ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, preferably Diesel engines, with at least one control valve by means of which a control piston is displaceable by a pressure medium in order to convey fuel through at least one intake line toward a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine.
For a reliable and clean mixture formation, internal combustion engines, Diesel engines in particular, require an injection process consisting of several individual injection actions. The injection processes are divided into pre-injection and main injection of the fuel quantity. For producing the pre-injection fuel quantity, a control unit is employed which requires a high-cost electronic control system and which shows energetic losses. Frequently, a damper is employed for producing the pre-injection fuel quantity. This damper, however, cannot be fully utilized in each step of the operation. The reason for this is that the response time of the control hydraulic is too long in the event of small injection quantities due to the design of the control elements and a small pre-injection quantity can, therefore, be produced only with the help of a significant control-technical structural design and expenditure.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fuel injection device of the aforementioned kind such that a small pre-injection quantity can be produced with the fuel injection device having a simple structural design and only requiring a small control-technical expenditure and design without having a detrimental effect on the pressure flow of the main injection and, thus, on the main injection quantity.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This object is solved by the inventive fuel injection device by providing at least one accumulator for the pressure medium in the flow path of the pressure medium and arranging this accumulator within the control piston.
