Definitions
- This high-pressure pump has a pressure-limiting valve that prevents the pressure in the high-pressure accumulator from rising too sharply. If the pressure reaches the
- the pressure relief valve opens and fuel flows from the high-pressure accumulator back into the compression chamber or back into the low-pressure chamber.
- the pressure relief valve opens when the hydraulically acting force on one side of the valve element is greater than the counteracting force of the spring pressing the valve element into the valve seat.
- the hydraulically acting force results from the prevailing hydraulic pressure and the area on which the pressure acts. This area results from the sealing diameter.
- the sealing diameter is the diameter of the ideally linear support ring on which the ball touches the valve seat surface.
- the present invention is based on the inventors' knowledge that the effective sealing diameter is basically determined according to the pressure drop actually occurring across the support ring.
- Opening pressure is applied which is not sufficient to open the pressure relief valve macroscopically wide, but at which a certain, small but measurable leak occurs, for example a leakage of 1ccm per minute in a pressure relief valve with a spherical radius of 1mm.
- a certain, small but measurable leak for example a leakage of 1ccm per minute in a pressure relief valve with a spherical radius of 1mm.
- valve element lifts off the valve seat surface by the order of magnitude of 0.5 pm or lpm or about a thousandth of the spherical radius of the valve element, so that a gap or leakage gap is formed between the valve element and the valve body.
- This situation under consideration is regarded as representative of the actual circumstances causing the opening of a pressure relief valve of a high-pressure fuel pump.
- an opening pressure of a pressure limiting valve can be defined in this way.
- the present invention is also based on the observation of the inventors that in conventional pressure relief valves in which a gap between the valve element and valve body is formed in a symmetrical manner, the effective sealing diameter always increases in the course of wear on the valve seat surface, and that as a result at a given pressure in the high pressure range, there is an increase in the opening force acting on the valve element.
- the valve spring again acts on the valve element in the closing direction, the opening pressure of the pressure limiting valve falls and the high-pressure fuel pump is no longer able to generate or maintain the original fuel pressure.
- a line of contact is initially understood to be a line in the mathematically idealized sense, i.e. a line, here an annular line, with the width “zero”. It goes without saying, however, that within the meaning of the application, a line of contact also refers to contact surfaces, here ring-shaped contact surfaces, with a small width that differs from zero, which in particular consists of the force with which the valve element presses against the valve body and the elasticities of the valve element and the valve body and / or in particular result from deformations of the valve element and / or the valve body in the context of wear phenomena.
- the line of contact is understood to be the linear or planar contact geometry between the valve element and the valve body that exists before wear phenomena, in particular before the first-time operation or before the first-time continuous operation of the high-pressure fuel pump.
- Opening direction of the pressure relief valve or for example half a radius of the valve ball in or against the opening direction of the pressure relief valve.
- the features according to the invention are accordingly in particular already implemented within this range and are particularly advantageous within this range for achieving the effects according to the invention.
- the geometry of the gap between valve element and valve body is outside this range for
- valve seat surface would not overcome the disadvantages of the prior art explained at the beginning.
- the certain distance is within the range relevant for wear phenomena, for example within 500 pm in or against the opening direction of the
- Pressure relief valve or for example within half a radius of the valve ball in or against the opening direction of the pressure relief valve.
- Opening direction of the pressure relief valve) of the line of contact is smaller than a distance between the valve element and the valve body at this distance
- the minimum distance can be, for example, 300 pm or, for example, 30% of the radius of the valve ball.
- narrower refers to the relationship between two length-like dimensions, which is also colloquially addressed here.
- the gap is narrower in its narrower position due to the basic shape of the valve element and the valve body and not only due to a surface roughness of the valve element and the valve body.
- a gap at its “narrower” position is at least 5 ⁇ m or at least 0.5% of the radius of the valve ball narrower than the gap at the comparison position.
- the gap according to the invention is downstream of the contact line (where the
- Sealing diameter is larger than at the contact line) is less narrow, there is also a lower pressure drop in the event of a leak. If the line of contact between the valve ball and the sealing seat surface widens in the course of wear in such a way that the less narrow gap area becomes more relevant hydraulically, this only has a reduced effect that increases the effective sealing diameter. Since - on the other hand - the gap according to the invention is narrower upstream of the contact line (where the sealing diameter is therefore smaller than at the contact line), there is also a higher pressure drop in the event of a leak. If the line of contact between the valve ball and the sealing seat surface widens in the course of wear to such an extent that the narrower one
- the opening pressure of the high-pressure fuel pump does not occur or only occurs to a reduced extent in the event of wear.
- the high-pressure fuel pump is able to generate and maintain an undiminished high pressure over its entire service life.
- the high pressure fuel pump according to the invention thus makes a contribution to
- a separate subject matter of the invention is, in addition to a high pressure fuel pump which has the pressure limiting valve explained, also the pressure limiting valve as such and for use in the high pressure fuel pump described.
- Developments of the invention specify the geometry of the valve body and the valve seat surface and of the gap formed between the spherical valve element and the valve body through advantageous features.
- valve seat surface on an edge of the valve body meets a further surface of the valve body arranged downstream of the contact line, the further surface being more inclined away from the opening direction (i.e. the axis of symmetry) of the pressure relief valve than the valve seat surface and the contact line in particular in the area just upstream of the edge of the valve body on the valve seat surface, but in particular the line of contact does not lie directly upstream of the edge of the valve body on the valve seat surface.
- the further surface of the valve body which is separated from the valve seat surface by the edge, is, as it were, a radially outward one expanded or outwardly angled continuation of the valve seat surface of the valve body.
- the gap between valve element and valve body in the entire downstream area between contact line and edge in a symmetrical manner can be the same narrow as in the corresponding area upstream of the contact line
- the gap between valve element and The valve body is less narrow, particularly in the area beyond the edge as seen from the contact line, that is to say further than the gap at the corresponding position upstream of the contact line.
- the fact that the further surface is more away from the opening direction of the pressure relief valve, i.e. more inclined radially outward than the valve seat surface, can be expressed in the fact that the further surface and the valve seat surface meet at the edge at an angle that (as the inner angle of the valve body measured in a plane through the axis of symmetry) is smaller than 180 °, for example not larger than 175 ° or even not larger than 150 °.
- the edge is particularly advantageously effective for the opening behavior of the pressure limiting valve, it can be provided that the contact line lies in the area just upstream of the edge of the valve body on the valve seat surface.
- this wear area then reaches the edge after a certain operating time of the high-pressure fuel pump. If the wear continues, the wear area widens in the
- the area just upstream of the edge can for example only extend up to 500 pm or for example only up to half a radius of the valve ball in the direction upstream of the edge.
- the contact line lies outside the area immediately upstream of the edge of the valve body on the valve seat surface.
- the pressure relief valve is leaking.
- the area immediately upstream of the edge of the valve body can for example only extend up to 25 pm or only up to 50 pm or for example only up to 2.5% or only up to 5% of the radius of the valve ball upstream of the edge of the valve body.
- the further surface of the valve body can be oriented perpendicular to the opening direction of the pressure limiting valve.
- This geometry is particularly effective and, moreover, particularly easy to manufacture.
- Valve element and valve seat surface of the valve body form the valve seat surface into one
- a valve seat surface that is shaped into a recess in some areas is understood to mean a valve seat surface that can have arisen because material has been removed from the inner contour of the valve body based on the basic shape of the inner contour of the valve body (e.g. conical, dome-shaped, etc.).
- the recess is a right-angled recess, that is, from an annular flat surface that is perpendicular to the
- the annular surface can, for example, have a width of at least 100 ⁇ m or 10% of the radius of the valve ball; the cylindrical surface can for example have a height of at least 100 pm or 10% of the radius of the valve ball.
- valve body is widened to form a wear area, as explained above, this wear area then reaches the recess after a certain operating time of the high-pressure fuel pump. If the wear continues, the wear area widens in the upstream direction, in which
- Pressure relief valve remains largely constant or in the desired range.
- the area just upstream of the recess can extend, for example, only up to 500 pm or, for example, only up to half a radius of the valve ball in the direction upstream of the edge.
- the basic shape of the inner contour of the valve body can continue as upstream of the recess, for example conical, dome-shaped, etc. Upstream of the recess is then the
- the valve seat surface can, for example, have a conical or dome-shaped shape or have a conical or dome-shaped basic shape, with an additional recess being formed in the valve seat surface.
- valve seat surface or the inner contour of the valve body which taper at least in an area around the contact line counter to the opening direction of the pressure limiting valve, are also possible in principle.
- valve seat surface has a dome-shaped shape so that the gap between the dome-shaped valve seat surface and the spherical valve element upstream of the contact line is greater than zero and as small as possible.
- the gap between the dome-shaped valve seat surface and the spherical valve element upstream of the contact line is greater than zero and at its widest point is narrower than 50 pm, in particular even narrower than 10 pm and / or narrower than 3 pm.
- Valve seat surface is extended. This leads to a certain change in the effective sealing diameter that is controlled according to the invention
- the spherical valve element then comes to rest in the large contact area on the valve seat surface. Given a further increase in
- the valve body can be made of hardened steel.
- the inner contour of the valve body, in particular the valve seat surface represents a hardened edge layer, for example by carburizing or nitrocarburizing or the like.
- a hardened edge layer for example by carburizing or nitrocarburizing or the like.
- Edge layer not only fundamentally reduces wear, but is also able to intensify an already existing asymmetry of the gap between the valve element and valve body in the course of the operation of the high-pressure fuel pump and the associated wear, which in turn contributes synergistically to the advantageous effect of the invention.
- valve ball or at least the surface of the valve ball is even harder than the valve seat surface or the hardened edge layer of the valve body.
- the valve ball can for example consist of hard metal (tungsten carbide) and / or of a ceramic, for example silicon nitride.

- FIG. 3b shows the pressure limiting valve 42 from FIG. 3a in a state in which there has been considerable wear on the valve seat surface 72 and on the further surface 87. The wear and tear results in a wear and tear on the
- Valve seat surface 72 and come to the other surface 87, while the
- Valve ball 58 is shaped unchanged in this example due to its great hardness.
- valve ball 58 causes the valve ball 58 to no longer just contact a line of contact 90 on the valve seat surface 72, but rather to a relatively wide, annular contact area 92, which represents a wear area 93 and in which the surface of the valve ball 58 is in the valve seat surface 72 as it were
- This wear area 93 is divided into a first one as above
- Contact line 90 lies, and a second wear area 93b, which lies essentially upstream of the previous contact line 90, it can be seen that the second wear area 93b of FIG. 3b does not differ significantly from the second wear area 93b of FIG. 2b; however, the first wear area 93a in FIG. 3b is significantly smaller than the first wear area 93a in FIG. 2b. That the second wear area 93b in this embodiment is larger relative to the first wear area 93a than in that shown in FIG. 2b
- the effective sealing diameter D dw in this embodiment is also smaller than in the comparison example, for example equal to the initial sealing diameter D e n-
- the opening force acting on the valve element 58 is less than in the comparison example, for example so large as before wear, Figure 3a.
- the opening pressure p ö of the used pressure relief valve 42 is then unchanged in comparison with the new pressure relief valve 42, which is shown in FIG. 3a.
- certain seat angles w double angle between the valve seat surface and the axis of symmetry; see FIG. 3a
- w double angle between the valve seat surface and the axis of symmetry; see FIG. 3a
- Ball diameter of 3mm w> 66 °.
- FIG. 4 shows, by way of example, with the filled-in symbols for four different pressure limiting valves 42 according to the invention, the opening pressure p ö of the pressure limiting valve 42 with increasing wear.
- the wear is plotted on the right-hand axis of the illustration as wear volume V with the unit 10 7 pm 3 .
- Valve balls 58 with a diameter of 2 mm and valve seats with a seat angle w of approx. 74 ° were used. The initial
- the opening pressure p ö of this pressure relief valve 42 was 40 MPa, measured on the basis of a leakage rate of 1.5 cm 3 / min. It can be seen that the relative change in the opening pressure p ö for all examined according to the invention
- Pressure relief valves 42 at no point in time is more than 6% of the initial opening pressure p ö .
- a reduction in the opening pressure of up to 10% of the initial opening pressure p o occurred in a comparable measurement.
- FIGS. 5a, 5b and 5c show enlarged longitudinal sections through a second embodiment of a pressure relief valve modified according to the invention 42 in a state in which no wear has yet occurred (FIG. 5a) and in a state in which wear has already occurred (FIGS. 5b and 5c).
- the invention is further developed in that just downstream of the contact line 90 between valve element 58 and
- Valve seat surface 72 of the valve body 68 the valve seat surface 72 to one
- Recess 75 of the valve body 68 is formed.
- it is a right-angled recess 75, i.e. a recess 75 made up of an annular flat surface 75a, which is perpendicular to the opening direction 100 of the pressure relief valve 42, and an adjacent cylindrical surface 75b, which is parallel to the opening direction 100 of the pressure relief valve 42 is, exists.
- the width of the annular surface 75a and the height of the cylindrical surface 75b are each 200 ⁇ m in the example.
- the valve seat surface 72 continues in this example in such a way that it lies on the same straight circular cone as upstream of the recess 75.
- valve ball 75 is safely guided, even if it is deflected further, in such a way that it safely returns to the valve seat without the valve seat being damaged.
- the valve ball 58 closes from large opening strokes (H)
- it usually hits the valve seat at a distance from the axis of symmetry of the pressure limiting valve 42 and then strikes first downstream of the recess 75. It then slides further into the valve seat, which is shown in FIG. 5c by the valve balls 58 ", 58" and 58 "” shown in broken lines.
- the sliding of the valve ball 58 into the valve seat is only associated with very little wear, which cannot lead to leaks in the pressure relief valve 42.
- a vertical impact from the position labeled H in FIG. 5c on an unprotected edge 80 can, however, under certain circumstances lead to plastic deformations of the edge 80 and thus to a reduced tightness of the pressure relief valve 42.
- FIG. 6 shows a third exemplary embodiment. It differs from the previous examples in that the valve seat surface 72 is not conical, thus does not have the shape of a straight truncated cone, but has the shape of a dome, here part of a spherical surface, the radius of which is greater than the radius of the valve ball 58.
- the dome may have been introduced into the valve body 68, for example by stamping.
- FIG. 7a shows the pressure limiting valve 42 of a high-pressure fuel pump when new.
- valve seat surface 72 has a dome-shaped shape. Their radius is slightly larger than the radius of the spherical one
- Valve element 58 the gap 63 between the dome-shaped valve seat surface 72 and the spherical valve element 58 upstream of the contact line 90 is greater than zero (i.e., e.g. greater than 1 ⁇ m) and as small as possible.
- FIG. 7b shows the pressure relief valve 42 from FIG. 7a after a certain amount of wear has occurred on the valve seat surface 72. It can be seen that the spherical valve element 58 has impressed itself in the valve seat surface 72, so that the contact line 90 has widened to the contact surface 92, which in the example of FIG. 7b extends over almost the entire dome-shaped area of the valve seat surface 72. Between the new state (FIG. 7a) and the state of wear shown in FIG. 7b, the sealing diameter of the pressure limiting valve 24 has changed only slightly; ideally it has stayed the same.
- FIG. 7c shows the pressure limiting valve 42 from FIGS. 7a and 7b after further wear has occurred on the valve seat surface 72.
- valve seat surface 72 It can be seen that the spherical valve element 58 is impressed a little further (but only comparatively little further) into the valve seat surface 72.
- the sealing diameter of the pressure relief valve 24 has changed only slightly; ideally it has stayed the same.
- the original contour of the valve seat surface 72 is shown in FIG. 7c only for the purpose of illustration.
- the gap 63 should be designed as small as possible so that the gap 63 is closed even with a small volume of wear and tear, or the contact line 90 widens to form a contact surface 92, so that it extends in particular over the entire dome-shaped area of the valve seat surface 72 . Then the seal diameter changes per wear volume only very slowly. The drop in opening pressure at the valve is then lower or even disappears with the same wear volume.
