Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure pump.
  • such a high-pressure pump is used as a feed pump for conveying fluid for a storage injection system for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles.
  • Storage injection systems for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles should be able to provide the necessary volume flow and the required fluid pressure.
  • the high-pressure pump is subject to strong loads in memory injection systems for motor vehicles, in particular mechanical stresses. In particular, large forces must be absorbed by such high-pressure pumps. Thus, both high demands are placed on the materials that make up the components of the high pressure pump, as well as the construction of the high pressure pump.
  • EP 1 898 084 A discloses a high-pressure fuel pump having a relief path connecting a high-pressure fuel pump disposed after an outlet valve of the high-pressure fuel pump with a low-pressure region in front of an inlet valve of the high-pressure fuel pump or with a pressure chamber of the high-pressure fuel pump, wherein a check valve is arranged in the discharge path a flow of Fuel is allowed from the high pressure region to the low pressure region when a differential pressure between an inlet and an outlet of the check valve is increased to or above a predetermined valve opening pressure.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a high-pressure pump, which allows reliable and precise operation even at high pump pressures and thereby subject to the lowest possible wear. At the same time, the high-pressure pump should be inexpensive to produce.
  • the invention is characterized by a high-pressure pump for conveying a fluid, with a rotatable drive shaft, a driven by the drive shaft pump unit having a cylinder housing with a fluid inlet chamber and a hydraulically coupled to the fluid inlet chamber high-pressure chamber in which an axially movable, with the drive shaft is arranged in operative connection with high-pressure piston and which can be acted upon by high pressure, and a volume flow control valve which is adapted to adjust the fluid flow into the high-pressure pump, wherein the volume flow control valve is at least partially disposed in the fluid inlet chamber.
  • fluid is to be understood here in its broader sense, so the fluid can be both a liquid and a gas.
  • Such a high pressure pump has the advantage that a direct hydraulic connection between the flow control valve and the fluid inlet chamber of the high pressure pump is possible. Thus, no connection line between the flow control valve and the fluid inlet chamber of the high-pressure pump is required. In particular, a compact design of the high-pressure pump with integrated volume flow control valve can be realized.
  • the fluid inlet chamber is arranged in a substantially hollow cylindrical portion of the cylinder housing, and the hollow cylindrical portion has an outer wall. This allows a simple arrangement of the flow control valve in the fluid inlet chamber of the high-pressure pump. This makes a simple production concept for the high-pressure pump possible.
  • the high-pressure pump has a connection piece with an inner fluid channel for supplying fluid.
  • the connecting piece has a hollow cylindrical basic body with an inner wall, which rests in a fluid-tight manner on the outer wall of the hollow cylindrical portion, and in the hollow cylindrical portion of the cylinder housing, a fluid passage opening is formed, by means of which the fluid channel is hydraulically coupled to the fluid inlet chamber.
  • an annular groove is formed in the hollow cylindrical base body in the region of the inner wall, and the connecting piece is arranged on the hollow cylindrical portion of the cylinder housing, that the fluid passage opening is hydraulically coupled to the annular groove.
  • the connecting piece is mechanically coupled by means of a snap connection with the hollow cylindrical portion of the cylinder housing. This has the advantage that a simple, rapid and secure coupling between the connecting piece and the hollow cylindrical portion of the cylinder housing is possible.
  • the connecting piece is formed from a material which comprises a plastic.
  • an inlet valve is disposed in the cylinder housing upstream of the high pressure chamber and downstream of the volumetric flow control valve, and the inlet valve is partially disposed within the volumetric flow control valve.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a high-pressure pump 10 with a pump unit 12.
  • the high-pressure pump 10 can be used in particular for high-pressure fuel supply in a storage injection system of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
  • the high pressure pump 10 has centrally a drive shaft 16 which is in operative connection with a cam ring with cam 18 and is rotatable about a rotation axis D.
  • the number of conveying and compression strokes on the number of cams 18 can be specified.
  • the number of conveying or compression strokes corresponds to the number of cams.
  • an eccentric ring and sliding shoes can also be used in conjunction with the drive shaft 16.
  • a circular ring and a mushroom piston in conjunction with the drive shaft 16 can be used.
  • the high pressure pump 10 may also be designed as a crank drive pump.
  • the pump unit 12 essentially consists of a cylinder housing 14 with a longitudinal axis L, a high pressure piston 20, a high pressure chamber 21 arranged in the cylinder housing 14, a spring 26 and a plunger assembly 28.
  • the cylinder housing 14, the high pressure piston 20, the high pressure chamber 21 and the spring 26 are arranged coaxially with each other.
  • the cylinder housing 14 is formed of a metal, preferably a steel.
  • the high pressure piston 20 is axially movably mounted in the high pressure chamber 21 and is in operative connection with the drive shaft 16 and the cam 18.
  • the high-pressure piston 20 is held in constant contact with the cams 18 by means of the spring 26, which is preferably designed as a helical compression spring and is preferably supported on the cylinder housing 14 and on the high-pressure piston 20.
  • the cylinder housing 14 has a high-pressure chamber inlet line 22, in which preferably an inlet valve 23 is arranged.
  • the inlet valve 23 facilitates the filling of the high pressure chamber 21 and prevents the backflow of the fluid from the high pressure chamber inlet line 22 during filling.
  • the cylinder housing 14 further has a high pressure chamber drain line 24 and an outlet valve 25 arranged therein. Via the high-pressure chamber drain line 24, the outlet valve 25 and a high-pressure nozzle 29, the fluid can be ejected from the high-pressure chamber 21 in a flow direction F of the fluid in the direction of a fluid reservoir, not shown.
  • a fluid inlet chamber 30 is arranged, which is hydraulically coupled to the high-pressure chamber 21 via the inlet valve 23.
  • the fluid inlet chamber 30 is arranged in the cylinder housing 14 such that a hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14 is formed.
  • the hollow cylindrical portion 32 has an outer wall 34.
  • one or more fluid passage openings 36 are formed, which, based on the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder housing 14, extend in the radial direction.
  • a volume flow control valve 40 is arranged in the fluid inlet chamber 30, in the fluid inlet chamber 30, a volume flow control valve 40 is arranged.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 is only partially disposed in the fluid inlet chamber 30.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 may also be arranged completely in the fluid inlet chamber 30.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 serves to adjust the fluid flow in the high-pressure pump 10.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 has a valve inlet line 42 and a valve outlet line 44. Centrally in the volume flow control valve 40, a valve stem 46 is formed. Depending on the axial position of the valve stem 46, a fluid flow from the valve inlet line 42 to the valve drain line 44 may be possible or prevented.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 is fixedly arranged in the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14 by means of a screw 48.
  • the volume flow control valve 40 instead of the screw 48 may also have a latching connection to fix the volume flow control valve 40 fixed in the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14.
  • connecting elements for fastening the volume flow control valve 40 in the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14 can be used.
  • sealing elements 50 By means of one or more sealing elements 50, leakage of fluid from the volume flow control valve 40 to the outside or inadvertent penetration of fluid into the valve drain line 44 can be prevented.
  • volume flow control valve 40 in the fluid inlet chamber 30, a direct hydraulic connection between the flow control valve 40 and the fluid inlet chamber 30 can be achieved.
  • no connection line between the volume flow control valve 40 and the fluid inlet chamber 30 of the high-pressure pump 10 is required.
  • a particularly compact construction of the high-pressure pump 10 with the integrated volume flow control valve 40 can thus be achieved.
  • the inlet valve 23 is partially disposed within the volume flow control valve 40. This makes it possible to achieve a very compact design of the high-pressure pump 10 with an integration of the volume flow control valve 40 and the inlet valve 23 in a construction space of the cylinder housing 14.
  • the inlet valve 23 may also be arranged completely outside the volume flow control valve 40.
  • the high-pressure pump 10 further has a connecting piece 52, with a hollow cylindrical base body 54 and a pipe section 56.
  • the connecting piece 52 is preferably formed from a material which comprises a plastic. Particularly preferably, a connecting piece 52 is completely formed from a plastic.
  • the hollow cylindrical base body 54 has a continuous fluid channel 58 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder housing 14.
  • the fluid channel 58 of the connecting piece 52 serves to supply fluid to the fluid inlet chamber 30 and thus on to the high-pressure chamber 21 of the high-pressure pump 10.
  • the hollow cylindrical basic body 54 has an inner wall 62, which rests in a fluid-tight manner on the outer wall 34 of the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14.
  • the fluid channel 58 is hydraulically coupled to the fluid inlet chamber 30. It can thus be achieved that the connecting piece 52 is designed as the only common fluid connection for the high-pressure chamber 21 of the high-pressure pump 10 and the volume flow control valve 40.
  • annular groove 60 is formed through which a fluid flow from the fluid channel 58 to the valve inlet line 42 of the flow control valve 40 regardless of the position of the connecting piece 52 with respect to an azimuth angle ALPHA between the connecting piece 52 and a predetermined reference line (in the embodiment shown here by way of example with respect to a central axis M of the high-pressure port 29) is made possible ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the connecting piece 52 is coupled by means of a snap connection 64 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L of the cylinder housing 14 with the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14.
  • the snap connection 64 allows a secure coupling between the connecting piece 52 and the hollow cylindrical portion 32 of the cylinder housing 14th
  • the high-pressure piston 20 is moved away from the drive shaft 16 by the cams 18 in the direction of the longitudinal axis L, thereby compressing the fluid located in the high-pressure chamber 21.
