Abstract

A fuel-injection device includes at least one fuel injector, one receiving bore-hole for the fuel injector, and one pipe-shaped pipe connection of a fuel rail. The fuel injector is pushed into the interior of the pipe connection by an upstream inlet connection. A bayonet closure ensures that the fuel injector is fastened in the pipe connection of the fuel rail in a secure and detachable manner.

Claims (23)

1. A fuel-injection device, comprising:

at least one fuel injector having first bayonet locking bars affixed to an end cap of an inlet-side connection;

one receiving bore-hole for the fuel injector; and

one pipe-shaped pipe connection of a fuel rail having second bayonet locking bars, wherein the inlet-side connection of the at least one fuel injector is insertable into the interior of the pipe connection by an upstream inlet connection,

wherein the fuel injector is fastened in the pipe connection of the fuel rail by the first and second bayonet locking bars.

2. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the bayonet locking bars are selectively detachable.

3. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the first bayonet locking bars are provided on the outer circumference of the pipe connection and directed radially outwards; and the second bayonet locking bars are provided on the fuel injector.

4. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the second bayonet locking bars of the fuel injector project radially inwards and interconnect with the first bayonet locking bars of the pipe connection to form a bayonet closure.

5. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 4 , wherein the second bayonet locking bars are provided on the fuel injector on one of a valve component part or a closure part fastened to the outer circumference of the fuel injector.

6. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 2 , wherein the first bayonet locking bars are provided on the inner wall of the pipe connection and directed radially inwards; and the second bayonet locking bars are provided on the fuel injector.

7. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 6 , wherein the second bayonet locking bars are provided on an inlet connection of the fuel injector and project radially outwards and interconnect with the first bayonet locking bars of the pipe connection to form a bayonet closure.

8. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 7 , wherein a separate bayonet insert having the first bayonet locking bars directed radially inwards is inserted into an opening of the pipe connection and fastened to the interior of the pipe connection.

9. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 3 , wherein the first and second bayonet locking bars are shaped one of chamfered or spherically indented, and wherein the first and second bayonet locking bars are oriented complementarily to engage one another in the secured state.

10. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 3 , further comprising:

a pressure spring provided between the fuel rail and the fuel injector, wherein the pressure spring acts as a prestressing element for the fuel injector.

11. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 3 , further comprising:

a sealing ring configured to provide sealing of the fuel injector from the pipe connection, wherein the sealing ring is put under a specified stress to function as a holding-down spring.

12. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 6 , wherein the first and second bayonet locking bars are shaped one of chamfered or spherically indented, and wherein the first and second bayonet locking bars are oriented complementarily to engage one another in the secured state.

13. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 6 , further comprising:

a pressure spring provided between the fuel rail and the fuel injector, wherein the pressure spring acts as a prestressing element for the fuel injector.

14. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 6 , further comprising:

a sealing ring configured to provide sealing of the fuel injector from the pipe connection, wherein the sealing ring is put under a specified stress to function as a holding-down spring.

15. The fuel-injection device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the at least one fuel injector axially touches neither the receiving bore-hole nor the pipe-shaped pipe connection.
