    摘要: Various embodiments include a method for operating an internal combustion engine with a fuel injection system including a piezo actuator comprising: stopping the discharge phase of the actuator during an injection cycle; measuring a voltage profile at the actuator; comparing a feedback signal at the actuator with a setpoint value; varying the discharge time of the actuator in successive injection cycles until the feedback signal corresponds to the setpoint value; defining a servo valve closing time as a defined offset with respect to the optimized discharge time; and using the defined servo valve closing time to set an injection quantity of fuel for future injection cycles.

    摘要: Various embodiments may include a method for operating a diesel-common-rail piezo-operated servo injector comprising: partially charging the piezo-actuator from a non-charged state at 0 V (method a); partially discharging the piezo-actuator from an already charged state to a remaining limited charge (method b); measuring the piezo-voltage with both methods and comparing the results; when the comparison demonstrates correspondence within a predefined threshold, using method b in ranges in which method a cannot be carried out; and when the comparison does not demonstrate correspondence within the predefined threshold, using method a without using method b.

    摘要: A method for determining the opening for piezo servo-driven injectors may include measuring a voltage and a charge at an end of a charging process of the piezo actuator; determining a provisional scaling factor by calculating Q/U; determining the maximum of CVORL and using the instant at which the maximum occurs as an approximation value of the valve opening instant; measuring the charge and voltage at the approximation of the valve opening instant; solving the equation: 1.25×F2/E×C=(U×C−Q)2 Where F=force acting on the piezo actuator, E=electrical parameter of the piezo actuator; determining a new scaling factor from the solution of the equation; calculating the difference (U×C−Q) and determining a maximum of said value; and using the instant at which said maximum occurs as valve opening instant.
