Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to internal combustion engines. Various embodiments may include a fuel injection system for delivering fuel to an internal combustion engine. For example, fuel injector may include a valve body having a cavity; a valve needle with a retainer moving in the cavity; an actuator assembly comprising: a spring element next to the valve needle; an electro-magnetic coil; an armature element movable in the cavity; and an anti-bounce device. The armature element may be between the retainer portion of the valve needle and the anti-bounce device. The anti-bounce device may impose a spring force and a hydraulic force for dampening a movement of the armature element. The anti-bounce device may comprise a spring portion exerting the spring force to close the valve needle and a hydraulic damper portion integrally connected to the spring portion.

Claim (Index 24):
A vehicle comprising:\n a plurality of wheels; a valve body having a cavity with a fluid inlet portion and with a fluid outlet portion; a valve needle movable in the cavity, the valve needle comprising a retainer portion; an actuator assembly to actuate the valve needle, the actuator assembly comprising:\n a spring element next to the valve needle; \n an electro-magnetic coil for generating a magnetic field; and \n an armature element movable in the cavity, wherein the magnetic field interacts with the armature element for moving the armature element to push the retainer portion of the valve needle; \n an anti-bounce device; the armature element disposed between the retainer portion of the valve needle and the anti-bounce device; the anti-bounce device operable to impose a spring force and a hydraulic force for dampening a movement of the armature element; wherein, in the closed position of the valve needle, the spring element pushes the valve needle to a first predetermined location to prevent a fluid from flowing through the fluid outlet portion; and in the open position of the valve needle, the armature element pushes the valve needle to a second predetermined location to allow the fluid to flow through the fluid outlet portion; and wherein the anti-bounce device comprises a spring portion exerting the spring force and a hydraulic damper portion integrally connected to the spring portion; and a combustion chamber for receiving fuel from a corresponding fluid outlet portion and driving the plurality of wheels.
