- 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.
- 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, wherein the injection valve element releases 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.

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.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Injektor zum Einspritzen von Kraftstoff in einen Brennraum einer Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere einen Common-Rail-Injektor, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.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

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen verbesserten Injektor vorzuschlagen, bei dem Undichtigkeiten zwischen dem Steuerventilelement und dem Steuerventilsitz, zumindest weitgehend, vermieden werden.The invention has for its object to propose an improved injector, in the leaks between the control valve element and the control valve seat, at least largely avoided.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Injektor mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Erfindung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei von in der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und/oder den Figuren offenbarten Merkmalen.This object is achieved with an injector having the features of
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, die insbesondere kreisringförmige Dichtlinie (Dichtkante) des Injektors mit einem (Innen-)Durchmesser auszubilden, der größer ist als der innere Führungsdurchmesser. Anders ausgedrückt befindet sich die Dichtlinie, bei einem nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildeten Injektor nicht direkt an der Innenbohrung des Steuerventilelementes, sondern ist mit Radialabstand zu dieser nach au-ßen versetzt angeordnet. Bevorzugt befindet sich die Dichtlinie dabei am radial äußeren Rand einer Sitzbegrenzung des Steuerventilelementes. Der Vorschlag, die Dichtlinie mit einem Durchmesser auszubilden, der größer ist als der innere Führungsdurchmesser des Steuerventilelementes, erscheint zunächst überraschend, da hierdurch auf eine axiale Druckausgeglichenheit verzichtet wird - es entsteht eine innere Druckstufe, an der aus einer Steuerkammer strömender Kraftstoff angreifen und damit das Steuerventilelement mit einer Kraft in Öffnungsrichtung beaufschlagen kann. Der beschriebene Effekt wird in Kauf genommen, da bei einem nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildeten Injektor Verschleißerscheinungen im Bereich der Dichtkante mit Vorteil minimiert werden, was in der Folge die Gefahr von Undichtigkeiten erheblich reduziert. Während des Betriebs des Injektors wird sich die ursprünglich sehr scharfkantige Dichtlinie in radialer Richtung verbreitern (abplatten), bevorzugt jedoch maximal auf eine Radialerstreckung zwischen etwa 50µm und 150µm (in Abhängigkeit der tatsächlich wirkenden Drücke, Durchmesser und Kräfte). Von besonderem Vorteil ist dabei, dass diese Verbreiterung im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik bei einem nach dem Konzept der Erfindung ausgebildeten Injektor in radialer Richtung nach innen zum Hochdruckbereich erfolgt, so dass sich in der Folge die Druckstufe während des Betriebs verkleinert.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. In other words, in the case of an injector designed according to the concept of the invention, the sealing line is not located directly on the inner bore of the control valve element, but is at a radial distance therefrom to the outside staggered. Preferably, the sealing line is located at the radially outer edge of a seat boundary of the control valve element. The proposal to form the sealing line with a diameter which is greater than the inner guide diameter of the control valve element, initially surprising, since this is an axial pressure balance is dispensed with - there is an internal pressure stage, attack on the flow of fuel from a control chamber and thus the Control valve element can act on a force in the opening direction. The described effect is accepted because, in the case of an injector designed according to the concept of the invention, wear phenomena in the region of the sealing edge are advantageously minimized, which consequently considerably reduces the risk of leaks. During operation of the injector, the originally very sharp-edged sealing line will widen in the radial direction (plates), but preferably maximally to a radial extent between about 50μm and 150μm (depending on the actual acting pressures, diameter and forces). It is particularly advantageous that this widening takes place in contrast to the prior art in a trained according to the concept of the invention injector in the radial direction inwardly to the high pressure region, so that in the sequence reduces the pressure level during operation.
Um die aus der Anordnung der Dichtlinie mit Radialabstand zum Führungsdurchmesser resultierende Druckstufe am Steuerventilelement so gering wie möglich auszubilden, befindet sich die Dichtlinie in Weiterbildung der Erfindung nicht unmittelbar an der Grenze zum Außendurchmesser des Steuerventils, sondern ist relativ zu diesem mit Radialabstand, also nach radial innen versetzt, angeordnet. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der der Radialabstand zwischen dem inneren Führungsdurchmesser und der Dichtlinie im Neuzustand des Injektors lediglich etwa 20 µm bis 120µm, vorzugsweise etwa 30µm bis 100µm beträgt.In order to form as small as possible from the arrangement of the sealing line with radial distance to the guide diameter pressure level on 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. Especially 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 microns to 120 microns, preferably about 30μm to 100 microns.
Wie eingangs erwähnt, führt eine am Innenumfang des Steuerventilelementes angeordnete Dichtlinie zu plastischen Verformungen, insbesondere am Steuerventilsitz, und verringert dadurch die Festigkeitswerte. Dies ist insbesondere bei als Flachsitz ausgebildeten Steuerventilsitzen und bei konischen Steuerventilwinkeln mit einem flachen Kegelwinkel von etwa 120° und weniger als 180° der Fall. Da jedoch gerade derartig ausgebildete Steuerventilsitze deutlich weniger Schlupf zwischen dem Steuerventilelement und dem Steuerventilsitz aufweisen, zeichnen sie sich durch einen geringen Reibverschleiß aus. Daher ist die Anordnung der Dichtlinie mit Radialabstand zum inneren Führungsdurchmesser besonders vorteilhaft in Kombination mit als Flachsitz oder als Kegelsitz mit einem geringen Kegelwinkel ausgebildeten Steuerventilsitzen. Unter einem Kegelwinkel wird dabei der Winkel zwischen zwei diametral gegenüberliegenden Schrägabschnitten des Kegels verstanden, also der doppelte Winkel zwischen der Kegelfläche und der Längsmittelachse des Steuerventilelementes.As mentioned above, 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 °. However, since 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 Reibverschleiß. 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 a conical seat with a small cone angle control valve seats. 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.
Erfindungsgemäß grenzt radial innen an die Dichtlinie eine innere Ringfläche angrenzt, die innenkonusförmig ausgebildet ist, also winklig zum Steuerventilsitz, genauer zur Steuerventilsitzfläche, verläuft. Eine derartig ausgebildete innere Ringfläche bildet eine Sitzbegrenzung, deren radial äußere Grenze von der Dichtlinie gebildet ist. Bevorzugt beträgt der Winkel, unter dem sich die innere Ringfläche von dem Steuerventilsitz (Steuerventilsitzfläche) weg erstreckt, zwischen etwa 0,1° und etwa 50°. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Winkel aus einem Bereich zwischen etwa 0,5° und etwa 5° gewählt.According to the invention, an inner annular surface adjoins the sealing line radially inward, which is designed to be in the form of an inner cone, that is to say at an angle to the control valve seat, more precisely to the control valve seat surface. Such a trained inner annular surface forms a seat boundary, whose radially outer boundary is formed by the sealing line. Preferably, 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 °. Particularly preferably, the angle is selected from a range between about 0.5 ° and about 5 °.
Von Vorteil ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der sich die innere Ringfläche ausgehend von der Dichtlinie radial bis an den inneren Führungsdurchmesser erstreckt und nicht an eine zusätzlich innerste Ringfläche angrenzt, die winklig zur inneren Ringfläche verlaufen würde. Bei einer sich in radialer Richtung bis an den inneren Führungsdurchmesser erstreckenden inneren Ringfläche wird die Sitzbegrenzung radial innen von der Kante zwischen der inneren Ringfläche und dem Führungsabschnitt des Steuerventilelementes gebildet, wobei der Innendurchmesser der Kante dem Führungsdurchmesser des Steuerventilelementes entspricht.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. In a radially extending to the inner guide diameter inner annular surface, the seat boundary is formed radially inward of the edge between the inner annular surface and the guide portion of the control valve element, wherein the inner diameter of the edge corresponds to the guide diameter of the control valve element.
Um die auftretenden Belastungen im Bereich der Dichtlinie und damit plastische Verformungen weiter zu minimieren, ist in Weiterbildung der Erfindung mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass der Winkel, der von der radial inneren Ringfläche und einer radial außen an die Dichtlinie angrenzenden äußeren Ringfläche aufgespannt wird, größer ist als 90°. Bevorzugt ist der Winkel größer als 100° gewählt. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform mit einem Winkel von etwa 120°. Es sind auch inverse Konusformen (Innenkonus), vorzugsweise mit einem entsprechenden Winkel von bis zu etwa - 120°, realisierbar.In order to further minimize the loads occurring in the region of the sealing line and thus plastic deformation, it is advantageously provided in a further development of the invention that 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 °. Preferably, 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.
Insbesondere dann, wenn der Steuerventilsitz als Flachsitz oder als Kegelsitz mit einem flachen Kegelwinkel ausgebildet ist, ist eine Ausführungsform bevorzugt, bei der die radial außen an die Dichtlinie angrenzende äußere Ringfläche zum Steuerventilsitz, genauer zur Steuerventilsitzfläche, geneigt ist. Der Winkel sollte dabei so bemessen sein, dass einerseits eine ausreichende Sitzbegrenzung sichergestellt ist und andererseits eine Stützfunktion für die Dichtlinie gewährleistet ist. Besonders bevorzugt beträgt der Winkel zwischen etwa 10° und etwa 50°, insbesondere zwischen etwa 20° und etwa 45°. Besonders bevorzugt beträgt der Winkel etwa 30°.In particular, when the control valve seat is designed 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 the control valve seat surface, 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. Particularly preferably, the angle is between about 10 ° and about 50 °, in particular between about 20 ° and about 45 °. Particularly preferably, the angle is about 30 °.
Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der die winklig zum Steuerventilsitz angeordnete äußere Ringfläche in radialer Richtung nicht bis zum Außenumfang des Steuerventilelementes reicht, sondern bei der die äußere Ringfläche mit Radialabstand zu der Dichtlinie in eine Außenringfläche übergeht. Bevorzugt liegt diese Außenringfläche (äußerste Ringfläche) in einer senkrecht zur Längsmittelachse des Steuerventilelementes liegenden Ebene. Bevorzugt ist die Radialerstreckung der äußeren, unmittelbar an die Dichtlinie angrenzenden, Ringfläche so gewählt, dass die Dichtlinie einen größeren Axialabstand zur radial äußersten Kante der äußeren Ringfläche als zur radial innersten Kante der inneren Ringfläche aufweist.Particularly preferred is an embodiment in which 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. Preferably, this outer ring surface (outermost ring surface) lies in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal central axis of the control valve element plane. Preferably, 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.
Es ist auch eine Ausführungsform realisierbar, bei der die äußere Ringfläche nicht zum Steuerventilsitz (Steuerventilsitzfläche) geneigt ist, sondern in einer solchen Ebene liegt. Dabei kann sich die äußere Ringfläche bei dieser Bauform bevorzugt in radialer Richtung bis zum Außendurchmesser des Steuerventilelementes erstrecken. Die nicht schräge Anordnung der äußeren Ringfläche ist insbesondere für als Kegelsitz ausgebildete Steuerventilsitze vorteilhaft. Besonders bevorzugt ist der Winkel zwischen der außen an die Dichtlinie angrenzenden Ringfläche und dem Steuerventilsitz größer als der Winkel zwischen der radial innen an die Dichtfläche angrenzenden Ringfläche und dem Steuerventilsitz.It is also an embodiment feasible, in which the outer annular surface is not inclined to the control valve seat (control valve seat surface), but lies in such a plane. In this case, 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. Particularly preferably, 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.
In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist mit Vorteil vorgesehen, dass die Dichtlinie des Injektors, insbesondere auch nach einer gewissen Laufzeit, höchstens eine Radialerstreckung von 150µm, vorzugsweise von weniger als 50µm aufweist. Bevorzugt ist die Radialerstreckung der Dichtkante unmittelbar nach der Neuherstellung des Injektors (wesentlich) kleiner als 50µm.In a further development of the invention is advantageously provided that 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. Preferably, the radial extent of the sealing edge immediately after the new production of the injector (substantially) smaller than 50 microns.

In
Innerhalb eines Injektorkörpers 9 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein Einspritzventilelement 10 axial verstellbar angeordnet. Das Einspritzventilelement 10 ist mit einem unteren Abschnitt in einem Düsenkörper 11 geführt, der mittels einer nicht gezeigten Überwurfmutter gegen den Injektorkörper 9 verspannt ist. Mit seinem in der Zeichnungsebene oberen Abschnitt ist das Einspritzventilelement 10 in einen in axialer Richtung weisenden Hülsenabschnitt 12 einer Drosselplatte 13 geführt.Within an
Das Einspritzventilelement 10 weist an seiner Spitze 14 eine Schließfläche 15 auf, mit welcher das Einspritzventilelement 10 in eine dichte Anlage an einen innerhalb des Düsenkörpers 11 ausgebildeten Einspritzventilelementsitz 16 bringbar ist. Wenn das Einspritzventilelement 10 an seinem Einspritzventilelementsitz 16 anliegt, d. h. sich in einer Schließstellung befindet, ist der Kraftstoffaustritt aus einer Düsenlochanordnung 17 gesperrt. Ist es dagegen von seinem Einspritzventilelementsitz 16 abgehoben, kann Kraftstoff unmittelbar aus dem Druckraum 6 über am Außenumfang des Einspritzventilelementes 10 ausgebildete Axialkanäle 18 und den an diese anschließenden Ringraum 19 zwischen dem unteren Abschnitt des Einspritzventilelementes 10 und dem Düsenkörper 11 an dem Einspritzventilelementsitz 16 vorbei zur Düsenlochanordnung 17 strömen und dort im Wesentlichen unter Hochdruck (Rail-Druck) stehend in den nicht gezeigten Brennraum gespritzt werden.The
Von einer oberen Stirnseite 20 des Einspritzventilelementes 10, welches neben der gezeigten einteiligen Ausführung auch mehrteilig ausbildbar ist, und dem in der Zeichnungsebene unteren Hülsenabschnitt 12 der Drosselplatte 13 wird eine Steuerkammer 21 begrenzt, deren Umfangswand radial außen vom Druckraum 6 begrenzt ist. Die Steuerkammer 21 ist über eine radial in dem Hülsenabschnitt 12 verlaufende Zulaufdrossel 22 mit dem Druckraum 6 verbunden. Über die Zulaufdrossel 22 wird die Steuerkammer 21 mit unter Hochdruck stehendem Kraftstoff aus dem Druckraum 6 versorgt. Die Steuerkammer 21 ist über einen, in dem oberen, plattenförmigen Abschnitt der Drosselplatte 13 angeordneten, Ablaufkanal 23 mit Ablaufdrossel 24 mit einer Ventilkammer 25 verbunden, die radial außen von einem hülsenförmigen Steuerventilelement 26 eines Steuerventils 27 (Servo-Ventil) begrenzt ist. Aus der Ventilkammer 25 kann Kraftstoff in den Niederdruckbereich 8 des Injektors einströmen, wenn das von einem elektromagnetischen Aktuator 28 betätigbare Steuerventilelement 26 von seinem Steuerventilsitz 29, der an der Drosselplatte 13 ausgebildet ist, abgehoben, d. h. das Steuerventil 27 geöffnet ist. Die Durchflussquerschnitte der Zulaufdrossel 22 und der Ablaufdrossel 24 sind dabei derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass bei geöffnetem Steuerventil 27 ein Nettoabfluss von Kraftstoff (Steuermenge) aus der Steuerkammer 21 über die Ventilkammer 25 in den Niederdruckbereich 8 des Injektors 1 und von dort aus über die Rücklaufleitung 7 in den Vorratsbehälter 3 resultiert.From an upper end face 20 of the
Innerhalb des Steuerventilelementes 26 ist ein Druckstift 30 aufgenommen, der die in axialer Richtung wirkenden Druckkräfte innerhalb der Ventilkammer 25 aufnimmt und die Ventilkammer 25 in axialer Richtung in der Zeichnungsebene nach oben abdichtet. Der Druckstift 30 stützt sich dabei an einem Verschlussdeckel 31 ab, wozu der Druckstift 30 einen Haltekörper 32 für Elektromagnete 33 des Aktuators 28 in axialer Richtung zentrisch und mit Radialabstand durchsetzt. Bei abgeschalteter Brennkraftmaschine sinkt der Druckstift 30 ab und liegt bis zum erneuten Druckaufbau an der Oberseite der Drosselplatte 13 auf. Der Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Druckstiftes 30 entspricht dem inneren Führungsdurchmesser Di des Steuerventilelementes 26 abzüglich eines Führungsspiels. Zusätzlich wird das Steuerventilelement 26 an seinem Außendurchmesser Da, mit dem er ein Plattenbauteil 34 mit Axialabstand zu der Drosselplatte 13 durchsetzt, geführt.Within the
Wie aus
Zur Beendigung des Einspritzvorgangs wird die Bestromung des Elektromagnetes 33 des Aktuators 28 unterbrochen. Eine Steuerschließfeder 36, die sich am Verschlussdeckel 31 abstützt, bewegt das Steuerventilelement 26 zurück auf seinen Steuerventilsitz 29. Durch den durch die Zulaufdrossel 22 nachströmenden Kraftstoff steigt der Druck in der Steuerkammer 21 rapide an, wodurch das Einspritzventilelement 10, unterstützt durch die Federkraft einer Schließfeder 37, die sich einenends an einem Umfangsbund 38 des Steuerventilelementes 26 und anderenends an der unteren Stirnseite des Hülsenabschnittes 12 abstützt, in Richtung des Einspritzventilelementsitzes 16 bewegt wird, wodurch wiederum der Kraftstofffluss aus der Düsenlochanordnung 17 in den Brennraum unterbrochen wird.To end the injection process, the energization of the electromagnet 33 of the
Im geschlossenen Zustand des Steuerventils 27 liegt das Steuerventilelement 26 mit einer stirnseitigen, kreisringförmig konturierten Dichtlinie 39 am Steuerventilsitz 29 an. Die Dichtlinie 39 ist, wie im Folgenden anhand der
In
Radial außen grenzt an die Dichtlinie 39 eine sich ebenfalls in axialer sowie in radialer Richtung von dem Steuerventilsitz 29 weg erstreckende äußere Ringfläche 42 an. Der Winkel β zwischen dem Steuerventilsitz 29 und der äußeren Ringfläche 42 beträgt in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel etwa 30° und ist damit (deutlich) größer als der Winkel α. In der Folge ergibt sich ein Winkel γ zwischen der äußeren Ringfläche und der inneren Ringfläche 40 von etwa 145°. Wie aus Punkt zwei zu erkennen ist, ist der Axialabstand zwischen der Dichtlinie 39 und der radial äußeren Kante 43 der äußeren Ringfläche 42 größer als der Axialabstand zwischen der Dichtlinie 39 und der inneren Kante 41 der inneren Ringfläche 40.Radially outwardly, the sealing
An der radial äußeren Kante 43 der äußeren Ringfläche 42 grenzt eine Außenringfläche 44 (äußerste Ringfläche) an, die in einer senkrecht zur Längsmittelachse L verlaufenden Ebene liegt und sich bis zum Außendurchmesser Da des Steuerventilelementes 26 erstreckt. Die Radialerstreckung der Außenringfläche 44 (bzw. von deren axialer Projektionsfläche) entspricht einem Vielfachen der Radialerstreckung a (Radialabstand der Dichtlinie zum inneren Führungsumfang) der inneren Ringfläche 40 (bzw. von deren axialer Projektionsfläche).At the radially

Radial außen grenzt an die Dichtlinie 39 die äußere Ringfläche 42 an, die in einer senkrecht zur Längsmittelachse L verlaufenden Ebene liegt und sich bis zum Außendurchmesser Da des Steuerventilelementes 26 erstreckt. Der Winkel β zwischen der äußeren Ringfläche 42 und dem Steuerventilsitz 29 beträgt in dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel etwa 22°, so dass in der Folge der Winkel γ zwischen der äußeren Ringfläche 42 und der inneren Ringfläche 40 etwa 154° beträgt.
