Abstract

A method for calibrating an injection quantity of an injection system, using which fuel is to be injected into at least one combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine of a device, in which data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an idling operation of the mechanical device, and data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an overrun condition of the device, are combined.

Claims (18)

1. A method for calibrating an injection quantity of an injection system, in which fuel is injected into at least one combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine of a device, the method comprising:

obtaining data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an idling operation of the device;

obtaining data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an overrun condition of the device;

combining the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the idling operation and the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the overrun condition; and

calibrating the injection quantity of the injection system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the idling operation and the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the overrun condition are ascertained for a learning characteristics map, which includes a dependence of the injection quantity on at least one additional operating parameter of at least one of the injection system and the internal combustion engine.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein as data, values are ascertained for an activation duration, from which an injection quantity comes about for at least one partial injection of an injection process.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein as data, first learning values are ascertained in the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in idling operation.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein as data, second learning values are ascertained in the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in overrun condition.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the idling operation, is at least one of supplemented and corrected by the data of the at least one zero point quantity calibration carried out in the overrun condition.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the zero point quantity calibration in the idling operation is carried out as a quick calibration, data that are ascertained in the zero point quantity calibration in the idling operation being at least one of supplemented and corrected by data which are ascertained in the zero point quantity calibration in the overrun condition.

8. A system for calibrating an injection quantity of an injection system, in which fuel is injected into at least one combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine of a device, comprising:

a control unit configured to combine data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an idling operation of the device, and data of at least one zero point quantity calibration, which is carried out in an overrun condition of the device,

the control unit further configured to calibrate the injection quantity of the injection system.

9. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a coordination module configured to coordinate the use of the zero point quantity calibration in the idling operation and the zero point quantity calibration in the overrun condition.

10. The system of claim 8 , further comprising:

a plausibility checking module configured to check the plausibility of the data ascertained in the two zero point quantity calibrations carried out.
