Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve assembly for an injection valve and an injection valve.
  • Injection valves are in wide spread use, in particular for internal combustion engines where they may be arranged in order to dose the fluid into an intake manifold of the internal combustion engine or directly into the combustion chamber of a cylinder of the internal combustion engine.
  • injection valves are manufactured in various forms in order to satisfy the various needs for the various combustion engines. Therefore, for example, their length, their diameter and also various elements of the injection valve being responsible for the way the fluid is dosed may vary in a wide range.
  • injection valves may accommodate an actuator for actuating a needle of the injection valve, which may, for example, be an electromagnetic actuator or piezo electric actuator.
  • the respective injection valve may be suited to dose fluids under very high pressures.
  • the pressures may be in case of a gasoline engine, for example, in the range of up to 200 bar and in the case of diesel engines in the range of up to 2000 bar.
  • the object of the invention is to create a valve assembly for an injection valve and an injection valve which facilitate a reliable and precise function of the injection valve.
  • a valve assembly for an injection valve comprising a valve body including a central longitudinal axis, the valve body comprising a cavity with a fluid inlet portion and a fluid outlet portion, and a valve needle axially movable in the cavity.
  • the valve needle has a valve needle tip.
  • the valve needle tip prevents a fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in a closing position and releases the fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion in further positions.
  • the valve needle tip comprises a flat surface section facing the fluid outlet portion. The flat surface section is designed in a manner that the valve needle tip receives a given hydraulic pressure force from the fluid outlet portion while the valve needle leaves the closing position.
  • valve needle tip is essentially shaped as a ball. This has the advantage that the flat surface section on the valve needle tip can be manufactured in a simple and precise manner.
  • the invention is distinguished by an injection valve with a valve assembly according to the first aspect of the invention and an actuator unit.
  • the actuator unit is designed to act on the valve assembly.
  • An injection valve 10 that is in particular suitable for dosing fuel to an internal combustion engine comprises in particular a valve assembly 11 and an inlet tube 12.
  • the valve assembly 11 comprises a valve body 14 with a central longitudinal axis A and a housing 16.
  • the housing 16 is partially arranged around the valve body 14.
  • a cavity 18 is arranged in the valve body 14.
  • the cavity 18 takes in a valve needle 20 and an armature 22.
  • a main spring 24 is arranged in a recess 26 provided in the inlet tube 12.
  • the main spring 24 is mechanically coupled to the armature 22.
  • the armature 22 can guide the valve needle 14 in axial direction inside the inlet tube 12.
  • a filter element 30 is arranged in the inlet tube 12 and forms a further seat for the main spring 24.
  • the filter element 30 can be axially moved in the inlet tube 12 in order to preload the main spring 24 in a desired manner.
  • the main spring 24 exerts a force on the valve needle 20 towards an at least one injection nozzle 34 of the injection valve 10.
  • the injection nozzle 34 may be, for example, an injection hole. However, it may also be of some other type suitable for dosing fluid.
  • the valve assembly 11 is provided with an actuator unit 36 that is preferably an electro-magnetic actuator.
  • the electromagnetic actuator unit 36 comprises a coil 38, which is preferably arranged inside the housing 16. Furthermore, the electro-magnetic actuator unit 36 comprises the armature 22.
  • the armature 22 is axially movable in the cavity 18
  • a fluid outlet portion 40 and a fluid inlet portion 42 are provided in the valve body 14.
  • the fluid outlet portion 40 is in hydraulic communication with the fluid inlet portion 42.
  • the housing 16, the inlet tube 12, the armature 22 and the valve body 14 are forming an electromagnetic circuit.
  • An armature spring 44 which is preferably a coil spring is fixedly coupled to the valve body 14.
  • the armature spring 44 forms a soft stop element for the armature 22.
  • the valve needle 20 has a valve needle shaft 46 which is shaped as a hollow cylinder. Furthermore, the valve needle 20 has a valve needle tip 48.
  • the valve needle tip 48 is essentially shaped as a ball and is fixedly coupled to the valve needle shaft 46. Preferably, the valve needle tip 48 is coupled to the valve needle shaft 46 by welding.
  • the valve needle tip 48 has a flat surface section 50.
  • the flat surface section 50 faces the fluid outlet portion 40 and consequently, the injection nozzles 34.
  • Fluid is led from the fluid inlet portion 42 towards the fluid outlet portion 40.
  • the valve needle 20 prevents a fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion 40 in a closing position of the valve needle 20. Outside of the closing position of the valve needle 20, the valve needle 20 enables the fluid flow through the fluid outlet portion 40.
  • the actuator unit 36 may effect an electro-magnetic force on the armature 22.
  • the armature 22 is attracted by the electro-magnetic actuator unit 36 with the coil 38 and moves in axial direction away from the fluid outlet portion 40.
  • the armature 22 takes the valve needle 20 with it so that the valve needle 20 moves in axial direction out of the closing position with a lift L. Consequently, outside of the closing position of the valve needle 20 a gap between the seat plate 32 and the valve needle tip 48 at the axial end of the injection valve 10 facing away from of the actuator unit 36 forms a fluid path and fluid can pass through the at least one injection nozzle 34.
  • the main spring 24 can force the valve needle 20 to move in axial direction in its closing position. It is depending on the force balance between the force on the valve needle 20 caused by the actuator unit 36 with the coil 38 and the force on the valve needle 20 caused by the main spring 24 whether the valve needle 20 is in its closing position or not.
  • valve needle tip 48 with the flat surface section 50 enables a higher hydraulic force acting on the valve needle tip 48 due to the fluid pressure of the fluid in the fluid outlet portion 40 compared with a valve needle tip 48 being completely shaped as a ball, i.e. having no flat surface section 50. Therefore, the valve needle 20 may be opened with a shorter opening time assuming that the preload of the main spring 24 is fixed.
  • a further advantage of the flat surface section 50 is that the mass flow through the fluid outlet portion 40 is only slightly dependent from the lift L of the valve needle 20 at high values of the lift L near a design specification of the lift L. Consequently, the flat surface section 50 of the valve needle tip 48 allows the acceptance of a high tolerance of the lift L of the valve needle 20.
  • a further advantage of the flat surface section 50 is that the minimum mass flow rate through the fluid outlet portion 40 and the at least one injection nozzle 34 can be kept very small with the same maximum opening pressure of the injection valve 10.
  • a further advantage is that the maximum opening pressure of the injection valve 10 can increase with the same minimum mass flow rate through the fluid outlet portion 40 and the at least one injection nozzle 34.
