Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Injektorbohrungsring.The invention relates to an injector bore ring.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, dass die Führung des Injektors mit Hilfe eines im Zylinderkopf integrierten Injektordoms (wie in der
Weiterhin ist bekannt, dass im Einsatz der Verbrennungskraftmaschine an der Bodenplatte des Zylinderkopfes hohe wechselnde Beanspruchungen durch das Aufheizen und Abkühlen des Aggregats auftreten. Die lokalen Beanspruchungen sind von der Temperaturlast des Zylinderkopfes und der Steifigkeitsverteilung innerhalb der Bodenplatte abhängig und können zu Anrissen infolge einer thermomechanischen Ermüdung (Thermo Mechanical Fatigue TMF) führen. Besonders gefährdet hinsichtlich derartiger Anrisse sind die Stegbereiche zwischen zwei Ventilen und der Bereich der Injektorbohrung.Furthermore, it is known that when the internal combustion engine is used, high alternating stresses occur on the base plate of the cylinder head due to the heating and cooling of the unit. The local stresses depend on the temperature load of the cylinder head and the stiffness distribution within the base plate and can lead to cracks due to thermomechanical fatigue (Thermo Mechanical Fatigue TMF). The web areas between two valves and the area of the injector bore are particularly at risk with regard to such cracks.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Lösung bereitzustellen, mit der die Beanspruchungen in der Injektorbohrung bzw. in den Ventilstegen gezielt beeinflusst werden können, um das Risiko von TMF-Anrissen zu minimieren.The object of the present invention is to provide a solution with which the stresses in the injector bore or in the valve webs can be influenced in a targeted manner in order to minimize the risk of TMF cracks.
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung wird durch eine Einsenkung und ein Einsetzen eines Injektorbohrungsrings (TMF-Stützring) im Bereich der Injektorbohrung des Zylinderkopfes, wie im Anspruch 1 definiert, gelöst. Die Geometrie des Ringes und die Auswahl des Werkstoffes (E-Modul, Festigkeit) und des Einpressübermaßes haben einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf den Erfolg dieser Maßnahme und sind als Auslegungsparameter jeweils individuell festzulegen, so dass sich die lokalen Beanspruchungen in dem Zylinderkopf einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine reduzieren und die thermomechanische Schädigung minimiert. An dem Zylinderkopf einer Verbrennungskraftmaschine mit direkter Kraftstoffeinspritzung wird zur Positionierung und zur Einführung des Injektors in den Brennraum eine Bohrung in der Bodenplatte des Zylinderkopfes vorgesehen.The object of the present invention is achieved by countersinking and inserting an injector bore ring (TMF support ring) in the region of the injector bore of the cylinder head, as defined in
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist vorgesehen, einen Injektorbohrungsring (TMF-Stützring) zu verwenden, der die in der Zylinderkopfbodenplatte vorgesehene Injektorbohrung umschließt und der eine gezielte Beeinflussung der lokalen Steifigkeit erlaubt.In a further advantageous development it is provided to use an injector bore ring (TMF support ring) which surrounds the injector bore provided in the cylinder head base plate and which allows the local rigidity to be influenced in a targeted manner.
An der Injektorbohrung wird hierzu eine Einsenkung gefertigt, in die dieser Ring eingesetzt und mittels Reibschluss gehalten wird (Presspassung). Eine alternative Ausgestaltung sieht vor, den Ring unmittelbar beim Gießen einzusetzen und über Formschluss mit dem Zylinderkopf zu verbinden.For this purpose, a depression is made on the injector bore, into which this ring is inserted and held by means of frictional engagement (press fit). An alternative embodiment provides for the ring to be used directly during casting and to be connected to the cylinder head via a positive fit.
Die Geometrie des Ringes, die Auswahl des Werkstoffes (E-Modul, Festigkeit) und ggf. die Wahl des Einpressübermaßes haben einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf den Erfolg dieser Maßnahme und sind als Auslegungsparameter jeweils individuell festzulegen.The geometry of the ring, the selection of the material (modulus of elasticity, strength) and, if applicable, the choice of the press-in oversize have a decisive influence on the success of this measure and are to be defined individually as design parameters.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.Further advantageous refinements are contained in the subclaims.
Um die mechanischen Beanspruchungen im Bereich der Injektorbohrung zu reduzieren, werden diese Parameter so gewählt, dass die örtlich hohe Belastung von dem Injektorbohrungsring (Stützring) getragen wird und die Zylinderkopfstruktur im Vergleich zu der Situation ohne Stützring entlastet wird. Die Lebensdauer im Bereich der Injektorbohrung wird dadurch erhöht. Werkstoff und Einpressübermaß des Ringes sind in diesem Fall so auszuwählen, dass einerseits eine ausreichende Stützwirkung erzielt wird, andererseits aber keine übermäßigen Zugspannungen in der Ringaufnahme des Zylinderkopfes entstehen, die sich wiederum kontraproduktiv auf die Betriebsfestigkeit auswirkt.In order to reduce the mechanical stresses in the area of the injector bore, these parameters are selected so that the locally high load is borne by the injector bore ring (support ring) and the Cylinder head structure is relieved compared to the situation without a support ring. This increases the service life in the area of the injector bore. In this case, the material and press fit of the ring must be selected so that on the one hand an adequate support effect is achieved, but on the other hand no excessive tensile stresses occur in the ring seat of the cylinder head, which in turn has a counterproductive effect on the operational strength.
Um die mechanischen Beanspruchungen in den Ventilstegen zu reduzieren, kann der Injektorbohrungsring in einer möglichen Ausführungsvariante als "weicher" Ring auch dazu verwendet werden, die Steifigkeit der Bodenplatte einzustellen und diese gezielt zu verringern. In diesem Fall wird die thermische Dehnungsbehinderung und die mechanische Beanspruchung der Ventilstege reduziert. Die Lebensdauer im Bereich der Ventilstege wird dadurch erhöht.In order to reduce the mechanical stresses in the valve webs, the injector bore ring can also be used in a possible embodiment variant as a "soft" ring to adjust the rigidity of the base plate and to reduce this in a targeted manner. In this case, the thermal expansion hindrance and the mechanical stress on the valve webs are reduced. This increases the service life in the area of the valve lands.
