Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1.
- injector Such a method for producing a fuel injection valve (hereinafter also referred to in part as "injector”) is already well known and is used in particular in fuel injection valves in so-called common-rail injection systems. Hub-controlled common-rail injectors whose nozzle needle is servo-operated are known. Piezo and solenoid valves are used as pressure actuators, with which the servo circuit is controlled. For fast closing of the valve needle is often installed a permanent low-pressure stage, which exerts a permanent, closing force on the valve needle.
- the disadvantage here is the relatively high leakage that occurs between the high and the low pressure side. Leakage inevitably results in a higher pumping capacity required in the common rail injection system and thus in system efficiency. This situation becomes problematic especially at higher pressures.
- the latest injectors for highest injection pressures are designed low leakage, by dispensing with the low pressure stage. Due to the absence of the low-pressure stage, however, only low closing forces are available for the valve needle. As a result, the response time between the control of the valve needle and the start of injection relatively low. The response time is mainly dependent on the stiffness of the valve needle. Precisely because it is small in an injector without low-pressure stage, even a slight change in the needle stiffness leads to a large shift in the start of injection and the amount of fuel injected. The stiffness of the valve needle depends on the diameter and length of the valve needle.
- the invention has the object, a method for producing a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the response time at fuel valves of different length or different length of their valve needles is at least substantially constant.
- This object is achieved in a method for producing a fuel injection valve having the features of claim 1.
- the invention is based on the idea to compensate for the different mechanical stiffness due to different lengths of the valve needles by a variation of the "hydraulic stiffness" of the valve connected to the valve needle in operative connection control space. This is based on the knowledge that the larger the volume is formed in the control chamber, the greater the delay or the response time until the injection openings are opened. In other words, this means that a relatively short and thus stiff valve needle is thereby compensated by being connected to a control chamber in operative connection, which has a relatively large storage volume of fuel and vice versa.
- the valve needle consists of at least one arranged in the control chamber, standardized first portion which is connected on the side facing away from the control chamber with a second cylindrical portion and that the diameter of the second portion of the valve needle is varied, such that Shortening of the delay time increases the diameter of the valve needle and is reduced to an extension of the delay time of the diameter of the valve needle.
- valve needles it is particularly advantageous to limit the number of possible different diameters of the valve needles if the diameter of the valve needle is varied in diameter steps and that fine adjustment of the delay time is achieved by adjusting the volume of the control chamber via a variation of the length of the second cylindrical section , It takes place hereby a combination of a valve needle with a certain diameter with a valve needle of a certain length, such that the in the control room protruding portion of the standardized first section forms a certain control volume.
- connection between at least the second section of the valve needle and the standardized first section and optionally between the second section of the valve needle and the third section is preferably carried out by laser welding. As a result, high-strength compounds can be produced relatively economically.
- Fuel valves produced in accordance with the inventive method can be produced particularly economically with respect to their overall length if the injector housing of the fuel injection valve has a standardized upper part with the closing element, an actuating mechanism for the closing element and optionally the valve piece and a standardized lower part with a nozzle body, and that between the Upper part and the lower part a total length of the injector housing defining central part is arranged.
- a first fuel injection valve 10 is shown, as used in particular in so-called common-rail injection systems use.
- the fuel injection valve 10 is connected via a supply line 1 with a fuel storage, a so-called rail 2, in connection.
- the rail 2 is stored under high pressure, for example, a pressure of about 2000 bar, standing fuel.
- the rail 2 is connected to a high-pressure fuel pump 3, which sucks and compresses fuel from a fuel reservoir, in particular a fuel tank 4.
- Fuel not required by the fuel injection valve 10 is returned to the fuel tank 4 via a return line 5 under low pressure.
- a fuel injection system 7 described so far has a separate fuel injection valve 10 for each cylinder of an internal combustion engine, all of which are connected to the rail 2.
- the fuel injection valve 10 has a generally designated 11 injector housing.
- the elongated injector housing 11 consists of three modules, a standardized upper part 12, a dependent on the length of the fuel injector 10, in particular annular, possibly formed with different diameters middle part 13 and a likewise standardized lower part 14.
- a sealing ring 15 is inserted in a sealing groove, wherein the pressure-resistant connection between the central part 13 and the upper part 12, for example, by a circumferential laser welding or by a circumferential beading.
- a screw connection 18 is formed in order to connect the middle part 13 to the lower part 14 in a pressure-resistant manner.
- a pressure-balanced solenoid valve 20 is used or arranged, which has a magnetic core 21 and arranged in the magnetic core 21 magnetic coil 22.
- the solenoid valve 20 also has a magnetic armature acting as a closing element 23, which is guided in an axially movable manner in a pin-shaped guide member 24.
- the guide member 24 is disposed in a through hole 25 of the magnetic core 21 and has a step 26, between which and the facing side of the armature 23, a compression spring 28 is supported.
- the compression spring 28 is in this case arranged in a spring chamber 29 which, like the region of the upper part 12 in which the magnetic core 21 is located, is connected at least indirectly to the return line 5 and thus to low pressure.
- the armature 23 is pressed in the de-energized state of the solenoid 22 against a seat 30 of a valve member 32.
- the valve member 32 is screwed into an upper portion of the central part 13 and in this case sits on a step 33 of the central part 13.
- a through hole 34 is arranged with a flow restrictor 35.
- the outflow throttle 35 is connected to a control chamber 37, which is formed as a blind hole 38 on the magnet armature 23 opposite side of the valve member 32.
- In the blind hole 38 projects on the Abströmdrossel 35 opposite, open end, a first guide portion 39 of a valve needle 40 into it.
- the substantially cylindrically shaped valve needle 40 has, at its end opposite the valve piece 32, a second guide section 41, to which a valve tip 42 adjoins.
- a compression spring 43 which is supported between a collar 44 of the valve needle 40 and the facing end face of the valve member 32, the valve tip 42 is pressed against a seat 46 of a nozzle body 47.
- the seat 46 defines a nozzle space 48, in FIG the at least one serving as a fuel outlet opening 49 through hole opens.
- the nozzle body 47 is in this case inserted into the lower part 14 of the injector housing 11.
- the outflow of the fuel from the control chamber 37 causes the valve needle 40 lifts from its seat 46, and fuel from the high pressure storage chamber 52 and the nozzle chamber 48 through the fuel outlet opening 49 flows out of the fuel injection valve 10 via the inlet line 1 and into the combustion chamber the internal combustion engine is discharged.
- the valve needle 40 Due to its length L 1 and its material and thus its modulus of elasticity and its cross-sectional area A, the valve needle 40 has a certain rigidity. In the de-energized state of the solenoid valve 20, the valve needle 40 is pressed against the seat 46, wherein an elastic deformation of the valve needle 40 due to the material properties described above and the geometry of the valve needle 40 sets.
- a fuel injection valve 10 a is shown, which differs from that in the Fig. 1 illustrated fuel injector 10 differs in that it has a total of a smaller overall length.
- the smaller length is achieved by reducing or shortening the central part 13, while the lower part 14 and the upper part 12 are each formed as standardized components, which are present both in the fuel injection valve 10 and the fuel injection valve 10a in an identical manner.
- the other, not directly with the central part 13 and the valve needle 40 operatively connected components in an identical manner are present.
- the fuel injection valve 10a differs from the fuel injection valve 10 only in the length of the central part 13 and in the length of the valve needle 40a.
- the fuel injection valve 10a with respect to the valve needle 40a has a lower response time, (provided that the valve needle 40 and the valve needle 40a from the same Material and have the same cross-sectional area A), the length L 2 of the valve needle 40a with respect to the length L 1 of the valve needle 40 is lower. This would thus also lead overall to a shortened drive time t of the fuel injection valve 10a.
- the part of the activation time t which is influenced by the volume of the control chamber 37, is increased in the fuel injection valve 10a relative to the fuel injection valve 10. This is done by increasing the volume of the control chamber 37 such that the projecting into the control chamber 37 guide portion 39a of the valve needle 40a is reduced in its length. In other words, this means that the shortening of the drive time t due to the small length L 2 of the valve needle 40a is compensated by an extension of the proportion of the drive time t due to the increased volume of the control space 37.
- a third fuel injection valve 60 and a fourth fuel injection valve 60a are shown.
- the fuel injection valves 60, 60a differ from the fuel injection valves 10, 10a through the use of a differently constructed valve needle 62, 62a.
- the valve needles 62 and 62a are each formed in three parts.
- Each of the valve needles 62, 62a consists of a standardized, protruding into the control chamber 37 upper part 63 and a standardized lower part 64, which carries the second guide portion 41 and the valve tip 42.
- the upper part 63 and the lower part 64 are interconnected by means of a cylindrically shaped middle part 65, 65a.
- the laser welding is preferably used as connection technology between the middle part 65, 65a and the upper part 63 or between the middle part 65, 65a and the lower part 64.
- the middle part 65 has a larger diameter D 1 , as the central part 65a with the diameter D 2nd
- the central part 65 has a larger cross-sectional area A 1 than the central part 65 a with the cross-sectional area A 2 .
- the driving time t in the fuel injection valves 60, 60a mainly by a variation of the diameter D or the cross-sectional area A of the central part 65, 65a influenced.
- the different diameters D of the middle parts 65, 65a are present only in stages for reducing the variety of types, ie that only a limited number of diameters D is provided or are present in the production for mounting fuel injection valves 60, 60a ,
- a coarse adjustment of the activation times t is effected via the variation or selection of the middle parts 65, 65a.
- the smaller diameter D is always used. This has the consequence that (compared to the larger diameter D), the volume of the control chamber 37 is smaller, to compensate for the lower rigidity of the equipped with the relatively smaller diameter D middle part 65.
- the fine tuning with respect to the actuation time t takes place at the selected diameter D now by a corresponding reduction or reduction of the length of the central part 65, 65 a in such a way that the region of the upper part 63, which is located in the valve piece 32, projects somewhat less into the control chamber 37.
- the fuel injection valves 10, 10a and 60, 60a described so far can be modified or modified in a variety of ways.
- the magnet assembly or the solenoid valve 20 may be constructed differently or replaced by a piezo.
- the design of the fuel injection valves 10, 10a, 60, 60a can take place so that the solenoid valve 20 can already be closed again before the injection begins or the through-bore 34 is released. In this way, variations between successive injections and Jacobruckjankeiten can be reduced.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzventils nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for producing a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiges Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzventils (im Folgenden auch teilweise als "Injektor" bezeichnet) ist bereits allgemein bekannt und wird insbesondere bei Kraftstoffeinspritzventilen in so genannten Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen angewandt. Bekannt sind dabei hubgesteuerte Common-Rail-Injektoren, deren Düsennadel servobetrieben ist. Als Drucksteller sind Piezo- und Magnetventile im Einsatz, mit denen der Servokreislauf gesteuert wird. Zum schnellen Schließen der Ventilnadel wird häufig eine dauerhafte Niederdruckstufe eingebaut, die eine permanente, schließende Kraft auf die Ventilnadel ausübt. Der Nachteil hierbei ist jedoch die relativ hohe Leckage, die sich zwischen der Hoch- und der Niederdruckseite einstellt. Eine Leckage führt unweigerlich zu einer höheren Pumpenleistung, die in dem Common-Rail-Einspritzsystem benötigt wird, und somit zu Einbußen in der Effizienz des Systems. Dieser Sachverhalt wird besonders bei höheren Drücken problematisch.Such a method for producing a fuel injection valve (hereinafter also referred to in part as "injector") is already well known and is used in particular in fuel injection valves in so-called common-rail injection systems. Hub-controlled common-rail injectors whose nozzle needle is servo-operated are known. Piezo and solenoid valves are used as pressure actuators, with which the servo circuit is controlled. For fast closing of the valve needle is often installed a permanent low-pressure stage, which exerts a permanent, closing force on the valve needle. The disadvantage here, however, is the relatively high leakage that occurs between the high and the low pressure side. Leakage inevitably results in a higher pumping capacity required in the common rail injection system and thus in system efficiency. This situation becomes problematic especially at higher pressures.
Aus diesem Grund werden neueste Injektoren für höchste Einspritzdrücke (gemeint sind hier Drücke im Bereich von etwa 2000bar) leckagearm ausgeführt, indem auf die Niederdruckstufe verzichtet wird. Durch das Fehlen der Niederdruckstufe stehen jedoch nur geringe Schließkräfte für die Ventilnadel zur Verfügung. Dadurch ist die Ansprechzeit zwischen der Ansteuerung der Ventilnadel und dem Einspritzbeginn relativ gering. Die Ansprechzeit ist vor allem von der Steifigkeit der Ventilnadel abhängig. Gerade weil sie bei einem Injektor ohne Niederdruckstufe gering ist, führt bereits eine kleinste Änderung der Nadelsteifigkeit zu einer großen Verschiebung des Spritzbeginns und der eingespritzten Kraftstoffmenge. Die Steifigkeit der Ventilnadel ist vom Durchmesser und der Länge der Ventilnadel abhängig. Will man Injektoren verschiedener Baulänge bezüglich ihrer Ansprechzeit gleich ausbilden, so muss für jedes Muster bzw, jede Länge des Injektors eine entsprechende Taillierung bzw. Durchmesservariation der Ventilnadel ausgeführt werden. Auf diese Art und Weise kann die Steifigkeit der Ventilnadeln für alle Injektoren angeglichen werden. Dies hat jedoch relativ hohe Rüstzeiten zur Folge. Ideal wäre eine reine Variation der Nadellänge, während der Nadeldurchmesser für alle Injektorbaulängen gleich ist. Dies ist jedoch aufgrund der daraus begründeten Unterschiede in der Steifigkeit der Ventilnadeln nicht möglich.For this reason, the latest injectors for highest injection pressures (meaning here pressures in the range of about 2000bar) are designed low leakage, by dispensing with the low pressure stage. Due to the absence of the low-pressure stage, however, only low closing forces are available for the valve needle. As a result, the response time between the control of the valve needle and the start of injection relatively low. The response time is mainly dependent on the stiffness of the valve needle. Precisely because it is small in an injector without low-pressure stage, even a slight change in the needle stiffness leads to a large shift in the start of injection and the amount of fuel injected. The stiffness of the valve needle depends on the diameter and length of the valve needle. If you want to form injectors of different lengths equal in terms of their response time, so must be performed for each pattern or each length of the injector a corresponding sidecut or diameter variation of the valve needle. In this way, the stiffness of the valve needles can be adjusted for all injectors. However, this results in relatively high set-up times. Ideal would be a pure variation of the needle length, while the needle diameter is the same for all injector lengths. However, this is not possible due to the resulting differences in the stiffness of the valve needles.
Aus der
Ausgehend von dem dargestellten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzventils nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 derart weiterzubilden, dass die Ansprechzeit bei Kraftstoffirentilen unterschiedlicher Baulänge bzw. unterschiedlicher Länge ihrer Ventilnadeln zumindest weitgehend konstant ist. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Verfahren zum Herstellen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzventils mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Der Erfindung liegt dabei die Idee zugrunde, die unterschiedliche mechanische Steifigkeit aufgrund unterschiedlicher Längen der Ventilnadeln durch eine Variation der "hydraulischen Steifigkeit" des mit der Ventilnadel in Wirkverbindung geschalteten Steuerraums auszugleichen. Hierbei liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass je größer das Volumen im Steuerraum ausgebildet ist, desto größer ist die Verzögerung bzw, die Ansprechzeit bis zum Öffnen der Einspritzöffnungen. Mit anderen Worten gesagt bedeutet dies, dass eine relativ kurze und somit steife Ventilnadel dadurch ausgeglichen wird, indem diese mit einem Steuerraum in Wirkverbindung geschaltet wird, welcher ein relativ großes Speichervolumen an Kraftstoff aufweist und umgekehrt.Based on the illustrated prior art, the invention has the object, a method for producing a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the response time at fuel valves of different length or different length of their valve needles is at least substantially constant. This object is achieved in a method for producing a fuel injection valve having the features of claim 1. The invention is based on the idea to compensate for the different mechanical stiffness due to different lengths of the valve needles by a variation of the "hydraulic stiffness" of the valve connected to the valve needle in operative connection control space. This is based on the knowledge that the larger the volume is formed in the control chamber, the greater the delay or the response time until the injection openings are opened. In other words, this means that a relatively short and thus stiff valve needle is thereby compensated by being connected to a control chamber in operative connection, which has a relatively large storage volume of fuel and vice versa.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens zum Herstellen eines Kraftstoffeinspritzventils sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Erfindung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei von in der Beschreibung, den Ansprüchen und/oder den Figuren offenbarten Merkmalen.Advantageous developments of the method according to the invention for producing a fuel injection valve are specified in the subclaims. All combinations of at least two features disclosed in the description, the claims and / or the figures fall within the scope of the invention.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass die Ventilnadel aus zumindest einem im Steuerraum angeordneten, standardisierten ersten Abschnitt besteht, welcher auf der der Steuerkammer abgewandten Seite mit einem zweiten zylindrischen Abschnitt verbunden wird und, dass der Durchmesser des zweiten Abschnitts der Ventilnadel variiert wird, derart, dass zur Verkürzung der Verzugszeit der Durchmesser der Ventilnadel vergrößert und zu einer Verlängerung der Verzugszeit der Durchmesser der Ventilnadel verkleinert wird.According to the invention, it is provided that the valve needle consists of at least one arranged in the control chamber, standardized first portion which is connected on the side facing away from the control chamber with a second cylindrical portion and that the diameter of the second portion of the valve needle is varied, such that Shortening of the delay time increases the diameter of the valve needle and is reduced to an extension of the delay time of the diameter of the valve needle.
Hierbei ist es zu einer Begrenzung der Anzahl der möglichen unterschiedlichen Durchmesser der Ventilnadeln besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Durchmesser der Ventilnadel in Durchmesserstufen variiert wird und, dass eine Feinabstimmung der Verzugszeit über eine Anpassung des Volumens des Steuerraums über eine Variation der Länge des zweiten zylindrischen Abschnitts erfolgt. Es findet hiermit eine Kombination einer Ventilnadel mit einem bestimmten Durchmesser mit einer Ventilnadel einer bestimmten Länge statt, derart, dass der in den Steuerraum hineinragende Abschnitt des standardisierten ersten Abschnitts ein bestimmtes Steuervolumen ausbildet.In this case, it is particularly advantageous to limit the number of possible different diameters of the valve needles if the diameter of the valve needle is varied in diameter steps and that fine adjustment of the delay time is achieved by adjusting the volume of the control chamber via a variation of the length of the second cylindrical section , It takes place hereby a combination of a valve needle with a certain diameter with a valve needle of a certain length, such that the in the control room protruding portion of the standardized first section forms a certain control volume.
Darüber hinaus ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn unter Berücksichtigung des minimal und maximal möglichen Volumens des Steuerraums und der zur Verfügung stehenden Durchmesserstufen der Ventilnadeln derjenige Durchmesser der Ventilnadel ausgewählt wird, welcher zu einem minimalen Volumen des Steuerraums führt. Dies bedeutet, dass stets die Ventilnadel ausgewählt wird, welche den geringsten Durchmesser aufweist. Die weitere Anpassung der Verzugszeit wird somit über eine Verlängerung bzw. Verkürzung der Ventilnadel ausgeführt.Moreover, it is particularly advantageous if, taking into account the minimum and maximum possible volume of the control chamber and the available diameter stages of the valve needles that diameter of the valve needle is selected, which leads to a minimum volume of the control chamber. This means that always the valve needle is selected, which has the smallest diameter. The further adaptation of the delay time is thus carried out via an extension or shortening of the valve needle.
Eine besonders wirtschaftliche Herstellbarkeit der Kraftstoffventile ergibt sich darüber hinaus, wenn der zweite Abschnitt der Ventilnadel auf der dem standardisierten ersten Abschnitt gegenüberliegenden Seite mit einem standardisierten dritten Abschnitt verbunden ist.In addition, a particularly economic manufacturability of the fuel valves results when the second section of the valve needle is connected to a standardized third section on the side opposite the standardized first section.
Die Verbindung zwischen zumindest dem zweiten Abschnitt der Ventilnadel und dem standardisierten ersten Abschnitt sowie ggf. zwischen dem zweiten Abschnitt der Ventilnadel und dem dritten Abschnitt erfolgt bevorzugt durch Laserschweißen. Dadurch lassen sich hochfeste Verbindungen relativ wirtschaftlich herstellen.The connection between at least the second section of the valve needle and the standardized first section and optionally between the second section of the valve needle and the third section is preferably carried out by laser welding. As a result, high-strength compounds can be produced relatively economically.
Besonders wirtschaftlich lassen sich nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren hergestellte Kraftstoffventile bezüglich ihrer Baulänge herstellen, wenn das Injektorgehäuse des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils ein standardisiertes Oberteil mit dem Schließelement, einem Betätigungsmechanismus für das Schließelement und ggf. dem Ventilstück und ein standardisiertes Unterteil mit einem Düsenkörper aufweist und, dass zwischen dem Oberteil und dem Unterteil ein die Gesamtbaulänge des Injektorgehäuses bestimmendes Mittelteil angeordnet ist.Fuel valves produced in accordance with the inventive method can be produced particularly economically with respect to their overall length if the injector housing of the fuel injection valve has a standardized upper part with the closing element, an actuating mechanism for the closing element and optionally the valve piece and a standardized lower part with a nozzle body, and that between the Upper part and the lower part a total length of the injector housing defining central part is arranged.

Hierbei ist das Ventilstück 32 in einen oberen Abschnitt des Mittelteils 13 eingeschraubt und sitzt hierbei an einer Stufe 33 des Mittelteils 13 auf. In der Längsachse des Ventilstücks 32 ist eine Durchgangsbohrung 34 mit einer Abströmdrossel 35 angeordnet. Die Abströmdrossel 35 ist mit einem Steuerraum 37 verbunden, welcher als Sacklochbohrung 38 auf der dem Magnetanker 23 gegenüberliegenden Seite des Ventilstücks 32 ausgebildet ist. In die Sacklochbohrung 38 ragt auf der der Abströmdrossel 35 gegenüberliegenden, offenen Stirnseite ein erster Führungsabschnitt 39 einer Ventilnadel 40 hinein.The
Die im Wesentlichen zylindrisch ausgebildete Ventilnadel 40 weist an ihrem dem Ventilstück 32 gegenüberliegenden Ende einen zweiten Führungsabschnitt 41 auf, an den sich eine Ventilspitze 42 anschließt. Mittels einer Druckfeder 43, die sich zwischen einem Bund 44 der Ventilnadel 40 und der zugewandten Stirnfläche des Ventilstücks 32 abstützt, wird die Ventilspitze 42 gegen einen Sitz 46 eines Düsenkörpers 47 gedrückt. Der Sitz 46 begrenzt einen Düsenraum 48, in den wenigstens eine als Kraftstoffaustrittsöffnung 49 dienende Durchgangsbohrung mündet. Der Düsenkörper 47 ist hierbei in das Unterteil 14 des Injektorgehäuses 11 eingesetzt.The substantially cylindrically shaped
Die Funktion eines soweit beschriebenen Kraftstoffeinspritzventils 10 ist bereits allgemein bekannt und wird daher wie folgt nur kurz erläutert: In unbestromtem Zustand des Magnetventils 20 wird der Magnetanker 23 durch die Kraft der Druckfeder 28 gegen den Sitz 30 gedrückt, sodass der Steuerraum 37 verschlossen ist. Weiterhin wird die Ventilnadel 40 mittels der Druckfeder 43 gegen den Sitz 46 gedrückt, sodass auch die Kraftstoffaustrittsöffnung 49 verschlossen ist. Bei einer Bestromung des Magnetventils 20 bzw. der Magnetspule 22 hebt der Magnetanker 23 von dem Sitz 30 ab, sodass ein Durchgang von dem unter hohem Kraftstoffdruck stehenden Steuerraum 37 in einen Ankerraum 51 geschaffen wird, der mit der Rücklaufleitung 5 in Verbindung steht. Das Abströmen des Kraftstoffes aus dem Steuerraum 37 bewirkt, dass die Ventilnadel 40 von ihrem Sitz 46 abhebt, und Kraftstoff aus dem über die Zulaufleitung 1 unter Hochdruck stehenden Hochdruckspeicherraum 52 und dem Düsenraum 48 durch die Kraftstoffaustrittsöffnung 49 aus dem Kraftstoffeinspritzventil 10 ausströmt und in den Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine abgegeben wird.The function of a
Die Ventilnadel 40 weist aufgrund ihrer Länge L1 sowie ihres Materials und somit ihres Elastizitätsmoduls und ihrer Querschnittsfläche A eine bestimmte Steifigkeit auf. In unbestromtem Zustand des Magnetventils 20 wird die Ventilnadel 40 gegen den Sitz 46 gedrückt, wobei sich eine elastische Verformung der Ventilnadel 40 aufgrund der oben beschriebenen Materialeigenschaften sowie der Geometrie der Ventilnadel 40 einstellt. Beim Bestromen der Magnetspule 20 und des damit verbundenen Druckabbaus in dem Steuerraum 37 erfolgt das Abheben der Ventilnadel 40 von dem Sitz 46 erst, sobald der an der oberen Stirnfläche 53 der Ventilnadel 40 herrschende Druck bzw. die entsprechende Axialkraft soweit reduziert ist, bis die Ventilnadel 40 wieder ihre ursprüngliche Länge annimmt Gleichzeitig wird erwähnt, dass auch der Druckabbau im Steuerraum 37, d.h. der Zeitraum zwischen dem Abheben des Magnetankers 23 von dem Sitz 30 bis zur Reduktion derAxialkraft an der Stirnfläche 53, einen gewissen Zeitraum beansprucht, der von der Größe des Volumens des Steuerraums 37 abhängt. Die Summe der Verzögerungen, hervorgerufen zum einen durch den Druckabbau im Steuerraum 37 und zum anderen hinsichtlich der elastischen Verformung der Ventilnadel 40, wird als Verzugszeit oder Ansteuerzeit t bezeichnet.Due to its length L 1 and its material and thus its modulus of elasticity and its cross-sectional area A, the

Hierbei lässt sich das Verhältnis aus der Vergrößerung des Ventilnadelhubs ΔH aufgrund der Vergrößerung des Volumens des Steuerraums 37 zur Verkürzung des Nadelhubs aufgrund der Verkürzung der Ventilnadel ΔL berechnen nach:
Wobei
- E(37) der Elastizitätsmodul des Kraftstoffs im Bereich des Steuerraums 37,
- A(37) die Querschnittsfläche A im Bereich des Steuerraums 37,
- E(65; 65a) der Elastizitätsmodul des Abschnitts 65; 65a,
- A(65; 65a) die Querschnittsfläche A im Bereich des Abschnitts 65; 65a bedeutet und wobei das Verhältnis ΔH / ΔL erfindungsgemäß zwischen 100 und 500 liegt.
In which
- E (37) the modulus of elasticity of the fuel in the region of the
control chamber 37, - A (37) the cross-sectional area A in the area of the
control chamber 37, - E (65; 65a) is the modulus of elasticity of
section 65; 65a, - A (65; 65a) the cross-sectional area A in the region of the
section 65; 65a and wherein the ratio ΔH / ΔL according to the invention is between 100 and 500.
Die soweit beschriebenen Kraftstoffeinspritzventile 10, 10a und 60, 60a lassen sich in vielfältiger Art und Weise abwandeln bzw. modifizieren. Insbesondere kann auch die Magnetbaugruppe bzw. das Magnetventil 20 anders aufgebaut sein bzw. durch einen Piezo ersetzt werden. Auch wird ergänzend erwährt, dass die Auslegung der Kraftstoffeinspritzventile 10, 10a, 60, 60a so erfolgen kann, dass das Magnetventil 20 bereits wieder geschlossen sein kann, bevor die Einspritzung beginnt bzw. die Durchgangsbohrung 34 freigegeben wird. Auf diese Art und Weise lassen sich Streuungen zwischen hintereinander folgenden Einspritzungen sowie Gegendruckabhängigkeiten reduzieren.The
