Definitions
- the invention is based on a fuel injector according to the genus of the main claim.
- resulting fuel injector has one which can be actuated by an actuator by means of a valve needle Valve closing body on that with a valve seat a sealing seat cooperates.
- the fuel injector has a connection part and a functional part.
- On the connector is an electrical connector and a Fuel connection provided.
- the functional part shows the Actuator, a compression spring and a valve seat body on which the valve seat surface is formed. So in that Functional part the whole for actuating the fuel injector required actuator accommodated.
- When connecting the functional part with the Connection part is an electrical contact pin of the Functional part inserted into a socket of the connecting part, whereby the actuator with the electrical connection of the Connection part is connected. It also becomes a fuel channel of the functional part with a fuel channel Connection part sealed.
- the fuel injector known from DE 197 12 591 A1 has the following disadvantages. Because the actuator completely pivoted in the opposite of the connector arranged functional part is housed, that Valve housing of the fuel injector bends on. This will introduce the fuel injector in a connecting piece of the internal combustion engine difficult, the fuel injector in particular not inserted into a cylindrical connector can be. In particular, this can Fuel injector is not in a cylindrical Location bore of a cylinder head can be used, such as this is directly in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine injecting fuel injectors is required.
- the arrangement of the electrical connector is the Swivel angle of the fuel injector already at To specify manufacture of the connector. A change in Swivel angle ⁇ can therefore only by changing the Manufacturing process can be achieved. Because the fuel injector divided into connecting part and functional part is, in the functional part the entire Actuator is housed in the this document- invention described only for this special fuel injector.
- DE 197 03 836 A1 already discloses an electromagnetically actuated injection valve known that for the intake manifold injection in mixture-compression-ignition Internal combustion engines is suitable.
- the fuel injector has a magnetic circuit on, which is arranged outside a tube housing. With the magnetic circuit is a internal armature activated in the radial direction and the movement similar to one Toggle press converted into an axial stroke.
- the tube housing is kinked designed to be able to arrange the spray point variably and deep in the intake manifold.
- a valve needle that is movable at an angle to the alignment of the magnetic circuit acts together with a valve seat. When the solenoid is excited, the Transfer armature movement via spring elements to the valve needle, so that this one can execute desired stroke.
- the fuel injector according to the invention with the has characteristic features of the main claim in contrast, the advantage that the swivel angle is independent adjusted by the special shape of the valve housing can be, so that the fuel injector universal can be used.
- the Actuator regardless of the angular position of the Valve needle arranged in the fuel injector be, so that the invention for any fuel injectors suitable.
- valve seat surface is advantageously on one Valve seat body formed, which on a spherical Connection surface on a valve housing of the fuel injector is applied. This makes the valve seat body and the valve housing on top of each other matched so that only when attaching the Valve seat body on the valve housing of the swivel angle must be determined.
- valve seat body is concave at the connection surface is trained.
- valve housing has a recess has, through which the valve needle protrudes, wherein it is particularly advantageous if the cross section of the Recess for stepless adjustment of the swivel angle is larger than the cross section of the valve needle.
- This allows the manufacture of the valve housing and the Valve seat body regardless of the one to be set Swivel angle take place, the desired swivel angle can be set individually.
- the Valve seat body with the valve housing through a The weld angle can be connected using the swivel angle low manufacturing costs can be determined.
- the valve seat body can be used also attached to the valve body with a union nut his.
- the actuator is advantageously piezoelectric or magnetostrictive, which makes a variable Valve needle stroke of the valve needle and a large Result in operating force.
- the actuator has a Actuating element acts on the valve needle.
- the injection-side valve area of the fuel injector be made slim. This is particularly useful when using the fuel injector as an injection valve for direct Injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine because in Area of the mounting piece on the combustion chamber of the Internal combustion engine in general only a small one Installation space is available.
- valve needle head Valve needle on. It is advantageous that the control side of the actuating element and / or the valve needle head is partially spherical or lenticular. Thereby is independent of the set swivel angle Fit between valve needle and actuator ensured.
- the actuator has an actuator sealing actuator pot acts on the valve needle. Thereby this results in a compact structure of the fuel injector.
- An end face of the actuator pot is advantageously located on a valve needle head of the valve needle. It is advantageous it that the end face of the actuator pot and / or the Valve needle head partially spherical or lenticular is trained. This makes it independent of that set swivel angle the fit between the Actuator and the actuator ensured.
- Fig. 1 shows an axial excerpt Sectional view of a fuel injector according to the invention 1.
- the fuel injector 1 is used especially for direct fuel injection, especially of gasoline in a combustion chamber mixture-compressing, spark-ignited internal combustion engine as so-called gasoline direct injection valve.

- the actuator cup 11 is with a sealing plate 14 on a fastening surface 15 connected. This is an actuator chamber 16 in which the Actuator 10 is located hermetically against an interior 17 of the Fuel injector 1 sealed.
- the sealing plate 14 has at least one recess 18, which are part of a leading into the interior 17 Fuel line 19a to 19d, 18 is.
- the actuator 10 acts on the actuator pot 11 Actuator 25 a.
- the actuating element 25 has a pressure plate 26 which has an enlarged cross section. It also points out Actuator 25 has a section 27, the one has reduced diameter.
- the actuator 25 will guided by guide elements 28, 29, the slit-shaped Have recesses 30a, 30b, 31a, 31b through which the Fuel from the interior 17 into a fuel chamber 32 flows.
- FIG. 1 designated II section of the fuel injector 1 received.
- FIG. 2. 1 and 2 are the same for matching elements same reference numerals used.
