An electronically controlled fuel injection device that achieves reduced component count, simplified construction, and cost reduction while promoting discharge of vapor that is generated in a pressurizing chamber. With a fuel passage from a fuel intake pipe into a pressurizing chamber and a return passage that is a discharge passage for vapor generated in the pressurizing chamber, and a plunger with a prescribed reciprocating operation having a standby position set as a position enabling fuel supply and vapor discharge, the electronically controlled fuel injection device eliminates the need for an inlet check valve and promotes the discharge of vapor that is generated when fuel is supplied from the fuel intake pipe to the pressurizing chamber.

An electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes a coupling between an armature and the valve member that allows limited relative movement of the valve member and armature in both the opening and closing directions of the valve member. An injector body includes a non-magnetic section to focus magnetic flux and attractive force through the armature and pole. A modular power group reduces the cost of assembly and includes a plastic encapsulated coil that is protected from environmental moisture and corrosion. A valve seat incorporates a valve seal which improves fuel flow past the valve member when the fuel injection valve is in the open position.

For a fuel injection device, a configuration to improve fuel sealability when a valve is closed is provided. Therefore, the fuel injection device includes: a valve body that opens and closes a fuel flow path; a movable iron core in which a fuel passage hole communicating an upstream side and a downstream side is formed, and that operates the valve body toward the upstream side; a biasing spring whose one end contacts the movable iron core, and that biases the movable iron core in a valve opening direction; and a regulating unit that regulates movement of the one end of the biasing spring, in which the shortest distance between the one end of the biasing spring and the fuel passage hole is larger than a radial travel distance of the one end until radial movement of the one end is regulated by the regulating unit.

A fuel injector has means to directly inject one type of fuel or two types of fuels collectively with fuel ratios on demand. Once being used as a single fuel injector, the injector can enable injection rate shaping. Once being used as a dual fuel injector, the injector can tailor fuel properties on demand. The fuel injector has the capability to enable tailored chemical and thermal-physical fuel properties to enable high efficiency clean combustion for different engine loads and speeds.

Provided is a fuel injection valve capable of stroking a valve body in two stages of large and small strokes and improving responsiveness of a valve opening operation. Therefore, a first mover 201 is attracted to a magnetic core 107. A second mover 202 is formed separately from the first mover 201, and is attracted to the magnetic core 107 on an inner diameter side of the first mover 201. A valve body 101 has a flange portion 101a on an upstream side of the second mover 202. A spacer 213 forms a gap (void g1) in an axial direction between the flange portion 101a and the second mover 202 in a valve closed state.

An electromagnetic fuel injection valve includes a coupling between an armature and the valve member that allows limited relative movement of the valve member and armature in both the opening and closing directions of the valve member. An injector body includes a non-magnetic section to focus magnetic flux and attractive force through the armature and pole. A modular power group reduces the cost of assembly and includes a plastic encapsulated coil that is protected from environmental moisture and corrosion. A valve seat incorporates a valve seal which improves fuel flow past the valve member when the fuel injection valve is in the open position.

A valve assembly for an injection valve is disclosed, including a valve body with a cavity, a valve needle axially moveable in the cavity, the valve needle being fixedly connected to a retaining element which extends in radial direction and is arranged in an axial region of the valve needle facing away from the fluid outlet portion, and an armature being able to slide on the valve needle and acting on the needle by way of the retaining element. A conical spring is arranged between the retaining element and a top side of the armature facing the retaining element, biasing the armature away from the retaining element.

A high-pressure fuel pump includes an outlet valve, a valve ball, a valve spring that acts on the valve ball in a closing direction, and a stop body for the valve ball. The stop body has a stop section that limits the opening stroke of the valve ball, and the valve spring is supported by the stop body. The stop body has a cut-out section that at least partially accommodates the valve spring and that has a radial inner periphery which forms a guide for the valve spring.

An electrical module for use within a fuel injector for delivering fuel to an internal combustion engine is described. The electrical module has a variable length. The electrical module comprises electrical contacts for operatively connecting the electrical module to a power plug of a fuel injector. The electrical module also comprises an actuator for operatively controlling a control valve disposed within the fuel injector. The electrical module also comprises electrical conductors arranged within a protective housing. These electrical conductors provide an electrical connection between the electrical contacts and the actuator in order to provide electrical power to the actuator when the electrical contacts are operatively connected to the power plug of the fuel injector. The body of the electrical module is comprised of a compressible elastic element, such that the length of the module is variable by compressing the elastic element. Injectors including such electrical modules are also described.

A valve for metering a flowing medium, in particular a fluid, having a metering opening situated in the fluid flow and surrounded by a valve seat, a valve needle that controls the metering opening and that has a closing head that works together with the valve seat to close and release the metering opening, a piezoelectric actuator that acts on the valve needle to release the metering opening, and an elastic resetting element that acts on the valve needle to close the metering opening. To minimize the required stroke of the piezoelectric actuator for a required stroke of the closing head of the valve needle, the point of action of the resetting element on the valve needle is situated on or close to the end of the valve needle that bears the closing head.
