- the electrical resistivity is also almost zero between the body of the solenoid actuator 14 and the body of the control valve 20, between the body of the control valve 20 and spacer 24 and also between the body of the control valve 20 and the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- a non-resistive surface coating or very low resistance that is to say, with zero or very low ohmic value, such as for example having a maximum resistivity of the order of one ohm, can be arranged between these parts metal for reasons of protection against premature wear of metal parts.
- FIG. 2 represents a first example of the modeling of the equivalent overall electrical resistivity R7 of the fuel injector 10 according to the arrangement of the resistive surface coatings on the contact surfaces S presented according to the first embodiment illustrated by FIG. 1.

- the overall electrical resistivity R7 of the first topology illustrated in FIG. 2 varies as a function of the position of the injection needle 38.
- a first value R7A of the overall electrical resistivity R7 is measurable when the injection needle 38 is in contact with its seat 34.
- the injector 10 is said in closed position. This occurs during a first phase Tien start of injection cycle and during a fifth phase T5 at the end of the injection cycle.
- the first switch S1 is closed since the injection needle 38 is in contact with its seat 34, while the second switch S2 is open since the injection needle 38 It is not in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- the injector 10 When the injection needle 38 makes its way towards the ceiling of the control chamber 30, a second value R7B of the overall electrical resistivity R7 is measurable.
- the injector 10 is then in a second phase T2 corresponding to the start of injection regime.
- the first switch S1 is open since the injection needle 38 is no longer in contact with its seat 34, and the second switch S2 is also open since the injection needle 38 is not not in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- the injector 10 When the injection needle 38 has completed its travel in high abutment with the ceiling of the control chamber 30, the injector 10 is in a third phase T3 in steady state injection. During this third phase T3, a third R7C value of the overall electrical resistivity R7 is measurable. During this third phase T3, the first switch S1 is open since the injection needle 38 is no longer in contact with its seat 34, and the second switch S2 is closed since the injection needle 38 is in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30. When the injector 10 is in end of injection mode, the injection needle 38 travels from the ceiling of the control chamber 30 to its seat 34. The injector 10 is in a fourth phase T4.
- the value of the overall electrical resistivity R7 is equivalent to the second value R7B identified during the injection start phase since the first switch S1 and the second switch S2 are open, the injection needle 38 being neither in contact with its seat 34 nor in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- a first solution may be to access the measurement of the overall electrical resistivity R7 between the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12 and a wire connected to the body of the solenoid actuator 14.
- This wire may advantageously join the part external of the injector 10 following a set of grooves in the metal parts leading to a connector accessible by a means for measuring the overall electrical resistivity R7.
- This wire accessible from the outside of the injector 10 is therefore the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity R7.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 may be of the order of a few tens of ohms to tens of kilo-ohms with in particular preferably a value of R2 twice greater than the value of R3. This order of magnitude allows an optimal detection of the movement of the injection needle 38 and more particularly of being able to determine the travel time of the injection needle 38 between its closed position and its high abutment position and Conversely.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R4, R5 and R6 may be greater than one hundred kilo-ohms in order to limit the leakage currents to the body of the injector 12 during the measurement phases.
- a second solution may be to add an additional electrical resistance between the body of the solenoid actuator 14 and one of the control wires 15 of the solenoid actuator. In this way, the measurement of the overall electrical resistivity R7 is done directly between the control wire connected to this additional electrical resistance and the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12. In other words, the control wire connected to this additional electrical resistance is the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity R7 of the injector 10.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 may be of the order of several tens of ohms with especially preferably a value of R2 twice as large as the value of R3. This order of magnitude allows an optimal detection of the movement of the injection needle 38 and more particularly to be able to determine the travel time of the injection needle 38 between its closed position and its high abutment position and vice versa.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R4, R5 and R6 may be greater than ten kilo-ohms in order to limit the leakage currents to the body of the injector 12 during the measurement phases.
- a third solution may be to add between the body of the solenoid actuator 14 and one of the control wires 15 of the solenoid actuator a parallel electronic structure comprising a first resistor in series with a first diode and a second resistor in series. with a second diode mounted in opposite direction to the first diode.
- the control wire connected to this electronic structure is the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity R7 of the injector 10.
- the electrical mass can be defined by the body of the injector 12. This topology advantageously makes it possible to keep constant the current flowing in the injector 10 during the opening and closing phases of the injection needle 38.
- this topology makes it possible to maintain a constant absolute value of the current of control of the solenoid actuator at control voltage differences supported by the solenoid of the actuator.
- the ratio between the values of the first resistance and the second resistance of this parallel structure is ten.
- the greatest resistance value is attributed to the first resistance which is traversed by the current flowing in the injector 10 when the injection needle38 is in the closed position.
- the polarization of the first diode allows the circulation of the body current of the solenoid actuator 14 to the seat of the injection needle 34 when the injection needle 38 is in the closed position, the current ending its travel through the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R1, R2 and R3 may be of the order of a few tens of ohms with, in particular, preferably a value of R2 twice as large as the value of R3. This order of magnitude allows an optimal detection of the movement of the injection needle 38 and more particularly to be able to determine the travel time of the injection needle 38 between its closed position and its high abutment position and vice versa.
- the orders of magnitude of the resistors R4, R5 and R6 may be greater than ten kilo-ohms in order to limit the leakage currents to the body of the injector 12 during the measurement phases.
- the fuel injector 10 arranged with the resistive surface coatings 40 can be diagnosed.
- the invention makes it possible to propose a first method for measuring the position and the speed of the injection needle 38 of the injector 10 and also to measure the degree of wear of the resistive surface coatings 40.
- the value of overall resistivity R7 of the injector 10 measured at a given instant can be compared with the 3 ohmic values of global electrical resistivity R7A, R7B and R7C known. If the measured ohmic value is comparable to the first value R7A then the injection needle 38 is in its closed position, that is to say in the low abutment in its seat 34.
- the injection needle 38 in high abutment, that is to say in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30. If the measured ohmic value is comparable to the second value R7B then the needle Injection 38 is in its course.
- the direction of the race can be determined according to the previous value, different from R7B, measured. If the previous value of the measured global electrical resistivity R7 was the first value R7A, then the direction of travel of the injection needle 38 is said amount, that is to say the seat of the needle. injection 34 to the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- the direction of travel of the injection needle is said to be descending, that is, that is, from the ceiling of the control chamber 30 towards the seat of the injection needle 34.
- an extremely fast sampling for example of the order of one tenth of the micro second, makes it possible to determine the temporal flow T between each change in the value of the overall electrical resistivity R7 measured.
- the identified absolute value of the smallest result resulting from the difference between the value of the measured overall electrical resistivity R7 with respectively the first value R7A, the second value R7B and the third value R7C at a given instant is proportional to the degree of wear of the resistive surface coatings 40.
- the wear of the resistive surface coatings 40 causes a drift of the overall electrical resistivity R7 of the injector. This drift can make it possible to activate an alert signal in the event of a value estimated to be a nuisance for the operation of the injector 10.
- a periodic self-calibration method can make it possible to regularly update the reference values of the overall electrical resistivity R7, that is to say an update of the 3 ohmic values of global electrical resistivity R7A, R7B and R7C, thus making it possible to overcome the drifts of the overall electrical resistivity R7 due for example to the temperature
- FIG. 4 represents a second example of the modeling of the equivalent overall electric resistivity RI 5 of the fuel injector 10 according to a second arrangement of the resistive surface coatings 40 on the contact surfaces S.
- the resistive surface coatings are located:
- the electrical resistivity between the body of the injector 12 and the body of the injection nozzle 26 is almost zero. This means that there is no resistive surface coating between these metal parts.
- a non-resistive surface coating or a very low resistance coating that is to say with a zero or very low resistance value, such as for example having a maximum resistivity of the order of one ohm, can be arranged between these two metal parts for reasons of protection against premature wear of metal parts.
- the electrical resistivity between the body of the injector 12 and the body of the control valve 20 is almost zero. This means that there is no resistive surface coating between these metal parts.

- a non-resistive surface coating or very low resistance that is to say Ohmic null or very low, such as having a maximum resistivity of the order of one ohm, can be arranged between these two metal parts for reasons of protection against premature wear of metal parts.
- the equivalent electrical circuit of the injector 10 comprises a first contact point 1A equivalent to the electric potential of the injection needle 38, the spacer 24 and the wall of the control chamber 32, a second contact point 1B equivalent to the electrical potential of the seat 34 of the injection needle, a third contact point IC equivalent to the electric potential of the body of the injection nozzle 26 and the ceiling of the control chamber 30, a first switch SI 1 connected between the first contact point 1A and the third contact point IC, a second switch S 12 connected between the second contact point 1B and the third contact point IC, a first resistor R1 connected between the first contact point IC 1A contact point and the second contact point 1B, a second resistor RI 2 connected between the first contact point 1A and the third contact point IC, a third resistor RI 3 conne and a fourth resistor RI 4 connected between the first contact point 1A and the third contact point IC.

- the body of the injector 12 can act as an electrical mass.
- the overall electrical resistivity R1 of the topology illustrated in FIG. 4 varies as a function of the position of the injection needle 38.
- a first value R15A of the overall electrical resistivity R15 is measurable when the injection needle 38 is in contact with its seat 34.
- the injector 10 is said in the closed position. This occurs during a first phase T1 at the beginning of the injection cycle and at a fifth phase T15 at the end of the injection cycle.
- the second switch S12 is closed since the injection needle 38 is in contact with its seat 34, while the first switch SU is open since the injection needle 38 is not in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- a second value R15B of the overall electrical resistivity R15 is measurable.
- the injector 10 is then in a second phase T12 corresponding to the start of injection regime.
- the second switch S12 is open since the injection needle 38 is no longer in contact with its seat, and the first switch SU is also open since the injection needle 38 is not in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- the injector 10 is in a third phase T13 in steady state injection.
- a third value R15C of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 is measurable.
- the second switch S 12 is open since the injection needle 38 is no longer in contact with its seat 34, and the first switch S1 is closed since the injection needle 38 is in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- This third value R15C overall electrical resistivity R15 is then almost zero.
- the injector 10 is in end of injection mode, the injection needle 38 runs from the ceiling of the control chamber 30 to its seat.
- the injector is in a fourth phase T14.
- the value of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 is equivalent to the second value R15B identified during the injection start phase since the first switch S S and the second switch S 12 are open, the needle of FIG. injection 38 not being in contact with its seat 34, or in contact with the ceiling of the control chamber 30.
- a first solution may consist in accessing the measurement of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 between the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12 and a wire connected to the wall of the control chamber 32.
- This wire may advantageously join the outer part of the injector by following a set of grooves in the metal parts leading to a connector accessible by a measuring means of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5.
- the use of the channels of the injector as passage of the wire or the micro piercing of the body of the injector 12 up to to the control chamber 28 allowing the passage of the wire may also be possible.
- This wire accessible from the outside of the injector is the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity R15.
- a second solution may be to add an additional electrical resistance between the wall of the control chamber 32 and one of the control wires 15 of the solenoid actuator.
- the measurement of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 is accessible between the control wire of the solenoid actuator connected to this additional electrical resistance and the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12.
- the wire control connected to this electrical resistance is the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 of the injector 10.
- a third solution may be to add between the wall of the control chamber 32 and one of the control wires 15 of the solenoid actuator a parallel electronic structure comprising a first resistor in series with a first diode and a second resistor in series with a second diode mounted in the opposite direction to the first diode.
- the control wire connected to this electronic structure is the measuring wire of the overall electrical resistivity R15 of the injector.
- the electrical mass is defined by the body of the injector 12.
- this topology makes it possible to maintain a constant absolute value of the control current of the solenoid actuator at control voltage differences supported by the solenoid of the actuator.
- the ratio between the values of the first resistance and the second resistance of this parallel structure is ten.
- the greatest resistance value is attributed to the first resistance which is traversed by the current flowing in the injector 10 when the injection needle 38 is in the closed position.
- the polarization of the first diode allows the circulation of the body current of the solenoid actuator 14 to the seat of the injection needle 34 when the injection needle 38 is in the closed position, the current ending its travel through the electric mass defined by the body of the injector 12.
- the measurement of the overall electrical resistivity RI 5 is accessible between the control wire of the solenoid actuator and the electrical mass defined by the body of the injector 12.
