Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection nozzle with a nozzle needle which is pressed by means of a nozzle needle spring against a needle seat in a nozzle needle chamber and whose end facing away from the needle seat is immersed in a nozzle needle spring chamber that can be filled with fuel and contains the nozzle needle spring, with an electromagnetic valve for controlling the injection process. which connects the pressure chamber of an injection pump with a return line in the open position.
  • a pump nozzle arrangement has become known from GB-A-2 105 406, the pressure wave, which during the control process passes through a bore from the pump chamber through channels into the nozzle needle spring chamber, is used to achieve a faster needle closure after the end of delivery.
  • a portion of the fuel that is discharged flows outward via a throttle, while the other portion increases the force of the nozzle needle spring in the closing direction of the nozzle needle.
  • the control of the start and end of delivery is effected by an electromagnetically controlled valve, which in turn controls the pressure wave at the end of delivery into the nozzle needle spring chamber in order to bring about a rapid needle closure.
  • the arrangement known from DE-C686943 is a device for achieving a pre-injection at low and medium engine speeds.
  • a piston is displaced by the fuel pressure in the pressure line and increases the preload force of the nozzle needle spring until it comes to a stop.
  • fuel is already injected through a bore at the nozzle.
  • the displacement of the piston is thus a measure of the duration of the pre-injection, the movement of the piston in the bore of the valve body being hydraulically damped.
  • the purpose of the known arrangement is a purely speed-dependent pre-injection, which is no longer effective at higher speeds, and this should be achieved without the use of further means.
  • a device of the type mentioned at the outset has become known from US Pat. No. 4,349,152, in which an electromagnetically actuated valve is switched into the fuel supply line to the nozzle.
  • the supply of the fuel under pressure to the nozzle needle or the nozzle needle chamber can be released by actuating the electromagnetic valve or can be completed.
  • control signal duration is decisive for the injection quantity and problems always arise in these known constructions when extremely small injection quantities are to be injected.
  • the invention now aims to develop a device of the type mentioned in the introduction so that even very small injection quantities can be controlled easily.
  • the invention essentially consists in the fact that a piston is provided in a working space of the fuel injection nozzle and the working space is connected to a line leading from the pressure space of the injection pump to the nozzle needle space and the one end of the piston emerging from the working space is supported against the nozzle needle spring is that the fuel pressure of this line acts on the other end of the piston, that the effective cross-section of the piston is larger than the cross-section of the nozzle needle in the opening direction, and that the piston executes its working stroke against the spring force in the entire speed and load range before the nozzle needle lifts off at the start of injection.
  • a piston is provided, the working chamber is connected at one end to the nozzle needle chamber and the other end to the pressure chamber of the pump, the end of the piston emerging from the working chamber being supported against the nozzle needle spring, before the actual injection process, i.e. . H. before lifting the nozzle needle, first a working stroke of this piston is triggered, which results in a certain delay in the injection process.
  • the working stroke of the piston leads in any case to an increase in the pretension of the nozzle needle spring and thus in the needle opening pressure. Better atomization of the fuel is thus achieved in the initial phase of the injection, which results in smoke reduction.
  • This additional piston thus brings an additional time constant between the control pulse and the start of injection, which means that very small injection quantities can be controlled.
  • This time constant is added to the control signal duration for the injection.
  • the minimum switching time of the solenoid valve is limited by the delays between the electrical impulses, the increase or decrease in force of the electromagnet and the inertia of the moving parts and is therefore not suitable for an exact dosing of the idling quantity and the partial load quantity at higher speeds.
  • the addition of this additional time constant for the movement of the piston can also ensure the function in the part-load range and in the idling range.
  • the electromagnetic valve is arranged so that it connects the nozzle needle chamber or the pump pressure chamber with the return line or the suction chamber of the pump in the open position. In this way, a relatively quick closing of the nozzle needle is also possible.
  • the effective cross-section of the piston must be larger than the cross-section of the nozzle needle acted upon in the opening direction, in order to ensure that the piston first performs a stroke against the spring force of the nozzle needle spring in the entire speed and load range before the nozzle needle lifts off.
  • the configuration according to the invention can be used both in fuel injection nozzles with a separate pump and in fuel injection nozzles with an integrated high-pressure piston pump.
  • the piston is preferably connected to the high-pressure chamber of the pump via a sealing stop surface and the nozzle needle chamber is connected in the direction of flow after the sealing stop surface to the piston working chamber.
  • the pressure stroke of the pump piston is started here after the pressure chamber of the pump has been closed by means of an electromagnetic valve, the fuel being supplied under pressure to the nozzle needle chamber only after the piston has been lifted, which in this case acts as a pressure valve.
  • This pressure valve stroke in turn leads to an increase in the spring preload of the nozzle needle spring.
  • the training can also be made so that the working space of the piston is connected via a branch line to the feed line to the nozzle needle chamber. Due to the cross-sectional conditions, the piston will also first perform its stroke in this case before the nozzle needle can lift off.
  • the nozzle needle spring chamber in which the piston is immersed can be connected to the suction chamber or the return line, so that there is always a lower pressure in the nozzle needle spring chamber relative to the pump pressure.
  • a speed-dependent pressure increase in the nozzle needle spring chamber can be achieved in that a throttle and / or a check valve opening to the nozzle needle spring chamber is connected to the nozzle needle spring chamber, by means of which this nozzle needle spring chamber is connected to the suction chamber or the return line.
  • the liquid pressure in the nozzle needle spring chamber acts on the nozzle needle, which is increased accordingly by immersing the piston.
  • This pressure in the nozzle needle spring chamber acts on the nozzle needle in the closing direction, as a result of which the opening pressure of the nozzle needle is correspondingly increased.
  • FIG. 1 shows a fuel injector designed as a pump-nozzle assembly according to the invention
  • FIG. 1 shows a partial cross section along the line 11-11 of FIG. 1
  • FIG. 3 shows a fuel injector according to the invention with a separate high pressure pump schematically in longitudinal section
  • FIG. 4 a further modified embodiment with a separate high-pressure pump.
  • a pump-nozzle assembly 1 is shown, which is driven via a rocker arm 2 by the cam 3 of a camshaft.
  • the pump piston 4 grinds over the suction bore 5, which is supplied with fuel under a pump pressure via a line 6.
  • the control slide 7 of the electromagnetic valve 8 is open, no pump pressure is built up. Rather, the fuel from the pressure chamber 9 of the fuel pump is returned to the suction chamber 11 via a bore 10 and the opened electromagnetic valve 8.
  • the electromagnetic valve 8 is closed due to a control pulse from the electronic control unit 12, a pressure builds up in the pressure chamber 9 of the injection pump.
  • a piston 13 is mounted in the nozzle body in the manner of a pressure valve, which is held in the closed position by the nozzle needle spring 14 and is immersed in the nozzle needle spring chamber 15.
  • the piston 13 is moved downward, as a result of which the nozzle needle spring 14 is further pretensioned. From this point in time, fuel under pressure can flow past the pressure valve formed by the piston 13 and reach the nozzle needle chamber via the bores 16. As soon as the pressure is sufficiently high to overcome the force of the nozzle needle spring 14, the nozzle needle lifts off and the injection process begins.
  • the nozzle needle spring chamber 15 is connected to the suction chamber of the pump via a bore 17.
  • the stroke of the piston 13 is limited by a stop 18.
  • the diameter of the piston 13 is larger than the needle seat diameter of the nozzle 19. Due to the open connection through the bore 17, the suction chamber pressure prevails in the nozzle needle spring chamber 15.
  • the start of injection is defined by the assignment of the control pulse of the electrical control unit 12 to the top dead center and by the time for the promotion of the volume which corresponds to the diameter and the stroke of the piston 13.
  • the delay between the electrical pulse and the actual start of spraying corresponds to a time constant that is indirectly proportional to the speed.
  • control slide 7 the arrangement of the control slide 7 relative to the pressure chamber of the pump or the suction chamber of the same is shown more clearly.
  • a separate high-pressure pump 21 is provided, which is separate from the injection unit 22.
  • the functional sequence for the start and end of spraying is identical to the sequence in the embodiment according to FIG. 1.
  • From a fuel tank 23 is about a pump 24, with the interposition of a filter 25, supplies fuel under pressure to the high pressure pump 21.
  • the individual controllable injection nozzles are connected to the high-pressure pump 21 via check valves 26 and lines 27.
  • a safety valve 28 is also provided, via which the high-pressure pump 21 is in turn connected to the tank or a return line.
  • the nozzle needle spring chamber 15 is connected to the return line 37 via bores 35 and a throttle 36. Due to this throttle 36, there is only a delayed displacement of fuel from the nozzle needle spring chamber 15 when the piston 13 is immersed, which results in a further speed-dependent pressure increase and thus a further * delay in the nozzle needle stroke.
  • a check valve 38 can also be provided instead of the throttle 36.
  • the injection process is ended in that the electromagnetically actuated control slide 7 reaches its open position, whereby the pressure line 27 is connected directly to the return line 37 and a corresponding pressure drop occurs in the channels 29 and 30, which results in the closing stroke of the nozzle needle.
  • the high-pressure pump 21 is designed as an in-line injection pump and can therefore be designed without control elements.
  • the assignment of the theoretical start of delivery of the respective pump elements of this pump 21 to the top dead center defines the largest injection start adjustment.
  • FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment in which, just as in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the injection nozzle is separated from the injection pump.
  • the electrical control unit with the control slide 7 and the electromagnetic valve 8 is connected to the piston sleeve 39 of the injection pump.
  • the control unit is integrated in a housing 40 and this housing 40 is fastened to the piston sleeve 39 by a sleeve 41.
  • the sleeve 41 has a thread 42 on the side facing the control unit housing, the pitch of which is opposite to the pitch of the thread 43 for the connection of the sleeve to the pump piston liner 39.
  • the piston 13 is modified such that the lifting movement is hydraulically damped.
  • the area of the piston 13 acted upon by pressure in the initial position shown is selected such that the piston stroke takes place before the injection.
