  • Publication number: 20240077051
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injector for injecting gas, in particular hydrogen, preferably for directly injecting hydrogen, comprising an injector housing for holding injector components, a valve needle movably arranged along its longitudinal axis in the injector housing and configured to selectively close or release an injection opening for the flow of hydrogen therethrough, and a valve, preferably a solenoid valve, which is adapted to transfer the valve needle into a closing or releasing state by a movement along its longitudinal axis. The injector is characterized in that the valve needle is a hollow needle adapted to pass a gas, in particular hydrogen, flowing through the injection port through the interior of the hollow needle.

  • Patent number: 11542902
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connecting piece for a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine comprising at least one high-pressure input port and at least one high-pressure output port, wherein the high-pressure input port and the high-pressure output port open into an internal high-pressure accumulator of the connecting piece and/or the injector via separate high-pressure feed channels.

  • Patent number: 11499513
    Abstract: A fuel injector having a seat plate with a passage throttle; a valve insert arranged at a first side of the seat plate; a valve guide surrounding the valve insert and adapted for slidable reception of the valve insert; a spring sheath surrounding at least a section of a jet needle arranged at a second side of the valve insert, the second side opposite the first side and the seat plate; a valve chamber fluidly connected to the passage throttle; a control chamber adapted for reception of fuel; and a line arranged in the valve insert connecting the control chamber and the valve chamber to one another, wherein the line is closeable by placement of the valve insert onto the spring sheath.

  • Publication number: 20220186698
    Abstract: The injector unit according to the disclosure comprises a seat plate with a through opening extending through the seat plate, an armature element which can be placed onto the seat plate, in order to close the through opening, a spring element pushing the armature element in the direction of the seat plate, in order to close the through opening, an electromagnet designed to load the armature element with a force, in order to lift the armature element from the seat plate, and a stop for limiting a stroke of the armature element in a state in which it is lifted from the seat plate. The injector unit is characterized by a control unit designed to reduce an actuating signal of the electromagnet for lifting the armature element from the seat plate before the armature element contacts the stop for the first time after being lifted from the seat plate.

  • Patent number: 11215155
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection valve for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having a housing which has a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber. In addition, the fuel injection valve has a control chamber which is divided by means of a control valve into a first and a second control chamber. The control valve in turn has a valve guide and a valve insert, wherein an outflow throttle which connects the first control chamber to the second control chamber is arranged in the valve guide. According to the invention, the connection which is formed by way of the outflow throttle between the first control chamber and the second control chamber can be interrupted temporarily in a targeted manner.

  • Publication number: 20210254590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve of a fuel injector for selectively disconnecting a high pressure region from a low pressure region of a fuel, comprising an opening in a seat plate, an armature which is designed to close the opening of the seat plate, a spring element which prestresses the armature in the direction of a position which closes the opening, and an electromagnet for lifting the armature out of the position which closes the opening into a position which releases the opening, characterized by an elastically compressible damping element for limiting an armature stroke in the case of the armature being lifted from the seat plate into the releasing position.
