- the fuel injection valve unit comprises here two independently operating fuel injection valve needles 2, 22 in a common body, each provided with a necessary devices for operating the valve needle, even if not shown here.
- the first fuel injection valve needle 2 is referred to for describe the structure and the operation of the both needles 2,22. That is, because they are of similar structure regarding to operation and are comprised of corresponding elements although they may be dimensioned for use with different manner.
- a fuel is supplied to the valve unit via a fuel inlet 9 which is connectable to a common rail system 40 of the combustion piston engine.
- the fuel injection valve unit is provided with means arranged to the flow path, and for controlling the fuel flow, between the common rail system 40 and the fuel inlet 9 of the valve needles 2, 22.

- the accumulator 16 is arranged to supply the high pressure fuel to the fuel inlet 9 and to the fuel space 6.
- the accumulator 16 is a common to the both fuel injection needle 2, 22.
- the valve needle 2, 22 comprises a first end 3 and a second end 4.
- the first end comprises the needle tip and sealing surfaces of the needle and the second end comprises a piston part used for controlling the position of the valve needle 2, 22.
- the valve unit 1 is provided with a space 6 for each one of the valve needles, which is called here as a fuel space 6 since the fuel inlet 9 is arranged to open into the fuel space 6 and the fuel space 6 is provided with fuel injection opening 8 i.e. one or more orifices at it first end. Even the in the figure 1 each valve needle is provided with a dedicated fuel space 6, it is conceivable that a valve unit can be provided with a common fuel space for multiple needles.
- the first end of fuel injection valve needle is arranged to open or close a flow communication between the fuel space 6 and the fuel injection opening 8 by its longitudinal i.e. axial movement.
- the valve unit 1 in provided with a spring 18 which is arranged to urge the valve needle 2 towards its closing position i.e. towards moving the first end against the opening 8.
- the valve unit 1 is provided with a cylindrical support section 12 which is arranged to support the valve needle 2, 22 and guide the valve needle to be movable along its central axis A.
- the cylindrical support section 12 has a cylindrical space inside into which the second end of fuel injection valve needle is arranged to extend.
- the space defined and bordered by the second end of the injection valve needle 5, the side wall of the cylindrical support section and the bottom (or top in the figure) of the cylindrical support section forms a control space 7.
- the control space 7 is provided with a discharge channel 10 via which the control space 7 is connectable with a low pressure part of the fuel system such as a fuel return 26 line to a fuel tank 28.
- the control space 7 is also provided here with a fuel supply channel 34 which connects continuously the control space 7 to the fuel inlet channel 9 at a position downstream the fuel fuse 24.
- the fuel supply channel serves for introduction of pressurized fuel into the control space.
- the fuel supply channel is provided with a constriction part by means of which the flow rate into the control space is kept at desired level.
- control valve 5 arranged in connection with the control space 7, in the discharge channel 10.
- the function of the control valve is to open or close a flow connection from the control space 7 to a fuel discharge channel 10 thus selectively lowering the pressure in the control space 7.
- the control valve is controlled by a solenoid 19.
- the fuel injection valve needle is at least partially circumscribed by the cylindrical support section 12.
- the valve needle is arranged to extend into the control space through said supporting section 12.
- the valve needle 2 has a cylindrical outer surface which is arranged against the inner surface of the cylindrical support section 12.
- a contact area 14 between the cylindrical support section 12 and the valve needle 2 is provided with a grooving 13.

- the control edge at the side of the control space 7 is formed such that the cylindrical support section 12 has a first diameter where the contact area 14 is formed and a second diameter, greater than the first diameter, in the control space 7. This way there is a distinct edge formed into the wall of the cylindrical support section 12 and the axial length of the contact area and support section 12 is independent on the position of the valve needle 2 and it has a constant length D.
- the control edges 30,32 are formed by a change in the diameter of the cylindrical support section 12. This way also the length of a flow path of fuel flowing from the fuel space 6 through the grooving is independent on the actual position of the valve needle 2, 22.
- the fuel injection unit operates so that in its non-active state i.e. when no injection take place, the control valve 5 is closed.
- the fuel space 6 is always filled with pressurized fuel ready to be injected via the opening 8.
- the control space is now filled with pressurized fuel and as a result of the balance of forces created by the fuel pressure in the control space 7 and in the fuel space 6, and the force of the spring 18 to the valve needle 2, the valve needle 2 stays at the its closing position pressing the tip at its first end against a sealing surface at the opening 8.
- the opening movement of the valve needle 2 is activated by opening the control valve 5.
- the removal of the fuel from the control space 7 causes the pressure in the control space to decrease and as a result of the decreased pressure the balance of forces subjected to the valve needle 2 changes such that the valve needle starts to move away from the opening 8.
- the control valve 5 is open and the pressure in the control space 7 has decreased a predetermined flow rate of fuel is entering into the control space via the grooving 13 in the contract area 14 between the support section 12 and the valve needle 2.
- the fuel supply channel 34 provides also a continuous flow connection between the control space 7 and the pressurized fuel in the fuel inlet channel 9. This flow of fuel into the control space 7 only partially compensates amount of fuel discharged from the control space 7 and effects on the opening rate or speed of the valve needle 2.
- control space 7 fills with pressurized fuel and the force balance acting on the valve needle 2 changes such that the needle is moved back to close the opening 8.
- the pressure in the control space creates a force urging the injection valve needle 2 towards the first end of the valve needle 2, 22.
- Figure 1 discloses particularly an embodiment of the invention where the fuel supply channel 34 between the inlet channel 9 and the control space 7 is short and is provided with a throttle.
- the grooving 13 in turn is dimensioned so that it operates in a viscosity sensitive manner such that when in use the fuel flow in the grooving, during the control valve 5 is open as described above, is fully developed and the Reynolds number is below its critical value.
- the length/cross sectional area of the grooving is more than 10.
- the Reynolds number is preferred to be relatively low so that the flow is to occur as laminar flow.
- FIG 2 there is shown one fuel injector valve needle 2 where in addition to the grooving 13 in the contact are between the cylindrical support section 12 and the valve needle 2 there is a fuel supply channel 34 which operates in a viscosity sensitive manner.
- the opening rate of the injector needle 2 is effected by the viscosity of the fuel used.
- the fuel supply channel 34 in the figure 2 has a straight section 34' having a circular cross section and its length/diameter ratio greater than 10.
- the shape of the groove can be of any possible groove geometries, for instance rectangular, v-, bell or round shapes.
- the groove pitch can be different and variable. Also using multiple grooves is conceivable.
- FIG 3 there is shown an embodiment which is otherwise similar and which operates similar to that in the figure 1 except that the grooving 13 in connection with the second injection needle 22 is arranged to the inner wall of the cylindrical support section 12.
- the fuel injection unit 1 comprises two independently operable fuel injection valve needles 2,22.
- the needles are dimensioned differently for injecting different amounts of fuel.
- the grooving 13 in the contact area 14 is dimensioned based on the individual requirement of the respective injection needle 2, 22.
- the contact area 14 of each cylindrical support section 12 is provided with different grooving 13 and this way the opening rate of the first valve needle 2 is different from the opening rate of the second valve needle 22 even when using the same fuel at substantially same pressure and temperature level.
- Different grooving 13 affects to net flow in the control space 7. Therefore the needle opening rate is different for differently grooved needles and/ or contact area 14.
- the grooving 13 in the contact are between the cylindrical support section 12 and the valve needle 2 is a sole connection from the fuel inlet 9 to the control space 7.
- the grooving serves as a supply channel which connects continuously the control space 7 to the fuel inlet channel 9 at a position downstream the fuel fuse 24.
- the grooving 13 alone serves for introduction of pressurized fuel into the control space.
- the opening rate of the injector needle 2 is effected by the viscosity of the fuel used when flowing through the grooving 13.
- the shape of the groove can be of any possible groove geometries, for instance rectangular, v-, bell or round shapes.
- the groove pitch can be different and variable. Also using of multiple grooves is conceivable.
