Definitions
- the leakage losses must be reduced. This can be achieved, inter alia, by shortening the funding phase.
- the shortened delivery phases lead in particular at high speeds to high flow rates and thus to steep pressure gradients in the rail, which complicates the exact metering of the desired injection quantity.
- the pressure in the rail is measured by a pressure sensor shortly before the actuation of the injectors and with this pressure value, the control duration from a map - the so-called flow-An confusedauer- map - determined.
- the real rail pressure signal in the control unit is applied with a time delay.
- the reading of the print must already be in the dynamic Interrupt before the actual energization of the injector done in order to hold sufficient time in the control unit for calculating the required control period. In total, this results in a time delay ⁇ t between the measurement of the pressure value and the availability of this pressure value in the control unit, where it can be used to determine the activation duration of the injector.
- injection quantity depends on the pressure applied to the rail, this pressure deviation leads to significant injection quantity errors.
- the invention is based on the object to provide a method which allows a more accurate metering of the injection quantity and which can be realized as inexpensively as possible.
- This object is achieved in a method for operating a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines with a high-pressure pump, with a common rail, with a pressure sensor, with at least one injection valve, and with a control unit for controlling the injectors, wherein a first rail pressure p Ra ⁇
- the method according to the invention makes use of the fact that the error resulting from the time delay between the detection of the first rail pressure P R aii -i at the first time ti and the second rail pressure p Rai
- This makes it possible to use this systematic error, which is known relatively accurately from injections jr lying in the past, to correct the first rail pressure p Ra , ⁇ -i in the next injection j.
- the error with respect to the rail pressure can be significantly reduced and, as a result, the injection quantity can be dosed more accurately. Additional hardware is not required.
- Another important advantage of the method according to the invention is that no additional hardware is needed, since only an additional pressure measurement has to be performed by the already existing pressure sensor.
- the method according to the invention can thus also be realized by means of a software update even for fuel injection systems already in series.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention provides that the correction of the first rail pressure p Ra , ⁇ -i according to the equation shown in claim 3.
- the injection j means that fuel is injected into the cylinder with the number j.
- fuel is injected once into each of the m cylinders of the internal combustion engine, with no distinction being made in the context of the invention between main injection, pilot injection and post-injection, since the method according to the invention is used for a main injection and / or pilot injection and / or injection Post-injection can be applied.
- the delivery strokes of the high-pressure fuel pump also follow a certain periodicity, the periodicity of the delivery strokes preferably being generally whole multiples of the working cycles.
- the number of delivery strokes within a working cycle depends on the number of pump elements of the high-pressure fuel pump and the transmission ratio between the high-pressure fuel pump and the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine. As a rule, the number of delivery strokes within a work cycle is an integer. For example, in the case of a 4-cylinder internal combustion engine, two delivery strokes may be performed by the high-pressure fuel pump within one operating cycle.
- the offset between the current injection j and the comparable earlier injection is equal to 2. This offset is denoted by the letter r below.
- V-systems deviates from the rail pressure curve in the environment of the injection between the individual cylinders. It must therefore be system dependent, in the firing order by one or more cylinders, corresponding to the offset r, in the
- Table 1 Warpage r as a function of the delivery strokes per working cycle for different engine types.
- control unit which operates according to one of the methods of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a common rail fuel
- FIG. 2 shows the pressure curve within a working cycle in a four-cylinder
- a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines is shown schematically, by means of which the inventive method will be explained below.
- each injector 100 is designated, via which the fuel is metered to the individual combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine, not shown.
- Each injector 100 is associated with a cylinder of the internal combustion engine, not shown.
- three injectors 100-1 to 100-4 of a 4-cylinder internal combustion engine are shown.
- the number of injectors 100-1 to 100-m changes accordingly.
- the injectors are fueled by a pressure accumulator, hereinafter referred to as "common RaN".
- the common rail 200 is connected via a high pressure line 210 with a high pressure pump 220 in connection.
- the high-pressure pump 220 is connected via a low-pressure line 240 to a low-pressure pump 250, which is usually designed as an electric fuel pump.
- the low pressure pump 250 is preferably disposed in a fuel tank 255.
- a pressure sensor 205 is arranged at the pressure accumulator 200.
- a quantity control valve 230 is attached between the low-pressure pump 250 and the high-pressure pump 220.
- the quantity control valve 230 may also be arranged between the high-pressure pump 220 and the common rail 200 (not shown).
- the quantity control valve 230 and the injectors 100 are energized by an output stage 160.
- the output stage 160 is preferably integrated in a control unit 260 which processes the output signals of the pressure sensor 205 and various other sensors 270.
- the fuel injection system now operates as follows:
- the low pressure pump 250 delivers the fuel, which is in the tank 255, via the low pressure line 240 to the high pressure pump 220. This compresses the fuel and delivers it via the high pressure line 210 into the pressure accumulator.
- the injector 100-j By driving the injector 100-j, the start and the end of the injection j of fuel into the j-th cylinder can be controlled. This control takes place as a function of the operating characteristics of the internal combustion engine recorded with the sensors 270.
- the pressure in the accumulator 200 prevailing fuel pressure p ra ii (t) is detected and preferably evaluated in the control unit 260.
- the quantity control valve 230 is controlled as a function of the measured pressure value p ra ⁇ i so that the pressure setpoint p S ⁇ ⁇ in the common rail 200 sets.
- the quantity control valve 230 By means of the quantity control valve 230, the amount of fuel delivered by the high-pressure pump 220 can be controlled and thus the pressure build-up in the pressure accumulator 200 can be controlled.
- the quantity control valve 230 it is necessary for the quantity control valve 230 to be actuated at a specific first time and the activation to be withdrawn at a second time.
- the mass control valve 230 opens and / or closes at the exact pre-calculated time. It is advantageous if the delay time between the activation of the quantity control valve 230 and the actual reaction, ie the opening and / or closing of the quantity control valve 230, is as small as possible.
- the high pressure pump 220 delivers the fuel mass needed to maintain or a desired change in pressure p Ra , ⁇ in the pressure accumulator 200 is necessary.
- the two delivery strokes are immediately before the injections in the cylinders 2 and 4 of the internal combustion engine.
