Abstract:
A fuel injection device is composed of a valve member to open and close an injection hole, a high pressure passage for generating a basic pressure force to urge the valve member in a direction of opening the injection hole, an electromagnetic valve, first and second springs for generating biasing forces to urge the valve member in a direction of closing the injection hole, and first and second control chambers disposed in the fuel passages. The respective control chambers are communicated with the high pressure passage when the electromagnetic valve is not actuated and respective fuel pressure in the first and second control chambers urge the valve member in a direction of closing the injection hole, and the respective control chambers are communicated one after another at different timings to a low pressure conduit to reduce fuel pressure therein when the electromagnetic valve is actuated. With the device mentioned above, the valve member may be stepwise lifted to achieve variable fuel injection rate by controlling the control chambers in order to change a force balance with the basic pressure force and the biasing force.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for injecting fuel into a diesel engine using a pulsating flow pump for improving the fuel performance of the engines by controlling the beginning and the end of the injection. It comprises a device (20) controlling the closing and opening of the nozzle needle (5) provided with a discharge circuit (21, 21′) controlled by an electrovalve (25) in branched connection between the high pressure supply conduit (7) and the low pressure return conduit (8). The discharge circuit (21, 21′) comprises a discharge valve (22) whereof the opening and the closing are slowed down by a calibrated orifice (23). The discharge valve (22) located upstream of a discharge orifice (27) provided on the return conduit (8) enables to deviate part of the non-injected fuel flow towards the nozzle needle (5) to exert thereon a closing pressure. Consequently, this results in a better control over the opening and closing of the nozzle needle (5). A calibrated valve (24) ensures that the pressure in the discharge circuit (21) is maintained between two injections. During the injection cycle, the supply of fuel towards the nozzle needle (5) is not impeded by the control device (20) components. The invention is applicable to diesel engines using pulsating injection pumps.
Abstract:
A fuel injection device for internal combustion engines which under the control of a control unit supplies fuel injection valves with fuel from a high-pressure fuel source. The fuel injection valve has an injection valve member, whose opening and closing position is determined by a pressure acting upon the injection valve member set in a control chamber. To perform an injection, the pressure in the control chamber must be relieved, which is accomplished with a control valve that opens two different outflow cross sections of an outflow conduit of the control chamber in succession. It is thus possible to accomplish an adapted opening of a fuel injection valve member for a preinjection and a main injection.
Abstract:
A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, having a valve member that is guided so that it can slide axially in a bore of a valve body. The valve member has a valve sealing face on one end which cooperates with a valve seat face on the valve body and this valve member, on an end remote from the valve sealing face, is acted on in the closing direction toward the valve seat by a valve spring, as well as having another adjusting member that controls a two-stage opening stroke course of the valve member. In order to control the two-stage opening stroke course of the valve member, the adjusting member is embodied as an adjustable stop, in which the valve member comes into at least indirect contact with after passing through a partial stroke and which in a first position, is locked in its initial position and in a second position, can be moved in the opening direction by means of the valve member.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A hydraulically-actuated fuel injector includes an injector body that defines an actuation fluid cavity, a piston bore, a plunger bore, a nozzle chamber and a nozzle outlet that opens to the nozzle chamber. A piston is slidably received in the piston bore and moveable between an upper position and a lower position. A plunger is slidably positioned in the plunger bore and moveable between a retracted position and an advanced position. A portion of the plunger and the plunger bore define a fuel pressurization chamber that opens to the nozzle chamber. The injector body further defines a nozzle supply passage extending between the fuel pressurization chamber and the nozzle chamber, a spill passage extending between the nozzle supply passage and the nozzle chamber, and a fuel return passage opening into the nozzle chamber. A needle valve member is positioned in the nozzle chamber and moveable a distance between an open position in which the nozzle outlet is open and a closed position in which the nozzle outlet is blocked. The needle valve member blocks the spill passage and the fuel return passage when the needle valve member is in its open position and when it is in its closed position. However, an annulus in the needle valve member opens the spill passage to the fuel return passage over a portion of the travel distance of the needle valve member between its open position and its closed position.
Abstract:
A fuel injection system having a fuel injection pump whose high-pressure delivery is determined by means of an electrically controlled valve, which controls a relief conduit; the phase of the preinjection quantity supply and the main injection quantity supply are determined by the closing of this valve. To increase the precision of the injection, the injection system is provided with an injection valve, whose valve needle withdraws fuel from a damping chamber during the opening stroke via a throttle opening, which decreases with increasing valve needle stroke. Hence the opening motion of the valve needle becomes invulnerable to pressure surges, and the precision of the controlled fuel injection is increased.
Abstract:
A feel injection system for an engine controls a behavior of a nozzle needle for controlling a fuel injection timing and a fuel injection amount. The system controls a hydraulic pressure applied to the nozzle needle for displacing the nozzle needle between its fully opened position and its fully closed position. The system so controls the hydraulic pressure applied to the nozzle needle as to quickly displace the nozzle needle from the fully opened position to a given position which is located between the fully opened and closed positions, on the other hand, slowly displace the nozzle needle from the given position to the fully closed position so as to decrease an impact load applied to a valve seat for the nozzle needle when the nozzle needle is seated onto the valve seat.
