Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for controlling a valve. It further relates to a method and apparatus for controlling a pump-nozzle device with a valve.
  • the valve has a valve drive, which is designed as a piezoelectric actuator, a valve member, a valve body and a valve seat.
  • a pump-nozzle device is used in particular for supplying fuel into 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.
  • the drive of a piston of the pump is preferably via a camshaft of an internal combustion engine by means of a rocker arm.
  • the pump can be hydraulically coupled via the valve to a low-pressure fuel supply device. It is hydraulically coupled on the output side with the nozzle unit. Start of injection and injection quantity are determined by the valve and its valve drive. Due to the compact design of the pump-nozzle device results in a very low volume of high pressure and high hydraulic stiffness. 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 allow a significant reduction in emissions while low fuel consumption when using the internal combustion engine.
  • a pump-nozzle device comprising a pump and a valve having a valve member which controls the hydraulic coupling of a spill space to a drain passage.

  • An inlet channel is provided, which is hydraulically coupled to the Abberichtraum.
  • the valve member is associated with a piezoelectric valve drive, via which the valve member can be adjusted between two end positions. In a first end position of the valve member of the flow channel is hydraulically coupled to a Ab tenuraum and this in turn with the inlet channel. In a second end position of the valve member, the flow channel is hydraulically-decoupled from the Abberichtraum and the valve member is in a valve seat of the valve.
  • the end of injection is determined by controlling the valve member to its first end position by means of the actuator and thus allowing fluid to flow back into the discharge chamber and the inlet channel via the discharge channel, with the result that the pressure in the pump and thus also in the nozzle unit decreases, which in turn leads to a closing of the nozzle unit.
  • WO 03/081007 A1 a method and a device for detecting the impact time of a valve needle of a piezo control valve is known.
  • the piezo control valve is used in a pump-nozzle unit for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine.
  • the point of impact of the valve needle of the piezo control valve of the pump-nozzle unit is determined by evaluating the piezo voltage and / or the piezoelectric current.
  • WO 03/104633 A1 a method and a device for measuring and controlling the closing and opening time of a piezo control valve, in which the time duration is measured, which requires a valve needle of a control valve of a piezo pump nozzle unit to move from a first end position to a second end position, wherein the response time of the control valve is taken into account.
  • the time duration is determined as a function of the voltage applied to the control valve and / or the applied current.
  • an actuating signal is generated, which is used for moving the control valve from the first to the second end position, wherein the actuating signal is generated at a time at which it is ensured that the pressure in the control valve and in the injection nozzle during the measurement largely the pressure corresponds to the fuel low pressure range.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for controlling a valve, which ensures that the valve switches precisely over a long period of operation. It is another object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for controlling a pump-nozzle device with the valve that ensures that the valve shifts precisely over a long period of operation.
  • the invention is characterized by a method and a corresponding device for controlling a valve with a valve drive, which is designed as a piezoelectric actuator, with a valve member, a valve body and a valve seat, wherein at a first predetermined time, the valve member from a position away from the valve seat is controlled in the valve seat by means of a charging operation of the piezoelectric actuator, in which a first value is determined, which is characteristic of the piezoelectric actuator supplied electrical energy upon impact of the valve member on the valve seat, in which a second value is determined, which is characteristic of the piezoelectric actuator supplied electrical energy at the completion of the charging of the piezoelectric actuator.
  • a difference actual value is determined from the difference of the second and first value.
  • a difference of a differential setpoint which can be predetermined, and the difference actual value is fed to a controller and a control signal for charging the piezoelectric actuator is determined depending on the manipulated variable of the controller.
  • the invention is characterized by a method and a corresponding device for controlling a pump-nozzle device with a pump having a piston and a working space, a control unit having a drainage channel which is hydraulically coupled to the working space, and the valve comprises and comprises a Abêtraum which is hydraulically decoupled from the drainage channel when the valve member abuts the valve seat, and which is otherwise hydraulically coupled to the drainage channel.

  • the invention is characterized in that the valve seat force, with which the valve member is pressed by the valve drive in the valve seat, when it is in contact with the valve seat, is very accurate and very reproducible adjustable.
  • the valve seat force is critical to the tightness of the valve when the valve member is in contact with the valve seat.
  • the mechanical stress of the valve member and the valve seat can be selectively reduced over a long period of operation of the valve and at the same time ensure that over this long period of operation, the valve seat force is constant. It can also be easily minimized tolerances during closing and opening of the valve. In connection with the pump-nozzle device can thus be adjusted very precisely over a long period of operation, the start of delivery and in particular the delivery end of the fuel.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the first value depends significantly on a force which is caused by the pressure of the fluid acting on the valve member and a force of a regularly existing return means and that the second value significantly depends on a valve seat force and in addition to the force that is caused by the pressure of the fluid acting on the valve member, and the force of the return means. Furthermore, the invention is based on the recognition that the difference actual value significantly depends on the valve seat force, ie the force exerted by the valve member on the valve seat of the valve body. The method or devices according to the invention can thus be used to precisely determine a value which is characteristic of the valve seat force and which is the difference actual value.
