Patent number: 9803606Abstract: A fuel injector for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines has an excitable actuator for activating a valve closing element, which forms a sealing seat together with a valve face implemented on a valve seat element. Multiple spray-discharge openings are implemented in the valve seat element downstream from the valve face. The fuel injector is distinguished in that the spray-discharge openings include at least one upstream first spray-discharge opening section and one downstream second spray-discharge opening section having a different opening width and a wall area of the second spray-discharge opening section of all spray-discharge openings on a semi-circle runs either parallel or at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the valve seat element having the spray-discharge openings. The valve seat element is manufactured using metal injection molding methods.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: Robert Bosch GMBHInventors: Andreas Schrade, Dieter Maier, Gerhard Stransky

Publication number: 20150136879Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector having an electromagnet 2 which contains a magnet core 6 and a coil 7 and which further has an armature 9 that is guided on an armature pin 8. The armature pin 8 is guided in a guide sleeve 11 which projects into the electromagnet 2. The fuel injector further has an injector body 4 with at least one injection opening which is introduced into the injector body 4 and which is controlled by an injector needle 5. The aim of the invention is to provide a fuel injector which is functionally improved with respect to the switching times of the fuel injector and the forces that can be generated in the fuel injector while simultaneously simplifying a guide sleeve for an armature pin. This is achieved in that the guide sleeve 11 is integrated into the magnet core 6 and is connected to the magnet core 6 in a formfitting or bonded manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Jochen Rager, Andreas Buergel, Joachim Fleuren, Bernd Reinsch, Johannes Schmid, Dieter Maier, Helmut Sattmann, David Holzer, Andreas Stimmeder, Dieter Deutsch
