Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Amerikanische Behörden schreiben eine On-Board-Diagnose für PKW vor. Auch in Europa gibt es bereits Gesetzesentwürfe für eine On-Board-Diagnose, die künftig vorgeschrieben werden soll. Diagnostiziert werden müssen alle emissionsrelevante Komponenten und Systeme von Motorsteuerungen. Daher sind auch luftumfaßte Einspritzventile bei Ottomotoren zu überwachen. Dies geschieht bereits heute zum einen durch eine Endstufendiagnose der Einspritzventile, zum anderen durch die Beobachtung des Lambdareglers, der jede Abweichung der eingespritzten Kraftstoffmenge vom Sollwert durch eine Abweichung des Lambdawertes vom Sollwert registriert und auszuregeln versucht. Falls allerdings die Luftunterstützung der Einspritzventile fehlerhaft arbeitet und dadurch die Kraftstoffaufbereitung nicht mehr optimal ist, kann dies von herkömmlichen Diagnosefunktionen nicht registriert werden. Folge ist unter Umständen ein starker Anstieg der schädlichen Emissionen, insbesondere bei kaltem Motor.American authorities are writing an on-board diagnosis for Car in front. There are already bills in Europe for an on-board diagnosis that will be mandatory in the future should. All emissions-relevant must be diagnosed Components and systems of engine controls. Therefore are also air-enclosed injection valves in gasoline engines monitor. On the one hand, this is already happening through a final stage diagnosis of the injection valves, on the other by observing the lambda controller of any deviation the amount of fuel injected from the setpoint by a Deviation of the lambda value from the target value registered and tried to correct. If, however, the air support of the injectors is working incorrectly and therefore the Fuel preparation is no longer optimal, this can be done by conventional diagnostic functions are not registered. The result may be a sharp increase in harmful emissions, especially when the engine is cold.

Eine Diagnose der Luftumfassung ist beispielsweise aus der WO 96/04473 sowie aus der PCT/EP 95/02989 bekannt. Bekannt ist danach ein Abschalten der Luftzufuhr im Leerlauf bei warmem Motor, dabei eine Beobachtung der Luftmenge, die durch den Leerlaufsteller strömt und eine Bilanzierung der Luftmenge vor und nach dem Abstellen. Weiter bekannt ist ein Abschalten der Luftzufuhr und eine Beobachtung des gemessenen Lambdaverlaufs.A diagnosis of the air enclosure is, for example, from the WO 96/04473 and also known from PCT / EP 95/02989. Known the air supply is then switched off at idle warm engine, doing an observation of the amount of air that flows through the idle actuator and balancing the Air volume before and after parking. Another is known Turn off the air supply and observe the measured lambda curve.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Angabe einer Diagnose der Luftumfassung mit einfacher und robuster Funktion, die keine zusätzlichen Komponenten erfordert.The object of the invention is to provide a Air enclosure diagnostics with simple and robust Function that does not require any additional components.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Im folgenden wird ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung mit Bezug auf die Figuren erläutert. Fig. 1 zeigt das technische Umfeld der Erfindung. Fig. 2 offenbart ein Flußdiagramm als Ausführeungsbeispiel der Erfindung.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. The following is an embodiment of the invention Explained with reference to the figures. Fig. 1 shows the technical Environment of the invention. Fig. 2 discloses a flow chart as Embodiment of the invention.

Die 1 in der Fig. 1 repräsentiert einen Verbrennungsmotor mit Saugrohr 2, Eispritzventil 3 mit Luftumfassung 4 und Luftumfassungsabschaltmitteln 5, einer Drosselklappe 6 mit Drosselklappenpositionssensor 7, einem Saugrohrdrucksensor 8 und einem Steuergerät 9.1 in FIG. 1 represents an internal combustion engine with suction pipe 2, ice spray valve 3 with air enclosure 4 and Air enclosure shutdown means 5, a throttle valve 6 with Throttle valve position sensor 7, an intake manifold pressure sensor 8 and a control device 9.

In On-Board-Diagnose-Motorsteuerungssystemen ist häufig ein Saugrohrdrucksensor 8 eingebaut, insbesondere bei druckgeführter Lasterfassung, aber auch bei Systemen mit Abgasrückführung, um die Abgasrückführung zu diagnostizieren. Diese druckbasierte Abgasrückführungsdiagnose erfolgt im allgemeinen in einer Schiebebetriebsphase des Motors, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß der Motor bei geschlossener Drosselklappe, die durch den Sensor 7 detektiert werden kann, und Drehzahlen oberhalb der Leerlaufdrehzahl geschoben wird und daher einen starken Unterdruck im Saugrohr aufbaut. Wird dann das Abgasrückführventil geöffnet, so strömt aus der Auspuffanlage Abgas in das Saugrohr ein, wodurch der dort vorhandene Unterdruck etwas abgebaut wird. Diese Druckerhöhung wird durch den Drucksensor gemessen und in der Motorsteuerung ausgewertet. Auf dem selben Prinzip basiert die vorliegende Erfindung: Im Schiebebetrieb (Schritt 2 in Fig. 2) wird die Luftumfassung der Einspritzventile ab- bzw. angeschaltet (Schritt 3) und die aus der Änderung der Luftzufuhr resultierende Änderung des Saugrohrdrucks gemessen (Schritte 1, 4 und 5). Falls sich der Saugrohrdruck ausreichend stark ändert, kann auf eine einwandfreie Funktion der Luftumfassung geschlossen werden (Schritte 6 und 7). Die Höhe des Druckunterschiedes läßt auch Rückschlüsse auf die durch die Luftumfassung strömende Luftmenge zu, kann also nicht nur als qualitative, sondern auch als quantitative Diagnose dienen.One is common in on-board diagnostic engine control systems Intake manifold pressure sensor 8 installed, especially at pressure-controlled load detection, but also for systems with Exhaust gas recirculation to exhaust gas recirculation diagnose. This print-based Exhaust gas recirculation diagnosis is generally carried out in one Sliding operating phase of the engine, which is characterized is that the engine with the throttle valve closed can be detected by the sensor 7, and speeds is pushed above the idle speed and therefore one strong negative pressure builds up in the intake manifold. Then it will Exhaust gas recirculation valve open, flows out of the Exhaust system exhaust into the intake manifold, causing the there existing negative pressure is reduced somewhat. This Pressure increase is measured by the pressure sensor and in the Engine control evaluated. Based on the same principle the present invention: in push mode (step 2 in 2) the air enclosure of the injection valves is removed or turned on (step 3) and that from changing the Air supply resulting change in intake manifold pressure measured (steps 1, 4 and 5). If the intake manifold pressure changes sufficiently, can be impeccable Air containment function should be closed (step 6 and 7). The amount of pressure difference also leaves Conclusions about the flowing through the air enclosure Air volume can, therefore, not only as qualitative, but also serve as a quantitative diagnosis.

Die Erfindung beinhaltet damit ein Verfahren zur On-Board-Diagnose der Luftumfassung von Einspritzventilen für Ottomotoren. Ihre Vorteile sind: Es wird auf Drucksensoren zurückgegriffen, welche in vielen Systemen bereits vorhanden sind, d.h. es sind keine zusätzlichen Komponenten nötig. Weiterhin ist die Funktion einfach und robust. Quantitative Aussagen über den Luftmassenstrom durch die Luftumfassung werden möglich.The invention thus includes a method for on-board diagnosis the air enclosure of injectors for Gasoline engines. Your advantages are: It is based on pressure sensors resorted to, which already exists in many systems are, i.e. no additional components are necessary. Furthermore, the function is simple and robust. quantitative Statements about the air mass flow through the air enclosure become possible.

  1. Method for diagnosing the air jacket in injection valves of a spark ingnition combustion engine which have an air jacket and an intake manifold pressure sensor, characterized in that the air jacket surrounding the injection valves is switched on and off during overrun conditions when the engine is warm and the change in the intake manifold pressure which results from the change in the air supply to the intake manifold is sensed and compared with a threshold value, the failure of the value to exceed the threshold value being evaluated as a fault.
  2. Method according to Claim 1, characterized in that in addition conclusions are drawn about the airflow rate flowing through the air jacket from the magnitude of the difference in pressure.
