摘要:
In an actuator unit for an injection system of an internal combustion engine, the difference in the longitudinal extension when a change of temperature of the piezoelectric actuator element occurs affecting the actuator unit is equalized compared to the actuator housing due to different thermal expansion coefficient values in that a fastening element is arranged on the actuator housing. The fastening element is made of a different material than the actuator housing and thus affects a force acting counter to the change of length of the actuator housing.

摘要:
A method of driving at least one capacitive actuator with a charge voltage. From a charge quantity .DELTA.Q supplied to the actuator and from the actuator voltage U.sub.p applied to the actuator after the charging operation is terminated, the actuator capacitance is calculated by the equation C.sub.p =.DELTA.Q/U.sub.p. From these values, the energy E.sub.actual =0.5*C.sub.p *U.sub.p.sup.2 =0.5*.DELTA.Q*U.sub.p is calculated. The charge voltage is regulated such that the energy actually supplied is equivalent to a specified desired value.

A device for driving at least one capacitive actuator contains two capacitors C1 and C2 connected in parallel. The two parallel-connected capacitors C1, C2 are charged to an output voltage U.sub.SNT of a voltage source SNT. The actuator is charged with a voltage U.sub.C1+C2 =2*U.sub.SNT by the capacitors, and thereafter discharged into the capacitors, which are again connected in parallel and are subsequently recharged to the output voltage U.sub.SNT of the voltage source SNT.
摘要:
An piezo actuator loading signal is determined and generated according to an output value and a pilot control value which depends on at least one operational parameter. The loading signal causes that a valve member moves into a valve seat. A first value characteristic of the electric power fed to the actuator when the valve member hits the valve seat is determined while a second value characteristic of the energy delivered to the actuator is determined when the loading process of the actuator has been completed. A real value characteristic of a sealing force with which the valve member is pressed onto the valve seat is determined according to the first and second value. The real value and a predefined setpoint value are fed to the controller which accordingly adjusts a pilot control value assignment instruction which is used for determining the pilot control value if a predefined condition is met.

摘要:
A method for controlling a capacitive actuator includes the steps of determining an energy applied to an actuator, measuring an actuator voltage present at the actuator, and inferring a functional state of the actuator by using the energy and the actuator voltage. A capacitive actuator is fed energy and the actuator voltage present at the actuator is measured. The energy and the comparison of the actuator voltage with reference values are used to infer a functional state, for example, either faults or correct function of the actuator or injection valve. Furthermore, the actuator voltage is used to infer an actuator stroke. The method is based on actuator characteristics. The invention also includes a circuit for controlling a capacitive actuator having a driving circuit with a main switch, a charging capacitor, a first series circuit including an oscillating coil, an auxiliary switch, and a second series circuit having a discharging switch, a charging switch, and a diode to be connected to the actuator, and a control device having a program and a family of characteristics with actuator characteristics defining characteristic curves, reference values, and correction factors.

A control element, in particular a piezoelectrically operated fuel injection valve in an internal combustion engine, is charged, in order to compensate for stochastic reactions in the internal combustion engine, with a constant nominal voltage applied to a series circuit that includes a charge capacitor and a charge reversal capacitor, and it is discharged into the charge reversal capacitor to a prescribed voltage value. The remaining residual charge of the control element is charged into the charge capacitor via a limiter path.
摘要:
A method of diagnosing an actuator includes supplying a predeterminable amount of energy to an actuator through a charge-reversal circuit. Faulty functional statuses of the actuator and its supply lines and/or its drive circuits, short- or long-term interruptions, short-circuits within the actuator or its supply lines, or excessively low capacitance values may be deduced from a discrepancy between reference values and determined variables including actuator voltage, actuator current, and actuator charge. A short-circuit of an electrical connection within the actuator or an electrical connection between the drive circuit and the actuator can be deduced if the actuator voltage is less than a lower voltage value. An interruption in the electrical connection within is the actuator or an electrical connection between the drive circuit and the actuator may be deduced if an actuator peak current is less than a lower current value. An apparatus for performing the method is also provided.
