Fuel injection nozzle

Claim 2

A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising a spring-loaded valve needle for regulating the onset of fuel injection, a spring retainer means, a Hall transducer for indicating the onset of the fuel injection and/or the length of the fuel injection, said Hall transducer including a stationary Hall chip secured within and surrounded by said spring retainer means, and a permanent magnet, the magnetic influence on the Hall chip of said permanent magnet changing with the stroke of the valve needle, characterized in that said permanent magnet is disposed in a position not hindering the stroke of the valve needle.

Claim 3

A fuel injection nozzle as defined by claim 1, wherein the nozzle includes at least one compression element and a valve needle stroke limiting stop, wherein said permanent magnet is secured on the compression element and wherein said Hall chip is secured laterally on the end face of said spring retainer means, whereby the injection timing controls said needle valve.

Claim 4

A fuel injection nozzle as defined by claim 1, wherein the nozzle includes at least one compression element and a valve needle stroke limiting stop, wherein said permanent magent of the Hall transducer is stationary and has a magnetic field extending to said chip, said Hall chip is secured on an edge thereof to an end face of said spring retainer means, and wherein a magnetizable field interrupter is disposed so as to extend at least partially into the magnetic field of said permanent magnet, whereby the injection timing controls said needle valve.

Claim 5

A fuel injection nozzle as defined by claim 3, wherein said Hall chip is disposed parallel to the axis of said spring retainer means, and wherein the magnetic field interrupter is disposed in axial alignment with the compression element.

Claim 6

A fuel injection nozzle as defined by claim 3, wherein the permanent magnet is substantially C-shaped and is disposed to surround said Hall chip, wherein said field interrupter is an annular field interrupter secured to said compression element.

Claim 7

A fuel injection nozzle as defined by claim 3, further including a closing spring arranged to act upon said compression element wherein said closing spring serves as the field interrupter.

Claim 8

A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising a spring-loaded valve needle for regulating the onset of fuel injection, a Hall transducer for indicating the onset of the fuel injection and/or the length of the fuel injection, said Hall transducer including a stationary Hall chip and a permanent magnet, the magnetic influence on the Hall chip of said permanent magnet changing with the stroke of the valve needle, characterized in that said permanent magnet is stationarily disposed in a position not hindering the stroke of the valve needle, and a magnetizable magnetic field interrupter made of a magnetizable material coupled with said valve needle, said interrupter covering variable sized areas of said Hall chip in the end positions of said valve needle in relationship with the permanent magnet.

Claim 9

A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising a spring-loaded valve needle for regulating the onset of fuel injection, a Hall transducer for indicating the onset of the fuel injection and/or the length of the fuel injection, said Hall transducer including a stationary Hall chip and a permanent magnet, the magnetic influence on the Hall chip of said permanent magnet changing with the stroke of the valve needle, characterized in that said permanent magnet is stationarily disposed in a position not hindering the stroke of the valve needle, and a magnetizable magnetic field interrupter made of a magnetizable material coupled with said valve needle, said interrupter covering variable sized areas of said Hall chip in the end positions of said valve needle in relationship with the permanent magnet.

Claim 10

A fuel injection nozzle according to claim 7, characterized in that said permanent magnet is in the form of a half ring, disposed with equal radial distance from a closing spring, and that the Hall chip is disposed on the inside of the closing spring.

Claim 11

A fuel injection nozzle according to claim 8, the closing spring of which rests on the valve needle by means of a compression element, characterized in that the interrupter is fastened to the compression element and has an annular shape.

Claim 12

A fuel injection nozzle according to claim 8, characterized in that the permanent magnet (41) is disposed outside of the closing spring (17) and that the closing spring (17) itself acts as said interrupter.

Claim 13

A fuel injection nozzle according to claim 7 which includes a spring retainer means, and said Hall chip is secured on one end of said spring retainer means.
