Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine, as it corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
- a fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine, as it corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
- a fuel injection valve is known, for example, from the published patent application DE 27 11 391 and has a valve body, in which a hollow valve needle is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable in a bore.
- the valve hollow needle has a conical valve sealing surface on its combustion chamber end, with which it interacts with a conical valve seat which forms the combustion chamber end of the bore.
- a valve needle is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, which likewise has a conical valve contact surface and interacts with the valve seat.
- Both the hollow valve needle and the valve needle control the fuel flow to at least one injection opening, through which fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- a fuel injection valve is known from the published patent application DE 27 11 390, in which the hollow valve needle has no flattening but tapers out sharply. Although this reduces the dead volume and thus has a favorable effect on the hydrocarbon emissions of the internal combustion engine, there is the disadvantage here that the inner needle can easily jam in the outer needle. Due to the fact that the hollow valve needle rests on the conical valve seat, the hollow valve needle is slightly deformed radially inwards, so that the already very small annular gap between the valve needle and the hollow valve needle is further reduced. This can lead to increased wear between these two components which are slidably mounted against one another, which leads to a reduction in the service life of the fuel injector.
- the fuel injection valve according to the invention with the characterizing features of patent claim 1 has the advantage over the prior art that clamping of the valve needle in the hollow valve needle is effectively prevented while at the same time reducing hydrocarbon emissions from the fuel injection valve.
- the hollow valve needle has a chamfer at its tip, which preferably adjoins the conical valve sealing surface directly. Since the outermost valve tip is no longer directly influenced by the force that is generated by pressing the hollow valve needle against the conical valve seat, the valve hollow needle is deformed to a significantly lesser extent, and this causes jamming or excessive wear on the loading - prevents movement of the valve needle in the hollow valve needle.
- the volume between the hollow valve needle, the valve needle and the valve seat, when both the valve needle and the hollow valve needle rest against the valve seat remains so small that there is no significant increase in the hydrocarbon emissions of the internal combustion engine.
- FIG. 1 shows a valve body in longitudinal section
- FIG. 2 shows an enlargement of FIG. 1 in the area of the valve seat, the valve hollow needle being shown in section
- L5 shows an embodiment of the fuel injection valve according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows the same detail as FIG. 2, the hollow valve needle being shown uncut here.
- FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a fuel injection valve according to the invention.
- a bore 3 is formed in a valve body 1, and a conical valve seat 18 is formed at the end on the combustion chamber side.
- a piston-shaped hollow valve needle 5 is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable.
- the hollow valve needle 5 is sealingly guided in the section 3 facing away from the combustion chamber and tapers towards the valve seat 18 to form a pressure shoulder 14.
- the hollow valve needle 5 has a conical valve sealing surface 24, which in the closed position of the hollow valve needle 5 on the valve seat 18 comes to the plant.
- a pressure chamber 10 is formed between the hollow valve needle 5 and the wall of the bore 3 and is radially expanded at the level of the 5 pressure shoulder 14. In the radial expansion of the pressure chamber 10 opens a valve body 1 formed inlet channel 12, through which the pressure chamber 10 can be filled with fuel under high pressure.
- the hollow valve needle 5 has a longitudinal bore 6, the longitudinal axis of which coincides with the longitudinal axis 8 of the hollow valve needle 5.
- a valve needle 7 is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable, which has a conical valve contact surface 26 at its end on the combustion chamber side, which also comes into contact with the valve seat 18 in the closed position of the valve needle 7.
- a first guide section 16 facing away from the combustion chamber and a second guide section 17 facing towards the combustion chamber are formed on the valve needle 7, in which it is guided relatively closely in the hollow valve needle 5.
- the play between the second guide section 17 and the wall of the longitudinal bore 6 is very small, preferably less than 10 ⁇ m.
- a relatively large annular gap is formed between these two guide sections 16, 17 between the valve needle 7 and the wall of the longitudinal bore 6, so that the valve needle 7 is actually only guided on the two guide sections 16, 17.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlargement of FIG. 1 in the area of the valve seat 18 and FIG. 3 shows the same detail as FIG. 2, the hollow valve needle 5 not being shown here in section.
- the hollow valve needle 5 bears against the valve seat 18, the valve sealing surface 24 closing the outer injection openings 20.
- the valve needle 7 likewise closes the inner injection openings 22 with its valve contact surface 26.
- annular groove 32 is formed on the valve needle 7, which is delimited on the one hand by the cylindrical section of the valve needle 7 and on the other hand by the valve contact surface 26 Annular groove 32 results in a contact surface for the fuel pressure of the pressure chamber 10 when the pressure acts on the valve needle 7.
- Both the hollow valve needle 5 and the valve needle 7 are acted upon by a device (not shown in the drawing), for example a spring, with a closing force in the direction of the valve seat 18, so that they remain in their closed position in the absence of additional forces.
- a device for example a spring
- valve needle 7 initially remains in its closed position until the hydraulic pressure now acting on the pressure shoulder, which is formed by the annular groove 32, is sufficient to overcome the closing force on the valve needle 7. If the valve needle 7 also moves out of its closed position, fuel is injected in addition to the outer injection openings 20 also through the inner injection openings 22. If, on the other hand, injection is to take place only through the outer injection openings 20, the closing force is applied to the valve needle 7 held so high that it does not move out of its closed position due to the hydraulic pressure. In this way, only a part of the total injection cross section or the entire injection cross section can be controlled for the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
- Embodiment At the end of the hollow valve needle 5 on the combustion chamber side, in addition to the valve sealing surface 24, which comes into contact with the valve seat 18 in the closed position of the hollow valve needle 5 Embodiment another conical surface 124 formed, which borders on the valve sealing surface 24 and extends to the cylindrical region of the hollow valve needle 5.
- the cone forming the conical surface of the chamfer 30, however, has a larger opening angle than the valve sealing surface 24.
- the chamfer 30, prevents the hollow valve needle 5 from experiencing a radially inwardly directed force on its combustion-side end due to its contact with the conical valve seat 18, whereby the valve needle 7 can become jammed in the hollow valve needle 5.
- the valve hollow needle 5 has a sufficient wall thickness in the area of the valve sealing surface 24, so that the closing force on the valve hollow needle 5 results in only a very slight deformation in the radial direction and the valve needle 7 maintains sufficient mobility in the longitudinal bore 6.
- the chamfer 30 also ensures that the space between the hollow valve needle 7, the valve needle 5 and the valve seat 18 does not become too large.
- valve sealing surface 24 Since the angles of inclination of the valve sealing surface 24, the valve contact surface 26 and the valve seat 18 are optimized so that a sealing of the injection openings 20, 22 against the pressure chamber 10 is ensured, it can happen that fuel from the valve seat 18 and the valve needles 5, 7 formed cavity in the injection breaks through the injection openings 20, 22 in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine and there leads to increased hydrocarbon emissions. This volume can be minimized by an appropriate angle of inclination of the chamfers 30 without impairing the wear reduction.
