Definitions
- the invention is based on a support element for spacing a fuel distributor line from a fuel injection valve used in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a disadvantage of the fastening device known from DE 29 26 490 C2 is, in particular, the bracing effect of the various mounting parts on the fuel injector.
- the force flow generated in the fuel injector leads to deformations and thus to changes in the stroke of the valve needle up to jamming and to a pressure or bending load on the housing parts, which are generally thin-walled and welded together at several points.
- each fastening measure leads, for example, to an increase in the radial expansion of the fuel injection valve, and thus to an increased space requirement during installation, due to a support collar.
- the support element according to the invention for a fuel injector with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage over the fact that the fuel distributor line is free of radial force on the fuel injection valve via the support element according to the invention. supports and thus tension and subsequent damage to the fuel injector and the connection of the fuel distribution line are eliminated.
- the support element ensures both a transfer of the hold-down force of the fuel rail to the fuel injector and a flexible fixation to compensate for tolerances and offsets.
- the support element can be produced in a simple manner by stamping from sheet metal.
- Punched-out recesses advantageously ensure a secure fixation of the support element on the fuel injection valve and simple support of the fuel distributor line while being easy to manufacture.
- Different lug shapes can advantageously be designed in such a way that a more or less strong elastic and plastic deformation enables a support between the fuel distributor line and the fuel injection valve that is optimized depending on the installation situation.
- FIG. 1A shows a schematic, partially sectioned view of an exemplary embodiment of a support element designed according to the invention combinable fuel injector before assembly;
- FIG. 1B is a schematic, partially sectioned view of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A in the assembled state
- FIG. IC shows a plan view of the exemplary embodiment of a support element designed according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B;
- 2A-D show four preferred embodiments for support elements designed without radial force
- 3A-C a fifth preferred embodiment of a radial force-free support element in three different views
- 5A-C a seventh preferred embodiment of a radial force-free support element in three different views.
- FIG. 1A to IC show schematic partial sections through an exemplary embodiment of a fuel injection valve 1, a fuel distributor line 2 and a support element 3, designed according to the invention, to be fitted between them before and after the assembly of the components mentioned.
- a fuel injection valve 1 is designed in the form of a direct injection fuel injection valve 1, which is used for the direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a non-illustrated, in particular mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engine in a valve receptacle Cylinder head can be used.
- the valve receptacle can also be provided on a receptacle of an intake pipe, not shown.
- the fuel injection valve 1 has a plug-in connection at an inlet-soap end 4 to a receiving connector of a fuel distributor line 2, which is sealed by a seal 5 between the fuel distributor line 2 and a supply connector 6 of the fuel injector 1.
- the fuel injector 1 has an electrical connection 7 for the electrical contacting for actuating the fuel injector 1.
- the support element 3 is provided according to the invention.
- the support element 3 consists of a bracket 8, which is supported on the one hand on a shoulder 9 of the fuel injector 1 and on the other hand on a shoulder 10 of the fuel distributor line 2.
- the clamp 8 is slotted in the area of the electrical connection 7 of the fuel injection valve 1 in order to facilitate assembly.
- Fig. IC it can be seen that the first embodiment of a support element 3 designed according to the invention has a round cross section. Alternative shapes are shown in Figs. 3C and 4.
- Bracket 8 Two tabs 11 are connected to the bracket 8 and provide a resilient tension of the fuel rail 2 against the fuel injector 1.
- a detailed representation of the bracket 8 is the views in FIGS. 3A to 3C, 4 and 5A to 5C and the following description refer to.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B show schematic, partially sectioned sections of the fuel injection system shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B in the region of the connecting piece 6 the fuel injector 1 and the fuel rail 2.
- 2A to 2D represent various possibilities for supporting the radial forces between the support element 3 and the fuel injection valve 1 for round support elements 3.
- a first, simplest embodiment is shown, in which the support element 3 is guided by a guide element 12, which can be, for example, the cylinder head, so that a radial evasion of the support element 3 by the fuel rail
- the support element 3 is provided with an at least partially circumferential groove 13 which, together with a projection 14 formed on the shoulder 9 of the fuel injection valve 1, also ensures that the tabs 11 of the support element are engaged
- a bevel on the shoulder 9 of the fuel injection valve 1 and / or the tabs 11 of the support element 3 is also suitable for supporting the shoulder 9 of the fuel injection valve 1 without radial force.
- FIG. 2C only the shoulder 9 is inclined at an angle ⁇ , while in FIG. 2D both the shoulder 9 of the fuel injection valve 1 and the tabs 11 of the support element 3 are inclined at an angle ⁇ which is preferably of the same size. This measure can also prevent the tabs 11 from migrating under axial force.
- the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 2C has the advantage of being easy to manufacture, the support element 3 being able to be adopted unchanged.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 Embodiment of a support element 3 designed according to the invention in the unassembled state.
- the same components are provided with the same reference numerals in all figures.
- FIG. 3A shows a side view of the support element 3 designed according to the invention
- FIG. 3B shows a front view
- FIG. 3C shows a top view
- FIG. 4 shows a top view of a further embodiment variant to be seen as an alternative to FIG. 3C.
- Fig. 3A shows the support element 3 designed according to the invention with the bracket 8 and the tabs 11.
- the tabs 11 are designed due to their shape and their approach to the bracket 8 so that they can be plastically and elastically deformed under axial load and thereby an axial force Introduce into fuel injector 1.
- FIG. 1B the brackets 11 rest on the shoulder 9 of the fuel injector 1.
- 3B shows a view of the slotted side of the support element 3. In the area of the slit 15, when the support element 3 is in the assembled state, the electrical connection 7 of the fuel injection valve 1 is located.
- 3C and 4 show, in the same view in the outflow direction, two possible design variants for the support element 3.
- the support element 3 In order to prevent the support element 3 from migrating radially through the axial introduction of force through the fuel distributor line 2 and thereby causing tension in the fuel injection valve 1 in the cylinder head or bending of
- the support element 3 is not round on the one hand, but is designed in a roughly rectangular or square cross-sectional shape, with additional edges 16, which form the closure of the clamp 8 on both sides of the slot 15, towards that Fuel injector 1 are turned radially inward. It is thereby achieved that the edges 16 rest over their entire axial length on the fuel injection valve 1 and thereby prevent the support element 3 from slipping.
- the embodiment variant shown in FIG. 4 has the advantage of being easy to manufacture with a high clamping effect, while the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 3C effectively prevents the edges from bending open.
- FIG. 5A to 5C show a further exemplary embodiment of a support element 3 designed according to the invention.
- This has annular tabs 11 which are connected to the bracket 8.
- a recess 17 in the annular tabs 11 ensures a higher elasticity of the tabs 11 and thus a greater tolerance to axial tension.
- the edges 16 can be configured as in FIG. 3C or 4.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown and can also be used, for example, for fuel injection valves 1 for injection into the combustion chamber of a self-igniting internal combustion engine.
