Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel distributor, in particular a fuel distributor strip for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
- the invention is suitable for fuel injection systems designed as medium-pressure systems.
- Fuel direct injection fuel rail direct injection fuel injection systems which operate under high pressure and are used for motor vehicles, may use steel or aluminum as the construction material.
- fuel distribution rails for fuel injection systems with intake manifold injection however, thin-walled steel pipes, plastic pipes or optionally also aluminum pipes can be used.
- high pressure fuel injection systems operate at about 20 MPa (200 bar) in particular, the low cost fuel injection systems for low pressure applications typically operate at only 0.3 MPa to 0.5 MPa or 3 to 5 bar.
- a high pressure port may be attached to the steel main pipe by a brazing process.
- a plastic pipe In a plastic pipe, however, can be made by a suitable welding process, a connection.
- the fuel distributor in particular for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines, known, comprising a fuel space enclosed by at least one housing part.
- the fuel distributor has a screw and a sealing ring, wherein on the housing part a recess is provided into which the screw is screwed, wherein the sealing ring between the screw and the housing part forms a seal and wherein the screw has an external thread.
- an annular groove is designed which receives the sealing ring. From the installation position, the sealing ring rushes into the external thread of the screw element, so that the annular groove is arranged between the external thread of the screw element and an end of the screw element facing the fuel chamber on the screw element.
- the metallic housing part has an internal thread, which cooperates with the external thread of the screw to a fixed connection when screwing the screw.
- the fuel distributor according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that a connection suitable for medium pressure, in particular for a connection or closure, can be created with comparatively low production costs.
- the housing part is made of plastic, in particular as a plastic injection molded part.
- plastic in particular as a plastic injection molded part.
- the annular groove is advantageous for the annular groove to be arranged between the external thread of the screw element and an end of the screw element facing the fuel chamber on the screw element. It is advantageous that the sealing ring leads the external thread of the screw.
- the sealing ring seals the region of the external thread of the screw element with respect to the fuel chamber. Chips and other impurities in the area of the external thread can thus not get further inward, that is to say into the fuel space. In addition, these chips and possibly other impurities can not escape to the outside. Thus, existing contaminants remain trapped in the area of the external thread. Impairment of the functionality of the fuel injection system during operation are thereby avoided from the outset.
- the screw element is configured as a connection element with a connection piece and a through hole leading from the connection piece into the fuel space.
- a suitable connection for a medium pressure can be realized.
- a fuel line may be mounted to lead into the fuel space of the fuel manifold under a certain pressure fuel.

- the screw has the external thread and that the annular groove is formed on the screw, which receives the sealing ring.
- an inner diameter of the annular groove is smaller than a threaded inner diameter of the external thread of the screw. This makes it possible that the sealing ring is not loaded when screwing and thus not damaged.
- the seat of the sealing ring on a smaller diameter is additionally advantageous, as a result of the hydraulically effective diameter smaller and thus the forces are lower.
- the external thread of the screw has a conical thread form with a steeper angle than a cylindrical or conical shape of the recess of the housing part. Due to the conical thread shape, which has a steeper angle than, for example, a Entformschräge of a plastic injection molding, which forms the housing part, the first thread is formed less in the plastic component than the last thread. Thus arises at the first thread of the screw, which is a possible predetermined breaking point of the preferably tubular housing part, a smaller notch with the advantage of high strength of the housing part, in particular of the tubular housing part, and in the last threads quite a noticeable transmitted load occurs. As a result, the screw can be configured optimally short, so that the cost of materials is reduced and a required space is small.
- longitudinal ribs or transverse ribs are configured on the housing part in a longitudinal direction and / or transverse direction to an axis of the screw element.
- the stability of the housing part made of plastic can be improved.
- the wall thickness is limited. It is advantageous that, at least in the region of the screw element, a length of the longitudinal ribs or a spacing of the transverse ribs from one another is greater than a threaded length of the external thread of the screw element screwed into the housing part. As a result, the force can be transmitted beyond the notch of the first thread on the unnotched, higher-strength region of the housing part.

- the sealing ring 14 is preferably configured in the initial state as an O-ring 14 with approximately circular profile.
- the sealing ring 14 is preferably fuel-resistant, in particular gasoline resistant, designed.

- the annular groove 15 is disposed between the external thread 7 of the screw 6 and a fuel chamber 3 facing the end 18 of the screw 6.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Brennstoffverteiler, insbesondere eine Brennstoffverteilerleiste für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen von gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschinen. Speziell eignet sich die Erfindung für als Mitteldrucksysteme ausgestaltete Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen.The invention relates to a fuel distributor, in particular a fuel distributor strip for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines. In particular, the invention is suitable for fuel injection systems designed as medium-pressure systems.
Bei Brennstoffverteilerrails für direkteinspritzende Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen, die unter hohem Druck arbeiten und für Kraftfahrzeuge dienen, kann Stahl oder Aluminium als Konstruktionswerkstoff eingesetzt werden. Bei Brennstoffverteilerrails für Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen mit Saugrohreinspritzung können hingegen dünnwandige Stahlrohre, Kunststoffrohre oder gegebenenfalls auch Aluminiumrohre zum Einsatz kommen. Während Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen für Hochdruckanwendungen insbesondere bei etwa 20 MPa (200 bar) arbeiten, sind die kostengünstigen Brennstoffeinspritzanlagen für Niederdruckanwendungen in der Regel bei lediglich 0,3 MPa bis 0,5 MPa beziehungsweise 3 bar bis 5 bar einsetzbar.Fuel direct injection fuel rail direct injection fuel injection systems, which operate under high pressure and are used for motor vehicles, may use steel or aluminum as the construction material. In fuel distribution rails for fuel injection systems with intake manifold injection, however, thin-walled steel pipes, plastic pipes or optionally also aluminum pipes can be used. While high pressure fuel injection systems operate at about 20 MPa (200 bar) in particular, the low cost fuel injection systems for low pressure applications typically operate at only 0.3 MPa to 0.5 MPa or 3 to 5 bar.
Bei einem Brennstoffverteilerrail aus Stahl ist es denkbar, dass ein Hochdruckanschluss durch einen Lötprozess an dem Hauptrohr aus Stahl befestigt wird. Verfahrenstechnisch ist dies bei einem Kunststoffrohr nicht möglich. Bei einem Kunststoffrohr kann allerdings durch einen geeigneten Schweißprozess eine Verbindung hergestellt werden.In a steel fuel rail, it is conceivable that a high pressure port may be attached to the steel main pipe by a brazing process. Technically, this is not possible with a plastic pipe. In a plastic pipe, however, can be made by a suitable welding process, a connection.
Aus der
Der erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffverteiler mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, dass eine für einen Mitteldruck geeignete Verbindung, insbesondere für einen Anschluss oder Verschluss, mit vergleichsweise niedrigen Herstellungskosten geschaffen werden kann.The fuel distributor according to the invention with the features of
In vorteilhafter Weise ist das Gehäuseteil aus Kunststoff, insbesondere als Kunststoffspritzling, ausgebildet. Hierdurch ist eine kostengünstige Herstellung möglich.Advantageously, the housing part is made of plastic, in particular as a plastic injection molded part. As a result, a cost-effective production is possible.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Ringnut zwischen dem Außengewinde des Schraubelements und einem dem Brennstoffraum zugewandten Ende des Schraubelements an dem Schraubelement angeordnet ist. Hierbei ist es vorteilhaft, dass der Dichtring dem Außengewinde des Schraubelements voreilt. Somit kann eine Ausgestaltung realisiert werden, bei der der in der Ringnut angeordnete Dichtring beim Einschrauben des Schraubelements dem Außengewinde voreilt. Spezielle Vorteile ergeben sich hierbei bei einem selbstfurchenden Einschrauben. Der Dichtring dichtet den Bereich des Außengewindes des Schraubelements bezüglich des Brennstoffraums ab. Späne und andere Verunreinigungen im Bereich des Außengewindes können somit nicht weiter nach innen, das heißt in den Brennstoffraum, gelangen. Außerdem können diese Späne und gegebenenfalls andere Verunreinigungen auch nicht nach außen gelangen. Somit bleiben im Bereich des Außengewindes bestehende Verunreinigungen eingeschlossen. Beeinträchtigungen der Funktionsfähigkeit der Brennstoffeinspritzanlage im Betrieb werden hierdurch von vornherein vermieden.Furthermore, it is advantageous for the annular groove to be arranged between the external thread of the screw element and an end of the screw element facing the fuel chamber on the screw element. It is advantageous that the sealing ring leads the external thread of the screw. Thus, a configuration can be realized in which the sealing ring arranged in the annular groove leads the external thread when the screw element is screwed in. Special advantages result from a self-tapping screwing. The sealing ring seals the region of the external thread of the screw element with respect to the fuel chamber. Chips and other impurities in the area of the external thread can thus not get further inward, that is to say into the fuel space. In addition, these chips and possibly other impurities can not escape to the outside. Thus, existing contaminants remain trapped in the area of the external thread. Impairment of the functionality of the fuel injection system during operation are thereby avoided from the outset.
Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Brennstoffverteilers möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous developments of the fuel distributor specified in
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass das Schraubelement als Anschlusselement mit einem Anschlussstück und einer von dem Anschlussstück in den Brennstoffraum führenden Durchgangsbohrung ausgestaltet ist. Hierdurch kann ein für einen Mitteldruck geeigneter Anschluss realisiert werden. An solch einem Anschluss kann eine Brennstoffleitung montiert werden, um in den Brennstoffraum des Brennstoffverteilers unter einem gewissen Druck stehenden Brennstoff zu führen. Der Anschluss kann hierbei in vorteilhafter Weise durch Schrauben, insbesondere selbstfurchendes Einschrauben, realisiert werden.It is advantageous that the screw element is configured as a connection element with a connection piece and a through hole leading from the connection piece into the fuel space. As a result, a suitable connection for a medium pressure can be realized. At such a port, a fuel line may be mounted to lead into the fuel space of the fuel manifold under a certain pressure fuel. The connection can be realized in an advantageous manner by screws, in particular self-tapping screwing.
Vorteilhaft ist es allerdings auch, dass zumindest ein Schraubelement als Verschluss ausgestaltet ist. Beispielsweise kann der Brennstoffverteiler als länglicher Brennstoffverteiler ausgestaltet sein, wobei an einem Ende ein Anschlusselement und an dem anderen Ende ein Verschluss vorgesehen sind. Hierdurch kann der Brennstoffverteiler gegebenenfalls auch an unterschiedliche Einbauverhältnisse angepasst werden.However, it is also advantageous that at least one screw element is designed as a closure. For example, the fuel distributor can be configured as an elongate fuel distributor, wherein a connection element is provided at one end and a closure at the other end. As a result, the fuel distributor can optionally also be adapted to different installation conditions.
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass das Schraubelement das Außengewinde aufweist und dass an dem Schraubelement die Ringnut ausgestaltet ist, die den Dichtring aufnimmt. Hierbei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass ein Innendurchmesser der Ringnut kleiner ist als ein Gewindeinnendurchmesser des Außengewindes des Schraubelements. Hierdurch ist es möglich, dass der Dichtring beim Einschrauben nicht belastet und damit nicht beschädigt wird. Der Sitz des Dichtrings auf einem kleineren Durchmesser ist zusätzlich vorteilhaft, da hierdurch der hydraulisch wirksame Durchmesser kleiner und damit die auftretenden Kräfte geringer sind.It is advantageous that the screw has the external thread and that the annular groove is formed on the screw, which receives the sealing ring. Here, it is also advantageous that an inner diameter of the annular groove is smaller than a threaded inner diameter of the external thread of the screw. This makes it possible that the sealing ring is not loaded when screwing and thus not damaged. The seat of the sealing ring on a smaller diameter is additionally advantageous, as a result of the hydraulically effective diameter smaller and thus the forces are lower.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, dass das Außengewinde des Schraubelements eine konische Gewindeform mit einem steileren Winkel als eine zylindrische oder konische Form der Ausnehmung des Gehäuseteils aufweist. Durch die konische Gewindeform, die einen steileren Winkel als beispielsweise eine Entformschräge eines Kunststoffspritzlings, der das Gehäuseteil bildet, aufweist, ist der erste Gewindegang geringer in das Kunststoffbauteil eingefurcht als der letzte Gewindegang. Somit entsteht am ersten Gewindegang der Schraube, an dem eine mögliche Sollbruchstelle des vorzugsweise rohrförmigen Gehäuseteils besteht, eine geringere Kerbe mit dem Vorteil einer hohen Festigkeit des Gehäuseteils, insbesondere des rohrförmigen Gehäuseteils, und bei den letzten Gewindegängen tritt durchaus noch eine erkennbare übertragene Last auf. Hierdurch kann das Schraubelement optimal kurz ausgestaltet werden, so dass der Materialaufwand verringert und ein benötigter Bauraum gering sind.Furthermore, it is advantageous that the external thread of the screw has a conical thread form with a steeper angle than a cylindrical or conical shape of the recess of the housing part. Due to the conical thread shape, which has a steeper angle than, for example, a Entformschräge of a plastic injection molding, which forms the housing part, the first thread is formed less in the plastic component than the last thread. Thus arises at the first thread of the screw, which is a possible predetermined breaking point of the preferably tubular housing part, a smaller notch with the advantage of high strength of the housing part, in particular of the tubular housing part, and in the last threads quite a noticeable transmitted load occurs. As a result, the screw can be configured optimally short, so that the cost of materials is reduced and a required space is small.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, dass an dem Gehäuseteil in einer Längsrichtung und/oder Querrichtung zu einer Achse des Schraubelements Längsrippen beziehungsweise Querrippen ausgestaltet sind. Dadurch kann die Stabilität des aus Kunststoff hergestellten Gehäuseteils verbessert werden. Speziell bei einem Kunststoffspritzling ist die Wandstärke begrenzt. Vorteilhaft ist es, dass zumindest im Bereich des Schraubelements eine Länge der Längsrippen beziehungsweise ein Abstand der Querrippen voneinander größer ist als eine in das Gehäuseteil eingeschraubte Gewindelänge des Außengewindes des Schraubelements. Hierdurch kann die Kraft über die Kerbe des ersten Gewindegangs hinaus auf den ungekerbten, höherfesten Bereich des Gehäuseteils übertragen werden.Furthermore, it is advantageous that longitudinal ribs or transverse ribs are configured on the housing part in a longitudinal direction and / or transverse direction to an axis of the screw element. As a result, the stability of the housing part made of plastic can be improved. Especially with a plastic injection molding, the wall thickness is limited. It is advantageous that, at least in the region of the screw element, a length of the longitudinal ribs or a spacing of the transverse ribs from one another is greater than a threaded length of the external thread of the screw element screwed into the housing part. As a result, the force can be transmitted beyond the notch of the first thread on the unnotched, higher-strength region of the housing part.

Der Brennstoffverteiler 1 weist zumindest ein Gehäuseteil 2 auf, das einen Brennstoffraum 3 umschließt. Das Gehäuseteil 2 kann das Gehäuse 2 des Brennstoffverteilers 1 bilden. Das Gehäuse kann allerdings auch durch mehrere Gehäuseteile 2 gebildet sein. Das Gehäuseteil 2 weist eine Ausnehmung 4 auf, an der ein Innengewinde 5 ausgestaltet ist.The
Ferner ist ein Schraubelement 6 vorgesehen, das ein Außengewinde 7 aufweist. Das Schraubelement 6 ist mit seinem Außengewinde 7 in die Ausnehmung 4 mit dem Innengewinde 5 eingeschraubt.Furthermore, a
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Schraubelement 6 ein Anschlussstück 8 und eine von dem Anschlussstück 8 in den Brennstoffraum 3 führende Durchgangsbohrung 9 auf. An dem Anschlussstück 8 können ein Außengewinde 10 und ein Konus 11 ausgestaltet sein. Das Anschlussstück 8 kann hierbei entsprechend einem Hochdruckanschluss ausgebildet sein, um beispielsweise den Anschluss einer Brennstoffleitung zu ermöglichen. Über die Brennstoffleitung kann Brennstoff von einer Pumpe in den Brennstoffraum 3 des Brennstoffverteilers 1 geführt werden.In this exemplary embodiment, the
An dem Schraubelement 6 ist außerdem ein Schraubenteller 12 vorgesehen, der im eingeschraubten Zustand an einer Stirnseite 13 des Gehäuseteils 2 anliegt und das Einschrauben des Schraubelements 6 in die Ausnehmung 4 des Gehäuseteils 2 begrenzt.On the
In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Schraubelement 6 als Anschlusselement 6 ausgestaltet. Das Schraubelement 6 kann allerdings auch als Verschluss ausgestaltet sein. Hierbei entfällt die Durchgangsbohrung 9. Ferner kann dann auch das Anschlussstück 8 entfallen.In this embodiment, the
Der Brennstoffverteiler 1 weist einen Dichtring 14 auf. Der Dichtring 14 bildet zwischen dem Schraubelement 6 und dem Gehäuseteil 2 eine Abdichtung. Hierdurch ist der Brennstoffraum 3 im Bereich des Schraubelements 6 gegenüber der Umgebung abgedichtet. Der Dichtring 14 ist im Ausgangszustand vorzugsweise als O-Ring 14 mit näherungsweise kreisförmigem Profil ausgestaltet. Der Dichtring 14 ist vorzugsweise brennstoffbeständig, insbesondere benzinbeständig, ausgestaltet. Ferner ist der Dichtring 14 tieftemperaturbeständig, vorzugsweise bis -30° C oder auch bei tieferen Temperaturen beständig, ausgestaltet.The
Das Schraubelement 6 weist eine Ringnut 15 auf, die den Dichtring 14 aufnimmt. Ein Innendurchmesser 16 der Ringnut 15 ist hierbei kleiner als ein Gewindeinnendurchmesser 17 des Außengewindes 7 des Schraubelements 6 vorgegeben. Hierdurch wird der Dichtring 14 beim Einschrauben nicht belastet und damit nicht beschädigt. Außerdem wird ein kleinerer hydraulisch wirksamer Durchmesser erzielt und die auftretenden Kräfte sind geringer.The
Die Ringnut 15 ist zwischen dem Außengewinde 7 des Schraubelements 6 und einem dem Brennstoffraum 3 zugewandten Ende 18 des Schraubelements 6 angeordnet. Beim Einschrauben des Schraubelements 6 in die Ausnehmung 4 wird daher zunächst der Dichtring 14 entlang einer Wand der Ausnehmung 4 bewegt. Das Schneiden des Innengewindes 5 der Ausnehmung 4 erfolgt vorzugsweise durch selbstfurchendes und selbstschneidendes Einschrauben des Schraubelements 6. Der Dichtring 14 wird daher entlang einer glatten Wand bewegt, so dass dieser nicht betätigt wird. Nachfolgend schneidet sich das Außengewinde 10 in die Wand der Ausnehmung 4, so dass das Innengewinde 5 der Ausnehmung 4 ausgestaltet wird. Der Dichtring 14 eilt dem Außengewinde 7 des Schraubelements 6 vor.The
Zwischen dem Dichtring 14 und dem Schraubenteller 12 ist somit eine Abdichtung des Bereichs des Außengewindes 7 des Schraubelements 6 einerseits in Bezug auf den Brennstoffraum 3 und andererseits in Bezug auf die Umgebung gewährleistet. Während des selbstfurchenden und selbstschneidenden Einschraubens entstehende Späne oder andere Fremdkörper bleiben somit eingesperrt und können nicht in den Brennstoffraum 3 gelangen.Between the sealing
Speziell bei glasfaserverstärkten Kunststoffen ist ein selbstschneidendes Einschrauben, das durch Schneidkanten des Schraubelements 6 ermöglicht wird, vorteilhaft.Especially with glass fiber reinforced plastics, a self-tapping screwing, which is made possible by cutting edges of the
Um die Dichtheitsprüfung der durch den Dichtring 14 gebildeten Abdichtung zu erleichtern, kann eine Querbohrung 20 vorgesehen sein, die beispielsweise zwischen dem Dichtring 14 und dem Außengewinde 7 des eingeschraubten Schraubelements 6 an dem Gehäuseteil 2 vorgesehen ist.In order to facilitate the tightness test of the seal formed by the sealing
Das Außengewinde 7 des Schraubelements 6 hat vorzugsweise eine konische Gewindeform, die sich in einer Richtung 21 zu dem Brennstoffraum 3 hin verjüngt. Die Ausnehmung 4 des Gehäuseteils 2 kann ebenfalls eine konische Form aufweisen. In beiden Fällen ist die konische Gewindeform des Außengewindes 7 des Schraubelements 6 mit einem steileren Winkel als eine zylindrische oder konische Form der Ausnehmung 4 des Gehäuseteils 2 ausgeführt. Somit ergibt sich am ersten Gewindegang des Schraubelements 6 eine geringere Kerbe mit dem Vorteil einer hohen Festigkeit des Schraubelements 6 sowie des Gehäuseteils 2. Ferner wird auch bei den letzten Gewindegängen durchaus noch eine erkennbare Last übertragen. Hierdurch kann die Schraube optimal kurz ausgeführt werden. Andernfalls würden die ersten Gänge einen Großteil der Last tragen, während die hinteren Gewindegänge fast nichts beitragen würden. Das Schraubelement 6 wäre dann auch unnötig lang.The
Der Vorteil der stärkeren Konizität des Schraubelements 6 in Bezug auf das Gehäuseteil 2 ist somit eine verbesserte Festigkeit des Schraubelements 6 mit einem optimal kurzen Außengewinde 7.The advantage of the greater conicity of the
Durch den Schraubenteller 12, der als Anschlag dient, hat der Dichtring 14 nach der Montage eine definierte Position, insbesondere bezüglich der Querbohrung 20.
