Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Steuereinrichtung für die Verstellung des Einspritz zeitpunktes und/oder der Fördermenge einer Kraftstoffeinspritzpumpe für Brennkraftmaschinen, bei welcher ein Förderbeginn- und/oder Fördermengenverstellglied, insbesondere eine Anschläge für Ausweichkolben tragende Stange und/oder eine Regelstange, von einem elektrischen Stellmotor unter Zwischenschaltung wenigstens eines mechanischen, als Federspeicher ausgebildeten Kraftspeichers verstellt wird.The invention relates to a control device for the adjustment of the injection timing and / or the delivery rate of a fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, in which a start of delivery and / or delivery quantity adjustment member, in particular a stop for the supporting piston rod and / or a control rod, of an electric servomotor is adjusted with the interposition of at least one mechanical energy accumulator designed as a spring accumulator.

Es ist bereits bekannt, in Steuergestänge zur Verminderung oder Begrenzung der mechanischen Beanspruchung Schleppglieder bzw. Kraftbegrenzungsglieder einzuschalten. Derartige bekannte Konstruktionen dienen dazu, eine unzulässig hohe Beanspruchung des Gestänges und damit einen Bruch oder ein Verbiegen des Gestänges zu verhindern. Aus der AT-B-364966 ist hiebei eine Ausbildung bekannt geworden, bei welcher das Schleppglied unmittelbar in der Längsbohrung für die Regelstange angeordnet ist.It is already known to switch on trailing links or force limiting links in control linkages to reduce or limit the mechanical stress. Known constructions of this type serve to prevent impermissibly high loads on the linkage and thus prevent the linkage from breaking or bending. From AT-B-364966 a training has become known in which the towing member is arranged directly in the longitudinal bore for the control rod.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich nun auf eine Steuereinrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, bei welcher für die Verstellung eines Gestänges ein elektrischer Stellmotor, insbesondere ein Schrittmotor, verwendet wird. Derartige elektrische Stellmotoren sind in der Regel so dimensioniert, daß ihre maximale Stellkraft nicht ausreicht, um das Steuergestänge zu beschädigen. Im Falle von elektrischen Stellmotoren, insbesondere Schrittmotoren, wird in der Regel ein Mikroprozessor für die Steuerung des Motors verwendet und es ist für die exakte Steuerung des Einspritzzeitpunktes bzw. der Fördermenge einer Kraftstoffeinspritzpumpe von wesentlicher Bedeutung, daß die jeweilige Istposition des Stellmotors mit der vom Mikroprozessor für den nächsten Stellschritt vorausgesetzten Position übereinstimmt. Wenn vom Mikroprozessor ein Stellschritt ausgelöst wird, welcher zeitlich mit einem Fördervorgang der Einspritzpumpe zusammenfällt, ist aber die Verstellung des Fördermengenverstellgliedes ebenso wie die Verstellung des Verstellgliedes für den Einspritzzeitpunkt nur unter erhöhtem Kraftaufwand und dementsprechend erhöhtem Verschleiß möglich. Mit Rücksicht auf die relativ geringen Stellkräfte derartiger elektrischer Stellmotoren besteht vor allen Dingen bei Schrittmotoren auch die Gefahr, daß einzelne Steuerschritte gänzlich ausbleiben und dadurch die nachfolgende Steuerung entsprechend verschoben erfolgt und unexakt wird.The invention now relates to a control device of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which an electric servomotor, in particular a stepper motor, is used for the adjustment of a linkage. Such electric servomotors are usually dimensioned so that their maximum actuating force is not sufficient to damage the control linkage. In the case of electric servomotors, in particular stepper motors, a microprocessor is usually used to control the motor and it is essential for the exact control of the injection timing or the delivery rate of a fuel injection pump that the actual position of the servomotor with that of the microprocessor for the next positioning step. If an actuating step is triggered by the microprocessor, which coincides with a delivery process of the injection pump, the adjustment of the delivery quantity adjustment member as well as the adjustment of the adjustment member for the injection time is only possible with increased effort and accordingly increased wear. With regard to the relatively low actuating forces of such electric actuators, there is above all the danger in stepper motors that individual control steps are completely absent and the subsequent control is accordingly shifted and becomes inexact.

Von dem voraussetzungsgemäß vorgesehenen mechanischen Kraftspeicher kann ein Schritt oder können einige Schritte des elektrischen Stellmotors vorübergehend aufgenommen werden, wenn die Verstellung nur unter erhöhtem Kraftaufwand und Verschleiß möglich wäre, wie dies zum Zeitpunkt des Fördervorganges der Einspritzpumpe der Fall ist. Nach Abschluß des Fördervorganges werden die im mechanischen Kraftspeicher gespeicherten Stellschritte des elektrischen Stellmotors, insbesondere des Schrittmotors, an die Verstellglieder der Kraftstoffeinspritzpumpe weitergeleitet, so daß die erforderliche Sollstellung unter Einhaltung eines möglichst geringen Verschleißes der Stellglieder eingenommen wird. Durch diese Maßnahme wird auch verhindert, daß einzelne Stellschritte so weit behindert werden, daß eine nachfolgende exakte Regelung beeinträchtigt würde.One step or some steps of the electric servomotor can be temporarily taken up from the mechanical energy accumulator provided in accordance with the prerequisites if the adjustment would only be possible with increased effort and wear, as is the case at the time of the delivery process of the injection pump. After completion of the conveying process, the adjusting steps of the electric servomotor, in particular of the stepping motor, stored in the mechanical energy store are passed on to the adjusting elements of the fuel injection pump, so that the required target position is assumed while keeping the actuators as little wear as possible. This measure also prevents individual adjustment steps from being hindered to such an extent that subsequent precise regulation would be impaired.

Die Erfindung zielt darauf ab, eine Steuereinrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, deren Federspeicher einen einfachen und raumsparenden Aufbau sowie eine hohe Betriebssicherheit aufweist.The invention aims to provide a control device of the type specified in the introduction, the spring accumulator of which has a simple and space-saving design and high operational reliability.

Die Erfindung besteht im wesentlichen darin, daß der Federspeicher zwei gegeneinander bewegliche Federteller aufweist, deren maximaler Abstand voneinander durch Anschläge eines die Federteller übergreifenden Gehäuses begrenzt ist, wobei zwischen den Federtellern eine vorgespannte Druckfeder aufgenommen ist, daß ein mit dem als Schrittmotor ausgebildeten Stellmotor auf Zug und Druck kraftschlüssig verbundener Teil eines Übertragungsgestänges beide Federteller durchsetzt und Anschläge trägt, welche mit den der Druckfeder abgewandten Seiten der Federteller zusammenwirken, und daß der mit dem Verstellglied verbundene Teil des Übertragungsgestänges am Gehäuse angeschlossen ist.The invention consists essentially in the fact that the spring accumulator has two mutually movable spring plates, the maximum distance from each other is limited by stops of a housing spanning the spring plates, a preloaded compression spring being accommodated between the spring plates, that a servo motor designed as a stepper motor is in tension and pressure non-positively connected part of a transmission linkage passes through both spring plates and carries stops which cooperate with the sides of the spring plate facing away from the compression spring, and that the part of the transmission linkage connected to the adjusting member is connected to the housing.

Durch diese Maßnahmen ergibt sich eine einfache, wenig Raum beanspruchende, symmetrische Konstruktion, die für beide Bewegungsrichtungen nur eine einzige Druckfeder erfordert und die ohne besondere vorausgehende Justierung für beide Arbeitsrichtungen gleiche Vorspannkraft und gleiche Federkonstante aufweist, was bei einer Konstruktion mit zwei koaxial angeordneten Schraubendruckfedern, deren jede nur in einer Arbeitsrichtung wirksam ist, nur äußerst schwierig zu erreichen ist, da die beiden Federn unterschiedliche Durchmesser haben und gegebenenfalls verschieden lang ausgebildet werden müssen, wobei die Anordnung außerdem voluminöser ist, zumal eine gegenseitige Berührung der beiden Schrauben druckfedern unter allen Umständen vermieden werden muß. Bei Bedarf erlaubt es die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung, die Federkraft des mechanischen Kraftspeichers vorzugeben und beispielsweise durch Verstellung der Anschläge den jeweiligen Erfordernissen anzupassen. Ein derartig auf Zug und Druck kraftschlüssig verbundener Teil eines Übertragungsgestänges kann beispielsweise von einer mit einem Ritzel des elektrischen Stellmotors kämmenden Zahnstange oder aber auch als um eine Spindel umlaufende Mutter, welche drehschlüssig mit dem Antriebsmotor verbunden ist, ausgebildet sein. Diese Ausbildung stellt eine Speicherung der Stellschritte in beide Betätigungsrichtungen der Verstellglieder sicher. Im Falle der Ausbildung der Kraftübertragung vom Stellmotor auf das Verstellglied mit einer spiralförmigen Kulisse genügt ein einfacher federnd komprimierbarer Kraftspeicher.These measures result in a simple, space-consuming, symmetrical construction, which requires only a single compression spring for both directions of movement and which has the same pretensioning force and the same spring constant for both directions of work without any special adjustment, which in a construction with two coaxially arranged helical compression springs, each of which is only effective in one direction of operation, is extremely difficult to achieve, since the two springs have different diameters and may have to be of different lengths, the arrangement also being more voluminous, especially since a mutual contact of the two compression springs avoided under all circumstances must become. If necessary, the design according to the invention allows the spring force of the mechanical energy accumulator to be specified and adapted to the respective requirements, for example by adjusting the stops. Such a part of a transmission linkage that is non-positively connected to tension and pressure can be formed, for example, by a toothed rack meshing with a pinion of the electric servomotor or also as a nut rotating around a spindle, which is rotationally connected to the drive motor. This training ensures storage of the adjustment steps in both directions of actuation of the adjusting elements. in the If the power transmission from the servomotor to the adjusting element is designed with a spiral-shaped backdrop, a simple, spring-compressible energy store is sufficient.

In vorteilhafter Weise können die Federteller an ihren einander zugewandten Seiten Anschläge aufweisen, welche den maximalen Druckhub der Feder begrenzen, so daß eine plötzlich erforderliche, diesen maximalen Druckhub übersteigende Verstellung ohne Rücksicht auf den damit verbundenen Verschleiß der Verstellglieder dennoch ausgeführt wird, um unzulässige Betriebszustände der Brennkraftmaschine zu vermeiden.In an advantageous manner, the spring plates can have stops on their mutually facing sides, which limit the maximum pressure stroke of the spring, so that an adjustment which suddenly becomes necessary and exceeds this maximum pressure stroke is nevertheless carried out regardless of the associated wear of the adjusting elements, in order to prevent impermissible operating states of the Avoid internal combustion engine.

Die Einschaltung eines Kraftspeichers in den Übertragungsweg zwischen dem elektrischen Stellmotor, insbesondere dem Schrittmotor, und dem Verstellglied, ermöglicht es auch in einfacher Weise Sicherungsmaßnahmen für den Fall eines Stromausfalles oder des Versagens des Mikroprozessors zu treffen. Zu diesem Zweck ist vorzugsweise die Ausbildung so getroffen, daß in dem Ubertragungsgestänge zwischen dem Kraftspeicher und dem Verstellglied wenigstens ein Anschlag vorgesehen ist, welcher mit einer vom Schrittmotor unabhängigen Abstellvorrichtung kuppelbar ist, und daß zwischen diesem Anschlag und dem Kraftspeicher wenigstens ein weiteres federndes Schleppglied eingeschaltet ist. Hiebei ist vorzugsweise die Abstellvorrichtung als entgegen der Kraft einer Feder verschiebbarer Kolben eines hydraulischen Zylinder-Kolbenaggregates ausgebildet, dessen Arbeitsraum mit einem hydraulischen Medium beaufschlagbar ist, wobei die Federkraft der Abstellvorrichtung größer ist als die Federkraft des federnden Schleppgliedes bzw. des Kraftspeichers. Die Verwendung eines derartigen hydraulischen Zylinder-Kolben-aggregates ist insbesondere deshalb empfehlenswert, weil die Federkraft dieser Abstellvorrichtung relativ groß bemessen sein muß, um eine rasche und sichere Abschaltung bei Stromausfall, Versagen des Mikroprozessors oder Ausfall des Stellmotors sicherzustellen. Vorzugsweise ist zu diesem Zweck in die Hydraulikleitung zum Arbeitsraum der Abstellvorrichtung ein vorzugsweise elektrisch betätigbares Ventil eingeschaltet, welches im Betrieb der Brennkraftmaschine den Hydraulikzylinder mit einer Druckmittelquelle verbindet und bei unzulässigen Betriebszuständen, wie z. B. Überdrehzahl und/oder Stromausfall, den Hydraulikzylinder drucklos macht.The inclusion of an energy store in the transmission path between the electric servomotor, in particular the stepper motor, and the adjusting member also enables safety measures to be taken in a simple manner in the event of a power failure or the microprocessor's failure. For this purpose, the design is preferably such that at least one stop is provided in the transmission linkage between the energy store and the adjusting member, which stop can be coupled to a stop device that is independent of the stepper motor, and that at least one further resilient towing member is switched on between this stop and the force store is. Here, the parking device is preferably designed as a piston of a hydraulic cylinder-piston unit which can be displaced counter to the force of a spring and whose working space can be acted upon by a hydraulic medium, the spring force of the parking device being greater than the spring force of the resilient drag member or the energy accumulator. The use of such a hydraulic cylinder-piston unit is particularly recommended because the spring force of this shut-off device must be relatively large in order to ensure a quick and safe shutdown in the event of a power failure, failure of the microprocessor or failure of the servomotor. For this purpose, a preferably electrically operable valve is preferably switched on in the hydraulic line to the working space of the parking device, which connects the hydraulic cylinder to a pressure medium source during operation of the internal combustion engine and in the case of impermissible operating states, such as, for. B. overspeed and / or power failure, the hydraulic cylinder is depressurized.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an Hand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawing.

In dieser zeigen Fig. 1 eine erste Ausbildung eines erfindungsgemäßen Kraftspeichers und Fig. 2 die Ausbildung nach Fig. 1, wobei jedoch zusätzlich eine Abschaltvorrichtung vorgesehen ist.1 shows a first embodiment of an energy accumulator according to the invention and FIG. 2 shows the embodiment according to FIG. 1, but a shutdown device is additionally provided.

In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 die Pumpe-Düsebaueinheit zur Kraftstoffversorgung eines nicht dargestellten Verbrennungsmotors gezeigt, bei welcher die Steuerung der Kraftstoffmenge und die Steuerung des Förderbeginnes jeweils durch ein im Pumpengehäuse angeordnetes als Schubstange ausgebildetes Verstellglied 2, 3 bewirkt wird, welche über ein Gestänge verschoben wird, daß durch je einen elektrischen Stellmotor 4 beispielsweise über ein Zahnrad/Zahnstangengetriebe 5, 6, 7, 8 oder über eine nicht dargestellte spiralförmige Kulisse angetrieben wird. Die Steuerung der beiden Stellmotoren erfolgt über einen nicht dargestellten Mikroprozessor, der aus den über Sensoren ermittelten Betriebsparametern des Motors die Sollwerte für Menge und Förderbeginn errechnet und über Verstärker die erforderlichen Steuerimpulse an die Stellmotoren weitergibt. In das Steuergestänge für jede der beiden Funktionen ist ein Kraftspeicher 9, 10 als Arbeitsspeichereinheit eingebaut, welche die Aufgabe hat, bei Erreichen einer festgelegten Grenze der Betätigungskraft im Gestänge über einen begrenzten Weg nachzugeben und den zusätzlich vom Stellmotor 4 gesteuerten Weg einzuspeichern. Im vorliegenden Beispiel geschieht dies durch die Druckfeder 11, die die beiden Federteller 12, 13 gegen die Anschläge 14, 15 in dem als Federbüchse ausgebildeten Kraftspeicher 9 drückt. Zwischen den beiden Federtellern 12, 13 ist in der Ruhelage ein Spiel 16 vorgesehen. Der mit dem elektrischen Stellmotor auf Zug und Druck kraftschlüssig verbundene Teil 17 des Übertragungsgestänges durchsetzt die Federteller 12, 13 und weist einen festen 18 und einen einstellbaren Anschlag 19 auf, wobei der letztere so eingestellt ist, daß in der Ruhelage kein Spiel der beiden Federteller 12, 13 zu den Anschlägen 18, 19 auftritt. Wenn während der Förderphase die Steuerstangen in der Pumpe festgehalten werden und gleichzeitig die Stellmotoren eine Bewegung einsteuern, so führt diese Bewegung zu einem Aufziehen der Druckfeder 11 in der Federbüchse im Rahmen des Spiels 16. Zweckmäßig wird die Feder 11 in ihrer Vorspannkraft so ausgelegt, daß diese etwa 30 bis 50 % der vom Stellmotor ausgeübten Kraft beträgt. Die Abhängigkeit der Verschiebekraft vom Federweg der Feder soll klein sein, so daß der Kraftzuwachs beim Durchlaufen des Spieles 16 klein ist. Aus der Anordnung in Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, daß die beschriebene Speicherwirkung in beiden Bewegungsrichtungen der Steuerstange auftritt.In Fig. 1, 1 shows the pump-nozzle assembly for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine (not shown), in which the control of the fuel quantity and the control of the start of delivery are each effected by an adjusting member 2, 3 which is arranged in the pump housing and is designed as a push rod and which is actuated via a linkage is shifted that is driven by an electric servomotor 4, for example, via a gear / rack and pinion 5, 6, 7, 8 or via a spiral backdrop, not shown. The control of the two servomotors takes place via a microprocessor, not shown, which calculates the setpoints for quantity and start of delivery from the operating parameters of the motor determined by sensors and transmits the necessary control impulses to the servomotors via amplifiers. In the control linkage for each of the two functions, an energy accumulator 9, 10 is installed as a working storage unit, which has the task of giving in via a limited path when the actuating force in the linkage is reached and storing the path additionally controlled by the servomotor 4. In the present example, this is done by the compression spring 11, which presses the two spring plates 12, 13 against the stops 14, 15 in the force accumulator 9 designed as a spring sleeve. A game 16 is provided between the two spring plates 12, 13 in the rest position. The part 17 of the transmission linkage which is non-positively connected to the electric servo under tension and pressure passes through the spring plates 12, 13 and has a fixed 18 and an adjustable stop 19, the latter being set such that no play of the two spring plates 12 in the rest position , 13 to the stops 18, 19 occurs. If, during the delivery phase, the control rods are held in the pump and the servomotors control a movement at the same time, this movement leads to a compression of the compression spring 11 in the spring bushing within the scope of the game 16. The spring 11 is expediently designed in its pretensioning force in such a way that this is approximately 30 to 50% of the force exerted by the servomotor. The dependence of the displacement force on the spring travel should be small, so that the increase in force when passing through the game 16 is small. From the arrangement in Fig. 1 it can be seen that the memory effect described occurs in both directions of movement of the control rod.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Anordnung ähnlich der Fig. 1. In das Steuergestänge für die Mengenregelung ist aber ein weiteres federndes Schleppglied 20 eingebaut, sowie ein Anschlag 21, welche mit einer Abstellvorrichtung 22 zusammenwirken. Für den Fall eines Versagens des Mikroprozessors bei Stromausfall oder bei einem Ausfall des Stellmotors 4 besteht die Gefahr des Überdrehens des Verbrennungsmotors. Deshalb muß die Fördermenge sofort auf Null zurückgenommen werden. In der vorliegenden Anordnung wird eine Abstellvorrichtung, welche einen Kolben 23, eine Kolbenstange 24 und einen hakenförmigen Kupplungsteil 25 enthält, über eine Leitung durch einen Flüssigkeitsdruck - beispielsweise den Motoröldruck oder Kraftstoffdruck beaufschlagt, wodurch die Feder 26 gespannt wird und der Kolben 23 mit dem Kupplungsteil 25 in seine linke Endstellung gedrückt wird, in welcher er die Bewegung des Fördermengenverstellgliedes 2 nicht behindert. Bei einem Ausfall des Mikroprozessors, des Stellmotors oder bei Auftreten einer Überdrehzahl wird die Stromzufuhr zum Magnetventil 27 unterbrochen, das Ventil öffnet nach außen und der Flüssigkeitsdruck in der Abstellvorrichtung fällt ab. Dadurch drückt die Feder 26 den Kolben 23 samt dem hakenförmigen Kupplungsteil nach rechts und über den Anschlag 21 wird die Regelstange in Richtung Nullförderung gezogen. Dabei wird die Vorspannkraft der Druckfeder 29 im federnden Schleppglied 20 überwunden und die Feder 29 entsprechend dem erforderlichen Abstellweg zusammengedrückt. Auch die Druckfeder 11 in der Federbüchse 9 wird bei diesem Notabstellvorgang bis zur Überwindung des Spiels 16 zusammengedrückt. Bezogen auf die Haltekraft des Stellmotors bei bestimmungsgemäßer Arbeit beträgt die Vorspannkraft der Feder 29 im federnden Schleppglied 20 etwa 60 bis 90 %, die von der Feder 26 der Abstellvorrichtung 22 ausgeübte Kraft mindestens 110 %.FIG. 2 shows an arrangement similar to FIG. 1. However, a further resilient towing element 20 is installed in the control linkage for the quantity control, as well as a stop 21, which cooperate with a parking device 22. In the event of a failure of the microprocessor in the event of a power failure or in the event of the servomotor 4 failing, there is a risk of the internal combustion engine being overturned. Therefore, the flow rate must be reduced to zero immediately. In the present arrangement, a shut-off device, which contains a piston 23, a piston rod 24 and a hook-shaped coupling part 25, is acted upon via a line by a liquid pressure - for example the engine oil pressure or fuel pressure, where is tensioned by the spring 26 and the piston 23 is pressed with the coupling part 25 into its left end position, in which it does not hinder the movement of the delivery rate adjustment member 2. In the event of a failure of the microprocessor, the servomotor or if an overspeed occurs, the power supply to the solenoid valve 27 is interrupted, the valve opens to the outside and the liquid pressure in the shutdown device drops. As a result, the spring 26 presses the piston 23 together with the hook-shaped coupling part to the right, and the control rod is pulled in the direction of zero delivery via the stop 21. The biasing force of the compression spring 29 is overcome in the resilient towing member 20 and the spring 29 is compressed in accordance with the required stopping distance. The compression spring 11 in the spring sleeve 9 is compressed in this emergency shutdown until the game 16 is overcome. Based on the holding force of the servomotor when working as intended, the biasing force of the spring 29 in the resilient towing member 20 is approximately 60 to 90%, the force exerted by the spring 26 of the parking device 22 is at least 110%.
