Abstract
A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve member which is axially displaceable in a bore of a valve body and which on an end toward the combustion chamber has a valve member head. The head forms a valve closing member, which on one side toward the valve body has a sealing face, with which the sealing face cooperates with a valve seat face provided on the face end of the valve body toward the combustion chamber. An injection opening in the valve member head, which emerges from a pressure chamber, formed between the valve member and the wall of the bore, and leads away along the circumferential wall of the valve member head. The injection opening is closed by the wall of the bore when the valve member is resting on the valve seat and is opened by an outward-oriented opening stroke motion of the valve member. The valve member is actuatable by an externally controllable actuator independently of the high fuel pressure in the pressure chamber, and two pressure shoulders, facing one another and axially defining the pressure chamber, are provided on the needle-like valve member and each have substantially equal pressure engagement surface area. The pressure chamber is characterized in that one of the pressure shoulders is disposed on an end remote from the combustion chamber of the valve body, in a compensation chamber which communicates fluidically with the pressure chamber and is closed off on a face end by an axially displaceably guided pressure sleeve.
