Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a solenoid device and an electromagnetic valve of a fuel injection device. [Background technology]

[0002] A common rail fuel injection system used in diesel engines and the like comprises a fuel pump, a common rail, and a fuel injection valve. The fuel pump draws fuel from a fuel tank, pressurizes it, and supplies it to the common rail as high-pressure fuel. The common rail maintains the high-pressure fuel supplied from the fuel pump at a predetermined pressure. The fuel injection valve injects the high-pressure fuel from the common rail into the combustion chamber of the diesel engine by opening and closing the injection valve.

[0003] The fuel injection valve has a solenoid valve that includes a solenoid device that generates electromagnetic force by passing an electric current through a coil wound around a core, and a valve unit formed using a magnetic material. Such a solenoid valve is configured to apply an elastic force to the valve unit to press the fuel flow path, and when the solenoid device does not generate electromagnetic force, the elastic force presses the fuel flow path to close it. When the solenoid device generates electromagnetic force, the electromagnetic force attracts the valve unit toward the solenoid device, and when the valve unit moves away from the flow path, the flow path is opened.

[0004] When the valve unit is attracted to the solenoid device, a small gap is ensured to prevent it from coming into contact with the electromagnetic force generating surface of the solenoid device. For example, a cylindrical sleeve or the like is embedded in the core, and a stopper is formed that causes the valve unit to abut only on this part (see, for example, Patent Document 1, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-194237 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In the configuration described in Patent Document 1, when the valve unit comes into contact with the sleeve, an impact is applied to the core and other parts of the solenoid device via the sleeve, which weakens the fixing force of the sleeve and can cause asymmetric lift of the valve unit. For this reason, there is a demand for a solenoid device with a stopper structure that is highly resistant to impact.

[0007] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above, and has an object to provide a solenoid device and a solenoid valve of a fuel injection device that have a stopper structure that is highly impact resistant. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The solenoid device of the present disclosure is a solenoid device that drives a valve unit of an electromagnetic valve provided in a fuel injection device by electromagnetic force, and includes a cylindrical core, a coil wound around the core, a casing that houses the core and the coil and covers at least one axial end of the central axis of the core, a terminal fixing member that is arranged between the core and the casing in the axial direction and fixes a terminal connected to the coil, and a cylindrical member that is arranged on the inner side of the core so as to penetrate the core and the casing in the axial direction, has a protruding portion that protrudes radially perpendicular to the axial direction and is held from both sides in the axial direction by the casing and the terminal fixing member, and is positioned so that the other axial end can come into contact with the valve unit.

[0009] The solenoid valve of the fuel injection device according to the present disclosure comprises the above-described solenoid device, and a valve unit formed using a magnetic material, arranged opposite the other end of the core in the axial direction, to which an elastic force is applied in a direction away from the core in the axial direction, and when no electromagnetic force is generated by the solenoid device, the elastic force presses the fuel flow passage to close it, and when an electromagnetic force is generated by the solenoid device, the electromagnetic force draws the valve unit to the core to a position where it contacts the cylindrical member, and moves away from the flow passage to open it. [Effects of the Invention]

[0010] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a solenoid device and a solenoid valve of a fuel injection device that are excellent in impact resistance. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a fuel injection valve. [Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of a solenoid valve.

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of a solenoid device and a solenoid valve for a fuel injection device according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Furthermore, the components in the following embodiments include those that are easily replaceable by those skilled in the art, or those that are substantially identical.

[0013] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a fuel injection device 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the fuel injection device 10 is mounted on a diesel engine (internal combustion engine). The fuel injection device 10 includes a fuel pump 11, a common rail 12, and a plurality of fuel injection valves 13.

[0014] The fuel pump 11 is connected to a fuel tank 14 via a fuel line L11. The fuel pump 11 draws fuel stored in the fuel tank 14 through the fuel line L11 and pressurizes it to generate high-pressure fuel. The fuel pump 11 is connected to a common rail 12 via a high-pressure fuel line L12. The common rail 12 maintains the high-pressure fuel supplied from the fuel pump 11 at a predetermined pressure. The common rail 12 is connected to fuel injection valves 13 via multiple (four in this embodiment) fuel supply lines L13. The fuel injection valves 13 inject the high-pressure fuel from the common rail 12 into each cylinder (combustion chamber) of the diesel engine by opening and closing a solenoid valve.

[0015] Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of fuel injection valve 13. As shown in Fig. 2, fuel injection valve 13 has a shape that extends in the axial direction of center axis AX, and has an injection unit 20 and a solenoid valve 40. In the following description of the configuration of fuel injection valve 13, the fuel injection port 30 side in the axial direction of center axis AX will be referred to as the tip side, and the solenoid valve 40 side will be referred to as the base side.

[0016] The injection unit 20 has a casing 21 and a piston valve 22. The casing 21 has a fuel inlet 24, an injection-side flow path 25, a control-side flow path 26, an injection-side pressure chamber 27, a control-side pressure chamber 28, a cylinder chamber 29, a fuel injection port 30, a fuel outlet 31, and a solenoid valve-side pressure chamber 32.

[0017] Fuel from the fuel supply line L13 flows into the fuel inlet 24. The injection-side flow path 25 connects the fuel inlet 24 to an injection-side pressure chamber 27. The control-side flow path 26 connects the fuel inlet 24 to a control-side pressure chamber 28.

[0018] The injection pressure chamber 27 is connected to a fuel injection port 30. The fuel injection port 30 is disposed at the end of the tip side of the casing 21, and injects fuel toward each cylinder of the diesel engine.

[0019] The control-side pressure chamber 28 is connected to a fuel outlet 31. The fuel outlet 31 is disposed at the end of the base end of the casing 21, and is connected to a solenoid valve-side pressure chamber 32. The solenoid valve-side pressure chamber 32 is connected to the solenoid valve 40 (a space 46d, which will be described later).

[0020] The cylinder chamber 29 is connected to the injection-side pressure chamber 27 and the control-side pressure chamber 28. The cylinder chamber 29 accommodates the piston valve 22. The cylinder chamber 29 is connected to the solenoid-valve-side pressure chamber 32 via a flow path 29a.

[0021] The piston valve 22 is housed in a cylinder chamber 29 and is provided so as to be movable toward the injection-side pressure chamber 27 or the control-side pressure chamber 28. The piston valve 22 has a spring seat member 22a, a control-side piston member 22b, a connecting member 22c, and a valve body 22d. The spring seat member 22a, the control-side piston member 22b, and the connecting member 22c are integral with each other. The spring seat member 22a receives an elastic force from an elastic member 23, which will be described later. The control-side piston member 22b receives pressure from the control-side pressure chamber 28. The connecting member 22c connects the spring seat member 22a and the control-side piston member 22b. The valve body 22d protrudes from the spring seat member 22a toward the tip side in the axial direction of the central axis AX. The valve body 22d abuts against the spring seat member 22a due to the resultant force of the elastic force and the pressures received from the pressure chambers. The valve body 22d is formed in a shape such that the tip thereof can close the fuel injection port 30. The valve body 22d receives the pressure of the injection side pressure chamber 27.

[0022] When the pressure in the injection-side pressure chamber 27 is smaller than the resultant force of the pressure in the control-side pressure chamber 28 and the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the piston valve 22 is pressed toward the injection-side pressure chamber 27. In this case, the fuel injection port 30 is closed by the valve body 22d. From this state, when the pressure in the injection-side pressure chamber 27 becomes larger than the resultant force of the pressure in the control-side pressure chamber 28 and the elastic force of the elastic member 23, the piston valve 22 is pressed toward the control-side pressure chamber 28. In this case, the valve body 22d moves away from the fuel injection port 30, opening the fuel injection port 30.

[0023] The solenoid valve 40 has a solenoid device 41 and a valve unit 42. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an example of the solenoid valve 40. Fig. 3 shows an enlarged portion of Fig. 2. As shown in Fig. 3, the solenoid device 41 drives the valve unit 42 along the axial direction of the central axis AX by electromagnetic force. The solenoid device 41 has a core 43, a coil 44, a casing 45, a cylindrical member 46, and a terminal fixing member 47.

[0024] The core 43 has a cylindrical portion 43a, a flange portion 43b, and a side surface portion 43c. The cylindrical portion 43a is formed, for example, in a cylindrical shape. The flange portion 43b is, for example, in a disk shape, and is disposed on the base end side of the core 43. The cylindrical portion 43a and the flange portion 43b are disposed so that their central axes coincide with the central axis AX of the fuel injection valve 13.

[0025] The side surface portion 43c is cylindrical and encloses the cylindrical portion 43a. The side surface portion 43c is disposed radially apart from the cylindrical portion 43a and extends toward the tip side. The cylindrical portion 43a, the flange portion 43b, and the side surface portion 43c are formed using a magnetic material. The core 43 accommodates the coil 44 in a space surrounded by the cylindrical portion 43a, the flange portion 43b, and the side surface portion 43c. The space in the core 43 where the coil 44 is disposed is sealed by a sealing portion 49. The sealing portion 49 is formed using, for example, a resin material. The terminal fixing member 47 is disposed between the core 43 and a casing 45 (described later) in the axial direction of the center axis AX and fixes a terminal 44a connected to the coil 44. The terminal 44a penetrates the casing 45 and is extended to the outside. The terminal fixing member 47 is formed using, for example, a resin material.

[0026] The coil 44 is wound around the cylindrical portion 43a. The coil 44 passes through a casing 45 (described later) and is connected to a power supply (not shown). The solenoid device 41 generates an electromagnetic force by passing a current through the coil 44.

[0027] The casing 45 accommodates the core 43 and the coil 44. The casing 45 has a core accommodating portion 45a and a holding portion 45b. The core accommodating portion 45a and the holding portion 45b are each integrally formed using a non-magnetic material. The core accommodating portion 45a accommodates the core 43 including the coil 44. The core accommodating portion 45a is arranged so as to cover the flange portion 43b and the side surface portion 43c of the core 43. The holding portion 45b is arranged on the base end side of the core accommodating portion 45a. The holding portion 45b holds the tubular member 46. The holding portion 45b has a step portion 45d that corresponds to a protrusion 46a (described later) of the tubular member 46. The shape and dimensions of the step portion 45d are set so that the protrusion 46a is held in contact with the entire holding portion 45b.

[0028] In the casing 45, the cylindrical member 46 is accommodated in the holding portion 45b, and the terminal fixing member 47 and the core 43 are accommodated in the core accommodating portion 45a. This makes it possible to realize a configuration in which the holding portion 45b of the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47 hold the protruding portion 46a so as to sandwich it from both sides in the axial direction of the central axis AX.

[0029] The tubular member 46 is provided so as to penetrate the core 43 and the casing 45 in the axial direction of the central axis AX. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an example of the tubular member 46. Fig. 4 shows the tubular member 46 extracted from the solenoid valve 40 shown in Fig. 3. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the tubular member 46 has, for example, a cylindrical shape, and is arranged so that its central axis coincides with the central axis AX of the fuel injection valve 13.

[0030] The cylindrical member 46 has a protruding portion 46a. The protruding portion 46a protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical member 46 in a radial direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the center axis AX. The protruding portion 46a is held on both sides in the axial direction of the center axis AX by the holding portion 45b of the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47. That is, the protruding portion 46a is held by the step portion 45d on the base end side and side surface in the axial direction of the center axis AX, and the protruding portion 46a is held by the terminal fixing member 47 on the tip end side. This configuration restricts movement of the cylindrical member 46 in the axial direction of the center axis AX. This prevents, for example, sliding between the cylindrical member 46 and the inner periphery of the core 43 relative to each other in the axial direction of the center axis AX, thereby reducing wear of the core 43. This also prevents fuel from penetrating into worn areas of the core 43.

[0031] The cylindrical member 46 is disposed at a position where the tip end surface 46b can come into contact with the valve unit 42. In the present embodiment, the end surface 46b is flush with, for example, the tip end surface of the side surface portion 43c of the core 43 and the tip end surface of the sealing portion 49. The cylindrical member 46 may be disposed at a position where the end surface 46b protrudes toward the tip side relative to the tip end surface of the side surface portion 43c and the tip end surface of the sealing portion 49.

[0032] The cylindrical member 46 has a support portion 46d on its inner periphery. The support portion 46d is formed in a stepped shape in cross section so as to reduce the diameter of the cylindrical member 46. The cylindrical member 46 accommodates an elastic member 48 in a space 46e between the end face 46b and the support portion 46d. The elastic member 48 is accommodated in the space 46e with its base end supported by the support portion 46d. The elastic member 48 applies an elastic force to the valve unit 42 toward the tip end in the axial direction of the central axis AX.

[0033] The cylindrical member 46 has a connecting portion 46c. The connecting portion 46c is provided so as to protrude from the holding portion 45b of the casing 45 toward the base end. The connecting portion 46c is connected to the external fuel discharge flow path 50. The connecting portion 46c has a space 46f on the inner circumferential side. The space 46f is connected to the space 46e via the connecting flow path 46g. Therefore, the inside of the cylindrical member 46 is in communication from the tip side to the base end side. The space 46e of the cylindrical member 46 is connected to the solenoid valve side pressure chamber 32. Therefore, the cylindrical member 46 functions as a joint that connects the solenoid valve side pressure chamber 32 and the external fuel discharge flow path 50.

[0034] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the configuration along the AA cross section in FIG. 4. As shown in FIG. 5, the protruding portion 46a has a locking portion 46h that locks to the casing 45 in a direction around the central axis AX. When viewed from the axial direction of the central axis AX, the locking portion 46h has a shape obtained by linearly cutting out a portion of the arc of the protruding portion 46a, for example. When viewed from the axial direction of the central axis AX, the casing 45 (the core-side portion 45a and the holding portion 45b) has an opening with a linear portion corresponding to the locking portion 46h. When viewed from the axial direction of the central axis AX, the locking portion 46h is locked to the linear portion of the casing 45, thereby restricting rotation of the cylindrical member 46 in a direction around the central axis AX. This restricts sliding between the cylindrical member 46 and the core 43 in the rotational direction.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, the valve unit 42 moves in the axial direction of the central axis AX due to electromagnetic force generated by the solenoid device 41. The valve unit 42 has an armature 42a, a valve body 42b, and a step portion 42c. The armature 42a is formed using a magnetic material. The armature 42a is, for example, disk-shaped. The armature 42a is disposed opposite the tip end of the core 43 of the solenoid device 41. The valve body 42b extends from the armature 42a toward the tip end. The tip end of the valve body 42b is formed in a shape that can close the fuel discharge port 31.

[0036] The step portion 42c is formed with the central portion of the armature 42a protruding toward the solenoid device 41. The step portion 42c is formed with a shape and dimensions that allow it to come into contact with the end surface 46b of the cylindrical member 46 when the valve unit 42 is attracted toward the solenoid device 41. The step portion 42c receives an elastic force from the elastic member 48. The elastic force of the elastic member 48 is transmitted to the armature 42a and the valve body 42b via the step portion 42c. The elastic force of the elastic member 48 is applied to the armature 42a and the valve body 42b toward the tip side in the axial direction of the center axis AX. The step portion 42c does not necessarily have to be provided.

[0037] The operation of the fuel injection valve 13 configured as described above will now be described. When no current flows through the coil 44 of the solenoid device 41, no electromagnetic force is generated in the solenoid device 41. In this case, the valve body 42b of the valve unit 42 presses the fuel outlet 31 toward the tip side due to the elastic force of the elastic member 48. This causes the fuel outlet 31 to be closed.

[0038] When the fuel outlet 31 is closed, the resultant force of the pressure received by the control-side pressure chamber 28 and the elastic force of the elastic member 23 becomes greater than the pressure received by the injection-side pressure chamber 27. As a result, the piston valve 22 presses the fuel injection port 30, thereby closing it.

[0039] Furthermore, when a current is passed through the coil 44 of the solenoid device 41, an electromagnetic force is generated in the solenoid device 41. Fig. 6 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing an example of the operation of the solenoid valve 40. Fig. 6 shows an example when a current is passed through the coil 44. As shown in Fig. 6, when an electromagnetic force is generated in the solenoid device 41, the electromagnetic force pulls the armature 42a of the valve unit 42 toward the core 43, and the valve body 42b moves away from the fuel discharge port 31. This opens the fuel discharge port 31.

[0040] When the fuel outlet 31 opens, the pressure in the control-side pressure chamber 28 decreases. When the resultant force of the pressure received by the control-side pressure chamber 28 and the elastic force of the elastic member 23 becomes smaller than the pressure received by the injection-side pressure chamber 27, the piston valve 22 moves toward the control-side pressure chamber 28. In this case, the valve body 22d of the piston valve 22 moves away from the fuel injection port 30, and the fuel injection port 30 opens. When the fuel injection port 30 opens, fuel that has flowed from the fuel inlet 24 through the injection-side flow path 25 and into the injection-side pressure chamber 27 is injected from the fuel injection port 30.

[0041] In the above operation, when the valve unit 42 is attracted toward the core 43 by the electromagnetic force of the solenoid device 41, the step 42c of the valve unit 42 comes into contact with the end surface 46b of the cylindrical member 46, as shown in Fig. 6. In this case, the cylindrical member 46 functions as a stopper that restricts the movement of the valve unit 42 toward the base end.

[0042] When the step portion 42c comes into contact with the end face 46b of the cylindrical member 46, an impact is applied to the inside of the solenoid device 41, such as the core 43, via the cylindrical member 46. In the solenoid device 41 according to this embodiment, the cylindrical member 46 is held at the protrusion 46a by the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47 on both sides in the axial direction of the central axis AX. Therefore, the impact when the valve unit 42 comes into contact with the cylindrical member 46 can be absorbed by the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47. Furthermore, when the valve unit 42 comes into contact, movement of the cylindrical member 46 in the axial direction of the central axis AX is restricted. Therefore, sliding between the cylindrical member 46 and the core 43 is suppressed, and wear on the inner circumferential surface of the core 43 is suppressed.

[0043] As described above, the solenoid device 41 according to this embodiment is a solenoid device 41 that drives the valve unit 42 of the solenoid valve 40 provided in the fuel injection device 10 by electromagnetic force, and includes a cylindrical core 43, a coil 44 wound around the core 43, a casing 45 that houses the core 43 and the coil 44 and covers at least one end of the core 43 in the axial direction of the center axis AX, a terminal fixing member 47 that is arranged between the core 43 and the casing 45 in the axial direction and fixes the terminal 44a connected to the coil 44, and a cylindrical member 46 that is arranged on the inner periphery of the core 43 so as to penetrate the core 43 and the casing 45 in the axial direction, has a protruding portion 46a that protrudes radially in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction and is held from both sides in the axial direction by the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47, and is positioned so that its end face 46b can come into contact with the valve unit 42.

[0044] According to this configuration, the cylindrical member 46 is held at the protruding portion 46a by the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47 from both sides in the axial direction of the central axis AX. As a result, the impact when the valve unit 42 comes into contact with the cylindrical member 46 can be absorbed by the casing 45 and the terminal fixing member 47. Furthermore, when the valve unit 42 comes into contact, movement of the cylindrical member 46 in the axial direction of the central axis AX is restricted. This reduces sliding between the cylindrical member 46 and the core 43, and reduces wear and the like on the inner circumferential surface of the core 43. This makes it possible to provide a solenoid device 41 with excellent impact resistance.

[0045] In the solenoid device 41 according to this embodiment, the protrusion 46a has a locking portion 46h that locks to the casing 45 in the direction around the central axis AX. This configuration suppresses rotation of the cylindrical member 46 in the direction around the central axis AX, thereby more reliably suppressing damage to the solenoid device 41, such as the core 43.

[0046] In the solenoid device 41 according to this embodiment, the cylindrical member 46 has, at one end in the axial direction, a connection portion 46c that is connected to the external fuel discharge flow path 50. According to this configuration, the cylindrical member 46, which is a single member, is provided with a contact portion with the valve unit 42 and a joint portion with the fuel discharge flow path 50, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0047] The solenoid valve 40 of the fuel injection device 10 according to this embodiment comprises the above-mentioned solenoid device 41, and a valve unit 42 formed using a magnetic material, arranged opposite the other axial end of the core 43, to which an elastic force is applied in a direction away from the core 43 in the axial direction, and which presses the fuel flow passage to close it by the elastic force when no electromagnetic force is generated by the solenoid device 41, and which is drawn by the electromagnetic force to the core 43 to a position where it contacts the cylindrical member 46 and moves away from the flow passage, thereby opening the flow passage.

[0048] According to this configuration, since the solenoid device 41 is provided which can suppress the occurrence of damage to the internal structure, the solenoid valve 40 can have high impact resistance.

[0049] In the solenoid valve 40 of the fuel injection device 10 according to this embodiment, the cylindrical member 46 has a support portion 46d that supports the elastic member 48 that applies elastic force to the valve unit 42. With this configuration, the cylindrical member 46, which is a single member, is provided with the contact portion with the valve unit 42 and the support portion 46d for the elastic member 48, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0050] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and appropriate modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the solenoid valve 40 is provided in the fuel injection valve 13 of the fuel injection device 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. The solenoid valve 40 may be provided in another location in the fuel injection device 10.
