Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Erkennen eines Anschleppens einer Brennkraftmaschine in einem Kraftfahrzeug.The invention relates to a method for detecting a towing an internal combustion engine in a motor vehicle.
Unter gewissen Umständen kann es vorkommen, dass die Brennkraftmaschine des Kraftfahrzeugs nicht mittels eines fahrzeuginternen Starters bzw. einer fahrzeuginternen Anlassereinheit gestartet wird, sondern manuell angeschleppt wird, wie in der
Dies ist zum Beispiel dann der Fall, wenn der Starter oder eine andere Komponente des Startsystems defekt ist oder wenn die zur Verfügung stehende Leistung der Starterbatterie, welche von der Temperatur abhängig sein kann, zu gering ist und ein Starten der Brennkraftmaschine deswegen nicht möglich ist. Wird das Fahrzeug bzw. die Brennkraftmaschine angeschleppt, kann in der Regel davon ausgegangen werden, dass (mit Ausnahme einer entladenen Batterie) ein erneuter Start der Brennkraftmaschine erst wieder möglich sein wird, wenn der Defekt in dem Fahrzeug behoben wurde. Schaltet der Fahrer die Brennkraftmaschine ab, oder wird diese aufgrund von Betriebsbedingungen oder zusätzlichen Funktionen automatisch abgeschaltet, ist ein erneuter Start in der Regel wieder nur durch ein Anschleppen der Brennkraftmaschine möglich. Grundsätzlich kann aber bei Kraftfahrzeugen ein Anschleppvorgang der Brennkraftmaschine bisher nicht von einem herkömmlichen Start mittels eines Starters bzw. einer Anlassereinheit unterschieden werden. Somit können keine Maßnahmen im Hinblick auf die Betriebsweise der Brennkraftmaschine oder bestimmter Funktionen getroffen werden, die ein Abschalten der Brennkraftmaschine verhindern.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 therefore starting the internal combustion engine is 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. If the driver shuts down the internal combustion engine, or if this becomes automatic due to operating conditions or additional functions switched off, a restart is usually possible only by towing the engine. In principle, however, a towing operation of the internal combustion engine in motor vehicles can not be distinguished from a conventional start by means of a starter or starter unit. Thus, no measures can be taken with regard to the operation of the internal combustion engine or certain functions that prevent a shutdown of the internal combustion engine.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein Verfahren anzugeben, durch das ein Anschleppen der Brennkraftmaschine von einem herkömmlichen Start der Brennkraftmaschine mittels einer Anlassereinheit unterschieden werden kann.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.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren nach Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This object is achieved by a method according to
Grundgedanke der Erfindung ist, dass ein Anschleppvorgang der Brennkraftmaschine bzw. des Kraftfahrzeugs über die Aktivität oder Nichtaktivität des Starters bzw. der Anlassereinheit erkannt werden kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zum Erkennen eines Anschleppens einer Brennkraftmaschine in einem Kraftfahrzeug zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass ein die Aktivität und/oder Nichtaktivität einer Anlassereinheit der Brennkraftmaschine wiedergebendes Signal detektiert und ausgewertet wird und dass ein Anschleppen der Brennkraftmaschine erkannt wird, wenn nach Erkennen eines erfolgreichen Starts der Brennkraftmaschine das die Aktivität und/oder Nichtaktivität der Anlassereinheit wiedergebende Signal keine Aktivität der Anlassereinheit seit Beginn des Startvorgangs zeigt. Somit wird nach dem Ausschlussprinzip bei fehlender Starteransteuerung auf einen aufgrund externer Einflüsse hervorgerufenen Start der Brennkraftmaschine geschlossen und daraufhin ein ungewolltes automatisches Abschalten der Brennkraftmaschine unterbunden.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. Thus, according to the exclusion principle in the absence of starter control on a caused due to external influences start the engine closed and then an unwanted automatic shutdown of the internal combustion engine prevented.
Vorteilhafterweise wird ein erfolgreicher Start der Brennkraftmaschine erkannt, wenn das Einleiten eines Startvorgangs erkannt wird und am Ende des Startvorgangs bspw. ein Drehzahlüberschwinger der Kurbelwellendrehzahl erkannt wird. Ein (erfolgreicher) Startvorgang der Brennkraftmaschine, also ein Übergang vom stehenden Motor zum laufenden Motor kann durch eine Auswertung eines die Aktivität der Brennkraftmaschine wiedergebenden Signals, bspw. durch eine Auswertung der Kurbelwellendrehzahl erkannt werden. Ein erfolgreicher Start wird dann am Ende des Startvorgangs durch einen sich einstellenden und detektierbaren Drehzahlüberschwinger und/oder das Erreichen der Leerlaufdrehzahl erkannt. Eine derartige Erkennung eines erfolgreichen Starts kann durch eine Auswertung innerhalb eines Zeitfensters in seinem zeitlichen Ablauf plausibilisiert werden und durch zusätzliche Timing- und Entprellmechanismen verbessert werden.Advantageously, 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. By an evaluation of the crankshaft speed. 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.
Wird der Beginn eines Startvorganges identifiziert (z.B. anhand des Überganges von stehender zu drehender Kurbelwelle), wird die Aktivität und/oder Nichtaktivität der Anlassereinheit der Brennkraftmaschine durch Auswertung des die Aktivität und/oder Nichtaktivität der Anlassereinheit der Brennkraftmaschine wiedergebenden Signals, vorteilhafterweise für ein vorgegebenes Zeitfenster oder der Brennkraftmaschine vorgegebenen Drehzahl überprüft. Vorteilhafterweise ist das die Aktivität und/oder Nichtaktivität der Anlassereinheit wiedergebende Signal derart ausgestaltet, das es bei Erkennen der Aktivität des Anlassers seinen Status von "Nicht Aktiv" auf "Aktiv" ändert. Das Signal kann nach einem vorgegebenen Zeitintervall und erfolgter Auswertung oder bei Erreichen des Startendes und erfolgter Auswertung und/oder in Abhängigkeit von der Drehzahl der Brennkraftmaschine oder bei einem Abstellen der Brennkraftmaschine vom Status "Aktiv" auf den Status "Nicht-Aktiv" zurückgesetzt werden. Als finale Bedingung eines erfolgreichen Anschleppens muss zusätzlich zur Nichtaktivität des Starters bei Startbeginn auch der Erfolg des Anschleppens durch die Erkennung des Startendes folgen - nur dann darf das Anschleppen als erfolgt gewertet werden.If the beginning of a starting process is identified (eg based on the transition from stationary to rotating crankshaft), 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. Advantageously, 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. As the final condition of a successful tow In addition to the non-activity of the starter at start-up, the success of towing must be followed by the detection of the start end - only then the towing may be considered as done.
Wie bereits eingangs erwähnt, können bei einem Erkennen eines Anschleppens der Brennkraftmaschine verschiedene Maßnahmen im Hinblick auf die Betriebsweise der Brennkraftmaschine getroffen werden, die zu einer Verbesserung der Betriebsweise bei angeschleppten Brennkraftmaschinen führen. Vorteilhafterweise können bei einem Erkennen eines Anschleppens der Brennkraftmaschine vorgegebene Fahrzeugfunktionen bspw. für die Dauer eines Fahrzyklus, also bis zum nächsten manuellen ausgeführten Abschaltvorgang der Brennkraftmaschine, deaktiviert werden, die ein automatisches Abschalten der Brennkraftmaschine ermöglichen bzw. einleiten könnten.As already mentioned, various measures can be taken with regard to the operation of the internal combustion engine when detecting a towing of the internal combustion engine, which lead to an improvement in the operation of trailed internal combustion engines. Advantageously, given a detection of a towing of the internal combustion engine predetermined vehicle functions, for example. For the duration of a driving cycle, ie until the next manual executed shutdown of the internal combustion engine, which enable or could initiate an automatic shutdown of the internal combustion engine.
Ist das Kraftfahrzeug bspw. mit einer hybriden Antriebseinheit bestehend aus einer Brennkraftmaschine und einem Elektromotor zum Antreiben des Kraftfahrzeugs ausgestattet, ist es bspw. sinnvoll, einen Wechsel des Antriebs von der Brennkraftmaschine zum Elektromotor (d.h. einen automatischen Stopp der Brennkraftmaschine) zu unterbinden, wenn ein Anschleppen der Brennkraftmaschine erkannt wurde, bspw. aufgrund eines defekten Startsystems. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass nach einem Wechsel des Antriebs von Brennkraftmaschine zum Elektromotor das Fahrzeug zum Stillstand kommt, da das Startsystem auch dann aufgrund seines Defekts die Brennkraftmaschine nicht wieder starten kann. Ein erneutes Anlassen der Brennkraftmaschine wäre dann nämlich nicht möglich. Es entsteht die Gefahr des "Liegenbleibens".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 internal combustion engine to the electric motor (ie an automatic stop of the engine), if a 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".
Ist das Kraftfahrzeug mit einer automatischen Brennkraftmaschinen-Stopp-Funktion ausgestattet, die Teil einer sog. "Automatischen Start Stopp Funktion" sein kann, wird in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung diese Funktion bei Erkennen eines Anschleppens der Brennkraftmaschine deaktiviert oder die Ausführung Ihrer Stopp-Befehle unterbunden, da bei einem automatischen Abstellen einer angeschleppten Brennkraftmaschine ein Wiederstart in der Regel nicht gewährleistet werden kann. Würde die Brennkraftmaschine automatisch abgeschaltet werden, müsste diese vermutlich erneut angeschleppt werden.If the motor vehicle is equipped with 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 upon detection of a towing of the internal combustion engine 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.
Zusammenfassend ist festzustellen, dass bei einem Erkennen einer angeschleppten Brennkraftmaschine verschiedenste Maßnahmen eingeleitet werden können, um somit sog. "Liegenbleiber" zu vermeiden. Dadurch können Gewährleistungskosten und Kundenbeanstandungen vermieden werden.In summary, it should be noted that when detecting a towed internal combustion engine various measures can be initiated in order to avoid so-called. "Lying". As a result, warranty costs and customer complaints can be avoided.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird nun anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Dazu zeigt die einzige Figur ein vereinfachtes Ablaufdiagramm zum Erkennen eines Anschleppens einer Brennkraftmaschine und Maßnahmen, die bei Erkennen eines Anschleppens eingeleitet werden.The inventive method will now be explained in more detail with reference to an embodiment. For this purpose, 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.
Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass das Kraftfahrzeug, welches zur Ausführung des Ablaufdiagramms geeignet ausgestaltet ist, mit einer Funktion zum automatischen Stoppen und Wiederanlassen der Brennkraftmaschine ausgestattet ist. Zusätzlich ist das Kraftfahrzeug mit einem hybriden Antriebssystem bestehend aus einer Brennkraftmaschine und einem Elektromotor zum Antreiben des Kraftfahrzeugs ausgestattet, wobei die beiden Antriebseinheiten alternativ für den Antrieb genutzt werden können. Das Ablaufdiagramm kann bspw. in einem Motorsteuergerät, oder mehreren dafür vorgesehenen Steuergeräten, implementiert sein.It is assumed that 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. In addition, 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.
Das Ablaufdiagramm für das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren beginnt im Schritt 10. Dort wird durch Auswertung der Kurbelwellendrehzahl kw festgestellt, ob die Brennkraftmaschine gestartet wird bzw. gestartet werden soll (Anfang des Starts), also St_BK vorliegt. Sobald sich die Kurbelwellendrehzahl ausgehend von Null (Stillstand) erhöht, wird der Beginn eines Startversuchs der Brennkraftmaschine St_BK erkannt. Daraufhin wird im Schritt 20 die Kurbelwellendrehzahl kw im Hinblick auf einen Drehzahlüberschwinger ausgewertet. Sobald der Drehzahlüberschwinger erkannt wird, wird ein erfolgreicher Start der Brennkraftmaschine St_BK_e erkannt und zum Schritt 30 gegangen.The flowchart for the method according to the invention begins in
Im nächsten Schritt 30 wird ein die Aktivität einer Anlassereinheit der Brennkraftmaschine wiedergebendes Signal a_ST ausgewertet. Dieses Signal ist 0, wenn der Starter bzw. die Anlasseinheit nicht aktiv ist und seit dem Start der Brennkraftmaschine St_BK noch nicht aktiv war. Das Signal wechselt von 0 auf 1, sobald eine Aktivität der Anlassereinheit festgestellt wird bzw. wurde. Im Schritt 30 wird überprüft, ob die Anlassereinheit aktiv ist bzw. war, indem überprüft wird, ob a_ST = 0 ist. Ist oder war die Anlassereinheit (a_ST == 1) aktiv, wird das Ablaufdiagramm im Schritt 40 beendet und a_ST = 0 gesetzt.In the
War die Anlassereinheit nicht aktiv, also gilt a_ST ==1 nicht, wird im Schritt 50 die Funktion zum automatischen Stoppen und Wiederanlassen der Antriebseinheit durch Erzeugen eines Deaktivierungssignals ASSF_aus deaktiviert und parallel dazu im Schritt 60 ein möglicher (zukünftiger) Wechsel vom Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine in den Betrieb des Elektromotors zum Antreiben des Fahrzeugs durch Erzeugen eines Wechselverhinderungssignal w_eM_aus verhindert. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die Brennkraftmaschine automatisch abgeschaltet wird und anschließend nicht mehr gestartet werden kann, wenn ein Antrieb durch die Brennkraftmaschine notwendig ist oder zumindest sinnvoll erscheint.If the starter unit was not active, ie a_ST == 1 does not apply, the function for automatically stopping and restarting the drive unit is deactivated in
Alternativ zu diesem Ausführungsbeispiel können zusätzlich oder alternativ noch eine Vielzahl anderer Funktionen deaktiviert oder beeinflusst werden, so dass diese der Funktionsweise einer angeschleppten Brennkraftmaschine gerecht werden. Außer der Eingangsgröße kw in Schritt 10 und 20 können eine Vielzahl anderer Eingangsparameter zur Erkennung der Startsituation hinzugefügt werden.As an alternative to this exemplary embodiment, additionally or alternatively, 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
