A control device controls a drive current that flows through a drive coil of a fuel injection valve that is electromagnetically driven. A control device includes a determination unit configured to determine whether a supply fuel pressure, which is a pressure of fuel supplied to the fuel injection valve, is higher than a determination pressure at which the fuel pressure is determined abnormally high; a first control unit configured to control the drive current in a first mode when the determination unit determines that the supply fuel pressure is not higher than the determination pressure; and a second control unit configured to control the drive current in a second mode that facilitates maintaining of the fuel injection valve in an open state more than in the first mode when the determination unit determines that the supply fuel pressure is higher than the determination pressure.

The invention relates to a device for metering two different liquid or gaseous fuels, comprising a nozzle element (4) in which a first pressure chamber (6) that can be filled with a first fuel is formed, wherein an outer nozzle needle (10) is received in the pressure chamber in a longitudinally movable manner. The outer nozzle needle (10) is equipped with a second pressure chamber (12) which can be filled with a second fuel and in which an inner nozzle needle (15) is arranged in a longitudinally movable manner, said inner nozzle needle interacting with an inner nozzle seal (16) formed in the outer nozzle needle (10) in older to open and close at least one inner injection opening (17). Furthermore, at least one outer injection opening (13) is provided which can be connected to the first pressure chamber (6), the at least one outer injection opening (13) being formed in the outer nozzle needle (10).

An electromagnetically driven injector may include an electromagnetic coil, a movable core, a doughnut-shaped fixed core, a valve, a coil spring, and at least one plate spring. When the electromagnetic coil is not energized, a valve closed state may be maintained by a valve element of the valve normally biased in a valve closed direction by cooperation of the coil spring and the at least one plate spring. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, the valve may be opened by the movable core being attracted to the doughnut-shaped fixed core, the valve element attached to the movable core disposed so as to be attracted to the fixed core disposed on a center of the electromagnetic coil being disposed along a stroke direction in the coil spring, the at least one plate spring being provided at a right angle to the stroke direction of the valve element, a central portion of the at least one plate spring being fixed at a fixation position while sandwiched between the valve element and the movable core, both of the valve element and the movable core being in contact with the fixation position, a peripheral edge portion of the at least one plate spring being fixed while sandwiched on a nozzle side. The fixation position of the movable core and the valve element that sandwich the central portion of the at least one plate spring may be assembled by laser welding.

A fuel injector for an internal combustion engine. The fuel injector has a needle and a nozzle that inter-relate with each other in assembly. Relative movement between the needle and nozzle bring the fuel injector between a closed state of operation and an open state of operation amid use of the fuel injector. The nozzle has one or more passages therein through which fuel is discharged.

A fluid injector assembly extending along a longitudinal axis comprising a housing, and an injector positioned within the housing, the injector comprising a injector body having an interior cavity, a plunger positioned within the interior cavity and comprising a plunger body, a fluid delivery passage along at least a portion of the plunger body, and a plunger tip positioned at a downstream end of the plunger body, the fluid delivery passage comprising a longitudinal passage and at least one internal swirl passage, and the internal swirl passage being angled relative to the longitudinal axis and extending from the longitudinal passage to an opening upstream of the plunger tip, and a nozzle positioned at a downstream end of the injector body and including at least one nozzle passage, fluid being delivered from an upstream end of the injector to the at least one nozzle passage through the fluid delivery passage.

Provided is a fuel injection valve capable of stroking a valve body in large and small two stages and capable of precisely controlling an injection flow rate at the stroke. Therefore, the fuel injection valve of the present invention is provided with a valve body for opening or closing a flow path, a movable element for driving the valve body in a valve opening direction, and a magnetic core for attracting the movable element, in which the movable element is separately configured from the valve body, and is configured by a first movable element having a first facing surface facing the magnetic core and having the first facing surface attracted by the magnetic core, and a second movable element separately configured from the first movable element, having a second facing surface facing the magnetic core, and having the second facing surface attracted by the magnetic core.

Methods and systems are provided for moving an injector needle of a fuel injector assembly from a first position to a second position to provide a first fuel injection at the first position, and moving the needle from the second position to the third position to provide a second fuel injection at the third position, and moving the needle back to the first position via the second position, and providing a third fuel injection at the second position. In this way, three fuel injections may be performed during a single actuation cycle of the injector during a single combustion cycle.

A fuel injector includes an injection nozzle with a body, in which a needle moves between a closed position, in which a first end of the needle rests on a seat, and an open position, in which the first end of the needle is lifted from the seat. The fuel injector also includes a control chamber, a control valve, and an upper guide guiding the needle axially by the second end thereof. An electric link in contact with the second end of the needle bring the needle to a predetermined electric potential. The needle is mounted in the body so as to be able to move therein while being electrically isolated from the body, except for the region of the seat, so that the needle is in electric contact with the body only in the closed position.
