Die Erfindung geht von einem Kraftstoffeinspritzventil gemäß der Gattung des Patentanspruchs 1 aus. Bei einem solchen, durch die EP-B1-0 304 747 bekannten Kraftstoffeinspritzventil weist der Einsatz ein zapfenförmiges Teil auf, das in eine entsprechende Sackbohrung des Gehäuses des Kraftstoff- einspritzventiles eingesetzt ist und mit seiner Stirnseite eine Führungsbohrung verschließt, innerhalb der ein Stößel geführt ist, der anderen Endes auf die Einspritzventilnadel wirkt. Der Steuerdruckraum ist bei der bekannten Ausgestaltung in einer axialen Bohrung des Einsatzes untergebracht und steht über eine Drossel mit einem unmittelbar oberhalb des Stößels in der Führungsbohrung liegenden weiteren Steuerraumteil in Verbindung. Zwischen dem Einsatz und dem Stößel ist ein diese Drossel aufnehmender Einsatz vorgesehen. Durch Variation der Dicke des Einsatzes kann der Hub des Stößels eingestellt werden.The invention is based on a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of claim 1. In such a fuel injection valve known from EP-B1-0 304 747, the insert has a peg-shaped part which is inserted into a corresponding blind bore in the housing of the fuel injection valve and with its end face closes a guide bore within which a plunger is guided , the other end acts on the injector needle. The control pressure chamber is housed in an axial bore of the insert in the known embodiment and is connected via a throttle to a further control chamber part located directly above the tappet in the guide bore. An insert accommodating this throttle is provided between the insert and the tappet. The stroke of the ram can be adjusted by varying the thickness of the insert.
Das Magnetventil bei dieser Ausgestaltung weist ein Magnetventilgehäuse mit einer axial vorstehenden Schürze auf, über die der Einsatz in seiner Position' im Gehäuse des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils gehalten wird ist. Der Anker des Magnetventils ist am Innenumfang der Schürze geführt und liegt dabei grundsätzlich zwischen dem oberen Ende des Einsatzes und dem Magnetkern des den Anker betätigenden Elektromagneten. Diese Ausgestaltung bedarf eines hohen Aufwandes, den Hub des Ventilgliedes des Magnetventils einzustellen. Dabei besteht die Gefahr, daß, wenn den Anker in direkten Kontakt mit dem zugehörigen Kern des Elektromagneten kommt, in nachteiliger Weise ein magnetisches Kleben auftreten kann, was die Funktionsfähigkeit insbesondere auch Schaltgeschwindigkeit des Magnetventils erheblich beeinträchtigt.The solenoid valve in this embodiment has a solenoid valve housing with an axially protruding apron, via which the insert is held in its position in the housing of the fuel injection valve. The armature of the solenoid valve is guided on the inner circumference of the apron is basically between the upper end of the insert and the magnetic core of the electromagnet actuating the armature. This configuration requires a lot of effort to adjust the stroke of the valve member of the solenoid valve. There is a risk that if the armature comes into direct contact with the associated core of the electromagnet, magnetic sticking can occur disadvantageously, which considerably affects the functionality, in particular also the switching speed of the solenoid valve.
Vorteil der ErfindungAdvantage of the invention
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffeinspritzventil mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 wird eine kompakte Bauweise mit erheblichen Fertigungs- und Montagevorteilen erzielt. Dadurch, daß der Einsatz nun sowohl die Führung des Ventilgliedes des Magnetventils als auch den den Steuerdruckraum einschließenden Zylinder mit beweglicher Wand aufnimmt, ist eine einzige Fertigungseinheit geschaffen, die leicht herzustellen und einfach zu montieren ist. Dabei ist insbesondere sehr vorteilhaft, daß gemäß Patentanspruch 2 der Anker als Flachanker ausgebildet ist und in einer topfartigen Ausnehmung des Einsatzes verstellbar ist, wobei ein Rand des Einsatzes den in Schließstellung befindlichen Anker überragt und unmittelbar in der Ebene endet, die die Hubendstellung des Ankers definiert. Somit kann in einfacher Weise eine Zuordnung des Elektromagnetens des Magnetventils zum im Einsatz angeordneten Ventilsitz hergestellt werden und durch einfaches Überarbeiten der Höhe des Randes des Einsatzes diese Zuordnung exakt eingestellt werden. In sehr einfacher Weise kann dann gemäß Patentanspruch 3 durch Einbringen einer Zwischenscheibe zwischen dem Rand des Einsatzes und dem Gehäuse bzw. dem Magnetkern des Elektromagnetens ein Restluftspalt definiert werden, wobei der Anker bei Erregung des Elektromagneten mit seinem Rand in eine seinen Hub zum Magneten hin begrenzende Anlage an die Zwischenscheibe gelangt und zwar in einem schmalen Flächenbereich im Randbereich am Außenumfang des Ankers. Damit ist gewährleistet, daß bei abgeschalteter Erregung des Elektromagneten und unter Einwirkung einer Schließfeder der Anker das Ventilschließglied schnell und sicher wieder in Schließstellung bringt.The fuel injection valve according to the invention with the characterizing features of patent claim 1 achieves a compact design with considerable manufacturing and assembly advantages.

Beschreibungdescription
In der Figur ist ein Teil des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoff- einspritzventils wiedergegeben. Im Gehäuse 1 des Kraftstoff- einspritzventils ist eine nicht weiter dargestellte Ein- spritzventilnadel geführt, wie es z.B. auch in der eingangs zitierten Druckschrift so offenbart ist. Diese Einspritzventilnadel hat an ihrem einen Ende eine konische Dichtfläche, die mit einem ebenfalls konischen Ventilsitz im Gehäuse 1 zusammenwirkt und dabei bei Anlage der Einspritzventilnadel auf ihrem Ventilsitz Einspritzbohrungen verschließt und bei abgehobener Einspritzventilnadel diese öffnet. Die Ein- spritzbohrungen können direkt von dem konischen Ventilsitz oder von einem sich an den konischen Ventilsitz anschließenden Sackloch abführen. Neuzeitliche Einspritzsysteme bevorzugen die erste Lösung. Ventil- sitzseitig umgibt die Ventilnadel einen Ringraum, der bis zum einen Druckraum am anderen Endes des Ringraumes reicht, der ständig mit einer nicht gezeigten Kraf stoffhochdruckquelle in Form eines Hochdruckspeichers verbunden ist. Dazu weist das Gehäuse des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils einenIn the figure, part of the fuel injection valve according to the invention is shown. An injection valve needle (not shown in any more detail) is guided in the housing 1 of the fuel injection valve, as it is e.g. is also disclosed in the publication cited at the beginning. This injection valve needle has at one end a conical sealing surface which interacts with a likewise conical valve seat in the housing 1 and closes injection bores when the injection valve needle rests on its valve seat and opens them when the injection valve needle is lifted off. The injection bores can lead away directly from the conical valve seat or from a blind hole adjoining the conical valve seat. Modern injection systems prefer the first solution. On the valve seat side, the valve needle surrounds an annular space that extends to a pressure space at the other end of the annular space, which is constantly connected to a high-pressure pressure source, not shown, in the form of a high-pressure accumulator. For this purpose, the housing of the fuel injection valve has one

In a conventional embodiment, the plunger 3 is placed on the valve needle, which is guided in a cylinder bore 4 on its end facing away from the valve needle. The tappet is at a distance from the housing over the length of the part lying outside the cylinder bore stored and there is also a compression spring acting in the closing direction, which acts either on the tappet or on the injection valve needle.
Auf seiner eine bewegliche Wand bildenden Stirnseite 6 schließt der Stößel 3 in der Zylinderbohrung 4 mit deren geschlossenem Ende einen Steuerdruckraum 7 ein, der über eine Zulaufdrossel 8, auch Z-Drossel genannt, mit dem Zulauf 5 verbunden ist. Um dies zu realisieren ist die Zylinderbohrung 4 innerhalb eines zylindrischen Einsatzes 10 eingebracht, der aus einem am Außenumfang gestuften Teil hergestellt ist. Dabei ist ein im Durchmesser kleinster Teil 12 des gestuften Teils in eine Gehäusebohrung 13 des Gehäuses 1 eingesetzt. Diesem kleinsten Teil 12 folgt ein im Durchmesser mittlerer Teil 14, der in einem entsprechend im Durchmesser weiteren Teil der Gehäusebohrung 13 eingesetzt ist und der schließlich über eine Schulter 16 in einen flanschartigen Teil 17 übergeht. Dieser liegt mit seiner Schulter auf einer entsprechenden Gehäuseschulter 18 des Gehäuses 1 auf und wird in einer zylindrischen Ausnehmung 19 aufgenommen, die durch einen das Gehäuses 1 überragenden Stutzen 20 gebildet wird. Ein an den mittleren Teil 14 angrenzender Endbereich des im Durchmesser kleineren Teils 12 ragt in den ansonsten den mittleren Teil 14 aufnehmenden Teil des Gehäusebohrungsteils 21 und bildet mit diesem einen Ringraum 23, in den der Zulauf 5 mündet. Von dem Ringraum 23 führt andererseits die Z-Drossel ab, so daß der Steuerdruckraum 7 über den Zulauf, den Ringraum 23 und die Z-Drossel 8 mit Kraftstoff versorgt werden kann. Es sind zusätzlich Dichtungen ober- und unterhalb dieses Ringraumes 23 vorgesehen, um diesen nach außen abzudichten.On its end face 6, which forms a movable wall, the plunger 3 includes in the cylinder bore 4 with its closed end a control pressure chamber 7, which is connected to the inlet 5 via an inlet throttle 8, also called a Z-throttle. In order to achieve this, the cylinder bore 4 is made within a cylindrical insert 10, which is made from a part stepped on the outer circumference. A part 12 of the stepped part with the smallest diameter is inserted into a housing bore 13 of the housing 1. This smallest part 12 is followed by a part 14 with a diameter, which is inserted in a correspondingly larger part of the housing bore 13 and which finally merges via a shoulder 16 into a flange-like part 17. This rests with its shoulder on a corresponding housing shoulder 18 of the housing 1 and is received in a cylindrical recess 19 which is formed by a connector 20 projecting beyond the housing 1. An end region adjoining the central part 14 of the part 12 of smaller diameter protrudes into the part of the housing bore part 21 which otherwise accommodates the central part 14 and forms with it an annular space 23 into which the inlet 5 opens. On the other hand, the Z throttle leads away from the annular space 23, so that the control pressure space 7 can be supplied with fuel via the inlet, the annular space 23 and the Z throttle 8. In addition, seals are provided above and below this annular space 23 in order to seal it to the outside.

Der Magnetkern 31 hat zum Flachanker 40 hin eine ebene Abschlußfläche 53, die in einer Ebene mit der Stirnseite des Magnetventilgehäuses liegt oder gegenüber dieser etwas hervorsteht. Somit kann einfacherweise eine exakte Bearbeitung dieser Fläche erfolgen. Damit beiClosed position. The magnetic core 31 has a flat end face 53 towards the flat armature 40, which lies in a plane with the end face of the solenoid valve housing or protrudes somewhat from it. This means that this surface can be machined precisely. With that
Erregung des Elektromagneten der Anker nicht in direkte Berührung mit der Abschlußfläche des Magnetkerns 31 gelangt ist zwischen dem Rand 54 des Magnetventilgehäuses 34 und der Stirnseite 44 des Randes 43 des Einsatzes 10 eine Zwischenscheibe 55 eingespannt, die einen Randbereich des Flachankers 40 übergreift. Somit gelangt der Flachanker 40 bei Erregung des Elektromagneten lediglich an diese Zwischenscheibe 55 und wird nicht remanenten Magnetkräften ausgesetzt. Dabei kann diese Zwischenscheibe antimagnetisch ausgebildet sein. Tritt der Rand 54 des MagnetventilgehäusesExcitation of the electromagnet of the armature does not come into direct contact with the end face of the magnetic core 31, an intermediate disk 55 is clamped between the edge 54 of the solenoid valve housing 34 and the end face 44 of the edge 43 of the insert 10, which overlaps an edge region of the flat armature 40. Thus, when the electromagnet is excited, the flat armature 40 only reaches this intermediate disk 55 and is not exposed to remanent magnetic forces. This washer can be made non-magnetic. Occurs the edge 54 of the solenoid valve housing
34 gegenüber der Abschlußfläche 53 zurück, kann die Zwischenscheibe 55 entsprechend dicker ausgeführt werden.34 back to the end face 53, the washer 55 can be made correspondingly thicker.
Im Betrieb des Kraftstoffeinspritzventils wird der Steuer- druckraum 7 über die Z-Drossel 8 ständig bei geschlossenem Magnetventil auf den hohen Druck gebracht, der auch im Kraftstoffhochdruckspeicher ansteht. Da die Stirnseite 6 des Stößels 3 eine größere Fläche aufweist als eine in bekannter Weise an der Einspritzventilnadel vorhandene, in Öffnungsriehtung wirkende Druckfläche, wird die Ventilnadel durch den hohen im Steuerdruckraum anstehenden Druck in Schließstellung gehalten. Sobald das Magnetventil erregt wird, kann der Steuerdruckraum über die Bohrung 25 und die Drossel 26 zu dem Entlastungsraum hin geöffnet werden. Der Entlastungsraum wird durch die Gesamtheit von Stößelführung und Ausnehmung 42 eingenommenen Raum gebildet. Die mit dem Entlastungsraum verbunden Entlastungsleitung ist in der Zeichnung nicht näher dargestellt. Schließt das Magnetventil wieder, indem die Erregung des Elektromagneten abgeschaltet wird, so baut sich im Steuerdruckraum 7 über die Drossel 8 schnell wieder der ursprüngliche hohe Druck auf und die Ventilnadel wird dann durch die aus diesem resultierende Kraft in Schließstellung gebracht.When the fuel injection valve is in operation, the control pressure chamber 7 is constantly brought to the high pressure via the Z throttle 8 when the solenoid valve is closed, which is also present in the high-pressure fuel accumulator. Since the end face 6 of the plunger 3 has a larger area than a pressure surface which is present on the injection valve needle and acts in the opening direction, the valve needle is held in the closed position by the high pressure in the control pressure chamber. As soon as the solenoid valve is energized, the control pressure chamber can be opened to the relief chamber via the bore 25 and the throttle 26. The relief space is provided by the entirety of the ram guide and recess 42 formed space. The relief line connected to the relief space is not shown in the drawing. If the solenoid valve closes again by switching off the excitation of the electromagnet, the original high pressure quickly builds up again in the control pressure chamber 7 via the throttle 8 and the valve needle is then brought into the closed position by the force resulting therefrom.
Die Ausgestaltung des Einsatzes mit dem Rand 43 erlaubt ferner eine sehr günstige Anpassung der geometrischen Maße des Ventilglieds an die des Flachankers 40. Vorteilhafter Weise wird dabei zur exakten Einstellung der Maße die Kugel 50 durch eine im Durchmesser größere Kugel ersetzt, die den Flachanker 40 in eine Position bringt, die seiner Position bei erregtem Elektromagneten entspricht. In dieser Position werden der Flachanker 40 und der Rand 43 des Einsatzes gemeinsam bearbeitet, so daß eine gemeinsame Ebene entsteht. Damit läßt sich der Hub des Flachankers 40 exakt auf das gewünschte Maß einstellen. Ferner wird durch die Dicke derThe design of the insert with the edge 43 also allows a very favorable adaptation of the geometric dimensions of the valve member to that of the flat anchor 40. Advantageously, for exact setting of the dimensions, the ball 50 is replaced by a ball with a larger diameter that holds the flat anchor 40 in brings a position that corresponds to its position when the electromagnet is excited. In this position, the flat anchor 40 and the edge 43 of the insert are processed together, so that a common plane is created. The stroke of the flat anchor 40 can thus be set exactly to the desired dimension. Furthermore, the thickness of the
Zwischenscheibe 55 auch der Restluftspalt exakt eingestellt. Die gesamte Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß der Einsatz leicht auf die erforderlichen Maße bearbeitet werden kann und in ebenfalls einfacher Weise zusammen mit dem Gehäuse des Magnetventils im Gehäuse des Einspritzventils eingespannt wird. Between the intermediate disc 55 and the residual air gap is also set exactly. The entire arrangement has the advantage that the insert can be easily machined to the required dimensions and is also clamped in a simple manner together with the housing of the solenoid valve in the housing of the injection valve.
