Definitions

• the present invention relates to a protective housing for an internal combustion engine injection system intended for motor vehicles.
• Injection systems for motor vehicles are generally mounted at the top of the engine, which has cylinders closed by a cylinder head. Each cylinder comprises a piston, the upper surface of which forms a combustion chamber with the cylinder head.
• the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber by means of injectors.
• the injection systems include an injection rail mounted on the cylinder head of the engine and situated between an injection pump and the injectors.
• the injection manifold is supplied with fuel under high pressure by the pump and is connected to the injectors by pipes. It thus constitutes a reserve of fuel under pressure and the injectors, at a frequency determined as a function of the engine rotation speed, inject the fuel into the combustion chambers.
• the present invention provides a protective housing for an injection system of an internal combustion engine, said injection system comprising an injection manifold which is supplied by a pump and which is connected by pipes. to injectors mounted in a cylinder head of said engine, said housing comprising a wall whose free lower edges are intended to sealingly join said cylinder head, and said wall being adapted to extend between said injection rail and said cylinder head by covering said pipes and said injectors.
• a characteristic of the invention resides in the shape of the housing which here no longer includes the injection rail as included in the devices of the prior art, but whose wall extends between the injection rail and the breech.
• this injection ramp which adjoins the cylinder head occupies a more restricted space since it is no longer covered, and the housing simply covers the pipes and the injectors. Thanks to this more compact assembly, possible leaks on the injection systems on the front of the engines are likely to be confined, which avoids your dispersion of the fuel in the engine trunk.
• the housing comprises a lower part adapted to form a recuperator and an upper part forming a cover.
• said lower part defines a first wall portion of said wall of said housing and has said free lower edges, and it extends between said injection rail and said cylinder head.
• said lower part has passage holes for said conduits and the edge of said passage holes and said ramp are tightly joined by a ramp seal.
• said cover is removably mounted on said cylinder head and it joins said recuperator in a sealed manner.
• said cover and said recuperator are adapted to be connected together by snap-fastening, which makes it possible to prevent them from coming apart under the effect of vibrations or shocks and this , by means of a simple and reversible connection.
• said free lower edges are equipped with a lip seal, which allows the recuperator to be driven in limited movement relative to the cylinder head to which if is applied with said lip seal, without however causing it to lose contact and therefore to keep any sealing of the recuperator on the cylinder head.
• the housing comprises a discharge pipette opening into a lower part.
• FIG. 1 is a schematic front view of an internal combustion engine on the front and having a housing according to the invention
• - Figure 2 is a schematic view in substantially vertical and longitudinal section of the motor illustrated in Figure 1
• - Figure 3 is a vertical and transverse sectional view along the section Ifi-li shown in Figure 2.
• Figure 1 shows in front view the upper part of an internal combustion engine 10.
• This engine has a injection rail 12 which is mounted on a cylinder head 14 thanks to two fixing points 16, 18.
• it comprises a housing 20 consisting of two parts, a lower part 22 forming a recuperator and an upper part 24 forming a lid.
• the lower part 22 has a wall portion which extends between the cylinder head 14 and the injection manifold 12 and is covered by the cover 24.
• FIG. 3 Reference will be made to FIG. 3 to describe in more detail the housing 20 than the 'We find constituted by its lower part 22 and the cover 24.
• the cylinder head 14 in which extends an injector 26, and the injection manifold 12 which is mounted on the cylinder head 14 through the attachment point 16 which appears here.
• the cylinder head 14 is covered with a cylinder head cover 28 which extends towards the stop of the engine 10.
• the lower part 22 has a free lower edge 30 which extends away from a lower part 31 of the said cylinder head 14.
• a lip seal 32 is mounted on the said lower edge 30 and it seals the cylinder head 14. The lip of the lip seal 32 being elastically deformable, the seal is retained even when the recuperator 22 is driven in displacement, essentially between a close position and a position separated from the cylinder head, obviously within certain limits.
• the bolt 14 has at least one boss 34 adapted to form the point of attachment 16 and which passes through a recess 36 to the recuperator 22.
• the edge of this recess 36 is provided at a recuperator * joint 38 which applies tightly around the boss 34.
• the recuperator 22 has a portion 40 which extends substantially vertically behind the injection ramp 12, between it and the cylinder head 14 then which continues with a support part 42 , substantially perpendicular to said portion 40.
• the support part 42 is applied to the injection rail 12 and is joined to it by fixing clips not shown.
• the support part 42 has a flange 44 adapted to cooperate with the cover 24 as will be described below.
• FIG. 2 corresponding to the section according to the IMI yaw illustrated in Figure 3 and vice versa
• Figure 3 corresponding to the section along the plane lli-lll illustrated in Figure 2.
• connections 48 four in number in FIG. 2.
• the connections are made by means of a nozzle 50 projecting vertically above the rail injection, which end piece has a peripheral thread on which a ring 52 is adapted to be screwed.
• the end of the pipes 46 is provided with a shoulder against which said ring 52 is adapted to take support in order to force said end into the end piece 50 of the injection rail 12.
• the support part 42 has holes for passage of the pipes 46 whose edges 54 are adapted to be applied in the periphery of the nozzles 50 against the injection rail 12 and in a sealed manner thanks to a rail seal 56.
• the rail seal is made in one piece and it extends over the entire length of the part d 'support 42 which it runs along the recuperator 22 and orifices are provided for each. end piece 50.
• a central end piece 57 for supplying, appearing in FIG. 2 is formed projecting from the injection rail 12 and it is intended to receive a supply duct coming from an injection pump not shown, and external to the housing 20.
• the cover 24 has a depressed portion, not shown and pierced, the edge of which is applied in a sealed manner around the central tip 57.
• the central tip 57 is thus connected to the supply line outside said housing 20 with means similar to those of the other lines.
• the cover 24 has a second free edge 58 which is applied, on the side of the front face, fongitudinally against the rim 44 in leaktight manner thanks to a first cover seal 60 and on the side of the rear face, against the cylinder head cover 28, in leaktight manner thanks to a second cover gasket 62.
• said second free edge is provided with a single continuous cover gasket, which is wedged between the cover 24 and the recuperator 22 substantially for half , including two parts of side edges not shown where the rim meet
• the recuperator 22 completely and sealingly isolates the injection ramp 12 from the cylinder head 14 and, on the other hand, the cover 24 completely and also sealingly covers the lines 46 between the flange 44 and cylinder head cover 28.

• a discharge pipette 70 in a lower side part of the recuperator 22 and which opens into the housing 20 more precisely between the wall of the recuperator 22 and the cylinder head wall. Thanks to this discharge pipette 70, the fuel which escapes from the pipes in liquid form or which is vaporized, is capable of being recovered.
• any projection of fuel due to leaks is on the one hand contained inside the housing 20 and on the other hand capable of being channeled away from hot parts of the engine. ⁇
