Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022089866A1] The invention relates to a method for automatically identifying knocking in an internal combustion engine having a plurality of cylinders, variable inlet valve stroke and a knocking sensor. The invention further relates to a corresponding control device and to a motor vehicle equipped therewith. In the method, the internal combustion engine is operated with a closing of the inlet valve still in the induction stroke. In a predefined measurement time frame, a signal of the knocking sensor is received and evaluated with respect to a criterion for detecting knocking. A basic threshold value predefined for the identification of knocking is modified by means of a predefined variable interference factor, which depends on a relative point in time at which an inlet valve of at least one of the cylinders closes in relation to a predefined reference point. A signal based on the sensor signal is only identified as knocking if it reaches at least the modified basic threshold value.
