- the actuator thus assumes a dual function by not only serving to actuate the control valve assembly but also as a sensor for the operating phases of the fuel injector.
- control valve arrangement has a sleeve-shaped closing body which is displaceably guided on a guide rod and which is connected to an armature of an electromagnet arrangement forming the actuator.

- the control valve assembly 10 has a sleeve-shaped closing body 11, which is tensioned by a closing spring 12, which is designed as a helical compression spring against a concentric to the outlet port of the flow channel 9 seat.
- a closing spring 12 which is designed as a helical compression spring against a concentric to the outlet port of the flow channel 9 seat.
- the seat is designed as a plane surface on which the sleeve-shaped closing body 11 is seated with a linear annular edge. In principle, however, a seat of a different shape may also be provided.

- the control chamber pressure increases immediately after the closing time of the nozzle needle, at this time increases the force acting on the bottom 21 axial force of the guide rod 13 and causes an increase in the air gap between the inner pole 19 and armature 15. If there is a residual flux in the magnetic circuit at this time, Thus, the enlargement of the aforementioned air gap causes a change in the coil voltage (at vanishing coil current) or a change in the coil current (at vanishing coil voltage).

- the associated repercussions on the electric current-voltage curve at the magnetic coil 17 in turn provide the opportunity to detect the closing time of the nozzle needle.
- the embodiment of the Fig. 6 differs from the embodiment of the Fig. 5 essentially only in that the flexible bottom 21 rests on a ring land on the back of the inner pole 19 and an elastic gap 24 is changed in elastic bending of the bottom 21. Functionally thus apply to the embodiment of Fig. 6 the comments on the embodiment of Fig. 5 ,
- This web 25 is in the example of Fig. 7 provided on the side facing away from the armature 15 end face of the solenoid coil 17.
- the flexible bottom 21 is arranged and designed such that it rests on vanishing axial force of the guide rod 13, that is at a correspondingly low pressure in the control chamber 7 and in the pressure chamber 14, on the facing end faces of the poles 18 and 19.

Durch Verschleißerscheinungen am Kraftstoffinjektor wird eine Drift der Schließzeitpunkte der Düsennadel verursacht, mit der Folge, dass sich die Einspritzmengen des Kraftstoffes entsprechend verändern und der jeweilige Motor nicht mehr optimal arbeitet. Ebenso weisen die Injektoren auf Grund unvermeidlicher Bauteilstreuungen auch eine Exemplarstreuung der Einspritzmenge bei gleicher Ansteuerung auf.In principle, it is desirable to be able to detect the operating phases of a fuel injector precisely in order to enable optimum engine control.

Die Erfindung nutzt die Erkenntnis, dass sich der Steuerraumdruck am Beginn und am Ende der Einspritzphase eines Kraftstoffinjektors signifikant ändert Indem nun erfindungsgemäß ein zum Steuerraumdruck analoger Eingriff in das Magnetfeld des Aktors erfolgt, kann durch Auswertung des zeitlichen Verlaufs der elektrischen Spannung oder des elektrischen Stroms am Aktor der Betriebsablauf des Kraftstoffinjektors mit hoher Präzision erfasst und überwacht werden. Der Aktor übernimmt also eine Doppelfunktion, indem er nicht nur zur Betätigung der Steuerventilanordnung sondern auch als Sensor für die Betriebsphasen des Kraftstoffinjektors dient.The invention makes use of the knowledge that the control chamber pressure at the beginning and end of the injection phase of a fuel injector changes significantly.

Verlagerung dieses Bodens kann die Relativlage der Polschuhe verändert werden, wobei gleichzeitig die elektrischen bzw. magnetischen Parameter des Elektromagnets verändert werden.This part can be designed as a deformable or movable part of a rod axis radial bottom of a pole piece of the serving as an actuator solenoid.
