Abstract An injection valve comprising a hollow casing containing an electromagnetic winding connected to a source of electric pulses, an armature in the casing near the winding, a likewise hollow nozzle held by the casing so as to extend therein for a length defined by the geometrical requirements of the intake manifold so as suitably to position the fuel discharge aperture at the front end of the manifold, a closure means having a first end secured to the armature, an external surface coupled to the inner surface of the nozzle, to guide the travel of the closure means, and a second end comprising a conical part adapted to come in contact with a conical seat formed in the nozzle immediately upstream of a bore and bearing a fuel-atomizing deflector which co-operates with the bore in the nozzle to define the fuel discharge aperture, the conical part forming a seal when, under the action of a resilient force, it is in contact with the conical seat whereas it opens the discharge aperture under the action of the magnetic field so as to allow fuel to escape from the valve, the valve also comprising end-of-travel means adapted to limit the opening travel of the closure means, and a pipe system through which the fuel, after being sent to the valve under pressure by the supply device, travels from the inlet to a region upstream of the sealing seat and between the outer surface of the closure means and the inner surface of the nozzle; said pipe system, at the region upstream of the sealing seat, being formed with a number of bores 37, the axis of which has a considerable component parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the injector.
An injection valve comprising a hollow casing, an electromagnetic winding located in said casing, an axially sliding tubular armature in said casing in close proximity to said winding, a hollow nozzle having an axial bore secured to said casing at one end thereof and axially extending therefrom, an axially sliding closure means located within said hollow nozzle comprising a hollow tubular member secured at one end to said armature with the outer surface thereof disposed in sliding engagement with the inner wall surface of said hollow nozzle, said hollow tubular member being closed at one end by a transverse end wall having an axially extending conical part secured thereto on the outer side thereof, a conical seat disposed in said nozzle surrounding said axial nozzle bore complimentary to said conical part for opening and closing said bore, a fuel atomizing deflector connected to said conical part and extending through said nozzle bore, a fuel supply conduit axially extending through said electromagnetic winding, said tubular armature and said hollow tubular member with one end thereof opening into said hollow tubular member adjacent said transverse end wall, a plurality of bores formed in said end wall of said closure means around said conical part, the longitudinal axis of said bore is being placed at an angle less than 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of said closure means and spring means disposed between said one end of said fuel supply conduit and said transverse end wall of said closure means.

An injection valve comprising a hollow casing, an electromagnetic winding located in said casing, an axially sliding tubular armature in said casing in close proximity to said winding, a hollow nozzle having an axial bore secured to said casing at one end thereof and axially extending therefrom, an axially sliding closure means located within said hollow nozzle comprising a hollow tubular member secured at one end to said armature with the outer surface thereof disposed in sliding engagement with the inner wall surface of said hollow nozzle, said hollow tubular member being closed at one end by a transverse end wall having an axially extending conical part secured thereto on the outer side thereof, a conical seat disposed in said nozzle surrounding said axial nozzle bore complimentary to said conical part for opening and closing said bore, a fuel atomizing deflector connected to said conical part and extending through said nozzle bore, a fuel supply conduit axially extending through said electromagnetic winding, said tubular armature and said hollow tubular member with one end thereof opening into said hollow tubular member adjacent said transverse end wall, a plurality of bores formed in said end wall of said closure means around said conical part, the longitudinal axis of said bore is being placed at an angle less than 90° with respect to the longitudinal axis of said closure means and spring means disposed between said one end of said fuel supply conduit and said transverse end wall of said closure means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
83 words
An injection valve as set forth in claim 1, further comprising first and second pairs of counterfaced guide surfaces on the inner surface of said hollow nozzle and the outer surface of said closure means respectively, said first pair of counterfaced guide surfaces being axially spaced from said second pair and said spring means being located within said guide surfaces to exert a force on said transverse end wall in an axial direction opposite to the electromagnetic force exerted by said electromagnetic winding.
