  • Publication number: 20220298999
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fuel injector (10), comprising a nozzle body (12) in which a blind hole (19) is formed, wherein at least one injection opening (14) leads off same, comprising a nozzle needle (25; 25a to 25c) that is reciprocatingly movable along a longitudinal axis (18), wherein the nozzle needle (25; 25a-25c) has a valve seat (29) which forms a sealing seat (26) with a seating surface (21) in the nozzle body (12) in a lowered position of the nozzle needle (25; 25a-25c), and comprising at least one borehole (34; 34a-34c) in the nozzle needle (25; 25a-25c), wherein at least some portions of a borehole inlet (36) of the at least one borehole (34; 34a-34c) are located in the region of the seating surface (21) when the sealing seat (26) is formed, and a borehole outlet (40) of the at least one borehole (34; 34a-34c) is located below the valve seat (29) of the nozzle needle (25; 25a-25c) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (18).

  • Patent number: 9360305
    Abstract: A device for the tactile determination of a surface shape of a measuring object includes a micro probe arm having a stylus tip, the micro probe arm being fastened on an optical fiber having a fiber end, which is mounted in a probe housing, a reference mirror is provided in the probe housing, and an optical measuring device is provided for determining the position of the fiber end in relation to the reference mirror. The contactless interferometric determination of the distance between the fiber end of the optical fiber and the reference mirror attached in the probe housing allows precise determination of the surface shape of the measuring object.

  • Patent number: 5854675
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring injection bores of fuel injection valves for internal combustion engines, in which the injection valve including the bores to be measured is fastened in a receiving device and the bore is measured with a measuring device. The ascertainment of the location and geometry of the bore to be measured is done by means of an optoelectronic measuring method such as a camera.

  • Patent number: 5161742
    Abstract: An injection nozzle provided with an inductive needle movement sensor is constructed in such a way that a coil winding of the sensor is faultlessly sealed against overflow oil without more space being required for the needle movement sensor than is required in a construction without a sealing of the coil winding against overflow oil. For this purpose, a coil core of the induction coil is lengthened into a lengthened portion of the chamber in a short-circuit body of the sensor, which chamber receives an induction coil, and a sealing ring seals the coil winding against a guide gap of the magneto armature in the short-circuit body. An annular gap between the short-circuit body and a bore hole wall in a nozzle holder receiving is sealed by means of a sealing ring. A clamping flange connected with the coil core directly contacts an adjacent annular flange of the coil body and the coil winding contacts connection wires on the other side of a clamping flange.
