Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for controlling the total injection mass per working cycle during a multiple injection operation of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine is provided. In the method, an injection mass difference is determined from individual injection pulse to individual injection pulse, and transferred to the next individual injection pulse, in stepwise fashion. The injection mass difference remaining in the penultimate individual injection pulse is transferred to the final individual injection pulse to achieve a total injection mass with improved tolerance.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling a total injection mass per working cycle during a multiple injection operation of a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine, the method comprising: determining an individual quantity signal of individual injection pulses of the multiple injection operation; calculating a respective injection mass of an individual injection pulse as an individual injection pulse SETPOINT mass; measuring a first actually injected individual injection pulse mass as a first individual injection pulse ACTUAL mass of the first individual injection pulse using an operating parameter of the internal combustion engine; determining an injection mass difference between the SETPOINT mass and the ACTUAL mass of the first injection pulse; measuring a further actually injected individual injection pulse mass of a further individual injection pulse using the operating parameter of the internal combustion engine; transferring the injection mass difference to the further actually injected individual injection pulse mass of the further individual injection pulse; and determining a remaining difference in relation to an individual injection pulse SETPOINT mass of the further individual injection pulse, wherein the injection mass differences are determined and transferred up until a penultimate individual injection pulse, and a remaining difference of the penultimate individual injection pulse then obtained is transferred to an individual injection pulse ACTUAL mass of a final individual injection pulse of the multiple injection. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: controlling the individual injection pulses. 3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising: controlling quantity equalization at coil injectors. 4. The method as of claim 1 , wherein the method is used in Otto-cycle engines.
