Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device to monitor the combustion processes in the combustion chamber an internal combustion engine, in particular a diesel engine, at least one glow plug in the cylinder head is arranged with heating element.
- EP-A-0 834 652 already describes a method and a device for monitoring the combustion processes in the Combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine known, in the Cylinder head at least one glow plug with heating element is arranged, in which the heating element of the glow plug against the cylinder head with an alternating voltage is applied and the ion current, which then between the heating rod area projecting into the combustion chamber and of the cylinder head wall on the combustion chamber and is evaluated.
- Electrodes an ion current sensor namely the electrodes a spark plug with a high-frequency AC voltage act upon the accuracy when capturing the To improve ion current.
- the invention is intended to provide a method and a Device of the type mentioned are created with which the combustion processes in the combustion chamber one Internal combustion engine can be monitored in a simple manner without significant structural changes to the Machine must be made.
- the device according to the invention measures the ion current and evaluated, which is between the heating rod surface the heating element of the glow plug and the combustion chamber surface trains and is a measure of the combustion processes.
- the im Cylinder head already used glow plug and the ion current modulation occurring at the glow plug is Signal to monitor the combustion processes, especially to determine the combustion chamber pressure, evaluated.
- the cylinder head is 1 a glow plug with heating element 2 is arranged in a diesel engine.
- the one arranged in the heating element 2 Filament supplied by a battery 6 with a direct current.
- a High-frequency generator 4 is provided, which is a high-frequency AC voltage generated on the heating element 2 of the glow plug lies.
- a switch 5 is preferably provided, the two Has switch positions in which he either the battery 6 with the heating element 2 of the glow plug for glow operation or the high-frequency generator 4 with the heating element 2 the glow plug for combustion monitoring operation, in particular for measuring the combustion chamber pressure.
- a demodulator, comparator and evaluation circuit 3 is used to that coming from heating element 2 in monitoring mode Evaluate signal. For this purpose, this circuit is 3rd both with the heating element 2 and the high-frequency generator 4 connected. At its output 7 it delivers a signal that for the parameters of the combustion processes in the combustion chamber of the Machine representative, especially proportional to combustion chamber pressure, is.
- the arrangement shown in Fig. 1 works in the following way:
- the modulating supply frequency can be chosen in this way be that as a microstructure on the compression / Decompression wave appears, with the frequency value of the corresponds to the required resolution of the pressure wave.
- the temporal Change in amplitude and phase of the ion current function is proportional to the pressure change in the combustion chamber over time. Because of the differentiation according to time, all are the signal current influencing parasitic impedances, such as contact resistances at electrical connection points or Shunts due to soot or coal formation between the heating element 2 and cylinder head 1 suppressed. The pressure change over time is therefore proportional to the temporal current signal.
- a switch 5 is provided, via which between the Supply of heating element 2 with current from battery 6 or with a high-frequency AC voltage from the high-frequency generator 4 can be switched, it is also possible the high frequency AC voltage of the glow voltage of overlay the battery 6. To do this, however, appropriate Interference suppression measures are taken in order to to avoid disruptive influences in the rest of the electrical system.
- FIG. 2 A particularly preferred form of training is shown in FIG. 2 shown in the drawing.
- the heating element 2 is electrically insulated via insulation 9 installed the glow plug body 10 and lies the glow voltage from the battery 6 on the glow tube 8 of the heating element 2.
- the im Glow tube 8 is arranged heating coil with its combustion chamber side End connected to the glow tube 8 and lies with their other end in mass.
- the heating element 2 is particularly mounted and is galvanically isolated in the glow plug body 10 the glow plug body 10 with its external thread in the cylinder head 1 screwed. It is therefore at ground potential.
- the glow tube 8 is defined with an alternating voltage Amplitude and frequency applied by the high-frequency generator 4, this in turn forms between the ground potential located cylinder head wall on the combustion chamber side and the one with high-frequency AC voltage Glow tube 8 an ion current 11, the current function as Parameters include the combustion chamber pressure.
- the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 has the special advantage that in the circuit shown there the glow resistance of the filament of the heating element 2 as Termination resistance of the resonant circuit acts.
