Ferner umfasst die Brennstoff-Einspritzanlage 1 ein erstes Dichtelement, ein zweites Dichtelement 8, ein Ausgleichselement 9 und einen Abstützring 10. Das erste Dichtelement 7 dichtet dabei zwischen dem Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 und dem Zylinderkopf 5 an einem zum Brennraum 2 gerichteten Ende des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 3 ab. Das zweite Dichtelement 8 dichtet zwischen dem Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 und der Brennstoff-Verteilerleitung 4 an einem zur Brennstoff-Verteilerleitung 4 gerichteten Ende des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 3 ab. Der Abstützring 10 stützt das Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 in Axialrichtung X-X des Brennstoff-Ventils an einer Stufe 6a der Aufnahmebohrung 6 ab. Dabei ist zwischen dem Abstützring 10 und der Aufnahmebohrung 6 ein Spiel S2 vorhanden. Das Ausgleichselement 9 ist am Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 in einem Bereich zwischen dem ersten Dichtelement 7 und dem zweiten Dichtelement 8, genauer an einem Bereich zwischen dem Abstützring 10 und dem zweiten Dichtelement 8 angeordnet.Furthermore, the
Das Ausgleichselement 9 ist im Detail aus
Wenn aufgrund von herstellungsbedingten Toleranzen oder aufgrund von Montagetoleranzen der verschiedenen einzelnen Bauteile der Brennstoff-Einspritzanlage 1 im montierten Zustand eine Spannung entstehen würde, kann diese nun durch die erfindungsgemä-βe Bauteile-Anordnung ausgeglichen werden. Aufgrund des Spiels S2 des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 3 im Bereich des Abstützrings 10 sowie des Spiels S1 bei der Befestigung der Verteilerleitungstasse 11 am Zylinderkopf 5 kann das Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 sich um einen Drehpunkt D, welcher sich im Bereich des ersten Dichtelements 7 befindet, drehen. Dabei tritt in Abhängigkeit von vorhandenen Spannungen eine Verformung an den elastischen Elementen 9b des Ausgleichselements 9 auf. Durch die Anordnung des Ausgleichselements 9 beim Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 können dabei Toleranzen in allen Richtungen ausgeglichen werden. Dabei ist es bevorzugt, dass das Ausgleichselement 9 möglichst nahe am Rand der Aufnahmebohrung 6 angeordnet ist. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine obere Fläche des Ausgleichselements 9 dabei bündig mit einer Oberfläche des Zylinderkopfs 5. Der Abstützring 10 stützt ferner das Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 in Axialrichtung X-X ab, ermöglicht aber aufgrund des Spiels S2 ebenfalls die Drehung des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 3 um den Drehpunkt D für einen Positions- und Toleranzausgleich. Da für die Abdichtung des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 2 separate Dichtelemente 7, 8 verwendet werden, kann weiterhin problemlos die Dichtigkeit am Brennstoff-Einspritzventil 3 sichergestellt werden. Um möglichst hohe Lasten aufnehmen zu können, ist das erste Dichtelement 7 vorzugsweise ein Teflonring mit einer vorbestimmten Höhe in Axialrichtung. Erfindungsgemäß kann somit die Brennstoff-Einspritzanlage in ihrem montierten Zustand in eine neutrale, kraftfreie Position gebracht werden, da ein Positions- und Toleranzausgleich möglich ist. Dadurch können insbesondere auch in Axialrichtung X-X lange Einspritzventile verbaut werden, welche aufgrund ihres Hebelarms häufig eine hohe Kraft auf die Brennstoff-Verteilerleitung ausüben. Der separate Abstützring 10 stellt dabei immer eine Abstützung des Brennstoff-Einspritzventils 3 am Zylinderkopf 5 in Axialrichtung X-X sicher.If, due to manufacturing tolerances or due to assembly tolerances of the various individual components of the
