Abstract: An injection valve member for the closing and opening of injection orifices of a valve seat element is installed longitudinally adjustably in a central housing bore of a fuel injection valve. The opening and closing movement sequence of the injection valve member is controlled by a control device. A control piston operatively connected to the injection valve member is loaded, on the one hand, by the fuel system pressure prevailing in a high-pressure zone and, on the other hand, by the fuel control pressure in a control space. The high-pressure zone includes the central housing bore which is closed off sealingly by a control body fixed to the housing. The control space is arranged between the control body and a piston end face and is at least temporarily delimited radially by a control sleeve which is moveable transversely to the longitudinal axis of the housing.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a diesel or other form of internal combustion engine. The valve achieves a shorter than usual injection valve member, while avoiding valve member oscillation but retaining precise closing by implementing a solenoid controlled piston that controls movement of the valve. The piston in turn is acted upon by fuel system pressure from a high pressure feed line and from a control chamber, alternatively, depending upon the position of an actuating element. The control piston has an annular land that faces the control chamber and the piston is connected to the high pressure feed line through a tight sliding fit in a piston guide bore establishing a leak gap. A relief chamber is formed between the outlet side of the gap and the land. When the injection valve is open, the land reduces fuel flow from the relief chamber into the control chamber.

Abstract: The opening and closing motion of a control piston effectively connected to an injection valve element is optimally designed in that in addition to a first control space, there is a second control space whose volume and fuel control pressure can be changed by the piston motion. During the opening motion, the pressure in the second control space retards the opening procedure. During the closing motion, the control piston is additionally accelerated by the system pressure when there is a predetermined pressure in the second control space in order to effect rapid closing of the injection openings. Relief elements ensure a pressure balance between the second control space and the high-pressure region. One of the two control spaces is connected to the high-pressure region when there is a predetermined pressure in the second control space.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve (1; 2) for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine is equipped with a hydraulic control device (15; 100). The opening or closing of a control bore (61; 109) is brought about by means of an electrically controlled solenoid valve (5; 6; 7), with the result that a control pressure in a control chamber (60; 114) is influenced, thus causing the opening or closing of injection ports into the combustion chamber via a control piston (30; 110) and an injection-valve member (24). The injection event is controlled additionally by controlling the movement of a solenoid-valve pilot-valve stem (70; 125) assigned to the control bore (61; 109). Means, by which the opening movement of the injection valve member (24) takes place in two successive phases, are provided.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for intermittent fuel injection into a combustion space of a combustion engine comprises an injection valve indirectly actuated electromagnetically by a hydraulic amplifier. The opening motion of the injection valve element remains limited at low and medium injection pressure, while the opening motion of the injection valve element is substantially more rapid and the opening path of the injection valve element substantially larger at high injection pressure than it is at low to medium injection pressure. It is possible to operate the engine over the complete load and rotational speed range under optimum injection conditions.

Abstract: The injector 10 for intermittently injecting fuel under high pressure in an internal combustion engine is provided with an injector valve member (18). The movement of this injector valve member (18) to open and close a fuel discharge orifice (24) is controlled by the fuel pressure in a control chamber (40) acting on a valve piston (26) on the side opposite to the discharge orifice (24). A cylindrical member (36) surrounds the upper part (30) of the valve piston (26). Energization of a solenoid (44) results in the opening of a pilot valve (46) and a subsequent quick drop of the fuel pressure in the control chamber (40). The solenoid (44) in addition to its function as a high speed actuator for the pilot valve (46) is also used to carry and transmit the force resulting from the fuel pressure in the control chamber (40) and acting on the cylindrical member (36), on the solenoid (44) and on further members (48, 50, 52, 14).

Abstract: The fuel injectors (4) of an internal combustion engine (2) are connected to a pump (10) by means of fuel supply lines (12) which open into the high-pressure part (34) of the injectors (4). The cross-sectional area of the fuel connection (12, 34) between the pump (10) and the injection orifices of the injectors (4) is substantially bigger than the total cross-sectional area of all of the injection orifices of an injector (4). An unrestricted flow path for the pressurized fuel is provided between the pump (10) and the area immediately upstream of the injection orifices. Due to the small pressurized volume of the system, the transient behaviour of the injection system is fast and can easily be matched to the needs of a particular engine application.

Abstract: The opening and closing movement of a injector valve member (32) which closes and temporarily opens discharge orifices (52) communicating with the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, for example a diesel engine, is controlled by the fuel pressure in a control chamber (42) arranged at one end of the injector valve member (32). The fuel pressure in said control chamber (42) is controlled by two orifices (26,38) communicating with one another. One of the orifices (38) is connected to a high pressure fuel inlet (12). The other orifice (26) is closed at one end by a solenoid operated pilot valve (72). Opening of the latter results in a single fuel jet passing through the orifices (26,38) which causes the opening of the injector valve member (32).

Abstract: The movement of an injector valve member (52) which closes and temporarily opens discharge orifices (58) communicating with the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine is controlled by the fuel pressure in a control chamber (72) and by a difference in the pressure forces acting on a piston (60) having two sections (63, 69) with different diameters arranged at one end of the valve member (52). The pressure in the control chamber (72) to control the movement of the valve member (52) is controlled by means of two axially aligned orifices (67, 70) and by a solenoid valve (S) for closing and temporarily opening one of said orifices (70). A member (71) and the top end of the thicker section (69) of the piston (60) define said control chamber (72). Said thicker section (69) guides said member (71) at its inside, while the latter is not guided on its circumference (71b). The thinner section (63) of piston (60) is guided in the injector housing (44).
