Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftstoffinjektor nach dem Oberbegriff desThe invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of
Ein derartiger Kraftstoffinjektor ist aus der

Die Tendenz bei Kraftstoffeinspitzsystemen geht aus Gründen der Effizienz und Schadstoffbelastung mehr und mehr zu hohen Systemdrücken. Die damit einhergehenden höheren Leistungsdichten im befeuerten als auch im gebremsten Betrieb führen dazu, dass der dem Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine zugewandte Endbereich des Kraftstoffinjektors thermisch stärker belastet wird. In diesem Endbereich ist an der Innenseite des Injektorgehäuses der für die Funktion wichtige Sitzbereich zwischen dem Düsenkörper und der Düsennadel angeordnet. Die Tendenz zu den angesprochenen höheren Systemdrücken und damit höheren Temperaturen im Endbereich des Kraftstoffinjektors führt tendenziell zu einer zunehmenden thermisch-mechanischen Belastung des Kraftstoffinjektors im Endbereich. Wünschenswert sind daher Maßnahmen, die die Temperatursteigerung im Injektorendbereich (gemeint ist hierbei der Bereich, der auf der dem Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine zugewandten Seite angeordnet ist) begrenzt bzw. ein möglichst guter Wärmeübergang von dem Injektorendbereich auf den Zylinderblock ermöglicht wird. Hierzu ist es auch wichtig zu wissen, dass der in der Aufnahmebohrung des Zylinderkopfs angeordnete, dem Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine zugewandte Bereich des Kraftstoffinjektors mit radialem Abstand in der Aufnahmebohrung angeordnet ist, so dass eine Wärmeübertragung durch eine direkte Anlage dieses Bereichs üblicherweise nicht möglich ist. Der Wärmefluss findet daher bei den aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kraftstoffinjektoren von dem Injektorendbereich über einen Teilbereich der Länge des Injektorgehäuses bis in den Sitz- bzw. Auflagebereich im stufenbohrungsförmigen Abschnitt der Aufnahmebohrung statt, wo der Kraftstoffinjektor axial, üblicherweise unter Zwischenlage eines metallischen Dichtelements, mit dem Zylinderkopf verspannt ist.The tendency of Kraftstoffeinspitzsystemen is for reasons of efficiency and pollution more and more to high system pressures. The associated higher power densities in the fired as well as in the braked operation lead to the combustion chamber of the engine facing end portion of the fuel injector is thermally stressed more. In this end region of the important for the function seat between the nozzle body and the nozzle needle is arranged on the inside of the injector. The tendency to the mentioned higher system pressures and thus higher temperatures in the end region of the fuel injector tends to lead to an increasing thermal-mechanical load of the fuel injector in the end region. It is therefore desirable to have measures which limit the increase in temperature in the injector end region (meaning in this case the region which is arranged on the side facing the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine) or allow the best possible heat transfer from the injector end region to the cylinder block. For this purpose, it is also important to know that arranged in the receiving bore of the cylinder head, the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine facing the fuel injector is arranged at a radial distance in the receiving bore, so that a heat transfer by a direct investment of this area is usually not possible. The heat flow therefore takes place in the known from the prior art fuel injectors from the Injektorendbereich over a portion of the length of the injector to the seat or support area in the stepped bore-shaped portion of the receiving bore, where the fuel injector axially, usually with the interposition of a metallic sealing element, is braced with the cylinder head.
Ausgehend von dem dargestellten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Kraftstoffinjektor nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 derart weiterzubilden, dass eine verringerte Temperaturbelastung des dem Brennraum zugewandten Injektorendbereichs ermöglicht wird. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem Kraftstoffinjektor mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 dadurch gelöst, dass ein dem Brennraum zugewandtes erstes Dichtelement axial zwischen dem Injektorgehäuse und einer zweiten Anlagefläche der Aufnahmeöffnung spannbar ist und dazu ausgebildet ist, den ringförmigen Bereich zwischen dem Injektorgehäuse und der Aufnahmebohrung auf der dem ersten Bereich des Injektorgehäuses abgewandten Seite des ersten Dichtelements abzudichten. Eine derartige Ausbildung ermöglicht in der allgemeinsten Form der Erfindung eine thermische Abschattung des ringförmigen Bereichs zwischen dem Injektorgehäuse und der Aufnahmebohrung im Zylinderkopf auf der dem Brennraum abgewandten Seite des ersten Dichtelements. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass die im Brennraum entstehenden Verbrennungsgase mit ihren relativ hohen Temperaturen in axialer Richtung bis in den Sitzbereich des Kraftstoffinjektors in der Aufnahmebohrung gelangen. Dadurch wird wiederum die thermische Belastung des für die Wärmeleitung zum zweiten Dichtelement maßgeblichen Bereichs des Injektorgehäuses reduziert, wodurch eine verbesserte Wärmeableitung des dem Brennraum zugewandten, insbesondere kuppenförmigen Endbereichs des Injektorgehäuses zur ersten Sitzfläche der Aufnahmeöffnung ermöglicht wird. Diese Abdichtung wird über die zweite Sitzfläche der Aufnahmeöffnung ermöglicht, die in der Einbauposition des Kraftstoffinjektors im direkten Anlagekontakt zum ersten Dichtelement angeordnet ist und somit den ringförmigen Bereich oberhalb des ersten Dichtelements abdichtet. Außerdem sind die beiden Dichtelemente an einem Bauteil in Form einer aus Metall bestehenden Dichthülse ausgebildet, sodass die Dichthülse auf der dem Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine zugewandten Stirnseite einen konisch ausgebildeten ersten Dichtbereich als erstes Dichtelement aufweist, während der flanschförmig umlaufende Rand an der anderen Stirnseite der Dichthülse einen zweiten Dichtbereich bzw. ein zweites Dichtelement ausbildet. Eine derartige Ausbildung ermöglicht eine besonders einfache und sichere Montage des Kraftstoffinjektors.Based on the illustrated prior art, the invention has the object, a fuel injector according to the preamble of claim 1 such that a reduced temperature load of the combustion chamber facing Injektorendbereichs is made possible. This object is achieved with a fuel injector with the features of Claim 1 achieved in that a combustion chamber facing the first sealing member axially between the injector and a second bearing surface of the receiving opening is tensioned and adapted to the annular region between the injector and the receiving bore on the first region of the injector facing away from the first sealing element seal. Such a design allows in the most general form of the invention, a thermal shading of the annular region between the injector and the receiving bore in the cylinder head on the side facing away from the combustion chamber of the first sealing element. This prevents that the resulting combustion gases in the combustion chamber with their relatively high temperatures in the axial direction reach into the seating area of the fuel injector in the receiving bore. This in turn reduces the thermal load on the area of the injector housing which is decisive for the heat conduction to the second sealing element, thereby enabling improved heat dissipation of the combustion chamber facing, in particular dome-shaped end region of the injector housing to the first seat surface of the receiving opening. This sealing is made possible via the second seat surface of the receiving opening, which is arranged in the installation position of the fuel injector in direct contact with the first sealing element and thus seals the annular area above the first sealing element. In addition, the two sealing elements are formed on a component in the form of a sealing sleeve made of metal, so that the sealing sleeve on the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine facing end side has a conical first sealing region as a first sealing element, while the flange peripheral edge on the other end face of the sealing sleeve a second sealing area or a second sealing element is formed. Such a design allows a particularly simple and secure installation of the fuel injector.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des erfindungsgemäßen Kraftstoffinjektors sind in den Unteransprüchen aufgeführt.Advantageous developments of the fuel injector according to the invention are listed in the subclaims.
Bei der Ausbildung der beiden Dichtelemente in Form einer Dichthülse ist es in konstruktiv bevorzugter Ausgestaltung vorgesehen, dass das erste Dichtelement als konisch ausgebildeter Wandabschnitt der Dichthülse ausgebildet ist. Eine derartige Ausbildung ermöglicht eine großflächige Abdichtung des oberhalb des ersten Dichtelements ausgebildeten ringförmigen Raums zwischen der Dichthülse und der Aufnahmeöffnung im Zylinderkopf. Insbesondere ist es vorgesehen, dass der Wandabschnitt auf der dem Brennraum zugewandten Seite des Zylinderkopfs einen Endbereich der Dichthülse ausbildet.In the design of the two sealing elements in the form of a sealing sleeve, it is provided in a structurally preferred embodiment, that the first sealing element is formed as a conical wall portion of the sealing sleeve. Such a design allows a large-area sealing of the above the first sealing element formed annular space between the Sealing sleeve and the receiving opening in the cylinder head. In particular, it is provided that the wall section forms an end region of the sealing sleeve on the side of the cylinder head facing the combustion chamber.
Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung, die eine besonders einfache Montage bzw. unkritische Bauteiletolerierung hinsichtlich der Dimensionierung der Dichthülse sowie eine gute Wärmeübertragung vom Injektorgehäuse in den Zylinderkopf ermöglicht, sieht vor, dass die Dichthülse mit Ausnahme im Bereich des ersten Dichtelements mit radialem Abstand zum Injektorgehäuse angeordnet ist und einen derartigen Durchmesser aufweist, dass die Dichthülse in wärmeleitendem Kontakt zur Aufnahmeöffnung positionierbar ist.A further preferred embodiment of the invention, which allows a particularly simple assembly or uncritical component tolerance with respect to the dimensioning of the sealing sleeve and a good heat transfer from the injector into the cylinder head, provides that the sealing sleeve except in the region of the first sealing element with a radial distance to the injector is arranged and has a diameter such that the sealing sleeve is positionable in heat-conducting contact with the receiving opening.

Der Dichtring 23 umfasst den zweiten Bereich 17 des Injektorgehäuses 15 vorzugsweise mit lediglich geringem radialen Spiel und weist einen Außendurchmesser auf, der im Wesentlichen dem Außendurchmesser des dritten Bereichs 18 des Injektorgehäuses 15 angepasst ist. Der Dichtring 23 dient einerseits der Positionierung des Kraftstoffinjektors 10 in der Aufnahmebohrung 101 des Zylinderkopfs 100, und andererseits der thermischen Kopplung bzw. Anbindung des Injektorgehäuses 15 an den Zylinderkopf 100. Hierzu ist der Dichtring 23 bevorzugt aus einem gut wärmeleitenden Material, zum Beispiel aus Kupfer, ausgebildet.The
Im Übergangsbereich zwischen den beiden Bereichen 16 und 17 des Injektorgehäuses 15 ist eine Dichtung 25 in Form eines Kunststoffdichtrings, z.B. aus Viton bestehend, angeordnet. Die Dichtung 25 ist axial zwischen dem zweiten Bereich 17 des Injektorgehäuses 15 und der ersten Anlagefläche 105 in der Aufnahmebohrung 101 mit vorzugsweise lediglich relativ geringem radialen Spiel in der Aufnahmebohrung 101 angeordnet und über die Düsenspannmutter 22 derart axial in Richtung der Längsachse 11 des Kraftstoffinjektors 10 kraftbeaufschlagt, dass eine Abdichtung der Aufnahmebohrung 101 auf der dem Brennraum abgewandten Seite der Dichtung 25 ermöglicht wird. Beim axialen Verspannen der Dichtung 25 weitet diese sich auch radial auf, so dass in Abhängigkeit von der Durchmesser der Dichtung 25 und der Aufnahmebohrung 101 zusätzlich ggf. eine radiale Abdichtung zwischen der Dichtung 25 und der Aufnahmebohrung 101 ausgebildet sein kann. Die Durchmesser zwischen dem ersten Bereich 16 und dem ersten Bohrungsabschnitt 102 der Aufnahmebohrung 101 sind derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass zwischen dem ersten Bereich 16 und dem ersten Bohrungsabschnitt 102 ein erster Radialspalt 27 ausgebildet ist. Weiterhin sind die Durchmesser des zweiten Bereichs 17 des Injektorgehäuses 15 und des zweiten Bohrungsabschnitts 103 der Aufnahmebohrung 101 derart aufeinander abgestimmt, dass zwischen dem zweiten Bereich 17 und dem zweiten Bohrungsabschnitt 103 ein zweiter Radialspalt 28 ausgebildet ist.In the transition region between the two
Die Dichtung 25 hat neben ihrer Funktion der Abdichtung des zweiten Radialspalts 28 zum Brennraum der Brennkraftmaschine hin ggf. die Funktion der Positionierung bzw. Zentrierung des Kraftstoffinjektors 10 in der Aufnahmebohrung 101.The
Beim Betrieb des Kraftstoffinjektors 10 wird insbesondere die Düsenkuppe 19 bzw. der erste Bereich 16 des Injektorgehäuses 15 aufgrund seiner Nähe zum Brennraum thermisch stark beansprucht, d.h., dass der erste Bereich 16 gegenüber den anderen Bereichen 17, 18 des Injektorgehäuses 15 eine erhöhte Temperatur aufweist. Durch die Pfeile 29 und 30 ist der Wärmefluss von der Düsenkuppe 19 in den Bereich des Zylinderkopfs 100 dargestellt. Insbesondere erkennt man, dass, verursacht durch die beiden Radialspalte 27 und 28, der Wärmeübergang von dem ersten Bereich 16 des Injektorgehäuses 15 lediglich über den zweiten Bereich 17 und den dritten Bereich 18 bzw. über die Düsenspannmutter 22 und den Dichtring 23 in den Zylinderkopf 100 erfolgt.In particular, during operation of the
