  • a control piston is arranged downstream of the metering piston and has guide elements for the fuel.
  • the control piston is moved by a hydraulic system between two end positions, which is controlled electrically.
  • the metering piston is driven by fuel from the fuel pump.
  • the fuel is supplied via the guide elements from a fuel pump to the metering chamber or from the metering chamber of the injection nozzle of a cylinder of a reciprocating internal combustion engine.
  • JP 60 162 021 describes an injection device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device for injecting fuel for a reciprocating internal combustion engine, wherein the fuel is supplied to the metering piston under a lower pressure than the injection pressure.
  • the use of the pressure intensifier simplifies the supply of fuel and consequently eliminates the accumulator for the fuel under high pressure up to 2,000 bar and the high-pressure pumps.
  • control valves the control of the injectors in register and stutter injection and / or switching off one or more injectors of an engine cylinder is made possible. If all injectors of an engine cylinder fail, the engine can be run with the remaining cylinders at partial load.
  • the injection volume can be kept constant. In case of failure of the distance measurement, the injection is timed. If an ignition pressure measuring device is used, the ignition pressure can be regulated to the permissible value with the injection device, so that the most favorable fuel consumption is always achieved.
  • the injection device includes a pressure booster 1 and a spool 2, which are displaceable between two end positions and a control valve 3 and a hydraulic-electrical device 4.
  • the pressure booster 1 is designed as a stepped piston having two pistons 7, 8 with different diameters.
  • the pistons 7, 8 are each arranged displaceably in a chamber 9, 10, wherein the chamber 9 for the larger piston 7 via a channel 11 communicates with the spool 2 and wherein the chamber 10 for the smaller piston 8 via a channel 12th communicates with the control valve 3 and via a channel 13 with an arrangement 14 for supplying fuel, for example diesel fuel or heavy oil.
  • an elastic means 15 is arranged, which holds the pressure booster 1 in an end position.
  • the connecting channel 11 is closed to the control slide 2 and the connecting channels 12 and 13 open to the control valve 3 and to the arrangement 14 for supplying fuel.
  • the spool 2 is arranged in a cylindrical chamber 21, the supply channel 22, the consumer channel 11, which leads to the pressure booster 1 and a discharge channel 24 and at the end faces a channel 25 for pressure medium and a channel 26 for the leakage.
  • a spring 27 is arranged, which holds the spool 2 in an end position, the channel 25 is completed.
  • the spool 2 is cylindrical and has two control edges 32, 32 to control the flow of a medium.
  • the control valve 3 has an open / close function and has a valve body 41 with a seat, a feed channel 42 for fuel, a return channel 43 and a consumer channel 44, a valve spool 45 with a poppet 46 and a known actuator 47 for the valve spool.
  • the hydraulic-electric device 4 comprises a plurality of hydraulic pumps 51 (only one shown), an accumulator 52, pilot valves 53, 54 for the spool 2 and the control valve 3, an angle sensor 55, which indicates both the angle of rotation and the crankshaft position, means 56 for Sensing the position of the pressure booster and an electronic control unit 57 which is connected to the pilot valves 53, 54, the angle sensor 55 and the device 56 signal transmitting.
  • the device 56 is advantageously designed as an inductive measuring system.
  • an adaptive component injection volume control may be provided.
  • a speed dependent adaptive start of injection control is provided. The monitoring and control of the actual values of the position and speed is carried out by comparison with the setpoint values of the position and the speed of the metering piston.
  • conduit 61 branch off the accumulator 52, which are respectively provided for a cylinder of a reciprocating internal combustion engine, wherein the cylinder may have one or more injection nozzles.
  • the conduit 61 is connected to the supply passage 22 of the spool 2 and the pilot valves 53, 54.
  • a conduit 62 is provided for each outlet valve (not shown).
  • the pressure booster 1 communicates with the control valve 3.
  • a plurality of control valves 3 may be connected to the pressure booster 1.
  • the pressure booster fulfills two tasks, one Dosing and a pressure increase of the fuel for each injection process.
  • the metering of the fuel takes place by means of the device 56, which continuously determines the path of the displacement and applies it as signals to the control electronics 57. From the cross-sectional area of the smaller piston 8 of the pressure booster 1 and from the distance traveled, the displaced volume is determined, thereby realizing a volumetric injection.
  • the Dosierkolbenwegwalller indirectly also broken injector heads can be determined, because in such a case, the Dosierkolben beaut, the Dosierkolben 1987 is greater than usual during the injection process.
  • This signal will cause the control electronics to suppress fuel injection into a defective injector cylinder and, if necessary, reduce the overall engine load and / or indicate the fault with a display device.
  • the hydraulic pumps promote control oil to a pressure of about 100 to 300 bar in the accumulator 52. The energy contained in this oil is used to actuate the device in question here.
  • the figure shows the device in the pre-injection condition, in which the assembly 14 has supplied fuel to the pressure booster 1, which is under a pressure of about 10 bar and can use the injection, which proceeds as follows.
  • the pilot valve 53 is controlled for the spool 2 from the control electronics 57 and the spool moved relatively slowly in the working position.
  • the control oil flows into the larger chamber 9 of the pressure booster 1 and displaces the stepped piston, so that the fuel present in the smaller chamber 10 is displaced.
  • the small chamber 10 is closed on the one hand by a check valve in the assembly 14 and on the other hand by the closed control valve 3, a pressure is built up which corresponds to the area ratio of the stepped piston.
  • the valve spool 45 is actuated and the control valve 3 is opened, so that the fuel flows to the injection nozzle. To prevent the injection at low pressure, the injection process is completed quickly.
  • the spool 2 After completion of the injection process, the spool 2 is returned to the rest position, so that the control oil from the larger chamber 9 of the booster 1 can flow off via the channels 11 and 24. This provision is supported by the means 15 and the newly flowing into the smaller chamber 10 of the booster 1 fuel.
  • the apparatus includes a metering piston, which is formed as a pressure booster (1) with a stepped piston to set a fuel quantity and bring to injection pressure and at least one control valve (3) to supply one or more injectors (5) with fuel.
  • the pressure booster (1) and the control valve are actuated by an electrically controlled, hydraulic system, which is acted upon by a pump with working oil at a pressure substantially lower than the injection pressure. By the control valves (3) an individual injection is possible.
