Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method according to the preamble of claim 9.
- the hydraulic coupler is fully pressurized.
- the object of the invention is to reduce the production costs for a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the object is in a fuel injector with an injector housing having a high-pressure fuel inlet, which communicates with a central high-pressure fuel source outside of the injector and a pressure chamber within the injector in connection, from the high-pressure fuel into a combustion chamber an internal combustion engine is injected when a nozzle needle opens, which is coupled by an hydraulic coupler having at least one high-pressure coupling space with an actuator, achieved in that the coupling space is in communication with a pressure relief space.
- the actuator is preferably a piezoactuator.
- the hydraulic coupler serves to translate the stroke and / or force of the actuator.
- the pressure relief chamber is depressurized or has a pressure which is also referred to as low pressure and is significantly lower than the high pressure.
- the pressure level in the coupling space is preferably lowered selectively close to the opening pressure of the nozzle needle.
- a preferred embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that the coupling space is delimited by a coupler piston which is mechanically coupled to the actuator. On the opposite side of the coupling space is bounded by the combustion chamber distal end of the nozzle needle.
- the coupling space can also be subdivided into a plurality of coupling spaces, which are connected to each other and are also referred to as sub-coupling spaces.
- a further preferred embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that in that the actuator and the coupler piston are arranged in an actuator space, which communicates with the pressure relief space. This provides the advantage that the actuator does not have to be designed high-pressure resistant.
- a further preferred exemplary embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that the coupling space is delimited by a coupling space limiting sleeve, which is guided at the end of the coupler piston close to the combustion chamber.
- the coupling space limiting sleeve is preferably biased by a spring means against a part of the injector housing.
- a further preferred embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that a defined guide clearance is provided between the coupler piston and the coupling space limiting sleeve.
- a defined guide clearance is provided between the coupler piston and the coupling space limiting sleeve.
- the Kopplungsraumbegrenzungshülse or the coupler piston may also be equipped with a pressure relief channel having a throttle and opens into the actuator chamber.
- Another preferred exemplary embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that the coupling space communicates with a further coupling space, which is delimited by the combustion chamber distal end of the nozzle needle.
- the further coupling space is preferably of one Limited nozzle needle sleeve, which is guided at the combustion chamber remote end of the nozzle needle.
- a further preferred embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that the connection between the coupling spaces is equipped with a throttle. About the throttle, the opening movement of the nozzle needle can be influenced.
- a further preferred exemplary embodiment of the fuel injector is characterized in that a high-pressure passage is recessed in the injector housing, through which fuel supplied with high pressure passes into the pressure space.
- the high-pressure channel is, for example, a bore that runs parallel to the actuator chamber.
- the above-described object is achieved in that the pressure level in the coupling space is deliberately lowered before the actuator unfolds its effect.
- the injection process comprises a first phase in which the pressure in the coupling space is lowered and a second phase in which the nozzle needle opens.
- conventional injectors require about 20 to 30 percent of the actuator stroke.
- the nozzle needle opens.
- a preferred embodiment of the method is characterized in that the pressure level in the coupling space is lowered to near the opening pressure of the nozzle needle.
- FIG. 1 shows a detail of a fuel injector with an injector housing 1 and a longitudinal section.
- the injector housing 1 comprises a nozzle body 2, which protrudes with its lower (cut off) free end into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine to be supplied with fuel. With its upper end face remote from the combustion chamber, the nozzle body 2 is braced axially against the intermediate body 3 and an injector body 4 by means of a clamping nut (not shown), which is also referred to as a holding body.
- the holding body 4 has substantially the shape of a circular cylindrical jacket-shaped sleeve, whose one end face is closed by the intermediate body 3.
- a nozzle needle 8 is guided axially displaceable.
- the tip (not shown) of the nozzle needle cooperates with a sealing seat to release and close spray holes as a function of the position of the nozzle needle 8.
- the nozzle needle is preferably equipped with a pressure shoulder, which is arranged in a pressure chamber 10 of the injector.
- the pressure chamber 10 is connected via a (not shown) high-pressure connection channel with an actuator chamber 12 in connection, which in turn is connected via an inlet channel or a supply line with a high-pressure fuel source in communication, which is also referred to as common rail.
- the fuel injector is actuated by a piezoactuator 14, which is mechanically coupled to a coupler piston 16 with the interposition of a compensating element 15.
- the combustion chamber near end face of the coupler piston 16 defines a partial coupling chamber 18 in the axial direction.
- the partial coupling space 18 is connected via a connecting channel 22, which is equipped with a throttle 23, with a further partial coupling space 24 in connection.
- the further partial coupling space 24 is limited in the axial direction by the combustion chamber remote end of the nozzle needle 8.
- the further partial coupling space 24 is delimited by a nozzle needle sleeve 25.
- the two partial coupling spaces 18 and 24 together form a coupling space 28 of a hydraulic coupler.
- the piezoelectric actuator 14 In the idle state of the fuel injector prevails in the coupling space 28 high pressure, which is also referred to as rail pressure.
- the high pressure acts on the combustion chamber remote end face of the nozzle needle 8.
- the piezoelectric actuator 14 is charged in the idle state of the fuel injector and has its maximum longitudinal extent. To actuate the fuel injector, the piezoactuator 14 is discharged and retracts.
- the pressure in the sub-coupling spaces 18 and 24 drops and the nozzle needle 8 opens, that is, lifts off from its nozzle needle seat.
- a needle stop is provided for stroke limitation.
- the actuator stroke U, the coupling chamber pressure p K and the needle stroke N of the fuel injector shown in FIG. 1 are plotted over time t.
- the injection process of the fuel injector is divided into a first phase, in which the pressure in the coupling space 28 is lowered, and in a second phase, in which the nozzle needle 8 opens.
- a first phase in which the pressure in the coupling space 28 is lowered
- a second phase in which the nozzle needle 8 opens.
- the hydraulic coupler is completely surrounded by high pressure. This results in that the pressure in the coupling space 28 must be actively lowered by the Aktorhub so that the nozzle needle 8 opens.
- FIG. 3 shows a detail of a similar fuel injector as in FIG. 1, in longitudinal section. To denote the same parts, the same reference numerals are used. To avoid repetition, reference is made to the preceding description of FIG. In the following, mainly the differences between the two fuel injectors will be discussed.
- the pressure chamber 10 is connected via a high pressure passage 41 which extends through the injector body 4 and the intermediate body 3, with the (not shown) high-pressure fuel port of the fuel injector in connection.
- the actuator chamber 12 is at The embodiment shown in Figure 3 is not applied with high pressure, but connected via a (not shown) pressure relief channel with a pressure relief chamber.
- the actuator chamber 12 is connected, for example, to a pressureless leakage oil circuit.
- An arrow 44 indicates that the partial coupling chamber 18 is in flow communication with the actuator chamber 12 so that fuel can escape from the partial coupling chamber 18 via the actuator chamber 12 into the pressure relief chamber.
- the pressure in the coupling space 28 is permanently lowered.
- the pressure level in the coupling space 28 is lowered to close to the opening pressure of the nozzle needle.
- the setting of this lowered pressure is preferably carried out by a defined guide clearance between the Kopplungraumbegrenzungshülse 20 and the coupler piston 16. Additionally or alternatively, however, throttled in the coupler piston 16 and / or the Kopplungsraumbegrenzungshülse 20 connecting channels are provided which connect the partial coupling chamber 18 with the actuator chamber 12 ,
- FIG. 4 the actuator stroke U, the coupling chamber pressure p K and the needle stroke N of the fuel injector shown in FIG. 3 are plotted over time t.
- a dashed line 50 indicates the outlet pressure in the coupling space of a conventional fuel injector.
- ⁇ p is indicated in Figure 4 that the output pressure in the coupling space 28 of the illustrated in Figure 3
- Fuel injector is significantly lower than a conventional injector.
- the required actuator length can be reduced by 20 to 30 percent.
- the reduced actuator length has a positive effect on the overall length of the injector.
- a control unit used to control the fuel injector can also be made more cost-effective due to the shortened actuator length, since cheaper power amplifier elements can be used.
