  • Patent number: 11821396
    Abstract: A fuel injector having an improved sealing of an intake nozzle with respect to the receiving opening of a fuel distribution rail. A support ring, which engages with the sealing ring on the intake side, is provided at the intake nozzle. The support ring includes a planar underside for resting on a shoulder of the intake nozzle and a V-shaped contact surface facing the sealing ring. The support ring, which is acted on by the sealing ring, is provided with the V-shaped conical contact surface for the sealing ring that ensures that in the case of increased pressures, a minor radial escape of the support ring is made possible to the radial inside and outside and thus radial gaps and an extruding of the sealing ring into same are prevented.

  • Patent number: 11092125
    Abstract: A valve, in particular, a fuel injector, has an improved sealing at its spray-side end. The fuel injector includes an excitable actuator for actuating a valve closing body, which together with a valve seat surface formed on a valve seat body forms a seal seat, and spray openings formed downstream of the valve seat surface, and a valve seat support, which accommodates the valve seat body, forms a portion of a valve housing and is fixedly connected to the valve seat body. A plastically deformable sealing element is introduced into an annular gap between the valve seat support and the valve seat body to avoid corrosion and damage of a weld seam.

  • Patent number: 11047354
    Abstract: The decoupling element is for a fuel injection device, in which a low-noise configuration is implemented, and includes at least one fuel injector and a receiving borehole in a cylinder head for the fuel injector, and the decoupling element is introduced between a valve housing of the fuel injector and a wall of the receiving borehole. The decoupling element has a bowl- or cup-shaped configuration, and includes a radially outer contact area and a radially inner contact area with which the decoupling element is radially inwardly and radially outwardly placeable against the fuel injector and a shoulder of the receiving borehole. The radially inner contact area of the decoupling element has a spherically convex contact surface whose curvature has a largely constant spherical radius. The fuel injection device is particularly suited for the direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing spark ignition internal combustion engine.

  • Patent number: 9976531
    Abstract: A valve for metering a flowing, e.g. gaseous or liquid, medium, in particular a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, is described, which valve comprises a valve housing having an inflow for the medium, a valve body having a metering opening for the medium, a join present between the valve housing and valve body, and a seal sealing the join. In order to ensure a seal that is reliable and not susceptible to cracking, in which context the material of the valve housing and valve body can be selected without restriction, the seal has a clamping ring, covering the join, that sits with a press fit on end portions, facing toward one another at the join, of the valve housing and valve body.

  • Patent number: 9709181
    Abstract: An assembly includes: a first component; a second component enclosed by the first component; a diaphragm that covers a radial gap between the first and second components and is fixed in each case in a sealed manner; and a volume of a medium that is enclosed by the first and second components and the diaphragm. For the purpose of achieving a simple filling process of the assembly with the medium at a reliable sealing of the enclosed volume, even in the case of high, swelling pressures acting upon the assembly, in one of the components a filling valve is situated that opens towards the volume, which filling valve is situated as a check valve having spring resetting in a filling channel running in the component.

  • Patent number: 9695955
    Abstract: A valve for metering fluid under pressure includes: a valve housing having an inlet opening and a metering opening for the fluid; an outward-opening valve needle pressure equalized via an elastic hollow body which is subject to the fluid pressure; and an electromagnet which lifts the valve needle up from the metering opening against the force of a valve closing spring. The valve housing is assembled from a valve tube and one valve body on the metering end and another on the inlet end, each being connected in a fluid-tight manner to the valve tube at the tube ends. The magnet pot including the enclosed solenoid coil is secured on the valve tube on the outside by the electromagnet, and the magnetic core is secured on the valve tube on the inside in such a way that it surrounds a needle section of the valve needle.

  • Patent number: 9624886
    Abstract: A hydraulic coupling is specified, particularly for fuel injectors, which has a housing pot having a pot bottom and a lateral pot surface, a piston guided axially displaceably in the housing pot, a fluid-filled coupling gap that is provided between the piston and the pot bottom, diaphragm situated on the outer side of the housing pot facing away from the piston, a compensation chamber that is bordered by the diaphragm and flow-connected to the coupling gap, and a spring element acting upon the diaphragm with an axially directed spring force. In order to achieve a low overall stiffness of the hydraulic coupling at the required specified coupling force, the spring element is developed as a spring bracket fixed to the housing pot, which lies against the diaphragm with axial prestressing in the region of the pot bottom.

  • Patent number: 9382884
    Abstract: A valve for metering fluid under pressure includes: a valve housing which has an inlet opening and a metering opening as well as a valve seat enclosing the metering opening having an outwardly pointing seat surface; a valve needle carrying a closing head; a valve-closing spring acting on the valve needle and applying the closing head to the valve seat; and an electrical actuator, which applies a compressive force to the valve needle, lifting the closing head outwardly away from the valve seat. To prevent transverse forces on the valve needle, which can cause a deflection of the valve needle, a gimbal-mounted spring disk, which is pushed onto the valve needle, is used as the valve-closing spring.
