Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a fuel injection device with an injection valve and a fuel evaporator connected to it is already known from SAE article 390710, "Cold start Performance of an automotive engine using prevaporized gasoline".
- the fuel vaporizer consists of an electrically heated tube into which the fuel is injected from the injection valve.
- three compressed air nozzles are arranged in the connection area between the fuel evaporator and the injection valve, one of which one blows the air radially to the fuel to deflect the fuel jet, and the other two blow the air tangentially to cause the deflected fuel jet to rotate so that the fuel jet travels substantially helically through the electrically heated evaporator tube.
- a further fuel injection device with an injection valve in which an electrical heating element is arranged in the outlet duct adjoining the injection opening of the injection valve in order to cause the fuel sprayed thereon to evaporate.
- An air nozzle opens into the area of the outlet duct between the injection opening of the injection valve and the heating element, which air is used to take advantage of the pressure drop in the intake pipe and is mixed with the fuel jet from the injection valve.
- the device according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the air supply in the area of the outlet opening of the fuel evaporator causes a formation of the steam jet emerging from the heated fuel evaporator and that when the fuel evaporator is switched off, that is, the fuel evaporator is not heated, an improved atomization of the escaping fuel jet is reached.
- annular gap nozzles and nozzles with a plurality of nozzle openings arranged around the outlet opening of the fuel evaporator are particularly suitable, through which air can be blown essentially radially into a fuel jet emerging from the fuel evaporator. Due to the suction effect provided according to the invention, fuel deposits on its inner walls and its evaporator structure can be avoided, particularly in the case of a non-heated fuel evaporator.
- blow-out opening is designed in such a way that its effective cross section determines the amount of air to be mixed with the fuel jet.
- the air supply device with an idle actuator of the corresponding internal combustion engine, so that all of the idle air is mixed into the fuel jet via the air supply device.
- FIG. 1 is a partially sectioned, schematic view of a fuel injection device according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a section substantially along line II-II in Figure 1 in another embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 3 shows a schematic section through a fuel evaporator according to a further embodiment of the invention. Corresponding components are provided with the same reference numerals in the various figures of the drawing.
- FIG. 1 shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine with an injection valve 10, to which fuel under pressure can be supplied from a pressurized fuel source (not shown) via a fuel supply connection 11 and which can be connected via a connecting section 12 to an electrical or electronic engine control unit (not shown).
- a spray hole section 13 of the injection valve 10 is arranged in a cylindrical recess 14 of a housing 15.
- a fuel evaporator 16 is located at a distance from the spray hole section 13 in the spray direction S behind the spray hole section 13 in the housing 15, an inlet opening 17 of the fuel evaporator 16 being arranged opposite the spray hole (not shown in any more detail) such that an outlet space is located between the spray hole section 13 and the inlet opening 17 18 for fuel ejected from the injection valve 10 is formed in the cylindrical recess 14.
- the fuel vaporizer 16 has between its inlet opening 17 and an outlet opening 19 an evaporation region 20 with an evaporator structure 21 arranged therein, which can be heated by means of an electrical heater 22 surrounding the evaporation region 20 and / or directly (not shown).
- a heating current supply, not shown Line for the heater 22 can be connected to a corresponding power source via a connecting section 23 on the housing 15.
- the outlet opening 19 of the fuel evaporator 16 is surrounded by an air blow-out device 24 of an air supply device 25, which is preferably designed as an annular gap nozzle and to which there is an outlet opening 26 in the housing 15 for a fuel-air mixture formed in the area of the outlet opening 19 of the fuel evaporator 16.
- the outlet opening 26 has a guide surface 27 arranged circumferentially with respect to the fuel jet direction A.
- an air supply line 28 is provided in the housing 15, which can be connected to a corresponding compressed air source, not shown, via a suitable connecting piece 29 or the like.
- a suitable pump (not shown) can be used as the compressed air source, the suction side of which is connected to the ambient air and the pressure side of which is connected to the air supply line 28.
- the air supply line 28 is preferably connected to the intake pipe of the internal combustion engine, in which the fuel injection device according to the invention is used, in such a way that the air to be mixed with the fuel in the region of the outlet opening 19 of the fuel vaporizer 16 is supplied using the pressure gradient in the intake pipe.
- the air supply line 28 it is in particular possible to connect the air supply line 28 to the outlet side of an idle control device the, so that in idle mode, all of the idle air is mixed with the fuel emerging from the fuel evaporator 16.
- the annular gap nozzle 24 is to be designed such that it does not determine the amount of air to be mixed in, since the metering of the idle air for regulating the idle operation of the internal combustion engine is carried out by the idle actuator.
- the air blow-out device 24 ' can also be provided with a plurality of nozzles 30 arranged in a star shape in relation to the fuel jet direction A, which are expediently arranged evenly distributed in the circumferential direction.
- the individual nozzles 30 are connected to the air supply line 28 via an annular channel 31.
- other suitable designs for. E. Sections arranged in sectors possible.
- the fuel injection device Immediately after an internal combustion engine is started, the fuel injection device according to the invention is operated in such a way that the fuel evaporator is electrically heated so that its evaporator structure 21 heats up.
- the fuel injected into the evaporation region 20 by the injection valve 10 and which comes into contact with the evaporator structure 21 is thus evaporated, so that a corresponding fuel vapor jet emerges from the fuel evaporator 16.
- This fuel vapor jet is shaped by the air blown out of the air blow-out device, that is to say from the annular gap nozzle 24 or the individual nozzles 30, and mixed with it.
- the mixture formation for the internal combustion engine can be improved.
- a second air supply line 32 is provided in an embodiment of the invention shown in FIG Connection piece 33 is also connectable to an air source.
- the air supply line 32 opens into the outlet space 18, which opens between the spray hole section 13 of the injection valve 10 and the inlet opening 17 of the fuel vaporizer 16.
- the air fed into the outlet space 18 through the second air supply line 32 is conducted through the evaporation region 20 of the fuel evaporator 16 together with the fuel sprayed out of the injection valve 10.
- the heater 22 of the fuel vaporizer 16 is switched off, this air causes fuel droplets which may be deposited on the vaporizer structure 21 to be carried along again, so that the fuel vaporizer is flushed by this additional air.
