Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for detecting the ambient pressure by a pressure sensor in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.
- the knowledge of the ambient pressure is an essential factor.
- the ambient pressure is measured directly with the aid of an ambient pressure sensor.
- the ambient pressure estimated using prediction.
- Hubumsclien for example, two-stage
- the internal combustion engine does not have this remaining pressure difference.
- the detection of the ambient pressure is carried out in pressure-operated systems of the prior art as follows.
- the intake manifold pressure corresponds to the ambient pressure of the internal combustion engine.
- the ambient pressure is estimated based on the measured intake manifold pressure with an almost open throttle.
- the throttle is closed in the overrun mode of the internal combustion engine after a certain time, a certain pressure in the intake manifold. From this pressure, the ambient pressure is also estimated, while this estimate is very inaccurate due to manufacturing tolerances of the throttle. It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a method for determining the ambient pressure by means of the pressure sensor in the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine, which is applicable in the different operating conditions or load ranges of the internal combustion engine.
- the present invention comprises a method for detecting the ambient pressure by a pressure sensor in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.
- This method comprises the following steps: determining an air filter pressure on an air filter of the internal combustion engine as a function of an air mass flowing through the air filter, opening a throttle valve of the internal combustion engine until a pressure drop across the throttle valve is negligible, adjusting the camshaft in dependence on the operating state of the internal combustion engine such, that the operating state of the internal combustion engine remains approximately constant despite the opening of the throttle valve, and detecting an intake manifold pressure by the pressure sensor in the intake manifold and determining the ambient pressure from the sum of the air filter pressure and the intake manifold pressure.
- the method according to the invention enables a more accurate determination of the ambient pressure with the aid of the pressure sensor in the intake manifold in comparison to prior art methods.
- This is based on the known pressure conditions in the intake manifold, ie the ambient pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures at the throttle, the air filter and the intake manifold.
- the internal combustion engine is throttled so far, ie the throttle valve so far opened so that the pressure drop across the throttle valve is negligible. This procedure is carried out in the most different operating states of the internal combustion engine, ie in the part-load, full-load and overrun operation of the internal combustion engine.
- the Entdrosseln the internal combustion engine but leads to an unwanted change in the operating state of the internal combustion engine. For example, in part-load operation, a higher torque would be generated by the internal combustion engine as a result of the throttling down. In overrun operation, in turn, the Entschrosseln leads to a reduced braking effect of
- the opening of the throttle valve is compensated by adjusting the camshaft depending on the operating condition of the internal combustion engine.
- the camshaft in particular the intake camshaft (s), adjusted to "early" to prevent increasing the torque of the internal combustion engine by the Entschrosseln.
- the ambient pressure is preferably determined only in operating states of the internal combustion engine that can be realized with a small valve lift Minimize operating condition.
- the camshaft is adjusted such that no valve overlaps occur. Another measure is to adjust the camshaft to "small valve lift" to keep a braking effect of the internal combustion engine approximately constant despite opening the throttle.
- FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a preferred embodiment of the method for an internal combustion engine in partial load or full load operation
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the method steps for determining the ambient pressure in an internal combustion engine in partial load or full load operation and
- FIG. 4 shows a flow chart of a preferred embodiment of the method for an internal combustion engine in coasting mode.
- Fig. 1 shows the intake manifold model of an internal combustion engine without a supercharger.
- the air at the ambient pressure p amb flows through the air mass meter 20 via the throttle valve 30 into the intake manifold collector 60.
- an air mass m egr can be introduced through a valve 90 via the exhaust gas recirculation. It is also possible to supply a fuel-air mixture of mass m cps to the intake manifold collector through the tank leak diagnostic pump.
- the intake manifold pressure p in and the intake temperature T im are detected.
- an intake manifold pressure sensor 40 and / or an air mass sensor 20 is installed in the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine.
- the intake pipe pressure p im is set to a value which is determined by the ambient pressure Pamb and by the pressure drop over the air filter 10 and the pressure drop p t hr on the entire suction line can be described to the intake manifold 60.
- the ambient pressure p amb is as follows:
- Paircleaner f ( ⁇ l kgh ) •
- the above simplified description of the pressure relationships in the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine can be used for determining the ambient pressure of the internal combustion engine in different operating states. These operating states are subdivided into the two groups partial load and full load operation as well as overrun operation of the internal combustion engine.
- part load or full load operation of the internal combustion engine for example, the incoming air mass in the case of a defined position of the valve train of the internal combustion engine is sufficiently accurately estimated. Based on this accurate estimate, it is not necessary to install an air mass meter in the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine.
- the ambient pressure P a m b the method shown schematically in Figs. 2 and 3 is used. Before using the method, it must first be checked in which operating state the internal combustion engine is located. Other boundary conditions of the internal combustion engine to be tested are the engine speed and a faultlessly functioning valve train system and air supply system.
- the valve train is moved by adjusting the camshaft in a defined position.
- This is preferably the "early" camshaft adjustment, which adjusts the valves to a passive valve position with a small valve lift.
- the throttle valve 30 is opened almost completely so that the pressure drop across the throttle valve 30 is negligibly small Ambient pressure p amb can be estimated precisely and simply considering the intake manifold pressure Pim b , since the air mass flow is known via the air filter 10.
- the throttling of the internal combustion engine by opening the throttle valve is compensated by means of adjusting the camshaft so that the driver of the motor vehicle does not change the operating state of the internal combustion engine through the Entdrosselung feels.
- the above method provides an accurate estimate of the ambient pressure p amb with a measurement the intake manifold pressure sensor ready. It is only necessary to take into account the influence of the pressure drop across the air filter 10, but this is known due to the known air mass flow rate as a function of the valve position.
- FIG. 3 once again shows the adaptation range with the adjusting actuators of the present method to be adapted to the example of FIG. play an internal combustion engine in full load operation shown schematically.
- a specific differential pressure to the environment of, for example, 50 hPa must be set with a small valve lift in order to ensure optimum operation of the internal combustion engine. Therefore, to determine the ambient pressure p amb, the throttle valve 30 is fully opened, which is indicated by the rising curve called the throttle plate angle.
- the pressure drop p t hr via the throttle valve 30 is negligible in the adaptation range, that is to say in the region for determining the ambient pressure p at b 1.
- the camshaft position is adjusted to "early.” This is represented by the camshaft angle curve, which is lower in the adaptation range than the rest of the curve Due to the adjustments made in the intake manifold area, the intake manifold pressure in the adaptation range is increased by the curve shown as intake manifold pressure The remaining difference between intake manifold pressure and ambient pressure (see dashed line) within the adaptation range represents the pressure drop across the air filter , however, is derived from the air flow through the suction pipe.
- the method for determining the ambient pressure via the intake manifold pressure sensor 40 is also applicable to internal combustion engines in overrun operation.
- overrun means that the internal combustion engine is completely throttled, ie the throttle valve 30 is completely closed.
- FIG. 4 A schematic representation of the method steps is shown in FIG. 4.
- a first step it is checked whether the boundary conditions of the present method are fulfilled. These are in the same manner as in the above description, the determination of the operating condition of the internal combustion engine, the determination of Engine speed, the presence of a faultless system in terms of valve train and air supply system, to name just a few examples. If these boundary conditions or adaptation conditions are met, the method is continued using the above-described pressure relationship in the intake manifold model.
- the throttle valve 30 Since the internal combustion engine is in overrun operation, the throttle valve 30 must be opened so far that the pressure drop across the throttle valve 30 is negligibly small. However, the Entdrosselung the internal combustion engine may not change the braking effect of the internal combustion engine so that the driver or user of the internal combustion engine feels the running in the background measurement method for determining the ambient pressure. To compensate for the de-throttling of the internal combustion engine, therefore, the camshaft is brought into a previously defined position, for example in the end position with a small cam lift, so that when the throttle is open sufficient engine braking effect is present.
- the valve train is moved by the adjustment of the camshaft in a passive position, so that a valve lift switch on a small stroke. Since the Entdrosselung the internal combustion engine and the adjustment of the camshaft compensate each other, the value pi m of the intake manifold pressure can be detected within the intake manifold 60 after determining stable operating conditions of the internal combustion engine.
- the intake manifold pressure p im measured in this way is converted into the ambient pressure p amb by the above equation taking into account the pressure drop across the air filter 10.
