Publication number: 20220003156Abstract: A device for injecting water into a combustion chamber or into an intake tract of an internal combustion engine includes a rail and at least one injection valve connected to the rail. The connection is produced by means of a rail cup, which surrounds the injection valve at the rail-side end of the injection valve. The injection valve has a feed channel open toward the rail, in which feed channel at least some portions of an insert are received in order to reduce the feed cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2019Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Martin Riegel, Petr Novak, Radek Malec

Patent number: 8777036Abstract: Reservoirs for fuel tanks, which can be filled via an opening that can be closed by a closing element, are already known. Such a closing element interacts with a sealing seat and is arranged on a bearing that is located in the region of the opening and is fixed to an edge area of the opening by at least two struts. In prior art, the opening, with the bearing and the struts, is often produced as a single-piece together with the reservoir and the base by injection molding. A disadvantage thereof is that the struts can undergo material shrinkage during production, which leads to a tension of the struts between the edge area of the opening and the bearing. This can lead to an irregular deformation and hence to an uneven sealing seat, so that the closing element does not seal in a tight manner and that the valve has a leak. in the reservoir according to the invention, the sealing of the opening is improved by at least one strut not having a rectilinear form, thus obtaining elastic expansion compensation.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2007Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Radek Malec, Vladimir Ptacek, Martin Ptacek, Martin Sykora, Josef Jarosik, Miloslav Gabris

Patent number: 8522753Abstract: Holding elements are known for holding an assembly in a holder, comprising a holding section for engaging behind the assembly and holding members that are provided on the holding section for holding the assembly in the holder. It is disadvantageous that the holding element is comparatively expensive to produce. For example, it is configured very rigidly in the holding direction, which is achieved with a comparatively high amount of material. This results in high production costs. In addition, in the case of very high mechanical loads the detent connection can detach due to torque acting on the detent hooks. The holding element according to the invention is simplified, thereby lowering the production costs. According to the invention, the holding section has a flat configuration viewed in the holding direction, and the holding members are angled in relation to the holding section and configured as elastically resilient holding arms.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2008Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Radek Malec, Vladimir Ptacek, Martin Ptacek, Martin Sykora, Josef Jarosik, Miloslav Gabris

Patent number: 8511340Abstract: Suction jet pumps include a driving line which leads via a jet outlet into a suction chamber, where the suction chamber has a suction opening which interacts with a valve element and through which fluid is sucked into the suction chamber. The valve element together with the suction opening forms a suction valve. The suction jet pump is driven by a driving stream flowing via the driving line. The suction jet pump is arranged in a storage tank and sucks fuel out of a fuel tank into the storage tank. The driving line has a bypass opening which leads into the suction chamber and is arranged in such a manner that the bypass stream thereof acts on the valve element.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Pavel Smid, Radek Malec, Karsten Scholz, Jiri Kadlec

Patent number: 8353422Abstract: Fuel delivery modules are already known having a tank flange and having an accumulator pot which is connected to the tank flange by means of at least one guide rod and which is mounted so as to be axially movable along the guide rod, where the guide rod is pressed with one end into a receptacle of the tank flange. It is disadvantageous that the receptacle is expanded over the entire longitudinal extent as the guide rod is pressed in. As a result of tolerance fluctuations in production, excessively high pressures can occur in the receptacle here, which pressures can cause cracks in the receptacle. This leads to rejects and therefore to high production costs. In the fuel delivery module according to the invention, damage to the receptacle during assembly is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Radek Malec, Vladimir Ptacek, Martin Ptacek, Martin Sykora, Josef Jarosik, Miloslav Gabris

Patent number: 8172556Abstract: Devices for supplying fuel are already known, having a supply unit which has a pump housing connected to an electrical ground and is supported on a pump mount. It is disadvantageous that during operation, the pump mount can become electrostatically charged and has no device for electrostatic discharging during operation. The invention provides an especially simple and economical grounding device for the pump mount. In particular, a charge diverter is connected to the pump housing via a grounding element, and contacts a surface of the pump mount.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Radek Malec, Vladimir Ptacek, Martin Ptacek, Martin Sykora, Josef Jarosik, Miloslav Gabris

Publication number: 20110000468Abstract: Devices for feeding fuel are already known which have a storage pot which can be filled by a suction jet pump. The storage pot has a pot base with an intake opening which opens into an intake chamber of the suction jet pump and through which the suction jet pump sucks in fuel. The intake chamber is fluidically connected to the storage pot via a mixer duct. A non-return valve is provided in the intake opening in order to prevent fuel from back-flowing. Considerable flow turbulence occurs within the suction jet pump, which flow turbulence can lead, in particular in the case of heated fuel, referred to as hot petrol, to the formation of gas bubbles. The delivery capacity of the suction jet pump is considerably reduced by the gas bubbles, with the result that under certain operating conditions the storage pot is not sufficiently filled and can run empty. In the device according to the invention, the flow turbulence is reduced.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2008Publication date: January 6, 2011Inventors: Radek Malec, Petr Janis, Zdenek Belda, Juergen Gras

The valve element together with the suction opening forms a suction valve. The suction jet pump is driven by a driving stream flowing via the driving line. The suction jet pump is arranged in a storage tank and sucks fuel out of a fuel tank into the storage tank. At low levels in the fuel tank, air may sometimes be sucked up and conducted into the storage tank, as a result of which foaming occurs in the storage tank. However, the large volume of the foam causes fuel to be displaced, which may result in partial emptying of the storage tank. This effect is also referred to as dynamic leakage. A characteristic curve of the suction jet pump that represents the suction power as a function of the driving stream has a comparatively steep gradient.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2008Publication date: December 23, 2010Inventors: Pavel Smid, Radek Malec, Karsten Scholz, Jiri Kadlec
