Abstract: A high-pressure pump (1), which serves in particular as a radial or inline piston pump for fuel injection systems of air-compressing, auto-ignition internal combustion engines, comprises a cylinder head (2) and a pump assembly (6). Here, the cylinder head (2) has a cylinder bore (4) in which a pump piston (5) of the pump assembly (6) is guided. Here, the pump piston (5) delimits, in the cylinder bore (4), a pump working chamber (12). Also provided is an inlet valve (20) which is integrated into the cylinder head (2) and via which fuel can be conducted into the pump working chamber (12). Metering of the fuel conducted into the pump working chamber (12) can be achieved by actuation of the inlet valve (20). Here, full charging of the pump working chamber (12) may take place. It is however also possible for partial charging of the pump working chamber (12) to be achieved by means of suitable actuation of the inlet valve (20).

An inner valve needle is guided in the outer valve needle and controls at least one additional injection opening and is acted upon by the pressure in the control chamber at least indirectly in the direction of the valve seat.

Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle having first and second nozzle needles controlling first and second injection opening, respectively. A control chamber is connected via a throttle to a pressure chamber in which it is possible to adjust the injection pressure. A first control piston cooperating with the first needle unit includes a first control surface which can be acted on by the control pressure in the control chamber. In the closed position there is an axial play between the first control piston and the first needle unit. A second control piston cooperates with the second needle unit and can be acted on with the control pressure on a second control surface. In the closed position the second control piston rests directly or indirectly against the second nozzle needle. At middle to high pressures in the pressure chamber, both nozzle needles can close quickly. With a rapid pressure increase in the pressure chamber, the second nozzle needle can open quickly and the two nozzle needles can close quickly.
