Definitions
- the invention relates to an injector for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, in particular a common rail injector, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a common rail injector with a pressure-balanced control valve in the axial direction is known.
- the fuel pressure can be influenced within a limited by an injection valve element control chamber.
- the injection valve element is adjusted between an open position and a closed position, the injection valve element releasing the fuel flow into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine in its open position.
- this comprises a sleeve-shaped control valve element which can be adjusted by means of an electromagnetic actuator and whose end-face sealing line interacts with a control valve seat.
- the annular sealing line is formed directly on the inner guide diameter of the control valve sleeve.
- the guide diameter of the sleeve-shaped control valve element corresponds to the outer diameter of an axially projecting into the control valve element bolt plus a minimum clearance.
- the seal line has a minimum width packaging. This leads to extremely high surface pressures, which in turn leads to a strong flattening of the sealing edge by the high-momentum forces and by the friction between the control valve element and the control valve seat. This results in a decrease in the surface pressure, which in turn can lead to leaks in the control valve.
- the object of the invention is to propose an improved injector in which leaks between the control valve element and the control valve seat are avoided, at least to a large extent.
- the invention is based on the idea that the particular annular sealing line (sealing edge) of the injector with an (inner) diameter form, which is greater than the inner guide diameter.
- the sealing line is not located directly on the inner bore of the control valve element, but is at a radial distance from it. arranged staggered.
- the sealing line is located at the radially outer edge of a seat boundary of the control valve element.
- the sealing line is not directly adjacent to the boundary to the outer diameter of the control valve in the invention, but is relative to this with radial distance, ie radially offset inside, arranged.
- Particularly important Preferred is an embodiment in which the radial distance between the inner guide diameter and the sealing line in the new state of the injector is only about 20 .mu.m to 120 .mu.m, preferably about 30 .mu.m to lOO ⁇ m.
- a sealing line arranged on the inner circumference of the control valve element leads to plastic deformations, in particular at the control valve seat, and thereby reduces the strength values.
- This is the case, in particular, in the case of control valve seats formed as a flat seat and in the case of conical control valve angles with a flat cone angle of approximately 120 ° and less than 180 °.
- precisely designed control valve seats have significantly less slippage between the control valve element and the control valve seat, they are characterized by a low frictional wear. Therefore, the arrangement of the sealing line with radial distance to the inner guide diameter is particularly advantageous in combination with designed as a flat seat or as a conical seat with a low cone angle control valve seat.
- a cone angle is understood to be the angle between two diametrically opposite inclined sections of the cone, that is to say twice the angle between the conical surface and the longitudinal central axis of the control valve element.
- an inner annular surface which is formed innenkonusförmig, that is at an angle to the control valve seat, more precisely to the control valve seat surface extends.
- Such a trained inner annular surface forms a seat boundary, whose radially outer boundary is formed by the sealing line.
- the angle at which the inner annular surface of the control valve seat (Control valve seat surface) extends away between about 0.1 ° and about 50 °.
- the angle is selected from a range between about 0.5 ° and about 5 °.
- an advantage is an embodiment in which the inner annular surface, starting from the sealing line, extends radially as far as the inner guide diameter and does not adjoin an additionally innermost annular surface, which would run at an angle to the inner annular surface.
- the seat boundary is formed radially inwardly by the edge between the inner annular surface and the guide section of the control valve element, the inner diameter of the edge corresponding to the guide diameter of the control valve element.
- the angle which is spanned by the radially inner annular surface and an outer annular surface adjoining radially outside the sealing line is greater as 90 °.
- the angle is greater than 100 ° selected.
- Particularly preferred is an embodiment with an angle of about 120 °. It is also inverse cone shapes (inner cone), preferably with a corresponding angle of up to about - 120 °, realized.
- control valve seat when the control valve seat is formed as a flat seat or as a conical seat with a flat cone angle, an embodiment is preferred in which the radially outside of the sealing line adjacent outer annular surface to the control valve seat, more precisely to Steuerventilsitzflä- che, is inclined.
- the angle should be such that on the one hand a sufficient seat limitation is ensured and on the other hand a support function for the sealing line is ensured.
- the angle is between about 10 ° and about 50 °, in particular between about 20 ° and about 45 °.
- the angle is about 30 °.
- the angularly arranged to the control valve seat outer annular surface in the radial direction does not reach to the outer periphery of the control valve member, but in which the outer annular surface merges with radial distance to the sealing line in an outer annular surface.
- This outer ring surface (outer ring surface) preferably lies in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the control valve element.
- the radial extent of the outer, immediately adjacent to the sealing line, annular surface is selected so that the sealing line has a greater axial distance to the radially outermost edge of the outer annular surface than the radially innermost edge of the inner annular surface.
- the outer annular surface is not inclined to the control valve seat (control valve seat), but lies in such a plane.
- the outer annular surface may preferably extend in the radial direction to the outer diameter of the control valve element in this design.
- the non-oblique arrangement of the outer annular surface is particularly advantageous for designed as a conical seat control valve seats.
- the angle between the outside of the sealing line adjacent annular surface and the control valve seat is greater than the angle between the radially inner adjacent to the sealing surface annular surface and the control valve seat.
- the sealing line of the injector especially after a certain period, at most a radial extent of 150 .mu.m, preferably less than 50 .mu.m.
- the radial extent of the sealing edge immediately after the new production of the injector (substantially) smaller than 50 microns.

- an injection valve element 10 is arranged axially adjustable in this embodiment.
- the injection valve element 10 is guided with a lower section in a nozzle body 11, which is braced against the injector body 9 by means of a union nut (not shown). With its upper section in the plane of the drawing, the injection valve element 10 is guided in an axially facing sleeve section 12 of a throttle plate 13.
- the injection valve element 10 has at its tip 14 a closing surface 15 with which the injection valve element 10 can be brought into a tight contact with an injection valve element seat 16 formed inside the female body 11.
- fuel can flow directly from the pressure chamber 6 via axial channels 18 formed on the outer circumference of the injection valve element 10 and the annular space 19 between the lower section of the injection valve element 10 and the nozzle body 11 past the injection valve element seat 16 to the nozzle hole arrangement 17 flow and there are essentially injected under high pressure (rail pressure) standing in the combustion chamber, not shown.
- control chamber 21 is limited, the peripheral wall is bounded radially outwardly from the pressure chamber 6.
- the control chamber 21 is connected via a radially extending in the sleeve portion 12 inlet throttle 22 with the pressure chamber 6.
- the control chamber 21 is supplied with high-pressure fuel from the pressure chamber 6.
- the control chamber 21 is connected via a, arranged in the upper, plate-shaped portion of the throttle plate 13, the drain passage 23 with outlet throttle 24 with a valve chamber 25 which is radially outwardly of a sleeve-shaped control erventilelement 26 of a control valve 27 (servo-valve) is limited. From the valve chamber 25, fuel can flow into the low-pressure region 8 of the injector when the control valve element 26 which can be actuated by an electromagnetic actuator 28 is lifted from its control valve seat 29, which is formed on the throttle plate 13, ie the control valve 27 is open.
- the flow cross-sections of the inlet throttle 22 and the outlet throttle 24 are coordinated such that when the control valve 27 is open, a net outflow of fuel (control amount) from the control chamber 21 via the valve chamber 25 in the low pressure region 8 of the injector 1 and from there via the Return line 7 results in the reservoir 3.
- a pressure pin 30 is received, which receives the pressure forces acting in the axial direction within the valve chamber 25 and the valve chamber 25 seals in the axial direction in the plane of the drawing upwards.

- an armature plate 35 of the electromagnetic actuator 28 is formed integrally with the control valve element 26.
- a control closing spring 36 which is supported on the closure lid 31, moves the control valve element 26 back onto its control valve seat 29.
