Patent number: 5634597Abstract: In a fuel injection valve, the direct attachment of a protective sleeve to the valve housing has the effect that breathing of the inside of the valve can take place without spray water or other fluids penetrating into the inside of the valve (coil space). The fluid is, rather, held in a space with many passages. Corrosion on the contact pins or on the coil wire is, therefore, ruled out. The fuel injection valve is particularly suitable for use in fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1995Date of Patent: June 3, 1997Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Klaus-Henning Krohn, Waldemar Hans, Christian Preussner, Johann Bayer

Patent number: 5465906Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable injection valves which tear away the fuel stream emerging from at least one injection port and atomize it as finely as possible. One possibility is to force a high velocity component in the radial direction upon the fuel prior to its leaving the injection valve; this is achieved with swirl generators. The novel injection valve has a valve seat face, which in a swirl segment outside a sealing face, is provided with four swirl conduits, which discharge into an injection conduit and terminal port with a lateral offset relative to a longitudinal valve axis. The novel injection valve is especially suitable as an injection valve for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 1995Date of Patent: November 14, 1995Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Waldemar Hans

Patent number: 5273215Abstract: A fuel injection valve including a pan-shaped protective cap having a radially outwardly extending recess which, together with the fuel injection valve, forms a gap which is so narrow that it exerts a capillary effect on the fuel so that, when the internal combustion engine is shut down, the high boiling point constituents of the fuel are deposited at the radial outer edge of the gap, because of the capillary effect, and the injection openings remain free from deposits. The protective cap of the invention has at least three protrusions formed from its bottom and protruding in the direction of the fuel injection valve to a predetermined axial distance, the protrusions of the protective cap being in contact with the orifice plate of the fuel injection valve, forming an axial gap in a simple manner between the bottom and the orifice plate. The protective cap can be used with fuel injection valves of various types.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1992Date of Patent: December 28, 1993Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Waldemar Hans, Christian Preussner

Patent number: 5222674Abstract: A stop plate for assembly between a stop shoulder of a valve needle and an inner shoulder of a valve casing in known fuel injection valves. The stop plate limits the stroke of the valve needle and, between its through opening and its circumference, has an assembly slot. During the flanging of the valve casing and the high axial forces connected with this assembly a high edge pressure at the assembly slot and nonuniform deformations of the valve casing may occur. The stop plate includes at least two recesses which are formed in an upper stop face of the stop plate, the said stop face resting against the inner shoulder of the valve casing, these recesses lying symmetrically to a center line of the assembly slot and in a half of the stop plate in which the assembly slot is not formed. The recesses lead to a uniform and reduced impressing of the stop plate into the valve casing.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1991Date of Patent: June 29, 1993Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Waldemar Hans, Christian Preussner

Patent number: 4826082Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which has an internal scavenging system for cleaning dirt particles from a magnetic field air gap. A portion of the fuel flowing in via an inflow line and an inflow opening reaches the vicinity of an air gap defined on one side by an armature and on the other by magnetic poles and flows through this gap, and then flows via an outflow opening to enter an outflow line that communicates with a fuel return. As a result of the described scavenging of the air gap, dirt particles are prevented from becoming firmly attached there and causing impairment of the performance of the fuel injection valve.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1987Date of Patent: May 2, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Max Greiner, Udo Hafner, Waldemar Hans, Heinrich Knapp, Wolfgang Kramer, Rudolf Krauss, Ferdinand Reiter, Peter Romann, Rudolf Sauer

Patent number: 4813599Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which is used to supply fuel to a mixture compressing internal combustion engine. The fuel injection valve comprises a valve housing provided with an extension in which a valve seat body is disposed. A magnetic coil is mounted on each of the pole parts and a permanent magnet is disposed between the poles of the pole parts. The valve seat body is connected to a guide via a collet. The guide, collet and valve seat body are penetrated by a valve needle which is connected at its one end to an armature and which, at its other end, ends in a closing end. In the guide is a guide bore which is adapted to radially guide a spherical head portion of the valve needle and which then tapers into an abutment face, against which face the valve needle rests by way of the head when the injection valve is open. To open the valve, the valve needle is moved outwardly, thereby uncovering an ejection opening between a valve seat and the closing head.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 1987Date of Patent: March 21, 1989Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Max Greiner, Udo Hafner, Waldemar Hans, Heinrich Knapp, Wolfgang Kramer, Rudolf Krauss, Ferdinand Reiter, Peter Romann, Rudolf Sauer

Patent number: 4700891Abstract: A magnetic injection valve for injecting fuel into the intake tract of internal combustion machines, which is distinguished by particularly good internal cooling. A magnetic coil wound onto a coil carrier is located in the valve, being introduced into a valve housing and surrounds a ferromagnetic core. The core acts upon an armature which is connected to a movable valve needle. A bushing in the core and a sleeve located outside the core are arranged such that the fuel, emerging from an inflow tract of a supply device flows via the sleeve serving as a fuel line and reaches the interior of the valve housing that receives the magnetic coil; after flowing virtually completely around the magnetic coil, the fuel leaves this interior via a bore and flows back between the bushing and the core as far as the end of the bushing, and then flows on through the bushing to reach the armature to flow on to the valve seat.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 1986Date of Patent: October 20, 1987Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Waldemar Hans, Wilhelm Kind, Heinrich Knapp, Wolfgang Kramer, Rudolf Sauer
