A fuel injection system which serves to adapt the fuel-air mixture accurately over a wide range to operating conditions of the internal combustion engine. The fuel injection system includes metering valves, with each of which a regulating valve is associated, the movable valve element of which can be acted upon on one side by the fuel pressure downstream of the particular metering valve and on the other side by the pressure in a differential pressure control line, which is defined on one end by a first electrofluidic converter of the nozzle/baffle type and on the other end by a first throttle. The first electrofluidic converter is triggerable in accordance with operating characteristics of the engine and determines the pressure in the differential pressure control line and thus, via the regulating valves, the differential pressure at the metering valves. The control slide of the metering valves protrudes with one end face into a pressure chamber, which communicates with a restoring force pressure control line in which the pressure, and thus the restoring force exerted upon the control slide, is variable by means of a second electrofluidic converter, which communicates via an uncoupling throttle with the fuel supply line.

Fuel injection system

A housed valve is proposed which serves in particular as a metering and distribution valve for a fuel injection system of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally supplied ignition. The valve includes a control slide with a control edge and at least two control slits. The control edge opens the control slits to a greater or lesser extent depending on the relative movement between the control slide and the control slits. A helical spring is supported on one control slide end, the end of the spring oriented toward the control slide being bent at an angle and arranged to protrude into an opening of the control slide end, while the other end of the spring is connected in a twist-free manner with the valve housing. As a result, there is a friction-free means of securing the control slide from twisting, so that deviations in the fluid quantities metered at the individual control slits can be equalized during the assembly of the valve by retroactive machining of the control edge in the various areas associated with the control slits.
