  • Patent number: 10422308
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure regulating valve for regulating pressure in a high-pressure fuel accumulator for an internal combustion engine, comprising a valve piston (5) accommodated axially displaceably in a bore (1) in a valve housing (2), acting on a valve closing member (3) in the direction of a valve seat (4), said valve piston being connected at the end thereof facing away from the valve seat (4) to an armature (6) of a magnetic assembly (7) for actuating the pressure regulating valve, wherein the armature (6) is accommodated in an armature chamber (8) and the valve closing member (3) is accommodated in a valve chamber (9). According to the invention, the valve chamber (9) and the armature chamber (8) are hydraulically connected via at least one groove (10) and/or bore (11) formed in the valve housing (2), valve piston (5) and/or in the armature (6), as well as at least one choke point (12).

  • 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: 20110049406
    Abstract: The invention relates to a solenoid valve having a magnet assembly and a magnetic top in which a magnetic coil is embedded. The solenoid valve also comprises an armature assembly with an armature bolt and/or armature plate in one or many parts. The armature plate has, according, to the invention, in a radially inner area, a recess that surrounds the area and that defines the height of the remanent air gap.
