  • Patent number: 6729553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for injecting a fluid, which is at high pressure, through an injection nozzle and an externally actuated actuating device received with prestressing on a pump element. In the pump element, a control element triggerable by a magnetic actuator is received, with which high-pressure lines can be made to communicate with one another. The control element is assigned two spring means, which generate a closing force that on the high-pressure side closes the control edge of the switchable control element and/or open a control edge to a low-pressure chamber.

  • Patent number: 6712296
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a pistonlike valve member, axially movable counter to the closing force of a spring, in the bore of a valve body and that controls at least one injection opening. A control chamber surrounding the valve member is disposed between a guided portion of the valve member and an oil leakage chamber that receives the spring; the valve member communicates with an inlet conduit via a throttling annular gap and with the oil leakage chamber via a control bore. In the closing motion of the valve member away from the valve seat, fuel is positively displaced out of the control chamber into the oil leakage chamber by a pressure face. In a portion of the valve member stroke, the control chamber is closed, except for a throttle gap formed between a cylindrical portion and the control bore, toward the oil leakage chamber, and the fuel pressure in the control chamber rises, since the outflow can now take place only via the throttle gap.

  • Patent number: 6561165
    Abstract: The invention relates to a common rail injector for injecting fuel in a common rail injection system of an internal combustion engine, in particular a large diesel engine, having an injector housing which communicates with a central high-pressure reservoir and in which a nozzle needle can move axially counter to the initial stress of a nozzle spring which is contained in a nozzle spring chamber, in order to adjust the injection onset and the injection quantity as a function of the position of a 3/2-way valve. In order to improve the damping behavior in a common rail injection system, an injector pressure reservoir is integrated into the injector housing and communicates with the central high-pressure reservoir independent of the position of the 3/2-way valve.

  • Patent number: 6336443
    Abstract: An injection pump for generating high fuel pressure in fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, having a pump piston, which reciprocates in a cylinder having a control bore in order to aspirate fuel from a suction chamber into a high-pressure chamber and act upon the fuel with high pressure. The supply onset of the injection pump is defined by when an upper control edge, which is embodied on the pump piston and is oriented toward the high-pressure chamber passes the control bore, and the end of supply by the injection pump is defined by when a lower control edge, which is embodied on the pump piston and is remote from the high-pressure chamber, passes the control bore. The invention sets forth an injection pump in which the supply onset can be set freely for two different operating modes of the engine.

  • Patent number: 5538187
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines having a high pressure accumulation chamber, which can be filled by a high pressure fuel pump and from which high pressure lines lead to the individual injection valves. Control valves for controlling the high pressure injection at the injection valves, as well as an additional pressure storage chamber between these control valves and the high pressure accumulation chamber, are inserted in the individual high pressure lines. For a more rapid pressure relief of the injection valve at the end of injection, the valve member of the control valve has a reaspiration collar, which additionally constitutes a throttle to maintain a residual pressure in the pressure line to the injection valve, which throttle precedes the flat seat valve, which opens the communication of the injection valve to a relief chamber.

Control valves for controlling the high pressure injection at the injection valves, as well as an additional pressure storage chamber between these control valves and the high pressure accumulation chamber are inserted in the individual high pressure lines. In order to be able to carry out a shaping of the course of injection at the injection valve, the control valve has a hydraulic throttle segment disposed at an additional collar on the valve member as well as a damping chamber formed between the collar and a flat valve seat, whose throttled relief delays the opening motion of the valve member at the onset of injection.

  • Patent number: 5497750
    Abstract: A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines having a high pressure accumulation chamber, which can be filled by a high pressure fuel pump, from which chamber high pressure lines lead to the individual injection valves. Control valves for controlling the high pressure injection at the injection valves are formed in the individual high pressure lines. Additional pressure storage chambers are inserted in the individual high pressure lines as well, between these control valves and the high pressure accumulation chamber. In order to prevent the high system pressure from continually contacting the injection valves, the control valve is embodied so that during the injection pauses, it closes the communication between the injection valve and the pressure storage chamber and opens a communication between the injection valve and a relief chamber.
