Detailed Description of the Figures
The present invention proposes a fuel distributor (10) for a fuel charge assembly having fuel injectors, in particular for common rail systems.
The fuel distributor (10) is produced by a forging method. All design elements of the fuel distributor (10) such as a main body (11), at least one injector cup (30), mounting brackets, fuel inlet fitting and sensor fitting (13) are formed uniform on the fuel distributor (10) during forging process. This is the advantage of forging process in the fuel charge assembly production over brazing method. But this advantage brings difficulties for connection bore (14) creation. The connection bore (14) should be closed from an inlet (15) side on a wall thickness of the main body (11).
In brazing method, the design elements are manufactured separately, and they are brought together by brazing process, in the prior art. But in the forging method, a pre material is performed by hot pressing of material between two dies. Then, the fuel distributor (10) and all design elements of the fuel distributor (10) which are roughly formed, are extracted from dies. Lastly, machining and drilling processes are realized for the last shape of the elements.
The fuel distributor (10) feeds fuel to fuel injectors (not shown in the figures). And a fuel charge assembly comprises a number of fuel injectors and the fuel distributor (10). The proposed fuel distributor (10) comprises a main body (11) having a fuel chamber (12) formed along a longitudinal axis (X) of the fuel distributor (10); at least one cup (30) having an injector chamber (31) extending along a first axis (F) wherein each cup (30) is arranged eccentrically with respect to the fuel chamber (12); at least one connection bore (14) having an inlet (15) which is connecting an auxiliary hole (32) of the injector chamber (31) of the cup (30) to the fuel chamber (12).
The present invention advantageously further comprises a plug closure system (20) having a plug (22) with a first groove (23) formed on the plug (22) to fix a fixing member (21) on the plug (22) by inserting the fixing member (21) from outside of the main body (11) by means of a slot (17) formed on the main body (11) and a second groove (25) to fix an O-ring (24) on the plug (22) where the plug (22) is inserted into the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14); to close and seal off the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14).
The fixing member (21) is a U-shaped fixing member such as a U-clip as can be seen from the fig. 15. The fixing member (21) can be manufactured from a metal material.
The plug (22) is in a cylindrical shape which corresponds to a cylindrical inner volume of the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14) as in the figures; 5 and 11 . The first groove (23) and the second groove (25) of the plug (22) are formed as circular forms on the plug (22). The fixing member (21) can be insertable via a slot (17) and fixed on the first groove (23) of the plug (22) as can be seen from the figures; 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 . The slot (17) is arranged on a vertical axis (Y) on the fuel distributor (10) as to be reached from an upper face (18) of the main body (11). Also, the slot (17) has a U-shaped gap corresponding to the U-shaped of the fixing member (21) as can be seen from the figures; 1 , 2 and 3. But also, the gap of the slot (17) is bigger than the dimension of the fixing member (21). Thus, the fixing member (21) inserted also onto the plug (22) and the fixing member (21) holds and secures the plug (22) in a tight manner. Also, the fixing member (21) can be reachable from an outer wall from outside of the main body (11) after assembly. The plug (22) has a stopper (26) adjacent to the first groove (23) from one side and the stopper (26) provides to fix the fixing member (21) on the plug (22) and prevents back out of the plug (22) from the inlet (15).
Referring to the Figures; 1 , 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10, the main body (11) of the fuel distributor (10) is formed via forging method and like a tubular body. All the injector cups (30) are formed eccentrically according to a longitudinal axis (X) of the main body (11). Auxiliary hole (32) is adjusted and drilled in a closer distance to the fuel chamber (12) of the fuel distributor (10). Therefore, the auxiliary hole (32) is formed on a first axis (F) parallel to a center axis of the injector chamber (31). And the plug closure system (20) is disposed between the auxiliary hole (32) and the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14).
In a manufacturing method, a driller can be used to create the inlet (15) and the connection bore (14) at the same time to reach the fuel chamber (12). Accordingly, the inlet (15) and the connection bore (14) have the same diameters, since the same driller is used and the holes are formed together.
Referring to the Figures; 1 , 2, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10, the number of the created connection bores (14) is the same as with numbers of the cups (30). Each cup (30) is provided with the corresponding connection bores (14). Accordingly, each connection bores (14) have an inlet (15) formed on an outer wall of the main body (11 ). An end (16) is an open hole of the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14) which is opening through outside of the fuel distributor (10).
Referring to Figures; 2, 5, 6, 7 and 10, the fuel distributor (10) has three perpendicularly oriented cups (30) with respect to the longitudinal axis (X) of the fuel distributor (10). Accordingly, three separate plug closure system (20) can be used to seal off the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14). The plug (22) of the plug closure system (20) is arranged as insertable and press-fitted into the inlet (15) of the connection bore (14).
