Abstract
Description
L'invention concerne les injecteurs de moteur de véhicule.The invention relates to the engine injectors of vehicle.
On connaít du document US2002/0070298 un injecteur de moteur muni d'un générateur d'ondes ultrasonores permettant entre autres choses de nettoyer l'intérieur de l'injecteur afin d'éviter son encrassement.Document US2002 / 0070298 discloses an injector motor with an ultrasonic wave generator allowing among other things to clean the interior injector to prevent clogging.
Toutefois, ce dispositif a pour inconvénient qu'il complique la structure de l'injecteur.However, this device has the disadvantage that it complicates the structure of the injector.
Un but de l'invention est de permettre le nettoyage des injecteurs sans compliquer leur structure.An object of the invention is to allow cleaning injectors without complicating their structure.
A cet effet, on prévoit selon l'invention un moteur comprenant :
- un rail d'injecteur ; et
- un générateur d'ondes ultrasonores,
- an injector rail; and
- an ultrasonic wave generator,
Ainsi, les ondes se trouvant générées à distance de l'injecteur, la structure de l'injecteur se trouve simplifiée. Au surplus, le même générateur peut générer des ondes à destination de plusieurs injecteurs du moteur, voire de la totalité des injecteurs du moteur. On simplifie donc globalement la structure du moteur tout en réduisant son coût.Thus, the waves being generated at a distance of the injector, the structure of the injector is simplified. In addition, the same generator can generate waves to several injectors engine, or all of the engine injectors. So we simplify the overall structure of the engine while reducing its cost.
Le moteur selon l'invention pourra présenter en outre au moins l'une quelconque des caractéristiques suivantes :
- le générateur est unique et agencé de sorte que les ondes se propagent jusqu'à au moins deux injecteurs du moteur ;
- le générateur comprend un actionneur piezo-électrique ;
- le générateur s'étend à une extrémité longitudinale du rail ;
- il comprend une membrane directement reliée au générateur pour recevoir les ondes et agencée pour être en contact avec un carburant présent dans le rail ;
- la membrane présente une première face en contact avec le générateur et une deuxième face destinée à être en contact avec le carburant ;
- la membrane est en appui sur un épaulement ;
- la membrane est serrée par un écrou ; et
- il s'agit d'un moteur diesel.
- the generator is unique and arranged so that the waves propagate to at least two injectors of the engine;
- the generator comprises a piezoelectric actuator;
- the generator extends at a longitudinal end of the rail;
- it comprises a membrane directly connected to the generator for receiving the waves and arranged to be in contact with a fuel present in the rail;
- the membrane has a first face in contact with the generator and a second face intended to be in contact with the fuel;
- the membrane is supported on a shoulder;
- the membrane is tightened by a nut; and
- it is a diesel engine.
On prévoit également selon l'invention un procédé pour nettoyer un injecteur de moteur, dans lequel on génère des ondes ultrasonores dans un rail du moteur de sorte que les ondes se propagent jusqu'à au moins un injecteur du moteur.Also provided according to the invention a method to clean an engine injector, in which one generates ultrasonic waves in a motor rail of so that the waves propagate to at least one engine injector.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront encore dans la description suivante d'un mode préféré de réalisation donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence aux dessins annexés sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une vue schématique du circuit d'injection d'un moteur selon un mode préféré de réalisation de l'invention ; et
- la figure 2 est une vue plus détaillée et en coupe axiale partielle du circuit de la figure 1.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of the injection circuit of an engine according to a preferred embodiment of the invention; and
- FIG. 2 is a more detailed view in partial axial section of the circuit of FIG. 1.
Nous allons décrire en références aux figures 1 et 2 un mode préféré de réalisation du moteur selon l'invention. Il s'agit d'un moteur à combustion interne de véhicule et en l'espèce d'un moteur diesel. We will describe with reference to FIGS. 2 a preferred embodiment of the motor according to the invention. It is an internal combustion engine vehicle and in this case a diesel engine.
Le moteur 2 comprend de façon classique une pompe à
haute pression 4 ainsi qu'un rail d'injecteur 6 ayant
une forme générale allongée. La pompe 4 est apte à
amener le carburant sous pression jusque dans le rail 6,
en l'introduisant dans le rail à partir d'une extrémité
longitudinale de celui-ci, située à gauche sur la figure
1. Ce mélange sera injecté dans les cylindres du moteur
pour son fonctionnement.The
De façon également classique, le moteur comprend plusieurs injecteurs 8, par exemple au nombre de 4 ou 6, alimentés en parallèle chacun à partir du rail 6 avec le carburant. Chacun de ces injecteurs est en communication avec l'un des cylindres du moteur de façon à amener le carburant jusque dans la chambre de combustion définie par ce cylindre. On pourra prévoir qu'à chaque cylindre est affecté en propre un seul des injecteurs 8.In a similar way, the engine includes several injectors 8, for example 4 or 6, fed in parallel each from the rail 6 with the fuel. Each of these injectors is in communication with one of the engine cylinders so as to bring the fuel into the defined combustion chamber by this cylinder. We can predict that each cylinder is assigned to only one of the injectors 8.
Selon l'invention, le moteur comprend un générateur
10 d'ondes ultrasonores. Ce générateur est en l'espèce
positionné à l'extrémité longitudinale droite du rail
opposée à l'extrémité gauche associée à la pompe 4.According to the invention, the engine comprises a
En référence à la figure 2, le générateur 10
comprend un actuateur piezo-électrique 12 ainsi qu'un
boítier 13 de commande de l'actuateur 12.With reference to FIG. 2, the
Le moteur comprend une membrane plane circulaire 14
s'étendant dans un plan perpendiculaire à la direction
longitudinale du rail. La membrane est en appui par la
zone de son bord périphérique et par sa face avant 16
contre un épaulement annulaire 18 du rail. La membrane
présente une deuxième face 20 opposée à la première face
16 et en contact avec l'actuateur 12 au centre de cette
face. La membrane 14 pourra être par exemple en métal ou
en matière plastique. The engine comprises a circular
Le moteur comprend des moyens de fixation de la
membrane dans le rail, constitués en l'espèce par un
écrou 19 sollicitant du coté de la deuxième face 20 la
membrane en direction de l'épaulement 18. La première
face 16 de la membrane est destinée à être en contact
avec le liquide 22 remplissant la chambre interne du
rail 6.The engine comprises means for fixing the
membrane in the rail, constituted in this case by a
En fonctionnement, le générateur 10 produit des
ondes ultrasonores directement transmises à la membrane
14, reçues par celle-ci, et transmises au carburant 22
remplissant le rail. Chacun des injecteurs 8 étant par
ailleurs en communication de carburant avec l'intérieur
du rail, ces ondes se propagent à travers le liquide 22
à l'intérieur de chaque injecteur 8 jusqu'à la buse
d'injection afin de nettoyer ceux-ci. Lorsque chaque
injecteur réalise l'injection du carburant dans la
chambre du cylindre associé, les ondes nettoient le ou
les orifices de l'injecteur.In operation, the
Un tel agencement permet d'empêcher l'encrassement des buses d'injection diesel. Cela permet de conserver un bon état de propreté dans les injecteurs sans avoir à les démonter. Le nettoyage ayant lieu lors de l'injection, il se produit au fur et à mesure de l'encrassement des buses.Such an arrangement makes it possible to prevent fouling diesel injection nozzles. This keeps a good state of cleanliness in the injectors without having to disassemble them. Cleaning taking place during injection, it occurs as and when clogging of the nozzles.
L'invention s'applique à tout type de buses et surtout aux buses très perméables sensibles aux phénomènes d'encrassement, lesquelles sont très utiles pour atteindre les futures normes de dépollution.The invention applies to all types of nozzles and especially to highly permeable nozzles sensitive to fouling phenomena, which are very useful to reach the future standards of depollution.
L'interposition de la membrane entre d'une part le
carburant 22 sous pression et d'autre part l'actuateur
12 permet d'équilibrer la membrane en pression sans
qu'elle subisse des sollicitations déséquilibrées. The interposition of the membrane between on the one hand the
fuel 22 under pressure and secondly the
On pourra apporter à l'invention de nombreuses
modifications sans sortir du cadre de celle-ci. On
pourra prévoir de positionner le générateur 10 à un
autre endroit qu'à l'extrémité longitudinale du rail,
par exemple latéralement en regard des injecteurs 8.We can bring to the invention many
changes without departing from the scope thereof. We
may provide to position the
