    摘要: A method and a device for charging a capacitive actuator are described. The capacitive actuator, in particular for a fuel injection valve of an internal combustion engine, is charged or discharged with different charging and discharging times. In order to shorten the charging time, the capacitance of the recharging capacitor which is dimensioned for a maximum charging time is reduced at a predefined time during the charging process. Two exemplary embodiments of a device for carrying out the method are explained in more detail.

    摘要: A capacitive control element is charged with a defined charging voltage Uc. From a stored mapping KF, the instantaneous control element capacitance Cp is determined from the charge voltage Uc and a control element voltage Up. In addition, energy E supplied to the control element is determined from the charge voltage Uc and the control element capacitance Cp. According to a deviation of energy E fed to the control element from a stipulated amount of energy Ev, the charge voltage Uc for a next drive process of the control element is regulated. The same process occurs for additional control elements.

    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.

    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.
