Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a fuel injection device is characterized by the EP 1 162 364 A known.
- This fuel injection device has a high-pressure accumulator in which fuel is stored under high pressure. From the high-pressure accumulator, at least one high-pressure fuel line leads off to at least one injector, through which fuel is injected at the internal combustion engine. In the flow path of the fuel from the high-pressure accumulator into the at least one high-pressure fuel line, a flow area narrowed in cross-section is provided, followed by a flow area extending in cross-section to the high-pressure fuel line. The expanding flow area is conical.
- This design ensures that pressure waves are attenuated from the high-pressure fuel line from the injector into the high-pressure accumulator, while the fuel flow from the high-pressure accumulator is only slightly influenced in the high-pressure fuel line to the injector.
- the restricted flow area and the expanding flow area are in this known fuel injector at one between the high-pressure accumulator and the high-pressure fuel line formed component formed.
- the fuel injector requires a large space and a large manufacturing and assembly costs.
- the high-pressure fuel line according to the invention has the advantage that the flow cross-sectional constriction is formed in this itself, so that no additional component is required.
- the fuel injection device according to claim 5 has the advantage that it requires a small space and is inexpensive to produce.
- FIG. 1 shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine in a schematic representation and Figure 2 shows a high-pressure fuel line of the fuel injection device in an enlarged view in a longitudinal section along line II-II in Figure 1.
- FIG. 1 shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
- the internal combustion engine is preferably a self-igniting internal combustion engine and has at least one or more cylinders 6, of which only one is shown in FIG.
- the fuel injection device has a feed pump 10, is conveyed by the fuel from a reservoir 12 to a high-pressure pump 14.
- fuel is conveyed via at least one hydraulic line 15 under high pressure in a high-pressure accumulator 16.
- injectors 20 are arranged via high-pressure fuel lines 18 to the cylinders 6 of the internal combustion engine.
- a control valve 22 is arranged, by means of which the injector 20 can be opened to a fuel injection or can be closed to complete a fuel injection.
- the control valves 22 of the injectors 20 are connected to an electronic control device 24 and are driven by them depending on operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.
- the control valves 22 may each have an electromagnetic or a piezoelectric actuator.
- the high pressure accumulator 16 is for example tubular and the high-pressure fuel lines 18 to the injectors 20 lead from the periphery of the high pressure accumulator 16.
- the high-pressure accumulator 16 is tuned in its volume to the requirements of the fuel injection device.
- the high-pressure fuel lines 18 are designed in a known manner, for example, as metal pipes made of steel, in particular high-strength steel, with sufficient strength and are for example by means of Screw connections connected to the high-pressure accumulator 16.
- the high-pressure fuel lines 18 have at their ends connected to the high-pressure accumulator 16 in the outer cross-section compared to the remaining area of the high-pressure fuel line 18 enlarged connection piece 30, which tapers approximately conically towards the high-pressure accumulator 16 and into a correspondingly shaped receptacle 32 with conical contact surface on the high pressure accumulator 16th is inserted.

- the high-pressure fuel line 18 has a constant inner cross-section over most of its length, which is preferably circular and has a diameter d1.
- this has a reduced inner cross-section, which is preferably also circular and has a diameter d2. Due to the reduced diameter d2, a flow cross-sectional constriction 36 is formed in the high-pressure fuel line 18.
- the transition from the diameter d1 to the diameter d2 in the high-pressure fuel line 18 preferably runs at least approximately conically, so that in a transition region 38, the inner diameter of the high-pressure fuel line 18 gradually decreases from d1 to d2.
- the transition region 38 has one for the respective fuel injector fixed length 1 on.
- the diameter d2 is also set in relation to the diameter d1 suitable for the respective fuel injection device.
- the cone angle of the transition region 38 is also suitably chosen.
- the diameter of the opening 34 in the high-pressure accumulator 16 is greater than or equal to the diameter d2 of the flow cross-sectional constriction 36.
- the flow cross-sectional constriction 36, the flow of fuel from the high-pressure accumulator 16 to Injector 20 is only slightly affected, while the propagation of pressure waves from the injector 20 through the high-pressure fuel line 18 into the high-pressure accumulator 16 is substantially prevented.
- the flow cross-sectional constriction 36 and the transition region 38 in the high-pressure fuel line 18 can be produced, for example, by means of a drawing, stretching or compression deformation method of the high-pressure fuel line.
- the high pressure accumulator 16 of the fuel injection device can also be omitted, in which case each injector 20 is connected directly to the high pressure pump 14 upper with a manifold of the high pressure pump.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 eine Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung für eine Brennkraftmaschine in schematischer Darstellung und Figur 2 eine Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung der Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung in vergrößerter Darstellung in einem Längsschnitt entlang Linie II-II in Figur 1.An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. 1 shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine in a schematic representation and Figure 2 shows a high-pressure fuel line of the fuel injection device in an enlarged view in a longitudinal section along line II-II in Figure 1.
In Figur 1 ist eine Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung für eine Brennkraftmaschine eines Kraftfahrzeugs dargestellt. Die Brennkraftmaschine ist vorzugsweise eine selbstzündende Brennkraftmaschine und weist wenigstens einen oder mehrere Zylinder 6 auf, von denen in Figur 1 nur einer dargestellt ist. Die Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung weist eine Förderpumpe 10 auf, durch die Kraftstoff aus einem Vorratsbehälter 12 zu einer Hochdruckpumpe 14 gefördert wird. Durch die Hochdruckpumpe 14 wird Kraftstoff über wenigstens eine hydraulische Leitung 15 unter Hochdruck in einen Hochdruckspeicher 16 gefördert. Mit dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 sind über Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 an den Zylindern 6 der Brennkraftmaschine angeordnete Injektoren 20 verbunden. An jedem Injektor 20 ist jeweils ein Steuerventil 22 angeordnet, mittels dem der Injektor 20 zu einer Kraftstoffeinspritzung geöffnet werden kann bzw. zur Beendigung einer Kraftstoffeinspritzung geschlossen werden kann. Die Steuerventile 22 der Injektoren 20 sind mit einer elektronischen Steuereinrichtung 24 verbunden und werden durch diese abhängig von Betriebsparametern der Brennkraftmaschine angesteuert. Die Steuerventile 22 können jeweils einen elektromagnetischen oder einen piezoelektrischen Aktor aufweisen.FIG. 1 shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The internal combustion engine is preferably a self-igniting internal combustion engine and has at least one or more cylinders 6, of which only one is shown in FIG. The fuel injection device has a
Der Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist beispielsweise rohrförmig ausgebildet und die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 zu den Injektoren 20 führen vom Umfang des Hochdruckspeichers 16 ab. Der Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist in seinem Volumen auf die Erfordernisse der Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung abgestimmt. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 sind in bekannter Weise beispielsweise als Metallrohre aus Stahl, insbesondere höherfestem Stahl, mit ausreichender Festigkeit ausgeführt und sind beispielsweise mittels Schraubverbindungen am Hochdruckspeicher 16 angeschlossen. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 weisen an ihren am Hochdruckspeicher 16 angeschlossenen Enden einen im Außenquerschnitt gegenüber dem übrigen Bereich der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 vergrößerten Anschlussstutzen 30 auf, der sich beispielsweise zum Hochdruckspeicher 16 hin etwa konisch verjüngt und der in eine entsprechend geformte Aufnahme 32 mit konischer Anlagefläche am Hochdruckspeicher 16 eingefügt ist. Durch eine Überwurfmutter 33 wird der Anschlussstutzen 30 in der Aufnahme 32 verspannt und die Abdichtung am Übergang zwischen dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 und der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 sichergestellt.The
In der Wandung des Hochdruckspeichers 16 ist für jede Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 eine innerhalb der Aufnahme 32 angeordnete Öffnung 34 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise eine Bohrung ist, und durch die Kraftstoff aus dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 in die jeweilige Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 durchströmen kann. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 weist über den größten Teil ihrer Länge einen konstanten Innenquerschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise kreisförmig ist und einen Durchmesser d1 aufweist. In dem dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zugewandten Endbereich der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 weist diese einen verringerten Innenquerschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise ebenfalls kreisförmig ist und einen Durchmesser d2 aufweist. Durch den verringerten Durchmesser d2 ist in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 eine Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 gebildet. Der Übergang vom Durchmesser d1 zum Durchmesser d2 in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 verläuft vorzugsweise zumindest annähernd konisch, so dass sich in einem Übergangsbereich 38 der Innendurchmesser der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 von d1 zu d2 allmählich verringert. Der Übergangsbereich 38 weist eine für die jeweilige Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung festgelegte Länge 1 auf. Der Durchmesser d2 ist im Verhältnis zum Durchmesser d1 ebenfalls für die jeweilige Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung geeignet festgelegt. Der Kegelwinkel des Übergangsbereichs 38 ist ebenfalls geeignet gewählt.In the wall of the high-
Die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 reicht vorzugsweise bis zu dem dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zugewandten Ende der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18. Der Durchmesser der Öffnung 34 im Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist größer oder gleich dem Durchmesser d2 der Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36. Durch die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 wird der Durchfluss von Kraftstoff aus dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zum Injektor 20 nur wenig beeinflusst, während die Ausbreitung von Druckwellen vom Injektor 20 durch die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 in den Hochdruckspeicher 16 im wesentlichen verhindert wird. Die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 sowie der Übergangsbereich 38 in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 kann beispielsweise mittels eines Zieh-, Streck- oder Stauchverformungsverfahrens der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung hergestellt werden.The diameter of the
Der Hochdruckspeicher 16 der Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung kann auch entfallen, wobei dann jeder Injektor 20 direkt mit der Hochdruckpumpe 14 ober mit einem Verteilerstück der Hochdruckpumpe verbunden ist.The
