Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling a valve. It also relates to a method for controlling a pump-nozzle device with a valve.
- the valve has a valve drive, which is designed as a piezo actuator, a valve member, a valve body and a valve seat.
- a pump-nozzle device is used in particular for supplying fuel to a combustion chamber of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel internal combustion engine.
- a pump, a control unit with the valve and a nozzle unit form a structural unit.
- a piston of the pump is preferably driven via a camshaft of an internal combustion engine by means of a rocker arm.
- the pump can be hydraulically coupled to a low-pressure fuel supply device via the valve. It is hydraulically coupled on the outlet side to the nozzle unit. Start of injection and injection quantity are determined by the valve and its valve drive.
- the compact design of the pump-nozzle device results in a very low high-pressure volume and great hydraulic rigidity. This enables very high injection pressures of around 2,000 bar. This high injection pressure in conjunction with the good controllability of the start of injection and the injection quantity enable a significant reduction in emissions while at the same time low fuel consumption when used in the internal combustion engine. From DE 198 35 494 C2 a pump-nozzle device is known with a pump and a valve with a valve member, which controls the hydraulic coupling of a control chamber with an outlet channel.
- the drain channel is hydraulically coupled to the pump and a nozzle unit.
- An inlet channel is provided, which is hydraulically coupled to the control chamber.
- a piezoelectric valve drive is assigned to the valve member, via which the valve member can be adjusted between two end positions. In a first end position of the valve member, the drain channel is hydraulically coupled to a control chamber and this, in turn, to the feed channel. In a second end position of the valve member, the drain channel is hydraulically decoupled from the control chamber and the valve member is in a valve seat of the valve.
- valve member In the first end position of the valve member, fluid is sucked in by the pump from the inlet channel via the control chamber and the outlet channel during a delivery stroke of the pump.
- a working stroke of a pump piston of the pump in the first end position of the valve member, fluid is pushed back by the pump via the inlet channel and the control chamber into the outlet channel.
- no fluid can be pushed back during the delivery stroke of the pump piston due to the lack of hydraulic coupling of the drain channel to the control chamber and the drain channel, and the pump piston generates high pressure.
- a nozzle needle of the nozzle unit opens a nozzle of the nozzle unit and the fluid is injected.
- the end of injection is determined by the fact that the valve member is controlled into its first end position by means of the actuator and thus fluid can flow back via the outlet channel into the control chamber and the inlet channel, with the result that the pressure in the pump and thus also decreases in the nozzle unit, which in turn leads to the nozzle unit being closed.
- a precise metering of fuel by the pump-nozzle device requires a very precise controllability of the valve.
- a method for controlling an injection valve with a piezoelectric actuator in which when the valve is opened and closed the piezoelectric actuator is initially reloaded with a first partial charge with a maximum gradient and thus carries out a partial stroke. After a transfer pause with a predetermined period of time, the piezoelectric actuator is then charged in the same direction with a second partial charge on the final stroke, the slope for the second partial charge being smaller than the maximum slope of the first partial stroke.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for controlling a valve or a pump-nozzle device with the valve, which ensures precise control of the valve.
- the invention is characterized by a method for controlling a valve with a valve drive, which is designed as a piezo actuator, with a valve member, a valve body and a valve seat.
- a valve drive which is designed as a piezo actuator
- the valve member is moved from a position in contact with the valve seat to a predetermined position away from the valve seat.
- controls by discharging the piezo actuator.
- the discharge process is divided into a first discharge time during which a predetermined first amount of electrical energy is dissipated by the piezo actuator, a subsequent hold time during which the piezo actuator is not activated, and a subsequent second discharge time during which a predetermined second amount of electrical energy is discharged is discharged to the piezo actuator.
- the holding period and / or the first discharge period is adapted.
- pressure fluctuations can easily be strongly damped, even under various operating conditions of the valve, which arise from the release of the valve seat in a fluid that flows through the valve.
- noise emissions can also be easily reduced.
- the size is preferably the amount of energy that is removed or supplied to the piezo actuator, or the voltage that drops at the piezo actuator, or the current that flows through the piezo actuator, or the charge stored in it.
- the invention is further characterized by a method for controlling the valve, in which, at a predeterminable point in time, the valve member is controlled from a predetermined position away from the valve seat into the valve seat by a charging process of the piezo actuator.
- the charging process is divided into a first charging time during which a predetermined first amount of electrical energy is supplied to the piezo actuator, a subsequent holding time during which the piezo actuator is not activated, and a subsequent second charging time during which a predetermined second amount of electrical energy is supplied to the piezo actuator , From- depending on the course of a variable that is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding period, the holding period and / or the first charging period is adapted. This also makes it easy to reduce bouncing when striking, even under different operating conditions of the valve.
- the methods are preferably also used to control a pump-nozzle device.
- the holding period and / or the first discharging period or the first charging period is adapted depending on an amplitude and / or the period of the course of the variable, which is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding period. This is particularly easy.
- the holding period is adapted depending on the period of the course of the variable, which is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding period.
- the holding period can thus be easily adjusted to a specific section of one or more oscillations of the size which is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding period, e.g. to a half-wave of size.
- the first discharge time period or the first charge time period is adapted depending on the amplitude of the course of the variable, which is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding time period.
- This has the advantage that the amplitude of the course of the size is particularly characteristic of a possible occurrence of bouncing or pressure vibrations of the fluid.
- the sum of the first charging time and the holding time is limited to a maximum value with regard to the charging process, at which it is ensured that the valve member is not yet in contact with the valve seat.
- the method can be used particularly advantageously for controlling a pump-nozzle device if the first discharge time is limited to a minimum value at which it is ensured that a nozzle needle of the nozzle unit of the pump-nozzle device closes a nozzle via which the fuel is measured. Since the nozzle needle in the pump-nozzle device is hydraulically coupled to the valve via an outlet channel, it can thus be ensured that a fuel-conveying end is not influenced.

- FIG. 3 shows a flow chart of a program for controlling the pump nozzle Device
- FIG. 4 shows a further flowchart of a program for controlling the pump-nozzle device.

- the pump nozzle device is preferably used for supplying fuel into the combustion chamber of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine.
- the internal combustion engine is preferably designed as a diesel internal combustion engine.
- the internal combustion engine has an intake tract for the intake of air, which can be coupled to cylinders by means of gas inlet valves.
- the internal combustion engine also has an exhaust gas tract which, controlled by the exhaust valve, removes the gases to be expelled from the cylinders.
- the cylinders are each assigned pistons, each of which is coupled to a crankshaft via a connecting rod.
- the crankshaft is coupled to a camshaft.
- the pump unit comprises a piston 11, a pump body 12, a working space 13 and a pump return means 14, which is preferably designed as a spring.
- the piston 11 is in the installed state in an internal combustion engine with a Camshaft 16 coupled, preferably by means of a rocker arm, and is driven by this.
- the piston 11 is guided in a recess of the pump body 12 and, depending on its position, determines the volume of the working space 13.
- the pump return means 14 is designed and arranged such that the volume of the working space 13 delimited by the piston 11 has a maximum value if no external forces act on the piston 11, ie forces which are transmitted via the coupling to the camshaft 16.
- the nozzle unit comprises a nozzle body 51, in which a nozzle return means 52, which is designed as a spring and possibly also as a damping unit, and a nozzle needle 53 are arranged.
- the nozzle needle 53 is arranged in a recess in the nozzle body 51 and is guided in the region of a needle guide 55.
- the nozzle needle 53 bears against a needle seat 54 and thus closes a nozzle 56 which is provided for supplying the fuel into the combustion chamber of the cylinder of the internal combustion engine.
- the nozzle unit is preferably designed as an inwardly opening nozzle unit.
- the nozzle needle 53 is arranged at a slight distance from the needle seat 54, specifically in the direction of the nozzle return means 52, and thus releases the nozzle 56.
- fuel is metered into the combustion chamber of the cylinder of the internal combustion engine.
- the first or second state is assumed as a function of a balance of forces from the force which acts on the nozzle needle 53 through the nozzle restoring means 52 and from the latter counteracting force, which is caused by the hydraulic pressure in the region of the needle heel 57.
- the control unit comprises an inlet channel 21 and an outlet channel 22.
- the inlet channel 21 and the outlet channel 22 can be hydraulically coupled by means of a valve.
- the drain channel 21 leads from a low-pressure side connection of the pump nozzle device to the valve.
- the valve comprises a valve member 231, which is preferably designed as a so-called A valve, i. H. it opens outwards against the direction of flow of the fluid.
- the valve further comprises a control chamber 232, which is hydraulically coupled to the inlet channel 21 and can be hydraulically coupled to a high-pressure chamber by means of the valve member 231.
- the high-pressure chamber is hydraulically coupled to the drain channel 22.
- valve return means is provided, which is arranged and designed such that it presses the valve member 231 into an open position, ie at a distance from the valve seat 234, when the forces acting on the valve member by an actuator 24 are less than the forces caused by the Valve return means act on the valve member 231.
- the valve return means is preferably a spring.
- the actuator 24 is designed as a piezo actuator with a piezo stack.
- the actuator 24 is preferably coupled to the valve member 231 by means of a transformer, which preferably increases the stroke of the actuator 24.
- a connector for receiving electrical contacts to control the actuator 24 is preferably also provided on the actuator 24.
- a device 60 for controlling the pump-nozzle device is provided, which generates corresponding control signals for the valve.
- valve member 231 when the valve member 231 is controlled into its closed position during the downward movement of the piston 11, the fuel in the working chamber 13 and thus also in the outlet channel 22 and in the high-pressure chamber 233 is compressed, as a result of which the pressure increases with the downward movement of the piston 11 in Working space 13, in the high pressure space 233 and in the drain channel 22 increases.
- the force caused by the hydraulic pressure also increases, which acts on the needle shoulder 57 in the direction of an opening movement of the nozzle needle 53 to release the nozzle 56.
- the nozzle needle 53 moves away from the needle seat 54 and thus releases the nozzle 56 for the fuel supply to the cylinder of the internal combustion engine.
- the nozzle needle 53 then moves back into the needle seat 54 and thus closes the nozzle 56 when the hydraulic pressure in the outlet channel 22 falls below the value at which the force caused by the hydraulic pressure at the needle shoulder 57 is smaller than that caused by the nozzle return means 52 Force.
- the point in time at which this value falls below and at which the fuel metering is ended can be influenced by controlling the valve member 231 from its closed position to an open position.
- the hydraulic coupling between the high pressure chamber and the control chamber 232 and the inlet channel 21 is established. Due to the high pressure difference between the fluid in the high-pressure chamber and the drain channel 22 and the fluid in the control chamber 232 and the inlet channel 21, the fuel then flows from the high-pressure chamber into the control chamber 232 at a very high speed, usually at the speed of sound and further into the inlet channel 21. As a result, the pressure in the high-pressure chamber and the outlet channel 22 is then rapidly reduced to such an extent that the forces acting on the nozzle needle 53 from the nozzle restoring means 52 cause the nozzle needle 53 to move into the needle seat 54 and thus the nozzle 56 then closes.
- FIG. 2a shows the course of the actual values V_AV of the voltage drop on the piezo actuator plotted over time t.
- Figure 2b shows the stroke CTRL_VL of the valve member 231 plotted over time t and
- Figure 2c shows the course of the speed CTRL_VL_V of the stroke of the valve member 231.
- a first amount of electrical energy is supplied to the piezo actuator during a first charging period T1, which is completed at a time t2. Following the time t2, no electrical energy is supplied to the piezo actuator for a holding time period T2 that has ended at a time t3.
- a second predetermined amount of electrical energy is supplied to the piezo actuator for a second charging time period T3, to be precise distributed over the second charging time period T3, which ended at a point in time t4. From a time t3 ', the valve member 231 is in contact with the valve seat 234.
- a discharge process of the piezo actuator is controlled, which is also explained in more detail below.
- the piezo actuator is discharged with a predetermined first amount of energy for a first discharge period T4, namely up to a time t6.
- the piezo actuator is not further discharged for a predetermined holding period T5, namely up to a time t7.
- the piezo actuator is further discharged for a second discharge period T6, in which a predetermined second amount of electrical energy is dissipated.
- the unloading process is then completed at a time t8.
- the valve member 231 is then again in its predetermined position away from the valve seat 234.
- the control of the charging process is described below with reference to the flow diagram of FIG. 3, which is stored in the form of a program in the device for controlling the pump-nozzle device and is loaded and processed during operation.
- the program is started in a step S1, in which variables are initialized if necessary.
- the first charging time period T1, the second charging time period T3 and the holding time period T2 are read.
- the values of the first and second charging time periods T1, T3 and the holding time period T2 can be fixed in step S2 or saved at the end of a previous run of the program or determined in some other way.
- a setpoint EGY_SP of an energy to be supplied to the piezo actuator during the charging process is then determined as a function of a rotational speed N of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, the time t1, and a fuel temperature T_F.
- a step S6 it is checked whether the current time t is equal to the time t1. If this is not the case, the program remains in a step S8 for a predetermined waiting period T_W.
- the predefined waiting period T_W is chosen to be sufficiently short that a subsequent re-examination of the condition of step S6 ensures that the current time t is at most equal to or only slightly greater than the time t1.
- step S6 the supply of a first electrical energy is carried out in a step S10. quantity to the piezo actuator started.
- a first amount of energy is supplied to the piezo actuator, namely in accordance with the setpoint EGY_SP of the amount of energy to be supplied in proportion to the ratio of the first charging time period T1 to the sum of the first charging time period T1 and the second charging time period T3.
- the electrical energy is supplied by appropriately energizing the piezo actuator.
- step S12 it is then checked whether the current time t is equal to or greater than the sum of the time tl and the first charging time period Tl.
- step S16 the program remains in step S16 for the predetermined waiting time period T_W before the Condition of step S12 is checked again. If, on the other hand, the condition of step S12 is met, a pause in the charging process is controlled in step S16, specifically for the holding time period T2.
- the voltage that drops across the piezo actuator and that is recorded in a subsequent step S18 as actual values V_AV of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator has a characteristic oscillation curve that is caused by the excitation of a spring mass oscillator that is caused by the piezo actuator, the valve member 231 and the resetting means is formed, the excitation being caused by the charging process during the first charging time period T1.
- step S20 it is then checked whether the current time t is greater than or equal to the time t1 and the sum of the first charging time period Tl and the holding time period T2. If the condition of step S20 is not met, the program remains in step S22 for the predetermined waiting period T_W before a further actual value V_AV of the voltage drop via the piezo actuator is detected in step S18 becomes.
- the actual values V_AV of the voltage drop across the piezo actuator recorded in step S18 are buffered for later processing.
- step S20 If, on the other hand, the condition of step S20 is fulfilled, the charging process is continued in a step S24 and, during the subsequent processing of steps S26 to S28, the piezo actuator is supplied with a predetermined second amount of electrical energy which corresponds to the fraction of the first setpoint EGY_SP of the electrical energy to be supplied, which corresponds to the share of the second charging time period T3 in the sum of the first and second charging time periods T1, T3.
- step S26 it is checked in a step S26 whether the current time t is greater than or equal to the time t1 and the sum of the first and second charging time periods T1, T3 and the holding time period T2. If the condition of step S26 is not met, the program remains in step S28 for the predetermined waiting period T_W before the condition of step S26 is checked again.
- step S30 an actual value AMP_AV of the amplitude of the course of the actual values V_AV of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator, which were determined during the holding period T2, is determined in a step S30.
- a correction value D_T1 is then determined as a function of the actual value AMP_AV and a setpoint AMP_SP of the amplitude.
- the setpoint AMP_SP of the amplitude is preferably a fixed, predetermined value or a value which is determined in advance, preferably by tests, depending on the operating parameters of the valve or the pump-nozzle device in such a way that when the actual value AMP_AV of the amplitude deviates as little as possible from the target value AMP_SP of the amplitude, the bouncing of the valve member 231 is reduced in the desired manner when it hits the valve seat 234.
- the correction value D_T1 of the first charging time period T1 is preferably determined by means of a controller which preferably has P or PI behavior.
- a corrected first charging time period T1 is then determined as a function of the charging time period T1 and the correction value D_T1 of the first charging time period.
- an actual value PER_AV of the period of the oscillation of the course of the actual values V_AV of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator is determined during the holding period T2.
- a correction value D_T2 of the holding period is determined as a function of the actual value PER_AV of the period and a target value PER_SP of the period.
- the setpoint PER_SP of the period like the setpoint AMP_SP of the amplitude, is selected such that when the actual value PER_AV approaches the setpoint PER_SP of the period, the bouncing of the valve member is reduced in the desired manner.
- a corrected holding period T2 is then determined as a function of the holding period T2 and the correction value D_T2 of the holding period.
- a step S42 it is then checked whether the first charging time period T1 in total with the holding time period T2 is greater than a maximum value T_MAX, the corrected time periods T1 and T2 being respectively processed when step S42 is processed are relevant. If this is the case, the first charging time period T1 is limited in step S42 in such a way that the sum of the first charging time period T1 and the holding time period T2 is not greater than the maximum value T_MAX.
- a step S44 the second charging time period T3 is changed in the opposite direction to the first charging time period T1, so that the sum of the first and second charging time periods T1, T3 remains unchanged.
- step S4 The processing of the program is then continued again in step S4 if a new loading process is to be controlled.
- step S18 a variable other than that of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator can be detected, which is characteristic of the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding period T2. This is, for example, the electrical energy stored in the piezo actuator, the current flow through the piezo actuator or the electrical charge located in the piezo actuator.
- step S30 only the maximum and minimum value of the actual values V_AV recorded in step S18 can be determined in step S30 and then the correction value D__T1 of the first charging time period T1, in a correspondingly adapted step S32, depending on the maximum and minimum Value and corresponding reference values can be determined.
- a program for controlling a discharge process of the piezo actuator is described below with reference to the flow chart in FIG.
- the steps of the program according to FIG. 4 are essentially analogous to the steps of the program of FIG. 3 and only the differences are explained below.
- the program is started in a step S1 '.
- values of the first discharge time period T4, the holding time period T5 and the second discharge time period T6 are read in, which are simply predefined or can be predefined as a function of the operating parameters of the valve or have been stored during a previous program run.
- a setpoint EGY_SP of the electrical energy is determined, which is to be taken from the piezo actuator during the discharge process. This takes place depending on the engine speed N, the time t1, the time t5 and preferably depending on the fuel temperature T_F.
- a step S6 1 it is checked whether the current time t is greater than the time t5, if this is the case, then in a step S10 'the discharge process is started and a first amount of electrical energy is withdrawn from the piezo actuator, which is the fraction of the target value EGY_SP corresponds to the electrical energy which is to be taken from the piezo actuator in accordance with the ratio of the first discharge period T4 and the sum of the first discharge period T4 and the second discharge period T6.
- the piezo actuator is subsequently discharged accordingly during the further processing of steps S12 'and S16' until in step S16 1 there is a pause in the discharging process, specifically for the predetermined holding period T5.
- step S18 ' in accordance with step S18, actual values V_AV of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator are recorded.
- step S20 ' it is checked whether the current time is greater than or equal to the time t5 and the sum of the first discharge time period T4 and the holding time period T5.
- step S20 If the condition of step S20 'is met, the discharge process is continued in a step S24', specifically for the second discharge time period T6, a total of a second predetermined amount of electrical energy being taken from the piezo actuator during the subsequent processing of steps S26 'and S28', the value of which corresponds to the fraction of the target value EGY_SP of the electrical energy which is to be taken from the piezo actuator, corresponding to the proportion of the second discharge time period T6 in the sum of the first and second charge time periods T4, T6.
- Step S30 1 corresponds to step S30.
- a correction value D_T4 of the first discharge time period T4 is then determined as a function of the actual value AMP_AV and a setpoint AMP_SP of the amplitude of the oscillation of the course of the actual values V_AV of the voltage drop at the piezo actuator. This is done analogously to step S32 in such a way that pressure vibrations and noise emissions of the pump-nozzle device are strongly damped in the desired manner.
- a corrected first discharge time period T4 is then determined as a function of the first discharge time period T4 and the correction value D_T4 of the first discharge time period T4.
- Step S36 1 then corresponds to step S36.
- a correction value D_T5 of the holding period T5 is then determined as a function of the actual value PER_AV of the period and the target value PER_SP of the period.
- the setpoint PER_SP of the period is specified so that the desired damping of pressure fluctuations and noise emissions when the actual value PER_AV approaches the target value PER_SP of the period in the pump-nozzle device.
- the holding period T5 is then corrected as a function of the holding period T5 and the correction D_T5 of the holding period.
- a subsequent step S42 ' it is then checked whether the first discharge time period T4 is less than a minimum value T_MIN, which is preferably determined as a function of the rotational speed N, the time t1, the time t5 and the fuel temperature T_F. If the first discharge time period T4 is less than the minimum value T_MIN, the first discharge time period T4 is set equal to the minimum value T_MIN. This ensures that during a subsequent processing of steps S2 'to S42', the end of delivery of the pump-nozzle device, ie the closing of the nozzle needle 53, is not influenced by the interruption of the unloading process following the first unloading period T4. Step S42 'can be omitted if correspondingly higher-level control functions of the pump-nozzle device, which determine the desired times t1 and t5, are adapted accordingly.
- T_MIN preferably determined as a function of the rotational speed N, the time t1, the time t5 and the fuel temperature T_F.
- a step S44 x the second charging time period T6 is changed opposite to the first charging time period T4, so that the sum of the first and second charging time periods T4, T6 remains unchanged.
- a correction value D_T1 for the first charging time period T1 or a correction value D_T2 for the holding time T2 is determined from the actual value AMP_AV or PER_AV and the associated setpoint AMP_SP or PER_SP.
- the actual values AMP_AV and PER_AV are preferably ascertained for each charging process and each unloading process.
- the correction values D_T1, D_T2 are determined with each charging process and the correction values D_T4 and D_T5 with each unloading process.
- the correction values D_T1, D__T2, D_T4 and D_T5 are determined not only as a function of the last actual value AMP_AV or PER_AV, but in each case as a function of a plurality of actual values AMP_AV or PER_AV determined in the case of previous charging or discharging processes.
- Each of the four control loops can then have I, PI, ID or PID characteristics, for example.
- control loops can also be advantageous.
- any linear or non-linear combinations or functions thereof can also be used as control variables.
- Each of these control variables, which relates to the charging process can be combined with any manipulated variable of the charging process (first charging time period T1, holding time period T2).
- each of the control variables mentioned, which relates to the unloading process can be combined with any manipulated variable of the unloading process (first unloading period T4, holding period T5).
- any other values determined from the actual values V_AV acquired during the holding period T2 or T5 can be used as control variables.
- further control variables which, like AMP_AV and PER_AV, characterize the vibration behavior of the piezo actuator, are the maximum slope dV_AV / dt during the holding period T2 or T5, and the maximum amount of the gradient during the holding period T2 or T5 dV_AV / dt
- the present invention is used in a pump-nozzle injection device for an internal combustion engine, depending on the mechanical design of the injection device, in particular at higher and higher engine speeds, a regime can be achieved in which the control valve needle no longer fully reaches the valve seat, ie not more completely closes because the injection pulses become very short.
- This regime is called the ballistic regime.
- the holding times T2, T5 can be reduced with increasing speed and disappear at high speeds. Under these conditions it can be advantageous to carry out the control described only at speeds close to the idling speed. At higher speeds, the manipulated variable is then simply recorded.
- the first charging time period T1, the holding time period T2, the first discharging time period T4 or the holding time period T5, is advantageous not to use as a manipulated variable, but a parameter (for example, an off -set), which goes into the calculation of the same, further operating parameters such as the current speed, the fuel temperature etc. being included in the calculation.
- a parameter for example, an off -set
