Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for braking a Four-stroke internal combustion engine according to the preamble of Claim 1 and a motor vehicle from one to this Method is braked internal combustion engine driven.
- From DE-PS 34 28 626 is an actuator for an engine brake on a four-stroke internal combustion engine is known, which is arranged in the exhaust pipe throttle valve and for an additional exhaust valve for blowing off each cylinder compressed air in the exhaust pipe. In doing so when the brake pedal is operated, one or more of the additional exhaust valves opened and thus the working pressures in the or some of the cylinders decreased and then the throttle valve closed.
- the object of the invention is to provide a method with which an internal combustion engine of the generic type faster and can be slowed down more effectively than with known engine brakes is the case. It is also the task of Invention to create a motor vehicle by one is driven according to controllable internal combustion engine and be brought to a standstill quickly, especially in an emergency can.
- the object is achieved by the im The method described in claim 1 and by the method in claim 7 described motor vehicle solved.
- the procedure is the time at which an early Combustion triggered and possibly an exhaust valve is opened, depending on the actuation of a wheel brake system and / or depending on the response of one Anti-lock device changeable. It gets on the piston high, driving combustion pressure exerted on the causes the internal combustion engine to brake extremely quickly.
- the device for braking the internal combustion engine with the means for actuating the wheel brake system can be ensured, for example, that the Wheel brake system is actuated when the internal combustion engine is braked. It is provided that the intensity of the Braking the internal combustion engine, that is the time of Triggering the premature combustion and possibly the Opening the exhaust valves from the actuation of the brake pedal or, if available, the response of an anti-lock device is influenced to the greatest possible braking effect to achieve. Conversely, the wheel brake device through appropriate coupling by means of a control or Control logic simultaneously with the braking of the internal combustion engine to be activated.
- Exhaust valves can additional, e.g. B. from said DE-PS 34 28 626th known, electrically or by a pressure medium operable Be valves or normal gas exchange exhaust valves if whose tax times can be changed so that the desired opening start is reached.
- the triggering of premature combustion can be in Otto internal combustion engines by advancing the ignition timing accordingly take place far beyond the usual spark advance goes out, and with diesel internal combustion engine by appropriate Early injection, which in turn is way ahead of the way of the ignition delay occurs early injection. in the If necessary, one can also be used for diesel internal combustion engines Ignition aid z. B. provided in the form of a spark or glow plug become.
- a Device proposed that a device for Early adjustment of the time at which the premature Combustion triggered and possibly an exhaust valve is opened, the early adjustment depending on the actuation of a wheel brake system and / or depending by responding to an anti-lock device.
- the device mentioned enables the internal combustion engine to be braked depending on means of actuating the Wheel brake system and / or an anti-lock device. So is for example, ensure that the wheel brake system is actuated is when the internal combustion engine is braked in an emergency.
- the anti-lock device responds, the Establish the greatest possible braking effect simultaneous early adjustment of the time at which the premature combustion triggered and possibly on Exhaust valve is opened.
- the device mentioned preferably has an emergency switch to activate this facility by Actuation on the normal control for the ignition timing or control overriding the injection timing and if necessary, the exhaust valves at the right time be opened. By pressing the emergency switch possibly triggered an optical or acoustic signal become.
- the emergency switch In a motor vehicle by an internal combustion engine is driven with the aforementioned device the emergency switch is located in the driver's compartment.
- the emergency switch should of course be so attached that he on the one hand not accidentally and on the other hand not only from Driver, but can also be operated by a passenger.
- a four-stroke Otto engine 1 has a cylinder block 2 with cylinders 3 and pistons 4 and a cylinder head 5 in which, in addition to the usual gas exchange inlet and exhaust valves an additional, for example pneumatically or hydraulically controlled Exhaust valve 7 (Fig. 2) is arranged.
- the cylinder head 5 also contains the camshaft for actuating the gas exchange valves and the schematically illustrated injection and Ignition system 6, which is operated by electronics 8 in normal operation is regulated.
- a separate electronic Regulator 9 is provided, which is operated by an emergency switch 10 activated for example in the dashboard 11 of the vehicle can be and on the one hand the ignition timing regardless of the setting by the electronics 8 in the "early" direction adjusted that the combustion in each cylinder already during the compression cycle, i.e. well before reaching the top dead center of the piston 4, is triggered, and on the other hand the additional at the end of the compression cycle Exhaust valve 7 opens. Due to premature combustion on the piston 4 a restoring combustion pressure, the causes the internal combustion engine to brake quickly. By the opening of the additional exhaust valve 7 towards the end of Compression cycle is avoided that after going through the top dead center a driving pressure force on the piston 4 acts.
- the additional exhaust valve 7 shown in Fig. 2 blocks in the closed state, a channel 12 which is not connected to the cylinder space shown is connected and from which a Channel 13 goes out to the outlet channel, not shown the internal combustion engine 1 or to the turbine of an exhaust gas turbocharger is guided, the one adapted to the braking operation can have a narrow flow cross-section.
- the valve 7 is acted upon by a spring 14 in the closing direction and carries a control piston 15 which is slidable in one Cylinder 16 sits and a pressure chamber 18 with a cover 17 limited by a port 19 a pressure medium can be supplied to open the valve 7.
- the Supply of the pressure medium is controlled by the controller 9.
- the additional outlet valve 7 can be omitted if the Internal combustion engine with a valve train with variable Control times is equipped and the gas exchange exhaust valves can be controlled by the controller 9 so that they are opened at the end of the compression cycle.
- the controller 9 can activate a signal device 20 which when actuating the emergency switch 10, an optical or acoustic signal triggers
- the controller 9 does not need the injection and Ignition system 6 to act, but it can instead have a Line 28 are connected to the electronics 8 and this influence accordingly ..
- combustion occurs triggered during the compression stroke that the Fuel injection accordingly long before reaching the top dead center of the piston.
- an ignition aid e.g. in the form of a spark or glow plug be provided.
- the braking of the internal combustion engine can still do so be accelerated that the dynamic pressure in the exhaust pipe is increased, e.g. through a throttle valve in the exhaust line or with an internal combustion engine an exhaust gas turbocharger, the turbine with a variable Guide vane is provided by adjusting it (see e.g. DE-C 42 32 400).
