Definitions
- the invention relates to a fuel injector according to the preamble of the main claim.
- a fuel injector in the form of an electromagnetically actuated valve is already known from DE-PS 38 31 196, in which a valve needle is formed from an armature, a tubular connecting part and a spherical valve closing body.
- the armature and the valve closing body are connected to one another via the tubular connecting part, the connecting part with which the
- Valve closing body is firmly connected by means of a weld seam.
- the connecting part has a multiplicity of flow openings through which fuel can emerge from an inner passage opening and can flow outside the connecting part as far as the valve closing body or to a valve seat surface which interacts with the valve closing body.
- the connecting tube which is rolled in terms of production technology, has a longitudinal slot running over the entire length, through which, owing to its large hydraulic area
- the end region encompasses the valve closing body in such a way that at least one channel which is connected directly to a longitudinal bore of the closing body carrier is formed on the surface of the valve closing body.
- the end region extends beyond the equator of the valve closing body. A firm connection is achieved by flanging or pressing.
- US Pat. No. 4,483,485 already shows a fuel injector which has a valve needle with a spherical valve closing body.
- the spherical valve closing body can also be provided with a horizontal flattening which extends within the connecting part of the valve needle serving as the closing body carrier.
- transverse openings or several slot openings open towards the valve closing body are provided in one end region.
- an opening geometry which requires additional manufacturing or processing steps and is specifically introduced into the closing body carrier is required for the outflow of the fuel.
- a spherical valve closing body is at least one axial
- the closing body carrier can be produced in a very simple manner in a rotationally symmetrical manner, without any opening geometries having to be introduced on its outer contour for the exit of fuel. This eliminates all processing steps that are usually required for such additional flow openings.
- the closing body carrier engages around the valve closing body in such a way that, depending on the number of flattenings, it forms one or more channels directly on the surface of the valve closing body, through which fuel can flow unhindered coming from the inner longitudinal bore towards a valve seat surface. Optimal inflow to the metering area of the valve is achieved with little manufacturing effort.
- At least one flattening is formed at an angle to the longitudinal valve axis of 12 to 25 ° and to let the flattening extend in a downstream direction via a spherical equator of the valve closing body.
- a magnet armature can itself serve directly as a closing body carrier, so that a two-part valve needle is present together with the valve closing body.
- a valve needle is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture and, due to the reduced number of parts, has only a single connection point.
- FIG. 1 shows a fuel injector according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a valve needle
- FIG. 3 shows a symbolically illustrated fuel flow on a valve needle according to FIG. 2

- the fixed core 2 is also arranged in the longitudinal opening 9 of the sleeve 12.
- the sleeve 12 also fulfills a sealing function, so that a dry magnet coil 1 is present in the injection valve. This is also achieved in that the disc-shaped
- Covering element 3 completely covers the magnetic coil 1 on its upper side.
- the inner opening 58 in the cover element 3 allows the sleeve 12 and thus also the core 2 to be of elongated design, so that both components protrude through the opening 58 beyond the cover element 3.
- a valve seat body 14 adjoins the lower guide section 8 of the valve jacket 5 and has a fixed valve seat surface 15 as the valve seat.
- Valve seat body 14 is fixedly connected to valve jacket 5 by means of a second weld 16, for example, generated by means of a laser.

- the injection valve is actuated electromagnetically in a known manner.
- a piezoelectric actuator can also be used to actuate the valve needle 13.
- the electromagnetic circuit with the magnet coil 1, the inner core 2, the outer valve jacket 5 and the armature 17 serves for the axial movement of the valve needle 13 and thus for opening against the spring force of a return spring 25 or closing the injection valve is aligned with the end of the valve closing body 18 facing the core 2.
- the spherical valve closing body 18 interacts with the valve seat surface 15 of the valve seat body 14 which tapers in the shape of a truncated cone in the direction of flow and is formed in the axial direction downstream of a guide opening 26 in the valve seat body 14.
- the spray orifice plate 20 has at least one, for example four, spray openings 27 formed by eroding or stamping.
- an adjusting sleeve 29 is inserted in addition to the return spring 25.
- the adjusting sleeve 29 is used to adjust the spring preload of the return spring 25 abutting the adjusting sleeve 29, which in turn is supported with its opposite side on an insert part 31 which is firmly connected to the closing body carrier 17, the dynamic injection quantity also being adjusted using the adjusting sleeve 29.
- Such an injection valve is characterized by its particularly compact construction, so that a very small, handy injection valve is produced, the valve jacket 5 of which has an outer diameter of only about 11 mm, for example.
- the components described so far form a preassembled independent assembly, which can be referred to as functional part 30.
- the fully set and assembled functional part 30 has z. B. on an upper end face 32, for example, two contact pins 33 protrude.

- connection part can be connected to such a functional part 30, which is distinguished above all by the fact that it comprises the electrical and the hydraulic connection of the injection valve.
- a hydraulic connection between the connection part (not shown) and the functional part 30 is achieved in the fully assembled injection valve in that flow bores of both assemblies are brought together so that an unimpeded flow of fuel is ensured. It is then z. B. the end face 32 of the functional part 30 directly on a lower one
- connection part is mounted on the functional part 30, the part of the core 2 and the sleeve 12 which projects beyond the end face 32 can be inserted into a flow hole in the flow hole to increase the connection stability
