Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, in particular two-stroke large diesel engines, with a nozzle head which projects into an assigned combustion chamber and is arranged eccentrically to the axis of the combustion chamber and which has a blind borehole which can be acted upon by fuel and from which a plurality of nozzle boreholes depart, which are arranged by means of a slide element arranged in the blind borehole.
  • a fuel injection device of this type is known from EP 0 606 371 B1.
  • the fuel injection devices In large two-stroke diesel engines with a central exhaust valve provided in the cylinder head, the fuel injection devices generally have to be arranged in the region of the periphery of the combustion chamber.
  • the nozzle bores of the nozzle head are arranged in such a way that there is a main injection direction going off to one side of the nozzle head.
  • the nozzle bores In order to avoid a large lateral scattering of the injection jet, the nozzle bores are not arranged radially with respect to the axis of the blind bore, but have a course that faces the main injection direction. This leads to different lengths of the nozzle bores among one another and to different bore lengths over the circumference of individual bores. At the same time there are very different contact angles in the area of the inner ends of the nozzle bores.
  • this object is achieved in that at least some of the nozzle bores are assigned entrance chambers which extend from the blind bore, the inside width of which is larger than the diameter of the nozzle bores and which are designed in such a way that all nozzle bores in the row of bores are at least aligned with one another
  • an input chamber can be expediently assigned to the outer nozzle bores of a row of bores.
  • the greatest effect can be achieved in the area of the outer nozzle bores of a row of bores with the aid of the inlet chambers according to the invention, since previously a highly unstable flow had to be feared, particularly in the area of the outer nozzle bores of a row of bores.
  • the inlet chambers can be formed as recesses of the nozzle head which are hemispherical in cross section.
  • the hemispherical recesses advantageously allow the creation of exactly the same contact angle over the entire circumference of a nozzle bore.
  • the hemispherical recesses are expediently arranged in such a way that their center lies on the axis of the respectively assigned nozzle bore, so that it is centered with respect to the center of the assigned input chamber.
  • each nozzle bore has a corresponding one in a simple manner Entrance chamber can be assigned without the nozzle head being weakened too much.
  • the hemispherical recesses can easily be arranged so that in the region between two mutually adjacent recesses there is in each case a stationary web which can function as a guide web for the slide element, thereby protecting it against wear.
  • the inlet chambers are designed as ring segment-shaped recesses of the nozzle head.
  • a particularly inexpensive manufacture is possible here.
  • the configuration enables the contact angle to be achieved comparatively well adapted to a value of 90 ° in the transition region between a nozzle bore and the respectively assigned input chamber.
  • a step-shaped cross-sectional widening advantageously formed by a step-shaped cut-out can be provided at the outer end of the nozzle bore. This advantageously results in an axially normal boundary surface surrounding the outer end of the nozzle bores. This is ensures that disturbances of the jet are avoided, thereby stabilizing it, which favors the entrainment of air.
  • FIG. 1 shows a section through an injection valve according to the invention of a two-stroke large diesel engine
  • FIG. 2 shows an example with hemispherical inlet chambers on the basis of a horizontal section in the area of the nozzle bores through the nozzle head of an injection valve of a large two-stroke diesel engine
  • Figure 3 shows an example with ring segment-shaped
  • FIG. 4 shows a section along the line TV / TV in FIG. 3.
  • the injection valve 1 on which FIG. 1 is based consists of a sleeve-shaped, tapered jacket housing 2 which carries a nozzle head 4 provided with a blind bore 3. This is supported with a rear flange on a front collar of the casing 2. The rear end of the nozzle head 4 connects to a guide bush 5 which is accommodated in the casing 2 and which is provided with a through-bore 6 which is coaxial with the blind bore 3 of the nozzle head 4.
  • This has a step-shaped narrowing, which is designed as a valve seat 7, with which a valve body 8 cooperates, which projects from a shaft 9 arranged in the guide bush 5.
  • the diameter of the valve body 8 is smaller than the diameter of the stem 9, so that there is an annular space 10 surrounding the valve body 8 and belonging to the bore 6.
  • the shaft 9 is provided with a central bore 11 which is connected to a fuel line and can be acted upon with fuel and which is connected to the annular space 10 via branch bores 12.
  • the valve body 8 is pressed against the sealing seat 7 by the action of a return spring, not shown here, which cooperates with the stem 9. With a corresponding increase in pressure of the fuel present in the annular space 10, the valve body 8 is lifted off the associated sealing seat 7, which results in a connection of the area to which fuel can be applied to the blind bore 3 of the nozzle head 4.
  • the lower part of the nozzle head 4 is provided with a plurality of nozzle bores 13, which are arranged next to one another at approximately the same height and extend transversely to the axis of the blind bore 3 and through which the fuel can be injected into an assigned combustion chamber.
  • an annular slide element 15 is connected to the valve body 8 via a rod 14, the lower edge of which is one of the nozzle bores 13 traversing control edge, which is arranged so that the nozzle bores 13 are open when the valve body 8 is lifted from the associated valve seat 7 and that the nozzle bores 13 are closed when the valve body 8 abuts the valve seat 7. This position is the basis of Figure 1.
  • the nozzle bores 13 can be arranged axially normal or, as in FIG. 4, be slightly inclined outwards. Since the injection jet generated jointly by the nozzle bores 13 should not diverge too much, the nozzle bores 13 are not arranged radially with respect to the axis of the blind bore 3, but rather face a radial toward the main injection direction, so that there is a smaller diverging or scattering angle.
  • the nozzle bores 13 would pass through to the blind bore 3 without a change in cross-section, there would be very greatly differing inflow conditions to the individual nozzle bores 13 and also within individual nozzle bores 13.
  • the two outer nozzle bores 13 of the row of bores provided here which comprise four nozzle bores 13 arranged next to one another much longer than the inner nozzle bores 13, with different lengths also resulting in the area of these outer nozzle bores 13 over their circumference. These conditions would lead to poor combustion and thus to high fuel consumption and emissions, etc.
  • the nozzle bores 13 are assigned entrance chambers 16 which extend from the blind bore 3 and whose inside width is larger than the diameter of the nozzle bores 13.
  • hemispherical recesses 17 of the nozzle head 4 are provided to form the above-mentioned input chambers from the blind bore 3.
  • the hemispherical recesses 17 can easily be produced by electrolytic material removal with the aid of a device operating according to the EDM (electrical discharge machining) method.
  • the nozzle bores 13 themselves are simply drilled using a laser beam.
  • the hemispherical recesses 17 each forming an input chamber are arranged such that their center lies on the axis of the associated nozzle bore 13. In this way, the nozzle bores 13 are centered 10
  • each assigned hemispherical recesses 17 are dimensioned such that a web 19 remains between two adjacent hemispherical recesses 17, which can act as a guide web for the annular slide element 15, so that it is also reliably supported in the area of the entrance chambers is what is beneficial for achieving a long life.
  • the inlet bores 13 are assigned inlet chambers designed as annular segment-shaped recesses 20 of the nozzle head 4.
  • the radii of the ring segment-shaped recesses 20 are adapted to the respectively assigned nozzle bore 13 or nozzle bores 13 in such a way that in the transition region 11
  • each nozzle bore 13 its own entrance chamber formed by a ring segment 20.
  • the two middle nozzle bores 13 are assigned a common input chamber formed by a ring segment 20.
  • This ring segment 20 corresponds to a section of an annular groove coaxial with the axis of the blind bore 3 of the nozzle head 4 and is delimited by the adjacent ring segments 20, which have a smaller radius and are assigned to the two outer nozzle bores 13.
  • outer ring segments 20 are arranged so that their center is on the axis of the respectively assigned nozzle bore 13, so that it is centered with respect to the associated input chamber, which contributes to an equalization of the inflow conditions over the entire circumference of the bore.
  • the center point of the ring segment 20 assigned to the two middle nozzle bores 13 is in the area between the two axes of the two assigned nozzle bores 13.
  • a cutout 22 having a larger diameter than the nozzle bores 13 is provided in the area of the outer end of the nozzle bores 13, in the example on which FIGS. 3 and 4 are based. This leads to a step-like cross-sectional widening with an annular surface 23 which is normal to the respective bore axis and surrounds the end of the bore 12
  • Cut-out 22 ensures that the jet emerging from the nozzle bore 13 does not experience any interference.
