  • valve assembly for an injection valve for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine, which valve assembly contains a valve needle, a valve spring and an electromagnetic actuator with a coil, a pole piece and a movable armature.
  • the armature is set up to be moved in the axial direction towards the pole piece out of a first position by a predefined idle travel into a second position and from that by a predefined actuating travel into a third position, wherein the armature acts only between the second and the third position on the valve needle to move the valve needle to a fourth position.
  • a spring element bears against the armature, in order to press the armature in the direction of the first position.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the fuel injector according to claim 1. Further embodiments of the fuel injector are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • a fuel injector is disclosed.
  • the fuel injector is in particular a fuel injector for a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine.
  • the injector comprises an inlet for fuel and a fuel line which connects the inlet to a valve. It further comprises an armature which is movably arranged between a first and a third position.
  • the injector comprises a valve body which defines at least a section of the fuel line.
  • the armature is preferably positioned in a recess of the valve body.
  • the first and third positions are in particular axial positions of the armature with respect to a longitudinal axis of the valve body.
  • the fuel injector comprises a valve needle which is movably arranged along an axis, in particular the longitudinal axis of the valve body.
  • the valve needle is operable to control an opening of the valve.
  • the valve comprises a seat and a sealing element.
  • the sealing element is in particular comprised by the valve needle; for example it is represented by a tip of the valve needle.
  • the valve needle is in particular operable to prevent fuel flow through an injection opening of the valve when it is in a closing position. In the closing position, the sealing element may expediently be in sealing mechanical contact with the seat.
  • the valve needle is in particular axially displaceable away from the closing position for unsealing the valve.
  • the fuel injector comprises a retainer element which is fixed to or in one piece with the valve needle.
  • the retainer element is positioned arranged adjacent to an axial end region of the valve needle which is remote from the sealing element.
  • a first spring element is arranged between the armature and a member of the fuel injector.
  • the first spring element is axially compressed by the armature and the member so that it is preloaded.
  • the first spring element is operable to bias the armature away from the retainer element, i.e. in particular in axial direction towards the first position.
  • the fuel injector further comprises an actuator for moving the armature from the first position to the third position, via a second position.
  • the armature In the first position, the armature is at a first distance to the retainer element.
  • the armature engages the retainer element to displace the valve needle away from the closing position.
  • the armature acts only between the second and the third position on the valve needle to move the valve needle for unsealing the valve.
  • the first spring element is arranged in a spring receptacle, at least in places.

  • the first spring element projects from the second recess on one axial side of the member and the channel opens out into the further recess at the opposite axial side of the member or at a circumferential surface of the member.
  • the proposed fuel injector provides the advantage that hydraulic dampening effects during the opening or closing the fuel injector are reduced. For example hydraulic dampening is reduced or eliminated during movement of the valve needle and/or the armature. This technical effect is attained by the channel(s) of the armature and/or the member that is/are connected with the first or second recess, respectively, and the further recess of the fuel injector.
  • the invention makes use of the idea that the channel reduces pressure changes that may be generated in the spring receptacle by moving the armature and/or the valve needle. For example, during the movement of the armature towards the retainer element, fuel may be pressed towards the first and/or second recesses. Since the recesses are arranged in the fuel line and already filled up with fuel, this may lead to an increase of the fuel pressure in the recess(es) impeding further movement of the armature and/or the valve needle.

  • Fig. 6 depicts a schematic view on the further stopping face 24 of the armature 12 of the first and second embodiment, wherein the first recess 32 is cylindrical and the hole 13 opens into a bottom surface of the first recess 32.
  • Fig. 7 depicts a schematic view on the lower surface 28 of the retainer element 17 according to the first embodiment, wherein the second recess 33 is cylindrical and the valve needle 5 extends through the second recess 32.
  • the valve needle 5 is radially spaced from a lateral surface of the second recess 33.
  • FIG.8 depicts a schematic view on the stopping face 23 of the stopping element 22 according to the third embodiment with a circular second recess 33 at an outer rim area.
  • first and the second recess 32, 33 may have different shapes.
  • first recess, the second recess and the further second recess 32, 33, 38 are axial symmetric with regard to the longitudinal axis 14 that is a middle axis of the fuel injector 1.
  • the axial lengths of the first, second and/or further second recesses 32, 33, 38 are similar or equal or different.
  • the width of the first, second and further second recesses 32, 33, 38 may be different, although equal widths are preferred in particular in case of a first spring element 34 having the same lateral dimensions at both axial ends.
  • the retainer element 17 may be embodied as a ring that is fixed to the valve needle 5, for example by a welding connection and/or a crimped connection.
  • the retainer element may be embodied in one part and in one material with the valve needle.
  • the disc element 20 may be embodied as a ring plate that is fixed to the valve needle 5 for example by a welding connection.
  • the ring plate may have an L-shaped cross-section.
  • the disc element may be embodied in one part and in one material with the valve needle.
  • each or only one of the spring receptacles 35 may be connected by a channel 36 and/or a further channel 40 that connect the spring receptacles 35 with the further recess 37.
