Abstract:
An injection valve for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, comprising:a housing and a valve needle, a valve needle shaft via which the valve needle is mounted in a longitudinally movable manner in a guide in the housing, a valve seat in conjunction with which the valve needle operates at one end for the purposes of opening and closing an injection cross section of the housing, the injection valve having a nozzle vestibule that is mounted in front of the valve needle shaft on a valve side, the nozzle vestibule being connected to a fuel supply channel for supplying the fuel which is to be injected and which is under pressure, the injection valve having a regulating chamber that is connected to the valve needle, and the regulating chamber being capable of being impacted with fuel that is under pressure, an adjusting component capable of relieving the pressure in the regulating chamber, the adjusting component being connected to a regulating valve for opening the valve needle, the injection valve having a closing spring that impacts the valve needle in the closing direction, abutments on the valve needle and housing in conjunction with which the closing spring operates, the closing spring being arranged on a periphery of the valve needle in the region between the valve needle shaft and the valve seat, the housing of the injection valve being constructed with a separate nozzle component that is secured on a nozzle holder, the valve needle lying in the regulating chamber via its rearward end that faces away from the valve seat, the regulating valve being arranged in the nozzle holder above the regulating chamber, the adjusting component regulating an outlet opening that is connected to the regulating chamber, a disk-shaped insert component provided between the nozzle component and the nozzle holder, the insert component containing the outlet opening and serving as an arrestment buffer for the valve needle, and a guide sleeve in which the valve needle shaft is guided, a front edge of the guide sleeve serving, on a housing side, as an abutment for the closing spring, the front edge facing away from the regulating chamber, wherein the nozzle component reaches as far as the insert component, the nozzle component contains the fuel supply channel, and, over its entire length, the guide sleeve lies inside the nozzle component.
