Description
La présente invention concerne un système de commande de l'alimentation électrique d'un actionneur piézoélectrique d'un injecteur de carbu rant dans un cylindre de moteur de véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a system for controlling the power supply of a piezoelectric actuator of a fuel injector in a motor vehicle engine cylinder.
On connaît<B>déjà</B> dans l'état de la technique, des systèmes de ce type qui comportent un calculateur de pilotage de moyens d'alimentation électrique de l'actionneur pour contrôler la quantité de carburant injectée dans le cylindre. Already known <B> already </ B> in the state of the art, systems of this type which include a control computer actuator power supply means for controlling the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder.
De façon générale, on utilise dans l'état de la technique, une com mande en modulation d'amplitude de la tension d'alimentation de l'actionneur piézoélectrique pour contrôler la quantité de carburant injectée dans moteur. Generally speaking, an amplitude modulation command of the supply voltage of the piezoelectric actuator is used in the state of the art to control the quantity of fuel injected into the engine.
Cependant, le niveau de bruit de fonctionnement d'un actionneur piézoélectrique est directement lié<B>à</B> la puissance de commande celui-ci et l'on conçoit que plus la puissance de commande est élevée, plus le bruit de fonctionnement est important et atteint rapidement des niveaux inacceptables sur un véhicule de série. However, the operating noise level of a piezoelectric actuator is directly related to the control power thereof and it is conceivable that the higher the control power, the higher the operating noise. is important and quickly reaches unacceptable levels on a production vehicle.
Le but de l'invention est donc de résoudre ces problèmes. The object of the invention is therefore to solve these problems.
<B>A</B> cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de commande de l'alimentation électrique d'un actionneur piézoélectrique d'un injecteur de carbu rant dans un cylindre de moteur de véhicule automobile, du type comportant un calculateur de pilotage de moyens d'alimentation électrique de l'actionneur pour contrôler la quantité de carburant injectée dans le cylindre, caractérisé en ce que les moyens d'alimentation comprennent des moyens d'alimentation de Ilactionneur <B>à</B> amplitude constante et en modulation de largeur d'impulsion. For this purpose, the object of the invention is a system for controlling the power supply of a piezoelectric actuator of a fuel injector in a motor vehicle engine cylinder, of the type comprising a control computer for actuator power supply means for controlling the quantity of fuel injected into the cylinder, characterized in that the supply means comprise actuator supply means <B> to </ B> constant amplitude and pulse width modulation.
L'invention sera mieux comprise<B>à</B> la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement<B>à</B> titre d'exemple et faite en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels<B>:</B> <B>-</B> la Fig.1 représente un schéma synoptique illustrant la structure d'un système de commande selon l'invention<B>;</B> et <B>-</B> la Fig.2 illustre le fonctionnement de celui-ci. The invention will be better understood by reading the description which will follow, given only by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings, in which <B> to </ B> Fig.1 shows a block diagram illustrating the structure of a control system according to the invention, and <B> - </ b> </ b> </ b> </ b> B> Fig.2 illustrates the operation thereof.
On a en effet représenté sur la figure<B>1,</B> un système de commande de l'alimentation électrique d'un actionneur piézoélectrique d'un injecteur de carbu rant dans un cylindre de moteur de véhicule automobile. In FIG. 1, a control system for the power supply of a piezoelectric actuator of a fuel injector in a motor vehicle engine cylinder has indeed been represented.
Sur ces figures, l'actionneur et l'injecteur sont désignés par la réfé rence générale<B>1</B> et un tel système comporte un calculateur 2 de pilotage du fonctionnement de moyens d'alimentation électrique<B>3</B> de l'actionneur pour troler la quantité de carburant injectée dans le cylindre. In these figures, the actuator and the injector are designated by the general reference <B> 1 </ B> and such a system comprises a control computer 2 for controlling the operation of power supply means <B> 3 </ B> of the actuator to troll the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder.
Le calculateur de pilotage 2 reçoit en effet un certain nombre d'informations relatives au fonctionnement du véhicule pour déterminer un ordre pilotage des moyens d'alimentation électrique<B>3</B> afin de contrôler la quantité carburant<B>à</B> injecter dans le cylindre correspondant du moteur afin d'adapter fonctionnement de ce moteur aux conditions de roulage du véhicule. The control computer 2 indeed receives a certain amount of information relating to the operation of the vehicle to determine a control order of the power supply means <B> 3 </ B> in order to control the fuel quantity <B> to </ B> inject into the corresponding cylinder of the engine in order to adapt the operation of this engine to the driving conditions of the vehicle.
Comme cela a été indiqué précédemment, dans l'état de la techni ces moyens d'alimentation comprennent des moyens d'alimentation Vactionneur en modulation d'amplitude, ce qui présente un certain nombre d'inconvénients, notamment au niveau du bruit de fonctionnement de l'actionneur de l'injecteur. As indicated above, in the state of the art, these power supply means comprise amplitude modulating supply means Vacuum, which has a certain number of disadvantages, in particular with regard to the operating noise of the actuator of the injector.
Selon l'invention, ces moyens d'alimentation<B>-3</B> comprennent moyens d'alimentation de l'actionneur<B>à</B> amplitude constante et en modulation largueur d'impulsion de type classique, comme cela est illustré sur la figure ces moyens pouvant ou non être intégrés au calculateur. According to the invention, these supply means <B> -3 </ B> comprise power supply means of the actuator <B> at constant amplitude and in pulse width modulation of conventional type, such as this is illustrated in the figure these means may or may not be integrated into the computer.
Ceci permet alors de réduire le bruit de fonctionnement de l'actionneur piézoélectrique tout en conservant des performances notamment en terme it minimum injecté, équivalentes<B>à</B> celles des systèmes de commande l'état de la technique. This then makes it possible to reduce the operating noise of the piezoelectric actuator while maintaining performances, in particular in terms of minimum injected, equivalent to those of control systems in the state of the art.
Ce système peut trouver des applications pour la commande l'alimentation en carburant des moteurs Diesel avec système d'alimentation rampe commune, mais également sur des moteurs<B>à</B> essence<B>à</B> injection directe exemple.This system can find applications for controlling the fuel supply of diesel engines with common rail feed system, but also on engines <B> to </ B> gasoline <B> to direct injection example .
