The present invention relates to a nozzle for injecting fuel comprising an orifice in the region of a nozzle tip for leading fuel out of the nozzle and a reception hole for receiving a nozzle needle, wherein the reception hole has a seat region for a sealing closing by a nozzle needle to enable a fuel supply to the orifice in dependence on a position of the nozzle needle, characterized in that the longitudinal axis of the orifice is directed toward a region of the reception hole that adjoins the side of the seat region remote from the nozzle tip.

Nozzle for injecting fuel

A device comprises: an injector for injecting fuel into an engine combustion chamber, a switch formed by an injector housing and an injector nozzle needle and which changes its switching state depending on a closed or open state of the injector, an input line for supplying energy to an actuating element which adjusts the nozzle needle in its two states, an output line for conducting energy away from the actuating element, and an evaluation unit for detecting the switching state of the switch, wherein a first switch contact of the switch is connected to an electrical input line of the injector, a second switch contact of the switch is connected to ground, and the evaluation unit is configured to carry out a signal measurement on the input line and/or an output line to conclude a switch state.

Device for detecting the state of a fuel injector

The present invention relates to an injector for injecting fuel, comprising an injector housing, a movable nozzle needle which is arranged in the injector housing and has a nozzle needle tip, a nozzle needle seat for receiving the nozzle needle tip, and a mechanical switch which upon contact of the nozzle needle tip with the nozzle needle seat assumes a closed state and upon interruption of the contact assumes an open state, wherein the injector is provided with an input line and an output line for actuating a movement of the nozzle needle, and the switch includes a first terminal and a second terminal. The injector is characterized in that the first terminal of the switch is connected to the input line and the second terminal of the switch is connected to the injector housing.

Injector, and device for detecting the condition of such an injector

The invention relates to a connecting piece for a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine comprising at least one high-pressure input port and at least one high-pressure output port, wherein the high-pressure input port and the high-pressure output port open into an internal high-pressure accumulator of the connecting piece and/or the injector via separate high-pressure feed channels.

Connecting piece for a fuel injector of an internal combustion engine

A fuel injector having a seat plate with a passage throttle; a valve insert arranged at a first side of the seat plate; a valve guide surrounding the valve insert and adapted for slidable reception of the valve insert; a spring sheath surrounding at least a section of a jet needle arranged at a second side of the valve insert, the second side opposite the first side and the seat plate; a valve chamber fluidly connected to the passage throttle; a control chamber adapted for reception of fuel; and a line arranged in the valve insert connecting the control chamber and the valve chamber to one another, wherein the line is closeable by placement of the valve insert onto the spring sheath.

Injector for injecting fuel

An injector for injecting fuel including an injector housing, a movable nozzle needle with a nozzle needle tip arranged in the injector housing, and a nozzle needle seat for receiving the nozzle needle tip. A contact pairing of the nozzle needle and the nozzle needle seat here represents a mechanical switch that adopts a closed state upon contact of the nozzle needle tip with the nozzle needle seat and an open state upon interruption of the contact. Provision is additionally made that the injector has an input line and an output line for controlling movement of the nozzle needle, the switch has a first connector connected to the input line and a second connector connected to the injector housing, and a resistor connected between the first connector of the switch and the input line.

Injector

The present invention relates to an injector for injecting fuel, comprising an injector housing for receiving at least one injector component, and an electromagnet for activating a valve for opening and closing the injector, wherein the electromagnet comprises a coil winding and a magnetic body, wherein the injector housing is formed in one piece with the magnetic body.

The invention relates to a fuel injection valve for the intermittent injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine having a housing which has a high pressure chamber and a low pressure chamber. In addition, the fuel injection valve has a control chamber which is divided by means of a control valve into a first and a second control chamber. The control valve in turn has a valve guide and a valve insert, wherein an outflow throttle which connects the first control chamber to the second control chamber is arranged in the valve guide. According to the invention, the connection which is formed by way of the outflow throttle between the first control chamber and the second control chamber can be interrupted temporarily in a targeted manner.

Fuel injection valve

The invention relates to a device for sensing the state of an injector, comprising an injector for injecting fuel into an engine combustion chamber, a switch, which is designed to change the switching state thereof in accordance with the state of the injector, and an evaluating unit for sensing the switching state of the switch, wherein a first switch contact of the switch is connected to an electrical input line of the injector, a second switch contact of the switch is connected to ground, and the evaluating unit is designed to carry out a first current measurement for a current flowing into the injector and into the switch and a second current measurement for the current flowing into the injector.

Device for sensing the state of an injector

In an actuator unit for an injection system of an internal combustion engine, the difference in the longitudinal extension when a change of temperature of the piezoelectric actuator element occurs affecting the actuator unit is equalized compared to the actuator housing due to different thermal expansion coefficient values in that a fastening element is arranged on the actuator housing. The fastening element is made of a different material than the actuator housing and thus affects a force acting counter to the change of length of the actuator housing.

In a method or a device for forming an electric control signal for an injection impulse of a position-controlled fuel injector, particularly of a common-rail or pump-nozzle injection system, the course of the electric control signal can be selected freely in regard to the pulse edges (injection rate changes Q), the holding period (&#x394;t) and the injection rate (Q). This offers the advantage that the combustion process can be better optimized with respect to low emissions, low consumption and for meeting tightened legal regulations.

A method for injecting a fluid, in particular a fuel, performs the following steps: A nozzle () which can be actuated by a piezo element () is provided. A current pulse () is supplied to the piezo element (). The capacity () of the piezo element () is recorded at the time when the current pulse () is supplied. An actual characteristic curve of the injection is recorded based on the capacity (). The current pulse () is regulated in order to optimize the injection based on the actual characteristic curve of the injection.

Method and injection system for injecting a fluid

A valve has a piezo actuator, a valve element, a valve body and a valve seat. At a predeterminable point in time, the valve element is controlled by a discharging process of the piezo actuator from a position in which it rests against the valve seat to a predetermined position located at a distance from the valve seat. The discharging process is divided into a first discharging period during which a predetermined first amount of electrical energy is discharged from the piezo actuator, a subsequent holding time period during which the piezo actuator is not controlled, and a subsequent second discharging period during which a predetermined second amount of electrical energy is discharged. The holding time duration and/or the first discharging period are/is adapted according to the course of a value that is not characteristic of the oscillation behavior of the piezo actuator during the holding time period.
