Definitions
- the invention relates to a connecting device that is suitable for connecting to a connector.
- the invention further relates to a connecting arrangement comprising a connecting device and a connector.
- the connecting device of this kind of a connecting arrangement is particularly suitable for use in a fuel supply device of an internal combustion engine.
- an injection valve for an internal combustion engine is known and the arrangement of the injection valve in a fuel feed device of an internal combustion engine.
- the injection valve has a connecting element that is fitted into a tubular recess of a connection of a fuel rail.
- the connecting element of the injection valve also has a tubular recess.
- the injection valve has a sealing ring that is arranged radially around the connecting element.
- a thread, a mating thread, a ring and a taper are provided that interact with each other in such a way that when the thread is screwed onto the mating thread the ring tensions the taper radially in the direction of the connecting element of the injection valve and thus fixes the connecting valve.
- the object of the invention is to create a connecting device that is designed to compensate manufacturing tolerances of the connecting device or connector for which it is designed to connect to.
- the invention is distinguished by a connecting device that is suitable for connecting to a connector, comprising a connecting element having a tubular recess and having a first connecting part, further comprising a thread part being designed for forming a threading connection with a mating thread formed in a connector and in an intermediate connecting element having a tubular recess and having on one of its free ends a second connecting part and having on the other one of its free ends a third connecting part.
- the first and second connecting parts are designed for forming a joint with either the first or the second connecting part having a tapered recess and the other one of the first or second connecting part being spherically shaped.
- the third connecting part is designed for forming a joint with a fourth connecting part of the connector with either the third or the fourth connecting part having a tapered recess and the other one of the third or fourth connecting part being spherically shaped.
- spherically shaped includes for the purpose of this invention all shapes that are suited for forming a line-like sealing connection with the tapered recess. It therefore includes a geometrical sphere but also, for example, a mushroom head or an ellipse.
- connecting device By providing the connecting device with the intermediate connecting element manufacturing tolerances within the connecting device, especially in the connecting element or also within the connector, can simply be compensated for, that means a slight misalignment of the connecting element in respect to the connector can simply be compensated for. This means that the connecting device and/or the connector may be manufactured with higher manufacturing tolerances without a loss of quality.
- the intermediate connecting element comprises a material, the hardness of which is less than the hardness of the material of the connecting element. This ensures a good sealing connection between the connecting element and the intermediate connecting element.
- the invention is further distinguished by a connecting arrangement with the connecting device and the connector.
- the connecting arrangement has the intermediate connecting element comprising a material, the hardness of which is less than the hardness of a material of the connecting element.
- a fuel feed device is assigned to an internal combustion engine ( Figure 1).
- the fuel feed device is designed for use in internal combustion engines with direct metering of the fuel to the cylinders of the internal combustion engine at high pressure, for example 200 bar. It includes a fuel tank 20, that is connected via a first fuel line to a low-pressure pump 21. At the output end, the low-pressure pump 21 is connected to an inlet 23, of a high-pressure pump 24. Furthermore, at the outlet of the low-pressure pump 21, a mechanical regulator 22 is provided, the output of which is actively connected via a further fuel line to the fuel tank 20.
- the inlet 23 is connected to the high-pressure pump 24 that at its output end pumps fuel to the fuel accumulator 25.
- the high-pressure pump 24 is usually driven by the crankshaft or camshaft of the internal combustion engine and thus at a constant speed of the crankshaft delivers a constant fuel volume to the fuel accumulator 25.
- Injection valves 29 are actively connected to the fuel accumulator 25. The fuel is thus fed to the injection valves 29 via the fuel accumulator 25.
- the injection valves 29 have a sealed connection to the fuel accumulator 25.
- Figure 2 shows a connecting arrangement with a connecting device 1 and a connector 14.
- the connecting device 1 may, for example, be part of the injection valve 29.
- the connector 14 may, for example, be part of the fuel accumulator 25.
- the connecting device 1 has a connecting element 2 with a tubular recess 3.
- the tubular recess 3 is a high-pressure fuel feed line.
- the connecting element 2 has a first connecting part 4.
- the connecting device 1 further comprises a thread part 5 with a thread 6.
- the thread part 5 is preferably joined to the connecting element 2, for example by welding. However, in an alternative embodiment it may be simply pushed onto the connecting element 2 and rest on a protuberance of the connecting element 2 when the connecting device is threaded onto a mating thread 16 of the connector 14.
- the connecting device 1 further comprises an intermediate connecting element 8 with also a tubular recess 9, which is basically aligned with the tubular recess 3, when the connecting device is threaded onto the mating thread 16 of the connector 14.
- the intermediate connecting element 8 further comprises on one of its free ends a second connecting part 10 and on the other one of its free ends a third connecting part 12.
- the first and second connecting parts 4, 10 are designed for forming a joint with either the first or the second connecting part 4, 10 having a tapered recess and the other one of the first or second connecting parts 4, 10 being spherically shaped.
- the connector 14 comprises a tubular recess 15 which is basically aligned with the tubular recess 3 of the connecting element 2 and the tubular recess 9 of the intermediate connecting element 8, when the connecting device 1 is screwed onto the mating thread 16 of the connector 14.
- the connector 14 further comprises a fourth connecting part 18.
- the third and fourth connecting parts are designed for forming a joint with either the third or fourth connecting part 12, 18 having a tapered recess and the other one of the third or fourth connecting part 12, 18 being spherically shaped.
- the intermediate connecting element 8 can compensate misalignments of the connecting element 2 and the connector 14. In addition to that its material may be chosen advantageously to having a hardness, which is less than the hardness of the material of the connecting element 2.
