Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fixing device for fixing a fuel injector in a cylinder head of a combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a fuel injector.
  • Fuel injectors are in wide spread use, in particular for internal combustion engines where they may be arranged in order to dose fuel into an intake manifold of the internal combustion engine or directly into the combustion chamber of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine. Fuel can be supplied to the internal combustion engine by the fuel injector that comprises the fixing device. The fuel injectors can be coupled to the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine in different manners.
  • the coupling of the fuel injectors to the cylinder heads needs to be very precise to get a correct injection angle.
  • the object of the invention is to create a fixing device for fixing a fuel injector in a cylinder head of a combustion engine which is simply to be manufactured and which facilitates a reliable and precise coupling between the fuel injector and the cylinder head of the combustion engine.
  • a fixing device for fixing a fuel injector in a cylinder head of a combustion engine, comprising a tubular portion including a central longitudinal axis, the tubular portion being designed to engage the fuel injector and to be rigidly coupled to the fuel injector, the tubular portion comprising a first axial end and a second axial end being designed to be completely attachable to the fuel injector, and projections being formed in one piece with the tubular portion and being arranged at the first axial end of the tubular portion and being designed to receive a retaining force, the retaining force acting in the direction of the central longitudinal axis to retain the fuel injector in the cylinder head, wherein the tubular portion is formed from a panel comprising a first portion of a non-rectangular parallelogram shape and a second portion of a triangular shape being in one-piece with the first portion and the second portion being designed in a manner that the first axial end of the tubular portion is circumferentially closed.
  • the second portion of the tubular portion is arranged to directly follow one of the projections in the direction of the retaining force.
  • the invention is distinguished by a fuel injector comprising a respective fixing device.
  • Figure 1 shows an internal combustion engine 22, with an intake air tract 10, a motor block 12, a cylinder head 14 and an exhaust gas tract 16.
  • a combustion chamber 20 is arranged in the motor block 12 .
  • the cylinder head 14 comprises a fuel injector 18 and a sparking plug 19.
  • a fixing device 30 enables the fixing of the fuel injector 18 to the cylinder head 14 of the combustion engine 22.
  • the fuel injector 18 ( figure 2 ) comprises an injector coupling portion 24 and a valve assembly 27.
  • the injector coupling portion 24 is designed to be coupled to a high-pressure fuel chamber of the internal combustion engine 22, the fuel is stored under high pressure, for example, under the pressure of about 200 bar in the case of a gasoline engine or of about 2,000 bar in the case of a diesel engine.
  • the injector coupling portion 24 is designed to be coupled to an electrical supply to actuate a not shown actuator unit of the fuel injector 18.
  • the valve assembly 27 comprises a valve body 26 with a central longitudinal axis L and a not shown cavity which is axially led through the valve body 26.
  • the valve assembly 27 further comprises a not shown valve needle taken in the cavity of the valve body 26.
  • the first axial end 44 of the fixing device 30 is circumferentially closed. With this it is possible to rigidly fix the fixing device 32 to the fuel injector 18 over the whole circumference of the fuel injector 18 via the first axial end 44. This enables a very strong coupling between the fuel injector 18 and the fixing device 30.
  • the tubular portion 32 is formed from a panel 60 which comprises a first portion 62 and a second portion 64 and two projections 34.
  • the first portion 62 is of a non-rectangular parallelogram shape with the first axial end 44 and the second axial end 46 of the tubular portion 32 and a first lateral end 68 and a second lateral end 70 of the tubular portion 32.
  • the second portion 64 of the panel 60 has a triangular shape and is arranged at the second lateral end 70 of the tubular portion 32.
  • the second axial end 46 of the tubular portion 32 and the second lateral end 70 of the first portion of the tubular portion 32 form an angle BETA.
  • the first portion 62, the second portion 64 and the two projections 34 of the panel 60 are forming a one-piece element.
  • the triangular shaped second portion 64 of the panel 60 is arranged to directly follow one of the projections 34 in the direction of the retaining force F.
  • the second portion 64 of the panel 60 is directly followed by the parallelogram shaped first portion 62 of the panel 60.
  • the construction of the tubular portion 32 allows a continuous welding seam of the first axial end 44 of the tubular portion 32 to the fuel injector 18.
  • the second portion 64 of the tubular portion 32 is directly following one of the projections 34 in the direction of the retaining force F a very robust construction of the fixing device 30 against mechanical stress due to a permanent retaining force F can be obtained. Therefore, an introduction of the retaining force F via the projections 34 into the first axial end 44 of the tubular portion 32 causes only small mechanical stress exerted on the first axial end 44.
  • the angle BETA between the second axial end 46 of the tubular portion 32 and the second lateral end 70 of the first portion of the tubular portion 32 is about 60°.
  • the second portion 64 of the tubular portion 32 is large enough to transfer the retaining force F from the projection 34 to the first portion 62 of the tubular portion 32 thereby allowing a good distribution of the mechanical load.
  • FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the fixing device 30, wherein each of the projections 34 comprises one of the force receiving elements 36 and one of the supporting elements 38.
  • the fuel injector 18 is inserted into the fixing device 30.
  • the fixing device 30 is clamped together.
  • the first axial end 44 and the second axial end 46 of the tubular portion 32 are in contact with the outer surface 42 of the fuel injector 18 thereby enabling a fixed coupling of the fixing device 30 to the fuel injector 18 preferably by welding.
  • the fuel injector 18 with the fixing device 30 is inserted into the recess 15 of the cylinder head 14 with the support of a protrusion which allows orienting the fuel injector 18 relative to the cylinder head 14. Additionally, a force exerting device is arranged in a way that it is in contact with the force receiving elements 36. Consequently, the retaining force F from the force exerting device is transmitted to the force receiving elements 36 and the supporting elements 38 or to the projections 34 of the fixing device 30. By this the fuel injector 18 can be fixed in a secure manner in the recess 15 of the cylinder head 14 even if large forces exert on the fuel injector 18 in opposite direction to the retaining force F.
  • the fixing device 30 is very robust against mechanical stress in particular in the area between the supporting elements 28 and the tubular portion 32 or the projections 34 and the tubular portion 32. By this a high lifetime of the fixing device 30 can be obtained.
