  • Patent number: 7131426
    Abstract: To effectively prevent uneven wear of a moving mover 70 and to stabilize the control characteristics by a valve. Rotation force is exerted to the mover 70 by the fluid flowing from the first chamber to the second chamber, or vice versa, which are formed at the opposite ends of the mover 70. With respect to a flow passageway 110 formed within an anchor 72 and for allowing passage of the fluid therethrough, there are provided a passageway portion 111 which is disposed along the axial direction and another passageway portion 112 which crosses the axial direction. By this, rotation force is generated at the time the fluid passes from the former passageway portion 111 to the latter passageway portion 112 (or vice versa) which crosses the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 6446606
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, has a distributor tube and a high-pressure pump that is driven as a function of engine rpm and that serves to generate the fuel pressure and throughput required in the distributor tube in the applicable operating state of the engine. The system also includes a fuel metering unit, which is associated with the high-pressure pump and includes a regulating valve which is actuated electromagnetically. The fuel metering unit is disposed in the high-pressure pump, and the outlet of the regulating valve discharges into the low-pressure region of the high-pressure pump. The above design features make a fuel metering unit possible that is capable of metering the exact quantity of fuel desired in the applicable engine operating state to the high-pressure pump of the CR system.

  • Patent number: 6415817
    Abstract: A magnet valve for tank venting in motor vehicles, having at least one valve opening forming a sealing seat and having a spring-loaded valve member cooperating with the at least one sealing seat for opening and closing the valve and actuated by an electromagnet counter to the restoring force of a restoring spring. Downstream of the valve member, a flow element that throttles the flow of a gas is disposed, the shape of the flow element is adapted to the opening cross section of the sealing seat that cooperates with the valve member, for determining (metering) the flow quantity of the gas through the cross section of the flow element when the magnet valve is open. The shape of the flow element is determined (metered) in such a way that the area of the opening cross section of the effective valve seat is greater than 2.5 and preferably greater than 9 times the area of the effective cross section of the flow element.

  • Patent number: 6321725
    Abstract: A solenoid valve for tank ventilation in motor vehicles, comprising a magnetic yoke with at least one valve opening and with a cooperating spring-loaded valve member for opening and closing the at least one valve opening. The valve element constitutes a magnetic armature of an electromagnet and is disposed between the magnetic yoke of the electromagnet and a hollow, cylindrical magnet core of the electromagnet. A valve seat body which is separate from the magnetic yoke and contains the at least one valve opening is disposed in an axial opening in the magnetic yoke, and on a side remote from the valve member. The valve seat body rests against a housing wall of the solenoid valve by use of a support element made of a damping material.

  • Patent number: 6149126
    Abstract: A fuel tank ventilation valve for a Laval nozzle, which has a sensitive regulation of the through flow quantity. The valve has a valve seat which is embodied on a valve seat body which has at least one opening that can be closed by the valve member. A cross section of the at least one opening is embodied as essentially smaller than an entry cross section of the Laval nozzle that is disposed spaced apart from the valve seat. The valve is suited for a metered introduction of fuel that has evaporated from a fuel tank of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition into an intake tube of the engine.
