Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating an internal combustion engine according to claim 1, an injection system for an internal combustion engine according to claim 6, and a
- German Patent DE 10 2009 031 529 B3 discloses a method for operating an internal combustion engine with an injection system, wherein the injection system has a common high-pressure reservoir, namely a so-called rail, so that the
- Injection system is designed as a common rail system. A high pressure in the
- High-pressure accumulator is controlled via a low-pressure suction throttle as the first pressure actuator in a high-pressure control loop. There will be a high pressure disturbance over one
- high-pressure side pressure control valve is generated as a second pressure actuator, wherein over the
- Pressure control valve fuel is diverted from the high-pressure accumulator into a fuel reservoir. It is provided that the pressure control valve is temporarily activated with a set protection function temporarily in the opening direction maximum.
- the protection function is set when a dynamic high pressure exceeds a preset pressure limit.
- the protection function is reset. A renewed setting of the protective function is only possible if the predetermined pressure limit is exceeded again, at the same time the protective function is enabled again. Activation is effected by means of a special variable which is only set to an enable value when the high pressure after activated and subsequently reset protection function reaches a predetermined value
- the known injection system has a mechanical pressure relief valve which opens when exceeding a further, typically higher pressure limit and thus reliably prevents an inadmissibly high pressure rise in the high pressure accumulator independently of an electronic control purely mechanical way.
- lines must be provided which connect this one hand with the high-pressure accumulator and on the other hand with the fuel reservoir.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method which does not have at least one of the disadvantages mentioned.
- the invention is also based on the object to provide a corresponding injection system and an internal combustion engine.
- the object is achieved by providing a method for operating an internal combustion engine with the steps of claim 1. It is provided according to a first embodiment of the method that the high pressure is controlled in a protective operation by the pressure regulating valve via a second pressure control loop. This results in the following: The high pressure in the high-pressure accumulator is controlled in a normal operation on the low-pressure suction throttle as the first pressure actuator in a first high pressure control loop, wherein in the
- a high-pressure disturbance variable is generated as a second pressure actuator.
- the protective mode of the high pressure is controlled by the pressure control valve via the second pressure control loop.
- the injection system can be protected from an inadmissibly high pressure, and on the other hand, a periodic fluctuation of the high pressure is avoided. This is rather controlled by the second high-pressure control loop to its desired value, so that no deterioration of the emission behavior of the internal combustion engine occurs.
- a second embodiment of the method which is characterized in that the pressure control valve is permanently opened in a protective operation.
- a large, preferably a maximum, fuel volume flow from the high-pressure accumulator into the fuel reservoir is permanently diverted via the pressure control valve.
- the pressure regulating valve is activated in the protective operation in the direction of a maximum opening.
- Pressure control valve in the protection mode maximum wide open. Depending on if that
- Pressure control valve is normally open or normally closed, it is preferably driven with a large, preferably maximum drive current, or with a small drive current, preferably not energized.
- Fuel volume flow refers to the fact that the pressure control valve is opened as far as possible.In this embodiment, an impermissibly high pressure in the
- High-pressure accumulator not only temporarily, but permanently degraded quickly and reliably, so that the injection system is effectively and reliably protected.
- Pressure relief valve omitted. It is therefore particularly preferred that no mechanical Pressure relief valve more used. It is possible because of the reliable and effective protection of the injection system from an inadmissibly high pressure in the protective operation, omit the mechanical pressure relief valve, so that the space associated with this and the corresponding lines space can be saved, which also accounts for the injection system, so this overall may be cheaper.
- This embodiment of the method is accordingly characterized in that the high pressure is controlled in a first operating mode of the protective operation by means of the pressure regulating valve via the second high-pressure control loop, wherein the pressure regulating valve in a second
- Operation mode of the protective operation is permanently opened, wherein preferably via the pressure control valve, a maximum fuel volume flow is preferably removed from the high-pressure accumulator into the fuel reservoir.
- High-pressure accumulator is permanently guaranteed. It is preferably provided that the first operating mode of the protective operation is realized when the high pressure between a first, lower pressure limit and a second, higher pressure limit, wherein in this pressure range still a stable control of the high pressure is possible, the second
- the first mode allows a pressure control, for example, even in case of failure of the first high pressure control loop, the second mode safe and reliable protection for the injection system at impermissibly high
- the high-pressure accumulator is preferably designed as a common high-pressure accumulator, with which a plurality of injectors are in fluid communication.
- a high-pressure accumulator is also referred to as a rail, wherein the injection system is preferably designed as a common-rail injection system.
- An embodiment of the method is preferred, which is characterized in that a first operating mode of the protective operation is set when the high pressure a first
- the first operating mode addressed here corresponds to the first operating mode of the protective mode mentioned above, wherein the embodiment addressed here can be realized independently of whether a second operating mode actually exists.
- first mode is used here only to distinguish from the "second mode” designated mode, which does not necessarily have to be provided both modes.
- Pressure limit preferably chosen so that it is higher than a typically realized in error-free operation of the injection system, highest pressure value for the high pressure.
- the high pressure is typically controlled in operation to a value of 2200 bar.
- a pressure reserve is provided for any pressure fluctuations occurring up to 2300 bar.
- the first pressure limit is preferably selected to be 2400 bar to avoid activating the first mode without malfunction of the first high pressure control loop.
- the high pressure can increase above the intended reserve level, especially in a higher speed range of the internal combustion engine, especially if the suction throttle is formed normally open. In this case, the high pressure reaches or exceeds the first pressure limit, and the
- Pressure control valve takes over the control of the high pressure. It is then despite the failure of the first high-pressure control loop still a stable control of the high pressure possible, so that no deterioration of the emission behavior of the engine occurs, which is also reliably protected against an inadmissible increase in high pressure.
- a dynamic rail pressure which consists of a filtering of the measured by means of a high pressure sensor
- High pressure in particular results with a comparatively short time constant.
- the measured high pressure directly to the first pressure limit to compare.
- the filtering has the advantage that - albeit rarely occurring - overshoot over the first pressure limit not directly to a setting of the first
- Pressure control valve limited in the first mode depending on the high pressure. This has the advantage that the pressure regulating valve is not opened further than is necessary for a maximum useful at a given high pressure control. In this way, an override of the pressure control valve can be avoided.
- To limit the manipulated variable is preferably resorted to a characteristic by which a maximum volume flow of the pressure control valve is deposited in dependence on the high pressure.
- an integrating portion of a pressure regulator of the second high-pressure control loop which is provided for driving the pressure regulating valve, is initialized with a control value, which in the normal mode immediately before Switching to the protection mode was used to control the pressure control valve.
- An embodiment of the method is also preferred, which is characterized in that a second operating mode of the protective operation is set when the high pressure exceeds a second pressure limit value.
- the pressure control valve is permanently opened in the second mode, wherein preferably via the pressure control valve permanently a maximum fuel flow rate is removed from the high-pressure accumulator in the fuel reservoir.
- the second operating mode thus corresponds to the second operating mode already described above, which may be provided alternatively, but also in addition to the first operating mode. If it is provided in addition to the first operating mode, the second pressure limit value is preferably selected to be greater than the first pressure limit value.
- the second pressure limit value is preferably selected such that it corresponds to a pressure that is at a conventional pressure Design of the injection system would be selected as ⁇ ffhungstik for a mechanical pressure relief valve.
- the second pressure limit value is preferably selected such that it corresponds to a pressure that is at a conventional pressure Design of the injection system would be selected as ⁇ ffhungstik for a mechanical pressure relief valve.
- Pressure limit for example, at 2500 bar. This would correspond to a pressure in which a mechanical pressure relief valve would be designed for opening in this specific example. Due to the fact that in the second operating mode, the pressure control valve not only temporarily - as known from the prior art - but permanently abgrest a large, preferably a maximum fuel flow from the high pressure accumulator into the fuel reservoir, an impermissible increase in the high pressure and thus reliably avoid damage to the injection system by means of the pressure control valve. As a result, the mechanical pressure relief valve can be omitted. Its function is rather completely simulated by the pressure control valve.
- a dynamic rail pressure is preferably compared, which is obtained by filtering in particular with a comparatively short time constant from the measured by a high-pressure sensor high pressure.
- the measured high pressure is directly compared with the second pressure limit.
- Emission values are possible. This is particularly the case in a low to medium speed range in which due to the low to medium speed of the high pressure pump itself via a fully open suction throttle yet controllable by a control via the pressure control valve amount of fuel from the fuel reservoir is fed into the high-pressure accumulator. If, on the other hand, the high pressure rises in the
- High-pressure accumulator inadmissible high above the second pressure limit addition to, for example, in a high speed range of the internal combustion engine, no pressure control over the pressure control valve is possible. This is then opened as completely as possible in the second mode, so that a large, preferably maximum fuel flow in the Fuel reservoir can be repelled. This corresponds to the functionality of the otherwise provided mechanical pressure relief valve.
- first mode and the second mode are sequentially sequentially performed, for example, when a defect in the first high-pressure control loop at low speed of the internal combustion engine, the first mode is realized, with increasing the speed then finally the second mode is realized. But it is also possible that the high pressure in the
- High-pressure accumulator suddenly rises above the second pressure limit, in which case the first mode virtually skipped and immediately the second mode is realized.
- An embodiment of the method is preferred, which is characterized in that a normal function is set for the pressure regulating valve in normal operation, in which the pressure regulating valve is controlled as a function of a desired volume flow.
- the normal function provides an operation for the pressure control valve, in which this generates a high-pressure disturbance by abgrest fuel from the high-pressure accumulator into the fuel reservoir.
- the normal function is set for the pressure control valve in the first operating mode of the protective operation, so that the pressure control valve is controlled in dependence on a desired volume flow.
- the normal operation on the one hand and the first mode of protection operation on the other hand differ in this case in the manner in which the target volume flow is calculated to control the pressure control valve:
- the target volume flow is preferably a static and a dynamic target - calculated volume flow.
- the static target volume flow is again preferably in dependence of a desired injection quantity and a speed of the
- Constant leakage is simulated via the static setpoint volume flow, in that the fuel is only diverted in a low load range and in a small amount.
- the advantage here is that no significant increase in the fuel temperature and no significant reductions in the efficiency of the internal combustion engine occur.
- the dynamic setpoint volume flow is calculated via a dynamic correction as a function of a setpoint high pressure and the actual high pressure or the control deviation derived therefrom. If the deviation is negative, for example, in a load shedding of the internal combustion engine is on the
- the dynamic setpoint volumetric flow counteracts a pressure increase in the high pressure, with the advantage that the settling time of the system can be further improved.
- the setpoint volume flow is calculated in the second high-pressure control loop-in particular by a pressure regulating valve-pressure regulator.
- the target volume flow is a control variable of the second high-pressure control loop, and it serves for the immediate control of the high pressure.
- Input variable has the desired volume flow. It is then preferably switched by means of a - possibly virtual - switch when switching from normal operation in the first mode of protection operation of the calculation of the target volume flow as a resulting flow from the static and the dynamic setpoint volumetric flow to the calculation in the second high pressure control loop.
- the integral part of the pressure regulating valve-pressure regulator of the second high-pressure control loop is preferred
- Switching is initialized with the resulting target volumetric flow rate calculated last before switching, so that a smooth, smooth switchover takes place.
- Pressure control valve then not driven in the standstill function, that is not energized, it results in a maximum opening thereof, so that a maximum fuel volume flow is removed from the high-pressure accumulator in the fuel reservoir via the pressure control valve.
- the pressure regulating valve may have the functionality of an otherwise
- Design of the pressure control valve has the advantage that this reliably opens completely even when it is no longer energized due to a defect.
- the standstill function is set for the pressure control valve in this case, so that this opens a maximum and thus brings the injection system in a safe state corresponding to a state in which the mechanical pressure relief valve would be open in the prior art. It can then no longer come to an impermissible increase in the high pressure.
- the standstill function is also set based on the normal function when a stoppage of the internal combustion engine is detected.
- the standstill function for the pressure control valve is set. This is the case in particular when the internal combustion engine is switched off. A transition between the standstill function and the normal function takes place at a start of the internal combustion engine preferably when it is determined that the internal combustion engine is running, wherein at the same time the high pressure exceeds a starting pressure value. It is therefore preferred first a certain
- Normal function for generating the high-pressure disturbance variable is driven. That the Internal combustion engine is running, can preferably be detected by the fact that a predetermined limit speed is exceeded for a predetermined time.
- An embodiment of the method is also preferred, which is characterized in that the suction throttle in the second operating mode of the protective operation is permanently opened, preferably driven to a permanently open operation. Due to the pressure regulating valve which is opened as far as possible in the second operating mode, it is possible for the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator to drop sharply. While it is then still possible in a high speed range of the internal combustion engine, nevertheless to provide sufficient high pressure for operation of the internal combustion engine, it may happen at not sufficiently open suction throttle in a medium or low speed range that the high pressure in the high-pressure accumulator drops so much that not enough fuel can be injected through the injectors. The internal combustion engine is strangled in such a case.
- the intake throttle is permanently opened in the second mode in a kind of emergency operation, in particular driven to a permanently open operation to ensure that even in the middle and low speed range of the engine enough fuel can be pumped into the high-pressure accumulator, to be able to maintain an operation of the internal combustion engine.
- a suction throttle which is normally open. Therefore, in the second operating mode, the suction throttle is preferably energized with a current that is small compared with its maximum closing current, for example 0.5 A, or not at all, ie not energized. In this case, it is in the case by not energized, maximum wide open.
- the suction throttle in the first operating mode of the protective operation is permanently opened, preferably driven to a permanently open operation, in particular not energized or only with a small current.
- the object is also achieved by providing an injection system for an internal combustion engine having the features of claim 6.
- the injection system has at least one injector and a high-pressure accumulator, the high-pressure accumulator being connected, on the one hand, to the at least one injector and, on the other hand, via a high-pressure pump with a fuel injector. Reservoir is in fluid communication.
- the high-pressure pump is a suction throttle first
- the injection system has a pressure regulating valve, via which the high-pressure accumulator is fluid-connected to the fuel reservoir.
- a control device is provided, which is operatively connected to the at least one injector, the suction throttle and the pressure regulating valve for their control.
- the injection system is characterized in that the control unit is set up to carry out a
- the injection system has a plurality of injectors, wherein it has exactly one and only one high-pressure accumulator or, alternatively, two high-pressure accumulators with which the various injectors are fluid-connected.
- High-pressure accumulator is / are formed in this case as a so-called common bar, in particular as a rail, wherein the injection system is preferably designed as a common-rail injection system.
- the suction throttle is connected upstream of the high-pressure pump, in particular upstream of the fluid, that is arranged upstream of the high-pressure pump. It is possible that the suction throttle is integrated in the high pressure pump or in a housing of the high pressure pump.
- a pressure sensor is preferably arranged, which is adapted to detect a high pressure in the high pressure accumulator and with the control unit
- control unit is operatively connected, so that the high pressure in the control unit is registered.
- the control unit is preferably set up for filtering the measured high pressure, in particular for filtering with a first, longer time constant, in order to control the pressure regulation
- Upstream of the high pressure pump and the suction throttle is preferably one
- the control unit is preferably designed as an engine control unit (ECU) of the internal combustion engine.
- ECU engine control unit
- a separate control device is provided specifically for carrying out the method.
- An embodiment of the injection system is preferred in which the
- Pressure control valve is designed normally open. This embodiment has the advantage that the pressure regulating valve, in the event that it is not driven or energized, opens a maximum wide, which allows a particularly safe and reliable operation, especially when it is dispensed with a mechanical pressure relief valve. An impermissible increase in the high pressure in the high-pressure accumulator can then be avoided if an energization of the
- Pressure control valve is not possible due to a technical error.
- the pressure control valve is formed without pressure and normally closed. It is designed so that it is closed when the pressure prevailing in the high-pressure accumulator, ie the rail pressure, is smaller than one
- the high pressure is applied to an input of the pressure regulating valve, if this is intended to be mounted on the injection system.
- the pressure regulating valve opens when the pressure applied on the input side reaches or exceeds the opening pressure value when de-energized.
- the pressure control valve on the input side is depressurized and de-energized, it is biased in a closed state, for example by means of a mechanical biasing element. If the input-side pressure reaches or exceeds the opening pressure value, and if the pressure-regulating valve is not energized, it is preferably counteracted by the force of the
- Input pressures is normally open. If the pressure control valve is energized in this state, it closes depending on the current with which it is driven. It is maximally closed when it is driven with a predetermined, maximum current value. If it is no longer energized or fails to energize, it opens completely again, where it closes when the input side pressure falls below the ⁇ ffhungstikwert.
- the opening pressure value is preferably selected to be lower than a minimum pressure achieved in a normal control operation of the injection system.
- the opening pressure value it is possible for the opening pressure value to be 850 bar. Is preferred in In this case, the starting pressure value at which when starting the internal combustion engine
- Transition from the standstill function of the pressure control valve to the normal function is made so that it is approximately of the order of the opening pressure value, preferably being chosen slightly lower to ensure that the pressure control valve is in each case activated as soon as it is reached or exceeded of
- tolerances of the pressure control valve can be taken into account. For example, it may be that the starting pressure value is selected to 600 bar.
- Pressure control valve arranged in its standstill function and thus de-energized and pressureless. It is therefore closed. Now starts the internal combustion engine, the closed pressure control valve initially allows a rapid and reliable pressure build-up in the
- High-pressure accumulator since no fuel is diverted via the pressure control valve in the fuel reservoir. Typically, the high pressure in the high pressure accumulator now first reaches the starting pressure value, whereby a transition from the standstill function in the
- Pressure control valve is no longer activated, in which case prevails at the moment of transition, a high pressure which is greater than the second pressure limit, ie in particular much larger than the ⁇ ffhungstikwert.
- the pressure control valve is normally open in this state and therefore controls by the lack of control a maximum
- the pressure regulating valve does not close again until the high pressure falls below the opening pressure value. In this way one becomes safe operation of the injection system achieved, and there is no damage or no inadmissibly high pressure to be feared.
- an injection system is preferred, which is characterized in that it is free of a mechanical pressure relief valve.
- the injection system therefore preferably has no mechanical pressure relief valve. It is possible to dispense with the mechanical pressure relief valve, since its functionality - as already explained - completely from the
- the object is finally solved by an internal combustion engine which has the features of claim 10.
- the internal combustion engine is characterized by an injection system according to one of the embodiments described above.
- the internal combustion engine is preferably designed as a reciprocating engine.
- the internal combustion engine is used to drive in particular heavy land or water vehicles, such as mine vehicles, trains, the internal combustion engine is used in a locomotive or a railcar, or ships. It is also possible to use the internal combustion engine to drive a defense vehicle, for example a tank.
- An embodiment of the internal combustion engine is preferably also stationary, for example, for stationary

- the pressure regulating valve 19 is also actuated here with the nominal volumetric flow V s , at least as long as the normal function is set by the switching element 29.
- the right side of the switching element 27 results in FIG
- the nominal volume flow Vs is calculated differently in the first operating mode of the protective mode than in the normal mode, namely via a second
- the setpoint volume flow Vs is set identical in this case with a limited output volume flow V R of a pressure regulating valve pressure regulator 41. This corresponds to the upper one
- the pressure control valve pressure regulator 41 has as
- Input is a high pressure control deviation ⁇ ⁇ , which is calculated as the difference between the desired high pressure ps and the actual high pressure pi. Further input variables of the
- Pressure control valve pressure regulator 41 are preferably a maximum flow rate V max for the Pressure control valve 19, the calculated in the calculation member 31 target volume flow Vs.ber and / or a proportional coefficient kpoRv- the pressure regulating valve pressure regulator 41 is
- Volume flow V max preferably an output of a two-dimensional curve 43, which has the pressure control valve 19 maximum permeating volume flow as a function of the high pressure, wherein the characteristic curve 43 receives as input the actual high-pressure pi.
- Output variable of the pressure regulating valve-pressure regulator 41 is an unlimited volume flow Vu, which is limited in a limiting element 45 to the maximum flow rate V max .
- the limiting element 45 finally outputs the limited nominal volume flow V R as output variable. With this as a target volume flow Vs then the pressure control valve 19 is controlled by the target volume flow Vs in the manner already described the
- Pressure control valve map 33 is supplied.
- Verbundglieds 51 fed to the other input the negative represented by a negative value of a variable MS is fed, wherein the variable MS has the value "true” when the internal combustion engine 1 is, and the value "false" when the
- the output of the first rounding member 51 also jumps from "false” to "true", so that the value of the first logical signal SIG1 becomes “true.” This value is fed back to the first estimator 49, but this does not change the fact that whose output remains "true”. Even a drop of the dynamic rail pressure pdyn below the first pressure limit pci can not change the truth value of the first logical signal SIG1. Rather, it remains “true” until the variable MS and thus also its negation change its truth value, namely when the internal combustion engine 1 no longer operates.
- the second operating mode of the protective mode is explained below:
- the second logical signal SIG2 assumes the value 1.
- the second switching element 29 is arranged in its upper switching position shown in Figure 2, thereby a standstill function for the pressure control valve 19 is set.
- the pressure control valve 19 is not activated, that is, the signal PWMDRV is set to 0. Since a normally open
- Pressure control valve 19 is used, this now permanently controls a maximum fuel flow from the high-pressure accumulator 13 into the fuel reservoir 7 from.
- the normal function for the pressure regulating valve 19 is set, as already explained, and this is controlled by means of the nominal volume flow Vs and the signal PWMDRV calculated therefrom.
- the pressure regulating valve 19 is preferably designed so that it is formed without pressure and normally closed, wherein it is further configured so that it is at a pressure applied on the input side to a
- Opening pressure value is closed, wherein it opens when the pressure applied on the input side reaches or exceeds the opening pressure value in the de-energized state.
- Opening pressure value may be, for example, 850 bar.
- the standstill function is symbolized by a first circle K 1, the normal function being symbolized at the top right with a second circle K 2.
- a first arrow PI represents a transition between the standstill function and the normal function, wherein a second arrow P2 represents a transition between the normal function and the standstill function.
- a third arrow P3 an initialization of the internal combustion engine 1 is indicated after the start, wherein the pressure control valve 19 is first initialized in the standstill function. Only when at the same time a running operation of the internal combustion engine 1 is detected and the actual high pressure p ! exceeds a starting value p St , the normal function is set for the pressure regulating valve 19 - along the arrow PI - and the standstill function is reset.
- Normal function is reset and the standstill function is set along the arrow P2 when the dynamic rail pressure pdyn exceeds a second pressure limit po 2 , or when a defect of a high pressure sensor - represented here by a logical variable HDSD - is detected, or if it is detected that the Internal combustion engine 1 is.
- the pressure control valve 19 is not activated, wherein it is in the Normal function - as explained in connection with Figure 2 - is controlled by means of the target volume flow Vs.
- Standstill function arranged so that it is pressureless and de-energized, so closed.
- Form high-pressure accumulator which eventually exceeds the starting value ps t .
- This is preferably lower than the opening pressure value of the pressure regulating valve 19, so that for this first the normal function is set before it opens.
- the pressure regulating valve 19 is activated in every case when it first opens. Since it is closed without pressure, it remains closed under control further until the actual high pressure pi also exceeds the ⁇ ffhungstikwert, wherein it then opens and is driven in the normal function, either in normal operation or in the first mode of protection operation.
- the standstill function for the pressure control valve 19 is again set. This is particularly the case when the dynamic rail pressure p d yn exceeds the second pressure limit P G2 , which is preferably selected to be greater than the first pressure limit p d and in particular has a value at which open in a conventional embodiment of the injection system, a mechanical pressure relief valve would. Since the pressure control valve 19 is normally open under pressure, this opens completely in the standstill function in this case and so safely and reliably fulfills the function of a pressure relief valve.
- the transition from the normal function to the standstill function also occurs when a defect in the high pressure sensor 23 is detected. If there is a defect here, the high pressure in the high-pressure accumulator 13 can no longer be regulated. In order to still operate safely the internal combustion engine 1, the transition from the normal function in the
- Standstill function for the pressure control valve 19 brought about, so this opens and thus prevents an impermissible increase in the high pressure. Furthermore, the transition from the normal function to the standstill function in a case in which a stoppage of the internal combustion engine 1 is detected. This corresponds to a reset of the pressure control valve 19, so that when a restart of the internal combustion engine 1 of the cycle described here can start again.
- the pressure control valve 19 - unlike in the prior art - has only two states, namely the standstill function and the normal function, these two states are fully sufficient to the entire relevant functionality of the pressure control valve 19 including the protective function for replacing a mechanical Represent overpressure valve.
- Fig. 5 shows a schematic representation of the pressure regulating valve pressure regulator 41, which is designed here as P ⁇ DT ⁇ pressure regulator. It turns out that the output Vu of the
- Pressure control valve pressure regulator 41 consists of three summed controller shares, namely a proportional share A P , an integral portion Ai, and a differential share ADTI- These three shares are in a summation point 53 to each other to the unlimited
- the proportional component A P represents the product of the control deviation ⁇ multiplied by the value -1 in a multiplication point 55
- the integrating component ⁇ ⁇ results from the sum of two summands.
- the first addend is the current integral component A t delayed by one sampling step T a .
- the second summand is the product of an amplification factor T2 DRV and the sum of the current control deviation ⁇ ⁇ delayed by one sampling step, multiplied again by the factor -1 in the multiplication point 55.
- the sum of both summands is limited to the maximum volume flow V max in a limiting element 57.
- the amplification factor T2 DRV is calculated according to the following formula, in which tnoRv is a reset time: " _ 64 kp DRV T a .
- the integrating component Ai depends on whether the dynamic rail pressure pdyn has first reached the first pressure limit P GI after the start of the internal combustion engine 1. If this is the case, the first logic signal SIG1 assumes the value "true", and a switching element 59 shown in Figure 5 switches to its lower switch position In this switch position, the integrating component Ai is identical to the output signal of the limiting element 57, that is the integrating component Ai is limited to the maximum volume flow V max . If a standstill of the internal combustion engine 1 is detected, the first logical signal SIG1 assumes the value "false", as already explained in connection with FIG. 3, and the switching element 59 changes to its upper switch position. The integrating component Ai is set in this case to the calculated volume flow Vs, t > er. Thus, the calculated target volumetric flow s.ber the initialization value of the integrating portion A ⁇ represents in the case that the
- Pressure control valve pressure regulator 41 is activated when the dynamic rail pressure p ⁇ iyn exceeds the first pressure limit p d .
- the calculation of the differential component A DTI is shown in the lower part of FIG. This share is the sum of two products.
- the first product results from a multiplication of the factor T4 DRV by the one-sample delayed differential component A DT1 .
- the second product results from the multiplication of the factor T3 D RV with the difference of the control deviation e p multiplied by the factor -1 and the control deviation ⁇ delayed accordingly by one sampling step and multiplied by the factor -1.
- the factor T3 DRV is calculated according to the following equation, in which tvoRv a
- Lead time and tlo R v is a delay time:
- the factor T4 DRV is calculated according to the following equation:
- the gain factors T2DRV and T3DRV depend on the proportional coefficient kp DR v.
- the gain factor T2DRV additionally depends on the reset time ÜI D RV, the gain factor T3DRV on the derivative time tv DR v and the delay time Ü DRV.
- the amplification factor r4 DR v also depends on the delay time Ü DRV.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic representation of a logic for calculating the value of a third logic signal SIG3 which is used to ensure that in the first and in the second operating mode of the protective operation, the suction throttle 9 is actuated to a permanently open operation. This procedure will be explained in more detail in connection with FIG. The value of the third logical signal SIG3 results from a second one
- the third logical signal SIG3 is initially initialized with the value "false" at the start of the internal combustion engine 1.
- the result of a second comparator element 65 in which it is checked whether the dynamic air pressure pa yn is greater than or equal to a first input of a second Veroderungsglieds 63 same as the first
- Comparator element 65 or the comparison element 67 assumes the value "true.” So that the output of the second Verologungsglieds 63 assumes the value "true”, at least one of the following conditions must be satisfied: The dynamic pressure p ⁇ jyn must be the first
- the output of the second Verologungsglieds 63 enters a first input of a third Veroderungsglieds 69, in whose second input the value of the third logical signal SIG3 received. Since this is originally initialized with the value "false", the output of the third Verert réellesglieds 69 the value "false” until the output of the second If this is the case, then the output of the third Verologungsglieds 69 jumps to the value "true".
- suction throttle 9 is to be opened permanently only in the second operating mode of the protective operation, this can be achieved by using the second pressure limit value po 2 instead of the first pressure limit value p 0 in the second comparator element 65 and comparing it with the dynamic rail pressure p dyn.
- FIG. 7 shows a schematic representation of the first high-pressure control loop 25 including a switching element 71 for displaying the permanently opened operation of the suction throttle 9 in the first and second operating modes of the protective operation, wherein the third logic signal SIG3 is received in the switching element 71 for its control, the calculation thereof has been described in connection with FIG. It is possible that the switching element 71 is designed as a software switch, ie as a purely virtual switch, as already described in connection with FIGS
- Switching elements 27, 29 has been described.
- the switching element 71 is formed as an actual switch, for example as a relay.
- an input variable of the high pressure control loop 25 is the desired high pressure ps, which is compared with the actual high pressure pi for calculating the control deviation ep.
- This control deviation ⁇ ⁇ is an input variable of a high-pressure regulator 73, preferably as is executed.
- Another input variable of the high-pressure regulator 73 is preferably a proportional coefficient kpsD output variable of the high-pressure regulator 73 is a
- This nominal fuel consumption VQ is calculated in a calculation element 77 as a function of the rotational speed ni and the desired injection quantity Q s and represents a disturbance variable of the first high-pressure control loop 25.
- the sum of the output variable V S D of the high-pressure regulator 73 and the disturbance variable VQ results an unlimited fuel nominal volume flow VU.SD- This is in a limiting element 79 in
- This suction throttle setpoint current I S , SD represents the input variable of a suction throttle current regulator 83, which has the task of regulating the suction throttle flow through the suction throttle 9.
- Input variable of the suction throttle current regulator 83 is inter alia an actual suction throttle current I ⁇ SD - output variable of the suction throttle current regulator 83 is a suction throttle target voltage U S. SD , which finally in a calculation element 85 in a conventional manner in a
- Duty cycle of a pulse width modulated signal PWMSD for the suction throttle 9 is converted.
- the suction throttle is controlled, the signal thus acts on a total of a controlled system 87, which in particular the suction throttle 9, the high-pressure pump 11, and the high-pressure accumulator 13 has.
- the Saugdrosselstrom is measured, resulting in a raw measurement I R, SD , which is filtered in a current filter 89.
- the power filter 89 is
- Output variable of this filter is the actual intake throttle flow I ⁇ SD , which in turn is the Saugdrossel current regulator 83 is supplied.
- the controlled variable of the first high pressure control loop 25 is the high pressure in the
- High-pressure accumulator 13 Raw values of this high-pressure p are measured by the high-pressure sensor 23 and filtered by a first high-pressure filter element 91, which has the actual high-pressure pi as output variable. In addition, the raw values of the high pressure p are filtered by a second high pressure filter element 93 whose output is the dynamic rail pressure pdyn. Both filters are preferably implemented by a PTj algorithm, with a
- Time constant of the first high pressure filter element 91 is greater than a time constant of the second high pressure filter element 93.
- the second high pressure filter element 93 is formed as a faster filter than the first high pressure filter element 91.
- the time constant of the second high-pressure filter element 93 can also be identical to the value zero, so that then the dynamic rail pressure pdyn corresponds to the measured raw values of the high pressure p or is identical to these. With the dynamic rail pressure pdyn is thus one high dynamic value for the high pressure before, which in particular is always needed when a rapid response to certain events occurring must occur.
- the suction throttle target current I S, SD is no longer identical to the characteristic Suction inductor current I KL, SD , but rather is equated with a suction throttle emergency current I N, SD
- the suction throttle emergency power I N, SD preferably has a predetermined, constant value, for example 0 A, in which case the preferably normally open suction throttle 9 is opened at most wide, or he has a small compared to a maximum closed position of the suction throttle 9 current value,
- the intake throttle emergency power I NISD and the associated opening of the intake throttle 9 reliably prevents the internal combustion engine 1 from stopping when operated in the second operating mode of the protection operation with the pressure control valve 19 open to the maximum.
- the opening of the suction throttle 9 thereby causes that even in a medium to low speed range still sufficient fuel can be promoted in the high-pressure accumulator 13, so that operation of the internal combustion engine 1 without stalling is possible.
- a double control of the high pressure on the one hand via the suction throttle and on the other hand via the pressure control valve is prevented in this way.
- Internal combustion engine 1 is possible to perform a stable pressure control even when the first high-pressure control circuit 25 can no longer take over the pressure control, and alternatively or additionally, a mechanical pressure relief valve can be saved because its functionality is taken over by the pressure control valve 19.
