  • Patent number: 4394823
    Abstract: To positively retain a signal transducer coil within an insert ring, axially stacked on a fuel injection nozzle assembly, in which the induction coil provides an output signal upon axial reciprocating movement of the valve needle element of the injection valve, the opening is made large enough to receive a holding sleeve with an inwardly extending flange, the holding sleeve fitting over the induction coil and pressing the coil against the bottom wall of the opening. The holding sleeve, itself, preferably made of magnetic metal, is adhesively secured in the opening which, preferably, has a non-cylindrical shape, either extending conically or formed with a ring groove of, preferably, sawtooth cross section.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4362050
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle is proposed, intended in particular for Diesel engines, in which an induction coil is installed in an intermediate disc. The coil core is embodied by a pressure element and a valve needle in force-locking contact therewith. An annular permanent magnet is secured either on the pressure bolt or on the intermediate plate. This embodiment of an injection nozzle, as a so-called needle stroke transducer, is used when it is desired to ascertain the duration of injection and especially the onset of injection.

  • Patent number: 4340181
    Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines, in which the valve needle together with the valve seat of the nozzle body forms an electric switch which by its opening and closing indicates the injection onset and the injection duration. A spring-elastic conductive element is disposed inside the closing spring and connects the attachment piece with the valve needle.

  • Patent number: 4335601
    Abstract: An electro-mechanical switch, which is part of an electrical current circuit, is disposed in a fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines. The first switch contact is secured via an insulating body of a pressure bolt of the nozzle needle; the second switch contact is held pressed against the first switch contact by a contact spring supported on the pressure bolt, so that the portion of the electrical current circuit comprising the nozzle is closed. At the beginning of the opening stroke of the nozzle needle, the second switch contact, because of its inertia of mass, briefly fails to follow the first contact so that the electrical current circuit is interrupted; it is closed by the followup of the first switch contact caused by the contact spring. The switch can be inserted inside a normal injection nozzle without great expense.
