Definitions
- the invention is based on a valve for controlling liquids in accordance with the preamble of patent claim 1.
- a valve which can be actuated via a piezoelectric actuator, is already known from EP 0 477 400 A1.
- This known valve has an arrangement for an adaptive, mechanical tolerance compensation acting in the stroke direction for a displacement transformer of the piezoelectric actuator, in which the deflection of the piezoelectric actuator is transmitted via a hydraulic chamber.
- the hydraulic chamber which works as a so-called hydraulic ratio, closes between two pistons delimiting it, one of which is designed with a smaller diameter and is connected to a valve member to be actuated and the other piston is designed with a larger diameter and with the piezoelectric actuator is connected, a common compensation volume.
- the hydraulic chamber is clamped between the two pistons in such a way that the actuating piston of the valve member, which is held in its rest position by means of one or more springs relative to a predetermined position, one stroke increased by the ratio of the piston diameter when the larger piston is moved by the piezoelectric actuator by a certain distance.
- the valve member, the pistons and the piezoelectric actuator lie one behind the other on a common axis.
- the compensation volume of the hydraulic chamber can be used to compensate for tolerances due to temperature gradients in the component or different coefficients of thermal expansion of the materials used, as well as any setting effects, without a change in the position of the valve member to be controlled.
- a piezoelectric actuator is constructed from several thin layers in order to achieve the largest possible stroke. So that these layers do not come apart from one another when the piezoelectric actuator is energized, the piezoelectric actuator must be pretensioned, the force to be applied in this case being approximately 1000 N.
- the invention has for its object to provide a valve for controlling liquids, in which the bias of a piezoelectric actuator and tolerance compensation is implemented with a small space requirement with a simple structure with as few components as possible.
- the valve according to the invention for the control of liquids with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that with the hydraulic chamber designed as a hydraulic spring, a biasing element for the piezoelectric actuator and a compensating element for temperature-related elongation tolerances in particular is realized at the same time.
- the prestressing is represented hydraulically and with a small space requirement, a desired slim design of the entire valve being possible by dispensing with springs or other mechanical prestressing elements.
- the manufacturing costs and the assembly effort can be significantly reduced.
- Another important advantage of the invention is that the overall rigidity of the system can be increased by dimensioning the hydraulic chamber, the hydraulic spring and the piston immersed in it. Since the rigidity of the hydraulic spring depends on the cross-sectional area of the piston, the rigidity of the hydraulic spring and thus the preload force on the piezoelectric actuator can be increased at the same pressure if the cross-sectional area of the piston immersed in the hydraulic chamber is increased accordingly.
- Figure 1 is a schematic, partial representation of a first embodiment of the invention in a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines in longitudinal section
- Figure 2 is a schematic, partial representation of a second embodiment in a fuel injector in longitudinal section.
- the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 shows the use of the valve according to the invention in a fuel injection valve 1 for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles.
- fuel injection valve 1 is designed as a common rail injector.
- a valve member 2 is controlled via a piezoelectric actuator 3, which is arranged in a piezo chamber 4 on the side of the valve member 2 facing away from the combustion chamber.
- the piston-shaped valve member 2 is arranged in an axially displaceable manner in a bore 5 of a valve body 6 designed as a longitudinal bore and has a ball-like valve head 7 forming a valve closing member at its combustion chamber end.
- the valve head 7 interacts with a seat 8 formed on the valve body 6, a connection to a spring chamber 9 having a spring force exerting a restoring force on the outwardly opening valve head 7 being produced in the lifted state of the valve head 7.
- an outlet throttle 11 connects to the spring chamber 9, which leads to a valve control chamber 12, into which an injection line 13, which is only symbolically indicated in FIG. 1, flows, which in turn leads away from a high-pressure storage chamber (common rail) 14 common to all fuel injection valves ,
- the high-pressure storage space 14 filled in a known manner by a high pressure fuel pump with high pressure fuel from a storage tank.
- the piezoelectric actuator 3 is constructed from several layers and has an actuator head 15 on its side facing the combustion chamber and an actuator foot 16 on its side facing away from the combustion chamber.
- An actuating piston 17 is attached to the actuator head 15, which extends from the piezo chamber 4 through a support 18 for the actuator head 15 on the combustion chamber-side wall of the piezo chamber 4 into the longitudinal bore 5, in which the valve member 2 is mounted.
- the piezo chamber 4 is sealed in the area of the actuating piston 17 with a sealing device 19 in relation to the longitudinal bore 5.
- the actuator foot 16 is fixedly connected to a further piston 20, which is immersed in a hydraulic chamber 21, which is arranged on the side of the piezoelectric actuator 3 facing away from the valve member 2 in the installed position of the fuel injection valve 1 above the piezo chamber 4.
- the piezo chamber 4 is sealed from this by a further sealing device 22 in the region of the piston 20 leading into the hydraulic chamber 21.
- the essentially closed hydraulic chamber 21 is designed with the pressure medium contained therein, which is supplied from a low-pressure source with a pressure that is relaxed compared to the pressure level of the high-pressure storage chamber 14, as a hydraulic spring which communicates via a hydraulic line 23 formed in the valve body 6 with which the Longitudinal bore 5 containing valve member 2 is connected.
- the hydraulic spring performs a double function, because on the one hand it serves as a biasing element of the piezoelectric actuator 3 and on the other hand it is a tolerance compensation element.
- the fuel injection valve 1 according to FIG. 1 operates in the manner described below.
- the valve head 7 of the valve member 2 is held in contact with the seat 8 assigned to it, so that no fuel can get into the region of the longitudinal bore 5 from the valve control chamber 12 connected to the high-pressure storage chamber 14. Due to a slightly increased system pressure in the hydraulic chamber 21 of approximately 65 bar in the present embodiment, the piezoelectric actuator 3 is clamped between the hydraulic spring and the support 18 on the combustion chamber side.
- the pretensioning force of the piezoelectric actuator 3 can be adjusted via the diameter of the piston 20, with the largest possible piston diameter being advantageous.
- a piston diameter of 14 mm is sufficient to achieve a pretensioning force of 1000 N at a system pressure of 65 bar.
- those skilled in the art can choose different values that are adapted to the individual case.
- the piezoelectric actuator 3 When an injection is to take place through the fuel injection valve 1, the piezoelectric actuator 3 is energized, as a result of which its axial expansion increases abruptly. With such a rapid actuation of the piezoelectric actuator 3, it is supported on the support 18 and with the piston 20 projecting into the hydraulic chamber 21 on the hydraulic spring, as a result of which hydraulic medium is displaced from the hydraulic chamber 21 via the hydraulic line 23 into the longitudinal bore 5 of the valve member 2 is, whereby the valve head 7 of the valve member 2 lifts from its seat 8 in an open position.
- the increased rigidity due to a relatively large diameter of the piston 20 has a positive effect.
- FIG. 2 a second exemplary embodiment of fuel injector 1 is shown, in which, for the sake of clarity, functionally identical components are identified by the reference numerals used in FIG. 1.
- the fuel injection valve 1 shown here differs in that the volume of the hydraulic chamber 21 cooperating with the piezoelectric actuator 3 can be changed externally.
- a schematically illustrated adjusting screw is provided in a bore 25 as an adjusting device 24 in the present exemplary embodiment, which is positioned in such a way that the adjusting screw 24 can be screwed into the hydraulic chamber 21 in a protruding manner, as a result of which the compensation volume, depending on the change in the position of the adjusting screw 24, is reduced or is enlarged.
- quantity tolerances can be compensated to a limited extent, since the Stiffness of the compensation volume is inversely proportional to the volume.
- the opening behavior of the fuel injection valve 1 and thus the injection quantity can be influenced.
- the adjusting screw 24 thus enables the injection quantity to be readjusted externally by correcting the compensation volume in the hydraulic chamber 21.
- the sealing device 22 for separating the hydraulic chamber 21 from the piezo chamber 4 is arranged in a region of the piston 20 protruding into the hydraulic chamber 21, which lies within the piezo chamber 4, so that an annular chamber 26 thereof is separated with the diameter of the piezo chamber 4.
- the sealing device 22 also has the function here of protecting the piezoelectric actuator 3 from any water content and harmful particles such as e.g. Protect Span.
- the hydraulic line 23 opens into the annular chamber 26, which is connected to the hydraulic chamber 21 via an annular gap 27.
- a filling surface 28 is formed on the piston 20 in the area of the annular gap 27.
- the hydraulic medium for filling the hydraulic chamber 21 is the fuel, which is also injected into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
