Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a fuel injector is known from DE 198 49 210 AI, which has a tubular nozzle body on its downstream side, at the downstream end of which a sealing seat and a spray opening are arranged.
- the tubular part of the nozzle body can be inserted into a receiving bore of a cylinder head.
- the nozzle body is sealed with a seal which approximately has the geometry of a hollow cylinder.
- the nozzle body has a circumferential groove which is introduced, for example, by turning off the nozzle body and into which the seal is inserted.
- Elastic materials can be used as materials, which can be pushed over the nozzle body for assembly in the groove.
- a fuel injector is known from DE 198 08 068 AI, in which a sealing element is arranged on the nozzle body.
- the seal is made of a metallic material and expands in the radial direction under the influence of the temperature caused by the combustion process. This can be done either through a shape memory alloy or through the use of a bimetal seal.
- a groove can be used in the nozzle body for fixation.
- the metal sealing ring heats up and expands. This increases the sealing effect during operation.
- the metal gasket has a slightly smaller diameter than the location hole for the fuel injector, which is made in the cylinder head.
- a disadvantage of the sealing solution specified in DE 198 49 210 AI is primarily the high temperature acting on the seal. In particular with direct-injection internal combustion engines, full gas resistance of non-metallic sealing materials cannot be ensured.
- the fuel injector disclosed in DE 198 08 068 AI has the disadvantage that the sealing effect of the metallic seal is temperature-dependent. After a cold start of the internal combustion engine, it takes until the materials in the vicinity of the combustion chamber have heated up through the combustion process to such an extent that the temperature in the seal is reached due to the heat conduction, which leads to the required change in shape. Therefore, in addition to the seal presented, a further seal is required in order to seal the combustion chamber from the outside when the internal combustion engine starts to operate, so that no compression pressure is lost.
- Another disadvantage is the complex materials that are used in the production of temperature-dependent deforming metal seals.
- a shape memory alloy has a transition temperature that is matched to the intended use. In order to be able to guarantee this transition temperature safely, a narrow scope is usually required with regard to the manufacturing process. This increases not only the development costs for the alloy but also the costs when used in series production.
- bimetal seal requires the seal to be fixed to the nozzle body, which serves as a counter bearing during the deformation.
- assembly of the bimetal in a groove, for example, is difficult since the properties of the material change when one of the two metals undergoes a non-elastic deformation during assembly.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the characterizing feature of the main claim has the advantage that the nozzle body and a magnetic pot, in which the magnetic circuit of the fuel injector is encapsulated, are sealed from the surroundings of the fuel injector by means of a threaded labyrinth seal.
- the labyrinth seal advantageously has two to three turns, which have a radial amplitude of approximately 0.5 mm, in order to achieve a reliable sealing effect.
- Another advantage is that the labyrinth seal using a simple manufacturing process with the help of a Thread forming tool or an internal mandrel can be done without machining.
- the shape of the thread is not limited to round cross sections, but can be produced in any elliptical or oval manner.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic partial section through an embodiment of a fuel injector according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a detail from the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 of an invention
- a fuel injector 1 shown in FIG. 1 is in the form of a fuel injector 1 for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing, spark-ignition internal combustion engines.
- the fuel injection valve 1 is particularly suitable for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber (not shown) of an internal combustion engine.
- the fuel injection valve 1 comprises a sleeve-shaped nozzle body 2, in which, for example, a valve needle, not shown, can be arranged.
- fuel injector 1 is an electromagnetically actuated fuel injector 1.
- the nozzle body 2 reaches through a magnetic coil 3 which is wound on a coil carrier 4.
- the magnet coil 3 is encapsulated in a magnet pot 6, which is sealed against an environment of the fuel injection valve 1 by a labyrinth seal 5 designed according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 A detailed illustration of the labyrinth seal 5 of the fuel injection valve 1 according to the invention can be found in FIG. 2 and the following description.
- the magnet coil 3 is excited via a line (not shown further) by an electrical current that can be supplied via an electrical plug contact 7.
- the plug contact is surrounded by a plastic sheathing 8, which can be molded onto the nozzle body 2.
- FIG. 2 shows an excerpted sectional view of the area designated II in FIG. 1 of the exemplary embodiment of a fuel injector 1 designed according to the invention shown in FIG. 1.
- the solenoid 3 and the nozzle body 2 of the fuel injector 1 designed according to the invention are, as already mentioned, equipped with a labyrinth seal 5 which seals the components surrounded by the plastic casing 8 from the surroundings of the fuel injector 1 and thus protects them from e.g. B. protects dirt and salt water.
- the labyrinth seal 5 is thread-shaped and comprises at least two, better three thread grooves 9.
- a radial distance between a low point 10 of each thread groove 9 and a high point 11 of each thread groove should be at least 0.5 mm.
- the shape of the thread is arbitrary. A round thread is the easiest to manufacture, but elliptical cross sections are also conceivable.
- the labyrinth seal 5 is used to protect the area surrounded by the plastic casing 8 with the nozzle body 2 from aggressive media in the vicinity of the fuel injector 1.
- a labyrinth seal 5 designed according to the invention according to the fuel injection valve 1 allows rotary demolding of the tool producing the labyrinth seal 5, as a result of which post-processing is eliminated and the manufacturing process is simplified and thereby less cost-intensive.
- the labyrinth seal 5 can be produced, for example, by deep drawing or extrusion, the thread grooves 9 being produced by means of a thread-cutting tool.
- a thread-shaped labyrinth seal 5 can also be designed by means of round hammers or round kneading with the aid of a thread-shaped inner mandrel.
- the invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiment shown of a fuel injection valve 1 designed according to the invention and is suitable for any construction of fuel injection valves 1.
