Abstract
Abstract A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines that has a nozzle body with a valve seat disposed on the combustion chamber end and an outwardly-opening valve needle with a closing head, which has a closing cone that works together with the closing valve seat. At least one injection port is disposed in the closing head at an angle with respect to the axis of reciprocation of the valve needle, and is opened by a control edge on the nozzle body depending on the inlet pressure of the fuel. In order to minimize any deflection of the injection stream flowing out of the injection port relative to the alignment of the injection port, the port is divided into at least two parallel conduits, which are separated from each other by a dividing wall and which upon the opening stroke of the valve needle are unblocked one after the other by the control edge.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines of an outwardly-opening construction comprising a nozzle body, a bore in said nozzle body, a valve member which is moved by fuel pressure acting against a tension of a closing spring, said valve member has a closing head which is directed at a set angle relative to an axis of reciprocation of the valve member, at least one injection port is disposed in said closing head whose discharge point cross section, in the closed position of the valve member, is closed by the nozzle body and upon an opening stroke is continuously opened by a control edge on a combustion chamber end of the nozzle body, a first angle is formed between a longitudinal axis of said at least one injection port and said axis of reciprocation of the valve member, the at least one injection port (25) is divided by at least one thin dividing wall (55) into a plurality of parallel flow conduits (52, 53) whose discharge points on the opening stroke of the valve member (16, 20) are unblocked one after the other, wherein the unblocked partial flows (e, f) unite into one injection stream (g) whose axis forms with said axis of reciprocation of the valve member a second angle which is substantially equal to said first angle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines of an outwardly-opening construction comprising a nozzle body, a bore in said nozzle body, a valve member which is moved by fuel pressure acting against a tension of a closing spring, said valve member has a closing head which is directed at a set angle relative to an axis of reciprocation of the valve member, at least one injection port is disposed in said closing head whose discharge point cross section, in the closed position of the valve member, is closed by the nozzle body and upon an opening stroke is continuously opened by a control edge on a combustion chamber end of the nozzle body, a first angle is formed between a longitudinal axis of said at least one injection port and said axis of reciprocation of the valve member, the at least one injection port (25) is divided by at least one thin dividing wall (55) into a plurality of parallel flow conduits (52, 53) whose discharge points on the opening stroke of the valve member (16, 20) are unblocked one after the other, wherein the unblocked partial flows (e, f) unite into one injection stream (g) whose axis forms with said axis of reciprocation of the valve member a second angle which is substantially equal to said first angle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
60 words
The fuel injection nozzle according to claim 1, in which said plurality of parallel flow conduits comprise at least two conduits (52, 53) disposed over one another parallel in the direction the axis of reciprocation of the valve member and in that the thickness of the at least one thin dividing wall (55) is half the width of a conduit.

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fuel injection nozzle according to claim 4, in which the at least two conduits (52, 53) have a circular cross section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fuel injection nozzle according to claim 3, in which the at least two conduits (52, 53) have a circular cross section.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The fuel injection nozzle according to claim 2, in which the at least two conduits (52, 53) have a circular cross section.
