Titel title
Einspritzventil für Brennkraftmaschinen  Injection valve for internal combustion engines
Stand der Technik State of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Einspritzventil für Brennkraftmaschinen nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 . Ein bekanntes, als sog. Mehrloch-Einspritzventil ausgeführtes Brennstoffeinspritzventil für Brennkraftmaschinen (DE 10 2005 036 951 A1 ) weist einen einen hohlzylindrischen Ventilsitzträger abschließenden Ventilsitzkörper auf, der eine mit einer Brennstoffzuführung in Verbindung stehende Ventilkammer begrenzt. In dem Ventilsitzkörper sind ein Ventilsitz in Form einer die Achse des Ventilsitzkör- pers konzentrisch umschließenden Ringfläche sowie eine Mehrzahl von Spritzlöchern ausgebildet. Der Ventilsitz bildet mit einem Schließkörper eines im Ventilsitzträger axial verschiebbar angeordneten Ventilglieds einen die Spritzlöcher abschließenden Dichtsitz. Das Ventilglied ist von einer den Schließkopf auf den Ventilsitz aufpressenden Ventilschließfeder beaufschlagt. Mittels eines auf das Ventilglied wirkenden elektromagnetischen Aktors kann der Schließkopf gegen die Rückstellkraft der Ventilschließfeder mehr oder weniger weit vom Ventilsitz abgehoben werden. Jedes der Mehrzahl der Spritzlöcher weist einen stromauf- wärtigen, querschnittskleinen Locheintrittsabschnitt mit einer Locheintrittsöffnung und einen stromabwärtigen, querschnittsgrößeren Lochaustrittsabschnitt mit ei- ner Lochaustrittsöffnung auf. Die Locheintrittsöffnungen aller Spritzlöcher liegen innerhalb der den Ventilsitz bildenden Ringfläche am Ventilkörper und die Lochaustrittsöffnungen aller Spritzlöcher in der von der Ventilkammer abgekehrten, konvexen äußeren Körperwand des Ventilsitzkörpers. The invention relates to an injection valve for internal combustion engines according to the preamble of claim 1. A known fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines (DE 10 2005 036 951 A1) designed as a so-called multi-hole injection valve has a valve seat body which terminates a hollow-cylindrical valve seat carrier and delimits a valve chamber connected to a fuel supply. In the valve seat body, a valve seat in the form of an annular surface concentrically surrounding the axis of the valve seat body and a plurality of injection holes are formed. The valve seat forms with a closing body of a valve seat carrier axially displaceably arranged valve member a final injection ports sealing seat. The valve member is acted upon by a closing head on the valve seat aufpressenden valve closing spring. By means of an electromagnetic actuator acting on the valve member, the closing head can be lifted more or less far from the valve seat against the restoring force of the valve closing spring. Each of the plurality of spray holes has an upstream, small cross-section hole inlet portion with a hole inlet opening and a downstream, larger cross-sectional hole exit portion with a hole outlet opening. The hole inlet openings of all injection holes lie within the valve seat forming annular surface on the valve body and the hole outlet openings of all the injection holes in the side facing away from the valve chamber, convex outer body wall of the valve seat body.
Bei einem solchen Einspritzventil mit im Querschnitt gestuften Spritzlöchern im Ventilsitzkörper, die in stromabwärtiger Richtung eine Vergrößerung ihres Loch- querschnitts besitzen, ist die Neigung zur Belagbildung aus verbranntem Kraftstoff und Verkokung und damit die Gefahr des Zusetzen des freien Querschnitts der Spritzlöcher reduziert. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die am Ende der Einspritzung aus den Spritzlöchern austretende Strömung aufgrund ihrer Trägheit im Nachlauf ein Unterdruckgebiet erzeugt, das den während der Einspritzung an der Lochwand der Lochaustrittsabschnitte aufgebauten Kraftstofffilm in Richtung Austrittskante der Lochaustrittsöffnungen zieht. Hier werden einerseits die anhaftenden Kraftstofflamellen durch die motorische Verbrennung in Ablagerungen umgewandelt und andererseits nichtanhaftende Kraftstofflamellen in den Brenn- räum eingetragen. Letztere nehmen durch die schlechte Aufbereitungsgüte nur ungenügend an der Verbrennung teil, was zu einem Anstieg der Russemission führt. In such an injection valve with stepped spray holes in the valve seat body, which in the downstream direction an enlargement of their perforated own cross-section, the tendency to deposit formation from burnt fuel and coking and thus reduces the risk of clogging the free cross section of the injection holes. However, it has been found that the flow exiting the spray holes at the end of the injection due to their inertia in the wake generates a negative pressure area that pulls the fuel film built up during the injection on the hole wall of the hole outlet sections in the direction of the exit edge of the hole outlet openings. Here, on the one hand, the adhering fuel lamellae are converted into deposits by the engine combustion and, on the other hand, non-adhering fuel lamellae are introduced into the combustion chamber. The latter, due to the poor quality of the treatment, only insufficiently participate in the combustion, which leads to an increase in soot emission.
Offenbarung der Erfindung Disclosure of the invention
Das erfindungsgemäße Einspritzventil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat den Vorteil, dass durch die alle Lochaustrittsabschnitte der Spritzlöcher verbindenden Nut von außen Luft in die Lochaustrittsabschnitte einströmen kann, so dass eine ausreichende Belüftung gegeben ist und damit die Druckverhältnisse in den Lochaustrittsabschnitten positiv verändert werden. In der Ventilschließphase wird in den Lochaustrittsabschnitten jetzt kein Unterdruck mehr durch die austretende Nachlaufströmung erzeugt, der den während der Einspritzphase an den Wandflächen der Lochaustrittsabschnitte aufgebauten Kraftstofffilm in Richtung Lochaustrittsöffnungen zieht. Das Austreten des Kraftstofffilms aus den Lochaustrittsöffnungen wird unterbunden, und die durch die motorische Verbrennung entstehenden Ablagerungen treten nicht an den zerstäubungskritischen Lochaustrittsöffnungen, sondern im Innern der Lochaustrittsabschnitte auf und sind damit nicht mehr abgasrelevant. Damit kann die Rußemmission der Brennkraftmaschine über deren Lebensdauer hinweg weitgehend konstant gehalten und der mit zunehmender Lebensdauer bisher einhergehender Anstieg der Rußemmission im Abgas vermieden werden. The injection valve according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that air can flow from the outside into the hole outlet sections through the groove connecting all hole exit sections of the injection holes, so that a sufficient ventilation is provided and thus the pressure conditions in the hole exit sections are positively changed. In the valve closing phase, no negative pressure is now generated in the hole outlet sections by the emerging wake flow, which pulls the fuel film built up during the injection phase on the wall surfaces of the hole outlet sections in the direction of hole outlet openings. The escape of the fuel film from the hole outlet openings is suppressed, and the deposits resulting from the engine combustion do not occur at the sputtering-critical hole outlet openings, but in the interior of the hole outlet sections and are therefore no longer relevant to exhaust gas. Thus, the soot emission of the internal combustion engine can be kept largely constant over its lifetime and avoided with increasing life so far accompanying increase in soot emissions in the exhaust gas.
Durch die in den weiten Ansprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Verbesserungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Ein- spritzventils möglich. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Nutbreite kleiner als der Durchmesser der Lochaustrittsöffnungen. Dadurch wird in den Lochaustrittsabschnitten eine Verwirbelung der von außen einströmenden Luft erzielt, was eine sehr gute Belüftung der Lochaustrittsabschnitte gewährleistet. The measures listed in the broad claims advantageous refinements and improvements of the claim 1 injection valve are possible. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the groove width is smaller than the diameter of the hole outlet openings. As a result, a turbulence of the air flowing in from the outside is achieved in the hole outlet sections, which ensures very good ventilation of the hole outlet sections.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die Lochaustrittsöffnungen auf einem Teilerkreis angeordnet und die die Lochaustrittsöffnungen verbindende Nut kreisringförmig ausgeführt. According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the hole outlet openings are arranged on a divider circle and connecting the hole outlet openings groove formed annular.
