Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the estimation of the pressure prevailing in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.
  • the intake pressure is important for engine performance policies. It can still be used for the diagnosis of a good operation of a turbo-compressor, if the internal combustion engine is equipped with it.
  • the intake pressure can of course be measured by a pressure sensor installed in the engine intake manifold. It is an expensive solution.
  • FR 2,885,216 it is known by FR 2,885,216 to estimate the intake pressure from the gas flow rate in the engine from which the mass of gas in the intake circuit is calculated, and then to calculate the pressure in the intake manifold using as additional parameter the temperature of the gases flowing in this manifold.
  • the invention thus aims to provide a method and a device for estimating the intake pressure of an internal combustion engine involving only a minimum of equipment and requiring a very simple calculation of the desired value.
  • a cylinder 1 of an internal combustion engine the latter may be gasoline or diesel type and include one or more cylinders.
  • a piston 2 delimiting the combustion chamber 3, a connecting rod 4, a crankshaft 5, a gas intake manifold 6 and a device 7 for exhausting gases.
  • At least one of the cylinders of the engine is also equipped with a sensor 8 continuously measuring the angular position of the crankshaft 5 and a sensor 9 making it possible to measure the In the place of these sensors, it is also possible to provide equivalent means capable of respectively supplying the one and the other parameters.
  • the value ⁇ recorded by the sensor 8 represents the instantaneous angle of the crankshaft 5 and that p ⁇ measured by the sensor 9, the instantaneous pressure in the combustion chamber 3. They are applied to a computing device 10 which can be set up. for example, in the program of the on-board computer of the motor vehicle or in the form of an autonomous computing device.
  • the computing device 10 comprises a functional block 11 which detects a predefined value ⁇ rfa of the angular position of the crankshaft.
  • the instant corresponding to this angular position is chosen close to the closing time rfa of the intake valve (referenced 6a in the figure) during each cycle of the engine.
  • crankshaft angle which is most frequently located in the middle of the point cloud has a value of 195 degrees crankshaft (21) after the top dead center of the cylinder considered (ie 15 ° crankshaft after the bottom dead center as specified upper). It is therefore possible to choose this crank angle value for measuring the pressure in the cylinder in the context of the process according to the invention.
  • the successive predefined values ⁇ rfa determined in the functional block 11 are correlated with the pressure values p ⁇ recorded at the corresponding instants by the sensor 9, which operation is performed by the functional block 12.
  • the pressure value called p cyl rfa is very close to that of the pressure prevailing in the intake manifold 6.
  • FIG. 3 is a plot of points giving the value of the collector pressure p col as a function of the value of the pressure in the cylinder P cyl eng for a crankshaft angle of 195 ° after the top dead center of the cylinder considered. It is observed that the relation between the pressure in the cylinder P cyl eng and the collector pressure p col is almost linear.
  • the method according to the invention finally consists, during the operation of each engine concerned in operating the calculation of the pressure in the intake manifold 6, during each combustion cycle, as a function of the pressure value recorded in the combustion chamber. 3. This calculation operation is illustrated in the figure by the function block 13.
  • the method according to the invention thus makes it possible to estimate the value p col of the pressure in the intake manifold 6 of an internal combustion engine by using only very few calculation means and by means of sensors which obviously are usually provided to manage the operation of the engine. It turned out that the thus estimated neck pressure p approaches very close to the values that would be measured in situ in the intake manifold with the aid of a sensor which would be placed specially for this purpose.
  • Figure 4 is a record of 2500 points 24 representing the relative error between the collector pressure p col estimated by the method according to the invention and a measured collector pressure P mes using a pressure sensor.
  • relative error here refers to the absolute value of the difference between a measured collector pressure P mes by a pressure sensor and the estimated collector pressure p col from the cylinder pressure by means of the process of the invention, all divided by the measured collector pressure value P mes .
  • FIG. 4 shows that, with the method according to the invention, the error made with respect to a collector pressure measured with a pressure sensor is very small.
