Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the type of the main claim.
- a fuel injection valve is known from US Pat. No. 5,058,549, which has a device for generating swirl as well as a main spray opening of large diameter and a secondary spray opening of smaller diameter.
- the inclination of the spray orifices with respect to a longitudinal axis of the fuel injector is different, so that the fuel is sprayed through the secondary spray orifice with a high swirl and a large penetration length and with a small swirl and a large opening angle through the main spray orifice.
- a disadvantage of the fuel injector known from US Pat. No. 5,058,549 is, in particular, the high production outlay both of the valve closing body and / or the valve needle, which have to be provided with swirl grooves, and of the valve seat body, in which the spray openings are formed.
- the different inclination of the spray openings and the high demands on the accuracy of the diameter of the Spray openings require a ' complex manufacturing process.
- a fuel injection valve which has a valve needle which is guided with its shaft in the bore of a valve guide part, when pressurized fuel is supplied via radial transverse bores arranged in the guide part and opening into the guide bore opens in the direction of flow of the fuel and rotates the fuel via grooves. Furthermore, the fuel injection valve has at least two spray openings on the downstream side of the valve needle.
- a disadvantage of the fuel injector known from DE 1 601 988 is in particular the disturbance of the swirl of the fuel caused by the outward opening movement, which is primarily caused by the large dead volume of a swirl chamber formed between the valve closing body and the spray openings.
- the swirl flow can no longer be kept homogeneous, and the cross section of the grooves is increased so much when the fuel injector is opened that the swirl flow comes to a standstill.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the advantages of a multi-hole fuel injector can be combined with those of a fuel injector with swirl processing with the most extensive use of standard components.
- a swirl device for example a conventional swirl disk
- a swirl chamber which communicates a swirl to the fuel, so that a homogeneous swirl flow is formed in the swirl chamber. Due to the homogeneous swirl flow, the fuel can flow through several Spray openings, which are formed, for example, in a valve seat body known from multi-hole nozzle technology, are sprayed simultaneously.
- the swirl flow in the swirl chamber can be adjusted according to requirements by means of a tangential component relative to a longitudinal axis of the fuel injection valve.
- the design of the swirl device as a swirl disk is advantageous because it is simple to manufacture and easy to assemble.
- Another advantage is that any arrangement of spray openings can be realized in accordance with the requirements placed on the shape of the mixture cloud.
- FIG. 1A shows a schematic section through a first exemplary embodiment of a fuel injector according to the invention
- FIG. 1B is a schematic partial section through the first embodiment of a fuel injector according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 in the area IB in Fig. 1A, 1C shows a schematic section along the line labeled IC-IC in FIG. 1B,
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic partial section through a second exemplary embodiment of a fuel injection valve according to the invention in the same area as FIG. 1B,
- 3A-C are beam images of a conventional one
- FIGS. 3A-3C shows a diagram of the static flow as a function of the stroke of the valve needle for the jet images of fuel injectors shown in FIGS. 3A-3C.
- the first exemplary embodiment of a fuel injection valve 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1A is in the form of a fuel injection valve 1 for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignition internal combustion engines.
- the fuel injection valve 1 is particularly suitable for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber (not shown) of an internal combustion engine.
- the fuel injector 1 consists of a nozzle body 2, in which a valve needle 3 is arranged.
- the valve needle 3 is operatively connected to a valve closing body 4, which cooperates with a valve seat surface 6 arranged on a valve seat body 5 to form a sealing seat.
- the fuel injection valve 1 is an inwardly opening fuel injection valve 1 which has a plurality of spray openings 7.
- the nozzle body 2 is through a seal 8 sealed against the outer pole 9 of a solenoid 10.
- the magnet coil 10 is encapsulated in a coil housing 11 and on one.
- Coil carrier 12 is wound, which bears against an inner pole 13 of the magnet coil 10.
- the inner pole 13 and the outer pole 9 are separated from one another by a gap 26 and are supported on a connecting component 29.
- the magnet coil 10 is excited via a line 19 by an electrical current that can be supplied via an electrical plug contact 17.
- the plug contact 17 is surrounded by a plastic sheath 18, which can be molded onto the inner pole 13.
- valve needle 3 is guided in a valve needle guide 14, which is disc-shaped.
- a paired adjusting disc 15 is used for stroke adjustment.
- An armature 20 is located on the other side of the adjusting disc 15.
- a restoring spring 23 is supported on the first flange 21, which in the present design of the fuel injector 1 is preloaded by a sleeve 24.
- Fuel channels 30a and 30b run in the valve needle guide 14 and in the armature 20, which channels the fuel, which is supplied via a central fuel supply 16 and filtered by a filter element 25, to the spray-discharge openings 7.
- inflow openings 34 are provided both for the fuel line and for the swirl preparation.
- the fuel injector 1 is against by a seal 28 sealed a fuel feed line, not shown.
- the armature 20 In the idle state of the fuel injection valve 1, the armature 20 is acted upon by the return spring 23 against its stroke direction in such a way that the valve closing body 4 is held in sealing contact with the valve seat surface 6.
- the magnetic coil 10 When the magnetic coil 10 is excited, it builds up a magnetic field which moves the armature 20 against the spring force of the return spring 23 in the stroke direction, the stroke being predetermined by a working gap 27 which is in the rest position between the inner pole 12 and the armature 20.
- the armature 20 also carries the flange 21, which is welded to the valve needle 3, in the lifting direction.
- valve closing body 4 which is operatively connected to the valve needle 3, lifts off the valve seat surface 6 and the fuel which is led via the fuel channels 30a and 30b and the inflow openings 34 in the valve seat body 5 to the spray openings 7 is sprayed off.
- the described first exemplary embodiment of a fuel injection valve 1 combines the advantages of swirl-conditioning measures with those of fuel injection valves 1 with a plurality of spray openings 7.
- FIG. 1B shows an excerpted, schematic sectional view of the spray-side end of the fuel injector 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1A.
- the section shown in FIG. 1B is designated IB in FIG. 1A.
- Matching components are provided with matching reference numerals.
- the injection-side end of the fuel injector 1 according to the invention shown in FIG is formed in one piece or is connected to the valve seat body 5 by means of welding, soldering or similar methods.
- the valve needle 3 with the valve closing body 4 formed thereon is guided through the guide extension 35 to avoid center offsets in order to ensure the fault-free operation of the fuel injection valve 1.
- At least two spray openings 7 are formed in the valve seat body 5.
- the two spray openings 7 shown in FIG. 1B can for example be part of an annular arrangement of spray openings 7 which consists of one or more preferably concentric rings.
- a preferably spherical swirl chamber 36 is formed, the volume of which is preferably dimensioned such that the dead volume is minimal and a circumferentially directed swirl flow can form when fuel flows into the swirl chamber 36.
- FIG. 1C shows an excerpt, schematic sectional illustration of a section through the exemplary embodiment of the fuel injector 1 according to the invention shown in FIG.
- two lines A and B are introduced, which represent the eccentricity of the inflow opening 34.
- Due to a tangential component of the inflow opening 34 relative to a longitudinal axis 44 of the fuel injection valve 1, fuel does not directly enter radially into the swirl chamber 36 formed between the valve seat body 5 and the valve closing body 4, so that a swirl flow directed in the circumferential direction can form.
- the . Swirl flow transports the fuel evenly to all spray openings 7, so that a homogeneous and symmetrical fuel cloud can be generated.
- inflow opening 34 For reasons of clarity, only one inflow opening 34 is shown in FIG. IC. For reasons of clarity, however, there should be at least two, more advantageously, but four or more inflow openings 34, on the one hand to symmetrize the forces acting through the fuel flowing through and on the other hand to adapt the injected fuel cloud as well as possible to the stoichiometric requirements.
- FIG. 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a fuel injector 1 designed according to the invention in the same area as in FIG. IB.
- the outflow-side part of the fuel injection valve 1 is composed of three components which are manufactured individually and then assembled.
- a swirl disk 39 is arranged on the inlet side of the valve seat body 5 and has at least one, advantageously more than two swirl channels 40.
- the guidance of the valve needle 3 or the valve closing body 4 without offset is ensured in the present exemplary embodiment by a guide element 38.
- the guide element 38 and the swirl disk 39 each have a recess 41, 42 through which the valve needle 3 passes.
- the Guide element 38 and the swirl disk 39 can be connected to one another and to the valve seat body 5, for example by soldering, welding, gluing or other connecting methods.
- a swirl chamber 36 is formed, which ensures the homogenization of the swirl flow, which is caused by the fuel flowing through the swirl disk 39 in the swirl chamber 36.
- FIG. 3A to 3C show schematic jet images of various fuel injection valves 1 with and without swirl processing and with one or more spray orifices 7.
- FIG. 4 is to be considered in each case, in which the stroke throttling coefficients of the differently configured fuel injection valves 1 in Dependence on the stroke of the valve needle are shown.
- the stroke throttling coefficient dQ stat / dh defines the change in the static flow Q stat with the stroke h of the valve needle 3.
- FIG. 3A shows the spray pattern of a fuel injection valve 1 with conventional swirl processing, for example with a swirl disk 39, and only one spray opening 7.
- the swirl processing shows a relatively homogeneous mixture cloud 43, which, however due to the shape of the spray opening 7, opens relatively wide and so that no deep penetration of the combustion chamber is achieved. Modifications in the shape of the spray opening 7 are not satisfactory in the representation of the mixture cloud 43, since throttling effects and turbulence are noticeably noticeable, which is why the penetration of the combustion chamber is limited by a spray opening 7 which cannot be reduced further.
- the curve A belonging to FIG. 3A in FIG. 4 is marked with diamonds.
- the stroke throttling coefficient for the fuel injector 1 equipped with conventional swirl preparation and only one spray opening 7 is constant over the stroke of the valve needle 3 approximately 0.01% / ⁇ m. This means that the static fuel flow through the fuel injection valve 1 depends only very slightly on changes in stroke.
- 3B shows, in comparison, the spray pattern of a fuel injection valve 1 without swirl preparation, which, however, is provided with several spray openings 7 according to known multi-hole concepts.
- the penetration of the combustion chamber is significantly greater here, the mixture cloud 43 penetrates almost three times further into the combustion chamber than the mixture cloud 43 shown in FIG. 3A.
- the reason for this is in particular the large number of very small spray openings 7, which avoid throttling effects and generate sharp injection jets , which overlap to form a stoichiometric mixture cloud 43.
- a disadvantage of multi-hole fuel injection valves 1 without swirl preparation is in particular the strong dependence of the static fuel flow on the stroke of the valve needle 3.
- curve B belonging to FIG. 3B is identified by triangles.
- the stroke throttling coefficient for a fuel injection valve 1 equipped with a plurality of spray openings 7 according to known multi-hole concepts is approximately 0.1% / ⁇ m, which corresponds to approximately ten times the value of the fuel injection valve 1 with swirl preparation shown in FIG. 3A.
- the static fuel flow through the fuel injection valve 1 depends heavily on the stroke of the valve needle 3, as a result of which large variations in the injection quantities can occur.
- 3C shows the spray pattern of a fuel injector 1 designed according to the invention
- the spray pattern of the fuel injection valve 1 according to the invention shows only insignificant differences, i. H. the penetration depth of the mixture cloud 43 in the combustion chamber continues to reach satisfactory values, while the tolerance of the fuel flow to stroke changes approaches the value of the fuel injection valve 1 with swirl conditioning, which is shown in FIG. 3A.
- the curve C in FIG. 4 corresponds to the beam distribution shown in FIG. 3C.
- the stroke throttling coefficient marked with squares in FIG. 4 of the fuel injector 1 designed according to the invention at least reaches a value of approximately 0.02% / ⁇ m, which is only slightly above the value of the fuel injector 1 with swirl preparation shown in FIG. 3A.
- the fuel injection valve 1 designed according to the invention thus has a high penetration depth of the mixture cloud 43 in the combustion chamber and only a slight dependence of the static flow on the stroke of the valve needle 3 and accordingly only a slight scatter of the static flow.
- the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments and z. B. can also be used for fuel injection valves 1 with other arrangements of swirl processing devices, with more or fewer inflow openings 34 or swirl disks with more or less swirl channels 40 and for any designs of fuel injection valves 1.
