Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher mit angeschweißtem Anschlussstutzen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 für ein Kraftstoffeinspritzsystem für Brennkraftmaschinen.The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel accumulator with welded connection piece according to the preamble of
Die verschiedenen Baugruppen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzsystems, wie Kraftstoffhochdruckpumpe, Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher und Einspritzdüsen, werden üblicherweise durch hydraulische Leitungen miteinander verbunden. Die Abdichtung dieser Verbindungen erfolgt oftmals mit Hilfe einer über die hydraulische Leitung geschobenen Spannmutter, welche mit einem mit dem Gehäuse der entsprechenden Baugruppe flüssigkeitsdicht verbundenen Anschlussstutzen verschraubt wird. Insbesondere der Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher weist eine Vielzahl solcher Anschlussstutzen auf, die beispielsweise die Kraftstoffzufuhr und den Kraftstoffabfluss in und aus dem Speicher ermöglichen.The various components of a fuel injection system, such as high-pressure fuel pump, high-pressure fuel storage and injectors are usually connected by hydraulic lines. The sealing of these compounds is often carried out with the help of a pushed over the hydraulic line clamping nut, which is bolted to a liquid-tightly connected to the housing of the corresponding assembly connecting piece. In particular, the high-pressure fuel accumulator has a plurality of such connecting pieces, which allow, for example, the fuel supply and the fuel drain into and out of the memory.
Aus der DE 39 15 440 A1 und der DE 94 03 470 U und der DE 93 02 824 U sind Anschlussstutzen bekannt, die nach erfolgtem Einsetzen in eine Bohrung des Kraftstoffverteilers durch ein Werkzeug in radialer Richtung aufgeweitet werde. Der dadurch entstandene Querpesssitz dient der Verbindung und der Abdichtung von Kraftstoffverteiler und Anschlussstutzen.From DE 39 15 440 A1 and DE 94 03 470 U and DE 93 02 824 U connecting pieces are known, which will be widened by a tool in the radial direction after insertion into a bore of the fuel rail. The resulting transverse interference fit serves to connect and seal the fuel distributor and connecting piece.
Bekannt sind Anschlussstutzen, die an das Gehäuse angeschweißt werden. Nachteilig an den bekannten Schweißkonstruktionen ist, dass die Schweißnaht zwei Funktionen hat. Erstens muss sie die Verbindung zwischen Gehäuse und Anschlussstutzen herstellen und alle Kräfte übertragen. Vor allem bei modernen Kraftstoffeinspritzsystemen resultieren aus den hohen schwellenden Drücken hohe schwellende Zugspannungen in der Schweißnaht. Zweitens muss die Schweißnaht eine Dichtfunktion erfüllen, was zusätzliche Anforderungen an die Schweißnaht mit sich bringt.Are known connecting pieces, which are connected to the housing be welded. A disadvantage of the known weldments is that the weld has two functions. First, it must establish the connection between the housing and the connecting piece and transfer all forces. Especially in modern fuel injection systems resulting from the high swelling pressures high swelling tensile stresses in the weld. Secondly, the weld must fulfill a sealing function, which entails additional requirements for the weld.
So ist aus der FR 2 762 050 A ein Kraftstoffverteiler bekannt an den ein Anschlussstutzen mittels einer Reibschweißung befestigt wird. Die dabei entstehende Schweißnaht steht dabei in direktem Kontakt mit dem unter hohem Druck stehenden Kraftstoff und sorgt sowohl für die Verbindung von Anschlussstutzen und Kraftstoffverteiler als auch für die Abdichtung dieser Verbindung.Thus, FR 2 762 050 A discloses a fuel distributor to which a connecting piece is fastened by means of friction welding. The resulting weld is in direct contact with the high-pressure fuel and ensures both the connection of the connecting piece and the fuel distributor and for the sealing of this connection.
Ein weiterer Nachteil anderer bekannter Schweißkonstruktionen ist, dass beim Schweißvorgang Spritzer oder Schweißaufwürfe in den Hochdruckbereich der Leitung oder des Kraftstoffspeichers gelangen können, was Funktionsstörungen des Kraftstoffeinspritzsystems zur Folge haben kann. Dieser Nachteil wird bei einem aus der US 2, 015, 246 A bekannten Anschlussstutzen, der zum Anschweißen an ein Rohr geeignet ist, dadurch vermieden, dass an einem Ende des Anschlussstutzens ein Bund ausgebildet ist, der in eine Bohrung des Rohrs ragt. Der Spalt zwischen dem Bund und der Bohrung ist so klein, dass Schweißspritzer nicht ins Innere des Rohrs gelangen können. Auch bei diesem Anschlussstutzen erfolgt die Abdichtung ausschließlich durch die Schweißnaht.Another disadvantage of other known welding constructions is that during the welding process spatters or sweats can enter the high-pressure area of the line or the fuel accumulator, which can result in malfunctions of the fuel injection system. This disadvantage is avoided in a known from US 2, 015, 246 A connecting piece, which is suitable for welding to a pipe, characterized in that at one end of the connecting piece, a collar is formed, which projects into a bore of the tube. The gap between the collar and the bore is so small that spatter can not get inside the tube. Even with this connection, the seal is made exclusively by the weld.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher mit einem Gehäuse und einem mit diesem verbundenen Anschlussstutzen bereitzustellen, welche den Hochdruckbereich des Gehäuses und des Anschlussstutzens sicher gegen die Umgebung abdichten und bei welchen der Hochdruckbereich zuverlässig gegen Partikel, die beim Verbinden beider Bauteile entstehen können, geschützt ist.The present invention has for its object to provide a high-pressure fuel accumulator with a housing and a connecting piece connected to this, which securely seal the high-pressure region of the housing and the connecting piece against the environment and in which the high-pressure region reliably against particles that may arise when connecting both components , is protected.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch einen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a high-pressure fuel storage with the features of
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung von Gehäuse und Anschlussstutzen übernimmt das Spannelement mit seiner zylindrischen Dichtfläche in Verbindung mit einem entsprechend gestalteten Gehäuse die Abdichtung des in der Durchgangsbohrung befindlichen Kraftstoffs von der Umgebung. Durch die räumliche Trennung der Funktionen "Halten" und "Dichten" des Anschlussstutzens können sowohl die Dichtfläche als auch die Verbindung von Anschlussstutzen und Gehäuse optimal gestaltet werden.In the inventive connection of the housing and the connecting piece takes the clamping element with its cylindrical sealing surface in conjunction with a correspondingly shaped housing the sealing of the located in the through hole fuel from the environment. Due to the spatial separation of the functions "holding" and "sealing" of the connecting piece, both the sealing surface and the connection of connecting piece and housing can be optimally designed.
Außerdem verhindert die Dichtfläche, dass beim Verbinden von Anschlussstutzen und Gehäuse anfallende Schweissspritzer oder Späne in den Hochdruckbereich von Anschlussstutzen oder Gehäuse gelangen können.In addition, the sealing surface prevents that when connecting connecting piece and housing accumulating weld splashes or shavings can get into the high-pressure area of the connecting piece or housing.
Außerdem entfällt - im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, bei dem eine Schweißnaht auch die Abdichtung gegenüber der Umgebung übernimmt - die Kerbwirkung, welche der Betriebsdruck verursacht, wenn der Kraftstoff bis zur Schweißnaht gelangt. Zusätzlich ist es durch die räumliche Trennung der Funktionen "Halten" und "Dichten" nahezu ausgeschlossen, die Dichtfläche beim Verbinden von Anschlussstutzen und Gehäuse zu beschädigen.In addition, in contrast to the prior art, in which a weld also takes over the seal against the environment - eliminates the notch effect, which causes the operating pressure when the fuel reaches the weld. In addition, due to the physical separation of the functions "holding" and "sealing", it is virtually impossible to damage the sealing surface when connecting the connecting piece and housing.
Zusätzlich ist, wegen der Vorspannung des Spannelements, nach erfolgter Schweißung auf Dauer eine Vorspannung zwischen den Dichtflächen des Anschlussstutzens und des Gehäuses vorhanden.In addition, due to the bias of the clamping element, after the welding in the long term, a bias between the sealing surfaces of the connection piece and the housing available.
Schließlich entfällt die durch den unter Betriebsdruck stehenden Kraftstoff möglicherweise hervorgerufene Kerbwirkung auf die Schweissnaht.Finally, the notch effect possibly caused by the fuel under operating pressure on the weld seam is eliminated.
Das gilt vor allem dann, wenn die vom Betriebsdruck des Kraftstoffs beaufschlagte wirksame Querschnittsfläche der Dichtfläche des Spannelements kleiner als die von der Schweißnaht eingeschlossene Fläche ist.This is especially true when the acted upon by the operating pressure of the fuel effective cross-sectional area of the sealing surface of the clamping element is smaller than the area enclosed by the weld seam.
Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass an einem ersten Ende des Anschlussstutzens konzentrisch zur Durchgangsbohrung ein zylindrisches Spannelement angeordnet ist, wobei das Spannelement eine Durchgangsbohrung aufweist, dass die Bohrung an ihrem dem Anschlusstutzen zugewandten Ende eine Vertiefung aufweist, die mit dem Spannelement eine Presspassung bildet.An embodiment of the invention provides that at a first end of the connecting piece concentric to the through hole, a cylindrical clamping element is arranged, wherein the clamping element has a through hole, that the bore has at its end facing the connection nozzle a recess which forms an interference fit with the clamping element ,
Die Presspassung dichtet die Durchgangsbohrung des Anschlussstutzens und die Bohrung des Gehäuses gegen die Umgebung ab und bildet somit die Dichtfläche. Aufgrund der Flächenpressung zwischen dem Spannelement und der Vertiefung des Gehäuses wird eine gute Dichtwirkung erzielt.The interference fit seals the through-bore of the connecting piece and the bore of the housing against the environment and thus forms the sealing surface. Due to the surface pressure between the clamping element and the recess of the housing a good sealing effect is achieved.
Bei einer anderen Variante ist vorgesehen, dass an einem ersten Ende des Anschlussstutzens konzentrisch zur Durchgangsbohrung eine Senkung angeordnet ist, dass die Bohrung des Gehäuses an ihrem dem Anschlusstutzen zugewandten Ende eine Vertiefung aufweist, und dass zwischen Anschlussstutzen und Gehäuse ein zylindrisches Spannelement vorhanden ist, das mit der Senkung des Anschlussstutzens und der Vertiefung des Gehäuses Presspassungen bildet, so dass Anschlussstutzen, Spannelement und Gehäuse aus verschiedenen, optimal an die jeweiligen Erfordernisse angepassten Materialien hergestellt werden können und somit die Betriebssicherheit verbesssert wird.In another variant, it is provided that at a first end of the connecting piece concentric with the through hole, a countersink is arranged, that the bore of the housing at its end facing the connection nozzle has a recess, and that between the connecting piece and the housing, a cylindrical clamping element is present forms with the reduction of the connection piece and the recess of the housing interference fits, so that connecting piece, clamping element and housing can be made of different, optimally adapted to the respective requirements materials and thus the reliability is improved.
Bei einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung hat das Spannelement die Form eines Außenzylinders, so dass der Betriebsdruck des Kraftstoffs die Dichtfläche des Spannelements nach aussen aufweitet. Dadurch wird die Flächenpressung zwischen der Dichtfläche des Anschlussstutzens und des der Vertiefung des Gehäuses erhöht, was die Dichtheit der Verbindung zusätzlich steigert.In one embodiment of the invention, the clamping element has the shape of an outer cylinder, so that the operating pressure of the fuel expands the sealing surface of the clamping element to the outside. As a result, the surface pressure between the sealing surface of the connecting piece and the recess of the housing is increased, which additionally increases the tightness of the connection.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in dem Spannelement mindestens eine Nut zur Aufnahme eines Dichtrings vorhanden, so dass die Dichtheit durch den Dichtring weiter erhöht wird.In a further embodiment of the invention, at least one groove for receiving a sealing ring is present in the clamping element, so that the tightness is further increased by the sealing ring.
In Ergänzung der Erfindung sind in der Vertiefung des Gehäuses und der Senkung des Anschlussstutzens Nuten zur Aufnahme mindestens je eines Dichtrings vorhanden, so dass das Spannelement besonders klein dimensioniert werden kann, da die Dichtringe einen Teil der Funktion "Dichten" übernimmt und das Spannelement nicht durch Nuten zur Aufnahme eines Dichtrings geschwächt wird.In addition to the invention grooves for receiving at least one respective sealing ring are present in the recess of the housing and the reduction of the connecting piece, so that the clamping element can be particularly small dimensions, since the sealing rings takes over part of the function "densities" and not the clamping element Grooves for receiving a sealing ring is weakened.

An dem dem Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher 2 zugewandten Ende des Anschlussstutzens 1 weist dieser einen Bund 7 auf. Dieser Bund 7 wirkt als Anschlag in Richtung der Längsachse des Anschlussstutzens 1, wenn er auf einer entsprechenden Ringfläche 8 des Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers 2 aufsitzt. Damit kann die Position des Anschlussstutzens 1 in axialer Richtung bezüglich des Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers 2 beim Schweißen festgelegt werden.At the fuel high-pressure accumulator 2 facing the end of the connecting
In eine zylindrische Vertiefung 9 des Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers 2 ragt ein Spannelement 10 des Anschlussstutzens 1 hinein.
