Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fuel injector as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the injection nozzle generates a fuel jet shaped according to the design, the liquid components of which are atomized by the ultrasound-frequency-vibrating part of the entire nozzle into a flowing droplet mist consisting of fine aerosol droplets.
  • the same is apparent from JP-A-60 22 066 for the person skilled in the art.
  • the present invention is concerned with a development going in another direction, namely measures for make an appropriate choice of the shape of the fuel jet.
  • All known fuel injection nozzles have a characteristic shape of the fuel jet which is predetermined by their construction.
  • the shape of the fuel jet is known to be important for the air-fuel mixture formation, and not only in the With regard to minimal specific fuel consumption, but also with regard to environmental pollution due to undesirable emissions, and important for the smooth running of the engine.
  • a distinction is made between a fuel injection nozzle that generates a thread jet and a nozzle that delivers a cone jet. Both jet shapes are characteristic of one another, moreover, different size distributions of the droplets of the fuel sprayed out of the nozzle.
  • jet shapes are optimal.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide measures with which, in addition, at least largely optimal mixture formation can also be achieved with the selected injection nozzle for different operating states of the internal combustion engine.
  • the present invention is based on the idea of providing technical means on or for a fuel injection nozzle, with which the characteristic shape of the fuel jet of this one nozzle can be changed in an electrically controllable manner during operation.
  • the shape of the jet of the nozzle is controlled according to the invention in such a way that different opening angles of the injection jet, from the (slim) thread jet to a cone jet with e.g. 70th opening angle or even larger are achievable.
  • the spray shape can be controlled and optimally adjusted during operation.
  • the invention relates in particular to low-pressure injection at approximately 1 to 10 bar.
  • fuel injectors are also injectors.
  • the valve drive can be based on the effect of the liquid pressure exerted by the fuel to be injected.
  • injection nozzles are increasingly being provided with electromechanical devices for opening and closing their valve portion. Electromagnetic versions have mainly been provided for this purpose.
  • fuel injectors with a valve device with a piezoelectric drive.
  • the one fuel injection nozzle per cylinder is designed in such a way that it can bring about several mutually different, controllably selectable forms of "jet formation".
  • a "thread jet” can be generated with a fuel injection nozzle according to the invention, namely for continuous operation, the cross section of the impact on the valve being limited to a predeterminable proportion of the valve disk surface. This ensures that the fuel reaches the valve as “lossless” as possible and then immediately and without detour into the cylinder. The measured optimal air-fuel ratio can thus be maintained with certainty.
  • the evaporation of the fuel on the hot valve plate ensures that a finely divided fuel-air mixture is available for combustion in the cylinder.
  • the injection nozzle according to the invention is controlled so that a good fuel fine distribution occurs.
  • an injection “jet” is generated for this operating phase of the engine, which has a certain spreading in the manner of a cone jet.
  • a cone jet has the property that, and only at a certain distance from its nozzle opening, the liquid only disintegrates in the jet and that only then, but sufficiently early for the combustion process, is there a substantial proportion of the injection quantity in fine droplet distribution.
  • the above-mentioned distance is important here, because it can be achieved that this fuel fine distribution in the cone jet is present just before or even at the inlet valve and that droplets fail, e.g. on the wall of the intake pipe (i.e. in the area between the nozzle opening and the inlet valve) is excluded.
  • This advantage occurs particularly in such known injection nozzles that have an integrated ultrasonic liquid atomization. It must be taken into account that the fuel injector cannot be arranged anywhere near the inlet valve.
  • An injection nozzle according to the invention is designed so that it has a fast responding and fast working drive for opening and closing the nozzle opening. It can be advantageous in individual cases, in particular for optimally fulfilling the conditions in idle mode, if the injection nozzle according to the invention is one with proportional drive or proportional adjustability of the nozzle opening. It is thus easy to set such intermediate values of the degree of opening of the injection nozzle, with which an exact metering of the very small injection quantities that come into consideration, especially in idle mode, can be maintained per injection process.
  • the operational repetition frequency is in practical use, e.g. for a four-cylinder or six-cylinder engine and thus the repetition frequency for opening (t1) and closing (t2) the valve portion of the injector at about 5 Hz to 50 Hz.
  • the repetition frequency for opening (t1) and closing (t2) the valve portion of the injector at about 5 Hz to 50 Hz.
  • Correspondingly steep rising and falling edges of opening and closing of an injection nozzle according to the invention are at a frequency of considerably above 1 kHz (with a corresponding period T) as the upper limit of the Fourier spectrum of the opening and closing impulse.
  • the fuel throughput when the injector is continuously open (in the intake phase) is approx. 6 g / s per cylinder. This corresponds almost to full load operation.
  • the idle flow rate of such an engine is about 0.4 mg / s per cylinder. This clearly results in a dynamic range of four orders of magnitude to be managed.
  • an injection nozzle according to the invention are characterized in that the opening and closing of the injection (which is also designed as a valve) is in itself nozzle serving valve needle and / or the opening cross section of the nozzle are to be set in lifting movements.
  • the beam cross section ie the beam shape, for example from the thread jet to the cone jet, can be varied with different opening angles.
  • FIG. 1 which shows a time / excitation or. Opening diagram of an injection nozzle according to the invention shows.
  • the injection nozzle according to the invention is able to periodically follow the mechanical movements of the electrical excitation with its stroke movements due to the above-mentioned rapid response of its parts, in particular with proportional drive.
  • the excitation frequencies for this stroke movement are optimally in the range from 5 KHz to 20 KHz, that is to say far below ultrasonic atomizing frequencies. This dimensioning applies both to injection nozzles and valves in low-pressure systems (approx. 3 bar) and to those with the usual diameter (0.3 to 1 mm) of the nozzle.
  • Figure 2 shows a basic structure of an injection nozzle 10 according to the invention with a superimposed, rapidly changing stroke movement of the nozzle needle.
  • FIG. 3 shows a corresponding embodiment with a lifting movement of the (valve) seat of the injection nozzle 20.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show in side and front view an embodiment 40 with a device for modulating the effective injection opening.
  • Figure 6 shows a piezoceramic drive device.
  • FIG. 7 shows a magnetostrictive drive device
  • FIG. 8 shows an electrodynamic drive device for an injection nozzle according to the invention.
  • FIG. 9 shows a complete configuration of an injection nozzle according to the invention.
  • 11 denotes the nozzle needle, which also acts as a valve needle. It is located in the nozzle part 12 which has the bore shown as the nozzle opening 13. If the injection nozzle is closed, the front end of the nozzle needle 11 closes the nozzle opening 13. 14 indicates the controllable mobility of the nozzle needle 11.
  • fuel indicated at 15 flows along the nozzle needle 11 and within the nozzle part 12 to the nozzle opening 13 in order to form an injection jet with the conical shape having the characteristic 15 shown.
  • This jet shape 15 results from the fact that the nozzle needle 11 in the open position is superimposed on the additional alternating stroke movement indicated by 14.
  • FIG. 3 reference can largely be made to the details described for FIG. 2. Reference symbols already described for FIG. 2 have the same or at least meaningful meaning in FIG. 3.
  • alternating stroke movement is provided for the nozzle part 12 with the nozzle opening 13.
  • there is a beam shape which essentially corresponds to that of the embodiment according to FIG. 2.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show an additional device attached to the nozzle part 12 in the region of the nozzle opening 13.
  • FIG. 5 shows an end view belonging to FIG. 4, ie a view against the sprayed jet.
  • This additional device 51 of the actual injection nozzle of FIGS. 4 and 5 consist of, for example, four rod-shaped extensions 151, each of which are to be excited to perform lifting movements. These lifting movements are indicated by the individual arrows 54.
  • These stroke movements 54 are bending movements of the parts 151.
  • These parts 151 form longitudinal guides for the fuel jet 45 emerging from the nozzle opening 13.
  • the alternating stroke movements 54 which are transverse to its jet direction, lead to a jet shape as shown at 55.
  • the drive element 6 according to FIG. 6 consists of a stack of piezoelectrically excitable disks 61. These disks are provided with flat electrodes, not shown. Such stacks are known in principle and are also supplied with controlled electrical voltage in the present case. In particular, AC voltage is supplied, preferably with such a frequency that leads to resonant oscillatory movements of the lifting movement 114 of the stack or of the drive 6.
  • FIG. 7 shows a magnetostrictive embodiment 7 of a drive.
  • 71 denotes a rod which can be excited to magnetostriction movements and which is located inside a magnetic field coil 72.
  • This magnetic field coil 72 is supplied with electrical voltage, preferably again at a frequency which leads to resonance with a natural oscillation of the rod 71, which leads to a correspondingly large stroke amplitude of the stroke movement 114.
  • FIG. 8 shows a drive 8 with plunger coil 81 and pot magnet 82, as is known in principle from loudspeakers. With a corresponding electrical alternating excitation, such a device leads to mechanical stroke movements 114. Resonance excitation can also be effected here.
  • FIG. 9 shows an example of an injection nozzle according to the invention.
  • the details given for the figures described above have the same meaning in FIG. 9.
  • the actuator 91 denotes an actuator, for example a stack consisting of piezoelectric plates. By applying electrical voltage between the connections 92 and 93, this actuator changes its length and thus drives the plunger 94 and the nozzle needle 11 connected to the plunger 94.
  • the actuator 91 is used to open and close the valve by moving the valve needle 11.
  • the inflow opening of the injection nozzle for the fuel is designated by 95.
