The valve needle (9) has a first metal guide section (9a) guided in a swirl insert (14), a second metal guide section (9b) guided in the insulating body (6) and an insulating section (9c) arranged between the guide sections (9a, 9b).

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine, in particular for injecting fuel directly into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. The fuel injection valve has a magnet coil, an armature that can be pulled by the magnet coil in a direction of lift against a first return spring, and a valve needle. The valve needle has a first stop surface for the armature, which can be moved relative to the valve needle. The armature is acted upon by a second return spring. In addition, a stationary second stop surface for the armature is provided. The second return spring acts upon the armature in a direction opposite to the lift and in an inoperative position, when the magnet coil is not energized, and holds the armature in contact with the second stop surface so that a distance between the armature and the first stop surface provided on the valve needle is predefined.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines includes a core which serves as the internal pole is made of a soft magnetic powder composite material. This powder composite material is an iron powder provided with a polymer additive, where the individual iron particles are coated with an electrically insulating layer. Such a powder composite material ensures a substantial minimization of eddy currents in the magnetic circuit in comparison with materials known previously, such as chromium steel, which are usually used as magnetic materials. The core which is mechanically sensitive and is sensitive to fuel is encapsulated at least with respect to the parts of the injection valve carrying the fuel. A sleeve passes through an internal longitudinal opening in the core which permits fuel flow in its interior and is fixedly attached to a pole part which seals the core toward the bottom. The core and the magnetic coil are thus not exposed to any wetting by fuel.

Abstract: A thermal insulating sleeve for a fuel injection valve, which can be inserted in a mounting hole of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, has a sleeve body which at least partially envelops a nozzle body of the fuel injection valve. At the injection end of the sleeve body there is a folded-back section, in which the sleeve body has a two-layered configuration, and there is a conical section, which tapers in the direction toward the injection end and which in the assembled state fits tightly against the tapered section of the nozzle body.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve, in particular a high-pressure injection valve for the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a compressed mixture, externally ignited internal combustion engine, has in a guide and seat area provided at the downstream end of the valve which area is formed by three disk-shaped elements. A swirl element is nested between a guide element and a valve seat element. The guide element, which can move radially in the assembled valve and which has an inner guide opening, serves to guide an axially movable valve needle which extends through it, while a valve closing section of the valve needle acts in concert with a valve seat surface of the valve seat element. The guide element is spring-loaded through a compression spring which acts upon it.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve, in particular, a high-pressure injection valve, for injecting fuel directly into a combustion chamber of a compressed-mixture internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a guide and seating area formed by three disc-shaped elements provided at the downstream end of the valve. A swirl element is embedded between a guide element and a valve seat element. The guide element is used to guide a valve needle which passes through it and can move in the axial direction, while a valve closing segment of the valve needle interacts with a valve seat surface of the valve seat element. The swirl element has an inner opening area with multiple swirl channels which are not joined to the outer circumference of the swirl element. The entire opening area extends completely across the axial thickness of the swirl element.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes a valve needle passing through the valve opening to the valve closing body arranged on the spray outlet end. A closing spring prestresses the valve needle in a direction opposite its opening direction aimed in the direction of spraying, so that the valve closing body is in contact with the valve seat on the spray outlet end when the fuel injection valve is closed. The armature is kept engaged and in contact with the valve needle by means of a bearing spring which acts in the direction of opening by means of a connecting piece arranged between the armature and the valve needle. The connecting piece includes a suitable insulation element for providing insulation against high voltage.

Abstract: An installation device for installing a fuel injection valve in a receiving bore of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. The installation device has a sheath element which at least partially encloses the fuel injection valve. The installation device can be introduced, together with the fuel injection valve, into the receiving bore. An inwardly angled first collar section, which can be nonpositively joined to a receiving section of the fuel injection valve receiving the first collar section in order to transfer both a pressing force serving to press the fuel injection valve into the receiving bore and a pulling force in the opposite direction, is provided on a first end of the sheath element. An outwardly angled second collar section, which offers an application surface for a tool for applying both the pressing force and the pulling force, is shaped onto a second end of the sheath element located opposite to the first end.

Abstract: A fuel injection valve includes at least two throttling constrictions. The fuel is guided in so that it flows through one of the throttling constrictions with a flow component directed away from the spray orifice. Thus, at least partially compensating opposing force is exerted on the valve needle or an element (e.g., an armature) with a non-positive connection to the valve needle.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an arrangement for detecting the position of an accelerator pedal and/or a power-determining element of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The arrangement has at least two measuring devices as well as monitoring means which check the function of these measuring devices on the basis of the measuring signals thereof. In addition, a further measuring device in the form of a switch element is provided which likewise generates a signal representative of the position of an accelerator pedal and/or power-determining element of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. A microcomputer selects on the basis of all three measuring signals at least one of the measuring signals for controlling the drive power of the engine in a motor vehicle. The switching element is a Hall switch.
