The invention relates to a fuel injection nozzle for use in an internal combustion engine, having a nozzle body (1), in which is formed a pressure chamber (2) fillable with fuel under high pressure and in which a longitudinally displaceable nozzle needle (4) is arranged, wherein the nozzle needle (4) has a sealing face (5) with which it interacts with a conical body seat (7) formed in the nozzle body (1) and thereby opens and closes the connection from the pressure chamber (2) to a blind hole (10). The blind hole (10) forms a cylindrical section (12) directly adjoining the body seat (7) so that an inlet edge (11) is formed at the transition between the body seat (7) and the blind hole (10). In the nozzle body (1) is formed at least one injection opening (14) which opens into the blind hole (10). The cylindrical section of the blind hole (10) has a reduced diameter so that a shoulder (16) is formed in the blind hole (10), wherein the at least one injection opening (14) opens into the blind hole (10) between the shoulder (16) and the inlet edge (11).

This fuel injection valve is provided with: a valve seat (15b) and a valve body (27c), which cooperate to open and close a fuel passage; a valve seat member (15) having formed thereon the valve seat (15b) and a guide surface (15c) which guides the valve body (27c); and a cylindrical body (5) having the valve seat member (15) press-fitted in the front end-side end thereof. The valve seat member (15) is configured so that the press-fit section (15f) thereof which is press-fitted in the cylindrical body (5) is provided at a position offset toward the base end of the cylindrical body (5) relative to both the valve seat (15b) and the guide surface (15c) in the direction of the center axis (1x) of the fuel injection valve.

The invention relates to a nozzle head and to a fluid injection valve, in particular to a motor vehicle injection valve. A nozzle head for atomizing a fluid for a fluid injection valve with a valve body, through which flow can pass, may include a longitudinal axis and a nozzle perforated disk having a front surface and an opposite inner surface. The nozzle perforated disk may comprise at least one nozzle hole channel completely penetrating the nozzle perforated disk in the direction of the longitudinal axis and including includes an entry surface at a first channel end and an outlet surface at a second channel end wherein the entry surface is formed on the inner surface of the nozzle perforated disk. A nozzle hole projection of the nozzle hole channel has a channel wall with a wall height (h) extending away from the inner surface and is configured over a circumference of the nozzle hole projection so that the second channel end corresponds to a channel wall end of the channel wall configured so as to face away from the front surface.

A fuel injector including a fuel injector housing, a valve seat formed at one end of the fuel injector housing, and a valve body disposed in the fuel injector housing and operable to open and close a spray hole in the valve seat. The valve seat includes a base portion and insert portion having spray holes that is secured to the base portion.

A fuel injector (1) including a fuel injector housing (2), a valve seat (4) formed at one end of the fuel injector housing, and a valve body (10) disposed in the fuel injector housing and operable to open and close a spray hole (20) in the valve seat. The valve seat includes a base portion (16) and insert portion (26) having spray holes (8) that is secured to the base portion (16).

A fuel and gas mixing structure for an engine is provided. This mixing structure includes a body configured to be positioned between a fuel injector and a cylinder of an engine. The body defines an interior volume that is configured to receive gas from outside the body and to receive one or more streams of fuel from the fuel injector in the interior volume. The body also defines one or more mixture conduits configured to conduct plumes of the fuel and gas, while mixing, from the interior volume to one or more exit ports and therethrough to the cylinder.

The present disclosure relates to a method of modifying a conventional injector (e.g., a high pressure direct fuel injector) and to the modified injector resulting therefrom. The modified injector provides a fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) which is different than the fluid flow rate and/or fluid spray plume (i.e., pattern) of the original conventional injector. In one embodiment, provided is a modified injector used in internal combustion engines for fuel delivery directly into the combustion chamber.

In the present invention, two side-section side surfaces and each horizontal passage run along a fuel flow direction and have a linear section, and an end-section side surface formed between the two side-section side surfaces and forming an upstream-side end portion has a curved section connected to the side-section side surfaces and. When a fuel inlet and the horizontal passages are projected onto a plane perpendicular to a valve axial center, a projected line of the linear section of each of the horizontal passages extends to a place intersecting a projected line of the opening edge of the fuel inlet, and the upstream-side end portion of each of the horizontal passages extends toward the inside of the opening edge.

A fuel injection valve includes a valve seat, a valve element, and a plurality of swirl fuel injection passages. The plurality of swirl fuel injection passages are divided into a first swirl fuel injection passage group that forms a first spray and a second swirl fuel injection passage group that forms a second spray that is oriented in a direction different from a first direction.

A fuel delivery system and a direct injector for directly injecting fuel into a cylinder are provided. In one example, a direct fuel injector includes a nozzle in fluidic communication with a fuel source, the nozzle includes at least one fuel flow path that divides into two exit flow paths within the nozzle defining a plurality of exit orifices stemming from a common inlet orifice thereby improving the atomization and mixing of the fuel as it enters the cylinder. A plurality of spaced-apart divided fuel flow paths may be positioned within the nozzle to further optimize mixing and reduce wall and piston wetting.
