Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a fuel pump to supply fuel from a fuel tank of an internal combustion engine, in which the fuel pump electrical energy is supplied in pulse form and the duty cycle in dependence on the fuel demand on the internal combustion engine regel.wird.
- Such controlled fuel pumps are used in particular in fuel tanks of motor vehicles.
- a depending on the fuel demand electronically controlled fuel pump is from the DE 43 02 383 A1 known.
- the fuel pump is supplied with pulsed electrical energy, wherein the duty cycle is changed as a direct function of a position output signal of an air mass sensor, wherein the sensor generates the signal as a function of the position of a throttle valve whose position is a measure of the fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine.
- This method of regulated pulsed delivery of electrical energy is also known as pulse width modulation.
- electric motors are made of magnetic or magnetically conductive material, which may have magnetostriction effects. In addition, they contain current-carrying electrical conductors in magnetic fields, which experience a force corresponding to the electric current.
- the power loss of power switching transistors of a corresponding control electronics is composed of control and switching losses. While the conduction losses are determined by the voltage drop across the component and the current, the switching losses are determined by the number of switching operations per unit time and the switched current. Depending on the operating parameters of the system to be controlled, the switching losses can significantly exceed the conduction losses. Another disadvantage is that the power loss leads to an increase in temperature of the switching electronics, which is reflected in a reduction in the life of the switching electronics.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method for operating a fuel pump, on the one hand avoids disturbing noise for the user and on the other hand, the power loss of the control electronics is reduced.
- the object is achieved in that the frequency of the pulses is controlled such that at low flow rate of the fuel pump, the frequency is set higher than at higher flow rate.
- the delivery rate of the fuel pump is regulated by a pulse width modulation of the electrical energy supply to the fuel pump
- the operation of the fuel pump allows with different frequencies of the pulsed energy supply, an adaptation of the fuel pump to different environmental conditions.
- Operating the fuel pump with a high frequency pulse width modulation at low flow rate causes the fuel pump runs very quietly in this operating condition, since it emits little structure-borne noise due to magnetic effects. This is particularly desirable when the low flow rate of the fuel pump with a low speed of the motor vehicle is accompanied, since due to the low driving speed and the driving noise are low, so that loud noises of the fuel pump are perceived disturbing.
- the fuel pump can therefore be operated with a lower frequency of the pulse width modulation. As a result, due to the smaller number of switching operations per unit time, the switching losses for the pulse width modulation are minimized. As a result, the temperature load on the control electronics is reduced as a result of the frequency reduction, which positively affects the life of the control electronics.
- the method has the additional advantage that it is not only related to a specific system, but can be used for fuel systems with fuel pumps of different performance classes and mechanical or electronic commutation.
- a low delivery rate of the fuel pump is less than 40% duty cycle of the operating voltage according to this method, preferably less than 30% duty cycle of the operating voltage of the fuel pump.
- a frequency for the pulse width modulation of at least 10 kHz, preferably at least 20 kHz, has proven to be advantageous. At these frequencies, the electromagnetic or magnetostrictive generation of audible structure-borne noise in the fuel pump is largely avoided, so that the fuel pump can be operated so quietly that the noise generated in this way can not be acoustically perceived even in relatively quiet environment.
- the method allows a reduction in the frequency of the pulse width modulation at a higher flow rate to 50 Hz to 10 kHz, preferably in the range of 1 kHz, being considered as a higher flow rate already 40% duty cycle of the operating voltage of the fuel pump.
- the change in frequency can be done easily in a simple manner.
- the frequency is changed abruptly or stepwise in a change between lower and higher flow rate of the fuel pump.
- a particularly simple control of the frequency is given if the frequency is changed depending on the current. Due to the load dependency of the flow of the fuel pump, the current is a good controlled variable.
- load changes can occur in very short time intervals. For a current-dependent frequency control, this can be just as frequent frequency changes to lead. To avoid such rapid frequency changes has proven to be advantageous to make the rate of change of the frequency control integral current-dependent by at least one integral controller is provided. In particular, fast current changes are defused by the integral controller, since the frequency change is slower than the current change. Another, also suitable control of the frequency can be done by evaluating the temperature of the control electronics. Depending on the measured temperature of particularly critical components, the frequency is changed. As a result, the integrator can be saved because the temperature represents the integration of past current loads and is the critical parameter for the control electronics.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of the fuel tank 1 of a motor vehicle, not shown.
- a fuel pump 2 is arranged, which promotes fuel from the fuel tank 1 via a flow line 3 to an internal combustion engine 4 of the motor vehicle.
- the control electronics 6 comprises a pulse generator 7, which supplies the power for the fuel pump 2 in the form of pulses of the fuel pump 2.
- the pulses are supplied with constant amplitude, wherein the pulse width is a measure of the supplied electrical energy.
- the control electronics 6 is in the illustration shown outside of the fuel tank 1, for example, as part of the engine control arranged.
- control electronics 6 on or in the fuel tank 1, for example on a flange or in the fuel pump 2.
- control electronics 6 comprises an integral controller 8, which makes frequency changes slower than the current changes, in particular during rapid load changes to the internal combustion engine 4.
- the diagram in FIG. 2 shows in the area I the current pulses generated by the pulse generator 7 at a signal 5, which corresponds to a full load operation, ie, the internal combustion engine is operated with approximately maximum fuel consumption.
- the pulses are clocked at a relatively low frequency of 1 kHz.
- the noise of the internal combustion engine and the corresponding driving noise is relatively loud, so that possibly generated at this frequency by magnetostriction or magnetic forces noise of the fuel pump can not be perceived.
- Area II shows the operation of the internal combustion engine with about 60% power.
- the pulse width of the pulses is correspondingly shorter, but the frequency of the pulses is equal to that in the region I. Also in this operation of the internal combustion engine, the noise of the internal combustion engine louder than the noise of the fuel pump, so that even in this power range of the internal combustion engine, the pulses Frequency of 1 kHz can be clocked without the noise of the fuel pump are perceived.
- the area III shows the operation of the internal combustion engine in the lower power range, which corresponds for example to idling or driving at low speeds.
- the noise of the internal combustion engine and the driving noise are much lower than in a driving behavior according to area I or II.
- the pulses are therefore generated by the pulse generator with a frequency of 20 kHz. This frequency is so high that in the fuel pump no noise in the human hearing are generated, so that no noise from the fuel pump are perceived even in this operation of the internal combustion engine.
