Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse für eine Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere eines Common-Rail-Einspritzsystems, bei dem die Einspritzdüse permanent von in einem Vorspeicher unter hohem Druck vorgehaltenem Kraftstoff beaufschlagt wird, wobei die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse eine mit einem zur Steuerung eines Düsenöffnungsvorgangs dienenden Betätigungselement gekoppelte Düsennadel mit einer Nadelspitze und einen mit der Nadelspitze der Düsennadel zusammenwirkenden Ventilsitz enthält, wobei der Ventilsitz eine konische Dichtfläche mit einem Öffnungswinkel α1 und die Nadelspitze eine im geschlossenen Zustand des Einspritzventils an dieser anliegende konische Dichtfläche mit einem Öffnungswinkel α2 aufweisen und Nadelspitze und Nadelgehäuse einen ringförmigen Strömungskanal begrenzen.The invention relates to a fuel injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine, in particular a common rail injection system, in which the injection nozzle is permanently acted upon by fuel held at high pressure in a preliminary store, the fuel injection nozzle having a nozzle needle coupled to an actuating element which serves to control a nozzle opening process Contains the needle tip and a valve seat interacting with the needle tip of the nozzle needle, the valve seat having a conical sealing surface with an opening angle α 1 and the needle tip having a conical sealing surface with an opening angle α 2 in the closed state of the injection valve, and the needle tip and needle housing having an annular flow channel limit.
Bei Kraftstoffeinspritzdüsen dieser Art besteht eine Schwierigkeit darin, daß oft schon nach kurzer Laufzeit starke Schädigungen durch Kavitation unterhalb des Ventilsitzes an Düsennadelspitze und Nadelgehäuse festzustellen sind, welche zu Undichtigkeiten im Ventilsitz und zum Ausfall der Düse führen können. Derartige Kavitationsschäden kommen insbesondere bei Common-Rail-Einspritzsystemen zum Tragen, da aufgrund des permanenten Anliegens des hohen Drucks des in dem Vorspeicher vorgehaltenen Kraftstoffs deutlich längere Kavitationsphasen während des Öffnens und Schließens der Einspritzdüse auftreten, verglichen mit Einspritzdüsen herkömmlicher Kraftstoffeinspritzsysteme.One problem with fuel injectors of this type is that often severe damage due to cavitation below the valve seat after a short running time Nozzle needle tip and needle housing are to be determined, which lead to leaks in the Valve seat and lead to failure of the nozzle. Such cavitation damage come into play particularly in common rail injection systems, because due to the permanent application of the high pressure of that stored in the preliminary storage Fuel significantly longer cavitation phases during the opening and closing of the Injector occur compared to more conventional injectors Fuel injection systems.
Aus der DE 36 05 082 A1 ist eine Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse für Brennkraftmaschinen bekannt, welche für ein herkömmliches Einspritzsystem vorgesehen ist und bei welcher in der mit dem Ventilsitz zusammenwirkenden Dichtfläche der Nadelspitze eine Ringnut vorgesehen ist, welche der Bildung einer turbulenten Grenzschicht der Strömung dient. Stromabwärts der Dichtfläche ist an der Nadelspitze zunächst ein konvex geformter Mantelflächenabschnitt vorgesehen, auf welchen ein konkav geformter Mantelflächenabschnitt folgt. Hierdurch soll die Neigung zu Ablösungen der Strömung im Bereich des Ventildurchgangs verringert und die Strömung bzw. die Strahlausbildung verbessert werden.DE 36 05 082 A1 describes a fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines known which is provided for a conventional injection system and in which an annular groove in the sealing surface of the needle tip interacting with the valve seat is provided, which serves to form a turbulent boundary layer of the flow. Downstream of the sealing surface there is initially a convex shape at the needle tip Sheath surface section provided, on which a concavely shaped Shell surface section follows.

In der DE 196 34 933 A1 ist ein Kraftstoffeinspritzventil aufgezeigt, bei dem zwei unterschiedliche Kegelwinkel aufweisende Bereiche einer Ventildichtfläche im Übergang stromabwärts des Ventilsitzes eine nutförmige Erweiterung aufweisen. Die Erweiterung dient der Erhöhung der Zumeßgenauigkeit der Einspritzmenge, indem eine definierte Lage der Dichtkante erzeugt wird. Auch die DE 195 47 423 A1 bedient sich nutförmiger Erweiterungen unterhalb des Ventilsitzes in Düsenkörper oder Düsennadel, um eine definierte Berührungslinie herzustellen. Die eine Erweiterung darstellende umlaufende radiale Ausnehmung ist sehr flach und wird mit 0,01 bis 0,06 mm angegeben. Es ist davon auszugehen, daß diese Erweiterung die Kavitation noch verstärkt und die Düsennadel und den Düsenkörper durch Erosion in den angrenzenden Wandungen in Mitleidenschaft zieht, was letztendlich zur Zerstörung des Einspritzventils führt.DE 196 34 933 A1 shows a fuel injection valve in which two Areas of a valve sealing surface in the transition that have different cone angles have a groove-shaped extension downstream of the valve seat. The extension serves to increase the metering accuracy of the injection quantity by a defined position the sealing edge is generated. DE 195 47 423 A1 also uses a groove Extensions below the valve seat in the nozzle body or nozzle needle by one create defined contact line. The circumferential one representing an extension radial recess is very flat and is specified with 0.01 to 0.06 mm. It's like that assume that this expansion increases the cavitation and the nozzle needle and the nozzle body is affected by erosion in the adjacent walls, which ultimately leads to the destruction of the injection valve.

Durch diese Ausbildung wird eine Strömungsumlenkung des Kraftstoffs in Richtung des Spritzlochs bewirkt. Es wird ein rascher Druckabfall vermieden, so dass das Auftreten von Kavitation im Düsenbereich reduziert wird.From DE 38 10 467 A1 a fuel injection nozzle emerges as known, in which the injection-side end of the nozzle needle with a rotationally symmetrical constriction is provided. Through this design, a flow deflection of the fuel in Direction of the spray hole. A rapid drop in pressure is avoided, so that Occurrence of cavitation in the nozzle area is reduced.

Der Strömungsquerschnitt wird ausgehend vom Ventilsitz allmählich vergrößert und nach einer Strömungsumlenkung allmählich wieder verkleinert.In the injection nozzle shown in GB 2 029 508 A, the flow cross section between the valve seat and the injection holes by suitable shaping of Nozzle needle tip and nozzle housing gradually changed to separate the flow and avoid instabilities. The flow cross section is based on the valve seat gradually increased and gradually reduced again after a flow deflection.

Advantageous developments of the fuel injector according to the invention are in the Subclaims marked.
Durch die Erfindung wird eine Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse für eine Brennkraftmaschine, insbesondere eines Common-Rail-Einspritzsystems, bei dem die Einspritzdüse permanent von in einem Vorspeicher unter hohem Druck vorgehaltenem Kraftstoff beaufschlagt wird, geschaffen. Die Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse enthält eine mit einem zur Steuerung eines Düsenöffnungsvorgangs dienenden Betätigungselement gekoppelte Düsennadel mit einer Nadelspitze und einen mit der Nadelspitze der Düsennadel zusammenwirkenden Ventilsitz, wobei der Ventilsitz eine konische Dichtfläche mit einem Öffnungswinkel α1 und die Nadelspitze eine im geschlossenen Zustand des Einspritzventils an dieser anliegende konische Dichtfläche mit einem Öffnungswinkel α2 aufweisen und Nadelspitze und Nadelgehäuse einen ringförmigen Strömungskanal begrenzen. Es ist vorgesehen, daß der Öffnungswinkel α2 der Dichtfläche der Nadelspitze kleiner als der Öffnungswinkel α1 der Dichtfläche des Ventilsitzes ist, und daß in Strömungsrichtung des Kraftstoffs auf die Dichtflächen folgend eine Erweiterung des ringförmigen Strömungskanals zwischen Nadelspitze und Nadelgehäuse ausgebildet ist, derart, daß sowohl an Nadelspitze als auch am Nadelgehäuse Erweiterungen in Form von Rücksprüngen einen Kavitationsraum bilden, in dem die Implosion von Kavitationsblasen wandfern erfolgt. D. h., daß Größe und Form des Kavitationsraums gezielt so gehalten sind, daß die Kavitationsblasen im Abstand zu den Wandungen des von Düsennadel und Nadelgehäuse gebildeten ringförmigen Strömungskanals geführt werden und zerfallen und dadurch keine Erosion der Wandungen erfolgt.The invention provides a fuel injection nozzle for an internal combustion engine, in particular a common rail injection system, in which the injection nozzle is permanently acted upon by fuel held at high pressure in a preliminary store.

Vorteilhafterweise beträgt der Öffnungswinkel α4 des Endabschnitts zwischen 40° und 65°, vorzugsweise zwischen 50° und 55°.The opening angle α 4 of the end section is advantageously between 40 ° and 65 °, preferably between 50 ° and 55 °.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist es vorgesehen, daß die Nadelspitze stromaufwärts der Dichtfläche einen gegenüber dem Durchmesser des Nadelkörpers verbreiterten wulstförmigen Abschnitt aufweist.According to a development of the invention, it is provided that the needle tip upstream of the sealing surface against the diameter of the needle body has widened bead-shaped section.
Dieser wulstförmige Abschnitt kann durch aufeinanderfolgende konische und/oder zylindrische Ringflächen gebildet sein. This bead-shaped section can be formed by successive conical and / or cylindrical ring surfaces can be formed.
Alternativ kann der wulstförmige Abschnitt durch eine linsenförmige oder kugelförmige Fläche gebildet sein.Alternatively, the bead-shaped portion may be lenticular or spherical Be formed.
Vorteilhafterweise beträgt der Durchmesser des wulstförmigen Abschnitts das 1,05-fache bis 1,2-fache, vorzugsweise das 1,1-fache bis 1,15-fache des Durchmessers des Nadelkörpers der Düsennadel.The diameter of the bead-shaped section is advantageously 1.05 times up to 1.2 times, preferably 1.1 times to 1.15 times the diameter of the Needle body of the nozzle needle.

Im folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand der
Zeichnung erläutert. Es zeigen:
In Figur 1 ist die geschnittene Seitenansicht einer Einspritzdüse eines Common-Rail-Einspritzsystems
im Bereich der Nadelspitze der Düsennadel dargestellt. In einem
Nadelgehäuse 14 ist eine Düsennadel, deren Nadelkörper mit dem Bezugszeichen 11
versehen ist, in Axialrichtung verschieblich gelagert. An der Nadelspitze 12 befindet sich
eine konische Dichtfläche 13, welche mit der Dichtfläche 16 eines an dem Nadelgehäuse
14 vorgesehenen Ventilsitzes 15 im Sinne eines Öffnens und Schließens der Einspritzdüse
bei Bewegung der Düsennadel 11 zusammenwirkt. An dem der Nadelspitze 12
entgegengesetzten Ende ist die Düsennadel 11 mit einem zur Steuerung eines
Düsenöffnungsvorgangs dienenden Betätigungselement gekoppelt, das in der Figur nicht
dargestellt ist. In Figure 1 is the sectional side view of an injection nozzle of a common rail injection system
shown in the area of the needle tip of the nozzle needle. In one
Needle housing 14 is a nozzle needle, the needle body of which is identified by
An der Vorderseite der Düsennadel 11 ist in dem Nadelgehäuse 14 ein Sackloch 110
ausgebildet, von welchem Einspritzöffnungen 120 ausgehen, welche zum Einspritzen des
Kraftstoffs in den Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine dienen. Die Nadelspitze 12 der
Düsennadel 11 ist mit einem Endabschnitt 121 in Form eines spitz zulaufenden Konus
versehen, welcher tief in das Sackloch 110 hineinragt. Zwischen der Dichtfläche 13 und
dem konischen Endabschnitt 121 ist an der Oberfläche der Nadelspitze 12 eine
Erweiterung des zwischen Nadelspitze 12 und Nadelgehäuse 14 gebildeten ringförmigen
Strömungskanals 17 in Form eines im Querschnitt konkaven Verlaufs 19 hergestellt.
Diesem konkaven Verlauf 19 der Nadelspitze 12 gegenüberliegend ist an der Innenwand
des Nadelgehäuses 14 eine Erweiterung des zwischen Nadelspitze 12 und Nadelgehäuse 14
gebildeten ringförmigen Strömungskanals 17 in Form eines im Querschnitt ebenfalls
konkaven Verlaufs 18 hergestellt. Zwischen der Dichtfläche 13 und dem Nadelkörper 11
ist eine Übergangsfläche 111 ausgebildet, die einen Winkel α3 aufweist und den Winkel
zwischen der zylindrischen Mantelfläche des Nadelkörpers 11 und der Dichtfläche 13 im
wesentlichen halbiert. Die Dichtfläche 16 des Ventilsitzes 15 weist einen Öffnungswinkel
α1 auf, welcher bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel 60° beträgt, während die
Dichtfläche 13 der Nadelspitze 12 einen Öffnungswinkel α2 aufweist, welcher kleiner als
der Öffnungswinkel α1 der Dichtfläche 16 des Ventilsitzes 15 ist und bei dem dargestellten
Ausführungsbeispiel 58,5° beträgt. Somit befindet sich die engste Stelle des
Nadeldichtsitzes zwischen der Dichtfläche 13 der Düsennadelspitze 12 und der Dichtfläche
16 des Ventilsitzes 15 im vorderen Bereich der Nadelspitze 12, was gegenüber
herkömmlichen Dichtsitzgeometrien eine inverse Sitzwinkeldifferenz bedeutet. Nach
dieser Engstelle erweitert sich der zwischen Nadelspitze 12 und Nadelgehäuse 14 gebildete
ringförmige Strömungskanal 17 durch die konkaven Verläufe 18,19, wodurch eine
"Kavitationsfalle" oder Kavitationsraum für die Kavitationsblasen gebildet wird, die
aufgrund der inversen Sitzwinkeldifferenz in definierter Weise an der engsten Stelle des
Nadeldichtsitzes unmittelbar stromaufwärts der konkaven Verläufe 18,19 gebildet werden.
Zum Vergleich mit einer herkömmlichen Nadelspitzengeometrie ist eine solche in Figur 1
gestrichelt dargestellt. Der Rücksprung an Düsennadel und Nadelgehäuse stellt eine
plötzliche Erweiterung dar, in der sich gezielt Kavitationsblasen bilden. Dabei ist der
Rücksprung so ausgebildet oder bemessen, daß die anschließende Implosion der
Kavitationsblasen nicht in unmittelbarer Nähe der Wandungen erfolgt, sondern vielmehr in
der Mitte der Strömung oder zumindest im Abstand zur Düsennadel. Die durch die
Erweiterung gebildete Spaltweite beträgt an der breitesten Stelle mehr als 0,05 mm.
Günstiger sind Spaltweiten um 0,5 mm oder mehr. Im stromabwärtigen Anschluß an den
Kavitationsraum folgt ein Strömungskanal, dessen Querschnitt vorzugsweise so
ausgebildet ist, daß die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit ungefähr konstant bleibt. Vorzugsweise
ist die kegelförmige Wand des Nadelgehäuses im Anschluß an den Kavitationsraum etwas
steiler geneigt, als im stromaufwärtigen Bereich, was eine Umlenkung der Strömung in
Richtung auf die Spritzlöcher bewirkt.At the front of the
In Figur 2 ist die Nadelspitze 12 der Düsennadel 11 aus Figur 1 nochmals vergrößert
dargestellt. Wie insbesondere aus dem vergrößerten Ausschnitt X ersichtlich ist, ist der
konkave Verlauf 18 durch einen Radius gebildet, welcher bei dem gezeigten
Ausführungsbeispiel 0,5 mm beträgt. Durch diesen Radius wird eine hohlkehlenförmige,
ringförmige Ausnehmung gebildet, welche von einer ersten Kante 191 an der Dichtfläche
13 zu einer zweiten Kante 192 an dem vorderen Endabschnitt 121 der Nadelspitze 12
verläuft. Der konkave Verlauf 18 an der Innenseite des Nadelgehäuses 14 ist ebenfalls
durch einen Radius gebildet, welcher von einer stromaufwärtigen Kante 181 zu einer
stromabwürtigen Kante 182 verläuft, vergleiche Figur 1. Wie ebenfalls aus Figur 1
ersichtlich ist, ist das Zentrum der konkaven Erweiterung 18 des Nadelgehäuses 14 bei
geschlossenen Ventil gegenüber dem Zentrum der konkaven Erweiterung 19 der
Nadelspitze 12 nach stromaufwärts versetzt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel sind die
beiden Erweiterungen 18,19 an Nadelgehäuse 14 und Nadelspitze 12 durch gleiche Radien
gebildet, so daß sich eine Breite des Kavitationsraums an der breitesten Stelle von ca.
1 mm ergibt.The
Bei einem in Figur 3 dargestellten zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel einer Düsennadel, wie sie
mit einem Nadelgehäuse der in Figur 1 dargestellten Art kombinierbar ist, ist an der
Nadelspitze 32 stromaufwärts einer Dichtfläche 33 ein gegenüber dem Durchmesser des
Nadelkörpers 31 verbreiteter wulstförmiger Abschnitt 320 ausgebildet. Dieser
wulstförmige Abschnitt 320 ist durch aufeinanderfolgende Ringflächen 321, 322,323
gebildet, von denen die Ringflächen 321 und 323 als konische Flächen ausgebildet sind,
während die Ringfläche 322 in Form einer zylindrischen Ringfläche gebildet ist, vergleiche
Einzelheit Y. Der Durchmesser des wulstförmigen Abschnitts 320 beträgt an seiner
breitesten Stelle, d.h. an der Ringfläche 322 rund das 1,15-fache des Durchmessers des
Nadelkörpers 31 der Düsennadel. Die Längsausdehnung des wulstförmigen Abschnitts 320
in Richtung der Nadelachse beträgt etwa das 0,25-fache des Durchmessers des
Nadelkörpers 31. Abweichend von der Ausgestaltung des wulstförmigen Abschnitts 320
durch aufeinanderfolgende konische und zylindrische Ringflächen kann der wulstförmige
Abschnitt 320 auch durch eine linsenförmige oder kugelförmige Fläche 324 gebildet sein,
wie in der Einzelheit Y gestrichelt dargestellt.In a second exemplary embodiment of a nozzle needle, as shown in FIG
can be combined with a needle housing of the type shown in
Unmittelbar auf die Dichtfläche 33 der Nadelspitze 32 folgend ist eine Erweiterung in
Form eines konischen Verlaufs 39 ausgebildet, welche durch einen Radius gebildet ist, wie
in der Einzelheit X dargestellt. Die konische Erweiterung 39 geht einerseits mit einer Kante
391 in die Dichtfläche 33 und andereiseits mit einer Kante 392 in den Endabschnitt 321 der
Düsenspitze 32 über.Immediately following the sealing
Wie in Figur 3 dargestellt, weist die Dichtfläche 33 der Nadelspitze 32 einen
Öffnungswinkel α2 von 59,8° auf, gegenüber einem Öffnungswinkel α1 von 60° der
Dichtfläche des Ventilsitzes des damit kombinierten Nadelgehäuses. Der Öffnungswinkel
α4 des Endabschnitts 321 beträgt 55°. Die konische Ringfläche 323 des wulstförmigen
Abschnitts 320 ist mit einem Öffnungswinkel von 45° als Übergangsfläche zwischen der
Dichtfläche 33 und der zylindrischen Ringfläche 322 des wulstförmigen Abschnitts 320
ausgebildet. As shown in Figure 3, the sealing
