An anti-reflection device for preventing the reflection of pressure waves inside a fuel injection valve. The anti-reflection device includes an essentially cylindrical base body with a first base side, a second base side, and an outer surface. The anti-reflection device also includes a longitudinal axis orientated parallel to a propagation direction of a pressure wave. The longitudinal axis penetrating the first base side and the second base side. The anti-reflection device also includes a flow path for fuel formed between the first base side and the second base side. The flow path forming a curve around the longitudinal axis.

A nozzle assembly includes a body, a valve member, and a clamp member maintaining a flow director member against the body. The flow director member is sandwiched between the peripheral wall and the clamp member, and is provided with an outlet path including two distinct guidance channels extending from an upstream end and a common downstream end where is a spray hole. The outlet path creates impingement of the two flow streams flowing in the two channels before entering the spray hole.

A fuel injector for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines has an excitable actuator for activating a valve closing element, which forms a sealing seat together with a valve face implemented on a valve seat element. Multiple spray-discharge openings are implemented in the valve seat element downstream from the valve face. The fuel injector is distinguished in that the spray-discharge openings include at least one upstream first spray-discharge opening section and one downstream second spray-discharge opening section having a different opening width and a wall area of the second spray-discharge opening section of all spray-discharge openings on a semi-circle runs either parallel or at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the valve seat element having the spray-discharge openings. The valve seat element is manufactured using metal injection molding methods.

A valve includes a housing that surrounds a fluid outlet, a valve element with a longitudinal axis, a valve seat body that surrounds a fluid inlet and which has a sealing seat such that the valve is closed when the valve element bears against the sealing seat and which is coupled to the housing. The valve element is movable relative to the valve seat body in a direction of the longitudinal axis to enable a fluid flow from the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet, the valve seat body surrounds a guide surface to which the valve element is coupled in order to guide the movement of the valve element, and the valve seat body is formed from a harder material than the housing.

In an electromagnetic fuel injection valve, a plurality of recess parts are provided in an attracted face of a movable core, the recess parts dividing a taper face of the movable core into a plurality of sections along a peripheral direction of the movable core. Accordingly, a fuel oil film present in an engaged part between an annular projection of a fixed core and the taper face is sectioned at a plurality of locations, thereby suppressing a sticking phenomenon of the engaged part caused by the fuel oil film. Therefore, when energization of a coil is cut off, a delay in detachment of the movable core from the fixed core is eliminated, thus contributing to improvement of valve-closing responsiveness.

An electromagnetically-activated actuator includes an electrical coil, an armature moveable between rest and actuated positions, and a bi-directional driver. A method for controlling an actuator event includes applying a supply voltage at a first polarity across the coil for a first duration to drive a forward current through the coil effective to move the armature away from the rest position. The forward current has a forward current peak at the end of the first duration. After the first duration, the supply voltage is applied at a second polarity across the coil for a second duration to drive a reverse current through the coil. The second duration terminates when the reverse current attains a predetermined reverse current peak, wherein the predetermined reverse current peak is coincident with the armature returning to the rest position.

A needle for a jet device includes a needle body and a tapered part arranged at the end of the needle body, in which the needle body is circumferentially provided with supporting bodies, so that when the needle is assembled in a nozzle of the jet device, the outer surfaces of the supporting bodies are coordinated with an inner chamber of the nozzle to limit the position of the needle body and form fluid channels among the supporting bodies, thereby to effectively prevent the needle from deviating from the spout of the nozzle or from radially swinging.

A port injection system for gaseous fuels may include an injector body defining a hydraulic fluid inlet chamber, a hydraulic fluid exit passageway, a hydraulic fluid actuation passageway, a check valve inlet passageway fluidly connected with the hydraulic fluid actuation passageway, a valve chamber, and a gaseous fuel inlet chamber. An electrical solenoid actuator may be mounted to the injector body, with the electrical solenoid actuator including a movable armature, and a poppet valve connected to the movable armature and disposed within the valve chamber. The poppet valve may be movable between a pressurized hydraulic fluid flow blocking position and a pressurized hydraulic fluid flow passing position. A check valve may be disposed within the check valve inlet passageway. A gas admission valve may be disposed at least partially within the gaseous fuel inlet chamber and in contact with the check valve such that movement of the check valve by hydraulic fluid entering the check valve inlet passageway results in actuation of the gas admission valve away from a normally closed position closing off the gaseous fuel inlet chamber to a fuel injection position wherein gaseous fuel is allowed to flow from the gaseous fuel inlet chamber into an intake manifold or intake port of an engine on which the injector body is mounted.

A control device for an engine includes an ECU. The ECU is configured to: control an actual fuel pressure supplied to a fuel injector to a target fuel pressure; calculate a required energization time required for fuel injection equivalent in amount to a required injection quantity; set a energization time for each injection based on the required energization time; execute a switching processing for switching a manner in which the energization time is set when the required energization time is shorter than a predetermined time; set the required energization time as a set value of the energization time through the switching processing when a deviation between the actual fuel pressure and the target fuel pressure is equal to or larger than a predetermined value; and set the predetermined time as the set value of the energization time when the deviation is less than the predetermined value.

The invention relates to an injection device for an internal combustion engine, comprising a needle and an armature, which is operatively connected to the needle in such a way that a movement of the needle can be produced by movement of the armature, the armature having at least one passage bore, through which fuel can be conducted to a needle tip, characterized in that a longitudinal axis of the needle and a longitudinal axis of the passage bore are oriented askew in relation to each other.
