Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor with a fuel pump for supplying an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle with fuel and with a device for supplying the fuel pump with electric current.
  • Such conveyors are often used in today's vehicles and are therefore known.
  • Today's fuel pumps see zBdie EP 0,735,260 A2
  • demand will be regulated according to the demand for fuel of the internal combustion engine.
  • the means for supplying the fuel pump with electric current provides a designated current and a voltage provided, optionally in an appropriate timing to the fuel pump.
  • fuel pumps are subject to natural wear over their lifetime and can also become dirty. This reduces the efficiency of the fuel pump, which results in an increase in the electrical power consumption at the same hydraulic power output of the fuel pump.
  • a particularly powerful fuel pump is used.
  • a power dip of the internal combustion engine is avoided after wear or contamination of the fuel pump.
  • the use of the particularly powerful fuel pump has the disadvantage that the conveyor thereby has very large dimensions and is expensive and thereby increases the power consumption.
  • the invention is based on the problem, a conveyor of the type mentioned in such a way that the use of a particularly powerful fuel pump can be avoided.
  • the conveyor according to the invention does not require a particularly powerful fuel pump.
  • Another advantage of the conveyor according to the invention is that, for example, in a power dip of the internal combustion engine, the error can be limited in a particularly simple manner. Thanks to the monitoring device can be determined whether the cause of the power dip can be, for example, in the pollution and / or wear of the fuel pump.
  • the conveyor according to the invention is structurally particularly simple if the monitoring device is arranged in a control unit supplying the fuel pump with electric current. In addition, the conveyor according to the invention thereby has a particularly small number of components.
  • the comparison between the power consumption and the delivered Hydraulic power easily determine when the controller is connected to a fuel-determining engine control unit of the internal combustion engine. Since the engine control unit in any case determines the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine, it can transmit this demand to the control unit supplying the fuel pump with electric current. The controller then supplies the fuel pump with sufficient current and voltage until the demand demanded by the engine control unit is met.
  • the comparison of the currently supplied current or voltage with corresponding values of the new condition of the fuel pump is a measure of the actual wear of the fuel pump.
  • the current wear or contamination of the fuel pump can be determined according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention in each operating state of the fuel pump when the controller has a memory for a fuel pump characteristic of the power consumption of the fuel pump in response to the need to promote fuel to the internal combustion engine ,
  • the determination of the current wear of the fuel pump requires according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention, a particularly low construction costs, if the control unit is designed to determine the deviation of the required for the required fuel demand power consumption of the fuel pump from the stored fuel pump characteristic.
  • This design allows the detection of wear or contamination of the fuel pump before the need for fuel of the engine at full load by the fuel pump can no longer be met.
  • the determined deviation of the current power consumption with the stored fuel pump characteristic is preferably stored and can be read out as part of an engine test.
  • the assembly of the conveyor according to the invention is particularly simple when the control unit is disposed within the conveyor, preferably in a flange to be inserted into the fuel tank.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a conveyor 1 for supplying an internal combustion engine 2 of a motor vehicle with fuel from a fuel tank 3.
  • the conveyor 1 has a arranged in a swirl pot 4 fuel pump 5.
  • the swirl pot 4 is biased against the bottom of the fuel tank 3.
  • the fuel pump 5 delivers the fuel from the swirl pot 4 via a flow line 6 to the internal combustion engine 2.
  • An engine control unit 7 determines depending on the operating condition of the motor vehicle, the need of the internal combustion engine 2 to fuel and with a fuel pump 5 with electric Power supplying control unit 8 connected.
  • the control unit 8 has a memory 9 for a fuel pump characteristic.
  • the fuel pump characteristic indicates what power consumption the fuel pump 5 has in the amount of fuel to be delivered.
  • the control unit 8 determines the required voltage or the required current for the fuel pump 5 from the fuel pump characteristic. Furthermore, the control unit 8 has a monitoring device 10, with which is compared the power consumption of the fuel pump 5 is sufficient to promote the required amount of fuel.
  • the control unit 8 is also connected to a diagnostic display 11, which has, for example, a control lamp on a dashboard of the motor vehicle, and to a diagnostic socket 12.
  • the diagnostic socket 12 can be used to read out the values of the monitoring device 10 and the state of wear or fouling state of the fuel pump 5 with a corresponding diagnostic device, not shown.
  • control unit 8 may be arranged in a flange 13 to be inserted into the fuel tank 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows a flowchart for driving and monitoring of the fuel pump 5 from FIG. 1 .
  • the engine control unit 7 determines the fuel demand of the internal combustion engine 2 and transmits the fuel demand to the control unit 8.
  • the control unit 8 determines the power consumption of the fuel pump 5 in a step S2 based on a stored or learned fuel pump characteristic and the fuel demand and supplies the Fuel pump 5 according to the intended power consumption with electrical current, the electrical voltage or current pulses.
  • a step S3 it is detected whether the demand of the internal combustion engine 2 is covered by fuel. If so, the controller 8 waits for a change in the request of the engine control unit 7.
  • the supply of the fuel pump 5 is increased with electric current in a step S4.
  • the deviation of the power consumption of the fuel pump 5 from the fuel pump characteristic is determined by the monitoring device 10 in a step S5.
  • the determined deviation is a measure of the wear or the contamination of the fuel pump 5.
