Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector with an integrated spark plug according to the preamble of the main claim.
- the fuel injector with an integrated spark plug is used to inject fuel directly into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine and to ignite the fuel injected into the combustion chamber.
- the compact integration of a fuel injector with a spark plug saves installation space on the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine.
- the known fuel injection valve with an integrated spark plug has a valve body which, together with a valve closing body which can be actuated by means of a valve needle, forms a sealing seat, to which an injection opening opening on an end face of the valve body facing the combustion chamber is connected.
- the valve body is insulated with high voltage resistance by a ceramic insulation body from a housing body that can be screwed into the cylinder head of the pulp engine.
- a ground electrode is located on the housing body in order to form a counter potential to the valve body to which high voltage is applied. When a sufficient high voltage is applied to the valve body, a sparkover occurs between the valve body and the ground electrode connected to the housing body.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with an integrated spark plug with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the position of the sparkover with respect to the position of the spray opening is reproducible and clearly defined. This ensures reliable ignition of the sprayed fuel jet.
- the position of the flashover and thus the ignition point can be placed in the area of the sprayed fuel jet with the least cyclical jet fluctuations. The point in time at which the fuel jet ignites therefore exhibits extremely small fluctuations from one injection cycle to the next.
- By positioning the flashover or the ignition point in the vicinity of the spray opening sooting and coking of the spray opening are counteracted and thus a change in the jet geometry caused thereby is counteracted.
- the edge for determining the position of the sparkover can be provided either on the end face of the valve body or on the ignition electrodes.
- the edge can be formed on the end face of the valve body by an elevation or depression. It is advantageous if the valve body has an embossed flank area on the elevation in order to direct the air flow specifically to the ignition point.
- One or more pin-like ignition electrodes can be attached to the housing body in such a way that they are inclined at a predetermined angle of inclination in the direction of the end face of the valve body.
- An edge of the ignition electrodes forms the point with the smallest distance from the end face of the valve body and thus defines the ignition point. If the edge defining the ignition point is formed on the end face of the valve body, a simple ignition electrode can also be used wire spanning the end face of the valve body are used, which represents a particularly inexpensive embodiment.
- the ignition electrode can be designed in a ring shape and have an opening for the fuel jet sprayed off from the spray opening.
- the edge defining the ignition point is formed at the opening of the ring-shaped ignition electrode.
- the opening of the ring-shaped ignition electrode widens conically in the spray direction of the fuel jet, the opening angle of the ignition electrode being advantageously adapted to the opening angle of the fuel jet.
- a design of the support for the ignition electrode with radially distributed rod-shaped projections and radially arranged pins guided radially to the projections ensures a sufficient radial flow of the combustion air and supports the reliable ignition of the fuel jet.

- the valve needle 9 and the valve closing body 10 are formed in one piece.
- the valve closing body 10 When the valve closing body 10 is lifted off the valve seat surface of the valve body 7, the valve closing body 10 opens an outlet opening 12 formed in the valve body 7, so that a conical fuel jet 13 is sprayed off.

- the guide sections 9a and 9b are connected to the insulation section 9c not only in a force-locking manner but also in a form-fitting manner.
- the guide sections 9a and 9b each have a pin 21 and 22, respectively, which is guided into a recess in the insulation section 9c designed as a bore 23.
- the connection between the pins 21 and 22 of the guide sections 9a and 9b is preferably made by a frictional connection, by gluing or shrinking on.
- the insulation section 9c is preferably sleeve-shaped. The material saved compared to a solid body results in a weight saving, which leads to shorter switching times of the fuel injection valve 1.

- a connection abel 26 is used to energize the solenoid 25 .

- the adjusting sleeve 36 is used to adjust the bias of a return spring 37 which acts on the armature 24 in the closing direction.
- a locking sleeve 38 serves to secure the setting of the adjustment sleeve 36.
- the fuel continues to flow through a longitudinal bore 39 in the second guide section 9b of the valve needle 9 and enters an cavity 40 of the insulating body 6 at an axial recess 40. From there, the fuel flows into a longitudinal bore 42 of the valve body 7, in which the valve needle 9 also extends, and finally reaches the swirl groove 14a already described on the outer circumference of the swirl insert 14.
- the ignition electrodes 70a connected to the housing body 2 have a ground potential, while the valve body 7 can be acted upon with a high voltage potential for generating ignition sparks.

- the insulation body 6 can be manufactured inexpensively as a molded ceramic part.
- the valve body 7 and the insulation body 6 can be screwed and glued with a mounting mandrel in order to compensate for misalignments in the guide of the valve needle 9.
- the spatially close arrangement of the erosion resistor 57 to the ignition electrodes 70a reduces the erosion at the ignition electrodes 7a and, in spite of an increased electrical capacity, allows the fuel injector with an integrated spark plug 1 to be completely metal-coated by the metallic housing bodies 2, 4 and 5.

Due to the edge-shaped design, there is an increased electric field strength at this point, which causes the plasma discharge of the ignition spark.
- the 74 determined ignition point is therefore reproducible from injection cycle to injection cycle.
- the most favorable position of the ignition point can be optimized by tests and lies in the area of the so-called jet root of the fuel jet 13 sprayed from the outlet opening 12.

- a connecting pin 93 is assigned to each projection 78.
- the projections 78 and the connecting pins 93 are relatively narrow, so that relatively large gaps remain between the projections 78 and the connecting pins 93, through which the combustion air can flow unhindered to the mouth of the outlet opening 12 and to the ignition point defined by the peripheral edge 92 .
- An unimpeded inflow of the combustion air is essential for a safe ignition of the fuel jet 13 and a low soot and coking at the mouth of the outlet opening 12.
- Fig. 5 shows a section through the injection-side end of a fuel injector with inte rie ⁇ er spark plug 1 according to a fourth embodiment. Elements that have already been described are also provided with the same reference numerals here. The difference from the exemplary embodiment already described with reference to FIG. 4 essentially consists in the fact that the ring-shaped ignition electrode 70c has a chamfered section 96, to which the connecting pins 93 connect in an alignment line. This will make edges at the transition between pins 93 and the ring-shaped ignition electrode 70c are avoided, so that no increased field strength occurs at these points, which could lead to a parasitic ignition point.
