A diesel fuel injector based on a hollow spray structure induced by vortex cavitation in a nozzle, including a needle valve, a nozzle body, a plurality of spray holes, and a sac chamber. An axis of the needle valve coincides with an axis of the nozzle body. The spray holes are evenly distributed on a head of the nozzle body, and each have a converging conical structure. An inlet end of the spray hole is communicated with the sac chamber. The sac chamber consists of a hemispherical cavity and a cylindrical cavity.

An injector for injecting a fluid includes a base body having an opening and a sealing seat, a spray-orifice disk having at least one spray orifice, and a clamping ring, the spray-orifice disk being disposed in the opening of the base body, and a first nonpositive connection is provided between the spray-orifice disk and the base body, and a second nonpositive connection is provided between the base body and the clamping ring.

A fuel injector includes an injector housing having a nozzle assembly with a nozzle piece, and a nested check assembly of an outer check and an inner check. Spray orifices are formed in the nozzle piece in a first orifice set equipped with a first spray duct set and a second orifice set equipped with a second spray duct set. The inner check can be opened to spray fuel from the first orifice set and the outer check can be opened to spray fuel from both the first orifice set and the second orifice set. The outer check is non-rotating while the inner check can be permitted to rotate during service. Spray ducts associated with the first orifice set may have a different duct length and duct inside diameter than spray ducts associated with the second orifice set. The first orifice set may include lower-flow spray orifices and the second orifice set may include higher-flow spray orifices. Related methodology is also disclosed.

A fuel injector includes an injector housing, an outlet check, an injection control valve assembly, and a valve seat orifice plate integrating a valve seat and various orifices for outlet check control. In the valve seat orifice plate a drain orifice extends between a valve seat surface and a check control chamber formed between a closing hydraulic surface of the outlet check and the valve seat orifice plate. First and second re-pressurization orifices extend between an outer surface of the valve seat orifice plate and the check control chamber.

A director plate retainer of a fluid injector includes an outer wall which is annular in shape and which extends from an outer wall first end to an outer wall second end and which is centered about an axis. The director plate retainer also includes a lateral wall which is annular in shape and which extends toward the axis from a radially outer extent, which is proximal to the outer wall, to a radially inner extent, which is distal from the outer wall. The director plate retainer also includes an inner wall which is annular in shape and which extends from an inner wall first end, which is proximal to the lateral wall, to an inner wall second end, which is distal from the lateral wall, the inner wall extending along the axis in a direction that is opposite from the outer wall.

An injection hole body has injection holes to inject fuel. A valve body forms a fuel passage with an inner surface of the injection hole body to communicate with inflow ports of the injection holes. The valve body opens and closes the fuel passage by being seated on and unseated from a seating surface of the injection hole body. An inflow port gap distance is a gap between the valve body and the inflow ports along a center axis of the valve body. An inter-injection hole distance is a distance between inflow ports, which are adjacent to each other, among the inflow ports placed around the center axis. The inter-injection hole distance is smaller than the inflow port gap distance in a state where the valve body is unseated from the seating surface and is at a farthest position in its movable range.

A nozzle body of a fuel injector includes a proximal end, a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end, and at least one spray hole positioned at the distal end. The at least one spray hole includes an inlet having a first cross-sectional shape and an outlet having a second cross-sectional shape different from the first cross-sectional shape. In other embodiments, the nozzle body has a first row of spray holes and a second row of spray holes, and a cross-sectional shape of spray holes in the first row is different from the cross-sectional shape of spray holes in the second row.

A fuel injector includes an injector body with a fuel chamber configured to receive fuel from a fuel line, an injector tip provided at an end of the injector body, and one or more nozzle assemblies provided in the injector tip. The one or more nozzle assemblies have a fuel channel in fluid communication with the fuel chamber, a premixing tube fluidly connected to the fuel channel, and a port fluidly connected to the premixing tube. The premixing tube has an orifice providing an outlet for the injector tip.
