Definitions
- the invention relates to an injection device for diesel engines, in particular a pump nozzle, with a backing pump that delivers fuel into a suction chamber of an injection pump unit, a first working chamber belonging to the injection pump unit, which is delimited by a pump piston bushing and a pump piston guided therein and which is connected to the suction chamber at least one control bore in the pump piston liner can be connected, at least one additional piston guided in a cylinder which is separate from the pump piston liner and driven to reciprocating motion and a second working space delimited by the cylinder and additional pistons, the delivery end of the pump piston being controlled by controlling the fuel by the control hole or control holes in the suction chamber is determined.
- a pump nozzle is to be understood as an injection device in which the injection pump is combined with the nozzle to form a structural unit that is assigned to a motor cylinder.
- the relatively small dimensioning of the control openings results in a high pressure loss, which leads to incomplete filling of the working space of the injection pump piston and also to cavitation. This applies in particular to the period in which the control opening is not completely released during the preliminary stroke of the injection pump piston.
- cavitations are favored by pressure fluctuations in the injection pump and pump nozzles, which are arranged in the cylinder head of the engine, also by the high fuel temperature and also by high speeds.
- the object of the invention is to improve the filling of the working space of the injection pump piston and to reduce the pressure peaks in the suction space when the fuel under high pressure is shut off at the end of delivery.
- the invention consists essentially in the fact that the additional piston is a displacement piston, the working space of which is in permanently open connection with the suction space, the displacement piston being driven in such a way that it reduces its working space (second working space) before the injection pump piston begins to deliver and enlarged at least at the end of delivery of the injection pump piston.
- the displacer piston increases the fuel pressure in the suction chamber at the start of delivery above the backing pump pressure and thus improves the filling of the working area of the injection pump piston despite the throttling in the control bore or in the control bores, and it becomes at the end of delivery of the injection pump piston when the high-pressure fuel in the Suction space through which.
- Suction stroke of the displacement piston in the immediate area of the control bore increases the receiving volume of the suction chamber and thus reduces the pressure of the fuel, so that the pressure increase or pressure peak in the suction chamber caused by the deactivated fuel is reduced.
- the displacement piston is hydraulically connected in parallel with the injection pump piston.
- a fuel injection pump has become known, in which the injection pump piston with a second delivery piston, which is guided in a sleeve, consists of one piece. Bores in the bushing, which are controlled by control edges of this second delivery piston, have a working space of this second delivery piston Fuel feed and connectable to the suction chamber of the injection pump.
- This second delivery piston delivers fuel into the suction chamber mainly after the start of delivery of the injection pump piston and increases the fuel pressure in the suction chamber during delivery of the injection pump piston in order to reduce the pressure difference when the fuel is shut off at the end of delivery in the suction chamber. It is not the pressure peak that is reduced here by reducing the pressure in the suction chamber during the control of the fuel, but only the pressure difference is reduced by increasing the pressure in the suction chamber before the control.
- an injection pump has become known with an additional piston which is guided in a cylinder which is separate from the pump piston liner and is driven to move back and forth.
- This additional piston is a rotatable control piston, the working chamber of which is in open communication with the fuel line between the working chamber of the injection pump piston and the nozzle and which determines the end of delivery by opening a return line with an oblique control edge.
- the start of delivery is determined by an inclined upper control edge of the injection pump piston, so that the start and end of injection can be regulated independently of one another.
- GB-A 507 940 also discloses an injection pump with an additional piston which is guided in a cylinder which is separate from the pump piston liner and is driven to move back and forth.
- the additional piston is a separate and separately driven pre-injection piston from the main injection piston, which delivers the pre-injection quantity to the nozzle via the working space of the main injection piston in order to save an additional pressure valve.
- the working space of the additional piston connected to the suction space and therefore the pressure in the suction space cannot be influenced.
- a check valve opening in the direction of the suction chamber is switched into the fuel supply line to the suction chamber, and according to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, an overpressure valve opening in the direction of the suction chamber is switched on in the fuel line.
- the connecting line expediently opens according to the invention from the working area of the displacement piston to the suction area between the fuel filter and the control bore.
- the fuel filter offers a certain resistance to the spreading of the pressure difference generated by the displacement piston for supplying and removing fuel.
- the arrangement of the mouth between the filter and the control bore therefore has the advantage that the pressure differences generated by the displacement piston are concentrated to a greater extent directly in the area of the control bore.
- the arrangement is preferably such that the displacement piston approximately reaches its top dead center at the start of delivery of the injection pump piston. In this way, the maximum pressure in the suction chamber occurs when the injection pump piston begins to deliver.
- the arrangement is preferably made according to the invention so that the displacement piston has already passed its bottom dead center at the end of delivery of the injection pump piston. The pressure relief in the suction chamber then occurs when it is required to weaken the pressure peak occurring in the suction chamber at the end of the delivery due to the fuel which is controlled under high pressure.
- “top dead center” is to be understood as the dead center of the displacement chamber facing the working space of the displacement piston and "bottom dead center” is the same as the dead center away from the working space of the displacement piston.
- the displacement piston is expediently sealed in its guide, for example in an inserted bush, by an O-ring. This ensures that fuel cannot get into the lubricating oil circuit.
- the displacement piston can be guided in a sleeve inserted into the engine cylinder head.
- the displacement piston is preferably in the Pump nozzle housing arranged. This has the advantage of simple installation and removal and simple guidance of the connection between the working space of the displacement piston and the suction space. Another advantage is that the pump nozzle according to the invention with the displacement piston can be used in the cylinder head instead of a known pump nozzle without redesigning the cylinder head.
- the displacement piston is preferably arranged parallel to the axis of the injection pump piston liner and driven by a cam which is arranged on the same camshaft on which the cam actuating the injection pump piston is arranged.
- the cams for driving the injection pump piston and for driving the displacement piston are expediently arranged on the engine camshaft.
- the injection pump piston and the displacement piston can also be advantageously driven via a common rocker arm, the point of engagement of the rocker arm on the displacement piston being on a smaller radius of the rocker arm than the point of attack of the rocker arm on the injection pump piston.
- the requirement is taken into account that the stroke of the displacement piston is smaller than the stroke of the injection pump piston.
- Displacement pistons and injection pump pistons now perform their stroke in the same direction, whereby the conditions are taken into account that the displacement piston reduces its working space before the injection piston begins to deliver, while the injection pump piston also reduces its working space during its forward stroke, and that the displacement piston after the end of the injection pump piston delivery increases when the injection pump piston begins to enlarge its working space.
- the plunger for the Drive of the displacement piston in the bearing block of the axis of the rocker arm must be guided.
