摘要： A fuel injector includes a housing, a passageway, a coil assembly, a seat, and a closure member. The housing extends along a longitudinal axis between an inlet and an outlet, and fuel flows through the passageway from the inlet to the outlet. The coil assembly is disposed proximate the inlet of the housing, and the seat is disposed proximate the outlet of the housing. The closure member is disposed in the housing and is movable along the longitudinal axis between a first position, which prohibits fuel flow, and a second position, which permits fuel flow. The closure member includes a magnetic member, a needle, and a tubular member. The magnetic member is adapted to cooperate with the coil assembly to move the closure member from the first position to the second position. The needle member occludes the seat in the first position of the closure member. The tubular member couples the magnetic member to the needle member, and defines a portion of the passageway. The tubular member extends between a first end, which defines a first opening, and second end, which defines a second opening. A portion of the first opening is aligned with the second opening such that fuel flow between the first and second openings is along a flow path that is parallel to the longitudinal axis.

摘要： The present invention provides a valve assembly including a housing, an armature, an armature bias spring, a needle, and a seat. The valve assembly housing has an inlet, an outlet, and an axially extending passageway from the inlet to the outlet along a longitudinal axis. The armature is disposed within the passageway. The armature has an armature passage including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first cross-sectional area. The second portion has a second cross-sectional area. The first cross-sectional area of the first portion is greater than the second cross-sectional area of the second portion. The armature bias spring is disposed within the first portion of the armature passage. The needle is disposed within the second portion of the armature passage. The seat is located proximate the outlet. The flow restrictor is disposed between the first portion and the second portion of the armature passage of the armature. The flow restrictor includes an orifice having a third cross-sectional area that is less than the first cross-sectional area. The present invention also provides a method of generating flow from a valve assembly without after-flow through the valve assembly when the valve assembly is commanded to terminate a flow cycle. The method is achieved by sizing the first portion of the armature passage with a first volume and the second portion of the armature passage with a second volume, which is less than the first volume; providing a first vent aperture that communicates the first volume with a portion of the armature passageway; providing a second vent aperture that communicates the second volume with a portion of the armature passageway; and locating a flow restrictor between the first volume and the second volume.

摘要： A method for reducing “blow-out” of annular welds for attaching press-fit components in a fuel injector assembly is disclosed. The method employs a multi-step welding procedure whereby a first annular weld bead that corresponds to less than 360° of rotation of the assembly about a longitudinal axis leaves a radial void that is thereafter sealed with a second annular weld bead. In an alternative embodiment, a relief region is formed on radially-facing surfaces of the components, the relief region being disposed adjacent to a press-fit region. A sealed gap is thereby formed in the relief region between the welds and the press-fit region. The sealed gap provides a further means for expansion of trapped gases that could otherwise “blow out” the liquid weld bead.

摘要： In a method for reducing “blow-out” of annular welds for attaching components in a fuel injector, a relief region is formed on radially-facing surfaces of the components. The relief region is adjacent to a press-fit region. The components are then pressed together, and a weld is made in the relief region. A sealed gap is thereby formed in the relief region between the weld and the press-fit region. The sealed gap provides for the expansion of trapped gases that could otherwise “blow out” the liquid weld bead.

摘要： The present invention provides a fuel injector with an armature and a means for biasing the armature toward a first position. A primary coil is wound in a first direction such that, when energized, it develops a magnetic force that opposes the biasing means and causes the armature to move from the first position to a second position. A secondary coil is positioned coaxially with the primary coil. The secondary coil has an at least partially reverse wound portion wound in a second direction opposite the first direction, such that the magnetic field generated by the at least partially reverse wound portion at least partially cancels the magnetic field of the primary coil.

A method of directing gaseous fuel through the fuel injector is also disclosed.
