Example

1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for detecting an abnormality of an injector according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the injector abnormality detection device 100 includes a keypad 102, a start on / off switch unit 104, a display unit 106, an injector detection unit 107, and an injector unit 108. ) And the control unit 110.

First, the key pad unit 102 applies an abnormality detection signal of the injector unit 108 or a cleaning signal of the injector unit 108 to the controller 110 according to a user's operation, and then starts the on / off switch unit 104. ) Applies a start-on signal to the control unit 110 as the start key is moved to the start-on (ie, IG) position by the user, and the display unit 106 injects the 108 in accordance with the control signal. The abnormality or the cleaning mode of the injector unit 108 is displayed, and the injector detecting unit 107 detects the fuel pressure of the injector unit 108 when at least one nozzle is turned on.

Meanwhile, the controller 110 sequentially turns on / off the nozzles of the at least one injector unit 108 for a predetermined time in response to the abnormality detection signal of the injector unit 108 of the keypad 102, and accordingly When the fuel pressure of the injector unit 108 is received from the injector detecting unit 107 to check whether the fuel pressure drop occurs in the injector unit 108, and when the fuel pressure drop does not occur in the injector unit 108. The abnormal control signal of the injector unit 108 is applied to the display unit 106.

In addition, the controller 110 performs cleaning on the nozzles of the at least one injector unit 108 according to the cleaning signal of the injector unit 108 of the keypad 102, and then again, the at least one or more injector unit 108. After sequentially turning on / off the nozzles for a predetermined time, the fuel pressure of the injector unit 108 is received from the injector detecting unit 107 accordingly to check whether the fuel pressure drop occurs in the injector unit 108, and the injector When the fuel pressure drop does not occur in the unit 108, the abnormal control signal of the injector unit 108 is applied to the display unit 106.

Here, the cleaning of the nozzles of the at least one injector unit 108 is performed on the nozzles of the injector unit 108 sequentially for a predetermined time, for example, for a predetermined time of 4 to 6 seconds according to the control signal of the controller 110. The cleaning is performed by turning on / off the fuel pressure of the injector unit 108.

In addition, the controller 110 may provide information corresponding to an abnormal nozzle at a predetermined time interval, for example, when there is an abnormality of at least one nozzle in which the fuel pressure drop of the injector unit 108 does not occur as the nozzle is turned on / off. After display by the display unit 106 at a predetermined time interval of 2 to 4 seconds, information corresponding to a nozzle that is longer than a predetermined time (for example, 1 to 3 seconds) is displayed at a predetermined time interval. To display.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of detecting an injector abnormality according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the injector abnormality diagnosis apparatus 100, when the oxygen detector detects the oxygen concentration of the fuel and measures the amount of fuel actually injected, the controller 110 detects the oxygen detector. After correcting the fuel amount by calculating the difference between the fuel amount and the predetermined target amount, the corrected fuel amount information is stored in the storage means.

Thus, when at least one nozzle of the injector unit 108 is clogged, the injected fuel amount becomes small, and thus the corrected fuel amount becomes large.

 The start on / off switching unit 104 applies a key on (ie, IG state) signal to the controller 110 to detect an abnormality of the injector unit 108 by a user's operation, The pad unit 102 applies an injector abnormality detection signal to the controller 110 by a user's manipulation.

Here, the key on signal is a signal of a start On position (that is, an IG state) before the start of the vehicle is started.

At this time, the control unit 110 receives an injector abnormality detection signal from the keypad 102 (S200), and the control signal for sequentially turning on / off at least one injector nozzle to the injector 108 for a predetermined time. Apply.

Accordingly, the injector nozzles of the injector unit 108 are sequentially turned on / off for a predetermined time in accordance with the control signal of the control unit 110 (S201).

Herein, the predetermined time is preferably 4 to 6 seconds.

In addition, when the control unit 110 applies a control signal for detecting the fuel pressure of the injector unit 108 to the injector detecting unit 107, the injector detecting unit 107 may be configured as at least one injector nozzle is turned on / off. The fuel pressure of the injector unit 108 is sensed and applied to the control unit 110.

Thus, the control unit 110 receives fuel pressure information corresponding to at least one injector nozzle is turned on from the injector detecting unit 107 (S202) and confirms the drop of the fuel pressure (S203).

If there is no drop in fuel pressure as a result of the check in step S203, the controller 110 recognizes that there is an abnormality in at least one or more injector nozzles, and applies the abnormal control signal to the display unit 106 accordingly. .

At this time, the display unit 106 displays the abnormality information corresponding to the abnormality of the injector unit 108, that is, the nozzle of the abnormal injector unit 108 according to the abnormality control signal of the controller 110 (S204).

In detail, when the nozzle of the abnormal injector unit 108 is four times, four times are displayed at predetermined time intervals, for example, 2 to 4 seconds, and the nozzles of the third and sixth injector units 108 are abnormal. In this case, three times are displayed at a predetermined time, for example, 2 to 4 seconds, and then six times are displayed at a predetermined time (for example, 2 to 4) after a predetermined time (for example, 1 to 3 seconds).

In this state, when the control unit 110 receives the injector cleaning signal from the key pad unit 102, the control unit 110 turns on / off the injector nozzle of the injector unit 108 to remove foreign substances in the injector nozzle by the pressure of the fuel. It performs (S205).

Thereafter, the controller 110 displays the injector cleaning mode through the display 106.

In addition, even when the injector unit 108 is cleaned several times, when the injector abnormality information is displayed on the display unit 106, the injector unit 108 prints that there is an abnormality and the injector unit 108 at an appropriate time. Can be replaced to improve the reliability of the engine.

If there is a drop in fuel pressure as a result of the check in the above step (S203), the controller 110 recognizes that there is no abnormality for at least one or more injector nozzles and accordingly applies a no abnormality control signal to the display unit 106. In operation S206, the display unit 106 displays no abnormality of the injector.

The above description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may make various modifications and changes without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are not intended to limit the technical idea of the present invention but to describe the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. The protection scope of the present invention should be interpreted by the following claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
