Definitions
- the invention is based on a method known from US Pat. No. 5,197,438 for operating a fuel injection device, in which the fuel is conveyed into a high-pressure accumulator under high pressure, the pressure of which is controlled by a pressure control valve, and from the fuel for injection electrically controlled injection valves is removed.
- a pressure control valve When operated in a known manner
- Fuel injection device can cause the high-pressure fuel storage system to leak, which is particularly critical in relation to the high injection pressures for injecting fuel in self-igniting internal combustion engines.
- the amount of fuel actually supplied to the high-pressure accumulator is not equal to the amount that is provided for fuel injection and is required for pressure control.
- Fuel injector malfunction. If a malfunction thus detected can be warned in an advantageous manner or a corresponding intervention in the fuel injection device can be carried out directly to avoid further damage.
- the amount of outflowing fuel required to regulate the pressure of the fuel pressure in the high-pressure accumulator is measured by means of a flow rate measuring device.
- Claim 4 detect a leakage amount occurring in the high-pressure part or check according to claim 5 whether the controlled fuel injection amount also corresponds to the amount of carbide actually injected.
- a high-pressure fuel accumulator 1 which is supplied with fuel via a delivery line 2 by a fuel pump 3, which draws fuel from a fuel tank 4, and which is brought to high injection pressure.
- a fuel pump 3 which draws fuel from a fuel tank 4, and which is brought to high injection pressure.
- the pressure in the high-pressure fuel reservoir is detected by a pressure transmitter 6, the signal of which is fed to a control device 7, by means of which, when a fixed or a desired pressure is exceeded, which may be dependent on a respective operating state of the associated internal combustion engine, by a corresponding signal Pressure control valve 9 is controlled.
- This is located in a fuel return line 10 from the high-pressure fuel reservoir to the fuel tank 4.
- Pressure lines 11 also lead from the high-pressure fuel reservoir, each of which is connected to a fuel injection valve 14, via which a desired amount of fuel can be injected into the internal combustion engine at the appropriate time .
- Quantity also takes place via the control device 7, which receives control signals corresponding to the speed and the load under which the associated internal combustion engine is to be operated, for this control.
- This fuel injection quantity is controlled e.g. B. in a known manner by solenoid valves that control the connection between the high pressure accumulator and the fuel injector. Any fuel control quantities that occur and flow back into the tank can also be conveyed back into the tank via the return line 10.
- the fuel pump is z. B. driven synchronously with the internal combustion engine operated by the fuel injection device, that is at a speed that is already detected for controlling the injection.
- the fuel pump can also be operated separately by a special drive, and the related drive speed of the fuel pump can also be detected, for. B. by a speed sensor 15.
- the amount of fuel supplied in the high-pressure fuel reservoir can now be detected indirectly with the aid of this speed, so that a flow rate measuring device for immediate measurable amount of fuel delivered can be dispensed with.
- the amount of fuel delivered by it can also be determined from the control signals or advantageously by means of a quantity measuring device 22.
- Fuel injection valves work correctly, because otherwise the internal combustion engine could be seriously damaged. With the aid of the quantity of fuel supplied via the feed pump 3 and the quantity of fuel discharged via the fuel injection valves 14 in connection with the quantity of fuel discharged to regulate the pressure of the fuel in the high-pressure accumulator and the control quantities which may arise for the injection device, a balance can now be drawn from the fuel supplied and remove the removed fuel. To do this, however, the
- Pressure control valve controlled fuel quantity can be measured by means of a flow rate measuring device 17 in the fuel return line 10.
- the signal corresponding to this quantity added to a signal which can be emitted by the control device and corresponds to the total fuel injection quantity in the time unit, is now compared with the aid of a comparison device 18 with the correspondingly processed signal for the delivery quantity of the feed pump 3 from the speed signal.
- the control device 7 a triggered by the comparison device 18, emits a signal for a display 20 or for an intervention in the operation of the fuel injection device. It can with this signal, for. B. the drive of the fuel pump 3 can be switched off or the entire fuel injection device in the internal combustion engine can be stopped or reduced to emergency operation.
- the function of the fuel injection valves can also be monitored if the high-pressure accumulator is tightly connected, in addition to high-pressure lines.
- a flow rate measuring device 22 shown in broken lines in the drawing, is used in the delivery line 2, which is to be referred to as the first flow rate measuring device, in contrast to the second flow rate measuring device 17 in the fuel return line 10. This results in an actual value of the amount of fuel injected. This is compared with the target injection quantity predetermined by the control device. The comparison result can be used to determine whether the fuel injection valves are working correctly and, if necessary, to form a correction value for the control device.
- a throttle inserted into the fuel return line 10 can be provided as the known flow rate measuring device 17 and the pressure before and after the throttle can be compared with one another in order to form a volume signal therefrom.
- Such flow rate measuring devices are e.g. described in connection with injection devices in DE-A-3722264. It is also possible to use other suitable sensors. For example, a sensor already used for another purpose can advantageously be used economically, e.g. Sensors that are also used for air mass measurement and are known from DE-A-29 19 433 for their physical structure.
