Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Brennstoffeinspritzventil nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention is based on a fuel injector according to the genus of the main claim.

Aus der DE 32 28 079 A1 ist ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil bekannt, das zwei Ventilnadeln aufweist und durch diese mehrere Abspritzöffnungen getrennt steuern kann. Die Ventilnadeln werden dabei von jeweils einer Feder gegen jeweils einen Dichtsitz mit einer Vorspannungskraft beaufschlagt. Wird die eine Ventilnadel um einen gewissen Vorhub aus ihrem Dichtsitz angehoben, so schlägt sie gegen einen Anschlag der anderen Ventilnadel an und nimmt beim weiteren Hub diese Ventilnadel mit. Die beiden Dichtsitze der beiden Ventilnadeln verschließen unterschiedliche Abspritzöffnungen, die unter unterschiedlichen Winkeln ausgerichtet sein können. Jedoch ist der Aufbau vielteilig, und es müssen zwei Dichtsitze präzise hergestellt werden, wodurch hohe Kosten entstehen.DE 32 28 079 A1 describes a fuel injector known that has two valve needles and through this can control several spray orifices separately. The Valve needles are each countered by a spring one sealing seat each with a preload force applied. If the one valve needle by a certain The forward stroke is lifted out of its sealing seat, so it hits against a stop on the other valve needle and takes at another stroke with this valve needle. The two sealing seats of the two valve needles close different Spray orifices at different angles can be aligned. However, the structure is multi-part, and two sealing seats have to be manufactured precisely, which creates high costs.

Aus der DE 30 48 304 A1 ist ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil für Brennkraftmaschinen mit einer Ventilnadel und einer Hilfsnadel in einer Bohrung der Ventilnadel bekannt. Die Ventilnadel wirkt an ihrem brennraumseitig als Ventilschließkörper ausgebildeten Abschnitt mit einer Ventilsitzfläche zu einem Dichtsitz zusammen, der Abspritzbohrungen von einem Brennstoffzulauf trennt. Die in der Ventilnadel geführte Hilfsnadel weist ebenfalls einen Ventilschließkörper auf, der mit einer zweiten Ventilsitzfläche des Brennstoffeinspritzventils zusammenwirkt. Durch eine in der Ventilnadel gelegene Feder wird die Hilfsnadel gegen die Ventilnadel gezogen, zu der hin sie ebenfalls mit einer Ventilsitzfläche in der Ventilnadel einen Dichtsitz bildet. Wenn das hydraulisch betätigte Brennstoffeinspritzventil durch Anstieg des Druckes, in der Brennstoffzuleitung zu öffnen beginnt, so wird die Hilfsnadel aus ihrem Dichtsitz in der Ventilnadel gegen den Dichtsitz im Ventilkörper gedrückt und verschließt eine Gruppe von Abspritzbohrungen, während eine weitere Gruppe von Abspritzbohrungen geöffnet ist. Steigt der Druck weiter an, so wird die Ventilnadel von ihrem Dichtsitz abgehoben und nimmt nach einem bestimmten Hub die Hilfsnadel mit, die gegen einen Anschlag der Ventilnadel anschlägt. Alle Abspritzbohrungen werden dann freigegeben. Nachteilig ist, daß insgesamt drei präzise zu fertigende Dichtsitze erforderlich sind.DE 30 48 304 A1 describes a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines with one valve needle and one Auxiliary needle in a bore of the valve needle known. The Valve needle acts as on its combustion chamber side Valve closing body trained section with a Valve seat surface together to form a sealing seat, the Separates spray bores from a fuel feed. In the the valve needle guided auxiliary also has one Valve closing body with a second Valve seat surface of the fuel injector interacts. By a spring located in the valve needle the auxiliary needle is pulled against the valve needle to which hin also with a valve seat in the Valve needle forms a sealing seat. If that's hydraulic actuated fuel injector by increasing the Pressure in the fuel supply line begins to open, so the auxiliary needle is removed from its sealing seat in the valve needle pressed against the sealing seat in the valve body and closes one group of spray bores while another Group of spray bores is open. The pressure increases further on, the valve needle will come out of its sealing seat lifted and takes the auxiliary needle after a certain stroke with which strikes against a stop of the valve needle. All spray bores are then released. adversely is that a total of three precisely fitting sealing seats required are.

Aus der DE 31 20 044 C2 ist ebenfalls ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit zwei Ventilnadeln bekannt, mit dem Abspritzöffnungen in zwei Gruppen geöffnet werden können. Dabei wird die eine Ventilnadel im Inneren der anderen, als Hohlnadel ausgebildeten Ventilnadel geführt. Diese als Hohlnadel ausgebildete Ventilnadel weist an ihrem brennraumseitigen Ende Abspritzbohrungen auf. Nachteilig ist, daß die Hohlnadel sehr aufwendig zu fertigen ist, da sie auch Abspritzbohrungen aufweist und somit an einem Bauteil zwei Funktionen, die jeweils eine präzise Herstellung des Bauteils erfordern, vereint sind.From DE 31 20 044 C2 is also a Fuel injector known with two valve needles, with spray openings are opened in two groups can. The one valve needle inside the other valve needle designed as a hollow needle. This valve needle, which is designed as a hollow needle, has on it Spray bores on the combustion chamber end. adversely is that the hollow needle is very expensive to manufacture because it also has spray bores and thus on one Component two functions, each one precise Require manufacture of the component, are united.

Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, eine kostengünstige und fertigungstechnisch gut umzusetzende Lösung für nacheinander zu öffnende Gruppen von Abspritzöffnungen zu bieten, da die weitere Gruppe von Abspritzöffnungen zu ihrem getrennten Öffnen keinen weiteren präzise zu fertigenden Dichtsitz erfordert.The fuel injector according to the invention with the characteristic features of claim 1 has in contrast the advantage of an inexpensive and technically good Solution to be implemented for groups of Spray orifices to offer as the wider group of No more spray openings for their separate opening requires a precisely manufactured sealing seat.

Insbesondere kann der Winkel, unter dem sich der Brennstoff im Strahlbild des Brennstoffeinspritzventils verteilt, in Abhängigkeit von dem Ventilhub verändert werden.In particular, the angle at which the fuel is distributed in the spray pattern of the fuel injector, in Dependent on the valve stroke can be changed.

Durch die in den Uriteransprüchen angegebenen Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Brennstoffeinspritzventils möglich.By the measures specified in the Uriter claims advantageous developments and improvements in Claim 1 specified fuel injector possible.

Vorteilhaft kann durch Zungen der Tellerfeder ein erster Lochkreis aus Abspritzöffnungen überdeckt werden. Weitere Abspritzöffnungen können insbesondere verschiedene Abspritzwinkel aufweisen und zueinander um einen umfänglichen Winkel versetzt sein. Vorteilhaft kann so bei geringer Einspritzmenge und Last der Brennkraftmaschine zunächst nur eine bestimmte Anzahl Abspritzöffnungen geöffnet werden, die einen engen Abspritzwinkel der Abspritzöffnungen aufweist, so daß sich ein Brennstoffeinspritzstrahl bildet, bestehend aus Brennstoffstrahlen der Abspritzöffnungen, der einen insgesamt engen Winkel aufweist. Bei höherer Last der Brennkraftmaschine und entsprechenden Erfordernissen im Schichtladebetrieb einer mit Magermixkonzept betriebenen Brennkraftmaschine werden auch die Abspritzöffnungen des weiteren Lochkreises geöffnet. Diese können in einem größerem Abspritzwinkel angeordnet sein. Der Brennstoffeinspritzstrahl, der insgesamt eingespritzt wird, wird unter einem größeren Winkel abgegeben.A first can be advantageous by tongues of the plate spring Bolt circle from spray openings are covered. Further Spray openings can in particular be different Have spray angle and one another circumferential angle. So can be advantageous at low injection quantity and load of the internal combustion engine initially only a certain number of spray orifices be opened, the narrow spray angle of the Spray openings, so that a Fuel injection jet consists of Jets of fuel, one overall has narrow angles. At higher loads the Internal combustion engine and corresponding requirements in Stratified charge operation of one operated with a lean mix concept Internal combustion engine are also the spray openings of the open further bolt circle. These can be done in one larger spray angle can be arranged. The Fuel injection jet, which is injected as a whole, is delivered at a larger angle.

Eine Ventilnadel 5 weist an ihrem dem nicht dargestellten Brennraum zugewandten Ende einen Ventilschließkörper 6 auf. Dieser Ventilschließkörper 6 ist über eine Schweißnaht 7 mit der Ventilnadel 5 verbunden. Der Ventilschließkörper 6 wirkt mit einer im Ventilkörper 1 vorgesehenen z. B. kegelstumpfförmigen Ventilsitzfläche 8 zu einem Dichtsitz 9 zusammen. In einer inneren Ausnehmung 10 in der Ventilnadel 5 ist ein Druckelement 11 vorhanden, das sich über eine Feder 12 gegen die Ventilnadel 5 abstützt. Das im Ausführungsbeispiel als Stufenzylinder ausgebildete Druckelement 11 drückt auf ein Federelement, hier eine Tellerfeder 13, die radial zur Mitte hin mehrere Zungen 14 aufweist. Das Druckelement 11 drückt auf den inneren Rand dieser Zungen 14. Dadurch wird die Tellerfeder 13 an den Ventilsitzkörper 22, im Ausführungsbeispiel an die Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2, gedrückt. A valve body 1 is provided with an injection orifice plate 2, has the spray openings 4, via a weld seam 3 connected and forms together with this one Valve seat body 22. A valve needle 5 has the End not shown combustion chamber facing one Valve closing body 6. This valve closing body 6 is connected to the valve needle 5 via a weld 7. The Valve closing body 6 interacts with one in valve body 1 provided z. B. frustoconical valve seat 8 a sealing seat 9 together. In an inner recess 10 in the valve needle 5 there is a pressure element 11 which is supported by a spring 12 against the valve needle 5. The one designed as a stepped cylinder in the exemplary embodiment Pressure element 11 presses on a spring element, here one Disc spring 13, which has a plurality of tongues 14 radially towards the center having. The pressure element 11 presses on the inner edge of these tongues 14. This is the plate spring 13 to the Valve seat body 22, in the exemplary embodiment to the Spray hole plate 2 pressed.

Fig. 1 zeigt das Brennstoffeinspritzventil in geschlossenem Zustand. Dabei ist die Tellerfeder 13 durch, das Druckelement 11 gegenüber ihrer Form in unbelastetem Zustand flach gepresst, und die Zungen 14 überdecken unter den Zungen 14 angeordnete äußere Abspritzöffnungen 15.Fig. 1 shows the fuel injector in the closed Status. The plate spring 13 is through, the pressure element 11 flat compared to their shape in the unloaded state pressed, and the tongues 14 overlap under the tongues 14 arranged outer spray openings 15.

Das Druckelement 11 weist einen Bund 16 auf, der als Anschlag dient. Der mit der Ventilnadel 5 durch die Schweißnaht 7 verbundene Ventilschließkörper 6 bildet die als Gegenanschlag dienende Abstufung 17 in der Ausnehmung 10. Nach einem Teilhub h1 der Ventilnadel 5 kommen Bund 16 und Abstufung 17 aneinander zu liegen.The pressure element 11 has a collar 16 which serves as a stop. The valve closing body 6 connected to the valve needle 5 by the weld 7 forms the step 17 serving as a counterstop in the recess 10. After a partial stroke h 1 of the valve needle 5, the collar 16 and step 17 come to lie against one another.

In Fig. 2 ist dasselbe Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt. Die Zeichnung zeigt denselben Ausschnitt, daher sind gleiche Teile mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen. Jedoch ist das Brennstoffeinspritzventil in voll geöffnetem Zustand dargestellt.2 is the same embodiment of the invention shown. The drawing shows the same detail, hence the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals. However, the fuel injector is fully open State shown.

In voll geöffnetem Zustand liegt der Bund 16 an der Abstufung 17 an und das Druckelement 11 wird von der Ventilnadel 5 mitgenommen. An dem Ventilsitzkörper 22, im Ausführungsbeispiel an der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2, liegt die Tellerfeder 13 an. Das Druckelement 11 ist gegenüber dem geschlossenen Zustand des Brennstoffeinspritzventils, wie er in Fig. 1 dargestellt ist, von der Ventilnadel 5 über den Bund 16 und der an dem Bund 16 anliegenden Abstufung 17 von der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 abgehoben und übt auf die Zungen 14 der Tellerfeder 13 keine Kraft aus. Die Tellerfeder 13 nimmt daher die ihrer Vorspannung entsprechende Form an und gibt die unter den Zungen 14 angeordneten, von den Zungen 14 bisher überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 frei.In the fully opened state, the collar 16 lies on the Gradation 17 and the pressure element 11 is of the Valve needle 5 taken away. On the valve seat body 22, in Embodiment on the spray hole plate 2 is the plate spring 13. The pressure element 11 is opposite closed state of the fuel injector as he is shown in Fig. 1, from the valve needle 5 via the Bund 16 and the gradation 17 adjacent to the Bund 16 the spray hole plate 2 is lifted and exercises on the Tongues 14 of the plate spring 13 no force. The Disc spring 13 therefore takes their bias appropriate form and gives the under the tongues 14th arranged, so far covered by the tongues 14 Spray openings 15 free.

Fig. 3 zeigt die Schnittebene III-III der Fig. 1. In der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 sind die Abspritzöffnungen 4 und eine zentrale Abspritzöffnung 18 sowie die von den Zungen 14 der Tellerfeder 13 überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 angeordnet, die in der Aufsicht von den Zungen 14 verdeckt sind und daher gestrichelt angedeutet sind. Diese überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 sind in einem ersten äußeren Lochkreis 19 angeordnet, dessen mittlere Umfangslinie gestrichelt eingezeichnet ist. Die nicht überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 4 sind in einem zweiten inneren Lochkreis 20 angeordnet, dessen mittlere Umfangslinie ebenfalls gestrichelt eingezeichnet ist. Die Tellerfeder 13 ist im zusammengedrückten Zustand, entsprechend einem vollständig geschlossenem Brennstoffeinspritzventil, dargestellt. Es liegen dann alle Zungen 14 an der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 an.Fig. 3 shows the section plane III-III of Fig. 1. In the Spray hole plate 2 are the spray openings 4 and a central spray opening 18 and that of the tongues 14 the plate spring 13 covered spray openings 15 arranged, which is covered by the tongues 14 in supervision are and are therefore indicated by dashed lines. This covered spray openings 15 are in a first outer bolt circle 19 arranged, the middle The circumferential line is drawn with a broken line. They don't covered spray openings 4 are in a second inner bolt circle 20 arranged, the middle Circumferential line is also shown in dashed lines. The Belleville spring 13 is in the compressed state, corresponding to a completely closed one Fuel injector, shown. Then they all lie Tongues 14 on the spray hole plate 2.

Im geschlossenen Zustand des Brennstoffeinspritzventils sind alle Abspritzöffnungen 4, 15 durch den Dichtsitz 9 abgedichtet. Wird die Ventilnadel 5 durch einen hier nicht dargestellten Aktor (elektromagnetisch, piezoelektrisch oder magnetostriktiv) aus dem Dichtsitz 9 angehoben, so wird der Brennstoffzulauf zu den Abspritzöffnungen 4 und der zentralen Abspritzöffnung 18 freigegeben, jedoch sind die von den Zungen 14 der Tellerfeder 13 überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 weiterhin verschlossen. Das Druckelement 11 drückt die Zungen 14 gegen die Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 und verschließt die überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15.Are in the closed state of the fuel injector all spray openings 4, 15 through the sealing seat 9 sealed. If the valve needle 5 is not here shown actuator (electromagnetic, piezoelectric or magnetostrictive) from the sealing seat 9, so the Fuel feed to the spray openings 4 and central spray opening 18 released, however, the covered by the tongues 14 of the plate spring 13 Spray openings 15 are still closed. The Pressure element 11 presses the tongues 14 against the Spray hole plate 2 and closes the covered Spray openings 15.

Nach dem Teilhub h1 (Fig. 1) der Ventilnadel 5 schlägt der Bund 16 des Druckelements 11 gegen die Abstufung 17 in der Ventilnadel 5. Bei der weiteren Hubbewegung der Ventilnadel 5 wird das Druckelement 11 von der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 angehoben. Die Zungen 14 wölben sich aufgrund der Eigenspannung der Tellerfeder 13 von der Abspritzbohrungsplatte 2 weg und geben die bisher überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 frei. Durch die Größe des weiteren Hubes kann das Maß, wie weit sich die Zungen 14 aufwölben, bestimmt werden. Dadurch wird jedoch auch der Durchflußquerschnitt zu den überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 festgelegt. Wenn die Ventilnadel 5 nur mit einem Hub kleiner als h1 angehoben wird, werden nur die nicht überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 4 geöffnet, sofern die Federkraft der Feder 12 größer als die Federkraft der Tellerfeder 13 ausgelegt ist.After the partial stroke h 1 (FIG. 1) of the valve needle 5, the collar 16 of the pressure element 11 strikes against the step 17 in the valve needle 5. During the further stroke movement of the valve needle 5, the pressure element 11 is lifted from the injection orifice plate 2. The tongues 14 bulge away from the spray hole plate 2 due to the internal stress of the plate spring 13 and expose the previously covered spray openings 15. The extent to which the tongues 14 bulge can be determined by the size of the further stroke. However, this also defines the flow cross-section to the covered spray openings 15. If the valve needle 5 is only raised with a stroke less than h 1 , only the uncovered spray openings 4 are opened, provided that the spring force of the spring 12 is greater than the spring force of the plate spring 13.

Durch unterschiedliche Auslegung der Winkel, unter denen die überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 15 und nicht überdeckten Abspritzöffnungen 4, 18 eingebracht sind, kann der Winkel eines Brennstoffeinspritzkegels insgesamt,beeinflußt werden. Vorteilhaft ermöglicht die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung eines Brennstoffeinspritzventils eine hohe Schaltfrequenz; durch die geringen bewegten Massen ist ein schnelles Ansprechen gewährleistet. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung ist auch kostengünstig zu realisieren.By different interpretation of the angles at which the covered spray openings 15 and not covered Spray openings 4, 18 are introduced, the angle of a fuel injection cone as a whole. The embodiment according to the invention advantageously enables a Fuel injector a high switching frequency; by the low moving masses is a quick response guaranteed. The embodiment of the invention is also to implement inexpensively.

Bei einem weiteren, nicht in einer Zeichnung dargestellten günstigen Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Tellerfeder 13 so geformt, daß sie durch geeignete Flächen nicht nur Abspritzöffnungen des ersten Lochkreises 19, sondern auch Abspritzöffnungen des zweiten Lochkreises 20 überdeckt und bei Entlastung die Abspritzöffnungen 4,15 der unterschiedlichen Lochkreise 19,20 nacheinander freigibt, indem sich Teile der Tellerfeder 13 von dem Lochkreis 20 bereits bei geringerer Entlastung hochwölben als von den Abspritzöffnungen des anderen Lochkreises 19, die von anderen Teilen der Tellerfeder 13 überdeckt werden.In another, not shown in a drawing Favorable embodiment is the plate spring 13 so shaped that not only by suitable surfaces Spray openings of the first bolt circle 19, but also Spray openings of the second bolt circle 20 covered and the discharge openings 4.15 of the releases different bolt circles 19, 20 in succession, by parts of the plate spring 13 from the bolt circle 20 arch up with less relief than from Spray openings of the other bolt circle 19, the other parts of the plate spring 13 are covered.
