Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftstofführung im Zylindergehäuse einer Brennkraftmaschine und ein verfahren zur Herstellung dieser Kraftstofführung gemäß den im Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 und 9 angegebenen Merkmale.The invention relates to a fuel guide in the cylinder housing of an internal combustion engine and a method for producing this fuel guide according to the features specified in the preamble of claims 1 and 9.

Aus der Druckschrift von KHD DEUTZ, "DEUTZ automotive", die neuen DEUTZ-Motorenbaureihen für Nutzfahrzeuge ab 1992, ist das Schnittbild einer der Einzel-Einspritzpumpen als Steckpumpe mit einer Kraftstofführung im Zylindergehäuse einer mehrzylindrigen Brennkraftmaschine gezeigt, bei der ein im Zylindergehäuse verlaufender Durchgangskanal der Kraftstofführung die in einer Aufnahme für die Steckpumpe vorgesehene Aufnahmebohrung kreuzt.From the KHD DEUTZ publication, "DEUTZ automotive", the new DEUTZ engine series for commercial vehicles from 1992, the sectional view of one of the single injection pumps as a plug-in pump with a fuel guide in the cylinder housing of a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is shown, in which a through-channel running in the cylinder housing Fuel guide crosses the mounting hole provided in a receptacle for the plug-in pump.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, am Zylindergehäuse einer Brennkraftmaschine durch einfache Maßnahmen eine platzsparende und zugleich gewichtsreduzierende Kraftstofführung zu erreichen sowie eine problemlose und aufwandarme Herstellung dieser Kraftstofführung zu ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to achieve a space-saving and at the same time weight-reducing fuel guide on the cylinder housing of an internal combustion engine by simple measures and to enable a trouble-free and inexpensive production of this fuel guide.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe dienen erfindungsgemäß die im Kennzeichen der Patentansprüche 1 und 9 angegebenen Merkmale.According to the invention, the features specified in the characterizing part of claims 1 and 9 serve to solve this object.

Durch die besondere Anordnung des Längskanals sind keine zusätzlichen platzraubenden massiven Rippen bzw. Gußanhäufungen notwendig und durch die besondere Kraftstoffverbindung zwischen der Aufnahmebohrung und dem Längskanal sind keine sonst übliche Kugelverschlüsse in den die Aufnahme durchsetzenden Querbohrungen erforderlich. Ferner ergibt sich durch den abseits von den Steckpumpen verlaufenden Längskanal, von dem aus Kraftstoff über die Schrägbohrungen von den Steckpumpen abgezweigt wird, keine Temperaturzunahme im Kraftstoff.Due to the special arrangement of the longitudinal channel, no additional space-consuming solid ribs or castings are necessary, and due to the special fuel connection between the receiving bore and the longitudinal channel, none are otherwise customary Ball locks are required in the cross holes passing through the receptacle. Furthermore, the longitudinal channel running away from the plug-in pumps, from which fuel branches off from the plug-in pumps via the oblique bores, does not result in an increase in temperature in the fuel.

Dadurch, daß der Verbindungssteg lediglich den Durchgangskanal aufnimmt (Anspruch 2), kann dieser Verbindungssteg schmal und somit auch gewichtssparend ausgeführt sein. Der die Aufnahme mittig kreuzende Durchgangskanal ermöglicht eine diagonale Anordnung der für die Steckpumpe vorgesehenen Schraubenbefestigung auf der Pumpenauflage. Somit ergibt sich keine unvorteilhafte einseitige Pumpenbefestigung.The fact that the connecting web only receives the through-channel (claim 2), this connecting web can be narrow and thus also designed to save weight. The through channel that crosses the mount in the middle enables a diagonal arrangement of the screw fastening provided for the plug-in pump on the pump support. This means that there is no disadvantageous one-sided pump mounting.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Positionierung des Längskanals in einem materialverstärkenden Bereich, bei dem Begrenzungswände von Nachbarräumen aufeinander zulaufen und quasi einen Knoten bilden.The positioning of the longitudinal channel in a material-reinforcing area is particularly advantageous, in which boundary walls of neighboring rooms converge and virtually form a node.

Die Maßnahme gemäß Anspruch 3 führt zu einem behinderungsfreien Bohren der Schrägbohrung.The measure according to claim 3 leads to an unobstructed drilling of the oblique hole.

In den weiteren Unteransprüchen sind noch förderliche Weiterbildungen der Erfindung angegeben, wobei gemäß Anspruch 6 bei einem Zylindergehäuse mit zwei Zylinderreihen die Schrägbohrung der einen Zylinderreihe und die Befestigungslöcher in der Pumpenauflage der anderen Zylinderreihe gleichzeitig mit einem einzigen Bearbeitungskopf zumindest gebohrt und gewindegebohrt werden können. Somit ergibt sich eine einzige Bearbeitungsrichtung für verschiedene Bearbeitungen bzw. Arbeitsgänge für beide Zylinderreihen.In the further subclaims, further advantageous developments of the invention are specified, wherein according to claim 6, in the case of a cylinder housing with two rows of cylinders, the oblique bore of one row of cylinders and the fastening holes in the pump support of the other row of cylinders can at least be drilled and tapped simultaneously with a single machining head. This results in a single machining direction for different machining operations for both cylinder rows.

Bei dem Verfahren zur Herstellung der Kraftstofführung wird zunächst der Längskanal und dann erst die Schrägbohrung gebohrt, damit beim Tieflochbohren unverzichtbares Kühlmittel nicht über die Schrägbohrungen abfließen kann.In the process for producing the fuel guide, first the longitudinal channel and then the oblique bore drilled so that coolant, which is indispensable for deep hole drilling, cannot flow out through the oblique holes.

Ein weiterer Arbeitsschritt erfolgt durch das Tieflochbohren des Durchgangskanals, der die noch als Massivteil bestehende Aufnahme kreuzt. Danach wird die durchmessermäßig große Aufnahmebohrung für die Steckpumpe gebohrt.Another step is the deep hole drilling of the through-channel, which crosses the still existing solid part. Then the large-diameter mounting hole for the plug-in pump is drilled.

Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung der Erfindung ergeben die Maßnahmen gemäß Anspruch 11, da durch die besondere Konturgebung des Rohkonturgusses im oberen Bereich der für die Steckpumpe vorgesehenen Aufnahme als Massivteil die Schrägbohrung ohne weitere Vorarbeiten gebohrt werden kann.An advantageous further development of the invention results in the measures according to claim 11, because the special contour of the raw contour casting in the upper area of the receptacle provided for the plug-in pump as a solid part enables the oblique bore to be drilled without any further preparatory work.

Die muldenartige Vertiefung mit einer tiefsten Stelle in Aufnahmemitte dient als Bohrhilfe bzw. Zentrierung der Aufnahmebohrung.The trough-like depression with a deepest point in the middle of the receptacle serves as a drilling aid or centering the receptacle bore.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahme gemäß Anspruch 12 führt zu einer erheblichen Verringerung des Materialabtrags bei Bohren der großen Aufnahmebohrung.Another advantageous measure according to claim 12 leads to a significant reduction in material removal when drilling the large receiving bore.

Ein Zylindergehäuse 1 gemäß Fig. 1, das für eine Brennkraftmaschine mit in Reihe angeordneten Zylindern vorgesehen ist, enthält eine im wesentlichen aus einem durchgehenden Längskanal 2 als Kraftstoffvorlauf und einem durchgehenden Durchgangskanal 3 als Kraftstoffrücklauf sowie aus Schrägbohrungen 4 bestehende Kraftstofführung.A cylinder housing 1 according to FIG. 1, which is provided for an internal combustion engine with cylinders arranged in series, contains a fuel guide consisting essentially of a continuous longitudinal channel 2 as a fuel feed and a continuous through channel 3 as a fuel return, as well as inclined bores 4.

An einer Längsseite der Zylinderreihe sind hochstehende Aufnahmen 5 angeformt, deren Aufnahmebohrungen 6 für Steckpumpen 7 (Fig. 2) vorgesehen sind.On a long side of the row of cylinders, upstanding receptacles 5 are formed, the receiving bores 6 of which are provided for plug-in pumps 7 (FIG. 2).

Zwischen den jeweiligen Aufnahmen 5 sind von der Längsseite der Zylinderreihe abstehende schmale Verbindungsstege 8 angeordnet, in denen der die Längsachse jeder Aufnahme 5 schneidende Durchgangskanal 3 verläuft.Narrow connecting webs 8 projecting from the long side of the row of cylinders are arranged between the respective receptacles 5, in which the through channel 3 intersecting the longitudinal axis of each receptacle 5 runs.

Der Längskanal 2 befindet sich in einem Bereich, in dem Begrenzungswände 9,10,11 von Nachbarräumen 12,13,14 aufeinander zulaufen, liegt etwa in Höhe des Durchgangskanals 3 und verläuft im Zylindergehäuse 1 neben den Steckpumpen 7.The longitudinal channel 2 is located in an area in which boundary walls 9, 10, 11 from neighboring rooms 12, 13, 14 run towards one another, is approximately at the level of the through-channel 3 and runs in the cylinder housing 1 next to the plug-in pumps 7.

Kurz unterhalb jeder Pumpenauflage 15 führt die Schrägbohrung 4 von der Aufnahmebohrung 6 weg und mündet in den Längskanal 2. Die Verlängerung dieser Schrägbohrung 4 liegt innerhalb der oberen Öffnung 17 der Aufnahmebohrung 6.Shortly below each pump support 15, the oblique bore 4 leads away from the receiving bore 6 and opens into the longitudinal channel 2. The extension of this oblique bore 4 lies within the upper opening 17 of the receiving bore 6.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Ausführung mit montierter Steckpumpe 7 sowie der durch Pfeile gekennzeichnete Kraftstoffströmungsverlauf gezeigt. Die Steckpumpe 7 weist übereinanderliegende Ringnuten 18,19 auf, von denen die obenliegende Kraftstoffringnut 18 mit der Schrägbohrung 16 und die untenliegende Kraftstoffringnut 19 mit dem Durchgangskanal 3 verbunden ist.FIG. 2 shows an embodiment with a plug-in pump 7 installed and the fuel flow profile indicated by arrows. The plug-in pump 7 has superimposed ring grooves 18, 19, of which the fuel ring groove 18 on top is connected to the oblique bore 16 and the fuel ring groove 19 on the bottom is connected to the through-channel 3.

In Fig. 3 ist der zu den Steckpumpen 7 führende Kraftstoffvorlauf und in Fig. 4 der von den Steckpumpen 7 wegführende Kraftstoffrücklauf gezeigt. In beiden Fig. 3, 4 sind die Verbindungsstege 8 in Draufsicht zu sehen, in denen die Durchgangskanäle 3 verlaufen.FIG. 3 shows the fuel feed leading to the plug-in pumps 7 and FIG. 4 shows the fuel return leading away from the plug-in pumps 7. 3, 4, the connecting webs 8 can be seen in plan view, in which the through-channels 3 run.

Die zuvor beschriebene Kraftstofführung ist in gleicher Weise bei einem in Draufsicht gezeigten Zylindergehäuse 1 mit V-förmig angeordneten Zylinderreihen 21,22 realisiert (Fig. 5).The fuel guide described above is implemented in the same way in a cylinder housing 1 shown in plan view with cylinder rows 21, 22 arranged in a V-shape (FIG. 5).

Längskanal 2 und Durchgangskanal 3 sind jeweils endseitig durch einen Kugelverschluß 23,24 abdichtend verschlossen. Ein in Längsmitte des Längskanals 2 vorgesehener und mit 25,26 bezeichneter Anschluß ist für eine Kraftstoffzuführleitung (nicht dargestellt) und ein mit 27,28 bezeichneter Anschluß für eine Kraftstoffrückführleitung (nicht dargestellt) bestimmt. Die Anschlüsse 27,28 liegen auf der einen Längshälfte der Brennkraftmaschine zwischen den hochstehenden Aufnahmen 5. Die Anschlüsse 27',28' können aber auch hinter der letzten Aufnahme 5 und der Stirnseite der Brennkraftmaschine angeordnet sein, ebenso die Anschlüsse 25',26'. Gegebenenfalls können der jeweilige Längs- und Durchgangskanal beider Zylinderreihen an mindestens einem Ende ohne Kugelverschluß ausgeführt und durch Querbohrungen 30, 31 in mindestens einem stirnseitig am Zylindergehäuse 2 angebrachten Abschlußdeckel 29 miteinander in Verbindung stehen (strichpunktiert dargestellt). Die Leitungsanordnung in mindestens einem Abschlußdeckel kann so getroffen sein, daß dort die Anschlüsse für die Kraftstoffzuführleitung und Kraftstoffrückführleitung vorgesehen sind (mit Pfeilen x,y angedeutet). Anstelle des Abschlußdeckels 29 können auch freiliegende Verbindungsleitungen vorgesehen sein (nicht dargestellt).Longitudinal channel 2 and through channel 3 are each sealed at the ends by a ball lock 23, 24. A connection provided in the longitudinal center of the longitudinal channel 2 and designated 25.26 is intended for a fuel supply line (not shown) and a connection designated 27.28 for a fuel return line (not shown). The connections 27, 28 are located on one longitudinal half of the internal combustion engine between the upstanding receptacles 5. However, the connections 27 ', 28' can also be arranged behind the last receptacle 5 and the end face of the internal combustion engine, as can the connections 25 ', 26'. If necessary, the respective longitudinal and through-channel of both cylinder rows can At least one end is designed without a ball lock and is connected to one another by transverse bores 30, 31 in at least one end cover 29 attached to the end of the cylinder housing 2 (shown in dash-dot lines). The line arrangement in at least one end cover can be such that the connections for the fuel supply line and fuel return line are provided there (indicated by arrows x, y). Instead of the end cover 29, exposed connecting lines can also be provided (not shown).

Die Kraftstoffverbindung beider Zylinderreihen kann auch durch geradlinig verlaufende Querbohrungen 30',31' innerhalb des Zylindergehäuses 1, und zwar im endseitigen Bereich des Zylindergehäuses, oder dort durch V-förmige Bohrungen 32,33 gebildet sein, die im nahen Bereich einer Lagerstuhlwand 34 aufeinander zulaufen (Fig.6).The fuel connection of both rows of cylinders can also be formed by rectilinear transverse bores 30 ', 31' within the cylinder housing 1, specifically in the end region of the cylinder housing, or there by V-shaped bores 32, 33 which converge towards each other in the vicinity of a bearing frame wall 34 (Fig.6).

Die Querbohrungen 30',31' oder die V-förmigen Bohrungen 32,33 können aber auch bei unterschiedlichen Zylinderabständen zwischen Zylindergruppen jeder Zylinderreihe vorgesehen sein (nicht dargestellt).The transverse bores 30 ', 31' or the V-shaped bores 32, 33 can, however, also be provided in the case of different cylinder distances between cylinder groups of each row of cylinders (not shown).

Jede Pumpenauflage weist Befestigungslöcher 35,36 auf, die mit Bezug auf die Aufnahmebohrung 6 diametral gegenüberliegen und diagonal zu dem Durchgangskanal 3 angeordnet sind.Each pump support has fastening holes 35, 36 which are diametrically opposite with respect to the receiving bore 6 and are arranged diagonally to the through-channel 3.

In Fig.7 ist das Zylindergehäuse 1 für eine Brennkraftmaschine mit V-förmig angeordneten Zylinderreihen im Rohkonturguß gezeigt, bei dem die langgestreckten hochstehenden und teilweise seitwärts in den V-Raum der Zylinderreihen ragenden Aufnahmen 5 teilweise als Massivteil ausgebildet sind. Die obere Kontur bzw. Vertiefung 37 jeder Aufnahme 5 ist muldenartig heruntergezogen und weist eine tiefste Stelle 37a in der Längsachse der Aufnahme 5 auf. Die untere Kontur bzw. Vertiefung 38 jeder Aufnahme 5 ist sacklochartig so weit hochgezogen, daß sich zwischen beiden Vertiefungen 37, 38 das stegähnlich gegossene Massivteil ergibt.7 shows the cylinder housing 1 for an internal combustion engine with rows of cylinders arranged in a V-shape in the raw contour casting, in which the elongated, upstanding receptacles 5, which partially protrude sideways into the V-space of the rows of cylinders, are partially designed as solid parts. The upper contour or recess 37 of each receptacle 5 is pulled down like a trough and has a deepest point 37a in the longitudinal axis of FIG Recording 5 on. The lower contour or recess 38 of each receptacle 5 is pulled up like a blind hole to such an extent that the web-like cast solid part results between the two recesses 37, 38.

Ferner ist der Rohkonturguß an den Längsseiten zu schmalen Verbindungsstegen 8 ausgeformt, die mit benachbarten Aufnahmen 5 verbunden sind. Bei einreihigem Zylindergehäuse bilden die zwischen den Aufnahmen 5 liegenden Verbindungsstege 8 lediglich einen Vorsprung an der Längsseite des Zylindergehäuses 1 (Fig.1). Bei zweireihigem Zylindergehäuse 1 können die Verbindungsstege 8 gemäß Fig. 7 in eine zwischen den Zylinderreihen verlaufende obenliegende Kühlmittelkanalwand 39 übergehen, die sich längs den Zylinderreihen erstreckt.Furthermore, the raw contour cast is formed on the long sides into narrow connecting webs 8, which are connected to adjacent receptacles 5. In the case of a single-row cylinder housing, the connecting webs 8 lying between the receptacles 5 merely form a projection on the long side of the cylinder housing 1 (FIG. 1). In the case of a two-row cylinder housing 1, the connecting webs 8 according to FIG. 7 can merge into an upper coolant channel wall 39 which extends between the rows of cylinders and extends along the rows of cylinders.

Um in den Rohkonturguß die Kraftstofführung einzubringen, kann als erster Arbeitsschritt eine sämtliche Aufnahmen 5 kreuzender und in den Verbindungsstegen verlaufender durchgehender Durchgangskanal 3 von beiden Stirnseiten des Zylindergehäuses 1 beginnend gebohrt werden. Der Durchgangskanal 3 schneidet dabei die Längsachse jeder Aufnahme 5. Der Längskanal 2 kann auf gleiche Weise gebohrt werden, vorteilhafterweise gleichzeitig mit dem Durchgangskanal 3. Nachfolgend kann ausgehend von dem zugleich als Bohransatzfläche dienenden und schräg verlaufenden Wandbereich 37b der Vertiefung 37 jeder Aufnahme 5 die in den Längskanal 2 mündende Schrägbohrung 16 und als letztes die für die Steckpumpe 7 vorgesehene Aufnahmebohrung 6 gebohrt werden, wobei die tiefste Stelle der Vertiefung 37 in Aufnahmemitte bzw. in der Längsachse der Aufnahme 5 eine Bohrzentrierhilfe darstellt. Beim Bohren ergibt sich ein geringer Materialabtrag, da das Massivteil lediglich einen kleinen Steg in der langgestreckten Aufnahme 5 bildet.In order to introduce the fuel guide into the raw contour casting, as a first work step a through passage 3 crossing all the receptacles 5 and running in the connecting webs can be drilled starting from both end faces of the cylinder housing 1. The through-channel 3 intersects the longitudinal axis of each receptacle 5. The longitudinal channel 2 can be drilled in the same way, advantageously simultaneously with the through-channel 3. Subsequently, starting from the wall area 37b of the recess 37 of each receptacle 5, which also serves as a drilling attachment surface and runs obliquely, the in the oblique bore 16 opening the longitudinal channel 2 and, finally, the receiving bore 6 provided for the plug-in pump 7 are drilled, the deepest point of the depression 37 in the receiving center or in the longitudinal axis of the receiving 5 representing a drilling centering aid. When drilling, there is little material removal, since the solid part only forms a small web in the elongated receptacle 5.

Claims (12)

  1. Fuel guidance in the cylinder housing (1) of an internal combustion engine having cylinders disposed in series and upright housings (5) with receiving bores (6) for push-in pumps (7) which communicate with pipes for the feed and return of fuel and of which one crosses the receiving housings as a through-passage (3), characterised in that at least approximately at the height of the through-passage (3) provided as the fuel return, a continuous longitudinal passage (2) is disposed as a fuel feed alongside the push-in pumps (7) in the cylinder housing (1) which communicates with the push-in pumps (7) via associated oblique bores (4), each of which when extended lies within the opening (17) of the associated receiving bore (6).
  2. Fuel guidance according to Claim 1, characterised in that the housings (5) provided for the push-in pumps (7) project away from the long side of the row of cylinders and are connected to one another by connecting webs which project from the long side and in that the through-passage (3), as a fuel return, extends through all connecting webs (8) and housings (5), intersecting these latter at least approximately centrally.
  3. Fuel guidance according to Claim 1 or 2, characterised in that the longitudinal passage (2) lies in the intersection of walls (9, 10, 11) which form the boundary walls of adjacent spaces.
  4. Fuel guidance according to Claim 1, with on each housing a pump support provided for the push-in pump, characterised in that in the region close to each pump support (15), the inclined bores (4) connected to the longitudinal passage (2) open out into the respective receiving bore (6).
  5. Fuel guidance according to one of the preceding Claims, characterised in that the longitudinal passage (2) and the through-passage (3) extend over the entire length of the cylinder housing (1) and are at both ends of the passage closed in sealing-tight manner by a ball closure means (23, 24).
  6. Fuel guidance according to one of the preceding Claims and which is provided for an internal combustion engine with a V-wise arrangement of rows of cylinders, characterised in that the oblique bore (4) associated with each cylinder in the two rows of cylinders (21,22) is disposed axially parallel with the receiving bores (6) of the oppositely disposed row of cylinders.
  7. Fuel guidance according to Claim 6, characterised in that the respective longitudinal and through-passage of both rows of cylinders communicate with one another through transverse bores (30, 31) which extend in at least one closure cover provided at the end of the cylinder housing.
  8. Fuel guidance according to Claim 6, characterised in that the respective longitudinal and through-passage of the two rows of cylinders are connected to one another by transverse bores (30', 31') disposed in the cylinder housing (1), so that they extend either in a straight line or in a V (32, 33), converging on one another in the nearby area of the bearing block wall (34) of the cylinder housing.
  9. A method of establishing fuel guidance in a cylinder housing as a roughly-contoured casting according to one of the preceding Claims, characterised in that, in the region of each housing (5) provided for the push-in pump (7), the roughly-contoured casting is constructed as a solid part and the through-passage (3) and longitudinal passage (2) in the cylinder housing is drilled by deep-bore drilling and that following the deep-bore drilling firstly each oblique bore (4) opening into the longitudinal passage (2) and finally the receiving bores (6) accommodating the push-in pump (7) are drilled.
  10. A method according to Claim 9, characterised in that the deep-bore drilling of the longitudinal and through-passages (2, 3) take place in one working operation, from both ends of the cylinder housing (1).
  11. A method according to Claim 9, characterised in that in the upper part of the housing (5) which is constructed as a solid part, there is a trough-like depression (37) with a lowest point (37a) in the centre of the housing, an obliquely extending wall area (37b) of the depression being at the same time a drilling-commencement area for the oblique bore (4) which extends at least approximately at a right-angle to the drilling-commencement area.
  12. A method according to one of the preceding Claims, characterised in that, prior to drilling of the receiving bore (6), the area of the housing (5) remote from the trough-like depression and provided for the push-in pump, the roughly-contoured casting is hollow-cast, the solid part between the hollow casting and the depression being of web-like construction.
