Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for detecting a towing an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle.
  • the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle is not started by means of an in-vehicle starter or an in-vehicle starter unit, but is manually towed. This is the case, for example, when the starter or another component of the starting system is defective or when the available power of the starter battery, which may be dependent on the temperature, is too low and starting of the internal combustion engine is therefore not possible. If the vehicle or the internal combustion engine is towed, it can generally be assumed that (with the exception of a discharged battery) a restart of the internal combustion engine will only be possible again when the defect in the vehicle has been rectified.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method by which a towing of the internal combustion engine can be distinguished from a conventional start of the internal combustion engine by means of a starter unit.
  • the basic idea of the invention is that a towing operation of the internal combustion engine or the motor vehicle can be detected via the activity or inactivity of the starter or the starter unit.
  • the inventive method for detecting a towing an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle is characterized in that a the activity and / or non-activity of a starter unit of the internal combustion engine reproducing signal is detected and evaluated and that a towing of the internal combustion engine is detected when after detecting a successful start of the internal combustion engine, the signal representing the activity and / or inactivity of the starter unit shows no activity of the starter unit since the start of the starting process.
  • a successful start of the internal combustion engine is detected when the initiation of a starting process is detected and, for example, a speed overshoot of the crankshaft speed is detected at the end of the starting process.
  • a (successful) starting process of the internal combustion engine ie a transition from the stationary engine to the running engine can be detected by an evaluation of the activity of the internal combustion engine reproducing signal, for example.
  • a successful start is then recognized at the end of the starting process by a self-adjusting and detectable speed overshoot and / or the achievement of idling speed.
  • Such a recognition of a successful start can be made plausible in its timing by an evaluation within a time window and improved by additional timing and debouncing mechanisms.
  • the activity and / or inactivity of the starter unit of the internal combustion engine by evaluating the activity and / or non-activity of the starter unit of the internal combustion engine reproducing signal, advantageously for a given time window or the internal combustion engine predetermined speed checked.
  • the signal representing the activity and / or inactivity of the starter unit is configured such that it changes its status from "non-active" to "active” upon detection of the activity of the starter.
  • the signal can be reset to the status "non-active" after a predetermined time interval and successful evaluation or upon reaching the start end and successful evaluation and / or as a function of the speed of the internal combustion engine or when switching off the internal combustion engine.
  • towing must also be followed by the success of towing by the detection of the start-end - only then may the towing be considered as having taken place.
  • Is the motor vehicle for example, equipped with a hybrid drive unit consisting of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor for driving the motor vehicle, it is, for example, useful to prevent a change of the drive from the engine to the electric motor (ie an automatic stop of the engine), if Towing the engine has been detected, for example. Due to a defective start system. This prevents that after a change of the drive from internal combustion engine to the electric motor, the vehicle comes to a standstill, since the start system can not start again due to its defect, the internal combustion engine. A restart of the internal combustion engine would then not possible. There is the danger of "lying down".
  • an automatic engine stop function which may be part of a so-called “automatic start stop function”
  • this function is deactivated in an advantageous embodiment of the invention when a starting of the internal combustion engine is detected. Fourth or the execution of your stop commands prevented, since in an automatic shutdown of a towed internal combustion engine, a restart can not be guaranteed in the rule. If the internal combustion engine were switched off automatically, it would probably have to be towed again.
  • the single figure shows a simplified flow chart for detecting a towing an internal combustion engine and measures that are initiated upon detection of a towing.
  • the motor vehicle which is designed to carry out the flowchart suitable, is equipped with a function for automatically stopping and restarting the internal combustion engine.
  • the motor vehicle is equipped with a hybrid drive system consisting of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor for driving the motor vehicle, wherein the two drive units can be used alternatively for the drive.
  • the flowchart may, for example, be implemented in an engine control unit or a plurality of control units provided for this purpose.
  • step 10 There, it is determined by evaluation of the crankshaft speed kw whether the internal combustion engine is started or should be started (start of the start), ie St_BK is present. As soon as the crankshaft speed increases from zero (standstill), the beginning of a start attempt is the Internal combustion engine St_BK detected. Then, in step 20, the crankshaft speed kw is evaluated with regard to a speed overshoot. As soon as the speed overshoot is detected, a successful start of the internal combustion engine St BK e is detected and step 30 has been reached.
  • a signal a_ST representing the activity of a starter unit of the internal combustion engine is evaluated.
  • This signal is 0 when the starter or the starter unit is not active and has not been active since the start of the internal combustion engine St_BK.
  • the signal changes from 0 to 1 as soon as an activity of the starter unit is detected.
  • step 50 the function for automatically stopping and restarting the drive unit is deactivated in step 50 by generating a deactivation signal ASSF and parallel to this in step 60 a possible (future) change from the operation of the internal combustion engine in the operation of the electric motor for driving the vehicle by generating a mutual prohibition signal w_eM_aus prevented. This prevents that the internal combustion engine is switched off automatically and then can not be started if a drive by the internal combustion engine is necessary or at least makes sense.
  • a plurality of other functions can be deactivated or influenced so that they do justice to the mode of operation of a towed internal combustion engine. Except the input kw in step 10 and 20 can a variety of other input parameters are added to detect the startup situation.
