  • Patent number: 4502632
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve is proposed which serves in particular to inject fuel into the intake tube of internal combustion engine operating with fuel injection systems. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing, a shell core having a magnetic coil and a flat armature, which is positively connected to a valve element comprising a ball which protrudes through a central opening in a guide diaphragm to cooperate with a fixed valve seat. The guide diaphragm guides the ball in the radial direction relative to the valve seat. Under spring tension, the flat armature, having a guide crown, contacts the guide diaphragm and is thus guided in a plane parallel to the end face of the shell core. A first fuel fitting comprises a portion of a valve housing preshaped by a non-cutting manufacturing method; a second fuel fitting is fixed inside the first fuel fitting in such a manner that a flow conduit is defined between the first and the second fuel fittings.

  • Patent number: 4483484
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems comprises a valve casing and a first connecting pipe which serves as a magnetic core over which a solenoid winding is disposed. A second connecting pipe is disposed interiorly to the first connecting pipe, the two pipes in combination forming a flow channel for the inflowing fuel. Flow of the fuel is facilitated through a connecting or communicating opening and a blind bore into an interior cavity of valve casing, when it flows further either via an interior bore of the first connecting pipe and a bore of the second connecting pipe. From there the fuel can proceed onward to a return flow line, or else, when the solenoid winding is energized and the valve passage between the seat and head is open, the fluid can be metered through fuel passages and injected from a preparation bore.

  • Patent number: 4481699
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve and a method for the automatic establishment of the desired armature stroke of the fuel injection valve are proposed which serves the purpose of injection at low fuel pressures into the intake tube of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally-supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a magnetic coil surrounding a core and a flat armature guided by at least one guide diaphragm held on its outer circumference, which is firmly connected with a movable valve element cooperating with a fixed valve seat. The fuel delivered via a fuel inlet nozzle can proceed through apertures and recesses in the guide diaphragms past the valve seat to a fuel discharge nozzle by way of which a portion of the delivered fuel can flow back again into a fuel return line. Via an annular channel the fuel stream exiting from the nozzle bore cab be prepared with air which surrounds the fuel stream.

  • Patent number: 4395988
    Abstract: A fuel injection system for internal combustion engines having a multiplicity of injection valves which serves to provide fuel supply is proposed. The fuel injection system includes a common, rigid fuel line, having plug nipples into which the injection valves associated with the individual cylinders of the engine can be inserted in a sealing manner. The fuel line comprises one fuel distributor line and one fuel return flow line located one above the other. Each injection valve has one inlet stub and one outlet stub disposed concentrically relative to one another, protruding into the plug nipple in such a manner that the inflow stub communicates with the fuel distributor line and the outflow stub communicates with the fuel return flow line. As a result, not only is it possible to provide simple sealing toward the outside between the injection valve and the plug nipple but also rapid assembly of the fuel injection system is assured.

  • Patent number: 4394973
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve is proposed for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, which serves to supply fuel into the intake tube of the engine. The injection valve includes a movable valve element which cooperates with a fixed valve seat, downstream of which are provided horizontal fuel guidance bores which discharge tangentially into a spin chamber. The spin chamber is disposed so that it widens conically in the flow direction. The fuel guidance bores simultaneously serve as metering bores. The spin chamber causes an axial speed component to be imparted to the fuel entering via the fuel guidance bores. As a result, the dwell time of the metered fuel within the spin chamber is short, and even in the case of quite short injection pulses, the fuel is still sufficiently well prepared.

  • Patent number: 4354640
    Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable valve intended in particular for the injection of fuel into the intake manifold of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition. The valve includes a flat armature which is firmly connected with a movable valve element, embodied as a ball, to cooperate with a fixed valve seat. The flat armature is supported on a first side so as to pivot about a tilt edge provided on said side and remote from the valve seat and is retained at the tilt edge on this side by the force of a spring engaging the first side of the flat armature oriented toward the valve seat. The unilateral retention of the flat armature at the tilt edge assures the unequivocal upward and downward movement of the flat armature.

  • Patent number: 3989063
    Abstract: An electro-magnetically actuated solenoid valve is provided with two opposing valve seats between which the armature moves axially. The armature loosely holds valve closure members which cooperate with the opposing valve seats. The valve closure members are urged apart by a spring, and the combined force of this spring and of two further springs exhibits an abrupt change which stabilizes the armature in a position approximately mid-way between the two extreme positions.The end portion of the armature and of the cooperating pole piece is so configured that the path of the armature is limited to a region within which the magnetic force does not change rapidly.

  • Patent number: 3970111
    Abstract: An electromagnetic 3-way valve arrangement having two valves, each controlled by a separate armature of a single coil solenoid, is described. The top end of each armature has a self-aligning closing element, and the two armatures are held apart by springs acting against an intermediate member, which also contains the valve seat for the lower armature. When deenergized, these springs act against the armatures to close the upper valve and open the lower valve. When the solenoid coil is partially energized, it moves the lower armature upward to close the lower valve also. When the solenoid coil is fully energized, it moves the upper armature downward to open the upper valve. If desired, the armature can be disposed within the solenoid so that the upper armature is operated at partial energization, and the lower armature at full energization of the solenoid coil.
