The invention is an electromagnetic valve, comprising at least one valve seat arranged between at least one inlet channel and at least one outlet channel, a sealing element by which the valve seat can be closed, and an actuating element by which the sealing element can be moved in order to close the valve seat, with the actuating element comprising at its end pointing to the sealing element a cup-shaped seat, with a support element being arranged in said cup-shaped seat, and a sealing element that is connected fixed to the support element.

Provided is a high-pressure fuel supply device for an internal combustion engine, said device being capable of suppressing noise from collisions of a plunger rod and an air intake valve. A high-pressure fuel pump 108 comprises an intake valve, a plunger rod that is formed as a separate element from the intake valve, an elastic member that biases the plunger rod in the valve-opening direction of the intake valve, and a solenoid that draws the plunger rod in the valve-closing direction of the intake valve when supplied with electricity. A control device 101 has a first control unit that applies a first current to the solenoid in order to close the intake valve, and a second control unit that applies a second current to the solenoid before the plunger rod collides with the intake valve due to the biasing force of the elastic member.

A fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine includes: an injector having a hydraulic control chamber controlling the delivery of fuel through the injector, an actively controlled first valve system controlling the pressure relief from the control chamber, movable between: a first position in which the first valve system closes the injector by deterring the pressure from being relieved from the control chamber through the first relief circuit, and a second position in which the first valve system opens the injector by allowing the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the first relief circuit. A second relief circuit allows the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the second relief circuit. The second relief circuit includes a second valve system passively controlled by the fuel pressure and movable between two positions deterring or allowing the pressure to be relieved from the control chamber through the second relief circuit.

The fuel injector assembly may include one or more inlet passages, positioned on the case, to permit fluid to enter the case to cool the solenoid assembly. The fuel injector assembly may include one or more outlet passages, positioned on the case, to permit fluid to exit the case. The fuel injector assembly may include an annular protrusion positioned around a circumference of the case between the one or more inlet passages and the one or more outlet passages.

Relative to the inside diameter of a gas discharge channel provided to an inner-side area of the valve seat, the distance by which a movable core is moved by an electromagnetic coil is within a range of 0.1 times to 0.3 times, the diameter of the valve body is within a range of 1.5 times to 3.0 times, the thickness of the valve body is 0.3 times or greater, the protruding height of the valve seat is 0.3 times or greater, and the inside diameter of an annular gas accumulating space is 2.0 times to 5.0 times.

A fuel injector assembly is disclosed. The fuel injector assembly may include a case that encloses a solenoid assembly. The fuel injector assembly may include one or more inlet passages, positioned on the case, to permit fluid to enter the case to cool the solenoid assembly. The fuel injector assembly may include one or more outlet passages, positioned on the case, to permit fluid to exit the case. The fuel injector assembly may include an annular protrusion positioned around a circumference of the case between the one or more inlet passages and the one or more outlet passages.

An ECU calculates peak-current arrival time (time elapsed before a detected current arrives at a target peak current), and calculates predetermined-current arrival difference time (time elapsed before the detected current becomes lower than a predetermined current after exceeding the predetermined current). The ECU uses a beforehand stored relationship between the predetermined-current arrival difference time and defined peak-current arrival time to calculate the defined peak-current arrival time corresponding to the latest predetermined-current arrival difference time. The ECU uses such defined peak-current arrival time to compare the latest peak-current arrival time with the defined peak-current arrival time (for example, calculates a difference between the peak-current arrival time and the defined peak-current arrival time), and thus determines a shift in detected current of a current detection circuit.

Fuel injection valve having a magnet armature (18) which interacts with a valve seat (19), which is formed on a valve piece (15), in order to open and close an outflow opening (20), wherein the magnet armature (18) can be moved away from the valve seat (19) by an electromagnet (24). A valve piece (15) delimits a control chamber (12), wherein the outflow opening (20) opens into the control chamber (12), and the control chamber (12) can be charged with fuel at high pressure that exerts a hydraulic force on the valve piece (15). Between the magnet armature (18) and the valve piece (15), there is arranged a bracing element (30) which is preloaded against the valve piece (15) and which exerts a force on the valve piece (15) in the region of the outflow opening (20) in the direction of the control chamber (12).

A fuel injector includes control valve for controlling fuel pressure in a control chamber. The control valve includes a valve seat; and a valve member having a valve face for cooperating with the valve seat to control fuel pressure in the control chamber. A return line is provided for returning fuel from the control chamber. An armature connected to the valve member and an actuator is provided for actuating the armature. The armature is disposed in an armature chamber. A deflector is provided in the armature chamber to form a first sub-chamber and a second sub-chamber. The first and second sub-chambers are in fluid communication with each other via a first aperture. A pressure differential is established between the first and second sub-chambers when the valve face lifts from the valve seat promoting the flow of fuel from the second sub-chamber into the first sub-chamber through the first aperture.
