The fuel injector according to the invention is distinguished in that a particularly high structural strength and vibration resistance of the valve seat body (5) is provided. The fuel injector (1) includes an excitable actuator for actuating a valve closing body, which forms a seal seat together with a valve seat surface (6) formed on a valve seat body (5), and injection openings (7), which are formed downstream of the valve seat surface (6), the injection openings (7) being introduced into a middle area (44) of the valve seat body (5) protruding outwardly like a cone in the injection direction. The cone-like axially protruding middle area (44) of the valve seat body (5) ends radially outside the orifice areas of all injection openings (7) in a recessed depression (47), from which, in turn, an axially protruding border area (48) of the valve seat body (5) adjoins radially outwardly, so that an overall wavy cone contour of the valve seat body (5) is formed in cross section. The fuel injector is particularly suitable for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing spark-ignited internal combustion engine.

A fuel injector isolator includes a support member which is rigid and which is annular in shape being centered about an axis such that the support member has a support member inner periphery which circumferentially surrounds the axis and includes a concave region. The fuel injector isolator also includes an isolation member which is resilient and compliant and which is annular in shape being centered about the axis such that the support member has an isolation member outer periphery and an isolation member inner periphery which accommodates the fuel injector therein. The isolation member is located within the support member inner periphery and includes 1) an isolation member outer periphery upper retention surface which engages the support member first end surface and 2) an isolation member outer periphery lower retention surface which extends into the concave region and engages the concave region of the support member.

A camshaft (24), in particular for a pump (10), is proposed. The camshaft (24) has at least two cams (26, 28) which are arranged next to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis (25) of the camshaft (24) and the cam elevations of which are arranged offset with respect to one another around the longitudinal axis (25) of the camshaft (24). An intermediate region (30) is provided between two adjacent cams (26, 28), and at least one bearing region (32) is arranged next to the cams (26, 28) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (25) of the camshaft (24). The intermediate region (30) runs in axial longitudinal sections which contain the longitudinal axis (25) of the camshaft (24), at a radial spacing (r1, r2) from the longitudinal axis (25) of the camshaft (24), which radial spacing (r1, r2), starting from the adjacent cam (26) with the smaller cam elevation (h1) in the respective axial longitudinal section, increases towards the adjacent cam (28) with the greater cam elevation (h2) in the respective axial longitudinal section.

An insulating element for a fuel injection apparatus is notable in particular for the fact that a low-noise design is achieved. The fuel injection apparatus encompasses at least one fuel injection valve and one receiving bore in a cylinder head for the fuel injection valve, and the insulating element between a valve housing of the fuel injection valve and a wall of the receiving bore. The insulating element possesses an inner insulating ring that is present in encapsulated fashion between an outer ring and an inner ring. The outer ring is directed toward the fuel injection valve and the inner ring is directed toward the wall of the receiving bore, so that corresponding abutment of these components occurs with the insulating element in the installed state. The fuel injection apparatus is suitable in particular for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing spark-ignited internal combustion engine.

The invention relates to an electromagnetically actuatable intake valve for a high-pressure pump of a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail injection system, comprising a magnet coil (1) for acting on an armature (2) which is received and guided such that it can be moved with a reciprocating movement in a central recess (3) of a valve body (4), wherein a pole core (6) which is connected via a sleeve (7) to the valve body (4) lies opposite the armature (2) at a working air gap (5). According to the invention, the valve body (4) has a circumferential cut-out (9) within an inner circumferential surface (8) which delimits the recess (3), which cut-out (9) divides the inner circumferential surface (8) into an upper and a lower guide region (10, 11). The invention also relates to a high-pressure pump for a fuel injection system, in particular a common rail injection system, comprising said type of intake valve.

Disclosed herein is a mounting structure of a fuel rail, including a mounting boss part having a through-hole formed in a longitudinal direction and a first mating surface formed at an outer surface, an injector cup part provided separately from the mounting boss part and having a second mating surface formed at an outer surface and a flow path hole formed at one side of the second mating surface to be connected to the main pipe for transferring fuel to an injector, and a bridge part connecting the mounting boss part and the injector cup part and having a third mating surface. The mounting structure of the fuel rail can effectively distribute stress concentration by increasing contact area with the main pipe, thereby improving fatigue strength.

The invention further relates to a high-pressure fuel pump (10) which has such a high-pressure connection device (50) and to a method for producing such a high-pressure connection device (50).

In a fuel injector, the temperature differential between a distributor plate, through which relatively cool fuel passes, and the manifold to which the distributor plate is bonded causes stresses and strains that can reduce the durability and longevity of the fuel injector. In disclosed embodiments, the distributor plate is bonded to an outer arm and inner arm. These arms act as levers to take up the stresses and strains caused by the temperature differential, thereby increasing the durability and longevity of the fuel injector.
