Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for forming the
- Fuel is stored in an activated carbon filter and fed to the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine and thus the combustion during operation of the motor vehicle via an electromagnetic tank ventilation valve which can be controlled in a timed manner.
- Tank ventilation valves are generally executed as clocked solenoid valves and between the
- Activated carbon filter and the intake manifold.
- AMF Activated carbon filter
- the magnetization of a core takes place, which leads to the valve armature being attracted to the core against a spring force and the valve opening. This is done when closing inverse process.
- the actual open time of the valve is reduced by this delay time. This reduces the amount of gas flowing through the tank ventilation valve, which has a particularly strong effect on short activation times.
- the amount of gas flowing through the tank ventilation valve may be varied in a controlled or regulated manner within wide limits depending on its fuel concentration and also on the current load speed operating point of the engine. Even with a comparatively small total air flow drawn in by the internal combustion engine, for example when idling, sufficient accuracy of the meterability of the gas flow flowing through the tank ventilation valve must be ensured. In any case, this requires consideration of the delay time.
- the object of the invention is to calculate the delay time, which is the actual delay time in the operation of the
- Tank vent valve comes even closer and corresponds as closely as possible. This object is achieved with the combination of features of the independent claim.
- One embodiment of the invention is characterized in that, in the case of tank ventilation valves, the real delay time of which increases with a higher intake manifold vacuum, L5 the calculated delay time is also increased.
- a further embodiment provides that in the case of tank ventilation valves, the real delay time of which decreases with a higher intake manifold vacuum, the arithmetically formed delay time is also reduced.
- the influence of the intake manifold pressure is taken into account by means of a! 5 characteristic curve to be modeled separately, by means of a multi-dimensional characteristic map or on the basis of a computational modeling.
- Another embodiment is characterized in that SO - the values of the intake manifold pressure and the ambient pressure or the values of the intake manifold pressure and the pressure on the side of the tank ventilation valve facing away from the intake manifold - or the values of the 15 pressure difference to be determined therefrom - or the values of the
- Pressure ratio serve as the input variable of the characteristic curve, the map or the mathematical modeling.
- the invention also relates to an electronic control device for performing at least one of the above-mentioned methods and embodiments.
- Essential to the invention is the consideration of the dependency of the delay time of the tank ventilation valve on the intake manifold pressure when calculating the delay time.
- the invention is therefore based on the knowledge that a
- Figure 1 shows an internal combustion engine with a tank ventilation system.
- L0 Figure 2 shows the time course of the control signal to clarify the technical background of the inventive method.
- Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the inventive method.
- FIG. 1 shows an internal combustion engine 1 with an intake manifold 2, an exhaust tract 3, a tank ventilation system 4, a tank 5, a control unit 6, an exhaust gas sensor system 7, a sensor system 8, which is representative of a large number of when the internal combustion engine is operating
- -0 sensors used for operating parameters such as speed n, intake air quantity L, temperature T, intake air temperature, throttle valve opening angle, intake manifold pressure, ambient pressure, etc., and a fuel metering device 9, for example as an arrangement of one or more
- the control signals ti for the injection valves are generated by a combination of a pilot control and a control intervention.
- the precontrol essentially comprises the formation of a basic value for the control signal as a function of speed n and load L der
- This base value is then multiplicatively corrected in a closed control loop as a function of the exhaust gas composition, which is detected by the exhaust gas sensor system 7. Further corrections
- the tank ventilation system 4 consists of a 5 activated carbon filter 10, which communicates with the tank, the ambient air and the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine via corresponding lines or connections, a tank ventilation valve 11 being arranged in the line to the intake manifold.
- the activated carbon filter 10 stores in the tank 5
- L5 designated fuel-air mixture influences the composition of the mixture supplied to the internal combustion engine as a whole, which is also determined by a metering of fuel adjusted to the intake air quantity via the fuel metering device 9.
- the fuel drawn in via the tank ventilation system can correspond to a share of approx. One third to half of the total fuel quantity.
- the following calculation example illustrates the influence of tank ventilation on the mixture formation based on typical values that occur in the area of tank ventilation in motor vehicles.
- the engine's idle air requirement is approximately 10 cubic meters per hour.
- the tank ventilation valve is not permanently open, but is controlled, for example, with a duty cycle of 1.67%. In other words: the ratio of the times when it's opening
- Tank vent valve flowing regeneration gas consists of 100% fuel vapor. This burns in a 5: 1 ratio by volume stoichiometric with air. The amount of air required to burn the fuel vapor that flows through the tank ventilation valve at these values is calculated at 30 * 1.67: 100 * 4 cubic meters per hour at 2 cubic meters
- This mixture correction is made up of the exhaust gas probe 7 (control sensor), control unit 6 (controller) and injection valve 9 in the mixture control loop
- 10 pull-in delay is 3 milliseconds.
- the delay is to be compensated by including an assumed delay time of 4 milliseconds.
- the duty cycle of 1.67% specified above was used as a basis.
- the actual open time is the difference of 5.67 milliseconds and 3 milliseconds to 2.67 milliseconds. In 5 the calculation of the mixture correction goes however
- the dependence on the intake manifold pressure is taken into account when driving the TEV.
- the intake manifold and ambient pressure are supplied by the SO sensor system 8, for example. However, as is known, they can also be calculated from other operating parameters of the engine, such as intake air quantity and intake air temperature.
- the differential pressure relates, for example, to the! 5 difference between ambient pressure and intake manifold pressure.
- Analogous the pressure ratio refers to the ratio of the ambient pressure to the intake manifold pressure. If a pressure sensor is used in the tank ventilation system, for example for diagnosis, this can replace the ambient pressure.
- the pressure difference (or the pressure ratio) can also be measured and used directly above the tank ventilation valve, ie from the pressures on both sides of the tank ventilation valve.
- Tank breather valves a higher intake manifold vacuum (lower absolute intake manifold pressure) has a closing effect on the movable armature of the tank breather valve.
- the higher intake manifold vacuum counteracts the valve opening and thus increases the delay time.
- this is taken into account by the fact that the computed! 0 delay time is also increased at a higher intake manifold vacuum.
- control signal formation is shown in the flow diagram of FIG. 3.
- control unit 5 which do not require a detailed explanation.
- the named characteristic and / or the characteristic diagram is stored in the control unit.
- the control unit also contains a program for controlling the tank ventilation valve in dependence on further operating parameters such as
- the delay time tv is due to map access, access to the characteristic curve
- the characteristic diagram or the characteristic curve or the dependencies that are important for the calculation are determined, for example, once for a vehicle type. They can also be corrected on board, as is known from US 5 873 350.
- the value of the ambient pressure can be used as an input variable.
- values for the difference or the ratio of the pressures on both sides of the tank ventilation valve can be used as an input variable.
