Patent number: 6810857Abstract: The fuel injection system has one high-pressure fuel pump and one fuel injection valve, communicating with it, for each cylinder of the engine. The fuel pump piston is driven in by the engine and defines a pump work chamber communicating with a pressure chamber of the fuel injection valve. The fuel injection valve has a first hollow injection valve member movable in an opening direction counter to a closing force by the pressure prevailing in the pressure chamber to control at least one first injection opening. A second injection valve member is guided displaceably inside the first injection valve member and is movable counter to a closing force in an opening direction by the pressure prevailing in the pressure chamber member to control at least one second injection opening. One face is associated respectively with the first injection valve member and the second injection valve member and is acted upon by the pressure prevailing in a fuel-filled pressure chamber.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2003Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Boehland, Godehard Nentwig

Publication number: 20040188536Abstract: A fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine with direct injection includes a fuel injection device (16), which can inject the fuel directly into a combustion chamber of the engine, and which has a valve element (70). The valve element borders on a work chamber (79), and the position of the valve element (70) depends on the pressure in the work chamber (79). A pressure booster piston (54) borders on a control chamber (96) on one side and on a high-pressure chamber (76) on the other. A fuel supply can subject the control chamber (96) to various pressures. To improve the emissions performance of an engine equipped with the fuel injection system, it is proposed that the pressure booster piston (54) be integrated with the fuel injection device (16) and that the high-pressure chamber (76) be integrated with the work chamber (79).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2003Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventors: Peter Boehland, Sebastian Kanne

Patent number: 6796290Abstract: A fuel injection system having a high-pressure fuel pump and a fuel injection valve for each engine cylinder. A pump work chamber can be made to communicate with a pressure chamber of the injection valve having a valve member movable by pressure in the pressure chamber to control opening of at least one injection opening. A connection of the pump with a relief chamber is controlled by a first electrically actuated control valve, and a second control valve controls the pressure in a control pressure chamber, which pressure urges the injection valve in the closing direction. A blocking valve is disposed in the connection of the pump with the pressure chamber, and the connection of the pump with the relief chamber, in which the first control valve is disposed, leads away between the pump and the blocking valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Boehland, Godehard Nentwig
