  • Patent number: 6964266
    Abstract: The invention relates to a 3/2-port directional-control valve for controlling the injection of fuel in a common rail injection system of an internal combustion engine, with a first switched position in which an injection nozzle is connected to a fuel return and with a second switched position in which the injection nozzle is connected to a high-pressure fuel reservoir. The beginning of the injection takes place in a pressure-controlled manner, whereas the end of the injection takes place in a stroke-controlled manner.

  • Patent number: 6769634
    Abstract: In a fuel injection nozzle having a nozzle body which body has one first and one second group of injection ports, one first and one second nozzle needle, and one separate pressure chamber for each nozzle needle, so that the injection needles are adjustable independently of one another between a closed position, in which the injection ports associated with the corresponding nozzle needle are closed, and an injection position, in which the corresponding injection ports are opened, a free choice of injection cross sections is to be made possible, while the design is simple. To that end, it is provided that the two nozzle needles adjoin one another.

  • Patent number: 6764058
    Abstract: A control valve and a fuel injection valve provided with same should be produced, in which it is possible to switch from a first operating state to a second operating state inexpensively and with short switching times, without requiring a hydraulic control line. To this end, a control valve is provided, which has a valve housing, a pressure chamber filled with electrorheological fluid, a displacing element that can slide in the valve housing and protrudes into the pressure chamber, and two electrodes that can apply an electrical field to the electrorheological fluid.

  • Patent number: 6745750
    Abstract: A fuel injection system, having a fuel injection valve and a control valve, which control valve has a control valve member that is longitudinally displaceable in a control valve bore. A control valve sealing face is embodied on the control valve member; it cooperates with a control valve seat and thus controls the communication between a first pressure space and a second pressure space; the first pressure space communicates with a high-pressure collection chamber. In a valve body, a bore is embodied in which a pistonlike valve needle, with its end toward the combustion chamber, controls the opening of at least one injection opening by executing a longitudinal motion in response to the pressure in a pressure chamber; the pressure chamber communicates with the second pressure space via an inlet conduit.

  • Patent number: 6691935
    Abstract: In an injection nozzle for a fuel injection system, the opening stroke of the nozzle needle is to be limited selectively, so that different injection cross sections can be employed. To that end, the injection nozzle is provided with a nozzle body, a nozzle needle displaceable in the nozzle body, two groups of injection ports, which are uncovered as a function of an opening stroke of the nozzle needle, a piston that is connected to the nozzle needle, a stop chamber in which the piston is disposed and which is provided with an outlet, and a control valve that can open and close the outlet of the stop chamber, as a result of which the stroke of the piston in the stop chamber and thus the opening stroke of the nozzle needle can be selectively limited.

  • Patent number: 6637409
    Abstract: In a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, including an electronically triggered control valve with an axial through bore, which is divided by two valve seats into three annular chambers, to which respectively a supply line for fuel at high pressure, a high-pressure line leading away to an injection valve, and a relief line are connected, and having a control piston, which is guided in the through bore and which has two valve sealing faces cooperating with the two valve seats, respectively, the control piston according to the invention has a further valve sealing face, which cooperates with the first valve seat and whose spacing from the first valve sealing face is at least equal to the spacing between the second valve sealing face and the second valve seat when the first sealing seat is closed. A communication between the supply line and the relief line is thus reliably prevented.

  • Patent number: 6540161
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body in which a valve member is disposed, which valve member changes into a spring plate, which is disposed in a spring chamber that receives the closing spring provided with a valve stop face on an end face. A control piston is provided defining a hydraulic control chamber, which control piston protrudes into the spring chamber, whose end face toward the combustion chamber forms a stroke stop face. As a function of pressure in the control chamber, the control piston can be moved counter to the closing force of a restoring spring from a first stroke position, remote from the valve member, toward the valve member into a second stroke position, where the control piston limits the maximum opening stroke (h) of the valve member to a partial stroke (hT).

  • Publication number: 20030019959
    Abstract: In a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, having two control valves (15, 34), provided for controlling the injection event, whose valve bodies each have one magnetically attractable armature (41, 45), and having a common magnet coil (40) for the two armatures (41, 45), in a first current stage of the common magnet coil (40), only one armature (41), and in a higher second current stage both armatures (41, 45), are each attractable counter to the action of a closing force. Thus with only a single magnet drive mechanism, two valve functions can be switched via two exciter currents of different magnitudes.
