Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a valve assembly for a fluid injection valve and to a fluid injection valve, e.g. a fuel injection valve of a vehicle. It particularly relates to solenoid injection valves.
  • Injection valves of the "free lift"-design as well as those without free-lift gap usually have a chrome plating on surfaces of the armature contacting the pole piece to improve wear resistance.
  • the chrome plating is costly and should be avoided for environmental reasons.
  • a valve assembly for an injection valve comprises a valve body with a central longitudinal axis.
  • the valve body comprises a cavity with a fluid inlet portion and a fluid outlet portion.
  • the valve assembly further comprises a valve needle which is received in the cavity.
  • the valve needle is axially moveable relative to the valve body.
  • the valve needle prevents a fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in a closing position and releases the fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in further positions.
  • the valve needle is axially displaceable relative to the valve body away from the closing position for releasing the fluid flow.
  • the valve assembly may expediently comprise a calibration spring which biases the valve needle towards closing position, i.e. in axial direction towards the fluid outlet portion in the case of an inward opening valve assembly.
  • the valve assembly further comprises an armature of an electro-magnetic actuator unit.
  • the armature is operable to actuate the valve needle.
  • the armature is axially displaceable in reciprocating fashion relative to the valve body and is configured for axially displacing the valve needle away from the closing position, in particular against the bias of the calibration spring.
  • the armature is preferably mechanically coupled to the valve needle in such fashion that it takes the valve needle with it when it moves towards a stationary pole piece of the actuator unit.
  • At least one guiding surface is provided on an outer surface of the armature.
  • the outer surface of the armature has a section which represents the guiding surface.
  • the guiding surface interacts with an inner surface of the valve body to guide the axial movement of the armature.
  • the guiding surface is in sliding mechanical contact with the inner surface of the valve body.
  • the "outer surface" of the armature is in particular understood in the present context to be an external surface of the armature, in particular an external circumferential surface of the armature.
  • the outer surface delimits the armature laterally in radial outward direction.
  • the outer surface is in particular the surface of the armature opposing the inner surface of the valve body.
  • the inner surface of the valve body in particular defines the cavity.
  • a plurality of flow passages are formed in the outer surface of the armature.
  • the flow passages may expediently extend axially along the armature at its periphery, i.e. at the external surface opposing the inner surface of the valve body.
  • the outer surface has recessed further sections. The recessed further sections may expediently be spaced apart from the inner surface of the valve body to define the flow passages.
  • the armature has a plurality of guiding surfaces which are spaced apart from one another in circumferential direction.
  • the guiding surfaces are separated from one another in circumferential direction by the flow passages.
  • the armature may be have an internal circumferential surface which is fixed to or in sliding mechanical contact with the valve needle for axially guiding the valve needle.
  • any portions of the valve needle which are axially overlapping the armature or which are arranged subsequent to the armature in axial direction towards the pole piece are radially spaced apart from the valve body and any elements of the valve assembly which are positionally fix relative to the valve body.
  • the armature-needle- subassembly is guided by the guiding surface on the outer surface of the armature and not by valve needle or by an armature retainer which is fixed to the valve needle.
  • the flow passages at the periphery of the armature can be manufactured particularly simply and cost-efficiently.
  • the guiding surfaces on the outer surface of the armature are manufacturable with particular small tolerances, allowing a particularly precise axial guidance of the armature.
  • the armature is fixed to the valve needle.
  • the armature has an axial play with respect to the valve needle.
  • the valve assembly may expediently comprise an upper armature retainer which is fixed to the valve needle.
  • the armature is in particular configured to actuate the valve needle by engaging the upper armature retainer.
  • the armature is operable to take the valve needle with it on its travel in axial direction towards the pole piece by means of form-fit engagement with the upper armature retainer.
  • That the armature retainer is an "upper" armature retainer means in particular that it is operable to limit axial displaceability of the armature with respect to the valve needle in direction towards the pole piece.
  • the calibration spring may be seated against the upper armature retainer. It is also conceivable that it is seated against the valve needle. In embodiments in which the armature is fixed to the valve needle, the calibration spring may also be seated against the armature.
  • the armature retainer is arranged inside a recess in the upper surface of the armature.
  • an upper side of the upper armature retainer is coplanar or at least essentially coplanar with the upper surface of the armature.
  • the upper surface of the armature is in particular the surface of the armature which is facing in axial direction towards the pole piece.
  • it is a planar surface which extends radially from the outer circumferential contour of the upper armature retainer to the outer surface of the armature. This is possible, because guidance of the valve needle is not effected by way of the upper armature retainer. A radial flow path with particularly small turbulences is achievable in this way.
  • the flow passages provided in the outer surface are flattened surface sections extending in axial direction from the upper side of the armature to a lower side of the armature.
  • the lower side is understood to be the surface opposite the upper side of the armature, facing towards the fluid outlet portion in case of an inward opening valve.
  • the lower side is in particular facing away from the pole piece.
  • This embodiment has the advantage, that the flow passages can be very easily formed during manufacture of the armature by flattening the cylindrical surface of the armature in some places by a suitable process.
  • the armature is solid and in particular does not comprise fuel passages on the inside.
  • the upper surface of the armature, extending radially outward from the valve needle or from the upper armature retainer to the outer surface of the armature is unperforated. That the armature does not comprise fuel passages on the inside means in particular that the armature has no through-hole or it has one, and only one, axial through-hole, the valve needle extending through said through-hole.
  • the injection valve has the advantage, that it enables a no-hard-stop-concept and therefore eliminates the necessity of a hardening coating on the pole piece and the upper side of the armature. This is due to the fact that the only flow path is built by the flow passages on the outer surface of the armature. Fluid does not flow in passages inside the armature, for no such passages on the inside are provided. As a consequence, during an opening phase of the injector, there is a pressure gradient across the upper side of the armature, suspending the armature in a stable position and building up a sufficient hydraulic force to stop the armature from contacting the pole piece. Thus, fluid can pass between the lower side of the pole piece and the upper side of the armature.
  • the spring rate of the calibration spring is in particular adapted to the magnetic force of the actuator unit in such fashion that the spring force of the calibration spring alone is smaller than the magnetic force on the armature during operation of the actuator unit.
  • Such a comparatively small spring rate may be advantageous for the dynamic behavior of the valve assembly. Due to the valve assembly having only flow paths along the passages on the outside of the armature, the spring force of the calibration spring is supplemented by the hydraulic force generated by the pressure drop along the radial flow path along the upper surface of the armature. This leads to suspension of the armature in the maximum opening position of the valve assembly at a distance from the pole piece.
  • valve opening time is in particular the amount of time for which a coil of the actuator unit is energized during one injection event for actuating the valve needle.
  • Conventional valve assembly usually exhibit an S-shaped "wiggle" and a change of slope in the region of valve opening times at the transition from a ballistic operation mode to an operation mode where the armature hits the pole piece during the injection event.
  • a "ballistic operation mode” is an operation mode for injecting small amounts of fluid in which the coil is energized for such a short time that the valve needle does not reach its fully open position before it starts returning to the closing position.
  • An anti-friction coating may be provided on the at least one guiding surface on the outer surface of the armature.
  • the anti-friction coating may in particular comprise tungsten carbon carbide (WCC) or diamond-like carbon (DLC).
  • WCC tungsten carbon carbide
  • DLC diamond-like carbon
  • a fluid injection valve with the valve assembly is provided.
  • the injection valve may in particular be a fuel injection valve of a vehicle.
  • the valve assembly if the fluid injection valve has a solid armature which is free of internal flow channels as described above.
  • the injection valve has the advantage of a very high shot-to-shot repeatability compared to an injection valve employing a hard-stop-concept. It has the further advantages, that because contact between the armature and the pole piece is avoided, noise and wear can be reduced and a chrome plating on the pole piece and on the upper side of the armature can be omitted.
  • a fuel delivery is linear over time.
  • a linear and monotonic fuel delivery may be achievable by the hydraulic force of the fluid flow controlling the suspension of the armature. This leads to better control over fuel delivery and higher accuracy of fuel delivery.
  • the fluid injection valve 1 shown in figures 1 and 2 is in particular suitable for dosing fuel to a combustion engine, preferably for dosing fuel directly into a combustion chamber of the engine.
  • the invention could be used in other types of injection valves, too.
  • the injection valve 1 comprises a valve assembly 3.
  • the valve assembly 3 comprises a valve body 4 with a central longitudinal axis L.
  • a housing 6 is partially arranged around the valve body 4.
  • the valve body 4 is hollow so as to define a cavity 9.
  • the cavity 9 has a fluid outlet portion 7.
  • the fluid outlet portion 7 communicates with a fluid inlet portion 5 which is provided in the valve body 4.
  • the fluid inlet portion 5 and the fluid outlet portion 7 are in particular positioned at opposite axial ends of the valve body 4.
  • the cavity 9 takes in a valve needle 11.
  • the valve needle 11 comprises a needle shaft and a sealing ball 12 welded to the tip of the needle shaft.
  • an upper armature retainer 24 Adjacent to an axial end of the needle shaft remote from the sealing ball 12, an upper armature retainer 24is fixedly coupled to the valve needle 11.
  • the upper armature retainer 24 is welded to the needle shaft in the present embodiment.
  • the valve needle 11 In a closing position of the valve needle 11, it sealingly rests on a seat plate 14 having at least one injection nozzle.
  • the fluid outlet portion 7 is arranged near the seat plate 14. In the closing position of the valve needle 11, a fluid flow through the at least one injection nozzle is prevented.
  • the injection nozzle may be, for example, an injection hole. However, it may also be of some other type suitable for dosing fluid.
  • a preloaded calibration spring 18 exerts a force on the valve needle 11, biasing the valve needle 11 towards the closing position.
  • One axial end of the calibration spring 18 is seated against the upper armature retainer for transferring the spring force of the calibration spring 18 to the valve needle 11.
  • the injection valve 1 is provided with an electro-magnetic actuator unit 19 to actuate the valve needle 11.
  • the electro-magnetic actuator unit 19 comprises a solenoid 21, i.e. an electromagnetic coil, which is preferably arranged inside the housing 6. Furthermore, the electro-magnetic actuator unit 19 comprises an armature 23.
  • the actuator unit 19 further comprises a pole piece 25.
  • the housing 6, parts of the valve body 4, the pole piece 25 and the armature 23 form an electromagnetic circuit.
  • the pole piece 25 is fixed to the valve body 4, in particular inside the cavity 9, in the present embodiment. It can also be in one piece with the valve body 4.
  • the armature 23 is arranged in the cavity 9 of the valve boy 4. It is axially displaceable in reciprocating fashion relative to the valve body 4. In this way, the pole piece 25 and the armature 23 represent a stationary core and a movable core, respectively, of the actuator unit 19.
  • the armature 23 has a central axial opening through which the shaft of the valve needle 11 extends.
  • the needle 11 is axially guided by the central axial opening in the armature 23.
  • a circumferential surface of the shaft and the surface of the central axial opening are in sliding mechanical contact.
  • the armature 23 is axially movable relative to the valve needle 11, i.e. it may slide on the needle 11.
  • Axial displaceability of the armature 23 relative to the valve needle 11 in direction towards the pole piece 25 is limited by the upper armature retainer 24, herein also denoted as "upper retaining element".
  • the upper retaining element 24 is embedded into a recess 33 in the armature 23 so that the upper side 27 of the armature 23 and an upper side 29 of the upper retaining element 24 are coplanar.
  • the armature-needle-subassembly is not guided via the upper retaining element 24. Instead, at least a part of the outer surface 35 of the armature 23 serves as a guiding surface 36 interacting with an inner surface 37 of the valve body 4.
  • Figure 3 shows a cross section of parts of the valve assembly 3 along a plane including the upper retaining element 24.
  • a number of flow passages 39 are formed by flattened sections of the outer surface 35, extending from the upper side 27 of the armature 23 to the lower side 41 of the armature 23.
  • fluid can flow from the fluid inlet portion 5 towards the fluid outlet portion 7, when the injection valve 1 is open.
  • the armature 23 When the actuator unit is de-energized in a closed configuration of the valve assembly 3, the armature 23 is in form-fit engagement with the upper armature retainer 24 due to an armature return spring which biases the armature 23 in axial direction towards the upper armature retainer 24.
  • the solenoid 21 When the solenoid 21 is energized, the armature 23 experiences a magnetic force and slides upwards - i.e. in axial direction towards the pole piece 25. Due to the form-fit connection with the upper armature retainer 24, it takes the valve needle 11 with it in axial direction away from the fluid outlet portion 7, thereby compressing the calibration spring 18. Consequently, the valve needle 11 moves in axial direction out of the closing position of the valve 1.
  • Fuel starts to flow from a central opening of the pole piece 25 in radial outward direction along the upper armature retainer 24 and the upper surface 27 of the armature 23 and, because there are no passages formed on the inside of the armature 23, to the outer surface 35 of the armature 23. There, the fuel flows further along the passages 39 in the outer surface 35 of the armature 23 and towards the fluid outlet portion 7.
  • the residual gap between the upper side 27 of the armature 23 and the lower side 31 of the pole piece 25 decreases.
  • the decreasing hydraulic diameter of the residual gap effects an increasing pressure difference between the upper side 27 and the lower side 41 of the armature 23.
  • the pressure difference generates a hydraulic force on the armature 23 in axial direction away from the pole piece 25.
  • the magnetic force of the actuator unit 19 and the spring force of the calibration spring 18 are adapted to the hydraulic force which is generated under normal operating conditions of the injection valve 1 that the spring force and the hydraulic force exceed the magnetic force before the residual gap is completely closed.
  • the armature 23 stops moving upwards before contact with the pole piece 25 is made.
  • a residual gap is still present between the upper side 27 of the armature 23 and the lower side 31 of the pole piece 25.
  • the residual gap stays open because of the hydraulic force the fuel exerts on the upper side 27 of the armature 23 and the upper side 29 of the upper armature retainer 24. Consequently, there is no hard stop for the armature 23 in the maximum opening position.
  • the armature 23 is suspended in the maximum opening position by an equilibrium of forces in a stable position.
  • a magnetic force acting in a direction away from the fluid outlet portion 7 is balanced by the sum of a hydraulic force and a spring force exerted by the calibration spring 18 both acting in a direction towards the fluid outlet portion 7.
  • the calibration spring 18 is able to force the valve needle 11 to move in axial direction into its closing position.
