  • Patent number: 12140112
    Abstract: The fuel injection valve has a hydraulic control device for controlling the axial movement of the injection valve member. The stem of the intermediate valve member of mushroom-shaped configuration of the intermediate valve is guided in the guide recess of the intermediate part. In the open position, the intermediate valve member opens up a second connection between a high-pressure fuel inlet and a valve chamber and, in the closed position, the intermediate valve member shuts off the second connection between the high-pressure fuel inlet and the valve chamber. In the closed position of the intermediate valve member, the head of the intermediate valve member lies with a side facing toward the intermediate part against the intermediate valve seat via a first sealing surface, which runs around the stem or the guide recess at a first radial spacing so as to form a first annular sealing surface which is continuous in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 10557447
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve (10) comprises an intermediate valve with a mushroom-shaped intermediate valve member (78). The shaft (76) of the intermediate valve member (78) is guided with a sliding fit in the guiding passage (74) of an intermediate component (66). An annular space (120) is defined between the shaft (76) and the head (80) of the intermediate valve member (78) and the intermediate component (66), and a high-pressure inlet (86) opens into the annular space, which is formed by an inner annular space (108) and by a split ring space (118). The split ring space (118) is defined between the head (80) and the intermediate component (66), and is also radially outwardly defined by a sealing bead (112). The adhesion force between the intermediate valve member (78) and the intermediate component (66), which acts against the opening motion of the injection valve member (56), is minimized.

  • Patent number: 7603984
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high-pressure accumulator injection system (10) for an internal combustion engine, preferably a diesel engine. Said injection system (10) comprises a number of injection valves (18) which are connected to a high-pressure conveying device (12) via fuel pipes (16, 14). A reservoir (22) and a check valve encompassing a bypass throttle (24) that is connected in parallel are assigned to each injection valve (18). Said check valve which is assigned to each injection valve (18) and encompasses a bypass throttle (24) that is connected in parallel allows the accumulator injection system (10) to perform stable and reproducible injection processes with a favorable pressure curve during each injection process even when the discrete reservoirs (22) are provided with an unusually low volume. The reservoirs (22) can be integrated in the housing of the injection valves (18). The inventive injection system dispenses with the need for a complex common rail.

  • Patent number: 7591436
    Abstract: The movement of an injection valve member, which can be longitudinally displaced and guided in a housing and which is used to close and release injection openings, is controlled of a hydraulic control device which comprises a control body which is maintained in a central bore on the periphery thereof and which is provided with a control duct which is connected to a control area on a lower front-surface side of the control body and which is sealed on another upper front-surface side of the control body and which can be connected to a low pressure area by a pilot valve.

  • Patent number: 7513241
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injection valve for intermittent fuel injection into the combustion chamber of internal combustion engines. A needle-shaped injection valve member (34) is arranged in the high-pressure fuel chamber (30) adjacent to the injection valve seat (32), said injection valve member co-operating with the injection valve seat (32) and defining, in a piston-type manner, the cylinder chamber (36) which is connected to the high-pressure inlet (26). The booster piston (28) is controlled by means of the control valve (34) embodied as a flat seat valve, increasing the pressure of the fuel in the high-pressure fuel chamber (30) for an injection, and thus lifting the injection valve member from the injection valve seat. In this way, the injection is carried out with increased pressure.
