Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1.
- DE 196 26 576 A1 already discloses a fuel injector known according to the preamble of claim 1.
- This fuel injector has a valve closing body, the one with a valve seat support Valve seat surface interacts to form a sealing seat.
- the Valve closing body is located on the inside of the Valve seat carrier extending valve needle and one with the Valve needle on the opposite of the valve closing body Anchor connected at the end by means of a magnetic coil can be operated electromagnetically.
- the valve seat support is in used a housing body and by means of a Housing body screwed threaded ring against a stroke adjusting disc preloadable between the housing body and the valve seat carrier is inserted. The stroke adjustment disc is therefore located inside the housing body.
- the stroke adjusting disc serves the stroke of the valve closing body in the electromagnetic actuation of the Adjust fuel injector.
- a variation of the Thickness dimension of the stroke adjustment disc leads to a Variation of the axial position of the valve seat surface. At a certain length of the valve needle and a certain position One stop surface for the armature is the valve lift established.
- FIG. 1 A known fuel injector of a similar design is shown in Fig. 1 and will be detailed later described.
- This design corresponds to the arrangement the stroke adjuster of those of DE 196 26 576 A1 with the difference that the valve seat support with the valve housing not through a threaded ring but is connected by a flare connection. Also this fuel injector are liable for those already described Disadvantages.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that the Stroke adjustment disc due to the peripheral outside Arrangement compared to the housing body simple and inexpensive is mountable. At the same time, there is the advantage that the valve seat support against the housing body through the stroke adjusting disc due to the relatively large diameter the stroke adjusting disc against tilting is secured.
- the stroke adjusting disc is preferably in a rotating one Groove of the housing body can be used and lies on an inlet side End face on the housing body and on one spray-side end face on a peripheral circumferential Protrusion of the valve seat body.
- the connection between the housing body and the stroke adjusting disc on the one hand and between the stroke adjusting disc with the valve seat support on the other hand, a weld seam can then be used respectively.
- the stroke adjuster not only has that Function, the axial position of the valve seat carrier opposite to determine the housing body and thus the valve stroke, but also the function of a connecting element between the housing body and the valve seat carrier.
- the weld seams is preferably a weld shrink tension caused the housing body, the stroke adjustment and biases the valve seat body against each other. Thereby the strength is particularly high.
- valve seat body into an injection-side end of the housing body
- these components using a seal are sealed against each other.
- This has the advantage that the pressure of that in the fuel injector Fuel not up to the whore shim and Penetrates welds and therefore no strain on the Welds occur due to fuel pressure.
- the connection between the valve housing and the valve seat support and the stroke setting are therefore largely independent from the fuel pressure.
- FIG. 1 for a better understanding of the invention Fuel injector according to the prior art, so that the later description of the invention Embodiment on the invention Can restrict special features. That in Fig. 1 Fuel injector shown is used for injection of fuel, especially with a mixture compressing spark ignition internal combustion engine.
- the fuel injector generally designated by the reference number 1 has a valve closing body 2, the with a valve seat surface formed on a valve seat body 3 4 interacts to form a sealing seat.
- the valve closing body 2 is via a valve needle 5 with an anchor 6 connected.
- the armature 6 is connected by means of a magnetic coil 7 an axial force component so acted that the Valve closing body 2 lifts off the valve seat surface 4 and a spray opening 8 releases.
- After switching off the Solenoid 7 exciting electrical excitation current is the valve closing body 2 by one acting on the armature 6
- Return spring 9 back into its closed position recycled.
- the bias of the return spring 9 is over one by means of a thread with a first housing body 11 connected adjusting sleeve 10 adjustable.
- the fuel flows through a fuel inlet opening 12 and a fuel filter 13 in an axial longitudinal bore 14 of the first Housing body 11 and further via an axial longitudinal bore 15 of the adjusting sleeve 10 and a longitudinal bore 16 of the Armature 6 and a longitudinal bore 17 one even closer descriptive stroke adjusting disk 18 in a longitudinal bore 19 of the valve seat support 3 and thus arrives at that of the Valve closing body 2 formed with the valve seat surface 4 Sealing seat.
- the first housing body 11 is made of a plastic injection molded body 20 surround, on which also a connector 21 for the electrical connection of a connecting cable the solenoid 7 is molded.
- a second housing body 22 is provided, which with the first housing body 11 by a first crimp connection 23 is connected.
- the second housing body 22 has a longitudinal bore 24 into which the valve seat support 3 is inserted axially and opposite by means of a seal 25 the second housing body 22 is sealed.
- the valve seat support 3 and the second housing body 22 are by a second flange connection 30 connected together.
- the stroke adjustment plate 18 serves to determine the valve stroke, d. H. of the stroke of the valve closing body 2 from the Valve closing surface 4 in the actuated state of the fuel injector 1.
- the valve lift is by an in 1 not discernible slight gap between the upstream end face 28 of the armature 6 and one downstream end face 29 of the first housing body 11 established. This gap in turn results from the Length of the valve needle 5 and the armature 6, measured from the upstream end face 28 of the armature 6 to the Contact surface of the valve closing body 2 on the valve closing surface 4 of the valve seat support 3, and by the axial position of the valve seat body 3.
- valve lift is therefore on the manufacturing tolerances of numerous components depending, in particular on the manufacturing tolerance of the Valve closing body 4, the valve needle 5, the armature 6, the Valve seat support 3 and the two housing bodies 11 and 22. Because the sum of these manufacturing tolerances is significantly larger is considered to be the required tolerance of the valve lift according to a common procedure, the valve lift measure the determining dimensions of the above components and paired a suitable stroke adjustment disc. Doing so the thickness dimension of the stroke adjustment disc is selected in this way or manufactured so that the total required valve lift within a narrow tolerance window.
- the invention relates to an improvement in the arrangement and Forming the stroke adjusting disk 18.
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of an inventive Fuel injector 1 in an excerpt, cut illustration. Only those are shown Elements essential to the invention. Around The assignment is already made easier with reference to FIG. 1 described elements with matching reference numerals Mistake.
- the Valve stroke is through a gap 41 between the inlet side Face 28 of the armature 6 and a spray side End face 42 of a tubular portion 43 of the second housing body 22 set.
- the tubular Section 43 has a radially protruding outward Area 44 of the second housing body 22 over a thin Connecting web 45 connected.
- the connecting web 45 is dimensioned extremely thin to the main part of the lead magnetic flux through the armature 6 and a magnetic short circuit at the connecting web 45 avoid.
- the armature 6 has holes 46 for the passage of fuel on.
- the stroke adjusting disk 18 surrounds spray-side end 47 of the second housing body 22 peripheral outside.
- the stroke adjuster 18 is preferred ring-shaped.
- the stroke adjustment disc 18 is part of the valve housing and is in a circumferential groove 48 of the second housing body 22 used.
- the stroke adjusting disc 18 lies with a inlet end face 49 on an opposite, associated end face 50 of the second housing body 22 in the assembled condition.
- An end face on the spray side 51 of the stroke adjusting disk 18 lies on an opposite, associated end face 52 of the valve seat body 3 flush when assembled.
- the end 47 of the second housing body 22 is located preferably a radial tolerance gap 54.
- FIG. 1 An inlet-side end 55 of the valve seat body 3 is shown in FIG a receiving bore 56 of the spray-side end 47 of the second housing body 22 insertable, so that the Stroke adjuster 18 surrounded end 47 of the spray second housing body 22, the inlet end 55 of the Valve seat carrier 3 surrounds.
- the inlet end 55 of the valve seat carrier 3 to the spray-side end 47 of the second housing body 22 by means of the rotating Seal 25 sealed.
- Seal 25 is preferred formed as an 0-ring and in a radial groove 57 of inlet end 55 of the valve seat carrier 3 used.
- the stroke adjusting disk 18 is by means of a first one circumferential weld seam 58 on its inlet end face 49 with the second housing body 22 and by means of a second circumferential weld seam 59 on its spray-side End face 51 welded to the valve seat support 3.
- the Weld seams 58 and 59 are technically without Difficulties with a radially attacking from the outside Welding tool can be applied.
- the extend Welds 58 and 59 do not extend over the entire end face 49 and 50 or 51 and 52.
- the weld depth remains part of the flat end faces 49 and 50 on the one hand and 51 and 52 on the other hand received, so that an exact axial alignment of the valve seat support 3 with respect to the central axis 60 of the fuel injector 1 is conveyed by the stroke adjusting disk 18.
- the invention makes targeted use of the weld seams 58 and 59 generated welding shrinkage stress.
- the Welding shrink tension causes the second to be pre-tensioned Housing body 22, the stroke adjustment 18 and the valve seat support 3 against each other, so that a gap-free Weld seam and high strength can be achieved.
- the setting dial 18 without Difficulties in the circumferential groove 48 of the second Housing body 22 can be used and thus a Extremely easy-to-assemble design of the fuel injector 1 results.
