Definitions
- the invention relates to an injector, in particular for fuel injection, with a solenoid valve for controlling an injection valve according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a solenoid valve for controlling an injection valve according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Such solenoid valves are used to control an injection valve of a fuel injector with a nozzle needle whose open and closed positions are controlled by the solenoid valve, so that injection holes for injecting fuel can be opened.
- the solenoid valve has a movable armature which lifts when energized, the magnetic group of the solenoid valve from a valve seat in the lower armature space.
- This valve seat is in turn via one or more (throttle) holes in fluid communication with the control pressure chamber of the injection valve.
- the pressure in the control pressure chamber of the injection valve degrades, wherein fluid (pressure medium) flows through the bores in the direction of the valve seat and from there into the lower armature space.
- the nozzle needle of the injection valve which is constantly exposed to an acting in the opening direction of high-pressure fuel, set in motion, whereby the injection holes are opened and the injector can inject fuel.
- a common rail injector (CRI) operates, with a main and a pilot injection can be realized with very short injection times.
- a solenoid valve is for example from the DE 196 50 865 A1 known.
- Known generic injectors further have a leading to the lower armature space return bore, are returned by the leakage quantities from different portions of the solenoid valve and injector in the lower armature space.
- the injector according to the invention according to the main claim has means for reducing occurring in the lower armature space pressure fluctuations. It has been shown that pressure surges in the lower armature space, which have a direct effect on the armature surface through the bore in the armature guide, cause the armature to lift off the valve seat and thus cause a delayed closing of the nozzle needle. By reducing the pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space, therefore, the anchor bounce can be reduced to a minimum and thus a continuous closing of the nozzle needle can be ensured.
- the strength of the armature bounce depends namely on the return backpressure (pressure of the backflow bore recirculated leakage quantities), which is due to the system in a certain tolerance field from. Due to the inventive reduction of pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space can therefore be compensated by the return bore in the lower armature space propagating pressure oscillations and thus the strength of the anchor bounce can be greatly reduced.
- the means for reducing pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space may include recesses or internals to be machined by which an increased volume of the return bore and / or the lower armature space is achieved.
- certain portions affected by the recirculation of the leakage quantities in the solenoid valve and in the injection valve can be made larger in their volume. Such an increase in volume causes a reduction of the pressure and thus a reduction of pressure surges.
- Another measure for reducing pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space is the installation of a throttle in the return bore before the lower armature space.
- the invention leads to a course of the armature stroke, which is strongly damped compared to the course in known solenoid valves, so that hardly an anchor bounce is noticeable. Accordingly, the course of the needle lift of the nozzle needle is a continuous, so that the nozzle needle continuously without delay in their Closed position moves. This improves the noise and emission levels of the engine. Furthermore, the injection quantity no longer changes depending on the return backpressure. The injection quantity is thus independent of the return backpressure, which also improves the performance of the engine in addition to its noise and emissions.
- Figure 1 shows the usual structure of an existing of solenoid valve 1 and injector 2 injector, as used in particular for fuel injection in common rail systems.
- the one-piece armature 3 is pulled by the energizing of the solenoid valve 1 against the spring force of the armature spring 11 upwards.
- the armature 3 runs in the armature guide 12 and is located on the valve seat 4 of the injection valve 2 when the solenoid valve 1 is de-energized. In this state, the fluid connection to the control pressure chamber 8 of the injection valve 2 via the A-throttle 6 and the bore 7 is interrupted.
- FIG. 2 shows the lower part of the injector 2 belonging to the injector, whereby here too only a few parts are designated.
- the nozzle needle 17 is connected.
- the lower nozzle needle space is designated 16.
- the injector described in Figures 1 and 2 has the described disadvantage of the anchor bounce. If the solenoid valve 1 is no longer supplied with current, the armature 3 placed on the valve seat 4 does not immediately come to rest, but bounces, whereby the connection between the A-throttle 6 and the lower armature space 5 is briefly reopened. This has a short-term pressure decrease in the control pressure chamber 8 and thus a delayed closing of the nozzle needle 17 result.
- the time course of this process is shown in FIG.
- the needle stroke is 34, the anchor stroke is 32 designated.
- the armature bouncing leads during closing of the solenoid valve to short opening periods 31, the course of the armature stroke corresponds in this area about that of a damped oscillation.
- the course of the needle lift of the nozzle needle 17 is consequently not linear, but has delays 33.
- injection quantities depend on the return backpressure.
- the relationship is shown in FIG. 3, in which the injection quantity Q (in the unit volume per needle stroke) is plotted against the injection duration ET (in milliseconds) for different return back pressures.
- the curves 30 show different injection quantities with a variation of the return backpressure around 1600 bar. Fluctuations in the return back pressure affect the strength of the anchor bounce, since these pressure fluctuations on the lower armature space 5 and the holes in the armature guide 12 directly affect the anchor surface.
- the pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space 5 are now reduced by the fact that the volumes of the sections affected by the return of the leakage quantities are increased by construction measures and appropriate design.
- the return bore 9 and / or the lower armature space 5 itself is increased in volume.
- the onset of a throttle in the return bore 9 in front of the lower armature space 5 is suitable for reducing pressure fluctuations in the lower armature space 5.
- the measures described above can also be used together.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show the analog representations from FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively, according to the invention optimized injector.
- the injection quantity (curve 40) remains unchanged.
- the course of the needle stroke 43 in FIG. 6 is linear, ie the nozzle needle closes continuously without delay.
- the course of the needle stroke is designated 44 in FIG.
- the armature stroke 42 shows the injector according to the invention a substantially reduced anchor bounce 41. Duration and strength of the opening of the armature after elimination of Vermömung the solenoid valve are significantly reduced compared to the course of Figure 4.
- the injector of the present invention improves the noise, emissions, and performance of the engine by ensuring continuous closure of the nozzle needle and eliminating the dependency of the injection amount on backpressure pressure fluctuations.
- the defined closing of the nozzle of the injection valve causes smaller stroke / stroke variations of the injection quantity and the distance of successive injections can be shortened compared to conventional injectors.
