Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing the sealing seat with injection holes of a fuel injector.
  • a fuel injector for an internal-combustion engine comprises a cylindrical tubular supporting body having a central supply channel, which performs the function of supply channel for the fuel and terminates with an injection nozzle regulated by an injection valve controlled by an electromagnetic actuator.
  • Set within the supply channel is a shutter or "needle”, mechanically connected to the electromagnetic actuator to be displaced between a position of closing and a position of opening of the injection nozzle.
  • the shutter co-operates with a valve seat of a sealing seat, which closes the supply channel at the bottom and is provided with injection holes.
  • the process of production of the sealing seat of the injector envisages, in a first step, injection moulding in a common mould of a compound formed by plastic binders and powdered metal. Subsequently, after extraction from the mould, the sealing seat undergoes a thermal treatment in furnaces, in which, as a result of the very high temperatures that are reached, the plastic binders melt whilst the powdered metal is compacted to form a sintered metal.
  • the process of sintering of the metal consists in compacting and transforming materials reduced to powder in an indivisible compound that at this point of the process has the desired characteristics of hardness and strength for the sealing seat.
  • the injection holes or spot facings are made in the sealing seat using an electric-discharge machine (EDM), in which machining with removal of stock for creating the injection holes uses, as is known, the erosive capabilities of electrical discharges.
  • EDM electric-discharge machine
  • Aim of the present invention is to provide a method for the production of a sealing seat with injection holes of a fuel injector that does not present the drawbacks described above and in particular is easy and inexpensive to implement.
  • a fuel injector which has, at one end thereof, an injection nozzle 2 provided with injection holes 3 and is controlled for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber (not illustrated) of a cylinder (not illustrated).
  • the injector 1 comprises a supporting body 4 having a cylindrical tubular shape, which has a longitudinal axis 5 and defines a supply channel 6 for the fuel, which extends throughout the length of the supporting body 4 for supplying the fuel under pressure to the injection nozzle 2.
  • the supporting body 4 houses within it an electromagnetic actuator (not illustrated) for actuation of a shutter 7 or "needle”, which is designed to regulate the flow of fuel through the injection nozzle 2 and has a top end, which is integral with the electromagnetic actuator (not illustrated). In a position corresponding to a bottom end thereof, the supporting body 4 houses an injection valve 8, which, under the action of the electromagnetic actuator (not illustrated), regulates the flow of fuel that traverses the injection nozzle 2.
  • the shutter 7 is mobile along the axis 5 and a bottom end 9 thereof co-operates, in a closing position of the injection valve 8, with a valve seat 10 of a sealing seat 11.
  • the bottom portion 9 of the shutter 7 is housed within the supply channel 6 and terminates with an plugging head 12 having a substantially spherical shape, which is designed to engage the valve seat 9 in the closing position of the injection valve 8.
  • the sealing seat 11 is defined by a monolithic body having a bottom portion designed to close at the bottom in a sealed way the supply channel 6 for the fuel and a top tubular portion that functions as guide for the bottom portion 9 of the shutter 7.
  • the injection nozzle 2 is made immediately downstream of the injection valve 8 and is defined by the plurality of through injection holes 3, which are distributed about the longitudinal axis 5 and are made on an outer conical surface 13 of the bottom portion of the sealing seat 11.
  • the different pre-assembled groups are mounted with interposition of different seal rings that meet these needs and increase the strength of the injector 1.
  • the sealing seat 11 of the injector 1 constitutes one of the different units that are produced independently and assembled in the final stage of the process of production of the injector 1 and is obtained entirely with metal-injection-moulding (MIM) technology.
  • MIM metal-injection-moulding
  • starting powdered metal is mixed in defined percentages with a plastic binder in order to obtain a homogeneous compound, which is then machined in the subsequent steps of the process.
  • the first step of the MIM process consists in injection into a mould 14 (partially illustrated in Figure 3 ) of said mixture at controlled temperature and pressure.
  • the homogeneous starting compound i.e., metal and plastic binder
  • the homogeneous starting compound is heated up to fluidification in an injection press, injected at low pressure into the mould 14, which reproduces in negative the shape of the sealing seat 11, then left to cool off up to solidification, and finally extracted from the mould 14.
  • each injection hole 3 comprises an outer portion of larger diameter and an inner portion of smaller diameter, and the punches 15 are shaped for reproducing in negative only the outer portion of each injection hole 3.
  • the semi-finished sealing seat 11 obtained after the injection-moulding are oversized with respect to the nominal dimensions of the finished sealing seat 11 on account of the reduction of dimensions that takes place in the subsequent steps.
  • the sealing seats 11, in a second step of the process undergo a thermal process to obtain almost complete elimination of the plastic binder without any fractures or deformations of the sealing seat 11 itself.
  • the elimination of the binder is the operation performed for removing the plastic polymers from the powdered metal, and the method used is determined by the physical properties of the metal, by the requirements of the finished product, i.e., the sealing seat 11, and by the chemical composition.
  • the semifinished pieces coming off the injection press are inserted in furnaces for removal of the binder, which usually occurs by evaporation.
  • the process of production described above presents numerous advantages. In the first place, it enables maximum freedom of design in so far as by means of the injection of powdered metal it is possible to obtain sealing seats 11 of even very complex shapes, with particularly reduced dimensional tolerances and with highly automated production cycles. Furthermore, the process of production described above is particularly convenient in the presence of high production volumes and in general enables a sensible reduction of the production costs as a result of a reduction of the machining operations to which the sealing seat 11 must be subjected; said sealing seat 11, at the end of the machining cycle performed with MIM technology, is already finished and ready to be assembled without any further machining operations (or merely requires simple mechanical drilling).
