it is provided that only the second measure is carried out. At this Embodiment, the valve can be saved.

Die Kraftstoffzumessung erfolgt in einem möglichst großen Winkelbereich, damit die eingespritzte Menge einen größeren Wert annimmt als die Menge, die die Hochdruckpumpe 145 fördert. Durch diese Maßnahme wird zum einen der Druck im Hochdruckteil, insbesondere im Rail 135 rasch abgebaut und gleichzeitig kommt die Brennkraftmaschine zum stehen.The fuel metering is carried out as large as possible Angular range, so that the injected amount a larger Assumes value as the amount that high pressure pump 145 delivers. Through this measure, on the one hand, the pressure in the high pressure part, quickly dismantled and in particular in Rail 135 the internal combustion engine comes to a standstill at the same time.

In Figur 2a sind die Winkelbereiche, bei denen die Kraftstoffzumessung üblicherweise erfolgt, über Grad Kurbelwelle aufgetragen. Üblicherweise erfolgt die Kraftstoffzumessung im Bereich des oberen Totpunktes OT des jeweiligen Zylinders. Die Dauer der Zumessung beträgt dabei zwischen 0° und 40° Kurbelwelle.In Figure 2a are the angular ranges at which the fuel metering usually done by crankshaft degrees applied. The fuel is usually metered in the area of the top dead center OT of the respective cylinder. The duration of the metering is between 0 ° and 40 ° crankshaft.

In Figur 2b sind die Verhältnisse im Fehlerfall aufgetragen. Die Einspritzung erfolgt nun im Bereich des unteren Totpunktes UT, wobei die Dauer der Einspritzung wesentlich länger ist als im Normalbetrieb.The situation in the event of a fault is plotted in FIG. 2b. The injection now takes place in the area of bottom dead center UT, the duration of the injection being essential is longer than in normal operation.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn im Fehlerfall die Dauer der Einspritzung so gewählt wird, daß die durch den Injektor strömende Kraftstoffmenge einen solchen Wert annimmt, daß die Durchflußbegrenzer ansprechen und dadurch die weitere Kraftstoffzufuhr zu den Zylindern unterbinden. Dabei ist die Menge, bei der die Durchflußbegrenzer ansprechen so zu wählen, daß bei dieser Menge keine Beschädigung der Brennkraftmaschine auftritt.It is particularly advantageous if the duration in the event of an error the injection is chosen so that by the injector flowing fuel takes such a value that address the flow restrictor and thereby the other Cut off the fuel supply to the cylinders. Here is the Amount at which the flow limiters respond so too choose that this quantity does not damage the Internal combustion engine occurs.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, daß wenn lediglich ein Injektor als defekt erkannt wurde, nur dieser Injektor derart angesteuert wird, das der diesem Injektor zugeordnete Durchflußbegrenzer den Kraftstofffluß unterbindet.It is particularly advantageous that if only one Only the injector was recognized as defective is controlled in such a way that that assigned to this injector Flow limiter prevents fuel flow.

Die Einspritzung zur Notabschaltung erfolgt vorzugsweise außerhalb des Verdichtungstaktes, das heißt, zwischen 0 Grad Kurbelwelle und 270 Grad Kurbelwelle. Als besonders günstig wurde der Winkelbereich von ca. 100° bis 200° Kurbelwelle nach dem oberen Totpunkt erkannt.The injection for emergency shutdown is preferably carried out outside the compression stroke, that is, between 0 degrees Crankshaft and 270 degree crankshaft. As particularly cheap was the angular range from approx. 100 ° to 200 ° crankshaft recognized after top dead center.
