Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injection device according to the preamble of the main claim, such. shown in the document DE 34 11 539.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a structurally simple fuel injection device that brings a more efficient and thus more environmentally friendly fuel utilization by increasing the injection pressure at the injectors.
- the solenoid valves are arranged separately from the injectors in the injection lines and the injectors are formed as injection nozzles, for which in particular proven injection nozzles can be used, which e.g. are known from fuel injection systems with conventional distributor injection pumps, also known from these known distributor injection pump systems known pressure increasing mechanisms can be used to significantly increase the injection pressure in the injectors with respect to the pressure in the common rail (common rail) located pressure.
- Another advantage is that proven injectors can be replaced with the less well-controlled injectors with integrated solenoid valve, which are far superior in terms of controllability, price and fürflußkonstanz over their lifetime and in their availability.
- the solenoid valves are arranged directly on the common high-pressure line (common rail), so that no separate supply lines to the solenoid valves are required and these can be fastened to the engine together with the common rail.
- injection nozzles may preferably be used with one or two spring-holder technology, which have a significant price advantage over the known injectors.
- such a nozzle can be equipped with a needle movement sensor or a Nadelhubgeber.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a fuel injection device with solenoid valves arranged on the common rail for controlling the flow to the individual injection nozzles.
- the fuel injection device consists of a common high pressure line 1 (common rail), which is filled by means of a high-pressure pump 2 from a tank 9 with fuel under high pressure (about 1350 bar). From the high-pressure line 1, the number of cylinders to be supplied leads correspondingly to a plurality of injection lines 4, which each lead to an injection nozzle 5 projecting into a cylinder combustion chamber of the engine 6. For controlling the high-pressure fuel supply to the injection nozzles 5, a solenoid valve 3 is furthermore inserted into the injection lines 4, away from the injection nozzles 5, preferably directly on the high-pressure line 1.
- the geometry of the injection lines 4 between the solenoid valve 3 and the injection nozzle 5 is predetermined in length, diameter and spatial displacement in the engine compartment so that a large part of the injection pressure at the injection nozzle 5 by reflections of fuel pressure waves between the solenoid valve 3 and the injection nozzle 5 is generated during the sudden influx of fuel into the injection line 4 via the solenoid valve 3.
Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches, wie z.B. in dem Dokument DE 34 11 539 dargestellt.The invention relates to a fuel injection device according to the preamble of the main claim, such. shown in the document DE 34 11 539.
Es sind Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtungen für Verbrennungskraftmaschinen mit einer gemeinsamen Hochdruckleitung, dem sogenannten Common-Rail bekannt, DE 195 48 279 A 1, die Injektoren zum Einspritzen des Kraftstoffes in die Zylinder von Verbrennungskraftmaschinen besitzen, wobei der Einspritzvorgang von Magnetventilen gesteuert wird, die jeweils als Bestandteil eines Injektors ausgebildet sind. Dabei führen von der mittels einer Kraftstoffhochdruckpumpe befüllbaren gemeinsamen Hochdruckleitung sämtliche Einspritzleitungen zu den einzelnen Injektoren ab, wobei die Hochdruckleitung dabei als Kraftstoffsammelraum wirkt.There are known fuel injectors for internal combustion engines with a common high-pressure line, the so-called common rail, DE 195 48 279
Nachteilig an diesen bekannten Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen sind zum einen die unbefriedigende Beherrschbarkeit der Injektoren sowie die damit erzielbaren Spitzeneinspritzdrücke, die weit unter denen von anderen bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzsystemen wie z.B. den Pumpe-Düse-Systemen liegen, welche bis zu 2.000 bar Einspritzdruck erreichen. Diese Nachteile begrenzen die spezifische Leistung eines Motors und besonders die akkurate Steuerung der Einspritzung und der Voreinspritzung. Ebenso stellt die Konstanz der Einspritzmengen über die Lebensdauer einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine ein großes Problem dar. Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Einspritzventile mit integrierter Magnetventilsteuerung ist deren sehr komplizierter Aufbau, durch den diese Einspritzventile (Injektoren) in der Herstellung sehr teuer und zudem sehr störanfällig werden.Disadvantages of these known common-rail injection systems are, on the one hand, the unsatisfactory controllability of the injectors and the peak injection pressures that can be achieved with them, which are far below those of other known fuel injection systems, such as, for example. the pump-nozzle systems, which reach up to 2,000 bar injection pressure. These disadvantages limit the specific performance of an engine and, in particular, the accurate control of injection and pilot injection. Likewise, the constancy of the injection quantities over the life of an internal combustion engine is a major problem. Another disadvantage of the known injection valves with integrated solenoid valve control is their very complicated structure, through which these injection valves (injectors) are very expensive to manufacture and also very prone to failure.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine konstruktiv einfache Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung zur Verfügung zu stellen, die durch eine Steigerung des Einspritzdruckes an den Injektoren eine effizientere und damit umweltschonendere Kraftstoffausnutzung mit sich bringt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a structurally simple fuel injection device that brings a more efficient and thus more environmentally friendly fuel utilization by increasing the injection pressure at the injectors.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ergibt sich mit den Oberbegriffsmerkmalen erfindungsgemäß durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruches angegebene technische Lehre.The solution to this problem arises with the preamble features according to the invention by the technical teaching specified in the characterizing part of the main claim.
Dadurch, daß die Magnetventile getrennt von den Injektoren in den Einspritzleitungen angeordnet sind und die Injektoren als Einspritzdüsen ausgebildet sind, für die insbesondere bewährte Einspritzdüsen verwendet werden können, welche z.B. aus Kraftstoffeinspritzsystemen mit herkömmlichen Verteiler-Einspritzpumpen bekannt sind, lassen sich auch die aus diesen bekannten Verteiler-Einspritzpumpem-Systemen bekannten Druckerhöhungsmechanismen nutzen, um den Einspritzdruck in den Einspritzdüsen gegenüber dem in der gemeinsamen Hochdruckleitung (Common-Rail) befindlich Druck deutlich zu überhöhen.Characterized in that the solenoid valves are arranged separately from the injectors in the injection lines and the injectors are formed as injection nozzles, for which in particular proven injection nozzles can be used, which e.g. are known from fuel injection systems with conventional distributor injection pumps, also known from these known distributor injection pump systems known pressure increasing mechanisms can be used to significantly increase the injection pressure in the injectors with respect to the pressure in the common rail (common rail) located pressure.
Um eine solche Drucksteigerung zu erreichen sind demnach außer der Abstimmung der Geometrie der Einspritzleitungen auf die auftretenden Druckschwingungen in den Flüssigkeitssäulen des Kraftstoffes zwischen den Magnetventilen und den zugehörigen Einspritzdüsen keine weiteren technischen Maßnahmen erforderlich.In order to achieve such a pressure increase are therefore beyond the vote of the geometry of the injection lines on the pressure oscillations occurring in the liquid columns of the fuel between the solenoid valves and the associated injectors no further technical measures required.
Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß bewährte Einspritzdüsen gegen die weniger gut zu beherrschenden Injektoren mit integriertem Magnetventil ausgetauscht werden können, die diesen in der Beherrschbarkeit, Preis und Durchflußkonstanz über ihre Lebensdauer sowie in Ihrer Verfügbarkeit weit überlegen sind.Another advantage is that proven injectors can be replaced with the less well-controlled injectors with integrated solenoid valve, which are far superior in terms of controllability, price and Durchflußkonstanz over their lifetime and in their availability.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen des Gegenstandes der Erfindung ergeben sich aus und in Kombination mit den weiteren Unteransprüchen.Further preferred embodiments of the subject matter of the invention emerge from and in combination with the further subclaims.
Gemäß einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Magnetventile unmittelbar an der gemeinsamen Hochdruckleitung (Common-Rail) angeordnet, so daß keine separaten Zuleitungen zu den Magnetventilen erforderlich sind und diese gemeinsam mit dem Common-Rail am Motor befestigbar sind.According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the solenoid valves are arranged directly on the common high-pressure line (common rail), so that no separate supply lines to the solenoid valves are required and these can be fastened to the engine together with the common rail.
Als Einspritzdüsen können bevorzugt solche mit Ein- oder Zweifeder-Haltertechnik verwendet werden, die gegenüber den bekannten Injektoren einen bedeutenden Preisvorteil besitzen. Zusätzlich kann eine solche Düse mit einem Nadelbewegungsfühler oder einem Nadelhubgeber ausgestattet sein.As injection nozzles may preferably be used with one or two spring-holder technology, which have a significant price advantage over the known injectors. In addition, such a nozzle can be equipped with a needle movement sensor or a Nadelhubgeber.
Mit der vorliegenden Erfindung, lassen sich somit ohne weitere technische Maßnahmen in konstruktiv einfacher Weise Drucksteigerungen erzielen, mit denen Spitzendrücke erreichbar sind, die bei Vermeidung dessen begrenzten Flexibilität bei der Voreinspritzung denen eines Pumpe-Düse-Systems vergleichbar sind.With the present invention, can thus be achieved without further technical measures in a structurally simple manner pressure increases, which peak pressures can be achieved, which are comparable to a pump-nozzle system while avoiding its limited flexibility in the pilot injection.
Nachfolgend wird eine solche erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung anhand einer Zeichnung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt die Figur 1 eine schematische Darstellung einer Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung mit am Common Rail angeordneten Magnetventilen zur Steuerung des Durchflusses zu den einzelnen Einspritzdüsen.Hereinafter, such a fuel injection device according to the invention will be described with reference to a drawing. 1 shows a schematic representation of a fuel injection device with solenoid valves arranged on the common rail for controlling the flow to the individual injection nozzles.

Die Geometrie der Einspritzleitungen 4 zwischen dem Magnetventil 3 und der Einspritzdüse 5 ist dabei in Länge, Durchmesser und räumlicher Verlegung im Motorraum so vorherbestimmt, daß ein großer Teil des Einspritzdruckes an der Einspritzdüse 5 durch Reflexionen von Kraftstoff-Druckwellen zwischen dem Magnetventil 3 und der Einspritzdüse 5 beim schlagartigen Einströmen von Kraftstoff in die Einspritzleitung 4 über das Magnetventil 3 erzeugt wird.The geometry of the
