A fuel injector, in particular a high pressure injector for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition and mixture compression, is characterized in that a valve needle, which is movable axially along a longitudinal axis of the valve, has a specially designed valve closing section on its downstream end. To open and close the valve, the valve closing section works together with a fixed valve seat. Swirl-producing elements are arranged upstream from the valve seat while a flattened face running perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the valve is provided on the downstream end of the valve closing section downstream from the valve seat.

Fuel injection valve

A swirl disk is composed of at least one metallic material, and is configured as having at least one intake area and at least one outlet orifice, the at least one outlet orifice being introduced in a lower base layer, and having at least two swirl channels emptying into a swirl chamber, the swirl chamber being provided in a central swirl-producing layer. An upper layer is configured as a cover layer, which over its entire cross-sectional surface represents a closed layer without orifice contours. All the layers of the swirl disk are directly built up on top of each other using electroplating metal deposition (multilayer electroplating). The swirl disk is suitable for a use in a fuel injection valve, in particular in a high-pressure injection valve for directly injecting the fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing, external-ignition internal combustion engine.

Swirl disk and fuel injection valve with swirl disk

A fuel injector, in particular a high-pressure injector for directly injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compression, spark-ignition internal combustion engine, which is characterized in that on a valve seat element a conical section is formed having a valve seat surface, to which an outlet opening is immediately connected on the downstream side. The outlet opening has an intake plane, an outlet plane, and a central axis, the central point of the intake plane being offset with respect to the valve longitudinal axis and the central axis running diagonally with respect to the valve longitudinal axis. Upstream of the valve seat element a disk-shaped swirl element is arranged, which can be used both for generating a right swirl as well as a left swirl.

An electromagnetically actuable valve, in particular an injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines is provided. The actuable valve has a throttling point that joins a core and a connector part to one another. An annular insert that supports the throttling point in a radial direction is provided. The use of the annular insert makes it possible to utilize the advantages of the design of a valve tube with the throttling point, and at the same time creates the stability necessary for high-pressure valves. The annular insert is made from electrically nonconductive material or configured with an interruption at at least one point and mounted in an electrically insulated fashion. This prevents eddy currents, which have a negative effect on switching times, in the annular insert. The annular insert is located at least partially within an influence region of a magnetic field of a magnet coil, in the presence of a changing magnetic field.

Electromagnetically controlled valve

A thermal insulating sleeve for a fuel injection valve, which can be inserted in a mounting hole of a cylinder head of an internal combustion engine, has a sleeve body which at least partially envelops a nozzle body of the fuel injection valve. At the injection end of the sleeve body there is a folded-back section, in which the sleeve body has a two-layered configuration, and there is a conical section, which tapers in the direction toward the injection end and which in the assembled state fits tightly against the tapered section of the nozzle body.
