Eine Düse gemäß dem ersten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung weist dabei einen Düsenkörper auf, in welchen rückseitig ein Sackloch oder Sitzloch eingebracht ist, wobei von dem Sackloch oder dem Sitzloch aus mindestens ein Spritzloch ausgeht. Dabei ist vorgesehen, dass das Spritzloch im Bereich des Spritzlocheintritts einen nicht-runden Querschnitt aufweist. Der nicht-runde Querschnitt erlaubt dabei eine gezielte Ausrichtung der auf das Spritzloch und den Düsenkörper wirkenden Kräfte. Bei dem Spritzlocheintritt handelt es sich dabei um das dem Sackloch oder dem Sitzloch zugewandte Ende des Spritzlochs, durch welches ein durch die Düse hindurchfließendes Fluid von dem Sackloch oder Sitzloch in das Spritzloch eintritt.A nozzle according to the first aspect of the present invention has a nozzle body, in which a blind hole or seat hole is introduced at the rear, wherein at least one injection hole originates from the blind hole or the seat hole. It is provided that the injection hole in the region of the injection hole inlet has a non-circular cross-section. The non-round cross section allows a targeted alignment of the forces acting on the spray hole and the nozzle body forces. In the injection hole entry is this the blind hole or the seat hole facing the end of the injection hole through which a fluid flowing through the nozzle from the blind hole or seat hole enters the injection hole.
Vorteilhafterweise weist das Spritzloch dabei im Bereich des Spritzlocheintritts einen Querschnitt mit einer längeren und einer kürzeren Symmetrieachse auf, z.B. einen ovalen Querschnitt. Vorteilhafterweise handelt es sich um einen elliptischen Querschnitt.Advantageously, the injection hole has a cross section with a longer and a shorter axis of symmetry in the region of the injection hole entry, e.g. an oval cross-section. Advantageously, it is an elliptical cross section.
Weiterhin vorteilhafterweise weist das Spritzloch im Bereich des Spritzlochaustritts einen kreisförmigen Querschnitt auf. Hierdurch wird der übliche Strahlkonus des die Düse verlassenden Strahls erhalten. Bei dem Spritzlochaustritt handelt es sich dabei um das dem Sackloch oder Sitzloch abgewandte Ende des Spritzlochs, durch welches ein durch die Düse hindurchfließendes Fluid aus dem Spritzloch austritt.Further advantageously, the injection hole in the region of the injection hole outlet on a circular cross-section. As a result, the usual beam cone of the jet leaving the nozzle is obtained. The injection hole outlet is the end of the injection hole remote from the blind hole or seat hole, through which a fluid flowing through the nozzle exits from the injection hole.
Vorteilhafterweise wird der erste Aspekt in der vorliegenden Erfindung dabei bei Düsen eingesetzt, welche mehrere Spritzlöcher aufweisen, welche vom Sackloch oder Sitzloch ausgehen, wobei mehrere oder alle der Spritzlöcher im Bereich des Spritzlocheintritts einen nicht-runden Querschnitt aufweisen.Advantageously, the first aspect is used in the present invention in nozzles having a plurality of injection holes, which emanate from the blind hole or seat hole, wherein several or all of the injection holes in the region of the injection hole inlet have a non-circular cross-section.
Vorteilhafterweise weisen die nicht-runden Querschnitte aller Sacklöcher dabei die gleiche Ausrichtung bezüglich der Längsachse des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs oder Sitzlochs auf. Insbesondere sind dabei die kurzen bzw. langen Symmetrieachsen aller Spritzlöcher in Bezug auf die Längsachse des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs oder Sitzlochs alle in gleicher Weise ausgerichtet.Advantageously, the non-circular cross-sections of all blind holes have the same orientation with respect to the longitudinal axis of the blind hole or the seat hole or seat hole.

Durch die nicht-runde Form des Spritzlocheintritts läßt sich die längere Achse des Spritzlocheintritts entsprechend der wirkenden Spannung im Düsenkörper ausrichten, wobei der Querschnitt des Spritzlochs den geforderten Mindestquerschnitt nicht unterschreitet.Due to the non-round shape of the injection hole entry, the longer axis of the injection hole inlet can be aligned according to the acting stress in the nozzle body, wherein the cross section of the injection hole does not fall below the required minimum cross-section.
Bei dominierender Umfangsspannung im Sackloch oder Sitzloch wird dabei die längere Achse horizontal angeordnet, d. h. in eine Ebene senkrecht zur Längsachse des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs oder Sitzlochs. Hierdurch entsteht in Belastungsrichtung eine geringere Kerbwirkung als beim Kreisquerschnitt. Bei dominierender Axialspannung im Sackloch oder Sitzloch wird die längere Achse des Spritzlocheintritts dagegen vertikal angeordnet, d. h. jeweils in einer Ebene, welche parallel zur Längsachse des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs oder Sitzlochs verläuft. Auch durch diese Anordnung kann in Belastungsrichtung eine geringere Kerbwirkung erzielt werden als bei der Verwendung eines Kreisquerschnitts für den Spritzlocheintritt.At dominating hoop stress in the blind hole or seat hole while the longer axis is arranged horizontally, d. H. in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the blind hole or the seat hole or seat hole. This creates a lower notch effect in the direction of loading than in the circular cross section. At dominant axial stress in the blind hole or seat hole, however, the longer axis of the injection hole entry is arranged vertically, d. H. each in a plane which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the blind hole or the seat hole or seat hole.

Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Spritzlöcher in Bezug auf die Sacklochachse auf gleicher Höhe angeordnet sind.

Eine Düse gemäß einem dritten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung weist einen Düsenkörper auf, in welchem rückseitig ein Sackloch oder Sitzloch eingebracht ist, wobei von dem Sackloch oder Sitzloch mindestens ein Spritzloch ausgeht. Erfindungsgemäß ist dabei vorgesehen, daß das Spritzloch am Spritzlochaustritt durch eine Senkung erweitert ist. Diese ermöglicht es, die Wandstärke entlang der Spritzlochachse zu erhöhen, ohne die Spritzlochlänge zu vergrößern. Auch dies führt zu einer erhöhten Dauerfestigkeit insbesondere im Spritzlocheintritt.A nozzle according to a third aspect of the present invention comprises a nozzle body in which a blind hole or seat hole is introduced at the rear, wherein at least one injection hole originates from the blind hole or seat hole. According to the invention it is provided that the injection hole is enlarged at the injection hole exit by a reduction. This makes it possible to increase the wall thickness along the injection hole axis, without increasing the spray hole length. This also leads to an increased fatigue strength, especially in the injection hole inlet.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Senkung dabei rotationssymmetrisch zur Spritzlochachse ausgeführt. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Senkung dabei im Wesentlichen U-förmig, so daß sie die Geometrie des das Spritzloch verlassenden Strahlkonuses weniger beeinflußt.Advantageously, the reduction is carried out rotationally symmetrical to the injection hole axis. Particularly advantageously, the countersinking is essentially U-shaped, so that it less influences the geometry of the jet cone leaving the injection hole.

Wie bereits oben beschrieben, handelt es sich bei der Düse insbesondere um eine Kraftstoffinjektordüse zum Einspritzen von Kraftstoff in einem Verbrennungsmotor.

Die drei Aspekte der vorliegenden Erfindung werden im Folgenden der besseren Übersicht halber jeweils einzeln anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben. Besonders bevorzugt werden jedoch zwei der Aspekte oder alle drei Aspekte miteinander kombiniert.The three aspects of the present invention are described below for better clarity in each case individually with reference to exemplary embodiments. More preferably, however, two of the aspects or all three aspects are combined.
Alle Ausführungsbeispiele der vorliegenden Erfindung zeigen eine Düse mit einem Düsenkörper 5, in welchem rückseitig ein Sackloch oder Sitzloch 1 eingebracht ist. Von dem Sackloch oder Sitzloch 1 verlaufen dabei mehrere Spritzlöcher 2 nach außen. Die Spritzlöcher 2 sind dabei mit ihren Spritzlocheintritten 3 dem Sackloch oder Sitzloch zugewandt, während die Spritzlochaustritte 4 zur Außenseite des Düsenkörpers 5 weisen.All embodiments of the present invention show a nozzle with a
Der Düsenkörper 5 weist dabei im Bereich des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs 1 eine Erhebung auf, in welche das Sackloch oder Sitzloch eingebracht ist. Die Erhebung 5 hat dabei im Bereich des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs 1 im Wesentlichen eine Kuppelform. Sowohl die Erhebung 5 als auch das Sackloch oder Sitzloch 1 sind im Ausführungsbeispiel rotationssymmetrisch.The
Die Spritzlöcher 2 verlaufen dabei von den Seitenwänden des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs 1 radial nach außen zum Umfangsbereich des Düsenkörpers 5. Die Längsachsen der Spritzlöcher 2 weisen in Höhenrichtung einen spitzen Winkel zur Längsachse des Sacklochs oder des Sitzlochs 1 bzw. des Düsenkörpers 5 auf. Die Spritzlöcher 2 sind in Umfangsrichtung gleichmäßig um das Sackloch oder Sitzloch 1 angeordnet.The injection holes 2 extend from the side walls of the blind hole or the

Neben den Düsen selbst umfaßt die vorliegende Erfindung weiterhin ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Düse gemäß dem ersten Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung. Bei der Fertigung der Spritzlöcher wird dabei ein Erodierdraht eingesetzt, welcher durch eine passende Steuerung eine definierte Bahn im Raum abfährt und hierdurch den nicht-runden Querschnitt der Spritzlöcher im Eintrittsbereich 3 sowie den runden Querschnitt im Austrittsbereich 4 zur Verfügung stellt. Hierfür wird eine Erodiermaschine eingesetzt, bei welcher die Bahn nicht nur in einer Ebene beliebig gewählt werden kann, sondern auch in der Tiefe.Besides the nozzles themselves, the present invention further includes a method of manufacturing a nozzle according to the first aspect of the present invention. In the manufacture of the injection holes, an erosion wire is used, which moves through a suitable control a defined path in space and thereby provides the non-circular cross section of the injection holes in the
Die vorliegende Erfindung erhöht durch alle drei Aspekte die Dauersicherheit der Düsen im Bereich der Bohrungsverschneidung von Sackloch oder Sitzloch zu Spritzloch, ohne einen wesentlichen Einfluß auf die Geometrie des Strahlkonusses zu haben. Insbesondere wird die Düse dabei als Kraftstoffeinspritzdüse eingesetzt.The present invention, through all three aspects, increases the reliability of the nozzles in the area of bore intersection of blind hole or seat hole to injection hole without having a significant influence on the geometry of the jet cone. In particular, the nozzle is used as a fuel injection nozzle.
