Definitions
- Injection valve for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine
- the invention relates to an injection valve for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, as is required in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such an injection valve is known, for example, from US 5,832,899.
- the housing of the injection valve consists of a nozzle part with the injection openings and a nozzle holder, to which the nozzle part is attached with a screw sleeve.
- a longitudinally displaceably guided nozzle needle is accommodated in a bore in the nozzle part. Clamped between the nozzle holder and the nozzle part there is an insert which delimits a control space on one side in which the nozzle needle lies with its rear end facing away from the injection holes.
- the insert On the opposite side, the insert has a drain opening, which is connected to the control chamber via a central hole and a drain throttle.
- control chamber Via an inlet throttle, the control chamber is connected to a fuel channel, which supplies fuel under pressure to a nozzle antechamber located in front of the injection holes.
- fuel pressure that acts on the back of the nozzle needle when the drain opening is closed holds in association with one
- Valve closing spring the nozzle needle in contact with the valve seat in the nozzle part so that no injection takes place. If the discharge opening controlled by a control valve is released, the fuel pressure in the control chamber drops and the nozzle needle lifts off its valve seat due to the fuel acting on the front of the nozzle needle and under the injection pressure.
- a disadvantage of the illustrated injection valve is that a large dead volume is formed by the closing spring located in the control chamber and acting on the back of the nozzle needle.
- the reaction of the injector to switching commands depends on the size of the dead volume of the control room. If, for example, an injection is to be initiated, the dead volume must first be relaxed, for which purpose a time period is required which increases the reaction time of the start of injection to the control command. Conversely, the dead volume also causes the reaction time to be extended when the injection valve is closed to end the injection. Long Response times affect the accuracy of the injection and impair the suitability of the injector for pre-injection.
- the invention is based on the problem of specifying a closing spring arrangement with a simple construction, which on the one hand has a compact construction of the
- the object is achieved in that the closing spring is provided on the circumference of the nozzle needle below the nozzle needle guide outside the control chamber.
- the closing spring allows a compact design of the injection valve without having to accept a complex construction.
- the end face of a guide sleeve serves as an abutment for the closing spring on the housing side.
- the nozzle needle is advantageously designed with a circumferential groove in which an inwardly spring-loaded ring engages, on which the spring plate of the closing spring can be supported.
- Figure 1 a longitudinal section through the injection valve according to the invention in the region of the nozzle part
- Figure 2 a nozzle needle with an integrally formed edge as an abutment.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of an injection valve 1 in the area of the nozzle part 2.
- the nozzle part 2, which contains the injection holes 3, is fastened to the nozzle holder 4, which is not fully illustrated, by means of a screw sleeve 5.
- a nozzle needle 17 is axially movable.
- the nozzle needle 17 lies with a nozzle needle shaft 19 in a guide sleeve 20 forming a guide 26, which in turn is arranged in a housing bore 21 of the nozzle part 2.
- the nozzle holder 4 contains an electromagnetic control valve (not shown), the armature of which is connected to an actuator 6.
- the Actuator 6, which is also only partially shown, can be designed in the form of a rod, the end face of which, as shown, cooperates with a drain opening 7.
- the discharge opening 7 is connected to a control chamber 11 via a discharge throttle 8 and a bore 9 in an insert part 10 between the nozzle holder 4 and the nozzle part 2.
- the control chamber 11 is connected via a further bore 12 and an inlet throttle 13 to a fuel inlet channel 14, via which fuel under the injection pressure is fed to a nozzle antechamber 15, which is located upstream of the injection holes 3.
- the nozzle needle 17 Due to the fuel pressure acting on the outlet opening 7 in the control chamber 11 and thus also on the rear of the nozzle needle and the prestressed closing spring 16 also acting in the closing direction, the nozzle needle 17 is held pressed against the valve seat 18 in the nozzle part 2 so that no injection takes place. If the actuator 6 is withdrawn and the discharge opening 7 is thus released, the pressure in the control chamber 11 drops. The fuel flowing out via the discharge opening 7 reaches a return channel 25 shown in broken lines. The speed at which the pressure drop opens and the pressure increase closes the Injection valve takes place in the control room 11 should be as high as possible in order to allow a quick reaction of the injection valve 1 to the switching commands.
- control chamber 11 remains free of internals and thus has a small dead volume, which is made possible by the arrangement of the closing spring 16 on the circumference of the nozzle needle.
- the arrangement of the closing spring 16 on the circumference of the nozzle needle 17 allows a simple construction of the injection valve 1, in particular a compact design being possible.
- the abutments required to support the closing spring 16 are formed on the house side according to FIG. 1 by the guide sleeve 20 of the nozzle needle shaft 19.
- the closing spring 16 is supported on an end face of the guide sleeve 20.
- the abutment can be formed, for example, by a circumferential groove 22 and a ring 23 which is locked therein and resiliently radially inward.
- FIG. 2 there is also the possibility of representing the abutment on the nozzle needle 17 by means of an edge 24 formed integrally with the nozzle needle 17.
