Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a fuel injector and a fuel-injection system.
- 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 injectors of the fuel-injection system.
- 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 fuel injector for 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.
- It is furthermore the object of the invention to create a fuel-injection system that ensures a precise dosing of fuel.
- The objects are achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the sub-claims.
- According to a first aspect the invention is distinguished by a fuel injector including a central longitudinal axis and being operable to be arranged in a cylinder head of a combustion engine. The fuel injector has an injector body and an adjustment device. The adjustment device comprises a ring element being designed to be arranged in a recess of a cylinder head between the injector body and the cylinder head to align the fuel injector relative to the recess in radial direction, and a distance element. The distance element is designed to be arranged in the recess between the ring element and the cylinder head to level the fuel injector relative to the cylinder head in axial direction.
- This has the advantage that for every adjustment device the same ring element can be used. The leveling of the fuel injector relative to the cylinder head can be carried out by distance elements with different axial extensions. Consequently, a simple production of the distance element is possible.
- In an advantageous embodiment the distance element is a washer with a given thickness. By this the leveling of the fuel injector relative to the cylinder head can be carried out by using distance elements with different thickness.
- In a further advantageous embodiment the distance element is of a material comprising a plastic. By this a good contact between the distance element and the cylinder head is possible. Furthermore, little adhesion between the distance element and the cylinder head during lifetime can be obtained. Consequently, simple service operations are possible. Additionally, a low noise due to contact between the fuel injector and the cylinder head can be obtained.
- In a further advantageous embodiment the distance element is of a material comprising at least one of a polyphenylene sulfide, a polybutylene terephthalate and a polyethylene terephthalate. This has the advantage that PPS, PBT and PET are very hard and robust plastics.
- In a further advantageous embodiment a retaining element is fixedly coupled to the injector body and is extending radially outward from the injector body in a manner that the retaining element is in interference with the distance element in radial direction. By this the retaining element can remove the distance element and/or the ring element from the recess in the case of disassembling.
- In a further advantageous embodiment the retaining element is coupled to the injector body by an interference fit. This has the advantage that no further processing of the injector body is necessary to couple the retaining element to the injector body. Furthermore, a simple stamping process for the retaining element is possible.
- According to a second aspect the invention is distinguished by a fuel-injection system with a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine and a fuel injector according to the first aspect of the invention. The fuel injector is arranged in a recess of the cylinder head.
- Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in the following with the aid of schematic drawings. These are as follows:
-
Figure 1 an internal combustion engine in a schematic view, -
Figure 2 a fuel injector and a cylinder head in a schematic view, and -
Figure 3 the fuel injector with an adjustment device. - Elements of the same design and function that occur in different illustrations are identified by the same reference character.
-
Figure 1 shows aninternal combustion engine 22, with anintake air tract 10, amotor block 12, acylinder head 14 and anexhaust gas tract 16. In the motor block 12 acombustion chamber 20 is arranged. - The
cylinder head 14 comprises one or more recesses 15 in which at least onefuel injector 18 and at least onesparking plug 19 are arranged. Theinjector body 26 is at least partially in engagement with the recess 15. Anadjustment device 30 is arranged in the recess 15 and enables the adjustment of thefuel injector 18 relative to thecylinder head 14 of thecombustion engine 22. - The fuel injector 18 (
Figures 2 and3 ) comprises aninjector coupling portion 24 and avalve assembly 27. Theinjector coupling portion 24 is designed to be coupled to a highpressure fuel chamber of theinternal 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 more than 2,000 bar in the case of a diesel engine. - Furthermore, the
injector coupling portion 24 is designed to be coupled to an electrical supply to actuate a not shown actuator unit of thefuel injector 18. - The
fuel injector 18 comprises avalve body 26 with a central longitudinal axis L and a not shown cavity which is axially led through thevalve body 26. Thefuel injector 18 further comprises a not shown valve needle taken in the cavity of thevalve body 26. On a free end of thefuel injector 18 aninjection nozzle 28 is formed which is closed or opened by an axial movement of the valve needle. In a closing position a fuel flow through theinjection nozzle 28 is prevented. In an opening position fuel can flow through theinjection nozzle 28 into thecombustion chamber 20 of theinternal combustion engine 22. - As can be best seen in
Figure 3 theadjustment device 30 comprises aring element 32 and adistance element 34 extending in the direction of the central longitudinal axis L. - The
ring element 32 has aspherical surface 36 facing the central longitudinal axis L. Thespherical surface 36 is designed to be arranged circumferentially over thering element 32. Due to thespherical surface 36 thefuel injector 18 can be aligned in radial direction relative to the recess 15. Thespherical surface 36 of thering element 32 acts as a centering unit for thefuel injector 18 in the recess 15. - Preferably, the
distance element 34 is shaped as a washer and has a given thickness T in axial direction. Depending on the thickness T of thedistance element 34 the axial position of thefuel injector 18 relative to thecylinder head 14 can be adjusted. - The
distance element 34 is of a material which comprises a plastic. A plastic enables a good contact between thedistance element 34 and thecylinder head 14. Furthermore, only little adhesion between thedistance element 34 and thecylinder head 14 during the lifetime of thefuel injector 18 can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible that the necessary services as for example a disassembling of thefuel injector 18 from thecylinder head 14 can be carried out very simple. Plastics achieve a low noise emission due to a contact between thefuel injector 18 and thecylinder head 14. In a preferred embodiment, thedistance element 34 is of a material comprising a polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). PPS is a very hard and robust plastic. In further preferred embodiments, thedistance element 34 is of a material which comprises at least one of a polybutylene terephthalate and a polyethylene terephthalate. - Furthermore, the
adjustment device 30 has a retainingelement 38 which is fixedly coupled to theinjector body 26. Preferably, the retainingelement 38 is of a material which comprises a plastic. Preferably, the retainingelement 38 is coupled to theinjector body 26 by an interference fit. This has the advantage that no further machining of thevalve body 26 is necessary. The retainingelement 38 is extending in radial direction from theinjector body 26. The maximum radial extension of the retainingelement 38 is at least as large as the inner diameter of thedistance element 34. By this the retainingelement 38 is in radial interference with thedistance element 34. - In the following, the assembly and disassembly of the
fuel injector 18, theadjustment device 30 and thecylinder head 14 of thecombustion engine 22 will be described: - For assembling the
fuel injector 18 with thering element 32, thedistance element 34 and the retainingelement 38 is inserted into the recess 15 of thecylinder head 14 in an inserting direction D. Thering element 32 with the symmetricspherical surface 36 enables an exact positioning of thefuel injector 18 relative to thecylinder head 14 in particular in radial direction. Thedistance element 34 enables an exact positioning of thefuel injector 18 relative to thecylinder head 14 in axial direction. The axial position of thefuel injector 18 is depending on the thickness T of thedistance element 34 - If the
fuel injector 18 shall be removed from thecylinder head 14, thefuel injector 18 with thering element 32, thedistance element 34 and the retainingelement 38 can be pulled out from the recess 15 in thecylinder head 14 in a direction opposite to the inserting direction D. As the adhesion between thedistance element 34 and thecylinder head 14 is small, thefuel injector 18 can be pulled out from the recess 15 very simple. As the retainingelement 38 is in radial interference with thedistance element 34, the retainingelement 38 can come into engagement with thedistance element 34 and/or thering element 32. Therefore, thedistance element 34 and thering element 32 can be moved out from the recess 15. - As has been shown, the construction of the
adjustment device 30 allows an exact alignment of thefuel injector 18 relative to thecylinder head 14 and a fast and simple disassembly of thefuel injector 18 from thecylinder head 14.
