Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fuel injection valve according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • a fuel injection valve with a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive actuator which is in operative connection with a valve needle.
  • the valve needle has at its discharge end a valve closing body which cooperates with a valve seat surface to a sealing seat.
  • a coupler which serves to compensate for changes in length of components of the fuel injection valve, in particular of temperature-induced changes in length of the actuator, is arranged on the inflow side of the actuator module.
  • the coupler has two mutually axially movable portions which engage with each other and thereby form an annular gap and a hydraulic volume.
  • the annular gap connects the hydraulic volume with a balanced under a form equalization space.
  • the hydraulic medium is exchanged between the hydraulic volume and the compensation chamber, wherein the annular gap serves as a throttle point.
  • a disadvantage of the fuel injection valve known from the above publication is in particular that the temperature-induced expansion of the hydraulic medium are only insufficiently compensated. If a change in volume of the hydraulic medium is compensated for by exchanging hydraulic medium between the hydraulic volume and the compensation chamber, the pressure in the compensation chamber changes, resulting in a pressure increase in the expansion chamber when filling the compensation chamber, which counteracts further filling. The force with which the valve closing body acts in the sealing seat is undesirably changed in this way via different temperature states of the fuel injection valve. This leads in particular to the fact that the design of other components of the fuel injection valve is possible only with considerably more effort and also lower tolerances must be maintained.
  • the fuel injection valve according to the invention with the features of the main claim has the advantage that in particular the sealing force of the sealing seat in all temperature ranges can be kept constant by simple and inexpensive measures. This simplifies the design and construction of other components and the fuel injector as a whole.
  • the coupler is also more independent of temperature fluctuations in its behavior.
  • the compensation element has a solid state of aggregation at the operating temperatures of the fuel injection valve. This can be the Permanently separate the compensating element from the hydraulic medium.
  • first coupler section forms a hollow cylindrical shape closed on one side into which the cylindrically shaped second coupler section at least partially engages and thereby forms the gap.
  • the coupler can be constructed in a particularly simple manner.
  • the second coupler section consists at least partially of the compensation element.
  • the fuel injection valve can be very easily constructed and assembled.
  • a recess is made in one of the coupler sections, in which the compensation element is arranged.
  • the coupler can be made more compact and easier.
  • the compensating element has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the hydraulic medium, the compensation can take place in a particularly simple manner.
  • the coupler can be very easy to assemble and assemble.
  • the coupler can thereby be better integrated into the actuation strand of the fuel injection valve, since, for example, the flexible section can easily be arranged on the coupler so that the flexible section does not lie in the actuation axis of the actuation strand.
  • the flexible section can be very easily manufactured and assembled.
  • the movements of the actuator module can be transferred directly to the coupler sections and the dynamic characteristics of the fuel injection valve are only minimally negatively affected.
  • the hydraulic medium ideally consists of an oil or a gel.
  • An inventive fuel injection valve 1 shown in an axial sectional view in FIG. 1 is used in particular for the direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engine.
  • an interlocking housing upper part 4 and a coaxially arranged housing lower part 5, a valve needle 8, an actuator 2, a nozzle body 6 and a hydraulic coupler 3 are arranged coaxially to each other.
  • the nozzle body 6 penetrates from the inside with its downstream end, the downstream end of the Housing lower part 5.
  • actuator 2 communicates with the valve needle 8 via an actuator head 10 and an intermediate piece 9, which passes through the upper housing part 4 in the region of the discharge end of the upper housing part 4 in operative connection.
  • the first spring element 21 is clamped between a shoulder 40 formed in the nozzle body 6 and a flange 26 arranged on the inflow side thereof and fixed to the valve needle 8.
  • the spring force of the first spring element 21 pulls the valve closing body 7 into the sealing seat in the case of the fuel injection valve 1 that opens outward in this exemplary embodiment.
  • the hydraulic coupler 3 in this embodiment essentially has a first coupler section 23 and a cylindrical second coupler section 24.
  • the first coupler portion 23 forms a closed on one side, introduced in the upper housing part 4, hollow cylindrical shape 17, in which the second coupler section 24 engages downstream.
  • a located between the bottom of the mold 17 and the mold 17 facing the end face of the second portion 24 befindliches hydraulic volume 36 is variable by the axial displacement of the second coupler portion 24 relative to the first coupler section 23.
  • the second coupler section 24 is guided in the first coupler section 23, or in the form 17, with a clearance 32 which, for example, is between 2 and 10 micrometers and is generated by a gap 25.
  • the ratio of the minimum engagement depth of the second portion 24 to its diameter is selected so that the second portion 24 in the mold 17 can not tilt.
  • a second spring element 20 designed as a spiral spring in this exemplary embodiment revolves around the second coupler section 24 in the area of its downstream end. The second spring element 20 presses the actuator base 11 with a bias on the actuator 2, wherein the second spring element 20 is supported on the inflow side of a first stage 42 rotating around the mold 17 and on the second stage 43 downstream.
  • a corrugated tube-shaped, made of steel and elastic flexible portion 27 is disposed within the second spring element 20 in this embodiment.
  • the upstream end of the flexible portion 20 is in the first stage 42 hermetically sealed, for example by welding, joined.
  • the downstream end of the flexible portion 20 is in the vicinity of the actuator base 11 laterally hermetically sealed to the second coupler portion 24, for example by welding.
  • the flexible section 27 closes off the gap 25 and, together with the region of the discharge-side end of the second coupler section 24, defines a compensation chamber 14.
  • the compensation chamber 14 is connected to the hydraulic volume 36 through the gap 25.
  • a recess 16 Arranged in the second coupler section 24 is a recess 16 which is open towards the hydraulic volume 36 and which is assigned to the hydraulic volume 36 and, in this embodiment, has a hollow-cylindrical shape.
  • a of the shape of the recess 16 similar compensating element 15 is arranged, wherein the compensating element 15 is inserted only in the recess 16 and thus all its outer surfaces are surrounded by hydraulic medium.
  • the compensation element 15 may be fixed or joined in the recess 16, for example, by a weld at the bottom of the recess 16 or a positive connection.
  • the in Invar 16 inserted from Invar steel compensating element 15 has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the hydraulic medium and / or the materials of which the first coupler section 24 in the hydraulic volume 36 is. Since the commonly used hydraulic media expand more than the coupler sections 23, 24, but the compensating element 15 expands less strongly, the compensating element 15 at least partially compensates for the different expansions of the coupler sections 23, 24 and the hydraulic medium.
  • the first coupler portion 23 in particular in the region of the hollow cylindrical shape 17 and the hydraulic volume 36, consist of the compensating element 15.
  • the part of the first coupler portion 23 made of, for example, bronze, brass, aluminum or a thermoplastic resin material has an expansion coefficient greater than or equal to that of the hydraulic medium.
  • the compensation chamber 14, the gap 25 and the hydraulic volume 36 with the recess 16 are completely filled with an oily, gas-free and incompressible hydraulic medium.
  • the flexible section 27 is characterized by the selection of materials and / or by a coating diffusion-tight and acts on the hydraulic medium by its elasticity with a pressure.
  • the actuator 2 If the actuator 2 is energized via an electrical line, not shown, it expands quickly. Since the hydraulic medium can not drain off fast enough from the hydraulic volume 36 in the compensation chamber 14, the coupler 3 behaves very hard, whereby the length of the actuator 2 acts almost completely on the valve needle 8. The valve needle 8 is moved axially against the biasing force of the first spring element 21 in the discharge direction. As a result, the sealing seat opens and the fuel, which is supplied with pressure via the fuel channel 22, which is shown only in part, is sprayed via the injection opening 12 into the combustion chamber (not shown). Slow changes in length of the actuator 2 are compensated by the exchange of hydraulic fluid between the hydraulic volume 36 and the compensation chamber 14.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiments and may, for. B. also be used for inward-opening fuel injectors.
