Claims
- 1. A fuel injection nozzle for internal combustion engines comprising a nozzle body, a bore in said nozzle body, an insert including a valve seat disposed in said nozzle body on an outer end of said bore, said insert including a tubular body extension, a valve needle guided by said tubular body extension, said valve needle having a terminal head portion which cooperates with said valve seat for fuel passage, said valve needle adapted to open in the fuel flow direction against the force of at least one closing spring means, said valve needle further including an annual cylindrical shoulder positioned upstream of said terminal head portion in cooperation with said tubular body extension to form a throttle point for controlling fuel flow in accordance with the stroke of said valve needle, said throttle point being effective in an initial opening stroke and subsequently made ineffective, said valve needle further being arranged to be loaded by said at least one closing spring means, said at least one closing spring means including first and second mutually associated pre-stressed closing springs for causing a sudden increase in closing force of said valve needle subsequent to an initial opening stroke, said first and second closing springs being disposed coaxially relative to each other and to said valve needle, said first spring being supported on said insert and said second spring being supported on means associated with an opposite end of said valve needle, and said valve needle head portion cooperates with said valve seat for predetermining the initial position of said closing springs.
- 2. A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said second closing springs is operative during said initial opening stroke (H.sub.1) and, said second spring being operative during a further valve needle stroke (H.sub.2).
- 3. A fuel injection nozzle in accordance with claim 1, further wherein said two closing springs have different spring constants and are actuated in series and the softer of said springs is compressed during the initial opening stroke (H.sub.1).
