Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine with the features of the preamble of
- Such a fuel injector comprises a hubbewegliche nozzle needle, on the lifting movement of which at least one injection opening is releasable or closable, further comprises a control valve for controlling the lifting movement of the nozzle needle.
- the nozzle needle is acted upon in the closing direction with a hydraulic pressure in a control chamber, which can be changed as a function of the respective switching position of the control valve. If the hydraulic pressure in the control room decreases, the nozzle needle is able to open. In contrast, when the hydraulic pressure in the control room increases, the nozzle needle is returned to its seat.
- the fuel injector described herein includes a switching valve for actuating an injection valve member.
- the switching valve has a closing element which can be actuated by a magnetic actuator comprising a magnet assembly and an armature.
- the armature is movably guided on a guide element adjoining the closing element.
- the guide of the closing element assumes a guide pin received in the guide element and in the closing element.
- Guide pin and closing element limit a pressure chamber, which communicates with the control room via a drainage channel. In the closed position of the switching valve, the hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber corresponds to the control pressure in the control chamber. It is also known that the performance of carcass fuels can be determined by their
- German Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2007 063 103 A1 discloses a device for determining an operating behavior of an injection valve of an injection system of an internal combustion engine, which device comprises a piezo film sensor which can be inserted into the injection valve to determine the closing time of the injection valve.
- the piezo film sensor By means of the piezo film sensor, the impact of the valve needle on its valve seat is advantageously determined. In this way it can be detected whether a predicted time for the stop of the valve needle corresponds to the actual time for the stop. If a deviation can be detected, the control parameters of a control device of the injection system can be adjusted accordingly, so that in future injection operations, the closing time corresponds to the desired time.
- the present invention has the object to provide a fuel injector with a sensor arrangement for Nadelsch spazeitticianerkennung that is simple and inexpensive to produce.
- the proposed fuel injector comprises a liftable nozzle needle, via the lifting movement of which at least one injection opening can be opened or closed, and a control valve for controlling the lifting movement of the nozzle needle. Furthermore, the fuel injector comprises a sensor arrangement for needle closing timing detection. According to the invention, the sensor arrangement is arranged in the low-pressure region of the fuel injector in a space that is sealed off from the fuel-carrying region. The sealing of the room is ensured by a membrane made of a fuel-resistant, electrically conductive causes the material, so that the membrane can also be used to realize a ground connection.
- the advantage therefore, is that two functions are realized in a component through the membrane, namely the function of the seal and the function of the ground connection, if the sensor arrangement requires such.
- the sealing function ensures protection of the active elements of the sensor arrangement and / or their contact with fuel.
- the material chosen for the diaphragm is a fuel-resistant material that is also electrically conductive.
- a material is particularly suitable metal, for example
- the membrane is connected on the one hand directly or indirectly to the sensor arrangement and on the other hand to a housing part of the fuel injector.
- the housing-side connection serves as a ground connection and can be made for example on a housing part serving as a support plate.
- the sensor arrangement is supported on the housing part.
- the housing part can serve to support individual components of the control valve.
- the connection is preferably carried out by means of welding or soldering, so that a material-coherent connection is achieved.
- the connection can also be achieved by means of clamps or a press fit, so that at least one non-positive and / or positive connection is effected.
- the sensor arrangement preferably comprises a force-sensitive converter operating according to a piezoelectric principle, which can be acted upon indirectly by an axial force via an axially displaceable force transmission member, which is proportional to the hydraulic pressure in the control space, at least during a limited time interval. Since the control chamber pressure at the time of the needle closing has a significant minimum, the electrical signal output from the transducer will also have a significant characteristic.
- the voltage output by the element can be evaluated, which has an extreme at the closing time of the nozzle needle.
- a sol- This element is also short-circuited via a resistor and the current output by it is evaluated.
- the current profile will typically have a zero crossing at the closing time of the nozzle needle.
- a force transmission member is preferably an axially displaceable anchor bolt, which is part of the control valve.
- the control valve is designed as a solenoid valve and comprises an axially displaceable anchor bolt, which can be used as a power transmission member.
- the anchor bolt preferably serves a sleeve-shaped valve closing element of the solenoid valve, wherein in the closed position of the solenoid valve, the valve closing element and the anchor bolt define a pressure chamber, which is in hydraulic communication with the control chamber. This ensures that in the closed position of the solenoid valve, the hydraulic pressure in the pressure chamber corresponds to the control pressure in the control chamber.
- the armature bolt thus applied hydraulic pressure is transmitted via the anchor bolt on the force-sensitive transducer of the sensor assembly.
- a force distributor be arranged between the force transmission member, preferably the anchor bolt, and the sensor arrangement.
- the force distributor causes the force exerted by the force transmission member axial force is introduced with substantially homogeneous surface pressure in the force-sensitive transducer, which would not be the case with direct contact usually designed with a convex face anchor bolt on the converter.
- the force distributor can be connected to the membrane and thus likewise serve to seal the space in which the sensor arrangement is accommodated.
- the force distributor consists of an electrically conductive material.
- the membrane is elastic, preferably form-elastic.
- the membrane is able to absorb pressure oscillations which are transmitted from the force distributor to the membrane.
- the elasticity of the formula can be effected, for example, by the membrane having at least one leveling sheet. That is, the membrane is preferably wavy with one or more equalizing sheets.

- an anchor bolt 1 1 as a power transmission member 10, whose other end defines a pressure chamber which is in hydraulic communication with a control chamber 3 (analogous to the embodiment of FIG. 1). Since the control valve pressure has a significant minimum at the time of needle closure, anchor bolt 1 1 and force distributor 12 are there due to the load chain
- the anchor bolt 1 1 is part of a solenoid valve designed as a control valve 2, which comprises an electromagnet 21 and a cooperating with the electromagnet 21 anchor member 22.
- the electromagnet 21 is supported via a spring element 26 on a housing part 8 of the fuel injector, which also forms the space 5 for receiving the sensor arrangement 4.
- the power distributor 12 is likewise inserted into the housing part 8 and thus seals the space 5 from the fuel-carrying area 6.
- FIG. 3 shows a first preferred embodiment of a fuel injector according to the invention, which is also shown only in a fragmentary manner in FIG.
- the control valve 2 provided for actuating the nozzle needle 1 is likewise designed as a solenoid valve and comprises an electromagnet 21 which interacts with an anchor element 22.
- an electromagnet 21 is indicated in FIG. 3, which is supported via a spring element 26 on a housing part 8 serving as a support plate.
- the control valve 2 further comprises an anchor bolt 1 1, which in turn is used as a power transmission member 10, since it is supported with an end face on a stand in active connection with a sensor assembly 4 force distributor 12 and with its other end face a pressure chamber not shown limited, which is in hydraulic communication with a control chamber 3 (analogous to the embodiment of FIG. 1).
