Definitions

  • the invention is based on a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 8.
  • a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1 or claim 8.
  • U known fuel injection valve is a valve body having an axially displaceable valve member clamped by means of a clamping nut against a valve holder, the clamping nut having a through-opening in the area of the injection opening formed by the outlet opening of a guide bore guiding the valve member in the end face of the valve body on the combustion chamber side.
  • the known fuel injection valve In order to avoid excessive heating of the end face (bottom) of the valve body on the combustion chamber side and consequently jamming of the valve member or coking of the injection opening, the known fuel injection valve has a heat shield that is clamped between the end face of the valve body on the combustion chamber side and the clamping nut in order to reduce the face area of the valve body which is directly flown by the hot combustion gases and to prevent these gases from flowing into the interior of the clamping nut.
  • the known fuel injection valve has the disadvantage that the space formed between the combustion-chamber end face of the valve body and the combustion-chamber end face of the clamping nut in the area of its through opening is made relatively large. However, this large dead space in the area of the injection openings has a negative influence on the mixture preparation and combustion processes in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to be supplied, which lead to deteriorated emission values of the entire internal combustion engine.
  • the fuel injection valve according to the invention with the features of claims 1 and 8 has the advantage that the processes in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine are influenced by a considerable reduction in the dead volume in the area of the passage opening associated with the injection opening in such a way that their emission values improve.
  • a further minimization of the end face of the valve body against which the hot combustion gases flow is advantageously achieved, so that the valve body as a whole is no longer heated as much, which increases the reliability and the service life of the entire fuel injection valve.
  • This reduction in the dead volume within the through opening of the clamping nut is achieved in the manner according to the invention by the conical shaping of the transition between the end face and the stem of the valve body and the conical seat surface on the clamping nut, the angle of inclination of the conical sealing surface on the valve body being smaller than the angle of inclination the seat of the clamping nut.
  • the sealing contact edge between the sealing surface and the seat surface is always as close as possible to the through opening of the clamping nut, so that the space formed by it can be kept as small as possible.
  • the sealing edge can be formed by the valve body and / or the seat surface of the clamping nut.
  • a further minimization of the dead volume is achieved by protruding the sealing surface of the valve body into the area of the through opening of the clamping nut, wherein the conical sealing surface can also be subdivided into a further conical surface with a different slope.
  • the advantageous provision of a constriction between the stem of the valve body and the opposite wall of the clamping nut, in particular in the transition area between the conical sealing surface and the stem of the valve body makes gas exchange in the stem region difficult at an early stage, so that the hot combustion gases do not spread over the entire stem region of the valve body can spread.
  • a heat protection washer it is designed in the form of a plate spring and opens with its central recess at the edge of the through opening, so that the volume remaining there remains as small as possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment in a detail from the fuel injection valve, in which the diameter of the flat end face of the valve body is larger than the diameter of the through opening of the clamping nut
  • FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment, in which the diameter of the flat end face of the valve body 3 is a third exemplary embodiment in which the conical sealing surface of the valve body projects into the through bore of the clamping nut
  • FIG. 4 is a fourth exemplary embodiment, analogous to FIG. 3, in which the conical sealing surface on the valve member is divided into two areas with different angles of inclination
  • FIG. 5 shows a fifth exemplary embodiment in which a plate-spring-shaped heat protection washer is clamped between the sealing surface of the valve body and the clamping nut.
  • the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is designed as a so-called throttle pin nozzle (alternatively, perforated nozzles are also possible), in which an axially displaceable, inwardly opening valve member in a guide bore, not shown, is provided with a throttle pin 25, which is in the closed state of the fuel injection valve protrudes from the outlet opening (fuel discharge point) of the guide bore, which forms an injection cross section, on an end face 27 of the valve body 1 on the combustion chamber side and which narrows the injection cross section in a known manner to a narrow annular gap during the advance stroke movement of the valve member in the opening direction.
  • a throttle pin nozzle alternatively, perforated nozzles are also possible
  • the end face 27 of the valve body 1 on the combustion chamber side must be cooled particularly well in order to keep coking of the injection cross section as low as possible.
  • the transition between the shaft of the valve body 1 surrounded by the sleeve-shaped extension 17 of the clamping nut 5 and its planar end surface on the combustion chamber side is conical, this conical transition region forming a sealing surface 29 on the valve body 1, which with the end surface 27 of the one Interacts valve body 1 engaging conical seat flange 31 arranged inwardly facing annular flange 30 of the clamping nut 5.
  • the seat surface 31 of the clamping nut 5 extends radially inward up to a central through opening 33 in the ring flange 30, which covers a region of the planar end face 27 of the valve body 1 surrounding the throttle pin 25 of the valve member, in order in this way to inject the fuel into the valve body 1 facing end face 35 of the ring flange 30 of the clamping nut 5 to allow subsequent combustion chamber.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ of the conical sealing surface 29 of the valve body 1 to its axis is smaller than the angle of inclination ⁇ of the seat surface 31 of the clamping nut 5 to the axis of the Valve body 1, so that a sealing edge 37 formed between the sealing surface 29 and the seating surface 31 is arranged as close as possible to the through opening 33.
  • the angle of inclination ⁇ to be preferably approximately 45 ° to 60 ° to the valve body axis and the angle of inclination ⁇ should be approximately 2.5 ° to 5 ° relative to the valve body axis, greater than ⁇ .
  • a diameter D of the flat end face 27 of the valve body 1 delimited by the sealing surface 29 in the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 is larger than a diameter d of the through opening 33 of the clamping nut 5.
  • the second exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 2 differs from the first exemplary embodiment only in the dimensioning of the diameters D and d, which are of the same size there, so that the volume of the through opening 33 within the clamping nut 5 is reduced in comparison with FIG. 1, as a result of which can also reduce the free flat end face 27 of the valve body 1 against which the hot combustion gases flow.
  • the gap dimension s remaining between the flat end face 27 of the valve body 1 and the combustion chamber end face 35 of the clamping nut 5 in the area of the passage opening 33 should preferably be about 0.5 mm to 0.9 mm in size.
  • the diameter D of the planar end surface 27 of the valve body 1 on the combustion chamber side is made smaller than the diameter d of the through opening 33 of the clamping nut 5, so that the sealing surface 29 of the valve body 1 projects into the through opening 33.
  • the dead volume within the through opening 33 can be reduced once again, and it is also achieved without great demands on the machining accuracy of the seat surface 31 and the sealing surface 29 that the sealing edge 37, which is formed here by the end of the seat surface 31, as far as possible is arranged radially inside.
  • FIG. 4 differs from the third only in the configuration of the sealing surface 29 of the valve body 1 and the seat surface 31 of the clamping nut 5, which now have two conical regions with different angles of inclination, so that the degree of protrusion of the sealing surface 29 in the through opening 33 can be better adapted to the respective requirements.
  • a narrow gap 39 is provided in FIG. 4 between the cylindrical circumferential surface of the valve body 1 and the inner wall of the clamping nut 5, which preferably adjoins the sealing surface 29 and thus gas exchange of the hot combustion gases flowing in via the sealing edge 37 and those in the stem area of the valve body 1 located gas quantity difficult, so that the valve body 1 is heated less in the stem area.
  • a heat shield 41 is clamped between the sealing surface 29 of the valve body 1 and the seat surface 31 of the clamping nut 5.
  • This heat shield 41 is designed for the earliest possible sealing of the space of the through opening 33 in the form of a plate spring and is preloaded in the installed state in such a way that its end faces lie almost completely against the sealing face 29 and the seat face 31.
  • the heat shield 41 has a central bore 43, which is preferably designed so that its wall is flush with the wall of the through opening 33.
