  • known fuel injection valve is a piston-shaped valve member axially displaceable in arranged a valve body and has at its combustion chamber end a conical valve sealing surface. With this conical valve sealing surface, the valve member acts arranged with one at a closed end of a bore in the valve body conical valve seat surface together, being at the contact line between Valve sealing surface and valve seat surface is formed a sealing cross-section.
  • this Sealing cross-section are in the fuel flow direction downstream injection ports arranged downstream, which are arranged in the wall of the valve body and the starting from the bore in the valve body open on the outer circumferential surface and in protrude the combustion chamber of the engine to be supplied.
  • These are Injection openings on the known fuel injection valve conical, wherein the cross section of the injection openings of a relatively large diameter at Fuel inlet to a relatively small diameter at the fuel outlet evenly reduced conically.
  • the known fuel injection valve has the disadvantage that all Injection openings have the same conicity, so that it is not possible to Fuel injection jet at each injection port separately to the respective requirements to individually adapt to the individual Einsprittstrahl within the combustion chamber.
  • This individual optimization of the individual beam geometries at each Injection opening comes in particular in an off-center or oblique Installation position of the fuel injection valve in the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine, however a significant importance, since it is only possible, the fuel injection in terms of the beam geometry and the beam conditioning optimally to the respective Adjust conditions in the combustion chamber of the engine and so an optimal Fuel preparation and combustion to produce.
  • Such a beam geometry optimization at each jet entry is however with the known fuel injection valve not possible.
  • the fuel injection valve according to the invention for internal combustion engines with the Characteristic features of claim 1 has the advantage over the other hand on that at each injection port an optimization of the injection jet geometry in Depending on local needs is possible.

  • the differently formed Injection openings may be arranged in a row over the circumference of the injection valve can.
  • a plurality of axially superimposed to provide arranged rows of injection openings on the fuel injection valve the also via a corresponding control of the axially movable valve member can be alsêtbar one after the other.
  • the fuel inflow into the injection opening particularly advantageous if the inlet edges on the Injection opening are rounded with a radius. This is already possible here turbulences and thus avoid the emergence of low pressure areas, so that the fuel inflow into the injection opening can be made uniform. This also aids in shaping the fuel flow within the injection port in the desired jet geometry of the injected at the outlet of the injection opening Fuel jet.
  • each injection port each as required by the flow of the fuel and the jet geometry at the exit provided with an individual optimized conicity, wherein the cone angle of the corresponding injection port can be positive or negative.
  • FIG 1 shows a first embodiment in a simplified partial section through the combustion chamber-side tip of the fuel injection valve, in which the Injection openings have a negative cone angle
  • the figure 2 a second Embodiment in a section through the combustion chamber side part of Valve body, wherein the juxtaposed injection ports to each other are offset and have different positive cone angles

  • a valve member 3 is axially displaceable in a known manner guided, which at its lower illustrated, combustion chamber end a conical Valve sealing surface 5, with which it has a valve seat surface 7 on the valve body. 1 interacts.
  • This valve seat surface 7 is at a closed end of a Bore 9 formed in the valve body 1 and also has a conical cross section on, wherein the cone angle of the valve seat surface 7 slightly from the cone angle of the Valve sealing surface 5 deviates on the valve member 3.
  • valve seat surface 7 and valve sealing surface 5 are further a Variety of injection openings 13 are provided, starting from the wall of the Bore 9 open to the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 1 and not in shown in detail in the combustion chamber of the engine to be supplied protrude.
  • injection ports are intended depending on the requirements the fuel flow and the injection jet to be sprayed be conical, wherein in the first embodiment shown in Figure 1 is a negative Conicity is shown, in which the cone angle is chosen such that the Cross section of the injection opening in the flow direction of the fuel from a relative small inlet diameter on the wall of the hole 9 steadily into a larger one Outlet diameter on the outer peripheral wall of the valve body 1 increases.
  • the injection openings 13 should be different from each other Have cone angle, that of the position of the respective injection port in the valve body 1 and the arrangement of the entire fuel injection valve in the combustion chamber to supplying internal combustion engine are dependent.
  • Fuel injection valve differs from the first shown in FIG Embodiment in the arrangement and configuration of the injection openings 13 in the wall of the valve body 1.
  • the injection openings 13 now have a positive conicity, wherein the diameter d1 at the entrance to the injection port 13th is formed larger than the diameter d2 at the outlet opening of the Injection opening 13 in the combustion chamber of the engine to be supplied.
