Abstract
The regulating member according to the present invention is arranged in a pressure line in a fuel injector with a pressure intensifier and has an actuator, a valve chamber and a spring-loaded valve piston arranged moveably in the valve chamber. The valve piston, in its position of rest, makes a flow connection through the valve chamber between a pressure supply and a control space of the pressure intensifier and, in its switching position, the valve piston makes a flow connection through the valve chamber in which the control space in the pressure intensifier is relieved of pressure.
Claims6
A regulating member for controlling the intensification of pressure of fuel for a fuel injector comprising a pressure intensifier having a low-pressure-side control space and a high-pressure-side working space, the control space being connected via a pressure line to a pressure supply which contains a pressurized medium, and the working space being connected to a fuel injection line, wherein the regulating member is arranged in the pressure line between the pressure supply and the control space of the pressure intensifier, and further comprising an actuator, an inflow orifice which is connected to the pressure supply, a first outflow orifice which is connected to the pressure intensifier, a second outflow orifice which is kept pressureless, and a spring-loaded valve piston arranged moveably in a valve chamber, the valve piston is operatively connected to the actuator so as to be switched between a position in which a flow connection is made in the valve chamber between the inflow orifice and the first outflow orifice, and a position in which a flow connection is made in the valve chamber between the first outflow orifice and the second outflow orifice, further wherein the spring-loaded valve piston when in its position of rest in which it is not actuated by the actuator is in the position in which a flow connection is made in the valve chamber between the inflow orifice and the first outflow orifice, and, when in the switching position triggered by the actuator is in the position in which a flow connection is made in the valve chamber between the first outflow orifice and the second outflow orifice.
