Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for leak testing a tank system of a vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a method can be seen, for example, from DE 196 36 431 AI or from DE 198 09 384 AI.
- a fine leak test is carried out by first pumping against the reference leak of approximately 0.5 mm in diameter. The reference current required for this is measured. The tank system is then pumped up until a current level is reached that is greater than or equal to the reference current when the tank is tight. If this current level is not reached after a predetermined time or if there is no longer a positive current gradient below this current level, the pumping is stopped and the reference current is measured again. If it is confirmed that this is still above the pump current level reached, it is concluded that there is a fine leak in the range of 0.5 to 1 mm.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a method of the generic type in such a way that it can be used under practically all ambient conditions and influences, in particular also under ambient humidity.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in a method for testing the functionality of a tank system of the type described in the introduction by the features of claim 1.
- the basic idea of the invention is to extend the leak test if a leak is inferred in order to obtain more precise information or, if necessary, a confirmation as to whether or indeed there is a leak. If a leak is suspected of a gross leak or a fine leak during a leak test, the test is not ended with an error message, but extended.
- the tank is pumped up so long that the pumping time is certainly sufficient to reach the same pressure level with a tight tank as when pumping against the reference leak.
- the pump is then briefly pumped against the reference leak, so that between the Reference measurement and the tank measurement is only a short period of time. It is very unlikely that significant drifts will occur within this time interval. Even if there is a drift in the tank measurement during the extended leak test, for example the current requirement of the pump drops, this is compensated for by the comparison with the subsequent reference measurement.
- a further leak test comprising a further reference measurement and a further tere tank measurement over an extended further time interval, ie carried out over an extended pumping time and only issues an error message if the further reference measurement deviates from the further tank measurement by a predeterminable value even after this extended time interval has expired.
- the further reference measurement and the further tank measurement are advantageously carried out in a later driving cycle of the vehicle.
- the operating parameters are the pump current, i.e. the current consumption of the pump of the pressure source as well as the speed of the pump and / or the voltage applied to the pump in question.
- the error message "leak” is only output if the current measured during the tank measurement is smaller than the current measured during the reference measurement, in other words if the tank measurement from the reference measurement by a negative value of the pump - current deviates.
- the reference leak can, for example, be arranged parallel to the tank system, but it can also be simulated in another embodiment by controlled partial opening of the tank ventilation valve.
- FIG. 1 shows a tank system known from the prior art, in which the method making use of the invention is used
- Fig. 2 shows the characteristic time course of the motor current of the pressure pump of the tank system shown in Fig. 1 in different operating conditions.
- a tank system of a motor vehicle known from the prior art, shown in FIG. 1, comprises a tank 10, an adsorption filter 20, for example an activated carbon filter, which is connected to the tank 10 via a tank connection line 12 and has a ventilation line 22 which can be connected to the environment , and a tank ventilation valve 30, which is connected on the one hand to the adsorption filter 20 via a valve line 24 and on the other hand to a suction pipe 40 of an internal combustion engine (not shown) via a valve line 42. Evaporation produces hydrocarbons in the tank 10, which accumulate in the adsorption filter 20.
- adsorption filter 20 for example an activated carbon filter
- the tank ventilation valve 30 is opened, so that air from the atmosphere is sucked through the adsorption filter 20 due to the negative pressure prevailing in the intake pipe 40, as a result of which the hydrocarbons accumulated in the adsorption filter 20 are sucked into the intake pipe 40 and fed to the internal combustion engine.
- a pump 50 is provided which is connected to a circuit unit 60.
- a switch valve 70 is connected downstream of the pump 50, for example in the form of a 3/2-way valve.
- a reference leak 81 is arranged in a separate branch 80. The size of the reference leak 81 is selected such that it corresponds to the size of the leak to be detected, for example it is 0.5 mm.
- the reference leak 81 can, for example, also be part of the changeover valve 70, for example due to a channel narrowing or the like, so that in this case an additional reference part can be omitted (not shown).
- the pump 50 is actuated and an alternating pressure is introduced into the tank system and - by switching the valve 70 - into the reference leak 81.
- the pump Current i m which drops via a resistor R M , is detected and fed to the circuit unit 60.
- the curve designated b) in FIG. 2 corresponds to the curve over time of the motor current of a functional tank system without leakage.
- the changeover valve 70 is in the position shown by I in FIG. 1. In this position of the changeover valve 70, a delivery flow through the pressure source 50 is introduced into the tank system via the reference leak 80.
- a motor current i m which is essentially constant over time, is established, as is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
- the pressure source 50 acts on the tank system with an overpressure.
- the motor current i m first decreases rapidly and then increases continuously with increasing time until it reaches a value which is greater than or equal to the motor current i m in the position I of the changeover valve 70. Instead, one would be in the reference position all the time measure, the result would be the essentially constant, dotted line labeled a) in FIG. 2 without the influence of interference.
- the motor current of the pump has not yet reached the value of the reference measurement after this time ti (as shown in FIG. 2 using the curve denoted by d), or it is determined after the time ti that the motor current of the tank measurement no longer increases , although it is still below the value of the reference measurement, there is suspicion of a fine leak. If a missing gradient has given rise to this suspicion and a time tg e ⁇ has not yet been reached, the pumping continues until the total pumping time tges is reached, which can be selected depending on the tank fill level.
- the motor current of the pump (pump current) reached at time t tot is measured and stored, for example, as ie n d.
- the fine leak test described above can be preceded by a rough leak test, which is essentially equivalent to the fine leak test described.
- This rough leak check includes the following steps, for example:
- the basic idea and advantage of the present invention is that if a leak is suspected due to a tank measurement and a reference measurement, an extended tank measurement and after this extended tank measurement has expired, a reference measurement is carried out immediately and only after a comparison between this reference measurement and the extended tank measurement and if the tank measurement deviates an error message is output from this renewed reference measurement by a predeterminable value. In this way, drifts in the pump flow, for example caused by moisture influences or other environmental influences, can be eliminated during the leak test.
