  • the axial force can be transmitted by hydraulic pressure exerted on the needle. needle head.
  • the high pressure now acts on the needle 72 by generating on the head an axial closing force directed towards the point and, on the point, an axial opening force of lower intensity directed towards the head.
  • injectors 10 without any device artificially reducing the pressure on the side of the tip, such as the calibrated orifice or the collar mentioned above. Indeed, rather than reducing the pressure and the force corresponding to the tip of the needle, which corresponds to a loss of energy, it now appears that the piston widens makes it possible to increase the force on the needle head without any loss of energy, the pressure of the fuel injected through the injection holes 98 being the pressure at which the fuel enters the injector 10 without there being any deliberate loss of pressure.
  • the main difference lies in the shape of the axial bore 108 of the top guide and that of the movable piston 114.
  • the bore 108 is made in a top section 170 serving only as a sliding guide for the piston 114, said top section 170 being of smaller diameter than the bottom section which forms the top sliding guide 110 in which the head of the needle 132 is located.
  • the two sections 170, 110 are connected by a connecting disc surface 172 which can, as is shown in the figures be slightly conical.
  • the movable piston 114 comprises a cylindrical body 174, arranged to slide in the top section 170 of the axial bore 108, a low flange 176 arranged in the control chamber 112 and a connecting shoulder 178 between the flange 176 and the body 174 of the piston.
  • the piston is further provided with an axial orifice opening 180 which, according to the alternative shown, comprises a restriction of section 182.
  • the piston 114 is provided with a small calibrated channel 184 s 'extending radially and joining the outer face of piston 114 to the axial orifice 180. This calibrated channel 184 establishes a permanent hydraulic connection between the high pressure inlet and said axial orifice 180.
  • the fourth high pressure duct 156 opens into the axial bore 108 just above the flange 176.
  • the movable piston 114 can, like the previous description, move between a high position or closed position PFP in which the shoulder 178 of the piston is in sealing contact against the disc surface 172 of the bore and, a low position, or open position POP in which the shoulder 178 and the surface disc 172 are distant from each other.
  • the second control chamber 160 can only be filled with fuel passing between the piston 114 and the top section 170 of the bore 108. This filling can take a relatively long time and, without this solution being able to be ruled out, the production of the calibrated channel 184 seems to be preferred.
  • the high pressure fuel enters the control chamber 112, following the path of the arrow F2, passing between the shoulder 178 and the disc surface 172 and pressurizes said chamber. 112 so as to push the needle 72 into the closed position PFA.
