Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector.
- a fuel injector is used to inject precisely metered amounts of fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
- the fuel should be injected at a pressure of up to 2000 bar, which is why the aim is to make fuel injectors particularly high pressure resistant.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through the fuel injector.
- the fuel injector has an actuator housing GA 'and an actuator unit A' arranged therein, which is operatively connected to a lever H 'and a valve piston V
- Control valve S ' is.
- the control valve S ' which is arranged in a valve chamber VK', separates a control chamber SK 'from a return line R'.
- the control chamber SK ' is arranged under the valve chamber VK' and connected to the valve chamber VK 'via an outlet throttle AD'.
- the valve chamber VK ' is arranged in a control module ST'.
- the control piston K ' is displaceably arranged within a bore of a piston module KM' and adjoins lateral surfaces of the piston module KM 'which are formed by the bore. The bore thus serves as a guide for the control piston K '.
- the control piston K ' is connected to a coupling rod KS', which is arranged in a spring chamber F '.
- the spring chamber F ' is arranged in the piston module KM' and with the return line device R 'connected so that there is a low pressure in the spring chamber F'.
- the coupling rod KS ' has a spring plate T ".
- a spring FE' is clamped between the spring plate T" and the control piston K '.
- the coupling rod KS ' is in contact with a nozzle needle D' which is arranged in a bore of a nozzle body DK 'arranged under the piston module KM'.
- the bore of the nozzle body DK ' has a high-pressure chamber HK', into which a high-pressure inlet Z 'opens, which extends from the control module ST' to the high-pressure chamber HK '.
- An inlet throttle ZD ' is arranged between the high pressure inlet Z' and the control chamber SK '.
- the control valve S' closes, so that a pressure builds up again in the control chamber SK 'via the inlet throttle ZD'. Due to the spring FE ', the low pressure in the spring chamber F' and the hydraulic force resulting from the larger cross-sectional area of the control piston K 'compared to the cross-sectional area of the nozzle needle D "in the region of the guide in the nozzle body DK', a slight pressure increase is sufficient in the control chamber SK 'to press the nozzle needle D' down against its valve seat so that the fuel injector closes quickly.
- a disadvantage of the conventional fuel injector is the tapering and thin wall of the nozzle body in the region of the mouth of the high pressure inlet into the high pressure chamber. The high pressure resistance of the fuel injector is consequently not very high.
- Another disadvantage is that there is permanent leakage between the high pressure chamber and the spring chamber, in which there is low pressure, and between the spring chamber and the control chamber, which leads to a loss of efficiency of the fuel injector.
- the permanent leakage is more pronounced, the greater the pressure difference between the
- High pressure chamber or the control chamber and the spring chamber is.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a fuel injector which, in comparison with the prior art, is suitable for higher pressures.
- the object is achieved by a fuel injector with the following features:
- the fuel injector has a control module which has a piston guide which projects downwards and in which a control piston is arranged.
- the fuel injector also has a nozzle body which has an attachment surface on which the control module is placed and which has a bore, in the lower section of which a nozzle needle which is operatively connected to the control piston and in the upper section of which the piston guide of the control module is arranged is.
- a high-pressure inlet is arranged in the control module and opens into the bore on the top surface.
- the bore is designed in such a way that the fuel which is lifted out of its valve seat when the nozzle needle is lifted
- Fuel injector occurs, is replaced by fuel from the High pressure inlet flows through the bore towards the valve seat. The entire bore is therefore subjected to high pressure.
- the fuel injector therefore has a high pressure resistance and is therefore suitable for high pressures.
- the high-pressure inlet is only arranged in the control module and not in the nozzle body, in which the installation space is severely restricted, especially in the lower section, the problem for high pressures of thin walls around the high-pressure inlet generally does not occur.
- a valve chamber which is separated from a return line by a control valve.
- the fuel injector can have a control chamber which adjoins the upper end of the control piston.
- the control chamber is pressurized with high pressure via an inlet throttle in that the inlet throttle is hydraulically connected to the high-pressure inlet.
- the inlet throttle is therefore at least indirectly connected to the high-pressure inlet.
- the valve chamber and the control chamber are connected to each other via an outlet throttle.
- bypass throttle via which the valve chamber, due to the lack of a cross-sectional area difference between the control piston and the nozzle needle in the area of the guide in the control module and thus the lack of the hydraulic force component in the closing direction of the nozzle needle is subjected to high pressure by the bypass throttle being hydraulically connected to the high pressure inlet.
- the bypass throttle is therefore at least indirectly related to that. High pressure inlet connected in terms of flow. If the control valve lifts from its valve seat, fuel flows from the valve chamber into the return line.
- the piston guide has at least three radially outwardly directed bulges which adjoin the lateral surfaces of the nozzle body which are formed by the bore. The spaces between the bulges form channels for the fuel.
- the bulges can run along the entire axial length of the piston guide.
- the piston guide in the region of the upper end of the bore is spaced apart from the lateral surfaces of the nozzle body which are formed by the bore, so that an annular channel for the fuel is formed.
- the bulges are only arranged in a lower section of the piston guide.
- the bypass throttle can adjoin a bypass hole arranged in the control module, which opens into the ring channel. Due to the ring channel, the fuel can be transported quickly from the high-pressure inlet to the bypass bore. guaranteed.
- An advantage of such an arrangement is that the bypass bore is spaced from the high-pressure inlet and, consequently, the installation space in the control module is better utilized. This also avoids walls that are too thin for high pressure around the high-pressure inlet or around the bypass hole.
- the bulges of the piston guide are preferably arranged symmetrically about the axis of the bore.
- the inlet throttle can be connected directly to the high pressure inlet.
- the inlet throttle is connected to the ring channel, that is to say only indirectly connected to the high-pressure inlet, while the bypass bore is connected directly to the high-pressure inlet.
- the piston guide serves as a guide for both the control piston and the nozzle needle.
- the nozzle needle is spaced from lateral surfaces of the nozzle body that are formed by the bore.
- the dimensions of the control piston are adapted to the dimensions of the piston guide in such a way that there is no channel for the fuel within the piston guide.
- the nozzle needle and the control piston are not made in one piece.
- a needle guide is provided within the bore, to which the nozzle needle adjoins in such a way that at least one channel for the fuel flow is formed.
- a spring is provided in the bore, which biases the nozzle needle downwards.
- the nozzle needle has a spring plate, the spring being clamped between the spring plate and the lower end of the piston guide.
- Figure 2 shows a cross section through a fuel injector with a control module, a nozzle body, a nozzle needle, a control piston, a piston guide, a spring plate, a spring, a bore, an inlet throttle, a bypass throttle, an outlet throttle, a bypass bore, a valve chamber, one Control chamber, an annular channel, channels, a control valve, a high pressure inlet and a return line.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section perpendicular to the cross section from FIG. 2 through the fuel injector, in which the nozzle body, the channels, the piston guide and the control piston are shown.
- a fuel injector is provided with a control module ST and a nozzle body DK.
- a bypass bore BB is arranged in the control module ST, which opens into the ring channel RK and is connected to the valve chamber VK via a bypass throttle BZ.
- a coupling rod KS is arranged in the bore B and is formed in one piece with the control piston K.
- a spring plate T is arranged on the coupling rod KS.
- a spring FE is clamped between the spring plate T and the lower end of the piston guide KF.
- a nozzle needle D is arranged in the bore B and is formed in one piece with the coupling rod KS and the control piston K.
- the nozzle needle D and the coupling rod KS are spaced from the lateral surfaces of the nozzle body DK, which are formed by the bore B.
- This fuel is replaced by pumping fuel through the high-pressure inlet Z into the ring channel RK and from there via the channels KA to the nozzle needle D.
- the pressure in the control chamber SK builds up by removing fuel from the high-pressure inlet Z via the inlet throttle ZD and from the high-pressure inlet Z via the ring channel RK, the bypass bore BB. the bypass throttle BD, the valve chamber VK and the outlet throttle AD flow into the control chamber SK.
- the nozzle needle D Due to the increasing pressure in the control chamber SK and the force of the spring FE, the nozzle needle D is pressed back onto its valve seat.
