Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection system according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a fuel injection system which has a compensation element which consists of a support body which has a dome-shaped support surface.
  • a fuel injection valve is supported via this compensating element in a receiving bore of a cylinder head. Since the fuel injection valve rests on the spherical shaped Kalotten specifications with a support surface, the fuel injection valve can be mounted to a certain angular deviation from the axis of the receiving bore and firmly pressed into the receiving bore by suitable means, such as a clamping claw.
  • suitable means such as a clamping claw.
  • the support body is expensive to manufacture and requires a precisely manufactured spherical surface.
  • the rigid support body can not be compressed and thus there is no compensation in the axial direction of the receiving bore.
  • the compensation of tolerances can also be done only on the given geometry of the spherical surface. It is not possible purely to the receiving bore radial compensation movement.
  • a fuel injection system with a fuel injection valve in a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine wherein a sealing element is provided and the sealing element is formed in the form of a bottom ring and disposed between a valve housing of the fuel injection valve and a wall of a receiving bore of the cylinder head.
  • the lower ring has a round cross-section in the form of a classic sealing ring.
  • the fuel injection system according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the fuel injection valve is mounted by an inserted between the fuel injection valve and a wall of the fuel injection valve receiving bore of the cylinder head Unterlegring with oval or round cross section, which must take no sealing function.
  • the lower ring ensures by its elasticity for a balance of manufacturing tolerances of the individual components and tolerances that are due to the heating of the fuel injection valve during operation and thus prevents tilting and misalignments.
  • the washer can optionally slotted and then pressed by means of press fit on a valve housing of the fuel injection valve or as a closed ring which is loosely attached to the valve housing may be formed.
  • the lower ring may be made of wire, which may be made of alloyed or unalloyed steel, for example.
  • the production of copper or a copper alloy is advantageous because copper has a high thermal conductivity and a good surface adaptation.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic partial section through an embodiment of an inventively designed compensating element for a fuel injection valve in a receiving bore of a cylinder head of a mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engine.
  • a fuel injection valve 1 is designed in the form of a directly injecting fuel injection valve 1 and installed in a cylinder head 2 of an internal combustion engine.
  • the fuel injection valve 1 has at a supply-side end 3 a plug connection to a fuel distributor line 4, which is sealed by a seal 5 between the fuel distributor line 4 and a supply nozzle 6 of the fuel injection valve 1.
  • the fuel injection valve 1 has an electrical connection 7 for the electrical Contacting for actuating the fuel injection valve 1.
  • the fuel injection valve 1 has, in a receiving bore 9 of the cylinder head 2 according to the invention a lower ring 8, which serves as a compensation element for the fuel injection valve 1 in the receiving bore 9.
  • the Unterlegring 8 fulfills several functions. On the one hand can be achieved by a spacing of the fuel injector 1 from a wall 10 of the receiving bore 9, a centering of the fuel injector 1, which counteracts tilting of the fuel injector 1, for example in the region of a nozzle body 11 of the fuel injector 1 and thus the sealing effect of a plugged onto the nozzle body 11 sealing ring 12, which seals the cylinder head 2 against the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, not shown, contributes.
  • temperature-related tolerances that occur, for example, by the heating of the fuel injection valve 1 and the cylinder head 2 during operation of the internal combustion engine can be compensated by the lower ring 8. Tolerances of this kind can lead to stresses and strains of the connector between the fuel injection valve 1 and the fuel distributor line 4, for example.
  • the lower ring 8 As a material for the production of the lower ring 8, which can be pulled, for example, as a wire and then bent, come, for example, stainless steel, unalloyed, but surface-treated steel for better heat conduction or copper or copper alloys into consideration. In particular, the latter are characterized by a high thermal conductivity and a good surface adaptation by plastic deformability.
  • the Unterlegring 8 as shown in the exemplary embodiment, have a round cross-section or oval shaped.
  • the fit to the fuel injection valve 1 can be made either by clearance fit or by interference fit.
  • the clearance which allows the Unterlegring 8 to take an optimal position in accordance with the prevailing conditions, is particularly suitable for closed bottom rings 8, while the interference fit, which is particularly easy to implement slotted lower rings 8, effective protection against the loss of Unterlegrings. 8 when installing and removing the fuel injection valve 1 offers.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic detail of the compensating element according to the invention, illustrated in FIG. 1, in region II in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 Particular attention should be paid to Fig. 2 to the fact that for the installation of the lower ring 8 no modifications to the shape of the receiving bore 9 of the cylinder head 2 or the valve housing 13 of the fuel injection valve 1 are necessary.
  • the fuel injection valve 1 is located with a shoulder 14 of the valve housing 13, which is chamfered at an angle of approximately 45 °, to a shoulder 15 of the cylinder head 2 in the receiving bore 9, which has an at least similar, better same inclination angle.
  • a shoulder 14 of the valve housing 13 which is chamfered at an angle of approximately 45 °, to a shoulder 15 of the cylinder head 2 in the receiving bore 9, which has an at least similar, better same inclination angle.
  • the washer 8 is simply placed on the shoulder 15 of the cylinder head 2 or on the valve housing 13 in the Attached portion of the shoulder 14, whereby the previous shoulder connection between the fuel injection valve 1 and the receiving bore 9 is opened to a distance corresponding to the diameter of the Unterlegrings 8.
  • This allows the Unterlegring to take the circumstances corresponding optimal situation, which may for example also lead to the fact that the ring with respect to a longitudinal axis 16 of the fuel injection valve 1 and the receiving bore 9 can be tilted or warped. This allows the desired tolerance compensation, which prevents build up of tensions and subsequent malfunction occur.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment and, for example, for fuel injection valves 1 for injection into the combustion chamber of a self-igniting internal combustion engine applicable.
