Description

Einspritzvorrichtung Injector
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einspritzvorrichtung für Dieselmotoren mit einem Düsenhalter, dessen Druck¬ kanal einerseits mit der Einspritzpumpe, andererseits mit der Düse verbunden ist, wobei der Düsenhalter gegenüber einem die Düsennadel in Längsrichtung verschieblich aufnehmenden Düsenkörper mittels einer Zwischenscheibe dichtend abgestützt ist. Dabei stützt sich ein verformbarer metallener hohlzylindrischer Dichtkörper mit einem Ende gegen eine Dichtfläche ab und verformt sich mit zunehmendem Anziehen der den Düsenkörper mit dem Düsenhalter verbindenden Düsen- spannmutter zunehmend gegen seinen Sitz.The invention relates to an injection device for diesel engines with a nozzle holder, the pressure channel of which is connected on the one hand to the injection pump and on the other hand to the nozzle, the nozzle holder being sealingly supported by means of an intermediate disk with respect to a nozzle body which accommodates the nozzle needle in the longitudinal direction. In this case, a deformable metal hollow cylindrical sealing body is supported at one end against a sealing surface and, with increasing tightening of the nozzle clamping nut connecting the nozzle body to the nozzle holder, deforms increasingly against its seat.
Bei derartigen Einspritzvorrichtungen besteht die Notwendigkeit, den Druckkanal im Übergangsbereich zwischen Düsenhalter und Düsenkörper abzudichten, so daß ein Austreten von Kraftstoff in den Federraum und durch das Gewinde der Düsenspannmutter zuverlässig vermieden wird. Bei bekannten Ausführungsformen wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die einander zugekehrten Stirnseiten des Düsenhalters und des Düsenkörpers sowie beide Stirnflächen einer zwischen Düsenhalter und Düsenkδrper angeordneten Zwischenscheibe jeweils eine feinbearbeitete Oberfläche aufweisen, welche durch aufwendige Bearbeitungsverfahren gehärtet, plangeschliffen und geläppt ist. Der Druckkanal im Düsenhalter grenzt dabei an eine entsprechende Bohrung in der Zwischenscheibe, deren Bohrung wiederum an einen entsprechenden Druckkanal im Düsen¬ körper an, welcher zur Düse weiterführt. Durch die exakt planparallel geläppten Oberflächen auf beiden Seiten der Zwischenscheibe sowie auf den angrenzenden Stirnseiten von Düsenhalter und Düsenkörper wird eine zuverlässige Abdichtung erzielt, wobei allerdings ein erheblicher Oberflächenbearbeitungsaufwand in Kauf zu nehmen ist. Eine derartige Einspritzvorrichtung ist in der JP-PS 6-66222 beschrieben.In such injection devices, there is a need to seal the pressure channel in the transition region between the nozzle holder and nozzle body, so that fuel leakage into the spring chamber and through the thread of the nozzle clamping nut is reliably avoided. In known embodiments, this is achieved in that the mutually facing end faces of the nozzle holder and the nozzle body and both end faces of an intermediate disk arranged between the nozzle holder and the nozzle body each have a finely machined surface which is hardened, surface-ground and lapped by complex machining processes. The pressure channel in the nozzle holder adjoins a corresponding bore in the intermediate disk, the bore of which in turn adjoins a corresponding pressure channel in the nozzle body, which leads to the nozzle. Due to the exactly plane-lapped surfaces on both sides of the washer and on the adjacent ones A reliable seal is achieved on the end faces of the nozzle holder and nozzle body, although a considerable amount of surface treatment is to be accepted. Such an injection device is described in JP-PS 6-66222.
Demgegenüber besteht die der vorliegenden Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe darin, eine Abdichtung des Druckkanals einerseits sowie des Innenraums von Düsenkörper und Düsenhalter andererseits gegen einen Austritt von Kraftstoff durch das Gewinde der Düsen- spannmutter zu erzielen, welche sich mit geringerem Aufwand verwirklichen läßt.In contrast, the object on which the present invention is based is to seal the pressure channel on the one hand and the interior of the nozzle body and nozzle holder on the other hand to prevent fuel from escaping through the thread of the nozzle clamping nut, which can be achieved with less effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Obwohl die Restfläche von der zugeordneten Oberseite der Zwischenscheibe entspre¬ chend abgehoben ist, da die Restfläche mit der Ober¬ seite einen Winkel von wenigen Winkelgraden einschließt, sorgt der Dichtkörper für einen dichten¬ den Anschluß des Druckkanals im Düsenhalter mit der Zwischenscheibe bzw. dem Düsenkδrper, wobei sich durch die konischen Dichtflächen ein Selbstzentrieren des Dichtkörpers ergibt und damit gewährleistet ist, daß dieser auch unter Hochdruckbedingungen dichtend abschließt. Auf diese Weise können Spitzendrücke bis zu 1000 bar beherrscht werden. Des weiteren erübrigen sich zusätzliche Dichtungsmaßnahmen zur Abdichtung des Nadelschließfederrahmens aufgrund der konzentri¬ schen Dichtkante.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Although the remaining surface is raised accordingly from the assigned upper side of the intermediate disk, since the remaining surface encloses an angle of a few degrees with the upper side, the sealing body ensures a sealing connection of the pressure channel in the nozzle holder with the intermediate disk or the nozzle body , with the conical sealing surfaces resulting in self-centering of the sealing body and thus ensuring that it seals even under high pressure conditions. In this way, peak pressures up to 1000 bar can be controlled. Furthermore, additional sealing measures for sealing the needle closing spring frame are unnecessary due to the concentric sealing edge.
Nach einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Dichtkörper als Dichtkonus mit dem konischen Sitz im Düsenhalter entsprechender konischer Außenform ausgebildet ist und daß die Gegen-Dichtflache, auf welcher sich der Dichtkonus abstützt, durch die Oberseite der Zwischenscheibe gebildet ist.According to a first preferred embodiment it is provided that the sealing body is designed as a sealing cone with the conical seat in the nozzle holder of a corresponding conical outer shape and that Counter-sealing surface, on which the sealing cone is supported, is formed by the top of the washer.
Durch den Dichtkonus wird die Teilaufgabe gelöst, daß der Druckkanal hochdruckseitig an die Zwischenscheibe dichtend angeschlossen ist, ohne daß es einer Feinbe¬ arbeitung der zugewandten Stirnseite des Düsenhalters bedarf.The sealing cone solves the partial task that the pressure channel is sealingly connected to the intermediate disk on the high-pressure side, without the need for fine machining of the facing end face of the nozzle holder.
Dabei wird die Verformbarkeit des Dichtkonus dadurch gefördert, daß der Dichtkonus in axialer Richtung kürzer bemessen ist als der Sitz, in dem er aufgenom¬ men ist.The deformability of the sealing cone is promoted in that the sealing cone is dimensioned shorter in the axial direction than the seat in which it is received.
Nach einer zweiten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß der Dichtkörper als Dichtring mit zwei außensei¬ tig entgegengesetzt konischen Abschnitten ausgebildet ist, wobei ein Abschnitt entsprechend dem konischen Sitz im Düsenhalter, der andere Abschnitt entspre¬ chend einer konisch aufgeweiteten Mündung der Druck¬ kanalbohrung der Zwischenscheibe ausgebildet ist und wobei die Gegen-Dichtflache durch die Mündung der Druckkanalbohrung der Zwischenscheibe gebildet ist. Bei einem derartigen Dichtring mit zwei konischen Abschnitten ist die erzielte Dichtwirkung besonders gut und dauerhaft. Gleiches trifft auf eine dritte Ausführungsfom gemäß dem Kennzeichen von Anspruch 5 zu, bei welcher die Zwischenscheibe durch ein Dichtröhrchen, welches durch eine Stützbohrung der Zwischenscheibe hindurchgesteckt ist, gewissermaßen überbrückt wird; d.h., hier erfolgt die hochdrucksei- tige Abdichtung direkt zwischen den einander zugewandten Mündungen des Druckkanals, einerseits im Düsenhalter, andererseits im Düsenkörper. Im folgenden werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfin¬ dung anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert. Es zeigtAccording to a second embodiment it is provided that the sealing body is designed as a sealing ring with two externally oppositely conical sections, one section corresponding to the conical seat in the nozzle holder, the other section corresponding to a conically widened mouth of the pressure channel bore of the intermediate disk is and wherein the counter-sealing surface is formed by the mouth of the pressure channel bore of the washer. With such a sealing ring with two conical sections, the sealing effect achieved is particularly good and permanent. The same applies to a third embodiment according to the characterizing part of claim 5, in which the intermediate disk is bridged to a certain extent by a sealing tube which is inserted through a supporting hole in the intermediate disk; ie here the high-pressure side sealing takes place directly between the mutually facing mouths of the pressure channel, on the one hand in the nozzle holder and on the other hand in the nozzle body. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows

Die Einspritzvorrichtung gemäß den Fig. 1 bis 3 umfaßt einen Düsenhalter 1 mit einem Druckkanal 2, in welchem der Kraftstoff in Richtung des Pfeils PI von der nicht dargestellten Einspritzpumpe zugeführt wird, sowie einen Düsenkörper 3, welcher ebenfalls mit einem Druckkanal 4 versehen ist, welcher über eine noch näher zu beschreibende Hochdruckverbindung den Druckkanal 2 des Düsenhalters 1 fortsetzt. Im Düsenkörper 3 sitzt in einer zentrischen Bohrung die Düsennadel 5, deren inneres Nadelende 6 ballig ausge¬ bildet ist. Das Nadelende 6 der Düsennadel 5 wird in Richtung Düse vorgespannt mittels einer Druckfeder 8, die in einer Mittelbohrung 7 des Düsenhalters 1 ange¬ ordnet ist. Sie übt eine auf das Nadelende 6 in Schließrichtung wirkende Kraft aus, indem sie sich auf einen Druckbolzen 9 abstützt, welcher auf dem balligen Nadelende 6 der Düsennadel 5 aufsitzt.1 to 3 comprises a nozzle holder 1 with a pressure channel 2, in which the fuel is supplied in the direction of arrow PI from the injection pump, not shown, and a nozzle body 3, which is also provided with a pressure channel 4, which continues the pressure channel 2 of the nozzle holder 1 via a high-pressure connection to be described in more detail. In the nozzle body 3, the nozzle needle 5 is seated in a central bore, the inner needle end 6 of which is spherical. The needle end 6 of the nozzle needle 5 is biased in the direction of the nozzle by means of a compression spring 8 which is arranged in a central bore 7 of the nozzle holder 1. It exerts a force acting on the needle end 6 in the closing direction by being supported on a pressure pin 9 which is seated on the crowned needle end 6 of the nozzle needle 5.
Düsenkδrper 3 und Düsenhalter 1 werden mittels einer Düsenspannmutter 10 zusammengespannt, welche mittels eines Innengewindes 11 auf ein Außengewinde 12 des Düsenhalters 1 aufgeschraubt ist.Nozzle body 3 and nozzle holder 1 are clamped together by means of a nozzle clamping nut 10, which by means of an internal thread 11 is screwed onto an external thread 12 of the nozzle holder 1.
Die Hochdruckverbindung zwischen Düsenhalter 1 und Düsenkörper 3 wird hergestellt mittels einer Zwischenscheibe 13, deren beide gegenüberliegende Stirnseiten durch Härten, Schleifen und Läppen fein¬ bearbeitet sind. Durch eine zentrale Bohrung 14 der Zwischenscheibe 13 ragt das Nadelende 6 hindurch.The high-pressure connection between nozzle holder 1 and nozzle body 3 is established by means of an intermediate disk 13, the two opposite ends of which are finely machined by hardening, grinding and lapping. The needle end 6 protrudes through a central bore 14 in the intermediate disk 13.
Gemäß Fig. 1 ist die Düsenspannmutter 10 noch nicht vollständig angezogen, so daß zwischen der Oberseite 15 der Zwischenscheibe 13 und der zugeordneten Stirn¬ seite 16 des Düsenhalters 1 ein Spalt 17 gebildet ist. Dieser Spalt 17 wird überbrückt von einem Dicht¬ konus 18 aus einer Stahllegierung mit begrenzt verformbaren Eigenschaften bspw. aus Automatenstahl. Der Dichtkonus 18 besitzt eine sich zur Zwischen¬ scheibe 13 hin verbreitende konische Mantelfläche, mit welcher er in einen entsprechenden konischen Sitz 19 im Mündungsbereich des Druckkanals 2 des Düsenhal¬ ters 1 hineinragt.1, the nozzle clamping nut 10 is not yet fully tightened, so that a gap 17 is formed between the top 15 of the intermediate disk 13 and the associated end face 16 of the nozzle holder 1. This gap 17 is bridged by a sealing cone 18 made of a steel alloy with properties which can be deformed to a limited extent, for example made of free-cutting steel. The sealing cone 18 has a conical outer surface which widens towards the intermediate disk 13 and with which it projects into a corresponding conical seat 19 in the mouth region of the pressure channel 2 of the nozzle holder 1.
Wird die Düsenspannmutter 10 weiter angezogen, so verformt sich der Dichtkonus 18 wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt nach innen hin, wobei er einen Endwulst 20 bildet, bis er letztlich vollständig im Inneren des Sitzes 19 aufgenommen ist. In der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Dichtposition bildet der Dichtkonus einen gegen den Hochdruck im Druckkanal 2 dichten Abschluß einerseits mit dem Sitz 19, andererseits mit der Oberseite 15 der Zwischenscheibe 13.If the nozzle clamping nut 10 is further tightened, the sealing cone 18 deforms inward as shown in FIG. 3, forming an end bead 20 until it is finally completely accommodated in the interior of the seat 19. In the sealing position shown in FIG. 3, the sealing cone forms a seal that is sealed against the high pressure in the pressure channel 2, on the one hand with the seat 19, and on the other hand with the upper side 15 of the intermediate disk 13.
Die Abdichtung des Hochdruckbereichs gegenüber dem Niederdruckbereich erfolgt dadurch, daß, wie in Fig. 2 vergrößert dargestellt, über die Stirnseite 16 des Düsenhalters 1 eine Dichtkante konzentrisch durch den mit der Wand des Nadelschließfederraums zusammen¬ fallenden Ort D verläuft, derart, daß die Dichtkante mit der Mittelbohrung 7 des Düsenhalters 1 auf dessen Stirnseite 16 zusammenfällt. Dadurch erübrigen sich zusätzliche Dichtungsmaßnahmen zur Abdichtung des Nadelschließfederraums. Der Ort D bildet somit den Scheitelpunkt für den zwischen 0,5° und 3,0° betrage¬ nden Winkelγ, welcher eine zur Stirnseite 16 des Düsenhalters 1 entsprechend schräg verlaufende Rest- flache 21 definiert. Die Restfläche 21 bildet somit die Dichtkante bei D. Durch die Dichtkante ergibt sich unter der Spannwirkung der Düsenspannmutter 10 eine die Dichtwirkung erhöhende zusätzliche Barriere zwischen dem durch die beiden Druckkanäle 2, 4 gebil¬ deten Hochdruckteil einerseits und dem Niederdruck¬ teil, der durch die zentralen Innenräume im Düsenhal¬ ter 1 und im Düsenkörper 3 begrenzt ist.The high-pressure area is sealed off from the low-pressure area in that, as in FIG. 2 enlarged, a sealing edge extends concentrically through the face D 16 of the nozzle holder 1 through the location D coinciding with the wall of the needle closing spring chamber, such that the sealing edge coincides with the central bore 7 of the nozzle holder 1 on its end face 16. This eliminates the need for additional sealing measures to seal the needle closing spring chamber. The location D thus forms the apex for the angle γ between 0.5 ° and 3.0 °, which defines a residual flat surface 21 which runs obliquely to the end face 16 of the nozzle holder 1. The remaining surface 21 thus forms the sealing edge at D. The sealing edge results in an additional barrier increasing the sealing effect between the high-pressure part formed by the two pressure channels 2, 4 on the one hand and the low-pressure part which is formed by the central interiors in the nozzle holder 1 and in the nozzle body 3 is limited.
Für die Dichtwirkung des Dichtkonus 18 ist sehr wesentlich, daß dieser mit zunehmendem Aufschrauben der Düsenspannmutter 10 sich im Sinne einer Zentrie¬ rung selbst positionieren kann, während er sich geringfügig verformt, wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt.For the sealing effect of the sealing cone 18, it is very important that the latter can position itself in the sense of centering with increasing screwing on of the nozzle clamping nut 10, while it deforms slightly, as shown in FIG. 3.
Die Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen jeweils eine Variante der hochdruckseitigen Druckkanaldichtung in einer Ausschnittsvergrδßerung gemäß Fig. 2. Bei Fig. 4 besteht die Abweichung gegenüber Fig. 2 darin, daß der Dichtkonus 18 ersetzt ist durch einen Dichtring 22, welcher im wesentlichen aus zwei außenseitig entgegengesetzt konischen Abschnitten 26, 27 besteht, deren Konusflächen sich zum jeweiligen Ende des Dichtrings 22 hin verjüngen. Während der obere Abschnitt 26 wie zu Fig. 2 beschrieben im unteren Ende des Druckkanals 2 aufgenommen ist, tritt der untere Abschnitt 27 in eine entsprechend konisch ausgeweitete Mündung 23 der Druckkanalbohrung 2a der Zwischenscheibe 13 auf deren Oberseite 15 ein. Durch die auf diese Weise gegenüber Fig. 3 erzielte Vergrö¬ ßerung der Dichtflächen wird die Dichtwirkung noch verbessert. Gleiches gilt für die Variante gemäß Fig. 5. Dort kommt ein Dichtröhrchen 25 zum Einsatz, welches wie der Dichtring 22 (Fig. 4) zwei konische Abschnitte 26, 27 an den beiden Enden aufweist, die an einem hohlzylindrischen Mittelabschnitt 24 angesetzt sind, welcher von einer Stützbohrung 29 der Zwischenscheibe 13 eng umfaßt ist. Während der obere Abschnitt 26 wie zu Fig. 2 beschrieben im konischen Sitz 19 des Druckkanals 2 aufgenommen ist, tritt der untere Abschnitt 27 in eine entsprechend konisch aufgeweitete Mündung 28 des Druckkanals 4 des Düsenkörpers 3 ein. 4 and 5 each show a variant of the high-pressure side pressure channel seal in a detail enlargement according to FIG. 2. In FIG. 4, the difference with respect to FIG. 2 is that the sealing cone 18 is replaced by a sealing ring 22, which essentially consists of two on the outside there is conical sections 26, 27, the conical surfaces of which taper towards the respective end of the sealing ring 22. While the top Section 26, as described in relation to FIG. 2, is received in the lower end of the pressure channel 2, the lower section 27 enters a correspondingly conically widened mouth 23 of the pressure channel bore 2a of the intermediate disk 13 on its upper side 15. The sealing effect is further improved by the enlargement of the sealing surfaces compared to FIG. 3. The same applies to the variant according to FIG. 5. There, a sealing tube 25 is used which, like the sealing ring 22 (FIG. 4), has two conical sections 26, 27 at the two ends, which are attached to a hollow cylindrical central section 24, which is closely surrounded by a support hole 29 of the intermediate plate 13. While the upper section 26 is received in the conical seat 19 of the pressure channel 2 as described in relation to FIG. 2, the lower section 27 enters a correspondingly conically widened mouth 28 of the pressure channel 4 of the nozzle body 3.
