Die Federzungen 2 weisen einen Spitzenabstand d1 auf, der kleiner ist als der Abstand d2. Die Befestigungsvorrichtung 1 kann über die Federzungen 2, die in eine Haltenut einsetzbar sind, an dem Brennstoffeinspritzventil befestigt werden. Es ist dabei möglich, die Befestigungsvorrichtung 1 seitlich aufzuschieben. In Längsrichtung der Achse 3 besteht dann eine kraftschlüssige Verbindung. An die Federzungen 2 schließen sich im vorliegenden Fall zwei Federelemente 4 an, die in Richtung der Achse 3 sowohl auf Druck, wie auch auf Zug federn können.The
In
Die Federelemente 4 weisen in Bezug auf die Längsrichtung der Achse 3 sowohl eine Federkonstante auf für eine Kraft, die den Abstand der Ausnehmungen 6 gegenüber den Federzungen 2 vergrößern will, als auch eine zweite Federkonstante für eine Kraft, die diesen Abstand zu verringern sucht. Es können somit in einem gewissen Elastizitätsbereich Kräfte zwischen den Aufnahmen 6 und den Federzungen 2 in Richtung der Achse 3 sowohl auf Druck wie auch auf Zug mit einem dazwischenliegenden neutralen Bereich übertragen werden.
Im Fall einer Demontage kann das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 9 zusammen mit der Brennstoffverteilerleitung 10 demontiert werden. Wenn die Brennstoffverteilerleitung 10 in Gegenrichtung zu der Strömungsrichtung des Brennstoffs in der Zulaufbohrung 15 gezogen wird, so wird jedes Federelement 4 über seinen Ruhepunkt hinweggezogen und übt nun keine Druckkraft auf das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 9 mehr aus. Vielmehr wird eine Zugkraft über die Haltenut 17 auf- das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 9 übertragen und das Brennstoffeinspritzventil 9 von einem Zylinderkopf weggezogen. Es kann somit zusammen mit der Brennstoffverteilerleitung 10 demontiert werden.In the case of disassembly, the
