caractérisé en ce que les moyens de guidage (108, 100) comprennent une seconde surface de forme conique, et la première surface (132) entourant le siège de soupape (130) a de façon similaire une forme conique, et en ce que la seconde surface des moyens de guidage et la première surface (132) coopèrent pour former la chambre de tourbillonnement annulaire (136) ayant une forme conique de dimension constante, de façon que lorsque le piston (80) s'écarte du siège de soupape (130), le carburant s'écoule d'une manière conique par l'orifice de dosage (134); et
la première structure de passage comprend un ensemble de passages droits (120), orientés en oblique, qui s'étendent à travers les moyens de guidage de piston (100) et la seconde surface, et qui sont orientés sous des angles obliques par rapport à la première surface (132), de façon que le carburant qui sort de l'ensemble de passages (120) soit directement projeté tangentiellement sur la première surface (132), et s'écoule à l'intérieur de la chambre de tourbillonnement (136) en décrivant une spirale descendante en se dirigeant vers l'orifice de dosage (134).
2. L'injecteur défini dans la revendication 1, dans lequel la seconde structure de passage comprend un premier passage axial (244) qui traverse l'armature et le piston (80), ce premier passage faisant communiquer la chambre de tourbillonnement (136) avec une extrémité (77) de l'armature qui est éloignée du piston (80), et se terminant au niveau d'un trou transversal (246) dans le piston (80), ce trou transversal (246) étant placé à l'extrémité du piston (80) qui est proche de l'extrémité de la chambre de tourbillonnement, au niveau de l'orifice de dosage (134), et dans lequel la seconde structure de passage comprend un second passage axial (248) qui traverse le stator dans une position décalée par rapport au premier passage, pour empêcher l'écoulement de fluide de la chambre de tourbillonnement vers le collecteur d'évacuation pendant des moments au cours desquels l'injecteur est activé, et lorsque l'extrémité (77) de l'armature porte contre une surface (249) du stator (70) qui est placée en regard.
3. L'injecteur défini dans la revendication 1, dans lequel les tailles des passages obliques (120) et de la chambre de tourbillonnement (136) sont conçues de façon que lorsque l'injecteur est activé, la chute de pression la plus importante se produise à cause de la restriction que rencontre le fluide lorsqu'il s'écoule entre le piston (80) et la première surface (132), avant de sortir à travers l'orifice de dosage (134).
4. L'injection défini dans la revendication 3, dans lequel le diamètre des passages rectilignes est compris dans la plage de 0,38 mm à 0,51 mm, l'entrefer est d'environ 0,097 mm et l'écartement entre la première surface et la seconde surface est dans la plage de 0,076 mm à 1,016 mm.
