Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1, and an electrical circuit and a method according to the independent claims.
  • Switching elements such as relays or solenoid valves, which are used in particular as injection valves of an internal combustion engine are exposed to high demands during operation and are therefore frequently monitored. This monitoring is done for example by an evaluation of currents and / or voltages of an actuator of the switching element.
  • sensors can serve for this purpose, which detect physical variables and convert them into electrical variables. The transmission of these quantities to a control unit or the like is generally associated with an increased expense in terms of the number of electrical lines.
  • solenoid valves for gasoline direct injection of internal combustion engines electrical control variables of the magnetic circuit can be used to determine the closing time of a nozzle needle of the injection valve when the magnetic circuit actuates the nozzle needle directly. In this case, additional measuring lines or the like are often unnecessary.
  • the magnetic circuit additionally actuates a servo valve, which subsequently controls a nozzle needle-operated high-pressure hydraulics. The closing time of the nozzle needle can not be determined from the movement of a magnet armature of the solenoid valve.
  • a method is known in which a measuring state is produced in which at least one connection of the actuator is at least temporarily decoupled from a reference potential and / or from a source controlling the actuator substantially.
  • the measuring state at least one signal of at least one sensor of a sensor device is determined from at least one electrical potential at at least one connection of the actuator.
  • lines to the actuator and the sensor device can be saved.
  • the sensor device comprises a sensor and a series resistor connected in series with the sensor and in a first phase in the control of an actuator
  • the current is limited by the sensor, a disturbance or damage of the sensor is advantageously prevented.
  • the series resistor connected in series with the sensor also offers advantages with regard to the design of the sensor.
  • the sensor may, for example, have a high capacity, without resulting in detrimental effects on the activation of the actuator. In particular, high-capacity piezoelectric sensors can thereby be used.
  • the capacitance of the sensor and the series resistor form a first low-pass first order, which advantageously reduces the above-described load on the sensor in the control of the actuator.
  • the ohmic resistance of the series resistor is substantially greater than the ohmic resistance of the actuator. In the first phase much more power is supplied to the actuator than the sensor device. In the event of a short circuit of the sensor, the series resistor advantageously ensures that the actuator can continue to operate despite the short circuit.
  • An electrical circuit advantageously comprises a capacitor between the one terminal of the actuator, to which the sensor device is connected.
  • a signal of the sensor of the sensor device is determined as a function of the electrical potential at the capacitor of the electrical circuit.
  • the sensor has voltage source character.
  • the series resistor and the capacitor of the electrical circuit form a second low-pass filter. Accordingly, high-frequency noise can be filtered out and the electrical potential at the capacitor of the electrical circuit is advantageously smoothed and thus there is an improved signal quality.
  • the second low pass consisting of the series resistor of the sensor device and the capacitor of the electrical circuit is advantageously dimensioned such that the sensor signal is attenuated only slightly.
  • the capacitance of the sensor is greater than the capacitance of the capacitor of the electrical circuit.
  • the time constant of the first low-pass filter is greater than the time constant of the second low-pass filter, which advantageously determines the scanning accuracy predominantly only from the first low-pass filter.
  • the actuator is substantially decoupled from the reference potential and / or from the driving source in a second phase before the third phase and after the first phase. Due to the decoupling, the sensor signal is not degraded via the low-impedance actuator and the sensor signal can be measured.
  • an error of the sensor is determined as a function of the electrical potential or a profile of the electrical potential at the capacitor of the electrical circuit.
  • an error signal is generated by the electrical circuit.
  • the electrical potential at the capacitor can thus be advantageously ignored or ignored in the activation of the actuator.
  • a faulty sensor thus does not lead to a faulty operation of the actuator.
  • the error signal can For example, the driver or choirmitariaer be displayed, for example, to perform the replacement of the fuel injection valve or perform.

  • an armature bolt 40 mounted in a play-like manner along the longitudinal axis 12 but held radially, on which an armature 42 is displaceably arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis 12.
  • lower end portion 44 of the armature 42 may rest on a valve seat forming a sealing portion 46 of the valve member 18.
  • the end portion 44 forms in this respect a valve element of the servo valve 10.
  • the magnetic switching member 16 is like the other elements of the servo valve 10 in Essentially designed rotationally symmetrical, but only the right in the drawing half of a sectional view is shown.
  • a guide diameter of the armature 42 and a seat diameter in the region of the sealing portion 46 are approximately equal.
  • the valve member 18 defines the hydraulic control chamber 20 and the valve piston 22.

  • a fluid space 56, in which the armature 42 and the anchor bolt 40 are arranged, is connected to a low-pressure region, not shown.
  • the servo valve 10 is thus closed. Due to the pressure conditions in the control chamber 20, the valve piston 22 is pressed down in the drawing, so that the (not shown) valve needle closes. If the coil 30 is energized, the armature 42 is moved by magnetic force in the direction of the magnetic core 32 against the anchor stopper 36. As a result, fluid flows from the control chamber 20 to the fluid chamber 56 out, so that the pressure in the control chamber 20 decreases and the valve needle with the valve piston 22 in FIG. 1 can move up and open. The fuel injection begins. To close the energization of the coil 30 is terminated.
  • the closing time of the fuel injection valve 11 can be determined by the course of the force exerted by the anchor bolt 40 against the force-sensitive transducer 26, is evaluated. By such a force or force change, a voltage is built up in the latter or generates a current pulse or there is a change of a passive parameter of the sensor, for example its resistance or its capacitance, whereby a sensor signal is generated.
  • the sensor signal can by means of electrical circuits, as described below in the FIGS. 4 and 5 be described.
  • the force-sensitive transducer 26 may also be embodied as a sensor which alternatively or additionally detects a force and / or pressure of the fluid 54 and / or structure-borne noise of the support plate 14 or of a housing of the fuel injection valve 11, so that the opening times and / or closing times of the servo valve 10 can be determined. Force sensitive transducer 26 will therefore be generically referred to as sensor 26 below.
