Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an injection valve, in particular for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagram by on the vertical axis a mass 1 of the injected fuel is plotted. On the horizontal axis a drive time 2 of the valve needle is applied. The diagram shows a mass profile 3 of the injected mass 1 of fuel over the activation period 2. Furthermore, a partial lift region 4, a transition region 5 and a full stroke region 6 are identified. At very short opening times in Operahub Schl 4, the stop of the valve needle is not reached.
  • the valve needle For longer opening times in the full-stroke range 6, the valve needle, after it has reached the stop and as long as voltage is applied to the corresponding actuator for the valve needle, at the stop.
  • the transition region 5 is located between the partial lifting region 4 and the full stroke region 6. In this transitional region 5, the valve needle is rebounded from the stop and thus moves in the closing direction at an increased speed. In the transition region in the case of previously known injection valves, this leads to a more or less pronounced decrease in the mass profile 3.
  • WO01 / 38722 A1 discloses a brake spring on the nozzle side of a solenoid valve injection valve.
  • the injection valve according to the invention with the features of claim 1 now makes it possible, in particular in a controlled over the actual opening and / or closing timing control of the valve needle to avoid a drop in the mass profile in the transition region. Due to the injector according to the invention without the axial valve needle stop, the amount of fuel injected increases steadily in the course of the driving time. This leads to a favorable control behavior. The disturbances in the transitional area are eliminated.
  • an injection valve in particular for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, comprising a housing with at least one injection opening. About this at least one injection port, the fuel from the injection valve is injected into the corresponding combustion chamber. In particular, this is a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine.
  • a linearly movable valve needle is provided in the housing, with the valve needle closing the at least one injection opening in a first end position and allowing a maximum flow of the fuel through the at least one injection opening in the second end position. Furthermore, an actuator for moving the valve needle between the two end positions is provided.
  • the injection valve is designed so that the valve needle to the second end position is abruptly braked and abuts in the second end position at no, relative to the housing stationary stop.
  • according to the invention eliminates the known axial end stop in the second end position for the valve needle. This avoids that in a transition region between a Operahub Council and a Vollhub Scheme the valve needle rebounds at the axial stop.
  • a braking device for stop-free braking of the valve needle at the second end position.
  • the valve needle is braked shortly before reaching the second end position over a certain Nietumble away, so that the valve needle comes to a standstill in the second end position, without hitting an axial stop.
  • this braking device comprises a spring.
  • the spring is particularly preferably designed as a spiral spring and is according to the invention on a side remote from the injection opening of the valve needle in the housing. Shortly before reaching the second end position, the valve needle runs on this spring and is thus braked.
  • the spring is designed as a progressive spring. This is possible for example by a variable design of the individual gradients of the coil spring.
  • the braking device preferably comprises a hydraulic pad.
  • This hydraulic pad is preferably designed as a fuel-filled chamber in the housing of the injection valve.
  • the hydraulic fluid, in particular the fuel, in the hydraulic cushion is displaced by means of the movement of the valve needle and thus the valve needle is braked.
  • the valve needle runs when moving in the direction of the second end position on the spring and preferably in addition to the hydraulic pad.
  • the invention does not speak of an axial stop, since the spring and preferably in addition the hydraulic pad on which the valve needle runs, in the axial direction is movable and flexible.
  • the spring used, and preferably additionally the hydraulic pad still has a certain mobility or flexibility in the axial direction even after reaching the second end position.
  • the braking device is designed to drive the actuator and thus can decelerate the valve needle in the second end position.
  • the injection valve is designed as a magnetic injection valve.
  • the actuator includes a solenoid for moving the valve pins.
  • the braking device controls the solenoid such that a braking force acts on the valve needle.
  • the valve needle is braked to the second end position by means of a special drive curve for the solenoid.
  • the braking device for example, the spring, the hydraulic pad and the driving of the actuator with each other.
  • FIG. 2 shows for an inventive injection valve 100, as shown in FIG. 3 is shown, a diagram with the mass profile 3. On the vertical axis, the mass 1 of the injected fuel is recorded. The control period 2 of the valve needle is recorded on the horizontal axis. The mass profile 3 shows the respective mass flow of fuel through the at least one injection opening of the injection valve. Furthermore, a partial lift area 4, a transition area 5 and a full lift area 6 are indicated.
  • valve needles in injection valves according to the prior art in the second end position strike against an axial stop fixed relative to the housing. This bounces the previously known Valve needles back and there is the kink in the mass curve 3 in the transition region 5 (see FIG. 1 ).
