- the coupling body 18 may be coupled with the injector receiving device 20 by not shown screws or bolts being arranged in the through holes 38.
- the fluid is received by the fluid inlet portion 34 of the coupling body 18 and flows on to the cavity 22.
- the cavity 22 with its enlarged volume compared to the fluid inlet portion 34 serves as a fluid storage element thereby receiving fluid and keep it until it is needed by the injector 16.
- Pressure peaks of the fluid in the fluid supply 14 can be reduced as long as the cavity 22 is not completely filled with fluid. Therefore, the volume of the cavity 22 is preferably 10 to 20 cm 3 at a flow rate of 5 to 30 g/s and a pressurization time of 0,5 to 3 s which is necessary to obtain a sufficient fluid pressure in the cavity 22. With this volume of the cavity 22 it is possible that pressure peaks in the fluid inlet portion 34 in particular in a range of +/- 5 bar may be buffered by the cavity 22 and thus, the mechanical load of the injector 16 may be kept small.
- a further advantage of this embodiment of the coupling arrangement 10 is that a cavity spacer which is usually arranged between the conical section of the injector main body 17 and the conical section of the seat 32 to compensate tolerances due to high mechanical loads is no longer necessary as the securing means 28 in combination with the peak reducing function of the cavity 22 is reducing the mechanical load in the contact area between the conical section of the injector main body 17 and the conical section of the seat 32.
Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a coupling body for a coupling arrangement. Furthermore, the invention relates to the coupling arrangement with an injector.
-
EP 0 969 203 A1 discloses a coupling system between an engine head, an injector and a fuel manifold. The engine head has a seating designed to house the injector. The fuel manifold extends above the engine head and is connected to the injector through a bush projecting from the fuel manifold. The injector is coupled to a seat by means of a ball coupling. The fuel manifold is rigidly secured to the engine head of the engine. - The object of the invention is to create a coupling body for a coupling arrangement and a coupling arrangement with the injector which enable an easy assembling of the coupling arrangement and which facilitate a reliable and precise function of the coupling arrangement.
- These objects are achieved by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the sub-claims.
- The invention is distinguished by a coupling body for a coupling arrangement enabling a coupling of a fluid supply with an injector, comprising a fluid inlet portion being hydraulically coupable with the fluid supply, a fluid outlet portion being hydraulically coupable with the injector, and a cavity being arranged hydraulically between the fluid inlet portion and the fluid outlet portion and being formed to be enabled to receive a quantity of fluid to balance variations of the fluid pressure in the fluid inlet portion.
- The dynamic of the fluid pressure at the entrance of the injector can be strongly influenced by adequate means upstream the injector. The means to achieve this is the cavity in the coupling body wherein the pressure fluctuations of the fluid supply may be dampened. Preferably, the cross-section of the cavity is increased compared to the cross-section of the fluid inlet portion thereby supplying a volume for a reduction of the fluid pressure dynamics. An advantage of the invention is that for each coupling body an individual pressure equalisation at the fluid outlet portion and consequently at the injector is possible.
- Preferably, the coupling body has a first coupling body section and a second coupling body section, the first coupling body section comprising the fluid inlet portion and the cavity, and the first coupling body section being reversibly separable from the second coupling body section. The advantage of this is that a simple exchange of the first coupling body section is possible. Consequently, this exchange makes it possible to vary the volume of the cavity. Therefore, the size of the cavity may be adapted easily according to the necessary pressure equalisation at the fluid outlet portion.
- According to a second aspect, the invention is distinguished by a coupling arrangement comprising an injector receiving device, the coupling body comprising a recess, and a securing means being arranged in the recess and being coupled with the injector to maintain the injector in a seat of the injector receiving device. This makes it possible that mechanical loads on the injector are reduced.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the securing means is an elastic spring element. This has the advantage that a simple spring element as securing means can result in small mechanical loads on the injector.
- Preferably, the coupling body is rigidly coupled to the injector receiving device. This has the advantage that mechanical forces of the fluid supply may be absorbed by the injector receiving device. Consequently, the forces on the injector may be reduced.
- Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in the following with the aid of schematic drawings. These are as follows:
- Figure 1, a fuel injection device in a schematic view, and
- Figure 2, a coupling arrangement in a longitudinal section view.
- Elements of the same design and function that appear in different illustrations are identified by the same reference character.
- A fuel injection device 11 (figure 1), that is in particular suitable for dosing fuel to an internal combustion engine, comprises a
fuel tank 12 that communicates via acommon pipe 13 with afluid supply 14. Thefluid supply 14 comprisesseveral branches 15, each suitable for fluid transport. Eachbranch 15 of thefluid supply 14 is coupled with oneinjector 16 by acoupling body 18. - The
injectors 16 are arranged in aninjector receiving device 20 which may be an engine head of a combustion engine. - In figure 2, a detailed view of the
coupling arrangement 10 with thecoupling body 18, thefluid supply 14, and theinjector 16 is given. - The
coupling body 18 comprises a firstcoupling body section 18a and a secondcoupling body section 18b. The firstcoupling body section 18a comprises afluid inlet portion 34 and acavity 22. Furthermore, the firstcoupling body section 18a is rigidly coupled to the secondcoupling body section 18b. The coupling between the firstcoupling body section 18a and the secondcoupling body section 18b is realised by athread 19 which allows a reversible separation of the firstcoupling body section 18a from the sectioncoupling body section 18b. Consequently, an exchange of the firstcoupling body section 18a may be put into effect in a very simple manner. Therefore, the size of thecavity 22 can be adapted very easily by the exchange of the firstcoupling body section 18a. - The second
coupling body section 18b comprises afluid outlet portion 36 in which theinjector 16 is arranged partially. Asealing device 24 is separating thefluid outlet portion 36 from arecess 26 of the secondcoupling body section 18b. Therecess 26 receives asecuring means 28 and further parts of theinjector 16 as an injector main body 17. - In the example illustrated here, such securing means 28 consists of an elastic spring element, in particular a coil spring. The elastic spring element is located between the
injector 16 and thecoupling body 18 in such a manner as to press theinjector 16 into aseat 32 arranged in theinjector receiving device 20. In figure 2 it is shown that the elastic spring element is housed inside the secondcoupling body section 18b in such a manner as to have afirst end 28a bearing against anend portion 17a of the injector main body 17 and asecond end 28b bearing against abottom 30 of therecess 26. - The second
coupling body section 18b has throughholes 38 by which thecoupling body 18 can be rigidly coupled to theinjector receiving device 20. Thereby, mechanical forces caused by thefluid supply 14 and received by thecoupling body 18 may be absorbed by theinjector receiving device 20 thereby reducing the mechanical load on theinjector 16. Thecoupling body 18 may be coupled with the injector receivingdevice 20 by not shown screws or bolts being arranged in the throughholes 38. - In the following, the function of the
coupling arrangement 10 will be described in detail: - Fluid is transported by not shown pumps from the
fuel tank 12 to thepipe 13 and further to thefluid supply 14 where it is divided into thebranches 15 and led to thecoupling arrangements 10. - In the following, the function of only one of the
coupling arrangements 10 is described. The fluid is received by thefluid inlet portion 34 of thecoupling body 18 and flows on to thecavity 22. Thecavity 22 with its enlarged volume compared to thefluid inlet portion 34 serves as a fluid storage element thereby receiving fluid and keep it until it is needed by theinjector 16. Pressure peaks of the fluid in thefluid supply 14 can be reduced as long as thecavity 22 is not completely filled with fluid. Therefore, the volume of thecavity 22 is preferably 10 to 20 cm3 at a flow rate of 5 to 30 g/s and a pressurization time of 0,5 to 3 s which is necessary to obtain a sufficient fluid pressure in thecavity 22. With this volume of thecavity 22 it is possible that pressure peaks in thefluid inlet portion 34 in particular in a range of +/- 5 bar may be buffered by thecavity 22 and thus, the mechanical load of theinjector 16 may be kept small. - A further advantage of this embodiment of the
coupling arrangement 10 is that a cavity spacer which is usually arranged between the conical section of the injector main body 17 and the conical section of theseat 32 to compensate tolerances due to high mechanical loads is no longer necessary as the securing means 28 in combination with the peak reducing function of thecavity 22 is reducing the mechanical load in the contact area between the conical section of the injector main body 17 and the conical section of theseat 32.
