Abstract
The invention relates to a fuel injection apparatus, in particular for diesel engines, comprising at least one injection nozzle which is connected to a fuel pressure line and which has a nozzle element which can be actuated through a control unit for the opening and the closing of the injection nozzle, with the control unit comprising a piston which is displaceably journalled in a control passage, which is coupled at its one end to the nozzle element and which bounds with its other end together with a plug which is arranged in the control passage a pressure chamber which can be connected up to the fuel pressure line via a supply passage and which communicates with an outflow passage, with it being possible to vary the pressure in the pressure chamber through the release or the interruption of the flow through the outflow passage for the actuation of the nozzle element when the pressure chamber is connected via the supply passage to the fuel pressure line, and with it being possible to influence the flow through the supply passage into the pressure chamber and the flow out of the pressure chamber into the outflow passage through a displacement of the piston as a result of a pressure…
