  • Publication number: 20240125294
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, in particular for directly injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine. The fuel injection valve includes a solenoid, an armature acted upon in a closing direction by a return spring through the solenoid, and a valve needle connected to the armature in force-locking fashion for actuating a valve closing body, which together with a valve seat surface forms a sealing seat. An adjustment element for adjusting the spring force of a return spring is arranged in a connecting sleeve serving the inlet side fuel supply. The adjustment element is bounded outwardly by a thin-walled sleeve. The sleeve includes an axially aligned sleeve jacket and a radially extending sleeve base. The wall thickness of the sleeve base is reinforced relative to the wall thickness of the sleeve jacket of the sleeve.

  • Patent number: 11852106
    Abstract: A valve includes an electromagnetic actuator, which has an armature in an armature space and guided on a valve needle operable by the actuator using the armature. A first and a second stop element that interact with a first and second end face, respectively, of the armature are situated on the valve needle. The armature has a spring receptacle, which is open towards the first end face of the armature, and into which a spring is inserted. The armature has at least one fluid channel, which, during operation, allows fluid to pass through between first and second regions of the armature space at the first and second end faces, respectively, of the armature. The fluid channel incorporates at least part of the spring receptacle. Sections of the fluid channel run radially outwards along a direction oriented from the first to the second end face and coaxial to a longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 11359589
    Abstract: A valve for metering a fluid is described, which is used, in particular, as a fuel injector for internal combustion engines, including an electromagnetic actuator and a valve needle actuatable by the actuator, an armature of the actuator being guided on valve needle, a stop element which limits a movement of the armature relative to the valve needle being situated on the valve needle, and the armature including a spring receptacle which is open toward the stop element and in which a spring supported on the stop element is inserted. The valve needle is guided via the armature and/or the stop element along a longitudinal axis of a housing. Furthermore, as viewed along the longitudinal axis, a length of the spring receptacle is smaller than a spring length of the spring in the non-actuated initial state.

  • Publication number: 20210222657
    Abstract: A fuel injector including an especially precisely aligned valve needle. The fuel injector includes an excitable actuator for actuating a valve closure element, which forms a sealing seat together with a valve seat surface formed on the valve seat body, and has injection orifices, which are developed downstream from the valve seat surface. The valve closure element is spherical and, as a part of a valve needle which is axially movable along a valve longitudinal axis, is fixedly connected to a pin-shaped solid valve needle shaft. A contact region of the valve needle shaft and the valve closure element is situated radially outside the valve longitudinal axis and surrounds it in the form of a ring. The fuel injector is particularly suitable for the direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition.
