Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuel injector and more particularly to a nozzle motion control feature arranged in said injector.
  • Fuel injector of the prior art are disclosed in EP0844383 and in EP0971118 and, a known embodiment is also partially presented on figures 1 and 2 .
  • This fuel injector 10 extends along a main axis A and it is provided with a nozzle assembly 12 comprising a hydraulically controlled valve needle 14 slidably arranged in a nozzle body 16.
  • the valve needle 14 axially A displaces under the influence of fuel pressure differences inducing forces on upstream faces 18, 20, and downstream faces 22, 24, of the needle 14.
  • the injector 10 is provided with a control valve, not shown, closing or opening an outlet of a control chamber 26 wherein pressure alternatively builds-up and down, the upper part of the valve needle 14 protruding in said control chamber 26 and also, with a throttle orifice 28 through which the pressurized fuel flows toward injection holes 30, said throttle 28 generating a pressure drop.
  • the throttle 28 is an annular clearance between the inner face 32 of the nozzle body 16 and the outer edge 34 of a collar 36, also known as "boost flange” or “NMC” (nozzle motion control), radially extending from the valve needle 14.
  • the pressure of the fuel flowing in the injectors 10 varies in a large range extending from few bars to several thousands of bars and, consequently the nozzle body 16 expends slightly reducing or increasing the throttle 28 and, affecting the operating performances of the injector 10.
  • anozzle body of a fuel injector having an inner space extending along a main axis and adapted to receive a slidably arranged valve needle.
  • the inner space is divided in an upstream cylindrical chamber, wherein, in use, pressurized fuel flows-in and, a downstream cylindrical chamber provided with injection holes through which, in use, pressurized fuel is sprayed out of the injector.
  • the nozzle body is further provided with an inter-chambers portion arranged between the upstream and the downstream chambers.
  • the inter-chambers portion has a cylindrical tubular wall axially protruding in the upstream chamber and being adapted to cooperate, in use, with the valve needle to define a throttle inducing a fuel pressure drop.
  • the pressurized fuel induces opposed radial forces on the outer and inner cylindrical faces of the tubular wall so that advantageously, the throttle dimensions remains constant.
  • the tubular wall is integral to the body.
  • the nozzle body comprises a tubular sleeve fixedly arranged in the inter-chambers portion and axially protruding in the upstream chamber thus creating the cylindrical tubular wall.
  • the invention extends also to a nozzle assembly comprising a nozzle body, as described above and in which is arranged a needle valve extending through the tubular wall and slidably moveable between a closed position and a fully open position.
  • the needle is provided with a collar radially extending from the axial stem of the needle, said collar having an upstream face oriented toward the upstream chamber and a downstream face oriented toward the downstream chamber.
  • the collar is arranged to cooperate with the inner cylindrical face of said tubular wall to define a throttle that, in use, induces a fuel pressure drop between the upstream chamber and the downstream chamber.
  • the outer edge of the collar and the inner cylindrical face of the tubular wall define axial guiding means of the valve needle, the collar, respectively the inner cylindrical face, being provided with slots or holes intersecting with its edge, respectively said face, and providing throttle means.
  • the invention further extends to a fuel injector provided with a nozzle assembly as described above.
  • a nozzle assembly 12 wherein a nozzle body 16 extends along a main axis A and is provided with an internal cylindrical bore defining inner volume V in which is slidably arranged a valve needle 14.
  • the inner volume V of the nozzle body 16 comprises an upstream chamber 38, represented on the upper side of the figure, having an upstream diameter D38 and, a downstream chamber 40, on the lower side of the figure, having a downstream diameter D40 smaller than the upstream diameter D38.
  • an inter-chambers portion 42 that has a diameter D42 intermediate between the upstream D38 and the downstream D40 diameters.
  • the inter-chambers portion 42 could have same or smaller diameter as the downstream chamber 40.
  • the inter-chambers portion 42 has a cylindrical peripheral wall 44 which bottom part is integral to the nozzle body 16 and which upper part upwardly protrudes in the upstream chamber 38 such that the protruding part 46 has concentric cylindrical inner 48 and outer faces 50.
  • the upstream chamber 38 is, as represented on figure 3 , provided at its most bottom part with an annular peripheral recess 52, or annular groove, outwardly surrounding said protruding part 46.
  • valve needle 14 As part of the nozzle assembly 12 is also represented a valve needle 14 axially A extending through-out the inner volume V of the nozzle body 16, from the upstream chamber 38 to the downstream chamber 40.
  • the valve needle 14, slidably guided between upper and lower guides similar to the guides represented on figure 1 comprises an axially main elongated shaft 54 of relatively small diameter d54 provided in an intermediate portion with a collar 36.
  • intermediate is to be understood as indicating any needle portion that is between the upper and lower extremities of the needle.
  • the collar 36 radially extends from said main shaft 54 to an outer edge 34 having an edge diameter d34 slightly smaller than the diameter of the inter-chambers portion D42.
  • valve needle 14 is axially A guided and, in use, it displaces between two extreme positions and the collar 36 slides inside the inter-chambers portion 42, the amplitude of the displacements being such that the collar 36 stays in the inter-chambers portion 42.
  • the collar 36 represented to illustrate this invention has upstream 20 and downstream faces 22 symmetrically slopped and joining on a circular sharp edge 34.
  • the term “sharp” is here to be understood as any joining shape smaller than 0.2 mm between upstream to downstream faces.
  • the collar 36 can take multiple other alternative shapes such as an upstream and downstream flat faces axially A distant from each other and joined by a peripheral vertical face.
  • the upstream downstream faces may intersect the peripheral face along a "sharp" edge with similar definition as above.
  • the collar 36 can be further provided with annular grooves arranged on said intermediate face.
  • pressurized fuel enters and fills the upstream chamber 38, the annular recess 52, the inter-chambers portion 42, flows through the throttle 28 than in the downstream chamber 40 where from it exits via injection holes 30.
  • the pressurized fuel induces on the protruding part 46 of the peripheral wall 44 balanced radial forces preventing said protruding part 46 to distort under pressure variation. More specifically the pressure in the recess 52 generates on the outer face 50 of the protruding wall 46 radially inwardly oriented forces and, the pressure in the inter-chambers portion 42 generates on the inner face 48 of the protruding wall 46 radially outwardly oriented forces opposed in direction to the previously mentioned forces. As the protruding part 46 advantageously does not deform, the throttle clearance 28 remains identical whatever the fuel pressure is.
  • the throttle 28 induces a pressure drop to the fuel flowing through it and, relative to the high pressure in the upstream chamber 38, the lower pressure of the downstream chamber 40 induces in the downstream part of the inter-chambers portion 42, below the collar 36, radially outwardly oriented forces biasing the peripheral wall 44 in its part integral to the nozzle body 16 and in the very foot portion of the protruding part 46, none of which being of a sufficient magnitude to vary the throttle 28.
  • the collar 36 has its outer edge 34 slidably guided in the inner face 48 of the inter-chambers portion 42.
  • the throttle 28, previously described annular, is now drilled through the collar 36 opening in the upstream 20 and downstream faces 22.
  • said throttle 28 can be drilled through the main shaft 54 of the needle and open above and below the collar 36.
  • the collar 36 can be provided with at least one flat that defines a throttle passage between said flat portion of the edge and the cylindrical inner face 48.
  • the edge 34 could be provided with an under-cut, a slot or a hole intersecting the edge of the collar, such as a semi-circular or triangular hole, defining the throttle passage 28.
  • said slots can be arranged on the inner face of the sleeve.
  • the collar 36 and the inner cylindrical face 48 form an axial guide to the needle valve 14.
  • the needle can either be axially guided by three guides or, alternatively to preserve isostatically guiding means said needle 14 could have just two guides, for instance in its upper part by the control chamber and, in the collar 36, the lower extremity of the needle being cantilevered.
  • both upper and lower needle guides could be kept as in the prior art of figure 1 and, to preserve isostatic guiding, the sleeve 56 previously described fixed to the nozzle body 16, can be set free to move self-centred by the collar 56.
  • the free sleeve 56 is kept in axial position in abutment against a radial face of the nozzle body 16 thanks to the fuel pressure that induces on said sleeve downwardly oriented forces.
  • biasing means such as a spring can also be added to secure the axial positioning of the free sleeve while still leaving it free to be radially self-centred by the collar 36.
