- the conduit main return 5 and secondary conduits 5a and 5b connect in parallel the return port 4b of the injection pump 4 to a calibrated valve 6 and a one-way valve 7.
- the one-way valve 7 is controlled at line 7a by the pressure in line 5b and at line 7b by the pressure prevailing in the duct 2 upstream of the calibrated valve 3.

- Ports 4a and 4b are put selectively in communication with the 4k compression chamber of the injection pump 4 via a peripheral groove 4c of the casing 4j and the orifices 4d and 4e of the piston liner 4f in function of the 4g piston movements including the edges delivery interruption 4h and 4i.

- Curve A in FIG. 5 represents the same operating phases for a pump not fitted with a device according to the invention.
- the pressure at point A 1 remains close to the pressure P 0 , ie close to a few bars.
- the pressure P 1 at point A 2 less than 50 bars, corresponding to the start of the discharge through the orifices 4d and 4e is insufficient to avoid the formation of gas bubbles at the periphery of the jets. These bubbles strike the walls of the orifices 4d and 4e and create an erosion which causes the destruction of the jacket 4f.
- the residual pressure maintained in the orifices 4d and 4e by the calibrated valve 6 considerably reduces the formation of gas bubbles and minimizes erosion.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à éliminer la cavitation dans le ou les orifices de retour du combustible en excès dans la chambre de compression d'une pompe d'injection de combustible d'un moteur à combustion interne après la fin de la phase d'injection. Cette phase du fonctionnement de la pompe d'injection appelée « décharge » provoque une brusque évacuation du combustible excédentaire à très forte pression et animé d'une très grande vitesse de circulation dans les orifices de retour où le combustible déjà présent est à basse pression. Ceci entraíne à l'interface du jet de combustible évacué et du combustible à faible pression, l'apparition de bulles dues au dégazage qui, combinées à la vitesse de circulation, provoquent des érosions par cavitation de la paroi des orifices de retour, ces érosions pouvant entraíner la destruction de la pompe d'injection. L'un des moyens pour éliminer cette cavitation est d'augmenter la pression régnant dans les orifices de retour de la pompe d'injection à l'instant de la décharge. On connaít des dispositifs tel celui décrit dans le document JP08296528 qui enseigne la mise en place d'un clapet anti-retour en amont de l'alimentation de la pompe d'injection et de deux soupapes en aval de la pompe d'injection, l'une des soupapes étant fortement tarée et autorisant un fort débit, l'autre soupape étant faiblement tarée et destinée à un faible débit. En outre, au moins l'une des soupapes comporte un orifice assurant une circulation permanente du combustible. L'inconvénient de ce dispositif est que la fuite permanente ne permet pas de maintenir une pression élevée et suffisante dans les orifices avant que ne se produise la décharge. Cette pression ne s'installe que lorsqu'apparaít le débit de décharge, ce qui est insuffisant pour éviter efficacement l'érosion des orifices.The present invention relates to a device for eliminating cavitation in the excess fuel return port (s) in the compression chamber of a fuel injection pump of an internal combustion engine after the end of the injection phase. This phase of the operation of the injection pump called "Discharge" causes sudden fuel evacuation excess at very high pressure and driven by a very high speed of circulation in return ports where the fuel already present is at low pressure. This leads to the interface of the evacuated fuel jet and fuel at low pressure, the appearance of bubbles due to degassing which, combined with the speed of circulation, cause erosion by cavitation of the wall of the return orifices, these erosions can cause destruction of the injection pump. One of the means to eliminate this cavitation is to increase the pressure prevailing in the return ports of the injection pump at the time of discharge. We know devices such as that described in the document JP08296528 which teaches the installation of a non-return valve in upstream of the supply of the injection pump and two valves in downstream of the injection pump, one of the valves being highly calibrated and allowing a high flow, the other valve being lightly calibrated and intended for low flow. In addition, at least one of the valves has an orifice ensuring permanent circulation of the combustible. The disadvantage of this device is that the permanent leak does not maintain high and sufficient pressure in the orifices before discharge occurs. This pressure does not installs only when the discharge rate appears, which is insufficient to effectively prevent hole erosion.
L'invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients en
prévoyant un dispositif destiné à éliminer la cavitation dans le ou les
orifices de retour du combustible en excès dans la chambre de
compression d'une pompe d'injection de combustible d'un moteur à
combustion interne après la fin de la phase d'injection, la dite pompe
d'injection étant raccordée, d'une part, à un conduit d'alimentation
comportant un clapet anti-retour à faible perte de charge autorisant
l'arrivée du combustible dans la chambre de compression et, d'autre
part, à un conduit de retour du combustible en excès,
caractérisé en ce que le conduit de retour comporte en parallèle et
à proximité de l'orifice de retour de la pompe d'injection un clapet taré
destiné à provoquer l'élévation de la pression dans le dit orifice de
retour de la pompe d'injection et une vanne à une voie normalement
ouverte dont la fermeture est provoquée par l'apparition d'une pression
dans l'orifice de retour, supérieure à celle qui règne dans le conduit
d'alimentation en amont dudit clapet anti-retour.The invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks by providing a device intended to eliminate cavitation in the return port (s) of excess fuel in the compression chamber of a fuel injection pump of a combustion engine. internal after the end of the injection phase, said injection pump being connected, on the one hand, to a supply duct comprising a non-return valve with low pressure drop authorizing the arrival of the fuel in the compression chamber and, on the other hand, to a return line for excess fuel,
characterized in that the return duct comprises in parallel and close to the return port of the injection pump a calibrated valve intended to cause the increase in pressure in said return port of the injection pump and a normally open one-way valve, the closure of which is caused by the appearance of a pressure in the return orifice, greater than that which prevails in the supply duct upstream of said non-return valve.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, la vanne à une voie est munie d'un ressort provoquant l'ouverture de ladite vanne dans le cas où la pression régnant en amont du clapet anti-retour est sensiblement égale à la pression régnant dans l'orifice de retour.According to another characteristic of the invention, the one-way valve is provided with a spring causing the opening of said valve in the the pressure prevailing upstream of the non-return valve is substantially equal to the pressure in the return port.
Selon encore une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le conduit de retour comporte un accumulateur en dérivation et en amont du clapet taré et de la vanne à une voie.According to yet another characteristic of the invention, the conduit return has a bypass accumulator and upstream of the valve calibrated and one-way valve.
Un autre objet de l'invention est l'utilisation du dit dispositif pour mettre en oeuvre l'injection de combustible dans un moteur à combustion interne.Another object of the invention is the use of said device for implement fuel injection into a internal combustion.
Les avantages de ce dispositif résident dans une moindre usure des composants de la pompe d'injection, autorisant ainsi la diminution de la fréquence de maintenance et minimisant la dispersion de particules métalliques dans le combustible.The advantages of this device lie in less wear components of the injection pump, thus allowing the reduction maintenance frequency and minimizing the dispersion of metallic particles in the fuel.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la figure 1 représente un schéma du dispositif selon l'invention. Les figures 2, 3 et 4 représentent le piston de la pompe d'injection à différents stades de la compression. La figure 5 représente l'évolution des pressions dans les orifices de retour au cours des phases d'injection, la courbe A représentant cette évolution pour une pompe non munie du dispositif selon l'invention et la courbe B représentant la même évolution pour une pompe munie du dispositif selon l'invention.By way of nonlimiting example, FIG. 1 represents a diagram of the device according to the invention.

The Figure 5 shows the evolution of pressures in the return ports during the injection phases, curve A representing this development for a pump not fitted with the device according to the invention and the curve B representing the same evolution for a pump fitted with the device according to the invention.
Dans la figure 1, un conduit 2 muni d'un clapet anti-retour 3 relie
une pompe de circulation de combustible 1 alimentée par un réservoir 9
à une pompe d'injection de combustible 4 partiellement représentée par
l'intermédiaire d'un orifice d'alimentation 4a. La pression de
refoulement de la pompe 1 est limitée par un clapet taré la. Le conduit
principal de retour 5 et les conduits secondaires 5a et 5b raccordent en
parallèle l'orifice de retour 4b de la pompe d'injection 4 à un clapet taré
6 et à une vanne à une voie 7. La vanne à une voie 7 est pilotée au
moyen de la ligne 7a par la pression régnant dans le conduit 5b et au
moyen de la ligne 7b par la pression régnant dans le conduit 2 en amont
du clapet taré 3. Un ressort 7c renforce l'action de pilotage due à la
pression de la ligne 7b et maintient la vanne 7 en position ouverte en
l'absence d'écart de pression important entre les deux lignes de pilotage.
Dans la position 7e, la vanne 7 met en oeuvre un diaphragme entraínant
une perte de charge destinée à maintenir un certain niveau de pression
du combustible en amont de la vanne 7. Les orifices 4a et 4b sont mis
sélectivement en communication avec la chambre de compression 4k de
la pompe d'injection 4 par l'intermédiaire d'une gorge périphérique 4c
de l'enveloppe 4j et des orifices 4d et 4e de la chemise de piston 4f en
fonction des mouvements du piston 4g comportant les arêtes
d'interruption de refoulement 4h et 4i. Un accumulateur 8 de faible
volume est installé en dérivation sur le conduit 5 immédiatement en
aval de l'orifice de retour 4b. Le clapet taré 6 et la vanne 7 sont reliés au
réservoir 9 par les conduits 5c et 5d.In FIG. 1, a

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est décrit ci-après.The operation of the device is described below.
Le piston 4g est en début de course de compression tel que
représenté sur la figure 2. Le clapet 6 est taré à une pression comprise
entre 50 et 100 bars, l'amortisseur 8 présente une pression de gonflage
légèrement inférieure au tarage du clapet 6 et, en l'absence de différence
de pression importante entre les conduits 7a et 7b, la vanne 7 est
maintenue ouverte en position 7e par le ressort 7c. Le diaphragme de la
vanne 7 en position 7e assure une pression de circulation de l'ordre de 3
bars. Le combustible fourni par la pompe 1 circule dans le conduit 2 à
travers le clapet anti-retour 3, l'orifice 4a, la chambre de compression
4k, l'orifice 4b, la vanne 7 et retourne au réservoir 9 par le conduit 5d.
Cette situation correspond sur la figure 5 au temps T0 de la courbe B.The
Le piston 4g poursuit sa course de compression et la forte
pression dans la conduite (non représentée) reliant la chambre de
compression 4k à l'injecteur (non représenté) provoque la fermeture du
clapet anti-retour 3 et le refoulement du combustible par l'orifice 4b. La
brusque augmentation de débit dans le conduit 5b et la perte de charge
dans la vanne 7 provoque une augmentation significative de pression
dans les conduits 5a et 7a, entraínant le pilotage de la vanne 7 qui passe
en position 7d. La pression continue de monter dans le conduit 5a
jusqu'à atteindre la valeur de tarage du clapet 6 qui commence à
s'ouvrir. Dans le même temps, l'amortisseur 8 se rempli et monte en
pression atténuant ainsi le coup de bélier sur le clapet 6. Cette situation
correspond sur la figure 5 à l'évolution de la courbe B au voisinage du
point B1.The
Lorsque le piston 4g atteint la position représentée sur la figure 3,
les orifices 4a et 4b sont obturés et le combustible est contenu entre le
clapet anti-retour 3 et le clapet taré 6 à une pression voisine de la
pression de tarage du clapet anti-retour 6. Cette pression règne donc
également dans la gorge circulaire 4c et dans les orifices 4d et 4e.
L'isolement de la chambre de compression 4k des orifices 4d et 4e
permet la montée en pression dans ladite chambre de compression
jusqu'à la valeur prévue pour l'injection qui peut être de l'ordre de 1000
bars. Cette situation correspond sur la figure 5 à l'évolution de la courbe
B entre les points B1 et B2.When the
Lorsque le piston 4g atteint la position représentée sur la figure 4,
les arêtes 4h et 4i ont découvert les orifices 4d et 4e, les mettant à
nouveau en communication avec la chambre de compression 4k. Le
début de cette ouverture appelé « décharge » correspond au temps T1 et
à la pression P2 sur la figure 5. Cette décharge provoque un brusque
transfert de combustible à travers les orifices 4d et 4e sous forme de jets
à très haute vitesse, entraínant une rapide montée en pression dans les
orifices 4d et 4e correspondant au pic de pression B3 sur la courbe B de
la figure 5. L'interface du jet à haute vitesse avec le combustible présent
est le siège de turbulences génératrices de bulles de gaz si la pression
régnant dans le combustible présent dans les orifices 4d et 4e, est
insuffisante, ce qui est minimisé par le niveau élevé de pression P2,
compris entre 50 et 100 bars.When the
Après avoir atteint le point mort haut, le piston effectue sa course
de retour vers le point mort bas, la pression chute dans la chambre de
compression 4k qui augmente de volume et, lorsque les orifices 4d et 4e
sont à nouveau en communication avec la chambre de compression 4k,
la pression chute également dans l'ensemble du circuit compris entre le
clapet anti-retour 3, le clapet taré 6 et la vanne 7. Lorsque la pression
dans le conduit 7a est voisine de la pression dans le conduit 7b, le
ressort 7c provoque le passage de la vanne 7 en position 7d,
l'amortisseur 8 se vide et le cycle peut recommencer.After reaching top dead center, the piston performs its stroke
back to bottom dead center, the pressure drops in the
4k compression which increases in volume and, when the 4d and 4e orifices
are again in communication with the 4k compression chamber,
the pressure also drops throughout the circuit between the
La courbe A de la figure 5 représente les mêmes phases de
fonctionnement pour une pompe non munie d'un dispositif selon
l'invention. La pression au point A1 reste voisine de la pression P0, soit
proche de quelques bars. La pression P1 au point A2, inférieure à 50
bars, correspondant au début de la décharge par les orifices 4d et 4e est
insuffisante pour éviter la formation de bulles gazeuses à la périphérie
des jets. Ces bulles heurtent les parois des orifices 4d et 4e et créent une
érosion qui entraíne la destruction de la chemise 4f. Dans le dispositif
selon l'invention, la pression résiduelle maintenue dans les orifices 4d et
4e par le clapet taré 6 réduit considérablement la formation des bulles
de gaz et minimise l'érosion.Curve A in FIG. 5 represents the same operating phases for a pump not fitted with a device according to the invention. The pressure at point A 1 remains close to the pressure P 0 , ie close to a few bars. The pressure P 1 at point A 2 , less than 50 bars, corresponding to the start of the discharge through the
