Definitions
- Piezo sensor system for detection of the needle stroke of an injection nozzle of a common rail injector
- the invention relates to an injection nozzle for a common rail injector with a nozzle needle biased by a spring and closing a nozzle opening, the spring being arranged between a housing shoulder and a contact surface of the nozzle needle.
- the injection quantity and the start of injection are important parameters for the optimal operation of diesel engines. Their detection enables the load and speed-dependent setting of the injection process in a closed control loop.
- the current methods for determining the needle stroke are imprecise, since the needle stroke is detected spatially far from the nozzle opening or nozzle needle tip. The influence of a control piston or a push rod between an actuator and the nozzle needle falsifies the result.
- the injection nozzle for fuel is already known from US Pat. No. 6,235,736 B1.
- the injection nozzle has a nozzle needle and a control piston arranged axially to the nozzle needle.
- the control piston is biased upwards via a first spring and is set in the axial direction via a piezo element.
- the nozzle needle is biased downwards by a second spring, i.e. opposite to the control piston, and closes the nozzle opening in the lower position.
- the upper end face of the nozzle needle abuts a lower end face of the control piston and thus generates an additional actuating force upwards.
- the control piston moves back to its upper end position and closes the flow opening.
- the nozzle needle is then again in the pressure force equilibrium, so that the resulting spring force executes the closing movement and closes the nozzle opening.
- the position of the nozzle needle is detected via the position of the control piston.
- the object of the invention is to design and arrange an injection nozzle in such a way that optimal detection of the movement of the nozzle needle is ensured.
- a piezo element is provided between the housing shoulder and the spring for detecting the spring force. This ensures that the spring force resulting from spring preload and nozzle needle stroke and thus the actuating movement of the nozzle needle is determined in a simple manner.
- the piezo element can be arranged directly behind the spring, so that no further costs arise from design changes.
- a piezo element is provided between the contact surface of the nozzle needle and the spring.
- the piezo element is designed in a ring shape or as a toroid with a first end face and a second end face opposite the first end face det and has a first electrical connection in the region of the first end face and a second electrical connection in the region of the second end face.
- the piezo element is thus arranged between the force introduction points of the spring and the housing shoulder or the contact surface, so that the load-dependent charge shift of the piezo element is determined via the first and the second electrical connection.
- the displacement charge can be determined in a simple manner by integrating the displacement current of the piezo element during a movement.
- the intermediate values for the travel path x can be interpolated between the two end positions of the travel path x of the nozzle needle.
- Both the resulting spring force and the piezo element are linear with respect to the displacement x or the actuating force and have a very low hysteresis effect.
- the decrease _dex. Stiffness of the spring due to signs of aging or fatigue of the piezo element can be corrected taking into account the drift of the measured values.
- the influence of the temperature leads to an expansion of the nozzle needle and the injector housing and to a change in the piezo element characteristic. This temperature dependency is calculated over the maximum stroke and taken into account accordingly.
- the dead time due to the inertia of the spring between the control signal for the actuator of the nozzle needle and the actuating signal of the nozzle needle according to the invention can be used for decoupling the control signal.
- the housing shoulder and the piezo element have a common opening which is arranged concentrically with the piezo element.
- An actuator (not shown) for the nozzle needle is arranged in this opening.
- a section of an injection nozzle ' 1 is shown within a partially illustrated injector housing with a housing shoulder 5 and a lower housing part 1.1.
- a nozzle opening 3 is provided, which is opened or closed via a nozzle needle 4.
- the nozzle needle 4 has a contact surface 6 with which the nozzle needle 4 bears against a spring 2.
- a piezo element 7 is provided as a counter bearing on the side of the spring 2 opposite the nozzle needle 4, which in turn bears against the housing shoulder 5.
- the nozzle needle 4 is on its contact surface 6 with the spring 2 relative to the piezo element 7 and the housing shoulder -5 biased.
- the piezo element 7 is cylindrical and has an average diameter that corresponds to the average diameter of the spring 2.
- the piezo element 7 has a first end face 7.1 resting against the spring 2 and a second end face 7.2 resting against the housing shoulder 5.
- the first end faces 7.1 have a first electrical connection 8.1 and the second end face 7.2 has a second electrical connection 8.2.
- the charge displacement current I within the piezo element 7 is tapped via the electrical connections 8.1, 8.2.
- the opening movement x emanating from a closed, possibly prestressed, position of the nozzle needle 4 generates an increase in force on the piezo element 7 which is proportional to the travel path x, the proportionality factor corresponding to the spring constant D.
- the travel x of the nozzle needle 4 can thus be determined by the formula
