Dazu weist das Brennstoffeinspritzventil die üblichen Bauteile eines elektromagnetischen Kreises, wie eine Magnetspule, einen Innenpol und einen Außenpol auf. Bei diesem bekannten Einspritzventil handelt es sich um ein sogenanntes Side-Feed-Einspritzventil, bei dem die Brennstoffzufuhr weitgehend unterhalb des Magnetkreises erfolgt. Von der Magnetspule ausgehend ragen Kontaktstifte aus dem Brennstoffeinspritzventil heraus, die über eine gewisse Länge mit Kunststoff umspritzt und in diesem eingebettet sind. Die Kunststoffumspritzung wird an einem Ende des Brennstoffeinspritzventils aufgebracht und stellt kein eigenständiges Bauteil des Einspritzventils dar.From US Pat.

Contact pins protrude from the solenoid out of the fuel injector, which has a certain length encapsulated with plastic and in this are embedded. The plastic extrusion is on one End of the fuel injector applied and provides not an independent component of the injection valve.

Gleiches gilt für das aus der DE-OS 34 39 672 bekannte Brennstoffeinspritzventil. Auch hier ragen von der Magnetspule ausgehend Kontaktstifte zu einem elektrischen Anschlußstecker, der aus Kunststoff ausgebildet ist und die Kontaktstifte hinter der Magnetspule teilweise umgibt. Die den Anschlußstecker bildende Kunststoffumspritzung ist dabei auf das metallene Ventilgehäuse aufgespritzt.The same applies to what is known from DE-OS 34 39 672 Fuel injector. Also protrude from here Magnetic coil outgoing contact pins to an electrical Connector that is made of plastic and the Partially surrounds contact pins behind the solenoid. The the injection molding forming the connector is there sprayed onto the metal valve housing.

In der nicht vorveröffentlichten DE-P 197 12 591.3 wurde bereits vorgeschlagen, ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil aus zwei vormontierten Baugruppen, einem Funktionsteil und einem Anschlußteil, zusammenzusetzen, die separat hergestellt und eingestellt und nachfolgend fest miteinander verbunden werden. Mit dem Verbinden beider Baugruppen werden auch eine elektrische und eine hydraulische Verbindung geschaffen. Das Fügen der beiden Baugruppen erfolgt mittels Ultraschallschweißen, Kleben oder Bördeln.In the unpublished DE-P 197 12 591.3 it has already been proposed Fuel injector from two pre-assembled assemblies, a functional part and a connecting part, put together, manufactured and adjusted separately and subsequently firmly connected to each other. With the Connecting both assemblies will also be electrical and created a hydraulic connection. Adding the both assemblies are made using ultrasonic welding, Glue or flare.

Ein solches Brennstoffeinspritzventil ist auch aus der DE-A- 3 834 444 bekannt (siche Figur 3).Such a fuel injector is also out DE-A-3 834 444 known (see Figure 3).

Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, daß es auf einfache Art und Weise kostengünstig herstellbar und sicher und zuverlässig montierbar ist. In vorteilhafter Weise wird eine große mechanische Stabilität des Brennstoffeinspritzventils erreicht. Zudem ist gewährleistet, daß elektrische Verbindungselemente innerhalb des Ventils sicher und geschützt vorliegen.The fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that it can be manufactured inexpensively in a simple manner and can be installed safely and reliably. In advantageous Way, a great mechanical stability of the Fuel injector reached. In addition is ensures that electrical connectors within of the valve is safe and protected.

Außerdem können sehr einfach Variationen der Bauformen des Brennstoffeinspritzventils vorgenommen werden. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß zwei Baugruppen des Brennstoffeinspritzventils, ein Funktionsteil und ein Anschlußteil, separat voneinander vormontiert bzw. eingestellt werden. Das Funktionsteil umfaßt dabei im wesentlichen einen elektromagnetischen Kreis und ein aus Ventilsitzkörper und Ventilschließkörper gebildetes Dichtventil. Im Anschlußteil sind dagegen der elektrische und der hydraulische Anschluß des Einspritzventils vorgesehen. Alle beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der Brennstoffeinspritzventile besitzen den Vorteil einer kostengünstigen Herstellbarkeit mit sehr vielen Bauformvarianten. In einer großen Stückzahl weitgehend baugleich (Unterschiede z.B. in der Größe des Ventilnadelhubs oder der Windungszahl der Magnetspule) gefertigte Funktionsteile können mit sehr vielen verschiedenen Anschlußteilen, die sich beispielsweise in der Größe und Formgebung, in der Ausgestaltung des elektrischen Anschlußsteckers, in der Ausbildung der unteren Stirnfläche des Anschlußteils oder auch bezüglich ihrer Farbe, ihrer Markierung, ihrer Beschriftung oder einer anderen Kennzeichnung unterscheiden, verbunden werden. Die Logistik bei der Herstellung von Brennstoffeinspritzventilen wird grundsätzlich somit vereinfacht.In addition, variations in the designs of the Fuel injector are made. this will thereby achieved that two assemblies of Fuel injector, a functional part and a Connection part, pre-assembled separately from each other or can be set. The functional part includes essentially an electromagnetic circuit and an off Valve seat body and valve closing body formed Sealing valve. In the connection part, however, are the electrical and the hydraulic connection of the injection valve intended. All described embodiments of the Fuel injectors have the advantage of one inexpensive to manufacture with a great many Design variants. Largely in large numbers identical (differences e.g. in the size of the Valve needle strokes or the number of turns of the solenoid) manufactured functional parts can with many various connecting parts, for example in the Size and shape, in the design of the electrical Connector, in the formation of the lower end face of the connector or also in terms of their color, their Marking, their label or another Differentiate labeling, be connected. The logistics in the manufacture of fuel injectors basically simplified.

Durch die Trennung in zwei Baugruppen ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß alle negativen Einflüsse beim Herstellen des weitgehend aus Kunststoff bestehenden Anschlußteils (große Umspritzungsdrücke, Wärmeentwicklung) von den die wichtigen Ventilfunktionen ausübenden Bauteilen des Funktionsteils ferngehalten werden. Der relativ schmutzige Umspritzungsvorgang kann in vorteilhafter Weise außerhalb der Montagelinie des Funktionsteils erfolgen.The separation into two modules results in Advantage that all negative influences when manufacturing the largely made of plastic connector (large Overmolding pressures, heat development) of which the important ones Components of the functional part that perform valve functions be kept away. The relatively dirty one Overmolding process can advantageously outside the assembly line of the functional part.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Brennstoffeinspritzventils möglich.By the measures listed in the subclaims advantageous developments and improvements in Claim 1 specified fuel injector possible.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, für die Umspritzung zur Herstellung einer festen Verbindung der beiden Baugruppen einen Kunststoff zu wählen, der bei einer höheren Temperatur seinen Schmelzpunkt hat als der für das Anschlußteil verwendete Kunststoff. Somit ist gewährleistet, daß eine polymere Verbindung zwischen den beiden Kunststoffen eingegangen wird. Von Vorteil ist es, am äußeren Umfang des Anschlußteils eine Labyrinthdichtung auszuführen. Beim Umspritzen wird so eine Wärmeverteilung erzielt, die ein gutes Anschmelzen ermöglicht. Außerdem wird erreicht, daß eine hohe mechanische Stabilität in diesem Bereich und damit des gesamten Brennstoffeinspritzventils und eine gute Dichtheit gewährleistet sind.It is particularly advantageous for the extrusion coating Establishing a firm connection between the two assemblies to choose a plastic that is at a higher temperature has its melting point than that for the connector used plastic. This ensures that a polymeric connection between the two plastics is received. It is advantageous to use the outer circumference of the To carry out a labyrinth seal. At the Overmoulding is achieved so that a heat distribution allows good melting. It is also achieved that high mechanical stability in this area and thus of the entire fuel injector and a good one Tightness are guaranteed.

Von Vorteil ist es, das alle wichtigen Ventilfunktionen ausübende Funktionsteil sehr kurz auszuführen. In vorteilhafter Weise ergibt sich so ein vereinfachter Zugang zu den einzustellenden Bauteilen des Einspritzventils. Vor allen Dingen ergeben sich deutlich verkürzte Wege für das Einbringen von Meßanordnungen, wie z.B. von Meßtastern zur Messung des Hubs der Ventilnadel oder Werkzeugen zur Einstellung der dynamischen Abspritzmenge an dem Einstellelement.It is an advantage that all important valve functions performing the functional part very briefly. In This advantageously results in simplified access to the parts of the injector to be set. In front all things there are clearly shortened ways for that Introduction of measuring arrangements, e.g. from probes to Measurement of the stroke of the valve needle or tools for Setting the dynamic spray volume on the Adjustment.

In vorteilhafter Weise können am Anschlußteil an dessen stromabwärtigem Ende mehrere axial abstehende Segmente vorgesehen sein, die nach dem Umspritzvorgang in die Umspritzung hineinragen. Durch diese in die Umspritzung ragenden Segmente wird die Wärmeableitung während des Umspritzvorgangs verbessert. Zugleich wird das heiße Volumen im Umspritzvorgang recht klein gehalten. Dadurch läßt sich die Zykluszeit des Umspritzens deutlich reduzieren. Außerdem ist in vorteilhafter Weise die Masseanhäufung innerhalb der Umspritzung reduziert. Die Lunkerbildung kann so wirkungsvoll verringert werden. Durch die Segmente entstehen zudem Verwirbelungen im fließenden Kunststoff. Dies führt zu einer erhöhten Festigkeit der gesamten Umspritzung.Advantageously, the connector on the downstream end several axially projecting segments be provided, which after the molding process in the Protrude extrusion. Through this into the extrusion coating protruding segments, the heat dissipation during the Overmolding process improved. At the same time, the hot volume kept quite small in the molding process. This allows significantly reduce the molding cycle time. Moreover is advantageously the mass accumulation within the Overmolding reduced. The formation of voids can be done in this way be reduced effectively. Through the segments arise also turbulence in the flowing plastic. this leads to increased strength of the entire extrusion coating.

Vorteilhaft ist es, einen Brennstoffilter im Funktionsteil anzuordnen. Es bietet sich an, als Siebgeflecht ein Metallfiltergewebe zu verwenden. Bis zur Fertigmontage des Ventils ist somit garantiert, daß keine Schmutzpartikel in das Innere des Funktionsteils gelangen. It is advantageous to have a fuel filter in the functional part to arrange. It lends itself as a mesh screen Use metal filter cloth. Until the final assembly of the Valve is thus guaranteed that no dirt particles in get inside the functional part.

In vorteilhafter Weise kann eine sehr große Variation der elektrischen Verbindungselemente am Funktionsteil und Anschlußteil vorgenommen werden. So ist es jederzeit möglich, die elektrischen Verbindungselemente sowohl am Funktionsteil als auch am Anschlußteil entweder steckerähnlich oder buchsenähnlich bzw. als Kombination beider Möglichkeiten auszubilden.A very large variation of the electrical connecting elements on the functional part and Be made connector. It is always like that possible to connect the electrical connectors on both Functional part as well as on the connecting part either plug-like or socket-like or as a combination to train both possibilities.

Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments

Das in der Figur 1 beispielhaft und teilweise vereinfacht dargestellte, erfindungsgemäße elektromagnetisch betätigbare Ventil in der Form eines Einspritzventils für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschinen hat einen von einer Magnetspule 1 umgebenen, als Innenpol und teilweise als Brennstoffdurchfluß dienenden weitgehend rohrförmigen Kern 2. Die Magnetspule 1 ist von einem äußeren, hülsenförmigen und gestuft ausgeführten, z. B. ferromagnetischen Ventilmantel 5 als Außenpol umgeben, der die Magnetspule 1 in Umfangsrichtung vollständig umgibt. Die Magnetspule 1, der Innenpol 2 und der Außenpol 5 bilden zusammen ein elektrisch erregbares Betätigungselement. Als eine weitere, nicht dargestellte Ausbildungsvariante kann das Betätigungselement durchaus auch als Piezoaktor ausgeführt sein.This is exemplarily and partially simplified in FIG. 1 shown electromagnetically actuated according to the invention Valve in the form of an injector for Fuel injection systems from mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines has one of one Magnetic coil 1 surrounded, as an inner pole and partially as Fuel flow serving largely tubular Core 2. The magnetic coil 1 is from an outer, sleeve-shaped and stepped, z. B. surrounded ferromagnetic valve jacket 5 as the outer pole, the completely surrounds the magnetic coil 1 in the circumferential direction. The Form solenoid 1, the inner pole 2 and the outer pole 5 together an electrically excitable actuator. As another training variant, not shown, can the actuating element can also be used as a piezo actuator be executed.

Während die in einem Spulenkörper 3 eingebettete Magnetspule 1 eine Ventilhülse 6 von außen umgibt, ist der Kern 2 in einer inneren, konzentrisch zu einer Ventillängsachse 10 verlaufenden Öffnung 11 der Ventilhülse 6 eingebracht. Die z.B. ferritische Ventilhülse 6 ist langgestreckt und dünnwandig ausgeführt und besitzt einen Mantelabschnitt 12 und einen Bodenabschnitt 13, wobei der Mantelabschnitt 12 in Umfangsrichtung und der Bodenabschnitt 13 in axialer Richtung an ihrem stromabwärtigen Ende die Öffnung 11 begrenzen. Die Öffnung 11 dient auch als Führungsöffnung für eine entlang der Ventillängsachse 10 axial bewegliche Ventilnadel 14.While the magnet coil embedded in a coil body 3 1 surrounds a valve sleeve 6 from the outside, the core 2 is in an inner, concentric to a longitudinal valve axis 10 extending opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6 introduced. The e.g. ferritic valve sleeve 6 is elongated and thin-walled and has a jacket section 12 and a bottom portion 13, the shell portion 12 in Circumferential direction and the bottom portion 13 in the axial Direction at its downstream end the opening 11 limit. The opening 11 also serves as a guide opening for one axially movable along the valve longitudinal axis 10 Valve needle 14.

Neben dem Kern 2 und der Ventilnadel 14 ist in der Öffnung 11 des weiteren ein Ventilsitzkörper 15 angeordnet, der z.B. auf dem Bodenabschnitt 13 der Ventilhülse 6 aufsitzt und eine feste Ventilsitzfläche 16 als Ventilsitz aufweist. Die Ventilnadel 14 wird beispielsweise von einem rohrförmigen Ankerabschnitt 17, einem ebenfalls rohrförmigen Nadelabschnitt 18 und einem kugelförmigen Ventilschließkörper 19 gebildet, wobei der Ventilschließkörper 19 z.B. mittels einer Schweißnaht fest mit dem Nadelabschnitt 18 verbunden ist. An der stromabwärtigen Stirnseite des Ventilsitzkörpers 15 ist z. B. in einer kegelstumpfförmig verlaufenden Vertiefung 20 eine flache Spritzlochscheibe 21 angeordnet, wobei die feste Verbindung von Ventilsitzkörper 15 und Spritzlochscheibe 21 z. B. durch eine umlaufende dichte Schweißnaht realisiert ist. Im Nadelabschnitt 18 der Ventilnadel 14 sind eine oder mehrere Queröffnungen 22 vorgesehen, so daß den Ankerabschnitt 17 in einer inneren Längsbohrung 23 durchströmender Brennstoff nach außen treten und am Ventilschließkörper 19 z.B. an Abflachungen 24 entlang bis zur Ventilsitzfläche 16 strömen kann.In addition to the core 2 and the valve needle 14 is in the opening 11 further arranged a valve seat body 15 which e.g. sits on the bottom portion 13 of the valve sleeve 6 and has a fixed valve seat surface 16 as a valve seat. The Valve needle 14 is, for example, of a tubular Anchor section 17, also tubular Needle section 18 and a spherical Valve closing body 19 is formed, the Valve closing body 19 e.g. by means of a weld seam is connected to the needle section 18. At the is downstream end of the valve seat body 15 z. B. in a frustoconical recess 20 a flat spray plate 21 is arranged, the fixed Connection of valve seat body 15 and spray orifice plate 21 z. B. realized by a circumferential dense weld is. In the needle section 18 of the valve needle 14 there are one or several transverse openings 22 are provided so that the Anchor section 17 in an inner longitudinal bore 23 fuel flowing through to the outside and on Valve closing body 19 e.g. along flats 24 to can flow to the valve seat surface 16.

Die Betätigung des Einspritzventils erfolgt in bekannter Weise, hier beispielsweise elektromagnetisch. Eine Betätigung mittels Piezoaktor ist aber ebenso denkbar. Zur axialen Bewegung der Ventilnadel 14 und damit zum Öffnen entgegen der Federkraft einer an der Ventilnadel 14 angreifenden Rückstellfeder 25 bzw. Schließen des Einspritzventils dient der elektromagnetische Kreis mit der Magnetspule 1, dem inneren Kern 2, dem äußeren Ventilmantel 5 und dem Ankerabschnitt 17. Der Ankerabschnitt 17 ist mit dem dem Ventilschließkörper 19 abgewandten Ende auf den Kern 2 ausgerichtet.The injection valve is actuated in a known manner Way, here for example electromagnetic. A Actuation by means of a piezo actuator is also conceivable. to axial movement of the valve needle 14 and thus for opening against the spring force of one on the valve needle 14 attacking return spring 25 or closing the Injector serves the electromagnetic circuit with the Solenoid 1, the inner core 2, the outer valve jacket 5 and the anchor section 17. The anchor section 17 is with the end facing away from the valve closing body 19 onto the core 2 aligned.

Der kugelförmige Ventilschließkörper 19 wirkt mit der sich in Strömungsrichtung kegelstumpfförmig verjüngenden Ventilsitzfläche 16 des Ventilsitzkörpers 15 zusammen, die in axialer Richtung stromabwärts einer Führungsöffnung im Ventilsitzkörper 15 ausgebildet ist. Die Spritzlochscheibe 21 besitzt wenigstens eine, beispielsweise vier durch Erodieren, Laserbohren oder Stanzen ausgeformte Abspritzöffnungen 27. The spherical valve closing body 19 interacts with the tapered in the direction of flow Valve seat surface 16 of the valve seat body 15 together, the in the axial direction downstream of a guide opening in Valve seat body 15 is formed. The spray hole disc 21 has at least one, for example four through EDM, laser drilling or stamping molded Spray orifices 27.

Die Einschubtiefe des Kerns 2 im Einspritzventil ist unter anderem entscheidend für den Hub der Ventilnadel 14. Dabei ist die eine Endstellung der Ventilnadel 14 bei nicht erregter Magnetspule 1 durch die Anlage des Ventilschließkörpers 19 an der Ventilsitzfläche 16 des Ventilsitzkörpers 15 festgelegt, während sich die andere Endstellung der Ventilnadel 14 bei erregter Magnetspule 1 durch die Anlage des Ankerabschnitts 17 am stromabwärtigen Kernende ergibt. Die Hubeinstellung erfolgt durch ein axiales Verschieben des Kerns 2, der entsprechend der gewünschten Position nachfolgend fest mit der Ventilhülse 6 verbunden wird.The insertion depth of the core 2 in the injection valve is below other decisive for the stroke of the valve needle 14 the one end position of the valve needle 14 is not at excited solenoid 1 by the system of Valve closing body 19 on the valve seat surface 16 of the Valve seat body 15 set while the other End position of the valve needle 14 when the solenoid coil 1 is excited by the installation of the anchor section 17 on the downstream Core end results. The stroke is set by a axial displacement of the core 2, which corresponds to the desired position subsequently firmly with the valve sleeve 6 is connected.

In eine konzentrisch zu der Ventillängsachse 10 verlaufende Strömungsbohrung 28 des Kerns 2, die der Zufuhr des Brennstoffs in Richtung der Ventilsitzfläche 16 dient, ist außer der Rückstellfeder 25 ein Einstellelement in der Form einer Einstellfeder 29 eingeschoben. Die Einstellfeder 29 dient zur Einstellung der Federvorspannung der an der Einstellfeder 29 anliegenden Rückstellfeder 25, die sich wiederum mit ihrer gegenüberliegenden Seite an der Ventilnadel 14 abstützt, wobei auch eine Einstellung der dynamischen Abspritzmenge mit der Einstellfeder 29 erfolgt. Das Einstellelement kann auch anstelle einer Einstellfeder als Einstellbolzen, Einstellhülse usw. ausgeführt sein.In a concentric to the valve longitudinal axis 10 Flow bore 28 of the core 2, which is the supply of the Serves fuel in the direction of the valve seat surface 16 is in addition to the return spring 25, an adjusting element in the form an adjusting spring 29 inserted. The adjusting spring 29 is used to adjust the spring preload on the Adjustment spring 29 adjacent return spring 25, which itself again with its opposite side on the Valve needle 14 supports, with an adjustment of the dynamic spray quantity with the setting spring 29. The adjusting element can also be used instead of an adjusting spring be designed as adjusting bolts, adjusting sleeves etc.

Das bis hierher beschriebene Einspritzventil zeichnet sich durch seinen besonders kompakten Aufbau aus, so daß ein sehr kleines, handliches Einspritzventil entsteht. Diese Bauteile bilden eine vormontierte eigenständige Baugruppe, die nachfolgend Funktionsteil 30 genannt wird und in Figur 3 als solche Baugruppe nochmals separat gezeigt ist. Das Funktionsteil 30 umfaßt also im wesentlichen den elektromagnetischen Kreis 1, 2, 5 sowie ein Dichtventil (Ventilschließkörper 19, Ventilsitzkörper 15) mit einem nachfolgenden Strahlaufbereitungselement (Spritzlochscheibe 21).The injection valve described so far stands out through its particularly compact structure, so that a very small, handy injection valve is created. These components form a pre-assembled standalone assembly that hereinafter called functional part 30 and in Figure 3 as such assembly is shown separately again. The Functional part 30 essentially comprises the electromagnetic circuit 1, 2, 5 and a sealing valve (Valve closing body 19, valve seat body 15) with a following jet processing element (spray orifice plate 21).

Der zwischen dem Ventilmantel 5 und der Ventilhülse 6 gebildete und durch die Magnetspule 1 fast vollständig ausgefüllte Spulenraum ist in dem Ventilsitzkörper 15 zugewandter Richtung durch einen gestuften Radialbereich 32 des Ventilmantels 5 begrenzt, während der Abschluß auf der dem Ventilsitzkörper 15 abgewandten Seite durch ein scheibenförmiges Abdeckelement 33 gewährleistet ist. In einer Ausnehmung des Abdeckelements 33 wird dieses von dem Spulenkörper 3 durchragt. In diesem Bereich stehen beispielsweise zwei Kontaktstifte oder -buchsen 34 aus dem Kunststoff des Spulenkörpers 3 und damit aus dem Funktionsteil 30 heraus. Über die elektrischen Kontaktstifte oder -buchsen 34, die als elektrische Verbindungselemente dienen, erfolgt die elektrische Kontaktierung der Magnetspule 1 und damit deren Erregung.The between the valve jacket 5 and the valve sleeve 6 formed and almost completely by the magnetic coil 1 filled coil space is in the valve seat body 15 facing direction through a stepped radial region 32 of the valve jacket 5 limited, while the conclusion on the the side facing away from the valve seat body 15 by a disc-shaped cover element 33 is guaranteed. In a recess of the cover member 33, this is from the Extends through coil body 3. Stand in this area for example two contact pins or sockets 34 from the Plastic of the bobbin 3 and thus from the Functional part 30 out. Via the electrical contact pins or sockets 34 that act as electrical connectors serve, the electrical contacting takes place Magnetic coil 1 and thus its excitation.

Völlig unabhängig vom Funktionsteil 30 wird eine zweite Baugruppe hergestellt, die im folgenden als Anschlußteil 40 bezeichnet wird. Das eigenständige und vormontierte Anschlußteil 40 ist in Figur 1 montiert mit dem Funktionsteil 30 als Teil des gesamten Einspritzventils und in Figur 2 eigenständig separat dargestellt. Das Anschlußteil 40 zeichnet sich vor allen Dingen dadurch aus, daß es den elektrischen und den hydraulischen Anschluß des Brennstoffeinspritzventils umfaßt. Das weitgehend als Kunststoffteil ausgeführte Anschlußteil 40 besitzt deshalb einen als Brennstoffeinlaßstutzen dienenden rohrförmigen Grundkörper 42. In eine konzentrisch zur Ventillängsachse 10 verlaufende Strömungsbohrung 43 des Grundkörpers 42, die von dem zuströmseitigen Ende des Brennstoffeinspritzventils aus in axialer Richtung vom Brennstoff durchströmt wird, ist beispielsweise ein Brennstoffilter 44 eingeschoben oder eingepreßt. Der Brennstoffilter 44 ragt in die Strömungsbohrung 43 des Grundkörpers 42 an dessen zulaufseitigem Ende und sorgt für die Herausfiltrierung solcher Brennstoffbestandteile, die aufgrund ihrer Größe im Einspritzventil Verstopfungen oder Beschädigungen verursachen könnten.A second is completely independent of the functional part 30 Manufactured assembly, the following as a connector 40th referred to as. The independent and pre-assembled Connection part 40 is mounted in Figure 1 with the Functional part 30 as part of the entire injection valve and shown separately in Figure 2. The Connection part 40 is characterized above all by that it is the electrical and hydraulic connection of the Includes fuel injector. That largely as Plastic part made connector part 40 therefore has a tubular serving as a fuel inlet port Base body 42. In a concentric to the valve longitudinal axis 10 extending flow bore 43 of the base body 42 by the upstream end of the fuel injector is flowed through by the fuel in the axial direction for example, a fuel filter 44 inserted or pressed. The fuel filter 44 protrudes into the Flow bore 43 of the base body 42 at its inlet end and ensures the filtering out such fuel components, due to their size in Injector blockages or damage could cause.

Eine hydraulische Verbindung von Anschlußteil 40 und Funktionsteil 30 wird beim vollständig montierten Brennstoffeinspritzventil dadurch erreicht, daß die Strömungsbohrungen 43 und 28 beider Baugruppen so zueinander gebracht werden, daß ein ungehindertes Durchströmen des Brennstoffs gewährleistet ist. Eine innere Öffnung 46 im Abdeckelement 33 erlaubt es, die Ventilhülse 6 und somit auch den Kern 2 so auszubilden, daß beide die Öffnung 46 durchragen und zumindest die Ventilhülse 6 in Richtung zum Anschlußteil 40 deutlich über das Abdeckelement 33 hinaussteht. Bei der Montage des Anschlußteils 40 an dem Funktionsteil 30 kann ein unterer Endbereich 47 des Grundkörpers 42 in den überstehenden Teil der Ventilhülse 6 zur Erhöhung der Verbindungsstabilität in die Öffnung 11 der Ventilhülse 6 hineinragen.A hydraulic connection of connector 40 and Functional part 30 is in the fully assembled Fuel injector achieved in that the Flow bores 43 and 28 of the two assemblies to one another brought that an unimpeded flow through the Fuel is guaranteed. An inner opening 46 in Cover element 33 allows the valve sleeve 6 and thus also form the core 2 so that both the opening 46 protrude and at least the valve sleeve 6 towards Connection part 40 clearly above the cover element 33 also available. When mounting the connector 40 on the Functional part 30 can have a lower end region 47 of the Base body 42 in the protruding part of the valve sleeve 6 to increase the connection stability in the opening 11 of the Extend valve sleeve 6.

Der Endbereich 47 des Anschlußteils 40 ist beispielsweise gestuft ausgeführt, wobei sich der Grundkörper 42 an einer unteren Stirnfläche 58 vom Außendurchmesser her stark verjüngt. Zusammen mit einem unteren Ringkragen 49 begrenzt die Stirnfläche 58 eine Ringnut 50, in der ein Dichtelement, z.B. ein O-förmiger Dichtring 51, angeordnet ist. Im Verbindungsbereich beider Baugruppen 30 und 40 ist somit eine ausreichende Abdichtung gewährleistet.The end region 47 of the connecting part 40 is, for example stepped, the base body 42 on a lower end face 58 strong from the outside diameter rejuvenated. Limited together with a lower ring collar 49 the end face 58 an annular groove 50, in which a sealing element, e.g. an O-shaped sealing ring 51 is arranged. in the The connection area of both assemblies 30 and 40 is thus adequate sealing is guaranteed.

Außerdem sind im Anschlußteil 40 zwei elektrische Kontaktelemente 55 vorgesehen, die während des Kunststoffspritzgußprozesses des Grundkörpers 42 umspritzt werden und nachfolgend im Kunststoff eingebettet vorliegen. Zu dem weitgehend als Brennstoffeinlaßstutzen dienenden Grundkörper 42 aus Kunststoff gehört auch ein mitangespritzter elektrischer Anschlußstecker 56. Die elektrischen Kontaktelemente 55 enden an ihrem einen Ende als freiliegende Kontaktpins 57 des elektrischen Anschlußsteckers 56, der mit einem entsprechenden nicht gezeigten elektrischen Anschlußelement, wie z. B. einer Kontaktleiste, zur vollständigen elektrischen Kontaktierung des Einspritzventils verbunden werden kann. An ihrem dem Anschlußstecker 56 gegenüberliegenden Ende verlaufen die Kontaktelemente 55 bis zu der unteren Stirnfläche 58 des Anschlußteils 40 und bilden dort ein elektrisches Verbindungselement 59, das z. B. als ebenfalls freiliegende Kontaktstifte ausgeführt ist. Beim vollständig montierten Brennstoffeinspritzventil wirken die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 34 und 59 so zusammen, daß eine sichere elektrische Verbindung entsteht, wobei die Kontaktstifte 59 z. B. in die buchsenartigen, ösenartigen, klammerartigen, stiftförmigen oder kabelschuhförmigen Verbindungselemente 34 am Funktionsteil 30 eingreifen. Beispiele dafür sind in den Figuren 5 bis 7 dargestellt. Über den elektrischen Anschlußstecker 56 und über den elektrischen Verbindungsbereich 34, 59 erfolgt somit die elektrische Kontaktierung der Magnetspule 1 und damit deren Erregung.In addition, two electrical are in the connector 40 Contact elements 55 provided during the Plastic injection molding process of the base body 42 encapsulated and are then embedded in the plastic. To serve largely as a fuel inlet port Base body 42 made of plastic also belongs co-molded electrical connector 56. The electrical contact elements 55 end at one end as exposed contact pins 57 of the electrical Connector plug 56, with a corresponding not shown electrical connection element, such as. B. one Contact strip, for complete electrical contacting of the injection valve can be connected. At their the Connectors 56 opposite ends run the Contact elements 55 to the lower end face 58 of the Connection part 40 and form an electrical there Connecting element 59, the z. B. as also exposed Contact pins is executed. When fully assembled The fuel injector act on the electrical Connectors 34 and 59 together so that a safe electrical connection is established, the contact pins 59 z. B. in the socket-like, eyelet-like, bracket-like, pin-shaped or cable lug-shaped connecting elements 34 intervene on functional part 30. Examples of this are in the Figures 5 to 7 shown. About the electrical Connector 56 and the electrical Connection area 34, 59 is thus electrical Contacting the solenoid 1 and thus its excitation.

Die Figuren 2 und 3 zeigen die beiden eigenständigen und bereits vormontierten Baugruppen Funktionsteil 30 und Anschlußteil 40 vor der endgültigen Montage des Brennstoffeinspritzventils. Es soll ausdrücklich festgehalten werden, daß sowohl das Funktionsteil 30 als auch das Anschlußteil 40 jeweils für sich genommen modular aufgebaut sein kann, was heißen soll, daß zur vereinfachten Herstellung und Montage der Baugruppen 30 und 40 gewisse Unterbaugruppen verwendet werden können. Für eine solche weitere modulare Unterteilung wird im folgenden für die Baugruppe 30 und 40 jeweils ein Beispiel gegeben, die in den Figuren jedoch nicht näher dargestellt sind. Figures 2 and 3 show the two independent and Functional parts 30 and Connection part 40 before the final assembly of the Fuel injector. It is meant to be explicit be noted that both the functional part 30 and also the connecting part 40 individually modular can be built, which means that for simplified Manufacturing and assembly of the assemblies 30 and 40 certain Subassemblies can be used. For one further modular subdivision is described below for the Assembly 30 and 40 each given an example in the Figures are not shown in detail.

In der Figur 2 ist mit einer Strich-Punkt-Linie eine mögliche Modultrennlinie 64 angedeutet, die zeigen soll, daß auch der Anschlußstecker 56 variabel gestaltet werden kann, um dann an verschiedenen Grundkörpern 42 verwendet zu werden. Bei einer derartigen Ausgestaltung liegen also vorerst der hydraulische Anschluß (Grundkörper 42 mit Strömungsbohrung 43) und der elektrische Anschluß (Anschlußstecker 56 mit Kontaktpins 57) getrennt voneinander vor. Erst im montierten Zustand ergeben die beiden Unterbaugruppen das beschriebene Anschlußteil 40. Zur sicheren elektrischen Verbindung der beiden Unterbaugruppen sind im Verbindungsbereich miteinander korrespondierende elektrische Verbindungselemente vorgesehen, die ausgeführt sein können wie die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 34 und 59. Die feste Verbindung der Unterbaugruppen wird durch Schweißen, Löten, Kleben oder eine Umspritzung realisiert.In Figure 2 is a dash-dot line possible module dividing line 64 indicated, which should show that the connector 56 can also be made variable, to then be used on different base bodies 42 become. With such a configuration, therefore for the time being the hydraulic connection (base body 42 with Flow hole 43) and the electrical connection (Connector 56 with contact pins 57) separated from each other in front. The two only result in the assembled state Subassemblies the connector 40 described secure electrical connection of the two subassemblies are corresponding to each other in the connection area electrical connectors provided that run can be like the electrical connecting elements 34 and 59. The fixed connection of the subassemblies is by Welding, soldering, gluing or overmolding realized.

Auch das Funktionsteil 30 kann insofern weiter aus modularen Unterbaugruppen zusammengesetzt sein, indem z.B. das Strahlaufbereitungselement in Form der Spritzlochscheibe 21 in einer vorerst separaten Abspritzbaugruppe eingebaut wird, die erst nachfolgend am Funktionsteil 30 integriert wird. Dabei bietet es sich an, z.B. mehrlagige, mittels sogenannter Multilayergalvanik hergestellte Lochscheiben in der Abspritzbaugruppe, die ein scheibenförmiger Lochscheibenträger sein kann, einzusetzen. Die Lochscheiben können dabei Öffnungskonturen aufweisen, mit denen sehr unterschiedliche Spraymuster oder eine Drallbeaufschlagung des Sprays erzeugbar sind. Die vielfältig ausgestaltbare Abspritzbaugruppe kann beispielsweise mittels (Laser-) Schweißen stromabwärts des Ventilsitzes 16 am Ventilsitzkörper 15 oder einem Gehäuseteil des Funktionsteils 30 befestigt sein. Ähnlich wie bereits in der DE-P 197 12 591.3 eine Schrägstellung des gesamten Funktionsteils 30 vorgeschlagen wurde, kann die Abspritzbaugruppe mit der Spritzlochscheibe 21 z.B. schräg geneigt zur Längsachse als Unterbaugruppe am Funktionsteil 30 vorgesehen sein.In this respect, the functional part 30 can also consist of modular ones Subassemblies, e.g. the Beam preparation element in the form of the spray perforated disk 21 is initially installed in a separate injection assembly, which is only subsequently integrated on the functional part 30. It is useful, e.g. multilayer, by means of so-called multilayer electroplated perforated disks in the injection assembly, which is a disc-shaped Perforated disc carrier can be used. The perforated disks can have opening contours with which very different spray patterns or a swirl application of the spray can be generated. The versatile one Spray assembly can, for example, by means of (laser) Welding downstream of the valve seat 16 am Valve seat body 15 or a housing part of the Functional part 30 be attached. Similar to that in the DE-P 197 12 591.3 an inclination of the whole Functional part 30 has been proposed, the Spray assembly with the spray plate 21 e.g. aslant inclined to the longitudinal axis as a subassembly on the functional part 30 may be provided.

Die beiden Baugruppen Funktionsteil 30 und Anschlußteil 40 werden nach der entsprechenden Vormontage in einem letzten Verfahrensschritt miteinander fest verbunden. Dazu wird das Anschlußteil 40 so weit in die Öffnung 11 der Ventilhülse 6 im Funktionsteil 30 eingebracht, bis die Stirnfläche 58 beispielsweise an der Ventilhülse 6 zum Anschlag kommt, womit bereits die hydraulische Verbindung beider Baugruppen 30, 40 mit der entsprechenden Abdichtung durch den Dichtring 51 an der Ventilhülse 6 realisiert ist. Dabei wird auch die elektrische Verbindung beider Baugruppen 30, 40 hergestellt, da die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 34 und 59 beider Seiten ineinandergreifen (Figur 1).The two modules functional part 30 and connecting part 40 after the corresponding pre-assembly in a last Process step firmly connected. This will be Connection part 40 so far into the opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6 introduced in the functional part 30 until the end face 58 comes to a stop, for example, on the valve sleeve 6, with which already the hydraulic connection of both assemblies 30, 40 with the appropriate seal through the sealing ring 51 is realized on the valve sleeve 6. Thereby the electrical connection of both assemblies 30, 40 established, since the electrical connectors 34 and 59 both Interlocking sides (Figure 1).

Erfindungsgemäß werden die vormontierten Baugruppen 30, 40 im Verbindungsbereich zur mechanischen Verbindung beider Baugruppen 30, 40 umspritzt. Dabei wird ringförmig am äußeren Umfang der Ventilhülse 6 das Volumen zwischen der unteren Stirnfläche 58 des Anschlußteils 40 und dem Abdeckelement 33 des Funktionsteils 30 bis zum äußeren Umfang des Grundkörpers 42 bzw. des Ventilmantels 5 mit Kunststoff ausgefüllt, so daß nach außen hin ein bündiger Abschluß gebildet ist (Figur 1). Durch diese Umspritzung 60 werden die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 34, 59 sicher vor den Einflüssen des Motorraums (Schmutz, Brennstoff) geschützt.According to the preassembled assemblies 30, 40 in the connection area for the mechanical connection of both Assembled assemblies 30, 40. It is ring-shaped on outer circumference of the valve sleeve 6 the volume between the lower end face 58 of the connector 40 and the Cover element 33 of the functional part 30 to the outer Circumference of the base body 42 or the valve jacket 5 with Plastic filled so that a flush to the outside Conclusion is formed (Figure 1). Through this extrusion 60 the electrical connecting elements 34, 59 are safe before the influences of the engine compartment (dirt, fuel) protected.

Für die als "Bauchbinde" ausgestaltete Umspritzung 60 wird ein Kunststoff gewählt, der bei einer höheren Temperatur seinen Schmelzpunkt hat als der für das Anschlußteil 40 verwendete Kunststoff, so daß eine polymere Verbindung zwischen den beiden Kunststoffen eingegangen wird. Oberhalb der Stirnfläche 58 ist der äußere Umfang des Grundkörpers 42 als Labyrinthdichtung 61 ausgeführt, bei der sich mehrere Rillen oder Furchen 62 ringförmig am Umfang des Grundkörpers 42 erstrecken. Das Material zwischen den einzelnen Furchen 62 sollte radial nach außen ziemlich spitz verlaufen, um beim Umspritzen eine Wärmeverteilung in diesem Verbindungsbereich zu schaffen, die ein gutes Anschmelzen ermöglicht. Außerdem sorgt die durch die Furchen 62 erzielte größere Oberfläche dafür, daß eine sehr sichere Verbindung der beiden Kunststoffe erreicht wird, womit eine hohe mechanische Stabilität in diesem Bereich und damit des gesamten Brennstoffeinspritzventils und eine gute Dichtheit gewährleistet sind.For the encapsulation 60 designed as a "belly bandage" a plastic chosen that is at a higher temperature has its melting point than that for the connector 40 used plastic so that a polymeric compound between the two plastics. Above the end face 58 is the outer circumference of the base body 42 designed as a labyrinth seal 61, in which there are several Grooves or furrows 62 in a ring on the circumference of the base body 42 extend. The material between the individual furrows 62 should be fairly pointed radially outward to when molded, a heat distribution in this To create connection area that melts well allows. In addition, the one achieved by the furrows 62 provides larger surface area for a very secure connection of the two plastics is achieved, with which a high mechanical stability in this area and thus the entire fuel injector and good tightness are guaranteed.

Andererseits wird die Qualität der Verbindung zwischen der Umspritzung 60 aus Kunststoff und dem metallenen Funktionsteil 30 dadurch verbessert, daß am oberen, dem Anschlußteil 40 zugewandten Ende 63 des Ventilmantels 5 z.B. mehrere Rillen eingedreht oder eingerollt sind.On the other hand, the quality of the connection between the Overmolding 60 made of plastic and the metal Functional part 30 improved in that at the top, the Connection part 40 facing end 63 of the valve jacket 5 e.g. several grooves are screwed in or rolled up.

Figur 4 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines Funktionsteils 30. Die gegenüber dem in Figur 1 bzw. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gleichbleibenden bzw. gleichwirkenden Bauteile sind dabei durch die gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of a Functional part 30. The compared to that in Figure 1 and 3rd illustrated embodiment constant or components with the same effect are the same Reference numbers marked.

Der grundsätzliche Unterschied gegenüber dem zuvor beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel besteht darin, daß ein Brennstoffilter 44' am Funktionsteil 30 angeordnet ist, und zwar entweder zusätzlich zum bereits am Anschlußteil 40 angebrachten Brennstoffilter 44 oder in vorteilhafter Weise anstelle des Brennstoffilters 44 am Anschlußteil 40. Der Brennstoffilter 44' stützt sich beispielsweise an einer Stufe 66 der Ventilhülse 6 oberhalb des Kerns 2 ab. Der im Bereich der Stufe 66 relativ große Durchmesser der Öffnung 11 der Ventilhülse 6 erlaubt die Verwendung eines Flachfilters anstelle eines (in Figur 1 gezeigten) Korbfilters. Dabei kann das Siebgeflecht auch gewölbt sein, wie aus Figur 4 zu entnehmen ist. Es bietet sich an, als Siebgeflecht ein Metallfiltergewebe zu verwenden, was bei einer Maschenweite von 30 µm eine ausreichende freie Filterfläche besitzt. Während der Handhabung des vormontierten Funktionsteils 30 bis zur Fertigmontage mit dem Anschlußteil 40 ist somit garantiert, daß keine Schmutzpartikel in das Innere des Funktionsteils 30 gelangen.The fundamental difference compared to the previous one described embodiment is that a Fuel filter 44 'is arranged on the functional part 30, and either in addition to that already on the connector part 40 attached fuel filter 44 or advantageously instead of the fuel filter 44 on the connector 40. The Fuel filter 44 'is based, for example, on one Stage 66 of the valve sleeve 6 above the core 2. The one in Area of step 66 relatively large diameter of the opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6 allows the use of a Flat filter instead of one (shown in Figure 1) Basket filter. The mesh screen can also be curved, as can be seen from Figure 4. It offers itself as Screen mesh to use a metal filter cloth, which at a sufficient mesh size of 30 µm Has filter surface. While handling the pre-assembled functional part 30 to final assembly with the connector 40 is thus guaranteed that none Dirt particles in the interior of the functional part 30 reach.

Verschiedene Möglichkeiten des Herstellens der elektrischen Verbindung zwischen den beiden Bauteilen 30, 40 sind in den Figuren 5 bis 7 dargestellt. Dabei zeigt Figur 5 den elektrischen Verbindungsbereich mit den elektrischen Verbindungselementen 34, 59 in schematischer Darstellung, während die Figuren 6A bis 6C drei Ausführungsformen für Kontaktstifte 59 des Anschlußteils 40 entsprechend einem Schnitt entlang der Linie VI-VI in Figur 5 und Figuren 7A bis 7D vier Ausführungsformen für Kontaktbuchsen 34 des Funktionsteils 30 entsprechend einem Schnitt entlang der Linie VII-VII in Figur 5 zeigen.Different ways of making electrical Connection between the two components 30, 40 are in the Figures 5 to 7 shown. 5 shows the electrical connection area with the electrical Connection elements 34, 59 in a schematic representation, while Figures 6A to 6C three embodiments for Contact pins 59 of the connector 40 corresponding to one Section along the line VI-VI in Figure 5 and Figure 7A to 7D four embodiments for contact sockets 34 of the Functional part 30 corresponding to a section along the Show line VII-VII in Figure 5.

Die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 59 des Anschlußteils 40 sind also gemäß den Figuren 5 und 6 stiftförmig als Kontaktstifte 59 ausgeführt. An ihren Enden besitzen die Kontaktstifte 59 beispielsweise Einführschrägen 68, mit denen das Herstellen der elektrischen Verbindung mit den korrespondierenden Verbindungselementen 34 des Funktionsteils 30 erleichtert ist. Wie den Figuren 6A bis 6C entnehmbar ist, können die Querschnitte der Kontaktstifte 59 z.B. rechteckförmig (Figur 6A), weitgehend quadratisch (Figur 6B) oder kreisförmig (Figur 6C) sein.The electrical connecting elements 59 of the connecting part 40 5 are pin-shaped as in FIGS Contact pins 59 executed. They have at their ends Contact pins 59, for example insertion bevels 68, with those who establish the electrical connection with the corresponding connecting elements 34 of the Functional part 30 is facilitated. Like Figures 6A to 6C can be removed, the cross sections of the contact pins 59 e.g. rectangular (Figure 6A), largely square (Figure 6B) or circular (Figure 6C).

Da in dem in Figur 5 dargestellten Fall das Verbindungselement 59 stiftförmig ausgeführt ist, ist es zweckmäßig das korrespondierende Verbindungselement 34 buchsenförmig auszubilden, um eine sichere und zuverlässige elektrische Verbindung zu realisieren. In Figur 7 sind Beispiele für buchsenartige, ösenartige, klammerartige, kabelschuhförmige, aber auch stiftförmige Verbindungselemente 34 dargestellt. Dabei weisen die der Magnetspule 1 abgewandten Enden der Verbindungselemente 34 ebenfalls Einführschrägen 68' auf. Figur 7A zeigt einen konventionellen Kabelschuh 70, der klammerartig einen Kontaktstift 59 umgreifen kann. Zur Aufnahme verschieden großer Kontaktstifte 59 kann der Kabelschuh 70 elastisch ausgeführt sein. Figur 7B zeigt einen Doppel-Kabelschuh 71, der für zwei verschiedene Kontaktstiftarten 59 verwendet werden kann. Figuren 7C und 7D zeigen zwei Varianten eines Profil-Verbindungselements 34, wobei das Verbindungselement 34 gemäß Figur 7C als ein L-Profil-Pin 72 und das Verbindungselement 34 gemäß Figur 7D als ein Flachprofil-Pin 73 ausgeführt sind. Die beiden letztgenannten Varianten umschließen dabei die zu kontaktierenden Kontaktstifte 59 nicht, es erfolgt vielmehr ein Kontakt durch straffes Anliegen. Nach dem Herstellen der elektrischen Verbindung kann die Fixierung auch durch einen zusätzlichen Schweißpunkt unterstützt werden, bevor die Umspritzung 60 angebracht wird.Since in the case shown in FIG Connecting element 59 is designed pin-shaped, it is expediently the corresponding connecting element 34 Form bush-shaped to ensure safe and reliable to realize electrical connection. In Figure 7 are Examples of socket-like, eye-like, bracket-like, cable shoe-shaped, but also pin-shaped Connection elements 34 shown. The show the Magnetic coil 1 ends of the connecting elements 34 facing away also bevels 68 '. Figure 7A shows one conventional cable lug 70, the one like a clamp Can reach around pin 59. Different for inclusion Large contact pins 59, the cable lug 70 can be elastic be executed. FIG. 7B shows a double cable lug 71, which is used for two different contact pin types 59 can be. FIGS. 7C and 7D show two variants of one Profile connector 34, the connector 34 according to FIG. 7C as an L-profile pin 72 and that Connecting element 34 according to FIG. 7D as a flat profile pin 73 are executed. The latter two variants enclose the contact pins 59 to be contacted not, there is rather a contact through tight Issue. After making the electrical connection can also be fixed by an additional Spot welds are supported before overmolding 60 is attached.

Selbstverständlich ist es jedoch auch möglich, die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 34 am Funktionsteil 30 in Stiftform vorzusehen, während dann die elektrischen Verbindungselemente 59 des Anschlußteils 40 eher buchsenartig, ösenartig oder kabelschuhförmig ausgeführt wären. Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, jeweils ein steckerähnliches und buchsenähnliches Verbindungselement 34, 59 am Funktionsteil 30 und am Anschlußteil 40 auszubilden, die dann wechselseitig miteinander zusammenwirken. Eine elektrische Kontaktierung kann aber ebenso beispielsweise mit der CIN::APSE®-Technologie erzielt werden, bei der mit Gold beschichtete Molybdändrähte als Knopfkontakt knäuelartig ausgebildet sind. Diese lötfreie Verbindungstechnologie erlaubt das Herstellen von sehr zuverlässigen elektrischen Verbindungen, die mechanisch vollkommen resonanzfrei sind.Of course, it is also possible that electrical connecting elements 34 on the functional part 30 in Provide pin shape while the electrical Connecting elements 59 of the connecting part 40 rather Bush-like, loop-like or cable lug-shaped would. Another option is one at a time plug-like and socket-like connecting element 34, 59 on the functional part 30 and on the connecting part 40, which then interact with each other. A Electrical contacting can also be used, for example can be achieved with the CIN :: APSE® technology, with the Gold-coated molybdenum wires as a button contact are formed like a ball. This solderless Connection technology allows the very manufacturing reliable electrical connections that are mechanical are completely free of resonance.

Figur 8 zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel eines Anschlußteils 40. Die gegenüber dem in Figur 1 bzw. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel gleichbleibenden bzw. gleichwirkenden Bauteile sind dabei durch die gleichen Bezugszeichen gekennzeichnet.Figure 8 shows a second embodiment of a Connection part 40. The opposite to that in Figure 1 or 2nd illustrated embodiment constant or components with the same effect are the same Reference numbers marked.

Im Vergleich zum Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 2 ist das Anschlußteil 40 nach Figur 8 besonders im Bereich des Endbereichs 47 verändert ausgebildet. Zum Beispiel ist an der Stirnfläche 58 eine Stufe 76 vorgesehen, die als Führungsbund für die mit einer Strichlinie angedeutete Ventilhülse 6 des Funktionsteils 30 dient. Mit einem oberen Hülsenabschnitt umgibt die Ventilhülse 6 z.B. anliegend die Stufe 76 im zusammengebauten Zustand des Ventils. Außerdem steht von der Stirnfläche 58 ausgehend in Richtung zum Funktionsteil 30 wenigstens ein Segment 77 aus dem Anschlußteil 40 heraus. Das wenigstens eine Segment 77 weist dabei eine kreisbogenförmige Gestalt auf und ist in radialer Richtung betrachtet beabstandet von der Stufe 76 ausgeformt, jedoch nicht unmittelbar am äußeren Umfang des Anschlußteils 40, an dem die mit einer Strich-Zweipunkt-Linie angedeutete Umspritzung 60 abschließt.In comparison to the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, this is Connection part 40 of Figure 8 especially in the area of End region 47 is formed modified. For example, is on the end face 58 a step 76 is provided, which as Guide covenant for those indicated with a dashed line Valve sleeve 6 of the functional part 30 is used. With an upper Sleeve section surrounds the valve sleeve 6 e.g. attached to the Stage 76 in the assembled state of the valve. Moreover stands from the end face 58 in the direction of Functional part 30 at least one segment 77 from the Connection part 40 out. The at least one segment 77 has thereby has an arcuate shape and is radial Viewed in the direction formed at a distance from the step 76, but not directly on the outer periphery of the connector 40, on which the one indicated with a dash-two-dot line Overmolding 60 completes.

In Figur 9 ist in Richtung des Pfeils IX eine Unteransicht auf das Anschlußteil 40 gemäß Figur 8 dargestellt. Dabei ist zu erkennen, daß an dem Anschlußteil 40 drei Segmente 77 vorgesehen sind, die allesamt kreisbogenförmig gestaltet sind, aber beispielsweise unterschiedliche Erstreckungslängen in Umfangsrichtung aufweisen. Aufgrund der Kontaktstifte 59 kann dies erforderlich sein. Die Segmente 77 besitzen nur einen geringen Abstand zueinander. In Figure 9 is a bottom view in the direction of arrow IX shown on the connecting part 40 according to Figure 8. It is to recognize that on the connecting part 40 three segments 77th are provided, all of which are designed in the shape of a circular arc are different, for example Have extension lengths in the circumferential direction. by virtue of the contact pins 59 this may be necessary. The Segments 77 are only a short distance apart.

In axialer Richtung gesehen stehen die Segmente 77 z.B. noch geringfügig über den mittleren Endbereich 47 hinaus.Seen in the axial direction, the segments 77 are e.g. yet slightly beyond the central end region 47.

Vom Anschlußteil 40 erstrecken sich also mehrere Segmente 77 axial in den Raum der zur festen Verbindung von Anschlußteil 40 und Funktionsteil 30 benötigten Umspritzung 60. Durch die Segmente 77 wird das Volumen des Umspritzungsbereichs um ca. 30% und die maximale Wandstärke der Umspritzung 60 um ca. 50% gegenüber der in Figur 1 gezeigten Umspritzung 60 reduziert. In Figur 8 ist angedeutet, daß sich durch die Segmente 77 ein innerer Umspritzungsbereich 60a und ein äußerer Umspritzungsbereich 60b ergeben, die beim Umspritzen mit Kunststoff gefüllt werden, wobei die beiden dann entstandenen Umspritzungsabschnitte durch Kunststoff zwischen den Segmenten 77 bzw. unterhalb der Segmente 77 miteinander verbunden sind. Auf diese Weise liegen die Segmente 77 nach dem Umspritzen eingebettet in der Umspritzung 60 vor. Die Segmente 77 sind so angeordnet, daß Masseanhäufungen innerhalb der Umspritzung 60 entfallen und die Wandstärken gleichmäßig ausfallen. Des weiteren ist es vorteilhaft, die Segmente 77 so anzuordnen, daß beim Umspritzvorgang eine starke Verwirbelung des fließenden Kunststoffs stattfindet.Several segments 77 thus extend from the connecting part 40 axially in the space for the fixed connection of the connecting part 40 and functional part 30 required extrusion 60. By Segments 77 the volume of the extrusion coating area is increased by approx. 30% and the maximum wall thickness of the extrusion coating 60 by approx. 50% compared to the extrusion coating 60 shown in FIG. 1 reduced. In Figure 8 it is indicated that the Segments 77 an inner overmold area 60a and Outer overmold area 60b result from the overmolding be filled with plastic, the two then extrusion sections created by plastic between the segments 77 or below the segments 77 are interconnected. In this way, the Segments 77 embedded after molding Overmolding 60 before. The segments 77 are arranged such that Mass accumulations within the extrusion coating 60 are eliminated and the wall thicknesses are even. Furthermore, it is advantageous to arrange the segments 77 so that when Overmolding a strong swirling of the flowing Plastic takes place.

Figur 10 zeigt in einer Unteransicht ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel eines Anschlußteils 40. Auch hier sind drei in die spätere Umspritzung 60 hineinragende Segmente 77 vorgesehen, wobei ein kleines Segment 77 zwischen den beiden Kontaktstiften 59 angeordnet ist und sich die beiden anderen Segmente 77 kreisbogenförmig jeweils über ca. 120° erstrecken.Figure 10 shows another in a bottom view Embodiment of a connector 40. Here too three segments 77 projecting into the later extrusion coating 60 provided with a small segment 77 between the two Contact pins 59 is arranged and the other two Segments 77 in the shape of a circular arc, each over approximately 120 ° extend.

Alle beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele der Brennstoffeinspritzventile besitzen den Vorteil einer kostengünstigen Herstellbarkeit mit sehr vielen Bauformvarianten. In einer großen Stückzahl weitgehend baugleich gefertigte Funktionsteile 30 können mit sehr vielen verschiedenen Anschlußteilen 40, die sich beispielsweise in der Größe, in der Ausgestaltung des elektrischen Anschlußsteckers 56 usw. unterscheiden, verbunden werden. Die Logistik bei der Herstellung von Brennstoffeinspritzventilen wird somit grundsätzlich vereinfacht.All described embodiments of the Fuel injectors have the advantage of one inexpensive to manufacture with a great many Design variants. Largely in large numbers identically manufactured functional parts 30 can with very many different connecting parts 40 that are for example in size, in the design of the electrical connector 56, etc. differentiate, get connected. The logistics in the manufacture of Fuel injectors are therefore fundamentally simplified.
