Abstract

A fuel distributor, which is in particular used as a fuel distribution rail for mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engines, including a base body, at which at least one high-pressure inlet and multiple high-pressure outlets are provided. An insert element is furthermore provided that is situated in an interior of the base body. In the interior, the insert element separates an inflow area, which extends from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets, at least essentially from a damping area. The insert element is designed as a thin-walled insert element that forms a divider extending through the interior at least from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets.

Claims (15)

1. A fuel distributor, comprising:

a base body having at least one high-pressure inlet and multiple high-pressure outlets; and

at least one insert element that is situated in an interior of the base body, the insert element separating, in the interior, an inflow area, which extends from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets, from a damping area;

wherein the insert element is a thin-walled insert element that forms a divider extending through the interior at least from the high-pressure inlet to the high-pressure outlets,

wherein the insert element is formed in such a way that, in an assembled state, the insert element is situated in the interior of the base body under a pre-tension applied against an inner wall of the base body,

wherein at least one through-opening, at which the inflow area is connected to the damping area, is provided at the insert element in an area of the high-pressure outlets,

wherein a high-pressure connection is situated at a wall point of the base body adjacent to the damping area and a fuel line is provided that extends through the damping area and at least to the insert element and that connects the high-pressure connection to the high-pressure inlet of the flow area.

2. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the fuel distributor is a fuel distribution rail for a mixture-compressing, spark-ignited compression engine.

3. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the base body is a tubular base body and the divider formed by the insert element in the inflow area separates the inflow area at least in sections from the damping area viewed in a profile perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the base body.

4. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein at least one through opening, at which the inflow area is locally connected to the damping area, is provided at the insert element.

5. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the insert element is situated in the base body in such a way that a connection of the inflow area to the damping area takes place at least locally between an inner wall of the base body and the insert element.

6. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the insert element is connected at least locally to an inner wall of the base body.

7. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the insert element is configured in such a way that the insert element rests at least predominantly at an inner wall of the base body at least at the inflow area.

8. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 7 , wherein the insert element has an outer side, at which the insert element rests partially at the inner wall of the base body and/or the insert element has an outer wall facing the inflow area in one part, the insert element resting at the inner wall of the base body in other parts of the outer wall.

9. The fuel distributor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the base body is a tubular base body, a high-pressure connection is situated at an end piece provided at an end of the tubular base body, and an eccentric fuel guidance to the high-pressure inlet of the inflow area is in the end piece.
