Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von Brennkraftmaschinen. Speziell betrifft die Erfindung einen Injektor für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von luftverdichtenden, selbstzündenden Brennkraftmaschinen.The invention relates to a fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines. Specifically, the invention relates to an injector for fuel injection systems of air-compressing, self-igniting internal combustion engines.

Aus der JP 2003-293906 ist ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil bekannt. Das bekannte Brennstoffeinspritzventil weist einen Brennstoffzulaufkanal auf, in dem ein Filter angeordnet ist. Hierbei ist in Strömungsrichtung gesehen oberhalb des Filters ein Abschnitt mit kreisförmiger Kontur in dem Brennstoffzulaufkanal ausgestaltet.From the JP 2003-293906 a fuel injector is known. The known fuel injection valve has a fuel inlet channel in which a filter is arranged. Here, viewed in the flow direction above the filter, a section with a circular contour in the fuel inlet channel is configured.

Bei der Ausgestaltung eines Zulaufkanals ergibt sich das Problem, dass bei einer beispielsweise schräg verlaufenden Einpresskante eine nicht optimale Einpresskontur für das Stabfilter vorgegeben ist. Beim Einpressungsbeginn kann sich hierbei das Stabfilter in dem Zulaufkanal schiefstellen, wodurch die Pressungsverteilung am Pressbund des Stabfilters, insbesondere an drei Pressflächen, unterschiedlich ist und unterschiedliche plastische Deformationen auftreten. Hierbei kann es bereits bei einem relativ niedrigen Druckniveau zum Wandern des Stabfilters kommen. Dies ist durch partielle Druckunterwanderung an den Pressflächen möglich.In the design of a feed channel there is the problem that a non-optimal press-in contour for the bar filter is predetermined in the case of, for example, a sloping press-in edge. At the start of injection, the rod filter may skew in the feed channel, whereby the pressure distribution on the press collar of the rod filter, in particular on three pressing surfaces, is different and different plastic deformations occur. This can lead to the migration of the rod filter even at a relatively low pressure level. This is possible by partial pressure infiltration at the pressing surfaces.

Offenbarung der ErfindungDisclosure of the invention

Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass die Ausgestaltung des Zulaufkanals verbessert ist. Speziell ist eine Verbesserung in Bezug auf einen Einpressvorgang zum Einbringen eines Stabfilters und/oder eine Erhöhung der Festigkeit im Einführbereich des Zulaufkanals möglich.The fuel injection valve according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that the design of the inlet channel is improved. Specifically, an improvement in terms of a press-fitting operation for inserting a rod filter and / or an increase in strength in the insertion region of the inlet channel is possible.

Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Brennstoffeinspritzventils möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous developments of the fuel injection valve specified in claim 1 are possible.

Vorteilhaft ist es, dass eine Hauptachse der elliptischen Kontur des Abschnitts mit elliptischer Kontur zumindest näherungsweise in einer Strömungsrichtung des Zulaufkanals und/oder zumindest näherungsweise parallel zu einer Achse einer in Strömungsrichtung hinter dem Einführbereich liegenden zylindrischen Bohrung orientiert ist und dass die Hauptachse der elliptischen Kontur größer ist als eine Nebenachse der elliptischen Kontur. Die Nebenachse der elliptischen Kontur ist senkrecht zu der Hauptachse orientiert. Hierdurch ist ein verbessertes Einfügen des Stabfilters oder dergleichen in die zylindrische Bohrung des Zulaufkanals möglich. Außerdem ergeben sich vorteilhafte Strömungsverhältnisse. Hierbei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass ein Verhältnis der Hauptachse zu der Nebenachse aus einem Bereich von etwa 1,1 bis etwa 1,2 gewählt ist. Somit ist eine Optimierung der Einpresskontur für das Stabfilter möglich. Außerdem kann eine hohe Festigkeit des Einführbereichs des Zulaufkanals erzielt werden.It is advantageous that a major axis of the elliptical contour of the elliptical contour section is oriented at least approximately in a flow direction of the inlet channel and / or at least approximately parallel to an axis of a cylindrical bore located downstream of the insertion region and that the major axis of the elliptical contour is larger is as a minor axis of the elliptical contour. The minor axis of the elliptical contour is oriented perpendicular to the major axis. As a result, an improved insertion of the rod filter or the like in the cylindrical bore of the inlet channel is possible. In addition, advantageous flow conditions arise. In this case, it is also advantageous that a ratio of the main axis to the minor axis is selected from a range of about 1.1 to about 1.2. Thus, an optimization of the press-in contour for the bar filter is possible. In addition, a high strength of the insertion of the inlet channel can be achieved.

Vorteilhaft ist es auch, dass der Zulaufkanal einen konischen Abschnitt aufweist und dass der konische Abschnitt in Strömungsrichtung hinter dem Einführbereich angeordnet ist. Hierbei kann sich der konische Abschnitt auch direkt an den Einführbereich anschließen. In vorteilhafter Weise ist solch ein konischer Abschnitt mit einem Konuswinkel (Öffnungswinkel des gedachten Kegels) von etwa 10° ausgestaltet. Beispielsweise kann sich ein Durchmesser des konischen Abschnitts in Strömungsrichtung von 3,5 mm auf 2 mm verringern. Die Länge des konischen Abschnitts kann hierbei beispielsweise 5 mm betragen.It is also advantageous that the inlet channel has a conical section and that the conical section is arranged in the flow direction behind the insertion region. Here, the conical section can also connect directly to the insertion area. Advantageously, such a conical section with a cone angle (opening angle of the imaginary cone) of about 10 ° designed. For example, a diameter of the conical section in the flow direction can be reduced from 3.5 mm to 2 mm. The length of the conical section may be 5 mm, for example.

Hierbei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass der Zulaufkanal im Einführbereich und zwischen dem Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise dem Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur und dem konischen Abschnitt des Zulaufkanals einen Abschnitt mit einer Einführfase und/oder einen Abschnitt mit einer Verrundung und/oder einen zylindrischen Abschnitt aufweist. Hierbei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass ein Topffilter vorgesehen ist, das in dem zylindrischen Abschnitt des Einführbereichs angeordnet ist. Die Länge dieses zylindrischen Abschnitts zur Aufnahme des Topffilters kann beispielsweise 1 mm betragen. Das Topffilter kann in dem Einführbereich in den Zulaufkanal eingepresst werden. Der für das Topffilter benötigte Bauraum ist hierbei wesentlich geringer als für ein Stabfilter.Here, it is also advantageous that the inlet channel in the insertion and between the section with elliptical contour or the section with parabolic contour and the conical section of the inlet channel has a section with a Einführfase and / or a section with a rounding and / or a cylindrical portion , Here, it is also advantageous that a pot filter is provided, which is arranged in the cylindrical portion of the insertion region. The length of this cylindrical portion for receiving the pot filter can be for example 1 mm. The pot filter can be pressed into the inlet channel in the inlet channel. The space required for the pot filter is much lower than for a bar filter.

Vorteilhaft ist es auch, dass ein Stabfilter vorgesehen ist, das in eine in Strömungsrichtung hinter dem Einführbereich liegende zylindrische Bohrung eingepresst ist. Hierbei kann eine Einpresskante vorgesehen sein, die einen Durchmesser von beispielsweise 3,5 mm aufweist. Eine schräge Einpresskante kann hierbei durch die optimierte Dichtkontur vermieden werden. Durch die optimierte Dichtkontur wird gewährleistet, dass eine Radienkante des Stabfilters zu Beginn des Einpressvorgangs überall am Umfang an den Pressflächen anliegt. Beispielsweise ergibt sich eine Umfangserstreckung über drei mal 80°. Hierbei ist in vorteilhafter Weise hinter dem Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise dem Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur ein Abschnitt mit Einführfase vorgesehen, der für das Stabfilter dient. Die Einführfase dieses Abschnitts ist hierbei vorzugsweise mit einem Winkel von etwa 45° ausgestaltet. Hierdurch liegt die Radienkante des Stabfilters zu Beginn des Einpressvorgangs überall am Umfang an den Pressflächen an. Gleichzeitig resultiert aus der optimierten Kontur eine Steifigkeitserhöhung des Gehäuseteils, das insbesondere als Haltekörper ausgestaltet ist, im Konusbereich, so dass sich die Festigkeit erhöht. Durch eine senkrecht zur Achse der zylindrischen Bohrung des Zulaufkanals verlaufende Einpresskante können auch die Einpressbedingungen bei Verwendung anderer Filter, beispielsweise Laserfilter, verbessert werden.It is also advantageous that a rod filter is provided, which is pressed into a lying in the flow direction behind the insertion cylindrical bore. In this case, a press-in edge may be provided which has a diameter of, for example, 3.5 mm having. An oblique press-in edge can be avoided by the optimized sealing contour. The optimized sealing contour ensures that a radius edge of the rod filter abuts the pressing surfaces at the circumference at the beginning of the press-fitting process. For example, there is a circumferential extension over three times 80 °. In this case, behind the section with elliptical contour or the section with parabolic contour, a section with Einführfase is provided in an advantageous manner, which serves for the rod filter. The introduction chamfer of this section is in this case preferably designed with an angle of about 45 °. As a result, the radius edge of the bar filter at the beginning of the press-in operation is everywhere on the periphery of the pressing surfaces. At the same time results from the optimized contour, a rigidity increase of the housing part, which is designed in particular as a holding body, in the cone region, so that increases the strength. By a perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical bore of the inlet channel extending press-in the Einpressbedingungen when using other filters, such as laser filters can be improved.

Vorteilhaft ist es ferner, dass der Zulaufkanal im Einführbereich in Strömungsrichtung vor dem Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise dem Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur eine verrundete Kante und/oder einen konischen Abschnitt aufweist. Hierbei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass der konische Abschnitt vor dem Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise vor dem Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur mit einem Konuswinkel von etwa 60° ausgestaltet ist. An den konischen Abschnitt kann sich der Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise der Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur anschließen. Eine Krümmung kann hierbei im Bereich von etwa 6,7 mm liegen. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass ein Dichtdurchmesser eines Dichtnippels bei einem Durchmesser von beispielsweise 6,5 mm deutlich oberhalb des Bereichs liegt, wo der Konuswinkel von 60° in den Abschnitt mit elliptischer Kontur beziehungsweise den Abschnitt mit parabelförmiger Kontur übergeht.It is also advantageous that the inlet channel has a rounded edge and / or a conical section in the introduction region upstream of the section with an elliptical contour or the section with a parabolic contour. In this case, it is also advantageous that the conical section is configured in front of the section with an elliptical contour or in front of the section with a parabolic contour with a cone angle of approximately 60 °. The conical section may be followed by the section with an elliptical contour or the section with a parabolic contour. A curvature can be in the range of about 6.7 mm. This ensures that a sealing diameter of a sealing nipple at a diameter of, for example, 6.5 mm is significantly above the range where the cone angle of 60 ° merges into the section with elliptical contour or the section with parabolic contour.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 in einer auszugsweisen schematischen Schnittdarstellung. Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 kann insbesondere als Injektor für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von luftverdichtenden, selbstzündenden Brennkraftmaschinen dienen. Speziell eignet sich das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 für Nutzkraftwagen oder Personenkraftwagen. Ein bevorzugter Einsatz des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 besteht für eine Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen mit einem Common-Rail, das Dieselbrennstoff unter hohem Druck zu mehreren Brennstoffeinspritzventilen 1 führt. Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 eignet sich jedoch auch für andere Anwendungsfälle. Fig. 1 shows a first embodiment of a fuel injection valve 1 in a partial schematic sectional view. The fuel injection valve 1 can serve in particular as an injector for fuel injection systems of air-compressing, self-igniting internal combustion engines. Specifically, the fuel injection valve 1 is suitable for commercial vehicles or passenger cars. A preferred use of the fuel injection valve 1 is for a fuel injection system with a common rail, the diesel fuel under high pressure leads to a plurality of fuel injection valves 1. However, the fuel injection valve 1 according to the invention is also suitable for other applications.

Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 weist ein als Haltekörper 2 ausgestaltetes Gehäuseteil 2 auf. In dem Gehäuseteil 2 ist ein Zulaufkanal 3 ausgestaltet, der einen Einführbereich 4 und eine zylindrische Bohrung 5 umfasst. In die zylindrische Bohrung 5 des Zulaufkanals 3 ist ein Stabfilter 6 eingepresst.The fuel injection valve 1 has a housing part 2 designed as a holding body 2. In the housing part 2, an inlet channel 3 is configured, which comprises an insertion region 4 and a cylindrical bore 5. In the cylindrical bore 5 of the inlet channel 3, a rod filter 6 is pressed.

Der Einführbereich 4 weist einen Abschnitt 7 mit elliptischer Kontur auf. Der Abschnitt 7 kann hierbei auch mit parabelförmiger Kontur ausgestaltet sein. Die Kontur des Abschnitts 7 ist in der Fig. 1 schematisch durch eine unterbrochen dargestellte Linie 8 veranschaulicht. Die elliptische Kontur 8 weist eine Hauptachse 9 und eine Nebenachse 10 auf. Die Hauptachse 9 ist hierbei parallel zu einer Achse 11 der zylindrischen Bohrung 5 orientiert. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel liegt die Hauptachse 9 auf der Achse 11. Entsprechend ist die Nebenachse 10 senkrecht zu der Achse 11 orientiert. Hierdurch ist die Hauptachse 9 zumindest näherungsweise in einer Strömungsrichtung 12 des zugeführten Brennstoffs orientiert. Die Hauptachse 9 ist größer als die Nebenachse 10 der elliptischen Kontur 8. Hierbei ist ein Verhältnis der Hauptachse 9 zu der Nebenachse 10 aus einem Bereich von etwa 1,1 bis etwa 1,2 gewählt. Der Abschnitt 7 ist somit derart ausgestaltet, dass dieser auf einem Ellipsoid liegt. Bei einer parabelförmigen Kontur des Abschnitts 7 ergibt sich eine Ausgestaltung des Zulaufkanals 3 im Abschnitt 7, die auf einem Paraboloid liegt.The insertion region 4 has a section 7 with an elliptical contour. The section 7 can in this case also be designed with a parabolic contour. The contour of section 7 is in the Fig. 1 schematically illustrated by an interrupted line 8. The elliptical contour 8 has a main axis 9 and a minor axis 10. The main axis 9 is in this case oriented parallel to an axis 11 of the cylindrical bore 5. In this embodiment, the main axis 9 is located on the axis 11. Accordingly, the minor axis 10 is oriented perpendicular to the axis 11. As a result, the main axis 9 is oriented at least approximately in a flow direction 12 of the supplied fuel. The major axis 9 is larger than the minor axis 10 of the elliptical contour 8. Here, a ratio of the major axis 9 to the minor axis 10 is selected from a range of about 1.1 to about 1.2. The section 7 is thus designed such that it lies on an ellipsoid. In a parabolic contour of the section 7 results in an embodiment of the inlet channel 3 in section 7, which is located on a paraboloid.

Zwischen dem Abschnitt 7 mit elliptischer Kontur und der zylindrischen Bohrung 5 ist ein Abschnitt 15 mit einer Einführfase ausgebildet. Der Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase ist hierbei im Einführbereich 4 vorgesehen. In der Strömungsrichtung 12 schließt sich an den Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase direkt die zylindrische Bohrung 5 an. Der Winkel der Einführfase im Abschnitt 15 kann beispielsweise 45° sein.Between the section 7 with elliptical contour and the cylindrical bore 5, a portion 15 is formed with a Einführfase. The section 15 with the insertion chamfer is in this case provided in the insertion area 4. In the flow direction 12 connects to the Section 15 with the Einführfase directly to the cylindrical bore 5 at. The angle of the Einführfase in section 15 may for example be 45 °.

Der Zulaufkanal 3 umfasst im Einführbereich 4 außerdem einen konischen Abschnitt 16, der in Strömungsrichtung 12 vor dem Abschnitt 7 mit elliptischer Kontur angeordnet ist. Hierbei grenzt der konische Abschnitt 16 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel direkt an den Abschnitt 7 mit elliptischer Kontur an. In einem Überschneidungsbereich 17, der linienförmig ausgestaltet ist, kann eine Tangentenbedingung zwischen der Kontur 8 und dem konischen Abschnitt 16 erfüllt sein. Solch eine Tangentenbedingung muss aber nicht zwingend erfüllt sein. Gleiches gilt für eine parabelförmige Kontur im Abschnitt 7. Der konische Abschnitt 16 kann einen Konuswinkel 18 von etwa 60° aufweisen. Die Ausgestaltung des Zulaufkanals 3 im konischen Abschnitt 16 entspricht dann einem Teil einer Kegeloberfläche eines Kegels mit einem Kegelwinkel 18 von 60°.In addition, the inlet channel 3 in the introduction area 4 comprises a conical section 16, which is arranged in the flow direction 12 in front of the section 7 with an elliptical contour. In this case, the conical section 16 in this embodiment directly adjoins the section 7 with an elliptical contour. In an overlapping region 17, which is configured in a line-shaped manner, a tangent condition between the contour 8 and the conical section 16 can be fulfilled. However, such a tangent condition does not necessarily have to be fulfilled. The same applies to a parabolic contour in section 7. The conical section 16 may have a cone angle 18 of about 60 °. The configuration of the inlet channel 3 in the conical section 16 then corresponds to a part of a conical surface of a cone with a cone angle 18 of 60 °.

Außerdem weist der Zulaufkanal 3 im Einführbereich 4 eine verrundete Kante 19 auf. Die verrundete Kante 19 liegt in Strömungsrichtung 12 vor dem konischen Abschnitt 16. Hierbei ist durch die verrundete Kante 19 ein Übergang von dem konischen Abschnitt 16 des Zulaufkanals 3 auf eine Außenseite 20 des Haltekörpers 2 gebildet.In addition, the inlet channel 3 in the insertion region 4 has a rounded edge 19. The rounded edge 19 lies in the flow direction 12 in front of the conical section 16. In this case, a transition from the conical section 16 of the inlet channel 3 to an outer side 20 of the holding body 2 is formed by the rounded edge 19.

Der konische Abschnitt 16 kann im montierten Zustand zum Aufnehmen eines Dichtnippels für einen Brennstoffanschluss dienen. Über die verrundete Kante 19 ist hierbei eine vorteilhafte Montage möglich.The conical section 16 may serve in the assembled state for receiving a sealing nipple for a fuel connection. About the rounded edge 19 in this case an advantageous installation is possible.

Die Ausgestaltung des Zulaufkanals 3 mit dem Einführbereich 4 und der zylindrischen Bohrung 5 gewährleistet eine Hochdruckfestigkeit des Haltekörpers 2 und eine vorteilhafte Montage des Stabfilters 6 in der zylindrischen Bohrung 5. Speziell ist eine gleichmäßige Einpressung des Stabfilters 6 in die zylindrische Bohrung 5 ermöglicht.The design of the inlet channel 3 with the insertion 4 and the cylindrical bore 5 ensures a high pressure resistance of the holder body 2 and an advantageous assembly of the rod filter 6 in the cylindrical bore 5. Specifically, a uniform injection of the rod filter 6 in the cylindrical bore 5 is possible.

Fig. 2 zeigt ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 in einer auszugsweisen, schematischen Schnittdarstellung entsprechend einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist der Abschnitt 7 mit einer parabelförmigen Kontur ausgestaltet. An dem Abschnitt 7 mit parabelförmiger Kontur schließt sich in der Strömungsrichtung 12 direkt der Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase an. Allerdings ist die zylindrische Bohrung 5 in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel von dem Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase beabstandet. Fig. 2 shows a fuel injection valve 1 in a partial, schematic sectional view according to a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the section 7 is designed with a parabolic contour. At the section 7 with a parabolic contour, the section 15 with the insertion chamfer connects directly in the flow direction 12. However, the cylindrical bore 5 is spaced in this embodiment of the portion 15 with the Einführfase.

Zwischen dem Einführbereich 4 und der zylindrischen Bohrung 5 ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ein konischer Abschnitt 25 des Zulaufkanals 3 vorgesehen. Der konische Abschnitt 25 weist hierbei einen Konuswinkel 26 von etwa 10° auf. Eine Länge 27 des konischen Abschnitts 25 kann beispielsweise 5 mm betragen. Ein Querschnitt des konischen Abschnitts 25 kann sich in der Strömungsrichtung 12 von beispielsweise 3,5 mm auf 2 mm verringern.Between the insertion region 4 and the cylindrical bore 5, a conical section 25 of the inlet channel 3 is provided in this embodiment. The conical section 25 in this case has a cone angle 26 of about 10 °. A length 27 of the conical portion 25 may be, for example, 5 mm. A cross section of the conical section 25 may decrease in the flow direction 12 from, for example, 3.5 mm to 2 mm.

An den konischen Abschnitt 25 schließt sich in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel in Strömungsrichtung 12 direkt die zylindrische Bohrung 5 an.The cylindrical bore 5 adjoins the conical section 25 directly in the flow direction 12 in this exemplary embodiment.

Zwischen dem Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase und dem konischen Abschnitt 25 sind in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel außerdem ein Abschnitt 27 mit einer Verrundung und ein zylindrischer Abschnitt 28 in dem Zulaufkanal 3 ausgestaltet. Der Abschnitt 27 mit der Verrundung und der zylindrische Abschnitt 28 sind hierbei Teil des Einführbereichs 4 und zwischen dem Abschnitt 7 mit der parabelförmigen Kontur und dem konischen Abschnitt 25 im Zulaufkanal 3 angeordnet.Between the section 15 with the chamfer and the conical section 25, a section 27 with a rounding and a cylindrical portion 28 in the inlet channel 3 are also configured in this embodiment. The section 27 with the rounding and the cylindrical section 28 are in this case part of the insertion region 4 and arranged between the section 7 with the parabolic contour and the conical section 25 in the inlet channel 3.

Der Abschnitt 27 kann beispielsweise eine Verrundung mit einem Radius beziehungsweise einer nicht notwendigerweise konstanten Krümmung aus einem Bereich von 0,2 mm bis 0,3 mm aufweisen. Der Abschnitt 27 dient als Übergang, um von dem Abschnitt 15 mit der Einführfase zu dem zylindrischen Abschnitt 28 hinzuführen. Hierdurch kann eine vorteilhafte, insbesondere kantenreduzierte, Ausgestaltung des Zulaufkanals 3 erzielt werden.The section 27 may, for example, have a rounding with a radius or a not necessarily constant curvature from a range of 0.2 mm to 0.3 mm. The portion 27 serves as a transition to lead from the portion 15 with the Einführfase to the cylindrical portion 28. In this way, an advantageous, in particular edge-reduced, embodiment of the inlet channel 3 can be achieved.

Der zylindrische Abschnitt 28 kann in der Strömungsrichtung 12, das heißt entlang der Achse 11, relativ kurz ausgestaltet sein. Beispielsweise kann der zylindrische Abschnitt 28 entlang der Achse 11 eine Länge von etwa 1 mm aufweisen. Der zylindrische Abschnitt 28 dient in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel zum Aufnehmen eines Topffilters 29. Das Topffilter 29 ist in dem zylindrischen Abschnitt 28 des Zulaufkanals 3 eingepresst. Hierbei erfordert das Topffilter 29 einen wesentlich geringeren Bauraum als das in die zylindrische Bohrung 5 eingepresste Stabfilter 6.The cylindrical portion 28 may be made relatively short in the flow direction 12, that is, along the axis 11. For example, the cylindrical portion 28 along the axis 11 may have a length of about 1 mm. The cylindrical portion 28 serves in this embodiment for receiving a pot filter 29. The pot filter 29 is pressed into the cylindrical portion 28 of the inlet channel 3. Here, the pot filter 29 requires a much smaller space than the pressed into the cylindrical bore 5 rod filter. 6

Insbesondere zur Fixierung des Stabfilters 6 kann die zylindrische Bohrung 5 im Bereich des Stabfilters 6 einen Durchmesser von 2 mm aufweisen. Zur zuverlässigen Positionierung des Stabfilters 6 kann sich in Strömungsrichtung 12 hinter dem Stabfilter 6 eine Verschneidung 30 in dem Zulaufkanal 3 befinden, die zwischen der zylindrischen Bohrung 5 und einer weiteren Bohrung 31 ausgestaltet ist. Die weitere Bohrung 31 kann hierbei einen reduzierten Durchmesser von beispielsweise 1,7 mm aufweisen.In particular, for fixing the rod filter 6, the cylindrical bore 5 in the region of the rod filter 6 have a diameter of 2 mm. For reliable positioning of the rod filter 6 can be located in the flow direction 12 behind the rod filter 6, a 30 intersection in the inlet channel 3, which is configured between the cylindrical bore 5 and a further bore 31. The further bore 31 may in this case have a reduced diameter of, for example, 1.7 mm.

Somit ist eine vorteilhafte Montage und insbesondere ein vorteilhaftes Einpressen des Stabfilters 6 in die zylindrische Bohrung 5 ermöglicht. Hierbei kann eine partielleThus, an advantageous assembly and in particular an advantageous pressing of the rod filter 6 in the cylindrical bore 5 is made possible. This can be a partial

Druckunterwanderung an Pressflächen des Stabfilters 6 verhindert werden. Hierdurch ist ein zuverlässiger Betrieb auch bei hohen Drücken des zugeführten Brennstoffs möglich.Pressure infiltration at pressing surfaces of the rod filter 6 can be prevented. As a result, reliable operation is possible even at high pressures of the supplied fuel.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt.The invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
