Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of fuel injectors.
- the present invention relates in particular to a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle.
- the present invention also relates to a method for determining a position of a movable armature in a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle as well as an engine controller which is set up to use the method.
- Figure 1 shows a solenoid injector 1 with idle stroke between armature 3 and nozzle needle 5.
- the armature 3 When a voltage is applied to the coil 4 mounted in the coil housing 7, the armature 3 is moved in the direction of the pole piece 2 by electromagnetic forces. As a result of mechanical coupling, after the idle stroke has been overcome, the nozzle needle 5 also moves and releases injection holes for fuel supply. Armature 3 and nozzle needle 5 continue to move until armature 3 strikes pole piece 2 (needle stroke). To close the injector 1, the excitation voltage is switched off and thus the magnetic force is reduced. The nozzle needle 5 and armature 3 are moved into the closed position by the spring force of the spring 6. Idle stroke and needle stroke are run through in reverse order. In the case of fuel injectors without an idle stroke, this need not first be overcome, otherwise the control of such a fuel injector proceeds in a similar manner.
- the patent application DE 38 43 138 A1 described measurement of the coil current or the voltage superimposed characteristic signals used. It is known that a feedback signal can be obtained on coil-operated assemblies by the eddy-current-driven coupling between the mechanics (armature 3 and injector needle 5) and magnetic circuit (coil 4 and the magnetic parts around coil 4, i.e. armature 3, pole piece 2, coil housing 7, injector housing and magnetic ring on top of the coil, which form the magnetic circuit) is used to generate the signal.
- the physical effect is based on the speed-dependent self-induction in the electromagnetic circuit as a result of the movement of the armature 3 and the injector needle 5.
- a voltage is induced in the electromagnet or a characteristic change in the course of the induced voltage is caused, which is superimposed on the control signal (characteristic signal).
- EP 2 455 603 A1 discloses a method for detecting the opening and closing process of an injector, the injector having a permanent magnet in order to increase the closing force which extends in the housing at least over the entire stroke of the armature next to the armature.
- the evaluation of the characteristic signal shape is particularly problematic for the detection of opening. Since the magnetic circuit is typically in magnetic saturation when it is opened or is driven into magnetic saturation, as well as being influenced by the other static (e.g. leakage flux, non-linearity) and dynamic (e.g. magnetic flux displacement, eddy currents) phenomena, the effect on the magnetic circuit is minimal and therefore difficult to detect. Even with the detection of the closing time the characteristic signal can be very weak depending on the design of the magnetic circuit.
- the DE 10 2008 001 822 A1 discloses a solenoid valve which has a slotted armature plate to reduce eddy currents.
- the present invention is based on the object of providing an improved fuel injector with reduced eddy current-related losses, which at the same time also has good detection properties.
- the present invention is also based on the object of providing a method for determining the armature position in such a fuel injector.
- a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle has: (a) a pole piece, (b) one along an axis of movement movable armature, (c) a coil and (d) a permanent magnet, wherein the movable armature has at least one electrically insulating element which is designed to reduce eddy currents in the armature, and wherein the permanent magnet is mounted so that it generates a magnetic field, which causes a force acting on the armature in the direction of the pole piece.
- the permanent magnet is attached subsequently to the coil in the direction of the axis of movement of the armature or it is attached radially outwards of the coil relative to the axis of movement of the armature.
- the fuel injector described is based on the knowledge that the electrically insulating element reduces the eddy currents in the armature and thus improves the efficiency of the fuel injector and that the attachment of the permanent magnet increases the voltage induced by the armature movement, so that this induced voltage even with reduced eddy currents can be used to detect the opening and closing of the fuel injector.
- the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet also leads, due to the magnetic force acting on the armature, to faster opening of the fuel injector when a voltage pulse is applied to the coil. Overall, the present invention thus provides a fuel injector with improved efficiency and improved dynamic and detection properties.
- the at least one electrically insulating element has or consists of a slot filled with air and / or an electrically insulating material and / or a non-magnetic material.
- an “electrically insulating element” is therefore also understood to mean an air gap.
- each electrically insulating area specifically designed to reduce eddy currents in the armature represents an “electrically insulating element”, even if the area is not formed by a solid body.
- At least one slot is formed in the armature so that it interrupts a potential eddy current path.

- At least one electric insulating element can in particular consist of a thin layer or foil of insulating material.
- the at least one electrically insulating element extends radially relative to the movement axis of the armature.
- the at least one electrically insulating element forms a surface which extends radially outward from the movement axis or from an area in the vicinity of the movement axis.
- the slots filled with air or an electrically insulating solid material extend radially to the axis of movement from the outside into the armature. In the axial direction, the slots preferably extend over the entire length of the armature.
- Preferred embodiments have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or even more such insulating surfaces.
- the permanent magnet is attached next to the coil and radially outward relative to the axis of movement of the armature.
- the permanent magnet is arranged following the coil radially outward. In particular, it laterally encloses the coil in plan view along the axis of movement.
- the permanent magnet is attached to the outside of the coil when it is viewed in the direction of the axis of movement of the armature.
- the permanent magnet preferably has an axial magnetization in order to form a magnetic field which surrounds the coil windings and causes a force acting on the armature in the direction of the pole piece, i.e. parallel to the axis of movement of the armature.
- the fuel injector furthermore has a coil housing which contains the permanent magnet.
- the coil housing with the permanent magnet encloses at least that part of the coil that does not point in the direction of the axis of movement or lies inward.
- the pole piece and / or the coil housing has at least one electrically insulating element which is designed to reduce eddy currents in the pole piece or the coil housing.
- the at least one electrically insulating element in the pole piece and / or coil housing can generally be formed in a manner similar to the above-described electrically insulating element in the armature.

- a method for determining a position of a movable armature in a fuel injector for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle is described.
- the fuel injector has a coil.
- the armature has at least one electrically insulating element which is designed to reduce eddy currents.
- the fuel injector has a permanent magnet which is attached in such a way that it generates a magnetic field which causes a force acting on the armature in the direction of a pole piece.
- the acquisition of the time profile of the electrical voltage over and / or the electrical current intensity through the coil can take place while the fuel injector is being activated.
- the control of the fuel injector is in particular the energization of the coil with the operating current in order to move the armature for the injection of fuel from a closed position to the pole piece into an open position and to hold the armature in the open position if necessary.
- the acquisition of the time profile of the electrical voltage over and / or the electrical current intensity through the coil during the Closing process - ie after switching off the operating current through the coil - take place.
- the method determines the beginning and end of opening and closing processes of the fuel injector.

- an engine controller for a vehicle which is set up to carry out the method according to the second aspect.
- This engine control enables efficient and flexible control of the fuel injector, whereby energy can be saved in the control and the injection quantities can be set very precisely at the same time.
- the motor control can be done by means of a computer program, i. software, as well as by means of one or more special electrical circuits, i. in hardware or in any hybrid form, i.e. using software components and hardware components.
- the Figure 1 shows a fuel injector 1 according to the prior art.
- the known fuel injector 1 with idle stroke shows how initially described, a pole piece 2, a movable armature 3, a coil 4, a nozzle needle 5, a spring 6 and a coil housing 7.
- the known fuel injector 1 is not described further at this point.
- the Figure 2 shows a fuel injector 200 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the fuel injector 200 is basically in the same way as the known fuel injector 1 in FIG Figure 1 but differs from this in at least two aspects, as will be further explained below.
- the fuel injector 200 with idle stroke has a pole piece 202, an armature 204 movable along the axis of movement 205, a coil 206, a permanent magnet 208, a coil housing 210, a nozzle needle 212 and a spring 214.
- the permanent magnet 208 is attached to the outside of the coil 206 in the coil housing 210 and magnetized in a direction that is parallel to the axis of movement 205 of the armature 204, so that a magnetic field indicated by the dashed line 216 is permanently present.
- the magnetic field 216 provides a force on the armature 204 which acts in the direction of the pole piece 202, that is, parallel to the axis of movement 205.
- the armature 204 has at least one electrically insulating element in order to reduce eddy currents in the armature 204.
- the at least one electrically insulating element is in the Figure 2 not shown, but will be used in conjunction with the below Figures 4A and 4B described.
- the armature can be constructed from a special material, for example from a soft magnetic composite material such as Somaloy®, which generates few eddy currents.
- the reduction in the eddy currents leads to improved energy efficiency due to the correspondingly reduced losses, so that the necessary magnetic force at a lower current strength in the Coil 206 can be reached. As a result, the opening process can also be completed more quickly.
- the latter is additionally supported by the permanently present magnetic field 216, since this provides a force offset. If an increase in the closing speed is desired, the spring force of the spring 214 can be increased relative to the spring 6 in the known fuel injector 1. Furthermore, the permanently present magnetic field 216 has the result that a voltage is induced in the coil 206 when the armature 204 and / or the needle 212 move.
- the state of the fuel injector 200 with regard to the opening and closing process can be detected, that is to say the position of the armature 204 can be determined.
- the opening process can best be detected by evaluating the induced current.
- the Figure 3 shows a fuel injector 300 according to an embodiment not belonging to the invention.
- the fuel injector 300 differs from that in FIG Figure 2 fuel injector 200 shown and described above in that the permanent magnet 308 is not attached to the outside but to the top of the coil 306.
- the permanent magnet 308 is magnetized in a direction which is perpendicular to the movement axis 305 of the armature 304, so that a magnetic field identified by the dashed line 316 is also permanently present in this embodiment.
- the permanent magnet 308 is attached to the underside of the coil 306.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B show embodiments of an armature 404a, 404b for a fuel injector according to embodiments of the invention. More specifically, the anchor 404a in FIG Figure 4A a total of eight electrically insulating elements 420 which extend radially outward relative to the movement axis 405 and thus effectively interrupt possible eddy current paths in the armature 405.
- the electrically insulating elements 420 are shown in FIG Figure 4A shown as slots in armature 404a, but can nonetheless be designed as insulating layers.
- the anchor can be modular or laminated. There may be fewer or more than eight elements 420.
- the slots 420 can be empty, i.e.
- the armature 404a as 404b can be made of a material (for example a soft magnetic composite material such as Somaloy®) which has the property of generating few eddy currents.
- the fuel injectors 200 and 300 described above can furthermore be provided in the pole piece 202, 302 in order to reduce eddy currents also in the pole piece 202, 302 and thus to further improve the efficiency and dynamics.
- electrically insulating elements can also be provided in the coil housing 210, 310 in order to reduce eddy currents in the coil housing 210, 310 and thus to further improve the efficiency and dynamics.
- Such insulating elements can, for example, be used in the same manner as those just referred to in relation to the Figures 4A and 4B elements 420 described be constructed.
- the pole piece 202, 302 and the coil housing 210, 310 can also have an eddy current-reducing material, such as Somaloy®.
- the Figure 5 shows a graphic illustration 500 of the time curves of the voltage 502 induced in the coil 206, 306 and the armature position 504 during an injection process of a fuel injector according to the invention, for example the fuel injector 200 or 300.
- the control is initiated with a voltage pulse (boost voltage) , which quickly builds up an operating current through the coil 206, 306, which magnetizes the coil 206, 306, so that the armature 204, 304 is moved from a closed position in the direction of the pole piece 202, 302 to an open position.
- boost voltage boost voltage
- the armature 204, 306 is held against the pole piece 202, 302 by a holding voltage which is reduced compared to the boost voltage. In this state, the voltage induced in coil 206, 306 drops and disappears if neither the operating current changes nor the armature 204, 304 moves.
