Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher für ein Common-Rail-Kraftstoffeinspritzsystem einer Brennkraftmaschine, mit einem hohlen Grundkörper, der mit mehreren Anschlussöffnungen ausgestattet ist, und ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines derartigen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers.The invention relates to a high-pressure fuel accumulator for a common rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, having a hollow base body which is equipped with a plurality of connection openings, and a method for producing such a high-pressure fuel accumulator.

In Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen fördert eine Hochdruckpumpe, eventuell unter Zuhilfenahme einer Vorförderpumpe, den einzuspritzenden Kraftstoff aus einem Tank in den zentralen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher, der als Common-Rail bezeichnet wird. Von dem Rail führen Kraftstoffleitungen zu den einzelnen Injektoren, die den Zylindern der Brennkraftmaschine zugeordnet sind. Die Injektoren werden in Abhängigkeit von den Betriebsparametern der Brennkraftmaschine einzeln von der Motorelektronik angesteuert, um Kraftstoff in den Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine einzuspritzen. Durch den Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher sind die Druckerzeugung und die Einspritzung voneinander entkoppelt.In common-rail injection systems, a high-pressure pump, possibly with the aid of a prefeed pump, conveys the fuel to be injected from a tank into the central high-pressure fuel accumulator, which is referred to as a common rail. From the rail lead fuel lines to the individual injectors, which are assigned to the cylinders of the internal combustion engine. The injectors are controlled individually by the engine electronics as a function of the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine in order to inject fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. Due to the high-pressure fuel storage, the pressure generation and the injection are decoupled from each other.

Ein herkömmlicher Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher ist z.B. in der DE 195 48 611 beschrieben. Die herkömmlichen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher halten Drücke von bis zu etwa 1100 bar aus.A conventional high-pressure fuel storage is eg in DE 195 48 611 described. The conventional high-pressure fuel storage can withstand pressures of up to about 1100 bar.

Aus der DE 198 08 894 A1 sind Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher bekannt, bei denen zur Erzeugung von Druckeigenspannungen der Innenraum des Grundkörpers im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen lokal nach innen verformt wird und diese Verformung anschließend durch spanabhebende Bearbeitung wieder entfernt wird. Dadurch erhält der fertige Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher seine ursprüngliche rohrförmige Gestalt wieder.From DE 198 08 894 A1 high-pressure fuel storage are known in which the interior of the body is deformed locally in the region of the connection openings to generate compressive residual stresses and this deformation is then removed by machining again. As a result, the finished high-pressure fuel storage is restored to its original tubular shape.

Aus der DE 198 08 807 A1 und der JP 10318086 ist ein sehr dickwandiger Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher bekannt bei dem durch eine Abflachung des inneren Querschnitts im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen eine ebene Fläche geschaffen wird.From DE 198 08 807 A1 and JP 10318086 a very thick-walled high-pressure fuel storage is known in which a flat surface is created by a flattening of the inner cross section in the region of the connection openings.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die Hochdruckfestigkeit der bekannten Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher mit einfachen Maßnahmen zu erhöhen.The object of the invention is to increase the high pressure resistance of the known high-pressure fuel storage with simple measures.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einem Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher für ein Common-Rail-Kraftstoffeinspritzsystem einer Brennkraftmaschine durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Im Verschneidungsbereich treten im Betrieb Spannungsspitzen auf, die zu Rissbildungen im Grundkörper führen können. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung wird die Hochdruckfestigkeit des Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers erhöht, ohne dass dessen Bauvolumen wesentlich zunimmt. Die Druckfestigkeit des Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers nimmt nämlich zu, wenn das Verhältnis zwischen dem Innendurchmesser des Grundkörpers und dem Innendurchmesser der Anschlussöffnungen möglichst groß gewählt wird. Die lokale Erweiterung des Grundkörperinnendurchmessers führt zu einer Erhöhung dieses Durchmesserverhältnisses im kritischen Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen, ohne dass die Außenabmessungen des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers zunehmen.The object is achieved in a high-pressure fuel accumulator for a common rail fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine by the features of claim 1. In the intersection area, voltage peaks occur during operation, which can lead to cracking in the main body. By the solution according to the invention, the high-pressure resistance of the high-pressure fuel accumulator is increased without the volume of construction significantly increases. Namely, the compressive strength of the high-pressure fuel accumulator increases when the ratio between the inner diameter of the main body and the inner diameter of the port openings is made as large as possible. The local extension of the base body inner diameter leads to an increase in this diameter ratio in the critical region of the connection openings without the outer dimensions of the high-pressure fuel accumulator according to the invention increasing.

Eine besondere Ausführungsart des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers sieht vor, dass an dem Grundkörper Anschlussstutzen mit einer Anschlussbohrung ausgebildet sind, deren Mittellinie senkrecht zu der ebenen Fläche im Bereich der Anschlussöffnung angeordnet ist. Das liefert den Vorteil, dass die Spannungsspitzen im Verschneidungsbereich minimiert werden.A particular embodiment of the high-pressure fuel accumulator according to the invention provides that on the main body connecting pieces are formed with a connection bore whose center line is arranged perpendicular to the flat surface in the region of the connection opening. This provides the advantage of minimizing stress spikes in the intersection area.

Die oben angegebene Aufgabe ist bei einem Verfahren zum Herstellen des vorab beschriebenen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers dadurch gelöst, dass der rohrförmige Grundkörper im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen über den gesamten Umfang so nach innen verformt wird, dass er nach innen vorspringt und dass der nach innen vorspringende Bereich bearbeitet wird, um im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen eine ebene Fläche auszubilden. Dadurch wird auf einfache Art und Weise eine lokale Erweiterung des Grundkörperinnendurchmessers nur im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen erreicht.The above object is achieved in a method for producing the above-described high-pressure fuel storage in that the tubular body in the region of the connection openings over the entire circumference is deformed inwardly so that it projects inwards and that the inwardly projecting region is machined to form a flat surface in the region of the connection openings. As a result, a local expansion of the basic body inner diameter is achieved in a simple manner only in the region of the connection openings.

Eine besondere Ausführungsart des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Innenraum des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers im Bereich der Anschlussöffnungen mit Hilfe eines elektrochemischen Abtragverfahrens (ECM, Electro-Chemical Machining) bearbeitet wird. Die Anwendung dieses Verfahrens hat sich in der Praxis als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen.A particular embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that the interior of the tubular base body is processed in the region of the connection openings by means of an electrochemical removal method (ECM, Electro-Chemical Machining). The application of this method has proved to be particularly advantageous in practice.

In the tubular base body 1, a longitudinal bore 2 forms the storage volume. On the tubular base body 1, a connection piece 3 is formed, in which a connection bore 4 extends transversely to the longitudinal axis of the tubular base body 1. The connection bore 4 opens into the longitudinal bore 2.

Ein Bereich 5 des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 wurde mit Hilfe eines Material abtragenden Bearbeitungsverfahrens entfernt. Auf diese Art und Weise wurde im Mündungsbereich der Anschlussbohrung 4 eine ebene Fläche 6 geschaffen. Die ebene Fläche 6 erstreckt sich senkrecht zur Mitellinie der Anschlussbohrung 4. Die Kontur des zylinderförmigen Innenraums des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 ist in Fig. 1 gestrichelt angedeutet.An area 5 of the tubular base body 1 was removed by means of a material-removing machining process.

Der die Anschlussbohrung 4 umgebende Bereich 8 der äußeren Mantelfläche des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 ist über den gesamten Umfang des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 mit Hilfe eines entsprechenden Werkzeugs eingedrückt. Die Verformung der äußeren Mantelfläche des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 führt dazu, dass im Inneren des rohrförmigen Grundkörpers 1 ein ringförmiger Bereich 9 vorspringt, der in Fig. 3 gestrichelt dargestellt ist. Der vorspringende Bereich 9 ist im Mündungsbereich der Anschlussbohrung 4 so abgetragen, dass sich eine ebene Fläche 6 ergibt.The area surrounding the connection bore 4 8 of the outer surface of the tubular body 1 is pressed over the entire circumference of the tubular body 1 by means of a corresponding tool. The deformation of the outer circumferential surface of the tubular base body 1 causes the interior of the tubular body 1 projecting an annular region 9, which is shown in dashed lines in Fig. 3.

In Fig. 4 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffhochdruckspeichers im Längsschnitt dargestellt.

ECM (Electro-Chemical Machining) ist die englische Bezeichnung für elektrochemisches Abtragen. Das elektrochemische Abtragen, das auch als Elysieren bezeichnet wird, ist ein Abtragverfahren, bei dem metallischer Werkstoff unter Einwirkung eines elektrischen Stroms und einer Elektrolytlösung anodisch aufgelöst wird. Der Stromfluss kann dabei durch eine äußere Stomquelle, aber auch durch eine Lokalelementbildung am Werkstück (innere Spannungsquelle) bewirkt werden. Das Wirkprinzip des anodischen Metallauflösens beruht auf elektrochemischen Reaktionen, bei denen Metallionen aus der Metallphase in die Elektrolytphase oder in eine Reaktionsproduktphase übergehen. Diese Reaktionen werden durch Ladungsaustauschvorgänge in Gang gesetzt und folgen der inneren Kinetik eines galvanischen Elements.ECM (Electro-Chemical Machining) is the English term for electrochemical ablation. The Electrochemical removal, also referred to as elution, is an ablation process in which metallic material is anodically dissolved under the action of an electric current and an electrolyte solution. The current flow can be effected by an external current source, but also by a local element formation on the workpiece (internal voltage source). The mode of action of anodic metal dissolution is based on electrochemical reactions in which metal ions pass from the metal phase into the electrolyte phase or into a reaction product phase. These reactions are initiated by charge exchange processes and follow the internal kinetics of a galvanic element.

Dadurch wird eine maximale Hochdruckfestigkeit bei minimiertem Bauvolumen erzielt.According to the present invention, the inner diameter of the tubular base body 1 acting on the intersection between the longitudinal bore 2 and the connecting bore 4 is widened locally, i. made as large as possible, without the high-pressure fuel storage according to the invention assumes extreme external dimensions. As a result, a maximum high-pressure resistance is achieved with minimal construction volume.
