Definitions

  • the invention relates to an injector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such an injector is from the DE 10 2006 021 741 A1 and DE 10 2007 047 425 A1 known.
  • a control valve is provided, which releases or closes a connection from a control chamber into a fuel return via a closing element.
  • the closing element is exemplified by a magnet armature in which a pin is slidably guided, which is supported with its opposite end of the control chamber to a housing cover.
  • the valve cover end facing is provided with a radius, so that the end of the pin points punctiformly on the housing cover.
  • the radius is chosen as large as possible. This is manufacturing technology only possible with a relatively high effort.
  • the present invention seeks to further develop an injector according to the preamble of claim 1 such that at the lowest possible manufacturing expense tilting moments are avoided or reduced to the anchor or the pin to a high density and to allow a low wear of the valve seat over the entire life of the injector.
  • This object is achieved in an injector with the features of claim 1.
  • the invention is based on the idea to store the pin on the side facing the housing cover via an angle compensation element, wherein the angle compensation element has an annular contact surface formed. As a result, the surface pressure between the pin and the contact surface is kept relatively low, and at the same tilting moments are compensated or eliminated.
  • the angle compensation element facing at least one pin is formed at least substantially flat at the end portion and that the angle compensation element on the end portion of the pin facing side has a concave receptacle.
  • the receptacle is formed at least in the region of the contact surface of a spherical segment. Due to the spherical section-like design of the recording, a relatively large contact surface can be achieved, so that the surface pressure between the pin and the angle compensation element is limited. This benefits the life of the injector or wear.
  • the receptacle is frustoconical at least in the region of the contact surface. Such a design can be produced more cost-effectively compared to the spherical segment-shaped formation of the recording.
  • the end of the pin has a rounded contact edge in the region of the contact surface.
  • the radius of the contact edge is less than the corresponding radius in the region of the contact surface.
  • the invention can be used particularly preferably in an injector in which the angle between the longitudinal axis of the pin and the longitudinal axis of the angle compensation element is less than 5 °. With such a design, the wear over the life of the injector is limited. In particular, any tilting moments which may occur are compensated by the angle compensation element.
  • the angle compensation element is formed, for example, from a harder material than a valve cover, which further reduces wear.
  • the production of the valve cover is simplified.
  • the contact surfaces can be realized in the receptacle and the pin, if they are formed by grinding.
  • an injector 1 which serves for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a diesel engine.
  • the injector 1 has an injector body 10, in which a control valve 11 is arranged.
  • a control piston 12 is slidably guided, which releases during injection and lowering injection openings, not shown, in the injector body 10 and thus injects the fuel into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
  • the control valve 11 is axially fixed in a recess of the injector body 10 with the interposition of a disc 14 by means of a valve clamping screw 15.
  • the injector body 10 has an annular space 13, which is connected via one or more inlet throttles 16 to a control chamber 17 formed above the control piston 12 within the control valve 11.
  • the control chamber 17 is connected via an outlet throttle 18 with a valve chamber 20.
  • the valve chamber 20 designed as a closing element armature 22 is arranged axially displaceable, which serves to control the flow of fuel from the control chamber 17 into the valve chamber 20.
  • the valve chamber 20 is coupled via a return bore 23 with a low pressure region of the common rail system.
  • the armature 22 forms with the bottom 24 of its extension 25 on a surface of the control valve 11 a flat seat 26, so that when lifting the armature 22 of the flat seat 26 outflow of high-pressure fuel from the control chamber 17 into the valve chamber 20, and there can be done in the return bore 23.
  • the extension 25 of the armature 22 is guided in a sleeve-like extension 28 of the control valve 11.
  • a pin 30 is axially movably guided in a through hole 29, the lower, the outlet throttle 18 side facing the outlet throttle 18 covers.
  • the diameter d of the pin 30 substantially corresponds to the diameter of the seat 31 formed by the underside 24 of the armature 22.
  • the upper region of the pin 30 is surrounded outside the armature 22 by a spring element 33.
  • the spring element 33 is supported between the upper side of the armature 22 and a housing cover 34 of the injector 1 designed as a support element.
  • the spring element 33 is surrounded by a sleeve 35, which is arranged in an inner bore of a magnetic core 36. If the magnetic coil 37 is not energized, the armature 22 is pressed against the seat 31 due to the spring force of the spring element 33 and in this case closes the outlet throttle 18. When energizing the Anchor 22, however, lifts the armature 22 from the seat 31, so that a net return flow from the control chamber 17 into the return bore 23 is established.
  • Essential to the invention is the arrangement or storage of the pin 30 on its side facing away from the control chamber 17 side in the region of the housing cover 34.
  • the upper end 38 of the pin 30 is slightly reduced in diameter and disposed within an angle compensation element 40.
  • the angle compensation element 40 has a cylindrically shaped body which has a receptacle 42 on its side facing the pin 30.
  • the receptacle 42 in this case has a cylindrically shaped first region 43, which merges into a second region 44 formed in the manner of a spherical segment.
  • the end 38 of the pin 30 bears against an annular contact surface 45. Since the pin 30 with its outlet throttle 18 facing bottom is always under the high pressure of the fuel, in this case a pointing in the direction of the angle compensation element 40 axial force is generated.
  • the angle compensation element 40 rests with its flat upper side 47 against the facing surface of the housing cover 34. How to look in particular from the Fig. 3 detects, the circumferential edge 48 of the end 38 of the pin 30 has a radius r, which is smaller than the radius R, which is formed in the second region 44 of the angle compensation element 40. Preferably, both the radius r of the edge 48 and the radius R of the receptacle 42 are made by grinding.
  • a modified embodiment is shown in which the edge 48a of the end 38a has a radius r 'which is only slightly smaller than The radius R of the receptacle 42.
  • This has the advantage that when transmitting the axial force, the edge 48a over a large area to the radius R of the receptacle 42 hugs, so that the contact surface 45a increases and thus the surface pressure between the end 38a and the Shot 42 is reduced.
  • a modified angle compensation element 50 is shown, which has been modified relative to the angle compensation element 40 in the region of the second region 51 such that the second region 51 is conical.
  • a rectilinear receiving surface 52 formed in the angle compensation element 50. This results in a bearing surface 53 which is slightly reduced in relation to the angle compensation element 40.
  • the injector 1 described so far can be modified or modified in a variety of ways. So it is also conceivable, for example, instead of a one-piece pin 30 to use a plurality of longitudinally successively arranged anchor pins. Essential to the invention is only the storage of the pin in the region of the valve cover or the pin, which is arranged on the opposite side of the control chamber.
