  • Publication number: 20120205470
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a fuel injection valve (10; 10a; 60; 60a), in which a valve needle (40; 40a; 62; 62a) which closes at least one fuel outlet opening (49) is inserted into an injector housing (11), wherein that end of the valve needle (40; 40a; 62; 62a) which lies opposite the at least one fuel outlet opening (49) is guided in a valve element (32) which has a pressurized control chamber (37) which is filled with fuel, wherein the control chamber (37) can be closed on the side which faces away from the valve needle (40; 40a; 62; 62a) by a closing element (23) which forms a passage during opening and is connected at least indirectly to a fuel return line (5) which is under low pressure, wherein fuel volume which is present in the control chamber (37) flows away through the passage after opening of the control chamber (37) by means of the closing element (23), wherein the valve needle (40; 40a; 62; 62a) moves in the direction of the closing element (23), wherein the at least one fue

  • Patent number: 8113176
    Abstract: The invention relates to an injector for injecting fuel into combustion chambers. According to the invention, a valve piston of a control valve is provided with low pressure on both faces thereof. The valve piston is arranged in a valve chamber hydraulically connected to a control chamber and is guided inside a sleeve received in the valve chamber. The valve chamber contains a spring supported on one end against the sleeve and on the other end on the valve piston such that the spring presses the valve piston onto a valve seat and the sleeve onto an opposing bottom surface. The valve piston diameter inside the sleeve corresponds to the effective valve piston diameter at the valve seat.

  • Publication number: 20080290196
    Abstract: 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.
