摘要:
A method for operating a piston-type internal-combustion engine having electromagnetic valve trains for actuating the cylinder valves, which respectively have an armature that can move back and forth between two electromagnets, counter to the force of restoring springs, with the valves being completely variably actuated by an electronic engine timing control unit. The functioning of the electromagnetic valve trains of each cylinder is detected in the engine timing control unit during operation, and when a functional failure of an electromagnetic valve train is detected at a cylinder, the electromagnet of the failed electromagnetic valve train is acted upon with a capturing current, which brings the armature into an end position at an electromagnet, and from this end position, the electromagnetic valve train is actuated for the ongoing work cycle of the cylinder.

A method for controlling an electromagnetic actuator operating a gas exchange valve in an internal combustion piston engine. Between two electromagnets an armature, connected to the gas exchange valve, is reciprocated by a return spring between the electromagnets whose alternating energization moves the valve into open and closed positions. The lift of the armature is detected by a sensor array during its movement from one pole face to the other. Depending on the detected actual values of the armature lift, the energy flow to the electromagnets is controlled such that the armature moves at a speed tending to zero at a predetermined distance range from the pole face of the capturing electromagnet. At the end of the lift motion, the current flow through the capturing electromagnet is guided in such a way that the armature is maintained oscillating at a short distance from the pole face of the capturing electromagnet.

An electromagnetic actuator for actuating a gas-reversing valve on a piston internal combustion engine includes two electromagnets. Each electromagnet includes a one yoke body presenting a pole face. The pole faces of the two electromagnets face each other at a distance. Each yoke body has two parallel grooves that are open toward the pole face and form a coil window with a coil disposed in the coil window. An armature is arranged to move back and forth between the pole faces counter to the force of at least one restoring spring. The two electromagnets each have a different load profile.

An engine valve assembly for an internal-combustion engine includes an engine valve having open and closed positions and a first oscillating mass; a closing spring connected to the valve for urging it into its closed position. The assembly has an electromagnetic actuator which operates the valve and which includes a first and a second electromagnet having respective first and second pole faces oriented toward one another and defining a space therebetween; an armature movable back and forth in the space between the first and second pole faces; and a guide bar affixed to the armature. The guide bar has an end oriented toward the valve and defining therewith a valve clearance when the valve is in its closed position and the armature is in contact with one of the electromagnets. The armature and the guide bar together have a second oscillating mass which is at least twice the first oscillating mass. The assembly further has an opening spring connected to the guide bar for urging the armature and the guide bar toward the valve.

A sensor arrangement for recording the movement of an armature on an electromagnetic actuator for operating a control element, in particular for operating a gas exchange valve of an internal combustion engine, has an axially displaceable bar-like sensor piece, made from a soft magnetic material, having a ring of electrically conducting material of low ohmic resistance. The sensor piece is connected to the control element and to a fixed coil arrangement surrounding the bar-like sensor arrangement at least over a partial length, the coil arrangement comprising at least two coils, arranged one behind the other and connected to a voltage supply and a signal recorder in the form of a carrier frequency measuring bridge, whereby the bar-like sensor piece reduces interfering voltages.

A method for controlling the current supply to an electromagnetic valve for operating a cylinder (gas exchange) valve (6 and 7) in a piston-type internal combustion engine, wherein the interior cylinder pressure is detected at least for determining the time "valve opens", and the detected pressure is supplied to the engine control device (14) as a measuring signal. Thereafter the respective actual time of switching off the retaining current at the retaining electromagnet (9, 10), on the one hand, and switching on the capturing current at the capturing electromagnet (9, 10) on the other hand, are corrected as a function of the detected interior cylinder pressure.

A method of controlling a supply current applied to an electromagnet of an electromagnetic actuator by a control unit for obtaining a low impact speed of a reciprocating armature of the actuator upon arrival of the armature at a pole face of the electromagnet, includes the following steps: during travel of the armature toward the pole face detecting displacements of the armature and a sequence of the armature speed as actual values; comparing the actual values with a performance characteristic field stored in the control unit and relating to a predetermined relationship between armature speed and armature displacement for the armature travel toward the pole face; determining a desired value for the supply current from the comparison step; comparing an actual value for the supply current with the determined desired value; adjusting the supply current based on a difference between the actual and desired values; and applying the adjusted supply current to the electromagnet.

The invention relates to a method for controlling an electromagnetic actuator for activating a gas exchange valve on a reciprocating internal combustion engine, said gas exchange valve having two electromagnets that are set apart from each other and between which an armature that acts on the gas exchange valve against the force of at least one return spring is guided in such a way that it can move back and forth between the pole faces of the two electromagnets. The electromagnets are alternately subjected to a receiving current by means of a control unit and the movement of the armature on its path from one pole face to the other is detected by means of a sensor unit. Actual values relating to the movement of the armature are detected by the sensor unit in a first phase (I) beginning with the start of the release of the armature from the pole face of the holding electromagnet; the receiving electromagnet is controlled by the control unit in terms of the supply of current, according to the detected actual values relating to the movement of the armature, in a second phase (II), in such a way that the armature moves at a predetermined speed and with an acceleration around zero, within a predetermined range away from the pole face of the receiving electromagnet; and in a third phase (III), the supply of current of the receiving electromagnet is influenced in such a way that the armature meets the pole face at a predetermined minimum speed.
