KraftstoffeinspritzventilFuel injection valve
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftstoffeinspritzventil mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a fuel injection valve with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiges Kraftstoffeinspritzventil, welches auch als Injektor bezeichnet wird, ist beispielsweise aus der DE 196 50 865 AI bekannt und wird in Kraftstoffeinspritzanlagen ver- wandt, die mit einem Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher ausgerüstet sind. Bei dem bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzventil wird eine Ventilnadel über einen Stößel von in einem Steuerdruckraum herrschenden Kraftstoffdruck in Schließrichtung belastet. Der Steuerdruckraum ist in einem in das Ventilgehäuse eingesetz- ten Ventilstück angeordnet und über einen mit einer Zulaufdrossel versehenen Zulaufkanal mit einem Kraftstoffhochdruckanschluß und über einen mit einer Ablaufdrossel versehenen Ablaufkanal mit einem Kraftstoffniederdruckanschluß verbunden. Mit einem Steuerventilglied eines Steuerventils, welches als Antrieb beispielsweise einen Magnetsteller oder einenSuch a fuel injection valve, which is also referred to as an injector, is known, for example, from DE 196 50 865 A1 and is used in fuel injection systems which are equipped with a high-pressure fuel accumulator. In the known fuel injection valve, a valve needle is loaded via a tappet by fuel pressure prevailing in a control pressure chamber in the closing direction. The control pressure chamber is arranged in a valve piece inserted into the valve housing and connected to a high-pressure fuel connection via an inlet channel provided with an inlet throttle and to a low-pressure fuel connection via an outlet channel provided with an outlet throttle. With a control valve member of a control valve, which as a drive, for example, a magnetic actuator or
Piezosteller hat, kann der Ablauf anal geschlossen und geöffnet werden und so der Kraftstoffdruck im Steuerdruckraum für die einzelnen Betätigungsvorgänge der Ventilnadel gesteuert werden. Die Öffnungsgeschwindigkeit der Ventilnadel wird bei geöffnetem Ablauf anal durch den Durchflußunterschied zwi- sehen Zulaufdrossel und Ablaufdrossel und damit letztlich durch das Größenverhältnis von Zulauf- und Ablaufdrossel bestimmt. Daher müssen die Zulaufdrossel und die Ablaufdrossel mit sehr großer Präzision in dem Ventilstück ausgebildet wer- den. Liegen die geometrischen Abmessungen der Zulaufdrossel nicht innerhalb der geforderten Genauigkeit, so muß das Kraftstoffeinspritzventil demontiert und beispielsweise ein neues Ventilstück mit angepaßter Zulaufdrossel gefertigt werden oder durch eine Hubveränderung des Steuerventilgliedes der Kraftstoffabfluß aus dem Steuerdruckraum angepaßt werden.Piezosteller has, the drain can be closed and opened anal and thus the fuel pressure in the control pressure chamber for the individual actuation processes of the valve needle can be controlled. When the drain is open, the opening speed of the valve needle is determined by the flow difference between see inlet throttle and outlet throttle and thus ultimately determined by the size ratio of inlet and outlet throttle. Therefore, the inlet throttle and the outlet throttle must be formed in the valve piece with great precision. If the geometric dimensions of the inlet throttle are not within the required accuracy, the fuel injection valve must be dismantled and, for example, a new valve piece with an adapted inlet throttle must be manufactured or the fuel outflow from the control pressure chamber must be adjusted by changing the stroke of the control valve member.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffeinspritzventil mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 werden diese Nachteile vermieden.These disadvantages are avoided by the fuel injection valve according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1.
Dies wird durch ein in einer Durchgangsöffnung des Ventilgehäuses angeordnetes, von außerhalb des Ventilgehäuses beweg- liches und fixierbares Stellglied erreicht, das mit einer dem Steuerdruckraum zugewandten Drosselnadel in eine Zulauföffnung des Zulauf anals einführbar ist . Durch das von außerhalb des Ventilgehäuses einstellbare Stellglied kann in einfacher Weise der Durchflußunterschied zwischen Zulauf- und Ablauf- drossel und damit die Öffnungsgeschwindigkeit der Ventilnadel eingestellt werden. So kann beispielsweise vorteilhaft bei einer Nachjustage des Injektors bei festgestellten Abweichungen vom vorgegebenen Kraftstoffdurchfluß zwischen Zulauf- und Ablaufdrossel mittels des von außen betätigbaren Stellgliedes durch schrittweises Einführen oder Entfernen der Drosselnadel aus der Zulauföffnung des Zulaufkanals der Durchflußquer- schnitt im Zulaufkanal und damit die Strömungseigenschaften des in den Steuerdruckraum einlaufenden Kraftstoffs eingestellt werden. Das Kraftstoffeinspritzventil muß hierfür nicht völlig zerlegt werden. Das erfindungsgemäße Kraftstof- feinspritzventil erlaubt somit eine einfache Nachjustage bei Mengenabweichungen im Prüffeld.This is achieved by an actuator arranged in a through opening of the valve housing and movable and fixable from the outside of the valve housing, which can be inserted into an inlet opening of the inlet with a throttle needle facing the control pressure chamber. The actuator, which can be adjusted from outside the valve housing, makes it easy to set the flow difference between the inlet and outlet throttle and thus the opening speed of the valve needle. For example, when the injector is readjusted if deviations from the specified fuel flow between the inlet and outlet throttle are detected, the actuator can be actuated from the outside by gradually inserting or removing the throttle needle from the inlet opening of the inlet channel, so that the flow cross-section in the inlet channel and thus the flow properties of the in the control pressure chamber incoming fuel can be set. The fuel injector does not have to be completely disassembled for this. The fuel according to the invention The fine spray valve thus allows easy readjustment in the event of quantity deviations in the test field.
Weiterentwicklungen und vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfin- düng werden durch die in den Unteransprüchen enthaltenen Merkmale ermöglicht.Further developments and advantageous designs of the invention are made possible by the features contained in the subclaims.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist, wenn das Stellglied in die Durchgangsöffnung des Ventilgehäuses einschraubbar ist . Durch ein- faches Einschrauben des Stellgliedes in die Durchgangsöffnung kann die Drosselnadel auf sehr einfache Weise präzise in die ZulaufÖffnung des Zulaufkanals eingeführt werden. Ebenso leicht kann durch eine Drehung des Stellgliedes in entgegengesetzter Richtung die Drosselnadel aus der Zulauföffnung ein Stück weit entfernt werden.It is particularly advantageous if the actuator can be screwed into the through opening of the valve housing. By simply screwing the actuator into the through opening, the throttle needle can be inserted very precisely into the inlet opening of the inlet channel. Just as easily, the throttle needle can be removed from the inlet opening by rotating the actuator in the opposite direction.
Vorteilhaft kann die das Stellglied aufnehmende Durchgangs- Öffnung über einen zwischen dem Ventilgehäuse und dem Stellglied angeordneten Dichtring abgedichtet werden, der mit dem schraubbaren Stellglied gegen eine Dichtfläche des Ventilgehäuses angedrückt wird.The through-opening receiving the actuator can advantageously be sealed via a sealing ring arranged between the valve housing and the actuator, which is pressed with the screwable actuator against a sealing surface of the valve housing.
In einem vorteilhaften Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, daß die Zulauföffnung des Zulaufkanals konusförmig ausgebil- det ist.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the inlet opening of the inlet channel is conical.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, den Durchflußquerschnitt im Zulaufkanal mit einer kegelförmig ausgebildete Drosselnadel einzustellen. Durch die sich von der Kegelspitze aus vergrö- ßernde Querschnittfläche der Drosselnadel wird der Durchflußquerschnitt des Kraftstoffstromes im Zulaufkanal beim Einführen der Drosselnadel in die ZulaufÖffnung stetig verkleinert. Besonders gut ist der Durchflußquerschnitt im Zulaufkanal einstellbar, wenn der Scheitelwinkel der kegelförmigen Dros- selnadel kleiner oder gleich dem Öffnungswinkel der konusför- migen ZulaufÖffnung des Zulaufkanals ausgebildet ist .It is particularly advantageous to set the flow cross-section in the inlet channel with a conical throttling needle. The cross-sectional area of the throttle needle, which increases from the cone tip, steadily reduces the flow cross-section of the fuel flow in the inlet channel when the throttle needle is inserted into the inlet opening. The flow cross-section in the inlet channel can be adjusted particularly well if the apex angle of the conical throttles needle is smaller than or equal to the opening angle of the conical inlet opening of the inlet channel.

Beschreibung eines AusführungsbeispielsDescription of an embodiment
In Fig. 1 ist ein Schnitt durch ein elektrisch gesteuertes Kraftstoffeinspritzventil, einen sogenannten Injektor, darge- stellt. Das Kraftstoffeinspritzventil ist zur Verwendung in einer Kraftstoffeinspritzanlage bestimmt, die mit einem Kraftstoffhochdruckspeieher ausgerüstet ist, der durch eine Hochdruckförderpumpe kontinuierlich mit Hochdruckkraftstoff versorgt wird und von dem aus dieser Kraftstoff unter Ein- spritzdruck über einzelne elektrisch gesteuerte Einspritzventile der Brennkraftmaschine zugeführt werden kann. Das in Fig. 1 gezeigte Kraftstoffeinspritzventil 1 weist ein Ventilgehäuse 4 mit einer Längsbohrung 5 auf, in der ein kolbenartiger Stößel 6 angeordnet ist, der an seinem einen Ende auf ein in einem nicht dargestellten Düsenkörper angeordnetes, als Ventilnadel ausgebildetes Ventilglied einwirkt . Die Ventilnadel verschließt durch die Schließkraft einer Düsenfeder und die Druckkraft des Stößels 6 wenigstens eine Einspritz- Öffnung im Düsenkörper. An der Ventilnadel ist in bekannter Weise eine Druckschulter ausgebildet, die in einem Druckraum des Düsenkörpers angeordnet ist . Der Druckraum wird über eine Druckbohrung 8 mit unter Hochdruck stehendem Kraftstoff versorgt. Bei einer Öffnungshubbewegung des Stößels 6 wird die Ventilnadel durch den ständig an der Druckschulter angreifen- den Kraftstoffhochdruck im Druckraum entgegen der Schließkraft der Düsenfeder angehoben. Durch die dann mit dem Druckraum verbundene Einspritzöffnung erfolgt die Einspritzung des Kraftstoffs in den Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine . Durch Absenken des Stößels wird die Ventilnadel in Schließrichtung der Federkraft der Düsenfeder in den Ventilsitz des Einspritzventils gedrückt und der Einspritzvorgang beendet.1 shows a section through an electrically controlled fuel injection valve, a so-called injector. The fuel injection valve is intended for use in a fuel injection system which is equipped with a high-pressure fuel dispenser which is continuously supplied with high-pressure fuel by a high-pressure feed pump and from which fuel can be supplied to the internal combustion engine under injection pressure via individual electrically controlled injection valves. The fuel injection valve 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a valve housing 4 with a longitudinal bore 5, in which a piston-like tappet 6 is arranged, which acts at one end on a valve member which is arranged in a nozzle body, not shown, and is designed as a valve needle. The valve needle closes at least one injection opening in the nozzle body due to the closing force of a nozzle spring and the pressure force of the tappet 6. In a known manner, a pressure shoulder is formed on the valve needle, which is in a pressure chamber of the nozzle body is arranged. The pressure chamber is supplied with fuel under high pressure via a pressure bore 8. During an opening stroke movement of the tappet 6, the valve needle is raised against the closing force of the nozzle spring by the high fuel pressure in the pressure chamber, which constantly acts on the pressure shoulder. The injection is then connected to the pressure chamber and the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. By lowering the tappet, the valve needle is pressed into the valve seat of the injection valve in the closing direction of the spring force of the nozzle spring and the injection process is ended.
Wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, wird der Stößel 6 mit seinem der Ventilnadel gegenüberliegenden Ende in der Zylinderboh- rung 11 eines in das Ventilgehäuse 4 eingesetzten Ventilstücks 12 geführt. In der Zylinderbohrung 11 schließt die Stirnseite 13 des Stößels 6 einen Steuerdruckraum 14 ein. Wie weiterhin aus der Schnittdarstellung von Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist, ist der Steuerdruckraum 14 über einen Zulaufkanal 15 mit einem Ringraum 20 verbunden, der, wie in Fig. 1 zu erkennen ist, über einen Kraftstoffhochdruckanschluß 16 mit einem Anschlußstutzen 3 verbunden, welcher einen Kraftstoffilter 42 aufweist und zum Anschluß an den Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher dient. Der Ringraum 20 ist über einen Dichtring 39 zur Längs- bohrung 5 abgedichtet. Über den Zulaufkanal 15 ist der Steuerdruckraum 14 dem im Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher herrschenden hohen Kraftstoffdruck ausgesetzt.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the plunger 6 is guided with its end opposite the valve needle in the cylinder bore 11 of a valve piece 12 inserted into the valve housing 4. The end face 13 of the plunger 6 includes a control pressure chamber 14 in the cylinder bore 11. As can also be seen from the sectional view of FIG. 2, the control pressure chamber 14 is connected via an inlet duct 15 to an annular space 20 which, as can be seen in FIG. 1, is connected via a high-pressure fuel connection 16 to a connecting piece 3, which one Has fuel filter 42 and is used for connection to the high-pressure fuel reservoir. The annular space 20 is sealed off from the longitudinal bore 5 by a sealing ring 39. The control pressure chamber 14 is exposed to the high fuel pressure prevailing in the high-pressure fuel reservoir via the inlet channel 15.
Koaxial zum Stößel 6 zweigt aus dem Steuerdruckraum 14 eine im Ventilstück 12 verlaufende Bohrung ab, die einen mit einer Ablaufdrossel -18 versehenen Ablaufkanal 17 bildet, der in einen Entlastungsraum 19 einmündet, der mit einem Kraftstoff- niederdruckanschluß 10 verbunden ist, welcher wiederum in nicht weiter dargestellter Weise mit einem Kraftstoffrücklauf des Einspritzventils 1 verbunden ist. Der Austritt des Ab- laufkanals 17 aus dem Ventilstück 12 erfolgt im Bereich eines kegelförmig angesenkten Teiles 21 der außenliegenden Stirnseite des Ventilstückes 12. Das Ventilstück 12 ist dabei in einem Flanschbereich 22 fest über ein Schraubglied 23 mit dem Ventilgehäuse 4 verspannt. In dem kegelförmigen Teil 21 ist ein Ventilsitz 24 ausgebildet, mit dem ein Steuerventilglied 25 eines das Einspritzventil steuernden Magnetventils 30 zusammenwirkt. Das Steuerventilglied ist auf einem Ankerbolzen 27 angeordnet, welcher ständig durch eine sich gehäusefest abstützende Schließfeder 31 in Schließrichtung beaufschlagt wird, so daß das Steuerventilglied 25 normalerweise in Schließstellung am Ventilsitz 24 anliegt und der Steuerdruckraum 14 zur Entlastungsseite 19 hin verschlossen ist, so daß sich dort über den Zulaufkanal 15 sehr schnell der hohe Druck aufbaut, der auch in dem Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher ansteht. Über die Fläche der Stirnseite 13 erzeugt der Druck im Steuerdruckraum 14 eine Schließkraft auf den Stößel 6 und die damit in Verbindung stehende Ventilnadel, die größer ist als die andererseits in Öffnungsrichtung in Folge des anstehenden Hochdrucks wirkenden Kräfte. Wird der Steuerdruckraum 14 durch Öffnen des Magnetventils zur Entlastungsseite 19 hin geöffnet, baut sich der Druck in dem geringen Volumen des Steuerdruckraumes 14 sehr schnell ab, da dieser über eine weiter unten dargestellte Zulaufdrossel von der Hochdruσksei- te abgekoppelt ist. Infolgedessen überwiegt die auf die Ventilnadel in Öffnungsrichtung wirkende Kraft aus dem an der Ventilnadel anstehenden Kraftstoffhochdruck, so daß diese nach oben bewegt und dabei die wenigstens eine Einspritzöffnung zur Einspritzung geöffnet wird. Schließt jedoch das Ma- gnetventil 30 den Ablaufkanal 17, kann der Druck im Steuerdruckraum 14 durch den über den Zulaufkanal 15 nachfließenden Kraftstoff wieder aufgebaut werden, so daß die ursprüngliche Schließkraft ansteht und die Ventilnadel des Kraftstoff- einspritzventils schließt . Natürlich kann an Stelle des mit dem Steuerventilglied 25 zusammenwirkenden Magnetstellers auch ein Piezosteller oder eine Kombination aus Piezosteller und Magnetsteller oder ein anderes Teil verwandt werden.Coaxial to the plunger 6 branches off from the control pressure chamber 14 a bore running in the valve piece 12, which forms an outlet duct 17 provided with an outlet throttle -18, which opens into a relief chamber 19 which is connected to a low-pressure fuel connection 10, which in turn does not further shown is connected to a fuel return of the injector 1. The exit of the Run channel 17 from the valve piece 12 takes place in the region of a conically countersunk part 21 of the outer end face of the valve piece 12. The valve piece 12 is firmly clamped to the valve housing 4 in a flange area 22 via a screw member 23. A valve seat 24 is formed in the conical part 21, with which a control valve member 25 of a solenoid valve 30 controlling the injection valve interacts. The control valve member is arranged on an anchor bolt 27 which is constantly acted upon in the closing direction by a locking spring 31 which is fixed to the housing, so that the control valve member 25 normally abuts the valve seat 24 in the closed position and the control pressure chamber 14 is closed towards the relief side 19, so that there The high pressure that is also present in the high-pressure fuel accumulator builds up very quickly via the inlet channel 15. Over the surface of the end face 13, the pressure in the control pressure chamber 14 generates a closing force on the tappet 6 and the valve needle connected therewith, which is greater than the forces acting in the opening direction as a result of the high pressure. If the control pressure chamber 14 is opened towards the relief side 19 by opening the solenoid valve, the pressure in the small volume of the control pressure chamber 14 decreases very quickly, since this is decoupled from the high pressure side via an inlet throttle shown below. As a result, the force acting on the valve needle in the opening direction outweighs the high fuel pressure applied to the valve needle, so that it moves upward and the at least one injection opening is opened for injection. However, if the solenoid valve 30 closes the outlet channel 17, the pressure in the control pressure chamber 14 can be built up again by the fuel flowing in via the inlet channel 15, so that the original closing force is applied and the valve needle of the fuel injection valve closes. Of course, instead of the magnetic actuator interacting with the control valve member 25 also a piezo actuator or a combination of piezo actuator and magnetic actuator or another part can be used.
Der oben beschriebene Aufbau des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils 1 entspricht im wesentlichen den im Stand der Technik bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzventilen. Bei den im Stand der Technik bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzventilen ist die Zulaufdrossel durch eine Bohrung in der Seitenwand des Ventilstücks ausgebildet. Der Kraftstoffzufluß aus dem Ringraum 20 in den Steu- erdruckraum 14 kann von außen nicht verändert werden, da nach dem Zusammenbau des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils das Verhältnis zwischen KraftstoffZulauf und Kraftstoffablauf feststeht .The structure of the fuel injection valve 1 described above essentially corresponds to the fuel injection valves known in the prior art. In the fuel injection valves known in the prior art, the inlet throttle is formed by a bore in the side wall of the valve piece. The fuel inflow from the annular space 20 into the control pressure space 14 cannot be changed from the outside, since after the fuel injector has been assembled, the relationship between the fuel inflow and the fuel outflow is fixed.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffeinspritzventil ist im Unterschied zum Stand der Technik ein Stellglied 50 vorgesehen, das in einer radial zur Achse der Bohrung 11 verlaufenden Durchgangsöffnung 7 des Ventilgehäuses 4 beweglich angeordnet ist. Das Stellglied 50 ist in diesem Ausführungsbei- spiel in die Durchgangsöffnung 7 einschraubbar. Es ist aber auch möglich, das Stellglied 50 beispielsweise als Schiebebuchse oder in anderer Weise auszubilden. Wichtig ist, daß das Stellglied zum Steuerdruckraum 14 hin beweglich ist und in der einmal eingestellten Lage fixierbar ist . Dies läßt sich in einfacher Weise dadurch erreichen, daß in die Seiten- wand 58 des Ventilgehäuses 4 eine Gewindebohrung eingebracht wird und das Stellglied schraubbar ausgebildet ist . An dem in die Durchgangsöffnung 7 eingeführten Ende 53 des Stellgliedes 50 weist dieses eine zum Steuerdruckraum 14 hin abstehende, kegelförmige Drosselnadel 51 auf. Die Drosselnadel kann aber auch eine geeignete andere Form aufweisen. In einer dem Außenraum zugewandten Ausnehmung 56 der Seitenwand 58 des Ventilgehäuses ist ein Dichtring 57 angeordnet, der durch einen Kragen 59 des Stellgliedes 50 in die Ausnehmung 56 gedrückt wird und so die Durchgangsöffnung 7 abdichtet . Zweckmäßiger Weise ist das Gewinde in der Durchgangsöffnung 7 mit einer geringen Gewindesteilheit versehen, um ein besseres Einstellen des Stellgliedes 50 zu ermöglichen. Beim Einstellen des Stellgliedes 50 preßt das Stellglied den Dichtring 57 ständig gegen die Gehäusewand 58 an, so daß die Durchgangsδffnung 7 stets abgedichtet ist.In contrast to the prior art, in the fuel injection valve according to the invention an actuator 50 is provided, which is movably arranged in a through opening 7 of the valve housing 4 which extends radially to the axis of the bore 11. In this exemplary embodiment, the actuator 50 can be screwed into the through opening 7. However, it is also possible to design the actuator 50, for example, as a sliding bush or in some other way. It is important that the actuator is movable towards the control pressure chamber 14 and can be fixed in the position once set. This can be achieved in a simple manner in that a threaded bore is made in the side wall 58 of the valve housing 4 and the actuator is designed to be screwable. At the end 53 of the actuator 50 which is inserted into the through opening 7, the actuator 50 has a conical throttle needle 51 which projects towards the control pressure chamber 14. However, the throttle needle can also have a suitable other shape. A sealing ring 57 is arranged in a recess 56 of the side wall 58 of the valve housing facing the outside, which is pressed into the recess 56 by a collar 59 of the actuator 50 and thus seals the passage opening 7. The thread in the through opening 7 is expediently provided with a Low thread steepness to allow a better adjustment of the actuator 50. When adjusting the actuator 50, the actuator constantly presses the sealing ring 57 against the housing wall 58, so that the passage opening 7 is always sealed.
Wie weiterhin in Fig. 3 am besten zu erkennen ist, umfaßt der Zulaufkanal des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffeinspritzventils eine radial zur Achse der Bohrung 11 durch die Wand des Ventilstücks 12 führende, Bohrung 52 an deren einem dem Ringraum 20 zugewandten Ende sich eine konusförmige Zulauf- Öffnung 54 anschließt, die sich zu dem das Ventilstück 12 umfangsseitig umgebenden Ringraum 20 hin öffnet. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, bildet die konusförmige ZulaufÖffnung 54 mit der Zylinderbohrung 52 eine umlaufende Kante 55. DerAs can also be seen best in FIG. 3, the inlet channel of the fuel injection valve according to the invention comprises a bore 52, which leads radially to the axis of the bore 11 through the wall of the valve piece 12 and has a conical inlet opening 54 at its end facing the annular space 20 connects, which opens to the annular space 20 surrounding the valve piece 12 on the circumferential side. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the conical inlet opening 54 forms a peripheral edge 55 with the cylinder bore 52
Scheitelwinkel ß der kegelförmigen Drosselnadel 51 ist vorteilhaft kleiner oder genauso groß ausgebildet wie der Öffnungswinkel α der konusförmigen ZulaufÖffnung 54 des Zulauf- kanals 15.The apex angle β of the conical throttle needle 51 is advantageously made smaller or the same size as the opening angle α of the conical inlet opening 54 of the inlet channel 15.
Beim Einschrauben des Stellgliedes 51 dringt dieses mit der Drosselnadel 51 in die Zulauföffnung 54 des Zulaufkanals 15 mittig ein. Dabei kann die Spitze der Drosselnadel 51 ein Stück weit in die Bohrung 52 eindringen. Wie in Fig. 3 zu erkennen ist, wird durch das Einführen der Drosselnadel der Durchflußquerschnitt des Zulaufkanals 15 verkleinert . In Fig. 3 resultiert der Durchflußquerschnitt aus dem Abstand d der Kante 55 des Zulaufkanals 15 von der Mantelfläche der kegelförmigen Drosselnadel 51. Je weiter die Drosselnadel 51 in die ZulaufÖffnung 54 eingeführt wird, desto kleiner wird dieser Abstand d. Durch Einschrauben oder Entfernen des Stellgliedes 50 kann so in einfacher Weise der Durchflußquerschnitt für den in den Steuerdruckraum einströmenden Kraftstoff verändert werden und dadurch die Schnelligkeit, mit der sich der Steuerdruckraum mit Kraftstoff füllt und mit der sich die Ventilnadel schließt, eingestellt werden. When the actuator 51 is screwed in, it penetrates with the throttle needle 51 into the inlet opening 54 of the inlet channel 15 in the center. The tip of the throttle needle 51 can penetrate a bit into the bore 52. As can be seen in FIG. 3, the flow cross section of the inlet channel 15 is reduced by inserting the throttle needle. 3, the flow cross section results from the distance d between the edge 55 of the inlet channel 15 and the lateral surface of the conical throttle needle 51. The further the throttle needle 51 is inserted into the inlet opening 54, the smaller this distance d. By screwing in or removing the actuator 50, the flow cross-section for the fuel flowing into the control pressure chamber can be changed in a simple manner and thereby the speed, with which the control pressure chamber fills with fuel and with which the valve needle closes.
