Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Verschlussbolzen für einen Injektor eines modularen Common-Rail-Kraftstoffeinspritzsystems.The invention relates to a closure pin for an injector of a modular common rail fuel injection system.

Modulare Common-Rail-Systeme zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass ein Teil des im System vorhandenen Speichervolumens im Injektor selbst vorhanden ist. Modulare Common-Rail-Systeme kommen bei besonders großen Motoren zum Einsatz, bei welchen die einzelnen Injektoren unter Umständen in erheblichem Abstand voneinander angebracht sind. Die alleinige Verwendung eines gemeinsamen Rails für alle Injektoren ist bei solchen Motoren nicht sinnvoll, da es aufgrund der langen Leitungen während der Einspritzung zu einem massiven Einbruch im Einspritzdruck kommen würde, sodass bei längerer Spritzdauer die Einspritzrate merklich einbrechen würde. Bei solchen Motoren ist es daher vorgesehen, einen Hochdruckspeicher im Inneren eines jeden Injektors anzuordnen. Eine solche Bauweise wird als modularer Aufbau bezeichnet, da jeder einzelne Injektor über seinen eigenen Hochdruckspeicher verfügt und somit als eigenständiges Modul eingesetzt werden kann. Unter einem Hochdruckspeicher ist hierbei nicht eine gewöhnliche Leitung zu verstehen, sondern es handelt sich um ein druckfestes Gefäß mit einer Zu- bzw. Ableitung, dessen Durchmesser im Vergleich zu den Hochdruckleitungen deutlich vergrößert ist, damit aus dem Hochdruckspeicher eine gewisse Einspritzmenge abgegeben werden kann, ohne dass es zu einem sofortigen Druckabfall kommt.Modular common rail systems are characterized by the fact that part of the storage volume present in the system is present in the injector itself. Modular common-rail systems are used in particularly large engines, in which the individual injectors may be mounted at a considerable distance from each other. The sole use of a common rail for all injectors is not useful in such engines, as it would come to a massive slump in injection pressure due to the long lines during injection, so with prolonged injection duration, the injection rate would noticeably break. In such engines, it is therefore intended to arrange a high-pressure accumulator inside each injector. Such a design is referred to as a modular structure, since each injector has its own high-pressure accumulator and thus can be used as a stand-alone module. Under a high-pressure accumulator this is not a common line to understand, but it is a pressure-resistant vessel with an inlet and outlet, whose diameter is significantly increased compared to the high pressure lines, so that from the high-pressure accumulator a certain amount of injection can be delivered without causing an immediate pressure drop.

Injektoren von modularen Common-Rail-Systemen wird Hochdruckkraftstoff aus einer Hochdruckpumpe zugeführt, wobei die Zuführung meist über eine Öffnung des Injektors an der Oberseite des Hochdruckspeichers (sogenannter Top feed) erfolgt. Der Anschluss der den Hochdruckkraftstoff führenden Hochdruckleitung an den Injektor erfolgt dabei über einen mit einem Hochdruckanschluss versehenen Verschlussbolzen, der einen in die Öffnung des Injektors einführbaren Abschnitt mit einer vorzugsweise kegeligen Dichtfläche zum hochdruckdichten Verschließen der Öffnung aufweist. Dadurch wird das Volumen des integrierten Hochdruckspeichers abgedichtet. Der Verschlussbolzen hat in der Regel weiters die Funktion, den Kraftstoff für die benachbarten Injektoren durchzuleiten, zu welchem Zweck ein zweiter Hochdruckanschluss vorgesehen ist.Injectors of modular common rail systems, high pressure fuel from a high pressure pump is supplied, the supply is usually via an opening of the injector at the top of the high pressure accumulator (so-called Top feed). The connection of the high-pressure fuel leading high-pressure line to the injector takes place via a provided with a high-pressure port closure pin, which can be inserted into the opening of the injector section having a preferably conical sealing surface for high pressure-tight sealing of the opening. This seals the volume of the high-pressure accumulator. The closure bolt usually has the further function of passing the fuel for the adjacent injectors, for which purpose a second high-pressure port is provided.

In den Verschlussbolzen ist ein Durchflussbegrenzer integriert, der den Injektor bei zu hoher Durchflussmenge vom Hochdruckkraftstoffzufluss trennt.A flow limiter is integrated in the locking pin, which separates the injector from the high-pressure fuel flow when the flow rate is too high.

Aus fertigungstechnischen Gründen weist der Verschlussbolzen bei der Ausführung gemäß dem Stand der Technik eine in axialer Richtung durchgehende Hochdruckbohrung auf, in welche der Hochdruckanschluss radial einmündet und über welchen der Hochdruckkraftstoff in den Hochdruckspeicher geleitet wird. Nach außen ist die axiale Hochdruckbohrung mittels einer Verschlussschraube abgedichtet.For manufacturing reasons, the closure pin in the embodiment according to the prior art has a high-pressure bore continuous in the axial direction into which the high-pressure connection opens radially and via which the high-pressure fuel is conducted into the high-pressure accumulator. To the outside, the axial high-pressure bore is sealed by means of a screw plug.

Nachteilig bei der beschriebenen Ausbildung des Verschlussbolzens ist, dass dessen Innenkontur geometriebedingt über die ganze Länge mit dem vollen Druck des Hochdruckkraftstoffes beaufschlagt ist, sodass hinsichtlich der geometrischen Ausbildung und der Rautiefen eine hohe Qualität erforderlich ist, die in der Herstellung jedoch schwierig zu erzielen ist. Insbesondere die schwierig herzustellenden Geometrien für den Durchflussbegrenzer stellen ein Problem dar. Dies führt dazu, dass eine dauerfeste Auslegung bei Systemdrücken von über 1600 bar nicht mehr möglich ist. EP1653076B beschreibt einen weiteren in einen Verschlussbolzen integrierten Durchflussbegrenzer.A disadvantage of the described design of the locking bolt is that its inner contour geometriebedingt is acted upon over the entire length of the full pressure of the high-pressure fuel, so that in terms of geometric design and the roughness high quality is required, which is difficult to achieve in the production. In particular, the difficult to manufacture geometries for the flow restrictor are a problem. This means that a durable design at system pressures of over 1600 bar is no longer possible. EP1653076B describes another flow restrictor integrated in a closure pin.

Die vorliegende Erfindung zielt daher darauf ab, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden. Weiters stellt sich die Erfindung die Aufgabe, eine Konstruktion zu schaffen, die einfacher herzustellen ist und mit der es gelingt, die Schließmenge des Durchflussbegrenzers in einfacher Weise an die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse anzupassen.The present invention therefore aims to avoid the disadvantages described above. Furthermore, the invention has the object to provide a construction which is easier to manufacture and with which it is possible to adapt the closing amount of the flow restrictor in a simple manner to the respective needs.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist der Verschlussbolzen der eingangs genannten Art, umfassend wenigstens einen Hochdruckanschluss für Hochdruckkraftstoff, einen bolzenartigen, in eine Öffnung des Injektors einführbaren Abschnitt mit einer ersten, vorzugsweise kegeligen Dichtfläche zum hochdruckdichten Verschließen der Öffnung, wobei der bolzenartige Abschnitt eine mit dem Hochdruckanschluss in hydraulischer Verbindung stehende, in den Injektor mündende Hochdruckbohrung aufweist, und einen Durchflussbegrenzer zum Begrenzen der in den Injektor geförderten Kraftstoffmenge, erfindungsgemäß im Wesentlichen derart ausgebildet, dass der bolzenartige Abschnitt einen Einsatz aufweist, in dem der Durchflussbegrenzer ausgebildet ist und der die erste Dichtfläche trägt. Der bolzenartige Abschnitt des Verschlussbolzens ist somit zumindest zweiteilig ausgebildet, wobei der Einsatz dem Hochdruckspeicher zugewandt ist und mit der ersten Dichtfläche die Abdichtung des Hochdruckspeichers sicherstellt. Dadurch, dass der Durchflussbegrenzer nun in diesem Einsatz angeordnet ist, sind die schwierig herzustellenden Geometrien des Durchflussbegrenzers auf den Einsatz beschränkt, sodass der Grundkörper des Verschlussbolzens wesentlich einfacher herzustellen ist. Insbesondere können die mit Hochdruck beaufschlagten Geometrien des Grundkörpers ohne fertigungstechnische Schwierigkeiten mit den geeigneten Radien und Oberflächen ausgeführt werden. Weiters führt die zweiteilige Ausführung dazu, dass sich die Hochdruckbohrung des Verschlussbolzens nicht mehr durch den gesamten Verschlussbolzen erstrecken muss, sodass auf den Einsatz einer Verschlussschraube verzichtet werden kann, wodurch die Gefahr eines Manipulierens durch unautorisierte Personen verringert wird. Ein weiterer Vorteil liegt darin, dass der Einsatz bei gleichbleibendem Grundkörper in einfacher Weise getauscht werden kann, sodass durch Bereitstellung einer Mehrzahl von Einsätzen mit unterschiedlicher Auslegung des Durchflussbegrenzers eine einfache Anpassung der Schließmenge des Durchflussbegrenzers gelingt.To achieve this object, the closure bolt of the type mentioned, comprising at least one high-pressure connection for high-pressure fuel, a bolt-like, insertable into an opening of the injector portion with a first, preferably tapered sealing surface for high-pressure sealing the opening, wherein the bolt-like portion with the high pressure port in hydraulic connection, opening into the injector high-pressure bore, and a flow restrictor for limiting the amount of fuel delivered to the injector, according to the invention essentially designed such that the bolt-like portion has an insert in which the flow restrictor is formed and which carries the first sealing surface , The bolt-like portion of the locking bolt is thus formed at least in two parts, wherein the insert faces the high pressure accumulator and ensures the sealing of the high pressure accumulator with the first sealing surface. The fact that the flow restrictor is now arranged in this insert, the difficult to manufacture geometries of the flow restrictor are limited to the use, so that the main body of the locking bolt is much easier to manufacture. In particular, the high pressure applied geometries of the body can be performed without manufacturing difficulties with the appropriate radii and surfaces. Furthermore, the two-part design means that the high-pressure bore of the locking bolt no longer has to extend through the entire locking pin, so that the use of a locking screw can be dispensed with, whereby the risk of manipulation by unauthorized persons is reduced. A further advantage is that the insert can be exchanged in a simple manner with a constant basic body, so that a simple adaptation of the closing amount of the flow restrictor succeeds by providing a plurality of inserts with a different design of the flow restrictor.

Der Einsatz muss nicht über eigene Verbindungsmittel verfügen, um mit dem Grundkörper verbunden zu werden. Vielmehr sieht eine bevorzugte Ausbildung vor, dass das Verschrauben des Grundkörpers mit dem Injektorkörper gleichzeitig die erforderliche Haltekraft für den Einsatz zur Verfügung stellt. Die Ausbildung ist zu diesem Zweck bevorzugt derart getroffen, dass der Einsatz eine Schulter mit einer zweiten, vorzugsweise kegeligen Dichtfläche aufweist, die mit einer Gegenfläche des bolzenartigen Abschnitts zusammenwirkt. Der Einschraubvorgang des Verschlussbolzens bringt dann die erforderliche Dichtkraft an beiden Dichtflächen gleichzeitig auf, nämlich an der ersten, zwischen dem Injektorkörper und dem Einsatz zur Wirkung gelangenden Dichtfläche und an der zweiten, zwischen dem Einsatz und dem Grundkörper des Verschlussbolzens bzw. des bolzenartigen Abschnitts zur Wirkung gelangenden Dichtfläche. Bevorzugt ist die erste und/oder die zweite Dichtfläche kegelig bzw. konisch ausgebildet.The insert does not have to have its own connection means to be connected to the base body. Rather, a preferred embodiment provides that the screwing of the base body with the injector body simultaneously provides the required holding force for use. The formation is preferably made for this purpose such that the insert has a shoulder with a second, preferably conical sealing surface, which cooperates with a counter surface of the bolt-like portion. The screwing of the locking bolt then brings the required sealing force on both sealing surfaces at the same time, namely on the first, between the injector body and the insert reaching the effective sealing surface and on the second, between the insert and the main body of the locking bolt or the bolt-like portion to effect reaching sealing surface. Preferably, the first and / or the second sealing surface is conical or conical.

Mit Vorteil ist ein insbesondere an die Schulter anschließender axialer Abschnitt des Einsatzes in einer Aufnahmebohrung des bolzenartigen Abschnitts aufgenommen. In diesem axialen Abschnitt kann besonders bevorzugt der Durchflussbegrenzer zumindest teilweise angeordnet werden, wodurch sich eine hohe Dauerfestigkeit erzielen lässt. Dies insbesondere wenn, wie dies einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung entspricht, der axiale Abschnitt des Einsatzes so in der Aufnahmebohrung aufgenommen ist, dass er von außen und von innen mit dem Druck des Hochdruckkraftstoffes beaufschlagbar ist. Dadurch wird ein druckausgeglichener Bereich geschaffen, der Druckschwingungen in wesentlich geringerem Ausmaß unterworfen ist. Insbesondere werden die auf die auf den Durchflussbegrenzer wirkenden Druckstöße minimiert. In dem druckausgeglichenen Bereich können die schwierig herzustellenden Geometrien des Durchflussbegrenzers ohne weiters realisiert werden, ohne die Dauerfestigkeit zu beeinträchtigen. Zur Erzielung eines druckausgeglichenen Bereichs ist der in der Aufnahmebohrung aufgenommene Abschnitt des Einsatzes zumindest in seinem vorderen Bereich mit einem gegenüber dem hinteren, dem Hochdruckspeicher zugewandten Bereich geringfügig verringerten Außendurchmesser ausgebildet. Weiters ist der Einsatz so ausgebildet, dass zwischen seiner Stirnfläche und dem Grund der Aufnahmebohrung ein Spalt verbleibt, damit der Einsatz in dem druckausgeglichenen Bereich von außen von Hochdruckkraftstoff beaufschlagt werden kann.Advantageously, a particular subsequent to the shoulder axial portion of the insert is received in a receiving bore of the bolt-like portion. In this axial section, the flow restrictor may particularly preferably be arranged at least partially, as a result of which high fatigue strength can be achieved. This in particular if, as corresponds to a preferred development, the axial portion of the insert is received in the receiving bore, that it can be acted upon from the outside and from the inside with the pressure of the high-pressure fuel. As a result, a pressure balanced area is created, which is subjected to pressure oscillations to a much lesser extent. In particular, the pressure surges acting on the flow restrictor are minimized. In the pressure balanced region, the difficult to manufacture flow restrictor geometries can be readily implemented without compromising fatigue strength. To achieve a pressure-compensated area of the recorded in the receiving bore portion of the insert is formed at least in its front region with respect to the rear, the high-pressure accumulator facing region slightly reduced outer diameter. Furthermore, the insert is designed so that a gap remains between its end face and the bottom of the receiving bore, so that the insert in the pressure-compensated region can be acted upon from the outside by high-pressure fuel.

Eine bevorzugte Weiterbildung sieht weiters vor, dass die Aufnahmebohrung am Übergang in die Hochdruckbohrung eine ringförmige Auflagefläche für das Schließglied, insbesondere die Kugel des Durchflussbegrenzers aufweist.A preferred development further provides that the receiving bore at the transition into the high pressure bore has an annular bearing surface for the closing member, in particular the ball of the flow restrictor.

Um während der Einspritzung von Kraftstoff in den Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine ein Nachströmen von Kraftstoff in den Hochdruckspeicher zu ermöglichen und um eine gegenseitige Beeinflussung des Einspritzdrucks oder der Einspritzmenge der einzelnen Injektoren zu verhindern, ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Hochdruckbohrung über eine in dem Einsatz ausgebildete Drossel in den Injektor mündet. Die Anordnung der Drossel im Einsatz bringt den Vorteil mit sich, dass eine Anpassung des Drosselquerschnitts an die jeweiligen Bedürfnisse in einfacher Weise durch Austausch des Einsatzes gelingt, ohne dass hierfür der gesamte Verschlussbolzen ersetzt werden müsste.In order to enable a subsequent flow of fuel into the high-pressure accumulator during the injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine and to prevent mutual interference of the injection pressure or the injection quantity of the individual injectors, it is preferably provided that the high-pressure bore via a throttle formed in the insert opens into the injector. The arrangement of the throttle in use brings with it the advantage that an adaptation of the throttle cross section to the respective needs in easy way by replacing the insert succeeds, without requiring the entire locking pin would have to be replaced.

Bevorzugt ist im Einsatz ein Stabfilter angeordnet, der grobe Partikel aus dem Kraftstoff zurückhält.In use, a rod filter is preferably arranged which retains coarse particles from the fuel.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand von in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. In dieser zeigen Fig. 1 eine Ausbildung des Verschlussbolzens nach dem Stand der Technik und Fig. 2 eine Ausbildung nach der vorliegenden Erfindung.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to embodiments shown schematically in the drawing. In this show Fig. 1 an embodiment of the locking bolt according to the prior art and Fig. 2 an embodiment according to the present invention.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Endabschnitt eines Injektorkörpers 1 dargestellt, in dem ein Hochdruckspeicher 2 integriert ist. Das den Hochruckspeicher 2 beherbergende Teil wird manchmal auch als Haltekörper bezeichnet. Der Injektor- oder Haltekörper 1 weist eine zum Hochdruckspeicher 2 führende Öffnung 3 auf, in die ein bolzenartiger Abschnitt 4 eines Verschlussbolzens 5 eingeführt ist. Der bolzenartige Abschnitt 4 weist an der dem Hochdruckspeicher 2 zugewandten Stirnseite eine kegelige Dichtfläche 6 auf, die mit einer entsprechenden Gegenfläche am Rand der Öffnung 3 zusammenwirkt. Die erforderliche Haltekraft wird mittels einer Spannmutter 7 aufgebracht, die mit ihrem Innengewinde mit axial aneinander anschließenden Außengewinden des Injektorkörpers 2 und des Verschlussbolzens 5 zusammenwirkt. Zwischen der Schulter 8 des Verschlussbolzens 5 und der ringförmigen Stirnfläche 9 des Injektorkörpers 1 ist ein Spalt 10 vorgesehen, um eine Doppelpassung zu vermeiden.In Fig. 1 an end portion of an injector body 1 is shown, in which a high-pressure accumulator 2 is integrated. The high-pressure accumulator 2 accommodating part is sometimes referred to as a holding body. The injector or holding body 1 has a leading to the high-pressure accumulator 2 opening 3, in which a bolt-like portion 4 of a locking pin 5 is inserted. The bolt-like portion 4 has at the high-pressure accumulator 2 facing end face on a conical sealing surface 6, which cooperates with a corresponding counter-surface at the edge of the opening 3. The required holding force is applied by means of a clamping nut 7, which cooperates with its internal thread with axially adjoining external threads of the injector body 2 and the locking pin 5. Between the shoulder 8 of the locking pin 5 and the annular end face 9 of the injector body 1, a gap 10 is provided in order to avoid a double fit.

Weiters ist eine den Verschlussbolzen 5 axial durchsetzende Hochdruckbohrung 11 vorgesehen, die auf der einen Seite mittels einer Verschlussschraube 12 verschlossen ist und auf der anderen Seite über eine Drossel 13 mit dem Hochdruckspeicher 2 in Verbindung steht. Die Verschlussschraube 11 weist einen zentralen Fortsatz 14 auf, der eine Kugel 15 des Durchflussbegrenzers 16 abstützt. Die Kugel 15 wird mittels einer Schraubenfeder 17 in Richtung zum Fortsatz 14 beaufschlagt. Der Ventilsitz des Durchflussbegrenzers 16 ist mit 18 bezeichnet. Die Funktion des Durchflussbegrenzers 16 ist wie folgt: Bei Common-Rail-Systemen können unter ungünstigen Umständen Leckagen auftreten, sei es im Leitungssystem oder durch defekte Einspritzventile. Einspritzventile mit klemmenden Düsennadeln, die zu Dauereinspritzungen in den Brennraum führen, können erhebliche Schäden verursachen. Diese Schäden können zum Brand des Fahrzeuges oder zur Zerstörung des Motors führen. Durchflussmengenbegrenzer mit Schließfunktion dienen der Vermeidung dieser Gefahren, die bei Überschreiten einer maximalen Entnahmemenge aus dem Hochdruckspeicher den Zulauf zu dem betroffenen Injektor verschließen und damit den einspritzpumpenseitigen Hochdruck von der Einspritzventilseite abkoppeln.Furthermore, a closure bolt 5 axially passing through the high-pressure bore 11 is provided, which is closed on one side by means of a screw plug 12 and is on the other side via a throttle 13 with the high-pressure accumulator 2 in combination. The closure screw 11 has a central extension 14, which supports a ball 15 of the flow restrictor 16. The ball 15 is acted upon by means of a coil spring 17 in the direction of the extension 14. The valve seat of the flow restrictor 16 is designated by 18. The function of the flow restrictor 16 is as follows: With common rail systems, under unfavorable circumstances leaks may occur, be it in the piping system or due to defective injectors. Injectors with clamping nozzle needles, which lead to continuous injections into the combustion chamber, can cause significant damage. These damages can lead to the fire of the vehicle or to the destruction of the engine. Flow rate limiters with closing function serve to avoid these dangers, which close the inlet to the affected injector when a maximum withdrawal quantity is exceeded from the high-pressure accumulator and thus decouple the injection-pump-side high-pressure from the injection-valve side.

Bei der Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 1 wird die Kugel 15 in der Bohrung 11 auf einen Anschlag (Fortsatz 14) gedrückt und bewegt sich durch die während der Einspritzung entstehende Strömung auf Grund des Druckunterschiedes bei Kugelumströmung in Richtung des Dichtsitzes 18. Bei Überschreiten einer maximalen Einspritzmenge geht die Kugel 15 in den Sitz 18 und verhindert eine weitere Strömung in den Injektor, wodurch eine Dauereinspritzung verhindert wird.In the training according to Fig. 1 the ball 15 is pressed in the bore 11 to a stop (extension 14) and moves through the resulting during injection flow due to the pressure difference at ball flow in the direction of the sealing seat 18. When a maximum injection quantity is exceeded, the ball 15 goes into the seat 18 and prevents further flow into the injector, whereby a continuous injection is prevented.

In der Hochdruckbohrung 11 ist weiters ein Stabfilter 19 angeordnet. In die Hochdruckbohrung 11 mündet eine radiale Leitung, die mit einem Hochdruckanschluss 20 ausgestattet ist. An den Hochdruckanschluss 20 ist eine nicht näher dargestellte Leitung angeschlossen, über welche die Zufuhr von Hochdruckkraftstoff von einer nicht dargestellten Hochdruckpumpe erfolgt. Der Verschlussbolzen 5 weist einen weiteren Hochdruckanschluss 21 auf, über den eine Verbindung zu einem nachfolgenden Injektor hergestellt werden kann.In the high-pressure bore 11, a rod filter 19 is further arranged. In the high-pressure bore 11 opens a radial line, which is equipped with a high pressure port 20. To the high pressure port 20, a line not shown is connected, via which the supply of high-pressure fuel from a high-pressure pump, not shown, takes place. The closure pin 5 has a further high-pressure port 21, via which a connection to a subsequent injector can be made.

Bei der Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 1 ist die Hochdruckbohrung 11 im Betrieb mit dem Druck des Hochdruckkraftstoffes beaufschlagt, was bei Systemdrücken von über 1600 bar im Bereich der für die Ausbildung des Durchflussbegrenzers erforderlichen Radien und dgl. Geometrien zu einer unzulässigen dynamischen Beanspruchung führt.In the training according to Fig. 1 During operation, the high-pressure bore 11 is subjected to the pressure of the high-pressure fuel, which leads to an impermissible dynamic load at system pressures of more than 1600 bar in the region of the radii and the like required for the formation of the flow restrictor.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausbildung gemäß Fig. 2 werden für gleiche Teile dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Fig. 1 verwendet. Der bolzenartige Abschnitt 4 des Verschlussbolzens 5 weist eine Aufnahmebohrung 22 auf, in die ein axialer Abschnitt 23 eines Einsatzes 24 aufgenommen ist. Der Einsatz 24 beherbergt in der Hochdruckbohrung 11 den Durchflussbegrenzer 16, das Stabfilter 19 und die Drossel 13. Der Einsatz 24 weist eine Schulter 25 auf, an der eine kegelige Dichtfläche 26 ausgebildet ist, die mit einer kegeligen Gegenfläche des bolzenartigen Abschnitts 4 zusammenwirkt. Dies führt dazu, dass das Verschrauben des Verschlussbolzens 5 mittels der Spannmutter 7 gleichzeitig eine Dichtkraft an der Dichtfläche 6 und an der Dichtfläche 26 erzeugt.In the embodiment according to the invention Fig. 2 For the same parts, the same reference numerals as in Fig. 1 used. The bolt-like portion 4 of the locking bolt 5 has a receiving bore 22 into which an axial portion 23 of an insert 24 is received. The insert 24 accommodates in the high pressure bore 11 the flow restrictor 16, the rod filter 19 and the throttle 13. The insert 24 has a shoulder 25 on which a conical sealing surface 26 is formed, which cooperates with a conical counter surface of the bolt-like portion 4. This causes the bolting of the locking bolt 5 simultaneously generates a sealing force on the sealing surface 6 and on the sealing surface 26 by means of the clamping nut 7.

Die Stirnfläche des axialen Abschnitts 23 endet in Abstand vor der am Übergang der Aufnahmebohrung 22 in die Hochdruckbohrung 11 vorgesehenen ringförmigen Auflagefläche 28. Weiters ist der in der Aufnahmebohrung 22 aufgenommene axiale Abschnitt 23 in seinem vorderen Bereich 27 mit einem verringerten Außendurchmesser ausgebildet, sodass in dem hierdurch entstehenden Ringspalt zwischen dem Außenumfang des vorderen Bereichs 27 des axialen Abschnitts 23 und der Aufnahmebohrung 22 der Druck des Hochdruckkraftstoffs von außen auf den Durchflussbegrenzer 16 zur Wirkung gelangen kann. Dies führt zu einem druckausgeglichenen Bereich des Durchflussbegrenzers 16, sodass die Schwingbelastung verringert wird.The end face of the axial portion 23 terminates at a distance from the provided at the transition of the receiving bore 22 in the high-pressure bore 11 annular bearing surface 28. Further, the recorded in the receiving bore 22 axial portion 23 is formed in its front portion 27 with a reduced outer diameter, so that in the Resulting annular gap between the outer periphery of the front portion 27 of the axial portion 23 and the receiving bore 22, the pressure of the high-pressure fuel from the outside on the flow restrictor 16 can be effective. This results in a pressure compensated region of the flow restrictor 16, so that the vibration load is reduced.
