- the fuel is sprayed through injection holes and precursor chambers in the combustion chamber.
- the preliminary stage chamber ends flush with the combustion chamber side end face of the housing of the injection valve. This end face is also referred to as Injektorkuppe.
- Each injection leads to a wetting of the region of the front surface near the preamplifier and to increased particle emission.
- fuel residues polymerize and form a porous layer by incorporating the soot particles formed in the combustion chamber. This porous layer acts as a "sponge" for the fuel during subsequent injection processes and leads to evaporation and particle generation in the negative pressure chase following the compression.
- a fuel injection valve in particular a high-pressure injection valve for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, is already known.
- the injector includes, inter alia, a housing having a combustion chamber-side housing end face, an actuator, an actuatable by the actuator valve closing body and at least one outlet opening in the housing end face for the fuel, the valve closing body depending on the position, the outlet opening closes or releases.
- a ring on the combustion chamber side housing end face is formed on the combustion chamber side, which extends the outlet opening beyond the housing end face.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Brennstoffeinspritzventil. Insbesondere wird ein Hochdruckeinspritzventil zum direkten Einspritzen von Brennstoff in einen Brennraum gezeigt.The present invention relates to a fuel injection valve. In particular, a high pressure injector is shown for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber.
Bei vorbekannten Hochdruckeinspritzventilen, insbesondere mit Mehrlochaufbereitung, wird der Kraftstoff durch Spritzlöcher und Vorstufenkammern in den Brennraum abgespritzt. Die Vorstufenkammer endet dabei brennraumseitig bündig mit der brennraumzugewandten Stirnfläche des Gehäuses des Einspritzventils. Diese Stirnfläche wird auch als Injektorkuppe bezeichnet. Jede Einspritzung führt zu einer Benetzung des vorstufennahen Bereichs der Stirnfläche und zur erhöhten Partikelemission. Dabei polymerisieren Kraftstoffreste und bilden unter Einbindung der im Brennraum gebildeten Rußpartikel eine poröse Schicht. Diese poröse Schicht wirkt bei nachfolgenden Einspritzvorgängen wie ein "Schwamm" für den Kraftstoff und führt in der der Kompression nachfolgenden Unterdruckfase zur Ausdampfung und Partikelgenerierung.In previously known high-pressure injection valves, in particular with multi-hole preparation, the fuel is sprayed through injection holes and precursor chambers in the combustion chamber. In this case, the preliminary stage chamber ends flush with the combustion chamber side end face of the housing of the injection valve. This end face is also referred to as Injektorkuppe. Each injection leads to a wetting of the region of the front surface near the preamplifier and to increased particle emission. In this case, fuel residues polymerize and form a porous layer by incorporating the soot particles formed in the combustion chamber. This porous layer acts as a "sponge" for the fuel during subsequent injection processes and leads to evaporation and particle generation in the negative pressure chase following the compression.
Aus der
Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sieht einen Ring auf der Injektorkuppe, brennraumseitig der Vorstufenkammer vor. Dadurch wird die mit Kraftstoff benetzte Fläche drastisch reduziert und durch eine scharfkantige Ausführung des Ringes wird die im Spritzloch bzw. in der Vorstufenkammer verbleibende Kraftstofflamelle "abgeschnitten" und beim Schließvorgang der Austrittsöffnung wieder in das Brennstoffeinspritzventil zurückgezogen. Dadurch reduziert sich die verbleibende Masse. Die Ablagerungen auf der Ringstirnfläche des Ringes können leicht durch die Brennraumströmung abgeblasen werden. Der aufgesetzte Ring weist eine relativ geringe Masse auf und kann somit stark aufgeheizt werden, sodass es zu einer schnellen Ausdampfung verbleibender Kraftstoffreste in den Ablagerungen kommt, wodurch wiederum die Partikelbildung drastisch reduziert wird. All diese Vorteile werden erreicht durch das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil. Insbesondere handelt es sich hierbei um ein Hochdruckeinspritzventil zum direkten Einspritzen von Brennstoff in einen Brennraum. Das Einspritzventil umfasst (i) ein Gehäuse mit einer brennraumseitigen Gehäusestirnfläche, (ii) einen Aktor (iii), einen von dem Aktor betätigbaren Ventilschließkörper, und (iv) zumindest eine Austrittsöffnung in der Gehäusestirnfläche für den Brennstoff. Mittels des Aktors wird der Ventilschließkörper so bewegt, dass er wahlweise die Austrittsöffnung verschließt oder freigibt. Brennraumseitig um die Austrittsöffnung herum ist erfindungsgemäß ein Ring auf der brennraumseitigen Gehäusestirnfläche ausgebildet. Insbesondere ist dieser Ring integraler Bestandteil des Gehäuses. Der Ring kann auch als Wulst, Aufwurf oder Bund bezeichnet werden. Der Ring bzw. die Stirnfläche des Ringes stellt eine sehr kleine Fläche zur Ablagerung von Brennstoff dar, sodass eingangs erwähnte Probleme weitgehend vermieden werden.The fuel injection valve according to the invention with the features of claim 1 provides a ring on the injector, combustion chamber side of the precursor chamber before. As a result, the wetted surface with fuel is drastically reduced and by a sharp-edged design of the ring in the injection hole or in the pre-stage chamber remaining fuel lamella "cut" and the closing process of the outlet opening back into the Retracted fuel injector. This reduces the remaining mass. The deposits on the annular face of the ring can be easily blown off by the combustion chamber flow. The patch ring has a relatively low mass and thus can be strongly heated, so it comes to a rapid evaporation of remaining fuel residues in the deposits, which in turn reduces the formation of particles drastically. All these advantages are achieved by the fuel injection valve according to the invention. In particular, this is a high-pressure injection valve for the direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber. The injection valve comprises (i) a housing having a combustion chamber-side housing end face, (ii) an actuator (iii), a valve-closing body actuable by the actuator, and (iv) at least one outlet opening in the housing end face for the fuel. By means of the actuator, the valve closing body is moved so that it optionally closes or releases the outlet opening. On the combustion chamber side around the outlet opening according to the invention, a ring is formed on the combustion chamber side housing end face. In particular, this ring is an integral part of the housing. The ring can also be referred to as a bead, Aufwurf or collar. The ring or the end face of the ring represents a very small area for deposition of fuel, so that the initially mentioned problems are largely avoided.
Die Unteransprüche zeigen bevorzugte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The dependent claims show preferred developments of the invention.
Die brennraumseitige bzw. die dem Brennraum zugewandte Gehäusestirnfläche, in der die Austrittsöffnung ausgebildet ist, ist insbesondere kuppelförmig gestaltet. Die Kuppelform erstreckt sich dabei in Richtung Brennraum. Vorteil dieser kuppelförmigen Ausgestaltung ist, dass auf der Kuppelform verteilt mehrere Austrittsöffnungen ausgebildet werden können. Der Ventilschließkörper ist insbesondere so gestaltet, dass er gleichzeitig je nach Stellung alle Austrittsöffnungen verschließt oder alle Austrittsöffnungen freigibt. Besonders bevorzugt ist vorgesehen, dass an jeder der Austrittsöffnungen ein erfindungsgemäßer Ring angeordnet ist.The combustion chamber side or the combustion chamber facing housing end face in which the outlet opening is formed, in particular dome-shaped. The dome shape extends in the direction of the combustion chamber. Advantage of this dome-shaped configuration is that distributed on the dome shape more outlet openings can be formed. The valve closing body is in particular designed so that it simultaneously closes all outlet openings depending on the position or releases all outlet openings. It is particularly preferably provided that a ring according to the invention is arranged at each of the outlet openings.
In vorteilhafter Ausbildung setzt sich die Austrittsöffnung aus einem Spritzloch mit einem ersten Durchmesser und einer sich brennraumseitig an das Spritzloch anschließenden Vorstufenkammer mit einem zweiten Durchmesser zusammen.In an advantageous embodiment, the outlet opening is composed of a spray hole with a first diameter and a combustion chamber side adjoining the injection hole precursor chamber with a second diameter.
Der zweite Durchmesser ist dabei größer als der erste Durchmesser. Der Brennstoff wird also durch das Spritzloch in die Vorstufenkammer eingespritzt. Aus dieser Vorstufenkammer geht der Brennstoff weiter in die Brennkammer der Brennkraftmaschine. Eben bei der Ausbildung der Austrittsöffnung mit einem Spritzloch und einer nachgeschalteten Vorstufenkammer gibt es bei vorbekannten Anordnungen die Problematik mit der Ablagerung von Brennstoff an der brennraumzugewandten Gehäusestirnfläche. Deshalb wird hier in vorteilhafter Weise der erfindungsgemäße Ring brennraumseitig der Vorstufenkammer verwendet.The second diameter is larger than the first diameter. The fuel is thus injected through the injection hole in the pre-stage chamber. From this precursor chamber, the fuel continues into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. Just in the formation of the outlet opening with a spray hole and a downstream pre-stage chamber there are in prior art arrangements, the problem with the deposition of fuel on the combustion chamber facing housing end face. Therefore, the ring according to the invention is advantageously used here combustion chamber side of the precursor chamber.
Für den Innendurchmesser des Ringes gibt es zwei bevorzugte Varianten. Zum einen kann der Innendurchmesser des Rings gleich dem zweiten Durchmesser sein. In diesem Fall stellt der Ring eine Verlängerung der Vorstufenkammer ohne Absätze dar.For the inner diameter of the ring, there are two preferred variants. First, the inner diameter of the ring may be equal to the second diameter. In this case, the ring represents an extension of the pre-stage chamber without paragraphs.
Alternativ dazu ist es möglich, dass der Innendurchmesser des Rings größer ist als der zweite Durchmesser. In diesem Fall gibt es eine Stufe oder einen Absatz am Übergang von der Vorstufenkammer zum Innenraum des Ringes.Alternatively, it is possible that the inner diameter of the ring is larger than the second diameter. In this case, there is a step or step at the transition from the precursor chamber to the interior of the ring.
Der Ring weist eine brennraumseitige bzw. eine dem Brennraum zugewandte Ringstirnfläche auf. Auf dieser Ringstirnfläche kommt es zur Ablagerung vom Brennstoff. Um diese Ablagerung weitestgehend zu vermeiden, wird die Wandstärke des Rings möglichst klein gewählt. Darüber hinaus ist es vorteilhaft für das Wegblasen der Ablagerungen, wenn die Ringstirnfläche geneigt ist. Wenn die brennraumzugewandte Gehäusestirnfläche senkrecht zur Längsachse des Brennstoffeinspritzventils steht, kann die Neigung der Ringstirnfläche direkt in Bezug auf die Gehäusestirnfläche definiert werden. In bevorzugter Ausbildung ist jedoch vorgesehen, dass die Gehäusestirnfläche kuppelförmig ausgebildet ist. Bei der kuppelförmigen Ausbildung gibt es eine Tangentenfläche der Gehäusestirnfläche. Diese Tangentenfläche wird gebildet durch die Tangentenschar an der kuppelförmigen Gehäusestirnfläche. Die Neigung der Ringstirnfläche kann dementsprechend in Bezug zur Tangentenfläche definiert werden.The ring has a combustion chamber-side or an annular end face facing the combustion chamber. On this ring end face it comes to the deposition of the fuel. To avoid this deposition as far as possible, the wall thickness of the ring is chosen as small as possible. In addition, it is advantageous for the blowing away of the deposits when the annular end face is inclined. When the combustion chamber facing housing end face is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fuel injection valve, the inclination of the annular end face can be defined directly with respect to the housing end face. In a preferred embodiment, however, it is provided that the housing end face is dome-shaped. In the dome-shaped design, there is a tangent surface of the housing end face. This tangent surface is formed by the Tangentenschar at the dome-shaped housing end face. The inclination of the annular end face can accordingly be defined in relation to the tangent surface.
Es ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die gesamte Ringfläche gegenüber der Gehäusestirnfläche oder der Tangentenfläche eine Neigung aufweist. Der Neigungswinkel beträgt vorzugsweise zumindest 5 °, besonders vorzugsweise zumindest 10 °. Insbesondere ist die Ringstirnfläche nach außen geneigt. Dies bedeutet, dass der Ring innen höher ist als außen.It is preferably provided that the entire annular surface with respect to the housing end face or the tangent surface has a slope. Of the Tilt angle is preferably at least 5 °, more preferably at least 10 °. In particular, the annular end face is inclined outwards. This means that the ring is higher inside than outside.
Alternativ dazu ist es möglich, die Ringstirnfläche im Querschnitt betrachtet satteldachförmig auszugestalten. In diesem Fall unterteilt sich die Ringstirnfläche in zwei ringförmige Teilflächen die zu einander abgewinkelt sind. Auch hier ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, die Neigungswinkel der einzelnen Teilflächen auf zumindest 5 °, vorzugsweise auf zumindest 10 ° zu setzen.Alternatively, it is possible to design the annular end face in cross-section saddle roof shape. In this case, the annular end face is divided into two annular partial surfaces which are angled to each other. Again, it is preferably provided to set the inclination angle of the individual partial surfaces to at least 5 °, preferably to at least 10 °.
Des Weiteren wird die Wandstärke des Rings möglichst gering gehalten, um Ablagerungen zu vermeiden. Insbesondere sollte die Wandstärke zwischen 0,1 mm und 0,3 mm liegen.Furthermore, the wall thickness of the ring is kept as low as possible in order to avoid deposits. In particular, the wall thickness should be between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm.
Eine ausreichende Höhe des Rings muss sicherstellen, dass sich der Brennstoff auf der Ringstirnfläche ablagert jedoch nicht auf der umliegenden Gehäusestirnfläche. Deshalb sollte der Ring um 0,1 mm bis 0,5 mm über die Gehäusestirnfläche überstehen.A sufficient height of the ring must ensure that the fuel settles on the ring end face but not on the surrounding housing end face. Therefore, the ring should protrude 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm beyond the housing face.
