Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tubular fuel rail, the end is closed with a plug which is inserted into the fuel rail and soldered to it.
  • the distribution of fuel to individual cylinders of an internal combustion engine is usually carried out by a tubular fuel rail, which is arranged in the vicinity of a cylinder head and is secured by means of retaining elements thereto. In the same distance as the cylinder openings are arranged on the fuel rail, in which injectors are used, which inject the fuel into the combustion chamber of the respective cylinder. At the end, the fuel rail is closed with plugs. Either the fuel feed is integrated into one of these plugs in the fuel rail or the fuel inlet takes place at another point of the fuel rail.
  • fuel is either gasoline or diesel.
  • direct injection into the combustion chamber of the respective cylinder is carried out both in diesel engines and in modern gasoline engines.
  • the operating pressures in the fuel rail differ considerably between diesel and gasoline.
  • the necessary pressure for diesel direct injection is relatively high. In a so-called common rail technology, it is about 1800 bar and rises up to 2500 bar in a so-called pump-nozzle technology.
  • the usual working pressures are around 1 to 100 bar.
  • the fuel rail must be designed for an operating pressure of 200 to 800 bar. This results in design differences in the fuel rail, depending on whether the fuel rail for a diesel engine, a gasoline engine or a gasoline engine with modern direct injection is used at relatively high pressure.
  • the DE 10 2009 029 219 A1 shows a fuel rail for a diesel engine. It is a massive fuel rail, in which all connections for the injectors are integrally formed. At the end, plugs are screwed into the fuel rail via a thread.
  • the wall thickness of the fuel rail is so strong that both a pipe wall of the fuel rail at the end inside is provided with a recess and the plug is in engagement with the recess and in the pipe wall with the return thread is introduced.
  • a similar structure of a fuel rail for diesel internal combustion engines shows the DE 101 62 203 A1 ,
  • a pipe wall of the fuel rail is provided at the inside end with a recess and a thread into which a plug is screwed.
  • Such strong wall thicknesses are not available for fuel distribution strips for gasoline, since here the entire fuel rail is due to the significantly lower operating pressures of a relatively thin-walled tube.
  • a generic fuel rail for example, from a stainless steel pipe with a wall thickness manufactured under 1 mm.
  • end plugs are soldered to the fuel rail. This design is excluded in a fuel rail for a high pressure diesel application, as it does not withstand the operating pressure of more than 1800 bar.
  • the DE 100 42 540 C1 shows a thin-walled fuel rail, which consists of an inner tube and a surrounding reinforcement.
  • the end of the inner tube is closed on one side with a stopper, on the other side a plug is arranged, in which a connecting cable is inserted.
  • the plugs are inserted into the inner tube and connected to this cohesively.
  • the just shown type is reliable.
  • the joint between plug and fuel rail is loaded with different load cases.
  • the load cases arise from a thrust force, which results from the internal pressure of the fuel on the inner surface of the plug, and from a tensile force in the joint, which is derived from the internal pressure in the tube to the inner surface of the tube. Consequently, the flow of force in the joint is deflected and thus causes increased stresses in the joint.
  • the plug in a particular embodiment on the outer peripheral side on a lying within the fuel rail groove for receiving a solder ring.
  • the approach to the stopper prevents the solder from flowing into the interior of the fuel rail.
  • the solder remains in the region of the groove and the immediately adjacent planar areas of the plug, so that it is ensured that enough solder is available for a cohesive connection of plug and fuel rail.
  • a passage for fuel is formed in the plug, with the passage preferably having at least two diameters of different sizes.
  • the plug on the outer peripheral side has a mark lying outside the fuel rail. Plug and fuel rail are designed for an operating pressure of 200 to 800 bar and are usually used for gasoline fuel.
  • FIG. 1 the fuel distributor strip (1) according to the invention with a pipe wall (2), connection sockets (3) for injectors and holders (4) for fixing to an internal combustion engine in a plan view is shown.
  • the fuel rail (1) with two different plugs (5) and (6) is closed.
  • FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the fuel rail according to the invention (1).
  • a supply of fuel through the passage (12) is possible.
  • an operating pressure of 200 to 800 bar is set in the fuel rail (1).
  • the passage (12) has different diameters, and that reduces the diameter in the direction of the fuel rail (1). This serves to throttle and calm the incoming fuel.
  • a non-illustrated pressure sensor is arranged, which monitors the pressure in the interior of the fuel rail (1).
  • the fuel is supplied via the connection sockets (3) not shown cylinders of the internal combustion engine.
  • both plugs may have a passage for fuel.
  • the plug (5) and the connection to the fuel rail (1) are shown in detail.
  • the plug (5) has a stop (13). Up to this stop (13), the plug (5) is inserted into the fuel rail (1).
  • the plug (5) has at its end a projection (7), which is located in the interior of the fuel rail (1).
  • the fuel rail (1) is in her End region has been processed so that in the pipe wall (2) of the fuel rail (1) has a recess (11) has been introduced. In this recess (11) engages the projection (7) of the plug (5).
  • the approach (7) closes flush with the pipe wall (2).
  • the inner diameter of the plug (5) consequently coincides with the inner diameter of the fuel distributor strip (1) without a recess (11).
  • the plug therefore continues the wall thickness of the fuel rail (1). This moves the joint from a relatively heavily loaded area.
  • the plug (5) is inside the fuel rail (1) on the outer peripheral side a circumferential groove (8) incorporated for a solder ring.
  • a circumferential groove (8) incorporated for a solder ring.
  • the elements essential to the invention are realized in both plugs (5, 6) and at both ends of the fuel rail (1).
  • the plugs (5, 6) are not constructed completely identical, the plug (5) on the outer peripheral side has a marking (9) located outside the fuel distributor strip.
  • the marking (9) serves a robot for distinguishing the two plugs (5) and (6), so that during assembly of the fuel rail (1) no confusion of the plug (5, 6) occurs.
  • a fuel rail according to the invention may also be closed on both sides with identical plugs both with and without passage for fuel.
  • the stress distribution at the joint or in the joint seam is a decisive criterion for the durability of the fuel rail (1).
  • Extensive strength tests have shown that a specific, in the FIGS. 4 and 5 exactly shown length ratio of an inner length L 1 of the approach (7) and an outer length L 2 at the plug (5, 14) should not be exceeded. It shows FIG. 4 the stopper off FIG. 3 increased.
  • the inner length L 1 of the attachment (7) is decisive.
  • L 1 is measured at the inside diameter of the plug (5), from a nose end (15) of the nosepiece (7) to a bottom (16) of the stopper (5).
  • L 2 is measured at the outer length of the plug (5).
  • Plug (5) has a groove (8) which receives a solder ring, not shown.
  • the groove (8) weakens the plug (5).
  • forms for the joint connection a solder surface (17) of the groove (8) to the base end (15) of the projection (7), the supporting connection. The strength of the connection results from this solder surface (17).
  • L 2 is measured from the groove (8) to the end of the neck (15). If one divides the thus determined outer length L 2 of the solder surface (17) on the plug (5) by the inner length L 1 of the projection (7), the ratio should be greater than or equal to 2, ie L 2 : L 1 ⁇ 2.
  • the plug could also be pasted with a solder.
  • a groove for receiving the solder ring is unnecessary.
  • FIG. 5 Such an embodiment is in FIG. 5 shown.
  • a soldering surface (18) extends from the stop (13) to the attachment end (15).
  • L 2 is also measured from the stop (13) to the extension end (15) of the plug (14).
  • L 1 is measured as well as the plug (5) from the approach end (15) to the bottom (16). Again, for an optimal stress ratio in the joint L 2 : L 1 ⁇ 2 applies.
  • D1 is in the FIGS. 3 to 5 the inner diameter of the fuel rail (1) without return (11) and the inner diameter of the plug (5, 6).
  • the inner diameter D1 of the plug (5, 6) in the region of the projection (7) coincides with the inner diameter D1 of the fuel rail (1) without a recess (11).
  • D2 the outer diameter of the projection (7) or the inner diameter of the pipe wall (2) of the fuel rail (1) in the region of the recess (11) is designated.
  • D3 indicates the outer diameter of the fuel rail (1).
