An insert device includes a first coupling body inserted into an engine cylinder head. The first coupling body extends around a center axis to define a first interior volume of the first coupling body that is shaped to receive a distal tip of a fuel injector. The insert device includes a second mixing body coupled with the first coupling body and extending around the center axis. The second mixing body includes conduits that receive fuel from the fuel injector and air from a combustion chamber, combine the fuel with the air, and direct the fuel-air mixture into the combustion chamber. The first coupling body has a first end surface positioned to face the cylinder head and the first coupling body is tapered such that an outer diameter of the first coupling body is larger toward the first end surface than toward the second mixing body.

A connection assembly is used to connect a first body to a second body. The first body includes a bore that is coaxial with a first axis, and a retainer opening that extends coaxially with a second axis. The second axis is perpendicular to the first axis and offset relative to the first axis. In addition, a portion of the retainer opening intersects the bore. The second body includes an insertion portion that is disposed in the bore, a fluid passage that extends through the insertion portion and communicates with the bore, and an outer surface of the second body has a channel. The connection assembly employs an elastic retaining pin that retains the insertion portion within the bore. The retaining pin is disposed in the retainer opening such that a portion of the retaining pin resides in the channel, and the retaining pin is self-aligning and self-retaining.

A cylinder head assembly includes a cylinder head casting, and an injector sleeve within an injector bore in the cylinder head casting. The injector sleeve includes a first sleeve end, and an injector clamping surface formed by an inner sleeve surface adjacent to a cylindrical second sleeve end. The injector sleeve further includes a sleeve clamping surface in contact with an upward facing middle deck surface of the cylinder head casting, and a reaction wall extending between the injector clamping surface and the sleeve clamping surface to transfer an injector clamping load to the upward facing middle deck surface.

An injector comprises a tubular nozzle body having a nozzle side, receiving a needle valve member, and an actuator side, receiving a tubular magnetic armature and receiving an armature side of a tubular pole piece above the magnetic armature, wherein the nozzle body and the pole piece are welded together through a seam weld line between an inner tubular surface of the actuator side of the tubular nozzle body and an outer tubular surface of the armature side of the pole piece. The actuator side of the tubular nozzle body comprises a constricted area while the outer surface of the armature side of the pole piece comprises a recessed area, the constricted area and the recessed area contacting each other at a level of the seam weld line and providing a friction area transmitting hydraulic load away from the seam weld line.

An improved injector cup may be used in diesel engines that fits more securely into the engine's cylinder heads to better prevent engine coolant from leaking into the fuel and/or fuel leaking into the coolant. An improved injector cup may be designed to accommodate specific engine types and sizes in order to prevent engine coolant from leaking into the fuel and/or fuel leaking into the coolant.

An axisymmetric injector hold-down load ring includes an annular body and an odd numbered plurality of resilient arms integrally extending from the annular body. Each resilient arm has a curvature concentric with the annular body and extends in a first circumferential direction along an outer periphery of the annular body an equal circumferential distance from a connection with the annular body to a free end. The free end of each resilient arm includes a contact surface facing axially opposite a first surface of the annular body, the contact surface of each resilient arm is axially offset from the first surface of the annular body an equal axial distance. This configuration positions the connections and contact surfaces in radial alignment so that force is transmitted along the resilient arms between the circumferentially spaced connections and contact surfaces when the load ring is in use.

A component for an injection system, in particular a fuel injection rail for a fuel injection system. The component includes a main body that is processed by a single-stage or multi-stage forging, at least one fastening element being provided on the main body. The fastening element is formed at least partly by a residual flash. An injection system having such a component, and a method for producing such a component, are also described.

Provided is a fuel injection valve capable of stroking a valve body in two stages of large and small strokes and improving responsiveness of a valve opening operation. Therefore, a first mover 201 is attracted to a magnetic core 107. A second mover 202 is formed separately from the first mover 201, and is attracted to the magnetic core 107 on an inner diameter side of the first mover 201. A valve body 101 has a flange portion 101a on an upstream side of the second mover 202. A spacer 213 forms a gap (void g1) in an axial direction between the flange portion 101a and the second mover 202 in a valve closed state.

Disclosed are a component for a fuel injector and a method for coating the same. The component for the fuel injector may include a base material, a bonding layer laminated on the base material, a support layer laminated on the outer surface of the bonding layer, and an NbSiCN functional layer including an NbCN layer and an SiCN layer and alternately laminated on the outer surface of the support layer, thereby reducing friction, high hardness, shock resistance, heat resistance, and durability of the component for the fuel injector.

Apparatuses for immobilizing fuel injection apparatuses are disclosed. A coupling member couples a fuel injection apparatus with an injector body of an engine. The coupling member includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a side surface, and an opening extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The opening receives the fuel injection apparatus. The coupling member also includes a protruding portion extending from the bottom surface or the side surface which comes into contact with the injector body to prevent rotational movement of the fuel injection apparatus.
