Definitions

  • DE 196 50 865 A1 refers to a solenoid valve for controlling the fuel pressure in a control chamber of an injection valve, such as a common rail injection system, for supplying fuel to self-igniting internal combustion engines. About the fuel pressure in the control chamber, a stroke movement of a valve body is controlled with an injection port of the injection valve is opened or closed.
  • the solenoid valve comprises an electromagnet, a movable armature and a valve member moved with the armature and acted upon by a valve closing spring in the closing direction and cooperating with the valve seat of the valve member to control the fuel output from the control chamber.
  • the bushings are sealed with an O-ring joined to the coil pins.
  • These O-rings are first pushed over the coil pins and then inserted with the coil pins from below into the corresponding bore of the sleeve. They come under radial stress and seal both with respect to the bore wall and against the pin jacket surface safely.
  • the hole is tapered upwards. This can be achieved either via a step or via a conical bore shape.
  • the coil pin is encapsulated in its lower part with plastic, which forms a so-called "dome” above the Spulenumspritzung and also avoids touching the coil pins with the magnetic core.
  • the sleeve Since the magnetic core is usually supported on a shoulder in the sleeve, the sleeve has hitherto been made in two parts, i. from an actual sleeve and from a drain neck.
  • the magnetic core with coil was first inserted from above into the sleeve until it rested on the shoulder. Then the drain neck was placed on top and held down with a defined force. Thereafter, discharge spout and sleeve were crimped together and thereby fixed the magnet in its position.
  • the feedthroughs of the coil pins were incorporated in this case in the outlet pipe. If the sleeve is to be made in one piece in a cost effective manner, this has the consequence that the magnetic core must be inserted from below into the sleeve.
  • the inner contour of the sleeve and the outer contour of the core are not rotationally symmetrical, but have a radial contour.
  • the core is inserted from below into the sleeve in an angular position in which sleeve and core do not overlap when viewed from below. Between core and sleeve there is a spring element which is suppressed with a defined mounting force. If the magnetic core is inserted so deeply into the magnet sleeve that its end face is located above the associated bearing surface in the sleeve, the core is rotated by a defined angle (for example 45 °) with respect to the sleeve. As a result, the areas of large outer diameter of the core interact with those small inner diameters of the support surface. When removing the mounting force, these areas are based on each other, so that the core is now fixed in the sleeve.
  • the magent coil may not yet be mounted in the magnetic core, but may only be joined to the magnet core from below after mounting and aligning it. Since the outer diameter of the O-rings is larger than the recess for the pin dome in the magnetic core, the solenoid can only be mounted without O-rings. Alternatively, it is possible to perform the sealing of the bushings not with O-rings, but these bushings after Pour out the assembly of the complete magnet assembly with adhesive and seal in this way. However, this variant involves some risks that are critical in view of the error sequence, such as the outward leakage of fuel: Although the adhesive initially filled in the liquid state, the entire space between the sleeve and pin, but then hardens.
  • a reliably functioning sealing of the feedthroughs of electrical contacting pins from the housing of the fuel injector can be realized without recourse to an adhesive variant which involves the risks listed above.
  • a sealing element made of elastic material can be vulcanized into the leadthrough hole for the contacting pin for electrical contacting of the magnetic coil.
  • the inner diameter of the vulcanized sealing element is smaller than the diameter of the Kunststoff Industriesspins for electrical contacting of the magnetic coil.
  • This bias in the radial direction also causes a self-sealing of the guided through the magnet sleeve outward Kunststofftechnikspins, so that the tightness is guaranteed even if the built-up at the molecular level connection between the sealing element and magnetic sleeve surface disappears over time. Possible causes for this are temperature changes and occurring mechanical stress.
  • the tightness is ensured by the radial bias of the vulcanized sealing element and not - as in the introduced adhesive - purely by the chemical bond between the surfaces of the sealing element and the surfaces of the magnet sleeve and the Kunststofftechnischspins. This achieves the safe representation of the seal over the entire product duration.
  • the vulcanized-in sealing elements not be designed with a small inner opening, but consistently.
  • the thickness in the center is smaller than the thickness outside, and the sealing elements are designed such that the sealing element can be pierced there by the contacting pin of the magnetic coil with a small axial force.
  • the sealing elements are pierced at these thinned points and biased in the sequence thereof in the radial direction, so that they also seal to the electrical Kunststoffspins the solenoid out.
  • FIG. 1 there is a group of magnets which includes a solenoid and is sealed outwardly in two different ways to prevent the escape of fuel from a fuel injector.
  • FIG. 1 shows in section a magnet group 10, which is accommodated in a magnetic sleeve 12 formed integrally here.
  • the magnet sleeve 12 and the magnet group 10 are symmetrical to an injector axis 14 of an in FIG. 1 formed fuel injector, not shown.
  • the magnet group 10 of the fuel injector is actuated, that causes a pressure relief of a system under pressure control chamber.
  • the magnet sleeve 12 has a return 16, to which on the outside of the lateral surface 12, a return port 18 is aligned.
  • the magnet group 10 essentially comprises a magnetic core 20 and a magnetic coil 22 embedded in the magnetic core 20 FIG. 1 not shown anchor assembly assigning end face of the magnetic core 20 is shown in the illustration FIG. 1 designated by reference numeral 24.
  • the magnetic coil 22 of the magnetic group 10 is electrically connected via a Kunststofftechnikspin 28.
  • the contacting pin 28 can - as in FIG. 1 shown in the left half - sealed by an O-ring 32.
  • the O-ring 32 is inserted into a passage 30 and employed by a plastic dome 36 to a shoulder of the magnet sleeve 12.
  • this solution requires that the magnetic coil 22 must be moved during assembly in the magnetic head only in the axial direction and that the O-rings 32 are already pre-assembled on the coil pins.
  • the contacting pin 28 is sealed to energize the magnetic coil 22 within the magnetic core 20 via a Klebstoffpfropfen 40.
  • the adhesive in the passage 30 is flowable, this penetrates into all the pores or small gaps of the magnetic sleeve 12 and seals them to the outside of the magnetic sleeve 12 back.
  • microcracks may occur due to mechanical stresses and thermal expansions, which allow the escape of fuel from the low-pressure region 38 to the outside of the magnet group 10.
  • FIG. 2 The representation according to FIG. 2 is the view of a magnet assembly 10 can be seen from the bottom.
  • FIG. 2 shows, the magnetic sleeve 12 - see.
  • Representation according to FIG. 1 - Along a circumference of a mounting hole a number of attacks 42. These attacks 42 are formed in the radial direction so that they exceed the diameter of the magnetic core 20 to be mounted.
  • the insertion of the magnet core 20 into the magnet sleeve 12 is followed by a rotation 56 of the magnet core 20 in the clockwise direction 56, as a result of which the wing-shaped projections on the circumference of the magnet core 20 are overlapped with overlaps 42 (cf. FIG. 1 ) of the magnetic sleeve 12 are brought.
  • the spring element 26 designed as a plate spring, the magnetic core 20 is pressed against the radial projections of the magnet sleeve 12 -without a magnet coil 22.
  • the magnetic coil 22 has the Kunststoffssenspins 28 to be contacted electrically, which the bushings 30 -. Representation according to FIG. 1 - Pass and be contacted on the outside of the magnet sleeve 12 of the magnet group 10 electrically.
  • connector lugs are preferably used, which are welded to the Kunststofftechnischspins 28, soldered or electrically connected in some other way.
  • a seal in this solution using O-rings 32 would be only then possible if the magnetic core 20 have passages which are larger than the outer diameter of the mounted on a coil pin 28 O-ring 32.
  • Such large recesses in the magnetic core 20, however, are counterproductive to achieve the desired magnetic force and therefore to avoid as far as possible.
  • a vulcanized sealing element 34 is received in the magnet sleeve 12 in the region of the passage 30.
  • the vulcanized sealing element 64 is preferably vulcanized in the context of a diameter transition of the bushing 30 against the paragraph resulting from the diameter transition and fixed in this manner within the bushing 30.
  • An outer side of the magnet sleeve 12 is designated by reference numeral 62, while an inner side 60, ie the side of the magnetic sleeve 12 facing the low-pressure region 38, is designated by reference numeral 60.
  • the inner diameter of the inner opening 66 is dimensioned to be smaller than the outer diameter of the Kunststofftechnikspins 28 through which the magnetic coil 22 of the magnetic group 10 is electrically contacted after mounting in the magnet sleeve 12.
  • vulcanized sealing element 64 comprises sealing lips 68, which nestle sealingly on the lateral surface 36 during assembly of the contacting pin 28.
  • the sealing element 64 vulcanized into the bushing 30 rests against a shoulder defined by a diameter jump of the bushing 30 and is consequently secured in the axial direction - with respect to the insertion direction of the contacting pins 28 - and positioned in the defined position. If the contacting pins 28 are inserted into the sealing element 64 vulcanized into the magnet sleeve 12, the sealing lips 68 are widened radially so that they conform to the lateral surface 76 of the contacting pins 28 of the magnet coil 22 along a sealing length 72. Depending on the length of the sealing length 72 is a seal of in FIG. 1 achieved low pressure range 38 of a fuel injector.
