Method and device for operating a drive unit, and test device for testing a drive unit
First Claim
1. A method for operating a drive unit of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- determining, by a driveshaft angle sensor, a driveshaft angle of a driveshaft driven by the drive unit;
representing, for at least one operating quantity of the drive unit, a deviation from an initial value by an adaptation value, wherein the adaptation value is determined at a plurality of points of time at the determined driveshaft angle;
storing, in an extreme value storage unit, a first adaptation value determined at a first point in time;
comparing a second adaptation value, determined at a point in time after the first point in time, with the first adaptation value stored in the extreme value storage unit to determine whether the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in a predetermined direction; and
if the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in the predetermined direction, overwriting the extreme value storage unit with the second adaptation value; and
implementing the second adaptation value which exceeds the first adaptation value to operate the drive unit.

Abstract
In a method for operating a drive unit, for at least one operating quantity of the drive unit, a deviation from an initial value is represented by an adaptation value, which adaptation value is determined at various times. In an extreme value storage unit, a first adaptation value, determined at a first point in time, is stored. A second adaptation value, determined at a second point in time after the first point in time, is compared with the first adaptation value stored in the extreme value storage unit to determine whether the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in a prespecified direction. In this case, the extreme value storage unit is overwritten by the second adaptation value.

8. A device for operating a drive unit of a vehicle, comprising:
-
an adaptation unit determining an adaptation value to represent a deviation from an initial value of at least one operating quantity of the drive unit, wherein the adaptation value is determined at a plurality of points of time; a driveshaft angle sensor detecting a driveshaft angle of a driveshaft driven by the drive unit; a control unit controlling the adaptation unit, the control unit receiving a signal from the driveshaft angle sensor; an extreme value storage unit, wherein a first adaptation value determined at a first point in time is stored in the extreme value storage unit; a comparator unit comparing a second adaptation value with the first adaptation value stored in the extreme value storage unit, wherein the second adaptation value is determined at a second point in time after the first point in time; a testing unit testing whether the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in a predetermined direction; and a overwrite unit overwriting the extreme value storage unit with the second adaptation value if the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in the predetermined direction;
wherein the control unit implements the second adaptation value which exceeds the first adaptation value to operate the drive unit.

9. A test device for testing a drive unit of a vehicle, comprising:
-
an adaptation unit determining an adaptation value to represent a deviation from an initial value of at least one operating quantity of the drive unit, wherein the adaptation value is determined at a plurality of points of time; a driveshaft angle sensor detecting a driveshaft angle of a driveshaft driven by the drive unit; a control unit controlling the adaptation unit, the control unit receiving a signal from the driveshaft angle sensor; an extreme value storage unit, wherein a first adaptation value determined at a first point in time is stored in the extreme value storage unit; a comparator unit comparing a second adaptation value with the first adaptation value stored in the extreme value storage unit, wherein the second adaptation value is determined at a second point in time after the first point in time; a testing unit testing whether the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in a predetermined direction; a overwrite unit overwriting the extreme value storage unit with the second adaptation value if the second adaptation value exceeds the first adaptation value in the predetermined direction; and a read-out unit reading out the adaptation value from the control unit, wherein the read-out unit reads out an extreme adaptation value from the extreme value storage unit of the device; and
an error-detection unit detecting an error of the drive unit based on the extreme adaptation value read out from the extreme value storage unit. - View Dependent Claims (10)
