Abstract

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Sensoranordnung und eine Motorsteuerungseinrichtung für einen Verbrennungsmotor, wobei die Motorsteuerungseinrichtung Sensormittel zur Erfassung motorlastindikativer Großen, Mittel zur Bestimmung der Motorlast anhand der von den Sensormitteln zugeführten Meßwerte sowie einen Drosselklappenstellungs-Regelkreis aufweist.The invention relates to a sensor arrangement and a Engine control device for an internal combustion engine, wherein the engine control device sensor means for detecting engine load indicative Large, means of determining the engine load based on the measured values supplied by the sensor means and a Has throttle position control loop.

Erfindungsgemäß sind wenigstens zwei der Sensoren Luftmassensensor, Ansauglufttemperatursensor, Saugrohrdrucksensor und Drosselklappenstellungssensor in einer Moduleinheit mikrointegriert angeordnet. Die Sensormittel der Motorsteuerungseinrichtung sind von einer solchen Sensoranordnung gebildet, wobei in der Moduleinheit zusätzlich zu den wenigstens zwei Sensoren die Mittel zur Motorlastbestimmung und/oder ein im Drosselklappenstellungs-Regelkreis verwendeter Drosselklappen-Lageregler mikrointegriert angeordnet sind.According to the invention, at least two of the sensors are air mass sensors, Intake air temperature sensor, intake manifold pressure sensor and throttle valve position sensor micro-integrated in a module unit arranged. The sensor means of the engine control device are formed by such a sensor arrangement, wherein in the module unit in addition to the at least two sensors the means for determining the engine load and / or in the throttle valve position control circuit Throttle position controller used are arranged micro-integrated.

Verwendung z.B. zur Steuerung von Ottomotoren in Kraftfahrzeugen.
