Description

1 2276917 Internal combustion engine with automatic gearbox control and
mechanical injection pump governor The invention relates to an internal combustion engine with automatic gearbox control and a mechanical injection pump governor with a pressure capsule, which depends on boost pressure and/or atmospheric pressure.
Such an internal combustion engine with automatic gearbox and with a control device for determining the delivery quantity is known from the Mercedes-Benz "Einfiffirungsschrift. ftir den Kundendienst, Neuerungen Personenwagen 6.91, Modelljahr 92, [Introductory information for aftersales service personnel; new features on cars 6.91, model range 192], page 32 in which the rotational speed governor, which is controlled by centrifugal force, has a pressure capsule which is in engagement with the governor linkage and acts on a delivery quantity adjusting element of the injection pump as a function of the boost pressure and also as a function of the atmospheric pressure in order to influence the quantity. The pressure capsule is connected to the induction manifold by means of a pressure conduit.
Furthermore, a pressure sensor is in connection with the pressure conduit and the pressure signals recorded by it are input into an electronic control unit where they are processed with further operating parameters and act as control signals for the activation of the exhaust gas recycling.
In internal combustion engines embodied in this way with automatic gearbox control, undesirably high and therefore critical differential rotational speeds can occur at the gear-changing elements, for example between a sun wheel and a brake band. These lead to functional impairment and, in the worst case, to destruction of the gearbox, particularly in those cases where, when changing from the "idle" position or "park" position, an excessively high engine torque, which the gearbox cannot handle, is applied to the automatic gearbox.
2 The present invention seeks to obviate the disadvantages described by simple means and thereby to increase the life of the automatic gearbox.
According to the present invention there is provided an internal combustion engine with an automatic gearbox and a mechanical injection pump governor with a pressure capsule responsive to a boost pressure and/or atmospheric pressure, and, with a pressure sensor adapted to sense the pressure in the pressure capsule to generate a signal which is supplied to a control unit, wherein a vacuum connection adapted to be connected to the pressure capsule in the case of unacceptably high torques of the internal combustion engine, is provided with an electric switching valve which is adapted to be activated by the control unit.
Critical differential rotational speed variations occurring at the automatic gearbox can be suppressed in good time or obviated in a simple manner by the measure according to the invention by means of a controlled vacuum-operated actuation intervention at the pressure capsule, which depends on boost pressure and/or atmospheric pressure.
In one preferred embodiment, a branch conduit leading to the pressure sensor branches off from a conduit section of the pressure conduit connecting the electric switching valve to the pressure capsule. In this case, the pressure sensor is connected by a short path to the quantitydetermining system of a supercharged internal combustion engine, which has the advantage of direct association with the injection pump, and therefore with the engine torque, and permits more rapid influence on the automatic gearbox as compared with another embodiment, in which the pressure sensor is arranged at the induction end, namely between the electrical switching valve and the induction manifold.
In another preferred embodiment, suitable for naturally aspirated engines, with a pressure capsule dependent on atmospheric pressure, the electric switching valve is only arranged in the vacuum connection and is adapted to be transferred into a vent position from a switching position if 3 corresponding to the vacuum connection.
Three embodiments of the invention will now described in more detail below with reference to the drawings in which:Fig. I shows, in a diagrammatic representation, the subject-matter of the invention for a supercharged internal combustion engine, Fig. 2 shows, in a diagrammatic representation, another embodiment in accordance with the invention, likewise for a supercharged internal combustion engine, Fig. 3 shows, in a diagrammatic representation, a further embodiment in accordance with the invention for a naturally induced internal combustion engine.
Fig. 1 shows a supercharged internal combustion engine I with an automatic gearbox 2 and an in-line injection pump 3 whose mechanical injection pump governor 4 has a pressure capsule 5, which depends on boost pressure and atmospheric pressure and is connected to the induction manifold 7 of the internal combustion engine 1 by means of a pressure conduit 6.
An auxiliary conduit 9 leading to a pressure sensor 8 branches off from the pressure conduit 6, specifically in the vicinity of the induction manifold 7. The pressure signals recorded by the pressure sensor 8, together with signals from an accelerator pedal pick-up 10 and signals from a rotational speed sensor 11, are input into an electronic control unit 12 whose processed output signals are used for activating the automatic gearbox 2 and for activating an electric switching valve 13, which is configured as a 3/2-way valve and is connected in an intermediate position in the pressure conduit 6.
In uncritical torque ranges, the electric switching valve 13 is switched to transmission depending on boost pressure. In this switching position, therefore, the pressure capsule 5 operates as a function of boost pressure. As soon as an engine torque is reached which the automatic gearbox can no longer handle,, however, the electric switching valve 13, 4 which is activated by the control unit 12, switches over and the connection to the induction manifold 7 is interrupted and, simultaneously, a torque-reducing connection is made between the pressure capsule 5 and a vacuum connection 14.
The vacuum connection 14 can be connected to an existing vacuum pump 15, which is used for supporting the braking force on the vehicle.
In Fig. 2, a pressure conduit arrangement f or an internal combustion engine 1 which is operated with boost pressure is employed. In this, a branch conduit 16 connected to the pressure sensor 8 leads away f rom a conduit section 6a located between the electric switching valve 13, which is a 3/2-way valve, and the pressure capsule 5.
Fig. 3 shows a conduit arrangement for a naturally induced engine. The pressure capsule 5 on the injection pump governor 4 operates as a function of atmospheric pressure only and is connected to the control unit 12, in which the atmospheric pressure pick-up is integrated (not shown), by a vacuum conduit 17.
The vacuum connection 14 connects the pressure capsule 5 to the vacuum pump 15 with the electric switching valve 13 connected between them. This electric switching valve 13, which is a 3/2-way valve, is switched by the control unit 12 from a ventilation position or atmospheric pressure position to "transmission" depending on vacuum when critical engine torque regions occur.
Because of the vacuum acting on the pressure capsule 5, there is an intervention in the governor linkage which reduces quantity and therefore torque and, finally, an intervention on the delivery quantity adjusting element of the fuel injection pump 3.
P claims 1. An internal combustion engine with an automatic gearbox and a mechanical injection pump governor with a pressure capsule responsive to a boost pressure and/or atmospheric pressure, and, with a pressure sensor adapted to sense the pressure in the pressure capsule to generate a signal which is supplied to a control unit, wherein a vacuum connection adapted to be connected to the pressure capsule in the case of unacceptably high torques of the internal combustion engine, is provided with an electric switching valve which is adapted to be activated by the control unit.
