Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




1. Field of the Invention




The current invention directed to an improved fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine.




2. Description of the Prior Art




A fuel injection device known from DE 28 08 731 C2 includes a fuel injection valve, which has an injection valve member that is guided so that it can slide in a bore of a valve body and control at least one injection opening. The pressure prevailing in a pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve can move the injection valve member in an opening direction, counter to the force of a closing spring disposed in a spring chamber, in order to unblock the at least one injection opening. A predetermined pressure is maintained in the spring chamber and this spring chamber can, for example, be connected to a low-pressure region. In order to initiate fuel injection, highly pressurized fuel is supplied to the pressure chamber of a fuel injection valve from a high pressure source. An electrically controlled valve at least indirectly controls a connection from the pressure chamber or the high pressure source to a relief chamber. In order to terminate the fuel injection, the valve opens the connection to the relief chamber so that the pressure in the pressure chamber decreases and the fuel injection valve closes. The pressure in the pressure chamber decreases very sharply so that in some circumstances, it falls below the vapor pressure of the fuel so that cavitation occurs. This creates intense wear and loud noise, which are to be avoided.




OBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The fuel injection device according to the invention has the advantage over the prior art that a check valve permits a pressure compensation between the pressure chamber and the spring chamber when the pressure in the pressure chamber is lower than in the spring chamber. This prevents the pressure in the pressure chamber from dropping below the vapor pressure of the fuel so that no cavitation occurs. The wear and noise emission of the fuel injection device according to the invention are therefore reduced.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS





FIG. 1

shows a fuel injection device for an internal combustion engine, for example of a motor vehicle. The engine is an auto-ignition engine and has one or more cylinders and a fuel injection valve


12


for each cylinder. In the embodiment of the fuel injection device shown in

FIG. 1

, the device has a high-pressure fuel pump


10


for each cylinder of the engine. The high-pressure fuel pump


10


and the fuel injection valve


12


are combined into a so-called unit fuel injector. The high-pressure fuel pump


10


and the fuel injection valve


12


, however, can also be separate from each other and be connected to each other by means of a line. The high-pressure fuel pump


10


has a pump body


14


, in which a cylinder bore


16


has a pump piston


18


guided in it in a sealed fashion, which is driven in a stroke motion counter to the force of a restoring spring


19


by a cam on a camshaft of the engine. The pump piston


18


defines a pump working chamber


22


in the cylinder bore


16


, in which fuel is compressed at high pressure during the delivery stroke of the pump piston


18


. During the intake stroke of the pump piston


18


, the pump working chamber


22


is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank


24


, for example by means of a delivery pump. The pump working chamber


22


has a connection to a relief chamber, which function can be fulfilled by the fuel tank


24


, for example, and this connection is controlled by an electrically controlled valve


23


. The electrically controlled valve


23


is connected to a control unit


25


.




The fuel injection valve


12


has a valve body


26


, which is embodied of multiple parts, as will be explained in more detail below, and is connected to the pump body


14


. The valve body


26


contains a bore


30


in which an injection valve member


28


is guided so that it can move longitudinally. The bore


30


extends at least approximately parallel to the cylinder


16


of the pump body


14


, but can also be inclined in relation to it. In its end region oriented toward the combustion chamber in the cylinder of the engine, the valve body


26


has at least one and preferably several injection openings


32


. In its end region oriented toward the combustion chamber, the injection valve member


28


has a for example approximately conical sealing surface


34


that cooperates with a valve seat


36


, which is likewise approximately conical and is embodied in the end region of the valve body


26


oriented toward the combustion chamber; the injection openings


32


branch off from this valve seat


36


or branch off downstream of it.




Between injection valve member


28


and the bore


30


toward the valve seat


36


, the valve body


26


is provided with an annular chamber


38


, which, in its end region oriented away from the valve seat


36


, transitions by means of a radial expansion of the bore


30


into a pressure chamber


40


encompassing the injection valve member


28


. At the level of the pressure chamber


40


, the injection valve member


28


has a pressure shoulder


42


that points toward the valve seat


36


by means of a cross sectional restriction. The end of the injection valve member


28


remote from the combustion chamber supports a prestressed closing spring


44


, which presses the injection valve member


28


toward the valve seat


36


. The closing spring


44


is contained in a spring chamber


46


, which adjoins the bore


30


. The pressure chamber


40


is connected to the pump working chamber


22


by means of a conduit


48


extending through the valve body


26


.




At one end, the closing spring


44


is supported at least indirectly, for example by means of a spring plate, against the injection valve member


28


and at the other end, the closing spring


44


is supported at least indirectly, for example likewise by means of a spring plate


51


, against a deflecting piston


50


. The deflecting piston


50


is guided in a bore


80


of a housing part


81


and at its end region oriented toward the closing spring


44


, has a shaft part


52


, which passes through a connecting bore


53


in a dividing wall


54


of the housing part


81


between the spring chamber


46


and a storage volume


55


adjoining it in the housing part


81


. The spring plate


51


is supported at the end of a shaft part


52


protruding into the spring chamber


46


. The connecting bore


53


has a smaller diameter than the spring chamber


46


and the storage volume


55


. In the storage volume


55


, the deflecting piston


50


has a region


56


with a larger diameter than the connecting bore


53


so that a stroke motion of the deflecting piston


50


into the spring chamber


46


is limited by the fact that the region


56


of the deflecting piston


50


comes into contact with the dividing wall


54


that functions as a stop. The deflecting piston


50


is guided in a sealed fashion with its region


56


in the bore


80


that has a correspondingly greater diameter than the connecting bore


53


. The spring chamber


46


is embodied as a bore in a housing part


82


that constitutes a part of the valve body


26


. The conduit


48


chamber


46


and approximately parallel to it.




From the end of the storage volume


55


remote from the spring chamber


46


, a bore


58


leads toward the pump working chamber


22


in the housing part


81


. The bore


58


has a smaller diameter than the bore


80


. Oriented toward the bore


58


and adjoining the region


56


, the deflecting piston


50


has a sealing surface


60


, which is embodied approximately in the shape of a cone, for example. The sealing surface


60


cooperates with the mouth of the bore


58


, which opens into the storage volume


55


on the housing part


81


and functions as a seat that can also be embodied as approximately conical. The deflecting piston


50


has a shaft


62


, which protrudes into the bore


58


and whose diameter is smaller than that of the region


56


. Adjoining the sealing surface


60


, the shaft


62


at first has a significantly smaller diameter than the bore


58


and then, toward its free end, has a shaft region


64


with a diameter that is only slightly smaller than the diameter of the bore


58


. On its circumference, the shaft region


64


can have one or more flattened zones


65


, which constitute openings between the shaft region


64


and the bore


58


through which fuel can travel into the storage volume


55


.




An intermediary disk


83


is provided between the housing part


81


and the pump body


14


and contains a bore


84


, which connects the bore


58


in the housing part


81


to the pump working chamber


22


. The bore


84


represents a throttle restriction that connects the bore


58


to the pump working chamber


22


. In the bore


58


toward the intermediary disk


83


, the deflecting piston


50


defines an antechamber


85


that is connected to the pump working chamber


22


by means of the throttle restriction


84


.




When the deflecting piston


50


is disposed in a starting position, in which it rests with its sealing surface


60


against the sealing seat at the mouth of the bore


58


, then the storage volume


55


is closed off from the antechamber


85


and consequently from the pump working chamber


22


. In the starting position of the deflecting piston


50


, the pressure prevailing in the pump working chamber


22


acts on the end surface of the shaft region


64


and, through the openings between the shaft region


64


and the bore


58


, acts on the sealing surface


60


of the deflecting piston


50


in accordance with the diameter of the bore


58


. The force of the closing spring


44


holds the deflecting piston


50


in its starting position, counter to the pressure prevailing in the pump working chamber


22


and therefore in the antechamber


85


, when the force that the pressure in the pump working chamber


22


exerts on the deflecting piston


50


is less than the force of the closing spring


44


.




If the pressure in the pump working chamber


22


and therefore in the antechamber


85


increases so sharply that the force exerted on the deflecting piston


50


becomes greater than the force of the closing spring


44


, then the deflecting piston


50


, together with the shaft part


52


, moves in a compensating motion into the storage volume


55


, as a result of which the shaft part


52


moves into the spring chamber


46


. With the compensating motion of the deflecting piston


50


, fuel is displaced from the storage volume


55


into the spring chamber


46


and must pass through an annular gap between the shaft part


52


of the deflecting piston


50


and the connecting bore


53


. This produces a damping of the compensating motion of the shaft part


52


and therefore of the deflecting piston


50


.




Toward the fuel injection valve


12


, the housing part


82


is adjoined by an additional housing part


86


provided as part of the valve body


26


, which has a bore


87


, through which an end region of the injection valve member


28


passes and protrudes into the spring chamber


46


. The end region of the injection valve member


28


is supported against the closing spring


44


by means of a spring plate


88


in the spring chamber


46


. The end region of the injection valve member


28


has a smaller diameter than its region that is guided in the bore


30


. The bore


30


, the pressure chamber


40


, and the annular chamber


38


, at the lower end of which the valve seat


34


and the injection openings


32


are disposed, are embodied in a valve housing


89


that constitutes a part of the valve body


26


. A thin intermediary disk


90


is disposed between the housing part


86


and the valve housing


89


. The intermediary disk


90


has a bore


91


through which the end region of the injection valve member


28


passes.




The conduit


48


extends from the pressure chamber


40


and through the valve housing


89


, the intermediary disk


90


, the housing part


86


, and the housing part


82


. At its end oriented toward the intermediary disk


83


, the housing part


82


has a groove


92


, into which the conduit


48


feeds and which is connected to the antechamber


85


. The conduit


48


is consequently connected to the pump working chamber


22


by means of the groove


92


, the antechamber


85


, and the bore


84


. Alternatively, it is also possible for the conduit


48


to bypass the antechamber


85


and be connected directly to the pump working chamber


22


by means of a bore in the intermediary disk


83


. The on its side oriented toward the pump body


14


, the intermediary disk


83


can have a groove, which opens toward the pump working chamber


22


and feeds into the conduit


48


. For example, the groove can extend approximately radial to the cylinder bore


16


and extend from the cylinder bore


16


outward into the region of the intermediary disk


83


through which the conduit


48


passes. The connection of the pressure chamber


40


of the fuel injection valve


12


to the pump working chamber


22


by means of the conduit


48


in this instance takes place directly, bypassing the antechamber


85


that the deflecting piston


50


defines in the bore


58


toward the intermediary disk


83


.




The fuel injection valve


12


and the high-pressure fuel pump


10


are connected to each other by means of a clamping sleeve


94


. The clamping sleeve


94


encompasses the valve housing


89


and is screwed into a threaded bore


95


in the pump body


14


. The intermediary disk


83


, the housing parts


81


,


82


,


86


, and the intermediary disk


90


are clamped between the valve housing


89


and the pump body


14


.




The spring chamber


46


is connected to a low-pressure region, for example to the fuel tank


24


or to a region in which a somewhat elevated pressure is maintained, for example 2 to 5 bar. An additional conduit


100


leads from the pressure chamber


40


of the fuel injection valve


12


toward the intermediary disk


90


; this additional conduit


100


is offset in the circumference direction in relation to the conduit


48


and is disposed approximately diametrically opposite it, for example. The conduit


100


continues on through the intermediary disk


90


and the housing part


86


and feeds into the spring chamber


46


in the housing part


82


. The conduit


100


contains a check valve


102


, which opens toward the pressure chamber


40


. The check valve


102


has a valve member


106


, which is acted on in the closing direction by a closing spring


104


.




In a first exemplary embodiment shown in

FIG. 2

, the check valve


102


is disposed between the valve housing


89


and the intermediary disk


90


. Toward the intermediary disk


90


, the diameter of the conduit


100


in the valve housing


89


is enlarged and contains the closing spring


104


and the valve member


106


. In the intermediary disk


90


, the conduit


100


has a smaller cross section than the valve member


106


; the mouth of the conduit


100


on the side of the intermediary disk


90


oriented toward the valve housing


89


constitutes a valve seat


108


, which cooperates with the valve member


106


. The closing spring


104


presses the valve member


106


against this valve seat


108


.





FIG. 3

shows a second exemplary embodiment in which the check valve


102


is disposed in the intermediary disk


90


, which is somewhat thicker than in the first exemplary embodiment in order to accommodate the check valve


102


. The conduit


100


can have a constant cross section in the valve housing


89


and transitions into the intermediary disk


90


. On the side of the intermediary disk


90


oriented toward the housing part


86


, the conduit


100


has a larger cross section; this region of the conduit


100


contains the closing spring


104


and the valve member


106


. In the housing part


86


, the conduit


100


has a smaller cross section than the valve member


106


; the mouth of the conduit


100


on the side of the housing part


86


oriented toward the intermediary disk


90


constitutes a valve seat


108


, which cooperates with the valve member


106


. The closing spring


104


presses the valve member


106


against this valve seat


108


.




The function of the fuel injection device will be explained below. The pump working chamber


22


is filled with fuel during intake stroke of the pump piston


18


. During the delivery stroke of the pump piston


18


, the control valve


23


is at first open so that high pressure cannot build up in the pump working chamber


22


. To initiate the fuel injection, the control unit


25


closes the control valve


23


so that the pump working chamber


22


is closed off from the fuel tank


24


and high pressure builds up in it. When the pressure in the pump working chamber


22


and in the pressure chamber


40


becomes high enough for the force in the opening direction


29


acting on the injection valve member


28


by means of the pressure shoulder


42


to exceed the force of the closing spring


44


, then the injection valve member


28


moves in the opening direction


29


and unblocks the at least one injection opening


32


through which the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber of the cylinder. The deflecting piston


50


here is disposed in its starting position. The pressure in the pump working chamber


22


then continues to increase in accordance with the profile of the cam driving the pump piston


18


.




If the force, which is exerted on the deflecting piston


50


by the pressure prevailing in the pump working chamber


22


and therefore in the antechamber


85


, is greater than the force exerted on the deflecting piston


50


by the closing spring


44


, then the deflecting piston


50


executes its deflecting stroke motion and moves into the storage volume


55


. This causes a pressure decrease in the pump working chamber


22


and also increases the initial stress of the closing spring


44


, which is supported against the deflecting piston


50


by means of the shaft part


52


. The pressure decrease in the pump working chamber


22


and in the pressure chamber


40


results in a weaker force in the opening direction


29


on the injection valve member


28


and the increase in the initial stress of the closing spring


44


results in a stronger force in the closing direction on the injection valve member


28


, which causes this injection valve member to move back in the closing direction until its sealing surface


34


comes to contact with the valve seat


36


and closes the injection openings


32


so that the fuel injection is terminated. In this instance, the fuel injection valve


12


is opened for only a short duration and only a small quantity of fuel is injected into the combustion chamber as a preinjection. The injected fuel quantity is essentially determined by the opening pressure of the deflecting piston


50


, i.e. the pressure in the pump working chamber


22


and in the antechamber


85


at which the deflecting piston


50


begins its deflecting motion. A damping device can hydraulically limit the opening stroke of the injection valve member


28


during the preinjection.




The pressure in the pump working chamber


22


then continues to increase in accordance with the profile of the cam driving the pump piston


18


so that the compressive force acting on the injection valve member


28


in the opening direction


29


increases further and overcomes the closing force, which is increased due to the increased initial stress of the closing spring


44


, so that the fuel injection valve


12


opens once more. In this instance, a larger fuel quantity is injected over a longer duration than during the preinjection. The duration and the fuel quantity injected during this main injection are determined by the time at which the control unit


25


opens the control valve


23


again. After the control valve


23


is opened, the pump working chamber


22


is once again connected to the fuel tank


24


so that it is pressure relieved and the fuel injection valve


12


closes. The deflecting piston


50


with the shaft part


52


is moved back into its starting position by the force of the closing spring


44


.




If the pressure in the pressure chamber


40


is greater than the pressure in the spring chamber


46


, then the spring chamber


46


is closed off from the pressure chamber


40


by the closed check valve


102


. If the control valve


23


opens the connection of the pump working chamber


22


and therefore indirectly also of the pressure chamber


40


of the fuel injection valve


12


to the relief chamber in order to terminate the fuel injection, then the pressure in the pressure chamber


40


decreases sharply. When the pressure in the pressure chamber


40


falls below the pressure in the spring chamber


46


, then the check valve


102


opens so that the pressure in the pressure chamber


40


cannot fall below the pressure prevailing in the spring chamber


46


and fuel flows out of the spring chamber


46


into the pressure chamber


40


. This prevents cavitation in the pressure chamber


40


.





FIG. 4

shows the fuel injection device according to a third exemplary embodiment in which the embodiment of the fuel injection valve


12


with the check valve


102


is the same as in the first or second exemplary embodiment, but instead of the high-pressure fuel pump


10


, a high-pressure reservoir


110


serves as the high pressure source from which highly pressurized fuel is supplied to the pressure chamber


40


of the fuel injection valve


12


. Fuel is delivered into the high-pressure reservoir


110


by a high-pressure pump


112


. An electrically controlled valve


123


, which is controlled by a control unit


125


, is provided between the high-pressure reservoir


110


and the pressure chamber


40


of the fuel injection valve


12


. The high-pressure reservoir


110


serves as a pressure source for some or all of the fuel injection valves


12


of the internal combustion engine. The function of the fuel injection valve


12


with the check valve


102


is the same as those explained above.




The foregoing relates to preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention, it being understood that other variants and embodiments thereof are possible within the spirit and scope of the invention, the latter being defined by the appended claims.
