Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetically actuatable fuel-injection valve for injection systems of internal combustion engines has a valve housing, a soft-iron core which is located within the valve housing and bears a fixed solenoid winding, and a valve closure plate which forms an armature and coaxially faces said core forming an air gap with it. This plate can be urged by a compression spring against an annular seat 10 which surrounds an outlet, and whose radially circumferential edge is guided in axial movement along a guide which correspondingly surrounds said edge. The valve closure plate has a coaxially protruding plug which extends through or into the outlet.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
In an electromagnetically actuatable fuel-injection valve for injection systems of internal combustion engines, the valve having a valve housing, a soft-iron core located within the valve housing and carrying a stationary solenoid winding, an annular seat, a valve closure plate which forms an armature and coaxially faces said core with the formation of an air gap, a compression spring biasing said plate against said annular seat; and wherein said seat surrounds an outlet of said valve, a radially circumferential edge of said plate is guided axially and is movable along a guide of said valve, said valve correspondingly surrounding said edge, the improvement wherein the valve closure plate has a coaxially protruding plug, said plug extending at least partway into said outlet, said plug having a concave-fillet-shaped transition towards an outlet-side surface of said valve closure plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
In an electromagnetically actuatable fuel-injection valve for injection systems of internal combustion engines, the valve having a valve housing, a soft-iron core located within the valve housing and carrying a stationary solenoid winding, an annular seat, a valve closure plate which forms an armature and coaxially faces said core with the formation of an air gap, a compression spring biasing said plate against said annular seat; and wherein said seat surrounds an outlet of said valve, a radially circumferential edge of said plate is guided axially and is movable along a guide of said valve, said valve correspondingly surrounding said edge, the improvement wherein the valve closure plate has a coaxially protruding plug, said plug extending at least partway into said outlet, said plug having a concave-fillet-shaped transition towards an outlet-side surface of said valve closure plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The fuel-injection valve according to claim 1, wherein said valve closure plate has a barrel-shaped cross section at a radially circumferential edge thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
72 words
The fuel-injection valve according to claim 1, further comprising an abutment against which said valve closure plate rests during opening of said valve, and a resting ring which concentrically surrounds the annular seat and is spaced radially from it, said ring and said seat extending approximately the same distance toward said abutment, and wherein said valve closure plate rests, via a radially outer region of its outlet-side surface, against said resting ring.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The fuel-injection valve according to claim 1, wherein the transition is formed in the outlet side surface of said valve closure plate to form a recess.
