The method includes: measuring an operation of the injection valve in order to determine at least one sensor signal and an associated opening or closing time; sampling the sensor signal at a sampling rate in order to obtain a sensor signal time series with sensor signal values; determining a plurality of training data sets by assigning a plurality of evaluation point time series generated from a sensor signal time series to the opening or closing time associated with the sensor signal, wherein the evaluation point time series has a lower temporal resolution than the sensor signal time series; training the data-based evaluation model depending on the determined training data sets.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for training a data-based time determining model for determining an opening or closing time of an injection valve based on a sensor signal. The method includes: providing an unlabeled analysis point time series by sampling the sensor signal of a sensor of the injection valve; training the data-based time determining model to assign a time specification which represents a specific opening or closing duration to an analysis point time series, the training process being carried out using a first shifting function to time-shift the analysis point time series and a second shifting function in order to time-shift the time specification. A consistency loss function is used for the training process.
