Throttle Valve Especially for High Pressure Diesel Pumps of Injection Devices of Motor Vehicles

Abstract

A throttle valve for a high-pressure diesel pump of an injection device of a motor vehicle has at least one piston movable by a medium under pressure against a counter force and has at least one throttle location. A prestage valve in the form of a pressure control valve having a valve body is provided. The pressure control valve comprises a piezo drive. The piezo drive has at least one piezo element. A tappet is connected to the at least one piezo element. The tappet secures the valve body in a closing position. A bushing is provided in which the piston is slidably guided. The bushing has at least one annular groove into which at least one control bore opens.
