Definitions
- the present invention relates to the valve control arrangement of a fuel injector.
- High pressure fuel injectors are provided with needle or shafts that are hydraulically piloted via a control valve arrangement. It is known that to minimize undesirable exhaust emissions the lift of the needle must happen at a controlled speed while the closing must be extremely prompt.
- EP2093410 and in
- DE102007055895 are disclosed valve arrangements provided with a control valve associated to a restriction orifice and with a larger filling valve. A remaining issue is to properly damp hydraulic waves that occur at each injection event.
- the arrangement comprises a valve housing wherein are arranged a filling channel extending from a high pressure fuel supply line to a filling chamber that is in a first fluid communication with a first control chamber.
- the first fluid communication is controlled by a filling valve normally biased open, by a first spring, away from a first seat arranged in the valve housing.
- a communication channel extends from the first control chamber to a second control chamber that is in a second fluid communication with a low pressure outlet line.
- the second fluid communication is controlled by a control valve normally biased closed, by a second spring, in complementary abutment against a second seat arranged in the housing, the control valve cooperating with an actuator to commute from the normally closed position to an open position.
- the arrangement further comprises a bore in which a piston is slidably arranged, the piston piloting the injection of the fuel into a compression chamber.
- the bore is in a third fluid communication with the first control chamber.
- the bore directly opens into the first control chamber, said third fluid communication being unrestricted.
- the communication channel is provided with a restriction spill orifice so that the fuel pressure decreases when entering the second control chamber.
- the volume of the second control chamber is arranged to be minimal.
- the filling valve and the control valve are poppet valves each provided with a stem, the two valves being coaxially arranged and in close vicinity.
- the second control chamber is between the extremity of the filling valve stem and the control valve so that the volume of said second control chamber is minimal.
- the communication channel axially extends throughout the filling valve.
- the filling channel is provided with another restriction arranged before the filling chamber.
- the first spring is a coil spring arranged inside the filling chamber around the stem of the filling valve and, the second spring is a leaf spring having a relatively flat form, engaged around the stem of the control valve.
- the filling valve is provided with a lift stop that limits the valve displacement between the open position and the closed position.
- the second valve seat is arranged near the top of the valve housing leaving a relatively thin wall between said seat and the low pressure chamber.
- the thin wall is able to flex slightly under changes of pressure in the second control chamber so that, the combination of a flexible seating, short and stiff control valve and low volumes ensures that a good force signal is transmitted to the actuator caused by the control pressure increase after nozzle needle closure.
- the invention is also related to a fuel injector wherein a movable needle cooperates with a nozzle to enable or prohibit fuel injection, the needle being hydraulically piloted by a control valve arrangement as described in the preceding paragraphs.
- a fuel injector 10 comprises a control valve arrangement 12 is now described in reference to the figure.
- Such fuel injectors 10 generally comprise a needle guide housing 14 in which a needle 16 is slidable within a bore 18 and engageable with a needle seat, not represented, to control the flow of fuel from a high pressure fuel supply line 20 through the housing 14.
- valve housing 22 On the top of the needle guide housing 14 is fixed a valve housing 22 provided with a through hole extending along a vertical valve axis A2, slightly offset relative to the main vertical axis Al . Said through hole comprises several coaxial sections now described from bottom to top.
- a first cylindrical section forming a first control chamber 24 axially A2 extends and its section restricts to form a first frustroconical valve seat 26 that opens into a filling chamber 28.
- the filling chamber 28 has a toric wall 30 and above said filling chamber 28 axially A2 extends a cylindrical guide portion 32 which at its very top further restricts forming a second frustroconical valve seat 34.
- the central aperture of said second valve seat 34 opens into a large low pressure chamber 36 where from departs a return low pressure line 38.
- the axial offset Al, A2 is sufficiently limited so more than half of the section of the bore 18 directly opens into the first control chamber 24 creating an unrestricted fluid communication between the first control chamber 24 and the bore 18.
- a first poppet valve 40 identified as the filling valve 40, is arranged so to cooperate with the first valve seat 26.
- the disc-plug portion 42 of the valve occupies the vast majority of the volume of the first control chamber 24 and the stem 44 of the filling valve 40 axially upwardly extends from said disc-plug 42 through the filling chamber 28 and is vertically A2 guided in the guide portion 32.
- a coil spring 46 arranged around the stem 44 is compressed between the top portion of the toric wall 30 and the upper face of the disc-plug 42 so that, the coil spring 46 permanently solicits the filling valve 40 in an open position away from the first valve seat 26.
- the filling valve 40 is further provided with an internal axial
- the communication channel 48 downwardly opens in the first control chamber 24 and also in the bore 18.
- the filling valve 40 is provided with a lift stop 54 that downwardly protrudes from said lower face so to limit the range of displacement of the filling valve 40, the lift stop 54 abutting against the top face of the needle guide housing 14 when the filling valve 40 opens.
- a second poppet valve 56 identified as the control valve 56, is arranged above the filling valve 40, so to cooperate with the second valve seat 34.
- the control valve 56 is smaller than the filling valve 40 and is similarly provided with a disc-plug portion 58 and a stem 60 upwardly extending into the low pressure chamber 36.
- a spring 62 is arranged around the stem 60 so upwardly solicit the control valve 56 in a closed position, the disc-plug 58 being in complementary abutment against the second valve seat 34.
- the spring 62 is a flat spring maintained arranged around the stem 60 by a key 64.
- the stem 60 is provided at its top with a radially outwardly extending face in which is engaged the key 64.
- said face follows a conical portion; other alternatives are possible such as a groove.
- the flat spring 62 can for instance be a leaf spring or a disc spring.
- a piloted actuator such as an actuator 66 which cooperates with the control valve 56 to downwardly open it in pushing it away from the second valve seat 34.
- a second control chamber 68 is formed inside the cylindrical guide portion 32 between the top surface 50 of the filling valve stem 44 and the lower face of the control valve 56. As can be seen the arrangement 12 is such that the second control chamber 68 is very small as the top face 50 of the stem 44 is arranged to be in the close vicinity to the lower face of the control valve 56.
- a filling channel 70 in which is arranged a further restriction orifice 72 that opens in the toric wall 30 of the filling chamber 28.
- valve arrangement 12 In a first phase the injection of fuel is prohibited as the needle 16 is in a downward position in complementary abutment against the needle seat.
- the actuator 66 is not energized and therefor the control valve 56 is normally closed and the filling valve 40 is normally open.
- a continuous fluid communication is established between the high pressure line 20, the filling channel 70, the filling chamber 28, the first control chamber 24, the top portion of the bore 18, the communication channel 48 and the second control chamber 68. This volume is filled with high pressure fuel maintaining the needle 16 in the downward position.
- the injection event started above is ended by ending to energize the actuator 66.
- the flat spring 62 upwardly pulls the control valve 56 toward closing the second valve seat 34.
- the fuel contained in the top portion of the bore 18, in the communication channel 48 and in the second control chamber 68 quickly adjusts to a common pressure.
- the filling valve 40 now mainly solicited by the combined forces of the coil spring 46 and the high pressure fuel contained in the filling chamber 28, opens re-establishing the full volume in fluid communication as detailed above. In said volume the fuel quickly re-pressurizes pushing the needle 16 toward closing the nozzle seat and ending the injection event.
- any hydraulic wave displacing in the high pressure line 20 and in the filling channel 70 is quickly damped in the said restriction orifice 72 and in the filling chamber 28.
- a complementary feature of the preferred embodiment is that the second valve seat 34 being placed near the top of the valve housing 22 leaves a relatively thin wall 74 between said seat 34 and the low pressure chamber 36. This thin wall 74 is able to flex slightly under changes of pressure in the second control chamber 68.
- the combination of a flexible seating, short and stiff control valve and low volumes ensures that a good force signal is transmitted to the actuator caused by the control pressure increase after nozzle needle closure.
