  • Patent number: 9447720
    Abstract: A device for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine with at least one injector includes an injector body equipped with a high-pressure accumulator, a nozzle needle axially displaceably guided in the injector and surrounded by a nozzle chamber, a high-pressure line connecting the high-pressure accumulator to the nozzle chamber, and a resonator line arranged in parallel with the high-pressure line and communicating with the nozzle chamber and opening into the high-pressure accumulator via a resonator throttle. The resonator line and the high-pressure line, at least in their sections adjacent the high-pressure accumulator, are formed in a retaining body which, on its end face, is screwed into the accumulator pipe forming the high-pressure accumulator.

  • Patent number: 8839765
    Abstract: An apparatus for injecting fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine includes an injection nozzle (5) having an axially displaceable nozzle needle (17) to which the pressure present in a control chamber (13) when filled with fuel, can be applied in the axial direction to control the opening and closing movements of the needle. The pressure in the control camber (13) is controlled via a solenoid valve (7) opening or closing at least one inlet or outlet duct for fuel. A magnetic coil (28) cooperates with an armature (27) and a valve-closing member is coupled to the armature (27) and that can be pressed against a valve seat (15). The armature (27) is disposed in an armature chamber (19) into which the inlet or outlet duct (14) opens. The magnetic coil (28) is covered by a metal protective plate (30) on the side of the armature chamber.

  • Patent number: 6565013
    Abstract: The invention relates to a common rail injector having an injector housing (2), which communicates via a fuel inlet (3) with a central high-pressure reservoir, which is supplied with fuel from a fuel tank, which fuel, as a function of the position of a 3/2-way magnet valve (4), passes into a high-pressure bore (5) of an injection nozzle (6), and the 3/2-way magnet valve (4) has a control piston (14), which can be moved back and forth between a closed and an open valve position and which on one of its two ends is coupled with an armature (15) and whose other end projects into a pressureless chamber (9), and in the open valve position the fuel inlet (3) communicates with the high-pressure bore (5) of the injection nozzle (6), and in the closed valve position, the fuel inlet (3) is closed by the control piston (14) and the high-pressure bore (5) of the injection nozzle (6) communicates with a fuel outlet (12) and with the pressureless chamber (9).

  • Patent number: 6431148
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines, having a high-pressure collection chamber (common rail), which can be filled with fuel by a high-pressure pump and which communicates via injection lines with injection valves that protrude into the combustion chamber of the engine to be supplied, the opening and closing motions of the injection valves each being controlled by an electrically triggered control valve. The control valve is embodied as a 3/2-way valve which connects a high-pressure conduit, discharging at an injection port of the injection valve, with the injection line or a relief line. On the control valve member of the control valve, a hydraulic work chamber that can be filled with high fuel pressure is provided, which can be opened into a relief conduit in order to adjust the set position of the control valve member of the control valve.

  • Patent number: 5178110
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for injection internal combustion engines comprising a main injection plunger and a preinjection plunger, which is arranged coaxially with the latter and separated from the latter, and has a smaller diameter. The preinjection plunger is driven non-positively by the main injection plunger to make stroke movements against the force of at least one spring, which holds the preinjection plunger to bear against the main injection plunger. During the main injection, the working chamber of the preinjection plunger is connected to the working chamber of the main injection plunger, so that the preinjection plunger adds an injection portion to the main injection amount after termination of the preinjection and the spray interval, and the fuel pressure occurring in the working chamber of the preinjection plunger supports the action of the spring.
