Es ist denkbar, dass ein gewisses Speichervolumen innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses vorgesehen ist, um diesen hydraulischen Schwingungen entgegenzuwirken. Ein derartiges Speichervolumen bringt allerdings den Nachteil mit sich, dass zusätzliche, hochfrequente Druckschwingungen innerhalb des Einspritzventils entstehen können, die insbesondere zu einem höheren Verschleiß im Bereich eines Dichtsitzes führen.It is conceivable that a certain storage volume is provided within the valve housing to counteract these hydraulic vibrations. However, such a storage volume has the disadvantage that additional, high-frequency pressure oscillations can occur within the injection valve, leading in particular to a higher wear in the region of a sealing seat.
Aus der
Das erfindungsgemäße Brennstoffeinspritzventil mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, dass mögliche hydraulische Schwingungen vorteilhaft gedämpft sind. Speziell kann das Brennstoffeinspritzventil der Erfindung ein relativ großes Speichervolumen aufweisen, wobei bei solch einem großen Speichervolumen auftretende ungünstige Nebeneffekte verhindert oder zumindest verringert sind.The fuel injection valve according to the invention with the features of
Durch die in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführten Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Brennstoffeinspritzventils möglich.The measures listed in the dependent claims advantageous developments of the fuel injection valve specified in
In vorteilhafter Weise ist innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses ein Düsenvolumen ausgebildet, das mit dem zweiten Speichervolumen verbunden ist, wobei bei der Betätigung des Ventilschließkörpers Brennstoff aus dem Düsenvolumen über den geöffneten Dichtsitz abspritzbar ist. Das Düsenvolumen kann dabei zwiebelförmig ausgestaltet sein. Denkbar ist es, dass der Zufluss von Brennstoff direkt in das zweite Speicherteilvolumen erfolgt. In solch einem Fall ist es vorteilhaft, dass zwischen dem Düsenvolumen und dem zweiten Speicherteilvolumen zumindest eine weitere Drossel vorgesehen ist, um ein schnelleres Schließen einer Düsennadel zu ermöglichen. Die Zuführung von Brennstoff erfolgt direkt in das erste Speicherteilvolumen, das mit dem zweiten Speicherteilvolumen über die Drossel verbunden ist. In diesem Fall kann die Verbindung zwischen dem zweiten Speicherteilvolumen und dem Düsenvolumen auch zumindest im Wesentlichen ungedrosselt erfolgen.Advantageously, a nozzle volume is formed within the valve housing, which is connected to the second storage volume, wherein upon actuation of the valve closing body fuel from the nozzle volume on the opened sealing seat is sprayed off. The nozzle volume can be configured onion-shaped. It is conceivable that the inflow of fuel takes place directly into the second storage partial volume. In such a case, it is advantageous that at least one further throttle is provided between the nozzle volume and the second storage partial volume, in order to enable a faster closing of a nozzle needle. The supply of fuel is carried out directly into the first storage partial volume which is connected to the second storage partial volume via the throttle. In this case, the connection between the second storage partial volume and the nozzle volume can also be at least substantially unthrottled.
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass die Betätigungseinrichtung den Ventilschließkörper mittels eines hydraulischen Kopplers betätigt, der eine Steuerstange aufweist, die das Speichervolumen begrenzt, und dass die Drossel, die das erste Speicherteilvolumen mit dem zweiten Speicherteilvolumen verbindet, durch einen Drosselspalt zwischen der Steuerstange und einer in das Ventilgehäuse eingesetzten Ringscheibe gebildet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass die räumliche Aufteilung des Speichervolumen in das erste Speicherteilvolumen und das zweite Speicherteilvolumen durch die Ringscheibe erfolgen kann, wodurch eine kostengünstige und einfach umzusetzende Ausgestaltung des Brennstoffeinspritzventils ermöglicht ist. Die Ringscheibe kann dabei in das Ventilgehäuse eingepresst sein. In der Regel kann eine relativ geringe Empfindlichkeit des äquivalenten Drosselquerschnitts auf die Dämpfung der Druckschwingungen angenommen werden, so dass hinsichtlich des Spaltmaßes des Drosselspaltes keine besonderen Anforderungen an die Einhaltung eines engen Toleranzfeldes gestellt sind.It is advantageous that the actuating device actuates the valve closing body by means of a hydraulic coupler having a control rod which limits the storage volume, and that the throttle, which connects the first storage part volume with the second storage part volume, through a throttle gap between the control rod and a in the Valve housing inserted annular disc is formed. This has the advantage that the spatial division of the storage volume into the first storage subvolume and the second storage subvolume can be done by the annular disc, whereby a cost-effective and easy to implement design of the fuel injector is possible. The annular disc can be pressed into the valve housing. As a rule, a relatively low sensitivity of the equivalent throttle cross-section to the damping of the pressure oscillations can be assumed, so that with regard to the gap dimension of the throttle gap, no special requirements are imposed on compliance with a narrow tolerance field.
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass die Betätigungseinrichtung den Ventilschließkörper mittels eines hydraulischen Kopplers betätigt, der einen Steuerraum aufweist, dass der Steuerraum mittels einer Ablaufdrossel mit einem Rücklauf verbunden ist, wobei die Verbindung der Ablaufdrossel mit dem Rücklauf durch die Betätigungseinrichtung gesteuert ist, und dass eine Zulaufdrossel vorgesehen ist, die das erste Speicherteilvolumen mit dem Steuerraum verbindet. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass eine Ansteuerung mit einer im Hochdruck schwimmenden Steuerstange, die auch nadelförmig ausgestaltet sein kann, erfolgen kann, wobei Druckschwingungen hinsichtlich ihrer Amplitude reduziert sind. Dabei ist es ferner vorteilhaft, dass der hydraulische Koppler einen weiteren Steuerraum aufweist, dass eine Stirnseite der Steuerstange den Steuerraum begrenzt, dass eine weitere Stirnseite der Steuerstange den weiteren Steuerraum begrenzt und dass der Ventilschließkörper in Abhängigkeit von einer Druckdifferenz zwischen dem Druck eines Brennstoffs im weiteren Steuerraum und einem Druck eines Brennstoffs in einem Düsenraum betätigbar ist.It is advantageous that the actuating device actuates the valve closing body by means of a hydraulic coupler having a control chamber, that the control chamber is connected by means of a drain throttle with a return, wherein the connection of the drain throttle is controlled with the return by the actuator, and that an inlet throttle is provided, which connects the first storage part volume with the control room. This has the advantage that a control with a floating in the high pressure control rod, which may also be designed needle-shaped, can take place, wherein pressure oscillations are reduced in amplitude. In this case, it is also advantageous that the hydraulic coupler has a further control chamber, that an end face of the control rod limits the control chamber, that a further end face of the control rod limits the further control chamber and that the valve closing body in dependence on a pressure difference between the pressure of a fuel in the further Control chamber and a pressure of a fuel in a nozzle chamber is actuated.
Vorteilhaft ist es, dass das erste Speicherteilvolumen durch einen ersten Speicherraum gebildet ist, dass das zweite Speicherteilvolumen durch einen zweiten Speicherraum gebildet ist und dass der zweite Speicherraum mit einem durch die Ventilsitzfläche begrenzten Düsenraum verbunden ist. Dadurch ergibt sich eine kompakte Ausgestaltung, bei der ein im Wesentlichen rohrförmiger Speicherraum realisiert werden kann, wobei die Amplitude von hochfrequenten Druckschwingungen zuverlässig gedämpft ist.It is advantageous that the first storage part volume is formed by a first storage space, that the second storage part volume is formed by a second storage space and that the second storage space is connected to a limited by the valve seat surface nozzle space. This results in a compact design, in which a substantially tubular storage space can be realized, wherein the amplitude of high-frequency pressure oscillations is reliably damped.

Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 weist ein Ventilgehäuse 3 auf, das in der Regel mehrteilig ausgestaltet ist und beispielsweise einen Düsenkörper aufweisen kann. Das Ventilgehäuse 3 weist einen Ventilsitzkörper 4 auf, an dem eine Ventilsitzfläche 5 ausgebildet ist. Die Ventilsitzfläche 5 wirkt mit einem Ventilschließkörper 6 zu einem Dichtsitz zusammen. Der Ventilschließkörper 6 ist dabei von einer Düsennadel 7 betätigbar, wobei der Ventilschließkörper 6 in dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel einstückig mit der Düsennadel 7 ausgebildet ist. Die Düsennadel 7 ist von einer Ventilnadelführung 8 des Ventilgehäuses 3 in axialer Richtung geführt. Die Düsennadel 7 kann dabei zusätzlich von einer Ventilfeder in Richtung des durch den Ventilschließkörper 6 und die Ventilsitzfläche 5 gebildeten Dichtsitzes mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt sein. Außerdem weist das Ventilgehäuse 3 einen vereinfacht dargestellten Brennstoffeinlassstutzen 10 auf, um Brennstoff von einer Hochdruckpumpe 11 in das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 zu führen. Die Verbindung des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 mit der Hochdruckpumpe 11 kann dabei über ein Common-Rail erfolgen.The
In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird der Brennstoff an dem Brennstoffeinlassstutzen 10 in einen Brennstoffkanal 12 geleitet, der in einen ersten Speicherraum 13 mündet. Der erste Speicherraum 13 ist innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses 3 ausgebildet. Ferner ist ein zweiter Speicherraum 14 vorgesehen, der ebenfalls innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses 3 vorgesehen ist. Der erste Speicherraum 13 bildet ein erstes Speicherteilvolumen und der zweite Speicherraum 14 bildet ein zweites Speicherteilvolumen, wobei die beiden von den Speicherräumen 13, 14 gebildeten Speicherteilvolumen ein Speichervolumen 15 vorgeben. Durch das Speichervolumen 15 kann das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 als Mini-Rail wirken. Die Speicherräume 13, 14 sind über eine Drossel 16 miteinander verbunden. Ferner ist ein ungedrosselter Brennstoffkanal 17 vorgesehen, der das zweite Speicherteilvolumen, das durch den zweiten Speicherraum 14 definiert ist, mit einem Düsenvolumen verbindet, das durch einen Düsenraum 18 gebildet ist. Bei einer Betätigung der Düsennadel 7 wird Brennstoff aus dem Düsenraum 18 über den geöffneten Dichtsitz, der zwischen dem Ventilschließkörper 6 und der Ventilsitzfläche 5 gebildet ist, und eine Düsenöffnung 19 in dem Ventilsitzkörper in einen Brennraum oder dergleichen der Brennkraftmaschine eingespritzt.In the illustrated embodiment, the fuel is conducted to the
Die Düsennadel 7 weist einen Kolbenabschnitt 20 auf, an dem die Düsennadel 7 in der Ventilnadelführung 8 geführt ist. Das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 weist außerdem eine in dem Ventilgehäuse 3 angeordnete Steuerstange 21 auf, die zum Teil in dem ersten Speicherraum 13 und zum Teil in dem zweiten Speicherraum 14 angeordnet ist, so dass die Steuerstange 21 das erste Speicherteilvolumen und das zweite Speicherteilvolumen und somit auch das aus den Speicherteilvolumen zusammengesetzte Speichervolumen begrenzt. An einer ersten Stirnseite 22 der Steuerstange 21 ist ein Steuerraum 23 vorgesehen, der über eine Drossel 24 mit dem ersten Speichervolumen des ersten Speicherraums 13 verbunden ist. Ferner ist an einer weiteren Stirnseite 25 der Steuerstange 21, die der Stirnseite 22 abgewandt ist, ein weiterer Steuerraum 26 ausgebildet, der durch die Steuerstange 21 eine Steuerraumhülse 27 und den Kolbenabschnitt 20 begrenzt ist. Die Steuerraumhülse 27 ist dabei innerhalb des zweiten Speicherraums 14 angeordnet. Durch die Druckdifferenz zwischen einem Druck des Brennstoffs im weiteren Steuerraum 26 und einem Druck des Brennstoffs im Düsenraum 18 ist eine Steuerung der Düsennadel 7 möglich, wobei der Druck im weiteren Steuerraum 26 über den Druck im Steuerraum 23 steuerbar ist. Der Steuerraum 23 ist dabei durch die Steuerstange 21, eine Steuerraumhülse 28 und das Ventilgehäuse 3 begrenzt. Ferner sind Ventilfedern 29, 30 vorgesehen, die die Steuerraumhülsen 27, 28 jeweils mit einer gewissen Federkraft beaufschlagen.The
Die Steuerstange 21, die Steuerraumhülsen 27, 28, die Ventilfedern 29, 30 sowie die Steuerräume 23, 26 sind Teil eines hydraulischen Kopplers 31, der als Kraft- oder Wegverstärker ausgestaltet sein kann. Dabei ist eine Ablaufdrossel 32 vorgesehen, die mit der als Zulaufdrossel wirkenden Drossel 24 ein gewisses A/Z-Verhältnis vorgibt. Der Fluss durch die Ablaufdrossel 32 ist über eine Betätigungseinrichtung 33 steuerbar, wobei die Betätigungseinrichtung 33 die Ablaufdrossel 32 über eine Rücklauf 34 mit einem Tank 35 verbindet oder diese Verbindung unterbricht.The
Somit kann mit der in dem Ventilgehäuse 3 angeordneten Betätigungseinrichtung 33 der Ventilschließkörper 6 mittels des hydraulischen Kopplers 31 betätigt werden, um das Öffnen und Schließen des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 zu steuern. Die Steuerstange 21 schwimmt dabei im unter hohem Druck stehenden Brennstoff, wobei die Steuerstange 21 sowohl das erste Speicherteilvolumen des ersten Speicherraums 13 als auch das zweite Speicherteilvolumen des zweiten Speicherraums 14 begrenzt.Thus, with the
Durch das durch die Speicherteilvolumen gebildete Speichervolumen können Schwingungen zwischen der Hochdruckpumpe 11 beziehungsweise dem Common-Rail und dem Brennstoffeinspritzventil 1 gedämpft. In dem in der
Ferner ist anzumerken, dass bei der Wahl der Drosselwirkung der Drossel 16 berücksichtigt ist, dass der Brennstoffkanal 17, der den zweiten Speicherraum 14 mit dem Düsenraum 18 verbindet, als ungedrosselter Brennstoffkanal 17 ausgestaltet ist.It should also be noted that in the choice of throttle effect the
Die Drossel 16 ist aber Erfindungsgemäß in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch einen Ringspalt 40 zwischen einer Ringscheibe 41 und der Steuerstange 21 gebildet. Die Ringscheibe 41 ist dabei in eine Aussparung 42 des Ventilgehäuses 3 eingesetzt. Die Ringscheibe 41 kann auch in das Ventilgehäuse 3 eingepresst sein. Die Ausgestaltung mittels der Ringscheibe 41 ermöglicht eine kostengünstige Herstellung des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1, die einfach umgesetzt werden kann. Aufgrund der geringen Empfindlichkeit des äquivalenten Drosselquerschnitts der Drossel 16 auf die Dämpfung der Druckschwingungen innerhalb des Brennstoffeinspritzventils 1 ist es nicht erforderlich, dass besondere Toleranzfelder beim Spaltmaß des Ringspalts 40 eingehalten werden.However, the
Die Größe des Speichervolumens 15 ist so gewählt, dass eine gewisse Brennstoffmenge aufgenommen werden kann, die eine wirksame Dämpfung der hochfrequenten Schwingungsanteile innerhalb des Ventilgehäuses 3 unter einen gewissen Schwellwert ermöglicht, so dass ein Verschleiß speziell im Bereich des Dichtsitzes zwischen dem Ventilschließkörper 6 und der Ventilsitzfläche 5 verhindert oder zumindest verringert ist.The size of the storage volume 15 is selected so that a certain amount of fuel can be absorbed, which allows effective damping of the high-frequency vibration components within the
