  • Patent number: 5161779
    Abstract: A magnet system for magnet valves for controlling liquids including an electromagnet and a permanent magnet that produces magnetic fluxes, the magnetic fluxes of which are oriented opposite one another in a working air gap formed between a free-floating armature and a magnet pole. To attain a course of the force of attraction acting upon the armature that becomes negative beyond a certain excitation of the electromagnet, and to reduce the trigger power for the electromagnet, a magnetic opposite pole is disposed on the side of the armature remote from the working air gap, forming a second working air gap, which is coupled to the magnet housing, optionally via a stray air gap, via a flow guide element annularly engaging the permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 5058625
    Abstract: A valve for the intermittent introduction of fuel, in particular gaseous fuel, into an intake tube of an internal combustion engine, which is provided with an electrically actuatable valve member disposed in a valve housing. The valve comprises a slide valve having a substantially cosine-like metering motion, and a metering conduit that opens only after a predetermined portion of the metering motion beyond a position of repose of the valve member is provided. As a result, the control edges are overtaken very fast, and a steep rise or drop in the insufflated fuel quantity takes place. A good approximation to the ideal course, which is equivalent to the course of the aspirated air quantity, is therefore achieved.

  • Patent number: 5040514
    Abstract: An arrangement for injecting fuel for an internal combustion engine has at least one inductive injection valve which is switch controlled via a controllable semiconductor switch. This injection valve is provided with an inductive or capacitive oscillator component for atomizing fuel. During the switching control operation, electrical energy from the inductive injection valve is fed into the oscillator component for exciting its oscillating movement each time the semiconductor switch is opened. On the one hand, with this arrangement no separate high frequency generator is required for the oscillator component while, on the other hand, a second transistor is not required for the switch-controlled output stage with a rapid discharge without loss being possible at least in principle.

  • Patent number: 4795098
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve that serves in particular in inject fuel into the intake tube of internal combustion engines operating with fuel injection systems. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing core with a surrounding magnetic coil and a guide diaphgram secured across the valve housing, the guide diaphragm urges an armature/valve closing element, embodied in one piece in the form of a spherical section, toward a valve seat. The guide diaphragm loosely engages a flat bearing face of the armature, so that the valve closing element can automatically center itself with respect to the valve seat. Upon a reciprocating movement of the armature/valve closing element, the frictional force between the guide diaphragm and the bearing face prevents a radial movement of the armature/valve closing element.

  • Patent number: 4639822
    Abstract: An arrangement for rapid switching of an electromagnetic load includes a series arrangement of a switching device with the electromagnetic load, a relief diode arranged in parallel with the electromagnetic load, and a capacitor arranged in parallel to the switching means. Another switching device is arranged parallel to the capacitor and controls the operation of the latter, while an additional switching device is arranged in series with the relief diode and controls the operation of such relief diode. An operating arrangement for controlling the various switching devices issues various control signals at least some of which depend on electric signals derived from the switching arrangement. During the operation of the switching arrangement, the operating arrangement selectively makes the various switching devices conductive and non-conductive in a predetermined sequence to enhance the speed of switching of the electromagnetic load between its two end states.
