- the nozzle needle tip is made of sintered metal, while the nozzle needle shaft, for example, consists of tool steel.
- the nozzle needle shaft is connected on the opposite side of the nozzle needle tip with a formed as a separate component, sleeve-shaped guide portion, which also consists of sintered metal.
- the mushroom-shaped nozzle needle tip has a substantially conical shape in the area protruding from the nozzle needle shaft.
- the nozzle needle tip has a cylindrically shaped fastening region, wherein between the fastening region of the nozzle needle tip and the inner wall of the nozzle needle shaft a frictional connection is formed by a shrink or press connection.
- a disadvantage of the known from the cited document nozzle needle is that although the respective function can be optimized by the choice of different materials for the nozzle needle shaft and the nozzle needle tip, the formation of a shrink or press connection between the
- Nozzle needle shaft and the nozzle needle tip due to the relatively low Diameter of the components and the manufacturing tolerances, however, is relatively expensive or a high-quality and accurate production of the components is required. In addition, the production of a different shapes or
- nozzle needle tip made of a different material or by means of another production technique in which a blank has to be correspondingly shaped or machined is relatively expensive.
- a nozzle needle is known from EP 1 059 437 B1, in which the nozzle needle tip is received in a blind hole-shaped receptacle of a nozzle needle shaft. Furthermore, the nozzle needle tip is arranged in a liftable manner in the axial direction of the nozzle needle shaft, with a sleeve likewise arranged in the nozzle needle shaft in the region of the recess lifting the nozzle needle tip in the direction of the injection openings of the fuel! limited.
- the nozzle needle known from the above-mentioned font makes it possible by pressure with the fuel pressure in the recess on the back of the nozzle needle tip to move the nozzle needle tip delayed to the nozzle needle shaft, so as to open, for example, at different areas of a nozzle body injection ports controlled in time or to shut down.
- the nozzle needle is designed relatively expensive.
- the invention has the object, a nozzle needle for a fuel injection device, in particular a fuel! Njektor, according to the preamble of claim 1 such that a structurally simplified and
- Fuel injection device with the features of claim 1 characterized solved that the nozzle needle shaft through a blind hole
- the nozzle needle shaft with its blind hole for receiving the nozzle needle tip a particularly simple geometric configuration of the nozzle needle tip can be achieved, in which the axial stop, in contrast to the aforementioned prior art, must not be formed by a frictional connection, but solely by the geometric design the inclusion in the nozzle needle shaft and the nozzle needle tip.
- the nozzle needle according to the invention makes it possible, for example, to allow a sliding fit between the nozzle needle tip and the receptacle in the nozzle needle shaft.
- this consists of a wear-resistant material such as ceramic, carbide or a sapphire and the nozzle needle shaft of a solid material made of steel.
- Training allows a particularly simple, inexpensive and easy-to-edit design of the nozzle needle shaft in a particularly wear-resistant design of the nozzle needle tip, so that the nozzle needle or the fuel injector, in which the nozzle needle is installed over the entire life considered at least largely constant closing and
- Opening times due to a relatively low wear or a relatively low geometric change of the nozzle needle tip has.
- Nozzle needle tip is larger than acting in the same direction
- the nozzle needle tip has a conically shaped seating area, which adjoins directly to the arranged within the receptacle, cylindrically shaped portion of the nozzle needle tip.
- a particularly simple production of the nozzle needle tip is possible, since only the nozzle needle tip has to be substantially formed or formed when the material of the nozzle needle tip consists of a rod material, such that the required fit between the nozzle needle tip and the nozzle needle shaft via a correspondingly accurate dimensioning or training the recording is achieved in the nozzle needle shaft.
- the material of the nozzle needle tip consists of a rod material
- Nozzle needle shaft in the mouth area of the receptacle a conical
- Such a design allows, in particular, an advantageous inflow of fuel in the region of injection openings and also ensures that only the nozzle needle tip, and not the nozzle needle shaft is arranged in the closed position in contact with the inner surface of a nozzle body.
- Nozzle needle tip and the inclusion of a press fit is formed.
- An interference fit is always useful or necessary if it can be produced relatively cheap in view of the manufacturing costs (depending on the materials used Düsennadelschafts and the nozzle needle tip and the dimensions of the components) and / or if any
- a transition or clearance fit is formed between the nozzle needle tip and the receptacle.
- a particularly simple or inexpensive manufacturability of the components due to a relatively large tolerance range of the components is made possible and beyond simplifies the assembly process to the effect that the insertion of the nozzle needle tip into the receptacle of the nozzle needle shaft can be particularly easily.
- At least one leakage gap is formed between the nozzle needle tip and the receptacle.
- This leakage gap can either be conditioned solely by the tolerance position of the components, or else, preferably, by a targeted processing, for example, the nozzle needle tip in the form of a longitudinal groove or the like. Such a configuration causes a slightly delayed movement between the nozzle needle shaft and the nozzle needle tip for releasing injection openings.
- the invention also includes a fuel injector, with a
- FIG. 1 shows a partially sectioned side view of a nozzle needle according to the invention for a fuel injector in the form of a fuel injector

- Njektors in particular a fuel injector for use in a
- the fuel injector is part of a so-called common rail system, is injected at the high-pressure fuel in the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, as is prior art and therefore will not be explained in the further course.
- the nozzle needle 10 consists essentially of two separate components, a nozzle needle shaft 1 1 and a nozzle needle tip 12.
- Düsennadelschaft 1 1 consists of a solid material, in particular
- the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 has in a central region a plurality of guide portions 13 which serve the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 and the nozzle needle 10 in the direction of its longitudinal axis 14 by contact with the inner wall
- the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 has a receptacle 20 in the form of a blind hole 21 for receiving the nozzle needle tip 12.
- the blind hole 21 having a constant diameter D has a base 22 which serves as an axial stop for the nozzle needle tip 12 in the direction of the nozzle needle tip 12 opposite end 23 of the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 is used.
- the end 23 dips into a control space (not shown) of the fuel injector in order to control the movement of the nozzle needle 10 for opening or closing injection openings 26 formed in the injector housing 18 in a known manner.
- the nozzle needle tip 12 is made of a different material than the
- Nozzle needle shaft 1 in particular of a wear-resistant material such as ceramic, carbide or a sapphire.
- the nozzle needle tip 12 has at least within the receptacle 20 on a cylindrical portion 24 with an at least approximately constant diameter d, wherein the
- Diameter d of the portion 24 and the diameter D of the blind hole 21 are coordinated such that preferably a transition or clearance fit between the nozzle needle tip 12 and the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 is formed, and wherein the diameter d at the same time the largest
- Diameter of the nozzle needle tip 12 forms.
- the diameters d, D are coordinated with one another such that an interference fit is formed between the nozzle needle tip 12 and the nozzle needle shaft 11.
- leakage grooves or the like. are formed (not shown) to allow a defined flow of fuel in the region of the bottom 22 of the blind hole 21.
- a conically formed seating area 25 adjoins the receptacle 20.
- the seating area 25 is designed to be in the position shown in FIG.
- the nozzle needle shaft 1 1 has a conical outer surface 28 in the mouth region of the receptacle 20 and the blind hole 21.
