- Such a high-pressure fuel line and such a fuel injection system is characterized by the JP 2000 027731 A known.
- an injector of the fuel injection device is connected to a high-pressure accumulator.
- a flow cross-sectional constriction is arranged in relation to the remaining flow cross-section between the injector and the high-pressure accumulator in the end region of the high-pressure fuel line facing the high-pressure accumulator.
- a separate component is used, which has a smaller diameter in relation to the inner diameter of the high-pressure fuel line bore. This separate component must be inserted in a complex and therefore associated with high cost manufacturing process in the high-pressure fuel line and fixed in it so that it remains safe in the high-pressure fuel line.
- EP-A-1 707 793 is also a high-pressure fuel line known in which a separate component is used to form a flow cross-sectional constriction in the high-pressure fuel line, which is provided with a flow cross-sectional constriction darestellenden bore.
- This high-pressure fuel line is thus complicated and expensive to manufacture.
- the high-pressure fuel line according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that it is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, as in this no separate component for forming the flow cross-sectional constriction is required.
- the fuel injection device according to claim 5 has the advantage that it requires a small space and is inexpensive to produce.

- injectors 20 are arranged via high-pressure fuel lines 18 to the cylinders 6 of the internal combustion engine.
- a control valve 22 is arranged, by means of which the injector 20 can be opened to a fuel injection or can be closed to complete a fuel injection.
- the control valves 22 of the injectors 20 are connected to an electronic control device 24 and are driven by them depending on operating parameters of the internal combustion engine.
- the control valves 22 may each have an electromagnetic or a piezoelectric actuator.
- the high pressure accumulator 16 is for example tubular and the high-pressure fuel lines 18 to the injectors 20 lead from the periphery of the high pressure accumulator 16.
- the high-pressure accumulator 16 is tuned in its volume to the requirements of the fuel injection device.
- the high-pressure fuel lines 18 are designed in a known manner, for example, as metal pipes made of steel, in particular high-strength steel, with sufficient strength and are for example by means of Screw connections connected to the high-pressure accumulator 16.

- this has a reduced inner cross-section, which is preferably also circular and has a diameter d2. Due to the reduced diameter d2, a flow cross-sectional constriction 36 is formed in the high-pressure fuel line 18.
- the transition from the diameter d1 to the diameter d2 in the high-pressure fuel line 18 preferably runs at least approximately conically, so that in a transition region 38, the inner diameter of the high-pressure fuel line 18 gradually decreases from d1 to d2.
- the transition region 38 has one for the respective fuel injector fixed length 1 on.
- the diameter d2 is also set in relation to the diameter d1 suitable for the respective fuel injection device.
- the cone angle of the transition region 38 is also suitably chosen.

- the flow cross-sectional constriction 36 and the transition region 38 in the high-pressure fuel line 18 can be produced, for example, by means of a drawing, stretching or compression deformation method of the high-pressure fuel line.
- the high pressure accumulator 16 of the fuel injection device can also be omitted, in which case each injector 20 is connected directly to the high pressure pump 14 upper with a manifold of the high pressure pump.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen
In
Der Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist beispielsweise rohrförmig ausgebildet und die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 zu den Injektoren 20 führen vom Umfang des Hochdruckspeichers 16 ab. Der Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist in seinem Volumen auf die Erfordernisse der Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung abgestimmt. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 sind in bekannter Weise beispielsweise als Metallrohre aus Stahl, insbesondere höherfestem Stahl, mit ausreichender Festigkeit ausgeführt und sind beispielsweise mittels Schraubverbindungen am Hochdruckspeicher 16 angeschlossen. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitungen 18 weisen an ihren am Hochdruckspeicher 16 angeschlossenen Enden einen im Außenquerschnitt gegenüber dem übrigen Bereich der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 vergrößerten Anschlussstutzen 30 auf, der sich beispielsweise zum Hochdruckspeicher 16 hin etwa konisch verjüngt und der in eine entsprechend geformte Aufnahme 32 mit konischer Anlagefläche am Hochdruckspeicher 16 eingefügt ist. Durch eine Überwurfmutter 33 wird der Anschlussstutzen 30 in der Aufnahme 32 verspannt und die Abdichtung am Übergang zwischen dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 und der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 sichergestellt.The
In der Wandung des Hochdruckspeichers 16 ist für jede Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 eine innerhalb der Aufnahme 32 angeordnete Öffnung 34 vorgesehen, die beispielsweise eine Bohrung ist, und durch die Kraftstoff aus dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 in die jeweilige Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 durchströmen kann. Die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 weist über den größten Teil ihrer Länge einen konstanten Innenquerschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise kreisförmig ist und einen Durchmesser d1 aufweist. In dem dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zugewandten Endbereich der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 weist diese einen verringerten Innenquerschnitt auf, der vorzugsweise ebenfalls kreisförmig ist und einen Durchmesser d2 aufweist. Durch den verringerten Durchmesser d2 ist in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 eine Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 gebildet. Der Übergang vom Durchmesser d1 zum Durchmesser d2 in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 verläuft vorzugsweise zumindest annähernd konisch, so dass sich in einem Übergangsbereich 38 der Innendurchmesser der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 von d1 zu d2 allmählich verringert. Der Übergangsbereich 38 weist eine für die jeweilige Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung festgelegte Länge 1 auf. Der Durchmesser d2 ist im Verhältnis zum Durchmesser d1 ebenfalls für die jeweilige Kraftstoffeinspritzeinrichtung geeignet festgelegt. Der Kegelwinkel des Übergangsbereichs 38 ist ebenfalls geeignet gewählt.In the wall of the high-
Die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 reicht vorzugsweise bis zu dem dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zugewandten Ende der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18. Der Durchmesser der Öffnung 34 im Hochdruckspeicher 16 ist größer oder gleich dem Durchmesser d2 der Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36. Durch die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 wird der Durchfluss von Kraftstoff aus dem Hochdruckspeicher 16 zum Injektor 20 nur wenig beeinflusst, während die Ausbreitung von Druckwellen vom Injektor 20 durch die Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 in den Hochdruckspeicher 16 im wesentlichen verhindert wird. Die Durchflussquerschnittsverengung 36 sowie der Übergangsbereich 38 in der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung 18 kann beispielsweise mittels eines Zieh-, Streck- oder Stauchverformungsverfahrens der Kraftstoffhochdruckleitung hergestellt werden.The diameter of the
