Valve body and fluid injector with valve body
View Patent ↗A fluid injector has a housing, an actuator unit and a valve body ( 2 ). The valve body ( 2 ) has a needle ( 22 ), which closes or opens a nozzle ( 213 ) depending on its position and comprises a guided zone ( 221 ). It further has a first part ( 21 ), which is arranged in a fixed position relative to the nozzle ( 213 ) and has a guided zone ( 215 ). It further has a second part ( 24 ), which has a first guide zone ( 242 ), that guides the guided zone ( 221 ) of the needle ( 22 ), and which has a second guide zone ( 243 ), that guides the guided zone ( 215 ) of the first part ( 21 ), with the second guide zone ( 242 ) having a greater diameter than the first guide zone ( 242 ).
1. A valve body comprising
a needle, which closes or opens a nozzle depending on its position and comprises a guided zone,
a first part, which is arranged in a fixed position relative to the nozzle and comprises a guided zone, and
a second part which is arranged movably with respect to the nozzle, which comprises a first guide zone that guides the guided zone of the needle, wherein the second part comprises a second guide zone that guides the guided zone of the first part, with the second guide zone having a greater diameter than the first guide zone and taking in the guided zone of the first part, wherein the second guide zone has a smaller diameter than a free diameter of a return spring, that is arranged radially outwards from the second guide zone.
2. A valve body according to claim 1 , wherein the second part comprises a spring rest, where a return spring rests, which is arranged axially overlapping with the first guide zone.
3. A valve body according to claim 1 , wherein the guided zone of the needle and the first guide zone of the second part are located before a fluid inlet towards the needle in the direction of the nozzle.
4. A valve body according to claim 1 , wherein the first guide zone is axially spaced to the second guide zone or respectively to the guided zone of the second part.
5. A valve body according to claim 4 , wherein the first guide zone is axially further spaced apart from the nozzle than the second guide zone or respectively than the guided zone of the second part.
6. A valve body according to claim 1 , wherein the first part forms the nozzle and takes in the needle.
7. A fluid injector with a housing, an actuator unit and a valve body according to claim 1 .
8. A valve body comprising
a needle, which closes or opens a nozzle depending on its position and comprises a guided zone,
a first part, which is arranged in a fixed position relative to the nozzle and comprises a guided zone, and
a second part which is arranged movably with respect to the nozzle, which comprises a first guide zone that guides the guided zone of the needle, wherein the second part comprises a second guide zone that guides the guided zone of the first part, with the second guide zone having a greater diameter than the first guide zone and taking in the guided zone of the first part,
wherein the second guide zone has a smaller diameter than a free diameter of a return spring, that is arranged radially outwards from the second guide zone, and wherein the second part comprises a spring rest, where a return spring rests, which is arranged axially overlapping with the first guide zone.
