Dec 18, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/739562
Inventors:
Jack R. Lorraine - Newport News VA
Assignee:
Siemens Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:
F02M 5100
US Classification:
123470, 2395332, 2395851, 239600
Abstract:
A fuel supply assembly includes an electrically actuatable fuel injector having a first end, a longitudinal axis, and a fuel channel extending generally along the longitudinal axis. The fuel injector also includes a dielectric overmold including first and second electrical contact rings disposed about an outer perimeter of the overmold. The dielectric overmold extends downstream of the first end. The assembly also includes a dielectric connector shell generally surrounding at least part of the overmold. The assembly also includes an injector cup disposed over the fuel injector upstream of the overmold between the fuel injector and the connector shell. The injector cup includes a first end, a second end juxtaposed from the first end, and a generally longitudinal cup channel extending from the first end toward the second end. The longitudinal channel is in fluid communication with the fuel channel. Methods of installing and removing the assembly are also provided.

US Patent:
6543421, Apr 8, 2003
Filed:
Mar 21, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/813355
Inventors:
Jack R. Lorraine - Newport News VA
Roberto Ricci - Leghorn, IT
Assignee:
Siemens Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:
F02M 6114
US Classification:
123470
Abstract:
A fuel injector assembly for mounting a fuel injector to a fuel rail and permitting alignment of the fuel injector with an engine head. The assembly includes a cup having an upper portion and a lower portion, the upper portion being connected to a fuel rail, the lower portion including an interior, an exterior, and a lower surface. The fuel injector has an inlet, an outlet, and a fuel passageway extending from the inlet to the outlet, the inlet being disposed within the interior of the cup. A collar can be disposed proximate the lower surface of the cup, the collar cincturing the inlet of the fuel injector. A ring cinctures the inlet of the fuel injector. A fastener is secured to the exterior of the cup such that the ring establishes an interference fit between the collar and the inlet of the fuel injector.

Compensator Assembly Having A Flexible Diaphragm For A Fuel Injector And Method

US Patent:
6676030, Jan 13, 2004
Filed:
Oct 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/973933
Inventors:
Jack Lorraine - Harrisburg PA
Andreas Kappel - Brunnthal, DE
Enrico Ulivieri - Pisa, IT
Bernhard Gottlieb - Munich, DE
Bernhard Fischer - Toeging, DE
Assignee:
Siemens Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:
F02D 700
US Classification:
239 5, 2395333, 239584, 2391022, 25112906
Abstract:
A fuel injector comprises a body having a longitudinal axis, a length-changing actuator that has first and second ends, a closure member coupled to the first end of the length-changing actuator, and a compensator assembly coupled the second end of the actuator. The length-changing actuator includes first and second ends. The closure member is movable between a first configuration permitting fuel injection and a second configuration preventing fuel injection. And the compensator assembly axially positions the actuator with respect to the body in response to temperature variation. The compensator assembly utilizes a configuration of at least one spring disposed between two pistons so as to reduce the use of elastomer seals to thereby reduce a slip stick effect. Also, a method of compensating for thermal expansion or contraction of the fuel injector comprises providing fuel from a fuel supply to the fuel injector; and adjusting the actuator with respect to the body in response to temperature variation.

US Patent:
6715695, Apr 6, 2004
Filed:
Oct 11, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/973937
Inventors:
Jack Lorraine - Harrisburg PA
Assignee:
Siemens Automotive Corporation - Auburn Hills MI
International Classification:
F16K 3102
US Classification:
2391022, 25112906, 25112918
Abstract:
A fuel injector comprises a body having a longitudinal axis, a length-changin solid state actuator that has first and second ends, a closure member coupled to the first end of the solid state actuator, and a compensator assembly coupled the second end of the solid state actuator. The solid state actuator includes a plurality of solid state elements along the axis between the first and second ends. The closure member is movable between a first configuration permitting fuel injection and a second configuration preventing fuel injection. And the compensator assembly axially positions the solid state actuator with respect to the body in response to temperature variation. The compensator assembly utilizes a configuration of at least one spring disposed between two pistons so as to reduce the use of elastomer seals to thereby reduce a slip stick effect. Also, a method of compensating for thermal expansion or contraction of the fuel injector comprises providing fuel from a fuel supply to the fuel injector; and adjusting the solid state actuator with respect to the body in response to temperature variation.
