Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention

Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß je nach der Hubstellung der Ventilnadel ein größerer oder kleinerer Strahlöffnungswinkel darstellbar ist, der gemäß dem Betriebszustand der Brennkraftmaschine ausgewählt werden kann.The fuel injection valve according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has In contrast, the advantage that, depending on the stroke position of Valve needle a larger or smaller jet angle can be represented, according to the operating state of Internal combustion engine can be selected.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Ein in den Fig. 1 und 2 in zwei verschiedenen Hubzuständen dargestelltes Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 ist in der Form eines Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschinen ausgeführt. Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 eignet sich insbesondere zum direkten Einspritzen von Brennstoff in einen nicht dargestellten Brennraum einer Brennkraftmaschine.A in Figs. 1 and 2 in two different stroke states illustrated embodiment of an inventive Fuel injection valve 1 is in the form of a Fuel injection valve 1 for fuel injection systems of mixture-compacting, externally ignited Internal combustion engine running. The Fuel injector 1 is particularly suitable for direct injection of fuel into one illustrated combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.

Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 besteht aus einem Gehäusekörper 2 und einem Düsenkörper 3, in welchem eine Ventilnadel 4 angeordnet ist. Die Ventilnadel 4 steht mit einem Ventilschließkörper 5 in Wirkverbindung, der mit einer Ventilsitzfläche 6 zu einem Dichtsitz zusammenwirkt. Bei dem Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 handelt es sich im Ausführungsbeispiel um ein nach außen öffnendes Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1. Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 weist einen Aktor 7 auf, der im Ausführungsbeispiel als piezoelektrischer Aktor 7 ausgeführt ist. Der Aktor stützt sich einerseits am Gehäusekörper 2 und andererseits an einer mit der Ventilnadel 4 in Wirkverbindung stehenden Schulter 8 ab. Abströmseitig der Schulter 8 ist eine Rückstellfeder 9 angeordnet, welche sich ihrerseits an dem Düsenkörper 3 abstützt.The fuel injection valve 1 consists of a Housing body 2 and a nozzle body 3, in which a Valve needle 4 is arranged. The valve needle 4 is available a valve closing body 5 in operative connection, with a Valve seat surface 6 cooperates to a sealing seat. In which Fuel injection valve 1 is in Embodiment by an outward opening Fuel injection valve 1. The fuel injection valve 1 has an actuator 7, which in the embodiment as piezoelectric actuator 7 is executed. The actuator supports on the one hand on the housing body 2 and on the other hand on a with the valve needle 4 operatively connected shoulder. 8 from. Downstream of the shoulder 8 is a return spring. 9 arranged, which in turn on the nozzle body. 3 supported.

Die Ventilnadel 4 weist einen Brennstoffkanal 10 auf, durch welchen der durch eine zulaufseitige zentrale Brennstoffzufuhr 11 zugeleitete Brennstoff zum Dichtsitz geführt wird. Zuströmseitig des Dichtsitzes ist eine Drallkammer 12 ausgebildet, in welche der Brennstoffkanal 10 ausmündet.The valve needle 4 has a fuel passage 10, through which by a supply-side central Fuel supply 11 fed fuel to the sealing seat to be led. On the upstream side of the sealing seat is a Swirl chamber 12 is formed, in which the fuel passage 10th opens.

Im Ruhezustand des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 wird die Schulter 8 durch die Kraft der Rückstellfeder 9 entgegen der Hubrichtung so beaufschlagt, daß der Ventilschließkörper 5 an der Ventilsitzfläche 6 in dichtender Anlage gehalten wird. Bei Erregung des piezoelektrischen Aktors 7 dehnt sich dieser in axialer Richtung entgegen der Federkraft der Rückstellfeder 9 aus, so daß die Schulter 8 mit der Ventilnadel 4, welche mit der Schulter 8 kraftschlüssig verbunden ist, in Hubrichtung bewegt wird. Der Ventilschließkörper 5 hebt von der Ventilsitzfläche 6 ab, und der über den Brennstoffkanal 10 geführte Brennstoff wird abgespritzt.In the idle state of the fuel injection valve 1, the Shoulder 8 by the force of the return spring 9 against the Lifting direction acted upon so that the valve closing body. 5 held on the valve seat 6 in sealing contact becomes. Upon excitation of the piezoelectric actuator 7 expands this in the axial direction against the spring force of Return spring 9 off, so that the shoulder 8 with the Valve needle 4, which with the shoulder 8 frictionally is connected, is moved in the stroke direction. Of the Valve closing body 5 lifts off from the valve seat surface 6, and the guided over the fuel passage 10 fuel is hosed.

Wird der piezoelektrische Aktor entladen, reduziert sich die axiale Ausdehnung des piezoelektrischen Aktors 7, wodurch die Ventilnadel 4 durch den Druck der Rückstellfeder 9 entgegen der Hubrichtung bewegt wird. Der Ventilschließkörper 5 setzt auf der Ventilsitzfläche 6 auf und das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 wird geschlossen.If the piezoelectric actuator is discharged, the reduced axial extent of the piezoelectric actuator 7, whereby the valve needle 4 by the pressure of the return spring. 9 is moved counter to the stroke direction. Of the Valve-closing body 5 is seated on the valve seat surface 6 and the fuel injection valve 1 is closed.

Eine gemischverdichtende, fremdgezundete Brennkraftmaschine stellt im Teillastbetrieb andere Anforderungen an die Form, die Stöchiometrie und das Penetrationsvermögen der in den Brennraum eingespritzten Gemischwolke als im Vollastbetrieb. Im Teillastbetrieb sollte die Gemischwolke, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, einen relativ kleinen Öffnungswinkel α1, ein großes Penetrationsvermögen, einen durch den kleinen Öffnungswinkel α1 bedingten schmalen Kernbereich mit fetterem Gemisch und eine sehr magere Hülle besitzen. Im Vollastbereich ist dagegen, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, ein großer Öffnungswinkel α2 und damit eine nahezu homogene Fullung des Zylinders mit zundfähigem Gemisch erforderlich.A mixture-compressing, externally-ignited internal combustion engine places other demands on the shape, the stoichiometry and the penetration capacity of the mixture cloud injected into the combustion chamber in partial-load operation than in full-load operation. In part-load operation, the mixture cloud, as shown in Fig. 1, a relatively small opening angle α 1 , a large penetration capacity, due to the small opening angle α 1 narrow core area with a richer mixture and have a very lean shell. In the full load range, however, as shown in Fig. 2, a large opening angle α 2 and thus a nearly homogeneous filling of the cylinder with zundfähigem mixture is required.

Um diesen Anforderungen an die Gemischbildung Rechnung zu tragen, sind für das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 zwei Hubzustände definiert, wodurch während des Betriebs unterschiedliche Strahlbilder darstellbar sind, welche entsprechend dem Betriebszustand der Brennkraftmaschine ausgewählt werden können.To take account of these requirements for mixture formation wear are for the invention Fuel injector 1 defines two stroke states, whereby during operation different jet patterns can be displayed, which according to the operating condition the internal combustion engine can be selected.

Fig. 1 zeigt das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 in einem ersten Hubzustand. Der Ventilschließkörper 5 hat bereits von der Ventilsitzfläche 6 abgehoben, gibt jedoch nur einen Spalt 13 von geringer Breite zwischen dem Ventilschließkörper 5 und der Ventilsitzfläche 6 frei. Durch die Geometrie des abströmseitigen Endes 14 des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1, welches in einem geneigten Bereich 15 abströmseitig der Ventilsitzfläche 6 eine geringere Neigung relativ zu einer Längsachse 16 des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 aufweist als die Ventilsitzfläche 6, legt sich in dem in Fig. 1 dargestellten ersten Hubzustand der aus dem Spalt 13 abgespritzte Brennstoffstrahl auf Grund des Entrainment der Strömung im Inneren des Einspritzstrahls an den geneigten Bereich 15 des abströmseitigen Endes 14 des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 an. Dadurch kann ein Brennstoffstrahl mit einem kleinen Öffnungswinkel α1 dargestellt werden, welcher ein großes, für den Schichtladebetrieb benötigtes Penetrationsvermögen aufweist.Fig. 1 shows the fuel injection valve 1 in a first stroke state. The valve closing body 5 has already lifted off from the valve seat surface 6, but only releases a gap 13 of small width between the valve closing body 5 and the valve seat surface 6. Due to the geometry of the downstream end 14 of the fuel injection valve 1, which in a sloping region 15 downstream of the valve seat 6 has a lower inclination relative to a longitudinal axis 16 of the fuel injection valve 1 than the valve seat surface 6, lies in the first stroke state shown in FIG from the gap 13 ejected fuel jet due to the entrainment of the flow in the interior of the injection jet to the inclined portion 15 of the downstream end 14 of the fuel injection valve 1 at. As a result, a fuel jet having a small opening angle α 1 can be represented, which has a large penetration capacity required for the stratified charge operation.

In Fig. 2 ist eine zweite Hubstellung des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 dargestellt. Der Ventilschließkörper 5 ist nun weiter von der Ventilsitzfläche 6 abgerückt, so daß der Spalt 13 weiter ist als in Fig. 1. Bedingt durch das Entrainment der Strömung außen am Einspritzstrahl des Spalts 13 legt sich der abgespritzte Brennstoffstrahl nun an den Ventilschließkörper 5 an, welcher eine relativ zur Längsachse 16 des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 große Neigung aufweist und somit zu einer starken Aufweitung des Brennstoffstrahls führt. Der Öffnungswinkel α2 ist somit gegenüber der ersten Hubstellung vergrößert, was für den Vollastbereich der Brennkraftmaschine vorteilhaft ist, da der gesamte Brennraum mit einem relativ homogenen, stöchiometrischen Gemisch gefüllt wird. 2, a second stroke position of the fuel injection valve 1 is shown. The valve closing body 5 is now further away from the valve seat surface 6, so that the gap 13 is wider than in Fig. 1. Due to the Entrainment the flow outside of the injection jet of the gap 13, the sprayed fuel jet now applies to the valve closing body 5, which a relative to the longitudinal axis 16 of the fuel injection valve 1 has great inclination and thus leads to a strong expansion of the fuel jet. The opening angle α 2 is thus increased compared to the first stroke position, which is advantageous for the full load range of the internal combustion engine, since the entire combustion chamber is filled with a relatively homogeneous, stoichiometric mixture.

Die verschiedenen Hubstellungen der Ventilnadel 4 können in einfacher Weise z. B. durch die Verwendung zweier separat ansteuerbarer Aktoren 7 angefahren werden. Dies können beispielsweise ein spannungsgeregelter bzw. spannungsgesteuerter Piezoaktor sowie zwei piezoelektrische Aktoren 7 sein, welche nacheinander angesteuert werden. Auch die Verwendung zweier Magnetkreise mit zwei separaten Spulen oder einem zweigeteilten Magnetanker ist denkbar.The different stroke positions of the valve needle 4 can in simple way z. B. by the use of two separately controllable actuators 7 are approached. This can For example, a voltage-controlled or voltage-controlled piezoelectric actuator and two piezoelectric Be actuators 7, which are controlled sequentially. Also the use of two magnetic circuits with two separate coils or a two-part armature is conceivable.

Durch eine geeignete Wahl der Neigung der Ventilsitzfläche 6 bzw des Ventilschließkörpers 5 und des geneigten Bereichs 15 sind die Strahlwinkel α1 und α2 so wählbar, daß der Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine optimal mit einem zündfähigen Brennstoff-Luft-Gemisch gefüllt werden kann. Die Herstellung des geneigten Bereichs 15 und der Ventilsitzfläche 6 kann dabei beispielsweise bei der Herstellung des Düsenkörpers 3 z. B. mittels Drehen erfolgen.By a suitable choice of the inclination of the valve seat surface 6 and the valve closing body 5 and the inclined portion 15, the beam angle α 1 and α 2 are selected so that the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine can be optimally filled with an ignitable fuel-air mixture. The preparation of the inclined portion 15 and the valve seat surface 6 may, for example, in the manufacture of the nozzle body 3 z. B. by turning.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf das dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel beschränkt und für beliebige Bauweisen von Brennstoffeinspritzventilen 1 mit beliebigen Aktoren 7 anwendbar.The invention is not limited to that shown Embodiment limited and for any construction of fuel injection valves 1 with arbitrary actuators. 7 applicable.
