Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetically actuated fuel metering and atomising valve, intended to be fitted to the fuel supply device of an internal combustion engine.
  • valves of the above type include a main body internally housing an annular electromagnet, a core and a movable valve shutter element.
  • the electromagnet consists of a support former and an electrical winding.
  • a main disadvantage lies in the fact that the former and the main body are not directly fixed to each other, but are fixed indirectly by connection between the various fixed components of the valve. It is clear that clearances may exist between the former and the main body, which clearances could increase over time making the position of the electrical winding unstable relative to the axial air gap of the magnetic circuit defined in the valve. It is clear that this instability affects the axial component of the magnetic force controlling the stroke of the valve shutter element, meaning that for each similar command to the electromagnet the time taken for the valve shutter member to complete its stroke could be different. In addition, this clearance could compromise the fluid-tight seal of the valve as the seals would age prematurely as a result of the extra stress (vibration of the various elements) to which they were subjected.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an electromagnetically operated fuel metering and atomising valve free from the above disadvantages, that is to say one provided with a system which prevents clearances from forming and at the same time provides a reliable fluid-tight seal.
  • An electromagnetically actuated fuel metering and atomising valve intended to be fitted in a fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine, comprising:
  • a magnetically actuated fuel metering and atomising valve is intended to be fitted in the fuel supply device of an internal combustion engine.
  • the valve 1 comprises:
  • the former 4 is constituted by two tubular parts 4a and 4b, securely fixed one within the other and made of plastics material, defining within them the seat for the winding 5.
  • a body 17 extends obliquely upwards from an upper area of the outermost section 4b and constitutes an electrical connector as it houses blade-like pins 18 through which the winding 5 is supplied.
  • a wall 19 extends upwardly from an upper area of the section 4b, in a position diametrically opposite the body 17.
  • An annular recess 21 is formed in the inner surface of the upper end of the inner part 4a of the former 4 to house an annular seal 22 which is compressed radially by the portion 7 of the body 6.
  • the seat for the seal 22 is closed at the top by an annular shoulder 23 formed in the body 6.
  • the part 4a of the former 4 has an annular base wall from which an annular pressure foot 24 extends downwardly.
  • two small part-annular grooves 25 are formed in the outer surface of the part 4b.
  • one groove 25 is formed just beneath the lower end of the wall 19 and the other groove 25 is formed just beneath the lower end of the body 17.
  • the portion 7 of the body 6 is installed within the former 4 and contains an annular pin 26 the function of which is to engage against a coil spring 27 arranged fitted betwen the pin 26 and the valve shutter member 8 which is defined by a small plate.
  • the body 2 comprises:
  • the former 4 is housed in the portion 32, and the annular base wall of the part 4a of the former 4 and the wall 33 define between them an annular seat in which is fitted an annular seal 29 which is compressed axially by the part 4a.
  • the seat for the seal 29 is closed on the inside by the annular foot 24.
  • the seal 29 is first placed on the wall 33 then the former 4 is fitted into the portion 32 of the body 2, taking care to orientate the former 4 in such a way that the wall 19 and the body 17 are in correspondence with a respective notch 34.
  • the former 4 is then pressed against the wall 33 so as to compress the seal 29 in such a way that the tongues 36 are moved into correspondence with respective grooves 25.
  • the invention provides a valve which is simple to manufacture and easy to assemble; it can be assembled with the use of automated machinery.
  • the main advantage of the valve according to the present invention lies in having provided axial interlock between the valve casing and the electromagnet. This interlock enables the position of the electrical winding to be kept stable relative to the wall 33 and thus relative to the airgap of the magnetic circuit, this airgap being defined between the portion 7 of the body 6 and the armature 2.
  • the seal 29 in addition to its role in providing an axial, and therefore particularly effective, fluid-tight seal, the seal 29 also acts as an axial spring, maintaining constant the pressure of the bottom of the grooves 25 against the lower edge of the tongues 36.
  • the locking system between the casing and the electromagnet enables the size of the valve 1 to be kept compact.
  • interlocking system between the casing and the electromagnet may also be applied to valves which provide for the fuel to enter a central area.
  • this locking system may be made differently from the way described above.
