- the flexible one Section 26 has one end in the area of downstream end of the actuator housing 9 and with the other end on the intermediate piece 34 hermetically sealed.
- the second coupler section 24 is piston-shaped educated.
- the first coupler section 23 has a first one Coupler face 28 and the second coupler section 24 has a second coupler face 29, the coupler faces 28, 29 at the opposite ends of the Coupler sections 23, 24 are arranged.
- the second coupler portion 24 is smaller in diameter is as the first coupler section 23, is also the first Coupler face 28 larger than the second coupler face 29th
- the two coupler sections 23, 24 are through a gap 27 spaced.
- the size of the gap 27 is defined by the axial Displaceability of the coupler sections between 0 and for example, 50 microns variable.
- a hydraulic volume 17 arranged, which through the coupler housing 25 and the both coupler sections 23, 24 is limited, wherein in This embodiment, the hydraulic volume 17 via a first generated by a first annular gap 32 first Throttle 30 and a through a second annular gap 33 generated second throttle body 31 with the fuel-filled interior of the housing 5 in conjunction stands.
- a second flange 15 is arranged in the region of the downstream end of the second coupler section 24 in the region of the downstream end of the second coupler section 24 .
- One second spring element 21 is between the second flange 15th and the downstream thickened edge of the coupler housing 25th clamped and biases the second coupler section 24 easy in spray direction.
- the valve needle 8 is arranged outflow side of the second Coupler section 24, the valve needle 8 is arranged.
- the valve needle 8 has a Valve-closing body 7 and engages through an am ejection-side end of the housing 5 is arranged Valve seat body 6.
- the valve seat body 6 has a centered ejection opening 12 and a Valve seat surface 13, which communicates with the valve closing body. 7 cooperates to a sealing seat.
- the fuel injection valve 1 opens to the outside.
- compensation elements 36 which, for example made of Invar steel, compensate for the Temperature - related changes in length, which are the size of the Crevices could affect, so that the size of the gap 27th just before a start of the engine from hot and cold state at 0 microns.
- the fuel pressure is usually at 0.5 MPa, as a mechanical drive of a pump through the internal combustion engine is not possible. Instead, it will the fuel pressure usually by an electric driven pump generates, without much effort To operate, only about 0.3 to 0.7 MPa applies.
- both hotter and cooler Internal combustion engine usually a multiple of the Full load fuel injected. This is going through extended valve opening times or longer Actors excited reached.
- conventional Fuel injection valves in particular in Hot start phases, escapes from the hydraulic coupler in These starting phases so much hydraulic medium that the Valve-closing body 7 is no longer sufficient by the actuator 2 can be operated. The seal closes too soon and the required amount of fuel can not be injected.
- inventive Fuel injector 1 is in startup phases the Valve needle 8 and the valve closing body 7 directly, without Intermediate layer of a hydraulic cushion, actuated.
- the size of the Gaps 27 ideally between 25 and 100 microns.
- Fuel pressure 10 MPa or more
- the size of the Gaps 27 ideally between 25 and 100 microns.
- the increased fuel pressure which axially in each case opposite directions on the two coupler sections 23, 24 over the two coupler surfaces 28, 29th acts, causes a compression in the axial direction of the
- made of aluminum intermediate piece 34 whereby during operation of the coupler 3, the functions, Stroke ratio and / or compensation of temperature-related Length changes of the actuator 2, can take over.
- the invention is not limited to those shown Embodiments limited and z. B. also for internal opening fuel injectors are used.
