Abstract
A fuel injection nozzle for self-igniting internal combustion engines, having a nozzle body, in which a conical seat face from which injection ports originate is formed at the bottom of a blind bore. A valve needle which is guided displaceably with a guide portion in the inlet region of the blind bore counter to a closing force and counter to the fuel flow direction and on the end of a valve shaft adjoining the guide portion has a closing cone cooperating with the seat face. The valve shaft circumferentially defines an annular chamber for fuel delivery, and is characterized in that in a transitional region between the valve shaft and the closing cone, a throttle device of variable throttle cross section is disposed, by which the injection cross section can be varied as a function of the axial displacement of the valve needle.
