Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure control valve, which is used for example in a fuel supply system of a vehicle.
  • pressure control valves are used, for example, to regulate a pressure in a high pressure region of a common rail injection system at a certain level.
  • a pressure control valve typically includes an actuator in the form of a solenoid that can move a valve pin in a valve pin bore and that holds a valve member, such as a valve ball, in a valve seat by the magnetic force to close the pressure control valve ,
  • a pressure control valve is out of DE 10 2010 043 092 A1 known.
  • WO 2004/083695 A1 a pressure relief valve is known in which the valve piston has a plurality of side channels.
  • a pressure regulating valve can have an axial inlet opening and an outlet opening, through which a fluid can enter the pressure regulating valve and leave it again.
  • the outflow opening can be connected via the valve pin space with the inlet opening, which can lead to a relatively complicated geometry for the connection between the inlet opening and outlet opening. This can lead to turbulence and friction losses in the fluid.
  • the invention relates to a pressure control valve, which can be installed, for example, in the housing of a high pressure pump of a common rail injection system.
  • the pressure regulating valve comprises a housing with an inlet opening and an outlet opening; a valve pin guided in the housing; a valve member (eg, a valve ball) at one end of the valve pin adapted to close a valve seat upon movement of the valve pin so that fluid flow between the input port and the discharge port is interrupted.
  • the valve pin is divided into an anchor pin and a valve needle, wherein the anchor pin has a hollow channel and the valve needle at least one side channel, so that when the pressure control valve is open, the fluid flow from the input port through the side channel into the hollow channel and from there into the discharge port.
  • the one or more side channels may be, for example, longitudinal grooves.
  • the pressure regulating valve comprises an actuator for moving the valve pin, which is designed to exert a force on the anchor pin.
  • the actuator may, for example, be a coil or an electromagnet which can move the anchor pin in the direction of the valve seat by means of a valve armature.
  • the valve needle can be supported on the anchor pin (for example via an intermediate element or a cap on the anchor pin) and be moved by it.
  • valve needle has a larger diameter than the anchor pin. In this way, an axial fluid flow through the side channel can be converted into an axial fluid flow in the hollow channel without much lateral movement.
  • the valve needle has at least three axial side channels. The side channels or longitudinal grooves can be arranged symmetrically to a central axis of the valve needle.
  • the anchor pin is guided in a first housing part and the valve needle in a second housing part.
  • the two housing parts can be plugged into each other.
  • the second housing part embrace the first.
  • the function of guiding the valve needle and the function of the valve body in a single component (the second housing part) can be summarized.
  • a shim for adjusting the distance of the valve tip from the valve seat may be arranged.
  • the pressure regulating valve comprises a deflecting cap or anchor pin cap for the fluid flow, which is arranged between the anchor pin and the valve needle.
  • the deflection cap can thereby lead the outflow of the fluid as lossless as possible from the outside (ie from the side channels) inwards (ie to the hollow channel).
  • the deflection cap ensures the transmission of the axial force between the anchor pin and the valve needle.
  • the deflection cap can, as an interface between anchor pin and valve needle, on the one hand enable a transmission of the magnetic force in the axial direction onto the valve ball.
  • the deflection cap allow the pressure loss-minimized axial Nieder Kunststoffabströmung of the outer side channels of the valve needle inwardly into the tubular anchoring needle.
  • the deflection cap is attached to the anchor pin and supported on the valve needle.
  • the deflecting cap can be placed on the front side of the anchoring needle and / or can be pressed onto the valve needle.
  • the Umlenkkappe may have a plate-shaped projection, with which it is supported on an end face of the valve needle.
  • the deflection cap is fastened by means of a groove connection to the anchor pin.
  • the deflecting cap can be fastened with a circumferential groove on the anchor pin.
  • the deflecting cap and the anchor pin may have the same outer diameter, so that the deflecting cap can be guided together with the anchor pin in the first housing part.
  • the deflection cap on an annular outer wall, the interior of which is divided by radial webs in at least two passage openings.
  • the deflection cap can have five webs and thus five through-openings.
  • the webs or passage openings can be arranged symmetrically to a central axis of the deflection cap.
  • the passage openings extend obliquely to an axial direction. In this way, the axial flow can be deflected by the one or more side channels of the valve needle in the axial flow in the hollow channel.
  • a projection between the passage openings can be provided on an input side in the middle, on which the Umlenkkappe can be supported.
  • the webs have a teardrop-shaped cross-section in the axial direction. This too can reduce friction losses in the fluid flow.
