  • Publication number: 20150136879
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7721712
    Abstract: A pressure regulating valve in a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines for regulating the pressure in a fuel reservoir in which the operating pressure is adjusted by the dimensioning of an adjusting disk, whose function-determining axial height is ascertained with high precision by a force measuring system and by a travel measuring system by way of ascertaining a spacing between an end face of a valve member of the pressure regulating valve and a reference face of a housing of the pressure regulating valve.

  • Publication number: 20050056803
    Abstract: A pressure-control valve for regulating the pressure in a fuel accumulator having a piston-shaped valve member guided axially displaceable in a bore and acts on a closing element which can be pressed against a valve seat. The valve member constitutes an armature of an electromagnet which can be supplied with electrical current. The valve is additionally equipped with a mechanical spring which presses the valve member in the direction toward the valve seat and whose initial spring tension is such that the spring pressure corresponds to the maximum desired pressure in the fuel accumulator. In this way a pressure is generated at the valve outlet and therefore an injection process is made possible, even in case of a failure of the electromagnetic regulation.

  • Patent number: 5709195
    Abstract: A fuel injection device with a pump plunger which is driven in reciprocation and a working space which is enclosed by the pump plunger, and is connected to an injection valve connected directly to the pump housing. To control the fuel injection quantity and the injection instant, a solenoid valve is provided which is arranged in a fuel passage that is connected to the pump working space and serves for the filling and/or relief of the pump working space. To reduce the volumes subjected to the high pressure, the fuel passage is arranged in such a way that the fuel passage intersects the cylinder bore which accommodates the pump working space, and the solenoid valve is arranged at the entry of this passage.
