Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A fuel injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine having a cylinder head comprises a fuel injection device located against a step in a borein the cylinder head.
The device includes a valve member which is spring loaded to a closed position but which is opened by fuel under pressure which flows through an inlet. The device is retained against the step in the bore by a member having a head and a shank portion the latter being in screw thread enlargement in the bore. The shank portion defines a surface to engage an enlarge-ment on the fuel supply pipe and the enlargement also engages surface formed on the device adjacent the inlet. The member therefore serves to retain the pipe in sealing engagement with the inlet and also retains the device in position within the bore.

Description

~t7~1L96 This inven-tion relates to a fuel injection arrangement in an internal combustion engine, the engine preferably being of the compression ignition type.
~ uel injection nozzles for compression ignition engines operate at high pressures and therefore need to be secured very firmly in the cylinder head of an engine. In order to withstand the high pressure, the fuel supply pipes must be strong and are made of a relatively inflexible ma-terial. When instal]ing the fuel injection nozzles, great care must be taken not to impose an~ undue strain on the supply pipes which could cause leakage of fuel. To meet these criteria, known constructions make use of a separate retaining nut which bears against a step defined in the body of the nozzle and which is screw-threaded into a bore in the cylinder head of the engine. Such constructions are however relatively complicated and expensive to manufacture.
According to the present invention, there is provided a fuel injection arrangement for an internal combustion engine including a cylinder head having a bore therethrough comprising a fuel injection device located in said bore, the device including a housiny having a seating thereon and a valve member slidable within the housing and co-operating with the seating to control the flow of fuel from the device in use; a fuel pipe in ~low communication with the fuel injection device and having an enlarged end portion; and a retention member in screw threaded engagement with the cylinder head, the retention member and the housing having respective abutments thereon which engage axially opposed parts of the enlarged end portion of the fuel pipe so as to trap and de~orm the enlarged end portion therebetween to provide liquid type seals between said ~30 enlarged end portion and said retention member and housing ~ respectively, the retention member also holding the fuel :
injection device in position in said bore.
2-~(:)741'~6 Preferably, said bore i5 stepped and the fuel injection device is urged into engagemen-t with the step in the bore by the member acting through the intermediary of the enlarged end portion.
In one embodiment, the member includes a head portion and a screw-threaded shank portion which surrounds the fuel pipe with clearance, the abutment being provided on the head portion and an end of the fuel injec-tion device being accommodated within the shank portion.

In an alternative emho~i.ment, the member include~ a head por-tion and a ~crew-threaded shank portlon, and the abut~ent is provided at or adjacent an end of the shank portion remote from the head portion.

Either or both of the abutments may be ærmed ~y a chamfered surface.

The enlarged end portiou o~ the fu~l pipe may be formed by an olive aurrounding the end o~ the pipe9 or may be formed by the end o~ the pipe being flared outwa~dly.

From a comparison of Figures 1 arJd 2 it will be appreciated that the arrangement of Fiyure 2 occupies less axial space in the cylinder head than that of Figure 1.
A modification of the above described arrangement is ; illustrated in Figure 3. In the embodiments of Figures 1 and 2, sealing between an end of the housing part 15, 115, and the step 13, 113 in the bore 11, 111 is effected by means of the sealing washer 13a, 113a. ~owever, this form of arrangement can be replaced by that shown in E'iy~lre 3, in which the end of the body part (referenced 150) is radiussed and engages the seat ~referenced 151) directly. The seat itself is of spherical or substantially spherical form and its radius of curvature is greater than the radius o~ the end of the body part, so that the body part and the seat can be mutually sealingly engaged.
In a m~dified arrangement tnot shown) the olive is omitted and the end of the fuel supply pipe 26, 126 is enlarged by flaring the wall thereof outwardly.
The constructions described obviate the need to provide two separate arrangements for securing the pipe to the housing ~ and for securing the device within the bore. ~s a result ;, there is an economy of parts and the axial length of the injec-l tion devicecan be made smaller.
