Definitions

• the invention relates to a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
• Such a fuel injection device is known from DE 198 53 103 A1.
• This fuel injection device has a delivery pump, through which fuel is delivered to a high-pressure pump, the high-pressure pump delivering fuel under high pressure to a storage device.
• a fuel metering device is provided, which is arranged between the feed pump and the high-pressure pump.
• the fuel metering device is used to control the amount of fuel delivered to the store by the high-pressure pump depending on the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.
• the fuel metering device comprises an actuator in the form of an electromagnet and a control valve actuated by it, which has a slide-shaped valve member which is guided in a cylinder bore of a valve housing and which can be moved by an armature of the electromagnet against a return spring.
• the valve member In cooperation with an outlet opening of the valve housing, the valve member controls a flow cross-section from the feed pump to the high-pressure pump via its outer jacket depending on the stroke. In a closed position of the valve member, this is with its outer jacket in Cover with the drain opening so that the flow cross section is completely closed.
• the valve member since the valve member must be displaceable in the cylinder bore of the valve housing, there is a small gap between the outer casing and the cylinder bore through which a leakage amount of fuel can pass and reach the high-pressure pump via the drain opening, even if due to the operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, for example in the Thrust operation, no fuel needs to be pumped by the high pressure pump. Measures are therefore necessary in order to discharge this amount of fuel leakage so that it cannot reach the high-pressure pump. This makes the construction and manufacture of the fuel injection device complex.
• the fuel injection device according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that the high pressure pump can be completely separated from the feed pump by the valve member by means of the sealing surface in cooperation with the valve seat, so that no further measures are required for this and the structure and manufacture the fuel injection device are simplified accordingly.

• An electrical control valve 22 is arranged on each of the injectors 20, through which an opening of the injectors is controlled, in order to thus effect fuel injection by the respective injector 20 or to prevent fuel injection.
• the control valves 22 are controlled by an electronic control device 23, which determines the point in time and the duration of the fuel injection by the injectors 20 as a function of operating parameters of the internal combustion engine, such as, for example, speed, load, temperature and others.
• a return for unused fuel leads back from the injectors 20, at least indirectly, for example via a line 24 common to all injectors, into the fuel reservoir 10.
• a line 26 can also return from the reservoir 16 to the fuel tank 10, in which a pressure relief valve 28 is arranged, in order to prevent an impermissibly high pressure from building up in the reservoir 16.
• the high pressure pump 14 is mechanically driven by the internal combustion engine and thus proportional to the speed of the internal combustion engine.
• the feed pump 12 can also be driven mechanically by the internal combustion engine, and a common drive shaft can be provided for the high pressure pump 14 and the feed pump 12.

• the pump work spaces 36 are connected to the outlet of the feed pump 12 when the check valves 39 are open and are filled with fuel, the pump work spaces 36 being separated from the accumulator 16 by the closed check valves 38 are.
• the pump working spaces 36 are connected to the accumulator 16 when the check valves 38 are open and are separated from the outlet of the delivery pump 12 by the closed check valves 39.

• the fuel metering device 44 is also controlled by the control device 23, in such a way that a fuel quantity is supplied to the high-pressure pump 14 by the feed pump 12, which in turn is then pumped under high pressure into the memory 16 by the high-pressure pump 14 in order to have a predetermined value in the memory 16 to maintain pressure dependent on operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.

• the recess 56 is explained in more detail below.
• an outlet opening 58 opening into the cylinder bore 52 is formed, with which the recess 56 of the valve member 54 cooperates to control the size of a flow cross section.

• An armature 66 of the electromagnet 45 engages on the valve member 54 on the side facing away from the valve seat 64, by means of which the valve member 54 can be displaced toward the valve seat 64 when the electromagnet 45 is energized.
• a return spring 68 acts on the valve member 54.
• the function of the fuel metering device 44 is explained below. If no fuel is to be conveyed into the accumulator 16 by the high-pressure pump 14, the electromagnet 45 is energized by the control device 23 with a high current, so that the valve member 54 against the force of the return spring 68 with its sealing surface 60 in contact with the valve seat 64 is brought as shown in Figure 2.
• the inlet opening 62 is completely closed by the valve member 54, even if pressure is generated by the feed pump 12.
• the recess 56 of the The valve member 54 is not in overlap with the drain opening 58, but the valve member 54 with its full cylindrical cross section is in overlap with the drain opening 58.

• valve member 54 When the valve member 54 is lifted with its sealing surface 60 from the valve seat 64, the space delimited between the valve member 54 and the end wall 53 in the cylinder bore 52 is filled with fuel under the pressure generated by the feed pump 12. Only when the idle stroke h of the valve member 54 has been passed through does its recess 56 overlap with the drain opening 58 and releases a flow cross-section, as shown in FIG. 3. With this configuration, a separation between the function of completely closing the inlet opening 62 by the valve member 54 when no fuel is to be conveyed by the high-pressure pump 14 and the function of controlling the flow cross section by the valve member 54 is achieved.
• the recess 56 on the valve member 54 widens in such a way that an increasingly larger flow cross-section is released from the cylinder bore 52 into the outlet opening 58 when the valve member 54 moves in its opening direction 70.
