High pressure valve
A high pressure valve includes a body on which is fixed an electromagnet, the shell of which has a radial discal part provided with a central hole connecting an internal opposite surface to an external surface. The body is provided with a cylindrical external centring surface and with a radial support surface. The shell is arranged on the body around the centring surface, the external discal surface being in surface contact against the support surface of the body. The coil of the electromagnet is arranged in the tubular space between the body and the shell itself closed by a closure ring. The liquid-tightness between the body and the shell is ensured by a gasket compressed by a wedging washer against the centring surface and against the internal discal surface. The shell is then immobilized on the body by the wedging washer.
1. A high pressure valve forming part of the common rail diesel injection circuit of an internal combustion engine, the high pressure valve comprising:
an axial body on which is fixed an electromagnet having a shell, a coil and a core enclosed under a bell capping the body, the core actuating a needle between an open state and a closed state,
the shell having an axial tubular part open at a first end and a radial discal part at a second end, the discal part having a central hole connecting an opposite internal surface to an external surface and the body being provided externally with a cylindrical centring surface and with a radial support surface, the shell being arranged on the body around the centring surface, the external discal surface being in surface contact against the support surface of the body, a tubular space then being formed between the body and the tubular part of the shell, the coil being arranged in the tubular space itself closed by a closure ring,
the liquid-tightness between the body and the shell being ensured by an elastomeric gasket arranged around the centring surface and against the internal discal surface, the high pressure valve being characterised by the fact that it comprises in addition
a wedging washer mounted and clamped on the centring surface of the body and arranged between the coil and the sealing gasket, the wedging washer compressing the gasket against the centring surface and against the internal discal surface, the shell then being immobilised on the body by the said wedging washer.
2. A high pressure valve as in claim 1 in which the closure ring holds the coil in place, the ring being mounted and clamped in the shell and being flush with the first end of the shell.
3. A high pressure valve as in claim 1 , provided in addition with a plug arranged on the closure ring, the plug obturating the tubular space in liquid-tight manner.
4. A high pressure valve as in claim 1 , in which the radial play between the central hole and the centring surface is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
5. A high pressure valve as in claim 1 in which the shell and its central hole are formed by stamping or pressing.
6. A high pressure valve as in claim 1 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
7. A common rail diesel fuel injection system comprising:
a high pressure valve having:
an axial body on which is fixed an electromagnet having a shell, a coil and a core enclosed under a bell capping the body, the core actuating a needle between an open state and a closed state,
the shell having an axial tubular part open at a first end and a radial discal part at a second end, the discal part having a central hole connecting an opposite internal surface to an external surface and the body being provided externally with a cylindrical centring surface and with a radial support surface, the shell being arranged on the body around the centring surface, the external discal surface being in surface contact against the support surface of the body, a tubular space then being formed between the body and the tubular part of the shell, the coil being arranged in the tubular space itself closed by a closure ring,
the liquid-tightness between the body and the shell being ensured by an elastomeric gasket arranged around the centring surface and against the internal discal surface, the high pressure valve being characterised by the fact that it comprises in addition
a wedging washer mounted and clamped on the centring surface of the body and arranged between the coil and the sealing gasket, the wedging washer compressing the gasket against the centring surface and against the internal discal surface, the shell then being immobilised on the body by the said wedging washer.
8. A high pressure valve as in claim 2 , provided in addition with a plug arranged on the closure ring, the plug obturating the tubular space in liquid-tight manner.
9. A high pressure valve as in claim 2 , in which the radial play between the central hole and the centring surface is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
10. A high pressure valve as in claim 2 in which the shell and its central hole are formed by stamping or pressing.
11. A high pressure valve as in claim 2 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
12. A high pressure valve as in claim 3 , in which the radial play between the central hole and the centring surface is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
13. A high pressure valve as in claim 3 in which the shell and its central hole are formed by stamping or pressing.
14. A high pressure valve as in claim 3 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
15. A high pressure valve as in claim 4 in which the shell and its central hole are formed by stamping or pressing.
16. A high pressure valve as in claim 4 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
17. A high pressure valve as in claim 8 , in which the radial play between the central hole and the centring surface is less than or equal to 0.5 mm.
18. A high pressure valve as in claim 8 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
19. A high pressure valve as in claim 9 in which the body, the bell, the closure ring and the shell are made of magnetic material and are arranged in contact with each other forming a closed magnetic circuit in which the magnetic field created by the coil circulates.
