Abstract
Abstract An injection valve for fuel injection devices for internal combustion engines which serves to inject fuel into the intake pipe. The injection valve consists of a valve body with a valve seat cooperating with the sealing part of a valve needle. The valve needle is guided by guide sections in a guide bore of the valve body. The guide section immediately adjoining the sealing part simultaneously serves as a metering section for metering the fuel. For this purpose axially extending surfaces are disposed on the metering section, which form throttling metering openings together with the guide bore. By metering the fuel upstream from the valve seat, impairment of the fuel metering because of deposits formed by reaction of harmful materials from the intake pipe is avoided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
An injection valve for fuel injection devices for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition comprising a valve body, a valve needle guide bore in said valve body, a valve seat in said valve body, an electromagnetically actuated valve needle, said valve needle including a sealing part cooperating with said valve seat and first and second guide sections on said valve needle upstream of said valve seat for guiding the valve needle in said guide bore, characterized in that said first guide section of the valve needle is disposed immediately upstream of and adjacent the sealing part, a metering section formed on said first guide section which serves to meter the quantity of fuel delivered by said injection valve, and an axially aligned injection port surrounding an end portion of said valve needle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
An injection valve for fuel injection devices for mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition comprising a valve body, a valve needle guide bore in said valve body, a valve seat in said valve body, an electromagnetically actuated valve needle, said valve needle including a sealing part cooperating with said valve seat and first and second guide sections on said valve needle upstream of said valve seat for guiding the valve needle in said guide bore, characterized in that said first guide section of the valve needle is disposed immediately upstream of and adjacent the sealing part, a metering section formed on said first guide section which serves to meter the quantity of fuel delivered by said injection valve, and an axially aligned injection port surrounding an end portion of said valve needle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the metering section extends to the sealing part.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 2, characterized in that the metering section is provided with axially extending flat surfaces on the circumference of said first guide section.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
54 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 3, characterized in that said flat surfaces are inclined with respect to the axis of the valve needle in such a way that the distance between the axis of the valve needle and each flat surface is smaller at its end facing away from said sealing part.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
61 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 3, characterized in that said first guide section has a supply section facing away from said sealing part and a metering section facing said sealing part and further includes supply grooves in the surfaces which open towards the flat surfaces and extend over the supply section and the metering section of said guide section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
An injection valve as set forth in claim 3, characterized in that there are four flat surfaces on the said guide section and the metering section.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 2, characterized in that said metering section has axially extending metering grooves which open towards said guide bore.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
39 words
An injection valve in accordance with claim 7, characterized in that an adjustment section is provided at the metering section, said adjustment section having a smaller diameter, proportional to the metered amount of fuel, than said first guide section.
