  • a fuel injector is already known from US Pat. No. 4,907,748, which has a nozzle consisting of two silicon wafers at its downstream end. Similar to the perforated disks described above, the inlet and outlet openings in the two silicon wafers are offset from one another, so that an “S-blow” occurs in the flow of a fluid flowing through, here fuel.
  • perforated disks which consist of two or three interconnected silicon wafers. An upper inlet opening in the upper plate is followed by several outlet openings in the lower plate with a clear overlap.
  • the perforated disks are provided with gas inflow channels, from which a gas strikes the fuel to be sprayed largely perpendicularly.
  • All of the above-mentioned perforated disks made of silicon have the disadvantage of possibly not having sufficient breaking strength which results from the brittleness of silicon. Especially with permanent loads. B. on an injection valve (engine vibrations) there is a risk that the silicon wafers break.
  • the assembly of the silicon wafers on metallic components, such as on injection valves, is complex because special stress-free clamping solutions have to be found and the sealing on the valve is problematic. Welding the silicon perforated disks to the injection valve is e.g. B. not possible.

  • the gas inflow pulse also influences the jet direction of the fuel in the outlet. With a high pulse, for example, the enveloping angle of a conical fuel jet decreases. This effect can be used for load-dependent control of the beam shape.
  • the driving pressure drop for the gas enclosure is high, so that the jet volume is restricted.
  • the gas-controlled beam pattern influencing can achieve combustion that is ideal for the operating load. According to differently selected opening geometries in the perforated disc, these beam pattern influences can also be applied to one

  • the atomizer disks according to the invention are swirl disks in order to achieve particularly good atomization of the fluid to be sprayed off.
  • An additional swirl can also be generated in the gas.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un disque perforé caractérisé en ce qu'un passage complet est créé pour un fluide. Ce disque perforé comprend un orifice d'entrée (40), des orifices de sortie (42) et au moins un canal (cavité) intermédiaire (41). Au moins trois plans fonctionnels (45, 46, 47) du disque perforé (23) dotés respectivement d'une structure d'orifices caractéristique (40, 41, 42, 43) sont superposés par déposition galvanique de métal (galvanique multicouche) de telle façon que le disque perforé (23) se présente d'une seule pièce. Des orifices d'amenée de gaz (43) sont pratiqués dans le plan fonctionnel inférieur (45). Un gaz introduit par ces orifices (43) en direction du fluide à injecter permet une fine pulvérisation du fluide. Les orifices de sortie (42) font partie des orifices d'amenée de gaz (43). Ce disque perforé peut être avantageusement monté dans les soupapes injectrices destinées aux moteurs à combustion interne à compression de mélange à allumage à étincelles.
