Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fuel injector for internal combustion engines.
- the invention relates in particular to a fuel injector for large two-stroke internal combustion engines, such as diesel engines for naval propulsion.
- the present invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising an atomizer fixed at a lower end of a valve guide and provided with a plurality of nozzle bores, a spindle having a valve portion cooperating with a valve seat of the valve guide, and a cut-off element extending into a longitudinal bore of the atomizer to reduce the volume in fluid connection with the nozzle bores when the spindle is in a closed position.
- EP-A-052937 discloses a fuel injector comprising an axially displaceable spindle having a valve portion which cooperates with a corresponding valve seat of the valve guide and a cut-off element extending below the valve portion of the valve spindle into a central bore of the atomizer.
- the outer wall of the cut-off element is effective to open and close inlet openings of the nozzle bores.
- the nozzle bores are arranged in a single row, i.e. the inlet openings of the nozzle bores are all placed at approximately the same distance from the lower end of the atomizer.
- a problem of this solution is that the total number of nozzle bores arranged within a maximum angle cannot be increased without compromising the strength of the side wall of the atomizer.
- W02008/071187 discloses a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the inlet openings of the nozzle bores of the atomizer are arranged in a first row and in a second row axially spaced apart and separated from each other by a cylindrical sealing portion.
- a cut-off element extending into a longitudinal bore of the atomizer has a first cylindrical section arranged to open and close the lower row of inlet openings and a second cylindrical section cooperating with a secondary valve seat for closing off the upper row of inlet openings when the valve spindle is closed.
- the lower row of inlet openings is supplied by fuel flowing through a central duct of the cut-off element and the upper row of inlet openings is supplied by fuel flowing in an annular passage defined between the inner wall of the atomizer bore and the outer surface of the cut-off element.
- the object of the present invention is to provide improved injector designs which overcome the problems caused by the fluid dynamic forces which act on the cut-off element.
- the reference number 10 indicates the lower portion of an atomizer for a fuel injector for diesel engines.
- the atomizer 10 consists of a cylindrical body of corrosion-resistant material with a closed rounded bottom end 12.
- the atomizer 10 has a longitudinal bore 14 closed at its bottom end and having a longitudinal axis A.
- a plurality of nozzle bores 16 is formed in the lateral wall of the atomizer 10.
- the nozzle bores 16 have respective inner openings 18 facing into the longitudinal bore 14 and outlet openings 20 open on the outer surface of the atomizer.
- the inlet openings 18 of the nozzle bores 16 are divided into an upper group and a lower group, spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction A.
- the injector includes a spindle (not visible in figure 1 ) having a cut-off element 22 which extends into the longitudinal bore 14 of the atomizer 10.
- the cut-off element 22 is movable in the longitudinal direction A with respect to the longitudinal bore 14 between an open and a closed position.
- the longitudinal bore 14 has an upper an a lower cylindrical sealing portion 24, 26.
- the upper sealing portion 24 is above the upper group of inner openings 18 and the lower sealing portion 26 is below the lower group of inner openings 18.
- the cut-off element 22 has a cylindrical upper sealing portion 28 and a cylindrical lower sealing portion 30. In the closed position the upper and lower sealing portions 28, 30 of the cut-off element 22 are in sealing contact respectively with the upper and lower sealing portions 24, 26 of the longitudinal bore 14 and define an upper cut-off section 32 and a lower cut-off section 34.
- the cut-off element has a central duct 36 which in the closed position of the cut-off element 22 is in flow connection with the longitudinal bore 14 both above the upper cut-off section 32 and below the lower cut-off section 34.
- the cut-off element 22 is provided with a supplementary guiding section 38 extending below the upper sealing portion 28 of the cut-off element 22.
- the supplementary guiding section 38 is in guiding contact with the upper sealing portion 24 of the longitudinal bore 14.
- the supplementary guiding section 38 includes a plurality of guiding ribs 40 spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and having outer cylindrical surfaces in sliding contact with the upper sealing portion 24. Channels 42 are formed between adjacent guiding ribs 40. The channels 42 allow passage of a flow of fuel through the upper cut-off section 32 in the open position of the cut-off element 22.
- Figure 2 shows an alternative embodiment wherein the lower sealing portion 30 of the cut-off element 22 extends below the lower group of inner openings both in the closed and in the open position of the cut-off element 22.
- the cut off element is guided on the lower sealing portion 30, below the lower group of inner openings 18.
- manufacturing of the cut-off element 22 is simplified because drilling of relatively big holes on the cut off element 22 is avoided and only small holes might be required just to balance pressures on the end face of the cut-off element. No holes bigger than 35% of the diameter of the cut-off element 22 are formed. In this way the cut-off element 22 is subjected to much smaller stresses than in prior art designs thus increasing the reliability of the component. This design also provides a very high sac volume reduction.
- Figures 3 and 4 show a further solution for closing the injection holes with nearly zero sac volume and without any radial forces caused by the fluid flow dynamic, which can lead to friction between the nozzle wall and valve body.
- the cut-off element is designed as a pipe and a spherical element 44, such as a ball, is positioned on the bottom end of the longitudinal bore 14. In the closed position the bottom end of the cut-off element 22 abuts on the spherical element 44 and closes the main flow on the sealing surface of the spherical element 44.
- an elastic disc 46 is provided at the upper end of the longitudinal bore 14.
- a spindle 48 is provided with a conical sealing portion 50 above the cut-off element 22. The sealing area between the conical sealing portion 50 and the disc 46 is closed at the same time as the bottom end of the cut-off element 22 contacts the spherical element 44.
- the embodiments of figures 2 , 3 and 4 are supposed to have the same guiding portion 38 as disclosed with reference to figure 1 , as well as all the other features of claim 1, in particular an upper and a lower group of inlet openings and upper and lower sealing portions of the longitudinal bore and the cut-off element.
