Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel pump for supplying the injection system of an internal combustion engine with fuel according to the preamble of claim 1, a fuel injection system according to the preamble of claim 11, and a method for operating such a fuel pump according to the preamble of claim 14.
- the fuel is transported from the tank to a fuel rail by means of a pump arrangement, which serves as a storage container for the fuel.
- the fuel is already under high pressure in the fuel rail.
- the fuel can be injected directly into the cylinders via injection valves connected to the rail.
- the pump arrangement comprises a high-pressure fuel pump. Fuel is supplied to this fuel pump via a low-pressure inlet, and the fuel pressure is increased by means of the pump piston. The fuel then reaches the fuel rail via the high-pressure outlet of the fuel pump.
- a control valve is provided for this purpose at the low-pressure inlet, which can be closed via a valve control signal. It is necessary that this control valve be reliably closed during the upward movement of the pump piston so that the fuel pressure required for high-pressure direct injection can be built up in the interior of the pump and in the fuel rail connected to the high-pressure outlet of the pump.
- a high-pressure pump typically also has a check valve arranged at the high-pressure outlet, which is intended to prevent fuel from flowing back from the fuel rail into the high-pressure pump.
- a fuel injection system with a backing pump, a high-pressure feed pump and a storage line is known, which is hydraulically connected to the high-pressure feed pump via a check valve. Injectors of an internal combustion engine are connected to the storage line.
- the high pressure feed pump has an overflow valve which is used to control the amount of fuel discharged into the storage line.
- the high-pressure feed pump has a pump chamber which is delimited by a plunger. The plunger is driven by a drive shaft that has several cams. Depending on the movement of the plunger and the closed state of the overflow valve, the amount of fuel and the fuel pressure with which fuel is fed into the storage line is determined.
- the check valve opens at a very early point in time because the pressure in the pump interior exceeds the counteracting pressure in the rail at a very early point in time.
- the check valve may even open before the control valve closes. In this case, during the upward movement of the
- the fuel pump according to the invention for supplying fuel to the injection system of an internal combustion engine has a low-pressure inlet, via which fuel is supplied to the fuel pump.
- the fuel pump has a high pressure outlet as well as a control valve and a pump piston.
- the control valve can be used to interrupt the fuel supply via the low pressure input as a function of a valve control pulse.
- the valve control pulse for interrupting the fuel supply is active at the point in time at which the pressure wave generated by the upward movement of the pump piston arrives at the control valve.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that the static fuel pressure in the fuel pump is often not sufficient to ensure reliable closing of the control valve, and therefore dynamic effects must be exploited to avoid the problems encountered in the prior art solutions.
- the upward movement of the pump piston causes a pressure wave in the pump.
- this pressure wave is used to support the closing of the control valve.
- the control valve is controlled with the aid of the valve control pulse when the pressure wave at the location of the control valve assumes its maximum value.
- the valve control pulse must be active at this time.
- the use of the fuel pump according to the invention in particular enables a so-called high-pressure start, in which a certain pressure level must already be present in the rail for the first injection.
- the pump piston is driven by means of a pump cam attached to a camshaft.
- the delivery rate of the fuel pump is also automatically displayed when the engine speed is increased. lifted. This can cover the increased fuel consumption of the engine.
- valve control pulse is triggered with a defined delay time compared to the bottom dead center of the pump piston. While in the high-pressure pumps of the prior art the valve control pulse was triggered at the beginning of the upward movement of the pump piston, that is to say at bottom dead center, the valve control pulse is triggered with a delay in the solution according to the invention, in each case when that of the upward movement of the Piston generated pressure wave arrives at the control valve.
- the valve control pulse is triggered by a defined delay after bottom dead center to ensure that the control valve closes reliably.
- the speed-dependent delay time can easily be taken into account when generating the valve control signal.
- the point in time at which the valve control pulse is triggered is determined by the point of the highest pump piston speed during the upward movement of the pump piston, taking into account the running time required for the pressure wave to propagate from the pump piston to the control valve.
- the dynamic effect of the pressure wave generated by the upward movement of the pump piston to close the control valve it must first be determined at which point of the upward movement of the piston the maximum pressure amplitude occurs.
- the fuel pressure p depends on the formula
- the maximum amplitude of the fuel pressure occurs at the point of upward movement of the piston at which the piston speed speed v is maximum.
- the running time of the pressure wave from the pump piston to the control valve must also be taken into account. This consideration of the pump geometry causes an additional delay in the time at which the valve control pulse should be triggered.
- the deceleration of the valve control pulse with respect to the bottom dead center position is additionally reduced with increasing engine speed. Since the pressure amplitude in the fuel is proportional to the respective pump piston speed and the pump piston speeds increase with increasing speed, higher pressures also result in higher pressures inside the pump. Therefore, at a high speed, there is already a sufficient pressure amplitude at an earlier point in time, which can support the closing of the control valve, and in this respect the delay time can be reduced. A speed-dependent delay of the valve control pulse enables optimal operation of the high pressure pump.
- the deceleration of the valve control pulse is defined as the deceleration angle with respect to the camshaft angle corresponding to the bottom dead center position of the pump piston.
- the delay time by which the valve control pulse is to be decelerated from the bottom dead center position can be converted into a correction angle with respect to the rotating camshaft or the rotating pump cam.
- the camshaft After the bottom dead center position has been passed, the camshaft must rotate by exactly this correction angle, and then the valve control pulse must be triggered.
- the corresponding camshaft position can serve as a trigger for the generation of the valve control pulse.
- the deceleration angle is between 15 ° and 45 °.
- an extended valve control pulse is used as the valve control pulse, which remains active until the time at which the pressure wave generated by the upward movement of the pump piston arrives at the control valve.
- an extended valve control pulse is used, which is always released at the same time. The duration of the extended control pulse is selected so that the control pulse is still active when the pressure wave generated by the upward movement of the pump piston arrives at the control valve.
- the pressure wave supports the closing of the control valve.
- valve control pulse It is advantageous if the lengthening of the valve control pulse also decreases with increasing engine speed. As the engine speed increases, both the pump piston speed and the pressure amplitude in the fuel increase. Therefore, at higher speeds, there are higher pressures inside the pump. At a high speed, there is already a sufficient pressure amplitude at an earlier point in time, which supports the closing of the control valve. At high speeds, the valve control pulse must longer than at low speeds. The fuel pump can therefore be operated optimally with a speed-dependent extension of the control pulse.
- the control valve is an electromagnetically actuated control valve
- the valve control pulse is an electrical valve control pulse.
- an electromagnetic control valve has a coil with which a magnetic field can be generated. The armature of the solenoid valve is accelerated towards the valve seat by the magnetic field, and the valve is thereby closed.
- the electrical valve control pulse required to actuate the valve can be generated with the aid of an electrical or electronic control circuit. This enables an exact time control of the valve control pulse and thus also an exact time control of the closing of the valve.
- the fuel pump has a check valve at the high-pressure outlet, which prevents the fuel from flowing back from the injection system back into the fuel pump.
- the check valve remains closed. A backflow of fuel back into the pump, which would reduce the high pressure generated in the fuel rail, can be prevented in this way.
- the check valve is only opened if the pressure in the pump interior is higher than the pressure in the fuel rail , With the help of the check valve, the high pressure required in the fuel rail can be built up in a short time.
- the fuel injection system comprises a low pressure pump which supplies fuel to the low pressure inlet of the fuel pump, and a fuel rail which is connected to the high pressure outlet of the fuel pump.
- the fuel rail supplies the required fuel to a number of injection valves.
- a pump arrangement which comprises a low-pressure pump and a high-pressure pump according to the invention, enables a rapid pressure build-up in the fuel rail.
- a short starting time is made possible in internal combustion engines with a storage injection system.
- the fuel rail has a pressure sensor that detects the fuel pressure within the fuel rail.
- the pressure sensor can in particular be used to determine whether or not the fuel pressure required for high-pressure direct injection has already been reached in the rail.
- the delivery rate of the fuel pump is varied as a function of the fuel pressure determined by the pressure sensor.
- the delivery rate of the fuel pump according to the invention is thus set with the aid of a control circuit, the delivery rate being regulated as a function of the difference between the actual value and the setpoint value of the fuel pressure.
- the method according to the invention is used to operate a fuel pump which delivers the fuel by means of a pump piston and supplies an injection system with fuel via a high-pressure outlet.
- the fuel supply to the fuel pump via a low pressure inlet can be carried out by means of of a control valve are interrupted as a function of a valve control pulse.
- the valve control pulse is activated to interrupt the fuel supply at the time when the pressure wave generated by the upward movement of the pump piston arrives at the control valve.

- FIG. 9 is a plot of measurement results, which shows the relationship between the percentage elongation of the valve control pulse and the engine speed.
- 1 shows an overview of an accumulator injection system for an internal combustion engine.
- the fuel passes from a tank 1 via a tank line 2 to a low-pressure pump 3, which is preferably an electrical low-pressure pump.
- a mechanical pressure regulator 4 the amount of fuel delivered by the low-pressure pump 3 is regulated in such a way that fuel with a suitable base pressure is available at a low-pressure inlet 6 of a fuel pump 8 via a fuel line 5. Excess fuel is returned to tank 1 via a tank return line 7.
- a quantity-controlled low-pressure pump can also be used.
- the fuel pump 8 It is the task of the fuel pump 8 to convey the fuel supplied via the low pressure inlet 6 to a fuel rail 11.
- a certain pressure level in the fuel rail 11 is required for the operation of an internal combustion engine with high pressure direct injection.
- the fuel pump 8, which can be designed as a single-piston high-pressure pump, for example, brings the fuel to the required high pressure level. Via a high-pressure outlet 9 and a check valve 10, the fuel reaches the fuel rail 11, which serves as a storage container for the fuel under high pressure.
- the check valve 10 prevents the fuel from flowing back from the fuel rail 11 into the fuel pump 8.
- a number of injection valves 12 are connected to the fuel rail 11, via which the fuel can be injected directly into the respective cylinder interior.
- the pressure prevailing in the fuel rail 11 can be detected with the aid of the fuel pressure sensor 13.
- the measured pressure value is transmitted via a signal line 14 to a control unit 15, which is designed in the form of an engine control unit and compares the actual value of the fuel pressure in the rail with the target value and from the difference between the two Values generated an actuating signal 16.
- the fuel pump 8 comprises a control valve 18, with which the delivery capacity of the fuel pump 8 is regulated as a function of the control signal 16. The more the actual value deviates from the target value, the higher the delivery rate of the fuel pump 8 is selected. The delivery rate is determined by the point in time at which the control valve 18 closes in the pump stroke.
- the structure of a single-piston high-pressure pump is shown in cross section in FIG. 2.
- Fuel is supplied to the fuel pump via a low pressure connection 17.
- the control valve 18 has a closing element which can be pressed against a valve seat 21 by an electromagnet in order to close the low-pressure connection 17.
- the closing member is exposed to the pressure in the pump interior 19, which also presses the closing member against the valve seat 21 with a force.
- the control valve 18 is designed as an inward opening, i.e. opening towards the pump interior 19
- Control valve formed, which opens against the pressure in the pump interior 19.
- a valve control pulse 16 is applied to the electromagnetic control valve 18 by the control device 15 (see also FIG.
- control unit 15 is connected to a memory in which the methods and characteristic fields are stored which are required to control the control valve 18.
- a pump cam 22 is connected to a rotating camshaft 23.
- a pump piston 24 is alternately moved up and down by means of the pump cam 22.
- the control valve 18 is closed, then the pressure in the pump interior 19 located fuel 25 exerted an increasing pressure by means of the pump piston 24.
- the check valve 10 opens and the fuel 25 reaches the fuel rail via the high-pressure connection 27 of the injection system.
- the control valve 18 remains open, and new fuel can get into the pump interior 19 from the low-pressure connection 17.
- the fuel pressure in the pump interior 19 is lower than the fuel pressure on the other side of the check valve 10, that is to say on the side of the high-pressure connection 27, and therefore the check valve 10 remains closed during the downward movement of the pump piston 24. This prevents fuel from flowing back into the fuel pump from the fuel rail.
- FIG 3 shows an overview of the various phases that occur during the operation of a single-piston high-pressure pump.
- the control valve is open and fuel flows into the pump interior from the low-pressure inlet.
- the check valve is closed.
- control valve With a subsequent upward movement 29 of the pump piston, the control valve is initially still open. The control valve is closed by a valve control pulse 30. As the pump piston continues to move upward, pressure builds up inside the pump, which opens the check valve. The fuel is pressed into the fuel rail from the interior of the pump via the high-pressure connection.
- Fig. 4 the pump piston elevation (in mm) as a function of the camshaft angle (in degrees) for the upward movement of the Pump piston plotted, which is available to the control unit as a characteristic. The question arises at which point the valve control pulse should be triggered to close the control valve during the upward movement of the pump piston.
- valve control pulse was triggered at the start of the upward movement of the pump piston, that is to say shortly after the bottom dead center was passed by the pump piston.
- valve control pulse If the valve control pulse is then triggered, the control valve cannot be closed or cannot be kept closed due to the low pressure in the pump interior. During the further upward movement of the pump piston, fuel also escapes through the control valve back into the low-pressure circuit. The escaping fuel prevents the pressure in the fuel rail from building up quickly, and this affects the behavior of the injection system, particularly when starting.
- the pump piston speed (in mm / ms) for various engine speeds is plotted as a function of the camshaft angle (in degrees) in FIG. 5. These characteristics are available to the control unit. Due to the shape of the pump cam, the Fuel pump, to which the curves refer, reaches the maximum of the pump piston speed at a camshaft angle of approximately 25 °.
- the relationship between the speed amplitude v of the pump piston and the fuel pressure p can be determined using the
- p denotes the density of the fuel
- c denotes the phase velocity or sound velocity of a longitudinal wave in the fuel. Since p and c are constants, there is a direct proportionality between the speed v of the pump piston and the fuel pressure p.
- phase velocity or sound velocity c of a longitudinal wave in a liquid The following applies to the phase velocity or sound velocity c of a longitudinal wave in a liquid:
- p denotes the density of the fuel
- K the compression modulus
- ⁇ the compressibility of the fuel
- a sufficiently high pressure amplitude at the control valve would cause the control valve to close quickly and reliably.
- the maximum pressure amplitude at the pump piston occurs at the point of the upward movement at which the pump piston speed is maximum. In the example shown in FIG. 5, this is the case at a camshaft angle of approximately 25 °.
- the valve control pulse for closing the control valve is set down at the point with the highest pump piston speed with additional consideration of the pump geometry.
- the control pulse for the control valve is triggered exactly when the pressure wave caused by the upward movement of the pump piston arrives at the control valve. Even if the static pressure conditions are not sufficient to ensure that the control valve closes safely, the inventive consideration of the additional dynamic effect of the arrival of the pressure wave on the control valve enables the control valve to be closed securely.
- valve control pulse 34 The necessary delay of the valve control pulse can be specified as a correction angle compared to the bottom dead center position.
- Fig. 6 it is shown how, by means of the correction angle 31, the previous valve control pulse 32, which in the solutions of the prior art. Technology was triggered at the start of the upward movement 33 of the pump piston, is output with a delay.
- the valve control pulse 34 according to the invention triggers the closing of the control valve precisely when the incoming one
- Pressure wave supports the closing process. Values for the correction angle as a function of the load and / or the speed of the internal combustion engine and / or the pressure in the fuel rail are stored in the memory of the control unit.
- the characteristic curve is stored in the memory of the control unit. The reason for the reduction in the minimum required engine speed is that the pressure wave caused by the pump piston has already reached the control valve at the point in time at which the valve control pulse is triggered and there is therefore a sufficient pressure amplitude on the control valve for reliable closing. This is only the case with smaller correction angles if the speed and thus also the pump piston speed are sufficiently high. If the speed exceeds a maximum value of 1200, for example
- valve control pulse can close the control valve at the point in time at which the desired delivery rate is achieved.
- valve control pulse 35 of defined length was triggered at the start of the upward movement 36 of the pump piston.
- an extended valve control pulse 37 is used, which is still active when the pressure wave caused by the pump piston movement arrives.
- Values for the time extension of the control pulse depending on the load and / or speed of the internal combustion engine, on the pressure in the fuel rail and on the correction angle, are stored in the memory of the control unit.
- the closing of the control valve is supported by the pressure wave, so that reliable closing and rapid pressure build-up are ensured.
- valve control pulse As a combination is also possible between a valve control pulse according to FIG. 6 that is shifted in time with respect to bottom dead center and a valve control pulse that is extended in time according to FIG. 9, it can be seen that by lengthening the valve control pulse it is possible to significantly lower the minimum engine speed required for the pressure build-up.
- the pressure wave caused by the movement of the pump piston contributes to the closing of the valve, and therefore lower pressure amplitudes can be used in the area of the longer valve control pulses.
- the invention is particularly advantageous when the internal combustion engine is started, in which the actual pressure in the fuel rail 11 is lower than a desired target pressure.
- the control valve 18 was closed in this situation at the bottom dead center of the pump piston 24 in order to set a maximum delivery rate of the high-pressure pump 8.
- the control valve 18 is only closed later and maximum delivery capacity is dispensed with in favor of a safe closing of the control valve 18.
