Patent number: 7500648Abstract: A fuel injector has a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive actuator, which actuates a valve-closure member cooperating with a valve-seat surface a sealing seat. An hydraulic coupler includes a master piston, a slave piston, and a coupler volume formed in-between, the coupler volume being connected to a compensating chamber via a throttle. An elastic flexible section delimits the compensating chamber at least partially, and the coupler volume, the throttle, and the compensating chamber are filled with an hydraulic medium. The flexible section exerts a pressure on the hydraulic medium due to prestressing, and the force of a compression spring, which is braced either directly and/or via fixed components on the slave piston and the master piston, is directed with an initial stress in such a way that the force enlarges the coupler volume.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2004Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Werner Kammerer, Klaus Noller, Hubert Stier, Dietmar Schmieder, Michael Huebel, Thomas Gerschwitz, Christian Leitner
