Abstract:
A gas injector for injecting a gaseous fuel. The gas injector includes a solenoid actuator including an armature, an internal pole, and a coil; a closure element which opens and closes a gas path on a valve seat, the armature being connected to the closure element; a closed lubricant chamber filled with a lubricant and in which the armature is arranged, the lubricant ensuring the armature is lubricated; a flexible sealing element sealing the lubricant chamber in relation to the gas path, and a braking device which is arranged in the lubricant chamber and is configured to brake the closure element during a process of restoring the gas injector from the open into the closed state. The braking device has a brake pin, a damping chamber that is filled with lubricant and is in fluid communication with the lubricant chamber, and a resilient brake element.

This invention refers to an optimized structure of a high flow fuel dosing valve applied to automobiles in general, particularly to high power racing cars with the purpose of opening and closing an orifice for fuel injection in internal combustion engines for power gain through an innovative and improved mechanical constructiveness of the coil body (1), coil (2), spring (3), needle (4), guide ring (5), lock (6), seat (7), sieve (8), needle body (9) and o-ring (10), with advantages of greater and faster fuel flow, durability, efficiency and power gain.
Abstract:
A magnetic actuator, which is used particularly for devices of internal combustion engines, includes a magnetic coil and at least one ferromagnetic component. In this instance, a magnetic flux caused by the magnetic coil is able to be guided via the component. On ferromagnetic component, a magnetic choke point is provided, which is used to adjust the magnetic flux. The magnetic choke point may be formed by a local microstructural modification of a ferromagnetic material of the ferromagnetic component. Furthermore, a valve having such a magnetic actuator and a method for producing such a magnetic actuator are indicated.
Abstract:
A valve device includes a valve housing having a hole and a seat provided on a periphery of the hole, a tubular member, a valve member opening the hole when moving away from the seat and closing the hole when being in contact with the seat, an urging member urging the valve member in a valve closing direction or a valve opening direction, an intermediate member being immovably relative to the tubular member, an adjusting member having a communication passage and configured to adjust an urging force of the urging member via the intermediate member according to a position relative to the tubular member when fixed to the tubular member, and a swelling member provided between the intermediate member and the tubular member and configured to be in contact with the intermediate member and the tubular member by swelling when touched with a fluid flowing through the hole.
Abstract:
A solenoid-based fuel injector is described. The fuel injector comprises a tubular body (48) comprising a magnetic material and an armature (16) disposed inside the tubular body. The tubular body has an integrally-formed, inwardly-projecting shelf (52) configured to provide a pole piece.
Abstract:
A valve body for an electromechanically operable valve is produced by providing a base element with a circumferential sidewall having a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, the sidewall being made of a ferromagnetic material and enclosing a cavity extending along a longitudinal axis. The third portion is positioned in longitudinal direction between the first portion and the second portion. A thickness of the third portion is smaller than a thickness of the first portion and the second portion. Hardening the third portion is achieved by laser heating, which transforms a material structure of the third portion into a martensitic structure. The locally decreased thickness creates a bottleneck for a magnetic flux, and a magnetic flux bypass in the valve body is reduced due to magnetic saturation; however, a structural resistance of the valve body remains high due to the laser induced hardening.
Abstract:
A spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve includes, at least, a seat member provided with a fuel injection hole and a valve seat and a valve body which controls fuel injection from the injection hole by contacting and separating from the valve seat. In the spark-ignition direct fuel injection valve: the injection hole has an injection hole inlet which is open inwardly of the seat member and an injection hole outlet which is open outwardly of the seat member; an opening edge of the injection hole inlet has a first round-chamfered portion formed on an upstream side with respect to a fuel flow toward the injection hole inlet; and an extending length (L) of the injection hole does not exceed three times a hole diameter (D) of the injection hole.
Abstract:
A valve assembly for a fluid injection valve may comprise a valve body, a valve needle moving in a cavity of the valve body, an armature in the cavity for actuating the valve needle, and a particle retainer. The cavity may extend axially through the valve body to connect a fluid inlet end to a fluid outlet end of the valve body and have a valve seat adjacent to the fluid outlet end. The first portion of the cavity may limit movement of the armature in the axial direction towards the fluid outlet end by a bottom surface having a central opening from which a second portion of the cavity extends towards the fluid outlet end. The shaft of the valve needle may extend through the opening into the second portion. The particle retainer element may bear on the bottom surface, circumferentially surrounding the shaft of the valve needle and overlapping the opening.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a fuel injector arranged in a recess of a cylinder head of a combustion engine. It may comprise a housing, a valve body, and an adjustment element. The valve body may have a central area, an end area, and a transition area, with a first outer diameter (D1) in the central area the valve body, and a second outer diameter (D2) in the end area which is smaller than the first outer diameter (D1). The adjustment element may be shaped and positioned in the transition area of the valve body to align the fuel injector relative to the recess. In the transition area, an outer diameter of the valve body decreases in stepped fashion from the first outer diameter (D1) to the second outer diameter (D2) so that a radially extending step surface is formed. The adjustment element comprises a ring element through which the transition area extends and the adjustment element has a radially extending upper surface which radially overlaps, contacts, and is coplanar to the step surface and a spherically shaped external surface in a cylinder head contact area.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a fuel injection device that can control a small amount of injection is provided. A fuel injection device for use in an internal combustion engine, includes: a valve body that can open and close a fuel passage, a needle that transfers a force with the valve body, and executes valve opening/closing operation, and an electromagnet that includes a coil and a magnetic core provided as a driver for driving the needle, and a cylindrical nozzle holder disposed on an outer periphery of the magnetic core and the needle, in which a current is supplied to the coil to exert a magnetic attractive force between the magnetic core and the needle to open the valve body.
