  • Publication number: 20260036106
    Abstract: A fuel injector for metered delivery of a gaseous or liquid fuel having a housing (1) in which a compensating chamber (3) bounded by a tubular crimping bellows (5) and fillable with a lubricant is formed, wherein the crimping bellows (5) is connected at one end with a first connecting part (7) and at the other end with a second connecting part (8) by a fluid-tight connection. A thread (12) and a screwing surface (15; 17; 20; 32) accessible from the interior of the crimping bellows (5) are formed on the first connecting part (7), wherein a screwing force can be applied to the first connecting part (7) on the screwing surface (15; 17; 20; 32) by means of a force- or positive-locking connection with a tool (18) or with another component (8) of the fuel injector, in order to screw it into a fastening thread (13) in the housing (1).

  • Publication number: 20250383032
    Abstract: A fuel valve for metered delivery of fuel, having a housing (1) that can be filled with a fluid fuel and having an outlet opening (7). A valve needle (15) is disposed in the housing (1) and can be moved in its longitudinal direction and interacts with a valve seat (17) to open and close the outlet opening (7), wherein the valve needle (15) is surrounded by a crimping bellows (30) over a part of its length, sealing an internal space (32). The crimping bellows (30) is connected in a fluid-tight manner to a connecting ring (40) at the end facing the outlet opening (7) and tensioned by a tensioning nut (23) surrounding the valve needle (15) against a sealing seat (41) on the valve needle (15).

  • Patent number: 11442022
    Abstract: Imaging device and method for reading an image sensor in the imaging device. The imaging device has optics with which the imaging device can be focused on objects. The image sensor has a plurality of sensor lines, wherein each sensor line comprises a plurality of preferably linearly arranged, preferably individually readable pixel elements. A pixel range is defined with the pixel range comprising at least a section of a sensor line. The reading of the image sensor is restricted to the pixel elements (6) in the pixel range.
