Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having at least one injector, which includes a high-pressure accumulator integrated in the injector body, an injection nozzle which comprises an axially displaceable nozzle needle, which is surrounded by a nozzle chamber, a high-pressure accumulator with the injection nozzle connecting high-pressure bore and a parallel to the high-pressure bore resonator bore encompassed, which is in communication with the injection nozzle and opens via a resonator in the high-pressure accumulator.
  • injectors of this type are used in modular common rail systems, which are characterized in that a part of the existing storage volume in the system is present in the injector itself.
  • Modular common-rail systems are used in particularly large engines, in which the individual injectors may be mounted at a considerable distance from each other.
  • the sole use of a common rail for all injectors is not useful in such engines, as it would come because of the long lines during the injection to a massive drop in injection pressure, so that the injection rate would break noticeably with longer injection duration.
  • it is therefore intended to arrange a high-pressure accumulator inside each injector.
  • Such a design is referred to as a modular design, since each individual injector has its own high-pressure accumulator and can thus be used as an independent module.
  • a high-pressure accumulator is hereby not to be understood as an ordinary line, but rather to an nem high-pressure accumulator to a pressure-resistant vessel with an inlet and outlet, whose diameter is significantly increased compared to the high pressure lines, so that from the high-pressure accumulator a certain amount of injection can be delivered without causing an immediate pressure drop.
  • a possibility of reducing pressure pulsations can be taken from WO 2007/143768 A1, wherein a resonator line which is connected in parallel to the high-pressure line between injection nozzle and high-pressure accumulator is provided which has a resonator throttle on the high-pressure accumulator side.
  • the resonator throttle is preferably arranged at the inlet of the resonator line into the high-pressure accumulator.
  • the known from WO 2007/143768 AI training thus provides that the high pressure line is divided into two independent areas, one of which with. is equipped with a throttle, so that the pressure vibrations, which arise at the nozzle seat, are reflected differently in both areas and almost cancel the reflected vibrations due to their phase offset.
  • said resonator system is able to accelerate the decay of the pressure oscillations, the first pressure peak which occurs immediately upon closing of the injection nozzle can not be lowered thereby.
  • the invention therefore aims to lower as effectively as possible the first pressure peak occurring directly upon closing of the injection nozzle.
  • the invention essentially provides, proceeding from a device of the type initially mentioned, that the high-pressure bore comprises a first section adjoining the high-pressure accumulator and a second section opening into the injector, wherein the first section has a larger flow cross-section than the second section.
  • first and second portions directly adjoin one another.
  • the transition from the larger flow cross section of the first section to the smaller flow cross section of the second section can take place here continuously or stepwise.
  • the edge formed at the transition is preferably rounded off.
  • both the first and the second section has a circular flow cross-section.
  • the first section of the high-pressure bore formed with a larger flow cross-section is formed as long as possible and thus brought as close as possible to the injection nozzle.
  • a preferred development in this context provides that the length of the first section corresponds to at least twice, preferably at least three times, the length of the second section.
  • An optimization of the effect achieved by the construction according to the invention can also be achieved by selecting the flow cross section of the first section as large as possible in relation to the flow cross section of the second section.
  • a preferred embodiment provides that the flow cross section of the first section corresponds to at least 1.5 times, preferably at least twice, preferably at least three times, more preferably at least four times, the flow cross section of the second section.
  • the embodiment according to the invention is particularly advantageous for injectors, in which the nozzle needle can be acted upon in the axial direction by the pressure prevailing in a control chamber which can be supplied with fuel under pressure, the control chamber being provided with an inlet throttle Supply channel and an outlet throttle having flow channel is in communication and at least one inlet or outlet channel opening or closing control valve is provided, with which the pressure in the control chamber is controlled, that the inlet throttle and the outlet throttle are formed in a throttle plate, that Control valve is formed in a valve plate and that the high pressure bore and the resonator bore pass through the valve plate and the throttle plate.
  • the injector is usually designed such that an injector and / or holding body accommodating the high-pressure accumulator, the valve plate, the throttle plate and the injection nozzle are held together by a nozzle retaining nut.
  • the high-pressure bore and the resonator bore extend through the holding body, the valve plate and the throttle plate and thereby connect the high-pressure accumulator with the injection nozzle.
  • the section of the high-pressure bore passing through the throttle plate and the valve plate it is particularly advantageous in the context of the invention for the section of the high-pressure bore passing through the throttle plate and the valve plate to form the second section thereof or a part of the second section.
  • the flow cross-section is limited by design, since the resonator bore and the high-pressure bore on the valve assembly and the drain and possibly inlet throttle must be passed.
  • the first section of the high-pressure bore is preferably formed in a holding body. det, which is arranged between the high-pressure accumulator and the valve plate.
  • the transition from the first section into the second section of the high-pressure bore can be arranged, for example, at the transition of the holding body to the valve plate.
  • a preferred development provides that the transition from the first section to the second section of the high-pressure bore is arranged in the holding body. At the transition from the holding body in the valve plate in this case, only the smaller cross section of the second section is sealed.
  • the resonator throttle is arranged at the inlet of the resonator bore into the high-pressure accumulator.
  • the length of the resonator bore is preferably matched to the length of the high-pressure bore so that the pressure oscillations induced by the injector are mutually weakened or extinguished.
  • the length of the resonator bore between the injection nozzle and the resonator throttle and the length of the high-pressure line between the injection nozzle and the inlet of the high-pressure bore into the pressure accumulator are each preferably an integer multiple of the wavelength of the pressure oscillation induced by the injection nozzle.
  • the length of the resonator bore between the nozzle front chamber and the resonator throttle preferably corresponds substantially to the length of the high-pressure line between the nozzle front chamber and the inlet of the high-pressure bore into the pressure accumulator.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a cross section of an injector equipped with a high-pressure accumulator according to the prior art
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the profile of the flow cross-section of the high-pressure line between high-pressure accumulator and injection nozzle.

  • the solenoid valve 13 is closed so that high-pressure fuel from the high-pressure accumulator 6 via the high-pressure line 8, the cross-connection 9 and the inlet throttle 10 flows into the control chamber 11 of the injection nozzle 2, the outflow from the control chamber 11 via the outlet throttle 12 but at the valve seat of the solenoid valve 13 is blocked.
  • the voltage applied in the control chamber 11 system pressure presses together with the force of the nozzle spring 14, the nozzle needle 15 in the nozzle needle seat 16, so that the injection holes 17 are closed. If the solenoid valve 13 is actuated, it releases the flow through the solenoid valve seat, and fuel flows from the control chamber 11 through the outlet throttle 12, the solenoid valve armature chamber and the low-pressure bore 18 back into the fuel tank, not shown.
