Definitions
- the invention relates to an injection module.
- a movable insert is provided, which is used, for example, to transmit a deflection of an actuator to an injection needle of an injection valve.
- piezoelectric actuators are used, a precise adjustment of the movable insert in relation to an actuator is required. This is necessary because, on the one hand, piezoelectric actuators can only achieve a small movement stroke and, on the other hand, due to different coefficients of thermal expansion between the injection valve housing and the piezoelectric actuator, a defined idle stroke between the piezoelectric actuator and an actuator to be controlled must be maintained.
- This defined idle stroke must first be overcome when actuated by the actuator element before the state of the injection valve can be changed.
- This has the disadvantage that higher control voltages and / or relatively large piezoelectric actuator elements are necessary in order to provide the necessary actuating path for controlling the injection valve.
- Injection module is provided with a housing in which an actuator element and an injection valve is arranged.
- the actuator element is designed to control the injection valve by changing the length.
- a compensating element is connected to the actuator element in order to compensate for the negative influences caused by the change in length of the housing due to thermal expansion.
- This compensating element has its own thermal expansion, which is added to the thermal expansion of the actuator element. In this way, the thermal expansion of the compensating element and the actuator element can be set precisely.
- the common thermal expansion of the actuator element and compensating element to the thermal expansion of the housing, there is no need to maintain a defined idle stroke between the actuator element and the actuator to be controlled. This makes it possible to provide smaller actuator elements, since the necessary actuating stroke of the actuator element can be reduced. Alternatively, the control voltage of the actuator element for controlling the injection valve can be reduced.
- the compensating element is held at a stopping point such that the thermal expansion of the housing between the stopping point and the injection valve essentially corresponds to the common thermal expansion of the actuator element and the compensating element.
- the actuator element is not connected directly to the housing but to the housing via the compensating element.
- a heat-conducting element is arranged on the compensating element in order to bring about heat compensation between the compensating element and the housing.
- the heat-conducting element has the function of counteracting a temperature difference between the housing and the compensation or actuator element. It enables faster temperature compensation between the various elements. This is necessary because the thermal expansions of the housing and the compensating element and the actuator element must be matched to one another if they have the same temperature. Especially in the
- the start-up phase of the engine the components of the injection module have different temperatures, since heating takes place from the outside.
- the provision of the heat-conducting element thus has the advantage of a faster temperature compensation between the outside, i.e. the housing, and the interior of the injection module, i.e. the compensating element and the actuator element.
- the heat-conducting element is both in contact with the housing and also in contact with the compensating element. This has the advantage that better heat transfer via the heat-conducting element is possible due to the direct contact.
- the heat-conducting element as a sleeve, preferably a metal sleeve, made of a highly heat-conductive material, in particular copper, brass, silver or the like. has, is formed.
- the sleeve can be arranged around the compensating element and is therefore easy to assemble by sliding it onto a cylindrical compensating element.
- the sleeve has longitudinal slots, the webs formed by the longitudinal slots being curved.
- the webs allow the sleeve to be clamped between the housing and the compensating element, it being irrelevant whether the webs are curved inwards or outwards. If the webs are curved inwards, they rest on the compensating element and press the edges of the sleeve against an inner wall of the housing. If the webs are curved outwards, they lie against the inside wall of the housing the edges of the sleeve are in contact with the compensating element.
- FIG. 1 shows an injection module according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration of the compensating element according to a preferred embodiment of the invention
- 3 shows a possible embodiment of a heating element.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section through an injection module with a housing 1, into which an actuator element 2 is introduced.
- the housing 1 is screwed to a clamping nut 3.
- the clamping nut 3 clamps a nozzle body 4 and a valve plate 5 into the housing 1.
- the nozzle body 4 rests with an upper end surface on a lower end surface of the valve plate 5.
- the valve plate 5 in turn rests with an upper end surface on a lower end surface of the housing 1.
- the actuator element 2 is located between a base plate 7 and a compensating element 6.
- a spring sleeve is arranged around the actuator element 2 in order to prestress the actuator element 2.
- the base plate 7 is arranged to be movable relative to the housing 1.
- the base plate 7 has a control pin 16 which is assigned to a pin part 23 of a closing element 8.
- the closing member 8 is arranged in a drain opening 17 of the valve plate 5.
- the drain opening 17 is essentially cylindrical and tapers in a conical shape in the upper region.
- the conical area of the drain opening 17 represents a sealing seat for the closing member 8.
- the closing member 8 is essentially cylindrical in shape and also tapers in the upper area via a conical shape into the pin part 23.
- the drain opening 17 stands over an inlet bore 18, which is introduced into the guide plate 11, with an inlet channel 10 in connection, which in Housing 1 is guided and represents a fuel connection.
- An inlet throttle 19 is arranged between the inlet bore 18 and the outlet opening 17.
- the drain opening 17 is in hydraulic connection with a control chamber 20 which is introduced into the guide plate 11 and is delimited by a movably mounted control piston 21.
- the control piston 21 is operatively connected to a valve needle 12, the tip of which is associated with an injection opening 14.
- a sealing seat for the tip of the valve needle 12 is formed around the injection opening 14.
- a fuel chamber 13 is formed between the valve needle 14 and the nozzle body 4 and is also connected to the inlet channel 10. For this purpose, corresponding fuel holes are made in the nozzle body 4, in the guide plate 11 and in the valve plate 5.
- the actuator element 2 is preferably designed as a piezoelectric actuator and is controlled via control lines 30, which are supplied to the actuator element 2 via a control line channel 31.
- the compensating element 6 is essentially provided with a bore parallel to its longitudinal axis, as a result of which the control lines 30 are guided.
- the injection valve works in the following manner: when the actuator element 2 is not activated, the control pin 16 does not act on the pin part of the closing element 8.
- the inlet channel 10 is connected to a fuel reservoir, which holds fuel at a high pressure. Consequently, there is high pressure fuel in the fuel chamber 13, the control chamber 20 and the drain opening 17. Due to the high fuel pressure, the closing member 8 is pressed into the associated sealing seat and closes the drain opening 17. At the same time, the valve needle 12 is closed by the high fuel pressure prevails in the control chamber 20, over the control piston 21 down to the sealing seat Injection opening 14 pressed. As a result, the injection opening 14 is closed and there is no injection.
- the actuator element 2 If the actuator element 2 is now actuated, ie energized, the actuator element 2 expands and thereby presses the base plate 7 down and thus the control pin 16 against the pin part 23 of the closing element 8. As a result, the closing element 8 is removed from the associated sealing seat lifted. As a result, the drain opening 17 is opened and fuel flows out of the control chamber 20. The fuel pressure in the control chamber 20 thus drops, since less fuel flows in via the inlet throttle 19 than flows out via the outlet opening 17. Since the valve needle 12 has a pressure shoulder 15 in the area of the fuel chamber 13, the high fuel pressure prevailing in the fuel chamber 13 lifts the valve needle 12 from the sealing seat of the injection opening 14. The injection opening 14 is thus opened and the fuel is dispensed from the fuel chamber 13 via the injection opening 14. Usually, between the Steue * rdorn 16 and the closing member
- the idle stroke section serves to absorb thermal expansions between the housing and the actuator element without triggering the control mandrel 16.
- the compensating element 6 is connected with its end facing away from the actuator element 2 to the housing 1 via a clamping screw 32. With its other end, the compensating element 6 is attached to the actuator element.
- the actuator element 2 lies against the base plate and at one end of the compensating element 6.
- the thermal expansion of compensating element 6 and actuator element 2 is equal to the thermal expansion of compensating element 6 and actuator element 2. Since piezo actuators often have ceramic materials, their thermal expansion is generally low. In contrast, the housing 1 is often made of a metallic material that has a wide from higher thermal expansion coefficients. When the injection module is heated, the length of the interior in the housing in which the actuator element 2 is located increases, and an idle stroke is formed, which makes it necessary to use a higher control voltage for actuating the actuator element 2, or that a larger actuator element 2 must be provided in order to produce the larger travel. To avoid this, the compensating element 6 is provided, which has a higher expansion coefficient than the actuator element 2, in order to avoid the occurrence of the idle stroke due to thermal expansion.
- the compensating element 6 preferably has a thermal expansion coefficient which is above the thermal expansion coefficient of the housing 1 in order to compensate for the lower thermal expansion coefficient of the actuator element 2.
- a compensating element 6 is to be provided, the thermal expansion coefficient of which is lower than that of the housing 1.
- the thermal expansion coefficients are adapted to the lengths of the actuator element 2, the compensating element 6, that the housing and the common thermal expansion of the compensating element 6 and the actuator element 2 are identical in the event of uniform heating. This results from the following formula:
- L A usi e i c s e i emen t corresponds to the length of the compensation element 6.
- the injection module does not heat up evenly, but from the outside in. This creates thermal stresses that are caused by different length changes of the elements due to different expansion coefficients. These tensions cannot be completely avoided.
- a heat-conducting element 33 is provided.
- the heat-conducting element 33 is designed in the form of a sleeve which lies around the compensating element 6.
- the heat-conducting element 33 designed as a sleeve 33 has slots, as a result of which webs are formed. These webs are preferably curved outwards and bear against an inner wall of the housing 1 under a certain pretension.
- the sleeve 33 is preferably metallic and has a particularly good thermal conductivity.
- the sleeve 33 can contain the materials copper, brass, silver and other materials which are particularly good heat conductors.
- the webs of the sleeve 33 are bent outwards, they form a contact for heat transfer with the housing 1. With the edge regions of the sleeve 33, the sleeve 33 abuts the compensating element 6. Continuous heat conduction between the housing 1 and the compensating element 6 is thus made available.
- the webs 34 of the heat-conducting element 33 are bent inwards, the Edge parts 35 of the sleeve 33 bear against the inner wall of the housing 1 and the inwardly curved webs 34 come into contact with the compensating element. It is essential that the heat-conducting element does not hinder or prevent the movement of the compensating element 6 due to thermal expansion. For this purpose, the heat-conducting element 33 must allow a sliding movement between the compensating element 6 and the heat-conducting element 33 or between the heat-conducting element 33 and the inner wall of the housing 1.
- a plurality of heat conducting elements 33 can also be provided. This increases the contact area between the inner wall of the housing 1 and the sleeve 33 or between the sleeve and the compensating element 6, as a result of which the temperature compensation is accelerated. In this way, the thermal stresses that can arise due to different temperatures of housing 1, actuator element 2 and compensating element 6 are reduced.
- the heat-conducting element 33 is designed as a braced element which bears under a mechanical tension in the compensating element and the inner wall of the housing 1.
- Such elements can be curved plates, for example.
- the sleeve 33 is slotted over its entire length and is preferably made of a flexible material. As a result, the sleeve 33 can adapt better to the inner wall of the housing 1 and / or to the compensating element 6.
