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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 °.
