Description

Ventil zum dosierten Einleiten von verflüchtigtem Brennstoff in einen Ansaugkanal einer BrennkraftmaschineValve for the metered introduction of volatilized fuel into an intake duct of an internal combustion engine
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Ventil zum dosierten Einleiten von aus dem Brennstofftank einer Brennkraftmaschine verflüchtigtem Brennstoff in einen Ansaugkanal der Brennkraftmaschine nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a valve for the metered introduction of fuel volatilized from the fuel tank of an internal combustion engine into an intake duct of the internal combustion engine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Ein derartiges Ventil ist beispielsweise aus der DE 42 44 113 AI bekannt. Bei diesem Ventil wird eine störende Geräuschbildung beim Betrieb des Ventils durch wenigstens ein Dämpferelement erheblich reduziert. Darüber hinaus weist dieses Ventil eine verbesserte Ver- schleissresistenz auf, da ein Aufeinanderprallen relativ zueinander bewegter metallischer Teile verhindert oder zumindest abgeschwächt wird.Such a valve is known for example from DE 42 44 113 AI. In this valve, a disturbing noise during operation of the valve is considerably reduced by at least one damper element. In addition, this valve has an improved wear resistance, since a collision of metallic parts moving relative to each other is prevented or at least weakened.
Durch dieses Ventil ist bereits eine deutliche Verminderung störender Nebengeräusche möglich.This valve already significantly reduces annoying background noises.
Insbesondere bei benzindirekteinspritzenden Brennkraftmaschinen, welche mit einem größeren Luftdurchsatz arbeiten, wird jedoch von den Kraftfahrzeugherstellern eine weitere Geräuschverminderung beim Betrieb derartiger Ventile gefordert.In particular in the case of gasoline direct injection internal combustion engines which work with a larger air throughput, motor vehicle manufacturers are required to further reduce the noise when operating such valves.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsgemäßes Ventil zum dosierten Einleiten von aus dem Brennstofftank einer Brennkraftmaschine verflüchtigtem Brennstoff in einen Ansaugkanal der Brennkraftmaschine so weiterzubilden, daß eine weitere Minimierung der Betriebsgeräusche auch bei einem erhöhten Luftdurchsatz durch das Ventil möglich ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of developing a generic valve for the metered introduction of fuel volatilized from the fuel tank of an internal combustion engine into an intake duct of the internal combustion engine such that a further minimization of the operating noise is possible even with an increased air throughput through the valve.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Ventil zum dosierten Einleiten von aus dem Brennstofftank einer Brennkraftmaschine verflüchtigtem Brennstoff in einen Ansaugkanal der Brennkraftmaschine der eingangs beschriebenen Art durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gelöst. Dadurch, dass der wenigstens einen Ventilöffnung im Ventilschließglied wenigstens eine weitere Öffnung gegenüberliegt, die von im wesentlichen gleicher Gestalt wie die Ventilöffnung und größer als diese ausgebildet und von dem Dämpfungselement an ihrer dem Ventilsitzkörper zugewandten Seite überdeckt ist, weist das Dämpfungselement an seiner im Bereich der Ventilöffnung angeordneten Dichtfläche eine elastische Auflagefläche auf, welche den Aufprall des Ventilschließglieds. auf die Dichtfläche der Ventilöffnung in dem Ventilsitzkörper federnd abdämpft. Hierdurch ist eine besonders effektive Minimierung der Betriebsgeräusche möglich.This object is achieved in a valve for the metered introduction of fuel volatilized from the fuel tank of an internal combustion engine into an intake duct of the internal combustion engine of the type described in the introduction by the features of the main claim. Characterized in that the at least one valve opening in the valve closing member is opposite at least one further opening which is of essentially the same shape as that Valve opening and larger than this and is covered by the damping element on its side facing the valve seat body, the damping element has on its sealing surface arranged in the region of the valve opening an elastic contact surface, which the impact of the valve closing member. dampens on the sealing surface of the valve opening in the valve seat body. This enables a particularly effective minimization of the operating noise.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass die dem Ventilεitzkörper zugewandte Stirnseite des Ventilschließglieds von dem Dämpfungselement wenigstens teilweise flächig überdeckt ist. Dies ermöglicht eine großflächige und gut haftende Befestigung des Dämpfungselements an dem Ventilschließglied.In an advantageous embodiment it is provided that the end face of the valve closing member facing the valve seat body is at least partially covered by the damping element. This enables the damping element to be fastened to the valve closing member over a large area and adheres well.
Das Dämpfungselement durchragt die wenigstens eine weitere Öffnung vorteilhafterweise und bildet an der dem Elektromagneten zugewandten zweiten Stirnseite eine höckerförmig ausgebildete Dichtfläche, die der Begrenzungslinie der in ihm angeordneten wenigstens einen weiteren Öffnung wenigstens teilweise folgt. Diese Anordnung ermöglicht nicht nur eine besonders einfach, herzustellende Befestigung des Dämpfungselements an. dem Ventilschließglied. Durch diese Anordnung wird insbesondere auch ermöglicht, dass das Dämpfungselement an beiden Stirnseiten des Ventilschließglieds angeordnet ist und so eine metallische Berührung des Ventilschließglieds mit dem Ventilsitzkörper oder mit einer an dem Elektromagneten angeordneten Dichtfläche beimThe damping element advantageously projects through the at least one further opening and forms a cusp-shaped sealing surface on the second end facing the electromagnet, which at least partially follows the boundary line of the at least one further opening arranged in it. This arrangement not only enables the damping element to be attached in a particularly simple manner. the valve closing member. This arrangement also makes it possible, in particular, for the damping element to be arranged on both end faces of the valve closing element and thus for the valve closing element to come into metallic contact with the valve seat body or with a arranged on the electromagnet sealing surface at
Aufprallen auf diese vermieden wird.Impact on this is avoided.
Das Dämpfungselement besteht vorzugsweise aus einem elastomeren Material. Es kann beispielsweise aus Gummi bestehen, der auf die an dem Ventilsitzkörper zugewandte Stirnseite des Ventilschließglieds und in der wenigstens einen weiteren Öffnung aufvulkanisiert ist und neben der Dämpfungs- auch eine Dichtungsfunktion erfüllt.The damping element is preferably made of an elastomeric material. It can be made of rubber, for example, which is vulcanized onto the end face of the valve closing member facing the valve seat body and in the at least one further opening and also performs a sealing function in addition to the damping function.

Ein Ventil zum dosierten Zumischen von aus dem Brennstofftank einer gemischverdichtenden, fremdgezündeten Brennkraftmaschine verflüchtigten Brennstoff zu einem der Brennkraftmaschine über einen Ansaugkanal oder bei einer Benzindirekteinspritzung direkt in einen Zylinder der Brennkraftmaschine zugeführten Brennstoff, dargestellt in Fig. 1 und im folgenden Tankentlüftungsventil genannt, ist Teil eines nicht näher dargestellten Brennstoffverdunstungsrückhaltesystems einer Brennkraftmaschine. Der Aufbau und die Funktion derartiger Brennstoffverdunstungsrückhaltesysteme ist beispielsweise der "Bosch Technische Unterrichtung Motor Management Motronic", 2. Ausgabe, August 1993, Seiten 48 und 49 entnehmbar. Ein Tankentlüftungsventil und dessen Funktion geht beispielsweise aus der DE 42 44 113 AI sowie aus der DE 196 11 886 AI, auf die vorliegend Bezug genommen wird, hervor.A valve for the metered admixture of fuel volatilized from the fuel tank of a mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engine to a fuel supplied to the internal combustion engine via an intake duct or, in the case of direct petrol injection, directly into a cylinder of the internal combustion engine, shown in FIG. 1 and referred to below as the tank ventilation valve, is part of one Fuel evaporation retention system, not shown, of an internal combustion engine. The structure and function of such fuel evaporation retention systems can be found, for example, in "Bosch Technical Instruction Motor Management Motronic", 2nd Edition, August 1993, pages 48 and 49. A tank ventilation valve and its function can be seen, for example, from DE 42 44 113 AI and from DE 196 11 886 AI, to which reference is made here.
Das Tankentlüftungsventil weist ein zweiteiliges Ventilgehäuse 10 mit einem topfförmigen Gehäuseteil 101 und einem diesen abschließenden, kappenförmigen Gehäuseteil 102 auf. Der topfförmige Gehäuseteil 101 trägt einen Zuströmstutzen 11 zum Anschließen an einen Entlüftungsstutzen des Brennstofftanks oder an einen diesem nachgeschalteten, mit Aktivkohle gefüllten Speicher für den verflüchtigten Brennstoff. Der Gehäuseteil 102 trägt einen Abströmstutzen 12 zum Anschließen an das Ansaugrohr der Brennkraftmaschine sowie ein elektri- sches Kontaktelement, beispielsweise eine Buchse 80 zum Anschließen einer elektrischen Leitung für einen Elektromagneten 13. Der Zuεtrömstutzen 11 und der Abströmstutzen 12 sind miteinander im wesentlichen fluchtend jeweils axial in den Gehäuseteilen 101, 102 angeordnet. Im Inneren des topfförmigen Gehäuseteils 101 ist der Elektromagnet 13 angeordnet.The tank ventilation valve has a two-part valve housing 10 with a cup-shaped housing part 101 and a cap-shaped housing part 102 that closes the latter. The pot-shaped housing part 101 carries an inflow connection 11 for connection to a ventilation connection of the fuel tank or to a storage tank for the volatilized fuel which is connected to it and filled with activated carbon. The housing part 102 carries an outflow connection 12 for connection to the intake pipe of the internal combustion engine and an electrical cal contact element, for example a socket 80 for connecting an electrical line for an electromagnet 13. The inlet connection 11 and the outlet connection 12 are each arranged essentially flush with one another axially in the housing parts 101, 102. The electromagnet 13 is arranged in the interior of the pot-shaped housing part 101.
Der Elektromagnet 13 weist ein topfförmiges Magnetgehäuse 14 mit einem den Topfboden durchdringenden, koaxialen, hohlzylindrischen Magnetkern 15 und eine zylindrische Erregerspule 16 auf, die auf einem Spulenträger 17 sitzt, der im Magnetgehäuse 14 den Magnetkern 15 umschließt. Am Boden des Magnetgehauses 14 ist ein nach außen vorspringender Gewindestutzen 18 mit einem Innengewinde ausgebildet, das mit einem Aussengewindeabschnitt des hohlzylindrischen Magnetkerns 15 verschraubt ist. Der Magnetkern 15 kann damit durch Drehen im Magnetgehäuse 14 zu Justierzwecken axial verschoben werden. Der Magnetkern 15 fluchtet mit dem Zuströmstutzen 11, so daß der hier einströmende, verflüchtigte Brennstoff direkt den Magnetkern 15 durchströmt.The electromagnet 13 has a pot-shaped magnet housing 14 with a coaxial, hollow-cylindrical magnet core 15 penetrating the bottom of the pot and a cylindrical excitation coil 16 which is seated on a coil carrier 17 which surrounds the magnet core 15 in the magnet housing 14. At the bottom of the magnet housing 14, an outwardly projecting threaded connector 18 is formed with an internal thread, which is screwed to an external thread section of the hollow cylindrical magnetic core 15. The magnetic core 15 can thus be axially displaced by rotating it in the magnet housing 14 for adjustment purposes. The magnetic core 15 is aligned with the inflow nozzle 11, so that the volatilized fuel flowing in here flows directly through the magnetic core 15.
'Der Rand des Magnetgehauses 14 ist nach aussen zu einem ringförmigen Auflageflansch 20 abgewinkelt, an dem ein das Rückschluss- oder Ringspaltjoch des Elektromagneten 13 bildender Ventilsitzkörper 22 aufliegt, der das Magnetgehäuse 14 abdeckt. Der Ventilsitzkörper 22 ist über Dämpfungselemente 53, die beispielsweise aus Gummi bestehen, in dem Gehäuseteil 101 und dem Gehäuseteil 102 gedämpft gelagert und wird von Dämpfungselementen 52, 53, die ihn randseitig umschließen, und dem kappen- förmigen Gehäuseteil 102 auf den Auflageflansch 20 ge- presst. Hierdurch wird einerseits die Übertragung von Körperschall auf das Ventilgehäuse 10 reduziert, andererseits erfüllen die Dämpfungselemente 52, 53 gleichzeitig auch eine Dichtfunktion.The edge of the magnet housing 14 is angled outwards to form an annular support flange 20, on which a valve seat body 22, which forms the yoke or annular gap yoke of the electromagnet 13, lies and which covers the magnet housing 14. The valve seat body 22 is mounted in a damped manner in the housing part 101 and the housing part 102 via damping elements 53, which consist for example of rubber, and is damped by damping elements 52, 53, which enclose it at the edge, and the cap-shaped housing part 102 is pressed onto the support flange 20. On the one hand, this reduces the transmission of structure-borne noise to the valve housing 10, and on the other hand, the damping elements 52, 53 also fulfill a sealing function.
In dem den Ventilsitzkörper 22 bildenden Rückschlussjoch sind zwei Ventilöffnungen 25, von beispielsweise kreissegmentför iger Gestalt, angeordnet, die mittels eines zwischen dem das Rückschlussjoch bildenden Ventilsitzkörper 22 und dem Magnetkern 15.angeordneten. Ventilschließgliedes 27 verschließbar sind. Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 bis Fig. 4 hervorgeht, ist zentral in dem Ventilschließglied 27 koaxial zum hohlzylindrischen Magnetkern 15 eine axiale Durchgangsöffnung 28 vorgesehen, durch die vom Zuströmstutzen 11 herkommender, verflüchtigter Brennstoff bei geöffneten Ventilöffnungen 25 des Ventilsitzkörpers 22 zum Abströmstutzen 12 gelangen kann.In the yoke forming the valve seat body 22, two valve openings 25, for example in the form of a circular segment, are arranged, which are arranged by means of a valve seat body 22 forming the yoke and the magnetic core 15. Valve closing member 27 are closable. As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 to 4, an axial passage opening 28 is provided centrally in the valve closing member 27 coaxial with the hollow cylindrical magnetic core 15, through which volatilized fuel coming from the inflow nozzle 11 can reach the outflow nozzle 12 when the valve openings 25 of the valve seat body 22 are open ,
Das aus magnetisch leitendem Material hergestellte Ventilschließglied 27 ist von einem Rückstellmittel in Form einer Ventilschließfeder 31 in Ventilschließrichtung in Richtung des Abströmstutzens 12 beaufschlagt. Die Ventilschließfeder 31 stützt sich einerseits am Ventilschließglied 27, andererseits an einem hülsenför- igen Ende des Magnetkerns 15 ab.The valve closing member 27 made of magnetically conductive material is acted upon by a restoring means in the form of a valve closing spring 31 in the valve closing direction in the direction of the outflow connector 12. The valve closing spring 31 is supported on the one hand on the valve closing member 27 and on the other hand on a sleeve-shaped end of the magnetic core 15.
Wie insbesondere aus Fig. 2 bis Fig. 5 hervorgeht, sind in dem Ventilschließglied 27 zwei weitere Öffnungen 29 angeordnet, die im wesentlichen die längliche, teilringförmige Form der in dem Ventilsitzkörper 22 ausgebildeten Ventilöffnungen 25 aufweisen, aber größer als diese ausgebildet sind. Im Bereich dieser weiteren Öffnungen 29 und auf seiner dem Ventilεitzkörper 22 zugewandten Stirnseite ist ein elastomeres Dämpfungsele- ent, beispielsweise in Form eines Dichtgummiε 60 aufvulkanisiert, das die weiteren Öffnungen 29 durchragt und welches an der dem Elektromagneten 15 zugewandten zweiten Stirnseite des Ventilschließglieds 27 eine hök- kerför ig ausgebildete Dichtfläche 62 aufweist, die einer Begrenzungslinie der weiteren Öffnungen 29 wenigstens teilweise folgt. Durch die weiteren Öffnungen 29, die geringfügig größer ausgebildet sind als die Ventilöffnungen 25 in dem Ventilsitzglied 22, und die von dem Dämpfungselement 60 überdeckt sind, wird der Aufprall des als Anker wirkenden Ventilschließglieds 27 auf die Dichtfläche der Ventilöf nung 25 in dem Ventilsitzglied 27 aufgrund der so elastisch federnd ausgebildeten Auflageflächen des Dämpfungselements 60 gedämpft. Hierdurch entsteht eine wesentliche Geräuschminimierung. Beim Öffnen des Ventils wird der Aufprall des Ventilschließglieds 27 auf den Magnetkern 15 durch die in dem Bereich der weiteren Öffnung 29 angeordneten und hök- kerförmig überstehenden Dichtfläche 62 ebenfalls gedämpft. Der Überstand der höckerförmigen Dichtfläche 62 über die zweite Stirnfläche des Ventilschließglieds 27 ist so ausgelegt, dass die Magnetkraft nach dem Aufprallen des Ventilschließglieds 27 auf dem Magnetkern 15 die höckerförmige Dichtfläche 62 "überdrückt" und das Ventilschließglied 27 unter metallischer Berührung an dem Magnetkern 15 zur Anlage kommt. Dadurch ergibt sich der Vorteil, dass der Offnungs- und Schließhub des Ventilschließglieds 27 und damit auch die zwischen dem Ventilschließglied 27 und den Ventilöffnungen 25 gebildeten Strömungsguerschnitte konstant bleiben. Da das Ventilschließglied 27 auf seinen beiden Stirnseiten mit dem Dämpfungselement versehen ist, wird beim Aufprallen eine metallische Berührung zwischen Magnetkern 15 und dem als Ventilsitzkörper 22 dienenden Ringspaltjoch im Taktbetrieb vermieden.As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 2 to 5, there are two further openings 29 in the valve closing member 27 arranged, which essentially have the elongated, partially annular shape of the valve openings 25 formed in the valve seat body 22, but are larger than these. In the area of these further openings 29 and on its end face facing the valve seat body 22, an elastomeric damping element is vulcanized, for example in the form of a sealing rubber 60, which extends through the further openings 29 and which on the second end face of the valve closing member 27 facing the electromagnet 15 is raised - Kerför ig formed sealing surface 62 which at least partially follows a boundary line of the further openings 29. Through the further openings 29, which are formed slightly larger than the valve openings 25 in the valve seat member 22, and which are covered by the damping element 60, the impact of the valve closing member 27 acting as an anchor on the sealing surface of the valve opening 25 in the valve seat member 27 is due the bearing surfaces of the damping element 60, which are designed to be elastically resilient, are damped. This creates a significant noise reduction. When the valve is opened, the impact of the valve closing member 27 on the magnetic core 15 is also dampened by the sealing surface 62 which is arranged in the region of the further opening 29 and protrudes in the form of a protrusion. The protrusion of the bump-shaped sealing surface 62 over the second end face of the valve closing member 27 is designed such that the magnetic force after the valve closing member 27 has impinged on the magnetic core 15 "overpresses" the bump-shaped sealing surface 62 and the valve closing member 27 is in metallic contact comes to rest on the magnetic core 15. This results in the advantage that the opening and closing stroke of the valve closing member 27 and thus also the flow cross sections formed between the valve closing member 27 and the valve openings 25 remain constant. Since the valve closing member 27 is provided with the damping element on its two end faces, metallic contact between the magnetic core 15 and the annular gap yoke serving as valve seat body 22 is avoided in cyclic operation when impacting.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass das beispielsweise aus Gummi ausgeführte Dämpfungselement 60 bei dem oben beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel sehr dünnwandig sein kann, was bei einer Beaufschlagung mit Kraftstoff notwendig ist, um ein zu starkes Aufquellen im Dichtbetrieb zu vermeiden. It is particularly advantageous that the damping element 60, which is made, for example, of rubber, can be very thin-walled in the exemplary embodiment described above, which is necessary when it is exposed to fuel in order to avoid excessive swelling in sealing operation.
