Abstract

L'invention concerne un injecteur de carburant pour moteur à combustion interne qui présente un organe de soupape d'injection à actionnement direct. L'injecteur de carburant présente un pointeau d'injection (13) guidé axialement dans un corps d'injecteur (12) et un actionneur (20) installé dans un boîtier d'injecteur (10), le pointeau d'injection (13) étant relié à un piston d'accouplement (34) situé du côté du pointeau d'injection et l'actionneur (20) à un piston d'accouplement (21) situé du côté de l'actionneur. Le piston d'accouplement (21) situé du côté de l'actionneur agit sur un espace d'accouplement (32) et le piston d'accouplement (35) situé du côté du pointeau d'injection agit sur une chambre pilote (38). Le pointeau d'injection (13) est relevé d'un siège (14) étanche de pointeau d'injection en fonction de la pression qui règne dans la chambre pilote (38). Entre le boîtier d'injecteur (10) et le corps d'injection (12) est disposée une plaque intermédiaire (40) dotée d'un canal (50) qui relie à écoulement la chambre d'accouplement (32) à la chambre pilote (38). Le canal (50) présente un étranglement hydraulique (51) qui est doté d'au moins deux parties (52, 53) à sections transversales d'écoulement différentes. La partie (52) qui présente la plus petite section transversale d'écoulement est tournée vers la chambre (32) et la partie (53) qui présente la plus grande section transversale d'écoulement est tournée vers la chambre pilote (38).
