Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve for fuel injection system in internal combustion engines having a ferromagnetic valve housing, a ferromagnetic core provided in it, on which a magnet coil is located, a plane valve seat embodied on a nozzle body and an armature, which at the same time is embodied as a closing element arranged to cooperate with the valve seat. For lateral guidance of the armature, an outer guide face is provided, which can axially slide on an inner guide face; the guide faces are located inside the armature. One of the guide faces is embodied on a guide device which is secured on the core and protrudes partway into the armature. The inner guide face has the shape of a sphere or a partial sphere; the outer guide face is cylindrical.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines, comprises a valve housing of ferromagnetic material (1), at least one magnet coil (12) on a core (4) of ferromagnetic material and a cylindrical armature (38) on which a first face end (41) is embodied, with which, when the magnet coil (12) is actuated, the armature (38) rests on a stop face (35) firmly attached to the housing, said armature further including a second face end (42), with which, when the magnet coil is not excited, the armature (38) rests sealingly on a valve seat (44), said second face end (42) being substantially planar, in the vicinity of the valve seat (44), and further for radial guidance of the armature (38) a cylindrical outer guide face (66) is provided, and cooperating therewith, an inner guide face (67), each point of which has the same spacing, from a common reference center point M located between said two face ends, (41) and (42) in which the diameter of the guide faces (66, 67) is smaller than the diameter of the armature (38), and one of the guide faces (66, 67) is embodied on a guide device (60) connected to the core (4), which guide device protrudes through the first face end (41).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
214 words
An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems for internal combustion engines, comprises a valve housing of ferromagnetic material (1), at least one magnet coil (12) on a core (4) of ferromagnetic material and a cylindrical armature (38) on which a first face end (41) is embodied, with which, when the magnet coil (12) is actuated, the armature (38) rests on a stop face (35) firmly attached to the housing, said armature further including a second face end (42), with which, when the magnet coil is not excited, the armature (38) rests sealingly on a valve seat (44), said second face end (42) being substantially planar, in the vicinity of the valve seat (44), and further for radial guidance of the armature (38) a cylindrical outer guide face (66) is provided, and cooperating therewith, an inner guide face (67), each point of which has the same spacing, from a common reference center point M located between said two face ends, (41) and (42) in which the diameter of the guide faces (66, 67) is smaller than the diameter of the armature (38), and one of the guide faces (66, 67) is embodied on a guide device (60) connected to the core (4), which guide device protrudes through the first face end (41).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 1, in which the outer guide face (66) is embodied as an inner jacket face (65) of the guide device (60), and the inner guide face (67) is embodied on a guide body (48) joined to the armature (38), (FIGS. 1-3) ,
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 2, in which the guide device (60) is embodied as a cylindrical sheath.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 3, in which the sheath (60) comprises a nonmagnetic material.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 4, in which the sheath (0) is provided with at least one stop (83) which is adapted to extend radially outward, so as to rest on a first pole face (35) and on which, when the magnet coil (12) is actuated, the armature (38) will also rest. (FIG. 2)
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 1, in which the outer guide face (66) is embodied as a guide bore (114) in the armature (38), and the inner guide face (67) is embodied on a jacket face of the guide device (60) (FIGS. 4 and 5).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
49 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 1, in which the armature (38) is surrounded by a second pole face (39) whereby when the magnet coil (12) is actuated, the magnetic flux proceeds between the second pole face (39) and a circumferential face (40) of the armature (38).
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 7, in which flow openings (77) in the armature (38), are located outside the region of the greatest magnetic flux.
