Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for regulating the mixture in an internal combustion engine with a catalytic converter and a lambda sensor downstream of the catalytic converter.
- a method for the positive excitation of a lambda control which improves the exhaust gas conversion in a three-way catalytic converter.
- a mixture control is carried out, fluctuating around a lambda setpoint, which alternately has rich and lean exhaust gas packets.
- a so-called fine metering of the exhaust gas packets is used.
- the aim is to reduce the size of the catalyst, since a large catalyst, while warm when operating, enables good buffering of mixture formation errors, but shows a high energy requirement in the heating phase or poor light-off behavior.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method for mixture control, which reliably ensures a high conversion quality even with reduced catalysts.
- a control system reads in lambda values e successively measured by the lambda probe and compares the current lambda value with a previously read lambda value. If the comparison indicates a drop in the lambda value, then the controller can make a mixture change 2003 P 10238
- This mixture change is triggered when the lambda value has fallen by or by more than a predetermined constant.
- the change in the lambda values is compared with the constant.
- a lambda value falling by more than a predetermined constant indicates that the catalytic converter is at risk of breakthrough, so the control unit intervenes directly in the mixture formation.
- the controller triggers a check whether the lambda value continues to fall for a number of subsequent measured values.
- this checking mode also referred to as dynamic mode, there is no immediate intervention in the mixture formation. This procedure makes it possible to reduce unnecessary interventions in the mixture formation. This creates the possibility of downsizing the catalyst and nevertheless ensuring a safe exhaust gas conversion.
- a comparison value is calculated from the current lambda value and a mixture change is triggered if, firstly, more than a minimum number of measured values have been checked and, secondly, the comparison value is less than a predetermined constant. There is therefore no intervention in the case in which the comparison value is greater than the predetermined constant or a minimum number of measured values has not yet been checked since the lambda signal first fell.
- the above conditions ensure that the control mode does not suppress any control intervention in the mixture formation, but rather only under certain conditions.
- the comparison value defined in this way can also be greater than 1 and less than 0. If the values of the current lambda value are greater than or equal to the maximum value, the comparison value is greater than or equal to 1. If the current lambda value is less than the minimum value, the comparison value is negative.
- the intervention in the mixture formation preferably takes place by changing the frequency and / or amplitude of a forced excitation.
- the intervention in the mixture change is carried out by suppressing the lean exhaust gas packets of the forced excitation. So there is a slight lifting of the
- the check of the subsequent measured values is ended if the lambda values do not fall further within a predetermined number of measured values. Resetting the dynamic mode ensures that signal changes that occur significantly later are no longer interpreted against the background of the previous signal change.
- the constants are determined, for example the constants for the fall in the lambda values, the number of measured values to be checked and / or the minimum number of measured values that are required to trigger an intervention in the dynamic mode from the operating point. It is conceivable to determine all constants, combinations of the constants or only a single constant depending on the operating point. Is preferred when loading 2003 P 10238
- the duration of the monitoring and the number of the lambda values to be monitored can be specified as a physical time, depending on the time, or depending on the segment, based on the exhaust gas packets. It is also possible to make the duration dependent on the oxygen mass balance.
- the post-cat probe is a binary probe whose signals are analyzed in the transition area between rich and lean mixture formation.
- the measured post-catalyst probe signal VLS_DOWN is related to two operating point-dependent maximum and minimum values.
- the maximum value VLS_DOWN_MAX and the minimum value VL_DOWN_MIN preferably depend on the current air mass (MAF) and the speed (N).
- a comparison value FAC_VLS_DOWN is determined using the minimum and maximum values. The comparison value is calculated using the following formula:
- VLS_DOWN - VLS_DOWN_MIN FAC_VLS_DOWN VLS DOWN MAX - VLS DOWN MIN 2003 P 10238
- the comparison value takes values less than 0 if VLS_DOWN is less than VLS_DOWN_MIN. If the current lambda value is greater than the maximum value (VLS_DOWN> VLS_DOWN_MAX), values greater than 1 can also occur.
- VLS_DOWN VLS_DOWN
- VLS_DOWN_OLD previous VLS_DOWN value
- VLS_DOWN_GRD VLS_DOWN_OLD - VLS_DOWN
- VLS_DOWN_GRD> 0 a positive gradient
- a rising gradient means an increasing falling of the signal.
- VLS_DOWN_GRD_OLD a previous gradient
- VLS_DOWN_GRD_OLD the value for the previous gradient
- VLS_DOWN_GRD_OLD the value for the previous gradient
- a counter is incremented with each segment (CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST).
- the counter is then compared with a predetermined constant C_CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST. If the counter is greater than the constant, the dynamic state LV_VLS_DOWN_DYN is reset and the counter CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST is reset to zero.
- the dynamic state is maintained for a certain time or a certain number of segments (C__CTR_VLS_DOWN__CONST). If there is no further drop in the post-catalyst signal during this time, there is no dynamic state. There is no rule intervention here.
- a slow falling of the post-cat sensor signal in relation to the constant C_CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST is not recognized as a critical dynamic and is processed by a function described below.
- Fig. 1 explains the case described above in more detail.
- the post-cat probe signal falls and the counter is incremented.
- CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST is counted up and if the specified constant (5 segments in the example shown) is exceeded, the dynamic bit 16 is reset again at the transition 22 to 24.
- the specified constant 5 segments in the example shown
- LV_VLS_DOWN_DYN_DOWN is set to 1 in 40 or 42.
- the counter CTR_VLS_DOWN_DYN is incremented with each segment.
- a control intervention takes place in order to prevent all lean exhaust gas packets of the catalytic converter's forced excitation.
- a good conversion rate in a three-way catalytic converter requires forced excitation, in which slightly lean and lightly rich exhaust gas packs are used according to a certain pattern. Switching off the lean packs thus ensures a richer overall mixture on average over time.
- the first part of the condition ensures that the control intervention only takes place when the second falling post-cat probe signal 44 takes place after a minimum number of segments after the first drop 34.
- the minimum number of segments is called constant C_CTR_VLS_DYN_ HD.
- there is therefore a control intervention due to the slight drop in the post-catalyst signal 44 which merely suppresses the lean exhaust gas packets of the forced excitation and thus slowly leads to an enrichment in the mean value over time. This makes it possible to react to a slow drop in the post-cat probe signals through a slow intervention.
- FIG. 3 shows how a first drop in post-cat probe signal 46 activates dynamic mode 48. If the dynamic mode is activated, the example fails 2003 P 10238
- the post-cat signal 56 increases after the control intervention has taken place, so that regular operation then takes place again through the reset dynamic mode 58.
- C_CTR_VLS_DOWN_CONST C_CTR_VLS_DYN_THD
- C_FAC_VLS_DOWN_DYN C_VLS_DOWN_GRD_DYN
- C_VLS_DOWN_GRD_DYN can depend on further physical and chemical variables. These variables can be determined directly or based on a model, for example, the operating point-dependent exhaust gas composition can be used to calculate these constants.
- controller speed is therefore dependent on the operating point of the engine, in particular on the air mass flow (MAF) and the speed (N), and the condition or operating point (VLS_D0WN) of the catalytic converter.
- the counter CTR_VLS_DOWN_DYN was used for a segment-synchronous calculation.
- a time-synchronous calculation or to refer to the oxygen mass balance.
- Another possibility is to relate the threshold to an amount of exhaust gas.
