Definitions
- the invention relates to a pressure intensifier for a Fuel injection system for internal combustion engines according to the Preamble of claim 1.
- EP 0879 954 A2 describes a pressure intensifier for a Fuel injection system known in which after the completion of a First injection into a second pressure chamber from the fuel an injector is pumped, is completely emptied. The second pressure chamber is then filled again. The beginning The filling of the second pressure chamber is placed so that the volume of the second pressure chamber of the fuel quantity to be injected on Start of injection of the next injection has been reached. I.e. the Metering a certain injection quantity is with several Inaccurate. The end of the injection is reached if a pressure relief bore in the stepped piston coincides with a low pressure connection in the control valve housing. This means that the termination of the injection is not sudden, but takes place relatively gently. So are both beginning and End of an injection with certain inaccuracies.
- the invention is based on the object Provide fuel injection system in which the on the Pressure intensifiers acting hydraulic forces are reduced and where the pressure intensifier can be controlled easily and precisely.
- higher injection pressures should be possible and at the same time the load and the drive power requirement of the injection pump be reduced.
- This pressure translator which is very simply constructed according to the invention, has the advantage that between the injections on the Step piston acting pressure forces are reduced so that the Step piston after the end of the injection after the end of the Injection regardless of the prevailing pressures with a small actuating force in its starting position on the pump side can be brought back.
- the return spring required for this requires little installation space.
- the pressure intensifier according to the invention can despite its simple Structure can be controlled very precisely because the stepped piston is too Start of each injection at a defined point, namely the pump-side stop.
- the injection is also made very precisely by the pressure intensifier Closing of the control valve ended because immediately after the Closing the control valve the pressure in the second pressure chamber suddenly collapses
- the injection quantity can be measured very precisely be what is beneficial to the operational behavior as well Emissions and fuel consumption of the internal combustion engine effect.
- the leakage and Throttle losses in the fuel injection system resulting in a Reduction of the drive power requirement leads and the hydraulic Improved fuel injection system efficiency.
- the high injection pressures enable smaller spray hole diameters the injector, which causes the mixture formation in all operating points improved.
- first end face and the ring face are essentially the same size are so that the hydraulic forces on the stepped piston between the injections are fully balanced.
- control room has a Inlet throttle hydraulically connected to the first pressure chamber stands so that a pressure equalization between first pressure chamber and control room is prevented.
- control chamber can be depressurized via a control valve, in particular a 2/2 control valve, so that the start of delivery of the pressure booster can be controlled by opening the control valve.
- the heel is detachable with connected to the stepped piston, so that manufacture and assembly be simplified.
- Another variant of the invention provides that the second Pressure chamber is filled from the leak oil return, and that between a check valve is arranged in the second pressure chamber and leakage oil return is that the return flow of fuel from the second pressure chamber to Leak oil return locks, so that the filling is easy and between injections only a low pressure in the second Pressure room prevails.
- the pressure in Leakage oil return is lower than the opening pressure of the injection nozzle, so the injector is safe between injections closes.
- the stepped piston is Simplification of manufacture and assembly carried out in two parts.
- An embodiment of the invention provides that the tax amount of Control valve is discharged into the drain oil return, so that a simple hydraulic circuit is achieved.
- control piston in a sleeve is guided so that the guide of the stepped piston is improved.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a fuel injection system with an injector 1 and an injection pump 3, the one High pressure part 5 has.
- the high pressure part 5 is over a control line 9 and a high pressure path 10 with the Injector 1 in operative connection.
- a Pressure intensifier arranged between the Control line 9 and the high pressure path 10 .
- the pressure intensifier 11 has in a housing 12 a first pressure chamber 13, a second pressure chamber 15, a one- or multi-part stepped piston 17, which in a Bore 18 is guided, and a control room 19.
- the first pressure chamber 13 and the end face of the stepped piston 17 with the diameter d 1 projecting into the first pressure chamber 13 form the low-pressure side of the pressure booster 11.
- the second pressure chamber 15 and the end face of the stepped piston 17 with the diameter d projecting into the second pressure chamber 15 3 form the high pressure side of the pressure intensifier 11.
- the control chamber 19 is an annular surface 20 of the Step piston 17 and a paragraph in the housing 12 of the Pressure intensifier 11 limited in the longitudinal direction.
- a 2/2-way control valve 21 connected to the control chamber 19 is closed between the injections.
- First pressure chamber 13 and control chamber 19 are connected by a connecting line 23, which has an inlet throttle 25, so that when control valve 21 is closed, the same pressure prevails in rooms 13 and 19.
- a slight overcompensation of the hydraulic force acting on the end face of the stepped piston 17 can be advantageous.
- the injection is triggered by the control valve 21 is opened.
- the one located in the control room 19 Fuel flows through the control valve 21 into one Leak oil return 27.
- the inlet throttle 25 causes at open control valve 21 the pressure in the control chamber 19 under that of the first pressure chamber 13 drops. As a result, the Force balance between that in the first pressure chamber 13 projecting end face of the stepped piston 17 and the Annular surface 20 no longer exist.
- the stepped piston 17 begins to promote.
- the second pressure chamber 15 is with a leakage oil pressure acted upon supply line 31 filled.
- a check valve 33 arranged in this Supply line 31 .
- the check valve 27 can be spring-loaded, such as shown in Fig. 2, or without a spring and prevents the backflow of fuel during the Injection.
- the leakage oil pressure is below the Injector opening pressure 1.
- the stepped piston 17 is guided with its diameter d 1 of a sleeve 35th
- the sleeve 35 is fixed radially in the housing 12.
- a shoulder 37 of the housing 12 and a plate spring 39 ensure the fixing of the sleeve 35.
- the housing 12 can be divided along the shoulder 37 in order to facilitate the manufacture and assembly of the pressure intensifier 11 according to the invention.
- the plate spring 39 prevents the stepped piston 17 from sitting “hard” on its pump-side stop.
- the return spring 29 is between the sleeve 35 and one Paragraph 41 of the stepped piston 17 clamped. 2 is an embodiment shown in which the paragraph 41 in the stepped piston 17 is screwed in. However, there are also other embodiments are conceivable.
