Abstract
The invention aims at providing a piezoelectric actuator for valve timing in internal combustion engines having a constant actuator function in different operating and service conditions. According to the invention, this is achieved in that the electrical regulating variable is the electrical charge quantity transferred to the piezoelectric stack that is generated by a charge generator (3) and controlled by a control unit (2) and in that operating and service conditions of the internal combustion engine influencing the piezoelectric actuator (1) are detected by sensors (4) and fed to the control unit (2) for parameterization of charge quantity control. The invention can be used for constant control of a piezoelectric actuator in fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines, the length of whose piezoelectric stack can be varied by means of an electrical regulating variable and wherein actuation of a fuel valve in the injection system is effected as a result of said variability in length.
Description
Vorrichtung zur Konstantsteuerung piezoelektrischer Aktuatoren für Kraftstofϊeinspritzsysteme.Constant control device for piezoelectric actuators for fuel injection systems.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Konstantsteuerung eines piezoelektrischen Aktuators für KraftstofFeinspritzsysterne gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for constant control of a piezoelectric actuator for fuel injection systems according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zur Steuerung von Kraftstoffeinspritzventilen für Brennkraftmaschinen ist die Verwendung von piezoelektrischen Aktuatoren bekannt, deren unter Einwirkung einer elektrischen Steuerspannung längenveränderlicher Piezo-Stack zur Betätigung des Ventilgliedes dient ( DE-Al-195 31 652). Bei piezoelektrischen Aktuatoren treten während eines Betriebszyklus bekannterweise deutliche Hystereseeffekte zwischen einer an den Piezo- -Stack zur Aufnahme von elektrischer Ladung angelegten elektrischen Spannung und der damit am Piezo-Stack erzeugten Dehnung auf. Durch diese dielektrische Hysterese sind mit piezoelektrischen Aktuatoren die hohen Anforderungen an die Präzision der Stellbewegung bei Kraftstoff- einspritzventilen nur unzureichend erfüllbar.To control fuel injection valves for internal combustion engines, the use of piezoelectric actuators is known, whose piezo stack, which is variable in length under the action of an electrical control voltage, is used to actuate the valve member (DE-Al-195 31 652). In piezoelectric actuators, as is known, significant hysteresis effects occur during an operating cycle between an electrical voltage applied to the piezo stack for receiving electrical charge and the elongation thus generated on the piezo stack. Due to this dielectric hysteresis, the high demands on the precision of the actuating movement in fuel injection valves can only be met inadequately with piezoelectric actuators.
Weiterhin ist eine Konstantsteuerung der Aktuatoren durch wechselnde Einsatz- und Betriebsbedingungen der Brennkraftmaschinen, wie z.B. Last und Temperatur und durch Alterungseffekte des Piezo-Stacks beeinträchtigt.Furthermore, constant control of the actuators by changing operating and operating conditions of the internal combustion engines, e.g. Load and temperature and are affected by the aging effects of the piezo stack.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemaß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelost Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteran- spruchen angegebenThis object is achieved according to the invention by the features of patent claim 1. Further developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims
Wird bei einer Piezo-Keramik die aufgenommene elektrische Ladungsmenge gegenüber der Dehnung aufgetragen, so ist zwischen der Ladungsmenge und der damit erzeugten Dehung keine dielektrische Hysterese feststellbar Die Hysterese tritt nur zwischen der aufgenommenen elektrische Ladung und einer die Ladungsaufnahme treibenden elektrischen Spannung aufIf the amount of electrical charge absorbed is plotted against the expansion in the case of a piezo ceramic, no dielectric hysteresis can be ascertained between the amount of charge and the expansion generated thereby
Der Dehnungsverlauf S(Q) - mit S für die relative Dehnung der Keramik und Q für die von der Keramik aufgenommenen elektrische Ladungsmenge kann bekannterweise durch eine mathematische Funktion wiedergegeben werden, die einem quadratischen Ansatz S = a ( Q-Q0)2 folgtThe expansion course S (Q) - with S for the relative expansion of the ceramic and Q for the amount of electrical charge absorbed by the ceramic can be known to be represented by a mathematical function that follows a quadratic approach S = a (QQ 0 ) 2
Auf diesen Sachverhalt aufbauend wird erfindungsgemaß ein Verfahren vorgeschlagen, das vorteilhaft die Hubfünktion eines piezoelektrischen Aktuators durch eine präzise Steuerung der elektrischen Ladungsaufnahme konstant halt Einfluße externer mechanischer und/oder thermischer Großen auf den Aktuator, wie z B der Treibstoffdruck und die Motortemperatur, werden erfindungsgemaß vorteilhaft dadurch eliminiert, daß diese über Sensoren erfaßt und als Parameter in die Aktuatorsteuerung Eingang finden Derartige Sensoren sind in modernen Motorsteuerung üblicherweise vorhanden Über eine sensorische Erfassung der Betriebsstundendauer sind Alterunsgeffekte des Piezo-Aktuators kompensierbarBased on this fact, a method is proposed according to the invention which advantageously keeps the stroke function of a piezoelectric actuator constant through precise control of the electrical charge absorption. Influences of external mechanical and / or thermal variables on the actuator, such as the fuel pressure and the engine temperature, are advantageous according to the invention Eliminated by the fact that these are detected by sensors and are used as parameters in the actuator control. Such sensors are usually present in modern engine control. A sensory detection of the operating hours can compensate for aging effects of the piezo actuator
