the equilibrium of forces at the nozzle needle 34 is therefore changed in such a way that the nozzle needle 34 moves into the control space 56 in the direction of the actuator unit 16 as a result of which the at least one injection opening 52 in the nozzle body 35 is released if the injection valve 10 is configured as a fuel injection valve an injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine can therefore take place as soon as the injection is to be ended the actuator unit 16 is deactivated as a result of which the valve body 29 comes into contact again with the sealing seat 63 in the control module 26 the hydraulic coupling between the control space 56 and the fluid return line 31 is therefore interrupted as a result of the feed of fluid from the fluid inlet 23 via the fluid feed chamber 54 and the inflow throttle 60 into the control space 56 the pressure in the control space 56 rises as a result of which the valve needle 34 optionally with the assistance of the nozzle spring 48 is moved away from the actuator unit 16 in the axial direction the nozzle needle 34 therefore passes into a closed position and the fluid flow through the at least one injection opening 52 is suppressed the assistance of the nozzle spring 48 for closing the nozzle needle 34 is of significance in particular during the starting phase of the internal combustion engine and with regard to an increased functional reliability of the closing operation of the nozzle needle 34 as a result of the formation of the first and second sealing edges 62 64 on the throttle module 24 reliable control.
