Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftstoffinjektor nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1, wie z.B. in der
Ein derartiger Kraftstoffinjektor ist aus der
Derzeitige Kraftstoffeinspritzsysteme bei selbstzündenden Brennkraftmaschinen arbeiten mit einem Systemdruck von etwa 1500bar bis maximal etwa 2000bar. Für zukünftige Entwicklungen ist es aus Gründen der Kraftstoffeffizienz geplant, den Systemdruck auf deutlich mehr als 2000bar zu erhöhen. Das bedeutet, dass bei dem angesprochenen Abströmen der Steuermenge im Bereich des Steuerventils eine noch stärkere Druckreduzierung mit einer damit verbundenen noch stärkeren Erhöhung der Kraftstofftemperatur verbunden ist. Insbesondere bei Piezoaktoren gibt es eine Temperaturobergrenze, bis zu der die Piezoaktoren zuverlässig arbeiten, ohne dass hierzu zusätzliche konstruktive Maßnahmen bzw. Piezoaktoren aus temperaturbeständigeren Materialien erforderlich sind. Bei der angesprochenen geplanten Systemdruckerhöhung gelangt man jedoch in einen Temperaturbereich des Kraftstoffs, bei dem bei herkömmlichen Piezoaktoren ein zuverlässiger Betrieb nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Aus diesem Grund ist es beispielsweise aus der nachveröffentlichten
Ausgehend von dem dargestellten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kraftstoffinjektor nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 derart weiterzubilden, dass der in den Aufnahmeraum für den Piezoaktor als auch in die Rücklaufbohrung einströmende Kraftstoff mit gegenüber dem Stand der Technik reduzierter Temperatur eintritt, ohne dass hierzu zusätzliche (externe) Kraftstoffzuführungen aus einem Bereich außerhalb des Kraftstoffinjektors erforderlich sind. Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Kraftstoffinjektor mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die beim Schalten des Steuerventils abströmende Steuermenge über einen Strömungsweg in einen ringförmigen Zwischenbereich zwischen der Düsenspannmutter und dem Düsenkörper und/oder der Ventilplatte und/oder der Drosselplatte gelangt. Dort kann der Kraftstoff abgekühlt werden, bevor er in die unmittelbare Umgebung temperaturempfindlicher Bauteile gelangt.Based on the illustrated prior art, the present invention seeks to further develop a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1 such that the flowing into the receiving space for the piezoelectric actuator as well as in the return bore fuel occurs with respect to the prior art reduced temperature, without the need for additional (external) fuel supply from an area outside the fuel injector. This object is achieved in a fuel injector with the features of claim 1 according to the invention that the outflowing when switching the control valve control amount passes through a flow path in an annular intermediate region between the nozzle retaining nut and the nozzle body and / or the valve plate and / or throttle plate. There, the fuel can be cooled before it enters the immediate vicinity of temperature-sensitive components.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffinjektors sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben. In den Rahmen der Erfindung fallen sämtliche Kombinationen aus zumindest zwei von in den Ansprüchen, der Beschreibung und/oder den Figuren offenbarten Merkmalen.Advantageous developments of the fuel injector according to the invention are specified in the subclaims. All combinations of at least two of the features disclosed in the claims, the description and / or the figures fall within the scope of the invention.
In einer konstruktiven bevorzugten Umsetzung der Verbindung zum bzw. vom ringförmigen Zwischenbereich wird vorgeschlagen, dass die weitere Verbindung einen Ausleitkanal in den Ringraum und einen Rückleitkanal aus dem Ringraum umfasst, wobei der Rückleitkanal zumindest mittelbar in der Rücklaufbohrung mündet.In a constructive preferred implementation of the connection to or from the annular intermediate region is proposed that the further connection a discharge channel into the annulus and a return channel from the annulus comprises, wherein the return channel opens at least indirectly in the return bore.
Ganz besonders bevorzugt ist es vorgesehen, dass der Ausleitkanal und der Rückleitkanal zumindest im Wesentlichen als radial zur Längsachse der Ventilplatte angeordnete Kanäle ausgebildet sind.Most preferably, it is provided that the diversion channel and the return channel are formed at least substantially as arranged radially to the longitudinal axis of the valve plate channels.
Um einen möglichst langen Strömungsweg bzw. eine möglichst lange Verweilzeit des heißen Kraftstoffs in dem ringförmigen Zwischenbereich zu ermöglichen, ist es in einer weiteren Variante der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass der Ausleitkanal und der Rücklaufkanal auf einander gegenüberliegenden Seiten des aus der Ventilplatte, der Drosselplatte und des Düsenkörpers bestehenden Verbunds angeordnet sind.In order to allow the longest possible flow path or the longest possible residence time of the hot fuel in the annular intermediate region, it is provided in a further variant of the invention that the discharge channel and the return channel on opposite sides of the from the valve plate, the throttle plate and the Nozzle body existing composite are arranged.
Zusätzlich kann es weiterhin vorgesehen sein, dass ein Teil der Steuermenge aus dem Steuerventilraum in den Aktorraum abströmt. Mit anderen Worten gesagt bedeutet dies, dass lediglich ein Teil der Steuermenge über den ringförmigen Zwischenbereich geführt wird, während ein anderer Teil der Steuermenge unmittelbar in den Aktorraum abgeleitet wird.In addition, it may further be provided that a part of the control quantity flows out of the control valve chamber into the actuator chamber. In other words, this means that only part of the control amount is passed over the annular intermediate area, while another part of the control amount is discharged directly into the actuator space.
Aus der eingangs erwähnten
In einer Variante der letztgenannten Ausführung ist es möglich, dass die Verbindung einen Ablauf aufweist, der in einen Ausleitkanal mündet. Zusätzlich kann es vorgesehen sein, dass der Ausleitkanal über den Ringraum und einen Rückleitkanal in eine Steigleitung mündet, die mit der Rücklaufleitung verbunden ist. Eine soweit beschriebene Ausgestaltung lässt sich konstruktiv relativ einfach und kompakt ausbilden.In a variant of the last-mentioned embodiment, it is possible that the connection has a drain, which opens into a discharge channel. Additionally it can be provided be that the discharge channel opens through the annulus and a return passage in a riser, which is connected to the return line. An embodiment described so far can be structurally relatively simple and compact form.

In der
Die Düsennadel 10 ist an ihrem vom Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine abgewandten Ende in einer Hülse 22 geführt, wobei die Hülse 22 durch eine Schließfeder 18, die die Düsennadel 10 umgibt und sich der Hülse 22 abgewandt mittelbar an einem Absatz 16 abstützt, gegen die Drosselplatte 6 drückt. Durch die Hülse 22, die vom Brennraum abgewandten Stirnseite der Düsennadel 10 und die Drosselplatte 6 wird ein Steuerraum 20 begrenzt, der mit Kraftstoff befüllt ist, so dass durch den Druck im Steuerraum 20 eine hydraulische Kraft auf die vom Brennraum abgewandte Stirnseite der Düsennadel 10 ausgeübt wird und eine Kraft in Richtung des Düsensitzes 13 auf die Düsennadel 10 ausübt.The
Im Haltekörper 2, der Ventilplatte 4 und der Drosselplatte 6 ist ein Zulaufkanal 25 ausgebildet, über den verdichteter Kraftstoff unter hohem Druck von einer Kraftstoffhochdruckquelle in den Druckraum 14 geleitet wird. Der Zulaufkanal 25 ist mit dem Steuerraum 20 über eine in der Drosselplatte 6 verlaufende Zulaufdrossel 40 verbunden. Mit einer gewissen zeitlichen Verzögerung stellt sich so bei geschlossenem Steuerventil 30 stets der gleiche Kraftstoffdruck im Zulaufkanal 25 und im Steuerraum 20 ein.In the
Zur Steuerung des Kraftstoffdrucks im Steuerraum 20 ist das zwischen zwei Schaltstellungen schaltbares Steuerventil 30 in der Ventilplatte 4 vorgesehen, wobei das Steuerventil 30 einen Steuerventilraum 31 aufweist, der als Hohlraum in der Ventilplatte 4 ausgebildet ist. Der Steuerventilraum 31 ist über eine Ablaufdrossel 42, die in der Drosselplatte 6 ausgebildet ist, mit dem Steuerraum 20 im Düsenkörper 8 verbunden. Im Steuerventilraum 31 ist ein Steuerventilglied 34 längsverschiebbar angeordnet, wobei das Steuerventilglied 34 eine kolbenförmige Gestalt aufweist und an seinem der Drosselplatte 6 abgewandten Ende eine pilzförmige Erweiterung hat, an der eine Dichtfläche 52 ausgebildet ist, mit der das Steuerventilglied 34 mit einem Steuerventilsitz 37 zusammenwirkt, der an der Innenseite des Steuerventilraums 31 ausgebildet ist.For controlling the fuel pressure in the
Das Steuerventilglied 34 ist an seinem dem Steuerventilsitz 37 abgewandten Ende in einer Hülse 36 geführt, die sich mit einem Ende an der Drosselplatte 6 abstützt, und zwischen der und dem Steuerventilglied 34 eine Feder 38 unter Druckvorspannung angeordnet ist. Durch die Kraft der Feder 38 wird einerseits das Steuerventilglied 34 gegen den Steuerventilsitz 37 gepresst, und andererseits die Hülse 36 gegen die Drosselplatte 6. Die Bewegung des Steuerventilglieds 34 im Steuerventilraum 31 geschieht über einen in einem Kopplergehäuse 33 geführten Kolben 32, der im Haltekörper 2 angeordnet ist, und der durch einen elektrischen Aktor in seiner Längsrichtung bewegbar ist, insbesondere durch einen einzelnen nicht dargestellten Piezoaktor. Der Kolben 32 mit dem Kopplergehäuse 33 befindet sich hierbei in einem als Aktoraufnahmeraum ausgebildeten, stets unter Niederdruck stehenden Aktorraum 23, der stets druckentlastet ist.The
Durch die Hülse 36, das Steuerventilglied 34 und die Drosselplatte 6 wird ein Leckageraum 54 begrenzt, in dem ein Niederdruck vorhanden ist, und der über einen Leckölablauf 45 druckentlastet ist. Der Leckölablauf 45 kann hierbei beispielsweise eine Verbindung mit dem Aktorraum 23 aufweisen.Through the

Beim Betrieb des Kraftstoffinjektors 1 gelangt Kraftstoff beim Öffnen des Steuerventils 30 über den Steuerventilsitz 37 und durch Abströmbohrungen 35 im Kopplergehäuse 33 in den Aktorraum 23, in dem auch der Piezoaktor angeordnet ist. Infolge der Druckreduzierung des Kraftstoffes weist der Kraftstoff dabei eine relativ hohe Temperatur auf. Dabei erwärmt sich der Kraftstoff umso mehr, desto höher der Systemdruck bzw. der Betriebsdruck des Kraftstoffinjektors 1 ist, da in diesem Fall eine besonders große Druckreduzierung mit einer damit verbundenen besonders großen Temperaturerhöhung des Kraftstoffes einhergeht.During operation of the fuel injector 1, when the

Beim Betrieb des Kraftstoffinjektors 100 gelangt über den Steuerventilsitz 37 in Richtung des Kopplerkörpers 33 ausströmender Kraftstoff zunächst über den Ausleitkanal 60 in den Ringraum 5 und von dort über den Rücklaufkanal 61 und den Rücklaufkanalabschnitt 62 in die Ringnut 63, von wo der Kraftstoff über die Steigleitung 64 und die Rücklaufbohrung 65 aus dem Kraftstoffinjektor 100 abgeführt wird. Dadurch, dass der Kraftstoff insbesondere durch den Ringraum 5 strömt, findet eine Abkühlung bzw. Temperaturerniedrigung des Kraftstoffes statt, bevor er in den Bereich des Haltekörpers 2 gelangt. Dasselbe gilt auch für den aus dem Leckageraum 54 ausströmenden Kraftstoff, der sich insbesondere mit dem bereits im Ringraum 5 befindlichen bzw. den Ringraum 5 durchströmenden Kraftstoff mischt.During operation of the

Der soweit beschriebene erfindungsgemäße Kraftstoffinjektor 100 kann in vielfältiger Art und Weise abgewandelt bzw. modifiziert werden, ohne vom Erfindungsgedanken abzuweichen. Denkbare Modifikationen des Kraftstoffinjektors 100 können z.B. derart sein, dass lediglich der in dem Leckageraum 54 befindliche Kraftstoff über den Ringraum 5 geführt wird. Zuletzt ist es auch denkbar, die Ableitung des Kraftstoffes aus dem Ringraum 5 über eine in dem Haltekörper 2 ausgebildete Radialbohrung oder eine in einer Stirnfläche des Haltekörpers 2 ausgebildete, radial verlaufende Nut direkt in die Rücklaufbohrung 65 auszubilden.
