  • Patent number: 10947944
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the injection rate of an injection valve (1) using a mathematical model which is based on measurement values comprising the stroke (x) of a piston (3) that delimits a measurement chamber (2) during the injection of a test fluid (4) into the measurement chamber (2). The injection rate is corrected on the basis of an additional measurement value. According to the invention, the pressure (pa) in an adapter volume (5), via which the injection valve (1) is connected to the measurement chamber (2), is used as an additional measurement value for correcting the injection rate. The invention further relates to a device for determining the injection rate of an injection valve.

  • Patent number: 10690100
    Abstract: A device (1) for measuring the injection rate dm(t)/dt of an injection valve (2) for a fluid (4a), wherein m(t) is the injection quantity of the fluid (4a) as a function of the time (t), having a measurement volume (3) which is closed off on all sides and which is filled with a test fluid (4), having an opening (5a) in one wall (5) of the measurement volume (3) for the purposes of receiving the injection valve (2) such that the injection valve (2), in the installed position, projects with at least one injection opening (2a) into the measurement volume (3), and having a pressure sensor (6) which is arranged in the measurement volume (3), wherein correction means (8, 8a, 9a, 9b, 9c) are provided for determining the propagation time of a pressure wave (12), which originates from the injection opening (2a) and which propagates through the test fluid (4), to the pressure sensor (6) and for correcting the measured injection rate dm(t)/dt, taking said propagation time into consideration, to give a rectified injectio

  • Patent number: 10077751
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for determining the mass of fluid (2) discharged by an injector (13), the device comprising a housing (1) which is impermeable to fluid and which serves for storing fluid, said housing having an injector port (11) for the connection, in particular of an inlet (12), of the injector (13) and having a fluid port (8) for the infeed of fluid (2), wherein at least one pressure sensor (3) for pressure measurement is provided in the housing (1) in order, by way of an evaluation unit (17), to determine the mass of the fluid (2) in the housing (1) in a manner dependent on the determined pressure.
