Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection valve and a method for adjusting its fuel quantity are proposed. The fuel injection valve is used to inject fuel into the intake system of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition. It has a valve needle, which when a magnet coil is excited is attracted toward a core by an armature connected to the valve needle, whereupon the valve needle with a sealing seat formed on it, lifts away from a valve seat face embodied on a nozzle body. According to the invention, the nozzle body is closed off by a bottom embodied in the form of a small plate, which is part of the nozzle body and in which a plurality of calibrated injection ports are located. The closure of the valve needle is embodied by a tang, which extends as far as the immediate vicinity of the bottom. The injection ports are produced by erosion thereof, while their calibration for the sake of static fuel quantity adaptation is performed by hydraulic grinding with a flowable grinding medium.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A fuel injection valve comprising a housing, a magnet coil disposed in said housing, an armature that can be acted upon by the force of the magnet coil, a nozzle body secured to said housing, said nozzle body including a valve seat having a valve seat face, a valve closing element (27) connected to said armature which in combination with said valve seat face controls an opening or closing of said fuel injection valve, said valve closing element being guided by interior walls of said nozzle body, a plate located downstream of said valve seat, a plurality of injection ports (55) in said plate, said plate and said nozzle body (9) being formed as a single component and said plate being embodied as a thin-walled bottom (50) of said single component and having inner and outer walls 51 and 52, respectively, said valve closing element terminating upstream of said inner wall of said plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A fuel injection valve comprising a housing, a magnet coil disposed in said housing, an armature that can be acted upon by the force of the magnet coil, a nozzle body secured to said housing, said nozzle body including a valve seat having a valve seat face, a valve closing element (27) connected to said armature which in combination with said valve seat face controls an opening or closing of said fuel injection valve, said valve closing element being guided by interior walls of said nozzle body, a plate located downstream of said valve seat, a plurality of injection ports (55) in said plate, said plate and said nozzle body (9) being formed as a single component and said plate being embodied as a thin-walled bottom (50) of said single component and having inner and outer walls 51 and 52, respectively, said valve closing element terminating upstream of said inner wall of said plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 1, in which said outer wall (52) of said thin-walled bottom (50) remote from the valve closing element (27) simultaneously embodies part of an end face (54) of said nozzle body (9) and forms a plane surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 2, which includes a sleeve (58) that can be fastened to the nozzle body (9) and which is provided with a preparation bore (62) extending axially downstream of the bottom (50).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 3, in which said sleeve (58) is fastened to said nozzle body (9) by crimping a portion of said sleeve bracing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
53 words
A fuel injection valve as set forth in claim 1, which includes a stop plate (12) between an end face of said nozzle body and an inner shoulder (13) of said housing, said stop plate having a specific thickness for accurate adjustment of the nozzle body valve seat relative to said valve needle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
28 words
A fuel injection valve as defined by claim 1, in which said valve closing element (27) includes a tang (46) which terminates just upstream of the bottom (50).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
53 words
A fuel injection valve as set forth in claim 6, which includes a stop plate (12) between and end face of said nozzle body and an inner shoulder (13) of said housing, said stop plate having a specific thickness for accurate adjustment of the nozzle body valve seat relative to said valve needle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
68 words
A fuel injection valve as set forth in claim 7, wherein said plate includes at least two injection ports extending from upstream to downstream with the upstream end beginning in an annular space between said tang and said plate, the axes of said ports extending at an incline away from the longitudinal axis of the fuel injection valve both radially and tangentially with respect to the longitudinal axis.
