Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injection device according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a fuel injection device known from the prior art is shown by way of example, in which a fuel injection valve installed therein is provided in a receiving bore of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine.
- intermediate elements are placed as support elements in the form of washers or the like on a shoulder of the receiving bore of the cylinder head. With the help of such intermediate elements, manufacturing and assembly tolerances are compensated and a bearing free of transverse forces is ensured even if the fuel injector is slightly inclined.
- the fuel injection device is particularly suitable for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing externally ignited internal combustion engines.
- Different types of decoupling and / or damping elements can also be used at this installation point.
- the valve housing is designed with one and the same outer diameter, facing the combustion chamber and facing away from the groove for a sealing ring serving to seal the fuel injector against the combustion chamber gases.
- US2015034742 A1 , US2015053182 A1 and EP1357284 A1 disclose fuel injectors for fuel injection systems.
- the fuel injection device with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that it allows low-noise and bending stress-reduced tilting of a fuel injection valve with the greatest possible tolerance independence.
- the fuel injector comprises at least one fuel injector and a receiving bore in a cylinder head for the fuel injector, a sealing ring being provided in a groove of a valve housing on the outer circumference of the fuel injector, which is used to seal the fuel injector from the receiving bore.
- the valve housing advantageously has a smaller outer diameter, directly facing away from the combustion chamber, from the groove for the sealing ring than the outer diameter directly facing the combustion chamber from the groove for the sealing ring.
- the outer diameter for the valve housing, directly facing away from the combustion chamber is chosen precisely so that, taking into account the most extreme tolerance design of the valve housing outer diameter and the inner diameter of the receiving hole, no metallic contact of the fuel injector is facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring on the wall of the receiving hole at the maximum possible The fuel injector is tilted.
- a sealing ring calibrated in the groove towards the front of the combustion chamber offers the advantage of avoiding the penetration of combustion chamber gases into the groove area as best as possible, since in this way no harmful dead spaces are formed in the groove area, so that in addition to the critical destructive effects, there are also undesirable pumping or suction effects are avoided.
- calibrating the sealing ring towards the front groove flank it is possible to completely dispense with an upper groove flank facing away from the combustion chamber and to continue the groove base diameter directly as the outer diameter of the valve housing facing away from the combustion chamber.
- FIG. 1 a known embodiment of a fuel injector described in more detail.
- the fuel injector 1 is part of the fuel injector.
- the downstream end of the fuel injector 1, which is designed in the form of a direct injection valve for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber 17 of the internal combustion engine, is installed in a receiving bore 20 of a cylinder head 9.
- a sealing ring 2, in particular made of Teflon TM, ensures optimal sealing of the fuel injector 1 with respect to the wall of the receiving bore 20 of the cylinder head 9.
- a flat intermediate element 24 which is designed as a support element in the form of a washer, is inserted between a shoulder 21 of a valve housing 22 and a shoulder 23 of the receiving bore 20 that extends, for example, at right angles to the longitudinal extension of the receiving bore 20.
- fuel injector 1 At its inlet end 3, fuel injector 1 has a plug-in connection to a fuel rail 4, which is sealed by a sealing ring 5 between a connector 6 of fuel distributor line 4, which is shown in section, and an inlet connector 7 of fuel injector 1.
- the fuel injector 1 is pushed into a receiving opening 12 of the connecting piece 6 of the fuel distributor line 4.
- the connecting piece 6 emerges in one piece from the actual fuel distributor line 4 and, upstream of the receiving opening 12, has a smaller-diameter flow opening 15 through which the fuel injector 1 flows.
- the fuel injector 1 has an electrical connector 8 for making electrical contact for actuating the fuel injector 1.
- a hold-down device 10 is provided between fuel injector 1 and connecting piece 6 in order to space fuel injector 1 and fuel distributor line 4 largely free of radial forces and to hold fuel injector 1 down securely in receiving bore 20 of cylinder head 9.
- the hold-down device 10 is designed as a bow-shaped component, for example as a stamped and bent part.
- the hold-down 10 has a partially annular base element 11, from which a hold-down bracket 13 extends, bent off, which is attached to a downstream end face 14 of the Connection piece 6 rests on the fuel distributor line 4 in the installed state.
- the object of the invention is to achieve improved tilting options for the fuel injector 1 in a simple manner compared to the known built-in solutions of fuel injectors intended for direct injection in receiving bores of cylinder heads, in order to be able to produce the individual components in a simplified manner that is less sensitive to tolerances and greater deviations from the alignment of the Axes of the connecting piece 6 of the fuel distributor line 4, the fuel injector 1 and the receiving bore 20 of the cylinder head 9 to be able to compensate.
- valve housing 22 of the fuel injector 1 is usually designed with one and the same outside diameter facing the combustion chamber and facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 serving to seal the fuel injector 1 against the combustion chamber gases.
- the very narrow gap between fuel injector 1 and receiving bore 20 facing the combustion chamber of sealing ring 2 is also facing away from the combustion chamber to avoid the ingress of harmful combustion chamber gases, i.e. above sealing ring 2 in its narrow gap width. Tilting of the fuel injector 1 without the valve housing 22 touching the wall of the receiving bore 20 on both sides in the area of the sealing ring 2 is thereby severely restricted.
- the fuel injection device according to the invention is characterized in that the valve housing 22 has a smaller outer diameter immediately facing away from the combustion chamber from the groove for the sealing ring 2 than the outer diameter directly facing the combustion chamber from the groove for the sealing ring 2, as in the embodiment not covered by the claimed invention the Figure 2 is shown.
- a fuel injector 1 is provided in a receiving bore 20 of a cylinder head 9 which, according to the invention, has a valve housing 22 which, due to its optimized external geometry, allows greater tilting of the fuel injector 1 in the cylinder head 9 without this Valve housing 22 makes metallic contact with the receiving bore 20 of the cylinder head 9 on both sides.
- the best installation position of the sealing ring 2 will be discussed later.
- the receiving bore 20 usually runs in the area of the groove for the sealing ring 2 and the valve housing 22 both directly facing away from the combustion chamber and facing the groove on the fuel injector 1 in a cylindrical manner with a constant inner diameter.
- the receiving bore 20 then extends further away from the combustion chamber, for example, in a conical manner in order to be able to optimally introduce the fuel injector 1, as is the case with the Figures 1 to 6 clarify.
- the radial distance between the valve housing 22 and the receiving bore 20 directly facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 is greater than the radial distance between the valve housing 22 and the Receiving bore 20 facing the groove for the sealing ring 2 directly towards the combustion chamber.
- the radial distance between the valve housing 22 and the receiving bore 20 directly facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 is ideally greater than the radial distance between the valve housing 22 and the receiving bore 20 facing the combustion chamber Groove for the sealing ring 2 over the entire length up to an edge at which the combustion chamber 17 begins.
- valve housing 22 is shown in multiple steps facing the sealing ring 2, facing the combustion chamber.
- valve housing 22 of the fuel injector 1 facing the groove for the sealing ring 2 in the outer diameter can be constant or single or multiple stepped over the entire length up to an edge at which the combustion chamber 17 begins and the outer diameter of the valve housing 22
- the groove for the sealing ring 2 directly facing away from the combustion chamber is smaller than any outer diameter of the valve housing 22 facing the groove for the sealing ring 2 up to the edge at which the combustion chamber 17 begins.
- the gap width between the valve housing 22 of the fuel injector 1 and the wall of the receiving bore 20 facing the combustion chamber of the sealing ring 2 is typically only 50 to 100 ⁇ m in order to prevent combustion chamber gases from penetrating further into the receiving bore 20.
- a typical dimension for a fuel injector 1 for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber 17 is 7.5 mm for the outside diameter in the area of the end on the injection side. For example, a tolerance of +/- 50 ⁇ m must be observed.
- the inside diameter would accordingly be a typical value of 7.65 mm with a tolerance of +/- 25 ⁇ m.
- the outer diameter of the valve housing 22 is made 1 to 10% smaller than the outer diameter directly facing the combustion chamber directly facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 the groove for the sealing ring 2.
- a specific example provides that the outer diameter of the valve housing 22 facing away from the combustion chamber is 7.3 mm in relation to the above example. In terms of tolerance, metallic contact of fuel injector 1 away from the combustion chamber of the groove for sealing ring 2 on the wall of receiving bore 20 should therefore still be avoided with the smallest receiving bore 20 and the largest valve housing 22.
- the outer diameter for the valve housing 22, directly facing away from the combustion chamber is chosen precisely so that, taking into account the most extreme tolerance design of the valve housing outer diameter and the inner diameter of the receiving bore 20, there is no metallic contact of the fuel injector 1 away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 on the wall the receiving bore 20 is present at the maximum possible tilting of the fuel injector 1.
- the outer diameter of the valve housing 22 directly facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 should be 1 to 10% smaller than each of the outer diameter of the valve housing 22 facing the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 over the entire length up to an edge at which the Combustion chamber 17 begins.
- the 10% reduction in the outer diameter In any case, it is theoretically conceivable.
- the fuel injection device is designed according to the invention in such a way that the valve housing 22, immediately facing away from the groove for the sealing ring 2, has a conically tapering outer geometry, like this, away from the groove Figure 5 with a second embodiment in a detailed view of the end on the combustion chamber side of fuel injector 1 shows.
- the conicity of the valve housing 22 is not shown true to scale, since the angle of the external geometrical slope can in reality be ⁇ 1 ° and this would not be recognizable.
- Figure 6 shows a fuel injection device not covered by the claimed invention in a third embodiment in a detailed view of the end of the fuel injection valve 1 on the combustion chamber side 22 directly facing away from the combustion chamber, so that there is no upper groove flank at all and the outer geometry of the valve housing 22 can be produced particularly easily.
- a maximum tilting of the fuel injector 1 without metallic contact facing away from the combustion chamber of the groove for the sealing ring 2 is possible without restriction.
- sealing ring 2 when the fuel injector 1 is installed, does not sit in the middle of the groove, as shown, but rather sits on the lower groove flank of the groove facing the combustion chamber.
- a sealing ring 2 calibrated all the way to the front towards the combustion chamber 17 in the groove offers the advantage of the best possible avoidance of the penetration of combustion chamber gases into the groove area, since in this way no harmful dead spaces are formed in the groove area, so that in addition to the destructive effects, undesirable pumping or Sucking effects are avoided.
- publication DE 10 2009 045 692 A1 referring to the calibration of the sealing ring 2.
