Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit Nadelstellungsfühler für Brennkraftmaschinen nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Bei einer beispielsweise aus der EP-A-0 059 733 bekannten Einspritzdüse dieser Art ist zum Erkennen des Spritzbeginns und der Spritzdauer ein die Hubbewegung der Ventilnadel erfassender Hall-Sensor eingebaut, der vom Magnetfeld eines sich mit der Ventilnadel bewegten Magneten beeinflußt wird. Der Hall-Sensor ist am Ende einer Bundhülse angeordnet, die in den von der Schraubendruckfeder umgebenen Hohlraum gegen die Verlängerung mit dem Magneten ragt, und in der sowie in dem Durchgang des Gehäuses das Verbindungskabel verläuft. Alternativ dazu ist der Hall-Sensor im Endabschnitt des als Sackloch ausgebildeten Durchgangs im Gehäuse angeordnet und durch eine dünne Wand zwischen dem Sackloch und der die Schraubendruckfeder aufnehmenden Kammer vom Magneten getrennt.The invention is based on a fuel injection nozzle with a needle position sensor for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1. In an injection nozzle of this type, known for example from EP-A-0 059 733, a Hall movement detecting the stroke movement of the valve needle Sensor installed, which is influenced by the magnetic field of a magnet moving with the valve needle. The Hall sensor is arranged at the end of a collar sleeve which protrudes into the cavity surrounded by the helical compression spring against the extension with the magnet, and in which and in the passage of the housing the connecting cable runs. As an alternative to this, the Hall sensor is arranged in the end section of the passage formed as a blind hole in the housing and is separated from the magnet by a thin wall between the blind hole and the chamber receiving the helical compression spring.
Die erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoff-Einspritzdüse mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, daß der den Hall-Sensor beeinflussende Magnet in Bezug zur Anordnung des Hall-Sensors axial präzise geführt wird, so daß eine einwandfreie Messung der Bewegung der Ventilnadel gewährleistet ist.The fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the magnet influencing the Hall sensor in relation to the arrangement of the Hall sensor is guided axially precisely, so that a perfect measurement of the movement of the valve needle is guaranteed.

Es zeigen Figur 1 eine Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit einem Nadelstellungsfühler im Längsschnitt und Figur 2 einen Ausschnitt der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit dem Bereich des Nadelstellungsfühlers in vergrößertem Maßstab im Längsschnitt.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. 1 shows a fuel injection nozzle with a needle position sensor in longitudinal section and FIG. 2 shows a detail of the fuel injection nozzle with the area of the needle position sensor in an enlarged scale in longitudinal section.
Die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse hat einen Düsenkörper 11, der mittels einer Überwurfmutter 12 über eine Zwischenscheibe 13 an einem Düsenhalter 15 festgespannt ist. Im Düsenkörper 11 ist eine die Spritzlöcher 16 auf- und zusteuernde Ventilnadel 17 verschiebbar gelagert, die in Öffnungsrichtung vom Kraftstoffdruck und in Schließrichtung von einer Schraubendruckfeder 18 über einen Druckbolzen 19 beaufschlagt wird. Die Schraubendruckfeder 18 ist in einer als Sackbohrung ausgebildeten Federkammer 21 im Düsenhalter 15 angeordnet, an deren dem Düsenkörper 11 entgegengesetzten Ende 22 sie sich über eine Distanzscheibe 23 und ein als Führungsbuchse 24 ausgebildetes Zwischenglied abstützt. Eine Verlängerung 26 des Druckbolzens 19 durchsetzt den Hohlraum der Schraubendruckfeder 18 und ist mit ihrem Endabschnitt in einer Axialbohrung 25 der Führungsbuchse 24 gleitend verschiebbar gelagert. Ein Zulaufkanal 27 für Kraftstoff verläuft durch den Düsenhalter in den Düsenkörper 11. Ferner schließt eine Leckölbohrung 28 über eine Erweiterung 29 an das Ende 22 der Federkammer 21 an.The fuel injection nozzle has a
Zum Erfassen der Stellung beziehungsweise der Hubbewegung der Ventilnadel 17 und zum Erzeugen eines entsprechenden elektrischen Signals sind am Ende der Verlängerung 26 des Druckbolzens 19 ein Permanentmagnet 31 befestigt und in der Erweiterung 29 des Düsenhalters 15 ein Hall-Sensor 32 fest angeordnet. Eine Kappe 33 hält den Permanentmagnet 31 unverrückbar auf dem Ende der Verlängerung 26 des Druckbolzens 19 fest und führt den Endabschnitt der Verlängerung 26 und die Kappe 33 mit dem Permanentmagneten 31 axial beim Hub der Ventilnadel 17 in den Axialbohrung 25 der Führungsbuchse 24. Die Führungsbuchse 24 besteht aus einem nicht magnetischen und nicht magnetisierbaren, vorzugsweise austenitischen Werkstoff und konzentriert das beim Hub des Permanentmagneten 31 sich ändernde Magnetfeld. Der Hall-Sensor 32 liegt mit seiner Sensorseite auf der am Ende 22 der Federkammer 21 anliegenden Stirnseite 34 des Zwischenglieds 24 unverrückbar auf. Er ist mit dem einen Ende eines Leiterdrähte enthaltenden Kabels 35 verbunden, dessen anderes Ende einen nicht dargestellten Anschlußstecker trägt.
