Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for determining reliability regarding misfire determination of cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The method comprises the step of detecting the pressure in the exhaust manifold arrangement of the internal combustion engine for a set of operation parameters comprising a certain range of crank angles for a certain engine load and certain engine speed so as to, for the actual cylinder setup of the engine, create a pressure sample value patterns for combustion and misfire conditions. A template course is created for the thus created pressure sample value patterns, said template course comprising a set of sample points. The pressure for the created template courses is normalized at a desired crank angle. The normalized template courses are stored. Then difference values are determined based upon difference between sample points and corresponding detected and normalized pressure values within in a desired range of crank angles. The thus determined difference values are summarized so as to determine whether a predetermined share of the summarized difference values lies above or below a predetermined threshold value so as to determine reliability regarding misfire determination. The present invention also relates to a control device for determining reliability regarding misfire determination of cylinders of an internal combustion engine. The present invention also relates to a vehicle. The present invention also relates to a computer program and a computer readable medium.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren und eine Anordnung zur Modellierung einer laminaren Flammgeschwindigkeit (f, f 0 ) vorgeschlagen. Dabei wird eine Korrelationsfunktion vorgeschlagen, bei der die Abhängigkeit der laminaren Flammgeschwindigkeit (f, f 0 ) von Druck (P) und Temperatur (T) getrennt von der Abhängigkeit von einer Abgasrückführrate (X EGR ) bzw. Verdünnung mit nichtreaktivem Gas modelliert wird. Dadurch ist es möglich, aus einer vergleichsweise geringen Anzahl von numerisch oder experimentell erzeugten Stützstellen für ein gegebenes Mischungsverhältnis (equivalence ratio; PHI) jeweils einen übersichtlichen Parametersatz (A1,..., A11) für die Modellierung der laminaren Flammengeschwindigkeit (f) anzugeben, womit für numerisch komplexe, insbesondere dreidimensionale Simulationen für jeden betrachteten Betriebspunkt schnell und akkurat jeweils die laminare Flammengeschwindigkeit (f, f 0 ) angegeben werden kann.
Abstract:
Using machine learning for misfire detection in a Dynamic firing level modulation controlled internal combustion engine is described. A neural network is used to calculate expected crank acceleration from various inputs, including the dynamically defined cylinder skip fire sequence. The output of the neural network is then compared to a signal indicative of the measured crank acceleration. Based the comparison, a prediction is made if a misfire has occurred or not. In alternative embodiment, the neural network is expanded to include the measured crank acceleration as an additional input. With the latter embodiment, the neural network is arranged to directly predict misfire events.
Abstract:
Es ist schon ein Verfahren zum Betreiben eines Zündsystems bekannt, bei dem eine Primärspule eines ersten Spannungserzeugers bestromt und die Bestromung der Primärspule unterbrochen wird, um einen Zündfunken an einer Funkenstrecke zu erzeugen. Weiterhin wird zum Stützen des von dem ersten Spannungserzeuger erzeugten Zündfunkens ein zweiter Spannungserzeuger betrieben. Während des Betriebs des Hochsetzstellers wird eine definierte regel- bzw. steuerbare Leistung an die Zündfunken abgegeben. Bei bestimmten Brennverfahren im Verbrennungsmotor gibt es im Brennraum jedoch sehr hohe Turbulenzen, die die Zündfunken an den Elektroden der Zündkerzen so stark auslenken, dass diese drohen abzureißen bzw. instabil werden. Durch die Auslenkung des Funkens steigt die elektrische Spannung über den Elektroden der Zündkerzen stark an, wobei der Funkenstrom entsprechend stark abfällt und somit ein Funkenabriss droht. Daher wird auf der Sekundärseite des Zündsystems der sekundärseitige Strom oder die sekundärseitige Spannung gemessen, um einen drohenden Funkenabriss erkennen zu können. Bei hohen Brennraumturbulenzen steigt die Spannung über den Zündkerzenelektroden stark an und die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Funkenabrisses steigt. Wenn dieser Funkenabriss vor der erfolgreichen Einleitung der Gemischenflammung auftritt ergibt sich ein unerwünschter Zündaussetzer. Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass unter der Voraussetzung, dass die Schwellwertbedingung erfüllt ist, eine erneute Zündung durch den ersten Spannungserzeuger eingeleitet wird.

The method comprises operating an engine and collecting a real-time accelerometer signal from an accelerometer sensor. The real-time accelerometer signal is digitized and filtered to isolate data in a frequency range associated with combustion to produce a filtered signal data set. The filtered signal data set is integrated to produce an integrated signal data set, and misfire is detected by comparing the integrated signal data set with a predetermined reference data set associated with the same operating point. The apparatus is a control system for an engine that comprises an accelerometer sensor mounted to the engine; a look-up table in which is stored predetermined reference data sets, in association with predetermined operating conditions; and an electronic controller programmed to: (i) receive real-time accelerometer signals from the accelerometer sensor, (ii) digitize and filter the real-time accelerometer signal to isolate data in a frequency range associated with combustion to produce a filtered signal data set, (iii) integrate the filtered signal data set to produce an integrated signal data set, and, (iv) compare the integrated signal data set to the predetermined reference data set to detect when misfire occurs.
