Definitions

  • the invention relates to a starter for an internal combustion engine according to the Preamble of claim 1 and control electronics therefor.
  • Embodiment In another Embodiment is housed in the starter, a sensor that the speed of the Starter detected and when a certain predetermined high speed is reached Starting process stops.
  • the first embodiment has a relatively high rate of error detections or faults, especially at higher temperatures, since none or too many impulses can arise.
  • the second embodiment is by the Use of a sensor relatively expensive.
  • the object of the present invention is a starter for To provide internal combustion engines that have a starter recognition that manages with relatively simple means and is largely unaffected by faults.
  • the starter for an internal combustion engine has one Control electronics that evaluate the amount of starter current and when a Engine starts the internal combustion engine interrupts the starting process, even if the operator still maintains the starting process, for example by holding an ignition key in the start position or by pressing a start button.
  • the control electronics receives the level of the starter current by tapping a voltage drop on at least one component of the magnetic switch of the Starter occurs.
  • every shunt is in the starter circuit is suitable to determine the level of the starter current, the tap on one of however, the starter current through which the magnetic switch has a component Advantage that the tap on the one hand inexpensive on the magnetic switch and on the other hand with short cable routes can take place in the immediate vicinity of the starter motor, which ensures a high level of operational safety and low interference.
  • the voltage drop at the inlet and outlet of the starter current is preferably at Magnetic switch removed, this preferably on the screw connections of the Magnetic switch (terminals 30 and 45).
  • the control electronics as an autonomous unit to the already known Starter systems can be retrofitted attach to the housing of a starter, for example, the connections the control electronics to the terminals of the magnetic switch.
  • the starter wiring remains unchanged except that the switching current of the magnetic switch is not supplied directly to the control electronics, but to the control electronics. In this arrangement, the serves as a shunt for the measurement of the starter current Current bridge in the magnetic switch.
  • the starter advantageously has control electronics that have one Evaluates the starting process by detecting the starter current, which at the beginning of the Starting process is very high and with increasing rotation of the Internal combustion engine then decreases when the engine is turned up Internal combustion engine to drop to the idle current of the starter.
  • the Control electronics according to the invention makes itself a special feature of Rotational resistance of the internal combustion engine to use, namely the Fluctuations from compressing and decompressing the Coming from internal combustion engine.
  • the starter according to the invention is thus Particularly suitable for internal combustion engines that have a turning fluctuating torque curve (recorded torque). This is especially pronounced in reciprocating internal combustion engines. With the fluctuations of the Rotational resistance of the internal combustion engine, the starter must fluctuate Deliver torque.
  • the starter has a corresponding fluctuating Current consumption, which is somewhat higher when the internal combustion engine is compressed than when decompressing.
  • the control electronics now recognizes this lack of regular fluctuations in the starter current depending on the different rotational resistances of the internal combustion engine Position of the crankshaft originate, and aborts the starting process accordingly.
  • the Aborting the starting process can be a small security allowance include, for example, up to 0.3 sec. to ensure that the starting process is finished.
  • a decrease in the starting current and the The starting process can then be ended if, in addition to the absence of periodic Current fluctuations there is also a decrease in the starting current.
  • the value of the starting current can be detected and in addition to The periodic fluctuations in the starter current do not fall below a predetermined current value and / or reaching a lowest current value of the present starting process as a criterion for the end of the starting process be used.
  • the starter current is advantageously determined using a Filter that filters (smoothes) very short current fluctuations to ensure reliable detection of the torque-dependent current fluctuations or the current profile (the Power consumption).
  • the speed of the internal combustion engine can also be detected be, the switching off only takes place when the speed of the Internal combustion engine is above a predetermined value, which in particular between 200 and 800 rpm. is chosen. This value can also be used by others Variables may be dependent, for example on the temperature of the internal combustion engine.
  • the operator of the starting process remains master of the starting process itself, d. H. he can abort the starting process at any time, even during the periodic Fluctuations in the starter current.
  • the Control electronics during the starting process a time derivative of the starting current or record a decrease in the starting current and, if the derivative or decrease is below a predetermined value and also the starting current itself has fallen below the specified value, cancel the starting process.
  • the derivation or Decrease in the starting current is also advantageously determined via a filter, the Time constant is preferably so long that the current fluctuations due to the torque fluctuations. This allows the Current consumption when starting the engine safely from the short-term A distinction can be drawn between current draws during a decompression process.
  • a function lock is advantageously used in the control electronics, the one Repeat start only after a waiting time of approx. 0.5 to 4 seconds, especially approx. 2 sec. after an aborted start process or after switching off the Internal combustion engine enables.
  • a function lock of individual or all of the above described occasion-specific switching operations that overrides these functions, so that the start time either by the operator alone or only by some of the above mentioned functions is determined.
  • Such a repeat start is advantageous at least the function overridden, which at the previous start to Shutdown of the starting process has resulted.
  • the starter is preferably provided with a autonomous control electronics, in particular with control electronics, on or in the Starter is integrated, equipped. Since according to the invention the essential Monitoring parameters can be taken directly from the starter a particularly inexpensive construction possible.
  • the starter according to the invention is can be used for all gasoline and diesel engines.
  • the starter can also contain conventional additives, such as a controlled one Have tracks or a thermal overload protection. Because of the lesser Load on the starter according to the invention (starting processes are average several tenths of a second earlier than that controlled by an operator Starting processes canceled and the starter turns up less Idle speed)) the starter can more easily with regard to its strength rating (weaker) than usual starters, so that weight and Cost advantages arise.
  • control electronics for the starting process as an autonomous unit for example can be retrofitted and is downward compatible, designed, belongs to the Invention control electronics, as described above and below.
  • FIG. 3 shows the general characteristic curves of a starter motor 2 (an electric motor), the characteristic curves being recorded until the starter motor comes to a standstill under load.
  • the starter motor 2 (starter) is a 12 V, 1.8 kW version. In normal starter operation, the starter motor is only operated over approximately the left half of its characteristic range, ie up to approximately 500 to 700 A.
  • the usual working range 20 of the starter is between 300 and 500 A, the idling range 10 is around 100 A. In between (approx.
  • the decreasing voltage U or the output power P could also be used instead of the current, but the output power P can only be measured in a complex manner using measurement technology, and when using the voltage U it has been shown that the effects of other units cause voltage changes, in particular also occur as a function of temperature, which can prevent or pretend that the engine is starting to be recognized.
  • Such a starter motor 2 with associated monitoring electronics (control electronics) 3 and a magnetic switch 4 forms a starter 1 for an internal combustion engine (not shown), as is used, for example, in motor vehicles. Furthermore, typical elements are shown in FIG. 1, as are used in the operation of the starter 1 or the internal combustion engine. From a battery 5, a ground line 6 is connected to a generator 7, which serves for the usual power supply (including charging the battery 5) during operation of the internal combustion engine. The positive lead of the battery is connected to an ignition starter lock 8, of which a terminal 50 is live when the ignition starter lock 8 is actuated (+). The terminal 50 is connected to a terminal 50a of the monitoring electronics, the switching element 9 of which is switched from the terminal 50a to passage to a terminal 50b when the ignition starter lock 8 is closed.
  • Terminal 50b supplies magnetic switch 4 (a relay) with voltage so that it switches between its terminals 30 and 45 for continuity.
  • the switching takes place by means of a magnetic switch bridge 15, which connects the terminal 30 to the terminal 45.
  • the circuit is now closed via a line 11 to the starter motor 2, so that it is connected to the battery voltage via the mass of the starter motor (apart from voltage drops in the Cables or the magnetic switch bridge 15).
  • the starter motor 2 comes into engagement with the internal combustion engine and rotates together with it, as shown in FIG. 2, the current flowing through the starter motor 2 over time t decreases with increasing speed n M of the internal combustion engine.
  • the monitoring electronics 3 By measuring the voltage drop at the magnetic switch bridge 15 via the terminals 30 and 45, which are directly in series with the starter motor 2, the monitoring electronics 3 the current flow through the starter motor 2 is known.
  • the voltage drop at the magnetic switch bridge 15 can be removed very inexpensively, since there are screw connections at the terminals 30 and 45.
  • the lines of the monitoring electronics 3 for tapping the voltage drop can easily be screwed together with the positive line of the battery 5 to the terminal 30 or the line 11 to the terminal 45.
  • the monitoring electronics 3 can thus be connected without intervention in the starter 2 or the magnetic switch 4.
  • Such monitoring electronics 3 represent an autonomous unit that can be connected to or disconnected from an existing starting system, the function of the starting process always being retained.
  • the current flow through the starter motor 2 has fluctuations 12 which result from different rotational resistances (absorbed torque) of the internal combustion engine due to compression (high current, high torque) and subsequent decompression (low torque, low current).
  • fluctuations 13 in the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine which are phase-shifted by 180 °, since the latter revs up more easily at a lower rotational resistance (decompression) and requires less power (torque) from the starter motor 2.
  • the starter motor 2 disengages, so that it reaches its idling speed and idling current 10 in a short time.
