Publication number: 20080290196Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector having a solenoid valve for actuating an armature assembly which is configured in one piece or a plurality of pieces. A closing element is actuated via this in order to relieve the pressure in a control chamber. The armature assembly is guided in an armature guide which is fastened in the injector body by means of a valve-clamping screw. In a fixing region in the injector body, the armature guide has at least one circumferential recess which allows for deformation of the fixing region during fastening by the valve-clamping screw.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2006Publication date: November 27, 2008Inventors: Andreas Rettich, Stefan Haug, Markus Rueckle, Stephan Amelang

Patent number: 6892965Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injection valve including a valve body and a bore, embodied as a blind bore, whose bottom face is oriented toward the combustion chamber, and a conical valve seat having at least one injection port is disposed, is embodied on the bottom face. In the bore, a pistonlike valve member, which is longitudinally displaceable counter to a closing force, is disposed and has a valve member tip, which in the closing position of the valve member comes to rest on the valve seat. A first conical face and a second conical face, disposed toward the combustion chamber toward the first conical face, are embodied on the valve member tip, and the cone angle of the first conical face is smaller than the cone angle of the valve seat, which in turn is smaller than the cone angle of the second conical face.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2001Date of Patent: May 17, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rainer Haeberer, Markus Ohnmacht, Wilhelm Christ, Ralf Maier, Stefan Haug, Wolfgang Fleiner, Markus Rueckle

Patent number: 6796512Abstract: The invention relates to an injector body for a fuel injection system, in which the injector body has a substantially cylindrically shaped valve chamber, into which fuel can be introduced at high pressure via an inlet bore, which discharges through an inlet opening in the valve chamber. To compensate for the high local notch tensile stresses in the circumferential direction of the valve chamber, it is proposed that at least in the region of the inlet opening, the valve chamber be provided with bulges, each adjacent the inlet opening in the circumferential direction. These bulges bring about a major compensation for the notch tensile stresses and thus increase the high-pressure strength.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Martin Grieb, Stefan Haug

Patent number: 6764061Abstract: A solenoid valve is for controlling an injection valve of an internal combustion engine, including a housing part, an electromagnet having a magnetic coil and a magnetic core, an armature acted upon by a valve spring and axially movable between the electromagnet and a valve seat, and a control valve member moved by the armature and cooperating with the valve seat for opening and closing a fuel passage, in which the armature is situated in the housing part movable in the radial direction free from mechanical guiding means. A further development provides that, when a current is applied to the electromagnet,the armature may be aligned in the radial direction, by magnetic reluctance forces then acting upon the armature, into a centrical position with reference to the centerline of the electromagnet.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Rainer Haeberer, Andreas Wengert, Ralf Maier, Stefan Haug

Patent number: 5788161Abstract: A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines has a holding body with a protruding fixed nozzle needle whose terminal portion, has a valve cone, an annular valve diaphragm cooperates in valve-like fashion. The valve diaphragm is fastened by its outer peripheral portion against the holding body with a union nut, and the edge surrounding the opening is resiliently pressed with initial tension against the valve cone. In order to keep the strains occurring in the stroke, generated by bending, of the valve diaphragm low over its entire region, the valve diaphragm has a bulge oriented counter to the stroke direction. The bulge is preferably composed of an annular region of steep slope (.alpha.) adjoining the fastened outer peripheral region, and an annular region of flat slope (.beta.) extending from it toward the opening. The bulge may also be conical or dome-shaped.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1995Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Detlev Potz, Guenter Lewentz, Uwe Gordon, Stefan Haug

Patent number: 5738283Abstract: The invention sets forth a fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body and an expansion sleeve that cooperates with the valve body. A pressure chamber is defined between the expansion sleeve and the valve body into which a high-pressure conduit discharges which can be made to communicate with an injection cross section into the combustion chamber of the engine via an opening cross section, openable at high pressure, between the expansion sleeve and the valve body. The cup-shaped expansion sleeve is slipped onto the circumferential jacket face of the valve body and braced axially against the valve body; a portion of the expansion sleeve is embodied as a fastening element on the valve body.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1996Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Detlev Potz, Guenter Lewentz, Uwe Gordon, Stefan Haug, Christian Schmeisser

Patent number: 5718386Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, with a valve body tightened on a valve retaining body, a valve member is guided in a bore of the valve body so that the valve member can move axially and in which the bore has a radially enlarged pressure chamber into which at least one supply conduit which extends beside the bore feeds. An adjusting nut which braces the valve body against the valve retaining body with an inner, conically embodied annular shoulder rests against a conical annular step of the valve body. The annular step is disposed at a level of the pressure chamber. In order to achieve a precisely localized and reliable transmission of radial clamping forces onto the valve body, the angle (.alpha.D) formed by the conical annular step on the valve body with the valve member axis is smaller than the angle (.alpha.S) formed by the conical annular shoulder of the adjusting nut with this axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1996Date of Patent: February 17, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Stefan Haug
