Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Einrichtung zur Festsetzung zumindest einer Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse für eine Brennkraftmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for fixing at least one fuel injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist eine Einrichtung bekannt, JPH03182680 A , mit der eine Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse einer Brennkraftmaschine in einer Bohrung eines Zylinderkopfs angeordnet ist. Die Einrichtung verfügt über eine nach Art eines zweiarmigen Hebels ausgelegte Haltevorrichtung, die einerseits mit einem ersten Arm an einem kragenartigen Anschlag der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse und andererseits mit einem zweiten Arm an einem Schraubenkopf einer Zylinderkopfschraube angreift. Zwischen den beiden Armen erstreckt sich eine Befestigungsschraube, die in ein Gewinde im Zylinderkopf hineingedreht ist und die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse unter Zwischenschaltung einer Dichtung gegen einen Anschlag in der Bohrung des Zylinderkopfs spannt. Darüber hinaus durchdringt eine Düsenspitze des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils eine Durchgangsöffnung im Zylinderkopf und ist dadurch mit einem Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine verbunden.There is a device known JPH03182680 A with which a fuel injection nozzle of an internal combustion engine is arranged in a bore of a cylinder head. The device has a holding device which is designed in the manner of a two-armed lever and engages on the one hand with a first arm on a collar-like stop of the fuel injection nozzle and on the other hand with a second arm on a screw head of a cylinder head screw. Between the two arms extends a fastening screw which is screwed into a thread in the cylinder head and spans the fuel injector with the interposition of a seal against a stop in the bore of the cylinder head. In addition, a nozzle tip of the fuel injection valve penetrates a passage opening in the cylinder head and is thereby connected to a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.

Aus der DE 195 54 065 A1 geht eine Baugruppe zur Befestigung einer Einspritzdüse in einem Halter hervor, der mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung für die Einspritzdüse versehen ist. An der Einspritzdüse ist ein Spannelement angebracht. Mittels Befestigungsschrauben wird das Spannelement mit dem Halter verbunden und zwar in der Weise, dass die Einspritzdüse an einem Anschlag in der Aufnahmeöffnung kraftschlüssig anliegt. Zwischen Einspritzdüse und Anschlag ist eine Dichtscheibe eingebaut. Und eine Düsensspitze der Einspritzdüse durchdringt eine Durchgangsbohrung in dem Halter, so dass Kraftstoff in einen nachgeordneten Brennraum einbringbar ist.From the DE 195 54 065 A1 shows an assembly for mounting an injection nozzle in a holder, which is provided with a receiving opening for the injection nozzle. At the injection nozzle, a clamping element is attached. By means of fastening screws, the clamping element is connected to the holder in such a way that the injection nozzle rests against a stop in the receiving opening frictionally. Between the injection nozzle and stop a sealing washer is installed. And a nozzle tip of the injector penetrates a through hole in the holder, so that fuel can be introduced into a downstream combustion chamber.

Die DE 26 49 357 gibt eine Verbindung einer Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit einem Zylinderkopf einer Brennkraftmaschine wieder. Die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse ruht mit einem Führungsschaft in einer Bohrung des Zylinderkopfs. Außerhalb der Bohrung wirkt ein Druckstück auf die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse ein, derart dass unter Vermittlung einer Befestigungsschraube besagte Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse in axialer Richtung gegen einen Anschlag in der Bohrung gespannt wird. Mittellängsachsen der Befestigungsschrauben und der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse verlaufen mit definiertem Abstand zueinander.The DE 26 49 357 indicates a connection of a fuel injection nozzle with a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine again. The fuel injector rests with a guide shaft in a bore of the cylinder head. Outside the bore, a pressure piece acts on the fuel injection nozzle, so that said by means of a fastening screw Fuel injector is clamped in the axial direction against a stop in the bore. Central longitudinal axes of the fastening screws and the fuel injection nozzle run at a defined distance from one another.

Weitere Einrichtungen zur Festsetzung von Kraftstoffeinspritzdüsen sind insbesondere aus der EP 1 722 099 A2 und der DE 10 2008 009 385 A1 bekannt.Other devices for fixing fuel injection nozzles are in particular from the EP 1 722 099 A2 and the DE 10 2008 009 385 A1 known.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung eine Einrichtung zur Festsetzung wenigstens einer Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit einer Haltevorrichtung zu konzipieren, die sich durch gute Funktion, einfache Montage und leichte Umsetzbarkeit auszeichnet.It is an object of the invention to design a device for fixing at least one fuel injector with a holding device, which is characterized by good function, ease of installation and ease of implementation.

Nach der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weitere, die Erfindung ausgestaltende Merkmale sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.According to the invention, this object is solved by the features of patent claim 1. Further, the invention ausgestaltende features are included in the subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung hauptsächlich erzielten Vorteile sind darin zu sehen, dass die Einrichtung mit der Haltevorrichtung die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse an dem Gehäuseabschnitt der Brennkraftmaschine vorbildlich in Lage hält. Dabei lassen sich sowohl die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse mit der Haltevorrichtung wie auch die Haltevorrichtung mit dem Gehäuseabschnitt auf einfache Weise verbinden - einfach ist auch die Demontage. Und auch die mit fachmännischem Können realisierbare Haltevorrichtung ist in diesem Zusammenhang zu erwähnen. Die bauliche Gestaltung der Haltevorrichtung mit Befestigungsflansch, Hülltopf und Befestigungsflansch setzt auf dem Gebiet Festsetzung von Kraftstoffeinspritzdüsen Maßstäbe. Hervorzuheben ist, dass zumindest der Hülltopf durch einen rotationssymmetrischen Körper gebildet wird, an den der Befestigungsflansch und die zur Axial- und auch Radialsicherung dienende Haltebuchse problemfrei anschließbar sind, wobei zur Sicherung der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse in der Haltbuchse handelsübliche Passfedern dienen. Eine erfindungsgemäße Festlegung der Haltevorrichtung ist, wenn die Befestigungsschrauben geleichmäßig verteilt auf einer Umfangsmittellinie ihres Befestigungsflansches angeordnet sind. Ein hervorragender Anschluss der Haltevorrichtung über den Befestigungsflansch und die Befestigungsschrauben wird dadurch erreicht, dass besagte Haltevorrichtung an dem einen Ventildeckel der Brennkraftmaschine darstellenden Gehäuseabschnitt befestigt ist. Ein vorzügliches Zusammenwirken der Haltevorrichtung mit der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse ergibt sich, wenn der z.B. aus federndem Stahl bestehende Hülltopf in axialer Richtung definiert federnde Eigenschaften besitzt. Unterstützt wird dies dadurch, dass der Hülltopf erfindungsgemäß vom Befestigungsflansch aus in Richtung Haltebuchse nach Art eines zusammenlaufenden konischen Mantels ausgeführt ist. Darüber hinaus ist positiv, dass der Mantel des Hülltopfs benachbart dem Befestigungsflansch in Richtung Haltebuchse mit einem ersten lediglich über eine Teillänge des Mantels konischen Mantelabschnitt versehenen ist, wobei sich von einem Ende der Teillänge des Mantels aus bis zur Haltebuchse ein zweiter Mantelabschnitt erstreckt. Vorteilhaft bei dieser Ausbildung ist, dass der erste Mantelabschnitt bezogen auf eine Mittellängsachse des Hülltopfs einen kleineren Winkel einschließt als ein entsprechender Winkel des zweiten Mantelabschnitts.The advantages achieved by the invention are to be seen in the fact that the device with the holding device holds the fuel injection nozzle in exemplary fashion on the housing section of the internal combustion engine. In this case, both the fuel injector with the holding device as well as the holding device with the housing portion in a simple way connect - easy is also the disassembly. And also the realizable with expert skills holding device is mentioned in this context. The structural design of the holding device with mounting flange, casing pot and mounting flange sets standards in the field of fixing fuel injectors. It should be emphasized that at least the enveloping pot is formed by a rotationally symmetrical body to which the mounting flange and serving for axial and radial locking bushing are connected problem-free, serving to secure the fuel injector in the retaining sleeve commercially available feather keys. A determination of the holding device according to the invention is when the fastening screws are arranged gleichichmäßig distributed on a circumferential center line of its mounting flange. An excellent connection of the holding device via the mounting flange and the fastening screws is achieved in that said holding device is fastened to the housing section which represents a valve cover of the internal combustion engine. An excellent interaction of the holding device with the fuel injector results when the existing example of resilient steel Covering pot in the axial direction has defined resilient properties. This is supported by the fact that the shroud is carried out according to the invention from the mounting flange in the direction of retaining sleeve in the manner of a converging conical shell. In addition, it is positive that the jacket of Hüllopfs is adjacent to the mounting flange in the direction of retaining sleeve provided with a first only over a partial length of the shell conical shell portion, extending from one end of the partial length of the shell to the retaining sleeve, a second shell portion. An advantage of this design is that the first shell portion includes a smaller angle relative to a central longitudinal axis of the enveloping pot than a corresponding angle of the second shell portion.

Eine hochrangige weitere Ausbildung der Haltevorrichtung wird dadurch erreicht, dass sie sich zur Aufnahme von zwei Kraftstoffeinspritzdüsen gut eignet und einen ersten und einen zweiten Hülltopf mit einer ersten und einer zweiten Haltebuchse besitzt. Beispiel gebend dabei ist, dass der erste und der zweite Hülltopf zu einer im Wesentlichen aus einem Stück hergestellten Baueinheit zusammengefasst sind, die mit einem umlaufenden Stützflansch auf einer korrespondierenden Aufnahmeebene an dem einen Ventildeckel darstellenden Gehäuseabschnitt aufliegt. Auf besondere Art ergänzt wird diese Ausführung dadurch, dass benachbart der Aufnahmeebene des Ventildeckels eine im Querschnitt U-förmige Rinne zur Aufnahme eines Dichtkörpers vorgesehen ist, der zwischen Rinne und Baueinheit wirksam ist. Schließlich wird diese Haltevorrichtung gezielt optimiert, indem in einer Mittellängsebene zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Hülltopf eine einzige Befestigungsschraube angeordnet ist, die mit einem Gewinde des Zylinderkopfs in Wirkverbindung steht und die Baueinheit am Ventildeckel funktionsgerecht in Lage hält.A high-level further design of the holding device is achieved in that it is well suited for receiving two fuel injectors and has a first and a second Hüllopf with a first and a second retaining sleeve. By way of example, it is hereby given that the first and the second enveloping pot are combined to form a structural unit produced substantially from one piece, which rests with a surrounding supporting flange on a corresponding receiving plane on the housing section that represents a valve cover. In a special way, this embodiment is complemented by the fact that adjacent to the receiving plane of the valve cover a cross-sectionally U-shaped groove is provided for receiving a sealing body, which is effective between the channel and the unit. Finally, this holding device is specifically optimized by a single fastening screw is arranged in a central longitudinal plane between the first and the second Hüllopf, which is in operative connection with a thread of the cylinder head and the assembly holds the valve cover functionally in position.

The internal combustion engine 1 is designed as an outboard motor for driving a ship's propeller and installed in a boat. This internal combustion engine has two parallel crankshafts which are aligned upright to a waterline of the boat. Both crankshafts are actuated by two reciprocating pistons which are reciprocated in horizontal bores of cylinders of a cylinder crankcase. Each reciprocating piston acts on said crankshafts with two connecting rods. In addition, the internal combustion engine 1 operates in the diesel process, with direct injection; Type Common Rail. From the DE 10 2012 015 907 B3 The latter specific features of the internal combustion engine 1 with two parallel crankshafts with description and drawings represent plausible.

Die Direkteinspritzung umfasst für die Zylinder Kraftstoffeinspritzdüsen 8, 9, zu deren Festsetzung an dem Ventildeckel 5 der Brennkraftmaschine 1 eine Einrichtung 10 vorgesehen ist - Fig. 2.

Dabei spannt die Haltevorrichtung 15 -Version I- die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse unter Zwischenschaltung einer Dichtscheibe 19 gegen einen Anschlag 20 in der Bohrung 11 des Zylinderkopfs 2.The direct injection comprises for the cylinder fuel injectors 8, 9, to whose fixing to the valve cover 5 of the internal combustion engine 1, a device 10 is provided, Fig. 2 , Each fuel injector 8 is at least partially inserted into a bore 11 of the cylinder head 2, the fuel injector 8 with a nozzle tip 12 a combustion chamber 13 between the cylinder head 2 and a reciprocating piston 14 supplies fuel. The fuel injector 8 forms with a holding device 15 a, for example, preassembled unit 16 and the holding device 15 is fixedly connected by means of a screw 17 with a housing portion 18 of the internal combustion engine 1. In this case, the holding device 15 -Version I- spans the fuel injection nozzle with the interposition of a sealing washer 19 against a stop 20 in the bore 11 of the cylinder head. 2

Die Haltevorrichtung 15 weist einen die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse 8 bereichsweise umringenden Hülltopf 21 auf, der auf einer der Düsenspitze 12 abgekehrten Seite einen Befestigungsflansch 22 verfügt. Mit Abstand zum Befestigungsflansch 22 ist am Hülltopf 21 eine Haltebuchse 23 vorgesehen, die einen Teilbereich 22 der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse 8 mit einer Bohrung 24 begrenzt. Zwischen Haltebuchse 23 und Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse 8 sind nur schematisch dargestellte handelsübliche Passfedern 25 wirksam, wodurch die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse 8 in axialer und radialer Richtung gesichert ist. Innerhalb der Haltebuchse 23 ist auf einer dem Befestigungsflansch 22 zugekehrten Seite ein Dichtkörper 25' vorgesehen, der zwischen einem Bohrungsabschnitt der Bohrung 24 und einem Schaftbereich der Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse 8 wirksam ist und Kraftstoffaustritt verhindert.The holding device 15 has a casing nozzle 21 which surrounds the fuel injection nozzle 8 in regions and has a fastening flange 22 on a side facing away from the nozzle tip 12.
