In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist das brennraumferne Ende 6 der Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung 1 vergrößert in zwei verschiedenen Längsschnittansichten dargestellt. Die Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung 1 umfasst einen Gehäusekörper 20, der ein- oder mehrteilig ausgeführt sein kann. In dem brennraumfernen Ende des Gehäusekörpers 20 ist eine Magnetgruppe 22 in einem Rücklaufdruckraum 24 untergebracht.In the Figures 2 and 3 the combustion chamber remote end 6 of the fuel injection device 1 is shown enlarged in two different longitudinal sectional views. The fuel injection device 1 comprises a housing body 20, which may be made in one or more parts. In the combustion chamber remote end of the housing body 20, a magnet group 22 is housed in a return pressure chamber 24.

Die Magnetgruppe 22 umfasst einen Magnetaktor 25 mit einer Magnetspule 26, die mit einem Magnetanker 27 zusammenwirkt. Der Magnetanker 27 ist durch einen Führungsbolzen 28 von der Magnetspule 26 weg und auf die Magnetspule 26 zu bewegbar geführt. Der Führungsbolzen 28 ist an einer Stützplatte 30 abgestützt, die den Rücklaufdruckraum 24 in axialer Richtung begrenzt. In radialer Richtung wird der Rücklaufdruckraum 24 von dem Gehäusekörper 20 begrenzt.The magnet group 22 comprises a magnetic actuator 25 with a magnetic coil 26 which cooperates with a magnetic armature 27. The magnet armature 27 is guided away from the magnet coil 26 by a guide pin 28 and towards the magnet coil 26.

In the radial direction of the return pressure chamber 24 is bounded by the housing body 20.

Der Magnetanker 27 ist durch eine Schraubendruckfeder 31, durch die sich der Führungsbolzen 28 hindurch erstreckt, von der Magnetspule 26 weg vorgespannt. Der Magnetaktor 25 mit der Magnetspule 26 ist durch eine Tellerfeder 32 von der Stützplatte 30 weg vorgespannt und wird über einen elektrischen Anschluss 33 angesteuert.The armature 27 is biased away from the solenoid 26 by a helical compression spring 31 through which the guide pin 28 extends. The magnetic actuator 25 with the magnetic coil 26 is biased by a plate spring 32 away from the support plate 30 and is driven via an electrical connection 33.

Von der Magnetspule 26 der Magnetgruppe 22 gehen, wie man in Figur 3 sieht, zwei elektrische Anschlusselemente 35, 36 aus, die sich durch ein elektrisches Anschlussstück 34 hindurch in einen Anschlusskörper 60 erstrecken, der aus Kunststoffmaterial 62 gebildet ist, mit dem das brennraumferne Ende 6 der Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung 1 umspritzt ist. In Figur 2 sieht man, dass sich das Anschlusselement 35 an seinem Ende quer zur Längsrichtung der Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung 1 erstreckt.From the magnetic coil 26 of the magnetic group 22 go, as you can in FIG. 3 See, two electrical connection elements 35, 36 which extend through an electrical connector 34 into a connector body 60 which is formed of plastic material 62, with which the combustion chamber distal end 6 of the fuel injection device 1 is encapsulated. In FIG. 2 it can be seen that the connecting element 35 extends at its end transversely to the longitudinal direction of the fuel injection device 1.

Von dem Rücklaufdruckraum 24 gehen zwei Rücklaufkanäle 41, 42 aus, die in einen gemeinsamen Rücklaufverbindungskanal 44 eines Rücklaufanschlusses 40 münden. Die Rücklaufkanäle 41, 42 erstrecken sich radial außerhalb einer Abstützstelle 45 für den Führungsbolzen 28 so durch die Stützplatte 30 hindurch, dass sie zusammen mit dem Rücklaufverbindungskanal 44 im Längsschnitt ein Ypsilon darstellen, das in Figur 2 auf dem Kopf steht.From the return pressure chamber 24 go two return channels 41, 42, which open into a common return connection channel 44 of a return port 40.

Der Rücklaufverbindungskanal 44 mündet an seinem brennraumfernen Ende in den Anschlusskörper 60, durch den sich auch die beiden elektrischen Anschlusselemente 35 und 36 hindurch erstrecken. Von dem brennraumfernen Ende des Rücklaufverbindungskanals 44 erstrecken sich zwei quer verlaufende Rücklaufanschlusskanäle 51, 52, im dargestellten Beispiel in Form von Leitungsstücken, durch das Kunststoffmaterial 62 hindurch, das den Anschlusskörper 60 bildet. An den Rücklaufanschlusskanal 51 ist die Verbindungsleitung 18 angeschlossen. Das in Figur 3 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel mit den beiden Rücklaufanschlusskanälen 51, 52 stellt ein T-Stück dar. Alternativ kann mit Hilfe von nur einem der Rücklaufanschlusskanäle 51, 52 analog ein L-Stück dargestellt werden.The return connection channel 44 opens at its end remote from the combustion chamber into the connection body 60, through which the two electrical connection elements 35 and 36 also extend. From the combustion chamber-remote end of the return connection channel 44, two transverse return connection channels 51, 52, in the example shown in the form of line sections, extend through the plastic material 62, which forms the connection body 60. To the return port channel 51, the connecting line 18 is connected. This in FIG. 3 illustrated embodiment with the two return connection channels 51, 52 represents a T-piece. Alternatively, with the help of only one of the return connection channels 51, 52 analogous to an L-piece are shown.

Gemäß einem wesentlichen Aspekt der Erfindung wird der Rücklaufanschluss 40 direkt in die Magnetgruppenumspritzung integriert. Zu diesem Zweck kann ein Rücklaufanschlussstück an die Stützplatte geschweißt und anschließend mit Kunststoffmaterial umspritzt werden. Die Erfindung umfasst auch eine Ausführung ganz aus Kunststoff, wobei das Anschlussstück, zum Beispiel in Form eines T-Stücks oder L-Stücks, in die Stützplatte 30 gesteckt und mittels eines O-Rings abgedichtet und anschließend umspritzt wird. Des Weiteren kann der Rücklaufanschluss in ein Umspritzungswerkzeug integriert werden, mit welchem das brennraumferne Ende der Kraftstoffeinspritzvorrichtung umspritzt wird.According to an essential aspect of the invention, the return port 40 is integrated directly into the magnet group injection molding.

  2. Fuel injection device according to Claim 1, characterized in that the return connection (40) and the electrical connection (33) are partially extrusion-coated with plastic material (62).
  3. Fuel injection device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the fuel injection device (1) comprises a magnet assembly (22) which is at least partially extrusion-coated with plastic material (62) together with the return connection (40) and the electrical connection (33).
  4. Fuel injection device according to Claim 1, characterized in that, radially outside an inner support point (45) of the support plate (30), at least one return duct (41, 42) extends from the return chamber (24) in the fuel injection device (1).
  5. Fuel injection device according to Claim 1, characterized in that, radially outside an inner support point (45) of the support plate (30), a plurality of return ducts (41, 42) extend from the return chamber (24) in the fuel injection device (1), which return ducts open into a central return joining duct (44).
  6. Fuel injection device according to Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that a return connection duct (51, 52) which runs perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the fuel injection device (1) extends from the return duct (41, 42) or from the return joining duct (44).
  7. Fuel injection device according to Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that two return connection ducts (51, 52) which run perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the fuel injection device (1) extend from the return duct (41, 42) or from the return joining duct (44).
  8. Fuel injection device according to one of Claims 4, 5, 6 or 7, characterized in that, at the inner support point (45), a guide pin (28) and/or a spring device are/is supported at the inside on the support plate (30).
