Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an injector, which is also called an injection valve.
  • injectors are typically used in internal combustion engines and generally function according to a servo principle in which an actuator is set in motion by applying a voltage and a nozzle needle of the injector is lifted out of a nozzle needle seat by a hydraulic transmission system, thereby injecting a fuel under high pressure into a combustion chamber.
  • the basic operating principle of an injector is known to those skilled in the art and is only partially explained in the present invention.
  • the nozzle needle and the nozzle needle seat have been used as switches so that when the nozzle needle is raised, a current flowing from the nozzle needle to the nozzle needle seat is interrupted.
  • the actual opening time can be determined in a relatively simple manner using a differential current measurement.
  • the switch formed by the contact pairing of needle tip and needle seat, to the ground potential.
  • the ground potential is typically formed by the engine block in which the injector is located and in which it is screwed in. There is therefore already a connection from the nozzle needle seat to ground via the outer casing of the injector.
  • the problem with this is that under certain circumstances the current flowing through the switch is very high. There are states in the injector where it is energized but the switch is still closed. This is the case, for example, when the energization has only just started and the needle has not yet been lifted out of its seat.
  • the WO 2016/012242 A1 shows a prior art having the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a high-temperature resistor chip as a resistor to limit the current flow when a switch is closed is advantageous because such a high-temperature resistor chip is compact in its design and has only a very small change in resistance when the temperature changes.
  • the high-temperature resistor chip is preferably characterized in that its average power in the period of 5000 ⁇ s is in the range of 0.10 to 0.12 W, preferably in the range of 0.11 to 0.12 W.
  • the high-temperature resistance chip can have a working temperature range of -55°C to +300°C, so that it remains usable even with the greatest temperature fluctuations, and/or have a non-magnetic structure.
  • the non-magnetic structure guarantees that no components of the injector are influenced in an unwanted way and their performance is impaired.
  • the high-temperature resistor chip does not contain any organic components.
  • the input line and the output line are connected to an electromagnet, wherein the electromagnet preferably causes the nozzle needle tip to be lifted out of the nozzle needle seat when it is acted upon by current conducted via the input line and the output line.
  • the electromagnet preferably causes the nozzle needle tip to be lifted out of the nozzle needle seat when it is acted upon by current conducted via the input line and the output line.
  • the input line and the output line each represent a contact of a coil which is part of an electromagnet.
  • the contacts of the coil are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. This material is particularly resistant to the conditions prevailing in the injector and is in particular not susceptible to fuels dispensed by the injector.
  • the high-temperature resistance chip is attached to the input line or the output line in an electrically conductive state by means of contact adhesive or soldering.
  • a line running from the high-temperature resistance chip to the switch (3) runs in a plastic overmolding of a magnetic coil, wherein the magnetic coil is designed to set the nozzle needle in motion.
  • the plastic overmold not only surrounds a magnetic coil of the injector but also serves as a sheath for a line leading to the switch.
  • This line is typically an intermediate piece that extends from the connection of the input line to the first connection of the switch, typically the nozzle needle.
  • the resistor can also be arranged on or in the plastic overmolding. If it is arranged inside the plastic overmolding, it is also advantageous that the resistor is then better protected against harmful influences.
  • the injector housing is made of an electrically conductive material.
  • the injector housing is connected to the ground potential. This is typically done via an engine block with which an injector interacts during its intended use.
  • the invention further comprises an internal combustion engine with an injector according to one of the variants discussed above and a device according to the variants discussed above.
  • the invention further includes a motor vehicle having the internal combustion engine defined above.
  • Fig.1 shows some parts of an injector 1 according to the invention.
  • the input and output lines 4, 5 can be seen there, which correspond to the coil contacts of the coil for the electromagnet in an electromagnetic conversion of the injector 1.
  • the magnetic coil is surrounded by a fuel coating 8, at the lower end of which a contact leading to the seat plate 9 is arranged.
  • a schematic representation of the switch 3 formed by the nozzle needle and nozzle needle seat can be seen, which is open or closed depending on the state of the injector. What is not shown in the figure is that the end of the switch facing away from the seat plate 9 is connected to ground.
  • a high-temperature resistance chip is provided in the line between a coil contact and the first terminal of the switch 3.
  • Fig.2 shows an enlarged section of the Fig.1 and is also provided with current flow arrows. It can be seen that the current flows from the input line into the electromagnet, more precisely the winding of the electromagnet's coil, and then flows back again via the output line 5. In the process, a small amount of current is tapped from the circuit and flows out via the closed switch. The small amount of current is characterized by smaller arrows.
  • Fig.3 shows an embodiment of the injector 1 according to the invention, which has an injector housing 2, an input line 4 leading into the injector housing 2 and an output line 5 leading out of the injector housing 2.
  • an actuator 8 for controlling a nozzle needle is provided, which can be an electromagnet, for example.
  • the mechanical switch 3 is also shown there, which results from the interaction of the movement of the nozzle needle and the nozzle needle seat. If the nozzle needle is lifted out of its seat and the Nozzle released for injection, switch 3 is in its open position. In contrast, when the needle closes, the contact is closed and switch 3 is in its conductive state.
  • a first connection 6 of switch 3 is connected to input line 4 via a resistor R, a high-temperature resistor chip according to the invention.
  • the second connection 7 of switch 3 is electrically connected to injector housing 2, which is typically equivalent to ground potential 9 during operation.
  • the information as to whether the needle lift switch 3 is closed or open and thus whether the injection takes place or not is detected by the current difference between the input and output lines.
  • the injector When the injector is activated, a voltage is applied to the input line 4 and the input line 5, which causes the nozzle needle to be indirectly set in motion via the actuator 8, which can be designed as an electromagnet.
  • the needle lifts out of its seat and thus opens the contact. As a result, fuel is injected into the combustion chamber.
  • the current flowing into the injector is compared with the current flowing out. If switch 3 is closed, slightly more current flows into injector 1 at one of the connections than out of the second connection. This is because part of the current flows directly to ground 9 via switch 3. This makes it quite easy to detect whether the switch is closed or not.
  • switch 3 is open. If both currents are different, this means that switch 3 is closed. However, this type of detection only works if a voltage is applied to injector 1, since a current flow is required for detection.
