Abstract
A fuel injector for a combustion engine. The fuel injector includes a check valve with a return element that is a magnet, by means of which a magnetic field can be provided or is provided, such that, as a result of the decrease in pressure, a second valve element of the check valve can be moved from an open position back into a closed position and held in the closed position.
Claims10
An injector for introducing fuel into at least one combustion chamber of a combustion engine, the injector comprising:
- an injector housing through which the fuel flows, wherein the injector housing includes:
- at least one inlet opening via which the fuel is introduced into the injector housing, and at least one outlet opening, via which the fuel is discharged from the injector housing in order to introduce the fuel into the combustion chamber;
- at least one flow opening arranged inside the injector housing downstream of the inlet opening and upstream of the outlet opening, via which the outlet opening is supplied with the fuel flowing through the inlet opening;
- an electrically actuatable first valve, which has a first valve element arranged in the injector housing and which is movable relative to the injector housing by electrically actuating the first valve between a first closed position fluidically blocking the flow opening and at least one first open position releasing the flow opening;
- and
- a check valve as a second valve, which has a return element and a second valve element which is arranged in the injector housing and is movable relative to the injector housing between a second closed position fluidically blocking the outlet opening and at least one second open position releasing the outlet opening, and which is movable from the second closed position to the second open position by means of a pressure caused by the fuel flowing from the flow opening to the second valve element and acting on the second valve element and is moveable from the second open position back into the second closed position as a result of a decrease of the pressure by means of the return element and is maintainable in the second closed position by means of the return element,
- wherein the return element is a magnet, by means of which a magnetic field is provided, by means of which, as a result of the decrease in pressure, the second valve element is moveable from the second open position back into the second closed position and then held in the second closed position.
