Abstract
Abstract For the electronic control system of a Diesel injection system a smoke pulse limitation device is proposed, so that even during dynamic operational conditions the exhaust gas clouding does not exceed unwanted high values and without requiring sensors for the direct or indirect determination of the amount of air aspirated per cylinder stroke. For this purpose there are proposed a delay element for a signal giving the desired amount of fuel as well as a real differentiator in a rpm signal processing branch. Finally, by way of a performance characteristic data storage for the smoke pulse limiter, maximally permissible fuel amount values are determined.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
180 words
An electronic control system for a Diesel injection system of an internal combustion engine having a performance characteristic data storage means from which can be read a desired signal for fuel amount value at least rpm- and gas pedal position-dependent, at least one minimal value selection stage connected at least to the output of said data storage for the purpose of limiting the amount of fuel, the output signal of said selection stage influencing a nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injected, and further including means responsive to smoke performance for limiting smoke generation, comprising at least one delay element comprising at least one of a first and a higher order of a circuit transfer function for processing fuel volume and being acted upon by the output signal of said at least one minimal value selection stage, and an additional performance characteristic data storage means connected at least to the output signal of said at least one delay element, whereby the output signal of said additional storage means influences said nominal amount of fuel to be injected.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
180 words
An electronic control system for a Diesel injection system of an internal combustion engine having a performance characteristic data storage means from which can be read a desired signal for fuel amount value at least rpm- and gas pedal position-dependent, at least one minimal value selection stage connected at least to the output of said data storage for the purpose of limiting the amount of fuel, the output signal of said selection stage influencing a nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injected, and further including means responsive to smoke performance for limiting smoke generation, comprising at least one delay element comprising at least one of a first and a higher order of a circuit transfer function for processing fuel volume and being acted upon by the output signal of said at least one minimal value selection stage, and an additional performance characteristic data storage means connected at least to the output signal of said at least one delay element, whereby the output signal of said additional storage means influences said nominal amount of fuel to be injected.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
An electronic control system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said means for limiting the smoke generation comprises a real differentiator for processing the rpm signal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
An electronic control system in accordance with claim 2, wherein said additional performance characteristic data storage means comprises at least an input from an rpm signal.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
143 words
A method for controlling a Diesel injection system of an internal combustion engine having a performance characteristic data storage means from which can be read a desired signal for fuel amount value at least rpm- and gas pedal position dependent for the purpose of limiting the amount of fuel, comprising the steps of, selecting a minimum value from said data storage means for affecting a nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injection, delaying by at least one of a first and a higher order of a circuit transfer function the output of said selection step for influencing the amount of fuel and thereby limit smoke generation, storing additional performance characteristic data in response to the output of said delaying step, and influencing said nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injected by the output of said storing step.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
143 words
A method for controlling a Diesel injection system of an internal combustion engine having a performance characteristic data storage means from which can be read a desired signal for fuel amount value at least rpm- and gas pedal position dependent for the purpose of limiting the amount of fuel, comprising the steps of, selecting a minimum value from said data storage means for affecting a nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injection, delaying by at least one of a first and a higher order of a circuit transfer function the output of said selection step for influencing the amount of fuel and thereby limit smoke generation, storing additional performance characteristic data in response to the output of said delaying step, and influencing said nominal value of the amount of fuel to be injected by the output of said storing step.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 4, wherein the step of delaying the output of said selection step includes differentiating an rpm value.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A method according to claim 5, wherein said step of storing additional performance characteristic data is in response to said rpm value.
