Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for controlling an internal combustion engine, in particular a self-igniting internal combustion engine. First means (200) specify a first signal (MLS, US) on the basis of at least one operating parameter (QK, N). Second means (235) specify a second signal (MLI) on the basis of at least the output signal from a lambda probe (125). A third means (220) calculates a third signal on the basis of the first signal and the second signal and applies it to a final controlling element (230). Furthermore, means (515, 520, 530, 610, 235) are provided for the temporal conditioning of the first and second signal.
Abstract:
A safety circuit arrangement for the high-voltage generator of an electrostatic filter, in particular of an electrostatic soot trap for diesel internal-combustion engines including a grounded filter housing and a filter electrode, has a power supply (15) which is connected to the high voltage generator (20) via controllable switching means (34). A and a shielded high-voltage cable (17), the high-voltage line (18) of which connects an output (24) of the high-voltage generator (20) to the filter electrode (14). To eliminate the risk to people caused by components carrying high voltage, the shield (19) of the high-voltage cable (17) is connected at one end to the filter housing (11), and at the other end to a control device (25) in such a way that an interruption of the shield (19) leads to the generation of a control signal for the switching means.
Abstract:
A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, in particular an in-line injection pump for Diesel engines, is proposed having an injection quantity governor and an electrically driven feed pump, in which in order to assure an emergency shutoff in the event of a malfunction of the injection quantity governor, a check valve, the forward flow direction of which is toward a suction chamber filled with fuel by the feed pump, is disposed between the pressure-side outlet of the feed pump and the suction chamber. An emergency shutoff device responding to a malfunction switches off the feed pump drive, so that because of the lack of feed pressure the check valve closes and blocks off the suction chamber. The engine comes to a stop, as soon as a partial vacuum is established in the suction chamber, which occurs as soon as several revolutions later.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus are proposed for determining and controlling an exhaust gas recirculation rate in internal combustion engines (Diesel engines), wherein an adjusting member in the exhaust gas recirculation line is adjusted by a regulator in order to attain precise regulation of the exhaust gas quantity recirculated to the aspirated air zone. The regulator is supplied with the exhaust gas temperature (T4) measured at a given time as the load signal for the engine. The comparison value of the regulator is then either an actual value of the exhaust gas recirculation rate, ascertained by means of effective temperature measurements in the intake zone of the engine, or a set-point differential temperature which is produced by means of measuring the aspirated air quantity at a given time and the rpm.
Abstract:
A regulator shaft, rotary centrifugal weights, and a governor member which is slidable on the regulator shaft, are arranged in a pressurized, fuel-filled inner chamber of a fuel injection apparatus. The centrifugal weights engage regulator springs via the governor member and a control sleeve. The governor member is closed adjacent the free end of the regulator shaft except for a throttle opening for communication with the inner chamber. The governor member is provided with a work chamber, one extremity of which is limited by the regulator shaft. A conduit leading to a fuel tank communicates with the work chamber. A magnetic valve connected to an electronic control device for control of the fuel flow is provided in the conduit. Opening the magnetic valve causes a pressure drop in the work chamber which in turn causes the governor member to press against the centrifugal weights, thus enhancing the fuel injection quantity so as to reduce deviations from those desired and pre-set.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for correcting the fuel quantity delivered by a fuel injection apparatus to an internal combustion engine, in particular for correcting the full-load fuel quantity per stroke, whereby a control value corresponding to the fuel injection quantity per time unit is formed and is converted into a control value corresponding to the fuel injection quantity by means of division of a value dependent on the rpm, the injection quantity per stroke being corrected by means of an adjustment of the fuel quantity control device of the fuel injection apparatus in accordance with the deviation of this converted control value from a set-point value.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system for controlling a mixture-compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engine which includes a fuel apportionment valve controllable by means of an air flow rate meter, with the fuel pressure upstream of the apportionment point being variable by means of a pressure regulating valve having a movable valve member which separates two chambers connected by a throttle point, and wherein the fuel pressure upstream of the fuel apportionment valve is exerted on one side of the movable valve member, and the force of a spring and a control pressure, which is variable by means of a control element in accordance with operating characteristics of the internal combustion engine, are exerted on the other side of the movable valve member to thereby intervene easily in order to vary the fuel-air mixture using small control forces.
Abstract:
A fuel injection device for mixture compressing, externally ignited internal combustion engines, which serves to meter the fuel proportional to the intake air and aspirates the air-fuel mixture. The fuel injection device includes an air flow rate meter located downstream of a butterfly valve in the air induction tube. The bearing shaft of the air flow rate meter includes a fuel metering valve which can be activated directly by the air flow rate meter. To correct the air-fuel mixture because of air density downstream of the butterfly valve, the fuel injection device is so arranged, that when the butterfly valve is in its idling and full load positions a rich air-fuel mixture can be regulated, and when the butterfly valve is in a partial load position a lean mixture can be regulated.
Abstract:
A fuel metering valve assembly includes an air flow metering member which actuates the movable part of a fuel metering valve. Depending on the displacement of this movable part, two cooperating openings, a control slot and a shaped control orifice, together define the effective flow cross section for the fuel delivered to the engine. In order to improve the resolution of the path of the moving part of the valve assembly, one of the cooperating openings, e.g. the control orifice, is formed as a triangular opening in a sleeve or bushing surrounding an axially slidable shaft which supports the air flow rate-responsive member. The triangular opening may also be defined within the wall of the shaft. The width of the control slot is defined by a spacer ring between two coaxial partial bushings and one edge of the triangular opening is defined by the oblique line separating two partial sleeves.
