Abstract

Abstract In known fuel injection valves, perforated bodies are secured downstream of the valve sealing seat and are provided with injection openings the size of which meters the quantity of fuel injected. The novel perforated body is intended to enable simple adjustment of the size of these injection openings. The perforated body has a plurality of injection openings, which by their geometry meter the quantity of fuel flowing through them and aim the injected fuel stream. The provision of steps in the form of grooves, blind bores or wedge-shaped notches, in flat sides of the perforated body defines the length of individual injection openings. The perforated body is suitable for use in fuel injection valve of fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim 136 words
A perforated body for use downstream of a valve seat of a fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, having a first face (59) located in a first plane, a second face (62) located in a second plane, and at least one step located in a third plane, between which step and one of said first and second faces, at least one injection opening extends penetrating the perforated body, at least one further injection opening (54a) extends between the two faces (59, 62) from said first face (59) to said second face (62), and a length of the at least one further injection opening (54a) differs from a length of the at least one injection opening (54b) extending between the step (80) and one of said first and second faces (59, 62).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 136 words
A perforated body for use downstream of a valve seat of a fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines, having a first face (59) located in a first plane, a second face (62) located in a second plane, and at least one step located in a third plane, between which step and one of said first and second faces, at least one injection opening extends penetrating the perforated body, at least one further injection opening (54a) extends between the two faces (59, 62) from said first face (59) to said second face (62), and a length of the at least one further injection opening (54a) differs from a length of the at least one injection opening (54b) extending between the step (80) and one of said first and second faces (59, 62).
