Patent number: 6769634Abstract: In a fuel injection nozzle having a nozzle body which body has one first and one second group of injection ports, one first and one second nozzle needle, and one separate pressure chamber for each nozzle needle, so that the injection needles are adjustable independently of one another between a closed position, in which the injection ports associated with the corresponding nozzle needle are closed, and an injection position, in which the corresponding injection ports are opened, a free choice of injection cross sections is to be made possible, while the design is simple. To that end, it is provided that the two nozzle needles adjoin one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2002Date of Patent: August 3, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Achim Brenk, Wolfgang Klenk, Uwe Gordon, Manfred Mack

Patent number: 6745750Abstract: A fuel injection system, having a fuel injection valve and a control valve, which control valve has a control valve member that is longitudinally displaceable in a control valve bore. A control valve sealing face is embodied on the control valve member; it cooperates with a control valve seat and thus controls the communication between a first pressure space and a second pressure space; the first pressure space communicates with a high-pressure collection chamber. In a valve body, a bore is embodied in which a pistonlike valve needle, with its end toward the combustion chamber, controls the opening of at least one injection opening by executing a longitudinal motion in response to the pressure in a pressure chamber; the pressure chamber communicates with the second pressure space via an inlet conduit.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: June 8, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Walter Egler, Giovanni Ferraro, Hansjoerg Egeler, Achim Brenk, Wolfgang Klenk, Peter Boehland, Werner Teschner, Sebastian Kanne, Ingolf Kahleyss, Uwe Gordon, Manfred Mack

Patent number: 6691935Abstract: In an injection nozzle for a fuel injection system, the opening stroke of the nozzle needle is to be limited selectively, so that different injection cross sections can be employed. To that end, the injection nozzle is provided with a nozzle body, a nozzle needle displaceable in the nozzle body, two groups of injection ports, which are uncovered as a function of an opening stroke of the nozzle needle, a piston that is connected to the nozzle needle, a stop chamber in which the piston is disposed and which is provided with an outlet, and a control valve that can open and close the outlet of the stop chamber, as a result of which the stroke of the piston in the stop chamber and thus the opening stroke of the nozzle needle can be selectively limited.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Detlev Potz, Gerhard Mack, Achim Brenk, Wolfgang Klenk, Thomas Kuegler, Roland Bleher, Uwe Gordon, Manfred Mack

Patent number: 6637409Abstract: In a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, including an electronically triggered control valve with an axial through bore, which is divided by two valve seats into three annular chambers, to which respectively a supply line for fuel at high pressure, a high-pressure line leading away to an injection valve, and a relief line are connected, and having a control piston, which is guided in the through bore and which has two valve sealing faces cooperating with the two valve seats, respectively, the control piston according to the invention has a further valve sealing face, which cooperates with the first valve seat and whose spacing from the first valve sealing face is at least equal to the spacing between the second valve sealing face and the second valve seat when the first sealing seat is closed. A communication between the supply line and the relief line is thus reliably prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2002Date of Patent: October 28, 2003Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Achim Brenk, Wolfgang Klenk, Uwe Gordon, Manfred Mack

Patent number: 6540161Abstract: A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve body in which a valve member is disposed, which valve member changes into a spring plate, which is disposed in a spring chamber that receives the closing spring provided with a valve stop face on an end face. A control piston is provided defining a hydraulic control chamber, which control piston protrudes into the spring chamber, whose end face toward the combustion chamber forms a stroke stop face. As a function of pressure in the control chamber, the control piston can be moved counter to the closing force of a restoring spring from a first stroke position, remote from the valve member, toward the valve member into a second stroke position, where the control piston limits the maximum opening stroke (h) of the valve member to a partial stroke (hT).Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2001Date of Patent: April 1, 2003Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Uwe Gordon

Publication number: 20030019959Abstract: In a fuel injection system for internal combustion engines, having two control valves (15, 34), provided for controlling the injection event, whose valve bodies each have one magnetically attractable armature (41, 45), and having a common magnet coil (40) for the two armatures (41, 45), in a first current stage of the common magnet coil (40), only one armature (41), and in a higher second current stage both armatures (41, 45), are each attractable counter to the action of a closing force. Thus with only a single magnet drive mechanism, two valve functions can be switched via two exciter currents of different magnitudes.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2002Publication date: January 30, 2003Inventors: Achim Brenk, Wolfgang Klenk, Uwe Gordon, Manfred Mack, Marcus Parche
