Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection valve for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 16.
  • Fuel injection valves of this type are known for example from WO 2007/098621 AI. Such fuel injectors allow with a minimum construction cost both the controllability of the opening movement of the injection valve member and a rapid closing of the injection valve member.
  • an intermediate valve moreover, permanently separates these two chambers from one another.
  • the intermediate valve opens quickly and gives the associated with the high-pressure chamber passage of large cross-section, causing a quick termination of the injection process.
  • the intermediate valve member of the intermediate valve is mushroom-shaped and has a, in a guide passage of an intermediate part guided in close sliding fit shaft and a head which is connected to a running around the shaft at a radial distance sealing surface
  • the sealing surface of the head and the sealing surface of the intermediate valve seat is inclined to each other so that they rest in the closed position of the intermediate valve, radially outwardly sealingly against each other and radially inward, an axially increasing throttle gap for the throttling of the high-pressure zulass in the direction of Form valve space. It is thus desirable to have an annular line seal between the valve member and the valve seat of the intermediate valve. The extremely precise for this solution production of the mushroom-shaped intermediate valve member and cooperating with this intermediate part is very delicate and very expensive.
  • embodiments of the fuel injection valve are disclosed, in which the intermediate part and an adjacent thereto on the side facing away from the guide member intermediate member are circular disc-shaped and arranged in an inner approximately completely circular cylindrical portion of the housing. They release a section of the high-pressure chamber between themselves and the housing. This section is connected on the one hand to the injection valve seat and on the other hand to the high-pressure fuel inlet.
  • the connection to the high-pressure inlet can for example take place in that the housing in the otherwise cylindrical portion in the radial direction against the outside and obliquely to the longitudinal axis extending recesses are formed. Such recesses weaken the stability of the housing, for example of the nozzle body in this area, which requires a correspondingly thicker design of the housing wall.
  • US 2011/0233309 Al discloses a fuel injection device in which a
  • the printing surface of the Pressure member is displaced or separated from the opening wall surface to open the inflow port of the opening wall surface to the pressure control chamber, when the connection between the discharge port and the return passage is interrupted by the pressure control valve.
  • the pressure surface of the pressure element or the opening wall surface of the control housing is provided with a lowered inflow portion and a lowered outflow portion, which are separated from each other.
  • a lowering dimension of the lowered inflow section is greater than the lowering dimension of the lowered outflow section.
  • the inventive fuel injection valve for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine has a housing which has at least one housing body and a nozzle body with an injection valve seat.
  • the housing is formed radially outwardly over its entire length at least approximately circular cylindrical, optionally with stepped outer diameter.
  • the housing has a high pressure space extending from a high pressure fuel inlet of the housing to the injector seat.
  • a preferably needle-shaped injection valve member is arranged to be adjustable in the direction of its longitudinal axis, which cooperates with the injection valve seat.
  • the injection valve member is lifted from the injection valve seat and brought to terminate the injection back to this plant.
  • a compression spring is present, which is supported with one end on the injection valve member and this acts with a directed towards the injection valve seat closing force.
  • the other end of the compression spring is supported stationary relative to the housing, preferably on a guide part, which is preferably designed as a guide sleeve.
  • the guide part is arranged in the housing in the high-pressure chamber, in which a control piston of the injection valve member is guided in preferably a narrow sliding fit.
  • a preferably plate-shaped intermediate part is present, which delimits a control space with respect to the high-pressure chamber and separates it from the latter together with the guide part and the control piston.
  • Control device for controlling the axial movement of the injection valve member by changing the pressure in the control chamber available.
  • the control device has a Intermediate valve, the mushroom-shaped intermediate valve member has a guided in a guide passage of the intermediate part in a preferably close sliding fit shaft and a head.
  • the head is facing the control chamber and lies with its at a radial distance around the shaft extending sealing surface, in the closed position of the intermediate valve member, on a formed on the intermediate part, annular
  • the annular sealing surface lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the shaft and thus of the intermediate valve member.
  • a high-pressure inlet formed on the intermediate part and permanently connected to the high-pressure inlet opens.
  • the intermediate valve separates, in the closed position of the intermediate valve member, the high-pressure admission and the annular space from the control chamber and, if the intermediate valve member is not in the closed position, there is the connection between the annulus and the high-pressure admission with the control room free.
  • the intermediate valve with the guided in preferably narrow sliding fit on the intermediate part shaft continuously separates the control chamber of a valve chamber, to a preferably formed on the intermediate valve member throttle passage of precise size, which connects the control chamber with the valve chamber permanently.
  • the fuel injector has an electrically actuated actuator assembly for connecting the valve space to and disconnecting the valve space from a low pressure fuel return.
  • the annular space further has an annular space immediately adjacent to the inner annular space
  • Spaltringraum which, in the closed position of the intermediate valve member, is formed by a gap between the intermediate part and the head of the intermediate valve member, wherein the measured in the longitudinal direction of the intermediate valve member gap width of
  • Spaltringraums is smaller than the inner annulus, preferably at least five times smaller.
  • the gap ring space allows a significant reduction of the ring sealing surface and thus the adhesion forces as well as an optimal placement of the ring sealing surface in the radial direction.
  • the annular sealing surface can be selected further outward in the radial direction or further inward.
  • the size of the active control piston surface of the injection valve member is adjustable in this simple manner, given space.
  • the split ring space, in the closed position of the intermediate valve member and in the longitudinal direction of the shaft and thus measured the intermediate valve member an at least approximately constant gap width.
  • the mouth of the high-pressure admission is completely in the region of the inner annular space.
  • This makes it possible to produce the high-pressure admission by means of a bore extending in the radial direction. Moreover, this prevents that the orifice is partially in the region of the split ring space, which the formation of the ring sealing surface at a shorter distance to the shaft, i. radially inward, allows.
  • the annular surface measured in the radial direction, a width between 0.1 mm and 1 mm.
  • the width is between 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. This ensures a good seal on the one hand with a flat annular sealing surface and on the other hand a minimal adhesion.
  • the split-ring space In the closed position of the intermediate valve member, the split-ring space, measured in the longitudinal direction of the shaft, preferably has a gap width of 0.04 mm to 0.4 mm.
  • the gap ring space is designed to save space and on the other hand, it is sufficiently large to ensure during the transient processes the optimal loading of the surface of the head between the shaft and the sealing surface with fuel.
  • the gap width is at least approximately constant in the region of the entire gap ring space.
  • the gap ring space measured in the radial direction, has a width of at least 0.2 mm. This allows a simple production on the one hand the sealing surface on the head and the other sealing surface of the intermediate valve seat.
  • the sealing surface on the head and the other sealing surface of the intermediate valve seat Preferably, on the head, on whose side facing the intermediate part projecting annular
  • Formed sealing bead whose free end face forms the sealing surface.
  • the control chamber facing end face of the intermediate part is flat. It forms the auxiliary valve seat with the part cooperating with the sealing surface of the head.
  • the sealing flange has an at least approximately square or rectangular cross section.
  • the head preferably has, on its side facing the intermediate part, a circular annular surface running radially outward around the sealing bead and lying at least approximately in the same plane as the annular surface between the shaft and the sealing bead.
  • the sealing bead has a cross section corresponding at least approximately to a rectangular trapezoid, the right angles being radially inward. The shorter of the two mutually parallel side of the trapezoid is thus in the sealing surface of the intermediate valve member and the oblique side extends away from this radially outward obliquely in the direction of the intermediate part.
  • the head seen in cross-section, a rectilinear extension of the radially outwardly inclined side of the trapezoid up to its radial outer edge out. This also allows a simple production of the intermediate valve member.
  • a radially inner and at the intermediate part a radially outer undercut may be integrally formed on the head, on whose side facing the intermediate part, wherein these undercuts limit the ring sealing surface in the abutting part of the intermediate valve member head. It would also be the reverse construction possible, namely, that at the top of a radially outer and the intermediate part a radially inner undercut are formed, these undercuts limit the annular surface.
  • an annular, preferably at least approximately square or rectangular sealing projection is integrally formed on the intermediate part, on whose side facing the head, whose free, head facing the end face forms the valve seat.
  • the sealing surface on the head can lie in the same plane as the surface between the shaft and the annular sealing surface.
  • the valve chamber is connected via a further throttle passage permanently connected to the high-pressure chamber.
  • This further throttle passage may be formed, for example, starting from high-pressure admission in the intermediate part. If the valve space is separated from the low-pressure fuel return by means of the actuator arrangement, a higher pressure is built up more quickly by this further throttle passage in the valve space, which leads to a faster opening of the intermediate valve member and thus to a more rapid termination of the injection process.
  • a preferably plate-shaped intermediate element Preferably lies on the intermediate part, on its side facing away from the guide part, a preferably plate-shaped intermediate element.
  • an outlet passage is formed, which defines the valve space together with the intermediate part and the intermediate valve member and which on the side facing away from the intermediate part of the intermediate member by means of a plunger of the actuator assembly lockable and releasable.
  • the valve chamber can thus be formed in a simple manner with the desired volume.
  • the end face of the intermediate element facing the actuator arrangement can be planar, on which the ram comes to rest for separating the valve space from low-pressure fuel return.

  • This has the consequence that the injection valve member 56 is lifted from the injection valve seat 18 by the action of the double-acting control piston 68 against the force of the compression spring 62, whereby an injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is started.
  • the plunger 40 is brought to the intermediate element 98 for conditioning, whereby the low-pressure outlet 42 is closed.
  • the pressure in the Valve chamber 44 rises through the throttle passage 90 and any existing additional throttle passage 96 incoming fuel, which causes a movement of the intermediate valve member 78 from the intermediate valve seat 82 away. This movement is further assisted by the double piston action of the intermediate valve member 78 embodied according to the present invention, wherein the adhesion opposing this opening movement of the intermediate valve member 78 is minimized.
  • the intermediate part 66 and the intermediate element 98 are each formed as a one-piece body. It is also possible to realize the intermediate part 66 and the intermediate element 98 from a single workpiece.

Abstract

Injecteur de carburant (10) qui comporte une soupape intermédiaire dont l'obturateur (78) présente une forme de champignon. La tige (76) de l'obturateur (78) de soupape intermédiaire est guidée dans le passage de guidage (74) d'une partie intermédiaire (66) selon un ajustement serré de coulissement. La tige (76) et la tête (80) de l'obturateur (78) de soupape intermédiaire, ainsi que la partie intermédiaire (66) délimitent un espace annulaire (120) dans lequel débouche un orifice d'entrée (86) pour fluide sous haute pression, et qui est formé par un espace annulaire interne (108) et par un espace annulaire (118) en forme de fente. L'espace annulaire (118) en forme de fente est délimité par la tête (80) et la partie intermédiaire (66), ainsi que radialement vers l'extérieur par un bourrelet d'étanchéité (112). La force d'adhésion entre l'obturateur (78) de soupape intermédiaire et la partie intermédiaire (66), qui agit à l'encontre du mouvement d'ouverture de l'obturateur (56) d'injecteur est ainsi réduite à un minimum.
