Abstract

A fuel injection system with a common rail pressure accumulator (2) filled with fuel under high-pressure and a binary nozzle (3) for injecting two fluids, fuel and an additional liquid, into an internal combustion engine, has a 2/2-port valve (MV1) arranged in the injection pipe (6) between the common rail pressure accumulator (2) and a pressure chamber (3.5) that surrounds the needle (3.1) of the binary nozzle (3), as well as a pressure accumulating container (7) which contains an additional pressurised liquid for filling the additional liquid pipe (13) with a predeterminable amount of additional fluid through an intercalated valve (10). The pressure accumulating container (7) can in turn be filled by means of a pump (7) with additional fluid through a check valve and its inner pressure can be kept at a desired level by a pressure regulating valve (9). This makes it possible to replace the otherwise common, substantially more complex 3/2-port magnetic control valves by a single, more economical 2/2-port valve.

Description

Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage für eine Brennkraftmascliine Fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine
Beschreibungdescription
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine nach der Gattung des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Kraftstoffeinspritzanlagen sind beispielsweise aus der DE 43 37 048 C2 bekannt. Dabei ist einerseits eine Zweistoffdüse vorgesehen, die der geschichteten Einspritzung von Kraftstoff und einer Zusatzflüssigkeit, beispielsweise Dieselkraftstoff und Wasser dient, um den Schadstoff usstoß der Brennkraftmaschine zu vermindern und gegebenenfalls den Wirkungsgrad zu erhöhen. Andererseits ist bei der bekannten Einspritzanlage auch die sogenannte Common-Rail-Technik verwirklicht, bei der sämtliche die Brennkraftmaschine bedienenden Einspritzdüsen mit unter Hochdruck stehendem Kraftstoff aus einem Common-Rail-Druckspeicher beschickt werden.Such fuel injection systems are known for example from DE 43 37 048 C2. On the one hand, a two-component nozzle is provided which serves for the stratified injection of fuel and an additional liquid, for example diesel fuel and water, in order to reduce the pollutant emissions of the internal combustion engine and, if necessary, to increase the efficiency. On the other hand, the so-called common rail technology is also implemented in the known injection system, in which all the injection nozzles that operate the internal combustion engine are supplied with fuel under high pressure from a common rail pressure accumulator.
Bei der bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage wird für jeden einzelnen Injektor zur Mengendosierung der Zusatzflüssigkeit ein aufwendiges und relativ teures 3/2 -Wegeventil sowie für die Steuerung der Dieseleinspritzmenge ein weiteres 3/2 -Wegeventil verwendet . Zum Vorlagern der Zusatzflüssigkeit wird dabei mit dem ersten 3/2 -Wegeventil die Kraftstoffzufuhr vom Common-Rail -Druckspeicher zur Einspritzdüse unterbrochen und gleichzeitig ein die Einspritzdüse umgebender Druckraum, in dem unter Hochdruck stehender Kraftstoff gelagert ist, durch eine entsprechende Stellung des ersten 3/2 -Wegeventils zur Kraftstoff-Niederdruckseite hin abgelassen. Durch den entstehenden Druckabfall im Druckraum wird über eine entspre- chende Leitung Zusatzflüssigkeit in den Druckraum gefördert, die das entsprechende Kraftstoffvolumen verdrängt. Anschließend wird das erste 3/2 -Wegeventil wieder in eine Stellung gebracht, die eine Verbindung zwischen dem Common-Rail- Druckspeicher und dem Druckraum im Einspritzventil herstellt. Zur mengengenauen Dosierung der einzuspritzenden Kraftstoffmenge, die der vorgelagerten Zusatzflüssigkeit bei dem durch die nächste Ventilöffnung hervorgerufenen Ein- εpritzstoß folgen soll, ist das weitere 3/2 -Wege-Magnetventil vorgesehen, welches die Rückseite der Düsennadel, die von einer Feder in Schließstellung gehalten wird, wahlweise entweder mit dem Common-Rail-Druckspeicher oder mit der Kraftstoff-Niederdruckseite verbindet und dadurch zeitlich den Hub der Ventilnadel, das Öffnen und Schließen des Ventils und damit die gewünschte Einspritzmenge steuert.In the known fuel injection system, a complex and relatively expensive 3/2-way valve is used for each individual injector for metering the quantity of additional liquid, and a further 3/2-way valve is used for controlling the diesel injection quantity. To supply the additional liquid, the fuel supply from the common rail pressure accumulator to the injection nozzle is interrupted with the first 3/2 way valve and, at the same time, a pressure chamber surrounding the injection nozzle, in which fuel under high pressure is stored, by a corresponding position of the first 3 / 2 -way valve drained to the fuel low pressure side. Due to the pressure drop in the pressure chamber, a corresponding appropriate line pumped additional fluid into the pressure chamber, which displaces the corresponding fuel volume. The first 3/2-way valve is then brought back into a position which creates a connection between the common rail pressure accumulator and the pressure chamber in the injection valve. For precise metering of the quantity of fuel to be injected, which is to follow the upstream additional liquid during the injection burst caused by the next valve opening, the further 3/2-way solenoid valve is provided, which is the rear of the nozzle needle, which is held in the closed position by a spring , either connects to the common rail pressure accumulator or to the low-pressure fuel side, thereby controlling the stroke of the valve needle, the opening and closing of the valve and thus the desired injection quantity.
Prinzipiell benötigt die bekannte Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage für jeden einzelnen Injektor die beiden genau arbeitenden und damit aufwendigen 3/2 -Steuermagnetventile um sowohl die gewünschte Kraftstoffmenge als auch die erforderliche Menge an Zusatzflüssigkeit exakt dosieren zu können.In principle, the known fuel injection system requires the two precisely working and therefore complex 3/2 control solenoid valves for each individual injector in order to be able to precisely dose both the desired amount of fuel and the required amount of additional liquid.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Die erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage weist zur baulichen Vereinfachung und damit zur preisgünstigeren Herstellbarkeit die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 auf . Dadurch können die beiden aufwendigen und teuren 3/2-Magnetsteuerventile durch ein einziges einfacheres und preiswerteres 2/2-Wegeventil ersetzt werden, weil die Mengendosierung für die Zusatzflüssigkeit funktioneil und konstruktiv von den Baugruppen zur Kraftstoffeinsprit- zung getrennt ist . Durch Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Druckspeicherbehälters für Zusatzflüssigkeit können die aus der Common-Rail-Technik für die Kraftstoffeinspritzung bekannten Vorteile ausgenutzt werden. Insbesondere können vom Druckspeicherbehälter mehrere, jeweils zu unterschiedlichen Zweistoffdüsen führende Zusatzflüssigkeitsleitungen abgehen und es kann zur Beschickung einer ganzen Gruppe von Zwei- stoffdüsen mit Zusatzflüssigkeit jeweils nur eine einzige Ventileinheit vorgesehen sein.The fuel injection system according to the invention has the characterizing features of patent claim 1 in order to simplify its construction and therefore to make it more economical to manufacture. As a result, the two complex and expensive 3/2-way solenoid control valves can be replaced by a single simpler and cheaper 2/2-way valve, because the quantity metering for the additional liquid is functional and constructive from the modules for fuel injection. tongue is separated. By using the pressure reservoir for additional liquid according to the invention, the advantages known from common rail technology for fuel injection can be exploited. In particular, a plurality of additional liquid lines, each leading to different two-substance nozzles, can extend from the pressure storage container, and only one valve unit can be provided in each case for charging an entire group of two-substance nozzles with additional liquid.
Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Gegenstands der Erfindung sind der Beschreibung, der Zeichnung und den Ansprüchen zu entnehmen.Further advantages and advantageous configurations of the object of the invention can be found in the description, the drawing and the claims.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung für Brennkraftmaschinen ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung erläutert. Die Figur zeigt eine schematische Beschaltung eines Ausführungsbeispiels der erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage mit einem Druckspeicherbehälter für Zusatz- flüssigkeit .An embodiment of the fuel injection device according to the invention for internal combustion engines is shown in the drawing and is explained in the following description. The figure shows a schematic connection of an embodiment of the fuel injection system according to the invention with a pressure storage container for additional liquid.
Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment
Bei dem in der Figur dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage für eine Brennkraftmaschine zur bifluiden Einspritzung von Kraftstoff (in der Regel Dieselkraftstoff) und einer Zusatzflüssigkeit (in der Regel Wasser) versorgt eine Hochdruckpumpe 1 aus einem Tank 14 einen Common-Rail-Druckspeicher 2 mit Kraftstoff auf einem Druckniveau von etwa 1800 bar. Zwischen dem Common- Rail-Druckspeicher 2 und einem von diesem über eine Einspritzleitung 6 mit Kraftstoff zu versorgenden Druckraum 3.5, der die Düsennadel 3.1 einer Zweistoffdüse 3 umgibt, muß nun ein mengendosierendes Bauelement angeordnet werden, da ja die früher übliche klassische Einspritzpumpe durch die Kombination aus Common-Rail-Druckspeicher 2 und der einfacheren Hochdruckpumpe 1 ersetzt wurde und der Raildruck auf einem gewissen Niveau ständig vorhanden ist . Diese Aufgabe übernimmt bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung ein 2/2 -Wegeventil MV1. Dieses sollte als schnelles Magnetventil mit guter Reproduzierbarkeit und mehr oder weniger fließendem Übergang zwischen den beiden Extremstellungen ausgelegt sein, da eventuell ein zeitlich gestaltbarer Einspritzmengenverlauf benötigt wird. Die genaue Mengendosierung wird über den bekannten (gemessenen oder gesteuerten) Druckabfall zwischen dem Commom-Rail-Druckspeicher 2 und dem von der Zweistoffdüse 3 zu versorgenden Verbrennungsraum der Brennkraftmaschine durch ein genaues Zeitfenster, dessen Größe von anderen Einflußfaktoren abhängt, über eine elektrische Ansteuerung, die in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt ist, ermöglicht .In the embodiment of the fuel injection system according to the invention for an internal combustion engine for bifluid injection of fuel (usually diesel fuel) and an additional liquid (usually water) shown in the figure, a high-pressure pump 1 supplies from a Tank 14 a common rail pressure accumulator 2 with fuel at a pressure level of approximately 1800 bar. Between the common rail pressure accumulator 2 and a pressure chamber 3.5 to be supplied with fuel via an injection line 6 and which surrounds the nozzle needle 3.1 of a two-substance nozzle 3, a quantity-metering component must now be arranged, since the conventional injection pump, which was customary in the past, is due to the combination from common rail pressure accumulator 2 and the simpler high pressure pump 1 was replaced and the rail pressure is constantly available at a certain level. This task is performed in the arrangement according to the invention by a 2/2 directional control valve MV1. This should be designed as a fast solenoid valve with good reproducibility and a more or less smooth transition between the two extreme positions, since a time-definable injection quantity curve may be required. The exact amount is metered via the known (measured or controlled) pressure drop between the commom-rail pressure accumulator 2 and the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to be supplied by the two-substance nozzle 3 through an exact time window, the size of which depends on other influencing factors, via an electrical control which is not shown in the drawing.
Der Aufbau und die Wirkungsweise der verwendeten Zweistoff- düse 3 ist abgesehen von kleineren Details aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. Beim erfindungsgemäßen System ist jedoch zusätzlich an dem der Düsennadelspitze abgewandten stumpfen axialen Ende der Düsennadel (Injektorstößel) 3.1 ein kleiner Kolben 3.3 vorgesehen, der mit seinem der Düsennadel 3.1 abgewandten Ende in einen Raum 3.6 ragt, welcher über eine Leitung 4 direkt mit dem Common-Rail -Druckspeicher 2 verbunden ist und mit dem dort herrschenden Hochdruck beaufschlagt wird. Dies hat zur Folge, daß zur Bewegung des Injektorstö- ßels 3.1 stets die im wesentlichen gleiche Widerstandskraft überwunden werden muß, da nun bedingt durch die konstanten Kolbenflächenverhältnisse und das Ausschalten der Einflüsse des Absolutdrucks im Common-Rail-Druckspeicher 2 nur ein konstanter Federdruck von einem Druckimpuls aus dem (veränderlichen) Raildruck überwunden werden muß. Damit stellen sich regeltechnisch willkommenere, annähernd konstante Schaltzeiten (Bewegungszeit des Injektorstößels) ein. Zur Belüftung des Raumes 3.2, der das stumpfe axiale Ende der Düsennadel 3.1 aufnimmt, und der gegen den Raum 3.6 hochdruckmäßig abgedichtet ist, ist eine zur Kraftstoff-Niederdruckseite hin führende Belüftungsleitung 5 vorgesehen.The structure and the mode of operation of the two-component nozzle 3 used, apart from minor details, is known from the prior art. In the system according to the invention, however, a small piston 3.3 is additionally provided on the blunt axial end of the nozzle needle (injector plunger) 3.1 facing away from the nozzle needle tip, which protrudes with its end facing away from the nozzle needle 3.1 into a space 3.6 which is connected via a line 4 directly to the common nozzle. Rail pressure accumulator 2 is connected and acted upon by the high pressure prevailing there becomes. The consequence of this is that to move the injector plunger 3.1, the essentially the same resistance must always be overcome, since now, owing to the constant piston area conditions and the switching off of the influences of the absolute pressure in the common rail pressure accumulator 2, only a constant spring pressure of one Pressure pulse from the (variable) rail pressure must be overcome. This results in more or less constant switching times (movement time of the injector tappet) that are more technically welcome. To ventilate the space 3.2, which receives the blunt axial end of the nozzle needle 3.1, and which is sealed against the space 3.6 with respect to high pressure, a ventilation line 5 leading to the fuel low-pressure side is provided.
Die Einspritzung von Zusatzflüssigkeit in die Zweistoffdüse 3 erfolgt aus einem Druckspeicherbehälter 7 über ein Einlagerungsventil 10, das eine zu einem Rückschlagventil 3.4 in der Zweistoffdüse 3 führende Zusatzflüssigkeitsleitung 13 öffnen oder schließen kann. Der Druckspeicherbehälter 7 wird über ein Rückschlagventil 11 von einer Pumpe 8 aus einem Vorratsbehälter 12 mit Zusatzflüssigkeit beschickt. Der Druck im Druckspeicherbehälter 7 wird über ein Druckregel- ventil 9 auf einem gewünschten Niveau gehalten.The additional liquid is injected into the two-substance nozzle 3 from a pressure storage container 7 via a storage valve 10, which can open or close an additional liquid line 13 leading to a check valve 3.4 in the two-substance nozzle 3. The pressure storage container 7 is charged with additional liquid from a reservoir 12 via a check valve 11 from a pump 8. The pressure in the pressure storage container 7 is kept at a desired level via a pressure control valve 9.
Bei dem in der Zeichnung gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind der Common-Rail-Druckspeicher 2 für den Kraftstoff und der Druckspeicherbehälter 7 für die Zusatzflüssigkeit einstückig ausgeführt, um Platz im Motorraum der Brennkraftmaschine einzusparen.In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the common rail pressure accumulator 2 for the fuel and the pressure storage container 7 for the additional liquid are made in one piece in order to save space in the engine compartment of the internal combustion engine.
Vom Druckspeicherbehälter 7 aus können mehrere, jeweils zu unterschiedlichen Zweistoffdüsen führende Zusatzflüssigkeitsleitungen abgehen, die in der Zeichnung pauschal mit "13'" bezeichnet sind. Zur Beschickung einer ganzen Gruppe von Zweistoffdüsen mit Zusatzflüssigkeit kann jeweils auch nur eine einzige Ventileinheit vorgesehen sein, die dann als entsprechendes Mehrwegeventil ausgestaltet sein muß. Ebenso können auch vom Common-Rail-Druckspeicher mehrere Injektoren über geeignete Ventileinheiten mit Kraftstoff beschickt werden.From the pressure storage tank 7, several additional liquid lines, each leading to different two-substance nozzles, can come out, which are shown in the drawing as a flat rate "13 '" are designated. To supply a whole group of two-substance nozzles with additional liquid, only a single valve unit can be provided, which must then be designed as a corresponding multi-way valve. Likewise, several injectors can also be supplied with fuel from the common rail pressure accumulator via suitable valve units.
Die Pumpe 8 zur Beschickung des Druckspeicherbehälters 7 mit Zusatzflüssigkeit kann eine elektrisch betriebene Pumpe, beispielsweise eine zweistufige Zahnradpumpe sein, die bis zu einem Druckniveau von ca. 50 bar Zusatzflüssigkeit fördern kann .The pump 8 for loading the pressure storage container 7 with additional liquid can be an electrically operated pump, for example a two-stage gear pump, which can deliver additional liquid up to a pressure level of approximately 50 bar.
Der erfindungsgemäße Druckspeicherbehälter 7 für Zusatzflüssigkeit ist bei Motoren mit unterschiedlichster Zylinderzahl und für Einspritzanlagen unterschiedlichsten Aufbaus einsetzbar. The pressure storage container 7 according to the invention for additional liquid can be used in engines with a very wide variety of cylinders and for injection systems with a wide variety of designs.
