Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a piston-shaped valve member is guided axially displaceably in a guide bore in a valve body.
- the valve member has a conical valve sealing surface at its lower end on the combustion chamber side, with which it interacts with a stationary valve seat surface at the closed end of the guide bore.
- two downstream of the injection openings are arranged downstream of the valve seat surface and, starting from the closed end of the guide bore, open into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The fuel inflow to these injection openings is controlled by the sealing cross section between the valve seat surface and the valve sealing surface.
- Fuel injector has two guide areas with which it is slidably guided on the wall of the guide bore.
- a first upper guide area is provided at the end of the valve member facing away from the combustion chamber, which is above one Extends fuel pressure chamber, which is formed by a cross-sectional expansion of the guide bore and into which a high-pressure fuel inlet channel opens.
- the upper guide area also seals the pressure chamber from a spring chamber in which a valve spring acting on the valve member in the closing direction is accommodated.
- the valve member has a second lower guide area in a region facing the combustion chamber, which is designed as an annular collar with which the valve member interacts with a reduction in the diameter of the guide bore.
- the lower guide area which is designed as an annular collar, separates an annular gap formed between the valve member and the wall of the guide bore and extending from the pressure chamber from a lower pressure chamber located below and opening onto the valve seat surface when the fuel injection valve is closed.
- the collar of the lower guide area of the valve member emerges from the overlap with the
- a throttle passage cross section is provided between the annular gap and the pressure chamber below, when fuel injection valve is closed, that is to say when the valve member is in contact with the valve seat, via which fuel can flow into the pressure chamber below.
- this throttle cross section is designed as an annular throttle gap between the collar of the lower guide area and the reduction in diameter of the guide bore.
- this design of the throttle connection cross section between the annular gap and the pressure space below has the disadvantage in the known fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines that it is due to surface tolerances on the collar and on the
- the fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that the throttle connection cross section between the annular gap and the pressure chamber below it on the fuel injection valve can be produced easily and reproducibly with high accuracy.
- Such a throttle bore can be manufactured very precisely in terms of production technology, with little effort, in particular also very much small spreads can be reduced in series production. It is particularly advantageous that such a throttle bore, contrary to the prior art, is independent of fit tolerances between the valve member and the geometry of the guide bore.
- Throttle bore in the valve member consistently have the same throttle cross-section, but it is also possible to design the throttle bore in two or more stages, the smallest bore diameter then determining the throttle flow cross-section.
- This smallest throttle bore cross section can be provided at the inlet of the throttle bore, in its central region or at the outlet of the throttle bore (as shown in the exemplary embodiment).
- the design of the throttle bore as a two- or multi-stage bore has the advantage that a good flow can be achieved with sufficient throttling effect, the difference in diameter between the large and the smallest throttle diameter of the bore and the respective bore lengths between the larger bore part and throttle cross section in the design can easily set the desired throttling effect for each fuel injector type.
- a further advantage of the fuel injection valve according to the invention is provided by the provision of an annular groove at the transition between the annular collar forming the lower guide region and a subsequent region of the cross-section which is reduced Valve member reached.
- This annular groove has the advantage that the lower edge of the collar, which forms a control edge, is worked out with sharp edges, so that precise control can be achieved in cooperation with the corresponding paragraph of the guide bore.
- Fuel injector is provided by
- Recesses formed on the surface after the annular collar has emerged from the bore shoulder area allow a better unimpeded overflow from the annular gap into the pressure space below, so that the fuel under high pressure can flow from the fuel inlet channel via the annular gap and the pressure space below as evenly as possible to the injection openings.
- Fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines is shown in the drawing and is explained in more detail below.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged detail from FIG. 1 in the area of the combustion chamber facing the invention Valve body with the representation of the geometry of the valve member guided therein at the end facing the combustion chamber.
- the exemplary embodiment of the fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the invention shown in a simplified section in FIG. 1 has a valve body 1, which projects with its lower free end into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to be supplied in a manner not shown in detail, and with its upper end facing away from the combustion chamber a valve holding body, also not shown, is clamped.
- the valve body 1 has an axial end extending from its upper end face 3
- a piston-shaped valve member 7 is guided axially displaceably, which has at its lower end on the combustion chamber side a conical valve sealing surface 9, with which it is connected to the closed end of the
- valve seat surface 11 cooperates.
- An injection opening 13 leads from this valve seat surface 11 downstream of the sealing cross section formed between the line of contact between valve seat surface 11 and valve sealing surface 9, which opens into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine to be supplied.
- the exemplary embodiment has only one injection opening, but it is alternatively also possible to provide a plurality of injection openings, wherein these can alternatively lead away from the blind hole of the guide bore 5 formed below the valve member 7.
- the piston-shaped valve member 7 has two guide areas with which it is slidably guided on the wall of the guide bore 5.
- a first top Guide region 15 is provided on the end of the valve member 7 facing away from the combustion chamber, which is guided in an upper region of the guide bore 5 facing away from the combustion chamber.
- the upper guide region 15 of the valve member 7 merges via a shoulder forming a pressure shoulder 17 into a valve member shaft part 19 with a reduced diameter.
- the pressure shoulder 17 is arranged in an overhead pressure chamber 21, which is formed by a cross-sectional expansion of the guide bore 5 and into which a high-pressure fuel supply channel 23 opens.
- This high-pressure fuel supply channel 23 is connected in a manner not shown to a high-pressure injection line which, on the other hand, leads away from a high-pressure fuel pump, via which fuel is fed from a storage tank under high pressure to the individual fuel injection valves.
- a second lower guide area at the end of the valve member 7 close to the combustion chamber is designed as an annular collar 25, which with its cylindrical outer wall surface matches the wall of a
- the annular collar 25, as shown enlarged in FIG. 2, forms a control edge 33 with its lower boundary edge facing the combustion chamber, with which it cooperates with a bore shoulder edge 35 of the bore shoulder 27 facing away from the combustion chamber.
- control edge 33 and bore shoulder edge 35 are arranged so that the Control edge 33 on the annular collar 25 of the valve member 7, when the opening stroke movement is directed upward, passes over the upper bore shoulder edge 35 and thus releases a flow cross-section between the annular gap 29 and the lower pressure chamber 31.
- the valve member 7 has an annular groove 37 for a more precise working out of the control edge 33 on the annular collar 25 between the transition of the annular collar 25 to the valve member shaft in the pressure chamber 31 below. Furthermore, recesses in the form of surface grindings 39 are worked into the valve member 7 in the area of the pressure chamber 31 below, by means of which the flow cross-section in this area is increased again.
- a throttle bore 41 is provided in the valve member 7 for the fuel filling of the pressure chamber 31 located below when the valve member 7 abuts the valve seat surface 11.
- the throttle bore 41 is arranged obliquely such that its inlet opening in the annular gap 29 and its outlet opening in the pressure chamber 31 below.
- the throttle bore 41 is designed as a two-stage bore, with the larger bore section opening into the annular gap 29 and the smaller bore section opening into the pressure chamber 31 below. The throttling effect when fuel passes can be adjusted in a simple manner via the small, throttling diameter and its arrangement within the throttle bore 41.
- the fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines works in the following manner.
- a valve spring 45 holds the valve member 15 with its valve sealing surface 9 in contact with the valve seat surface 11 via a valve plate 43, see above that a flow cross-section to the injection opening 13 is closed.
- the annular collar 25 on the valve member 7 is immersed in the bore shoulder 27 and thus separates the pressure space 31 located below from the annular gap 29, which on the other hand opens into the pressure space 21 located above.
- the standing pressure of the fuel present in the high-pressure fuel supply channel 23, in the overhead pressure chamber 21 and in the annular gap 29 is also built up in the lower pressure chamber 31 via the throttle bore 41.
- the high-pressure fuel injection at the injection valve is initiated by supplying fuel under high pressure from the injection pump via the high-pressure fuel supply channel 23 into the pressure chamber 21 located above.
- the high-pressure fuel acting on the pressure shoulder 17 in the opening direction now displaces the valve member 7 against the closing force of the valve spring 45 in the opening stroke direction.
- the valve sealing surface 9 lifts off the valve seat 11 and releases the flow cross-section to the injection opening 13, so that the fuel present in the pressure chamber 31 below is injected via the injection opening 13 into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- the fuel pressure in the pressure chamber 31 below collapses very quickly because the injection cross section at the
- Injection opening 13 is formed larger than the smallest diameter of the throttle bore 41.
- this first opening stroke phase of the valve member 7 more fuel therefore flows through the injection opening 13 out of the pressure chamber 31 below than can flow through the throttle bore 41 into it.
- a pressure drop is now established on the annular collar 25, as a result of which the high fuel pressure present in the annular gap 29 applies an additional closing force to the cross-sectional transition to the annular collar 25.
- the opening stroke movement of the valve member is braked until the high fuel pressure that builds up further in the pressure chamber 21 is sufficient to overcome this additional closing force and to move the valve member 7 further up to its opening stroke stop.
- the collar 25 now emerges from the overlap with the bore shoulder 27 and thus releases an unrestricted overflow cross section between the annular gap 29 and the pressure chamber 31 below, so that the
- High-pressure fuel injection is continued at the injection opening 13 of the fuel injection valve.
- the point in time at which this cross-section of the connection is opened is determined by passing over the control edge 33 on the annular collar 25 via the bore shoulder edge 35.
- the opening time of the unthrottled overflow between the annular gap 29 and the pressure chamber 31 below and thus the first opening stroke phase can now be set in a simple manner.
- the shape of the injection course can also be gradually adjusted via the throttle cross section of the throttle bore 41.
- the fuel injection valve is closed in a known manner by interrupting the high-pressure fuel supply in the upper pressure chamber 21, as a result of which the pressure present at the injection valve again drops below the necessary opening pressure, so that the valve spring 45 now moves the valve member 7 back into contact with the valve seat surface 11, the pressure build-up described at the outset now being established again via the throttle bore 41.
- Fuel injection valve is now possible in a structurally simple manner to be able to set a two-stage opening stroke course of the valve member 7 without having to resort to a second additional valve closing spring.
