TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for analyzing a function of at least one injection means in a combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Fareliggande uppfinning avser aven ett system anordnat far analys av en funktion for Atminstone ett insprutningsorgan i en forbranningsmotor enligt ingressen till patentkrav 19, samt ett datorprogram och en datorprogramprodukt, vilka implementerar forfarandet enligt uppfinningen. The present invention also relates to a system arranged for analysis of a function of at least one injection means in an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 19, as well as a computer program and a computer program product, which implement the method according to the invention.

Bakgrund Faljande bakgrundsbeskrivning utgar en beskrivning av bakgrunden till fareliggande uppfinning, och mAste suedes inte nadvandigtvis utgara tidigare kOnd teknik. Background The following background description is a description of the background to the present invention, and does not necessarily have to be prior art.

Farbranningsmotorer, sAsom exempelvis forbranningsmotorer innefattade i fordon eller fartyg, drivs av bransle, sasom exempelvis diesel, bensin, etanol, eller blandningar av sAdana branslen med varandra och/eller med tillsatser av olika slag. Branslet tillhandahAlls farbranningsmotorn av ett branslesystem, innefattande bland annat en eller flera bransletankar och anordningar vilka transporterar branslet tram bransletankarna till forbranningsmotorn. Anordningarna som transporterar branslet till motorn kan innefatta exempelvis ledningar far transport av branslet mom fordonet, en eller flera pumpar, vilka kan vara indelade i lag- respektive hogtryckskretsar, filter, kopplingar, och andra anordningar far bransletransport. BrOnslet sprutas in i motorns cylindrar av ett brOnsleinsprutningssystem vilket innefattar ett insprutningsorgan, Oven benamnt injektor eller insprutare, per cylinder. Insprutningsorganet kan exempelvis tillhandahAllas bransle av en common rail-enhet, vilken 1 537 277 tillhandahaller trycksatt brOnsle till alla insprutningsorganen, eller av separata enheter med trycksatt brOnsle for respektive insprutningsanordning. Combustion engines, such as internal combustion engines included in vehicles or ships, are powered by fuel, such as diesel, gasoline, ethanol, or mixtures of the fuel industry with each other and / or with additives of various kinds. The fuel provides the entire combustion engine with a fuel system, including one or more fuel tanks and devices which transport the fuel and the fuel tanks to the internal combustion engine. The devices that transport the fuel to the engine may include, for example, lines for transporting the fuel to the vehicle, one or more pumps, which may be divided into legal and high-pressure circuits, filters, couplings, and other devices for industry transport. The fuel is injected into the engine cylinders by a fuel injection system which includes an injection means, also called an injector or injector, per cylinder. The injection means can, for example, provide all the fuel industry with a common rail unit, which 1 537 277 provides pressurized fuel to all the injection means, or with separate units with pressurized fuel for the respective injection device.

Kortfattad beskrivning av uppfinningen Det Or Onskvart att lika mycket bransle sprutas in i var och en av motorns cylindrar nar motorn är igang far att erhalla ett jamnt moment fran motorn. Brief Description of the Invention It is desirable that the same amount of fuel be injected into each of the engine cylinders when the engine is running to obtain an even torque from the engine.

Insprutningsorganen sprutar dock ofta in olika mycket brOnsle i cylindrarna pa grund av individuella variationer far insprutningsorganen. Sadana individvariationer kan bero pa sma skillnader uppkomna vid tillverkningen av respektive insprutningsorgan. However, the injectors often inject different amounts of fuel into the cylinders due to individual variations of the injectors. Such individual variations may be due to small differences in the manufacture of the respective injection means.

Insprutningsorganen utsatts Oven far ett mekaniskt slitage Over tid, for vilket ett medelslitage fOr hela populationen av insprutningsorgan kan bestammas. I vissa fall kan Oven insprutningssystemet korrigera for detta medelslitage far att begrOnsa dess inverkan pa framforandet av fordonet. Injection means exposed Above, mechanical wear over time, for which an average wear for the entire population of injection means can be determined. In some cases, the Oven injection system can correct for this wear and tear to limit its impact on the driving of the vehicle.

Dock kan aven individuella skillnader mellan enskilda insprutningsorgans slitage foreligga pa grund av att insprutningsorganen har individuella egenskaper, vilka kan bero pa tillverkningsskillnader mellan insprutningsorganen och/eller pa slitage av insprutningsorganen. Framfarallt insprutningsorganens olika inslitningsbeteenden, vilka resulterar i individuellt olika slitage av insprutningsorganen, Or svara att faststalla och korrigera far med tidigare kanda losningar. However, individual differences between the wears of individual injectors can also exist due to the fact that the injectors have individual properties, which may be due to manufacturing differences between the injectors and / or in the wear of the injectors. In particular, the different wear behaviors of the injection means, which result in individually different wear of the injection means, are responsible for determining and correcting father with previously known solutions.

Eftersom insprutningsorganen utsdtts far ett mekaniskt slitage Over tid kan aven problem uppsta om en eller flera insprutningsorgan byts ut i fordonet. Det eller de nya insprutningsorgan som monteras i fordonet kommer da inte vara 2 537 277 inslitna och kommer uppfora sig annorlunda an de insprutningsorgan som inte har bytts ut. As the injection means are subjected to mechanical wear Over time, problems can also arise if one or more injection means are replaced in the vehicle. The new injection member (s) mounted in the vehicle will then not be worn in 537 277 and will behave differently from the injection members which have not been replaced.

De olika egenskaperna som kan uppsta far insprutningsorganen gor att momentet som tillhandahalls av forbranningsmotorn blir ojamnt. Detta illustreras schematiskt i figurerna la och lb, i vilka varvtalet co, vilket är relaterat till momentet M for motorn, far en attacylinders fyrtaktsmotor visas som funktion av vevvinkeln for vevaxeln. I figur la visas ett schematiskt exempel pa en motor med insprutningsorgan med vasentligen lika egenskaper, det vill saga atta insprutningsorgan som sprutar in vasentligen samma mangd bransle i respektive cylinder, varvid varvtalet okar och minskar vasentligen lika mycket vid insprutning av bransle i var och en av cylindrarna. Om exempelvis insprutningsorganen tillverkas med vasentligen lika egenskaper och darefter slits vasentligen pa samma satt kan varvtalet enligt figur la alltsa erhallas. The various properties that can arise from the injection means cause the torque provided by the internal combustion engine to be uneven. This is schematically illustrated in Figures 1a and 1b, in which the speed co, which is related to the torque M of the engine, is shown by an eight-cylinder four-stroke engine as a function of the crank angle of the crankshaft. Figure 1a shows a schematic example of an engine with injection means with substantially equal properties, i.e. eight injection means which inject substantially the same amount of fuel into each cylinder, the speed increasing and decreasing substantially the same when injecting fuel into each of the cylinders. If, for example, the injection means are manufactured with substantially the same properties and then wear essentially in the same way, the speed according to Figure 1a can thus be obtained.

Om en eller flera insprutningsorgan sprutar in en avvikande mangd bransle i respektive cylinder erhalls istallet ett ojamnt moment, sasom illustreras i figur lb. I det schematiska exemplet i figur lb sprutar insprutningsorganet i den fOrsta cylindern in far mycket bransle, det viii saga mer bransle an ovriga insprutningsorgan, vilket gOr att varvtalet 5kar for mycket vid insprutningen far denna cylinder och aven att varvtalet for atminstone den andra cylindern paverkas sa att aven dess varvtal blir for hogt. Sedan sjunker varvtalet far insprutningarna i de efterfoljande cylindrarna igen till dess att nasta cykels insprutningar borjar. Det i figur lb visade exemplet skulle ge ett av motorn ojamnt tillhandahallet moment, vilket har en negativ inverkan pa fordonets prestanda. If one or more injection means injects a deviating amount of fuel into the respective cylinder, an uneven torque is obtained instead, as illustrated in Figure 1b. In the schematic example in Figure 1b, the injector in the first cylinder injects a lot of fuel, that is to say more fuel than other injectors, which means that the speed increases too much during the injection in this cylinder and also that the speed of at least the second cylinder is affected so that even its speed becomes too high. Then the speed drops, the injections in the subsequent cylinders return until the next cycle's injections begin. The example shown in Figure 1b would give a torque unevenly supplied by the engine, which has a negative effect on the performance of the vehicle.

Dessutom kan det ojamna momentet samverka med resonanser i exempelvis ett fordon, sasom resonanser i drivlinan, vilket 3 537 277 gir att resonanserna och det ojdmna momentet firstdrker varandra och resulterar i relativt stora svangningar for drivlinan och/eller motormomentet. Svdngningar fir drivlinan och/eller momentet kan alltsi bli relativt stora och kommer di av en fOrare av ett fordon att upplevas irriterande och/eller obehagliga. In addition, the uneven moment can co-operate with resonances in, for example, a vehicle, such as resonances in the driveline, which results in the resonances and the uneven momentum reinforcing each other and resulting in relatively large oscillations for the driveline and / or the engine torque. Fluctuations in the driveline and / or torque can thus be relatively large and will be experienced by a driver of a vehicle as annoying and / or unpleasant.

Tidigare kanda losningar har farsakt motverka det ojdmna momentet genom att stalla in insprutningsorganen fir att kompensera fir, och minska, deras individuella skillnader. Previous kanda solutions have successfully counteracted the uneven momentum by setting up the injection means to compensate for, and reduce, their individual differences.

Dock kraver denna kompensation en analys av varvtalet under tomging och drift. Denna analys är svir att gOra robust, eftersom det är svArt att sarskilja de olika insprutningsorganen vid analysen pi grund av att resonanser forekommer i drivlinan och pi grund av att varvtalssignalen hela tiden piverkas av flera cylindrar, och dess insprutningsorgan, samtidigt, eftersom forbranningarna i cylindrarna ligger ndra varandra i tid och vevvinkel fir de olika cylindrarna. AvstAndet i vevvinkel mellan farbrdnningarna/insprutningarna beror av antalet cylindrar i motorn. For exempelvis en Attacylindrig motor kan det vara 900 mellan farbranningarna/insprutningarna, medan det kan vara 144° mellan dem i en femcylindrig motor. However, this compensation requires an analysis of the speed during tomging and operation. This analysis is difficult to make robust, because it is difficult to distinguish the different injection means in the analysis due to resonances occurring in the driveline and due to the fact that the speed signal is constantly pivoted by several cylinders, and its injection means, at the same time, because the combustion in the cylinders lie down each other in time and crank angle for the different cylinders. The distance in the crank angle between the burns / injections depends on the number of cylinders in the engine. For example, for an Attacyl-engine, it can be 900 between the burns / injections, while it can be 144 ° between them in a five-cylinder engine.

Resonanssvdngningarna i drivlinan kan ocksi ge upphov till svangningar som Or lika, och latt kan forvaxlas med, varvtalssvdngningar pi grund av defekta insprutningsorgan. The resonant oscillations in the driveline can also give rise to oscillations which are equal to, and can easily be confused with, speed oscillations due to defective injection means.

Alltsd gor flera faktorer att de tidigare kanda losningarna inte Or robusta och inte heller ger tillfarlitliga och/eller exakta resultat. Thus, several factors mean that the previously known solutions do not Or robusta nor give reliable and / or accurate results.

Det Or ddrfor ett syfte med fareliggande uppfinning att tillhandahilla ett forfarande och ett system fir analys av en 4 537 277 funktion for Atminstone ett insprutningsorgan vilka Atminstone delvis loser ovan namnda problem Detta syfte uppnas genom det ovan namnda forfarandet enligt den kannetecknande delen av patentkrav 1.

This first factor at is 537 277 If the adjusted amount M —adjust 1 — Madjust N fuel differs from the original amount M —pred fuel with a value that lies between the values of the first factor k1 and the second factor k2, is performed according to a embodiment a correction up to the value gets the first factor k1. Does the right have the correction to an area mom which a robust and controlled correction can certainly be carried out to reduce the risk that the correction will be harmful to benefit. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the iterative algorithm used in the analysis according to the invention comprises determining the adjusted industry length Madjust 1.-Madjust No. a bisection method.

Bisektionsmetoden kan ses som en iterativ intervallhalveringsmetod. Enligt bisektionsmetoden utfors i ett farsta steg en forsta fordndring av den ursprungliga mangden M —predet bransle och sedan analyseras vilken inverkan denna forsta fardndring av den ursprungliga mangden Mp redet bransle bar pa den justerade nedvarvningstiden Sedan utfars i dtminstone ett andra efterfaljande steg en halvering av den faregaende farandringen av den ursprungliga mdngden M —predet brdnsle. Konsekutiva halveringar av faregaende farandringar av den ursprungliga mangden M —predet bransle utfOrs sedan till dess att den justerade nedvarvningstiden Tadjust 1•••Tadjust N hamnar mom nedvarvningstidsintervallet Tpredet 1—Tpredet N; Tadjitst 1.-Tadjust N=Tpredet 1—Tpredet N • Sasom beskrivs ovan utgor i detta dokument Tpredet 1•••Tpredet N intervall i tiden far nedvarvningstider for respektive insprutningsorgan/cylinder. The bisection method can be seen as an iterative interval halving method. According to the bisection method, in a first step a first change of the initial amount of the M-prepared industry is performed and then the effect of this first change of the original amount of the prepared industry on the adjusted deceleration time is performed. In at least a second subsequent step a halving of the dangerous change of the original quantity M —predet fuel. Consecutive halves of hazardous changes of the original amount of the M —predet branch are then performed until the adjusted deceleration time Tadjust 1 ••• Tadjust N ends up with the deceleration time interval Tpredet 1 — Tpredet N; Tadjitst 1.-Tadjust N = Tpredet 1 — Tpredet N • As described above, Tpredet 1 ••• Tpredet N is the interval in time for downtimes for each injection means / cylinder.

Bisektionsmetoden är en robust numerisk ekvationslasningsmetod, vilken alltid konvergerar am lasningen djustad just N • 16 537 277 finns i det undersakta intervallet, och vilken kan implementeras med litet tillskott i komplexitet. The bisection method is a robust numerical equation lasing method, which always converges the lasing depth just N • 16 537 277 is in the investigated interval, and which can be implemented with a small addition in complexity.

Enligt en utfaringsform av foreliggande uppfinning innefattar den iterativa algoritmen, vilken utnyttjas vid analysen enligt uppfinningen far att faststalla den justerade mangden Madjust 1.-Madjust Nr en sekantmetod. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the iterative algorithm used in the analysis according to the invention comprises determining the adjusted amount of Madjust 1.-Madjust No. a secant method.

Sekantmetoden utnyttjar en eller flera sekantlinjer far att farandra den ursprungliga mangden M —predet bransle till dess att den justerade nedvarvningstiden Taaiust 1...Tadjust N hamnar mom nedvarvningstidsintervallet Tpredet 1.-Tpredet N; Tadjust 1—'adjust N—Tpredet I—Tpredet N • Sekantmetoden konvergerar ofta snabbare an bisektionsmetoden och kan implementeras med litet tillskott i komplexitet. Dock kan konvergens inte alltid garanteras for sekantmetoden. The secant method uses one or more secant lines to move the original amount of the M —pred branch until the adjusted deceleration time Taaiust 1 ... Tadjust N ends up with the deceleration time interval Tpredet 1.-Tpredet N; Tadjust 1 —'adjust N — Tpredet I — Tpredet N • The secant method often converges faster than the bisection method and can be implemented with a small addition in complexity. However, convergence can not always be guaranteed for the secant method.

Fackmannen inser att aven andra ekvationslasningsalgoritmer kan utnyttjas for att justera den ursprungliga mangden M —predet bransle sd att motsvarande justerade avvikande nedvarvningstid Tadjust 1•••Tadjust N for insprutningsorganet styrs mot nedvarvningstidsintervallet Tpredet 1•••Tpredet N • Faretradesvis kan robusta numeriska ekvationslosningsalgoritmer utnyttjas for att hitta den justerade mangden Madi Bransleinsprutningssystemet 130, insprutningsorganen 131_13N och deras funktion kan aven pdverkas av en eller flera omgivningsparametrar.

En sadan omgivningsparameter utgor ett tryck P vilket branslet som tillhandahAlls insprutningsorganen 131_13N har. Aven bransletemperaturen Tfuel hos branslet och/eller dess kemiska sammansattning Kmix kan utgara omgivningsparametrar som kan paverka insprutningen. ust 1—Madjust N • 17 537 277 En annan omgivningsparameter som kan pAverka insprutningen utgors av det antal brAnsleinsprutningar som utfors av insprutningsorganen 131_13N for respektive cylinder under en kompressionstakt och en forbrAnningstakt. I vissa motorer finns mOjlighet att utfora flera, exempelvis tre, insprutningar per slag. Such an ambient parameter constitutes a pressure P which the industry providingAll the injection means 131_13N has. The industry temperature Tfuel in the industry and / or its chemical composition Kmix can also be environmental parameters that can affect the injection. ust 1 — Madjust N • 17 537 277 Another environmental parameter which can affect the injection is the number of fuel injections performed by the injection means 131_13N for each cylinder during a compression stroke and a combustion stroke. In some engines it is possible to perform several, for example three, injections per stroke.

En annan omgivningsparameter utgors av vevvinkeln dl brAnsleinsprutningar utforda av insprutningsorganen 131_13N ska starta. Aven ett vevvinkelintervall mellan starter av tvA efter varandra foljande brAnsleinsprutningar utforda av insprutningsorganen 131_13N kan utgara en sAdan omgivningsparameter. Another environmental parameter is the crank angle dl fuel injections challenged by the injection means 131_13N are to start. Even a crank angle range between starts of two consecutive fuel injections challenged by the injection means 131_13N can constitute such an ambient parameter.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the procedure for the analysis is repeated, the seven steps described in connection with Figure 3, having different values for one or more of the above-mentioned environmental parameters. Since these environmental parameters can affect the function of one or more of the injection means 131_13N, and even in different ways, the repetition of the procedure for these different values results in an even more reliable and accurate analysis.

AlltsA faststalls olika adaptioner/korrektioner baserat pA olika vArden far omgivningsparametrarna. Exempelvis faststalls en adaption som Or lamplig vid lAgt bransletryck P och en annan adaption som Or lOmplig vid hogt brOnsletryck P. PA motsvarande satt kan olika adaptioner/korrektioner faststallas far olika vOrden p& de ovan namnda andra omgivningsparametrarna. Thus, different adaptations / corrections based on different values are determined by the environmental parameters. For example, one adaptation is found to be suitable for low fuel pressure P and another adaptation to be suitable for high fuel pressure P. In different ways, different adaptations / corrections can be determined for different values of the above-mentioned other environmental parameters.
