Knowing the timing of the hydraulic delivery end of the pump-nozzle unit is to ensure the micro-dimensional stability due to higher injection sensitivity during charging of the piezoelectric actuator and its hysteresis required.

- the position of the nozzle needle 24 is plotted over the time or the crankshaft angle.
- the position of the control valve needle 17 reaches the maximum deflection at a time TS, which corresponds to an application of the control valve needle 17 with the sealing surface 13 on the sealing seat 14. At this time, the inlet 15 is closed.
- the control valve needle 17 begins to lift off the sealing seat 14 again at the time TE. Due to the inertia of the system, the nozzle needle 24 reaches its maximum opening stroke at a later point in time TN, and then settles again on the needle sealing seat 26 at a point in time TP. Due to the inertia of the system, accurate control of the injection requires that the control valve needle 17 be in
- Partial strokes is controlled to precisely control the nozzle needle 24. This is especially necessary when finishing the scoring, i. when placing the nozzle needle 24 on the Nadeldichtsitz 26th
- a drive of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is performed, which corresponds to a main injection.
- the essential difference between the pilot injection and the main injection is that the time duration in which the second voltage U 2 is applied to the piezoelectric actuator 1, longer than in the pilot injection is.
- the nozzle needle is lifted longer from the sealing seat and it is injected more fuel.
- the piezoelectric actuator Due to the inertia of the system, precise actuation of the piezoelectric actuator is required to set a precise amount of fuel delivered by the pump-nozzle unit 2.
- the hydraulic delivery end of the pump-nozzle unit which can be derived from the opening behavior of the control valve 3, lent possible to determine precisely.
- the hydraulic delivery end is required due to the higher injection sensitivity during the discharging process of the piezoelectric actuator 1, which in the illustrated embodiment corresponds to an opening of the control valve 3 and thus an ending of the injection process, and due to the hysteresis behavior of the piezoelectric actuator Precise control of the unit injector unit.

- the opening phase of the control valve 3 largely determines the minimum quantity stability.
- the opening phase of the control valve relates to the time range in which the voltage at the piezoelectric actuator 1 is lowered from the second voltage U 2 via the third voltage U 3 to the fourth voltage U 4.
- the movement of the control valve needle 17 is essentially determined by the discharge gradient, i. H. the voltage change on the piezoelectric actuator 1, determined by the applied valve sealing force, by the 'effect of the return spring of the control valve needle 17, not shown, and by the resulting pressure pulse.
- the course of motion of the control valve needle 17 can be described by a higher-order parabola function.
- Figure 3 shows an enlarged view of the piezoelectric voltage U, the valve needle path V of the control valve needle 17 and the pressure curve P of the fuel in the pressure chamber 25 at the opening phase of the control valve 3, ie at the initiation of the injection end, ie the delivery end of the pump-nozzle unit. 2
- the characteristic curves are over time or the crank applied wave angle. From a third time T 3, a discharge of the piezoelectric actuator 1 is carried out by the charging unit 7 in accordance with the control by the control unit 5, so that the voltage U drops from the second voltage value U 2 to the third voltage value U 3 via a discharge gradient.
- the control valve needle 17 follows offset in time and lifts only at a fourth time T 4 from the sealing seat 14 ' : Due to the inertia of the system reaches the fuel pressure P in the pressure chamber 25 at a fifth time T 5, the maximum pressure value, after the fourth Time T 4 is.
- the third voltage value U 3 is reached at a sixth time T 6.
- a holding phase follows, which lasts up to a seventh time T 7, in which the charging unit 7 does not further influence the voltage at the piezoelectric actuator 1. Due to the piezoelectric effect increases in the holding phase between the sixth time and the seventh time T 6, T 7, the partial voltage slightly.
- the voltage at the piezoelectric actuator 1 is referred to as Diagramhubschreib during the holding phase.

Therefore, the Ambihubschreib can be used as a control parameter to control a partial stroke of the control valve needle 17. From the seventh point in time T 7, the charging unit 7 lowers the electrical voltage at the piezoelectric actuator 1 by a discharging process up to the fourth voltage value U 4, which in the illustrated embodiment corresponds to the value 0 volts.
- FIG. 4 shows a section of the piezo voltage between the third time T 3 and the seventh time T 7.
- the control method preferably uses the gradient course of the partial lift voltage between the sixth time point T 6 and the seventh time point T 7 during the holding phase individually as a controlled variable for each unit injector 2 of an internal combustion engine having a plurality of unit injectors.

In an internal combustion engine having a plurality of pump-nozzle units 2, an individual reference value is stored for each pump-nozzle unit. If the detected voltage gradient does not correspond to the stored voltage gradient, then a change in the control of the piezoelectric actuator is carried out in such a way that the actual voltage gradient of the partial stroke voltage at the actuator 1 is applied to the data memory 11 Approximates voltage gradients. In a simple embodiment, a maximum voltage value at the end of the holding phase is used as the control value for controlling the partial lift voltage.

- corresponding comparison amplitude profiles for the partial lift voltage are stored in the data memory 11 during the hold phase.
- the measuring arrangement 6 detects the amplitude curve of the piezoelectric voltage during the holding phase and forwards it to the control unit 5.
- the control unit 5 compares the detected amplitude curve of the
- the charging unit 7 is driven accordingly in order to obtain an alignment of the actual amplitude curve of the piezoelectric voltage during the holding phase to the comparison amplitude curve.
- the measured frequency is compared with a comparison frequency and the control of the charging unit unit 7 adapted in the manner in the next holding phase, that an approximation of the measured frequency takes place at the comparison frequency.
- the correction of the opening time of the control valve or the delivery end of the pump-nozzle unit is preferably achieved by a corresponding adjustment of the discharge energy cylinder-specific and the resulting behavior of the track.
- the resulting track behavior is characterized in that the movement of the control valve needle 17 is influenced by a fixed, electrical holding phase in such a way that it is reflected significantly in the voltage or also in the piezoelectric charge.
- the discharge energy is now adjusted until a desired reference curve of the amplitude of the voltage or a reference gradient of
- Adjusting voltage during the holding phase and thus reproducible and cylinder-specific opening behavior or the delivery end of the pump-nozzle unit can be controlled.
- the measuring arrangement 6 detects the voltage applied to the piezoelectric actuator 1 during a standardization pulse in which the piezoelectric actuator 1 is driven in accordance with a conventional injection, but the camshaft does not actuate the pump of the pump-nozzle unit.- The detection of the voltage
- the piezoelectric actuator 1 can also be performed during a normal delivery pulse.

- a reference gradient is provided as the setpoint value, which is connected to a first adding unit 20 is forwarded.
- the first adding unit 20 is supplied with a gradient of the measured voltage of the piezoelectric actuator 1 via a second input.
- the first adding unit 20 forms the difference between the nominal gradient of the data memory 11 and the measured gradient of the partial lifting voltage and forwards the difference to a first control block 21.
- the first control block 21 determines from the difference value a control signal for the charging unit 7.
- the control signal is forwarded from the first control block 21 to a second adding unit 22.
- a desired control signal is supplied to a second control block 23.
- the second control block 23 carries out a compensation with respect to the hysteresis behavior of the piezoelectric actuator 1 and outputs a corrected desired control signal to a second input of the second adder unit 22.
- the second adder unit 22 adds the corrected target control signal to the control signal and forwards an end control signal to the charging unit 7 ,
- the charging unit 7 determines from the Endêtsignal a piezoelectric voltage with which the piezoelectric actuator 1 is driven to starting from the second voltage U 2, a discharge of the actuator to the third voltage U 3 in the specified time from the third time T 3 to sixth time T 6 is discharged in order to obtain a Supplementhubschreib on the actuator 1 during the holding phase, which has a gradient according to the target gradient.
- the voltage delivered by the charging unit 7 is detected and a voltage gradient is determined, which is forwarded to the first adding unit 20.
- control valve needle of the pump-nozzle unit is analogously applicable to the control of a servo valve of a common-rail injection valve and analogously to the direct control of the nozzle needle of an injection valve the piezoelectric actuator controls the servo valve or the nozzle needle directly.
- a servo valve is actuated with the piezoelectric actuator, which produces a
- Control room connects to a drainage room.
- the control chamber is connected to an inlet to the pressure accumulator of the common rail.
- the nozzle needle is biased by the pressure in the control chamber to the associated sealing seat.
- the nozzle needle adjoins the control chamber directly or via a pressure piston.
- the pressure and area ratios are chosen so that when the servo valve is closed, the nozzle needle is pressed sealingly against the sealing seat by the pressure in the control chamber.
- the pressure in the control chamber decreases because less fuel flows into the control chamber via the inlet than it drains into the drainage chamber via the outlet.
- the pressure chamber is connected to the pressure accumulator of the common rail. Since the pressure in the pressure chamber does not drop, the nozzle needle is lifted from the fuel pressure in the pressure chamber by acting on the pressure surfaces of the sealing seat. This releases a connection between the pressure chamber and injection holes. Thus, fuel is discharged from the pressure space via the injection holes.
- the injection begins. To end the injection, the servovalve is closed again by activating the piezoelectric actuator. This stops the outflow via the drain and the pressure in the control room increases again. From a specified pressure in the control chamber, the nozzle needle is pressed against the pressure in the pressure chamber back to the sealing seat and the injection is stopped.
- a nozzle needle may also be actuated directly by a piezoelectric actuator become. This principle is particularly applicable to gasoline injectors.
- the servo valve in a common-rail injection system is activated as the control valve, thereby improving the injection behavior of the injection valve.
