Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a monitoring unit for determining the operational condition of an engine and a method of monitoring the operational condition of an engine.
  • the torque output of an internal combustion engine is a useful parameter which can be used for engine diagnostics, calibration and safety checks.
  • Knowledge of the torque output can also be used as a proxy measure for the fuel delivered and cylinder pressure, on the basis that a given amount of fuel combusted under a given cylinder pressure should result in predictable torque output.
  • a measured torque output can be compared to the expected torque output and used to determine injector or Engine Control Unit (ECU) errors.
  • ECU Engine Control Unit
  • a known technique for indirectly measuring the torque output of an engine involves measuring the engine speed.
  • Engine speed is not a constant, but follows an approximately sinusoidal pattern throughout successive combustion cycles. This is due to the effective spring-mass-damper system of a piston, con-rod, crankshaft and flywheel. The greater the torque, the higher the force on the piston and the larger the amplitude of the sinusoidal waveform observed.
  • an estimate of the engine torque can be derived.
  • a monitoring unit for determining the operational condition of an engine comprising a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder comprising a combustion chamber into which fuel is injected by an associated fuel injector and a crank wheel comprising a group of regularly spaced crank teeth associated with each cylinder within the engine, the unit comprising:
  • the present invention provides a monitoring unit which can determine the operational characteristic of an engine, such as the torque output of the engine or whether the engine has a fault without the use of a complex mathematical model of engine behaviour or a torque sensor, such as an engine dynamometer.
  • said one or more engine parameters includes an engine torque output value
  • determining the operational condition of the engine comprises determining the torque output of the engine in dependence on the engine torque output value associated with said best matching template.
  • said one or more engine parameters includes an average engine speed.
  • said one or more engine parameters includes fault identification information
  • said processing means is arranged to determine the operational condition of the engine by determining if an engine fault has occurred in dependence on fault identification information associated with said best matching template.
  • said fault identification information comprises one of:
  • the first and second data related to engine rotation comprises data relating to the rotation of a crank wheel within the engine.
  • the crank wheel comprises a group of regularly spaced crank teeth associated with each cylinder within the engine and the processing means is arranged to monitor the time taken for a given crank tooth to move past a crank tooth sensor and to subsequently determine the speed of the crank wheel.
  • said first and second data related to engine rotation may comprise crank tooth times for one group of crank teeth associated with a particular engine cylinder.
  • said first and second data related to engine rotation may comprise crank tooth times for each crank tooth on the crank wheel.
  • said processing means is arranged to compare said first and second data by calculating a correlation factor for each of said plurality of templates using the following equation;
  • j a crank tooth index
  • i a template number index
  • crk crank tooth time received at the input
  • temp a crank tooth time stored in a particular template
  • the processing means is arranged to determine said best matching template by selecting the template having the lowest calculated correlation factor.
  • a method of monitoring the operational condition of an engine comprising a plurality of cylinders, each cylinder comprising a combustion chamber into which fuel is injected by an associated fuel injector and a crank wheel comprising a group of regularly spaced crank teeth associated with each cylinder within the engine, the method comprising:
  • the invention also relates to a data carrier as claimed in claim 13.
  • the computer program may be arranged to configure a torque estimating unit to implement the method according to the second aspect of the invention, wherein said one or more engine parameters includes an engine torque output value, and determining the operational condition of the engine comprises determining the torque output of the engine in dependence on the engine torque output value associated with said best matching template.
  • the templates may be generated by the following steps:
  • combustion takes place within one or more combustion chambers or cylinders, each chamber being defined partly by a reciprocating piston and partly by the walls of a cylinder bore formed in a cylinder head.
  • the piston slides within the cylinder so that, when the engine is running, the volume of the combustion chamber cyclically increases and decreases.
  • TDC top dead centre
  • BDC bottom dead centre
  • the piston is connected to a cranked portion of a crankshaft by way of a connecting rod and a flywheel (or crank wheel) is mounted on one end of the crankshaft.
  • the reciprocating motion of the piston therefore corresponds to rotary motion of the crankshaft, and it is customary in the art to define the position of the piston according to the angle of the cranked portion of the crankshaft, with TDC corresponding to a crank angle of zero degrees.
  • FIG 1 illustrates a typical flywheel 2. It can be seen that the flywheel 2 comprises a number of teeth 4 on its outer periphery which are arranged in three groups 6, 8, 10. Each group 6, 8, 10 is associated with an injector (injector X, injector X+1 and injector X+2 respectively) and each group comprises 18 teeth which are regularly spaced at 6-degree intervals. In Figure 2 , the group of teeth associated with injector X are partially numbered (teeth 1, 11 and 18 are numbered).
  • Three regions 12, 14, 16 on the flywheel are not machined, i.e. have no teeth.
  • the sensor 18, which may be a variable reluctance sensor, is shown opposite tooth 11 in group 6.
  • the sensor 18 is used to detect motion of the crank teeth 4 and the decoded signal output from the sensor 18 is used to provide position information which is used for engine speed measurement. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that any suitable sensor may be used to measure crank tooth motion, e.g. an optical based sensor may be used.
  • crank tooth time is the time between successive crank teeth. This is illustrated in Figure 2 which shows the decoded signal output from the sensor of Figure 1 .
  • an apparatus 30 for generating templates for use in a torque estimating device comprises a test engine 32, an engine speed sensor 18, a torque sensor 34, a processor 36 and storage means 38.
  • the test engine 32 is an engine having the same specification as that with which the generated templates will be used to make torque estimates.
  • the engine speed sensor 18 is of the kind described above with reference to Figures 1 and 2 . Accordingly, the engine speed sensor 18 outputs a signal comprising information relating to the rotational speed of the test engine crankshaft when the engine is running.
  • the torque sensor 34 is a conventional engine dynamometer and is coupled to the test engine 32. Accordingly, the torque sensor 34 outputs a signal relating to the torque output of the engine when running.
  • the processor 36 is coupled to and receives the respective signals output from the engine speed sensor 18 and the torque sensor 34.
  • the processor 36 is further coupled to a storage means 38.
  • the storage means 38 may be any suitable memory device, such as a hard disk drive, a flash memory, an optical disk etc.
  • step S100 the test engine 32 is operated at a constant average engine speed.
  • the test engine 32 is also controlled so as to operate at a constant torque output.
  • step S110 the torque output of the test engine is determined by the processor in dependence on the signal output from the torque sensor 34.
  • the test engine may be driven at an average speed of 1000rpm and produce a torque output of 40Nm.
  • the engine speed sensor 18 outputs a series of measurements of the instantaneous engine speed, i.e. the crank tooth times, in step S120.
  • step S130 the processor 36 stores the measured engine speed data in the storage means 38 in association with the torque value determined by the torque sensor 34, thereby defining a template.
  • a first template may comprise crank tooth times recorded at a torque output of 40Nm and average engine speed of 1000rpm. Further templates may be generated for different torque outputs at the same average engine speeds. Subsequently, the average engine speed may be incremented and the whole process may be repeated, thereby generating templates for a range of torque values and average engine speeds. In this way it is possible to build up a library of templates which cover the operational range of the engine.
  • a template may consist of crank tooth times measured over one injection cycle, i.e. corresponding to a 120° rotation of the crankshaft of a 6 cylinder engine.
  • a template would consist of the crank tooth times for each of the eighteen crank teeth associated with a single injector.
  • measurements may be made over 2 revolutions of the crankshaft, i.e. a 720° rotation, in which case the measured torque output corresponds to an average torque output for all six engine cylinders.
  • the torque estimating unit 50 for estimating the torque output of an engine 52 comprises an engine speed sensor 18, a processor 56 and a memory 58.
  • the processor 56 is the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of the vehicle in which the engine 50 is installed.
  • the engine speed sensor 18 outputs a signal to the ECU 56, which is used to determine the crank tooth times over the desired angular range of motion.
  • the memory 58 which may be formed integrally with the ECU, stores a copy of the library of templates generated using the apparatus shown in Figure 3 .
  • step S200 measurements of the crank tooth times are made over a predetermined angular range. More specifically, during running of the engine 52, the ECU 56 records the instantaneous engine speed for either 120 degrees or 2 revolutions, in dependence on the angular range over which the template data was collected using the test apparatus 30.
  • step S210 a correlation measure between the measured engine speed data and each of the templates stored in the memory 58 is calculated using equation (1) shown below.
  • j indicates the index of the instantaneous engine speed
  • i indicates the template number.
  • the angular range over which the measurements are taken is 120 degrees j will have a value of 18, since each template will comprise eighteen crank tooth times, temp , corresponding respectively to each of the crank teeth associated with a single Injector.
  • there will be eighteen crank tooth measurements, crk to compare to each of the eighteen temp values in each template.
  • step S220 the calculated correlation measures for each template are compared.
  • the template with the highest value of the correlation measure C, is selected for use in the determination of the torque output of the engine 52.
  • step S230 an estimate of the torque output of the engine 52 is determined using the template selected in step S220.
  • the estimate of the torque output is equal to the measured torque value associated with the closest matching template.
  • the actual torque will more usually be between the points at which the templates were measured.
  • the torque estimate can be found from a weighted sum of the torques of the best matching template and its most closely matching neighbour.
  • step S210 The greater the number of templates used for comparison in step S210, the greater the precision with which the torque output of the engine 52 can be estimated.
  • the number of templates used for comparison increases, so the load on the ECU 56 increases, as does the memory space required to store the templates and the time required to obtain the templates using the test cell. Accordingly, the number of templates used may be selected so as to achieve the optimum balance between the precision required and the constraints imposed by the processor speed, memory size and available calibration time.
  • each template comprises a series of measurements of instantaneous engine speed (i.e. crank tooth times), measured at a particular average engine speed and at a particular measured torque output.
  • the templates may be scaled to interpolate between the particular values of average engine speed.
  • the torque output of an engine can be estimated without the need for an individual dynamometer to be connected to the engine.
  • the estimated torque output can be used in a number of ways, e.g. diagnostics, calibration and safety checks.
  • the correlation measure calculated in step S210 may be determined as a square of differences using equation (2) shown below;
  • step S220 the best matching template is determined by selecting the template having the lowest calculated correlation factor.
  • equation (1) becomes equation (3) as shown below;
  • the correlation function may be based purely on the magnitude of the approximately sinusoidal crank tooth time pattern, calculated by subtracting the minimum crank tooth time in one combustion cycle from the maximum tooth time in the cycle as shown in equation (5) below;
  • step S220 the best matching template is determined by selecting the template having the lowest calculated correlation measure.
  • a zero torque datum may be subtracted from each set of crank tooth times.
  • the zero torque datum may be calculated as follows;
  • fault diagnosis may be performed utilising templates which correspond to specific engine faults.
  • the process for diagnosing an engine fault using template comparison is similar to the processes shown in Figures 4 and 6 and will be described In more detail below.
  • faults may arise from variations in the fuel injection quantity, cylinder pressure or the injection timing.
  • a misfire can be caused by either a total failure to inject fuel or a loss of cylinder pressure.
  • Faults of this nature are associated with a deceleration in the rotational speed of the engine.
  • failure modes that cause an increase in the engine's rotational speed, such as a fuel injector needle being stuck open.
  • the test engine may be operated so as to simulate a fault, such as one of those described above. Accordingly, engine speed measurements may be recorded in step S120, over a predetermined range of rotation of the crankshaft, which are characteristic of the simulated engine fault. The engine speed measurements may then be stored in the storage means 38 in association with fault identification information thereby defining a template.
  • templates may be created corresponding to a range of average engine speeds and a range of torque outputs.
  • the generated templates may subsequently be transferred to the memory 58 of the ECU 56 of a vehicle engine for fault diagnosis.
  • fault diagnosis is performed by carrying out steps S200, S210 and S220 as described previously.
  • step S200 engine speed measurements are recorded during running of the engine 52.
  • step 210 the measured engine data is compared to the templates stored in the memory 58, which include the fault specific templates.
  • step S220 the template with the highest calculated correlation factor is selected. In the event that a fault specific template has the highest correlation factor, the ECU 56 diagnoses that the engine is suffering from a fault corresponding to the fault identification information which is associated with the best matching template.
  • crank teeth is taken to cover both projections from the crank wheel as shown in Figure 1 or alternatively drilled holes in the crank wheel.
