Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Bestimmung einer Viskosität eines Motoröles in einem Fahrzeug.The The invention relates to a method and a device for determination a viscosity a motor oil in a vehicle.
Um den sicheren und verschleißarmen Betrieb eines Verbrennungsmotors in einem Fahrzeug sicherzustellen, ist ein Wechsel des Motoröls erforderlich, wenn dessen Qualität infolge von im Gebrauch auftretendem erhöhten Gehalt an Ruß, Wasser und Kraftstoff eine bestimmte Schwelle unterschreitet. Bislang werden als einfache Kriterien für den Zustand des Motoröls im Wesentlichen seit dem vorhergehenden Ölwechsel zurückgelegte Fahrstrecke oder die seitdem vergangene Zeit genutzt. Durch unterschiedliche Nutzungsbedingungen und klimatische Einflüsse kann der tatsächliche Zustand des Motoröls jedoch einen vorzeitigen Ölwechsel erfordern oder einen späteren Ölwechsel ermöglichen. Voraussetzung dafür ist eine Erkennung der Ölqualität möglichst im laufenden Betrieb. Ein Hauptmerkmal der Ölqualität ist die Viskosität.Around the safe and low-wear To ensure operation of an internal combustion engine in a vehicle is a change of engine oil required if its quality as a result of increased levels of carbon black, water occurring in use and fuel falls below a certain threshold. So far as simple criteria for the Condition of the engine oil essentially covered since the previous oil change Route or the time since then used. By different Terms of use and climatic influences may be the actual Condition of the engine oil however, a premature oil change require or a later oil change enable. requirement for that is a detection of the oil quality as possible in operation. A key feature of the oil quality is the viscosity.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.advantageous Embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren zur Bestimmung einer Viskosität eines Motoröles in einem Fahrzeug mit einem Verbrennungsmotor wird ein Füllstand des Motoröles in einem Behälter, insbesondere in einer Ölwanne mittels eines Füllstandssensors kontinuierlich oder zyklisch erfasst und an eine Auswerteeinheit übermittelt. Diese speichert Füllstandswerte eines begrenzten zurückliegenden Zeitraums und identifiziert mittels mindestens eines weiteren Sensors Fahrzeugzustandsänderungen. Solche Fahrzeugzustandsänderungen sind unter anderem "Anfahren aus dem Stand", "Anhalten" und/oder "Verbrennungsmotor abstellen". Tritt eine dieser Fahrzeugzustandsänderungen auf, wird aus einem zeitlich anschließen den und/oder vorangegangenen Verlauf des Füllstandes eine Viskositätszahl VZ ermittelt. Anhand der so ermittelten Viskosität des Motoröles lässt sich eine verlässliche Aussage über dessen Qualität treffen, so dass ein Ölwechselintervall entsprechend angepasst werden kann. Macht die ermittelte Qualität des Motoröls ein verkürztes Ölwechselintervall notwendig, lässt sich so eine Beschädigung des Verbrennungsmotors infolge mangelnder Ölqualität vermeiden. Kann das Ölwechselintervall wegen einer länger anhaltend hohen Ölqualität hingegen verlängert werden, führt dies zu Kostenersparnis und geringerer Umweltbelastung.at a method according to the invention for determining a viscosity a motor oil in a vehicle with an internal combustion engine becomes a level of the engine oil in a container, especially in an oil pan by means of a level sensor recorded continuously or cyclically and transmitted to an evaluation unit. This stores level values a limited past period and identifies vehicle state changes by means of at least one other sensor. Such Vehicle condition changes are among other things "starting out of state "," stop "and / or" internal combustion engine turn off. " one of these vehicle state changes on, will be from a temporal join and / or previous Course of the level a viscosity number VZ determined. On the basis of the thus determined viscosity of the engine oil can be a reliable Statement about his quality meet, leaving an oil change interval can be adjusted accordingly. The determined quality of the engine oil makes a shortened oil change interval necessary, lets such a damage of the internal combustion engine due to lack of oil quality. Can the oil change interval because of a longer one persistently high oil quality, on the other hand extended be leads This leads to cost savings and lower environmental impact.
