Definitions

  • the invention is based on an atomizing sieve or a fuel injection valve with an atomizing sieve according to the type of patent claim 1 or of patent claim 10.
  • Fuel preparation for an internal combustion engine in which fuel is metered in with at least one injection valve, which in turn strikes a strainer arranged there in an intake pipe downstream of the injection valve or a branch nozzle of the intake pipe.
  • This device is intended to produce an easily ignitable fuel-air mixture, especially during the cold start and warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine, without having to significantly increase the fuel quantity.
  • Good pre-evaporation of the fuel occurs when the strainer is designed to be electrically heated.
  • the large distance of the sieve from the injection valve does not allow precisely targeted jet shapes, but rather the Fuel sprayed widely.
  • EP-OS 0 302 660 Also known from EP-OS 0 302 660 is a fuel injection valve, at the downstream end of which an adapter is provided, into which an adapter is provided
  • Coming fuel outlet comes, which in turn meets at the downstream end of the adapter on a flat, meshed metal disc to break up the fuel.
  • the flat metal disc is arranged so that an air flow through holes in the adapter upstream of the metal disc and downstream of the metal disc ensures that fuel drops stuck to the metal disc are torn away. A better atomization quality is only achieved when the fuel is surrounded by an air stream near the metal disc, but through which an accurate spray geometry cannot be achieved.
  • Dosing opening to perform a fuel breaker in the form of a flat thin disc having a plurality of curved narrow slots are made by etching in the disk.
  • the arcuate slots which are made by etching in the disk, ensure with their geometry, that is to say with their radial width and their arc length, that a fuel veil is formed which breaks up into small droplets.
  • the etching process for producing the slots is very cost-intensive.
  • the individual slot groups must be introduced very precisely in order to achieve the desired breakdown of the fuel.
  • the atomizing screen according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that it is very simple and easy to assemble on fuel injection valves, very inexpensive and in a variety of
  • Design variants can be produced quickly and safely and ensures excellent atomization of the sprayed fuel.
  • the atomizing sieve It is particularly advantageous to design the atomizing sieve to be curved in the form of a bowl. It is also advantageous to manufacture the atomizing sieve from a rustproof metal, a plastic, Teflon or PTC, i.e. a material with a positive resistance-temperature coefficient. Teflon is particularly suitable as a material for the atomizing sieve when the atomizing sieve is to be used under extreme temperature conditions. A Teflon atomizing sieve is hydrophobic and therefore prevents icing at temperatures down to -40 ° C.
  • a particularly advantageous embodiment of the atomizing sieve results if a mesh size of approximately 0.2 mm of the sieve is provided. It can also be advantageous for special applications to produce the meshes of the atomizing sieve in two or more layers in addition to a single-layer variant, the multiple fabric layers being interlaced with one another.
  • the mesh density can advantageously be used to adjust the area Atomization quality can be designed variably.
  • the fabric of the atomizing sieve can have a constant mesh size, but can also become denser towards the outer zone of the sieve or, conversely, can also be compressed towards the center of the atomizing sieve.
  • the atomizing sieve as a bimetal sieve, consisting of two metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion, by introducing the mesh openings, for example by means of a laser.
  • a bimetal sieve has the advantage that the geometry of the sieve, that is, for. B. the bulge shape, can be changed at different operating temperatures in a desired manner to the atomization quality and the jet shape
  • a heatable atomizing sieve for fuel vaporization is also advantageous. Temperature-dependent sieve materials ensure that the resistance is variable. So z. B. in PTC materials with a positive resistance-temperature coefficient of resistance when heated. As a result, better evaporation of the fuel can be achieved by electrical heating, in particular when the internal combustion engine is cold started.
  • Another advantage is a circumferential clamping ring that limits the atomizing sieve in the circumferential direction and in which the sieve blade is clamped, clamped or cast around.
  • This clamping ring enables a very simple assembly of the atomizing screen on a fuel injector, which can be done in one process step by clamping.
  • the fuel injector according to the invention with the Characteristic features of claim 10 has the advantage that an atomizing screen is very easy to mount on the fuel injector at very low cost, which contributes to a further improvement in the atomization quality even without gas containment, since the fuel striking the atomizing screen is particularly fine on the mesh of the atomizing screen is atomized into tiny droplets, which further reduces the exhaust gas emission of an internal combustion engine and also reduces fuel consumption.
  • the fuel is extremely slowed down by the impact on the atomizing sieve and diverted into the respective mesh. The collision causes the fuel to tear apart or dismember. An energy conversion of the kinetic energy stored in the fuel therefore takes place in the area of the atomizing sieve.
  • Vibrations and turbulence occur in the now finely shredded fuel due to the collision.
  • the prerequisite for this is at least an impulsive fuel jet, which can emerge, for example, from a nozzle opening or from a plurality of spray openings of an orifice plate.
  • the characteristic features of claim 10 result in further advantages and positive effects. So that offers atomization Sie downstream of the nozzle opening or the spray hole disk increased security against icing inside the fuel injection valve, especially the spray hole disk.
  • fuel can be sprayed off at significantly lower temperatures (even with high air humidity) than is the case with fuel injection valves without an atomizing sieve.
  • the atomizing sieve acts as an "ice trap".
  • the atomizing screen attached to the fuel injector is therefore both a
  • Atomizing improver of the fuel emerging from the fuel injection valve and also a protective element against numerous influences of a mechanical and chemical nature.
  • the atomizing sieve it is particularly advantageous to design the atomizing sieve to have a concave, dish-shaped configuration as seen in the flow direction of the fuel.
  • the concave bulge of the atomizing sieve ensures that part of the deposited fuel can converge in at least one deepest area.
  • fuel For a short time, fuel represents a comparatively static amount of liquid, which is then hit by new fuel. This configuration contributes to a particularly high atomization quality. In addition, no fuel can collect on the outer sieve rim.
  • the atomizing sieve is cast into a protective cap with an outer peripheral region.
  • the atomizing sieve is embedded in the protective cap with a backward measure, ie the downstream cap end of the protective cap delimits the fuel injector downstream, while the deepest region of the atomizing sieve lies further upstream and thus does not protrude from the fuel injector.
  • This spatial arrangement offers one adequate protection against mechanical damage.
  • the protective cap is advantageously designed as a protective crown, which results in advantages in the dripping behavior of the fuel injector compared to a protective cap with a circumferential protective ring.
  • a gas containment of the fuel which is additional to the atomizing sieve is particularly advantageous.
  • the gas supply can be arranged so that the gas is directed towards the fuel both upstream and downstream of the atomizing sieve.
  • the gas supply channels are introduced downstream of the atomizing sieve in the protective cap and are aligned in such a way that their imaginary extensions tangentially touch the bulge of the atomizing sieve downstream.
  • the treatment quality is further increased by the gas enclosure.
  • the supply channels can be introduced very easily into the protective cap and on a gas which is difficult to adjust with regard to the accuracy of the gas quantity. annular gap can be dispensed with. Desired fuel jet angles are largely retained despite the gas enclosure, since the fuel is not fully encompassed by the gas emerging from the supply channels.
  • the aim is namely to place the point of fuel atomization in the ideal position in the air flow of the intake manifold of the internal combustion engine with an atomizer attachment consisting of a spacer and the atomizing sieve when the injection valve is in a fixed installation position, so that the wall film formation of the fuel in the intake manifold is reduced or increased prevent, as a consequence of which a significant reduction in the exhaust gas emission, in particular the proportion of HC, is achieved.
  • the spacer body with the atomizing sieve which is advantageously attached to its downstream end, thus ensures a spatial separation of metering and preparation of the fuel.
  • the dimensions (diameter, length) of the best sleeve-shaped spacer can be easily changed and adapted to differently shaped suction tubes that the atomization and Processing of the fuel, for example, can always take place in the middle of the intake manifold flow, thus largely avoiding the aforementioned wall film formation in the intake manifold.
  • the injection valve In order to prevent disturbing wetting of the inner wall of the spacer body, the injection valve must spray a fuel jet with the smallest possible opening angle, that is to say a so-called pencil jet-shaped jet. It is advantageous if openings are therefore provided in the spacer near the spray opening, through which gas is introduced in order to leave the fuel jet in the form of a cord over the length of the spacer.
  • the sucked-in air surrounds the cord-shaped fuel jet, so that disadvantageous wetting of the inner wall of the spacer body is avoided.
  • the dripping of fuel with the injector switched off can be largely prevented by this measure.
  • a gas flow generated by an additional gas inlet also ensures an improved discharge behavior of the fine fuel droplets.
  • a large number of atomizer arrangements can be created by combining differently shaped atomizing sieves and spacers having different dimensions in connection with or without gas introduction, with or without gas enclosure on the atomizing sieve, with or without a beam splitter, which can be connected upstream or downstream of the atomizing sieve are each matched to the specific conditions of the intake manifold and the internal combustion engine.
  • Atomizer attachments on the injection valves are also very easy to achieve special forms of fuel spraying (e.g. elliptical spray patterns, asymmetrical quantity distribution, spraying onto several intake valves).

  • the impact of the fuel on the inner screen surface 55 has the consequence that the fuel is extremely slowed down and deflected into the respective meshes of the atomizing screen 50a.

  • an energy conversion takes place in the region of the atomizing sieve 50a in the form of a jet from the spray openings 25
  • Spray plate 21 emerging fuel stored kinetic energy instead, in which now finely torn vibrations and turbulence due to the collision occur.
  • the aim of this type of treatment is to spray particularly finely atomized fuel in the form of tiny droplets from the injection valve in order, for example, to achieve very low exhaust gas emissions from the internal combustion engine and to reduce fuel consumption.
  • Atomizing sieve 50a can meet this requirement in a particularly advantageous manner. This is because a fine droplet mist is created downstream of the atomizing sieve 50a by tearing the fuel on the atomizing sieve 50a and passing the fuel through the fine meshes of the atomizing sieve 50a. These particularly small fuel droplets forming the droplet mist now have a substantially larger surface area than the fuel jets before they hit the atomizing sieve 50a, which in turn is an indicator of good atomization. It can also be said that countless "jet spikes" consisting of the finest droplets are formed by the mesh shape downstream of the atomizing sieve 50a. This mode of operation just described also draws all of the following listed embodiments.
  • the atomizing sieve 50a is concavely shaped in the form of a shell or a cup in the direction of flow of the fuel.

  • the atomizing sieve 50a is only wetted continuously in the regions facing the bowl edge or the clamping ring 52.
  • a particularly high atomization quality is thus achieved by the processing directly on the mesh of the atomizing sieve 50a and by the fuel impinging on the amount of liquid at rest, through which the processing takes place in this central region 56.
  • a minimum distance between the spray orifice plate 21 and the atomizing sieve 50a in the direction of the longitudinal valve axis 2 is particularly important for the quality of the preparation or atomization of the fuel. If this minimum distance is undershot, it can happen that between the spray orifice plate 21 and the atomizing sieve 50a formed volume with a too large Amount of fuel is filled and atomization no longer occurs or only to a limited extent.
  • the atomizing sieve 50a is therefore arranged in such a way that it is clamped between the protective cap 40 and the valve seat carrier 1 only downstream of the valve seat carrier 1.
  • the mesh size of the atomizing sieve 50a also plays a decisive role, which decisively determines the spraying quantity per unit of time.
  • a cap end 58 of the protective cap 40 forms the downstream end of the entire injection valve.
  • Atomizing sieve 50a is not bulged out so far that it protrudes downstream from the injection valve. Consequently, the atomizing sieve 50a cannot be destroyed by external mechanical influences on the injection valve. Instead, the atomizing sieve 50a itself forms a protective shield for the spraying orifice disk 21.
  • the atomizing sieve 50a downstream of the spraying orifice disk 21 in fact considerably reduces the risk of icing, so-called plugging and lead sulfate deposits on the spraying orifice disk 21, since this keeps the suction pipe atmosphere away from the spraying orifices 25 becomes.

Abstract

Des soupapes d'injection de carburant pourvues de filtres de diffuseur (50) pour alimenter des moteurs à combustion interne en carburant ou en mélanges de carburant et de gaz se caractérisent en ce qu'elles permettent d'obtenir une diffusion de qualité particulièrement élevée et une qualité remarquable de préparation du carburant. En outre, le filtre de diffuseur (50) forme un bouclier de protection contre le gel, le bouchage et des incrustations de substances chimiques à l'intérieur de la soupape d'injection de carburant. Le filtre de diffuseur (50) en forme de coque concave bombée est monté en aval d'au moins un orifice d'injection (25), dans le sens d'écoulement du carburant. La zone circonférentielle extérieure (60) du filtre de diffuseur (50) est coulée dans le capuchon de protection (40) monté à l'extrémité de la soupape d'injection de carburant située en aval. Le capuchon de protection (40) comprend des dents de protection (62) qui s'étendent plus en aval que la zone la plus profonde (56) du filtre de diffuseur (50) afin de le protéger contre des atteintes mécaniques. Lorsque le carburant est injecté, une quantité partielle de carburant s'accumule dans cette zone plus profonde (56) et forme une quantité de liquide relativement au repos, à laquelle vient s'ajouter le nouveau carburant. Cet agencement permet une diffusion idéale du carburant en très petites gouttelettes.
