  • Patent number: 7175114
    Abstract: A fuel injector for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, having a valve needle which works together with a valve seat face to form a sealing seat, has an armature acting on the valve needle. The armature is movably guided on the valve needle and is damped by an elastomer ring made of an elastomer. The armature has at least one fuel channel for supplying fuel to the sealing seat. A flat supporting ring which axially supports the elastomer ring in the area of the outlet end of the fuel channel is arranged between the elastomer ring and the armature.

  • Patent number: 6953162
    Abstract: A fuel injector for the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having external ignition, includes a valve housing formed from a nozzle body, and a sealing ring which seals the fuel injector from a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. In the mounted state, a radial extension of a stamping sleeve that is disposed on the intake side of the sealing ring acts upon the sealing ring in such a way that the axial extension of the sealing ring is reduced in favor of the radial extension of the sealing ring relative to the unstrained state of the sealing ring.

  • Publication number: 20050116056
    Abstract: A fuel injector, which, at its inflow-side end, has an intake connector at whose outer circumference at least two sealing rings are provided, which seal the fuel injector from a valve seat. Due to an intermediate ring, the two sealing rings are axially set apart from one another in a respective ring chamber. The intermediate ring is embodied independently of the intake connector and is made up of two parts. A flexible outer ring is locked in place on an inner extruded support ring, the outer ring only being mounted once the first sealing ring has already been moved across the support ring and has been stripped off. The fuel injector is particularly suited for the use in mixture-compressing internal combustion engines having external ignition.

  • Patent number: 6840226
    Abstract: A fuel injector for the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having external ignition includes a valve housing formed by a nozzle body, and a first sealing ring which seals the fuel injector against a cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The first sealing ring tapers conically at a radially outer side in a flow direction of the fuel and cooperates with a second sealing ring, which tapers conically at a radially inner side counter to the flow direction of the fuel.

  • Patent number: 6820315
    Abstract: An assembling device for assembling and disassembling a fuel injector in a mounting hole of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine has a jacket body at least partially surrounding the fuel injector. A contact section, on which both a hold-down force for holding down the fuel injector in the mounting hole and a disassembling force for disassembling the fuel injector can be exerted on the fuel injector, and a collar section protruding from the mounting hole are formed on the jacket body. The collar section has at least one thread, in which a disassembling screw can be screwed in so that when the disassembling screw is tightened it abuts on the cylinder head and transmits a disassembling force on the collar section so that the assembling device (1) with the fuel injector (3) inserted into the assembling device (1) is extracted.

  • Patent number: 6626159
    Abstract: The gas distributor apparatus has a common gas-supply line for supplying gas to a plurality of devices, e.g., arranged in series, the gas-supply line representing a substructure with an inner supply orifice and connecting pieces, which conform in number to the devices for injecting a fuel-gas mixture, and which extend in a normal direction starting from the gas-supply line and contain branched-off ports that communicate directly with the supply orifice. A permanent connection is established between the gas distributor apparatus and the devices in that gas-intake ducts are configured on the gas-containing bodies at least partially surrounding the devices, the gas-intake ducts having functional elements and projecting with these elements into the connecting pieces of the gas distributor apparatus. The gas is made available simultaneously for all devices in the supply orifice and then flows in each case via one connecting piece to a device.

  • Patent number: 5904299
    Abstract: A housing body of a fuel injector has a multi-part design; it includes a base member and at least one calibrating sleeve. Air is supplied and metered in through the calibrating sleeve, while the base member is used for sealing and attachment purposes. A dimensionally accurate machining of calibrating sleeves can be carried out simply and cost-effectively. The structural design easily yields many different variants. The fuel injector is especially suited for fuel-injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines having externally supplied ignition.

  • Patent number: 5873354
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine having an intake air metering device, leading to individual combustion chambers several fuel injection valves, each of which is assigned to one combustion chamber, and a central fuel vaporizer to which fuel can be supplied by a fuel metering device. To reduce pollutant emissions during the warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine after start-up, fuel vapor generated in the fuel vaporizer can be added to the intake air for the combustion chambers downstream from the intake air metering device.

  • Patent number: 5687468
    Abstract: The process for manufacturing a magnetic circuit for a valve represents a particularly cost-effective version with minimized material use. For this purpose, a single-part valve housing has a groove, where a non-magnetic intermediate ring is placed. An axial pressing force is applied on the intermediate ring using a pressing tool, radially displacing the material of the intermediate ring and the valve housing. With a simple machining operation, valve house material is removed from an opening, so that the internal field and the valve jacket are spatially separated from the components obtained from the valve housing by the intermediate ring. The magnetic circuit thus manufactured is particularly well suited for fuel injection valves for fuel injection systems of internal combustion working with an externally ignited compressed mixture.

  • Patent number: 5655715
    Abstract: An attachment of a fuel injection valve is formed at least from the main body and the insert which bound the gas supply passages between them and direct the gas in a metered and targeted manner onto the sprayed fuel. The attachment makes it possible to separate the functions of gas supply and metering from those of sealing the fuel injection valve against an induction conduit and fastening the attachment on the fuel injection valve. Furthermore, the design configuration results in a large number of variants which can be achieved by very simple and low-cost exchangeability of parts by virtue of the modularity of the system. The fuel injection valve is particularly suitable for fuel injection systems of mixture compressing internal combustion engines with external ignition supply.
