Definitions
- the invention relates to a switching valve for injectors, in particular for fuel injectors, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Fuel injectors are used to supply fuel to combustion chambers of an internal combustion engine.
- the fuel is injected under high pressure into the combustion chambers.
- high-pressure accumulator injection systems are used in which the injection pressure is independent of the speed and load of the internal combustion engine.
- the pollutants resulting from the combustion can be reduced.
- a significant increase in the injection pressure is necessary.
- Fuel injectors which can be used at the required pressures, are leak-free. For this purpose, a low-pressure stage is dispensed with. Due to the absence of the low-pressure stage, however, only small needle closing forces are available. This leads to steep maps and thus to a poor Kleinstmengenmen. However, this disadvantage can be compensated with very fast switching valves.
- a control valve for a fast-switching fuel injection valve is known for example from DE 10 2007 028 485.
- a pressure chamber is limited by a control sleeve which is movably mounted in its longitudinal direction.
- the control sleeve has on a front side on a sealing surface, with which it cooperates with a valve seat which is formed on a valve body.
- a recess in the side of the valve body facing the pressure chamber is formed in the valve body.
- the control sleeve and the recess in the valve body are designed so that a deformation of the control sleeve and valve body by the pressure in the pressure chamber to no or only very little movement between the valve seat and the sealing surface of the control sleeve leads.
- fast-switching valves have the disadvantage that due to a bounce characteristic waviness occur.
- On the one hand results in a bouncing of the closing element due to a hard stop in conjunction with a fast closing element.
- the hard hit results from the bouncing of metal on metal.
- these bumpers which occur when the closing element opens, have a negative influence on the function of the fuel injector and generally lead to large lift / stroke spreads.
- solenoid-operated switching valves a squish gap is formed at the upper stroke stop between armature and magnet, which dampens the stop and thus reduces bouncing.
- such a nip can not be attached to the valve seat due to its sealing functions in order to reduce the impact of the closing element in the valve seat.
- An inventively designed switching valve for injectors in particular for fuel injectors, comprises a closing element with which a control chamber for actuating an injection valve member is pressure-relieved.
- the closing element is controlled by a magnet actuator comprising a magnet assembly and an armature.
- the closing element is connected to a stop element in such a way that the stop element and the closing element enclose a damping space, wherein the damping space is filled with liquid whose quantity remains substantially constant during a movement of the closing element, so that closing element and stop element move together.
- the pressure in the damping chamber first decreases. Due to the decreasing pressure, a force acts on the stop element, by means of which the stop element is moved together with the closing element.
- the volume of the damping chamber does not change with a constant amount of liquid. In this way, the position of the stop element to the closing element remains unchanged.
- the pressure in the damping chamber initially increases.
- the stop element is moved with the closing element. When striking forms between the stop member and a stop surface of a nip, through which the movement is damped and a large part of the stop pulse is received. The movement of the closing element is damped by the increasing in a swinging pressure in the damping chamber.
- the stop element is designed in the form of a sleeve. If the stop element is designed in the form of a sleeve, it is preferred if the closing element is guided in a sleeve, wherein between a pointing in the direction of the magnet assembly upper end surface of the sleeve and one of the upper end surface of the sleeve opposite end face of the closing element of the damping chamber is formed , In order to adapt the position of the stop element to the position of the closing element when the switching valve is closed, it is preferred if the upper end face of the sleeve is closed by an annular edge such that the inside of the annular edge and the outside of the end face of the closing element when closing the switching valve and form an annular gap with the switching valve closed.
- the annular gap acts as a throttle relative to the surrounding space, so that the pressure in the damping chamber is higher than the surrounding pressure. As a result, a complete filling of the damping chamber is ensured with liquid. In addition, in this way a liquid equalization can take place, which is necessary, for example, if, for example, seat wear first changes the position of the closing element relative to the stop element. In this way, the function of the stop element is always guaranteed. For example, liquid can flow out via the annular gap if a smaller volume of the damping chamber is required to compensate for the positions.
- Another advantage of the inventive construction of the switching valve is that the hydraulic damping force is only a function of the anchor speed. Unlike a nip, the armature stroke has no effect on the damping force. In this way, even with a lift drift, e.g. can be due to a valve seat wear, ensures that the valve closes at any time.
- the sleeve is movable relative to the closing element in the axial direction.
- the damper acts only when closing, but not when opening the valve. In this way, an unwanted delaying the Ventilöffhungsterrorism is prevented.
- the opening movement of the closing element increases the volume of the damping chamber. This reduces the pressure in the damping chamber. Since the sleeve is movable relative to the closing element in the axial direction, the sleeve can initially move together with the closing element, so that the volume of the damping chamber can remain substantially constant and no force must be overcome, due to a reduced pressure in the damping chamber on the closing element acts. A quick opening of the switching valve is thus possible.
- a plate-shaped extension is formed on the sleeve and a spring element is with one side on the plate-shaped extension of the Sleeve and placed against the anchor with the other side.
- the spring element is preferably designed as a compression spring coil spring.
- the closing element is preferably designed in the form of a sleeve and guided on a guide pin.
- an annular space is formed on the guide pin between an upper and a lower guide of the closing element.
- the annular space serves as Leckagesammeiraum of liquid that flows as a leak on the lower guide. Since the leakage gap between the lower guide and the closing element is in hydraulic communication with the drainage channel from the control chamber, the Leckagesammeiraum is filled with liquid.
- the upper guide and the lower guide are each formed as leakage gaps, so that the upper guide and the lower guide act as a pressure divider and the pressure in the annulus by the gap of the upper guide and the lower guide is adjustable. Due to the upper guide, the pressure in the leakage chamber is higher than in the
- the annular space which serves as Leckagesammeiraum, is advantageously connected via a channel in the closing element with the damper space between the upper end face of the sleeve and the end face of the closing element.
- liquid can flow from the Leckagesammeiraum in the damping chamber.
- the damping chamber is always filled with liquid, wherein the liquid flows in through the channel and can flow out of the damping chamber along the annular gap.
- Another advantage is that the pressure of the liquid in the damping chamber is above the boiling pressure and the liquid is thus gas-free. In this way, the damping function of the damping chamber is ensured.
- the closing element is sleeve-shaped and guided on the guide pin, the closing element preferably has an annular sealing surface or Sealing edge on and over its entire length constant inner diameter. Since the under system pressure fuel acts only on the inside of the closing element, occur through the constant inner diameter only radial compressive forces. As a result, the closing element is pressure balanced and no pressure forces to open or close the switching valve must be overcome. As a result, even low switching forces are sufficient to allow a quick switching of the switching valve.
- the single FIGURE shows a fuel injector with inventively designed switching valve.
- the single FIGURE shows a schematic representation of a fuel injector with an inventively designed pressure-balanced switching valve.
- a fuel injector 1 comprises an injection valve member 3, with which at least one, not shown here injection port for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine can be released or closed.
- the injection valve member 3 is guided in a valve piece 5 and delimited with an upper end face 7 a control chamber 9.
- the control chamber 9 is filled via an inlet throttle 11 with fuel under system pressure.
- the inlet throttle 11 connects the control chamber 9 with an annular space 13, which surrounds the valve piece 5 and in turn is connected to a high-pressure accumulator, not shown here, via an inlet channel 15.
- the control chamber 9 is depressurized.
- a switching valve 17 opens, whereby a connection from a flow channel 19 is released to a fuel return line 21 and fuel can flow out of the control chamber 9.
- the pressure in the control chamber 9 decreases and the injection valve member 3 rises from its valve seat and releases the injection port.
- a throttle element 23 is formed in the outlet channel 19.
- the switching valve closes the connection from the outlet channel 19 to the return line 21. Via the inlet throttle 11 fuel under system pressure flows into the control chamber 9, the pressure in the control chamber 9 increases. As a result of the increasing pressure force, the injection valve member 3 is returned to its seat and closes the at least one injection opening.
- the closing movement of the injection valve member 3 is supported by a spring element 25.
- the spring element 25 is preferably designed as a helical spring compression spring.
- valve piece 5 in which the injection valve member 3 is guided, is mounted with a valve clamping nut 27 in the injector 29.
- the switching valve 17, with which the opening and closing of the fuel injector for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is controlled, comprises a closing element 31.
- the closing element 31 has a sealing edge 33, which is placed in a valve seat 35 for closing.
- the switching valve 17 is pressure balanced.
- the sealing edge 33 is annular.
- the closing element 31 has a constant inner diameter 37. In this way, the pressure of the under system pressure fuel acts only in the radial direction on the closing element 31. Thus act on opposite surfaces on the closing element 31 always only the same pressure forces.
- a guide pin 39 In order to avoid that the closing element 31 tilts or slips in the radial direction, this is guided on a guide pin 39.
- the guide pin ends with a lower end face 41 above the drainage channel 19 and thus delimits, together with the closing element 31, a pressure chamber 43. With the side opposite the pressure chamber 43, the guide pin 39 rests against the injector housing. A displacement of the guide pin 39 is avoided in that it is pressed against the injector housing with a spring element 45.
- the spring element 45 is preferably designed as a compression spring coil spring. With one side, the spring element 45 acts against an end face on an extension 47 of the guide pin and with another side on the closing element 31st
- the spring element 45 also serves as a closing spring. By the spring force of the spring element 45 on the closing element 31, this is placed in the valve seat 35.
- the closure member 31 is further connected to an armature 49.
- the armature 49 cooperates with a magnet assembly 51 through which the switching valve 17 is actuated.
- the magnet assembly 51 generally includes a solenoid 53 and a core 55 that surrounds the coil 53.
- the switching valve 17 To start the injection process, the switching valve 17 must be opened.
- the coil 53 is energized.
- a magnetic field is formed by which the armature 49 is attracted and moves in the direction of the magnet assembly 51. Since the armature 49 is connected to the closing element 31, this also pulls the closing element 31 upwards.
- the closing element 31 rises from the valve seat 35 and releases a connection from the outlet channel 19 via a low-pressure chamber 57 into the return line 21.
- a bouncing of the armature 49 is thereby avoided that between the armature 49 and the magnet assembly 51, a nip 59 is formed.
- the nip 59 is filled with fuel contained in the low-pressure chamber 57. The fuel in the nip 59 is compressed, thus damping the movement of the armature 49.
- the injection valve member 3 To end the injection process, the injection valve member 3 must be put back in its seat to close the injection port.
- the switching valve 17 must first close the connection from the outlet channel 19 into the return line 21.
- the energization of the coil 53 is terminated, the magnetic field coincides.
- the spring force of the spring element 45 which acts on the closing element 31, the closing element 31 is moved in the direction of the valve seat 35 until the sealing edge 33 is in the valve seat 35.
- the inlet throttle 11 stationary fuel under system pressure flows from the annular space 13 into the control chamber 9.
- the pressure in the control chamber 9 increases and thus also acting on the upper end face 7 of the injection valve member 3 compressive force. Due to the increasing pressure force on the upper end face 7 of the injection valve member 3, the injection valve member 3 is put back into its seat and thus closes the at least one injection opening.
- the injection process is finished.
- the closing element 31 is enclosed by a sleeve 61.
- an upper end face 63 is formed on the sleeve 61.
- the upper end surface 63 of the sleeve se 61 is opposite to an end face 65 of the closing element 31, so that between the upper end face 63 of the sleeve 61 and the end face 65 of the closing element 63, a gap is formed.
- the upper end face 63 of the sleeve 61 is further closed by an annular edge 67 such that between the inside of the annular edge 67 and the outside of the end face 65 of the closing element 31, an annular gap 69 is formed.
- a damping chamber 71 is enclosed between the upper end face 63 of the sleeve 61 and the end face 65 of the closing element 31 and the annular edge 67.
- the damping chamber 71 is filled with liquid.
- the closing movement of the sleeve 61 is supported by a spring element 83.
- the spring element 83 is preferably designed as a helical spring compression spring and acts as a positioning spring for the sleeve 61.
- the spring element 83 acts with one side on a Er- extension 85 on the sleeve 61 and with the other side on the armature 49.
- the sleeve 61 rests on the valve piece 5.
- On the guide pin 39 a lower guide 73 and an upper guide 75 is formed.
- the closing member 31 is guided along the upper guide 75 and the lower guide 73. Between the upper guide 75 and the lower guide 73, an annular space 77 is formed.
- the annular space 77 serves as Leckagesammeiraum.
- the pressure of the fuel in the annular space 77 is higher than in the low pressure chamber 57.
- the annular space 77 is connected via a channel 79 with the damping chamber 71 is connected. Through the channel 79, fuel flows into the damping chamber 71. This ensures that the damping chamber 71 is always filled with liquid. Due to the higher pressure of the liquid in the annular space 77, the formation of gas bubbles in the damping chamber 71 is avoided at the same time.
- the channel 79 is preferably made by laser drilling or by erosion.
- the damping effect of the damping chamber 71 is not ineffective due to the hydraulic connection of the annular space 77 with the damping chamber 71 via the channel 79, it is necessary that the throttle effect on the lower guide 73 and the upper guide 75 is much smaller than the throttling on Annular gap 69.
- the sleeve 61 is movable along a guide 81 relative to the closing element 31 in the axial direction.
- Advantage of this embodiment is that the damping chamber 71 only acts as a damper when closing the switching valve 17 and not also when opening the switching valve 17. This prevents unwanted delaying the valve opening movement.
- the switching valve 17 is opened, firstly the closing element 31 moves in the direction of the magnet assembly 63. This leads to an enlargement of the volume of the damping space 71, since the end face 65 of the closing element 31 moves out of the damping space 71. This leads to a pressure drop in the damping chamber 71. Since the sleeve is movable, it is initially also moved in the direction of the magnet assembly 51. The decreasing pressure in the damping chamber 71 does not lead to a delay of the opening movement of the closing element but to a movement of the sleeve 61st
- the residual stroke from which the movement of the closing element 31 is damped before the sealing edge 33 strikes the valve seat 35, results from the height hi of the sleeve 61 and the distance h 2 between the end face 65 of the closing element 31 and the sealing edge 33.
- the two dimensions hi and h 2 can be very precisely measured, ground and manufactured.
- the Studentsdeckungshack resulting from the difference in the height hi of the sleeve 61 and the distance h 2 between the end face 65 of the closing element 31 and the sealing edge 33, and by which the residual stroke is defined, can be measured before the assembly of the injector 1 and optionally be set exactly by selection groups.
- Another advantage of the switching valve 17 designed according to the invention is also that the volume of the damping chamber 71 has no influence on the function, since the liquid, when used as fuel injector thus the fuel at the low pressure level in the return can be considered incompressible.
