Abstract
A fuel injection nozzle is proposed, intended in particular for Diesel engines, in which an induction coil is installed in an intermediate disc. The coil core is embodied by a pressure element and a valve needle in force-locking contact therewith. An annular permanent magnet is secured either on the pressure bolt or on the intermediate plate. This embodiment of an injection nozzle, as a so-called needle stroke transducer, is used when it is desired to ascertain the duration of injection and especially the onset of injection.
Claims11
A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising a nozzle body (10), containing a valve needle (11) including a pressure tang (17), said nozzle body being fastened to a nozzle holder (13), a closing spring (19) disposed in said nozzle holder, which reacts on said pressure tang (17) of the valve needle (11) via a pressure element (18);
- an intermediate plate (12) axially between the nozzle body (10) and the nozzle holder (13), said intermediate plate having a recess (21) for the penetration of said pressure tang (17) of the valve needle (11), said intermediate plate forming a stop for limitation of the opening stroke of the valve needle (11) in concert with an annular shoulder in the transition of the tang (17) to an unweakened part of the valve needle (11) and which acts as a coil core to change the reluctance of a magnetic field formed by the induction coil to create a signal;
- characterized in that said induction coil (20) is imbedded in the recess (21) of said intermediate plate (12) and the tang (17) of the valve needle (11) extends at least partially through the induction coil (20), and a section (22) of the pressure element (18) extends through the induction coil (20) to form a coil core for said induction coil.
A fuel injection nozzle for diesel internal combustion engines comprising a housing, an induction coil attached to said housing for producing a magnetic field, a reciprocable valve needle in said housing, said valve needle comprising a coil core, said coil core including a pressure element and a portion of said valve needle, said valve needle coil core having a stroke arranged to vary the reluctance of said magnetic field produced by said induction coil to produce a signal, an intermediate plate member to which said induction coil is secured, a nozzle holder which abuts said intermediate plate member, said intermediate plate member and said nozzle holder including complementary upper and lower contact elements, said nozzle holder further including an elongated channel having a shoulder and a plug connection and an electrical line extending between said plug connection and at least one of said contact elements.
