Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Brennkraftmaschine mit den Merkmalen aus dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie ein Verfahren zur Erkennung einer Leckage von einem Kurbelgehäuse- und/oder einem Tank-Entlüftungssystem mit den Merkmalen aus dem Patentanspruch 6.
Zum technischen Umfeld wird beispielsweise auf die deutsche Offenlegungsschrift
Da ein Defekt des Tank-Entlüftungssystems und/oder des Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungssystems zum Entweichen von unverbrannten Kohlenwasserstoffen in die Umgebung führt, sind in den meisten Staaten bereits seit längerem Diagnoseverfahren gesetzlich vorgeschrieben, mit denen sich die ordnungsgemäße Funktion des Tank-Entlüftungssystems und/oder des Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungssystems diagnostizieren lässt, so dass sich eine zum Entweichen von unverbrannten Kohlenwasserstoff führende Störung frühzeitig erkennen und beheben lässt. Darüber hinaus fordert jedoch das California Air Ressource Board (CARB) bei Brennkraftmaschinen mit einem Abgasturbolader nunmehr auch noch eine zusätzliche Überwachung der Einleitstellen, an denen die Tank-Entlüftungsgase und die Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungsgase in die Ansaugluftleitung eingeleitet werden. Damit soll verhindert werden, dass es in Folge des Lösens der Verbindungen an den Anschlussstellen oder einer Leckage zu einer unerwünschten Schadstoffemission von unverbrannten Kohlenwasserstoffen in die Umgebung kommt. Während die Überwachung der Anschlussstellen der Tank- und/oder Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungsleitung und der Leitungen, die hinter der Drosselklappe in die Ansaugluftleitung münden und im Saugbetrieb zur Zufuhr der Entlüftungsgase in die Ansaugluftleitung dienen, keine Probleme bereitet, lässt sich die Anschlussstelle vor dem Verdichter des Abgasturboladers in die Ansaugluftleitung mündenden Tank- und/oder Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungsleitung oder Leitungen, durch welche die Entlüftungsgase im Ladedruckbetrieb in die Ansaugluftleitung eingeleitet werden, abhängig von der Sensorik und der Konstruktion nur schwer überwachen.The invention relates to an internal combustion engine with the features of the preamble of
The technical environment, for example, the German
Since a failure of the tank venting system and / or the crankcase ventilation system leads to the escape of unburned hydrocarbons in the environment, in most countries have long been required by law diagnostic procedures, with which can be used to diagnose the proper functioning of the tank venting system and / or the crankcase ventilation system so that a disturbance leading to the escape of unburned hydrocarbon can be detected and remedied at an early stage. In addition, however, the California Air Resource Board (CARB) in internal combustion engines with an exhaust gas turbocharger now also requires additional monitoring of the discharge points at which the tank venting gases and the crankcase venting gases are introduced into the intake air line. This is to prevent that it comes as a result of the release of the compounds at the connection points or leakage to an undesirable pollutant emission of unburned hydrocarbons in the environment. While the monitoring of the connection points of the tank and / or crankcase ventilation line and the lines that open behind the throttle in the intake air line and serve in suction for supplying the venting gases in the intake air line, no problems, can be the connection point in front of the compressor Exhaust gas turbocharger opening into the intake air line tank and / or crankcase ventilation line or lines through which the vent gases are introduced in the boost pressure operation in the intake air, depending on the sensor and the construction difficult to monitor.
Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Brennkraftmaschine aufzuzeigen, mit der einfach und kostengünstig eine Leckage eines Kurbelgehäuse- und/oder eines Tank-Entlüftungssystems erkannt werden kann.Based on this prior art, the present invention has the object to show an internal combustion engine, with a simple and inexpensive leakage of a crankcase and / or a tank-venting system can be detected.

So ist es mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung der Brennkraftmaschine gemäß Patentanspruch 1 möglich, mit nur einem einzigen Sensor, einen Drucksensor, eine Leckage in einem Kurbelgehäuse- und/oder einem Tank-Entlüftungssystem zu detektieren.Thus, it is possible with the inventive design of the internal combustion engine according to
Somit können die Anforderungen bezüglich der Schadstoffemissionen, insbesondere der Kohlenwasserstoffemissionen (HC-Emissionen), problemlos erfüllt werden. In vorteilhafter Weise wird, wie bereits dargestellt, nur ein einziger Drucksensor zur Diagnose/Leckage-Erkennung des Kurbelgehäuse- und/oder des Tank-Entlüftungssystems benötigt.Thus, the requirements for the pollutant emissions, in particular the hydrocarbon emissions (HC emissions) can be easily met. Advantageously, as already described, only a single pressure sensor for diagnosis / leakage detection of the crankcase and / or the tank ventilation system is needed.
Mit der Ausgestaltung in Patentanspruch 2 ist es möglich, den Leckageort exakt zu definieren, ob sich die Leckage im Kurbelgehäuse-Entlüftungssystem oder in dem Tank-Entlüftungssystem befindet.With the embodiment in
Bevorzugt wird für die Detektion einer Leckage gemäß Patentanspruch 3 ein Diagnosegerät vorgesehen. Hierbei kann es sich auch um ein elektronisches Steuergerät handeln.Preferably, a diagnostic device is provided for the detection of a leakage according to claim 3. This may also be an electronic control unit.

characterised in that a second pressure sensor (19) is provided in the second partial line (11') or the fourth line (14). - An internal combustion engine according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, characterised in that a diagnostic unit (20) is provided for pressure evaluation of the pressure sensors (18, 19).
- An internal combustion engine according to one of Claims 1 to 3, characterised in that a tank vent valve (22) is provided in the first line (8) between a tank (21) and the first and the second non-return valve (7, 9).
- An internal combustion engine according to one of Claims 1 to 4, characterised in that a second throttle element is provided between the fourth non-return valve (12) and the fourth line (14).
- A method for detecting a leak from the crankcase and/or the tank ventilation system according to one of Claims 1 to 5,
characterised by the following method steps:- starting the internal combustion engine (1),- measuring a first sensor pressure using the first pressure sensor (18),- comparing the first sensor pressure with a first model pressure using the diagnostic unit (20),- evaluating whether or not the sensor pressure deviates from the model pressure,- if the sensor pressure does not deviate from the model pressure, no fault signal is emitted by the diagnostic unit (20),- if the sensor pressure deviates from the model pressure, a fault signal is emitted by the diagnostic unit (20). - A method according to Claim 6,
characterised by the following method steps:- measuring the first and a second sensor pressure using the first pressure sensor (18) and the second pressure sensor (19),- comparing the first and the second sensor pressure with a first and a second model pressure using the diagnostic unit (20),- evaluating whether or not a sensor pressure deviates from the model pressure,- if the first sensor pressure deviates from the first model pressure and the second sensor pressure deviates from the second model pressure, a fault signal is emitted by the diagnostic unit (20) leakage in the crankcase ventilation system (6). - A method according to Claim 6,
characterised by the following method steps:- measuring the first and the second sensor pressure using the first pressure sensor (18) and the second pressure sensor (19),- comparing the first and the second sensor pressure with a first and a second model pressure using the diagnostic unit (20),- evaluating whether or not a sensor pressure deviates from the model pressure,- if the first sensor pressure deviates from the first model pressure and the second sensor pressure does not deviate from the second model pressure, a fault signal is emitted by the diagnostic unit (2) leakage in the tank ventilation system (5).
