Abstract
Abstract An injection valve which serves to inject fuel into the intake manifold of a vehicle engine. The valve has a spin chamber upstream of the injection port which can be connected with a return line to the supply pump providing the pressure, for the purpose of continuous maintenance of a spinning motion of the fuel. The closing body of the valve has a projection extending into the injection port and beyond the valve seat which prevents drip formation when the valve opens.

Claims Analysis

Claim 1
Independent Claim
244 words
An electromagnetic fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines, in particular vehicle engines with intake manifold injection comprising a housing having a valve seat and an injection port downstream of said valve seat, a spin chamber located immediately upstream of said valve seat into which chamber the fuel enters in a swirl path via at least one inflow bore, an annular body defining an annular chamber encompassing said spin chamber, a plurality of bores in said annular body for introducing fuel tangentially and upstream into said spin chamber, each of said plurality of bores having a calibrated diameter to provide a throttle point for metering the introduction of fuel into said spin chamber, said spin chamber having a return flow bore for fuel flow therethrough with the return flow bore connected with a return line to a pressure-generating supply pump, said valve including a closing body having a projection extending into said injection port and extending outwardly beyond the housing, said projection having a diameter of a dimension that the fuel undergoes no further throttling in the injection port and the apportionment function of the calibrated bores is not restricted, said closing body also including an auxiliary valve in said return flow bore which extends from said spin chamber to said pressure-generating supply pump, said auxiliary valve arranged to monitor said injection port and close said return flow bore when the valve needle of said closing body opens said injection port, and vice versa.
