Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Common Rail Einspritzsystem gemäß dem Gattungsbegriff
des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a common rail injection system according to the generic term
of
Common Rail Einspritzsysteme bestehen in der Regel aus einer Pumpe, einem Speicher und mindestens einem Injektor je Zylinder. Der Speicher und die Injektoren werden über Einspritzleitungen untereinander verbunden. Der Speicher muß dabei mit besonderen Elementen am Zylinderkopf befestigt werden und die Einspritzleitungen stellen einen besonderen Montageaufwand dar.Common rail injection systems usually consist of a pump, an accumulator and at least one injector per cylinder. The memory and the injectors are connected to each other via injection lines. The memory must be special Elements are attached to the cylinder head and the injection lines represent a special assembly effort.
Aus DE 195 43 506 A1 ist es bekannt, bei einem konventionellen Einspritzsystem die Einspritzleitung an eine mit einem Zylinderkopf verschraubte Pratze anzuschließen. Die Verbindung von Einspritzleitung und Einspritzdüse erfolgt durch eine in die Pratze integrierte Bohrung und ein Druckrohr, welches zwischen Pratze und Einspritzdüse eingespannt ist. Eine solche Bauart hat den Vorteil, daß die Einspritzleitung etwa parallel zur Zylinderachse geführt werden kann, so daß wenig seitlicher Bauraum erforderlich ist. Die Einspritzleitung selbst ist nicht entbehrlich und stellt einen Montageaufwaud dar und kann Anlaß zu Leitungsbrüchen geben.From DE 195 43 506 A1 it is known that in a conventional injection system Connect the injection line to a claw screwed to a cylinder head. The connection between the injection line and the injection nozzle is made in the claw Integrated bore and a pressure pipe, which is between the claw and the injector is clamped. Such a design has the advantage that the injection line approximately can be guided parallel to the cylinder axis, so that little lateral space is required is. The injection line itself is not unnecessary and requires assembly work and can give rise to line breaks.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den baulichen Aufwand für die Verbindung von Speicher und Injektoren zu minimieren.The invention has for its object the structural effort for the connection to minimize memory and injectors.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruches
1.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of the
Durch den unmittelbaren Anschluß des Speichers an die Pratze entfallen die Einspritzleitungen. Dadurch wird Montageaufwand gespart und Leitungsbrüche werden vermieden. Der Speicher benötigt auch keine separate Befestigung an der Brennkraftmaschine.The direct connection of the accumulator to the claw eliminates the injection lines. This saves assembly effort and cable breaks are avoided. The memory does not need a separate attachment to the Internal combustion engine.
Eine vorteilhafte Weiterbildung ist Anspruch 2 zu entnehmen.An advantageous further development can be found in
Der Durchflußbegrenzer verhindert den Austritt von Brennstoff im Falle einer größerenLeckage.The flow restrictor prevents fuel from escaping in the event of a major leakage.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist an Hand einer Zeichnung dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is illustrated with the aid of a drawing.
Das erfindungsgemäße Einspritzsystem wird aus einer hier nicht dargestellten Pumpe,
einem Speicher 1 und Injektoren gebildet, von dem hier nur ein Injektor 2 gezeigt ist.
Der Speicher 1 wird erfindungsgemäß unmittelbar mit einer Pratze 3 verbunden, welche
mittels einer Schraube 4 am Zylinderkopf 5 befestigt ist. Lediglich zur Absicherung
gegen größere Leckagen kann ein Durchflußbegrenzer 6 zwischen Speicher 1 und
Pratze 3 zwischengeschaltet werden.The injection system according to the invention is made from a pump, not shown here,
a
Zur Brennstofführung weist die Pratze 3 eine integrierte Bohrung 7 auf. Zwischen
Pratze 3 und Injektor 2 ist ein Druckrohr 8 mit Bohrung eingespannt welches die
Verbindung von der Bohrung 7 zum Injektor 2 herstellt. Die Abdichtung der freien
Enden des Druckrohres 8 gegen den Injektor 2 einerseits und gegen die Pratze 3 andererseits
erfolgt durch eine ballig ausgeführte Oberfläche der Enden des Druckrohres 8
welche gegen kegelige Dichtsitze im Injektor 2 und Pratze 3 gedrückt werden. Durch
die ballig gestaltete Oberfläche der freien Enden des Druckrohres 8 kann dieses kleine
Winkelabweichungen in Richtung der Achse des Speichers 1 ausführen, wenn durch
thermische Dehnung des durch den Brennstoff gekühlten Speichers 1 gegenüber dem
Zylinderkopf 5 Längendifferenzen auftreten.The claw 3 has an integrated
Zur Sicherheit gegen größere Leckageverluste ist ein Durchflußbegrenzer 6 vorgesehen
welcher aus einer Spannhülse 9 gebildet wird, welche mit dem Speicher 1 und der
Pratze 3 mittels eines Linksgewindes 10a bzw. eines Rechtsgewindes 10b oder umgekehrt
verbunden ist. Im inneren der Spannhülse 9 befindet sich eine konzentrisch
liegende Dichthülse 11, in welcher ein federbelasteter Kolben 12 geführt ist. Die
Federkraft wirkt entgegen der Durchflußrichtung. Im normalen Betriebszustand reicht
die Kraft der Feder und des Gegendruckes vom Injektor 1 her aus, um den Kolben 12
gegen den Brennstoffdruck in der gezeichneten Ausgangsstellung zu halten. Der
Brennstoff gelangt über die Bohrungen im Kolben 12 und die Bohrung 7, sowie über
das Druckrohr 8 zum Injektor 1. Vergrößert sich der Durchfluß des Brennstoffes bei
einer größeren Leckage wesentlich gegenüber Vollastförderung, so schließt ein
Ventilsitz 13 durch die erhöhte Druckdiffererz gegen die Federkraft und sperrt für den
entsprechenden Injektor den Durchfluß.A flow limiter 6 is provided to ensure greater leakage losses
which is formed from an
