Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an arrangement for checking a tank ventilation system in a motor vehicle, which collects fuel vapors and supplies an internal combustion engine, according to the preambles of patent claims 1 and 10.
- the tank ventilation system known from DE 40 12 111 Cl has a fuel tank which is connected via a line to an activated carbon canister.
- the hydrocarbons evaporating due to the heating of the fuel are stored in the activated carbon filter.
- a normally closed tank ventilation valve in the regeneration line between the activated carbon filter and the intake tract of the internal combustion engine is opened with the aid of an electronic control device, so that the negative pressure prevailing in the intake pipe sucks the fuel vapors out of the activated carbon filter and which can cause combustion in the cylinders.
- An aeration valve arranged on the activated carbon filter is then open, so that purge air can flow through the activated carbon filter.
- tank ventilation system Since there is a risk in such tank ventilation systems that parts of it leak or that the tank ventilation valve does not work properly, the tank ventilation system must be checked repeatedly for functionality.
- a compressed air source e.g. a secondary air pump, a turbocharger or a brake air compressor supplies the pressure required for this.
- the tank ventilation valve is closed, the compressed air is fed into a valve line near the tank ventilation valve, the pressure in the tank is measured, it is checked whether the pressure meets a specified pressure condition and, depending on whether the tank ventilation system is functional or not, is assessed.
- diagnostic unit consisting essentially of a lockable ventilation valve on the activated carbon filter and corresponding pressure sensors or pressure switches with associated evaluation circuits, are installed in the respective vehicle. This has the disadvantage that each individual vehicle must be equipped with its own diagnostic unit.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a method and an arrangement for checking a tank ventilation system in a motor vehicle, which makes it possible to detect leaks in the system in a relatively simple manner.
- the invention is based on the idea of not installing the diagnostic unit in every vehicle, but rather in every petrol station system. With a suitable design of the tank filler neck and fuel nozzle, it is then possible to automatically carry out a tank leak diagnosis with each refueling process. In macroeconomic terms, this is much cheaper than having a separate diagnostic system for each vehicle. In addition, frequent misdiagnoses in the previous systems, e.g. largely avoided by missing a fuel cap or similar. In addition, with such a central diagnosis at the filling station system, immediately after the refueling process, there is an easier possibility to change predetermined limit values, for example for leak size detection. The type of test (overpressure and / or underpressure) can also be easily changed.
- FIG. 1 This shows schematically a tank ventilation system in a motor vehicle with the associated connecting lines to a petrol pump of a petrol station system.
- the reference numeral 1 schematically denotes a motor vehicle that has a tank ventilation system 20.
- This tank ventilation system consists in a conventional manner of a fuel tank 2, which is connected via a ventilation line 3 to an activated carbon canister 4, in which the hydrocarbon vapors outgassing from the fuel tank 2 are adsorbed.
- a regeneration line 5 leads from the activated carbon canister 4, which leads downstream of a throttle valve (not shown) into the intake tract 6 of the internal combustion engine.
- a flow control valve, referred to below as a tank ventilation valve 7, is arranged in the regeneration line 5.
- this tank ventilation valve 7 is actuated by an electronic control unit 8 via an electrical line (not specified).
- a tank filler neck 9, as well as a ventilation line 21 branching off from the activated carbon filter 4, as well as an electrical connection line 10, are led from the control unit 8 to an outside of the vehicle 1 near the tank.
- a petrol pump 12 is also shown of a petrol station system 11, which is also only shown schematically, on which fuel can be filled in a conventional manner using a fuel supply hose 13. At the end of this hose there is a nozzle 14, which is designed such that it creates a hermetically sealed connection to the tank filler neck 9 during the refueling process.
- the dispenser 12 has a diagnostic unit 15 which contains pump elements 22 which generate the test pressure necessary for the diagnosis and a diagnostic hose 18 which is connected to the ventilation line 21 of the activated carbon filter 4 via a hermetically sealed connection.
- An electrical diagnostic line 16 leads from the diagnostic unit 15 to a connecting element in Form of a diagnostic connector 19 on the outside of the vehicle near the area of the tank filler neck 9.
- the diagnostic unit 15 is connected to the control unit 8 with the aid of a plug device 17 attached to the vehicle and the electrical connection 10 connected to it.
- the leak test of the tank ventilation system 20 can be carried out with such an arrangement during each refueling process at the gas station system.
- the fuel nozzle 14 of the fuel pump 12 is connected to the filler neck 9 of the motor vehicle 1 to be refueled.
- the vent line 21 of the activated carbon filter 4 is also hermetically coupled to the diagnostic hose 18 of the dispenser 12.
- the electrical connection of the diagnostic unit 15 to the electronic control unit 8 in the motor vehicle 1 is also established via the plug-in device 17, 19.
- a tank ventilation valve 7 is installed in the tank ventilation system 20 of the motor vehicle 1 and is closed in the de-energized state, no signal for closing the tank ventilation valve 7 needs to be transmitted by the diagnostic unit 15.
- a tank ventilation valve 7 which is open when de-energized, a signal is transmitted from the diagnostic unit 15 via the electrical connection 16, 19, 17, 10 and the control unit 8 to the tank ventilation valve 7 in order to close it before the diagnosis and during to keep the diagnosis closed.
- the diagnosis is carried out after the refueling process or when the refueling process is interrupted.
- the diagnosis itself can be carried out using either a negative pressure or a positive pressure method, as is known from the described prior art.
- the diagnostic unit 15 in the fuel dispenser 12 contains pump elements 22, which build up the test pressure and a pressure sensor or a pressure switch 23. After the fueling process has been ended or interrupted, this can be prevented, for example, by releasing the fuel nozzle 14 or by automatically switching off the fuel supply Overflow of the fuel can be detected - the pump elements 22 of the diagnostic unit 15 are activated in order to generate either an overpressure or a vacuum in the tank ventilation system 20 via the diagnostic hose 18, depending on the type of test method used. The pressure increase or decrease that occurs gradually over time is monitored by the pressure sensor 23 in the diagnostic unit 15. When a predetermined maximum pressure value is reached, the pump elements are switched off. An unwanted and thus falsifying the result of the diagnosis pressure reduction after switching off the pump elements 22 and before starting the evaluation of the pressure change can be prevented either by the construction of the pump elements themselves or by using check valves.
- the pressure sensor or the pressure switch 23 is then used to determine whether the pressure has changed within a specific, defined diagnosis time.
- the pressure change within this time is a measure of the leakage in the tank ventilation system.
- the diagnostic unit 15 does not need to contain any means which have to build up a negative or positive pressure for testing.
- connection between the petrol pump 12, diagnostic unit 15 and the motor vehicle can be established particularly easily and comfortably if both the fuel supply hose 13, the diagnostic hose 18 and the electrical connection are established with a single coupling device.
