A fuel delivery system includes a connection assembly that reliably connects a high pressure fuel supply line to an inlet of a fuel rail. The connection assembly includes a fitting that decouples the retention function of the connection from the sealing function of the connection. The fitting is hollow and has a spherical leading end that is compressed against an inner conical surface of the fuel rail inlet to an extent that fuel rail material is displaced by the spherical leading end and a fluid-tight first seal is realized between the fitting and the conical surface of the fuel rail inlet. A weld is provided at a location spaced apart from the seal, the weld joining the fitting to the fuel rail inlet and retaining the fitting within the inlet in a compressed state, whereby the first seal is maintained.

Provided is a fuel rail that can achieve a reliable seal between a rail main unit and a cup, involving a short welding distance or a reduced amount of a brazing filler metal. In the fuel rail, a rail main unit 2 has a central hole and a rail main unit-side communication hole 10 that provides communication between the central hole and an outside of the rail main unit 2. An injector receiving member 5 has an injector insertion hole 7 into which an injector is inserted. The injector receiving member 5 is mounted in the rail main unit 2 such that the rail main unit-side communication hole 10 and the injector insertion hole 7 communicate with each other. The injector receiving member 5 has an injector receiving member-side communication hole 9 that provides communication between the rail main unit-side communication hole 10 and the injector insertion hole 7. A metal fusion zone 12 is formed, by way of an inside of the injector receiving member 5, in a bond between the rail main unit 2 and the injector receiving member 5, to thereby seal the bond.

A fuel distributor rail for a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine in motor vehicles, in particular for gasoline engines. The fuel distributor rail comprises a main tube, wherein the main tube has a fuel channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the main tube. The main tube comprises at least two outlet openings, wherein the outlet openings branch off the fuel channel. A connecting element is arranged on the main tube, wherein the connecting element has an attachment wall that rests against the main tube. The connecting element is connected to the main tube in a material bonded manner and comprises at least two connecting pieces. The connecting pieces have a connecting channel each for the fluidic connection of an outlet opening to each injection nozzle.

A fuel injection valve includes: a holder which accommodates a valve body, has a surface magnetically facing the outer periphery of an armature, and is joined to a core; a housing which is press-fitted onto the outer periphery of the holder and accommodates a coil; and a cap which covers the fuel upstream side of the coil in a lid shape and is press-fitted onto the outer periphery of the core. The lower surface of the cap is brought into contact with the upper end surface of the housing in a radially slidable state and then an outer peripheral portion of a contact surface between the cap and the housing is joined by laser welding.

A fuel injection valve is provided that can reduce variations in stroke length by reducing distortion during welding, and consequently can reduce variations in flow rate of injected fuel. The fuel injection valve has a nozzle; a fixed valve that is press-fit into a tip of the nozzle and has a fuel injection port from which the fuel is injected; and a movable element that forms a fuel seal section by abutting against the fixed valve, and opens and closes the fuel injection port. The fixed valve and the nozzle are fixed in place by welding at a position with no space due to press-fitting. A groove that serves as an empty space is provided in a continuation of a welded section that is formed in the fixed valve and the nozzle by the welding.

A fuel distributor which has a pressure accumulator pipe for receiving pressurized fuel where the pressure accumulator pipe has a forged main body with a longitudinal cavity. At least one connector flange is configured in one piece from the same material on the main body. The connector flange has an injector connector with a connecting duct to the longitudinal cavity. A cup-shaped injector receptacle is joined to the injector connector. The injector receptacle is a single-piece deep-drawn part or a single-piece extruded part or a single-piece turn-milled part, and is connected to the injector connector by way of a fuel-tight join, or by way of brazing technology.

There is provided a damper unit that allows a plurality of damper bodies to be installed by simple work. The damper unit includes at least two damper bodies that are installed in a housing space so as to be stacked and include hermetically sealed spaces therein. The damper unit further an elastic member 7 that is disposed between the damper bodies, and a stopper that is installed across outer peripheral edge portions of the damper bodies positioned at both ends.

An injector is described for injecting a fluid, in particular a fuel, comprising a solenoid actuator for operating a closing element, which releases and closes a through opening, the solenoid actuator including an armature which is connected to the closing element, an internal pole and an external magnetic circuit component, and the magnetic circuit component is a rolled magnetic sleeve made from a strip material.

A pre-chamber for a fuel injector is disclosed. The pre-chamber includes a cylindrical body member extending axially from a first end portion to a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. The pre-chamber further includes a bottom plate located proximal to the first end portion of the cylindrical body member. The pre-chamber also includes a sacrificial member extending axially outwards from the second end portion of the cylindrical body member.

There is provided a damper device that can be held in a housing space with simple work. A damper device, which is disposed and used in a housing space formed in a device unit, includes: a damper body that is filled with gas and includes a diaphragm provided with a deformable-action portion formed at a central portion thereof; and an annular clip that holds an outer peripheral edge portion of the damper body and causes a biasing force to act on an inner wall of a cover member, which forms the housing space, in a radial direction.
