Definitions

• the invention is based on a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, in which fuel is fed from a high-pressure fuel source via a control valve to an injection opening.
• fuel injection devices which are widely known in practice and which are used in particular in Com on-Rail systems
• the supply of fuel to the injection opening which is usually designed as a nozzle holder arrangement
• Valve controlled which can be balanced or partially balanced.
• slide valves which have control edges for releasing and covering feeds and discharges, is disadvantageous because of the large leakages which result from the usually small cover.
• An essential advantage of the fuel injection device according to the invention is the structure of the control valve, which allows the valve to be implemented with essentially one valve body, in which a suitable component, preferably a sleeve according to claim 3, can be used to form the second valve seat and the second guide ,
• control valve is correspondingly simple, especially since the valve body and the counterpart forming the second valve seat, e.g. the sleeve according to claim 3, can be advantageously manufactured in one setting. This ensures a high degree of fit between the components.
• FIG. 1 An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and we explained in more detail in the following description.
• the only figure in the drawing shows a schematic representation of a fuel injection device according to the invention with a Material supply from a high-pressure fuel accumulator, the construction of a control valve of the fuel injection device being shown in particular.
• the embodiment shown in the figure shows a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, which is designed as a common rail injector for injecting diesel fuel.
• the common rail system represents a high-pressure fuel source 1, which is designed with a high-pressure fuel reservoir 2, which is supplied with fuel by a high-pressure fuel delivery pump 3 from a fuel reservoir 4, which is compressed to injection pressure.
• a line 5 leads from the high-pressure fuel reservoir 2 to a control valve 6, from which the fuel for injection in turn leads to an injection opening 7, which is only symbolically indicated in the figure and can be designed in a conventional manner as a nozzle holder arrangement.
• control valve 6 In order to set the start of injection, an injection duration and an injection quantity via the fuel supply, the control valve 6 is designed with a valve member 8 which is controlled by a piezoelectric unit 9 designed as a piezoelectric actuator 9.
• the valve member 8 is designed like a plunger and is displaceably arranged in a longitudinal bore 11 of a valve body 10, wherein it has a valve head 12 with an enlarged cross section in a central region. which has a plate-like valve head sealing surface in both directions of movement, with which it interacts between a first, piezo-side valve seat 13 and an opposite second valve seat 14 in a first valve chamber 15.
• the line 5 leading from the high-pressure fuel source 1 opens into a second valve chamber 16 which adjoins the first valve seat 13 and which, when the valve member 8 is in contact with the first valve seat 13, from the longitudinal bore 11 and an annular groove-like shape 17 of the valve member 8 is formed.
• This second valve chamber 16 is adjoined on the piezo side by a first guide 18 of the valve member 8 in the valve body 10, which has the same diameter as the first valve seat 13.
• valve member 8 With its piezo-side end, the valve member 8 plunges into a hydraulic chamber 19 serving as a hydraulic transmission, via which the deflections of the piezoelectric actuator 9 are transmitted to the valve member 8 and which also serves as a compensation element for temperature-related expansion fluctuations of the components surrounding them.
• annular space 20 is provided around the valve member 8, from which a leakage line 21 leads away.
• a gap around the valve member 8 which is formed by an inner annular groove 32 in the sleeve 23 and a bevel 33 connecting this annular groove 32 to the end of the valve member 8 on the valve member 8.
• the control valve 6 which is a 3/2 valve, is in the closed state, i.e. in abutment with the first valve seat 13. Since in addition the second valve seat 14 and the second guide 28 have the same diameter as the first valve seat 13 and the first guide 18, the control valve 6 is also designed to be force-balanced in the open state in which fuel flows via the line 22 to the nozzle opening 7, ie that no hydraulic force acts to displace the valve member 8.
• the second guide 28 is installed with a play that is a factor of 2 to 3 greater than the play of the first guide.
• a different game which is greater, for example, by a factor of 2 to 5 than the game of the first guide 18, can be provided, the first guide 18 preferably having a game of 1 ⁇ m to 4 ⁇ m and the second guide 28 can have a clearance of 4 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m.
• the fuel injection device according to the figure of the drawing works in the manner described below.

• valve member 8 is moved back against the first valve seat 13 by the spring 29, the sealing function on the second valve seat 14 being canceled.
• leakage oil is supplied to the leakage line 30 via the line 31, which is formed from the annular groove 32 and the bevel 33 on the valve member 8, as a result of which the system is relieved when the control valve 6 is closed.
• a force-balanced 3/2 control valve 6 is provided for a pressure-controlled common rail injector system, which is easy to assemble and enables high-precision injections.
