Description

本発明は、内燃機関に用いられ、主に燃料を噴射する燃料噴射装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a fuel injection device that is used in an internal combustion engine and mainly injects fuel.

本技術分野の背景技術として、特開2011−137442号公報(特許文献1)がある。この公報には、燃料噴射ノズルにおいて、可動鉄心と弁体の双方と摺動し、閉弁状態では可動鉄心と弁体の間に変位方向の隙間を形成させる中間部材を設けている。このことにより、開弁時に可動鉄心が弁体に衝突するため、噴孔を開くのに必要な距離分の移動時間を短縮でき、開閉弁後に可動鉄心と弁の相対運動が可能となり噴射量の制御性が向上する。   As background art of this technical field, there is JP, 2011-137442, A (patent documents 1). In this publication, the fuel injection nozzle is provided with an intermediate member which slides on both the movable iron core and the valve body, and forms a gap in the displacement direction between the movable iron core and the valve body in the valve closed state. By this, the movable iron core collides with the valve body at the time of valve opening, so that the moving time for the distance necessary to open the injection hole can be shortened, and the relative movement between the movable iron core and the valve becomes possible after the on-off valve. Controllability is improved.

特開2011−137442号公報JP 2011-137442 A

燃料噴射装置では、噴霧の微粒化促進と噴射量の安定化が要求される。噴霧微粒化の悪化要因は、弁体の開き始めの低リフト期間で、燃料流速が遅くなることである。噴射量安定化の悪化要因は、開弁後の弁動作の収束が遅いことである。そのため、燃料噴射装置には、開き始めを急峻にすると同時に、開弁後の弁体の動作を素早く収束させる事が必要となる。特許文献1では、可動鉄心と弁体に変位方向の隙間を設けることにより、通電開始前に可動鉄心のみを動作させ、開弁時に弁体へ衝突時点での衝撃力を作用させ、低リフト機関を短縮し、可動鉄心の弁体の間に中間部材を設けることにより、弁体と可動鉄心の相対運動を可能にし、噴射量が安定化することができるとしている。   In the fuel injection device, atomization promotion of the spray and stabilization of the injection amount are required. The aggravating factor of the spray atomization is that the fuel flow velocity becomes slow in the low lift period when the valve body starts to open. The deterioration factor of the injection amount stabilization is that the convergence of the valve operation after the valve opening is slow. Therefore, in the fuel injection device, it is necessary to make the opening start steep and at the same time to quickly converge the operation of the valve after the valve opening. In Patent Document 1, by providing a gap in the displacement direction between the movable iron core and the valve body, only the movable iron core is operated prior to the start of energization, and an impact force at the time of collision is applied to the valve body at the time of valve opening. By providing the intermediate member between the movable core and the valve body of the movable core, relative movement between the valve body and the movable core is enabled, and the injection amount can be stabilized.

しかしながら、閉弁後に中間部材が閉弁方向へ変位を続け、閉弁待機状態への復帰時するまでの間に、噴射が行われる場合に、上記変位方向の隙間が小さい状態が発生し、開弁挙動が安定しないという課題があった。   However, when the intermediate member continues to displace in the valve closing direction after closing the valve and injection is performed before returning to the valve closing standby state, a state where the gap in the displacement direction is small occurs. There is a problem that the valve behavior is not stable.

そこで、本発明の目的は、開弁時に弁体が可動鉄心から衝撃力を受け、開弁時の低リフト期間を短縮することができる燃料噴射装置において、噴射間隔が短くなった場合でも、開弁時の弁体の動作の安定性を向上し、噴射量の安定化を促進する構造を提供することである。   Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel injection device capable of shortening the low lift period at the time of valve opening, even when the injection interval becomes short, when the valve body receives an impact force from the movable iron core at the time of valve opening. An object of the present invention is to provide a structure that improves the stability of the operation of the valve body at the time of the valve and promotes the stabilization of the injection amount.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明の燃料噴射装置は、流路の開閉を行う弁体と、磁気吸引力により前記弁体を開弁方向に動かす可動鉄心と、閉弁状態において前記可動鉄心と前記弁体との間に予備ストローク隙間(g1)を形成するように構成される中間部材と、前記可動鉄心を開弁方向に付勢する可動鉄心用ばねと、前記中間部材を閉弁方向に付勢する中間部材用ばねと、を備え、前記弁体が閉弁した後に前記可動鉄心が前記中間部材に衝突した場合に前記中間部材の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように前記可動鉄心用ばね及び前記中間部材用ばねのばね力が設定された。   In order to achieve the above object, a fuel injection device according to the present invention comprises a valve body for opening and closing a flow path, a movable iron core for moving the valve body in a valve opening direction by a magnetic attraction force, and the movable iron core in a valve closed state. An intermediate member configured to form a preliminary stroke gap (g1) between the valve body and the valve body, a spring for a movable iron core urging the movable iron core in the valve opening direction, and the valve closing direction of the intermediate member An intermediate member spring for biasing the movable member such that the moving distance of the intermediate member becomes less than the preliminary stroke gap (g1) when the movable iron core collides with the intermediate member after the valve body is closed. The spring force of the spring for the movable core and the spring for the intermediate member is set to.

本発明の構成によれば、閉弁動作中の中間部材の変位量を低減し予備ストローク隙間が小さくなる期間を抑制する事が可能となり、燃料の噴射量の安定化を促進することができる。本発明のその他の構成、作用、効果については以下の実施例において詳細に説明する。   According to the configuration of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the amount of displacement of the intermediate member during the valve closing operation and to suppress the period in which the preparatory stroke gap is reduced, thereby promoting the stabilization of the fuel injection amount. Other configurations, operations and effects of the present invention will be described in detail in the following embodiments.

(動作説明)
次に本実施例における燃料噴射装置100の動作について説明する。主に電磁駆動部400の拡大図である図2と可動部の動作を説明した図3、図4を用いて説明する。なお、図3(a)、図4(a)は同様で図3(b)、図4(b)はt0からt6までの可動鉄心404と中間部材414の動作は同様である。
(Operation explanation)
Next, the operation of the fuel injection device 100 in the present embodiment will be described. The operation will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A and 2B, which are mainly an enlarged view of the electromagnetic drive unit 400, and FIGS. 3 (a) and 4 (a) are the same, and the operations of the movable core 404 and the intermediate member 414 from FIG. 3 (b) and FIG. 4 (b) from t0 to t6 are similar.

(閉弁状態定義、隙間説明)
コイル402に通電されていない閉弁状態では、プランジャロッド102を第1ばね部材405により閉弁方向に付勢する。一方で、第2ばね部材407との付勢力から第3のばね部材406の付勢力を引いた力が開弁方向に働いており、上記の第1ばね部材405の付勢力がこの開弁方向への付勢力より大きいことから、プランジャロッド102が弁座301aに当接して閉弁している。この状態を閉弁静止状態という。このとき、可動鉄心404は中間部材414の外周側段差部414bと当接し閉弁位置に配置されている。なお、本実施例の燃料噴射装置の閉弁状態において、開弁動作に関わる、可動部品に関係する隙間は下記のように構成されている。可動鉄心404の凹部404bの底面404b’とプランジャロッド太径部102a下面102cとの間には隙間g1を有する。
(Closed valve state definition, explanation of clearance)
In the valve closed state where the coil 402 is not energized, the plunger rod 102 is biased in the valve closing direction by the first spring member 405. On the other hand, a force obtained by subtracting the urging force of the third spring member 406 from the urging force with the second spring member 407 is acting in the valve opening direction, and the urging force of the first spring member 405 is the valve opening direction. The plunger rod 102 is in contact with the valve seat 301a to close the valve because the biasing force is larger than the biasing force. This state is referred to as a closed valve stationary state. At this time, the movable iron core 404 abuts on the outer peripheral side step portion 414 b of the intermediate member 414 and is disposed at the valve closing position. In the closed state of the fuel injection device of the present embodiment, the gap related to the movable part related to the valve opening operation is configured as follows. There is a gap g1 between the bottom surface 404b 'of the recess 404b of the movable core 404 and the lower surface 102c of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a.

(通電後動作)
コイル402への通電後(P1)、固定鉄心401、コイル402及びハウジング403によって構成された電磁石により起磁力が発生する。この起磁力により、コイル402を囲むように構成された固定鉄心401、ハウジング403、ノズル体の太径部300d、可動鉄心404によって構成される磁路を周回する磁束が流れる。このとき、可動鉄心404の上端面404cと固定鉄心401の下端面401gとの間に磁気吸引力が作用し、可動鉄心404と中間部材414が固定鉄心401に向けて変位する。その後、可動鉄心404は、プランジャロッド太径部102a下面102cに当接するまでg1だけ変位する(t0からt1の間)。なお、この際、プランジャロッド102は動かない。
(Operation after energizing)
After energization of the coil 402 (P1), a magnetomotive force is generated by the electromagnet constituted by the fixed iron core 401, the coil 402 and the housing 403. Due to this magnetomotive force, a magnetic flux is circulated around a magnetic path constituted by the fixed core 401 configured to surround the coil 402, the housing 403, the large diameter portion 300d of the nozzle body, and the movable core 404. At this time, a magnetic attraction force acts between the upper end surface 404 c of the movable core 404 and the lower end surface 401 g of the fixed core 401, and the movable core 404 and the intermediate member 414 are displaced toward the fixed core 401. Thereafter, the movable core 404 is displaced by g1 until it abuts on the lower surface 102c of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a (between t0 and t1). At this time, the plunger rod 102 does not move.

その後、t1のタイミングにおいて可動鉄心404がプランジャロッド102の太径部下面102cに当接すると、プランジャロッド102は可動鉄心404から衝撃力を受け引き上げられ、プランジャロッド102は弁座301aから離れる。これにより弁座部に隙間が構成され、燃料通路が開く。衝撃力を受け開弁を開始するため、プランジャロッド102の立ち上がりが急峻になる(3A)。このとき、可動鉄心と中間部材414はプランジャロッド102と同じ動作をしている。   Thereafter, when the movable core 404 abuts on the large diameter lower surface 102c of the plunger rod 102 at the timing of t1, the plunger rod 102 receives an impact from the movable core 404 and is pulled up, and the plunger rod 102 separates from the valve seat 301a. Thus, a gap is formed in the valve seat and the fuel passage is opened. In order to receive the impact force and start the valve opening, the rising of the plunger rod 102 becomes steep (3A). At this time, the movable core and the intermediate member 414 perform the same operation as the plunger rod 102.

その後、プランジャロッド102が、g3だけ変位し、t2のタイミングで可動鉄心404の上面404cが、固定鉄心401の下面401gと当接すると、中間部材414は上方へ変位し(3B)、可動鉄心404は下方へ変位する(3B’)し、再度接触した後(3C)再度離間しプランジャロッド102は上方へ(3D)可動鉄心404は下方へ(3D’)変位しその後g3の変位に安定する(3E)。   Thereafter, when the plunger rod 102 is displaced by g3 and the upper surface 404c of the movable core 404 abuts on the lower surface 401g of the fixed core 401 at the timing of t2, the intermediate member 414 is displaced upward (3B). Is displaced downward (3B '), and after contact again (3C), the plunger rod 102 is displaced upward (3D) and the movable core 404 is displaced downward (3D') and then stabilized at the displacement of g3 ((3B)) 3E).

(作用、効果)
本発明において、可動鉄心404とプランジャロッド102にばね力を発生させる第3のばね406の下方に中間部材414があり、可動鉄心404の凹部404bの底面404b’とプランジャロッド102の太径部の上面102bに当接して配置されている。そのため、可動鉄心404、プランジャロッド102、中間部材414が開弁動作をし、タイミングt2において、可動鉄心404と固定鉄心401が衝突した際に、可動鉄心404は閉弁方向へ運動するが、中間部材414及びプランジャロッド102は開弁方向へ運動を続ける。この状態においては、可動鉄心404とプランジャロッド102の間に作用するばね力は発生せず、ばね力が切り離された状態となる。そのために、可動鉄心404の運動に伴って変化するばね力をプランジャロッド102には伝達せず、逆にプランジャロッド102の運動に伴って変化するばね力を可動鉄心404に伝達する事が無く、互いが独立して衝突に伴った振動をする(3B、3B’)。また、再度衝突をする際(3C)にも再度可動鉄心404は閉弁方向に(3D’)、プランジャロッド102は開弁方向に(3D)にバウンドするが、互いが力を授受せず、互いの運動に伴って変化するばね力を作用させること無く運動をすると共にプランジャロッド102と可動鉄心404が有する力が小さい。そのため、互いの運動に伴って変化するばね力が作用されている場合に比べ、可動部品のバウンドの収束が早くなる(3E)。この効果によって、燃料噴射量を安定化することが可能となる。
また、閉弁状態において、可動鉄心404が変位する隙間g1を、中間部材414の凹部高さ414hとプランジャロッド太径部102aの高さh(102aの上面102bと下面102cのなす高さh)の差分によって構成するため、部品寸法により決定するため、組み立て工程での調整が不要となり、組み立て工程を簡素化する事ができる。
(Action, effect)
In the present invention, an intermediate member 414 is provided below the third spring 406 that generates a spring force on the movable iron core 404 and the plunger rod 102, and the bottom surface 404 b ′ of the recess 404 b of the movable iron core 404 and the large diameter portion of the plunger rod 102. It is disposed in contact with the upper surface 102b. Therefore, when the movable iron core 404, the plunger rod 102, and the intermediate member 414 perform the valve opening operation and the movable iron core 404 and the fixed iron core 401 collide at timing t2, the movable iron core 404 moves in the valve closing direction. The member 414 and the plunger rod 102 continue to move in the valve opening direction. In this state, a spring force acting between the movable core 404 and the plunger rod 102 is not generated, and the spring force is separated. Therefore, the spring force that changes with the movement of the movable core 404 is not transmitted to the plunger rod 102, and conversely, the spring force that changes with the movement of the plunger rod 102 is not transmitted to the movable iron core 404, Each other independently vibrates along with the collision (3B, 3B '). Also, when colliding again (3C), the movable iron core 404 bounces in the valve closing direction (3D ') again, and the plunger rod 102 bounces in the valve opening direction (3D), but the two do not exchange force. The movement is performed without exerting a spring force which changes with the movement of each other, and the force which the plunger rod 102 and the movable core 404 have is small. Therefore, the convergence of the bounds of the movable parts is quicker (3E) than when the spring force that changes with the movement of each other is applied. This effect makes it possible to stabilize the fuel injection amount.
Further, in the valve closed state, the gap g1 in which the movable iron core 404 is displaced is the height h of the recess height 414h of the intermediate member 414 and the height h of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a (height h between the upper surface 102b of the 102a and the lower surface 102c). As the difference is determined by the component dimensions, no adjustment in the assembly process is required, and the assembly process can be simplified.

タイミングt3において、コイル402への通電が遮断(P2)されると、磁気力が消失しはじめ、閉弁方向のばねの付勢力により閉弁動作をする。t4のタイミングにてプランジャロッド102の変位が0になった後は、プランジャロッド102は弁座301aに当接して閉弁を完了する。また、中間部材414はプランジャロッド太径部102aの上面102bと当接しているため、変位は0より小さくなることはない。   When the coil 402 is deenergized (P2) at the timing t3, the magnetic force starts to disappear and the valve closing operation is performed by the biasing force of the spring in the valve closing direction. After the displacement of the plunger rod 102 becomes zero at the timing of t4, the plunger rod 102 abuts on the valve seat 301a to complete the valve closing. Further, since the intermediate member 414 is in contact with the upper surface 102b of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a, the displacement does not become smaller than zero.

一方で、可動鉄心404はt4のタイミングで中間部材414の変位が0となった後もさらに閉弁方向へ変位する。t5のタイミングで可動鉄心404が最も閉弁方向へ変位した後は第2のばね部材により再び変位0となるよう開弁方向へ変位する。t6のタイミングでは再び変位が0となり、可動鉄心404と中間部材414は衝突する。   On the other hand, the movable core 404 is further displaced in the valve closing direction even after the displacement of the intermediate member 414 becomes zero at the timing of t4. After the movable core 404 is displaced most in the valve closing direction at the timing of t5, the second spring member is displaced in the valve opening direction so that the displacement becomes 0 again. The displacement becomes zero again at the timing of t6, and the movable core 404 and the intermediate member 414 collide with each other.

図4には閉弁動作における予備ストローク隙間(g1)を確保するための第2のばね部材407、及び第3のばね部材406のばね力が設定していない場合における可動鉄心404と中間部材414の変位を示している。ここで、t6のタイミングで可動鉄心404と中間部材414は衝突して変位が0となった後に、可動鉄心404と中間部材414は開弁方向に移動する。その後、可動鉄心404と中間部材414は予備ストローク隙間(g1)が無くなる方向に動作し、t7’のタイミングで可動鉄心404の底面404b’がプランジャロッド太径部の下面102cに衝突する。このタイミングt7’では予備ストローク隙間(g1)が無くなる。   In FIG. 4, the second spring member 407 for securing the preliminary stroke gap (g1) in the valve closing operation, and the movable iron core 404 and the intermediate member 414 when the spring force of the third spring member 406 is not set. Shows the displacement of the Here, the movable iron core 404 and the intermediate member 414 move in the valve opening direction after the movable iron core 404 and the intermediate member 414 collide with each other at timing t6 and the displacement becomes zero. Thereafter, the movable core 404 and the intermediate member 414 operate in the direction in which the preliminary stroke gap (g1) disappears, and the bottom surface 404b 'of the movable core 404 collides with the lower surface 102c of the plunger rod large diameter portion at the timing of t7'. The preliminary stroke gap (g1) disappears at this timing t7 '.

中間部材414と中間部材414はt7’からt8の間で予備ストローク隙間(g1)よりさらに開弁方向へ変位し、予備ストローク隙間(g1)がない状態が一定時間継続する状態となる。この状態において、次のパルス信号が送られると、予備ストローク隙間(g1)が無いため、可動鉄心404がプランジャロッド102を開弁することができず、燃料噴射ができなくなる虞がある。   The intermediate member 414 and the intermediate member 414 are further displaced in the valve opening direction from the preliminary stroke gap (g1) between t7 'and t8, and a state in which there is no preliminary stroke gap (g1) continues for a certain time. In this state, when the next pulse signal is sent, the movable iron core 404 can not open the plunger rod 102 and there is a possibility that fuel injection can not be performed because there is no spare stroke gap (g1).

一方で、図3には閉弁動作における予備ストローク隙間(g1)を確保するための第2のばね部材407、及び第3のばね部材406のばね力が設定してある場合を示している。中間部材414はt6からt7の間、予備ストローク隙間(g1)より開弁方向へ変位することなく第3のばね部材406のばね力により中間部材414が再び閉弁方向に変位し、結果として可動鉄心404の予備ストローク隙間(g1)を確保することができる。   On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows a case where the spring force of the second spring member 407 and the third spring member 406 for securing the preliminary stroke gap (g1) in the valve closing operation is set. During the period from t6 to t7, the intermediate member 414 is again displaced in the valve closing direction by the spring force of the third spring member 406 without being displaced in the valve opening direction from the preliminary stroke gap (g1), resulting in movable The preliminary stroke clearance (g1) of the iron core 404 can be secured.

すなわち、本実施例の電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、流路の開閉を行う弁体303と、磁気吸引力により弁体303を開弁方向に動かす可動鉄心404と、閉弁状態において可動鉄心404と弁体303との間に予備ストローク隙間(g1)を形成するように構成される中間部材414と、を備えている。また電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、可動鉄心404を開弁方向に付勢する可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)と、中間部材414を閉弁方向に付勢する中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)と、を備えている。   That is, the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100) of the present embodiment is movable in the valve closed state with the valve body 303 for opening and closing the flow path, the movable iron core 404 for moving the valve body 303 in the valve opening direction by the magnetic attraction force. And an intermediate member 414 configured to form a preliminary stroke clearance (g1) between the iron core 404 and the valve body 303. Further, the electromagnetic valve (fuel injection device 100) is for the movable core spring (second spring member 407) for biasing the movable core 404 in the valve opening direction, and for the intermediate member for biasing the intermediate member 414 in the valve closing direction. And a spring (third spring member 406).

そして、中間部材414が予備ストローク隙間(g1)を小さくする方向に移動した場合に予備ストローク隙間(g1)を確保するための中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力を設定されている。より具体的には弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。特に、弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が最大速度で中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。   When the intermediate member 414 moves in the direction to reduce the preliminary stroke gap (g1), the spring force of the intermediate member spring (third spring member 406) for securing the preliminary stroke gap (g1) is set. ing. More specifically, when the movable iron core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 after the valve body 303 is closed, the movable iron core spring (second The spring force of the spring member 407) and the spring for the intermediate member (third spring member 406) are set. In particular, when the movable iron core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 at the maximum speed after the valve body 303 is closed, the movable iron core spring (second The spring force of the spring member 407) and the spring for the intermediate member (third spring member 406) are set.

また電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)が取り付けられる図示しないコモンレールは目標とする燃料圧力が設定されている。そして、想定されるコモンレールの燃料圧力が最大の場合で、本実施例の電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。特に最大速度で衝突した場合であることが望ましい。これにより、閉弁初期状態への復帰が早くなり燃料噴射量の安定性が向上する。   The target fuel pressure is set to a common rail (not shown) to which the solenoid valve (the fuel injection device 100) is attached. Then, when the fuel pressure of the common rail assumed is maximum, the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100) of this embodiment is intermediate when the movable iron core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 after the valve body 303 closes. The spring forces of the movable iron core spring (second spring member 407) and the intermediate member spring (third spring member 406) are set such that the moving distance of the member 414 is less than the preliminary stroke gap (g1). . In particular, it is desirable that the collision occurs at the maximum speed. As a result, the return to the valve closing initial state is quickened, and the stability of the fuel injection amount is improved.

なお、本発明者らは閉弁動作において予備ストローク隙間(g1)を確保するために、閉弁動作における可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突する最大衝突速度Vが以下の数式1に示す関係にある場合に、第3のばね部材のばね力F3が以下の数式2の関係を満たす必要があることを見出した。そこで、本実施例の電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、以下の数式1、数式2の関係が成り立つようにプランジャロッド用ばね、可動鉄心用ばね、中間部材用ばねのばね力が設定される。   In order to secure the preliminary stroke gap (g1) in the valve closing operation, the present inventors have the relation shown in the following Equation 1 that the maximum collision velocity V at which the movable iron core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 in the valve closing operation. It has been found that in some cases, the spring force F3 of the third spring member needs to satisfy the relationship of Equation 2 below. Therefore, the spring force of the spring for the plunger rod, the spring for the movable core, and the spring for the intermediate member is set such that the relationship of the following Equation 1 and Equation 2 holds in the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100) of this embodiment. .

数式1、数式2においては、プランジャロッド用ばね(第1のばね部材405)のばね力をF1、可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)のばね力をF2、中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力をF3、可動鉄心404の上流側と可動鉄心404の下流側の差圧力をF4、プランジャロッド用ばね(第1のばね部材405)のばね定数をk1、可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)のばね定数をk2、中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね定数をk3、中間部材414の質量をm1、可動鉄心404の質量をm2、弁体303の質量をm3とした。なお、g1、g2は前記の通り以下の関係となっている。   In Formulas 1 and 2, the spring force of the plunger rod spring (first spring member 405) is F1, the spring force of the movable core spring (second spring member 407) is F2, and the intermediate member spring (first The spring force of the third spring member 406) is F3, the differential pressure between the upstream side of the movable core 404 and the downstream side of the movable core 404 is F4, the spring constant of the plunger rod spring (first spring member 405) k1, movable The spring constant of the core spring (second spring member 407) is k2, the spring constant of the intermediate member spring (third spring member 406) is k3, the mass of the intermediate member 414 is m1, and the mass of the movable core 404 is m2 The mass of the valve body 303 is m3. Note that g1 and g2 have the following relationship as described above.

g1は閉弁時におけるプランジャロッド太径部102aの下面102cと可動鉄心404の凹部404bの底面404b’の間の隙間、g2は可動鉄心404の上端面404cと固定鉄心401の下端面401gとの間の隙間である。
V={(k1-k3)*g2^2+(F1-F3+F4)*g2}/(m2+m3)・・・(1)
F2>{(1/2*(m1+m2)*V^2-1/2*(k2-k3)*G1^2)/G1}+F3・・・(2)
なお、可動鉄心404には流路が形成されているが、これが絞りとなって圧力損失が生じるため、上流側と下流側とで差圧が生じる。そして、可動鉄心404の差圧力をF4とは、閉弁動作における可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突する最大衝突速度Vにおいて、生じる差圧力を示す。
g1 is a gap between the lower surface 102c of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a and the bottom surface 404b 'of the recess 404b of the movable core 404 at the time of valve closing; g2 is the upper end surface 404c of the movable core 404 and the lower end surface 401g of the fixed core 401; There is a gap between them.
V = {(k1-k3) * g2 ^ 2 + (F1-F3 + F4) * g2} / (m2 + m3) (1)
F2> {(1/2 * (m1 + m2) * V ^ 2-1 / 2 * (k2-k3) * G1 ^ 2) / G1} + F3 (2)
In addition, although the flow path is formed in the movable iron core 404, since this becomes a squeeze and a pressure loss arises, a pressure difference arises between an upstream side and a downstream side. The differential pressure of the movable core 404 is denoted by F 4 at the maximum collision velocity V at which the movable core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 in the valve closing operation.

したがって、予備ストローク隙間g1よりも閉弁動作における可動鉄心404の上方変位量が小さくなるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)のばね力F2及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力F3を設定することで、隙間g1が短くなる状態が抑制されるため、開弁動作の安定性が向上する。   Therefore, the spring force F2 of the movable iron core spring (second spring member 407) and the intermediate member spring (third spring) so that the amount of upward displacement of the movable iron core 404 in the valve closing operation becomes smaller than the preliminary stroke gap g1. By setting the spring force F3 of the member 406), the state in which the gap g1 is shortened is suppressed, so the stability of the valve opening operation is improved.

また、本実施例の構成において、中間部材414の外径414Dは、固定鉄心の内径401Dよりも小さくしている。そのために、燃料噴射装置を組立時、隙間g1を中間部材414の段差高さ414hとプランジャロッド太径部102aの高さhとで決めた後に、ばね力調整部材106と第1のばね部材405が挿入されていない状態で、プランジャキャップ410、プランジャロッド102、第3のばね部材406、中間部材414を予め一体にして燃料噴射装置内に組み入れることができるために、組立を容易にしながらも安定した隙間g1の管理が可能となる。本実施例においては、中間部材414の太径部414Dが固定鉄心401の内径401Dよりも小さくなるようにしたが、予め組立てる部材の最外径が小さくなっていればよく、プランジャキャップ410の最外径が中間部材414の最外径414Dよりも大きい場合は、前記プランジャキャップ410の最外径を固定鉄心401の内径401Dよりも小さくすれば良い。   Further, in the configuration of the present embodiment, the outer diameter 414D of the intermediate member 414 is smaller than the inner diameter 401D of the fixed iron core. Therefore, when the fuel injection device is assembled, the gap g1 is determined by the step height 414h of the intermediate member 414 and the height h of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102a, and then the spring force adjustment member 106 and the first spring member 405 The plunger cap 410, the plunger rod 102, the third spring member 406, and the intermediate member 414 can be integrated in advance into the fuel injection device in a state in which the valve is not inserted. It is possible to manage the gap g1. In the present embodiment, the large diameter portion 414D of the intermediate member 414 is smaller than the inner diameter 401D of the fixed core 401, but the outermost diameter of the members to be assembled in advance may be smaller. When the outer diameter is larger than the outermost diameter 414D of the intermediate member 414, the outermost diameter of the plunger cap 410 may be smaller than the inner diameter 401D of the fixed core 401.

なお、本実施例において、可動鉄心404凹部404bが無く404cと同一の面であっても、本実施例と同一の作用効果を得ることが出来る。可動鉄心404の凹部404bを設けることによって、中間部材414をより下側に配置する事が可能となり、プランジャロッド102の開閉弁方向の長さを短くする事が可能となり、精度の良いプランジャロッド102を構成する事が可能になるためである。   In the present embodiment, even if the movable iron core 404 has no recess 404b and the same surface as 404c, the same effect as that of the present embodiment can be obtained. By providing the concave portion 404b of the movable core 404, the intermediate member 414 can be disposed at the lower side, and the length of the plunger rod 102 in the opening / closing valve direction can be shortened, and the plunger rod 102 with high accuracy. It is possible to configure the

図5を用いて、本発明の第2の実施例の構成について説明する。図中、第1実施例と付与される数字が同じ部品については構成作用効果に差異はないため説明を省略する。   The configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, regarding the parts given the same numerals as in the first embodiment, the description is omitted because there is no difference in the construction effect.

閉弁状態において、可動鉄心404は中央部の下端面側から上端面側に窪んだ凹部404b’が形成されている、凹部404b’の底面404eには、中心軸線100aに沿う方向に可動鉄心404の上端面側まで貫通する貫通孔404eが構成されている。また、貫通孔404fには凸形状の中間部材414が下流側から挿入され太径部の上面414bが可動鉄心404の凹部404b’と当接する。さらに中間部材414には中心軸線100aに沿う方向に貫通する貫通孔414eが構成されており、貫通孔414eには挿通するようにプランジャロッド102が設けられている。閉弁状態において、中間部材414の上端面414cとプランジャロッド太径部102fの下端面102gは当接している。   In the valve closed state, the movable iron core 404 has a recess 404b 'which is recessed from the lower end face side to the upper end face of the central portion. The bottom face 404e of the recess 404b' is movable iron core 404 in the direction along the central axis 100a. The through-hole 404e which penetrates to the upper end surface side is comprised. Further, the intermediate member 414 having a convex shape is inserted into the through hole 404 f from the downstream side, and the upper surface 414 b of the large diameter portion abuts on the concave portion 404 b ′ of the movable iron core 404. Furthermore, a through hole 414 e penetrating in a direction along the central axis 100 a is formed in the intermediate member 414, and a plunger rod 102 is provided in the through hole 414 e so as to be inserted. In the valve closed state, the upper end surface 414c of the intermediate member 414 and the lower end surface 102g of the plunger rod large diameter portion 102f are in contact with each other.

中間部材414の太径部上面414bから上端面414fまでの高さは可動鉄心404の凹部の底面404eから上端面404cまでの高さよりもg1だけ大きい。   The height from the large diameter upper surface 414b of the intermediate member 414 to the upper end surface 414f is larger than the height from the bottom surface 404e of the recess of the movable core 404 to the upper end surface 404c by g1.

ここで、第3ばね部材406の構成についても説明しておく。
第3ばね部材406は可動鉄心404の凹部404’に収容されている。第3ばね部材406の一端部は可動鉄心404の凹部404b’に収納されているストッパ415の中央部の上端側から下端面側に窪んだ凹部の底面415bに係止され、第3ばね部材406の他端面は中間部材414の下端面414cに係止されている。すなわち、本実施例の電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、中間部材414を開弁方向に付勢する第3ばね部材406を備え、第3ばね部材406により中間部材414は弁体303及び可動鉄心404を開弁方向に付勢することで、閉弁状態における予備ストローク隙間(g1)が形成されることを特徴とする。
Here, the configuration of the third spring member 406 is also described.
The third spring member 406 is accommodated in the recess 404 ′ of the movable core 404. One end of the third spring member 406 is engaged with the bottom surface 415 b of the recess recessed from the upper end side to the lower end side of the central portion of the stopper 415 stored in the recess 404 b ′ of the movable core 404. The other end surface is locked to the lower end surface 414 c of the intermediate member 414. That is, the solenoid valve (the fuel injection device 100) of the present embodiment includes the third spring member 406 for biasing the intermediate member 414 in the valve opening direction, and the third spring member 406 can move the valve body 303 and the movable member 414. By biasing the iron core 404 in the valve opening direction, a preliminary stroke gap (g1) in the valve closed state is formed.

本実施例では、ストッパ415の下端面415cとノズル体300bの段差部300dは当接しているが、ストッパ415は可動鉄心404に固定され、ノズル体300bの段差部300dと隙間を形成している場合もある。
また、中間部材414の下端面414cに対して予備ストローク隙間(g1)よりも大きい隙間(g2)を介してストッパ415のストッパ部415aが配置されている。
In the present embodiment, the lower end surface 415c of the stopper 415 abuts on the stepped portion 300d of the nozzle body 300b, but the stopper 415 is fixed to the movable iron core 404 and forms a gap with the stepped portion 300d of the nozzle body 300b. In some cases.
Further, the stopper portion 415a of the stopper 415 is disposed with respect to the lower end surface 414c of the intermediate member 414 via a gap (g2) larger than the preliminary stroke gap (g1).

本実施例においても、実施例1と同様に弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。特に、弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が最大速度で中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。   Also in the present embodiment, when the movable core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 after the valve body 303 is closed as in the first embodiment, the moving distance of the intermediate member 414 is less than the preliminary stroke gap (g1). The spring force of the movable core spring (second spring member 407) and the intermediate member spring (third spring member 406) is set. In particular, when the movable iron core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 at the maximum speed after the valve body 303 is closed, the movable iron core spring (second The spring force of the spring member 407) and the spring for the intermediate member (third spring member 406) are set.

また電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は想定されるコモンレールの燃料圧力が最大の場合で、本実施例の電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は、弁体303が閉弁した後に可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突した場合に中間部材414の移動距離が予備ストローク隙間(g1)未満となるように可動鉄心用ばね(第2のばね部材407)及び中間部材用ばね(第3のばね部材406)のばね力が設定されている。特に最大速度で衝突した場合であることが望ましい。これにより、閉弁初期状態への復帰が早くなり燃料噴射量の安定性が向上する。   In the case where the fuel pressure of the common rail assumed is maximum at the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100), the movable iron core 404 is in the middle after the valve body 303 is closed in the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100) of this embodiment. The movable iron core spring (second spring member 407) and the intermediate member spring (third spring member 406) so that the moving distance of the intermediate member 414 becomes smaller than the preliminary stroke gap (g1) when colliding with the member 414. The spring force of is set. In particular, it is desirable that the collision occurs at the maximum speed. As a result, the return to the valve closing initial state is quickened, and the stability of the fuel injection amount is improved.

さらに電磁弁(燃料噴射装置100)は閉弁動作における可動鉄心404が中間部材414に衝突する最大衝突速度Vが実施例の数式1、数式2の関係を満たすように設定される。   Further, the solenoid valve (fuel injection device 100) is set such that the maximum collision velocity V at which the movable core 404 collides with the intermediate member 414 in the valve closing operation satisfies the relationship of Equation 1 and Equation 2 of the embodiment.
