Aus der DE 34 06 732 A1 ist ein Arbeitsverfahren für Hubkolbenverbrennungskraftmaschinen mit innerer Verbrennung bekannt, bei dem die Zündung des Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches durch eine Zündeinrichtung oder mittels Selbstzündung erfolgt. Das Arbeitstaktverfahren läuft dabei in sechs Takten mit der folgenden Taktweise ab:

  • 1. Takt: Ansaugen,
  • 2. Takt: Verdichten und Einspritzen einer Kraftstoffteilmenge,
  • 3. Takt: erster Arbeitstakt,
  • 4. Takt: Neu verdichten der Abgase, die noch ungebundenen Sauerstoff enthalten und Einspritzen einer zweiten Kraftstoffteilmenge,
  • 5. Takt: Zweiter Arbeitstakt,

DE 34 06 732 A1 discloses a working method for internal combustion piston reciprocating internal combustion engines, in which the ignition of the fuel-air mixture is carried out by an ignition device or by means of auto-ignition. The work cycle procedure runs in six cycles with the following cycle:
  • 1st cycle: suction,
  • 2nd stroke: compression and injection of a partial fuel quantity,
  • 3rd bar: first work bar,
  • 4th stroke: recompress the exhaust gases that still contain unbound oxygen and inject a second sub-quantity of fuel,
  • 5th bar: second work bar,
  • 6th measure: Extend.

Dieses Verfahren wird sowohl für den Diesel-Motor, bei dem die Zündung des Kraftstoffes durch Kompressionszündung erfolgt, als auch für den Otto-Motor, bei dem die Zündung des Kraftstoffes durch eine Zündeinrichtung erfolgt, beschrieben.This procedure is used for both the diesel engine, in which the ignition of the Fuel is made by compression ignition, as well as for the Otto engine which is the ignition of the fuel by an ignition device described.

Die DE 33 17 128 A1 beschreibt eine Brennkraftmaschine, welche nach einem Sechstakt-Zyklus arbeitet. Während eines Einlasshubes wird ein Treibstoff-Luftgemisch in den Zylinder eingelassen, welches in einem ersten Kompressionshub komprimiert wird. Im Anschluss an die Zündung des komprimierten Treibstoff-Luftgemisches erfolgt ein erster Krafthub. In einem darauffolgenden zweiten Kompressionshub werden die Verbrennungsprodukte komprimiert. Am Ende des zweiten Kompressionshubes wird der Zylinderinhalt durch eine Zündkerze gezündet. Es folgt ein zweiter Krafthub in Folge der Expansion der komprimierten Verbrennungsprodukte und schließlich ein Auslasshub, währenddessen die Verbrennungsgase aus dem Zylinder herausgetrieben werden.DE 33 17 128 A1 describes an internal combustion engine, which according to a Six-stroke cycle works. During an intake stroke, a fuel-air mixture embedded in the cylinder, which in a first compression stroke is compressed. Following the ignition of the compressed fuel-air mixture there is a first power stroke. In a subsequent second Compression stroke, the combustion products are compressed. At the end of second compression stroke, the cylinder content is ignited by a spark plug. A second power stroke follows as a result of the expansion of the compressed Combustion products and finally an exhaust stroke, during which the Combustion gases are driven out of the cylinder.

Bei den bekannten Sechstakt-Brennkraftmaschinen liegt zu Beginn des ersten und des zweiten Arbeitshubes entweder Kompressionszündung von Diesel- oder Fremdzündung von Otto-Kraftstoff vor.In the known six-stroke internal combustion engines is the beginning of the first and the second stroke either compression ignition of diesel or Spark ignition of petrol.

Brennkraftmaschinen, welche zumindest teilweise und mit homogener Fremdzündung von Benzin betrieben werden, benötigen für eine sichere Zündung des Luft-Kraftstoff-Restgasgemisches hohe Füllungstemperaturen, sowie hohe Restgasmengen.Internal combustion engines, which are at least partially and with homogeneous spark ignition operated by petrol, need for a safe ignition of the Air-fuel-residual gas mixture high filling temperatures, as well as high residual gas quantities.

Aus der AT 3.135 U ist ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Otto-Kraftstoffbetriebenen Brennkraftmaschine bekannt, deren Motorbetriebsbereich Selbstzündungsund Fremdzündungsbereiche aufweist. Während der Teillast wird die Brennkraftmaschine selbstgezündet betrieben, wobei ein homogenes Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch im Brennraum erzeugt wird und die Verbrennung durch Selbstzündung dieses Kraftstoffgemisches eingeleitet wird. Das aus dem englischen Sprachraum als HCCI-Verfahren (Homogenous Charge Compression Ignition) bezeichnete Verfahren hat besondere Vorteile hinsichtlich der Entstehung von Emissionen. In der AT 5.140 U wird ein Verfahren beschrieben, mit welchem die Selbstzündung des homogenen Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches durch den Restgasgehalt im Brennraum gesteuert werden kann. From AT 3.135 U a method for operating a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine is known, the engine operating area of which has auto-ignition and spark-ignition areas. The internal combustion engine is operated by self-ignition during the partial load, a homogeneous fuel-air mixture being generated in the combustion chamber and the combustion being initiated by self-ignition of this fuel mixture. The designated from the English-speaking world as the HCCI process (H omogenous C harge C ompression I gnition) method has particular advantages with regard to the development of emissions. AT 5.140 U describes a process with which the self-ignition of the homogeneous fuel-air mixture can be controlled by the residual gas content in the combustion chamber.

Speziell bei niedrigen Drehzahlen und Lasten reicht die Abgastemperatur selbst bei extrem hohen Restgasmengen allerdings nicht mehr aus, um die Füllung so stark zu erwärmen, dass eine sichere Selbstzündung erreicht wird. Außerdem wirken sich die längeren Zykluszeiten bei niedrigen Drehzahlen negativ auf die Füllungstemperaturen aus, da mehr Zeit für den Wärmeübergang vorhanden ist.The exhaust gas temperature itself is sufficient, especially at low speeds and loads at extremely high amounts of residual gas, however, no longer enough, so the filling to warm up strongly so that a safe self-ignition is achieved. Moreover The longer cycle times at low speeds have a negative effect on the Filling temperatures because there is more time for heat transfer.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, diese Nachteile zu vermeiden und ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Brennkraftmaschine zu entwickeln, mit welchem einerseits ein hoher Wirkungsgrad und andererseits niedrige Emissionen erreicht werden können.The object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and a method to develop an internal combustion engine, on the one hand high efficiency and low emissions can be achieved can.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass die Einspritzung der zweiten Teilmenge von Otto-Kraftstoff im dritten Takt, vorzugsweise in der zweiten Hälfte des dritten Taktes, erfolgt, dass im Brennraum vor der zweiten Zündung ein zumindest annähernd homogenes Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch gebildet wird und dass die zweite Zündung durch Kompressionszündung dieses homogenen Kraftstoff-Luftgemisches erfolgt.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the injection of the second Subset of petrol in the third stroke, preferably in the second half of the third cycle, there is at least one in the combustion chamber before the second ignition approximately homogeneous fuel-air mixture is formed and that the second ignition by compression ignition of this homogeneous air / fuel mixture he follows.

Vorzugsweise ist dabei vorgesehen, dass das während dem zweiten Takt gebildete Kraftstoff-Luftgemisch mager und geschichtet ist und einen hohen Luftüberschuss mit einem Luft/Kraftstoffverhältnis von λ > 1,5 aufweist. Der Luftüberschuss gewährleistet, dass für die zweite Verbrennung noch ausreichend Sauerstoff zur Verfügung steht. Speziell bei sehr geringen eingespritzten Kraftstoffmengen werden durch die magere Schichtverbrennung nur sehr geringe NOx-Emissionen gebildet. Die Temperatur des verbrannten Gases ist relativ niedrig, aber hoch genug, um damit eine sichere Selbstzündung im zweiten Verbrennungszyklus zu garantieren. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn durch Einstellen der Größe der ersten Teilmenge des im zweiten Takt eingespritzten Otto-Kraftstoffes die im Anschluss an die zweite Zündung im fünften Takt stattfindende Verbrennung geregelt wird. Durch einfaches Variieren der Menge der ersten Einspritzung oder durch Verändern der Aufteilung zwischen erster und zweiter Einspritzung kann die Zusammensetzung des Verbrennungsgases und somit die Ausgangsbedingung für die Kompressionszündung verändert beziehungsweise angepasst werden.It is preferably provided that the fuel-air mixture formed during the second stroke is lean and stratified and has a large excess of air with an air / fuel ratio of λ> 1.5. The excess air ensures that sufficient oxygen is still available for the second combustion. Especially with very small amounts of fuel injected, the lean stratified combustion produces only very low NO x emissions. The temperature of the burned gas is relatively low, but high enough to guarantee safe auto-ignition in the second combustion cycle. It is particularly advantageous if, by adjusting the size of the first subset of the gasoline fuel injected in the second stroke, the combustion that takes place in the fifth stroke following the second ignition is regulated. By simply varying the amount of the first injection or by changing the division between the first and second injection, the composition of the combustion gas and thus the starting condition for the compression ignition can be changed or adapted.

Darüber hinaus hat die Schichtverbrennung den Vorteil eines sehr hohen Wirkungsgrades.In addition, stratified combustion has the advantage of very high efficiency.

Aber auch die homogene Selbstzündung zeichnet sich durch einen guten Wirkungsgrad aus. Speziell hinsichtlich NOx- und Ruß-Emissionen bietet die Kompressionszündung wesentliche Vorteile. Auch der Umstand, dass eventuell entstehender Ruß beziehungsweise Kohlenwasserstoffemissionen aus dem ersten Arbeitszyklus einer weiteren Verbrennung zugeführt und damit verbrannt werden, wirkt sich positiv auf die Emissionen aus.But the homogeneous self-ignition is also characterized by good efficiency. Compression ignition offers significant advantages, particularly with regard to NO x and soot emissions. The fact that any soot or hydrocarbon emissions from the first work cycle are fed to a further combustion and thus burned also has a positive effect on the emissions.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsvarianten der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass im Bereich des Überganges zwischen dem dritten und dem vierten Takt eine Druckanpassung im Brennraum durchgeführt wird. Die Druckniveauregulierung im Brennraum kann für die Steuerung der Selbstzündung genutzt werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Druckanpassung durch ein kurzfristiges Öffnen zumindest eines Hubventils, vorzugsweise eines Einlassventils durchgeführt wird.In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, that in the area of the transition between the third and fourth A pressure adjustment is carried out in the combustion chamber. The pressure level regulation in the combustion chamber can be used to control auto-ignition. It is particularly advantageous if the pressure adjustment by a short-term Opening at least one lift valve, preferably an inlet valve becomes.

Dabei dient ein aus dem sechsten und dem ersten Takt bestehender erster Zyklus dem Gaswechsel, das heißt dem Ausschieben von Abgas, sowie dem Ansaugen von Frischfüllung. Der zweite Zyklus - zweiter und dritter Takt- besteht aus Kompression, fremdgezündeter, magerer Schichtverbrennung (SCSI - Stratified Charge Spat Ignition) und Expansion und bildet den ersten Arbeitszyklus. Das magere Abgas aus diesem ersten Arbeitszyklus wird nicht ausgeschoben sondern verbleibt im Zylinder und dient als Füllung für den folgenden dritten Zyklus (vierter und fünfter Takt). Dieser dritte Zyklus ist der zweite Arbeitszyklus und wird durch eine homogene Kompressionszündung (HCCI) charakterisiert. Darauf folgt wieder das Ausschieben des Abgases des ersten Zyklus.Here, a first cycle consisting of the sixth and the first cycle serves to change the gas, that is to say to push out exhaust gas and to draw in fresh fill. The second cycle - the second and third clock consists of compression, spark ignition, stratified lean combustion (SCSI - S tratified C harge S pat gnition I) and expansion and forms the first cycle of operation. The lean exhaust gas from this first work cycle is not pushed out but remains in the cylinder and serves as a filling for the following third cycle (fourth and fifth stroke). This third cycle is the second work cycle and is characterized by homogeneous compression ignition (HCCI). This is followed by the exhaust of the first cycle.

Die niedrigen Ladungswechselverluste und die Kombination der beiden Brennverfahren SCSI und HCCI, so wie die Tatsache, dass bei diesem Sechstakt-Arbeitsverfahren zwei Arbeitszyklen einem Ladungswechselzyklus gegenüber stehen, garantieren hohes Verbrauchspotential bei niedrigsten Emissionen.The low gas exchange losses and the combination of the two combustion processes SCSI and HCCI, like the fact that this six-stroke process two working cycles are opposed to one charge cycle, guarantee high consumption potential with lowest emissions.

Die Erfindung wird anhand der Figur näher erläutert.The invention is illustrated by the figure.

Die Figur zeigt die Ventilhübe h der Auslassventile und der Einlassventile, wobei mit Bezugszeichen 1 der Auslassventilhub und mit Bezugszeichen 2 der Einlassventilhub bezeichnet ist.The figure shows the valve strokes h of the exhaust valves and the intake valves, wherein with reference number 1 the exhaust valve lift and with reference number 2 the intake valve lift is designated.

Die Linie 3 zeigt die Einspritzereignisse in den Brennraum.Line 3 shows the injection events in the combustion chamber.

Im unteren Teil des Diagramms ist der Zylinderdruck p über dem Kurbelwinkel KW aufgetragen. Diese Kurve ist mit Bezugszeichen 4 bezeichnet.In the lower part of the diagram, the cylinder pressure p is above the crank angle KW applied. This curve is designated by reference number 4.

Das Arbeitsverfahren weist sechs Takte I, II, III, IV, V, VI auf, wobei jeweils zwei Takte einem Zyklus A, B, C angehören. Der erste Zyklus A dient dem Gaswechsel und besteht aus dem Takt VI zum Ausschieben des Abgases und dem Takt I zum Ansaugen von Luft. Der zweite Zyklus B besteht aus dem Takt II, bei dem die Luft im Zylinder verdichtet wird und eine erste Teilmenge von Otto-Kraftstoff eingespritzt wird, sowie den Takt III dem ersten Arbeitshub des Kolbens. Am Ende des Taktes II wird die erste Teilmenge von Otto-Kraftstoff eingespritzt, wie mit Bezugszeichen 3a angedeutet ist. Gleich darauf wird am Ende des Taktes II das magere und geschichtete Gemisch durch eine Zündeinrichtung gezündet, wie durch Bezugszeichen 5 angedeutet ist. Dabei erfolgt eine magere Schichtverbrennung. Das magere Abgas aus dem ersten Arbeitszyklus B wird nicht ausgeschoben, sondern verbleibt im Zylinder und dient als Füllung für den darauffolgenden dritten Zyklus C, dem zweiten Arbeitszyklus. Der zweite Arbeitszyklus weist den Takt IV, während dem der Zylinderinhalt neu verdichtet wird, und den Takt V, den zweiten Arbeithub des Kolbens, auf.The working process has six bars I, II, III, IV, V, VI, two each Bars belong to a cycle A, B, C. The first cycle A is used to change the gas and consists of the clock VI for pushing out the exhaust gas and the clock I for Sucking in air. The second cycle B consists of the clock II, in which the Air is compressed in the cylinder and a first subset of petrol is injected, as well as stroke III, the first working stroke of the piston. At the At the end of cycle II, the first subset of petrol is injected, such as is indicated with reference number 3a. Immediately afterwards, at the end of bar II the lean and stratified mixture ignited by an igniter, such as is indicated by reference numeral 5. This leads to a lean stratified combustion. The lean exhaust gas from the first work cycle B is not pushed out, but remains in the cylinder and serves as a filling for the next one third cycle C, the second cycle. The second cycle has the stroke IV, during which the cylinder content is recompressed, and the Cycle V, the second working stroke of the piston.

In der zweiten Hälfte des Taktes III wird eine zweite Teilmenge von Otto-Kraftstoff in den Brennraum eingespritzt. Durch diese frühe Einspritzung wird bis zum durch Bezugszeichen 6 angedeuteten Zeitpunkt der zweiten Zündung eine Homogenisierung des Gemisches erreicht. Die zweite Zündung 6 ist eine Kompressionszündung. Danach erfolgt im Takt VI wieder das Ausschieben des Abgases.In the second half of measure III there is a second subset of petrol injected into the combustion chamber. By this early injection until Homogenization, indicated by reference number 6, of the second ignition of the mixture reached. The second ignition 6 is a compression ignition. The exhaust gas is then pushed out again in cycle VI.

Zwischen den beiden Arbeitszyklen B und C kann ein kurzes Öffnen zumindest eines Einlassventils vorgesehen sein, um das Druckniveau im Zylinder zu regulieren. Dieses kurze Öffnen des Einlassventils ist mit Bezugszeichen 2a angedeutet. Die Duckanpassung durch kurzes Öffnen des Einlassventils im Bereich des unteren Totpunktes zwischen dem Zyklus III und dem Zyklus IV kann für die Steuerung der Selbstzündung genutzt werden.Between the two working cycles B and C, a short opening can at least of an intake valve may be provided to regulate the pressure level in the cylinder. This brief opening of the inlet valve is indicated by reference number 2a. The pressure adjustment by briefly opening the inlet valve in the area bottom dead center between cycle III and cycle IV can be for the Control of the auto ignition can be used.

Die magere Schichtverbrennung im Arbeitszyklus B funktioniert mit hohem Luft-überschuss und produziert speziell bei sehr wenig eingespritztem Kraftstoff sehr geringe NOx-Emissionen. Auch die Temperatur des verbrannten Gases ist relativ gering, jedoch aber hoch genug, um damit eine sichere Selbstzündung im folgenden Arbeitszyklus C zu garantieren. Durch einfaches Variieren der Einspritzmenge kann die Zusammensetzung des Verbrennungsgases und somit die Ausgangsbedingung für die Kompressionszündung 6 verändert beziehungsweise angepasst werden. Sowohl die Schichtverbrennung als auch die homogene Selbstzündung zeichnen sich durch einen hohen Wirkungsgrad aus.The stratified lean combustion in the cycle B works with high air surplus and produced especially for very little fuel injected very low NO x emissions. The temperature of the burned gas is also relatively low, but high enough to guarantee reliable auto-ignition in the following working cycle C. By simply varying the injection quantity, the composition of the combustion gas and thus the starting condition for the compression ignition 6 can be changed or adapted. Both stratified combustion and homogeneous self-ignition are characterized by high efficiency.

Speziell hinsichtlich der NOx- und Ruß-Emissionen bietet die Kompressionszündung 6 deutliche Vorteile. Auch der Umstand, dass eventuell entstehender Ruß beziehungsweise Kohlenwasserstoffemissionen aus dem ersten Arbeitszyklus B einer weiteren Verbrennung zugeführt und damit verbrannt werden, wirkt sich positiv auf die Emissionen aus.Compression ignition 6 offers significant advantages, particularly with regard to NO x and soot emissions. The fact that any soot or hydrocarbon emissions from the first work cycle B are fed to a further combustion and thus burned also has a positive effect on the emissions.

Der niedrige Ladungswechselverlust und die Kombination der beiden Brennverfahren, sowie die Tatsache, dass bei dem beschriebenen Sechstakt-Verfahren zwei Arbeitszyklen B, C einem Ladungswechselzyklus A gegenüberstehen, garantieren hohes Verbrauchspotential bei niedrigsten Emissionen.The low gas exchange loss and the combination of the two combustion processes, and the fact that with the six-stroke method described guarantee two working cycles B, C against a charge exchange cycle A. high consumption potential with lowest emissions.
