Definitions
- the present invention relates to the protection of injection ramps, called common or common-rail ramps, which are mounted on internal combustion engines.
- the so-called common-rail injection systems that are used to supply an internal combustion engine with fuel comprise, in particular, a pressurized fuel storage ramp which supplies the injectors with fuel.
- This ramp is outside the motor. It is necessary to protect this ramp to avoid having any fuel fuits following a shock on the ramp, resulting for example from a fi rmal shock of the vehicle comprising a motor with such an injection system.
- Injection rail protectors have already been used, such as, for example, protectors in the form of a metal sheet fixed to the engine. These protectors are not completely satisfactory because they only take into account the impact resistance aspect.
- the invention provides a device for protecting against the shocks of a common injection rail mounted on an internal combustion engine comprising means for fixing a component on the device.
- the attachment means may be made in part of plastic, - the attachment means may be made in part of metal material, the device may comprise a metal frame, the frame metal may consist of a steel sheet, - the fixing means may be made in part of plastic by overmoulding of the metal frame.
- the attachment means may comprise mounting lugs of a cable.
- the component may be a coil supply module.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 there is shown a component 1 of an internal combustion engine.
- This component 1 is a casting part which comprises in particular ducts 2 of air intake.
- This component 1 may be a nozzle holder block.
- the injector spacer 1 is attached to the engine. It comprises injector wells 3 in which injectors 10 are fitted. Injector wells 3 are aligned with each other in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the injector holder block 1.
- a common rail 1 1 is mounted on the injectors 1 0.
- the com mune ramp 1 1 consists of an elongate tube. It comprises a supply pipe 12 fuel pressurized by an injection pump not shown, and it distributes the fuel through orifices 1 3 connecting to the injectors 1 0.
- the ramp 1 1 is disposed above the injectors 1 0, above the injector holder block 1.
- a protective device for example a protective cover 20.
- the protective cover 20 comprises means for protecting the injection rail.
- a component on this cover 20 for example means for mounting a not shown coil supply module.
- fixing means may be made in part of plastic, for example in the context of a plastic molding operation. They can also be made partly in metallic material.
- the cover 20 consists of a metal frame 30 to resist these shocks, and a portion 40 overmolded plastic.
- the metal reinforcement 30 consists of a sheet of the cut and folded steel sheet type comprising columns 31, bearing ends 32, reinforcing parts 33a, 33b and 33c. of the overmoulded part 40, passages 35 for the screws 7 for fastening the cap 20 to the injector holder block 1, a main part 34.
- the metal reinforcement 30 In order to manufacture the metal reinforcement 30, a sheet metal plate is first cut to define the bearing ends 32, the columns 31 and the reinforcement portions 33a, 33b and 33c of the plastic part 40. folding the columns 31 to give them their tubular form. The columns 31 are then bent at about 90 degrees to the main part 34 and the main part 34 is bent at an angle of less than 90 degrees in the direction of the fixing columns along the line 34.
- the metal reinforcement 30 comprises two columns 31 and four support ends 32, two of which are arranged in front of the columns 31 once the main part 34 has been folded.
- the metal armature 30 is folded in the shape of a "U” or "V", so that the ends of the columns 31 and the bearing ends 32 form the ends of the U or Vé that rest on the hold injector door 1.
- the plastic part 40 surrounds the metal frame 30 with the exception of the columns 31 and the support ends 32, and it comprises a support interface 42, lugs 43 and support lugs 44 arranged at the ends of the protective hood.
- the plastic part 40 is made by overmolding around the metal frame 30; the metal armature 30 is first placed in a not shown mold, then a plastic material is injected which covers the metal armature 30.
- the advantage of this overmolding is that the plastic part 40 can integrate support or maintenance functions in relation to other components.
- the tabs 43 allow to fix and guide a not shown cable.
- there is a support interface 42 for fixing for example a reel supply module not shown.
- This portion 40 may be manufactured by any technique well known per se in the field of the implementation of plastics by molding.
- the metal frame 30 reinforces the plastic part, not only during shocks, but also for its support functions.
- the metal reinforcing portion 33a consolidates the support interface 42 made of plastic.
- the injector holder shim 1 comprises bosses 5 provided for receiving the ends of the columns 31.
- the bosses 5 are drilled and tapped to receive a screw 7 for fixing the protective cover 20 to the injector holder block 1.
- the bearing ends 32 of the metal frame 30 bear on the inter-ducts 4 of the injector holder block 1.
- the ends of the columns 31 are bevelled so that during tightening the force is distributed on the columns 31 and on the bearing ends 32. It thus limits the vibratory aspects of the cover 20 on the injector holder block 1.
- the protective cover 20 is arranged to protect the common rail 1 1 against shocks. Indeed, the columns 31 are close to the ramp 1 1 and are sized to withstand these shocks.
- the metal reinforcement 30 is a thick sheet of about 4 mm thick on which one carries out operations of simple formatting, and whose major role is to resist Fural shocks that may occur during an accident.
- the metal reinforcement 30 can serve as a reinforcement of the plastic part 40 for fixing other elements such as a coil feed module.
- the plastic part 40 comes to bring a good finish to the hood, and it protects the metal frame 30 against the outside environment.
- it may include support interfaces of other components of the engine and / or the vehicle.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and it can be carried out integrally by plastic molding.
