- the first time derivative .alpha of the actuator voltage u when the valve needle strikes its valve seat 38 has a local minimum Mu, which represents a clearly discernible deviation from the otherwise exponentially decaying time profile of the first derivative ⁇ .
- this local minimum Mu results from the fact that, when the valve needle 28 strikes its valve seat 38, the armature 30 loosens from the valve needle 28 by virtue of the non-vanishing mechanical backlash and initially continues in the closing direction, that is to say in FIG. 2b down, moving forward, before he hits the stop 34.

Therefore, according to the invention, the local maximum Mi or the bend at the time t2 can be analyzed and used as a criterion for the actual hydraulic closing of the injection valve 18a.

- the main current path 46 is represented in the block diagram according to FIG. 7 by the integrator with the time constant T h (not further described ) and a proportional element with the gain K Rs assigned to this integrator.
- Figure 8 shows a structure of the observer member 56 according to the invention, the input side, as already described, the actuator voltage u is supplied, and outputs at its output an observed actuator current ib.
- the adder 58 By means of the adder 58, a comparison is made between the observed actuator current ib and the actual measured actuator current i, for example, measured, which leads to the comparison result .DELTA.ib.
- the comparison result ⁇ ib is supplied to the feedback element 60, which forms an output quantity u kOrr therefrom , which is subtracted via the adder 62 from the detected actuator voltage u.
- the feedback element 60 may be formed, for example, as a proportional element, as a proportional-integral element or as a feedback element of higher order and / or more complex structure.

Since the difference between the real electromagnetic actuator 26, 30 and the replica shown in Figure 8 a corresponding control path in the observer member 56 in a lack of reaction of the armature movement, the output quantity U corr exact this reaction, this reaction has a proportionality to the speed of the armature 30. At the time of closing the injection valve 18a (FIG. 2a), as already described, there is no abrupt change in the speed of the magnet armature 30, but only the valve needle 28.
- the gradient of the output quantity U corr to the closing time t 2 (FIG. 4) is usually subjected to a sign change, which leads to an extremum in the temporal course of the output quantity u kOrr .
- This extremum is inventively detected and used as a signal for the closing time t2 of the injection valve 18a.
- Magnetic armature 30 and the output u kOrr be influenced.
- a filtering of interference signals can thereby be carried out, resulting in an even more precise evaluation.
- the method described with reference to FIGS. 6, 7, 8 advantageously operates independently of an actual actuator current i, an actuator voltage u or an impression of one or both of these variables and, in particular, also independent of an optionally existing operative connection between the two variables u, i.
- an internal size of the feedback element 60 can be used to detect the closing time t2 (FIG. 4). If the feedback element 60 is designed, for example, as a proportional-integral element, instead of the output quantity U corr, for example, only the integral component of the feedback quantity can be used. If less stringent requirements are placed on the significance of the output signal U korr with regard to the closing time t 2, the scatter path 48 of the equivalent circuit diagram depicted in FIG. 6 can also be neglected, resulting in a simpler evaluation.
- the inventive method is also suitable for closing time detection in conventional injectors with a rigid coupling between the electromagnetic actuator and the valve needle.
- the observer member 56 described with reference to FIG. 8 can be embodied both digitally and analogously and is preferably implemented in a computing unit of the controller 22 (FIG. 1).
- the operating method according to the invention also makes it possible to detect other operating states or state transitions of the injection valve 18a (FIG. 2a), which are accompanied by a correspondingly characteristic change in the acceleration of the armature 30.
- the operating method according to the invention also makes it possible to detect other operating states or state transitions of the injection valve 18a (FIG. 2a), which are accompanied by a correspondingly characteristic change in the acceleration of the armature 30.
- the information obtained according to the invention is used to control an operation of the injection valves 18a,... 18d.
