Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Injektor mit Piezo-Mehrlagenaktor für Einspritzsysteme, insbesondere einem Injektor, der bei "Common-Rail"-Dieseleinspritzsystemen von Kraftfahrzeugen Verwendung finden kann, wobei der Körper des Piezoaktors eine quadratische oder rechteckige Querschnittskontur hat und zusammen mit einem zweischenkligen Vorspannungsbügel, der längs einander gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten des Aktorkörpers angebracht ist, innerhalb einer Längsbohrung des Injektorkörpers sitzt. Ein derartiger Injektor ist z. B. aus der DE 40 36 287 C2 oder der DE-A-19 650 900 bekannt.The invention is based on an injector with a piezo multilayer actuator for injection systems, especially one Injector used in "Common Rail" diesel injection systems from Motor vehicles can be used, the body the piezo actuator is square or rectangular Has cross-sectional contour and together with one two-legged pre-tensioning bracket that runs along each other opposite outer sides of the actuator body attached is, within a longitudinal bore of the injector body sitting. Such an injector is e.g. B. from DE 40 36 287 C2 or DE-A-19 650 900 known.

Die beiliegende Figur 1 zeigt in einem schematischen Längsschnitt A und in einem Querschnitt B schematisch einen solchen Injektor, bei dem innerhalb eines Injektorkörpers 2 ein einen mehrlagigen Piezokörper 1 bildender Aktor zur Betätigung eines (nicht gezeigten) Stößels des Injektors mittels zweier als Federbänder 3a, 3b ausgebildeter Spannbügel zwischen seinen einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnseiten federnd eingespannt ist. Der quadratische Aktorkörper 1 sitzt in einer zylindrischen Längsbohrung 5 des Injektorkörpers 2. The attached Figure 1 shows a schematic Longitudinal section A and in a cross section B schematically one such injector, in which within an injector body 2 an actuator forming a multilayer piezo body 1 Actuation of a plunger (not shown) of the injector by means of two spring bands 3a, 3b Tensioning bracket between its opposite End faces is resiliently clamped. The square Actuator body 1 is seated in a cylindrical longitudinal bore 5 the injector body 2.

Wie die schematische Querschnittsansicht B in Figur 1 zeigt, sind an den Längsseiten des Aktorkörpers 1 Elektroden und Kontaktbahnen 4 angebracht. Die zur Kontaktierung dienenden Längsseiten des Aktorkörpers 1 sind diejenigen, an denen die Spannbügel 3a, 3b nicht entlang führen.Like the schematic cross-sectional view B in FIG. 1 shows are on the long sides of the actuator body 1 Electrodes and contact tracks 4 attached. The for Contacting long sides of the actuator body 1 are those on which the clamps 3a, 3b are not along to lead.

Es ist bekannt, daß Piezoaktoren, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, am kostengünstigsten in rechteckiger oder quadratischer Form hergestellt werden können. Dies liegt daran, daß die Aktorkörper in größeren Nutzen hergestellt und am Ende in Einzelaktoren zersägt werden. Bei einer kurzen Bauform eines "Common-Rail"-Injektors mit einem solchen rechteckigen oder quadratischen Piezoaktor ist ein möglichst kleiner Außendurchmesser des Injektorkörpers im Zylinderkopf eines Verbrennungsmotors wichtig. Übliche Außendurchmesser sind etwa 19 bis 21 mm. In diesen Durchmesser muß der Aktorkörper einschließlich seiner Vorspannbügel, die Elektrodenkontaktierung und eine (in Figur 1 nicht gezeigte) zur Düse des Injektors führende Hochdruckbohrung eingebracht werden.It is known that piezo actuators, as shown in FIG. 1, cheapest in rectangular or square Shape can be made. This is because the Actuator body made in greater use and end up in Individual actuators are sawn. With a short design a "common rail" injector with one rectangular or square piezo actuator is a smallest possible outside diameter of the injector body in The cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is important. usual Outside diameters are approximately 19 to 21 mm. In these The diameter of the actuator body including its Preload bracket, the electrode contact and a (in Figure 1 not shown) leading to the nozzle of the injector High pressure hole are introduced.

Aufgabe und Vorteile der ErfindungObject and advantages of the invention

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen gattungsgemäßen Injektor so zu gestalten, daß innerhalb eines Injektorkörpers mit dem oben erwähnten Außendurchmesser platzsparend ein leistungsfähiger rechteckiger oder quadratischer Piezo-Mehrlagenaktor, dessen Vorspannbügel sowie die Hochdruckbohrung untergebracht werden können.It is an object of the invention, a generic To design the injector so that within a Injector body with the outer diameter mentioned above a powerful rectangular or space-saving square piezo multi-layer actuator, its pretensioning bracket as well as the high pressure bore can be accommodated.

Erfindungsgemäß kann durch eine rechteckige oder quadratische Innenbohrung mit abgerundeten Ecken der Aktorkörper mit quadratischer oder rechteckiger Außenkontur zusammen mit seinen Vorspannbügeln relativ eng von der Innenbohrung des Injektorkörpers umschlossen werden, wobei gleichzeitig Bauraum für die Hochdruckbohrung im Injektorkörper geschaffen wird.According to the invention, a rectangular or square inner bore with rounded corners of the Actuator body with a square or rectangular outer contour together with its pretensioners relatively narrow from the Inner bore of the injector body are enclosed, wherein at the same time space for the high pressure drilling in the Injector body is created.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Hochdruckbohrung im Injektorkörper entlang einer der Seiten des Aktorkörpers geführt, an der kein Schenkel des Vorspannbügels liegt. Dabei kann der Hochdruckbohrung gegenüber im Injektorkörper außerdem eine Leckölbohrung achsparallel zur Längsachse des Injektorkörpers liegen.In one embodiment, the high pressure bore in Injector body along one of the sides of the actuator body out, on which there is no leg of the pretensioning bracket. The high pressure bore can be located opposite in the injector body also a drain hole parallel to the longitudinal axis of the Injector body.

Wichtig ist, daß der Aktorkörper nicht quadratisch sein muß, sondern eine rechteckige Querschnittskontur haben kann. In diesem Fall können die beiden Schenkel des Vorspannbügels entlang den beiden längeren Rechteckseiten des Aktorkörpers führen, wobei dann die Kontaktbahnen an den beiden anderen, d. h. kurzen Rechteckseiten des Aktorkörpers liegen.It is important that the actuator body is not square must, but have a rectangular cross-sectional contour can. In this case, the two legs of the Preload bracket along the two longer sides of the rectangle of the actuator body, the contact tracks then the other two, d. H. short sides of the rectangle Actuator body lie.

Alternativ kann die Innenlängsbohrung des Injektorkörpers auch so gestaltet sein, daß sowohl die Schenkel des Vorspannbügels als auch die Kontaktbahnen entlang denselben Rechteckseiten des Aktorkörpers geführt sind.Alternatively, the inner longitudinal bore of the injector body also be designed so that both the legs of the Preload bracket as well as the contact tracks along the same Rectangular sides of the actuator body are guided.

Da die senkrecht zur Richtung der Längsachse des Injektorkörpers gemessene Breite der Schenkel des Vorspannbügels geringer sein kann als die Breite der jeweils zugeordneten Seiten des Aktorkörpers, kann die Querschnittsform der Innenlängsbohrung im Injektorkörper auch so abgerundet sein, daß an zwei parallele Seitenwände der Innenlängsbohrung zwei in Querschnitt etwa kreisförmige Seitenwände anschließen. Auch diese Bohrung kann mittels eines Räumwerkzeugs durch Räumen oder durch elektrochemisches Abtragen hergestellt werden.Since the perpendicular to the direction of the longitudinal axis of the Injector body measured width of the legs of the Preload bracket may be less than the width of the respectively assigned sides of the actuator body, the Cross-sectional shape of the inner longitudinal bore in the injector body also be rounded so that on two parallel side walls the inner longitudinal bore two approximately circular in cross section Connect side walls. This hole can also be a broach by broaching or by electrochemical removal.

Nachstehend werden verschiedene Ausführungsformen und Varianten des erfindungsgemäßen Injektors anhand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Various embodiments and Variants of the injector according to the invention using the Drawing described in more detail.

Das in Figur 2 schematisch in Form eines Querschnitts dargestellte erste Ausführungsbeispiel des erfindungsgemäßen Injektors beinhaltet innerhalb einer rechteckigen Längsbohrung 9 mit abgerundeten Ecken eines Injektorkörpers 10 einen mehrlagigen piezoelektrischen Aktor, dessen Körper 11 in dem gezeigten Querschnitt eine quadratische Außenkontur mit den Seiten a, b, c und d hat. Entlang den Seiten a und c ragen Vorspannbügel 12, die den Aktorkörper 11 zwischen seinen (nicht zu erkennenden) Stirnseiten einspannen. Die Querschnittskontur der Innenlängsbohrung 9 des Injektorkörpers 10 ist so gewählt, daß an den anderen einander gegenüberliegenden Rechteckseiten b und d des Aktorkörpers 11 Platz für Kontaktstege 15 im Injektorkörper außerhalb der Innenlängsbohrung 9 noch Platz für eine Hochdruckbohrung 14 und eine gegenüberliegende Leckölbohrung 16 bleibt, die beide den Seiten b und d des Aktorkörpers 11 gegenüberliegen und in Richtung der Längsachse des Injektorkörpers führen.That in Figure 2 schematically in the form of a cross section illustrated first embodiment of the injector according to the invention includes within a rectangular longitudinal bore 9 with rounded corners Injector body 10 a multi-layer piezoelectric Actuator, the body 11 in the cross section shown a has a square outer contour with the sides a, b, c and d.

Die Lage der einander gegenüberliegenden Schenkel 12 des Vorspannbügels, der Kontaktstege 15, der Hochdruckbohrung 14 und der Leckölbohrung 16 sind dieselben wie in Figur 2. Allerdings ist die Querschnittskontur der Innenlängsbohrung 19 im Injektorkörper 20 anders als in Figur 2, denn die beiden parallelen Rechteckseiten sind durch zwei im Querschnitt bogenförmige, besonders kreisförmige Seiten verbunden, wobei die beiden kreisförmigen Seiten konzentrisch zur Außenkontur des Injektorkörpers 20 verlaufen können.Also in the second shown in cross section in Figure 3 Embodiment of an injector according to the invention sits square actuator body 11 within a rounded rectangular inner longitudinal bore 19 of an injector body 20. The location of the opposing legs 12 of the Preload bracket, the contact webs 15, the high pressure bore 14 and the leak oil bore 16 are the same as in FIG. 2. However, the cross-sectional contour of the inner longitudinal bore 19 in the injector body 20 differently than in Figure 2, because the two parallel sides of the rectangle are separated by two Cross-section of arcuate, especially circular sides connected, the two circular sides concentric to the outer contour of the injector body 20 can run.

Das in Figur 4 im Querschnitt gezeigte dritte Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Injektors hat statt eines quadratischen einen deutlich rechteckförmigen Aktorkörper 11, und die einander gegenüberliegenden Schenkel des Vorspannbügels 12 erstrecken sich entlang den (im Querschnitt) längeren Rechteckseiten b und d des Aktorkörpers 11, während die Hochdruckbohrung 14 und die Leckölbohrung 14 sowie die Kontaktstege 15 entlang den kürzeren Rechteckseiten a und c des Aktorkörpers 11 liegen.The third shown in cross section in FIG. 4 Has embodiment of an injector according to the invention instead of a square, a clearly rectangular one Actuator body 11, and the opposite one another Legs of the pretensioning bracket 12 extend along the (in cross section) longer rectangle sides b and d of the Actuator body 11, while the high pressure bore 14 and the Leak oil hole 14 and the contact webs 15 along the shorter rectangle sides a and c of the actuator body 11.

Bei dem in Figur 5 gezeigten vierten Ausführungsbeispiel hat die Querschnittskontur der Innenlängsbohrung 39 eines Injektorkörpers 40 wieder eine Form, wie sie bereits im zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel der Figur 3 vorgesehen ist, und die beiden Schenkel des Vorspannbügels 12 sowie beide Kontaktstege 15 erstrecken sich entlang den (im Querschnitt) längeren Rechteckseiten b und d des Aktorkörpers 11, der, wie in Figur 4, nicht quadratisch sondern rechteckig ist. Die Hochdruckbohrung 14 und die Leckölbohrung 16 führen längs den (im Querschnitt) kürzeren Rechteckseiten a und c des Aktorkörpers 11.In the fourth exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 5 has the cross-sectional contour of the inner longitudinal bore 39 one Injector body 40 again a shape, as already in the second embodiment of Figure 3 is provided, and the two legs of the pretensioning bracket 12 and both Contact webs 15 extend along the (in Cross section) longer sides of the rectangle b and d of Actuator body 11, which, as in Figure 4, is not square but is rectangular. The high pressure bore 14 and the Leak oil bore 16 lead along the shorter (in cross section) Rectangular sides a and c of the actuator body 11.

Die Anordnung der Schenkel des Vorspannbügels 12, der Kontaktstege 15 und der Hochdruckbohrung 14 sowie der Leckölbohrung 16 innerhalb eines Injektorkörpers 50 sind bei dem in Figur 6 gezeigten fünften Ausführungsbeispiel gleichartig wie in Figur 2, mit dem Unterschied, daß der Aktorkörper 11 bei dem in Figur 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel einen quadratischen Querschnitt und in dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Figur 6 einen deutlich rechteckigen Querschnitt hat. Deshalb ist auch die Querschnittsform der Innenlängsbohrung 49 bei dem in Figur 6 gezeigten Injektorkörper 50 deutlich rechteckig, so daß der Injektorkörper 50 selbst genügend Platz für die beiden Bohrungen, nämlich die Hochdruckbohrung 14 und die Leckölbohrung 16 bietet.The arrangement of the legs of the biasing bracket 12, the Contact webs 15 and the high pressure bore 14 and the Leakage oil bore 16 are within an injector body 50 in the fifth embodiment shown in Figure 6 the same as in Figure 2, with the difference that the Actuator body 11 in that shown in Figure 2 Embodiment a square cross section and in the embodiment of Figure 6 one clearly has a rectangular cross section. That is why it is Cross-sectional shape of the inner longitudinal bore 49 in the in Figure 6 shown injector body 50 clearly rectangular, so that the injector body 50 itself has enough space for the two Bores, namely the high pressure bore 14 and the Leak oil hole 16 offers.

Figur 7 schließlich zeigt im Längsschnitt das in Figur 4 im Querschnitt gezeigte Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Injektors. Die Kontaktstege 15 befinden sich jeweils vor und hinter dem Aktorkörper 11 und ebenfalls die Leckölbohrung und die Hochdruckbohrung, so daß sie in Figur 7 nicht sichtbar sind. Figur 7 zeigt deutlich die Lage und Funktion der Vorspannbügel, die die beiden Stirnseiten des Aktorkörpers unter Vorspannung halten.Figure 7 finally shows in longitudinal section that in Figure 4 in Cross section shown embodiment of a injector according to the invention. The contact webs 15 are located each in front and behind the actuator body 11 and also the leak oil drilling and the high pressure drilling, see above that they are not visible in Figure 7. Figure 7 shows clearly the location and function of the pretensioning bracket, which the both ends of the actuator body under tension hold.

Wichtig ist, daß, wie die in den Figuren 5 bis 7 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen, der Aktorkörper nicht quadratisch sein muß.It is important that, like that in FIGS The exemplary embodiments shown show the actuator body does not have to be square.

Vorteilhafterweise ermöglicht der, oben beschriebene erfindungsgemäße "Common-Rail"-Injektor eine kurze Bauform des Aktors bei gleichzeitig optimiertem Platzbedarf des Injektors innerhalb des Zylinderkopfes einer Verbrennungsmaschine. Mit der Verwendung eines kostengünstig herstellbaren rechteckigen oder quadratischen Aktors kann durch die abgerundete Querschnittskontur der Innenlängsbohrung des Injektorkörpers zusätzlich Raum für die im Injektorkörper liegende Hochdruckbohrung sowie die Leckölbohrung geschaffen werden.Advantageously, the one described above enables "Common rail" injector according to the invention has a short design of the actuator with optimized space requirements of the Injector inside the cylinder head one Combustion engine.
