Abstract
Abstract A magnetic injection valve for injecting fuel into the intake tract of internal combustion machines, which is distinguished by particularly good internal cooling. A magnetic coil wound onto a coil carrier is located in the valve, being introduced into a valve housing and surrounds a ferromagnetic core. The core acts upon an armature which is connected to a movable valve needle. A bushing in the core and a sleeve located outside the core are arranged such that the fuel, emerging from an inflow tract of a supply device flows via the sleeve serving as a fuel line and reaches the interior of the valve housing that receives the magnetic coil; after flowing virtually completely around the magnetic coil, the fuel leaves this interior via a bore and flows back between the bushing and the core as far as the end of the bushing, and then flows on through the bushing to reach the armature to flow on to the valve seat. For better cooling of the magnetic coil, flow conduits are machined into the coil holder such that the fuel flow virtually surrounds the coil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
272 words
A magnetic injection valve for injection of fuel into the intake tract of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine, comprising a valve housing, a hollow fuel-carrying core made of ferromagnetic material and secured at one end in a coil holder (2) thereby cooperating with an armature in axial alignment with said core, a magnetic coil (2) secured on said coil holder and axially penetrated by at least part of said core and located in an interior of said valve housing through which fuel flows, a bushing secured inside said core forming an annular gap between said bushing and said core, said bushing being sealingly mounted in said core on an end of the bushing oriented toward said armature, and at least one opening in said core connecting said annular gap with said interior of said valve housing, said opening located on an end of said core nearer said armature, a fuel inlet, a fuel passage that extends from said fuel inlet to said interior of said valve housing with said passage communicating with said opening in said bushing, said annular gap permits fuel flow from said opening in said core to an upper end of said bushing through an interior of said bushing along its length to said valve needle, and said annular gap (62) and said interior of said bushing (60) discharge at an end of said bushing remote from said armature (27), into a fuel return (92) leading away from the magnetic injection valve, whereby the interior of the bushing (60) serves as a means of fuel flow to the armature (27) and to discharge excess fuel into said fuel return.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
272 words
A magnetic injection valve for injection of fuel into the intake tract of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine, comprising a valve housing, a hollow fuel-carrying core made of ferromagnetic material and secured at one end in a coil holder (2) thereby cooperating with an armature in axial alignment with said core, a magnetic coil (2) secured on said coil holder and axially penetrated by at least part of said core and located in an interior of said valve housing through which fuel flows, a bushing secured inside said core forming an annular gap between said bushing and said core, said bushing being sealingly mounted in said core on an end of the bushing oriented toward said armature, and at least one opening in said core connecting said annular gap with said interior of said valve housing, said opening located on an end of said core nearer said armature, a fuel inlet, a fuel passage that extends from said fuel inlet to said interior of said valve housing with said passage communicating with said opening in said bushing, said annular gap permits fuel flow from said opening in said core to an upper end of said bushing through an interior of said bushing along its length to said valve needle, and said annular gap (62) and said interior of said bushing (60) discharge at an end of said bushing remote from said armature (27), into a fuel return (92) leading away from the magnetic injection valve, whereby the interior of the bushing (60) serves as a means of fuel flow to the armature (27) and to discharge excess fuel into said fuel return.
