Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of the main claim.
- Known fuel injector which is actuated electromagnetically.
- the fuel injector has the usual components of an electromagnetic circuit, such as a magnetic coil, an inner pole and an outer pole.
- This known injection valve is a so-called side-feed injection valve, in which the fuel is supplied largely below the magnetic circuit.
- contact pins protrude from the fuel injector, which are overmoulded with plastic over a certain length and embedded in it. The plastic encapsulation is applied to one end of the fuel injector and is not an independent component of the injector.
- contact pins protrude from the magnetic coil to an electrical one Connector plug, which is made of plastic and partially surrounds the contact pins behind the solenoid.
- the plastic encapsulation forming the connector is sprayed onto the metal valve housing.
- Connecting both assemblies also creates an electrical and hydraulic connection.
- the two assemblies are joined using ultrasonic welding, gluing or flanging.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that it is simple to manufacture inexpensively and can be assembled safely and reliably. A great mechanical stability of the fuel injector is advantageously achieved. In addition, it is ensured that electrical connection elements are present safely and protected within the valve.
- variations in the design of the fuel injector can be made very easily. This is achieved in that two assemblies of the fuel injector, a functional part and a connecting part, are preassembled or set separately from one another.
- the functional part essentially comprises an electromagnetic circuit and a sealing valve formed from valve seat body and valve closing body.
- the electrical and hydraulic connections of the injection valve are in the connecting part intended. All of the described exemplary embodiments of the fuel injection valves have the advantage of being inexpensive to manufacture with a large number of design variants. In a large number largely identical in construction (differences, for example, in the size of the
- Valve needle lifts or the number of turns of the solenoid) manufactured functional parts can with a very large number of different connecting parts, which can vary, for example, in size and shape, in the design of the electrical connector, in the design of the lower end face of the connecting part or also in terms of their color, their marking, their Differentiate labeling or other identification, be connected.
- the logistics in the manufacture of fuel injectors are thus fundamentally simplified.
- connection part which is largely made of plastic (large extrusion pressures, heat development), are kept away from the components of the functional part which perform the important valve functions.
- the relatively dirty extrusion process can advantageously take place outside the assembly line of the functional part.
- a plurality of axially projecting segments can be provided on the connecting part at its downstream end, which after the Umspri zvorgang in the
- Protrude extrusion These segments protruding into the extrusion coating improve the heat dissipation during the encapsulation process. At the same time, the hot volume in the extrusion process is kept quite small. As a result, the cycle time of the extrusion coating can be significantly reduced. In addition, the mass accumulation within the extrusion coating is advantageously reduced. The formation of voids can thus be reduced effectively. The segments also cause turbulence in the flowing plastic. This leads to an increased strength of the entire extrusion coating.

- the electromagnetically actuatable device according to the invention which is shown in FIG. 1 by way of example and partly in simplified form Valve in the form of an injection valve for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines has a largely tubular core 2 surrounded by a magnet coil 1, serving as an inner pole and partially serving as a fuel flow.
- B surrounded ferromagnetic valve jacket 5 as an outer pole, which completely surrounds the magnet coil 1 in the circumferential direction.
- the magnet coil 1, the inner pole 2 and the outer pole 5 together form an electrically excitable actuating element.
- the actuating element can also be designed as a piezo actuator.
- the ferritic valve sleeve 6 is elongated and thin-walled and has a jacket section 12 and a bottom section 13, the jacket section 12 defining the opening 11 in the circumferential direction and the bottom section 13 in the axial direction at its downstream end.
- the opening 11 also serves as a guide opening for a valve needle 14 that is axially movable along the longitudinal axis 10 of the valve.
- valve seat body 15 is also arranged in the opening 11, which is seated, for example, on the bottom section 13 of the valve sleeve 6 and has a fixed valve seat surface 16 as a valve seat.
- the valve needle 14 is formed, for example, by a tubular anchor section 17, a likewise tubular needle section 18 and a spherical valve closing body 19, the Valve closing body 19 is fixedly connected to needle section 18, for example by means of a weld seam.
- On the downstream end of the valve seat body 15 is, for. B. in a frustoconical recess 20 a flat spray washer 21 is arranged, the fixed connection of valve seat body 15 and spray orifice plate 21 z. B.
- one or more transverse openings 22 are provided, so that fuel flowing through the armature section 17 can flow outward in an inner longitudinal bore 23 and flow along the valve closing body 19, for example along flats 24, up to the valve seat surface 16.
- the injection valve is actuated in a known manner, for example electromagnetically here. Actuation by means of a piezo actuator is also conceivable. For the axial movement of the valve needle 14 and thus for opening against the spring force of a return spring 25 engaging the valve needle 14 or closing the
- the electromagnetic circuit with the magnet coil 1, the inner core 2, the outer valve jacket 5 and the armature section 17 serves for the injection valve.
- the armature section 17 is aligned with the core 2 with the end facing away from the valve closing body 19.
- the spherical valve closing body 19 interacts with the valve seat surface 16 of the valve seat body 15 which tapers in the shape of a truncated cone and is formed in the axial direction downstream of a guide opening in the valve seat body 15.
- the spray hole disk 21 has at least one, for example four, spray openings 27 formed by eroding, laser drilling or punching.
- the insertion depth of the core 2 in the injection valve is, among other things, decisive for the stroke of the valve needle 14.
- the one end position of the valve needle 14 when the magnet coil 1 is not energized is due to the valve closing body 19 resting against the valve seat surface 16 of the valve needle
- Valve seat body 15 fixed, while the other end position of the valve needle 14 results when the magnet coil 1 is excited by the abutment of the armature section 17 at the downstream core end.
- the stroke is adjusted by axially displacing the core 2, which is subsequently firmly connected to the valve sleeve 6 in accordance with the desired position.
- an adjusting element in the form of an adjusting spring 29 is inserted in addition to the return spring 25.
- the adjusting spring 29 is used to adjust the spring preload of the return spring 25 abutting the adjusting spring 29, which in turn is supported with its opposite side on the valve needle 14, the dynamic spray quantity also being adjusted using the adjusting spring 29.
- the adjusting element can also be designed as an adjusting bolt, adjusting sleeve etc. instead of an adjusting spring.
- the injection valve described so far is characterized by its particularly compact structure, so that a very small, handy injection valve is produced.
- These components form a preassembled, independent assembly, which is referred to below as functional part 30 and is shown separately in FIG. 3 as such an assembly.
- the functional part 30 thus essentially comprises the electromagnetic circuit 1, 2, 5 and a sealing valve (valve closing body 19, valve seat body 15) with one subsequent beam processing element (spray plate 21).
- the coil space formed between the valve jacket 5 and the valve sleeve 6 and almost completely filled by the magnetic coil 1 is limited in the direction facing the valve seat body 15 by a stepped radial region 32 of the valve jacket 5, while the closure on the side facing away from the valve seat body 15 is limited by a disk-shaped cover element 33 is guaranteed.
- the coil body 3 extends through it in a recess in the cover element 33. In this area, for example, two contact pins or sockets 34 protrude from the plastic of the coil former 3 and thus from the functional part 30. The electrical contacting of the magnetic coil 1 and thus its excitation takes place via the electrical contact pins or sockets 34, which serve as electrical connecting elements.
- a second is completely independent of the functional part 30
- connector 40 Manufactured assembly, which is hereinafter referred to as connector 40.
- the independent and preassembled connecting part 40 is assembled in FIG. 1 with the functional part 30 as part of the entire injection valve and is shown separately in FIG. 2.
- Connection part 40 is characterized above all by the fact that it comprises the electrical and the hydraulic connection of the fuel injector.
- the connection part 40 which is largely designed as a plastic part, therefore has a tubular one that serves as a fuel inlet connection
- Main body 42 For example, a fuel filter 44 is inserted or pressed into a flow bore 43 of the main body 42, which runs concentrically to the longitudinal axis 10 of the valve and through which the fuel flows in the axial direction from the inflow end of the fuel injector.
- the fuel filter 44 protrudes into the Flow bore 43 of the base body 42 at its inlet end and ensures that such fuel components are filtered out, which could cause blockages or damage in the injection valve due to their size.
- connection part 40 and functional part 30 are achieved in the fully assembled fuel injector in that the flow bores 43 and 28 of both assemblies are brought together so that an unimpeded flow of fuel is ensured.
- An inner opening 46 in the cover element 33 allows the valve sleeve 6 and thus also the core 2 to be designed such that both protrude through the opening 46 and at least the valve sleeve 6 projects significantly beyond the cover element 33 in the direction of the connecting part 40.
- a lower end region 47 of the base body 42 can protrude into the projecting part of the valve sleeve 6 in order to increase the connection stability in the opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6.
- the end region 47 of the connecting part 40 is designed, for example, in a stepped manner, the base body 42 tapering strongly on the lower end face 58 from the outside diameter. Together with a lower ring collar 49, the end face 58 defines an annular groove 50 in which a sealing element, e.g. an O-shaped sealing ring 51 is arranged. Adequate sealing is thus ensured in the connection area of the two assemblies 30 and 40.
- connection part 40 two electrical contact elements 55 are provided in the connecting part 40, which are overmolded during the plastic injection molding process of the base body 42 and are subsequently embedded in the plastic.
- Base body 42 made of plastic also includes a molded-on electrical connector 56.
- the electrical contact elements 55 end at one end as exposed contact pins 57 of the electrical connector 56, which with a corresponding electrical connector, not shown, such as. B. a contact strip, can be connected for complete electrical contacting of the injection valve.
- the contact elements 55 extend to the lower end face 58 of the connecting part 40 and form an electrical connecting element 59 there, which, for. B. is also designed as an exposed contact pins.
- the electrical connecting elements 34 and 59 work together in such a way that a secure electrical connection is created, the contact pins 59, for. B. engage in the socket-like, eyelet-like, clip-like, pin-shaped or cable lug-shaped connecting elements 34 on the functional part 30. Examples of this are shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. The electrical contacting of the magnetic coil 1 and thus the excitation thereof thus take place via the electrical connector 56 and the electrical connection area 34, 59.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 show the two independent and already pre-assembled functional part 30 and connector part 40 before the final assembly of the fuel injector.
- both the functional part 30 and the connecting part 40 can each be modular in themselves, which means that certain subassemblies can be used for the simplified manufacture and assembly of the assemblies 30 and 40.
- An example of such a further modular subdivision is given below for the assemblies 30 and 40, which are not shown in the figures, however.
- a possible module separating line 64 is indicated with a dash-dot line, which is intended to show that the connector plug 56 can also be designed in a variable manner so that it can then be used on different base bodies 42.
- the hydraulic connection base body 42 with flow bore 43
- the electrical connection connector plug 56 with contact pins 57
- connection part 40 Subassemblies the described connection part 40. Corresponding electrical connecting elements are provided in the connection area for secure electrical connection of the two subassemblies, which can be designed like the electrical connecting elements 34 and 59.
- the fixed connection of the subassemblies is realized by welding, soldering, gluing or overmolding .
- the functional part 30 can also be further composed of modular subassemblies in that e.g. the
- Beam preparation element in the form of the spray orifice plate 21 is installed in a separate injection assembly for the time being, which is only subsequently integrated on the functional part 30. It is advisable to use, for example, multi-layer perforated disks, which can be a disk-shaped perforated disk carrier, produced by means of so-called multilayer electroplating in the injection assembly.
- the perforated disks can have opening contours with which very different spray patterns or a swirl application of the spray can be generated.
- the spray assembly which can be configured in many ways, can be attached, for example by means of (laser) welding, downstream of the valve seat 16 to the valve seat body 15 or to a housing part of the functional part 30.
- an inclination of the entire functional part 30, the Spray assembly with the spray orifice plate 21, for example, inclined at an angle to the longitudinal axis, can be provided as a subassembly on the functional part 30.
- the two assemblies, functional part 30 and connecting part 40 are firmly connected to one another after the corresponding preassembly in a last method step.
- the connecting part 40 is inserted into the opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6 in the functional part 30 until the end face 58 comes to a stop, for example, on the valve sleeve 6, which already results in the hydraulic connection of the two assemblies 30, 40 with the corresponding seal by the sealing ring 51 is realized on the valve sleeve 6.
- the electrical connection between the two assemblies 30, 40 is also established, since the electrical connecting elements 34 and 59 engage on both sides (FIG. 1).
- the preassembled modules 30, 40 are extrusion-coated in the connection area for the mechanical connection of the two modules 30, 40.
- the volume between the lower end face 58 of the connecting part 40 and the cover element 33 of the functional part 30 up to the outer periphery of the base body 42 or the valve jacket 5 is filled with plastic in a ring on the outer circumference of the valve sleeve 6, so that a flush to the outside
- This extrusion coating 60 reliably protects the electrical connecting elements 34, 59 from the influences of the engine compartment (dirt, fuel).
- a plastic is selected for the encapsulation 60 designed as a “belly bandage” and has a melting point at a higher temperature than the plastic used for the connecting part 40, so that a polymeric connection is established between the two plastics.
- Above the end face 58 is the outer one Circumference of the base body 42 designed as a labyrinth seal 61, in which a plurality of grooves or furrows 62 extend in a ring on the circumference of the base body 42.
- the material between the individual furrows 62 should run fairly sharply radially outwards in order to distribute heat in the latter during the encapsulation
- connection area that allows a good melting.
- the larger surface area achieved by the furrows 62 ensures that a very secure connection of the two plastics is achieved, which ensures high mechanical stability in this area and thus the entire fuel injection valve and good tightness.
- Functional part 30 improved in that at the upper end 63 of the valve jacket 5 facing the connecting part 40 e.g. several grooves are screwed in or rolled up.
- Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of a
- a fuel filter 44 ' is arranged on the functional part 30, either in addition to the fuel filter 44 already attached to the connecting part 40 or advantageously instead of the fuel filter 44 on the connecting part 40.
- the fuel filter 44' is supported, for example, on a step 66 of the valve sleeve 6 above the core 2.
- the relatively large diameter of the opening 11 of the valve sleeve 6 in the area of the step 66 permits the use of a flat filter instead of a filter (shown in FIG. 1). Basket filter.
- the screen mesh can also be curved, as can be seen from FIG. 4. It is advisable to use a metal filter mesh as the screen mesh, which has a sufficient free filter area with a mesh size of 30 ⁇ m.
- FIGS. 5 to 7 Various possibilities for establishing the electrical connection between the two components 30, 40 are shown in FIGS. 5 to 7.
- 5 shows the electrical connection area with the electrical connection elements 34, 59 in a schematic representation
- FIGS. 6A to 6C show three embodiments for contact pins 59 of the connecting part 40 corresponding to a section along the line VI-VI in FIG. 5
- FIGS. 7A to 7D four Show embodiments for contact sockets 34 of the functional part 30 corresponding to a section along the line VII-VII in FIG. 5.
- the electrical connecting elements 59 of the connecting part 40 are thus designed in the form of pins according to FIGS. 5 and 6 as contact pins 59.
- the contact pins 59 have, for example, insertion bevels 68 with which the establishment of the electrical connection with the corresponding connecting elements 34 of the functional part 30 is facilitated.
- the cross sections of the contact pins 59 can e.g. be rectangular (Figure 6A), largely square (Figure 6B) or circular ( Figure 6C).
- FIG. 7 shows examples of socket-like, eyelet-like, clip-like, cable lug-shaped, but also pin-shaped connecting elements 34. The show the
- FIG. 7A shows a conventional cable lug 70, which can grip around a contact pin 59 like a clamp. To accommodate contact pins 59 of different sizes, the cable lug 70 can be made elastic.
- FIG. 7B shows a double cable lug 71 which can be used for two different types of contact pins 59.
- FIGS. 7C and 7D show two variants of a profile connecting element 34, the connecting element 34 according to FIG. 7C as an L-profile pin 72 and that
- Connecting element 34 according to FIG. 7D are designed as a flat profile pin 73.
- the two last-mentioned variants do not enclose the contact pins 59 to be contacted, but rather there is contact by tight contact. After the electrical connection has been established, the fixation can also be supported by an additional welding point before the encapsulation 60 is applied.
- the electrical connecting elements 34 on the functional part 30 in the form of a pin, while the electrical connecting elements 59 of the connecting part 40 would then be designed more like a socket, eyelet or cable lug.
- Another possibility is to form a plug-like and socket-like connecting element 34, 59 on the functional part 30 and on the connecting part 40, which then interact with one another.
- Electrical contacting can also be achieved, for example, with CIN:: APSE® technology, in which gold-coated molybdenum wires are used as button contacts are formed like a ball. This solderless connection technology allows very reliable electrical connections to be made that are mechanically completely resonance-free.
- FIG. 8 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a connecting part 40.
- the components which remain the same or have the same effect as the exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are identified by the same reference numerals.
- the connecting part 40 according to FIG. 8 is designed in a modified manner, particularly in the region of the end region 47.
- a step 76 is provided on the end face 58, which as
- valve sleeve 6 of the functional part 30 indicated with a broken line.
- the valve sleeve 6 surrounds e.g. adjacent to stage 76 in the assembled state of the valve.
- at least one segment 77 protrudes from the connecting part 40 starting from the end face 58 in the direction of the functional part 30.
- the at least one segment 77 has an arcuate shape and, viewed in the radial direction, is formed at a distance from the step 76, but not directly on the outer circumference of the connecting part 40, at which the encapsulation 60 indicated by a two-dot line ends.
- FIG. 9 shows a bottom view of the connecting part 40 according to FIG. 8 in the direction of arrow IX. It can be seen here that three segments 77 are provided on the connecting part 40, all of which are designed in the shape of a circular arc, but for example have different extension lengths in the circumferential direction. This may be necessary due to the contact pins 59.
- the connecting part 40 all of which are designed in the shape of a circular arc, but for example have different extension lengths in the circumferential direction. This may be necessary due to the contact pins 59.
- Segments 77 are only a short distance apart. Seen in the axial direction, the segments 77, for example, still project slightly beyond the central end region 47.
- segments 77 thus extend axially from the connecting part 40 into the space of the extrusion 60 required for the fixed connection of the connecting part 40 and the functional part 30.
- the segments 77 increase the volume of the extrusion area by approx. 30% and the maximum wall thickness of the extrusion 60 by approx 50% reduced compared to the extrusion coating 60 shown in FIG.
- FIG. 8 it is indicated that the segments 77 result in an inner encapsulation area 60a and an outer encapsulation area 60b, which are filled with plastic during the encapsulation, the two encapsulation sections then created by plastic between the segments 77 and below the segments 77 with one another are connected. In this way, the segments 77 are embedded in the encapsulation 60 after the encapsulation.
- the segments 77 are arranged in such a way that there is no mass accumulation within the extrusion coating 60 and the wall thicknesses are uniform. Furthermore, it is advantageous to arrange the segments 77 in such a way that there is a strong swirling of the flowing plastic during the encapsulation process.
- Figure 10 shows another in a bottom view
- a connecting part 40 Exemplary embodiment of a connecting part 40.
- three segments 77 projecting into the later extrusion coating 60 are provided, a small segment 77 being arranged between the two contact pins 59 and the two other segments 77 each extending in a circular arc over approximately 120 °.
