Abstract A fuel injection valve and a method for the automatic establishment of the desired armature stroke of the fuel injection valve are proposed which serves the purpose of injection at low fuel pressures into the intake tube of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine with externally-supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a magnetic coil surrounding a core and a flat armature guided by at least one guide diaphragm held on its outer circumference, which is firmly connected with a movable valve element cooperating with a fixed valve seat. The fuel delivered via a fuel inlet nozzle can proceed through apertures and recesses in the guide diaphragms past the valve seat to a fuel discharge nozzle by way of which a portion of the delivered fuel can flow back again into a fuel return line. Via an annular channel the fuel stream exiting from the nozzle bore cab be prepared with air which surrounds the fuel stream.
A method for producing a fuel injection valve having an axially bored nozzle carrier, a nozzle positioned therein, a flat armature, a valve element positioned between said armature and said nozzle, and further provided with an annular inwardly extending shelf area comprising the steps of assembling said flat armature provided with at least one diaphragm means and a stroke limiting ring into said nozzle carrier, said stroke limiting ring arranged to rest on said annular shelf area; introducing a pressing tool into said nozzle carrier, said pressing tool including an armature engaging area and a stroke limiting ring engagement area; forcing said pressing tool into contact with said armature and said stroke limiting ring to force said stroke limiting ring into seated engagement with said shelf area; and inserting a nozzle body into said axial bore and thereafter applying pressure toward said valve element to seat said nozzle body at a desired location in said bore.
