INJECTOR ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A fuel injector (100) for use in an internal combustion engine, the fuel injector comprising: an injector body (10) comprising a bore (11); an injector needle (12) located within the bore and engageable with a needle seat to control fuel injection through an injector outlet (15); an armature member (106), the armature member being engageable with an armature seat (105) on the injector needle (12), the injector needle (12) in part and the armature member (106) in part defining a control chamber (104); an actuator arrangement (44) arranged to control fuel pressure within the control chamber (104) such that fuel pressure variations within the control chamber controls movement of the injector needle relative to the needle seat wherein the actuator arrangement (44) is arranged to be capable of moving the armature member (106) from a seated position in which it engages the armature seat (105) to an unseated position in which the armature member (106) has moved relative to the armature seat in order to bring the control chamber (104) into fluid communication with a low pressure drain (118).
