A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes a pressurized fuel supply, and a fuel injector fluidly connected to the pressurized fuel supply. The fuel injector includes a valve seat plate forming a valve seat, an injection control valve, and a nozzle cavity. A filter, which can include a 2-dimensional filter, is positioned partially within the valve seat plate and partially within an injector body to filter an incoming flow of high-pressure fuel. The valve seat plate and filter are integrated in a valve seat plate and filter assembly.

A fuel injector includes a housing extending along an injector axis. A pintle has an axially extending pintle shaft and a radially projecting annular collar with a collar surface, the pintle being axially moveable between an open position and a closed position. An armature is axially guided in the housing between a proximal position and a distal position, the armature having an axial through-hole in which the pintle shaft is guided and an armature surface which engages the collar surface, thereby moving the pintle into the open position when the armature moves to the proximal position. A first resilient member biases the pintle in the distal direction and a second resilient member biases the armature in the distal direction. The armature surface and the collar surface are slanted with respect to the injector axis and one of the armature surface and the collar surface is convex curved.

Provided is a fuel injection valve capable of improving durability as compared with the conventional case and making the amount of fuel injected uniform as compared with the conventional case. Further, the present invention provides a fuel injection valve capable of injecting fuel with a high fuel pressure as compared with the conventional case and improving the reliability of the product as compared with the conventional case. For this reason, the configuration has a shape relationship in which φB>φC>φD>φE>φF is satisfied where φB represents a hole diameter of a valve body insertion hole 31 consisting of the through hole formed in the central axis of a movable core 30, φC represents an outer diameter of an intermediate portion 22, of a valve body 20, that slides on a valve body insertion hole (through hole) 31, φD represents a diameter of an inner peripheral face 121 of a front end member 12 having an injection hole 11 that slides on a front end side (downstream side) spherical portion 230 of the valve body 20, φE represents an outermost diameter (sphere diameter) of a front end side (downstream side) spherical portion 230 of the valve body 20, and φF represents an outer diameter of a neck 223, the smallest diameter portion, which is located toward the rear end (upstream) relative to the front end side (downstream side) spherical portion 230 of the valve body 20 and located at the intermediate portion 22 of the valve body 20, and a side face of the movable core 30 and the inner peripheral face of the nozzle body 10 are not in contact with each other.

The present application concerns a fuel-injection metering device for a motor vehicle. The fuel-injection device include a main body with at least one through-hole, whereby the main body forms a valve seat on its inner face that is provided to interact with a valve body, whereby the inner face of the main body is electrochemically machined. The application also concerns a mould, a production method, and a fuel-injection nozzle.

A vehicle fuel injector is configured to inject a high-pressure vehicle fuel received from a fuel rail into a combustion chamber. The vehicle fuel injector includes a nozzle which includes a plurality of discharge flow paths which are disposed to be spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and pass through the nozzle in a longitudinal direction, and outward flow paths formed on an inner circumferential surface of the nozzle, the nozzle having a hollow shape, and a needle bar which is formed to pass through the inner circumferential surface of the nozzle and vertically reciprocally moves on the inner circumferential surface of the nozzle, where rotation of the needle bar is adjusted in a left or right direction so that the nozzle is opened or closed.

An atomizer of a fuel electro-injector is equipped with a nozzle and a valve needle having a head, which is coupled to a sealing seat of the nozzle, and stem, which engages an inner seat of the nozzle; the stem and the nozzle define an annular passageway with a chamber that axially terminates at the sealing seat; the stem has an intermediate portion coupled in an axially sliding manner in the inner seat and defining a plurality of channels, the outlets of which are arranged on the annular chamber; the sealing seat and the head of the valve needle define a discharge section, which is annular and has a width that increases as the opening stroke of the valve needle proceeds; the ratio between the depth and the outer chord of the minimum cross-section of the channels is greater than or equal to two.

A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The fuel injector is particularly suitable for use as a dual fuel injector, and comprises a generally tubular outer valve needle, an inner valve needle slidably received in the outer valve needle, and a nozzle body assembly comprising a tip part and a needle guide part. The tip part defines a seating region for the outer valve needle, and the needle guide part comprises a guide bore for slidably receiving the outer valve needle. In one embodiment, a lower bore region of the needle guide part defines a cavity around the outer valve needle which houses a biasing spring for the outer valve needle and a fuel. A collar for seating the biasing spring can be dimensioned to allow free flow of the fuel from the cavity into an annular accumulator volume defined between the outer valve needle and the bore of the tip part.
