Description
Procédé de commande individualisée d'ensembles d' actionneurs de soupapes par l'ECU Method of individual control of valve actuator assemblies by the ECU
La présente invention concerne un système de ges- tion d'un moteur thermique' à soupapes tel qu'un moteur multicylindre à quatre temps d'un véhicule automobile.The present invention relates to a man- agement system of an internal combustion engine 'in such valves a multicylinder four-stroke engine of a motor vehicle.
ARRIERE PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Un tel système de gestion comprend une unité de contrôle moteur (ou ECU pour "Engine Control Unit") re- liée par un bus série à une unité de contrôle de soupapes (ou VCU pour "Valve Control Unit") elle-même reliée à des actionneurs électromagnétiques de soupapes. L'unité de contrôle moteur est agencée pour définir, en fonction notamment du régime et de la charge du moteur, des instruc- tions de commande de soupapes qu'elle transmet sur le bus série dans une trame unique avec des informations relatives au fonctionnement du moteur tel que le régime moteur et sa température. Les instructions de commande comprennent des modes de déplacement des soupapes, des angles d'ouverture et des angles de fermeture de celles-ci. L'unité de contrôle de soupapes reçoit cette trame et élabore, à partir des instructions de commande contenues dans la trame, des consignes de pilotage des soupapes qu'elle transmet individuellement à chaque actionneur de soupape. L'architecture de ce système rend difficile pour les constructeurs son adaptation à différents types de moteur, plus particulièrement lorsque le nombre de cylindres est différent d'un moteur à l'autre. Ceci suppose en effet de reprogrammer l'unité de contrôle moteur et de changer l'unité de contrôle de soupapes pour un modèle adapté au nombre d' actionneurs à commander. En outre, l'unité de commande de soupapes renvoie à l'unité de contrôle moteur une trame unique contenant d'une part des informations indiquant si les instructions de commandes ont été effectivement appliquées ou pas et, d'autre part,
des informations relatives au fonctionnement de l'unité de contrôle de soupapes. Avec cette architecture du système de gestion, il est difficile de faire remonter des informations individualisées sur le fonctionnement des actionneurs.Such a management system comprises an engine control unit (or ECU for "Engine Control Unit") connected via a serial bus to a valve control unit (or VCU for "Valve Control Unit") itself connected to electromagnetic valve actuators. The engine control unit is arranged to define, in particular as a function of engine speed and load, valve control instructions which it transmits on the serial bus in a single frame with information relating to the operation of the engine. engine such as the engine speed and its temperature.

OBJET DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT OF THE INVENTION
Un but de 1 ' invention est de proposer un système ayant une relativement bonne flexibilité permettant, son adaptation à différentes configurations moteur ou à dif- férentes méthodes de pilotage.An object of the invention is to provide a system having a relatively good flexibility allowing its adaptation to different engine configurations or different steering methods.
RESUME DE L'INVENTIONSUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A cet effet, on prévoit, selon l'invention, un système de gestion d'un moteur thermique à soupapes, comprenant une unité de contrôle moteur et une pluralité d' actionneurs de soupapes, dans lequel l'unité de contrôle moteur est reliée à un bus de communication et les actionneurs sont répartis en au moins deux ensembles pourvus chacun d'une interface de connexion au bus de communication, l'unité de contrôle moteur étant agencée pour définir des consignes de pilotage des actionneurs et pour émettre dans le bus à destination de cet ensemble une trame individualisée comportant les consignes de pilotage de 1 ' ensemble concerné .For this purpose, it is provided, according to the invention, a management system of a valve engine, comprising an engine control unit and a plurality of valve actuators, wherein the engine control unit is connected to a communication bus and the actuators are distributed in at least two assemblies each provided with a connection interface to the communication bus, the engine control unit being arranged to define control commands of the actuators and to transmit on the bus to destination of this set an individualized frame including the steering instructions of 1 'set concerned.
Ainsi, les actionneurs sont répartis en plusieurs ensembles directement reliés au bus de communication et l'unité de contrôle moteur transmet directement à ces ensembles les consignes de pilotage. La répartition est fonctionnelle (c'est-à-dire de préférence logique au sein de l'unité de commande) et n'est pas liée à la structure physique du système de gestion.Thus, the actuators are divided into several sets directly connected to the communication bus and the engine control unit transmits directly to these sets the steering instructions. The distribution is functional (that is to say preferably logical within the control unit) and is not related to the physical structure of the management system.
De préférence, le moteur thermique comportant plusieurs cylindres ayant chacun au moins une soupape associée à un actionneur de soupape, chaque ensemble correspond à un cylindre. Ceci facilite l'adaptation du sys- tème de gestion à des moteurs ayant des nombres de cylin-
dres différents. L'intervention nécessaire sur l'unité de contrôle moteur se limite à une relativement petite modification de la programmation.Preferably, the thermal engine having several cylinders each having at least one valve associated with a valve actuator, each set corresponds to a cylinder. This facilitates the adaptation of the management system to engines with cylinder numbers. different. The necessary intervention on the engine control unit is limited to a relatively small modification of the programming.
L'unité de contrôle moteur, qui pilote en général directement l'injecteur et la bougie (dans les moteurs à allumage commandé) associés à chaque cylindre, pilote aussi ici l'ensemble d'actionnement de ce cylindre.The engine control unit, which usually directly controls the injector and the spark plug (in spark ignition engines) associated with each cylinder, also pilot here the actuating assembly of this cylinder.
De préférence, chaque actionneur est agencé pour émettre, dans le bus à destination de l'unité de contrôle moteur, une trame comportant une valeur d'un paramètre de fonctionnement de 1 ' actionneur .Preferably, each actuator is arranged to transmit, in the bus to the engine control unit, a frame comprising a value of an operating parameter of the actuator.
Il est ainsi possible de faire remonter à l'unité de contrôle moteur des informations précises relatives à chaque actionneur et notamment des angles réellement ap- pliqués, des températures de fonctionnement, des tensions... de telle manière qu'en cas d'anomalie, l'unité de contrôle moteur puisse décider de condamner l' actionneur défectueux.It is thus possible to trace back to the engine control unit precise information relating to each actuator and in particular the angles actually applied, the operating temperatures, the voltages, etc. in such a way that, in the event of an anomaly, , the engine control unit may decide to condemn the faulty actuator.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de 1 ' in- vention ressortiront à la lecture de la description qui suit d'un mode de réalisation particulier non limitatif de l'invention.Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from reading the following description of a particular non-limiting embodiment of the invention.
BREVE DESCRIPTION DES DESSINSBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
II sera fait référence à la figure unique annexée représentant schématiquement un système de gestion conforme à l'invention.Reference will be made to the single appended figure schematically showing a management system according to the invention.
DESCRIPTION DETAILLEE DE L'INVENTION En référence à la figure, le système de gestion conforme à l'invention comprend une unité de contrôle mo- teur 1 reliée à un bus de communication, ici un bus série 2, auquel sont reliés des actionneurs 3 de soupapes.DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to the figure, the management system in accordance with the invention comprises a motor control unit 1 connected to a communication bus, here a serial bus 2, to which actuators 3 of FIG. valves.
L'unité de contrôle 1 comprend de façon connue en elle-même un calculateur associé à une mémoire comprenant des données de cartographie d'angles d'ouverture et de fermeture de soupapes en fonction notamment du régime et
de la charge du moteur, de modes de déplacement des soupapes (commutation ou balistique)... L'unité de contrôle moteur est également reliée à des organes de détection du régime moteur, de la charge du moteur, de températures... et à d'autres composants du moteur thermique comme les injecteurs, les bougies, le système de refroidissement...The control unit 1 comprises, in a manner known per se, a calculator associated with a memory comprising mapping data of the opening and closing angles of the valves as a function, in particular, of the speed and the engine load, the modes of movement of the valves (switching or ballistics) ... The engine control unit is also connected to detection devices of the engine speed, the engine load, temperatures ... and to other components of the engine such as injectors, spark plugs, cooling system ...
Le bus 2 est ici un bus de type CAN (pour "Controller Area Network")The bus 2 is here a CAN bus type (for "Controller Area Network")
Les actionneurs 3 comportent de façon connue en soi un circuit de commande relié à un circuit de puissance lui-même relié à des bobines d'attraction d'un organe d1 actionnement des soupapes vers deux positions extrêmes correspondant respectivement à la position d'ouverture de la soupape et à la position de fermeture de la soupape.The actuators 3 comprise in known manner a control circuit connected to a power circuit itself connected to attraction coil of an organ of one actuation of the valves to two extreme positions corresponding to the open position respectively of the valve and the closed position of the valve.
Chaque actionneur 3 est pourvu d'une interface de connexion 4 au bus 2 permettant au circuit de commande de 1' actionneur de recevoir des trames émises à son intention par l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 et de renvoyer des trames à l'unité de contrôle moteur 1. Chaque actionneur 3 associé à une interface de connexion 4 constitue un ensemble avec lequel communique l'unité de contrôle moteur 1.Each actuator 3 is provided with a connection interface 4 to the bus 2 allowing the control circuit of the actuator to receive frames sent to it by the engine control unit 1 and to return frames to the control unit. motor control 1. Each actuator 3 associated with a connection interface 4 constitutes an assembly with which the motor control unit 1 communicates.
L'unité de contrôle moteur 1 est ainsi agencée pour émettre à destination de chaque actionneur 3 des trames comportant des consignes de pilotage de l' actionneur 3 sur deux tours de vilebrequin (ces consignes comprennent les angles d'ouverture et de fermeture des soupapes, le mode de déplacement...) et des informations sur des paramètres de fonctionnement du moteur tels que le régime, la température de liquide de refroidissement...The engine control unit 1 is thus arranged to transmit to each actuator 3 frames having actuating instructions of the actuator 3 on two crankshaft turns (these instructions include the opening and closing angles of the valves, the mode of movement ...) and information on engine operating parameters such as engine speed, coolant temperature, etc.
L'ensemble formé par le circuit de commande de 1' actionneur 3 et l'interface de connexion 4 est agencé pour, à la réception d'une trame émise a son intention par l'unité de contrôle moteur 1, extraire de la trame
les consignes de pilotage et commander le circuit de puissance de l'actionneur conformément aux consignes de pilotage reçues et pour renvoyer à l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 une trame comprenant des informations de dia- gnostic de l'actionneur telles que les angles d'ouverture et de fermeture réellement appliqués, la température de l'actionneur, la tension au sein de l'actionneur... et autres informations de ce type qui peuvent notamment révéler un disfonctionnement par exemple de l'actionneur. A la réception des trames provenant de ces ensembles, l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 analyse les informations reçues notamment pour vérifier que l'une d'entre elles n'est pas révélatrice d'une défaillance susceptible à terme d'entraîner un dysfonctionnement général du mo- teur. Le cas échéant, l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 peut décider de stopper l'actionneur défaillant.The assembly formed by the control circuit of the actuator 3 and the connection interface 4 is arranged to receive a frame transmitted for it by the engine control unit 1, to extract the frame the control instructions and control the power circuit of the actuator in accordance with the received piloting instructions and to send back to the engine control unit 1 a frame comprising actuator diagnostic information such as the angles of the actuator. opening and closing actually applied, the temperature of the actuator, the voltage within the actuator ... and other information of this type which may in particular reveal a malfunction for example of the actuator. On receipt of the frames from these sets, the engine control unit 1 analyzes the information received in particular to verify that one of them is not indicative of a failure likely ultimately cause a general malfunction of the motor. If necessary, the engine control unit 1 may decide to stop the faulty actuator.
On peut prévoir qu'au sein de l'unité de contrôle moteur 1, les actionneurs soient affectés à des groupes et que, lorsqu'un actionneur d'un groupe est défaillant, l'unité de contrôle stoppe tous les actionneurs du groupe. Il va de soi que moins les groupes comporteront d ' actionneurs, moins leur condamnation sera pénalisante pour le fonctionnement du moteur.It can be provided that within the engine control unit 1, the actuators are assigned to groups and that, when an actuator of a group is defective, the control unit stops all the actuators of the group. It goes without saying that the fewer the groups will include actuators, the less their conviction will be penalizing for the operation of the engine.
De préférence, les actionneurs sont regroupés de façon fonctionnelle ou logique au sein de l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 par cylindre. Chaque trame envoyée par l'unité de contrôle moteur 1 contient ainsi des consignes de pilotage et des informations concernant l'actionneur ou les actionneurs d'un cylindre. Lorsqu'il y a plus d'un actionneur par cylindre, il est alors possible de prévoir un circuit de commande commun à tous les actionneurs d'un cylindre.Preferably, the actuators are operably or logically grouped within the engine control unit 1 per cylinder. Each frame sent by the engine control unit 1 thus contains steering instructions and information concerning the actuator or the actuators of a cylinder. When there is more than one actuator per cylinder, it is then possible to provide a control circuit common to all the actuators of a cylinder.
Lorsque l'un des actionneurs d'un cylindre est défaillant, l'unité de contrôle moteur n'émet plus de trames à destination du ou des actionneurs de ce cylin-
dre. Le moteur thermique comportant au moins deux cylindres peut néanmoins continuer à fonctionner au moins pour permettre au véhicule de rejoindre le lieu où il sera réparé. Le regroupement par cylindre facilite en outre l'adaptation du système de gestion à des moteurs comportant des nombres de cylindres différents.When one of the actuators of a cylinder fails, the engine control unit no longer sends frames to the actuator (s) of this cylinder. dre. The heat engine having at least two cylinders may nevertheless continue to operate at least to allow the vehicle to reach the place where it will be repaired. The grouping by cylinder also facilitates the adaptation of the management system to engines with different numbers of cylinders.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et on peut y apporter des va- riantes de réalisation sans sortir du cadre de l'invention tel que défini par les revendications.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment described and variant embodiments can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims.
En particulier, bien que l'invention ait ici été décrite avec des ensembles de pilotage comprenant un seul actionneur, un tel ensemble peut regrouper deux action- neurs ou plus, étant entendu qu'il est nécessaire qu'il y ait au moins deux ensembles.
In particular, although the invention has here been described with control assemblies comprising a single actuator, such a set may include two or more actuators, it being understood that it is necessary that there be at least two sets .
