Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injection system according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Valve holder is integrated.
- the valve receptacle in which a fuel injector can be used, is part of an intake pipe.
- the fuel system has multi-part intake pipes that have flanges at their ends, with which they are connected to one another.
- the intake pipes are made of either aluminum or plastic.
- the valve receptacles each surround one
- Fuel injectors are carried out.
- Fuel injectors are inserted into these valve receptacles when fully assembled.
- the fuel injector in the valve seat must be sealed with at least two sealing rings.
- a fuel injection system is also known from US Pat. No. 5,568,798 A, in which a fuel supply line is also integrated on an intake manifold.
- the fuel supply line is in direct contact with a fuel injector, which is supplied with fuel from the line.
- the fuel injector extends along an intake opening in the wall of the intake manifold and projects into its downstream end.
- the fuel supply line is equipped with an electrical line system, so that when the fuel injectors are inserted into the receiving openings, the valves are electrically contacted.
- a fuel injection system is already known from DE 196 00 378 AI, which is characterized by a particularly high level of integration of various components of fuel injection.
- the fuel injection system comprises at least one
- the full integration of the fuel injection valves on an intake manifold system made of plastic means that both electrical and hydraulic interfaces are reduced or avoided. So there is only a compact component that is very easy to attach to a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. Means for electrical contacting of the
- Fuel injectors such as connector plugs, are fully integrated in the plastic casing.
- this complex component has the disadvantage of complicated production and difficult handling in the plastic injection molding process.
- the fuel injection system according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that significant cost savings are achieved in a simple manner.
- the fuel injection system is particularly easy to manufacture and assemble. Because the various components of the fuel injection system are only partially integrated, the fuel distributor and the intake manifold with its intake manifolds or a cylinder head module can be manufactured separately in a very simple and easy-to-use manner.
- the full integration of the injection valves in one of the fuel distributors and free-hanging valve receptacle leads to the fact that both electrical and hydraulic interfaces of the fuel injection system and the space for the fuel injection valves are reduced.
- Valve receptacles designed securing elements for reliable and captive positioning of the fuel injection valves on the fuel rail.
- valve receptacle facing away from the fuel distributor to provide at least one radially inwardly directed latching lug for securing the fuel injection valve. It is particularly advantageous if three such locking lugs are formed on the valve receptacle.
- a further advantage is to design the inner longitudinal opening or the entire valve receptacle with a contour that deviates from a cylindrical shape, with a cross-section in the form of a skylight window, i.e. a circular shape flattened at least at one point (closed U-shape).
- Integrate fuel injectors in the fuel distributor serving to supply fuel to the fuel injectors. Only one central plug is then required for the electrical connection of the fuel injection system to the outside.
- FIG. 1 shows a partial section through a fuel injection system according to the invention with two design variants of the seal
- FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of the system in the direction of the arrow II in FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 shows a partial section through a fuel injection system with a third design variant of the seal
- FIG Electrical connection option for a fuel injector on the fuel distributor
- FIG. 1 shows a partial section through a fuel injection system, which among other things comprises at least one fuel injection valve 1, the Fuel injection system is used especially as part of a fuel injection system of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
- the Fuel injection system is used especially as part of a fuel injection system of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
- FIG. 1 only one fuel injection valve 1 is shown in section in connection with an intake pipe 3 designed as an individual intake pipe, which leads to a combustion chamber (not shown) of the internal combustion engine.
- the fuel injection system will usually be provided for an MPI (multi-point injection), in which, for. B. each combustion chamber of the Bre nkrafbmaschine
- Fuel injector 1 is assigned. In an internal combustion engine with four combustion chambers (4-cylinder engine) z. B. in the fuel injection system four intake pipes 3 in the direction of the combustion chambers, each with a fuel injector 1 opening into an intake pipe 3. Via the intake pipe 3, which has a circular cross section, for example, intake air or recirculated exhaust gas is provided for the internal combustion engine, the control of the air quantity via a throttle element, not shown, upstream of the mouth of the
- Fuel injection valve 1 takes place in the intake pipe 3.
- So-called top feed injection valves are suitable as fuel injection valves 1 for use in the fuel injection system according to the invention, in which the fuel supply takes place via the end facing away from the intake pipe 3.
- the fuel injector 1 therefore has an electromagnetic circuit including a solenoid 5, a core serving as an inner pole and an armature, which are arranged within a long, thin-walled and non-magnetic valve sleeve 6 and are not explicitly shown.
- the magnet coil 5 surrounds in .
- a coil housing 7 (FIG. 4) embeds the valve sleeve 6, which extends over the entire valve length.
- the actual valve group with a valve needle and a sealing seat is also arranged within the tubular valve sleeve 6.
- the electromagnetic circuit is used for the axial movement of the valve needle and thus for opening against the spring force of a return spring or closing the injection valve.
- the fuel to be sprayed is metered, for example, via an injection orifice disk which is provided downstream of the sealing seat and which has at least one, for example four, spray openings 8 (FIG. 2) formed by eroding or stamping.
- the magnet coil 5 is surrounded by a guiding element designed as a magnet pot 10 and serving as a ferromagnetic element, which completely surrounds the magnet coil 5 in the U direction and rests with its lower end on the valve sleeve 6 and is firmly connected to it.
- valve sleeve 6 serves as the fuel inlet connection of the fuel injection valve 1, the fuel being supplied to it from a fuel distributor 11.
- the e.g. Fuel distributor 11 made of a plastic has an inner one
- Fuel supply channel 13 which has, for example, a circular or a rectangular cross section. From the fuel distributor 11, which extends along a longitudinal axis 14, with its fuel supply channel 13, several valve receptacles 16 extend, for example, largely perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 14, which are shaped like nozzles and receive the fuel injection valves 1 in an inner longitudinal opening 17.
- the valve receptacles 16 are designed to hang freely on the fuel distributor 11, which means that they end freely at their areas facing away from the fuel supply channel 13 of the fuel distributor 11 and do not immediately merge in one piece into an intake pipe 3 or another cylinder head module.
- At least one securing element is provided on the end 18 of the valve receptacle 16 facing away from the fuel supply channel 13 of the fuel distributor 11.
- the securing element is designed, for example, as a radially inwardly directed locking lug 20. It is particularly advantageous if three such locking lugs 20 are formed over the circumference of the valve receptacle 16.
- the locking lugs 20 reach under the fuel injector 1 e.g. in the area of a cross-sectional taper 21 of the magnet pot 10. Due to a certain elasticity of the valve receptacle 16 and a radial expansion of the detents 20, the fuel injector 1 is from the free end of the
- Valve receptacle 16 insertable. After the valve 1 has been introduced, more than 50%, ideally 2/3 to 4/5, of the total length of the fuel injector 1 extends within the longitudinal opening 17 of the valve receptacle 16. Only a lower end of the magnetic pot 10 and the valve sleeve 6 with the spray openings 8 protrude unprotected from the valve seat 16.
- the fuel injector 1 is sealed off from the fuel distributor 11 by an axially sealing one
- Sealing element 22 which is located on the one hand at the upper end of the valve sleeve 6 of the fuel injection valve 1 and on the other hand on a shoulder 25 which is between an inflow opening 26 in the wall of the fuel distributor 11 and the larger-diameter longitudinal opening 17 of the Valve receptacle 16 is formed, supports.
- the magnetic pot 10 is provided at its upper end with a plurality of circumferential ribs which act as a labyrinth seal 27.
- FIGS 1 and 3 also show three different ones
- FIG. 1 Design variants of the sealing of the valve seat 16 with respect to the intake pipe 3 or another cylinder head module.
- an axial seal 28 is shown, which is introduced in a sealing groove 32 on the lower end 29 - of the valve seat 16.
- the seal 28 is designed with a round or rectangular cross section.
- At its end 18 is the valve receptacle 16 by introducing one
- Axial seal 28 widened flange-like.
- an axial recess 30 in the groove base of the sealing groove 32 is useful.
- a radial seal 33 is shown, which is expediently arranged on a step 34 on the outer circumference of the valve receptacle 16.
- the step 34 corresponds to a step 35 of the intake pipe 3, so that an annular space for the radial seal 33 is formed.
- FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment variant of the seal, in which a radial protrusion 36 is formed on the circumference of the valve receptacle 16, which allows an axial seal 37 to be introduced on its lower end face, for example in a circumferential, groove-like recess 38.
- the seals 22, 28, 33 and 37 are designed, for example, as elastomer seals.
- FIG. 2 shows a bottom view of the fuel injection system in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1. It is clear that the inner longitudinal opening 17 or the entire valve receptacle 16 advantageously has a shape that deviates from a cylindrical shape
- Contour are formed, with in particular a roof window-shaped cross section, that is to say a circular flattened shape at least at one point (closed U-shape). In this way, anti-rotation protection of the fuel injection valve 1 is achieved very easily, a clear installation position being defined from the outset.
- the locking lugs 20 are formed in the region of the circular outer contour.
- the electrical connection of the fuel injection valve 1 can be formed in the area of the flattened outer contour of the valve receptacle 16, as can be seen in FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows a view of the fuel injection system rotated by 90 ° with respect to FIGS. 1 and 3, in which an electrical connection possibility of the
- Fuel injector 1 is illustrated. In the area of its flattened outer contour, the valve receptacle 16 has a lateral recess 40, through which the fuel injector 1 is electrically contacted. The electrical
- the individual fuel injection valves 1 are contacted via a contact rail 41 which connects all fuel injection valves 1 to one another.
- the contact rail 41 made of plastic, in which all the necessary electrical lines are integrated, is an elongated flat plate.
- a central plug not shown, which, for. B. is designed with four to be contacted fuel injector 1 five-pole attached.
- the number of 41 in the contact rail The electrical lines provided decrease with each fuel injector 1 by one to the fuel injector 1 furthest away from the central plug, to which two electrical lines still lead.
- the contact rail 41 is firmly and tightly connected to the fuel distributor 11 or the valve receptacles 16 by ultrasonic welding or laser welding. Alternatively, a clip connection is also conceivable.
- the electrical lines of the contact rail 41 end as resilient connections 44 which protrude through the recess 40 into the longitudinal opening 17. These connections 44 correspond to the two contact pins 45 protruding from the coil housing 7 of the magnet coil 5, as a result of which reliable electrical contacting of the fuel injector 1 is ensured.
