Exceeds that Power loss the maximum power consumption of the transistor, a transistor with a higher maximum power loss is usually used and / or the power loss is divided over several transistors.

Beschreibung des AusfuhrungsbeispielsFigure 1 shows schematically the most important elements of the device according to the invention. Figure 2 shows various signals occurring in the device. Description of the exemplary embodiment
Bei dem Ausfuhrungsbeispiel handelt es sich bei dem Verbraucher um die Spule eines Magnetventils, das die Kraftstoffzumessung in eine Brennkraftmaschine beeinflußt. Durch Ansteuerung dieses Magnetventils kann der Einspritzbeginn, das Einspritzende und damit auch die eingespritzte Kraftstoffmenge gesteuert werden. Hierzu ist es erforderlich, daß das Magnetventil zu einem definierten Zeitpunkt öffnet und/oder schließt. Desweiteren ist erforderlich, daß das Magnetventil nach Ausgabe des Ansteuersignals möglichst schnell seine neue Endlage erreicht.In the exemplary embodiment, the consumer is the coil of a solenoid valve, which influences the fuel metering in an internal combustion engine. By triggering this solenoid valve, the start of injection, the end of injection and thus the amount of fuel injected can be controlled. For this it is necessary that the solenoid valve opens and / or closes at a defined point in time. Furthermore, it is necessary that the solenoid valve reaches its new end position as quickly as possible after the control signal is output.
In Figur 1 sind die wesentlichsten Elemente der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung schematisch dargestellt. Mit 100 ist der elektromagnetische Verbraucher bezeichnet. Dieser ist mit seinem einen Anschluß mit Batteriespannung verbunden. Mit seinen anderen Anschluß steht er mit einem Steuermittel 110 in Verbindung.The most important elements of the device according to the invention are shown schematically in FIG. The electromagnetic consumer is designated with 100. This is connected to its one terminal with battery voltage. With its other connection it is connected to a control means 110.
Bei dem Steuermittel 110 handelt es sich vorzugsweise um einen Transistor, insbesondere um einen Feldeffekttransistor. In diesem Fall steht der zweite Anschluß des Verbrauchers mit dem Drain-Anschluß des Feldeffekttransistors 110 in Verbindung. Der Source-Anschluß des Transistors 110 steht mit einem Strommeßmittel 120 zur Erfassung des durch den Verbraucher fließenden Stroms in Verbindung. Der zweite Anschluß des Strommeßmittels 120 steht mit Masse in Verbindung.The control means 110 is preferably a transistor, in particular a field effect transistor. In this case, the second connection of the consumer is connected to the drain connection of the field effect transistor 110. The source connection of the transistor 110 is connected to a current measuring means 120 for detecting the current flowing through the consumer. The second terminal of the current measuring means 120 is connected to ground.
Die Anordnung dieser drei Elemente ist nur beispielhaft dargestellt. So können diese Elemente auch in anderer Reihenfolge angeordnet sein. So können beispielsweise Masse und Batterieanschlüsse vertauscht sein.
Der Verbindungspunkt zwischen dem zweiten Anschluß des Verbrauchers 100 und dem Steuermittel 110 steht mit dem ersten Anschluß eines Widerstands 150 in Verbindung. Der zweite Anschluß des Widerstands 150 ist mit einem Schaltmittel 140 verbunden. Als Schaltmittel 140 wird vorzugsweise ein Transistor, insbesondere ein Feldeffekttransistor eingesetzt. In diesem Fall steht der zweite Anschluß des Widerstands 150 mit dem Drain-Anschluß des Transistors 150 in Verbindung. Der Source-Anschluß des Transistors 140 steht in Kontakt mit dem Verbindungspunkt zwischen dem Steuermittel 110 und dem Strommeßmittel 120.The arrangement of these three elements is only shown as an example. So these elements can also be arranged in a different order. For example, ground and battery connections can be interchanged. The connection point between the second connection of the consumer 100 and the control means 110 is connected to the first connection of a resistor 150. The second connection of the resistor 150 is connected to a switching means 140. A transistor, in particular a field effect transistor, is preferably used as switching means 140. In this case, the second terminal of resistor 150 is connected to the drain terminal of transistor 150. The source of transistor 140 is in contact with the connection point between control means 110 and current measuring means 120.
Der Gate-Anschluß des Transistors 140 und der Gate-Anschluß des Transistors 110 werden von einer Steuereinheit 130 mit Ar-Steuersignalen beaufschlagt.The gate connection of transistor 140 and the gate connection of transistor 110 are acted upon by a control unit 130 with Ar control signals.
Das Strommeßmittel 120 ist vorzugsweise als Widerstand realisiert. Die beiden Anschlüsse des Widerstands 120 werden von der Steuereinheit 130 abgetastet. Die beiden Spannungswerte werden einer Stromerfassung 132 zugeführt, die ausgehend von dem Spannungsabfall am Widerstand 120 einen Stromistwert I s bereitstellen. Dieser Istwert Iist wird einem Regler 133 als Istwert zugeführt. Der zweite Anschluß des Reglers 133 steht mit einer Sollwertvorgabe 131 in Verbindung, die den zweiten Eingang mit einem Sollwert Ison beaufschlagt. Der Ausgang des Reglers 133 beaufschlagt das Gate des Transistors 110 mit einem entsprechenden Signal.The current measuring means 120 is preferably implemented as a resistor. The two connections of the resistor 120 are scanned by the control unit 130. The two voltage values are fed to a current detector 132, which provide an actual current value I s based on the voltage drop across resistor 120. This actual value Ii s t 133 is supplied to a controller as an actual value. The second connection of the controller 133 is connected to a setpoint input 131, which applies a setpoint I so n to the second input. The output of the controller 133 applies a corresponding signal to the gate of the transistor 110.
Zur Bildung der Ansteuersignale wertet die Steuereinrichtung 130 verschiedene AusgangsSignale von Sensoren 135 aus.
Die Funktionsweise dieser Einrichtung wird im folgenden anhand der Figur 2 beschrieben. In der ersten Zeile der Figur ist das Ansteuersignal für das Steuermittel 110, in der zweiten Zeile das Ansteuersignal für das Schaltmittel 140 und in der dritten Zeile der Strom durch das Schaltmittel 140 als gestrichelte Linie und der Gesamtstrom, der durch das Magnetventil 100 fließt, als durchgezogene Linie aufgetragen.To form the control signals, the control device 130 evaluates various output signals from sensors 135. The mode of operation of this device is described below with reference to FIG. 2. In the first line of the figure the control signal for the control means 110, in the second line the control signal for the switching means 140 and in the third line the current through the switching means 140 as a broken line and the total current flowing through the solenoid valve 100 as solid line.
Bei Ansteuerbeginn zum Zeitpunkt Tl, wird der Schaltmittel 140 und das Steuermittel 110 voll durchgeschaltet. Der Strom, der durch das Magnetventil fließt, steigt bis zu dem Sollwert für den Anzugstrom Isollι an- Zum Zeitpunkt T2 wird der Anzugstrom erreicht. Solange das Steuermittel 110 zwischen den Zeitpunkten Tl und T2 voll durchgeschaltet ist, ist der Widerstand des Steuermittels 110 gleich oder kleiner als der Widerstand des Schaltmittels 140 und des Widerstands 150. In dieser Phase fließt der größte Teil des Stroms durch das Steuermittel 110 und nur ein geringer Teil durch das Schaltmittel 140.When control begins at time T1, switching means 140 and control means 110 are fully switched through. The current flowing through the solenoid valve, increases to the desired value for the attracting current I so llι to - the time T2 of the pull-in current is achieved. As long as the control means 110 is fully switched between the times T1 and T2, the resistance of the control means 110 is equal to or less than the resistance of the switching means 140 and the resistor 150. In this phase, most of the current flows through the control means 110 and only flows in small part by the switching means 140.
Ab dem Zeitpunkt T2 wird die Ansteuerung des Steuermittels 110 zurückgenommen. Dies bedeutet der Widerstand des Steuermittels 110 vergrößert sich. Hieraus resultiert, daß der Strom, der durch das Schaltmittel 140 fließt, ansteigt.The activation of the control means 110 is withdrawn from the time T2. This means that the resistance of the control means 110 increases. As a result, the current flowing through the switching means 140 increases.
Zum Zeitpunkt T3 wird der Sollwert für den Strom auf sein Haltestromniveau Isoll2 abgesenkt. Dies bedeutet, die Ansteuerung für das Steuermittel 110 wird weiter reduziert. Der Widerstand des Steuermittels 110 und damit der Strom durch das Schaltmittel 140 steigen dadurch an.At time T3, the setpoint for the current is lowered to its holding current level I so ll 2 . This means that the control for the control means 110 is further reduced. The resistance of the control means 110 and thus the current through the switching means 140 thereby increase.
Zum Zeitpunkt T4 endet die Ansteuerung des Magnetventils. Dies bedeutet zum Beispiel, das Schaltmittel 140 wird geöffnet und
das Steuermittel 110 wird so angesteuert, daß der durch das Schaltmittel 110 fließende Strom langsam auf Null zurück geht. Der Strom durch das Steuermittel 140 fällt sofort ab.The activation of the solenoid valve ends at time T4. This means, for example, the switching means 140 is opened and the control means 110 is controlled so that the current flowing through the switching means 110 slowly returns to zero. The current through the control means 140 drops immediately.
Der Widerstand 150 ist so dimensioniert, daß ab dem Zeitpunkt T3 der größte Stromanteil durch das Schaltmittel 140 und den Widerstand 150 fließt. Lediglich ein kleiner Stromanteil fließt über das Steuermittel 110. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß im Zeitraum zwischen T3 und T4 der Zweig bestehend aus dem Widerstandsmittel 150 und dem Schaltmittel 140 einen kleineren Widerstand aufweist als das Steuermittel 110.The resistor 150 is dimensioned such that the largest current component flows through the switching means 140 and the resistor 150 from the time T3. Only a small amount of current flows through the control means 110. This is achieved in that the branch consisting of the resistance means 150 and the switching means 140 has a smaller resistance than the control means 110 in the period between T3 and T4.
Dies bedeutet, daß der Zweig bestehend aus dem Widerstandsmittel 150 und dem Schaltmittel 140 auch den größten Teil der Verlustleistung aufnimmt. Nach Erreichen des Sollwerts für den Anzugsstrom wird das Steuermittel soweit zurückgeregelt, daß der Strom, der durch das Steuermittel 110 fließt, nunmehr dem Differenzbetrag zwischen dem Sollwert Isoll u111^ dem durch das Schaltmittel 140 fließenden Strom entspricht.This means that the branch consisting of the resistance means 150 and the switching means 140 also absorbs most of the power loss. After reaching the setpoint for the starting current, the control means is regulated back so far that the current flowing through the control means 110 now corresponds to the difference between the setpoint I so ll u 111 ^ the current flowing through the switching means 140.
Das Schaltmittel 140 wird jeweils voll durchgeschaltet und arbeitet als Schalter. Durch das Schaltmittel 140 fließt der größte Teil des Stroms. Der Zweig bestehend aus Widerstand 150 und Schaltmittel 140 nimmt auch den größten Teil der Verlustleistung auf. Das Steuermittel 110 arbeitet als Analogstromregler. Das Steuermittel 110 nimmt den Differenzstrom zwischen dem Sollwert und dem Strom, der durch das Schaltmittel 140 fließt, auf.The switching means 140 is fully switched through and operates as a switch. Most of the current flows through the switching means 140. The branch consisting of resistor 150 and switching means 140 also absorbs most of the power loss. The control means 110 works as an analog current regulator. The control means 110 receives the differential current between the setpoint and the current flowing through the switching means 140.
Der wesentliche Teil der Verlustenergie wird im Widerstand 150 umgesetzt und nicht in einem Transistor. Widerstände können im Vergleich zu Transistoren bei gleichen Kosten für wesentlich
höhere Temperaturen ausgelegt werden. Mit geringem Aufwand kann eine gute Wärmeanbindung zur Umgebung, bzw. zu Kühlkörpern erzielt werden. Die Ansteuerung der Endstufen ist einfach im Vergleich zu dem erforderlichen Schaltungsaufwand bei der Aufteilung der Verlustleistung auf mehrere Leistungstransistoren.The major part of the energy loss is implemented in resistor 150 and not in a transistor. Resistors can be essential compared to transistors at the same cost higher temperatures can be designed. A good heat connection to the environment or to heat sinks can be achieved with little effort. The control of the output stages is simple in comparison to the circuitry required for the distribution of the power loss over several power transistors.
Der Leistungswiderstand 150 braucht keine enge Toleranz aufweisen, da das Steuermittel 110 eine Stromregelung durchführt. Desweiteren kann der Widerstand 150 extern vom Steuergerät, beispielsweise in der Nähe des Verbrauchers 100 angebracht werden.
The power resistor 150 need not have a narrow tolerance, since the control means 110 carries out a current regulation. Furthermore, the resistor 150 can be attached externally by the control device, for example in the vicinity of the consumer 100.
