Definitions
- the invention relates to a storage fuel injection system with a closed fuel reservoir and a pressure control valve according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a storage fuel injection system with a fuel storage and a pressure regulating valve is characterized by the US-B1-6,349,703 known.
- the pressure control valve which serves to regulate the pressure in a closed fuel reservoir, has a valve body in which a piston-shaped valve member is disposed axially displaceably in a bore.
- the valve member forms an armature of an electromagnet which can be energized and by the magnetic force of the valve member is pressed against a valve seat. Rectified to this magnetic force, the valve member is also acted upon by a compression spring.
- this pressure spring secures the seal between valve member and valve seat, so that in the storage fuel injection system, a fuel filling is maintained and a restart of this storage fuel injection system having engine is made possible.
- the object of the invention is to simplify the storage fuel injection system without functional disadvantages.
- a longitudinal section through a pressure control valve 1 is shown.
- the storage fuel injection system which is also referred to as common-rail injection system, has a high-pressure pump 2 through which fuel is conveyed under high pressure from a fuel storage tank 3 into a fuel storage 4.
- the fuel storage 4 is for example tubular, designed as a so-called rail. From the fuel reservoir 4 lead lines 5 to the injection points of an internal combustion engine 6, in each of which a valve 7 is arranged.
- the pressure regulating valve 1 is provided, which can be arranged at the outlet of the high-pressure pump 2 or the fuel reservoir 4.
- the pressure control valve 1 itself has a valve 8, in which a bore 9 is formed, in which a piston-shaped valve member 10 is arranged axially displaceable.
- a mounting flange 11 is formed, via which the valve body is attached to the high pressure pump 2 or the fuel reservoir 4.
- a further space is provided within the valve body 8, in which an electromagnet 12 is arranged with a coil winding.
- a connection element 13 is provided, which covers the space of the valve body.
- valve member 10 If the solenoid 12 is not energized, the valve member 10 is due to its own weight on the valve seat 16 and the valve seat 16 is acted upon by the pressure in the fuel reservoir 4. Due to the dead weight of the valve member 10 creates a force that is greater than that generated by the fuel tank 4, so that the valve is closed.
- fuel flows through the valve seat 16, for example, into a relief space, here a fuel storage tank 3.
- the electromagnet 12 When the pressure in the fuel accumulator 4 is to be increased, the electromagnet 12 is energized, so that the valve seat 16 remains closed even at elevated pressure.

Description
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem mit einem geschlossenen Kraftstoffspeicher und einem Druckregelventil nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1. Ein Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem mit einem Kraftstoffspeicher und einem Druckregelventil ist durch die
Im stromlosen Zustand des Elektromagneten sichert diese Druckfeder die Dichtung zwischen Ventilglied und Ventilsitz, so dass in dem Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem eine Kraftstofffüllung erhalten bleibt und ein Wiederstart einer dieses Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem aufweisenden Brennkraftmaschine ermöglicht wird.In the de-energized state of the electromagnet, this pressure spring secures the seal between valve member and valve seat, so that in the storage fuel injection system, a fuel filling is maintained and a restart of this storage fuel injection system having engine is made possible.
Ein solchermaßen ausgestaltetes Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem ist in seiner Ausgestaltung aufwendig.An accumulator fuel injection system designed in this way is expensive in its design.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, das Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem ohne Funktionsnachteile zu vereinfachen.The object of the invention is to simplify the storage fuel injection system without functional disadvantages.
Diese Aufgabe wird, ausgehend von einem Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem entsprechend den gattungsgemäßen Merkmalen des Anspruchs durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs gelöst. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem konnte bei dessen Druckregelventil auf die Bereitstellung einer Druckfeder verzichtet werden. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass das Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem ohne Funktionsverlust kostengünstiger hergestellt werden kann. Insbesondere ist auch hier ein Wiederstart der Brennkraftmaschine aus dem stromlosen Zustand, was dem Stillstand der Brennkraftmaschine entspricht, ermöglicht.This object is achieved on the basis of a storage fuel injection system according to the generic features of the claim by the characterizing features of the claim. In this embodiment of the storage fuel injection system could be dispensed with the provision of a compression spring in the pressure control valve. This results in the advantage that the storage fuel injection system can be produced more cost-effectively without loss of function. In particular, here is a restart of the engine from the de-energized state, which corresponds to the stoppage of the internal combustion engine allows.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Längsschnitt durch ein Druckregelventil 1 dargestellt. Zusätzlich ist ein Speicherkraftstoffspeichersystem für Brennkraftmaschinen, insbesondere selbstzündende Brennkraftmaschinen gezeigt. Das Speicherkraftstoffeinspritzsystem, das auch Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem bezeichnet wird, weist eine Hochdruckpumpe 2 auf, durch die Kraftstoff unter Hochdruck aus einem Kraftstoffvorratstank 3 in einen Kraftstoffspeicher 4 gefördert wird. Der Kraftstoffspeicher 4 ist beispielsweise rohrförmig, als sogenanntes Rail ausgebildet. Vom Kraftstoffspeicher 4 führen Leitungen 5 zu den Einspritzstellen einer Brennkraftmaschine 6, in den jeweils ein Ventil 7 angeordnet ist. Zur Einstellung des Drucks im Kraftstoffspeicher 4 ist das Druckregelventil 1 vorgesehen, das am Auslass der Hochdruckpumpe 2 oder am Kraftstoffspeicher 4 angeordnet sein kann.In Fig. 1 a longitudinal section through a
Das Druckregelventil 1 selbst weist ein Ventil 8 auf, in dem eine Bohrung 9 ausgebildet ist, in der ein kolbenförmiges Ventilglied 10 axial verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Am Ventilkörper 8 ist ein Befestigungsflansch 11 ausgebildet, über den der Ventilkörper an der Hochdruckpumpe 2 oder am Kraftstoffspeicher 4 befestigt ist. Zusätzlich ist ein weiterer Raum innerhalb des Ventilkörpers 8 vorgesehen, in dem ein Elektromagnet 12 mit einer Spulenwicklung angeordnet ist. Auf dem Ventilkörper 8 ist ein Anschlusselement 13 vorgesehen, das den Raum des Ventilkörpers überdeckt.The
Wenn der Elektromagnet 12 nicht bestromt ist, so liegt das Ventilglied 10 aufgrund seines Eigengewichtes auf dem Ventilsitz 16 auf und der Ventilsitz 16 ist von dem Druck in dem Kraftstoffspeicher 4 beaufschlagt. Aufgrund des Eigengewichtes des Ventilglieds 10 entsteht eine Kraft, die grösser ist, als die durch den Kraftstoffspeicher 4 erzeugt, so dass das Ventil geschlossen ist. Bei geöffnetem Druckregelventil 1 strömt aus dem Kraftstoffspeicher 4 Kraftstoff durch den Ventilsitz 16 beispielsweise in einen Entlastungsraum, hier ein Kraftstoffvorratstank 3.If the
Wenn der Druck im Kraftstoffspeicher 4 erhöht werden soll, so wird der Elektromagnet 12 bestromt, so dass der Ventilsitz 16 auch bei erhöhtem Druck geschlossen bleibt.When the pressure in the
