The present disclosure relates to a nozzle for a fuel injector that comprises a pivotably symmetrical nozzle member having a hollow space for introducing a nozzle needle, a nozzle tip that is provided at a longitudinal end of the nozzle member, and at least one opening for discharging fuel, and a nozzle needle arranged in the hollow space for a selective blocking of a fuel inflow to the at least one opening, wherein the nozzle needle is designed as tubular in the region of the nozzle tip and is adapted to conduct fuel in the interior of the tubular region to the at least one opening.

A metering valve for a pump unit for feeding fuel from a tank to an internal combustion engine; the metering valve having: a sleeve having an axis A and provided with a first open end for receiving a thruster, a second opposite end provided with an opening for axially discharging the fuel and at least one side opening for feeding fuel; a plug-shaped piston housed slidably along the axis A inside the sleeve, the piston being provided with a closed end having an outer surface in contact with the thruster, an open opposite end and at least one side opening; a plug housed inside the discharge opening of the sleeve and provided with an axial opening; a spring arranged between the plug and the inner surface of the closed end of the sleeve.

A fluid injection device includes a valve body of a cylindrical shape and a valve member, which is movably accommodated in the valve body and which has a valve surface portion to be seated on or separated from a valve seat portion formed in an inside of the valve body. The valve member has an inside passage through which urea aqueous solution flows and a communication port, which is opened at an outer peripheral surface of the valve member and at a position of an upstream side of the valve surface portion in a flow direction of air. An annular fluid passage, through which the air flows, is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the valve body and the outer peripheral surface of the valve member. The communication port is connected to the annular fluid passage at a connecting passage portion. A cross-sectional passage area of the annular fluid passage at the connecting passage portion is smaller than a cross-sectional passage area of the annular fluid passage at an upstream-side passage portion thereof.

A fuel injector for an engine includes: a solenoid unit including a plurality of solenoids that can be separately controlled; a valve body having a control chamber connected with a supply throttle and a return throttle; and a plurality of armatures disposed between the solenoid unit and the valve body to be able to adjust the amount of fuel that is discharged through the return throttle by being driven by the solenoids of the solenoid unit.

An injector, including: a moveable armature having a bore and upper and lower control surfaces; a lower housing including a bore and upper and lower stationary control surfaces; and a flow geometry defined along an exterior of the armature. The armature includes a transverse flow path fluidly coupled with the armature bore and the flow geometry. The lower housing includes a transverse flow path fluidly coupled with the lower housing bore. Upon moving the armature from a first position to a second position, a first flow path is formed between the flow geometry and the lower housing transverse flow geometry through a space between the lower stationary control surface and the lower armature control surface, and a second flow path is formed between the armature bore and the lower housing transverse flow geometry through a space between the upper stationary control surface and the armature upper control surface.

In a fuel injection valve having a nozzle hole plate wherein a nozzle hole is formed, the nozzle hole is formed with a flow path cross-section having an oval shape that has long axes and short axes, and the nozzle hole is formed having a tapered shape in which a flow path sectional area becomes larger from an entry-side open end portion toward an exit-side open end portion. The nozzle hole is formed such that a second angle that is an intersecting angle of opposing nozzle hole inner wall surface portions in an oblique section along the short axes of the entry-side open end portion and the exit-side open end portion, is greater than a first angle that is an intersecting angle of opposing nozzle hole inner wall surface portions in a longitudinal section along the long axes of the entry-side open end portion and the exit-side open end portion.
