Definitions

  • The. invention is based on a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, in which fuel is conveyed from a high-pressure pump into an accumulator, in which the fuel is injected via an injection valve into a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, wherein the pressure in the pressure accumulator to a Target pressure plus an offset value is limited, and in which no fuel is injected via the injection valve in a pushing operation of the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the invention relates to an internal combustion engine and a control device for an internal combustion engine of the corresponding type.
  • the existing pressure in the accumulator pressure must be reduced via the pressure control valve and leaks. Due to the offset value, however, the pressure regulating valve opens only when the actual pressure in the pressure accumulator is greater by the offset value than the setpoint pressure. This has the consequence that the actual pressure at the transition to the shift operation is always substantially greater than the target pressure. This means at the same time that the time required for the pressure reduction is relatively large.
  • a system for high-pressure generation in particular for high-pressure fuel generation in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine is known.
  • This system has a high pressure pump and a pressure control valve on the delivery side of the high pressure pump.
  • the pressure regulating valve opens upon reaching a threshold pressure, so that the amount of fuel delivered by the high-pressure pump is discharged via a return line.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for operating an internal combustion engine, in particular a motor vehicle, in which the fastest possible pressure reduction is possible in the transition to the overrun mode.
  • This object is achieved in a method of the type mentioned in the present invention that is set in the shift operation of the offset value to a minimum value or even zero.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention.
  • the pressure regulating valve By reducing the offset value to the minimum value or even zero, it is achieved that the pressure regulating valve already opens after the detected shift operation when the actual pressure in the pressure accumulator is slightly greater than the setpoint pressure. Thus, the pressure reduction in the pressure accumulator can begin immediately after the transition to the shift operation. The time required for the pressure reduction in the pressure accumulator is thus very low.
  • the shift operation is detected by comparing the current volume flow through the high-pressure pump and the flow rate at zero promotion.
  • the computer program comprises program code which is suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention when it is executed on a computer.
  • the program code can be stored on a computer-readable data carrier, for example on a so-called flash memory.
  • the invention is realized by the computer program, so that this computer program in the same way represents the invention as the method to whose execution the computer program is suitable.
  • a fuel supply system 10 of an internal combustion engine is shown.
  • the Fuel supply system 10 is commonly referred to as a common rail system and is suitable for the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine under high pressure.
  • the fuel is sucked in from a fuel tank 11 via a first filter 12 from a prefeed pump 13.
  • the prefeed pump 13 may be, for example, an electric fuel pump.
  • the sucked by the feed pump 13 fuel is conveyed via a second filter 13- to a metering unit 15.
  • the metering unit 15 may, for example, be a solenoid-controlled proportional valve.
  • the metering unit 15 is followed by a high-pressure pump 16.
  • a high pressure pump 16 usually mechanical pumps are used, which are driven by the internal combustion engine.
  • the high pressure pump 16 is connected to a pressure accumulator 17, which is often referred to as a rail.
  • This accumulator 17 is connected via fuel lines with injectors 21 in contact. About the injectors 21, the fuel is injected into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine.
  • a pressure control valve 18 is connected, which is the output side coupled to the fuel tank 11.
  • the pressure regulating valve 18 may be, for example, an electrically controllable solenoid valve.
  • a pressure sensor 19 may be provided, which is coupled to the pressure accumulator 17.
  • a control device 20 is provided, which of a plurality is acted upon by input signals. These input signals may be the rotational speed N of the internal combustion engine or the engine temperature T of the internal combustion engine. It may also be the pressure within the fuel accumulator 17, which is measured by the pressure sensor 19.
  • the controller 20 In response to the input signals, the controller 20 generates a plurality of output signals. This may be, for example, a signal for controlling the prefeed pump 13 or a signal for controlling the metering unit 15 or a signal for controlling the pressure regulating valve 18.
  • the fuel supply system 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 operates as follows:
  • the fuel which is located in the fuel tank 11, is sucked by the prefeed pump 13 and conveyed to the metering unit 15.
  • the pressure in this region of the fuel supply system 10 is usually in a range of about 1 bar to about 3 bar. This area is therefore also referred to as low pressure area.
  • the aforementioned area can be monitored or controlled and / or regulated with the aid of a further valve (not shown in FIG. 1).
  • the amount of fuel supplied by the metering unit 15 of the high-pressure pump 16 is referred to as delivery rate.
  • the fuel to be injected is then conveyed into the fuel reservoir 17 in order to be injected from there via the injection valves 21 into the respective combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine.
  • the amount of fuel supplied to the combustion chambers by the injection valves 21 is referred to as an injection quantity.
  • the pressure regulating valve 18 is used to limit the pressure. This means that the pressure regulating valve 18 is actuated such that it opens at a predetermined pressure in the pressure accumulator 17. In this way, a pressure increase of the pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 is prevented above the predetermined value.
  • the metering of the fuel to be injected via the metering unit 15 is only possible to a limited extent. Instead, the metering unit 15 is actuated in such a way that a so-called full delivery takes place. This means that the high-pressure pump 16 conveys the respective maximum amount of fuel into the fuel accumulator 17.
  • the amount of fuel to be injected is influenced by the fact that the pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 is controlled and / or regulated.
  • the pressure regulating valve 18 and the pressure sensor 19 are used.
  • the pressure regulating valve 18 is also used for pressure limiting.
  • the pressure regulating valve 18 is activated in such a way that it only opens at a predetermined value of the pressure in the pressure accumulator 17. It is necessary that the pressure regulating valve 18 until reaching the intended Value at which the pressure control valve 18 is to open safely remains closed.
  • This predetermined value is therefore usually derived from the target pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 with the addition of an offset value. For example, if the setpoint pressure is 1600 bar, then the offset value to be additively added is about 250 bar.
  • the overrun operation-better: overrun operation-of the internal combustion engine is present. In this shift operation, no fuel is injected into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine. Instead, the internal combustion engine is pushed by the downhill rolling motor vehicle and thus kept in operation.
  • the delivery rate of the metering unit 15 is designated by the reference numeral 25, the injection quantity of the injection valves 21 by the reference numeral 26, the target pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 by the reference numeral 27, the offset value by the reference numeral 28, the actual pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 without the present Invention with the reference numeral 29 and the actual pressure in the pressure accumulator 17 with the present invention by the reference numeral 30th
  • the transition to the shift operation has an immediate transition of the flow rate 25 and the injection amount 26 to zero result.
  • a time range which is designated by the reference numeral 31, and in which the flow rate 25 and the injection amount 26 remain at zero.
  • Control unit 20 and the target pressure 27 for the accumulator 17 is reduced according to the figure 2. Since no injection of fuel takes place via the injection valves 21 in the pushing operation, the pressure reduction of the actual pressure 29 in the pressure reservoir 17 can only take place via the pressure regulating valve 18 and via leakages of components.
  • the pressure control valve 18 opens - without application of the invention - but only when the actual pressure 29 is greater by the offset value 28 than the target pressure 27. This means that - without application of the invention - the actual pressure 29 in the time range 31 is always much larger than the set pressure 27. This means at the same time that - without application of the invention - the time required for the pressure reduction period is relatively large.
  • the shift operation is recognized by the invention.
  • the offset value of the invention is set to a minimum value or even zero.
  • the pressure control valve 18 opens already when the actual pressure 30 in the accumulator 17 is slightly greater than the target pressure 27.
  • the pressure reduction in the pressure accumulator 17 immediately after the transition to the overrun mode kick off.
  • the actual pressure 30 in the pressure accumulator 17 thus deviates only slightly from the setpoint pressure 27 in the time range 31. The time required for the pressure reduction in the pressure accumulator 17 is thus very low.
  • FIG. 3 shows a method with which the above-described mode of operation of the internal combustion engine can be carried out. This Method is realized by the controller 20 by software.
  • the speed N of the internal combustion engine and the setpoint pressure 27 determined and predetermined by the control unit 20 in the pressure accumulator 17 are fed to a pilot control map 35 which generates a pilot control variable 36 as a function of these operating variables.
  • the set pressure 27 is also fed to an offset characteristic 37, which determines the offset value 28 in dependence thereon. Via a switch 38 and an addition 39, the offset value 28 is then added to the pilot control quantity 36. At the output of the addition 39, this results in a control variable 40 for the pressure control valve 18, to which the pressure regulating valve 18 is set, and determines the pressure at which the pressure regulating valve 18 opens.
  • a block 44 it is checked in FIG. 3 in a block 44 whether the pressure 45 in the pressure accumulator 17 exceeds a minimum value 46.
  • a minimum value 46 for example, the current pressure measured by the pressure sensor 19 is compared with the predetermined minimum value 46.
  • the minimum value 46 is also given by way of example in FIG.
  • the output signals of the blocks 41 and 44 are supplied to an AND link 47, which - if the current flow 42 through the high pressure pump 16 is less than or equal to the flow rate 43 at zero flow, and if the current pressure 45 in the accumulator 17 is greater than the minimum value 46 - the switch 38 switches. This has the consequence that no longer the offset value 28 is applied to the addition 39, but the already explained minimum value for the offset value. This minimum value may - as mentioned - possibly even be zero.
