Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for recognizing or locating of the cylinder phase of a multi-cylinder internal combustion cycle engine four-stroke, of the type fitted with an ignition and / or injection system individually controlled fuel for each cylinder, and having a sensor, often called the engine angular position sensor, which is fixed by report to the engine and detects the passage opposite at least one position fixed on a rotary target, linked in rotation to the engine crankshaft, to provide a signal for the passage of the piston of an engine reference cylinder in a determined position, for example at about 100 ° angle before neutral top (P.M.H.) of this piston.
  • a sensor often called the engine angular position sensor
  • phase of engine cylinders must be identified or recognized, that is, each time instant during an engine cycle, we must know the position of each different engine pistons as well as the phase or time of the engine cycle each of the different cylinders of the latter, and in particular the passage of pistons at P.M.H. at the start of the admission phase, in order to define precisely the moment of fuel injection, and their passage to the position of P.M.H. at the start of the combustion-expansion phase, in order to precisely define ignition (instant and ignition energy), in case the combustion engine internal is a spark ignition engine.
  • sequential injection consists in actuating the different injectors successively and in a given order, in order to inject the metered amounts of fuel to the cylinders under the most severe conditions favorable compared to the corresponding admission phases.
  • a sequential ignition system allows to control successively and in an order given the ignition in the various cylinders, in the best conditions with respect to the corresponding combustion-expansion phases, that is to say, in practice, with a suitable ignition advance, relative to the P.M.H. at the start of the corresponding combustion-expansion phase, depending engine operating conditions without triggering simultaneously unnecessary and sometimes disturbing spark in another cylinder which is in an engine time unsuitable for receiving ignition.
  • Ignition and / or fuel injection systems of the type sequential for internal combustion engine generally include a engine control computer, which manages in particular the ignition and injection of fuel, and which must, for this purpose, permanently know the phase of the cylinders in order to precisely follow the progress of the engine cycle in each them, so that the engine control computer can calculate and control the quantity of fuel delivered by each injector, i.e. in fact the duration on the one hand, and so that the engine control can calculate the instant of ignition and trigger it by the control of a corresponding ignition coil, on the other hand.
  • a engine control computer which manages in particular the ignition and injection of fuel, and which must, for this purpose, permanently know the phase of the cylinders in order to precisely follow the progress of the engine cycle in each them, so that the engine control computer can calculate and control the quantity of fuel delivered by each injector, i.e. in fact the duration on the one hand, and so that the engine control can calculate the instant of ignition and trigger it by the control of a corresponding ignition coil, on the other hand.
  • a rotary target integral in rotation with the crankshaft or flywheel of inertia of the engine, and generally constituted by a ring gear, of which the teeth, distributed over the periphery of the crown, constitute landmarks measurement of engine speed and crankshaft position
  • a sensor for example with variable reluctance
  • the position mark In scrolling past the fixed sensor, the position mark generates a distinctive signal to each passage of the engine pistons in a known fixed position, which allows the engine control computer to calculate, among other things, the instants of passage to the top dead centers of the various pistons.
  • one engine cycle corresponds to two turns of the crankshaft, from so that the piston of the reference cylinder passes, during each cycle engine, twice by the P.M.H., but during two different phases of the engine cycle.
  • the order The ignition of the cylinders is generally given by the sequence 1, 3, 4, 2 and the pistons of cylinders 1 and 4 move simultaneously to top dead center, and alternately one at the start of an admission phase and the other at the start of a phase combustion-expansion, while the pistons of cylinders 2 and 3 also pass simultaneously with the P.M.H., with an offset of half a motor turn by compared to cylinders 1 and 4, and as the latter alternately at the start an intake phase and at the start of a combustion-expansion phase.
  • a second sensor possibly of the same type as the first, for example at variable reluctance, and sensitive to scrolling against markers, such as teeth, carried by a second rotating target, such as a ring gear, rotated at a speed which is half that of the crankshaft, so that this second target performs one complete rotation per engine cycle.
  • a second rotating target such as a ring gear
  • the second target integral in rotation with the shaft of the ignition distributor or, more frequently, the camshaft or its pulley drive.
  • the second rotary target, driven with the camshaft carries a single position mark, which cooperates with the second sensor to deliver a signal at two logic levels.
  • the cooperation of the first sensor with the first rotary target provides information on the angular position of the piston of a reference cylinder, while the cooperation of the second sensor and the second target provides the phase information of this reference cylinder, reason why the whole of the second sensor and the second rotating target is generally called the motor phase sensor.
  • FR-A-2 692 623 proposes a cylinder identification process which saves the phase sensor engine and replaces it with an engine torque analysis, to detect misfires of combustion following a command to stop fuel injection in a reference cylinder, when the piston passes from the latter to the P.M.H.
  • this method has the disadvantage that its implementation supposes the presence not only of an angular position sensor of the engine, to locate the passage to the P.M.H. the piston of a reference cylinder, but also a misfire detection system, capable of provide a signal to identify misfires occurring in the different cylinders.
  • Another disadvantage of this process is that it cannot be implemented. works only on an engine fitted with a fuel injection system at individually controlled by cylinder, so it cannot be used on a engine equipped for example with a fuel injection system of the type single point and a sequential ignition system.
  • the disturbance consists of a complete stop of the injection or ignition control for the reference cylinder, and the detection of any resulting variation in engine operation consists in detecting a possible misfire and the instant of the occurrence of this misfire.
  • EP-A-0 640 762 teaches observe the variations in engine speed that result from the disturbance, and to detect the passages of the acceleration of the cylinder piston of reference under an acceleration threshold.
  • the disadvantages of this method are require the presence of a misfire detection circuit, such as FR-A-2 692 623, and to allow the identification of the cylinders only after the passage the engine in steady state, not when the engine is started.
  • the disturbance consists in a modification of the instant of ignition in relation to normal operation, for the cylinder reference, i.e. an increase or decrease in the advance or ignition delay, when the engine is idling, and detection of any resulting variation in engine operation is to detect possible irregularities in engine rotation and variations in engine speed, or variations in the intake air flow to the engine at idle, in a quasi-stabilized regime.
  • the disadvantages of this method are that it cannot be applied to diesel engine, and to be effective only after switching the engine to quasi-stabilized speed.
  • the problem underlying the invention is to remedy the drawbacks of the processes known from EP-A-0 640 762 and FR-A-2 692 623, and to propose another method of recognizing the phase of the cylinders than that known from DE-A-42 42 419 and which can be implemented on an engine equipped with an angular position sensor, without phase sensor or system detection of misfire, the engine may have an installation individually controlled fuel injection and / or ignition system individually controlled by cylinder.
  • the recognition process phase of the cylinders according to the invention can be implemented that the ignition either sequential and any injection, for example single-point, multi-point, "full-group" (i.e.
  • injection is multipoint sequential and arbitrary ignition, for example static or twin-static (i.e. by producing sparks in two cylinders simultaneously with each engine turn).
  • the method of the invention is characterized in that the control of said disturbance consists in ordering a modification injection time compared to normal operation, other complete shutdown of the ignition control and the injection control, and in that the detection of any variation in engine operation in resulting consists in detecting a possible variation of the engine torque and the instant of the occurrence of said variation in engine torque.
  • cylinders of the same P.M.H. are controlled simultaneously from the moment of starting the engine or from the detection of an event likely to cause loss of knowledge of the cylinder phase and until recognition of the cylinder phase.
  • the method of the invention consists in observe the engine torque and detect its variations by observing and detection of variations in a signal representative of the gas torque value generated by each combustion in each of the engine cylinders.
  • the method is implemented on a motor on which the rotary target is a ring gear, integral with the flywheel or the engine crankshaft, and the teeth distributed around its periphery constitute measurement marks, for which said position mark, forming a singularity on the crown, constitutes a benchmark indexing reference measurement by turning the flywheel or crankshaft, the sensor fixed relative to the motor being a marker scroll sensor and mounted in the vicinity of the crown, so that it is advantageously possible, as known by FR-A-2 681 425, to deliver a signal representative of the gas torque from the durations, speeds and variations of the speed of movement of the marks in front of the sensor, thanks to the software torque sensor described in the aforementioned patent.
  • the advantageously consists in bringing the given instant closer to the order of disturbance of the detected instant of the occurrence of the torque variation engine or the absence of engine torque variation by calculating the number of passages by the P.M.H. of the piston of the reference cylinder between said two instants or from said given instant, and comparing it to at least a number predetermined, corresponding to a determined phase of the reference cylinder in the engine cycle, when the corresponding piston passes into said position determined.
  • the method of the invention can consist in performing at least one cycle said stages of phase recognition from the start of the motor, after at least the first passage of the piston of the reference cylinder in said determined position or, on the contrary, not to carry out at least one cycle of said phase recognition steps only after a predetermined whole number of engine cycles counted from the first passage of the cylinder piston reference in said determined position, the method being able moreover to consist of to relaunch substantially periodically at least one cycle of said stages of phase recognition to confirm or correct the recognition of the cylinder phase.
  • a four-stroke spark ignition engine and four cylinders in line is schematically represented in M.
  • the ignition in the cylinders of the engine M is provided via four coils ignition 1, 2, 3 and 4, each corresponding to the cylinder (not shown) of same order of engine M.
  • Ignition coils 1, 2, 3 and 4 are sequentially supplied with electric current, to ensure ignition, by a unit engine control electronics 6 which in particular also controls injection of fuel to the cylinders of the engine M.
  • this unit of engine control 6 fulfills in particular the functions of a computer and includes one or more read-only memories, one or more read-only memories as well as minus one processing unit in the form of a microprocessor or microcontroller.
  • the engine control unit 6 also has different input and output interfaces for receiving signals, respectively input, from different operating parameter sensors of the motor, in order to carry out operations, and deliver output signals to intended in particular for fuel injectors (not shown) and ignition coils 1, 2, 3 and 4.
  • a cylinder ignition sequence is carried out in the following order: 1, 3, 4, 2.
  • the input signals from the engine control unit 6 include the pulses delivered by a variable reluctance sensor 7, fixed on the block of the motor M and mounted opposite and close to a toothed ring 8 integral with flywheel rotation.
  • the crown 8 has teeth evenly distributed 9, forming measurement marks, as well as a singularity 10, which constitutes an indexing mark of the teeth 9 and an angular position mark of the motor which, when it passes next to the sensor 7, causes the latter to deliver to unit 6 a signal indicating the passage of the pistons of cylinders 1 and 4 simultaneously with P.M.H.
  • the sensor 7 is also sensitive to the movement of teeth 9 and 10 to deliver pulses proportional to the frequency of passage of the teeth, so that unit 6 can develop an engine speed signal.
  • unit 6 can also generate a signal representative of the gas torque generated, by each combustion in each of the cylinders of the engine M, at from the pulses received from the sensor 7.
  • the observation of the engine torque and the detection of its variation resulting from the ignition disturbance control on cylinder 1, chosen as the reference cylinder, and the detection of the instant of the occurrence of this variation in engine torque can be ensured by observation and detection of variations in a gas torque signal represented by information of a different nature than that mentioned above, for example from pressure signals in the combustion chambers.
  • This reconciliation between the instants of the command of the ignition disturbance and the detection of its consequence on the torque motor can be ensured by comparison of the number of P.M.H. between these two instants with a predetermined threshold number, for example 2 P.M.H., so that if the signal 13 for variation of the engine torque is detected less than two P.M.H. after that of the ignition disturbance control 12, as is the case in FIG. 3c, it can be deduced that the cylinder 1 was in the combustion-expansion phase, while if the number of P.M.H. consecutive to that of the order 12 is greater than 2 before detecting a torque variation engine, as shown in figure 3d, we deduce that cylinder 1 was in admission phase.
  • a predetermined threshold number for example 2 P.M.H.
  • the disturbance is controlled on the cylinder coil reference during a complete engine cycle.
  • One or more consecutive cycles of the recognition stages of phase described above can or can be carried out from the start of the engine, for example after the first or the first few passages of the piston of cylinder 1 at P.M.H.
  • the cycle of phase recognition steps can be carried out after the engine launch phase, i.e. after a predetermined whole number of engine cycles, this number being counted from, for example, from the first passage of the piston of cylinder 1 to the P.M.H.

  • engine control unit 26 develops also a motor speed signal, a signal for the passage of pistons of cylinders 1 and 4 at P.M.H., as well as a signal representative of the torque gas from the pulses it receives from the sensor 7, fixed, as in the previous example, on the motor M and sensitive to the movement of the teeth 9 and the singularity 10 of the ring gear 8 rotating with the crankshaft, in the same conditions as explained above.
  • the engine control unit 26 comprises therefore also the device for measuring the torque of an internal combustion engine internal combustion which is the subject of French patent FR 2 681 425 and implements the process described in this patent.
