Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Überwachung der Leckage von Abgasleitungen an Verbrennungsmotoren mit einer Lambdasonde in der Abgasstrecke. The The invention relates to a method for monitoring the leakage of Exhaust pipes on internal combustion engines with a lambda probe in the exhaust gas line.
Die Lambdasonde dient zur Messung der Sauerstoffkonzentration im Abgas und damit zur Erfassung des Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnisses. Das Ausgangssignal der Lambdasonde weist bei einem Luft-Kraftstoff-Verhältnis von 1 einen Sprung auf, so daß um diesen Wert geregelt wird. Es ergeben sich Regelschwingungen von etwa 10 Hz, der sogenannten Lambdaregelfrequenz. Dadurch läßt sich die Gemischbildung im Sinne einer optimalen Verbrennung und Reinigung des Abgases in einem Dreiwegekatalysator regeln.The Lambda probe is used to measure the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas and thus for the detection of the air-fuel ratio. The output signal the lambda probe points at an air-fuel ratio of 1 a jump, so that um this value is regulated. This results in control oscillations of about 10 Hz, the so-called lambda frequency. This can be done the mixture formation in the sense of optimal combustion and purification of the exhaust gas in a three-way catalyst.
Voraussetzung für die Wirksamkeit dieses Systems ist, daß die Abgasstrecke dicht ist, da sonst nicht das unveränderte Abgas den Dreiwegekatalysator erreicht. Undichtigkeiten machen sich insbesondere in Unterdruckphasen, die in bestimmten Betriebszuständen durch die intermittierende, zu Pulsationen führende Arbeitsweise des Verbrennungsmotors bedingt sind, bemerkbar. Infolge dieser Pulsationen kann während der Unterdruckphasen vergleichsweise hoch sauerstoffhaltige Außenluft in die Abgasstrecke eindringen. requirement for the Effectiveness of this system is that the exhaust gas line is tight, otherwise not the same Exhaust gas reaches the three-way catalyst. Leaks are made especially in vacuum phases, in certain operating conditions by the intermittent, leading to pulsation operation of the internal combustion engine are conditional, noticeable. As a result of these pulsations can during the Vacuum phases comparatively high oxygen-containing outside air penetrate into the exhaust gas line.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist der Nachweis solcher Leckagen oder Undichtigkeiten in der Abgasstrecke.task The invention is the detection of such leaks or leaks in the exhaust gas line.
Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß in dem Ausgangssignal der Lambdasonde die Amplitude von Pulsationsfrequenzen gemessen wird und daß bei Überschreiten einer Schwellenwertamplitude während Unterdruckphasen des Motorkennfeldes ein Fehlersignal erzeugt wird.These The object is achieved according to the invention in that in the output signal of Lambda probe the amplitude of pulsation frequencies is measured and that when exceeded a threshold amplitude during Vacuum phases of the engine map an error signal is generated.
"Unterdruckphasen des Motorkennfeldes" bezeichnet solche Betriebszustände des Motors, bei denen zumindest zeitweise und zumindest örtlich begrenzt der Druck im Abgassystem den Atmosphärendruck unterschreitet."Under pressure phases of the engine map " such operating conditions of the engine, where at least temporarily and at least locally limited the pressure in the exhaust system falls below the atmospheric pressure.
Die Erfindung unterscheidet sich insofern vom Stand der Technik, als die durch den intermittierenden Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors bedingten periodischen oder quasiperiodischen Pulsationen des Lambdasondensignals gemessen werden. Aufgrund einer Leckage dringt unverbrannte Atmosphärenluft in die Abgasstrecke ein und vergrößert dadurch die Amplitude der Pulsationen. Bei Überschreiten eines Schwellenwertes wird ein Fehlersignal als Diagnosesignal oder Alarmsignal erzeugt.The The invention differs from the prior art in that the conditional by the intermittent operation of the internal combustion engine periodic or quasi-periodic pulsations of the lambda probe signal become. Due to a leak, unburned atmospheric air penetrates into the exhaust line and thereby increases the amplitude the pulsations. When crossing a threshold value is an error signal as a diagnostic signal or Alarm signal generated.
Eine sichere Erfassung der Signale ist dadurch gewähr leistet, daß die Pulsationsfrequenzen aus dem Ausgangssignal der Lambdasonde ausgefiltert werden. Die Pulsationsfrequenzen werden also von der Lambdaregelfrequenz abgetrennt.A reliable detection of the signals is ensured by the fact that the pulsation frequencies be filtered out of the output of the lambda probe. The pulsation frequencies are therefore separated from the lambda frequency.
