Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Einstellen eines Leerhubs eines Stellantriebs eines Einspritzventils und In ektorbaugruppe Method and device for adjusting an idle stroke of an actuator of an injection valve and Inktorbaugruppe

Immer strengere gesetzliche Vorschriften bezüglich der zuläs¬ sigen Schadstoffemission von Brennkraftmaschinen, die in Kraftfahrzeugen angeordnet sind, machen es erforderlich, diverse Maßnahmen vorzunehmen, durch welche die Schadstoffemis¬ sionen gesenkt werden. Die Bildung von Schadstoffen ist stark abhängig von der Aufbereitung des Luft/Kraftstoff-Gemisches in dem jeweiligen Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine. Eine entsprechend verbesserte Gemischaufbereitung kann erreicht werden, wenn der Kraftstoff unter sehr hohem Druck zugemessen wird. Für Brennkraftmaschinen mit Diesel betragen die Fluid- drücke über 2000 Bar. Insbesondere werden im Falle von Brenn¬ kraftmaschinen hohe Anforderungen an die Präzision der Increasingly strict legal requirements regarding the zuläs ¬ sigen pollutant emission of internal combustion engines, which are arranged in motor vehicles, making it necessary to take various measures, which are reduced by the Schadstoffemis ¬ emissions. The formation of pollutants is highly dependent on the treatment of the air / fuel mixture in the respective cylinder of the internal combustion engine. A correspondingly improved mixture preparation can be achieved if the fuel is metered under very high pressure. For internal combustion engines with diesel, the fluid amount pressures over 2000 bar. In particular, in the case of internal combustion engines ¬ high demands on the precision of the
Injektorbaugruppe gestellt. Injector assembly provided.

This has the advantage that an available during operation of the injector size for adjusting the idle stroke can be used.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird die axiale Spannkraft auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse wenigstens teilweise aufgebracht mittels einer von dem Ein¬ spritzventil separat ausgebildeten Spannvorrichtung. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die axiale Spannkraft unabhängig von Kompo¬ nenten des Einspritzventils durch die Spannvorrichtung auf den In ektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse aufgebracht wer¬ den kann.

Die axiale Spannkraft des Spannelements auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse wird solange variiert, bis der Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Wertebereich liegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass unterschiedliche axiale Spannkräfte der Spannelemente, beispielsweise bei Spannelementen aus unter¬ schiedlichen Fertigungschargen, durch die Spannvorrichtung ausgeglichen werden können.

A dependent on the determined base value second value of the axial clamping force of the clamping device is determined.

The axial clamping force of the clamping element on the injector body and the actuator housing is varied until the value of the representative for the idle stroke of the actuator electrical variable is in the predetermined value range. This has the advantage that different axial clamping forces of the clamping elements, for example in clamping elements from under ¬ different production batches, can be compensated by the clamping device. Thus, a correct with regard to the accuracy of Leerhubs mounting of the clamping element can be achieved. Thus, a high accuracy can be achieved when setting the idle stroke.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird, nachdem die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung mit dem ermittelten zweiten Wert auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedge¬ häuse aufgebracht wird, die axiale Spannkraft des Spannele- ments auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse zuerst solange variiert, bis der Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in einem vorgegebenen Grenzbereich außerhalb des vorgegebenen Wertebereichs liegt. Die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung mit dem ermittelten zweiten Wert wird auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse anschließend noch solange aufgebracht, bis der Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Wertebereich liegt. Der Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse werden anschließend vollständig von der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung entlastet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass ein nachträgliches Fließen des Injektorkörpers und/oder des Stellgliedgehäuses unterbleibt, das heißt, dass der Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellan¬ triebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Wertebereich sich geringstmöglich ändert. In a further advantageous embodiment, after the axial clamping force of the clamping device to the determined second value to the injector body and the Stellgliedge ¬ housing is applied, the axial tension force of the Spannele- ments on the injector and the actuator housing first varies until the value of the representative of the idle stroke of the actuator electrical quantity in a predetermined limit range outside the predetermined value range. The axial clamping force of the tensioning device with the determined second value is then applied to the injector body and the actuator housing until the value of the electrical variable representative of the idle stroke of the actuator is within the predetermined value range. The injector body and the actuator housing are then completely relieved of the axial clamping force of the separate from the injector tensioner. This has the advantage that a subsequent flow of the injector body and / or the actuator housing is omitted, that is, that the value of the representative for the idle stroke of Stellan ¬ electrical variable in the predetermined value range changes as little as possible.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird der Stell- antrieb vorvermessen, indem eine Abhängigkeit eines Hubs des Stellantriebs von einem charakteristischen elektrischen Signal des Stellantriebs ermittelt wird. Abhängig von dem Hub des Stellantriebs wird der Wertebereich der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe ermit- telt. Das charakteristische elektrische Signal des Stellan¬ triebs ist beispielsweise repräsentativ für die Arbeitskennlinie des Stellantriebs. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass abhängig von dem Ansteuersignal des Stellantriebs unterschiedliche Hubverhalten von Stellantrieben beim Einstellen des Leerhubs kompensiert werden können. In a further advantageous embodiment, the actuator is premeasured by a dependence of a stroke of the actuator is determined by a characteristic electrical signal of the actuator. Depending on the stroke of the actuator, the value range of the electrical variable representative of the idle stroke of the actuator is determined. The characteristic electrical signal of the Stellan ¬ drive, for example, representative of the operating characteristic of the actuator. This has the advantage that depending on the drive signal of the actuator different stroke behavior of actuators when setting the idle stroke can be compensated.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung wird zusammen mit der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung eine radiale Stützkraft mit einem vor- gegebenen Wert auf den In ektorkörper und/oder das Stell¬ gliedgehäuse aufgebracht, ein erster Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe wird er¬ mittelt, der Injektorkörper und/oder das Stellgliedgehäuse wird von der axialen Spannkraft und von der radialen Stütz¬ kraft entlastet, ein zweiter Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe wird ermittelt, abhängig von dem ersten Wert und dem zweiten Wert wird der Wertebereich der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs reprä- sentativen elektrischen Größe ermittelt, die axiale Spann¬ kraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung und die radiale Stützkraft werden auf den Injektorkörper und/oder das Stellgliedgehäuse aufgebracht, und die axiale Spannkraft des Spannelements auf den Injektorkörper und das Stellgliedgehäuse wird solange variiert, bis der Wert der für den Leerhub des Stellantriebs repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Wertebereich liegt. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass individuelle Verformungen des Injektorkörpers und/oder des Stellgliedgehäuses aufgrund von axial und/oder radial auf das Einspritzventil einwirkenden Kräften beim Ein¬ stellen des Leerhubs kompensiert werden können. In a further advantageous embodiment, together with the axial clamping force of the separate from the injector clamping device, a radial support force with a given value on the in ektorkörper and / or the actuating ¬ membered housing is applied, a first value of the data representative of the idle stroke of the actuator electrical quantity being averages ¬, the injector body and / or the actuator housing is of the axial clamping force and the radial support ¬ force is relieved, a second value of the representative of the idle stroke of the actuator electric variable is determined, depending on the first value and the second value of the value range of representative for the idle stroke of the actuator electrical quantity is determined, the axial clamping ¬ force of the injector separate clamping device and the radial support force are applied to the injector body and / or the actuator housing, and the axial clamping force of the clamping element on the injector body and the actuator housing is varied until the value of the representative of the idle stroke of the actuator electrical variable i n is the predetermined value range. This has the advantage that individual deformations of the injector body and / or the actuator housing due to axially and / or radially acting on the injector forces when Ein ¬ make the idle stroke can be compensated.

The actuator 22 is designed as a stroke actuator and is preferably a
Piezoaktuator, der einen Stapel piezoelektrischer Elemente umfasst. Der Piezoaktuator ändert seine axiale Ausdehnung abhängig von einem angelegten Spannungssignal. Der Stellantrieb 22 kann jedoch auch als ein anderer dem Fachmann für diesen Zweck als geeignet bekannter Stellantrieb ausgebildet sein, insbesondere als Solenoid. Piezoactuator comprising a stack of piezoelectric elements. The piezoactuator changes its axial extent depending on an applied voltage signal. However, the actuator 22 may also be designed as another known to those skilled in the art for this purpose actuator, in particular as a solenoid.
Der Stellantrieb 22 wirkt über einen kolbenförmigen The actuator 22 acts via a piston-shaped
Übertrager 24 auf ein Stellglied 26 ein. Das Stellglied 26 umfasst einen glockenförmigen Körper 28, eine Hebeleinrichtung 30 und eine Düsennadel 32. Der glockenförmige Körper 28, die Hebeleinrichtung 30 und die Düsennadel 32 sind in der Ausnehmung 17 des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 angeordnet. Der glo- ckenförmige Körper 28 ist mit der Hebeleinrichtung 30 gekoppelt. Die Düsennadel 32 weist einen Düsennadelkopf 34 auf. Die Hebeleinrichtung 30 wirkt mit dem Düsennadelkopf 34 zur axialen Bewegung der Düsennadel 32 zusammen. Das Stellglied 26 umfasst weiter einen Stift 35. Der glocken¬ förmige Körper 28 ist über den Stift 35 mit dem Übertrager 24 des Stellantriebs 22 gekoppelt. Die Düsennadel 32 ist in einem Bereich der Ausnehmung 17 des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 geführt.

Die Düsenfeder 36 ist zwischen einem Auflager 42 des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 und einem Absatz 44 der Düsennadel 32 angeordnet, und so vorge¬ spannt, dass sie auf die Düsennadel 32 eine in Schließrich¬ tung wirkende Kraft ausübt. Transmitter 24 on an actuator 26 a. The actuator 26 comprises a bell-shaped body 28, a lever device 30 and a nozzle needle 32. The bell-shaped body 28, the lever device 30 and the nozzle needle 32 are arranged in the recess 17 of the actuator housing 16. The gudgeon-shaped body 28 is coupled to the lever device 30. The nozzle needle 32 has a nozzle needle head 34. The lever device 30 cooperates with the nozzle needle head 34 for the axial movement of the nozzle needle 32. The actuator 26 further includes a pin 35. The bell ¬-shaped body 28 is coupled via the pin 35 with the transmitter 24 of the actuator 22nd The nozzle needle 32 is guided in a region of the recess 17 of the actuator housing 16. It is biased by means of a Düsenfe ¬ 36 so that it prevents fluid flow through at least ¬ least one arranged in a nozzle tip 38 of the actuator housing 16 injection port 40 when no further forces act on the nozzle needle 16. The nozzle spring 36 is arranged between a bearing 42 of the actuator housing 16 and a shoulder 44 of the nozzle needle 32, and so pre-tensioned ¬ that it exerts on the nozzle needle 32 a force acting in the closing Rich ¬ processing power.
Das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 hat einen in axialer Richtung erhabenen Kontaktabschnitt 46. Der Kontaktabschnitt 46 ist insbe¬ sondere an einem dem Injektorkörper 14 zugewandten Ende des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 zwischen dem Injektorkörper 14 und dem Stellgliedgehäuse 16 angeordnet. Bei einem Aufbringen einer geeigneten axialen Spannkraft auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 verformt der Kontaktabschnitt 46 ei¬ ne Kontaktstelle am Injektorkörper 14 plastisch. Alternativ kann durch eine entsprechende Werkstoffwahl auch der Kontakt- abschnitt 46 verformt werden. In weiteren Aus führungs formen kann der Kontaktabschnitt 46 auch an dem Injektorkörper 14 angeordnet sein. Vorzugsweise ist der Kontaktabschnitt 46 ringförmig ausgebildet, so dass eine Verformung des Kontaktabschnitts 46 über den Umfang des In ektorkörpers 14 bezie- hungsweise des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 möglich ist (Figur 2) . The actuator housing 16 has a raised contact portion 46 in the axial direction.

Der Injektorbaugruppe 10 ist eine Steuereinheit 48 zugeord¬ net, die Sensoren aufweist, die verschiedene Messgrößen er¬ fassen und die jeweils den Wert der Messgrößen ermitteln kön- nen. Die Steuereinheit 48 ermittelt in Abhängigkeit von mindestens einer der Messgrößen Stellgrößen, die dann in ein oder mehrere Stellsignale zum Steuern von Stellgliedern mittels entsprechender Stellantriebe umgesetzt werden können.

The injector assembly 10 is a control unit 48 zugeord ¬ net, which has sensors that he ¬ various measured variables and each of which can determine the value of the measured variables NEN. The control unit 48 determines, as a function of at least one of the measured variables, manipulated variables which can then be converted into one or more actuating signals for controlling actuators by means of corresponding actuators. The control unit 48 may be ¬ be characterized as a device for adjusting the idle stroke of the actuator 22 of the injector.
Im Folgenden wird die Funktion des Einspritzventils darge- stellt: The following shows the function of the injection valve:
Durch Aktivieren des als Piezoaktuator ausgebildeten Stellantriebs 22 dehnt sich dieser aus. Nach Überwinden eines By activating the actuator 22 designed as a piezoactuator, it expands. After overcoming one
Leerhubs D trifft der Übertrager 24 auf den Stift 35 auf, und die Düsennadel 32 wird mittels des glockenförmigen Körpers 28 und der Hebeleinrichtung 30 von dem Dichtsitz abgehoben. Damit bewegt sich die Düsennadel 32 in Richtung auf den Stellantrieb 22 zu, wodurch die mindestens eine Einspritzöffnung 40 in der Düsenkuppe 38 freigegeben wird. Ist das Einspritzventil 10 als Kraftstoffeinspritzventil ausgebildet, so kann nunmehr eine Einspritzung von Kraftstoff in einen Brennraum einer Brennkraftmaschine erfolgen. Sobald die Einspritzung beendet werden soll, wird der Stellantrieb 22 deaktiviert. Dadurch zieht sich der als Piezoaktuator ausgebildete Stellantrieb 22 zusammen, und die Düsennadel 32 wird mit Unter- Stützung der Düsenfeder 36 in axialer Richtung von dem Stellantrieb 22 wegbewegt. Damit gelangt die Düsennadel 32 in eine Schließposition und der Fluidfluss durch die mindestens eine Einspritzöffnung 40 wird unterbunden. Ein in Figur 3 schematisch dargestelltes erstes Programm zur Steuerung der Vorrichtung zum Einstellen des Leerhubs des Stellantriebs des Einspritzventils ist vorzugsweise auf einem Speichermedium der Steuereinheit 48 gespeichert. Das Programm wird vorzugsweise in einem Schritt S10 gestartet, in dem ge- gebenenfalls Variablen initialisiert werden. Dies geschieht vorzugsweise zu Beginn des Einstellens des Leerhubs des Leerhubs D applies to the transmitter 24 on the pin 35, and the nozzle needle 32 is lifted by means of the bell-shaped body 28 and the lever means 30 from the sealing seat. Thus, the nozzle needle 32 moves in the direction of the actuator 22, whereby the at least one injection port 40 is released in the nozzle tip 38. If the injection valve 10 is designed as a fuel injection valve, an injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine can now take place. As soon as the injection is to be ended, the actuator 22 is deactivated. As a result, the actuator 22 designed as a piezo actuator contracts, and the nozzle needle 32 is moved away from the actuator 22 with the support of the nozzle spring 36 in the axial direction. Thus, the nozzle needle 32 enters a closed position and the fluid flow through the at least one injection port 40 is prevented. A first program shown schematically in FIG. 3 for controlling the device for adjusting the idle stroke of the actuator of the injection valve is preferably stored on a storage medium of the control unit 48. The program is preferably started in a step S10, in which if necessary, variables are initialized. This is preferably done at the beginning of setting the idle stroke of
Stellantriebs des Einspritzventils. In einem Schritt S12 wird mittels einer von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrich- tung 50 (Figur 1) eine axiale Spannkraft mit einem vorgegebe¬ nen ersten Wert F_l auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S14 wird mit¬ tels des Spannelements 18 des Einspritzventils eine weitere axiale Spannkraft mit einem vorgegebenen Wert F_SE auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. Durch das Aufbringen der axialen Spannkräfte auf den Actuator of the injector. In a step S12, processing means of a separate from the injection valve Spannvorrich- 50 (Figure 1) is applied an axial clamping force with a pre give ¬ NEN first value F_l on the injector body 14 and the actuator housing sixteenth In a step S14 is applied a further axial clamping force with a predetermined value F_SE on the injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16 with ¬ means of the clamping element 18 of the injection valve. By applying the axial clamping forces on the
Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 wird ein Teil des Injektorkörpers 14 und/oder ein Teil des Stellgliedgehäu¬ ses 16, das in einem durch die axiale Spannkraft ausgebilde- ten Kraftflussweg in dem Injektorkörper 14 und dem Stell¬ gliedgehäuse 16 angeordnet ist, dauerhaft verformt. In der in Figur 1 gezeigten Aus führungs form des Einspritzventils wird in diesem Fall insbesondere der dem Kontaktabschnitt 46 zuge¬ wandte Teil des Injektorkörpers 14 plastisch verformt. In ei- nem Schritt S16 wird ein Basiswert VAL_EL_BAS der für denInjector 14 and the actuator housing 16 is a part of the injector body 14 and / or a part of the Stellgliedgehäu ¬ ses 16, which is arranged in a trained by the axial clamping force th flow path in the injector 14 and the actuator ¬ housing 16, permanently deformed. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1 disclosed embodiment of the injection valve, in particular of the contact portion 46 is supplied ¬ turned part of the injector body 14 is plastically deformed in this case. In a step S16, a base value VAL_EL_BAS for the
Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe ermittelt. Vorzugsweise ist die für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentative elektrische Größe repräsenta¬ tiv für eine Schließzeit des Einspritzventils. Der Basiswert VAL_EL_BAS der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe kann direkt oder indirekt er¬ mittelt werden. Ein indirektes Ermitteln kann beispielsweise mittels eines Drucksensors erfolgen, der einen Druckverlauf in der Ausnehmung 17 im Stellgliedgehäuse 16 erfasst. In ei- nem Schritt S18 wird ein von dem ermittelten Basiswert Leerhub D of the actuator 22 representative electrical size determined. Preferably, the representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 electrical quantity is representa tive ¬ for a closing time of the injector. The underlying VAL_EL_BAS the representative for the return stroke D of the actuator 22 electrical quantity can be directly or indirectly he ¬ averages. An indirect determination can take place, for example, by means of a pressure sensor which detects a pressure curve in the recess 17 in the actuator housing 16. In a step S18, one of the determined base value
VAL_EL_BAS abhängiger zweiter Wert F_2 der axialen Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 ermittelt, und die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 mit dem ermittelten zweiten Wert F_2 wird auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S20 wird der Wert F_SE der axi¬ alen Spannkraft des Spannelements 18 auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 variiert. In einem Schritt S22 wird überprüft, ob ein Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in einem vorgegebenen Wertebereich mit einem Minimalwert VAL_EL_BAS dependent second value F_2 of the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 is determined, and the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 with the determined second value F_2 is applied to the injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16th applied. In a step S20, the value of the F_SE axi ¬ alen tensioning force of the tensioning element 18 to the injector 14 and the actuator housing 16 is varied. In a step S22, it is checked whether a value VAL_EL of the electrical variable representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 is within a predetermined value range with a minimum value
VAL_EL_MIN und einem Maximalwert VAL_EL_MAX liegt. Ist die Bedingung des Schrittes S22 nicht erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in dem Schritt S20 fortgesetzt. Ist die Bedingung des Schritts S22 erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in einem VAL_EL_MIN and a maximum value VAL_EL_MAX. If the condition of the step S22 is not satisfied, the processing in the step S20 is continued. If the condition of step S22 is fulfilled, the processing is in one
Schritt S24 fortgesetzt. In dem Schritt S24 wird das Programm beendet . Step S24 continues. In step S24, the program is ended.
Durch das dargestellte Aufbringen der axialen Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 kann eine Variation der axialen Spannkraft verschiedener Spannelemente 18, beispielsweise bedingt durch unterschiedliche Chargen des Spannelements 18, kompensiert werden. Damit kann eine hohe Genauigkeit beim Einstellen des Leerhubs D erreicht werden. Due to the illustrated application of the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50, a variation of the axial clamping force of different clamping elements 18, for example due to different batches of the clamping element 18, can be compensated. Thus, a high accuracy in adjusting the idle stroke D can be achieved.
In Figur 4 ist ein zweites Programm zur Steuerung der Vorrichtung zum Einstellen des Leerhubs des Stellantriebs des Einspritzventils schematisch dargestellt. Das Programm wird vorzugsweise in einem Schritt S100 gestartet, in dem gegebe- nenfalls Variablen initialisiert werden. In einem Schritt4 shows a second program for controlling the device for adjusting the idle stroke of the actuator of the injection valve is shown schematically. The program is preferably started in a step S100 in which, if appropriate, variables are initialized. In one step
S102 wird mittels der Spannvorrichtung 50 eine axiale Spannkraft mit dem vorgegebenen ersten Wert F_l auf den S102 is by means of the clamping device 50, an axial clamping force with the predetermined first value F_l on the
In ektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S104 wird mittels des Spannelements 18 des Einspritzventils die weitere axiale Spannkraft mit dem vorge¬ gebenen Wert F_SE auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S106 wird der Basiswert VAL_EL_BAS der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe ermittelt. In einem Schritt S108 wird der von dem ermittelten Basiswert In ektorkörper 14 and the actuator housing 16 applied. In a step S104, the further axial clamping force with the pre-specified value ¬ F_SE on the injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16 is applied by the tension member 18 of the injection valve. In a step S106, the base value VAL_EL_BAS of the electrical displacement representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 is determined. In one Step S108 becomes the one of the determined base value
VAL_EL_BAS abhängige zweite Wert F_2 der axialen Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 ermittelt, und die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 mit dem zweiten Wert F_2 wird auf den In ektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S110 wird der Wert F_SE der axialen Spannkraft des Spannelements 18 auf den In ektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 variiert. In einem Schritt S112 wird überprüft, ob der Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des VAL_EL_BAS dependent second value F_2 of the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 is determined, and the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 with the second value F_2 is applied to the In ektorkörper 14 and the actuator housing 16. In a step S110, the value F_SE of the axial clamping force of the clamping element 18 is varied to the In ector body 14 and the actuator housing 16. In a step S112 it is checked whether the value VAL_EL of the idle stroke D of
Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in einem vorgegebenen Grenzbereich LIM außerhalb des vorgegebenen Wer¬ tebereichs liegt. Ist die Bedingung des Schrittes S112 nicht erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in dem Schritt S110 fortgesetzt. Ist die Bedingung des Schritts S112 erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in einem Schritt S114 fortgesetzt. In demActuator 22 representative electrical variable in a predetermined limit LIM outside the predetermined Wer ¬ tebereichs. If the condition of step S112 is not satisfied, the processing in step S110 is continued. If the condition of step S112 is satisfied, the processing is continued in step S114. By doing
Schritt S114 wird die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 mit dem ermittelten zweiten Wert F_2 weiter auf den Step S114, the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 with the determined second value F_2 on the
Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S116 wird überprüft, ob der Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elekt¬ rischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Wertebereich mit dem Minimalwert VAL_EL_MIN und dem Maximalwert VAL_EL_MAX liegt. Ist die Bedingung des Schrittes S116 nicht erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in dem Schritt S114 fortgesetzt. Ist die Bedin- gung des Schritts S116 erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in einem Schritt S118 fortgesetzt. In dem Schritt S118 werden der Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 von der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung 50 entlastet. In dem Schritt S120 wird das Programm beendet. Injector 14 and the actuator housing 16 applied. In a step S116, it is checked whether the value VAL_EL is the representative of the idle stroke of the actuator 22 D elekt ¬ step size in the predetermined range of values with the minimum value and the maximum value VAL_EL_MIN VAL_EL_MAX. If the condition of the step S116 is not satisfied, the processing in the step S114 is continued. If the condition of step S116 is satisfied, the processing is continued in step S118. In step S118, the injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16 are relieved of the axial clamping force of the tensioner 50 separate from the injector. In step S120, the program is ended.
Gelangt der Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellan¬ triebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe zunächst in den vorgegebenen Grenzbereich LIM außerhalb des vorgegebenen Wer- tebereichs (Schritt S112), und wird die axiale Spannkraft der Spannvorrichtung 50 mit dem zweiten Wert F_2 anschließend noch weiter auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedge¬ häuse 16 aufgebracht (Schritt S114), so kann der VAL_EL the value of the representative for the idle stroke of the D Stellan ¬ drive 22 electrical variable first reaches the predetermined limit range LIM outside the predetermined advertising ues Eich (step S112), and the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 with the second value F_2 is then further applied to the injector body 14 and the Stellgliedge ¬ housing 16 (step S114), then the
In ektorkörper 14 oder das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 noch fließen. Durch diesen Fließvorgang kann der Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in den vorgegebenen Wertebereich mit dem Minimalwert VAL_EL_MI und dem Maximalwert VAL_EL_MAX gelangen. Werden der Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 anschließend vollständig von der axialen Spannkraft der Spannvorrich¬ tung 50 entlastet (Schritt S118), so endet der Fließvorgang. Damit kann der Leerhub D sehr genau eingestellt werden. In Figur 5 ist ein drittes Programm zur Steuerung der Vorrichtung zum Einstellen des Leerhubs des Stellantriebs des Einspritzventils schematisch dargestellt. Das Programm wird vorzugsweise in einem Schritt S200 gestartet, in dem gegebenenfalls Variablen initialisiert werden. In einem Schritt S202 wird eine vorgegebene radiale Stützkraft mit einem Wert F_RAD zusammen mit der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung 50 auf den In ektorkörper 14 or the actuator housing 16 still flow. As a result of this flow process, the value VAL_EL of the electrical variable representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 can reach the predetermined value range with the minimum value VAL_EL_MI and the maximum value VAL_EL_MAX. Be of the injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16 is completely then released from the axial urging force of the Spannvorrich ¬ tung 50 (step S118), the flow process ends. Thus, the idle stroke D can be set very accurately. FIG. 5 schematically shows a third program for controlling the device for adjusting the idle stroke of the actuator of the injection valve. The program is preferably started in a step S200 in which variables are initialized if necessary. In a step S202, a predetermined radial supporting force having a value F_RAD together with the axial clamping force of the tensioner 50 separate from the injector is applied to the
Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S204 wird ein erster Wert VAL_EL_1 der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektri¬ schen Größe ermittelt. In einem Schritt S206 werden der Injector 14 and the actuator housing 16 applied. In a step S204 a first value is determined VAL_EL_1 the data representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 electrical ¬'s size. In a step S206, the
Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 zusammen mit der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung 50 von der radialen Stützkraft F_RAD entlas- tet. In einem Schritt S208 wird ein zweiter Wert VAL_EL_2 der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elekt¬ rischen Größe ermittelt. In einem Schritt S210 wird der vorgegebene Wertebereich der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe mit dem Minimalwert VAL_EL_MIN und dem Maximalwert VAL_EL_MAX ermittelt abhängig von dem ersten Wert VAL_EL_1 und dem zweiten Wert VAL_EL_2. In einem Schritt S212 wird die radiale Stützkraft mit dem Wert F_RAD zusammen mit der axialen Spannkraft der von dem Einspritzventil separaten Spannvorrichtung 50 auf den Injector body 14 and the actuator housing 16 together with the axial clamping force of the separate from the injector clamping device 50 of the radial support force F_RAD unloaded. In a step S208 a second value is determined VAL_EL_2 the data representative of the idle stroke of the actuator 22 D elekt ¬ step size. In a step S210, the predetermined range of values for the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 representative electrical variable with the minimum value VAL_EL_MIN and the maximum value VAL_EL_MAX determine VAL_EL_1 and the second value VAL_EL_2 depending on the first value. In a step S212, the radial supporting force having the value F_RAD together with the axial clamping force of the clamping device 50 separate from the injection valve is set to
In ektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedgehäuse 16 aufgebracht. In einem Schritt S214 wird die axiale Spannkraft des Spann¬ elements 18 auf den Injektorkörper 14 und das Stellgliedge¬ häuse 16 variiert. In einem Schritt S216 wird überprüft, ob der Wert VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe in dem vorgegebenen Werte¬ bereich mit dem Minimalwert VAL_EL_MIN und dem Maximalwert VAL_EL_MAX liegt. Ist die Bedingung des Schrittes S216 nicht erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in dem Schritt S214 fortge- setzt. Ist die Bedingung des Schritts S216 erfüllt, so wird die Bearbeitung in einem Schritt S218 fortgesetzt, in dem das Programm beendet wird. Damit können individuelle, nicht dauerhafte Verformungen des Injektorkörpers 14 und/oder des Stellgliedgehäuses 16 aufgrund von axial und/oder radial auf das Einspritzventil einwirkenden Kräften beim Einstellen des Leerhubs D kompensiert werden, und der Leerhub D kann sehr genau eingestellt werden. In ektorkörper 14 and the actuator housing 16 applied. In a step S214, the axial clamping force of the clamping ¬ elements 18 to the injector 14 and the Stellgliedge ¬ housing 16 is varied. In a step S216, it is checked whether the value VAL_EL is the representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 electrical quantity in the predetermined values ¬ area with the minimum value and the maximum value VAL_EL_MIN VAL_EL_MAX. If the condition of step S216 is not met, the processing in step S214 is continued. If the condition of the step S216 is satisfied, the processing proceeds to a step S218 in which the program is ended. Thus, individual, non-permanent deformations of the injector body 14 and / or the actuator housing 16 due to axially and / or radially acting on the injector forces when adjusting the idle stroke D can be compensated, and the idle stroke D can be set very accurately.
Des Weiteren kann der Wertebereich des Werts VAL_EL der für den Leerhub D des Stellantriebs 22 repräsentativen elektrischen Größe abhängig davon ermittelt werden, wie der Hub des Stellantriebs 22 von einem Ansteuersignal des Stellantriebs 22 abhängig ist. Eine derartige Abhängigkeit des Hubs des Stellantriebs 22 kann so beim Einstellen des Leerhubs D in einfacher Weise kompensiert werden. Furthermore, the value range of the value VAL_EL of the electrical variable representative of the idle stroke D of the actuator 22 can be determined depending on how the stroke of the actuator 22 is dependent on a drive signal of the actuator 22. Such a dependence of the stroke of the actuator 22 can be compensated in such a way when setting the idle stroke D in a simple manner.
